Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 683, Border Patrol

"what?"

With a scream, Wei Zhiyuan was kicked in the chest by the horse.

"It's bad! Deputy Instructor Wei is injured."

Someone suddenly shouted.

Then the scene started to get lively.

He Mingyuan's face changed when he saw this: "Yang Xiaole, hold the horse."

Then he walked towards Wei Zhiyuan with an ugly look.

At this time, Wei Zhiyuan's face had turned ashen and he fell into a coma.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole calmed Heiyun down and pulled him away.

After tying it up, he came over.

At this time, the hygienist was checking there.

After a while, he said hurriedly: "The ribs may be broken. We must rush to the regiment hospital."

Seeing this, He Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Hurry, get the transport team to deliver it quickly."

Hearing this, someone came over and carried Wei Zhiyuan away.

Only after everyone left did the place become a little quieter.

"Okay, divide your horses and practice on your own."

Following He Mingyuan's words, the others went back to their own business.

Lao He sighed for a while, looked at Yang Xiaole and said, "This horse is too dangerous. What if we encounter an emergency and something like this happens?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole touched Black Cloud and said, "Black Cloud is actually very obedient. It is the horse king and must have its own pride. We cannot force it. Unless we kill it."

He is worthy of being called the Horse King!

Those two kicks just now were really strong.

Four ribs were broken directly, but fortunately no internal organs were pierced. If handled properly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Lao He looked at the tall horse and said helplessly: "Okay, you take care of it yourself. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

"Don't worry, as long as no one messes with it, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Yang Xiaole agreed.

But he still put away his smile.

Something just happened to the deputy instructor. It's not appropriate to laugh now. You should be sad.

Yes, you can’t laugh.

Lao He shook his head helplessly and walked aside.

Instructor Jia also left.

After the others left, Xu Jinbu was puzzled for a moment: "Why is Heiyun so irritable? I have led him before, but he just wouldn't let me ride him."

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "How would I know? Maybe you two are familiar with each other."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Gang and the others.

Zhao Gang and his group were happily playing with their new horses. Riding a horse and driving a car are things that men like.

"Zhao Gang!"

"Hey, squad leader!"

"Come on, call the people in our class and let me teach you how to ride horses!"

"okay!"

Zhao Gang agreed, and then told his classmates to lead the horses away.

There are quite a few people taking their horses out!

Bringing Zhao Gang and his party to the training ground.

I started teaching these people how to assemble saddles, and took apart and reassembled some of the saddles that were not assembled correctly, especially the horse bits.

Next comes horse training.

Most of these horses are untamed, free-range and still somewhat wild.

It used to be very dangerous to lasso horses.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaole secretly sprinkled some well water on everyone present, which turned the most difficult horse training step into the simplest one.

"Zhao Gang, grab some black beans and give it to it. Once it gets used to you, you can go up again."

Yang Xiaole was explaining everything there.

Zhao Gang naturally followed the instructions there, after all, they had no experience at all.

I fed the horse some black beans mixed with well water, and then got it mounted smoothly.

"Hey, I'm coming up, I'm coming up."

After Zhao Gang went up, he felt very happy.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, just ride for a few laps. Don't rush to run fast. Get used to it first."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang began to try to move forward gently.

"drive!"

I tried, but the horse wouldn't move.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Use your legs to gently pinch the horse's belly. Don't use too much force. Loosen the reins and don't pull them too tight. How can you move forward if you pull them too tight? This is for when you need to stop."

Following his instructions, Zhao Gang tried it and actually walked.

The rest is much easier, and all depends on trial and error and forming habits with the horse.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole went to teach the rest of the people.

With previous experience, I have learned a lot from other things.

It also went much more smoothly.

There were only five people left in the class, so naturally we got the hang of it quickly.

Not far away, the people from Class 2 were training there and were envious when they saw this scene.

"Oh! This horse is so good, it runs so fast!"

After Zhao Gang got familiar with it, he ran to Class 2 to show off.

This made his old rival Wang Kai's face turn pale.

While the other party was not losing his temper, he proudly rode away on his horse.

"Hey, squad leader, why is my horse's belly so big? Is it a female?"

Someone in the second row asked curiously and squatted on the ground watching.

"Oh, it's really a female!"

Then he said in surprise.

Someone over there said with a smile: "You are so lucky! You can get a share of the pregnant horses."

Yang Xiaole took a look and smiled.

The horse was indeed a female and was pregnant.

Horses usually conceive in June and give birth in April or May of the following year, so the birth will take two or three months.

Most of these horses are males, and a few are females.

This is also for the purpose of reproduction, and it is impossible for a herd of horses to be composed entirely of male horses.

The afternoon training helped people quickly adapt to the horses, but it still takes some time to learn to live on horses for a long time.

Knowing how to ride a horse is not a big deal; you also have to learn how to fight on horseback.

Due to limited bullets, Zhang Xuesong and his colleagues had basically not received any training before.

The afternoon training ended quickly.

In the evening, Yang Xiaole taught the three major regulations to the class.

After finishing studying, it’s time to simply relax.

"Hey, did you hear? Deputy Instructor Wei had an accident on the road."

Zhao Gang came back from fetching water and spoke mysteriously to the people in the class.

Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows and looked at it curiously.

Zhang Xuesong was puzzled: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Everyone came over curiously.

Zhao Gang looked outside and said softly, "I heard that Deputy Instructor Wei was riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Halfway through the journey, the horse got startled and the carriage flipped over. It seems that the person was seriously injured."

"Ah? What happened? Is he okay?"

Xu Jinbu was also there asking curiously.

As a newly arrived educated youth, he naturally didn't like this deputy instructor who loved to tell tales.

But I don't want anything serious to happen.

Zhao Gang shook his head: "The details are not very early in the morning, I just heard it from the people in the transportation team."

Yang Xiaole was thinking there.

It is better for people not to die.

He didn't care, the main thing was that once Wei Zhiyong died, both He Mingyuan and Jia Minghui would be in big trouble.

This injury will probably cause some trouble.

But it's just an injury, not a big problem.

He ignored the matter and looked at Xu Jinbu and his group, smiling, "Big Head, do 100 push-ups first. And you, Liu Bing, Pan Hao, the two of you do 100 sit-ups, and the rest of you do burpees. Let's see if you've been lazy in the past few months."

Xu Jinbu smiled and said, "Squad leader, you are going to compete, but we haven't stopped training on the grassland!" Since the squad leader has spoken, we have to do it.

The group began to eat in the house.

As the squad leader, Yang Xiaole naturally would not stop and would follow behind.

Overall it's pretty good.

When we go to bed at night, the guns are left in the room. According to regulations, we are not allowed to take off anything except shoes, coats and hats.

Just sleep like this.

The next few days were boring again.

Physical training in the morning, and start training with the horses in the afternoon.

After a few days passed, news about Wei Zhiyong came. He had been sent to the provincial hospital for treatment, and it seemed that his illness was serious.

Yang Xiaole and his group were quiet for a while.

……

"Yang Xiaole!"

"To!"

Yang Xiaole was leading people in training when Meng Zhiyuan walked over.

Meng Zhiyuan came over and said to him, "The soldiers on the riverside need to be replaced. This time you take your class there for half a year. If there is no special reason, you will be replaced after half a year.

The company also took into consideration that our class had never performed a rotation mission, and there are now six people in our class who are quite skilled in riding horses. "

Yang Xiaole calculated the time and it was indeed time to change defense.

Moreover, Meng Zhiyuan had mentioned this matter before. During the study session these past few nights, Meng Zhiyuan also came to tell them about the precautions for patrolling.

Then he asked, "When will it be over?"

During this period, Meng Zhiyuan also came to hold several meetings with them, mainly focusing on the precautions to take during border patrols.

and handling of emergency situations.

And now, in order to reduce friction, the number of people living on the riverside has decreased a lot.

But as we headed inland, the people here became more nervous, always on guard against any action from the people over there.

"You go there tomorrow morning and let the people there take you to familiarize yourself with the situation. I'll tell you the location later! We'll have a meeting in the evening, and you can come with me to count the supplies you need to bring."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaole agreed.

After everyone left, Zhao Gang and his men came over and asked, "Squad leader, is it our turn to change guard?"

Yang Xiaole hummed.

Looking at the excited people, he said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Be honest when you get there. Check the equipment in the afternoon!"

Things have not been peaceful in the past two years.

There were no big wars, but there were a lot of small frictions!

Hearing this, everyone felt mixed emotions.

As a soldier, going into battle and killing the enemy is something that is surely on his mind.

But it is impossible to say that I am not worried.

In the afternoon, we did not train the horses anymore, but instead tidied up the house, checked the guns and ammunition, and also replenished some.

Now because it is winter, the transport team will transport the hay there.

And a batch of supplies will be delivered every half a month.

……

The next morning.

It was past five o'clock, before dawn, and Meng Zhiyuan was already blowing the emergency assembly whistle at the door.

People from the second shift were also called up to help with the work.

Yang Xiaole led the class to make sure that everything was ready, and then took the things to the stable.

At this time, the transport squad leader Zhao Qiang was already waiting there.

"Squad Leader Zhao!"

When he saw Zhao Qiang, he greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "Everything is ready. It's enough for you horses to eat for a week. I'll send some more tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Why are you being so polite? Everything is ready. Your horses have been fed. You can go now!"

"Okay, you lead the way, let's go horseback riding."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he called out to everyone and went to the stable to find his horse.

After everything was done, he came to Meng Zhiyuan.

At this time, Duan Fei, the communicator who also worked as a company clerk, also came over.

This time he will follow.

"Platoon leader, Comrade Meng Fei, we are ready to go."

Meng Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay, I have explained everything that needs to be explained. When you go there, you must strictly abide by the border defense regulations and be calm when handling things."

"understand!"

Meng Zhiyuan looked at Duan Fei and said, "Comrade Duan Fei, I won't follow you. You lead them there!"

Duan Fei agreed: "Okay, got it!"

After everything was settled, everyone got on the carriage. Duan Fei was the company's communicator, so he could ride a horse and had his own horse.

After waiting for the company commander and instructor to come over and exchanging greetings, we rushed to the border post under the cover of night.

……

When the group arrived at the place, the sky was already bright.

This is a wooden house near the river, with a shed next to it. The space inside is not small, but there is only one horse.

It is also used in emergencies.

When the two groups met, the venue became lively.

"Captain Yang, this is Captain Lin from the 6th squad of the 1rd platoon, and this is Captain Yang Xiaole from the st squad of the educated youth platoon. They are here to take over the shift."

Duan Fei came over and introduced himself.

"Hello, Squad Leader Yang!"

"Hello, Squad Leader Lin!"

The two saluted each other and shook hands.

Yang Xiaole shook the other person's hand and said with a smile: "Team Leader Lin, thank you for your hard work. From now on, we will take care of this place."

Squad Leader Lin was also polite and smiled: "Come on, I'll take you to get familiar with it first."

Then he led a group of people into the house.

This is a cellar, half of it is dug out of the ground, and the other half is a wooden roof.

A small underground cellar next to it is used to store supplies.

The cooking place is inside the house, which has a row of earthen kangs and a chimney leading to the outside.

Very crude.

A watchtower was built outside near the river, and someone is required to watch there every day to deal with emergencies.

Squad Leader Lin and his men looked around, then came over with a notebook: "This is our patrol day. We need to record the patrol situation every day. You should know this!"

Yang Xiaole took the item, looked at it, and nodded: "Yes, I know! I told you before I came here."

"That's good. I'll leave it to you. I'll take you to our patrol area later. Get familiar with the area. Our patrol area is 16 kilometers upstream and downstream, which is 8 kilometers each way. There are two fishing squads set up by the Chengchan Company in the middle of the river. There's nothing else. ..."

Squad Leader Lin was introducing them there.

Talking about the daily patrol situation.

Patrols are required during the day and at night.

Yang Xiaole nodded. Meng Zhiyuan had already told him about these situations when they occurred.

After explaining everything, you will become familiar with the place.

Originally, patrols were conducted on foot.

But now we have horses, so we don’t need legs to run.

Yang Xiaole selected Zhang Xuesong and Zhao Gang, and the three of them accompanied Squad Leader Lin on horseback to determine the patrol range.

I also got to know two people from the fishing class.

After all, I will be patrolling in the future and I need to get to know some people.

There is a squad of female soldiers and a squad of male soldiers, one upstream and one downstream.

These people don't carry guns.

It is also to avoid conflicts.

After strolling around, it was already late. Squad Leader Lin led his men, followed Duan Fei and the transport squad to leave the camp.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole gathered everyone together.

"Okay, let's have a meeting first. From today on, we will be staying here for half a year. Let's make arrangements for our future duties today."

Then arrangements were made.

The eleven of them will stay here for half a year until their shifts are changed.

PS: Sorry, this was yesterday. I will write another chapter tonight, but it will be a bit late. I will write this chapter faster, and it’s time to speed up.
