Birds of a feather flock together.
After the meeting, the ten new soldiers were divided. Liu Jianqiang couldn't wait to pull the strongest one to the second squad, Ma Liang took the one with the brightest eyes to the third squad, Liu Jianqiang followed and pulled away the one with a straight chest and straight eyes, and Ma Liang took the one with the neatest uniform. One by one, the ten soldiers were divided into two clearly defined squads.
Liu Jianqiang was very happy to be able to break away from the shackles of the corrupt Class 9, and secretly vowed to build Class 2 into a group that dared to fight and had a strong work style to show others; Ma Liang felt that he was a fledgling bird that was about to fly away from the warm nest of Class 9. He had even thought of the first training content for Class 3, the coordination of double three groups.
Seeing that the assignment of the second and third shifts was completed, Hu Yi said to the two new squad leaders who were full of excitement: "Okay, now that it's done, take your people and get out!"
"Ah?" They were stunned. Where should they roll
"There's no room in the house. You guys go to the recruit company tonight. We'll leave after breakfast tomorrow."
"Oh." Then I understood.
Then Hu Yi added: "Also, you have to figure out how to equip yourself with ammunition."
"Ah?" The two were stunned again. The Ninth Platoon indeed had no spare guns now, but they should at least be given some bullets and grenades, right
"Bullshit! I am a platoon leader and I am penniless now. Those ammunition belong to the Ninth Squad, not the Ninth Platoon! What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!"
After saying this, Hu Yi ignored the two stunned new squad leaders and turned back into the house, ordering, "Pack up quickly, count carefully, and take everything you can take tomorrow!"
Liu Jianqiang and Ma Liang stared at each other blankly. When the squad leader leaves, it is like water spilled. Stop talking about strong work style and double three groups. Let's go to the recruit company first.
Thanks to the battle of Xiaojiao Village, Shi Cheng's squad now has eight people, eight Type 38 rifles with bayonets, 120 bullets per person, a box gun with 40-50 bullets per person, and two grenades per person. They are truly armed to the teeth and are now the main force of the 9th platoon.
Class 9 was counting items and equipment in the house, and Class 1 was helping Class 9.
The little girl now had the big tree of Jiu Pai, and finally stopped clinging to bullets and grenades like she used to. She had improved and had grown up, so she threw out all the ammunition in her room and let Hu Yi take care of it. Then she went back to the inner room to organize her things.
The bicycle was placed in the inner room, having been cleaned by Wu Shitou. There were two shoulder bags, one containing a gas mask and the other containing a small notebook, a pencil and another broken pencil head. The slingshot was made by Uncle Niu, who never threw it away. The little girl carefully folded the flowery clothes and small flowery shoes she had gotten from Chunxiu Tower and stuffed them into the shoulder bag, which was bulging. A steel helmet was hung at the foot of the bed. Although she didn't like to wear it, she had to carry it. Finally, she took out the big-eyed pistol and checked it carefully. There were still fifteen bullets in total.
From the establishment of the 9th squad to now, they have eaten alone several times and shared private goods with the 2nd Company. Although they have replenished all the existing Type 38 rifle bullets to 120 and the Mauser bullets to 40, they still have nearly 1,000 Type 65 bullets and 600 Mauser bullets. Since the 9th squad has only used Type 79 bullets for the Czech-style, they have more Type 79 bullets. There are nearly 2,000 bullets available for the Czech-style, and several hundred are old-fashioned round-nosed bullets that cannot be used with Czech-style machine guns.
There were more than 30 grenades that were not distributed, 20 hand grenades, and more than 80 grenades for 50mm grenade launchers. All this not only stunned Shi Cheng's team, but also made Hu Yi scratch his head. He had never paid much attention to this. Every time he came back, he would throw the extra ammunition into the girl's room and leave it alone. Now he realized that the girl's room almost became an ammunition depot. Negligence, serious negligence, what if he accidentally flipped the little girl into the sky? How could she sleep
The bold will die of overeating, the timid will die of starvation, and there is gain in every victory. This is true. The ammunition reserves of the 9th squad are a bit outrageous. Once they are exposed, they will be in trouble. Hu Yi's face turned black on the spot, and he issued a gag order: Everyone, keep your mouth shut. There is not as much as you see!
This statement seemed to be addressed to everyone in the room, but it was actually directed at Class 1. Of course, everyone understood, wiping their sweat and sorting the bullets into rows.
Luo Fugui looked at the dark sky outside the window and rubbed against Hu Yi's side: "Boss Hu, I... need to go to the toilet."
I nodded, knowing that this bear wanted to take advantage of others' busyness to go out and dig out his silver mountain. I really didn't know what to say to this guy.
…
At daybreak, after breakfast, the nine rows ready to march gathered in the yard.
Hu Yi walked past the second squad with an expressionless face. Liu Jianqiang gave his Mauser pistol to one of his soldiers, and the engineer shoveled another soldier. He only kept the Type 38 rifle and the hand grenade, and the other three soldiers each had a javelin. It seemed that he had been to the militia last night and even brought cold weapons. This was not a solution.
He casually picked up a javelin from a soldier of the second squad, weighed it, and adjusted it. It was very long. If it was just a stabbing fight, this thing would be more powerful than a bayonet, but it looked a bit shabby.
Without saying anything, he handed the spear back to the soldier and came to the front of the third squad. Ma Liang gave his Type 38 rifle to one of his soldiers, and the other four soldiers each received a grenade. Ma Liang only kept his Mauser pistol. This guy made an even distribution, dividing his equipment into six parts, which seemed like he could fight well.
The new recruits all had bitter faces. They all said that the ninth squad was fat, but now they are in the ninth row. How fat are they? The second squad has a spear, and the third squad has a grenade. Isn't it embarrassing? The gap is too big. I feel ashamed of the folks who saw me off when I joined the army!
"Not bad." Hu Yi just said these two words.
Liu Jianqiang and Ma Liang also had a bitter face. Not bad? What is good? Is it the javelin or one grenade per person? This squad leader is not good at all!
Finally, he returned to the front of the entire team and ordered: "Squad One carries the sundries and tools, squad Two carries the food, squad Three helps squad Nine carry the boxes, go!"
Wu Shitou turned around and pushed the shiny bicycle out of the yard and parked it outside the gate. Hu Yi strode out first, took the bicycle from Wu Shitou and got on it, and the little girl jumped onto the rear rack.
jingle-
There was a clear sound of copper bells, followed by the clattering sound of the chain. Riding the bicycle with the little girl, facing the cool morning breeze, the bicycle flashed its light and ran briskly towards the rising sun, with Wu Shitou jogging behind.
…
He rode leisurely to the intersection outside the village on the east side and saw two people standing on the roadside, the political commissar and the guard. When they got closer, the little girl jumped off the bike, Hu Yi propped the bike on the road, trotted to the other side, stood at attention and saluted.
Ding Deyi smiled and said, "You have a luxurious car and a BMW. You are quite impressive as the ninth platoon leader."
Hu Yi smiled awkwardly.
"I'm here to see the sunrise. Now that I think about it, you guys in the ninth row do have one advantage. At least the sun rises from the east, so you can see it first."
The little girl curled her lips and said, "I wish I lived in the west so I could sleep a little longer every morning."
The political commissar laughed, then regrouped and said to Hu Yi, "We underestimated the consequences of the enemy's blockade. We must try to replenish some things. The regiment is still studying how to deal with the county. It's hard to say when it will happen. Maybe soon, maybe two or three months. But you have to prepare early. When the supplies enter the mountains, the east is closer, and the blockade is not perfect yet. So you have to prepare a plan for how to get this batch of supplies through the blockade. Although it's hard, this time you, the ninth platoon, must at least hold on until this batch of supplies comes in. Do you understand?"
Hu Yi nodded.
Seeing that the ninth platoon was approaching, the political commissar waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
The bike started riding again.
One mile away from Dabei Village, another man appeared on the road ahead, standing in the middle of the road with a big horse and a golden sword.
The little girl sitting in the back of the car tilted her head to look forward, and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, a good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way quickly, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Hu Yi rode his bicycle right in front of this man, then stopped. He used his feet to support himself on the ground and looked at the other person indifferently. He was Gao Yidao.
"Mr. Hu, you are so impressive!"
"Just say what you want to say." Hu Yi didn't have the time to listen to Gao Yidao's nonsense. He was not the kind of person who liked to watch the sunrise.
"Once you have determined the location, pass your ninth platoon's contact information to me through the regiment headquarters."
Hu Yi looked at Gao Yidao for a while and understood his idea: "I am in Hebei and you are in Henan. It is troublesome to cross the river. Why don't you go to the Third Company?"
Gao Yidao smiled, but his expression was fake: "The Third Company is not as shameless as you."
"Then do you have any shame?" Hu Yi asked back.
"That depends on whether I want to or not."
"You can get out of the way now."
"Don't fall." Gao Yidao dodged.
"Thank you for your concern." Hu Yi got on the bike and passed Gao Yidao. The little girl behind the bike made a hateful face at Gao Yidao.
Gao Yidao gave the little girl a vicious, threatening look in response, then turned around and went back to the village.
Not long after they walked, they encountered the ninth platoon, which was lined up and passed by each other along the path. They looked straight ahead and ignored the second company commander. Both the first squad and the new recruits knew that as members of the ninth platoon, they could not treat the second company commander well, not to mention that the second company commander was Gao Yidao.
Of course, Gao Yidao didn't care about that. He watched with interest as the soldiers from the ninth platoon ran by one by one. He saw a man carrying a grenade launcher passing by, and then two soldiers hurriedly ran by with ammunition boxes on their backs. Grenade launcher? What's going on? Someone from the ninth platoon actually used this? Was the firepower increased again
Just as I was wondering, another soldier came over carrying a javelin. Oh my god... that bastard even used this? But... this thing... is better than a broadsword, but it's too troublesome to carry around, right? He really doesn't mind the shabbyness!
The Ninth Platoon marched eastwards towards the rising sun, and Gao Yidao's back was about to disappear in the village. He knew that he had received Hu Yi's promise that the Second Company and the Ninth Platoon would establish an ambiguous reinforcement relationship, and that was enough.
