Huang Dayou was right, he was really reluctant to throw away such a good canned meat.
I remember that when he was carrying his uncle Huang Yisheng on his back to look for Zhou Wen, he was really frightened by hunger. So much so that now, no matter where he goes, he feels uneasy without bringing some dry food or canned food with him.
Huang Dayou's appetite is also amazing. He is now the third big-bellied man in the mercenary group after Ti Jing and Ti Niu.
But he also has another characteristic that is incomparable to Iron Bull in terms of physical purity, that is, he is specially prepared to resist hunger. Perhaps because of the miserable experience of begging along the way to Taiyuan last time, his body is more resistant to hunger than others.
During normal long-distance training, he usually skips lunch. In his own words, he is not satisfied with the rationed dry food, and the more he eats, the hungrier he becomes. It is better to wait until dinner and eat two meals at a time.
It's more enjoyable and exciting.
But he didn't eat all day long, couldn't keep up during training, and his physical strength and strength didn't weaken. Even Zhou Wen was amazed.
As soon as Lei Dahai and the others interrupted, Xiao Shui's nervousness eased a lot.
Lei Dahai signaled Xiao Qi and Huang Dayou to be on the alert, while he ate with Xiao Shui. The two of them picked up the frozen chunks of beef with their bayonets, one bite at a time and the other in one bite at a time, quickly finishing the canned food.
But in the darkness, Xiao Shui didn't pay attention. Lei Dahai always acted deliberately, picking out small pieces and even stuffing them into his mouth with just some meat residue on the tip of his bayonet. Most of the braised pork in the can ended up in Xiao Shui's belly.
Lei Dahai even communicated with Xiao Shui softly.
Of course he knew what the recruits' mentality was like when they first went to the battlefield. Even though Xiao Shui was their leader when they first started training, training and the battlefield were two different things.
Moreover, Xiao Shui's willingness to help others and his simple and simple character also won the love of Lei Dahai and other volunteers. He felt that he had an obligation to help Xiao Shui get rid of some of the psychological burdens of going to the battlefield for the first time as soon as possible.
Who knows if the deputy commander will continue to be chased by the Japanese when he comes back soon. The more relaxed you are, the faster your body will recover.
"Brother Xiaoshui, if you don't tell me, I really didn't expect that the encounter with the Japanese during the day yesterday was your first time to participate in the battle. It's really not like it! You look like a veteran in fighting. You killed several Japanese in one go.
.There are 5 of them, right?”
"There are six." Xiao Shui clarified with some embarrassment.
"sharp!"
Lei Dahai handed a thumbs up to Xiao Shui's eyes.
He didn't praise like this just to comfort Xiao Shui, but praised and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
A boy who was not yet 17 years old and had not even joined the army for half a year killed six extremely cruel little Japs in his first battle. This kind of situation has never been heard of, let alone seen.
In the original Northeastern Army, no one would believe you even if you said it, and they would think you were bragging and didn't write a draft.
So Lei Dahai's admiration is sincere.
Seeing Lei Dahai's heartfelt expression of appreciation and admiration, Xiao Shui felt a little complacent and subconsciously puffed up his chest.
"Brother Lei, what was your first time on the battlefield like?"
"Hey, I'm embarrassed to say it, it's embarrassing." Lei Dahai thought of the bear like when he heard the sound of cannons for the first time, and his old face turned a little red.
"Brother Lei, just talk, there are no outsiders anyway."
The young man's interest was immediately piqued by Lei Dahai.
"Hey, I'm embarrassed to say it. The first time I went to the battlefield, I was just a soldier. I didn't understand anything, and my superiors wouldn't give you any instructions. I just followed the troops and rushed forward. When the machine gun on the opposite side rang out, I
I was frightened when I saw the brothers around me falling down one by one like wheat."
"At that time! I wished there was a hole in the ground that I could crawl into, so I would just lie on the ground digging dirt. My head was completely covered, and I couldn't even remember where I was or what I was doing."
"But at this time, not only were the machine guns on the opposite side firing off endless firecrackers like New Year's Eve. The bullets overhead were whizzing by like the north wind, but there were also cannons coming. Of course I know now
It was a 75mm mountain gun, but I didn't know this at the time. I heard the explosion that almost shattered my ears. I couldn't hold it in for a while, so... hehe... I peed my pants."
"Ah!" Xiao Shui was dumbfounded.
In his opinion, although Brother Lei is not very good at marksmanship, he is straightforward and helpful, and has great prestige among the new team members. Moreover, after hearing that Lei Dahai and the others have been fighting against the Japs for two years, he feels even more confident.
It's very admirable.
But he didn't expect that this mighty man who looked tall and strong and dared to fight against the devil would actually peed his pants when he went to the battlefield for the first time. He felt a little surprised in his heart, and at the same time he felt a little comforted.
At least I wasn't frightened when I encountered the kid yesterday.
As a result, Xiao Shui became embarrassed. Brother Lei had already told his embarrassing story, and he wanted to talk to him about his embarrassment.
He blushed and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Lei, to tell you the truth, when I was chased by the little devil just now, I was a little scared, my heartbeat was pounding, and... I also felt like peeing. Hehe!"
Lei Dahai was happy and patted Xiao Shui's shoulder gently and said: "Fear is nothing. After fighting a few battles and gaining experience, I won't be afraid anymore. Anyway, I think that among all the new recruits in China, there is only one who can do something like you."
There are almost no such people. If you are more courageous, you will be the first among all the new recruits."
"Really?" Xiao Shui became excited as soon as he heard it.
"of course it's true."
"Brother Lei."
"Well, you say."
"Now I'm suddenly not afraid anymore, my heartbeat is not pounding anymore, I just want to have a good fight with the little devil with real swords and guns."
Lei Dahai gave a thumbs up again and said: "Not bad, good job. You have adapted to the battlefield so quickly."
Seeing that Xiao Shui's tension was relieved, Lei Dahai breathed a sigh of relief.
As a veteran in the army, he has seen many new recruits being miserable. Even if they wet their pants, it is not a big deal. He is afraid that excessive stress will cause them to lose control of their emotions and start yelling and making trouble, which will end their lives.
Before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and there was no sound of gunfire in the distance.
Lei Dahai knew that the absence of gunshots meant good news, and it was possible that the Japanese had retreated.
Sure enough, not long after, they saw Gao Xiaoshan jumping out of the woods. Lei Dahai and the others immediately stood up. Seeing Gao Xiaoshan's tall and tall figure, the slight uneasiness that had always existed in their hearts was eliminated.
Unknowingly, Gao Xiaoshan's position in their hearts has already felt like a needle in the sea.
"The Japs retreated. I followed them for a while and found out that it was a Japs group with about a thousand people." Gao Xiaoshan said to several people.
