Chapter 166: Night Visit
We searched for the location of the grenade, but found nothing, presumably another grenade explosion blew the grenade away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The company commander soon came back with people, and Chen Zijun brought out all the remaining people in the camp. The entire second battalion was lined up in two columns, groping back and forth in the muddy water with the crooks of the calves.
Stones, shrapnel, wood, loaches...... All sorts of things were thrown ashore, but the grenade was not found.
Everyone was so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, but no one dared to say anything when they looked at Chen Zijun's gloomy face.
After searching back and forth for three hours, the sky began to darken, but Chen Zijun still didn't make a sound.
The three company commanders lined everyone up in a line, and they pinched the mud with their hands inch by inch.
Finally, after another half an hour, a soldier shouted in surprise: "Found it!" ”
Everyone returned to the shore, and in the complicated eyes of everyone, Chen Zijun wiped the grenade with rags, handed it to Zhao Yang and said:
"Do what you have to do!"
Zhao Yang wiped the tears from his face and threw the grenade out according to the skills instructed by the instructor.
"Boom!"
The flash of fire and the explosion lifted the muddy water more than five meters high.
"Back to camp!"
The soldiers quickly lined up in a long line and walked towards the camp under the leadership of their respective company commanders.
After dinner, the fighters climbed into bed to rest. I waited until one o'clock in the evening and quietly left the dormitory.
The dormitory is a converted classroom, with two gun-wielding sentinels at the door. Now the wartime alert level is implemented, and in case of suspicious situations, these two sentries can shoot directly!
I gently pushed open the window, picked up a small stone and threw it hard into the flower stand in the distance.
"Huh"
In the silence of the night, the sound traveled far away, and the two sentries looked at each other, took out their flashlights and leaned over with their guns raised.
I saw the opportunity to leap out of the window, close it before the two sentries returned, and climb the fence.
The battalion commander's office was at the front of this row of houses, and the lights were still on inside.
Pushing open the door, I didn't see the imaginary busy scene, Chen Zijun sat behind a desk and held a teacup in his hand.
"If you don't come again, I'll be ready to sleep", Chen Zijun put down the teacup and said, he was not surprised at all by my appearance.
"The ......" I hesitated and didn't know how to speak, it was impossible to tell him about the space, and I couldn't explain why we were here.
Neither of us spoke, and the atmosphere froze.
"It seems that you won't tell me", Chen Zijun said with a dark face.
I didn't pretend to be casual and slowly approached him, ready to take him hostage and rush out of the barracks!
Just as I was about to do it, I was dumbfounded by what he said next.
"Everyone is a soldier, and I know that your mission needs to be kept secret, so I will make it difficult for you to ask after me. Back in Vietnam, I guessed that you were also on a secret mission, and sure enough, I guessed it."
Chen Zijun said with a very powerful look, and he was very satisfied with my surprised appearance.
"Did it say when our battalion would be ready to go to war? Staying here has made me idle and hairy. Chen Zijun continued to ask.
"Well, I'm sure you'll be on it. Now you also know the situation of the troops, there are very few commanders like you who have actual combat experience and are familiar with Vietnam."
I am not comforting him, but stating a fact. Ten years of turmoil have just passed, and there is still a mess in the troops.
Soldiers are severely undertrained, and their tactics are badly derailed from the world; There is a lack of maintenance of weapons and equipment, and the weapons produced are completely unreliable in terms of quantity and quality.
These are not the most terrible things, the most terrible thing is that in the command system of the troops, the idea of a "spiritual atomic bomb" is still very marketable. When formulating plans, some commanders completely ignore factors such as terrain and the situation of friend or foe, and often talk about the superiority of spiritual strength over physical strength and steel.
………………
It may be that my words have played a role, Chen Zijun's face is full of red light, and he can't wait to carry a gun to the battlefield now.
I can understand his feelings, for a veteran, it is the most cruel thing to throw to a vacant place to grow fat if he can't go to the battlefield!
"I want to ask you a question, there are quite a few people who want to transfer their children to me, what do you think about such a thing?" Chen Zijun said the problems that had plagued him in the past few days.
I pressed my temples and to be honest the question was tricky. Chen Zijun said that I know that the children of some high-ranking generals are serving in the army, and they are afraid that their children will be in danger in the war, so they try every means to transfer their children to a safe place.
Chen Zijun's battalion is similar to a militia unit, and the probability of going to war is low, so it has now become a fragrant bait.
Not only him, but other similar units are also facing this situation. Logistics and transport troops are the "hardest hit areas".
Whether Chen Zijun agrees or disagrees, it is easy to offend people, a small battalion commander with no background offends the people above, and the outcome can be imagined.
I vaguely remember that this incident became a big problem later, and I was stabbed to the commander-in-chief, General Xu, and the old general was so angry that he was ruthless, and released such words: "Whoever dares to intercede again, I will let his children go to the thunder and block the gun's hole!" ”
Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea, and said to Chen Zijun: "Drag, drag hard!" Don't say yes, don't say no explicitly, the above will deal with such things! ”
With my words, Chen Zijun's face was happy, and he said yes again and again.
Then we talked about what happened after the separation, and I didn't want to deceive him, so I basically said that I was listening.
Chen Zijun decided that I was from some mysterious department, so I didn't force him if I didn't say it. Chen Zijun can recite the confidentiality regulations backwards, he knows the severity.
We talked until four o'clock in the morning, and since I had to train tomorrow, I got up to say goodbye to Chen Zijun.
"Do you need me to cooperate with you for anything?" Before leaving, Chen Zijun asked.
"No, when we're ordinary soldiers." With that, I left the house and rolled over the wall.
After I left, Chen Zijun sat in place and pondered for a long time, and finally shouted outside the door: "Zhang Cheng! ”
"Here!"
The guard platoon commander walked in with a tired face.
"Write down the names of all the people on duty tonight, and give them all verbal warnings!" Chen Zijun said with a dark face, he and I chatted in the office for several hours, but no one noticed that something was wrong, which made him very angry.
"Huh!?" Zhang Cheng, who came in, was dozing in an instant, and he really wanted to touch the battalion commander's head to see if the battalion commander was burned.
Seeing that Zhang Cheng was still in place, Chen Zijun couldn't control his anger anymore, got up and yelled, "Don't go quickly!" Give me more training in the future! With your vigilance, you would have been wiped all your necks a long time ago! ”
Zhang Cheng fled in the wilderness, and made up his mind that he must get to the bottom of this matter! (To be continued.) )
