march to victory

"Huang Debao!"

Hearing the squad leader's name being called from behind, the two turned their heads together to look, and seeing the company commander Zhang Guozhi coming with a few people, they quickly stood up and saluted.

What's interesting is that even at this time, Zhang Qingshan didn't intend to put down the heavy machine gun. He tried to hold the heavy machine gun with his left hand and saluted with his right hand, which seemed a bit nondescript.

"Others are busy cleaning the battlefield, but you are sitting here as an official, smoking and chatting... Huh~!" While talking, Zhang Guozhi noticed the machine gun in Zhang Qingshan's hand, and immediately forgot to continue to teach Huang Debao.Smacking his mouth, he took a step forward, took the machine gun from Zhang Qingshan, touched it, weighed it again, and said joyfully, "Tsk! Tsk! It's still new."

Immediately, he squinted at Huang Debao suspiciously: "Could it be that you cheated it from someone else again?"

"Company commander, you say I can do it, but it's not right for you to say that about my soldiers." After Huang Debao replied carelessly, he put his left hand on Zhang Qingshan's shoulder and said, "This is the new soldier of our class." Comrade Zhang Qingshan, the soldier. This machine gun was bought by him with a big knife, after going through untold hardships, breaking through many obstacles... from the hands of Bai Gouzi. How can you say it was cheated? It is too shocking to the soldiers positivity."

After bragging a lot, all I got was one word - "Get lost!"

"You really captured this from the enemy yourself?" Zhang Guozhi knew Huang Debao's old subordinate very well: he never made big mistakes, but kept making small ones.If it weren't for his small mistakes, he would be a platoon leader anyway.Last time, while cleaning the battlefield, Huang Debao flicked a light machine gun from a recruit of the second company and reported it. As a result, he had to apologize to the commander of the second company himself, and he lost a lot of face.This time, in order not to be fooled by Huang Debao, it's better to be more cautious.

Zhang Qingshan did not have Huang Debao's courage and qualifications, pointing to the corpse not far away, he said seriously: "Report to the company commander, I captured it from that white dog myself."

"Great." As he said, he told Huang Debao: "You have to bring me such a good seedling. If I find out that you brought him up just like you, I'll see how I deal with you. "

"Isn't it just a misunderstanding? You are already the company commander, so you can't be so petty... You are the leader, so you can't kick people... Can the company commander be wrong?"

"Kicking others is a mistake, kicking you, hum! I don't give you two feet often, your tail can go up to the sky." Zhang Guozhi retracted his foot, returned the heavy machine gun to Zhang Qingshan, and stared a few meters away. Huang Debao, who had slipped away, said to Li Guowei who had just come to his side: "Show me your squad's military merit book."

"Good job." Flipping through it, Zhang Guozhi patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, do a good job. After I get back, I will personally go to the regiment headquarters to ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Captain."

Soon, the troops assembled and set off. In the early morning of the next day, they returned to the station in Zhaotouzhai Town, Longshan County, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Province, and rested for three days.The Mark heavy machine gun has also become a Czech light machine gun, with [-] rounds of light machine gun bullets.At this point, Quan Lian laughed, because this was the only machine gun in Quan Lian.Only Zhang Qingshan, who was not in charge of the family and didn't know how expensive he was, pouted and complained with a mournful face: "The Mark style has become the Czech style, so happy..."

As soon as he slept until noon, he opened his eyes to see Li Guowei, the deputy squad leader, sitting by the head of the bed, humming a little tune, wiping the barrel of the machine gun with a small oilcloth, and in front of him was a small box made up of several ammunition boxes. A table with dismantled light machine gun parts placed on it.

"woke up?"

"En!" Zhang Qingshan responded, put on his clothes, folded the thin quilt that was fully patched, and stood beside Li Guowei, silently watching him wipe his gun.

"Don't stand there stupidly, go wash up, and get some food from the cooking class. Come back after eating, and I'll tell you something serious."

In less than half an hour, Zhang Qingshan returned to the barracks.

"Thanks."

Before his butt was attached to the bed, he heard Li Guowei's nonsensical thank you. Zhang Qingshan was stunned and asked, "Deputy squad leader, thank you?"

"Of course I would like to thank you." Li Guowei put down the tarpaulin, sniffed the barrel, squinted his eyes, and showed a satisfied smile. While assembling the light machine gun, he turned his head and smiled at Zhang Qingshan: "Our third company has not had a machine gun for 28 days. , Now, because of your hard work, our third company has a light machine gun again, and it is still used by our squad, so my thanks, not only on behalf of myself and the squad, but also on behalf of all the comrades of the third company."

Speaking of which, he put the newly assembled light machine gun in Zhang Qingshan's hand: "Feel it, do you really want to fire a few shots?"

Seeing Li Guowei turning his head and talking to himself, Zhang Qingshan completed the assembly very skillfully and quickly, he was dazzled, stunned, and extremely envious. Holding the light machine gun, he looked at it, touched it, raised his head and nodded to Li Guowei with a smile.

"You are so beautiful!" He grabbed the gun, pulled the bolt, and pulled the trigger. Hearing the hollow sound, he smiled with satisfaction.When he handed the gun to Zhang Qingshan again, he had the evil smile of Uncle Wolf lying to the little girl: "I think you are a talent, how about it, do you want to learn how to shoot a machine gun with me?"

"Deputy squad leader, is this learning? I think they are all armed with machine guns and just pull the trigger to shoot."

Li Guowei, who never expected to get such an answer, was stunned for three seconds, grabbed the light machine gun, and said angrily: "Do you think that everyone can be a machine gunner? Just pick up the gun and shoot? Humph! Time, if you don’t kill all your comrades-in-arms, even if you are capable.”

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over in disbelief, Li Guowei looked at him contemptuously: "Do you know what a three-round burst is? What is a floating burst? Do you know the difference between a fixed burst and a floating burst..."

A series of technical terms made Zhang Qingshan feel like listening to heaven, but he is not stupid, he immediately understood how ignorant he was just now.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan shaking his head honestly, Li Guowei felt that he had regained his face, and asked in a low voice: "Give me a quick word, do you want to learn?"

"miss you!"

Next, Li Guowei began to teach Zhang Qingshan, from the structure of the light machine gun to the three-round burst...

"It's done, it's done, ha! ha!"

The two turned their heads to look at each other, and saw the squad leader clapping a piece of paper in his hand and said happily: "Qingshan, your kid not only won the second-class merit, but also, the regiment decided to hold a commendation meeting tomorrow, and your kid will represent you." All new fighters, give speeches in front of the comrades of the whole regiment."

"Ah~!"

"Ah what, this is a great thing... What is your expression?"

"But...but when I think of standing on the stage and talking to so many people, I panic so much."

"It's okay." Huang Debao smiled with experience: "Let me teach you to be good: you prepare the speech first, and when the time comes, don't read the following, just read it according to the script."

Li Guowei also put on a sullen face on purpose, and said in a deep voice: "You have to complete this as a political task, otherwise, what will be lost is not your face alone, but the face of the whole class, and even the entire company."

Zhang Qingshan lowered his head and lowered his voice: "But I can't read. I still learned my name during recruit training. I used to poke fingerprints."

"Tsk!" The deputy squad leader smacked his mouth, pondered for a while, and said, "Well, tell me and the squad leader what you want to say now."

"What should I say?"

"Just talk about your life experience before joining the Red Army and how you felt after joining the Red Army."

……

When Zhang Qingshan barely finished talking about his experience and feelings, the company commander's roar came from outside the door: "One battalion and three companies, within one minute, fully armed, and urgently gather at the playground!"
