Looking at the smoke rising from the explosion of the artillery shell in the distance, Zhou Wen looked at Xu Dacheng with a strange expression, feeling shocked and inexplicable: "There is really a kind of person in this world called genius, and there is really a kind of ability called talent."
A shot hit the target. Yes, you read that right, it hit the target.
The first day of contact with artillery, the first artillery operation, the first artillery shell.
Xu Dacheng was a little confused by Zhou Wen's eyes: "What's wrong? Ah Wen, I got hit." He didn't know how evil his performance was, and thought it was a normal phenomenon.
"Look behind you." Zhou Wen pointed behind him.
Xu Dacheng turned around and saw that Wang Huzi and others' jaws dropped to the ground, staring at him with cross-eyed eyes. Those young men were relatively calm. Ignorant people are fearless.
The whole place was silent.
"Try one more shot." Zhou Wen said.
Don't think it's a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse, right? Pointing to a large stone by the river about five hundred meters away, he said: "Did you see that stone by the river? Just hit it there."
It was the same operation again, the same explosion again. After the smoke passed, the big rock disappeared.
Okay, here comes another one flying in the sky.
"Okay!" Wang Huzi and others came to their senses and cheered.
"Okay!" The teenagers cheered uniformly, beginning to change from ignorance to knowledge.
Zhou Wen lost his composure, rushed over and picked up Xu Dacheng, shouting loudly: "God of Guns! God of Guns!"
Then everyone shouted to Xu Dacheng: "Cannon God! Cannon God!" "Brother Dacheng! Brother Dacheng!"
Xu Dacheng watched everyone, including Zhou Wen, look at him with admiration and enthusiasm, and the teenagers shouted loudly and ran towards him.
My mind immediately became confused: "Is this showing off? Being admired? I'm not ready yet. This is too sudden. I'm so embarrassed. It feels a bit weird."
After being lifted up by everyone, they shouted and threw it into the sky, caught it, and threw it again. The body floated up, and the heart also floated up. The mind finally returned to normal. In a moment, ecstasy, excitement, roaring, and a strong sense of satisfaction
Wait, it spurts out from your chest, from your heart, from head to toe, and from every pore in your body.
"Ahahaha! Brother has become a god too! I'm so satisfied! It's so special! Ahahaha!"
The ghost's cry went straight into the sky, so frightened that everyone's hands shook and they almost didn't catch it.
Zhou Wen pulled Xu Dacheng, who was still nostrils flaring with excitement, and walked to the front of the team and said loudly: "I announce two things. First, Xu Dacheng will be the leader of the artillery team of the guard company starting today. There are six artillery team members.
, selected by him personally.
The second is that three days later there will be a company-wide competition in three subjects: shooting, fighting, and tactical movements. After the competition, they will be reorganized, and those who perform best in the competition will serve as team leaders and deputy team leaders in the future. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the whole company replied in unison.
"Next..." Zhou Wen said and paused. Next to him, Wang Huzi stood up with his chest raised and his belly ready to step forward to lecture.
"Disband!"
Wang Huzi choked and stretched his neck. What do you mean by this? Am I no longer the regiment commander? Are these still not my soldiers?
Zhou Wen walked up to Wang Huzi and explained: "Captain, you are in a hurry. Time is tight. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I could repair the gun? I have to race against time, otherwise you won't believe anything I say in the future, right?"
Wang Huzi opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, so here he is. Yesterday I didn't say I didn't believe you, I just asked a question, and no one asked me. Can I still live like this?
Wang Huzi poked Yahuazi again.
Zhou Wen gave Xu Dacheng a few words, and then asked Ergazi to take a few people with him to the warehouse.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Hong Xiu smiling and looking at him with his little hands behind his back. Zhou Wen said happily: "Hong Xiu, brother, I see you are here."
"Brother, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, guess what I'm holding in my hand?" Hong Xiu said with expectant eyes.
Zhou Wen was confused. Guess what? A flower? A candy? Each answer was rejected by Hong Xiu, who smiled and shook his head.
At this time, Ergazi, who was following, stood to the side and saw what Hong Xiu was holding, and blurted out: "It's a notebook, little scholar, it's a small notebook."
Xiao Hongxiu's expression immediately changed, her big eyes blinked and filled with tears, and she shouted to Ergazi: "You saw it, you cheated, you are a liar, you are a bad guy, woo woo woo!"
The game I originally planned to play with my big brother was ruined by this big bad guy. I'm so sad.
Zhou Wen was furious and yelled at Ergazi: "You idiot, you know nothing. Get out of here and go to the warehouse to move things. Are you there the rest of you standing there stupidly waiting for me to beat you up?"
Ergazi didn't expect that he would flatter Ma on the leg, so the brothers went to the warehouse in a nonchalant manner.
Zhou Wen quickly pulled Hong Xiu, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and said: "If Hong Xiu doesn't cry, he has already been scolded by me. He is a big bad guy. From now on, you can call him Big Bad Brother. If you don't cry, he won't be beautiful if you cry again."
." The little girl gradually stopped crying while leaning on Zhou Wen's shoulder.
Suddenly he raised his face and looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Brother, do you think I'm pretty now?" Zhou Wen almost squatted and sat on the ground. This kind of thinking changed, no matter how young she is, she is still a woman. When she hears that I'm not pretty, she will immediately
Be wary. But this trick works.
"Beautiful, do you think our red sleeves can't be beautiful? We must be beautiful at all times." This guy is too unprincipled, you said, crying with tears all over your face, and blowing out a snot bubble while talking.
Can a little girl be called beautiful?
Hongxiu smiled broadly, took out the small book in her hand and handed it to Zhou Wen and said, "Brother, these are the words I wrote."
"Wow! Hongxiu is really good at being able to write so many words. When my brother was your age, he couldn't even recognize a few words."
"My eldest brother couldn't read when he was a child. What did he do?"
"Let's have fun, let's fight. Brother is very good at fighting. If anyone offends Hongxiu in the future, brother will go up and beat him up."
"So, that big bad guy just now?" Well, the feelings went around and around, and then came back. So children love to hold grudges, especially little girls.
"Who is that? Ergazi, come out."
Ergazi and the others were carrying things while listening to the conversation outside. They were filled with admiration: "The little scholar is really capable of everything. His level of flattery is as high as that of Gao Laozhuang."
Suddenly, he heard Zhou Wen's call, and Ergazi pulled his head out.
After the laughter was over, all the broken guns were taken out and put away. Zhou Wen led Hongxiu and walked forward to observe carefully. Then he picked them up one by one and began to dismantle them.
Hongxiu didn't bother, just quietly and obediently watching Zhou Wen's operations.
The dismantled parts were sorted and put together by Ergazi and the others. Among these damaged guns, the most common ones were old slides and those made in Hanyang. There were actually a few British 77s.
After careful inspection, Zhou Wen felt happy. After taking it apart and repairing it, he could probably assemble a usable one. He knew that he needed to find a blacksmith to make a few small tools.
Thinking of drawing a picture, I took Hongxiu to her house and borrowed pen and paper from Mr. Zhou, and asked Ergazi to lead the way to the blacksmith in the village. Hongxiu also wanted to follow, and after obtaining Mr. Zhou's consent, they went together.
Dawangzhuang is a large village with hundreds of households, so there are blacksmiths and carpenters. When we arrived at the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith was in his forties and his surname was Wang. After listening to Zhou Wen draw a picture and explain it, he said he could do it, and after agreeing on the price, he asked him to pick it up tomorrow.
After everyone came out, Zhou Wen looked at Hongxiu's thin body, and with a move in his heart, he took them back to the regiment headquarters. Hongxiu held Zhou Wen's hand tightly along the way and did not leave even a step.
Zhou Wen went to Wang Huzi and said: "Captain, I roughly estimated today that I can repair about 20 pieces. For the other missing parts, if blacksmith Wang is good at his craftsmanship, he can get another 40 pieces."
"What? Well, that's good!" Wang Huzi thought to himself: "What a risk! I almost made another mistake."
But I was really happy in my heart. This was the surprise that Lao Wu said. He said loudly: "Don't worry, go get it. If you need anything, just ask. Don't go back today. Let's have a few sips. Haha."
"Thank you, captain. Forget it about drinking. There is still a lot of mess in the warehouse. I will accompany the captain another day. I just have a request for instructions."
Zhou Wen pulled Hongxiu and said: "This Hongxiu is Mr. Zhou's child. I like it very much and want to have a sister. I want to ask the group leader for permission to send half a catty of meat to their family every three days. Of course, if the group leader is in trouble, I will
You can also pay."
"No embarrassment, no embarrassment. Isn't this a trivial matter?".
Zhou Wen led Hongxiu to Old Uncle Wu, received a large piece of pork and returned to the warehouse.
When he arrived at the door of Hong Xiu's house and explained his purpose of coming, Mr. Zhou rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "How embarrassing is that? No, thank you, little brother."
"Mr. Zhou, my name is Zhou Wen. As you have seen in the past few days, Hongxiu and I are very close to each other, and we just want to recognize this girl. We don't need to be pretentious, just recognize her in our hearts.
I'm afraid Hongxiu's body needs nutrition. Don't be polite, it's all for Hongxiu, no matter what else you do."
There are soft and hard words to say, and they cannot be rejected. There is a saying: when a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain his reasoning clearly.
Mr. Zhou's eyes turned red: "Hey! It's all because of my incompetence as a father. This child has suffered so much. Come in and sit down, come in and sit down." As he spoke, he made way for the room, then turned around and shouted: "Xiu Qin, Xiu Qin, Xiu Qin.
Celery."
Zhou Wen entered the house and saw a beautiful young woman in her thirties walking out of the back room. Her face was as radiant as snow, her eyes were like water, and her large peasant woman's clothes could not hide her plump body. She smiled slightly and nodded to Zhou Wen:
"Xiu'er has caused trouble for you."
"She is indeed beautiful. No wonder she was attracted by that Shi Santan." Zhou Wen thought to himself, but said a few polite words.
She turned to look at Mr. Zhou and said: "Mr. Zhou, Sister-in-law Xiuqin. Now I can still speak in this group. No matter what difficulties you have in the future, just speak up. Since I have accepted Hongxiu as my sister, I will help in any way I can."
."
This is a bit confusing. You recognize your sister and call someone else's mother sister-in-law. Forget it, let's do our own thing. This aunt can't talk about it. Zhou Wen helps himself find a way out.
Zhou Wen continued: "But, if it is convenient, I would also like to know your specific situation. Mr. Zhou is a well-educated man, and his sister-in-law is also from an extraordinary background. How come you work as an accountant in the supplementary group?"
