My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 566
The sky gradually darkened, but the camp was brightly lit everywhere. Soldiers who had finished their work came out of their tents and gathered together in twos and threes.

Tonight is the cultural class once every three days. After seven o'clock, the soldiers of each company will get together to listen to the instructor's lecture and learn some basic cultural knowledge.

Because of the requirements of the new army construction, every ordinary soldier has an assessment standard, and they must be able to read and write a hundred Chinese characters to be considered qualified. It is still difficult for these old men who have not gone to school.

Compared with competing with those matts and brushes on the table, many soldiers still prefer to sweat on the training ground, because they feel that it is easier to exert physical strength than brain...

"Brothers, in the last class, I told the story of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, China had a great influence in the world, and the Silk Road was even more famous around the world...

Do you know that at that time, the Huns in the north continued to harass our Chinese people. They burned, killed and looted all kinds of crimes, which seriously affected the living space of the Han people in the north. In order to solve this threat, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing , assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to fight to the death with the Xiongnu in Mobei, today we will tell you: the story of the Battle of Mobei..."

In a simple vacant warehouse, the instructor Zhang Chunhua was writing the words of the Battle of Mobei on the blackboard, and countless soldiers below were sitting together, looking at the podium with hundreds of pairs of eyes, quietly listening to his words explain.

Before the start of each cultural class, the instructors will tell the soldiers some stories about famous people in ancient China. The purpose is to let them understand the history of their country and establish a sense of national pride. The greatness and brilliance of 5000 years cannot be concealed by the weakness of these few decades.

In this era of lack of entertainment activities, the soldiers really like to listen to the instructors talk about these humanities and history. Sometimes they can't help clapping and applauding when they hear the critical moments, and the high-pitched emotions continue.

"Look, you're really late. I knew I shouldn't have gone with you. It would take a long time to send a letter. The company commander won't take care of us later? Really..."

On the way back, Big Li babbled on and on. He was going out to send a letter with Qiu Lin, but the two of them met the gendarmerie at the gate of the camp. Go to the gendarmerie for tea.

After finishing everything with great difficulty, but it was getting late, and it was almost past the lecture time, so the two of them hurried back at a faster pace.

"Stinky boy, if the company commander asks about it later, you will say that you were caught by Yan Tou of the gendarmerie. That old boy and our company commander are not dealing with each other, do you hear..."

"Understood, Brother Li."

Although Big Li kept talking about it, Qiu Lin knew that the other party was still out of kindness, otherwise he would not have accompanied him to send the letter.

Just now, because of the wrong address, I was delayed at the post office for a long time, and it was already dark when I came out. Coincidentally, I was discovered by the patrolling military police again.

Because of the strict military control in the base, soldiers are not allowed to leave their company camps without any reason after dark. If it weren't for Da Li's eloquent words, they would probably have been dragged into the small dark room, so Qiu Lin was also full of gratitude .

There is also a reason why Qiu Lin insisted on sending letters. Although his parents died early, he met a little girl with the same fate as himself in the concentration camp.

That little girl is only 16 years old this year. In order not to be discovered by the little devil, she shaved off her hair and dressed up as a man. She didn't care about it, so she escaped the prying eyes of those beasts, otherwise, a girl of her age would have been caught in the comfort camp and become the target of the little devils to vent their animal desires.

Qiu Lin was the first to discover her secret in the concentration camp, but she didn't say anything but tried to help her cover it up. The two depended on each other like brothers and sisters. The life in the prison camp for more than a year taught them to be strong and patient. Fortunately, Tian Wujue The road of man finally escaped from that hell under the rescue of the expeditionary army.

Afterwards, they came to live in the base area with the crowd, and were assigned their own house and land after registration. However, the two of them were still young after all, and it was still difficult for them to live without any help.

Qiu Lin joined the army not only because he wanted to avenge his parents, but also because of the monthly salary of three and a half yuan and subsidies for family members who joined the army.

The expeditionary army treats soldiers very well. As long as they can enter the army, they can not only solve their food and drink problems, but also receive a lot of money and food. These subsidies can be kept by my sister to make her life better.

Due to military control, ordinary soldiers are usually not allowed to go out of the camp, so every time it is time for pay, Qiu Lin will send his military pay to Heihe Town, seven or eight kilometers away from the base, through the post office of the regiment headquarters.

Looking at the huge brightly lit warehouse in front of them, the two big men couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Fortunately, there was no one standing guard outside, so I found two stools at random. I wanted to sneak into the crowd quietly, but unexpectedly, the platoon leader who came down to inspect the door still found them.

"Li Shuanggui! Qiu Lin! Where did you two bastards go? Ah!?"

Big man Li trembled in fright at the voice, his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat, and he quickly laughed and said, "Hehe, platoon leader, what, we sent a letter to the outer district, isn't it a bit late to come back..."

"Come back a bit late...? Humph! It's so disorganized and undisciplined! Let's see which platoon sneaks up to me when it's time like you. You two stand at the door with me, and reflect on yourself!"

The platoon leader cocked his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, and he output unceremoniously. He is a well-known living Hades in the company. A typical person who can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes will usually peel off his skin if he catches him.

At this time, the instructor who was lecturing on the stage also noticed this side, and asked a few people with a loudspeaker: "What are you doing? You also want to come up and say a few words? Come on... tell me what you are doing? How? Are you back now?"

"Report to the instructor, I went to the regiment headquarters to send a letter this afternoon, because I was too late when I went out, and I was delayed for a while when I met the gendarmerie on the road. Brother Li was also late because he was waiting for me. If you want to blame, blame me." Qiu Lin hurriedly stood up and explained that he was a little sorry at first, so he simply put all the responsibility on himself.

The instructor didn't say anything, but instead looked at Big Li and asked expressionlessly, "Monk Li, I remember that you have no relatives and no reason, so why do you still send a letter?"

"Hehe, I don't want to send a letter, but I'm afraid that he will encounter trouble when he goes out alone. This kid has only been here for a few months and he doesn't know the rules. If there are multiple people, please take care of him."

Big Li replied with a grin.

Before he joined the army, he was a monk in a temple in western Yunnan. Later, after the Japanese attacked, the temple was demolished. The abbot and his brothers were all arrested and worked as coolies. He resolutely ran to become a soldier, and now he still has six ring scars on his head.

"You're still making excuses! You don't know how to come back sooner? He doesn't understand the rules and you don't understand either? You forgot the eight points of attention to the soldier's conduct? It's embarrassing to me!" In the face, he had already slapped the opponent's big head.

"Then...then what...the instructor said last time, don't give up or give up among comrades in arms, and go out together and return to the camp!"

After being scolded for a while, Big Li hurriedly stood at attention, speaking neither humble nor overbearing.

The platoon leader was obviously at a loss for words, and couldn't find words to teach him a lesson. Even Qiu Lin, who was lowering his head beside him, was moved to the ground.

"Okay, stop standing, your bald head hurts my eyes, find a place to sit down!"

The trainer pretended to be disgusted and cursed, but nodded silently in his heart. There is nothing wrong with this statement, comrades go and return together... It is really not easy to realize this.

"Hahaha…"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was amused and laughed, even the big man Li felt a little embarrassed, touched his shiny head, and quickly pulled Qiu Lin to sit next to his comrade-in-arms.
