CHAPTER XVI

"Company commander!" Thinking of this, I immediately stepped forward and replied: "I feel that my time as a soldier is still short, I still don't understand many rules, and I still need to refine and refine, and now this situation is not suitable for leading soldiers as a squad leader, I hope the company commander will consider it again......"

I have to admit that I've never been more humble. For the first time in my life, I agreed that humility is a virtue.

"Let you be as you are!" Company Commander Li said with an impatient look: "It's not up to you to decide whether it's okay or not, and then change people if it's not good!" ”

"I said Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" The instructor walked out with a cup of tea at this time, and when he saw this situation, he interjected and said: "The superiors let you be the squad leader because of their trust in you, and it is also an affirmation of your performance on the battlefield. It is true that you have not been a soldier for a long time, but your superiors appoint people on the basis of merit, and you do not use your time as a soldier to be a hero. There is a good saying, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat if it can catch mice! On the battlefield, it means that regardless of new recruits and veterans, it is a good soldier to be able to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield......"

Then there was a lot of horns, and I had to admire the instructor's eloquence, and at the same time understand that if I didn't accept this arrangement, then the instructor would always do my "ideological work".

So he had to stand up very reluctantly and said: "Report instructor, company commander...... I figured it out, everything is subject to the arrangement of the superiors! ”

"That's what a good comrade is!" The instructor smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with his speech.

After walking out of the company headquarters, Scar patted me on the shoulder and said, "I became a squad leader after only a few days of being a soldier, and there are really not many people like this." But the battlefield is this place...... It's not bad to say that it's a place to kill people, and it's also a place to find talents, isn't there a saying about it...... What ...... come out of troubled times?"

"Heroes emerge from troubled times!"

"Yes!" Scar nodded his head and said: "It's a hero in troubled times, you think, if you don't have this battlefield, how can you find out your kid's ability to kill enemies?" Do a good job, it's not difficult to be a soldier, for example, Xiao Wang of the first company, at first he said that he would not lead soldiers, and then he didn't manage a platoon of people obediently, and then for example, Xiao Zhao of the seventh company, people are still younger than you......"

"I said platoon commander!" Listening to it, I felt that something was wrong, and asked with some confusion: "I'm the squad leader...... It can't be what you asked for with the company commander, right? ”

"What are you talking about?" Scar's face sank, and he said seriously: "Who are you and me?" Can a platoon commander make a request to a company commander? I'm just recommending it personally......"

Ignoring it, I walked away, leaving me behind to hate this ugly monster to the point of itching.

In life, maybe everyone wants to be a cadre, just kidding, who wouldn't want to hold power in their hands?

But on the battlefield, positions such as squad leader, platoon commander, and even company commander are something that everyone is afraid of.

Why?

I've heard the old man say that our PLA troops have been known for their backward equipment since the founding of the army, isn't that? In the era of the Red Army, there were still those who took the big knife and shuttle to the battlefield, and in the era of the Eighth Route Army, they were still only equipped with three bullets, and after three shots, they had to rush forward with bayonets and fight hard, so they had the title of "Three Guns and Eight Roads". Even if it is the People's Liberation Army after the founding of the People's Republic of China...... It was also a weapon made of nations that had been seized from the enemy.

It is precisely because of this that the PLA troops have a tradition, that is, cadres must rush ahead when fighting.

Imagine if a poorly equipped and untrained unit waved its pistol like an officer of the national army, shouting: "Brothers, rush!" Kill one enemy and reward fifty pieces of ocean! Then he hid behind and supervised the battle...... Is there anyone else who will do your life for you? What are those oceans compared to life? If you have money, you can't spend it, do you?

As a result, most of the Nationalist troops were demoralized and undisciplined.

However, the PLA troops do not pay money, and at the same time, they cannot afford to pay money, and all he can do is for the cadres to set an example for the recruits, and they rush to the front one by one......

Now I am unfortunately a role model.

When I returned to the camp in a daze, I heard Scar shouting, "Second row, assemble!" ”

"Comrades!" When Scar raised his hand and said to the soldiers, "Our second squad leader died in the search mission, he is not only a good soldier, but also a good squad leader and our good comrade-in-arms. We must turn our grief and anger into liliang and recover this blood debt from the Yue devils! ”

"Get back the blood debt!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

……

The warriors raised their hands and shouted.

"Comrades!" Scar motioned for the soldiers to be quiet, and then said: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng of our platoon, although he has joined the army for a short time, his military quality and performance on the battlefield are obvious to everyone, and now the superiors have appointed Comrade Yang Xuefeng as the new squad leader of our second squad, what are the opinions of the comrades?" ”

"No comments!"

"Obey the arrangement of your superiors!"

……

The warriors shouted again.

I just kept silent because I knew it was useless.

Because he was angry in his heart, after disbanding, he sat on the stone and took out a cloth to wipe the gun.

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" The bayonet approached me while eating the can in his hand and asked in a slurred voice, "I ...... I heard you don't want to be a squad leader? Why? Afraid you won't be able to control us? Don't worry, we will obey your command and obey your arrangement! ”

"That's it!" Xiao Shi also came up and said, "You can rest assured that you will be your squad leader!" We've seen you kill so many devils these days, hehe...... It's so enjoyable! Follow you to fight the devil, you can't be wrong! ”

"Yes! Comrade Yang Xuefeng! The scholar also nodded and said: "Although you have not been in the army as long as us, you can capture the Vietnamese snipers, and you can kill more than 40 Vietnamese devils overnight with your own strength...... This is not something that ordinary people can do, you come to be the squad leader, we serve! You will lead us into battle, we can rest assured! ”

Only then did I realize that I became the squad leader because of the "limelight" I had in the past two days.

Why am I so stupid? I don't even know if the gun shoots the first bird......

"Give!" Just as I was feeling sorry for the new officer, Scar threw a large chain of bullets and an armed belt in front of me.

"What is this for?" Because I still thought that Scar asked me to be the head of the shift, I naturally didn't have a good tone to talk to him.

"Bullets!" Scar looked at me with some confusion.

"I know it's a bullet! But what are you giving me these bullets for? ”

"Shhhh Scar mysteriously pointed to the sniper rifle I was putting aside and said, "The superior asked you to keep it...... I didn't say I wouldn't let you use it, did I? ”

"What?" Hearing this, my eyes lit up: "You mean...... This is a bullet from a sniper rifle? Where did you get it? ”

"You kid is a fool!" Scar slapped me on the head angrily: "The devil's sniper rifle uses machine gun bullets!" ”

"Oh!" When Scar said this, my heart immediately lit up.

No wonder this sniper rifle can hit so far, it turns out that it still uses machine gun bullets.

I hurriedly pulled out a few bullets from the bullet chain on the ground and compared them, and sure enough, they were the same, and I couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and the depression in my heart was swept away in an instant.

Although the size of this machine gun bullet is about the same as a 56 and a half rifle bullets, it will be longer than the rifle bullet, and longer means that it can hold more gunpowder, and being able to hold more gunpowder means that the bullet can shoot farther, right? I still have this knowledge of physics in junior high school.

"Hehe, platoon commander...... "I don't even know what to say to Scar when I look at these bullets."

"Don't rejoice too soon!" A strange smile hung on the corner of Scar's mouth, and he turned around and left without explaining anything.

At that time, I only knew that I was holding a sniper rifle in my hand, and I thought it was just a burning stick with a gun but no bullets...... This feeling of being lost and regained is inexplicably excited, and of course I don't think of what the meaning of Scar's words will be.

Loaded with a magazine full of bullets for the sniper rifle, I grabbed it in my hand and played with a few, the weight is moderate, and the feel is very good, the butt is a natural line of hollowing, and as soon as I grab it, I can faintly feel a sense of murder and mystery from the gun.

I seem to remember that the old man once said that this thing is called SVD, and the range of the Soviet-made is up to 1,000 meters, which is more than twice as far as the 56 in our army.

Look at the armed belt again...... Attached to it were four empty magazines for the sniper rifle, a military spur, and a Tokarev pistol.

I divided it by two, and I tied it to my waist...... Not to mention, there will naturally be a strange feeling in my heart this time, I can't say what it is, it seems to be a little more confident, a little more stable, and a little more down-to-earth...... Although it is only a little more, I know that it is often just a little bit, and on the battlefield it is the difference between life and death!

Originally, I wanted to try the gun, but when I thought that there were Vietnamese agents lurking everywhere here, and it could even be said that there were Vietnamese agents mixed in our army, this shooting might cause misunderstanding, so I had to give up.

"Little stone!" I shouted at a few of my men from a distance.

"Here!" The little stone soon trotted all the way to stand straight in front of me.

"This!" I untied the 56 halves on my body and handed them to the little stone, and said, "This gun will be kept by you in the future!" ”

"What?" Xiao Shi was a little puzzled by the second monk: "Squad leader, this gun ...... Do you want to keep it? ”

"How?" I glared at each other and said angrily, "Didn't you just say that you would obey my orders?" Changed your mind right away? ”

"Yes!" The little stone straightened his waist and replied, "Resolutely obey orders!" ”

Looking at Xiao Shi holding 56 and a half with a bitter face, I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart: Whoever asked you to call me the squad leader is to give you some hardship.
