Chapter 51 Deserters
Chapter 51: Fell
After a while, Xu Feng also came back, with two landmines hanging on his shoulders, swaying like two discus. As soon as he returned to the forest, he whispered: "Captain, the enemy has laid mines one hundred meters away from the river bank, and the density is very high!"
"Can it be ruled out?" asked Captain Chu.
"No problem to eliminate it." Xu Feng nodded and replied: "But those mines are covered with snow, and there is no guarantee that one will not explode!"
Everyone stopped talking when they heard this, because everyone knew that as long as a mine exploded, the puppet army opposite the river would be wary, and it would be even more difficult to dig a tunnel under their noses.
At this point, everyone was in trouble again. As Political Commissar Chen Ye said, not only did the original plan not be implemented, but there was also an extra mine array in front of him. In this case, if you want to cross the Linjin River in front of you, it would be like going to die.
Looking at the mines on Xu Feng's shoulder, I raised the rifle in my hand with lingering fear, and looked at Linjin River through the 2.5 times sight on the gun. It was snowy and white. Who would have thought that under this whiteness, there were hundreds of landmines that could kill people.
"Relieve mines!" After a long time, Captain Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Organize all comrades who can clear mines immediately and strive not to explode one!"
"yes!"
"Wait!" I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, put away my gun and said to Captain Chu: "Captain, I said we don't need to line up the mines, maybe it's better!"
"What?" Captain Chu was stunned by what I said.
"Captain!" I replied, "The enemy has laid out landmines. We can't leave the ground anymore. Wouldn't it be enough to go underground?"
"Go underground?"
"Yes!" I replied, "Are we going to dig a tunnel to hide soldiers? Let's pass the tunnel through the minefield and dig the other end of the tunnel to the riverside. Wouldn't the puppet army's mines become decorations?"
"Captain Cui!" Chen Ye thought for a while and soon understood, pointed at me and said, "What does it mean to be a demon with one foot taller? I'll see you today."
"I'm talking about Company Commander Cui!" Commander Chu said in dissatisfaction: "I didn't say that there was such a good way, so I've been worried about the political commissar for a long time! Next time, hurry up!"
"Ah? This..." I was so dizzy. Can I say that I want to be as fast as possible?
Commander Chu was impatient and did it as soon as he said that, but this time he replaced the soldiers from another battalion, and we ended up having a leisurely life.
As soon as the veterans returned to their company, they felt that the atmosphere was a little different. The new recruits were all sitting outside the air-raid shelter, lined up, while Zhao Yongxin pointed and pointed at them above their heads as if counting something.
"Company Commander!" When Zhao Yongxin saw me, he limped up and reported: "Why did I count it all the time? I lost two..."
"What? Are you doing a scatter?" Instructor Zhao snatched up and asked, "Have you sent someone to chase him? I said, "Did you send someone to chase him?" The deputy company commander, it's not a joke to run away at this time. Why are you so careless?"
"Report to the instructor!" Zhao Yongxin said ashamedly: "No one was sent to chase me. I was alone in taking care of these hundred new recruits. I was afraid that this one would not be able to take care of them. I chased two of them and ran away ten more..."
"The platoon leaders of each platoon count the number of people right away!" I ordered before Zhao Yongxin finished speaking.
"Yes!" The three platoon leaders responded without daring to neglect them. They immediately separated the people in their own platoon to count them.
"All one row arrives!" The old squad leader was the first to count.
"Damn it!" Hu Zi cursed at this time, "Company Commander, we have two less platoons. Is it embarrassing to see if I don't go and catch them back and peel him a layer of skin!"
"Come back!" I called Hu Zi, who was about to leave after picking up the gun, and ordered: "Old squad leader, take your platoon's veterans along the way we came, and we must chase them back!"
"Yes!" The old squad leader responded and led a few soldiers and left.
"Company Commander!" Hu Zi said with some dissatisfaction: "It's my soldier, why don't I go and find him..."
"I said Hu Zi." I replied, "If you want to find you, I really can't come back. It would be strange if you were beaten to death by you if you were not on the way!"
"Then he is a deserter..." Hu Zi said with a white face, "I, I really want to beat him! I will embarrass us!"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. When I first arrived here, I never thought of becoming a deserter. When people who have never fought wars came to this bitter and cold place, they would be frightened and afraid of starving and cold. Who would have to bear it? The new recruits may also know that they are going to fight. It is normal for them to be deserters when they are nervous.
"Captain Cui!" Instructor Zhao asked with some concern: "Do you think you can catch it back? Whether to send more people is important. If you are captured by the enemy, you will leak the news, but..."
"Don't worry, instructor!" I shook my head and said, "The recruits are also unfamiliar with the place. They don't want to fall into the hands of the enemy, so they must be walking back. They don't run fast, but if they don't say that, where can they run one foot and one footprint on this snowy day?"
"Oh! I said comrade recruits!" I sat down, picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the rifle he loved in the center of my hand, and joked to the recruits who were sitting upright: "I want to be a deserter next time, do you have to choose a good weather?"
The recruits looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one knew how to answer. At this time, a weak voice suddenly came from behind: "Yes! Company Commander!"
"Puchi!" made our Comrade Xiao Jin laugh. Many of the comrades around him blushed and endured it hard, and even the instructor couldn't help but make a sound of eating.
I almost fainted, but it was worth it. After looking at Jin Qiulian who was laughing happily, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. This little girl hadn't laughed for a long time since that tragic blocking battle.
In this battlefield, even if she was a hunter and had fought game wars for several years, she would be afraid, let alone those new recruits who had never seen the world.
"Do you want to report to your superiors?" After a while, the instructor whispered in my ear.
I shook my head silently, and when I remembered the revolutionary record punishment that Captain Chu said, I felt a little scared. I knew what revolutionary discipline is? This is not like the catchphrase that we now use as officials. Volunteer soldiers will not say this until the crisis is at the critical moment.
Although I have heard Captain Chu say it a few times, every time I say it when it is not done well, it will cause the entire team to fall into a critical moment, including this time.
If you know this to your superiors, these two deserters will probably not be able to get any benefits, and even if they don’t die, they will have to be skinned.
