After an airship bombing accident, for the Sixth Regiment where the Ninth Company was located, there was nothing more than a "ghost cannon" in the military camp legend.
Why is it a ghost cannon? Because no one knows where the cannonballs came from. Of course they don't know what they have experienced. This is the first air raid from the sky to the land in human history!
It's definitely something that can go down in history. But they don't know it at all because no one told them.
After all, this matter itself is confidential, or in other words, using airships to conduct ground bombing is itself a secret.
Because of this, this air strike was like a "ghost cannon" falling from the sky to these soldiers.
There are urban legends in cities, and of course there are military camp legends in military camps.
Legends are legends, training must be carried out after all, especially shooting training. After the shooting training is completed every day, firearms must be maintained.
"Don't be lazy. If the platoon leader discovers that someone's gun was not polished seriously, don't blame me for being rude!"
Si Dongli removed the lever of the rifle, wiped it carefully, and cleaned every part. While wiping the gun, Si Dongli yelled. As a squad leader, he actually just said that he was strict. As for the so-called rudeness, at most it was a punishment.
It was just a ten-kilometer cross-country run. I had never used a military stick or a whip.
"Si Dongjie!"
The company headquarters messenger appeared at the door of the dormitory,
"The company commander asked you to go!"
Si Dongjie immediately assembled the gun he was cleaning in his hand, quickly put away the maintenance equipment and the Type 62 rifle, and trotted all the way to the company headquarters.
The Ninth Company of the Third Battalion of the Sixth Infantry Regiment, where Si Dongjie belongs, was transferred back to Shandong from Shanxi six months ago. In the past two years, they have been stationed in Taiyuan, Shanxi—that is, Santiago, Chile. They were stationed a few years ago.
After Chile's "assisted defense", the Sixth Regiment has been conducting "appeasement operations" in the Taiyuan area. Of course, there have been no large-scale armed conflicts. Except for occasionally catching some unstable elements, their main task is to cooperate with the civil affairs department in "
"Land Reform", carried out large-scale public security operations in the local area, wiped out defeated soldiers and bandits, and trained soldiers of the local security team.
After several months of frequent security battles last year, the Sixth Regiment was transferred out of Shanxi and returned to Nanhua for rest and recuperation. At the same time, soldiers and officers began to take vacations in batches.
"Report! Sergeant Si Dongjie has been ordered to report for duty!"
He saluted at the door and reported loudly.
There was only one company commander in the company commander's office. The company commander Li Ziyue was wearing a standard Nanhua uniform. The uniform borrowed elements from the 65-style military uniform, but changed it to a stand-up collar, and the style was more slim. He looked absolutely heroic when he wore it.
Li Ziyue, who was sitting behind his desk, was working hard on writing a report. On the wall behind him was a Suzaku military flag.
"Take a break,"
Nodding, Li Ziyue said:
"I remember your cousin and his friends are in Shandong, right?"
As the company commander, he naturally knows the situation of each brother, and his emergency contact address is here.
"Yes, sir! My cousin and I immigrated to Nanhua in the first phase, but after leaving the education camp, I was assigned to a road construction site in Shanxi, and they arrived in Shandong. Since then, we have exchanged several letters..."
"Well, it's not easy to have relatives in Nanhua. Let's go see them! I'll be on leave for half a month from now on."
Picking up a piece of paper and handing it to him, Li Ziyue said without raising his head.
"Starting from 12 noon today. This is your leave certificate."
"Thank you sir!"
Si Dongjie was naturally very happy when he heard that he could take a vacation to visit his cousin and the others. He grinned. In fact, he, Si Dongli, and Si Dongchuan were just cousins in the same family, and they were not even close to each other.
It's close, but it's really not easy to have a relative here in Nanhua! I don't know how many people are all alone here, without even a relative to talk to.
"No need to thank me, this is an order from the military headquarters."
Li Ziyue said,
"When you are on vacation, remember to wear military uniforms and look energetic! You must show your dignity as a soldier!"
"Yes, sir!"
After coming out of the company headquarters, a beaming Si Dongjie returned to the dormitory, packed up his weapons and personal equipment, put on a new military uniform, went through the handover procedures with the rifle and the ordnance officer, and then received the Type 62
Revolvers, soldiers are allowed to carry weapons on family visits and leave, not to show their status as soldiers, but for safety, so they will carry short guns.
In order to enhance the sense of honor of soldiers, carrying an army dagger with a serial number is a kind of military honor.
After hanging up the army dagger, Si Dongjie looked at his image in front of the plastic surgery mirror in the dormitory: he looked absolutely heroic. Especially after hanging up the pistol, he looked more like an officer. Although a soldier's dagger is different from an officer's dagger,
But it seems to be the same thing.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Si Dongjie believes that he will be able to become an officer one day. The company commander has told him that the non-commissioned officer training team has recommended him this time.
"After this training period, you can be promoted to sergeant, first as acting platoon leader, and then as an officer..."
After thinking about it in his mind, Si Dongjie still felt a little regretful - if he could be promoted to sergeant and appear so majestic at the door of his cousin's house, what kind of eyes would they look at him?
What kind of expression would the scholarly cousin have?
Si Dongjie grinned when he thought of his cousin who had only passed the childbirth examination. He would definitely be jealous of himself...
He turned sideways and checked his armed belt, pulled down the hem of his clothes, and finally adjusted his high-waisted leather boots. These boots were only worn during normal times. When marching, they had to wear leggings. They all wore hard soles.
short boots, but big guys still like to wear high-waisted boots.
Nothing but majesty!
"One day, I might be able to ride a horse out of the military camp!"
That is the symbol of an officer!
Si Dongjie never doubted that he would one day become an officer, although two years ago when he left the construction site and was sent to serve as a soldier, he cried many times - what is being a soldier? Not to mention suffering and hardship, how can you not protect everything?
You will lose your head.
What soldiers eat is life-long rations!
When he was in his hometown in northern Anhui, he had been a deserter - he had escaped from Marshal Miao's team, which gave him the idea of being a deserter. However, this place was unfamiliar to people, so he just ran away and went there again.
What about escaping?
Thinking about it now, Si Dongjie felt that he had been in the army for more than two years, almost as if he had been reincarnated as a human being. He was secretly glad to have become a soldier so many times.
How wonderful it is to be a soldier!
The military pay is high, the status is high, and you have the opportunity to become an officer. This life is simply worth living.
After wearing the two medals and saying goodbye to his brothers, Si Dongjie went directly to the military service club in the camp. The goods sold in the military service club were cheaper than in the market. Whether they were visiting relatives or going out to camp, the officers and soldiers
I like to buy some things there to please my lover or bring them to my family.
Now that he is going to visit relatives, Si Dongjie is also an exception. He also wants to buy some things here to bring to his cousin and others, as well as his sister-in-law and nephew whom he has never met.
A few hours later, Si Dongjie got on the train to Shandong at a nearby train station...
