Chapter 10 Mental journey, joining the reconnaissance class

The period after lunch is the time that the soldiers of the Ninth Company look forward to most. After eating, they sit in the tunnel and take a simple rest. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the assembly whistle of the Ninth Company sounded in the tunnel, and the soldiers arrived happily.

The rest area in the tunnel has three floors inside and outside.

Company Commander Gao and the instructor were very happy. There was an empty seat next to instructor Lin. He shouted: "Comrade Xia Yuan, come and sit here."

Xia Yuan took a closer look and saw that his platoon leader, the first platoon leader, the third platoon leader, and the fourth platoon leader were all sitting in the back. What if he was sitting in the front? He quickly shook his head and refused: "Instructor, I'm with the squad leader, deputy

Just sit with the squad leader."

Instructor Lin shouted: "How can that be done? You are a hero who fought in the unknown highlands and you deserve to sit here."

The comrades around him also advised: "Comrade Xia Yuan, just go over there. We are all watching the battle on the unknown heights. There is nothing to say about your bomb-dropping skills and marksmanship. If you don't sit there, who will sit there?"

"

"Yes, Comrade Xia Yuan, hurry over."

Other soldiers of the Ninth Company advised him one after another.

Squad leader Hu said: "Xia Yuan, come over and sit down."

Company Commander Gao also said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, come and sit down. If you don't sit down, the performance of the lesbians will not start."

Xia Yuan had no choice but to sit on the stool next to the instructor with his gun in his arms.

Soon, the performance began.

The lesbians performing in condolences held folding fans and garlands and performed a beautiful folk dance for the soldiers of the Ninth Company. The male gays either held trumpets or violins and accompanied the lesbians in a melodious manner.

The beautiful dance accompanied by the music flows like a clear spring in the hearts of the soldiers of the Ninth Company.

The soldiers had smiles on their simple faces, a smile from the heart. They happily applauded the lesbians and gays in the art troupe. The lesbians danced, and the gays sang and laughed. The applause never stopped.

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and clapped from time to time, with a smile on his face.

This is a rare leisure time in Shangganling, and it is even more beautiful before the battle of Shangganling. Maybe in a few days, these young lives will disappear in the smoke of gunpowder, but at this moment, they exist, they are happy, and their deeds

Will be remembered forever by future generations.

The performance by the art troupe was very exciting, and the soldiers had endless aftertaste after it was over.

After the performance, the single lesbians handed the words in their hands to their favorite people. Many soldiers received flowers. Of course, Xia Yuan received the most flowers.

After the performance, Company Commander Gao specially pulled Xia Yuan and asked, "Is there any lesbian you like?"

Xia Yuan stroked the flower in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Company Commander Gao, "Company Commander, if an unprecedented battle breaks out in Shangganling one day, we will all die in the battle, and none of this will matter.

?”

Company Commander Gao looked at him, withdrew his gaze and poured him a glass of water, "Comrade Xia Yuan, I believe that the enemy will not give up. U.S. imperialism will never die, and war will happen at any time. So, we know that war will come, how can we just

Don’t you want to live anymore? No, we not only want to live, we also want to live a better life and face the next battle with a more positive and uplifting spirit. The instructor said something that I agree with very much. I will say this now

Let me listen to you."

"War will not overwhelm us, it will only make us tougher and more tenacious."

Company Commander Gao said: "Sacrifice, we will all make sacrifices, but our sacrifices are more valuable. Behind us are our compatriots and our motherland. If our sacrifices can bring a better tomorrow for our motherland, death is nothing."

, since joining ZGGCD, I have been ready to devote myself."

"Xia Yuan, you are a new comrade, you will gradually understand."

"Yes! Company commander!"

Xia Yuan's eyes gradually became brighter, and the haze of the upcoming war also drifted away. In the battle of Xinxingli, the volunteer soldiers were brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice. They used their young lives to gain victory in the battle and the glory of their death.

Death is great.

At Shuimen Bridge, in order to leave behind the 1st Marine Division, every soldier who faced death, even the injured soldiers, under Tan Ziwei's order, still stood up with their broken bodies, vowing to

Fight the enemy to the end.

The modern comfortable life has gradually eroded people's fighting spirit. They worry all day long about today and tomorrow.

In that era when corpses were everywhere and no light of hope could be seen, they used their own flesh and blood to break through the shackles of darkness, build an immortal monument, and build a great country.

Those who sacrificed their lives to build New China, those who endured hardship all their lives, and even those who never had two meals of meat until their death. They were born in such an era and fought for an almost impossible belief.

Fight with heaven, fight with earth, fight with people.

At this moment, Xia Yuan suddenly realized that such an experience was indeed terrifying, but the process of going through it was also a mental training.

A warrior who has trained himself since childhood will definitely be reborn after experiencing the baptism of war.

Life still has to go on, even if we know that the Battle of Shangganling will break out in the future.

Xia Yuan put the flowers in his hand on the table and said in a firm tone: "Company Commander, I'm going to dig a well now! If I can't dig well, you criticize me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Captain Gao was drinking water and was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, is the girl you like huh?"

Xia Yuan showed a smile: "Company Commander, I already have someone I like. I will tell you after the battle."

"Hey, you kid is back."

When Captain Gao heard this, he said, "Good boy, you are still playing riddles. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."

Looking at Xia Yuan's disappearing back, Captain Gao shook his head helplessly. Instructor Lin and the female leader of the cultural troupe walked in from the other side of the tunnel. Seeing the flowers on the table, Instructor Lin asked: "This is Comrade Xia Yuan."

Flowers?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Company Commander Gao said with a smile: "This boy, he just told me that he already has someone he likes."

The female comrade leader smiled and said: "It seems that many female comrades in our art troupe are going to be sad."

"Hahaha."

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

Sun Yuan, the second platoon leader, was taking the female comrades to visit the No. 0 position. When he heard the company commander calling him, he asked the deputy platoon leader to take him. He turned back to the No. 1 tunnel and saw the company commander Gao and Lin in the rest area.

instructor.

"Company commander, instructor, you are looking for me."

"Sit down and talk." Company Commander Gao pointed to the stool, looked at Platoon Leader Sun sitting on the stool, and then said: "Old Sun, our instructor thought about it for a while. Comrade Xia Yuan staying in the tunnel to dig a well is not a problem.

, he has strong individual combat capabilities, we are thinking that Comrade Xia Yuan should stay in the reconnaissance squad for a while first."

When Platoon Leader Sun heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, "Company Commander, Comrade Xia Yuan is already a member of our second platoon, and he fought with us once. How can he be transferred right away?"

Instructor Lin smiled and said to Company Commander Gao: "Look, I think Platoon Commander Sun can't keep his composure."

Platoon Leader Sun stood up from his stool and said: "Company commander, instructor, you want to transfer Comrade Xia Yuan to the reconnaissance squad to catch tongues. I can also take him there. I remember that I also fought with the Japanese."

Guerrilla liberated the whole of China, so grabbing tongues at night is no longer a problem."

"Isn't this already mentioned? Why are you so anxious? Sit down and talk." Captain Gao consoled him.

Platoon Commander Sun calmed down, sat on a stool, and said, "Company Commander, I think Comrade Xia Yuan is good in our platoon."

Captain Gao smiled and said, "You must be reluctant to let such a big treasure leave your second platoon."

Platoon Leader Sun chuckled and touched his head.

"Okay, what I told the instructor is to temporarily transfer. Although Comrade Xia Yuan has strong combat ability, he is still a new recruit and has only participated in one battle. He can continue to improve. With the end of the battle on the unknown highland,

Our company doesn't have any missions for the time being, but the reconnaissance team has been on a lot of missions recently. The enemy has been moving frequently. The last time we caught tongues, no valid information was found. This time, our superiors gave the first company and our ninth company the task of catching tongues. We will

Thinking about it, let him go to the reconnaissance class to exercise."

Captain Gao said: "Don't worry, it's not like you won't come back after grabbing your tongue. You'll be in a hurry."

Instructor Lin also advised: "Platoon Leader Sun, you also know that you are a veteran soldier, and you have to calm down when you should calm down. You know Comrade Xia Yuan's combat qualities. Do you think you should let him stay in the tunnel to dig wells?

What role can it play? Why not let him go out to exercise with the soldiers in the reconnaissance class to improve himself. He performed like this for the first time he participated in the battle. When he becomes a veteran in the future, he will play a greater role."

Platoon Leader Sun nodded: "Instructor, I am worried. I agree with the suggestions of the company commander and instructor. It is indeed not a problem for Comrade Xia Yuan to stay in the tunnel and dig wells. Everyone can dig wells, but go out to catch them at night."

Not everyone can catch the tongue, but Comrade Xia Yuan has a strong individual fighting ability, so he should exercise it well."

"Hey, that's right. When there is another mission, just let Comrade Xia Yuan return to the team. He is a soldier of your second platoon and a soldier of your second platoon. He can't escape." Company Commander Gao smiled.

, "Okay, go ahead and ask him to stop digging the well, and let him have a good rest before going out to do the task at night."

"yes!"

Platoon Leader Sun was about to leave, but Company Commander Gao stopped him again, "Wait a minute, we haven't finished talking yet. The safety of the female comrades and male comrades in the art troupe must be ensured to prevent any accidents."

"Yes, please rest assured, company commander and instructor, the female comrades of the art troupe are now in charge of the first platoon."

"That's fine."

Deep in the tunnel, Xia Yuan, who has been digging a well for more than a week, is still digging, with a dim kerosene lamp, a hammer, and a pair of nails. The well is already as deep as one and a half meters, extending diagonally downwards.

The humidity in the pit is already very high. In fact, even if there is no water, Xia Yuan can squeeze out water by relying on the soil in the pit. However, the water is not enough. What Xia Yuan wants is to get out of the pit.

This can ensure that there is no shortage of water and can also send water to other tunnels.

597.9 Highland has twelve positions and twelve tunnels. The other tunnels are not large and the space is limited. To dig one tunnel requires a company of soldiers to dig day and night. It is almost impossible to have time to dig the remaining eleven tunnels.

, and basically the soldiers on duty took the time to dig it out.

Digging wells is even more unrealistic.

But if water can be dug out of Tunnel No. 1, it can be given to the soldiers in other tunnels.

This is a good thing.

Because he knew what was going to happen in the future, Xia Yuan was very persistent in digging this well.

"Lao Hu, is Xia Yuan still digging wells?"

In the fourth tunnel, Platoon Leader Sun found Squad Leader Hu who was digging a tunnel.

"No, it's been digging for more than a week." Squad leader Hu dug into the wall and turned to ask: "Platoon leader, do you have anything to do with him?"

"It's like this. The company commander and instructor asked Comrade Xia Yuan to temporarily transfer to the reconnaissance squad."

"What? Xia Yuan is going to be transferred?" Squad Leader Hu and Deputy Squad Leader Li beside him turned their heads and looked at Platoon Leader Sun in disbelief.

Squad leader Hu said anxiously: "Platoon leader, didn't you mean..."

"Lao Hu, you are also a veteran soldier. You have to calm down when you should. You know Comrade Xia Yuan's fighting qualities. What role do you think it will play if you let him stay in the tunnel digging wells? Why don't you let him?

Follow the soldiers in the reconnaissance class to go out and exercise to improve yourself. He performed like this for the first time he participated in the battle. He will become a veteran in the future and will play a greater role."

Platoon Leader Sun said the words of the instructor's admonishment to him intact, and then said: "Comrade Xia Yuan is not really transferred. When the mission comes, he will still return to the team."

Only then did Squad Leader Hu nod: "That's fine."

He put down the tools in his hands and said: "Platoon leader, I will take you to find him."

The two came to the place where Xia Yuan dug the well, and when they heard the clanging sound inside, Squad Leader Hu shouted: "Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan, the platoon leader is here."

Xia Yuan's head popped out of the pit and said a little surprised: "Platoon leader, why are you here?"

Platoon Leader Sun said: "You should stop digging now. After discussions between the company commander, the instructor and myself, we decided to transfer you to the reconnaissance squad."

Xia Yuan was stunned for two seconds and said a little surprised: "Platoon leader, do I really want to go to the reconnaissance squad?"

Platoon Leader Sun nodded: "No, let's leave the well digging to Lao Hu first."

In the flash of lightning, Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face and climbed out of the pit: "Hey, squad leader, here are the tools. The pit has already been tilted down. The next step is to dig straight down."

Squad leader Hu couldn't help but remind him: "Xia Yuan, the reconnaissance squad is quite dangerous, so you have to be careful."

Xia Yuan assured: "Squad leader, don't worry!"

No one is better at night than him.

"What should be reminded is that when you go to the reconnaissance squad, you must obey orders and follow instructions. Safety and danger coexist when operating at night. You must pay attention to safety and do not act recklessly."

Platoon Leader Sun had been in the reconnaissance squad before, and he went out to catch tongues in May 1st. The foreign devils were not at ease. There were jumping mines on the road. Once triggered, the flares would light up overhead, followed closely by the American troops.

Bullets were fired at them, and some reconnaissance soldiers were killed by the enemy in this way.

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"Go and rest, and report to the reconnaissance squad in the evening."

"yes!"

Looking at Xia Yuan's back, Squad Leader Hu said: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to let Xia Yuan go to the reconnaissance team."

Platoon Leader Sun said: "This is like a valuable heavy machine gun. If you don't use it for fear of being damaged, it will never be able to play its role. On the contrary, it can play its role only if you take it out and use it. So,

Comrade Xia Yuan is a good seedling. No matter how good a seedling is, it will be spoiled, so it should be used."

"Just feeling sad is not enough."
