Chapter 7: For the Next Generation!
"Wanli also came with him."
Xia Yuan saw Wu Wanli and leaned over to speak.
"This kid sneaked out." Wu Qianli glared at Wu Wanli and said to Xia Yuan: "Xia Yuan, you take him to carry ammunition, don't be afraid of tired him, he has lived on a fishing boat since he was a child, and the last thing he is afraid of is hardship." ”
"Let's go."
Xia Yuan looked at Wu Wanli with a smile, Wu Wanli in a military uniform was still quite handsome, after all, he was played by a star, even if his skin was darker, but the foundation was still there.
Carrying a box of ammunition, Wu Wanli couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yuan, when will you teach me kung fu." ”
Xia Yuan restrained his expression, "There is going to be a war soon, it's too late, we are going to set off tonight, and when the war is won, I will teach you." ”
"Yo, it's new again, Xia Yuan, who is he?"
Yu Congrong had a lot of food sticks hanging on his body, and he came over from not far away, and his eyes swept Wu Wanli from time to time: "So small, your brother?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, this is the company commander's younger brother, Wu Wanli." Xia Yuan put the ammunition box on the stuffy tank car and looked back.
The supplies had been almost moved, and it was almost dark, and the tiled lights under the station emitted a faint yellow glow.
"Yo-hee."
"Seven-company gathering!"
The whistle interrupted Yu Congrong's words, the originally noisy railway platform quieted down, and the various companies began to assemble and walked towards the station platform, Xia Yuan took Wu Wanli to stand behind the team, and followed the team to the train station.
"One, two, one! One, two, one! ”
There were voices shouting slogans everywhere, and the echoes drifted in a far direction, and the sound of neat footsteps stirred the hearts of the two recruits, Xia Yuan and Wu Wanli.
The two of them did not have guns on them, and they had not officially joined the team, and they were learning the footsteps of the soldiers around them.
Bang!
The red flares rose into the air, as if turning on a signal, and the shouts of 'stand still' were heard in the distance.
Wu Wanli was agitated and looked up.
"Scared?"
"Sort of."
Xia Yuan took Wu Wanli with him, and the two looked left and right like curious babies, looked up and looked at the bullets fired by the red lighting signal gun, and chatted in a low voice.
"The third company should be one hundred and forty-one people, but it is one hundred and thirty! The rest is on the way back! ”
"The artillery battalion should have reached two hundred and fifty-eight people, but it has reached two hundred and twenty-one!"
The sound of continuous counting came from a distance, and Xia Yuan turned his head to look at the battalion next to him, this was an artillery battalion, and the number of people was twice as large as the seventh interspersed company.
Wu Qianli's voice also came from the front of the team: "The seventh interspersed company should be one hundred and fifty-eight people... Real..."
"Report!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a more powerful voice, and a soldier riding a twenty-eight bar roared loudly while riding: "Mei Sheng, the instructor of the seventh interspersed company, is back!" ”
"The seventh interspersed company should have reached one hundred and fifty-eight people, but it has reached one hundred and fifty-eight people!"
Wu Qianli's voice came again: "Join the ranks!" ”
Mei Sheng rode the 38 bars to the side of the team and set them up: "Yes!" ”
Xia Yuan looked at Mei Sheng, the instructor of the Seventh Interspersed Company, who looked clear and bright, and looked bookish, but don't underestimate the scholar, when he went to the battlefield, he was not ambiguous at all, and he was not fierce.
"Company commander, I want to pee."
Just thinking about it, Wu Wanli beside him raised his head and shouted.
Causing the soldiers of the Seventh Company to burst into laughter, Wu Qianli looked back at his younger brother, "Speak and shout a report, you pee and solve it on the spot." ”
Wu Wanli touched Xia Yuan beside him with his hand: "Brother Yuan, are you going?" ”
Xia Yuan thought for a while: "Report, I'll go to the toilet too." ”
Wu Qianli just walked to Mei Sheng's side, and turned back: "Go." ”
The two of them found a corner, and when they came back after peeing, there were people everywhere.
They climbed up to a high platform, overlooking the entire station, the green military tent erected on the platform, a section of stuffy jar military trains docked in front of the platform, Yu Congrong under the team grabbed the 38 big bars, and rode crookedly, followed by a few soldiers who wanted to ride, and two or three soldiers of the fire platoon behind them were supporting, and the others looked curiously.
After a while, I heard Yu Congrong's voice coming: "Company commander, I will... Other... Don't move, go aside. ”
From time to time, there was a burst of laughter in the company.
The orange lights reflected all this in front of him, it was so harmonious, there was still some time before boarding the car, and the soldiers were all idle together, speaking the dialects of various places, chatting and talking without understanding the language.
Xia Yuan stood on the high platform and asked, "What do you think, if you sneak over with you, you won't be afraid that your brother will beat you." ”
"He won't." Wu Wanli looked around with dark skin, feeling that everything was so novel.
If it weren't for Wu Qianli, it is estimated that he would follow his parents to fish for the rest of his life, the wheel of history has changed at this moment, and after experiencing the transformation of the battlefield, he will become a qualified volunteer soldier.
"It's all about protecting the family and defending the country, why can he, I can't."
Wu Wanli said a little stubbornly.
"There is a price to be paid for defending the homeland and the country."
Knowing the changes in the future, Xia Yuan felt a little sad in his heart, and he was not sure if he could survive this war.
"I'm not afraid, my brother said, they won't let me fight after the battle, that's not good, I can't drag my brother back, they can, I can too."
Wu Wanli shook his head.
Xia Yuan looked at Wu Wanli's handsome face, and suddenly thought of the video of interviewing veterans of the Anti-Japanese War decades later.
'Who is not afraid to go to the battlefield, but as soon as the trumpet sounds, he is not afraid, everyone is rushing, no one is afraid. ’
Our generation has suffered all the hardships that it deserves, and the next generation will not have to suffer. ’
It's all about working for the next generation. Wu Baili and Wu Qianli are for Wu Wanli, and those thousands of volunteer soldiers are for the future generations.
War should not be forgotten, and while we remember history, we should also remember those who sacrificed themselves for our generation.
As the One said, immortal.
"Let's go, I'm about to go."
Standing on the high platform, Xia Yuan looked at the soldiers below, and the fear in his heart was dispelled.
Wu Wanli said: "I want to watch it for a while." ”
Xia Yuan patted this kid on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Join the army, you have to take those little temperaments, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, your brother doesn't want to watch a street slicker enter the team." ”
Wu Wanli thought about it, followed Xia Yuan down the high platform, and stood behind the team of the Seventh Company.
After a short break, the assembly whistle was blown again.
The division commander stood in the distance and shouted with a loudspeaker: "All departments board the train!" All parts board! ”
There was a loud and loud response from the crowd:
"Yes! Boarding! ”
The volunteer soldiers with guns on their backs rushed into the stuffy tank carriages divided by each company without dragging mud and water, and without the slightest hesitation.
Getting on the military column means stepping on the battlefield, and Xia Yuan's whole person is very excited.
Xia Yuan followed the soldiers of the Seventh Company and entered the carriage.
The warriors below put away the wooden pedals, and the stuffy jar military column let out a loud 'woo' sound, and slowly started with a clang.
The soldiers who stood guard and stayed on the platform saluted with the highest salute, and the orange light fell on them, which was not real.
The soldiers in the carriage saluted, and I don't know how many people will die there.
How can they fight without sacrifice, they love their country deeply, throw their heads, spill their blood, and do not give up.
Xia Yuan watched this scene quietly, and when he saw it, he was already a person in the movie, until the train started running, and the wind was whistling through the open gate, blowing his cheeks like a knife in pain, and they closed the door of the carriage.
There are only two yellowing lights in the carriage, and the relatively spacious carriage is equipped with beds with upper, middle and lower levels, and weapons and ammunition are stacked in idle places.
Wu Qianli sat on the ammunition box and looked around, Xia Yuan found the bed of his fire platoon, Yu Congrong was teaching Xia Yuan to tie his own bedding, these bedding was to be brought to the battlefield, after all, he had to rest at night, Xia Yuan was also a recruit, and Yu Congrong was still very concerned about Xia Yuan when he was accepted by them early.
