Chapter XXXIII

The army stationed in Nanling is an integrated regiment that has gone to Korea to participate in the war, and after returning to China, it has been stationed directly in the mountains and ravines more than 20 kilometers along the Sino-Korean border. The purpose of this regiment's stationing is not to play a defensive role, but to provide logistical support for the reconnaissance troops, and the regiment's communications squad will send back the information it receives at the first time by encrypted telegram, so that it can react quickly at the first time and act one step ahead of the enemy. Because of the particularity of this regiment, and for the sake of rapid action, the form of a squad of ten people and a platoon of thirty people was temporarily canceled, and the entire company of about 120 people were all directly ordered by the company commander.

Wu Qi was assigned to the communications squad by the commander of the third company, in fact, he was a guard standing guard at the door. But I didn't expect that when Wu Qi found the communication class, the atmosphere there was just the opposite of the slow and calm barracks, the small courtyard was full of people coming and going, rushing out of one room with some paper, and entering another room, when they opened the door curtain, it was even more lively inside, the walls were full of tables, a row of people sat in front of the table in front of the telegraph machine to receive and send telegrams, and the ears were all ticking sounds, which made Wu Qi's nerves tense, and he stood at the gate of the courtyard and was stunned, I forgot who the third company commander asked him to come to.

At this time, a person hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard, and when he passed by Xiao Qi's side, because the snow on the ground was shiny and slippery by stepping on, he slipped out with one foot and landed on the back of his head. Wu Qi heard movement from the moment the man entered the door, but there were too many people around, and he didn't pay attention to them, but when he saw someone about to fall beside him. reacted quickly, hooked the man's neck with his backhand, pulled the man over and face down, and then grabbed the collar with the other hand, stopping the man from falling to the ground.

The main reason for turning the man over face down was to keep his hands on the ground so that he wouldn't fall badly. But Wu Qi didn't expect that the weight of the person in his hand was very light, and he grabbed it just by carrying the man's collar, and at this time they still maintained the last strange movement in the courtyard, and the others just glanced at it and immediately went their separate ways, and no one had time to come over to help.

Seeing this, Wu Qi reacted and stretched his hand forward to his chest to pull the person up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand and didn't wait to touch the person, he heard a small shout.

"Hey! What are you doing! Where to touch it! ”

When Wu Qiyi heard this, he was startled that this was actually a woman, and the stunned kung fu people all struggled to stand up by themselves. It was a delicate girl. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, his little face was red, he stared at Wu Qi and said, "You, who are you?" Why are you running around here? ”

Wu Qi rarely has access to women, and when he saw a girl, he was a little cramped and didn't know what to say, and his mind turned several times before he remembered what he was doing, so he quickly stood up and saluted and said, "Hello comrade, I am from the third company, and I was just transferred today." If you want to report to your leaders, please give me a report. ”

The girl exhaled a hap of white mist. Rubbing his hands with some panicked eyes, he said, "Oh, that's right, they're too busy, I'll take you over directly, come with me." The girl stomped her foot, carefully treading the snow that had almost caused her to fall. took Xiao Qi into the room directly opposite.

The room was not as hot and warm as Wu Qi thought, on the contrary, it was quite cold, but there were many people, all of whom did not raise their heads or open their eyes, and they were busy with the work in their hands. The girl walked to the table in the middle and bowed her head to one of the several people sitting around the table looking at the table full of words. Then they all turned their heads to look at Wu Qi.

Wu Qi didn't know what was wrong, every time he was stared at by many strangers at the same time, he had some night sweats, and even felt that he was doing a thief's weak heart, but this time he decided to change it, and walked over without waiting for those people to greet him, and repeated what the third company commander told him.

After hearing this, the squad leader of the communication squad responded with a smile and said: "The commander of the third company is really a noble soldier, I just went to him last night to ask for a manpower, and this was sent immediately, exquisite!" Daintily! When do we have time, we have to go and thank the three company commanders in person, right? This was said to the girl, but the girl coughed and reminded: "Squad leader, this person is here, why don't you entertain it, what are you talking about?" ”

The communication squad leader glanced at her, then stood up, walked up to Wu Qi and said with a smile: "What do you call the little comrade?" ”

"Wu Qi, Koutian Wu, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven!" The answer was crisp, but the palms of his hands were a little sweaty.

After hearing this, the communication squad leader looked back at the girl with a smile, and then turned to Wu Qi and said, "Your name is interesting, the single word is seven, it is according to the old seven in the family, right?" ”

Wu Qi lowered his eyes when he heard this, but then raised his head and stood up straight and said: "Squad leader, I am an orphan, I used to work as a coolie in my hometown, and I was the youngest in the team. ”

Many people present heard Wu Qi speak, and looked back at Wu Qi in surprise, but when they saw that young and resolute face, they all smiled and turned their heads. After hearing this, the communication squad leader raised his hand and patted Wu Qi's shoulder and said: "The young man has been sinned against before, but he is born with a righteous face, and he is a good piece of iron, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." Speaking of this, the squad leader slowly raised his hand and touched the envelope in his pocket, and then said with a smile: "Wu Qi, you just arrived, according to the rules, you should be allowed to rest for a few days, but you can also see that our squad has a lot of things, and the most important thing is that there are not enough people who know how to send telegrams, so I asked the third company commander to ask for someone, since you are here, do me a favor to help the squad leader send a few letters." ”

Sending a letter is not a big deal, Wu Qi naturally didn't take it seriously, but when he heard the place to be sent, Wu Qi was stunned, it was actually the Sino-North Korean border post on the northern slope of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, far away from their current location. Not only was Wu Qi dumbfounded, but even the girl looked at the squad leader suspiciously, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to ask.

"Is there a problem with Comrade Wu Qi?" The communications squad leader asked Wu Qi again.

Wu Qi was stunned for a few seconds before shaking his head and said, "No problem, I promise to complete the task." ”

Hearing this, the communication squad leader took out the letter from his pocket, and there were three of them tied together with strings, and when he handed it to Wu Qi, he whispered to him: "This letter is very important information, because of its particularity, it can't even be sent by telegram, it can only be delivered by guò people, and it must not be opened or lost, you know?" ”

Wu Qi didn't even dare to reach out and take it after hearing this, as soon as he arrived, he was put on a heavy burden on his shoulders, but soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, Wu Qi naturally nodded and promised to send it to the place. It seemed that because he was in a hurry, the communication squad leader asked Wu Qi to set off immediately, but he had to make some preparations before leaving, let him carry dry food and a marching water bottle, and even let him bring a gun, saying that the border was unsafe and he had to carry weapons. After they were all ready, Wu Qi didn't have time to talk to Chen Yumiao, the commander of the third company, so he asked the squad leader to send him out of the barracks, and told him how to get to the place as quickly as possible.

But after the squad leader sent Wu Qi back to the communication class, the girl blocked the door and frowned and asked him, "Brother, what are you doing here?" When did we send a letter? Besides, how far it is! Wu Qi: What if something happens to him on the road? ”

This girl is actually the sister-in-law of the communication squad leader, her name is Dong Qian, the long water spirit likes everyone who sees it, and the squad leader is also a good-natured person, and everyone also depends on his sister-in-law, but when Dong Qian blocked the door and asked him about it, the squad leader replied with a cold face: "Why haven't you seen this girl who you care about so much?" How? Got a crush on that guy? ”

Dong Qian's face turned a little red when he said it, and he was about to open his mouth to explain, but he was interrupted by the squad leader raising his hand.

"We have so many things, don't trouble me, hurry back!"

After driving Dong Qian back, the squad leader stood at the door and did not move, touching the empty pocket, and suddenly noticed that there was a person standing not far away, and turned his head to see that it was Chen Yumiao, and before the squad leader could react and speak, he heard Chen Yumiao leave a sentence and turned to leave.

"Don't worry about the rest or ask, just act as if nothing happened." (To be continued......)
