Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 25 Shadows Across the Chinese Border

Stopped for a long time.

There was a lot of commotion here.When the crowd dispersed, someone from the artillery camp in the next carriage walked over hesitantly: "Company Commander Wu..."

Qianli came back to his senses and took a look: "Battalion Commander Yang?"

"This padded coat, can you give us a few pieces for the artillery battalion..." the battalion commander Yang said with a bit of embarrassment.

"Of course!" Qianli looked at him and smiled immediately, "The cotton coat is not only from our Qilian, but also given to us by the villagers. Lei Gong, take everyone to count the quantity, and I will report it to you later. In the regiment, share among all the brothers in the car."

Lei Gong approached and said, "No problem. But there are more than a dozen battalions in the whole car, probably not enough..."

Qianli nodded: "As much as you can send. It's not easy."

"This……"

Battalion Commander Yang was even more embarrassed: "I didn't want to take advantage of the Seventh Company, but our artillery battalion didn't have cotton coats. The soldiers are all cold and can't fight at all..."

"I understand." Qianli waved his hand: "Old Yang, don't worry, we will never forget the other brothers if we have a meal in the seventh interlude!"

Battalion Commander Yang didn't speak any more.After being silent for a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped himself:
"In the past, I was the one who owed it, and it was not the one who scolded the Seventh Company! I apologize to the Seventh Company on behalf of our battalion!"

"Can't, can't!"

Qianli and Lei Gong were startled, and pulled him back, "We are all brothers, don't be so ignorant!"

"Wrong is wrong, it's what we did wrong before."

Battalion Commander Yang was pulled back, but he still saluted on the spot: "Qianli, Platoon Commander Lei, on behalf of all the soldiers—thank you, thank you Qilian!"

Several people were in awe, and also paid back.

They all felt the respect from the heart of each other.

The Seventh Company and the Artillery Battalion often cooperated in the liberation war, especially in the battle of Chenguanzhuang, the two teams fought together to attack the enemy's bunker group.However, because the seventh company killed more enemies and achieved more outstanding results, it was awarded as a combat model company by the division.

The Artillery Battalion has always criticized this. When the Ninth Corps marched northward, there was friction between the Seventh Company and the Artillery Battalion.There are often "dialogues" between the open and the dark.

But this time it was indeed sincere and sincere, and it was considered to have settled the suspicion.

There can be competition among soldiers, but there will never be hatred.

Several people sent Battalion Commander Yang away.

At this time, Mei Sheng got off the train, holding a large box of cap badges and badges, he walked over and said, "Qianli, I have collected them all."

"Do you still have emotions?"

"No. The soldiers understand very well." Mei Sheng shook his head and said.

"Then I'll go hand it in with you." Qianli nodded, then turned around and said, "Wanli, follow Lei Gong and the others to clear the padded clothes and report them to me later."

Several people agreed: "Okay!"

Qianli turned around and left with Mei Sheng.Lei Gong pointed to the cotton-padded clothes scattered on the station platform, inside the carriage, and at the door: "Let's get on the train first, and then we'll sort them out."

The cotton clothes were still a little heavy together, so Yu Congrong and Pinghe asked other people to join them. The soldiers were originally carrying boxes of supplies, but now they changed their targets and became busy again.

"Slow down, don't fall!"

Several comrades who were originally in the car saw it and ran over to help move it.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Lei Gong quickly took over, "You comrades from Beijing, just protect the radio station, that's the most important thing. We'll finish these rough jobs in a while!"

Zhang Xiaoshan, the leader, smiled and said: "We are also soldiers, and now we are also members of the Seventh Company. The matter of the radio station is another matter. We can't do these small jobs. Platoon Leader Lei, how can you care about one thing and lose the other?"

"Well... that's fine." Lei Gong laughed, "Let's all be together, but be careful. Qianli said that you are our important protection objects, so nothing can go wrong! Yu Congrong, Wanli, Give me your hand now."

The two stepped forward consciously.

Yu Congrong picked up a few cotton padded clothes and walked to the car.He asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by taking care of one thing and losing another?"

Xu Qing thought for a while: "It's just... the company commander may neglect you and lose you after taking care of me."

"Impossible!" Yu Congrong raised his eyebrows: "I am a stormtrooper, a sharp knife from the Seventh Company—is the company commander willing to throw it away?"

"Yes yes - you are the best. Isn't this a metaphor?" Seeing his confident feet, Xu Qing smiled silently.

The two got on the train with their clothes in their arms. Yu Congrong put the clothes on the Datong bunk, and turned around to see the coat on his body: "How about this military coat?"

"Good."

Xu Qing touched his clothes, remembered the one just now, and added: "It's very warm."

Yu Congrong was a little envious: "The stationmaster can't even shake his trousers pocket twice. I guess... just such a piece of clothing is worth a lot of money. I don't know where it was paid for during the war."

"You want?" He heard the overtones.

Yu Congrong asked back: "Who doesn't want it? Look at the fabric and workmanship. Hey, it's still so new after two years of wearing!"

Xu Qing rolled his eyes at him: "It's well kept by the station master. Cherish it."

exactly.

Lei Gong also came in with his clothes in his arms, and when he heard the two of them talking, he smiled and said: "That station master is indeed kind, but your clothes are indeed long enough."

"It may affect the battle a little bit, and it's quite wasteful..." He looked at Xu Qing's army coat that was almost dragging the floor, thought for a while and touched his chin and said, "I can cut it in half for you later, and the hem part will be stitched together. Fight, maybe I can do another one.”

"That's a great feeling!"

Yu Congrong slapped his hands, so happy that Northeast dialect popped out.

Xu Qing glanced at him: "You're so frightened. I haven't agreed yet? Why are you still talking about Northeast dialect? Where are you from?"

Lei Gong said, "He's from Sichuan."

"I'm from Sichuan—but can you stop calling me a baby? I'm almost thirty, my platoon leader Lei!" Yu Congrong was not very happy.

Lei Gong hehe sneered: "You still know that you are almost thirty. You are worse than Wanli all day long. You say that no one in Qilian can dance better than you, jumping around here and there, so it doesn't make people worry!"

He wanted to argue again, Lei Gong waved his hand: "Okay, move quickly!"

Translator Zhang Xiaoshan walked into the carriage, saw this scene, and shook his head with a smile.

Yu Congrong ignored him.After getting off the bus, he remembered something again, and said to Xu Qing: "Your brother just followed the stationmaster's bag of matches, did you see that?"

Just then, a train came and stopped roaring.The siren is beeping.

Xu Qing put her hand to her ear: "What?"

"Are you deaf?" Yu Congrong said loudly, "I said, your brother—that's our company commander—did you hear me! He just followed the station master with a pack of matches—"

Xu Qing smiled: "...I heard it, but he heard it too."

"Who?"

A big hand reached out.Grabbing Yu Congrong by the ear, Xu Qingguang was so hard that it hurt to look at him, and directly pulled him from the front of the car to the side of the pillar.

"You've grown up, Monkey Yu! Arranging me behind your back? Is your skin itchy again, let's practice?" Yu Congrong turned around screaming—it was Wu Qianli who spoke.

Everyone is behind.There was Mei Sheng's smiling face, Lei Gong's expression of "it's finally here", Ping He's calm mouth corners, Xu Qing's dark face showing white teeth, and the soldiers watching the excitement.

A soldier laughed and said: "Yu Congrong~ You don't often say that you are the first in the seventh company fight, hurry up and try with the company commander!"

He had a bitter face: "I didn't... I didn't... I... Forget it, I'm fucked!"

Everyone laughed.

Xu Qing shook his head, Yu Congrong is good everywhere, but he is too jubilant and noisy.At the age of almost 30, he is simply more lively than him.

Ping He came over and smiled and pulled Yu Congrong up. He was still a little unconvinced, and was about to say something...

Sudden.

Someone looked at the sky and said in doubt:
"What's that flying in the sky, a bird?"

Everyone looked up.I saw a black shadow flying over from far away in the sky, like a bird with wings, but it seemed huge.

As the black shadow approached, the soldiers finally saw clearly: Its body was not covered with feathers, but reflected steel that seemed to be one piece, and it was overwhelmingly crushing from the air, with rolling sound waves everywhere it passed. ——That was the roar of the aircraft engine, which was earth-shattering.

Some soldiers reacted immediately, screaming in horror:

"Enemy plane!"

"There are enemy planes——"
