The country is broken

Half of the hills were shaved to create a large piece of flat land. The camp area of ​​the Second Battalion had overfulfilled its mission. After renovations, the flat land could almost be used by a regiment. Keeping a certain distance, the Second Battalion occupying such a large area is only a little extravagant.

Nearly [-] people from the Second Battalion worked together to build three large houses on the left and right, with the main house in the middle of the battalion. The mansion of the landlord’s house is not bad. Each row of big houses is connected to a semi-enclosed corridor to the hall of the battalion department. Each row of houses has five interconnected rooms. In windy, windy and snowy weather, soldiers can also visit any room at will. The big kang built with stone slabs in the soldier's dormitory is enough for every soldier to stretch his body on the kang, and he doesn't have to squeeze cabbage like before. The kang heads are squeezed like gangsters in different ways, and the dedicated battalion and cooking rooms can also be separated for special use, and the newly built stove does not have to worry about smoky fire.

"This is life." The company commanders and instructors of each company happily touched the newly built kang.

With a new house, the soldiers became more self-reliant. They cut down trees, sawed them into pieces of wood and made them into furniture, long tables, benches, square tables and kang tables. The soldiers in the camp originally came from all walks of life, and they found a few professional soldiers to lead them and take care of all the household items in the barracks. The barracks slowly began to look like home.

The New Year’s Day in [-] was spent in a blanket of snow. Don’t look at the thick snow outside and the snowflakes flying all over the sky, but in the new house in the camp area, there was a charcoal fire and a kang covered with hay. It was warm in the sky, the six rows of large houses and the main house leaned on each other to block the cold wind, and in the kitchen, a large pot of hot soup was boiled to warm the soldiers. [

With a stable living environment, the health of the wounded in the second battalion after the anti-mopping up in autumn has been fully recovered, and the phenomenon that the battalion is full of wounded soldiers is disappearing day by day.

Heavy snow covered the entire Taihang Mountains.It has brought certain difficulties to the lives of the troops and the masses, but it also gives the people in the base areas sufficient time to recuperate and recuperate. They don't have to be completely busy with the war, and can fully devote themselves to the preparation process of production and construction. Live by yourself and work hard.

After the snow stopped, in order to absorb the influx of refugees from the south, the civil affairs department of the base area began to provide these refugees with farming land and employment opportunities, of course, the soldiers of the army were indispensable.At this moment, the military and government are not divided, and the only civil servants who can mobilize on a large scale are the armies of the districts.

By digging up the snow on the hillside and building terraced fields with gravel, the arable land for next spring will also be available, and the people fleeing from famine will also settle down in the base area with peace of mind. Although there will be temporary overcrowding, it will be able to replenish the base area due to the reduction of the war. It is also a win-win for the local population and labor force.

The construction of the new camp area of ​​the third regiment had just been completed, and the recruits transferred by the superior just arrived. After a meeting of several battalion commanders who almost huddled together, the battalions of the third regiment, which had been seriously downsized, were replenished with new blood in time.

The grass-roots cadres at the company and platoon levels have already completed the running-in.The establishment that was emptied during the war in early November was restored again.Li Wei finally became a full-staffed squad leader, and two new soldiers from the recruit company joined the squad according to the distribution plan in the battalion.

According to the old rules, new fighters will always get the warmest welcome when they report.In the future, he will be a dead brother who can be entrusted with his back on the battlefield.

The veterans of each company set up a welcome formation. There were no loud gongs and drums, no colorful flags fluttering, only a square formation neatly arranged according to the organizational system. Straight as a javelin, the queue faintly exudes a battle-tested murderous aura.

The veterans of the Second Battalion welcomed the new comrades-in-arms who were about to join them in a mighty posture.

The recruits of the Second Battalion lined up in four rows on the camp ground, with excitement and anticipation on their faces, mixed with a bit of shyness.It's like a new daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws for the first time. Although she stands still, her eyes are constantly looking at the veterans, wondering which veterans she will become comrades in the same squad.

After the platoon leader and instructor of the recruit battalion finished the roll call of the recruits, he handed over the roster of the recruits to Commander Wu, raised his hand and saluted, and said, "Commander Wu, I will leave them to you." So far, the handover work Very neatly done.

"Thanks for your hard work!" Battalion Commander Wu didn't know how many times he had received new fighters, and the names of many fighters were always deleted from the battalion roster after many battles.Included in the death list kept in the division headquarters, but the second battalion is like a barracks made of iron, with flowing soldiers, and new soldiers are constantly replenished to fill the active roster of the second battalion, fighting the enemy to the end one after another.

Every time he looked at the unfamiliar faces in the second battalion, Battalion Commander Wu would always think of the familiar faces of the veterans who had died.

"Old Zong, start the assignment now!" Battalion Commander Wu handed the roster in his hand to Zong Zhouyu, the new instructor.

Zong Zhouyu and the other two soldiers held the recruit roster and the active-duty roster of the Second Battalion. One ticked off the name reported by the religious instructor on the recruit roster, and the other filled the reported name into the active-duty roster of the Second Battalion. Inside.

Before coming to the Second Battalion, the recruits had heard that after being selected, they would be assigned to the Second Battalion of the Third Independent Regiment of the 115th Division of the First Division. The instructors said that the actual casualty rate of the main battle elite troops who often take on combat missions is much lower than that of ordinary troops. The veterans in the killing field know how to protect themselves and their comrades better, they are more cooperative, and the combat efficiency is stronger. As long as the training place puts in a little more sweat, unless they encounter a desperate battle or are unlucky on the battlefield. The chances of surviving are still relatively high.

"Ruan Ye!"

"Here!" The one whose name was called stood out of the queue of recruits.

"Report to the second company, third platoon, and third shift!" Zong Zhouyu, who was in charge of political work, immediately organized the work in the battalion in an orderly manner after he was appointed as the battalion instructor. [

The veterans of the second company, the third platoon, and the third squad immediately stood up and took the recruit Ruan Ye to the barracks.

"Hao Yun!"

"Here!" Another recruit stood up.

"Report to the battalion security guard!" The religious instructor scanned the names on the roster.

"Yes!" The recruit was pulled into the line by the leader of the guard platoon.

It's really good luck as the name suggests, directly into the battalion department!The recruits cast envious glances at this good luck, but the veterans looked calm and calm. Don't look at the guard platoon guarding the battalion headquarters, but the battalion-level units are also on the line of fire. Facing the enemy's forces, the focus is on taking care of them. Eyes, you have to copy guys like other combat companies.

"Guo Wei! Sun Yuzhi! Report to Yilian, row by row!"

Guo Wei was standing in the team watching the other comrades assigned to them one by one, waiting anxiously in his heart. When he heard the religious instructor calling him, he pulled Sun Yuzhi who was still standing in the front row, and the two of them Stepped out of the queue and shouted "Report!"

When Guo Wei saw the four soldiers who stood up to meet him from the veteran team on the opposite side, his face was stunned, and his heart that had been looking forward to being assigned to a squad of strong soldiers immediately cooled down.

The three veterans among them are okay to say, all of them look strong and strong, but the other soldier is not right, he is thin-skinned and tender-fleshed, maybe he is the young master of a capitalist, he came through the back door to mix his qualifications, let's look at the other veterans. With a black and rough appearance, the one in front of him stands out from the crowd.

"Hello! I'm Li Wei, the monitor of Class [-]!" The first impression in his heart was that the soldier who had knocked on the young capitalist reached out to him, and Guo Wei hesitated.

class?Monitor? !Your own squad leader?Guo Wei was a little dumbfounded. Could this young soldier in front of him be the squad leader? !Look at where he is standing, the other three soldiers are standing behind him, could it be the thugs brought by this young master from home.

"Squad? Hello, squad leader!" Guo Wei, who usually thought he could speak well, suddenly stuttered, stretched out his hand a little clumsily, and said, "My name is Guo Wei."

"Hello, squad leader! My name is Sun Yuzhi!" Sun Yuzhi, who looked a bit naive, didn't think too much, and saluted and shook hands honestly.

"Welcome new comrades to join the squad with the strongest combat effectiveness in our Second Battalion." Li Wei didn't mention Duole in his heart at this time, this time is the fully staffed squad, and he is the leader of the first squad.

"Let's go to the barracks!" Zhuang Dongrong and Ding Hong, two veterans, grabbed the luggage of the two recruits and walked towards the barracks.

What is the strongest class?Blow it!Guo Wei was a little frustrated. He would have been assigned to a strong squad, but he didn't expect to be assigned to a capitalist young master. It was really unlucky.At this time, a strong hand rested on Guo Wei's shoulder and led him towards the barracks. Guo Wei saw that it was the so-called squad leader Li Wei. Mutter.

Li Wei's eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts flashed in his eyes, with a smile on his face, and at the same time he pulled Sun Yuzhi to the barracks together.

The barracks of the first squad kept the soldiers' dormitory simple and tidy, with four long benches, a long table, and a small table on the kang. The whole body was still freshly planed and clear wood grain.

In the barracks, the two recruits were arranged with luggage and weapons and a place to sleep, so Li Wei pulled them to chat.

A few people, you and I, broke up the conversation with seven or eight sentences, and quickly let go of the strange feeling. In the eyes of the two new soldiers, this young master-like squad leader has no airs of a young master at all, but is very talkative. Looking at the appearance of thin skin and tender flesh, but like the other three veterans, they all have a battle-hardened military flavor, which is really a very contradictory combination.
