I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 594 Don’t think I’m young and can’t fight

Li Wujie's righteous and impassioned tone instantly drew even louder laughter from the surrounding border veterans.

This laughter was not a mockery, but a laughter of relief from the heart. Soldiers from the mainland are soldiers from the mainland, no matter whether you have the rank of captain or lieutenant on your shoulders.

In the eyes of many veteran border guards, this is a greenhorn.

But the words "At worst, we'll see you at the Martyrs' Cemetery" touched the hearts of the veterans.

Immediately, a fourth-term veteran from the regiment came over and walked up to Li Wujie with a smile. He patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, Xiaowu. I will protect you even if anything happens."

"They are just a bunch of roving bandits. They are easy to catch."

The cheerful atmosphere here attracted many veterans, who squatted on the ground with bowls in their hands, smiling and watching with interest.

Li Wujie seemed to be embarrassed by being stared at. He shook off the old soldier's hand that was patting his shoulder and muttered, "What I said is true."

"If you can beat them, kill two more. If you can't, the worst that can happen is that you will die. What's the point of being afraid?"

"I'm not afraid anyway."

"Yo yo yo"

A group of veterans around started to make a fuss again, mainly because this kid's temperament was too similar to that of most of them when they first arrived at the border. It was as if they were cast in the same mold.

I am not afraid of anything, only with my passion in my heart I dare to change the sun and the moon to create a new world.

Chen Jun looked at the situation and smiled without saying anything, but he could not hide the worry in his eyes.

Returning to block the Si River is no small matter. During the day, the company commander, the instructor, all the platoon leaders and even the veterans in the company acted very calmly, as if nothing had happened.

In fact, secretly, many veterans folded their brand new military uniforms in white cloth and wrapped them, and put their suicide notes into the white cloth bag, and quietly put the cloth bag into the innermost part of their backpacks.

This is the final dignity after all the soldiers are ready to sacrifice.

Among them were Chen Jun and Wang Jianxing, as well as Li Wujie who was slowly enlightened by Chen Jun, all of them were prepared for this.

There is no such thing as luck in border defense.

If the enemy retreats from the other side of the Si River and decides to attack, it will be very difficult to resist it head-on with just one reinforced company.

This is a fact.

But if the enemy wants to march straight in as if into an empty land, riding the mule and horse road with guns in hand and entering the territory, forget it, unless they step on the corpses of all the soldiers.

This is also true.

Long-term living and fighting on the snowy border, difficult living conditions, harsh natural environment, backward medical equipment, landslides, mudslides, avalanches, car accidents, sudden high-altitude diseases and accidents, etc., are all killer demons on the plateau.

So, how many of the veterans who decided to put on military uniforms and settled down on the border for a long time had not thought that this day would come?

Don’t be fooled by the cadres or veterans of the border defense company. Many of them are quite sloppy, just like Lin Mu, who wears suede shoes that are almost faded.

In fact, if you dig deeper into these people, you will find that they have done many heroic deeds.

Without mentioning the distant past, let’s just talk about the deputy company commander Zhao Qinghai, who joined the army from Sichuan. He was nicknamed Little Cannon. Although he was small in stature, he was very strong and had an indomitable and iron character.

He was good at fighting and management, and he was promoted from platoon leader to deputy company commander step by step, all thanks to his extraordinary leadership and spirit of hard work.

He usually does things in a hurry and noisily, and can't stand being polite at all.

According to the regiment's log, when Zhao Qinghai first joined the army, like many other soldiers, he was assigned to the border as a private.

During a stability maintenance mission, in order not to give the enemy a chance to breathe, he, as the deputy squad leader at the time, led the few remaining soldiers in the squad to track and pursue the enemy at the junction of Ang*, Xie*men and La* counties at an average altitude of 4300 meters.

He threw all the difficulties and dangers behind his mind, forgot to eat and sleep, marched on foot for three days and two nights, led his men to make a roundabout way, and finally caught up with the bandit leader and some of his followers who were fleeing on horseback.

Exhausted, he dismounted and surrendered.

Afterwards, the whole class was awarded the first-class collective merit and Zhao Haiqing was awarded the second-class individual merit. At the celebration banquet, someone asked you why you were walking when you were short of water and food, knowing that the enemy had water, food and horses.

Why do you keep chasing after them? Aren’t you afraid that the enemy will eventually run away?
Zhao Haiqing's response was simple. He said that Ma had an advantage in the short term, but in an area with such a strong mass base, it might not be an advantage if he was pursued relentlessly.

In the past, our predecessors dared to race with the enemy on four wheels and destroy the enemy in the same way. Who today can imagine this?
In comparison, his pursuit of horses with men was nothing to mention.

Chen Jun had seen this person's information at the regiment headquarters before, but he was the type that he had heard of but had never met in person.

This time, I finally met him.

However, a hero may not necessarily have a heroic image. He can usually be more serious. When eating, he will even pull up his small cotton trousers on his legs.

His face was livid and he was addicted to smoking. The other party still maintained the most basic respect for the new regiment commander Chen Jun and did not dare to come over to ask for cigarettes. However, he almost snatched a box of cigarettes from the chief of staff.

There are many similar veterans facing today's situation.

Although it is difficult, who would be really afraid?

Chen Jun observed the veterans who gathered to join in the fun, and felt a sense of calmness in his heart. He drank up the soup in the bowl and just put the porcelain bowl on the stone table.

Outside the air-raid shelter, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then a soldier, wrapped in cold air, rushed into the place where everyone was resting.

Before he could speak.

The old soldiers, who were squatting on the ground drinking vegetable soup with a relaxed look on their faces, all put down their bowls, stood up, and pulled the guns on their backs in front of them.

Company commander Gao Kui quickly pushed through the crowd and walked to the front. He stared at the sentry and asked, "What's going on?"

"Yes, Captain. The retreating group has started to advance towards the * River. The number of the enemy has increased a bit."

"okay, I get it."

Gao Kui waved his hand, signaling the sentry to leave, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

After adjusting his thoughts, he raised his hand and saluted Chen Jun: "Captain."

"Okay, arrange your combat mission."

Chen Jun stood up and didn't intend to say more. He was not a green hand, nor was he only capable of leading a large army in battle. He was not afraid of this kind of face-to-face tug-of-war.

Gao Kui knew that he could not persuade the commander, so he simply turned to the soldiers who were gathering around him.

The voice was resounding: "Comrades, I believe you have all seen what happened today."

"This group of Hui people have harassed our border more than once, and have done bad things behind our backs more than once. Today, they gathered a large number of armed forces and wanted to ride on the mule and horse road and enter our territory with guns."

"Comrades, what do you say we should do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

The roars, one louder than the other, were the oaths of the entire company of soldiers as they clenched their guns.

Gao Kui nodded slightly, his eyes red as he said, "I will order one squad from the first platoon to stay behind to take care of the villagers here and cover their retreat if necessary."

"Sixth Platoon, your mission is to protect the regiment commander and the chief of staff. If anything happens to the commander, I will kill you."

"Everyone else, follow me to the front line."

Click click click.
There were countless sounds of closing the safety, pulling the bolt and loading the bullets.

Dense groups of soldiers rushed out from the entrance and exit of the air-raid shelter.

There were no touching words or speeches, no crying before departure, only figures walking into the extremely cold night without hesitation.

Chen Jun stood there silently, watching the soldiers go to the front line. In the end, including the company instructor, he had a string of grenades hanging around his waist, held a gun, and saluted Chen Jun.

Follow the warriors and leave.

But never underestimate political cadres like instructors, especially on the border. Normally, company commanders occasionally need to go down the mountain or go to the regiment headquarters to attend meetings and coordinate supplies.

The entire company's military and political affairs depend on the instructor, who must have some expertise in this area.

Looking at the air-raid shelter that was bustling just now, most people had left in an instant, leaving only the regiment headquarters and six rows of soldiers arranged by the company commander gathered in front.

Chen Jun took a deep breath and looked at the sixth platoon leader: "Give me the gun."

"Captain!!!"

The Sixth Platoon Leader and Wang Jianxing stepped forward at the same time and spoke hastily. In this situation, the regiment commander could not go to the front line no matter what. Even if the returnees were useless, their numbers were there.

The enemy's weapons are no joke. Even a child with a sharp knife can hurt people, let alone this group of vagrants.

Large numbers of casualties are inevitable. Who dares to take such a risk?
"From now on, there is no regiment leader here. If we want to talk about the regiment leader, we have to wait until the war is over."

Chen Jun snatched the Type 191 assault rifle from the sixth platoon leader's hand, took out the magazine and checked the bullets, then took out two spare magazines from the bullet bag on Li Wujie's shoulder.

It's too cold here at the border, so everyone wears coats. The bullet belts are usually not placed around the waist, but are carried in bags across the shoulders, otherwise it would be very inconvenient.

"Xiao Wu, go take care of Lin Mu. If the situation seems to be wrong, remember to take him with you and move with the fellow villagers."

"You've watched war movies since you were a kid, right?"

"Transferring the wounded is also a very important task."

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he grabbed his spear and left the air-raid shelter.

The soldiers from the regiment headquarters behind him gritted their teeth and stopped trying to stop them. They had been following the regiment commander on the border for two months and knew very well whether they could stop them or not.

One by one, they patted Li Wujie on the shoulder, clutched their guns and followed the leader's steps and left.

The Sixth Platoon Leader had no choice but to take the rifle from Li Wujie and unload his bullet bag as he dared not disobey the orders of the damn regiment commander.

He was told that if he saw something was wrong, he should immediately cover the villagers in evacuating the air-raid shelter, and then lead the soldiers of the sixth platoon to leave.

The air-raid shelter, which was bustling just now, was soon empty. Li Wujie stuck his head out, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I may be young, but I can fight."

"Captain, I can't listen to you this time."

Li Wujie roared, turned around and rushed towards where the company's remaining squad was, because the remaining supplies including ammunition were protected by this squad.

He also wants to kill the enemy.

In fact, Li Wujie was still young and didn’t understand at all.

Chen Jun didn't let him go because he was afraid that something might happen to him, which was inevitable out of love for him, but there was another reason. He had never experienced the tempering of actual combat, and he had to face this kind of tug-of-war with the enemy outnumbering him.

It is easy to become extremely nervous in that kind of environment, unable to distinguish friend from foe and causing accidents.

New recruits going to the battlefield need to be taught by veterans step by step, but in this situation, who can teach him?
. . . . . . . .

At night, facing the biting cold wind, teams of soldiers from the border defense company rushed to the defense line.

The wind was blowing hard, and the bright moonlight was shining on the snow-capped mountains in the distance and on the surrounding snow. Even though it was already night, the scenery was still beautiful.

The towering snow-capped mountains and the gurgling * River form a natural beauty that is so beautiful that it takes your breath away.

Unfortunately, there are always a group of unsightly things that ruin this beautiful scenery.

On the other side of the Si River, Huishun began to move. This time the opponent's speed was not slow, and it didn't even look like a test.

A large crowd of people stepped onto the bridge and headed towards the mule and horse road.

After Gao Kui and his men arrived, they didn't need a telescope at all. They could see the unusual movements on the opposite side with their naked eyes alone.

"Pass on my orders. Hit him up close and hit him hard this time."

"We must not let them cross the line of defense."

"Yes!!!"

In this situation, there was no strategy at all for both sides, one attacking and the other defending. Other places were blocked by snow, and only this mule and horse road could be used for entry and defense.

It is obvious that both sides intend to fight to the death here.

By the time Chen Jun and his men arrived here, the fleeing people on the opposite side were less than 200 meters away from the mule and horse road.

"Captain?"

Gao Kui and instructor Bian Wentong looked at Chen Jun with conflicted expressions, and then glared fiercely at the sixth platoon leader.

Chen Jun waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Alright, stop talking nonsense, notify the soldiers on both wings to prepare flares."

"Our men put on goggles in advance, wait for the enemy to get on the mule and horse trail, let them in fifty meters, then fire flares, and hit them hard."

"This group of people have impure intentions, so let's teach them a lesson."

"Yes!!"

As soon as Chen Jun gave the order, a signalman bent over and started running to deliver the message.

It seemed that he could no longer be persuaded.

Gao Kui and Bian Wentong looked at each other and had to communicate with their eye contact, warning the Sixth Platoon Leader to protect the regiment commander's safety at all costs.

It’s okay if the border guards are wiped out, but the commander must not get into trouble, otherwise it would show their incompetence.

Chen Jun didn't care about their nonsense. It's not like he hasn't fought tougher battles than this one. He has legs on his body. If he can't defeat the enemy head-on, can't he restrain the enemy from the side?

As long as the opponent is not a well-equipped and well-trained regular army, things will not go wrong so easily.

After finding a suitable position for blocking, Chen Jun arranged the soldiers from the regiment headquarters and the soldiers who followed, and instructed them to fire with all their might when they saw the flares being launched into the air.

He also lay in a snow hole, observing the movements on the mule and horse road through the night vision goggles.

Fighting people close together was an order given by our ancestors in the past to save ammunition. In fact, if people were to fight close together, the casualties on both sides might increase significantly.

But no way.

The situation here is the same. On the one hand, there is not enough ammunition storage, and on the other hand, it is also to hurt them and scare them.

Repelling this wave of attacks left the returning elements with no chance to fight back.

The weakness is also obvious. If we repel it this time, the next wave of enemies will know the specific firepower points and will focus on suppressing them while fighting and advancing.

The battle situation will become more stalemate, and it depends on how capable the returning troops here are in fighting.

Having never encountered this before, Chen Jun was really unsure about it.

Through the night vision goggles, Chen Jun looked at the dense crowd and stepped onto the mule and horse road stealthily.

The crowd was getting closer and closer, now within effective rifle range.

Chen Jun didn't look for anyone, but just stared at the silly grandson who was riding a horse during the day. He didn't know what this guy was thinking.

Entering the country so openly and on horseback, aren't you just a sitting duck?

That's not the way to act cool.

But the guy on horseback was not that stupid. He knew to hide behind the crowd. Chen Jun adjusted the focus of the 191 in his hand, clenched the gun and waited for the opportunity.

In fact, in terms of weapon configuration, the border defense forces are quite advanced. This 191 was originally scheduled to be unveiled at the military parade, and is expected to be equipped in the combined brigade in the second half of 21.

But before that, some border defense units had already used 191 to replace the previous Type 03 assault rifle.

The crowd was getting closer and closer, and Chen Jun also set his sights on the target person.

dong dong dong
A white-haired flare was suddenly fired high into the sky.

The 191 rifle-mounted grenade is an exclusive riot control equipment. Although it is not equipped with high- and low-pressure fragmentation grenades, it can launch flares, pain ball bombs, dye bombs, or tear gas bombs, which is quite useful.

In an instant, the area around the mule and horse road was illuminated by flares and became as bright as day. The retreating elements who rushed in rashly had no time to react.

His eyes were stung with severe pain and he kept screaming and screaming.

But at this time, who would still pity these invading guys, with flames spewing from both sides of the fire line.

Massacre and war unfolded simultaneously.
