This was Li Lin's first time riding such a train. Before this, he had always thought that a train carriage was just a very large box.

There are comfortable sofas, separate bathrooms, and even beautiful ceramic bathtubs in the private room.

There is nothing in the train carriage, no soft sofas.

To go to the toilet, you have to go to both ends of the carriage, and you have to queue for a long time before you can enter the pigeon cage-like place.

Squatting down there, the wall is almost touching the tip of your nose.

After a little while, there will be a strong smell of Northeastern slag outside, saying hello to your ancestors.

The seat was a hard seat, and a layer of cotton padding was placed on the wooden stool, which had no cushioning effect at all. Over time, Li Lin felt that his buttocks had obviously become several strips.

Moreover, the backrest of the hard seat is made at a 90-degree angle in a very anti-human way.

For God's sake! Who the hell sits with their back straight all day long?

As for the ceramic bathtub, it was simply legendary. Li Lin felt that if he discussed this issue with the people next to him, he would be considered a mental patient.

"Commander Li, smoke!" Sitting opposite Li Lin was an old guy with big yellow teeth.

This is the company commander of Li Lin's company, and he is quite senior. It is said that he served in the army in Penglai, Shandong, when Li Lin's father had just become the governor of Shandong.

"No...!" Li Lin shook his head.

Tokugawa Chiki's family was relatively strict, and smoking was strictly prohibited. Li Lin occasionally secretly took a sip of Li Xiao's cigar!

To be honest, authentic Havana cigars and Mohe cigars are two completely different species!

Especially when Li Lin saw that when their cigarettes were lit, they would emit thick blue smoke, and even flames would appear at the moment of smoking, Li Lin made up his mind not to smoke such a deadly cigarette.

thing.

"The reason is that there is no reason for soldiers not to smoke. Even the commander-in-chief, I have seen him smoking.

But the one they smoke is a thick one, and I heard it costs fifty silver dollars each."

"When I was in school, the instructors were strict about smoking. A few smokers were forced to quit.

The instructor said that smoking too much is bad for the lungs and will make you unable to run!" Li Lin had no choice but to push the instructor.

"Hey! Hey! Student boy, you smoke too much and you can't run away. Look at me, I joined the army at the age of eighteen.

I'm almost thirty this year. I'm afraid you, a student, can't even catch up if I run five kilometers."

"Hey! Company Commander Hou, you have been in the army for fourteen or five years, why are you...!" Li Lin really didn't want to smoke, so he could only find something to say.

"My family has been poor since I was a child, and I have never been to school.

The team taught literacy, but I was really not that good at it. The teachers all said that I was so stupid that I couldn’t teach it no matter what.

Now on the team, you students are welcome. I can't be promoted like this." The old company commander took a puff of his cigarette and puffed out thick blue smoke.

Fortunately, the car window was open a crack, and the wind that came in blew the smoke away.

"You are joking, what the team lacks most is actually an officer like you who can lead troops and fight tough battles.

We all graduated from the military academy. The things we know are incomparable to yours."

Li Lin knows that these kind of veteran veterans are basically crawling out of the dead. Every one of them is completely oily!

When dealing with these people, it is best to lower your attitude.

Otherwise, it will stumble you secretly, and you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

This was all taught to him by Li Xiao. In fact, the most difficult thing to do in the army is this kind of old veteran.

However, as long as you take down one of him, you have taken down the entire company. This is another characteristic of veteran Youzi. He has a high prestige among ordinary soldiers and is definitely the kind of person who responds to everything at once.

"Young babies can talk, but don't really say it.

I can't read well, but I'm very accurate when it comes to shooting. The recruits had just picked up a gun at that time, and they hit eighty-six rings on the 100-meter target.

Master Ao was very happy when he saw it. The new recruits were dismissed from the company, and I became the squad leader.

Alas...! But this squad leader has not touched his nest for three years.

I don't dare to say anything else, whether it's capture, fighting, shooting, or bombing and assassination. I am the number one figure in the entire regiment, and even the entire division.

As long as the old monkey is mentioned, who dares not to give this...!" The old company commander proudly extended a thumbs up.

"Old company commander, tell us what battles you have fought in."

"and!

I have fought in many battles. When I was a soldier, I followed the general, fought in Jinan Prefecture, fought in the capital, and suppressed bandits.

When I was young, I dared to charge and fight...

The most dangerous time was during the Battle of Penglai. Oh, the Chen family's fortress was so well built.

The cannons at that time were not good, and the cannonballs would make a hole when they hit them. The navy was not good at that time either, and they were still wooden ships.

People are pushing for it!

Carrying a 50-pound explosive bag, we rushed up. The person in front died, and the people behind continued to climb up.

Three or four people must be dead before a pack of explosives can be delivered.

That’s it!

After a fifty kilogram explosive bag explodes, it can only blow up a small piece of cement.

You all know Master Tiger, right? He is the handsome brother. He carries explosives and charges with us little soldiers!"

"Real or false!"

"Why, you don't believe it? When we were fighting the Tartars, Mr. Ao personally went into battle carrying a knife.

It’s not like now, when all the officials are hiding in bunkers.”

"Listen to what the company commander says. The company commander doesn't care what they say."

"How can you people fight now compared to before? Look at today's cannons. If you fire a cannon, you will be blown out even if you are hiding two meters underground.

But having said that, no matter how strong your fortifications are, there is no way they can withstand artillery bombardment.

When we attacked Penglai, we relied on heavy rocket launchers to cover and shoot. The big fort took five or six heavy rocket rounds before it was killed.

In that battle, a sea of ​​people died.

It was during that battle that I was promoted to be the platoon leader. However, many brothers failed to survive until the end of the battle.

Later, they attacked the Tatars, Xi'an, Jinling, and Suzhou.

Later, our first division had no more battles to fight.

I went to the northwest twice to fight the Mongols. The Mongols were difficult to fight!

These people are really fierce. They dare to rush forward even though they are wearing leather robes.

We didn't have machine guns at that time, and the Mongolian guns were accurate. If you dared to stick your head out, you might get shot in the head.

Our first division was fine, but the third division fought hard. Mr. Hu was seriously injured. After the battle at Yingzui Mountain, one regiment was unable to form a battalion after it was withdrawn.

I have been there during the battle, and the entire mountain was plowed by cannonballs. In winter, the mountains are all yellow, but the Yingzui Mountain is black.

The entire mountaintop was charred and black, and the loose soil on the ground could sink into it up to your knees if you stepped on it.

When digging fortifications again, from time to time I could dig out an arm, a leg, or half a head.

To be able to leave a dead body is really a sign of good deeds accumulated in the previous life."

When Company Commander Hou spoke, he looked at the scenery outside the window.

When the train passed Zhangjiakou, all we saw was a piece of yellow land.

The earth looks lifeless in winter, the trees are bare and the grass is withered yellow.

Large areas of crop fields are also yellow!

It is still the old tradition that the land is cultivated for three years and rested for one year. In Liaodong, this is called abandoning the land. In Hebei, this is called abandoning the land.

"Company commander, did you have a comfortable battle?" A soldier of seventeen or eighteen years old looked at his company commander with admiration and bared his white teeth.

"There are some comfortable battles to fight! That was the latest battle against India. It was a comfortable battle.

The commander-in-chief commanded well and directly ambushed the Indian army led by Wu Sangui.

Those Gurkhas all wore turbans on their heads. They had dark faces and big eyes.

The eyes are big, and the whites of the eyes are even bigger.

Especially their Gurkha scimitars, they are so good at it.

During the war, the officer would throw his hat on the ground. Anyone who dared to move away from the hat would be stabbed directly.

We followed the commander and ambushed the Gurkhas. Hitting them with machine guns was like cutting leeks.

The most boring thing was the rocket fire, which made the sky scream. Then the enemy's position was shrouded in thick smoke. When the smoke dissipated, there were people everywhere who were blown to pieces.

I have been fighting for some time, and I have seen dead people. It’s scary!”

"Let's just pick up heads?"
