Reborn in 1977

With an order, the team, arranged by class, formed a long snake formation and quickly walked out of the courtyard gate.

Chen Fan followed Yang Xingxiu at the very end. Just as he was wondering where the mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns that Captain Xiao had mentioned were, he saw several mule carts outside the courtyard gate.

One cart carried an anti-aircraft machine gun, another carried five mortars, followed by a supply cart filled with vegetables and rice, a spare ammunition cart, and an empty cart.

Without a doubt, this empty cart was definitely prepared for the wounded.

He couldn't help but feel a little scalp-tingling. Did they have to go so far?

A squad of soldiers was responsible for driving the mule carts behind. The team marched mightily from the road beside the village onto the river embankment.

At this time, a thick layer of ice and snow lay undisturbed on the river embankment, but the militiamen marched forward, stepping on the snowdrifts as if they couldn't see them.

The mule carts followed behind, their ruts sinking into the ice and snow. Their speed was even slower than walking.

Just as Chen Fan was observing from behind, Yang Xingxiu slowed down and walked alongside him, saying, "Give me your gun, I'll teach you how to shoot."

For the next stretch of the road, Chen Fan followed her, learning how to load bullets, how to turn the safety on and off, and how to aim and fire.

And then it was over.

Chen Fan looked at her in surprise, "That's it?"

Yang Xingxiu laughed heroically, "Don't underestimate these few actions. Even a sharpshooter starts with these actions. Moreover, this only teaches you how to use the gun. If you want to improve your marksmanship, you have to shoot more bullets and feed it with bullets."

Chen Fan naturally understood this principle. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. There were plenty of these principles in later novels and TV dramas.

Moreover, in addition to being familiar with the gun, one must also understand the surrounding environmental conditions, such as wind direction, air temperature, and humidity, all of which will affect shooting accuracy.

However, he only had a slight understanding of these things. He didn't know how to measure wind direction, temperature, or humidity.

At this time, Xiao Liewen, who was walking in front, suddenly said, "Xingxiu, teach him to fire a few shots. What's the use of learning without practice?"

Yang Xingxiu shouted with a smile, "Yes."

Then she taught Chen Fan how to really shoot.

This made Chen Fan extremely happy.

From here to the training destination, Chen Fan held the Type 56 rifle and kept aiming at the sky, specifically looking for birds to shoot at.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hit a single one.

Xiao Liewen put his left hand behind his back and held a pipe in his right hand, chuckling, "If you can hit something like this, I'll be impressed."

Chen Fan said loudly, "But you can't shoot around randomly, what if you accidentally injure someone?"

Xiao Liewen nodded, "That's true, then you can continue shooting birds."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed across the sky, and then something fell straight down, like a cannonball, landing on the slope of the embankment facing the river in front of the team.

Everyone was startled and automatically stopped, cocking their rifles in preparation.

Xiao Liewen looked at the black shadow circling in the sky and then at the thing that had fallen in front, waving his hand, "Someone go and see what that is."

In his heart, he was drumming. It was really ghostly. Eagles can drop bombs too?

Or was it accidentally hit by Chen小子's bullet?

The person at the very front of the team rushed over immediately. After a while, he picked up something from the snow and shouted loudly, "It's a rabbit!"

Rabbit?

A rabbit fell from the sky?

When that person brought the rabbit over and handed it to Xiao Liewen, Xiao Liewen was dumbfounded holding the rabbit.

What's going on?

Chen Fan looked at the rabbit in his hand. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. It was being held upside down by Xiao Liewen, and its ears couldn't move anymore.

He raised his head again to look at the black shadow circling overhead, faintly hearing a "chirp chirp" sound, and a strange thought suddenly arose in his heart.

Then he walked to Xiao Liewen's side and said in a low voice, "Team… Instructor, please ask everyone to put their guns away for a moment, I seem to recognize this bird."

Xiao Liewen looked at him and then at the bird in the sky, even more confused, "You recognize it? Is it yours?"

Chen Fan was about to speak when Zhang Wenliang walked over and said, "Could it be that silly bird you saved the day before yesterday?"

As soon as these words came out, several people around immediately began to discuss it.

Everyone near the brigade headquarters knew that Chen Fan had saved a bird the day before yesterday. Zhang Wenliang had even helped publicize it, knowing that he had saved it to learn to be a veterinarian. He didn't expect this bird to bring him a rabbit?

This was a big piece of news!

Chen Fan didn't know how to answer. Seeing the militiamen putting away their guns, he "chirped chirp" twice, waving at the sky.

The black shadow immediately swooped down, and when Chen Fan raised his arm, it landed steadily on his arm.

When the others saw this, how could they not know that Zhang Wenliang had guessed correctly? If it weren't for the fact that they were marching at this time and needed to maintain the formation, they would definitely have rushed over to watch the fun.

Xiao Liewen raised his hand to check the time, realizing it was getting late, and ordered them to continue on their way.

Chen Fan hung at the back, communicating with the Eurasian Hobby, "Why did you send a rabbit over?"

Eurasian Hobby, "Chirp chirp. (I can support myself)"

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly. Heh, it really took his words to heart this morning, and even caught a rabbit to prove it.

Since it was already taking this attitude, Chen Fan naturally wouldn't drive it away again, and said, "Alright, then you can follow me from now on. Free accommodation but no food, free medical care, but you have to pay for food. Let's make it clear, no rats or snakes, rabbits are okay, pigeons are also okay."

"Eh, let me see your wings. See, I told you to rest for an extra day, but you didn't listen, the wound has opened again. From now on, you're not allowed to fly until the wound heals."

Yang Xingxiu, who was beside him, saw him talking to the bird, her eyes filled with envy, "No wonder you can be a veterinarian. With this skill alone, it's a pity not to be a veterinarian."

Chen Fan humbly said a few words, put the Eurasian Hobby on his shoulder, and chatted as he walked.

Before long, they arrived at their destination, probably the highest small earth slope in the entire Lujiawan.

The earth slope was connected to the river embankment by a small depression, covered with miscellaneous trees of all heights and thicknesses.

When the team regrouped, Zhang Wenliang took over the command and guided the team to start training.

First, practice formation and ranks, then practice lying down, crawling forward, and charging.

Looking at the militiamen who ignored the ice and snow, Yang Xingxiu said softly, "I still remember more than ten years ago, when the brigade had just formed the militia, when they practiced lying down and crawling forward, almost half of the people didn't listen to orders."

Chen Fan turned his face and looked at her in surprise, "Really? I think they are very disciplined?"

Yang Xingxiu smiled, "Discipline is trained, but there were reasons for not obeying orders at that time. At that time, many people only had one or two sets of clothes. Some people even wore new clothes that they only wore during the New Year for the first time to participate in militia training. They were afraid of tearing their clothes, so of course they were unwilling to lie down.

Later, Captain Xiao told them about the importance of discipline, and everyone was willing to lie down. Some people took off their tops to avoid getting their clothes dirty, crawling naked in the snow."

After a pause, she pointed to the militiamen who were training in front, and said with a smile, "Look, now they have all learned to be good. They are wearing the worst clothes, patches on patches, and they are not afraid of damage if they are scratched."

Today is a tragic day, acute gastroenteritis, I took more medicine than rice, high fever plus headache plus stomachache plus body aches, I was in the hospital all day. After saying so much, I just want to say that there are only two chapters today o (╥﹏╥) o
