Twenty kilometers south of Merida is the small town of Achinsa.
Yue Hao is digging a hole with a hoe, doing his old job - repairing the earth. He was originally a civil engineer affiliated with China State Construction Engineering Corporation, and went to Africa to make money in construction.
After surviving a catastrophe, Yue Hao followed his compatriots to endure hardships in Angola for two years. Waiting to survive, he followed the legion commander to Havana to prepare for the good times. However, because of his high academic qualifications, the organization considered him a professional counterpart, so he was kicked into the army.
artillery.
"What the hell, I just fired a cannon on a construction site, how can I be considered a professional counterpart who can kill soldiers?"
Yue Hao dug a hole for a long time, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. The mud and sweat stuck to his camouflage uniform on his body. No matter how dirty he looked, he didn't look like a soldier, but like a migrant worker.
Yue Hao was accompanied by a platoon from the Mexican Liberation Front. They were really authentic migrant workers. They were all honest and worked very hard. They were digging trenches under the command of Yue Hao. The basic operation was to make a hole first and then use explosives.
The soil is blown loose and finally excavated into shape.
This job sounds simple, but it requires some skills to do it, and there are certain risks. Because there is not enough explosives, the expiration shells obtained by Zhou Qingfeng were used to blast the craters. Although this thing is not equipped with a fuse, it has no fuse.
You can also have great fun by paying attention.
Now that the war is approaching, things are busy.
The more than 500,000 people in the city have been trained and cultivated for more than a year after the nuclear winter. Every one of them is precious, and it is not worth it to let them stay in the city and be bombarded. Therefore, the city of Merida must
Carry out evacuation.
At the same time, in order to expand the depth of the battlefield, the security army commanded by Qin Weidong expanded the size of the army and sent troops to occupy the towns around Merida. These towns were abandoned in the past, but now they will become forward positions after renovation.
Only by holding these forward positions can the city be saved.
Yue Hao's task is to lead a team to work and build positions. Although the Mexican Liberation Army's troops still appear to be extremely rustic, after more than a year of education and training, a team has ideals, beliefs, the courage to sacrifice, and the courage to contribute.
The team is taking shape.
Zhou Qingfeng is very strict about the ideological work of the troops. The more difficult it is, the more emphasis is placed on discipline. This situation is particularly obvious in the Mexican Liberation Army. The equipment may be poor and the tactical training may be poor, but the cohesion must not be held back, otherwise it will be
A plate of sand was scattered.
Due to the lack of professional tools, Yue Hao could only rely on a hoe to dig fortification positions. When he was almost dead from exhaustion, a Mexican came forward and said: "Sir, you can take a rest."
Looking at the trench that was being formed, Yue Hao nodded and found a mound of dirt next to the position to sit down and rest. He used to work on projects in Africa and was used to taking the lead in the work. Otherwise, African workers could complete the simplest work for hundreds of years.
Come in a variety of ways.
However, it is a little different in Mexico. Mexico has extremely cunning, treacherous and cruel gangsters, as well as low-level farmers who are so honest that they have no temper. Yue Hao can make them work hard with his simple Spanish that he has just learned.
After sitting down and turning on the kettle, Yue Hao poured a large amount of water into his thirsty throat. There was a radio on the mound beside him, and the radio was playing inside.
"Dear defenders of Merida, I am Usserman. It is now 12 o'clock at noon, and I would like to extend my cordial greetings to you in the broadcast room. I think you are all tired after a long morning's work.
I can sing a song for you, I hope you like it."
A sweet and pure girl's voice came from the radio. As soon as this voice sounded, all the Mexican platoons who were repairing the position stopped what they were doing and looked over.
The propaganda organization of the FMLN is quite complete. Although the conditions are very simple, the entire team has been able to persist and grow even in the last days of lack of food and drink. The girl named Userman on the radio can be said to have played an important role.
Userman's broadcasts are not specially arranged, and can even be called messy. She usually sends out some press releases to talk about the current situation in the FMLN and North America, and also talks about the past and current life on the radio. It's really nothing.
However, she just sang.
Although Userman has not received any training in singing, she has listeners all over the Mexican Front, Merida and even Mexico. She is one of the few announcers currently who specializes in broadcasting for the people at the bottom of Mexico.
For Mexicans in desperate situations, Userman's voice is an important spiritual support. Listening to her talk and chat every day is the only comfort for many Mexicans.
Userman's words on the radio are enough to excite many people. Since the reporters of the Mexican Liberation Front are everywhere covering advanced deeds, in order for Userman to read his name on the radio, many companies in the Mexican Liberation Army are
Working hard.
After finishing the song, Userman on the radio began to read a press release. At the beginning there was an analysis of the current situation, which means that the enemy is approaching and we will never surrender.
Moving on to the current preparations for war, Userman read: "Soldiers of the third battalion, one company and one platoon of the sixth regiment of the second division of the security army, I would like to express my sincere respect to you. Yesterday, you completed the construction of fortifications beyond the standard. This
It will be an important facility to protect our city..."
Usserman Barabala said a lot later, but when she read out the commendation number, the Mexican platoon led by Yue Hao cheered collectively.
The shouts of ecstasy could be heard endlessly on the battlefield, and Yue Hao, who was sitting on the mound, also grinned. It was the platoon he led that was commended, and he submitted all the commendation applications. There were more than 40 people in the platoon.
The Mexican soldiers went crazy with excitement just because of Userman's words.
"Okay, lunch time is here. You can take a break." Seeing that the platoon had done well in the morning, Yue Hao stood up, dusted off the dust, raised his hand and shouted to the platoon.
"No, we can finish this fortification."
"We are not tired, we are willing to work."
"If we dig this position well, maybe Miss Userman can commend us tomorrow."
With a word of praise from Userman, the entire Mexican platoon felt as if they were on fire. They were almost exhausted but refused to leave the position they were building. Their fiery passion could not be stopped at all, and Yue Hao could only ask the cook to deliver lunch to the position.
Come up.
During the meal, people from a platoon gathered around the radio. Everyone was attentive, for fear of missing any of Userman's voice. Sometimes they didn't care much about what was playing, but they just liked listening to Userman.
the sound of.
The originally five-minute meal time was extended to fifteen minutes. Yue Hao thought about letting his men take a two-hour break at noon, but when everyone was listening to the radio in high spirits, there was suddenly a whooshing sound in the sky.
.
"Artillery attack, enter the position!" Yue Hao, who was an artilleryman after all, shouted immediately when he heard the movement. He grabbed the radio at hand and jumped into the newly constructed position not far away, and the broadcast naturally stopped.
Stopped?
The platoon of more than 40 Mexican soldiers were stunned by this sudden situation. When their commander jumped into the trench and shouted "enemy attack", they all exploded!
"Damn the gangster government troops, I'm going to overthrow them."
"We are attacking at this time. I am going to fight the enemy."
"Diego's men are all gangsters, and I want to take revenge on them."
Yue Hao didn't need any mobilization. The whole platoon of soldiers shared the same hatred of the enemy. They were all red-faced and howling like crazy!
