Chapter 8: Memories of a Veteran
"Doctor! Come! Come on! Fan Fan shouted, and the workers who were attracted by Fan Fan saw that the old man was unconscious, and hurried over to help him up, and some people hurriedly ran out to call the doctor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The group placed the old man on a makeshift table made of stools. Fan Fan walked around anxiously, looking at the door constantly. A short time later, a voice dressed in white came in a hurry.
He walked up to the old man, rolled his eyelids, and touched his chest. Turning his head and asking, "What happened to him just now?" Why are there scars on my arms and chest? ā
"Just now, the noose broke, and he was whipped by the noose to save me." Fan Fan said eagerly, "How is it?" Whoa, are they? ā
"It's okay, let him rest for a few days, but his chest was twitched and he couldn't lift it and fainted. Pay attention to ventilation. The doctor walked away. At this time, Fan Fan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person was fine.
Fan Fan stared at the old man for a while, and the dissatisfaction in his heart had long been thrown out of the clouds. Fan Fan walked to the tank and cleaned up the scattered tools and broken noose one by one.
After a few minutes, the old man gradually woke up, and Fan Fan, who was guarding the side, hurriedly asked, "Master, how do you feel?" Are you alright? ā
The old man glanced at Fan Fan and said, "Pour me a glass of water." ā
When Fan Fan heard this, he immediately ran to the side and poured a cup of cold boiled water in a kettle, and brought the towel over by the way. The offender helped the old man to sit up and watched the old man drink water.
"Ahem, cough~" There was a cough, and Fan Fan hurriedly patted him on the back.
Fan Fan, looking at the old man, squirming and wanting to say but not daring to say, the old man saw Fan Fan's clothes and wanted to say but didn't dare to say, he was secretly amused in his heart, and said seriously: "Say what you want to say out loud, what does it look like!" ā
When Fan Fan heard this, he immediately did not hesitate and asked, "Master, why did you save me." ā
When the old man heard this, his face sank, and he turned his head and hummed: "No reason, Lao Tzu is blind!" ā
When Fan Fan heard that this was angry, he didn't care. The old man said, "If I don't push you, that noose will be drawn on your head, and it will smash your head, and my arm will be exchanged for a life." Go get me some water! As he spoke, the old man handed the water cup in his hand to Fan Fan. Fan Fan brought the kettle over and poured a glass of water for the old man on the side of the simple bed.
After resting for a while, the old man stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and said to himself: "Hey, after resting for so many minutes, my body will not be able to do it." It's so old! The old man stroked his arm and frowned. Suddenly thought of something, beckoned to Fan Fan and said, "Come here, cat cub!" Today I'm going to teach you how to assemble a tank, bring my tool bag. ā
After the old man boarded the tank, Fan Fan threw the tool bag up, and then boarded the tank himself. The old man was explaining to Fan Fan when a bunch of cast parts of a D-series early test car were shipped over. The old man sat on the body of the car and instructed Fan Fan to transport the tank turret with a remote-controlled loading and unloading machine. Install it under the guidance of the old man.
"Slow down, don't crush the turret base."
"Oops, your track load-bearing wheels are reversed!"
"See where you're standing, it's an ammo rack. The position you stand on is the position of the loader. The old man said knowingly as he drank his water. Fan Fan nodded. However, he didn't know that this would create a terrifying demon king in the future, the Bomb King.
Time slowly passed, and Fan Fan assembled four tanks from different countries under the guidance of the old man, namely the MS-1 G of the S series, the early test vehicle tank of the D series, and the Renault of the F series. M-line T.I. Cunningham. Gradually, Fan Fan learned about the advantages and disadvantages of tanks of various departments. The obvious blood ross of the D series is thick, all kinds of ricochets, however, the disgusting parts are damaged, the structure is too complicated and it is painful to repair, and the M series is economical and inexpensive. The tank is compact, the failure rate is low, but the speed is not too fast; The S series is rough in workmanship and has a harsh environment in the tank, but it has a large output. The rate of replenishment is high; Needless to say, the F series has a thin skin and filling, which is endlessly evocative, and melts in the mouth... Hiss~ Oh no, it's wrong. Ahem......
In short, under the guidance of the old man, Fan Fan became more and more familiar with the tank, and he also had a sufficient understanding of the tank members and the distribution of their parts, which laid a solid foundation for him to compete for tank hegemony in the future.
Time flies, the years fly like flowing water, in a blink of an eye, Fan Fan has been working in the factory for a week, because the last time the old man was sick, Fan Fan and the old man took meticulous care, so that Fan Fan and the old man gradually became familiar, the two can also talk, the old man does not put on a fierce and difficult to mess with, the old man who took off his disguise made Fan Fan feel that he was so talkative, and he knew military knowledge very well, and had his own unique opinions. In this way, Fan Fan was surprised and surprised, because he felt that he had found a mentor in life.
Fan Fan, who gradually became familiar with the old master, was not very in awe of the old master, and sometimes Fan Fan would also call him the old man, although he knew that his surname was Lie, but he never shouted, he generally called him the old man, and only called him Master Lie when he begged him.
On this day, after the two finished their work, Fan Fan said to the old man Lie: "Old man, let's not eat in the cafeteria today, let's eat here, I'll buy some wine and meat, let's drink some?" Fan Fan waited expectantly for the old man's reply.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, buy some loose wine, just some braised pork, and some peanuts." ā
"Great!" Fan Fan, who was allowed, walked out of the workshop to buy wine.
After a while, Fan Fan came back with a large bag and a small bag, and the two of them sat on the tank, put the food on the turret, and the two of them ate and drank. There is a good saying that every man with scars on his body has a bitter story of twists and turns that no one knows.
There is another saying that every man with a story who is not good at talking is good at talking when he drinks. That's how the old man is, the old man drank and drank, and then he lost his mind.
Seeing this, Fan Fan didn't bother him, Fan Fan guessed that this situation made the old man recall something. Fan Fan picked up a piece of meat and drank it while eating. On the ground, the words of a man rang in my ears.
"At the beginning, the four of us brothers just sat together to eat and drink, and now I am a bad old man." The old man sighed.
"What?" Fan Fan swallowed his meat in a hurry and said vaguely. The old man glanced at it angrily and said it again. Fan Fan was silent, he had not felt that kind of life and death, but he knew that this kind of relationship was comparable to family affection, compared to love, and more than friendship.
Fan Fan swallowed a piece of meat, took a sip of wine, and asked, "Old man, what did you do before?" What does your brother do? ā
The old man was stunned, as if he was thinking about the past, and after a moment he spoke: "Me? I'm a tanker. Commander of the crew of the Storm tank. ā
"What! You're the Captain of the Storm? Fan Fan looked shocked and asked in disbelief, "You are the Fengyun that destroyed nearly 300 tanks in one battle?" It's not that Fan Fan doesn't believe it, but the news is too shocking. In the history of Hebei City, there have been two super-large regiments, ruling all the chassis of Hebei City, as the saying goes, a mountain can not accommodate two tigers, these two regiments also inevitably started a war in the end, that war, the tank force invested and its scale was as large as tens of thousands of tanks to participate in the battle, and hundreds of thousands of people on both sides participated in the battle. And the best of them all is the Storm. They all said that the Storm was favored by the gods because it destroyed an average of thirty or forty tanks a day on the battlefield. The entire campaign lasted a week before it ended. During this time, the Fengyun also killed nearly four or five thousand people. After the battle, the Fengyun tank was also scrapped. It is said that when the Fengyun returned to the base, the car was full of potholes, like a pockmarked face, the loader was killed, the driver was seriously injured, and the on-board radio was damaged. The load-bearing device of the track is broken. It's a miracle to be back.
The old man continued to say calmly: "That time, we were ordered to hold on to a high ground. Attacked by enemy tank groups. In that battle, I lost my fastest loader, my most accurate gunner, and the driver who drove a tank as easily as a car. ā
Fan Fan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, because nothing he said could heal the pain in the old man's heart.
"In that battle, we repelled four attacks by enemy tank groups, and during the second attack, an armor-piercing shell penetrated the side turrets and killed the loader, and the driver was then seriously wounded. The gunner and I picked up our guns and fled from the tank. I use sniper rifles, gunners with rifles. The two of us fought and retreated, hung up dozens of enemies, and the gunners took a few shots in order to cover me. The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became. Tears also flowed. Fan Fan was silent, and after his emotions calmed down a little, the old man continued: "I said to him: "Come, I will carry you!"
Ahead is our base. "However, the gunner stubbornly pushed my hand away."
"And what happened to your gunner?" Fan Fan asked.
"How's it going? Finally died! He pushed my hand away, but I wouldn't, and he forced me away with a gun to his head. I have to go! The old man said bitterly.
"And then?"
"Later? Later, I hid in the distance and saw through the sniper scope that he had been captured. The old man was silent for a while.
"What happened after that? Did you escape? Fan Fan asked.
"Having escaped, I rushed to a makeshift command post, where it was decided to attack, I took part and brought back my tank at the end of the battle." The old man was a little happy when he said this, but a smile flashed across his face. The old man continued: "However, my pilot was also taken away by the enemy! There were only the corpses of the loaders in the tank. I frantically pursued them, hoping to find them. Still, something painful happened to me. ā
