In the afternoon, the sun was scorching. Children were playing in the water on the other side of the river. The wine station on this side of the river was silent. The soldiers of the ninth platoon without a platoon leader were either taking a nap or playing chess in the cool air.
Liu Jianqiang has been a bit irritated these days. Hu Yi has been gone for a while, and the 9th row has become more and more lazy. Now the crops in Qingshan Village don't need the 9th row to take care of them, so everyone is completely staying at the wine station for the summer vacation. Liu Jianqiang is so bored that he wants to find something to do, but unfortunately he is only the second squad leader. Apart from the few people under his command, he can't take care of the others. Besides, even if he wants to find something to do, he needs permission from his superiors, otherwise what can he say if something goes wrong
So Liu Jianqiang took the initiative to find Ma Liang and talked about his views. Unexpectedly, Ma Liang felt bored and empty in his heart. The two of them got along well and discussed for a long time. Finally, they came up with a solution that no one would be held responsible, and they recommended Xiao Hongying to act as the ninth platoon leader again.
The purpose of letting the girl be the platoon leader this time is different from the last time. Last time it was to make the nine platoons work together, but this time it is to let everyone do what they like. Using the girl as a scapegoat is a good idea. If Hu Yi comes back, he can just push the blame on the girl. No matter what trouble happens, will he be willing to blame the girl
Then Liu Jianqiang and Ma Liang called Shi Cheng, dragged Luo Fugui out of the bunker, and forced a meeting. The two votes passed, Shi Cheng abstained, and Luo Fugui's one vote against was invalid. The girl temporarily took over as the ninth platoon leader for the second time. Luo Fugui was so angry that he cursed her shameless, because he liked to be idle and wished he could fart.
In order to prevent the little girl from monopolizing power like she did last time, Ma Liang and Liu Jianqiang explained the situation to her and appealed to her emotions, emphasizing that she was elected this time to be the person in charge, not to respond to emergencies.
The little girl laughed at this. After being together for so long, who would not know who is who? Even at a young age, she could see clearly that Ma Liang and Runny Nose were not going to stay still anymore and wanted to show off their skills!
She agreed, and sympathetically promised to just take charge of the matter this time and not to carry out reforms.
Liu Jianqiang immediately proposed to take the second squad out to investigate the situation of the Japanese artillery tower, and the girl nodded and agreed.
Ma Liang then proposed to lead the third squad eastward into the mountains for training, and the girl nodded in agreement.
When Shi Cheng saw this situation, he quickly asked the girl, saying that he wanted to take a team to carry the homemade cannon out and fire a few shots to test the effect. The girl thought that since Zhao Jieba was here, the Japanese knew this place very well, so they might as well fire.
Luo Fugui was very dissatisfied with the days under the supervision of the platoon leader, and deliberately asked him if he could go back to sleep. The girl said that he could go to sleep without worrying about it, as long as he didn't miss dinner.
All four squad leaders have achieved their dreams, so why did Yatou do this? The reason is two words: habit. It is not that Yatou has this habit, but she wants the soldiers of the ninth platoon to get used to her being the platoon leader unconsciously. Once, twice, maybe the next time when Fox is not around, they will habitually regard her as the only candidate for platoon leader, and habit will become natural.
The last time she was a platoon leader, she felt the power. Although she didn't make any achievements, it felt good. So this time, she didn't mind even though she knew Ma Liang and Runny Nose were plotting something. They just wanted to use me as a shield. I'll be yours. As long as the whole platoon knows that I, Xiao Hongying, will be the acting platoon leader for the second time, hehe, you guys are happy, but I'm popular! How many years have you, Ma Liang and Runny Nose, been soldiers? Are you plotting against me? You weren't even here when I was in the team!
Several people from the second squad set off, fully armed. Although they were only going to the Shankou artillery tower to scout the situation, Liu Jianqiang couldn't help but feel excited. The feeling of being able to see the enemy was different from training under the sun. Regardless of whether it was towards Lushuipu or Luoye Village, they had to take a good walk around the two artillery towers. If they were in a good mood, they might shoot you a few times from a distance. Listen carefully to the sound of the machine gun.
Ma Liang and the third squad disappeared afterwards, saying that they were out for training, but in fact he wanted to find a path in the mountains that could bypass the blockade of the artillery tower, so he asked the soldiers to bring enough ropes for climbing or descending the cliff. If a route could be found, it would not only be good for the ninth platoon, but also for the independent regiment. I had this idea recently, but unfortunately Hu Yi had not returned. Now that I have promoted the girl to be the platoon leader, I can finally set off with a clear conscience.
She was wearing a sleeveless white short coat with horizontal buttons, revealing two thin arms that were tanned by the sun, barefoot, with her trouser legs rolled up to her knees. She walked out of the door with two pigtails crooked, holding a small broken wooden shovel, and called to Wu Shitou: "Fool, let's go to the river to play with the artillery tower. This time we don't have a cannon!"
Wu Shitou excitedly picked up a large wooden shovel nearby, which made Xiao Hongying raise her eyebrows. "You are not allowed to use such a big shovel. How can I beat you? Ah? You big idiot, can you let me win for once? You are not allowed to use any tools this time. Just build the turret with your hands!"
When he got to the river, he waded into the cool water without thinking twice, kicking his little feet and splashing the water. He felt refreshed for a while and was about to go to the beach to dig sand, but he saw a group of soldiers on duty running over.
"Girl, someone is coming!"
The little girl standing in knee-deep water frowned at the soldier who came over: "Is this how you report? Huh? Say it again!"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on and laughed, "Report to the platoon leader, some people have arrived. They said they were sent by Captain Wang and are standing opposite the open area."
Hey, Wang Peng is quite straightforward. He brought them here so quickly. The little girl walked out of the river and said, "Bring them here so I can see them."
The people in the ninth platoon didn't know that the little girl had borrowed someone from Captain Wang in private, so the soldier grinned and didn't move, thinking, "Platoon Leader Hongying, aren't you being too arrogant? Now that you are the platoon leader, shouldn't you welcome the guests?"
"What are you doing? Go quickly!"
…
Chen Chong, 19 years old, had just joined the army. Yesterday, he was suddenly promoted to squad leader by the company commander and was asked to be in charge of a squad of nine pure recruits. He was excited about this, but the company commander asked the whole squad to unload their weapons, hand over their ammunition, and even take off their uniforms. Instead, he asked them to wear the tattered clothes that they had picked up and could hardly wear anymore. He told them a location in the south and ordered them to temporarily be under the command of the 9th Platoon of the Independent Regiment and set off empty-handed.
This squad leader had nothing when he first took office. It took him a long time to understand that although it was called supporting friendly forces, it was actually the same as giving it to someone else's family. Not to mention guns and ammunition, even the company commander was reluctant to give away his old military uniform as a dowry. He gave each person a set of clothes that even the poor didn't want. It was a journey of nearly a day, and they were only given a full meal before departure. They were not allowed to take any food for the road, and were told to try to avoid detours and get to the ninth platoon as soon as possible to solve the problem.
There were ten people in the squad, including the squad leader Chen Chong, and they were all dumbfounded. Before they left, the company commander said to them sadly, "Alas - don't blame me, we are really poor. When you get over there, you must not lose face for our regiment, you must not forget our old team, and you are not allowed to defect to the Ninth Platoon! Ah, well, this... I will transfer you back when the time is right, but you are not allowed to come back in such a shabby state. You should make up for what you deserve and take what you deserve. Do you understand?"
Chen Chong was speechless. She was stripped of everything and married into her husband's family. In the future, she would have to take all her belongings back to her parents' home. It was really amazing that the company commander could think of this! What kind of thing was this
Seeing a soldier running across the open space, Chen Chong waved with a smile and led a group of beggars forward.
When we got to the other side, we found a bunker in the dense vegetation. A Czech-style gun was tilted, and someone in the bunker complained in a muffled voice: "Damn it, you can't even sleep peacefully. I said stuttering, can't you speak a little more quietly?"
"Then I saw someone coming, and I pulled, pulled, and pulled the bolt twice."
"Pull more gently next time!"
"Oh, okay."
The soldier led the way, past the bunker and out of the woods, and saw an open space with a big tree in the middle and a few houses around it. Not far behind, turning left, a riverside beach came into view, dazzling in the sun.
A little girl with two pigtails, barefoot and with her arms hanging to keep cool, was playing with a soldier in the sand.
Chen Chong quickly ordered his men to line up, then saluted the Eighth Route Army soldier who was piling up sand, and shouted, "X regiment, x battalion, x company, x squad, report in."
The other person straightened up like a potato, staring blankly at her without saying a word. Chen Chong felt a chill in her heart, and felt that this platoon leader seemed... to have a questionable IQ. Working under him... there was no guarantee that she would not have the chance to return to her parents' home in the future!
At this time, the little girl asked crisply: "Did Wang Peng ask you to come?"
Chen Chong was stunned for a moment. This little girl actually called the company commander by his name
"I'm asking you a question!"
I felt a little dizzy and couldn't think straight, but I still answered her: "Yes."
The little girl pouted, her braids drooping down. She looked at the ten beggars standing in a row and couldn't help but ask, "What, what is this? You guys...do you usually dress like this?"
Chen Chong blushed. How could she answer this? Did she mean that the company commander had stripped her of everything before she set out? How embarrassing! She had to lie: "There's nothing we can do. The conditions there are too harsh, and we got into a lot of trouble on the way here, so..."
The little girl walked around the ten beggars and stopped in front of Chen Chong again. She looked up at Chen Chong's uncomfortable expression and suddenly smiled: "You didn't even have food along the way?"
"… "
"This is too stingy! You're helping him to cover up the problem. Look at how torn your clothes are. They might fall off if you run a few steps. Is it so hard? I'm so worried!"
Chen Chong was so embarrassed by what she said that she couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, who are you..."
Her small eyebrows raised, her beautiful eyes became serious: "Ninth Platoon Leader, Hongying!"
At this moment, one could almost hear a crackling sound, and the jaws of the ten beggars all fell onto the beach, breaking into pieces, giving one a nauseating chill...
