blood of vietnam war

Chapter 37

I didn't know until the next day that Chen Yiyi wasn't the only recruit joining our class.

No... Before I woke up early in the morning, a few young men stood in front of me and shouted: "Report!"

The air was dull, and there was a strange smell in it. I opened my eyes and looked at the three soldiers in front of me suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Come... come to report!" One of the tall men excitedly explained: "Reporting squad leader, my name is Shen Guoxin. We are all new here, and the platoon leader asked us to join the second squad!"

I sat up straight and looked at Scar who was more than ten meters away. Scar was busy distributing recruits at this time, so he just nodded at me, so I knew it was true.

"Report to the squad leader!" Another little man said, "My name is Xu Guochun. From now on, we will be born in the second class and die as the ghosts of the second class..."

"Stop, stop..." I interrupted them, stood up impatiently, patted my butt, looked at them and asked, "Have you ever been in the army?"

"Being!" Several recruits replied in unison.

"Ever?" I have some doubts about this answer, because I know very well that if you have been a soldier and fought in a war, it is impossible to be so excited when you go to the battlefield.This is almost the performance of a recruit...

"Squad leader, we really have been soldiers!" Seeing that I didn't believe it, Shen Guoxin said a little aggrieved: "We are still in the same army, and we are both veterans for one year..."

Seeing that what he said didn't look like a lie, I was even more puzzled, because I found that some of them didn't even hold their guns in the right way...

In other words, those who use guns often and those who don’t often use guns can basically feel it just by looking at them.It's like a smoker's posture of holding a cigarette is very natural, and the movement of smoking is also integrated, while a new smoker has similar posture and movement, but they always feel a little different.

And the soldiers in front of me looked like high school students who were secretly learning how to smoke.

"Squad leader!" Seeing that I was still satisfied, Xu Guochun explained: "If you don't believe it... If you don't believe it, you can ask our company commander. Our company commander has also come. He has been assigned to the seventh company to be the platoon leader!"

As soon as I heard it, my heart sank even more... The company commander was assigned to the seventh company to be the platoon leader?What's happening here?

"Report to the squad leader!" At this time, a solid-armed recruit stood up and said, "Although we have been soldiers for a year, we spend most of our time in urban construction and production. Let's be recruits!"

Oh, I understand now.I remember the old man once told me about this. This era is a period of mass production. Most soldiers spend more time working in the fields than training, and hold hoes more often than guns.When it's time for the military competition, it's enough to draw a good-quality company and train quickly for a month...

In other words, even those who have never been on the battlefield and have never fought a war, they can all be called recruits... Sometimes it is even more difficult to recruit veterans?Because they have no skills, but because they are veterans, they still have a temper.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, I didn't expect this matter to spread to me.

"What's your name?" I casually asked the burly soldier. It seemed that he was the only one who could see what was going on in my heart just now, and he seemed to be a careful person.

"Report to monitor! My name is Li Zuolong!" The answer was sonorous and forceful, neither humble nor overbearing.

I have to admit, this is my first time as a class president, so I don't know what to do, teach or say to them as a class president.

After thinking about it, he nodded to them and said, "Go down first! If there is anything you don't understand... learn from other comrades!"

"Yes!" A few soldiers stood up to me, saluted a standard military salute, and went down.

"What? Are you not satisfied?" Scar came to my side at some point and handed me a cigarette.

I shook my head and said nothing. What can I say on this battlefield if I am satisfied? If I really want to say I am not satisfied... Can this annoying jungle be satisfied?Enemies satisfy you?Everywhere is full of murderous opportunities to satisfy you?

Scar lit a cigarette for me, exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "After several battles, our troops have been severely reduced. In order to restore our combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the superiors gave us two days to rest and replenished us with some veterans. ..."

I only have helplessness in my heart, veteran?Restore combat effectiveness?

Why do I feel that the addition of these veterans will reduce the combat effectiveness of our army? Facts have also proved that my worries are justified. They cause us more trouble on the battlefield...

"Okay!" After smoking a cigarette, Scar threw the butt of the cigarette away and said, "Look carefully, weren't you also a recruit a few days ago? Go and do ideological work for them, so that they can adapt as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help being taken aback... Damn it, when did I consider myself a veteran, and I took it for granted as a veteran who can fight, you know... I came to this era It's only been a few days since I've been on this battlefield!

Sullenly, he walked back to the soldiers, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say, but those recruits came to show their hospitality first.

"Squad leader!" That Xu Guochun knew at a glance that he was a greasy-tongued person. He approached him knowingly and passed a cigarette and said, "Squad leader, don't worry... Although we haven't used guns or fought wars, everyone They are not cowards, and will not hold back comrades!"

"Yes! Squad leader!" Shen Guoxin also came up and waved his fists and said: "We have all discussed it, this time we come up to win glory for the motherland, and strive to be a hero to go home and honor our ancestors!"

"Hero?" I shook my head and smiled wryly. The soldiers who fought with me also smiled wryly. No one who really fought a war wanted to be a hero.

However, Li Zuolong just squatted there silently, only glanced at the sniper rifle on my back from time to time.

At this time, I couldn't help but look at Li Zuolong differently. As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite people. Although this statement is not pleasant to say, it is quite applicable on the battlefield.

Isn't it?Those who talk about being a hero and not a coward don't understand a little bit. Those who go to the battlefield don't have the time to think so much. At that time, there is only one thing they think about, and that is to save their lives!

On the contrary, it was the silent one who seemed to realize the danger...

I don't care about them, in fact I don't know how to do ideological work for them... I didn't learn the high-profile things of this era from the old man.

He casually nodded his head. Originally, there were twelve people in my class. Five of them were sacrificed in several battles and seven were left. Now there are four people joining, including Chen Yiyi, so my class plus me happened to be There are ten of them.

Looking at other troops, the number of supplementary personnel is mainly based on the reduction ratio.Although the replenishment of soldiers is not too many, but sweeping the entire company like this... there are a lot of new faces in an instant.

If it is in other places, the addition of many new faces may not be a big deal.But on this battlefield, if there are more faces, it will be frightening!

First of all, this shock came from the generous knowledge of the number of comrades who died.They are supplementing our troops, aren't they?That is to say... as many of these strange faces as there are, we have sacrificed as much as possible, and they seem to be here to replace those sacrificed comrades-in-arms.

More importantly... the ones who are most uncomfortable with this change are our original team.On the battlefield, what we most need to see are familiar faces, and what we are most worried about is that these familiar faces will leave in a hurry.Whether it is a comrade-in-arms around or the head of the army, as long as we hear of any accident, it will immediately make our hearts tremble.

For us soldiers, seeing these new faces suddenly, and being unable to call them or their names for a while, always feels a little awkward.In front of them, it is always unclear whether I am new here or they are new here.On the battlefield, if you want to order someone, you will always stop for a few seconds when you see a new face but you can’t be named, and maybe these few seconds may bring fatal disaster to the troops...

This feeling is a bit inexplicable, as if all the people in our original squad have merged with me, and I can use them freely like my arms and feet, but the newly added fighters seem to have installed a very strong body for me. Unaccustomed prosthetics.

who cares!I sat down on a rock and cleaned my guns. Anyway, I am not the only squad to replenish soldiers, and so can others who can accept me.

The first thing I need to remember is their names, that Li Zuolong, Shen Guoxin, Xu Guo...

"That... what's your name?"

"Report to monitor!" Xu Guochun bounced off the ground like a spring, and responded, "Xu Guochun!"

"Oh!" I casually threw the kettle on his feet: "Go get me a kettle of water!"

"Yes!" Xu Guochun carried the water bottle happily and left, as if he felt that being named by me was different.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that I named him precisely because I didn't remember his name clearly...

"Squad leader, squad leader..." Within a few minutes, Xu Guochun ran back with a pale face and lost his mind, panting and shouting: "Squad leader, something is wrong! There is a situation..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing other soldiers picking up their guns one after another, I hurriedly stopped them.

"Then...in the water..." Xu Guochun said out of breath, "there is a broken leg in the water..."

"Hi..." The soldiers hissed.Only those recruits turned pale when they heard this.

In other words, the superiors seemed to know that the recruits were coming, so they made some preparations last night, and carried away or buried the wounded and corpses in time, but it was inevitable that a few fingers or stumps and arms would be lost. Small parts scare them.

At this time, Dao Scar pulled a few soldiers to me, pointed at me and said: "Look, this is the second squad leader. A few days ago, he was also a soldier who had never fought in battle. Now he has made great achievements. The subordinates should not talk about the lives of dozens of devils! I became the supervisor in a few days..."

Depend on!I couldn't help cursing in my heart: How come I sound so familiar when I say this, isn't that what Scar said to me the day I first joined the army?
