Chapter 6: No Qualifications to Be a Cannon Fodder
Li Hao followed the old squad leader and learned about his current life experience while rushing on the road.
When he could no longer hold on during the rapid march, Li Hao also had a rough idea of his identity.
A cook in the cooking class of the second company of the 37th regiment of the 37th regiment of the 13th Red Division of the 5th Red Army. Both of his parents sacrificed their lives for the revolution. He is a completely red Army child.
Now that the Long March has just begun, the 37th Regiment, as the rear guard of the entire army, is being ordered to rush to the position to block the pursuing enemies from behind and cover the main force's crossing of the Xiangjiang River.
Li Hao had studied history and served as a conscript for two years, so he knew what the Long March meant to the Red Army.
But he didn't study the Long March. Apart from a few major events on the Long March, he didn't know anything else.
At this moment, Li Hao felt that the memories in his mind seemed to be of no use except for the killing skills he had learned as a conscript for two years.
What's more important is that those killing skills cannot be used at all because the body is too thin.
"Haozi, can't you run anymore..." The old squad leader's concern brought Li Hao back to reality.
"Hold on a little longer. Have you seen the high hilltop in front of us? Our regiment's position is there. When we get there, we will find the Second Company to return to the team!"
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.
The high mountain top mentioned by the old squad leader is at least two kilometers away from here.
His body is too thin now. Even though he has the same name as him, his physique is not even one-third of what he was before he traveled through time.
Before crossing, it would not be a problem to march thirty kilometers with a heavy load on your own.
Now, with nothing but an old muff on me, I was already out of breath after marching less than ten kilometers.
Looking at the old squad leader again, although the wound was tied up by himself, the bleeding had stopped.
But because I was constantly on the road and my body was constantly in motion, I could still see traces of blood oozing from the wound.
On his pale face, beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
However, the old squad leader still gritted his teeth and persisted, not even intending to slow down.
Li Hao felt very upset.
They have a lot of battlefield skills and killing techniques, but their thin body makes it impossible for them to use them.
Without these skills to save his life, even as a thirteen-year-old child, he would be cannon fodder even on the battlefield!
No, you are not even qualified to be cannon fodder!
If you fail to catch up with the troops and fall behind, you will either starve to death or be killed by the white dog chasing behind you to collect the reward.
After thinking of this, Li Hao could only grit his teeth and reply: "I can still move it!"
Through this kind of persistence and training, he must break through his limits and make himself stronger, and then he can use the killing skills in his mind.
Only in this way can he not be eliminated in this troubled world, can he keep up with the main force of the Red Army, and fulfill his dream of becoming a general through battle after battle.
Just when Li Hao gritted his teeth and insisted, and was almost out of breath, two soldiers suddenly rushed out of the bushes next to the road, shouting with excitement.
"Old squad leader, Haozi, you are finally back. The company commander is going crazy!"
"You're hurt!"
Seeing the rifles on the shoulders of the two men, and then seeing the old squad leader's shoulders that were stained red with blood, the two soldiers were shocked and rushed over.
Seeing Company Commander Zhang, the old squad leader quickly reported what happened on the road, including how Li Hao fired Bai Gouzi's platoon with two grenades.
After finishing, he unexpectedly added: "Company Commander, we have captured a total of two long guns. Although they are both old sleeves, they are at least 60% new!"
"Two of the sixty rounds of bullets were used, and two of the four grenades were used. Now I'm back to the company, and all these weapons and ammunition are turned in!"
"Haozi, take the rifle and the remaining 29 rounds of ammunition and hand them over to the company headquarters. This is the rule of our Red Army!"
When Li Hao was a compulsory soldier, he knew the iron rule of the Red Army of seizing and returning to the public.
After traveling through time, all I wanted to do was get a gun of my own, and I didn’t care about anything else.
Now after hearing the reminder from the old squad leader, he suddenly reacted.
He was very reluctant to give up, but he still handed over the gun and bullets.
Because I learned from the old squad leader that Li Hao before time travel was a very disciplined Red Army soldier.
If today's Li Hao even violates the discipline of seizing and returning to the public, then the contrast between them will be too great, and it will definitely make people suspicious.
Company Commander Zhang readily took the two rifles and handed them to the instructor behind him without being polite at all.
Of course, he couldn't be polite.
Before departure, nearly one-third of the company's warriors were equipped with swords and spears, but no guns.
After marching all the way, the heavy casualties caused everyone in the company to get a rifle. However, no one knew the situation of those rifles better than Company Commander Zhang.
Of the eighty rifles in the company, at least ten had their riflings smoothed out, and the bullets shot were flying and had no accuracy at all.
Although the old slide the two men brought back was not a new gun, compared with the tattered riflings, it could definitely be called a good gun. What's more, the two men also brought back fifty-eight bullets that were more valuable than gold.
.
Seeing the happy look on Captain Zhang's face, Li Hao, who was following the old squad leader, didn't feel better at all.
What's the big deal if you hand over the gun you just got after firing out one bullet?
"Haozi, the army is in too much difficulty. Leaving those two guns to the comrades in front will definitely be more useful than leaving them in our hands!" The old squad leader saw Li Hao's thoughts at a glance and explained patiently.
"I know you want a gun, but in this situation, many soldiers on the front line don't have a gun. It's definitely unrealistic for you, a cook, to carry a gun!"
"And let me tell you, our cooking squad is not short of guns. When it is our turn to go to the battlefield, we are guaranteed to have as many guns as we need!"
Li Hao had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Impossible, old squad leader, please stop coaxing me. Now that I have handed in the gun, I don't know if it will take more than a year to get another gun!"
"You really don't believe it!" The old squad leader's face suddenly became serious.
"Our cooking squad will not go to the battlefield easily. When it is our turn to go to the battlefield, the company will definitely be able to compete with the enemy!"
"When the time comes, the battlefield will be littered with weapons left behind by fallen comrades. Do you think you can have as many guns as you want?"
Having said this, the old squad leader's serious face suddenly turned sad and angry, as if he had thought of something.
"I have been the leader of the cooking class for three years, and I have encountered this kind of situation once. It was so miserable~"
"When I led people up, the trenches were full of corpses, and there were less than twenty men left in the entire company. They were fighting on the corpses of their comrades."
"The gun I was holding was a veteran's gun. The veteran had already sacrificed his life, but he still only held the rifle in his hand."
"It took a lot of effort to get him to let go, and then he continued to fight with the bloody rifle!"
"It was also strange at the time. When I took the gun, the veteran kept his eyes open and refused to close them. After we defeated Bai Gouzi, the veteran's eyes actually closed."
"He must have been watching me fight off Bai Gouzi's attack, and then he closed his eyes!"
