An American Ford truck with a load of 2.5 tons was stumbling and driving slowly on the bumpy dirt road on the outskirts of Taiyuan City. Meng Yuting, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the cab, and Ergazi, who was driving, were chatting without saying a word, but their eyes were filled with laughter. He stared at the road tightly, his nerves were highly tense.
This and that is a road, not even a mountain road. The truck just shuttles directly through the woods and mountains. From time to time, leaves and branches scrape against the vehicle body and make a crunching sound. The only sign that can confirm that it is a road is the traces of wheels on the ground, indicating that there are indeed vehicles passing through.
Meng Yuting felt so nervous while sitting in the cab, and one can imagine the mood of the other people sitting in the carriage. Meng Yuting was a little worried whether the brothers behind him would get carsick. If so, the red pork belly at noon would be in vain.
Ergazi knew what Meng Yuting was worried about when he saw Meng Yuting's expression, and said with a smile: "This road is actually the car driving training ground for our mercenary group. It was made by the scholar himself driving a truck. He asked us to usually You must drive on this road. Don’t worry, even if I drive on this road for a long time, nothing will happen to me with my eyes closed.”
As soon as he said this, he saw a thick branch in front of him. In Meng Yuting's sight, it seemed that the branch, which was as thick as a child's arm, swept directly towards the windshield. He subconsciously He lowered his head suddenly and shouted: "Be careful!"
Little did he know that there happened to be a shallow pit in the ground, and the car just avoided this branch as it drove up.
Meng Yuting was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He turned around and looked at Ergazi who still had a simple and honest smile. He cursed in his heart: "This kid did it on purpose. This is to give me a pre-emptive showdown."
He didn't know that this Ergazi really wanted to compete with them.
why?
Not convinced!
It turned out that Zhou Wen was overjoyed when he knew that the marshal was going to send him a group of officers. When he came back, he was full of praise for his brothers. He believed in the marshal's vision and the talents of the elites selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. Is it bad? And this is when Zhou Wen needs officers the most. As long as these people can truly integrate into the mercenary group, the combat effectiveness of the affiliated units of the mercenary group will increase exponentially.
So Zhou Wen gave endless instructions to the brothers to treat each other with sincerity, greet each other with courtesy, etc. However, Ergazi, a tough guy, didn't take it seriously.
Now these old brothers in the mercenary group are well-informed and have some understanding and contact with the situation of the domestic army. The National Army and the Jin Army were just like that. The Northwest Army was defeated, and the Northeast Army was even more unbearable. They were all men without eggs.
Therefore, while the members of the mercenary team have established strong self-confidence, they can't help but develop some arrogance, which is no longer looked down upon by others.
What's more, these brothers have followed Zhou Wen all the way. When have they ever seen someone who can command, plan, and be more capable than a scholar? Their trust and respect for Zhou Wen has reached the point of blind obedience. Anyway, as long as the scholar says, we will do it.
They don't understand what it means to have limited manpower and what it means to specialize in skills.
So when I heard Zhou Wen repeatedly praising how rare these officers were, how they were elites studying abroad, etc., I wanted to compare them with each other.
I heard you are very capable? Come on, come on, let's compete with me on who's shooting skills are better?
Who is better in a fist and foot competition with me?
how? Will not work?
Well, let's compare the 50 kilometers cross-country.
What? Too far?
That's okay, can it be 30 kilometers? If that doesn't work, just 20 kilometers.
What did you say? 10 kilometers? Forget it, I can't afford to lose that person.
So when this guy learned that he was going to be sent to pick up those so-called elites, he had some thoughts. In addition, the words of other brothers were confusing and instigating, including the hands and feet of two dog-headed military advisors, Zhang Xiaoping and Xu Dacheng. Several people actually discussed several ways to come up with it.
Keep an eye on these elites as soon as they enter the city and find out where they have gone? What did you do? Then when we meet, we want to scare them. How can we let them underestimate our methods?
For this reason, two great masters, Zhao Yi and Zhao Shun, were specially hired to keep an eye on him.
Then he took them not to take the dirt roads that usually transport supplies, but to take them to the forest mountain roads used for training, so that they can see the skills of their brothers in driving, and also wake them up from their drowsiness.
And then...hehe! There is still a back-up plan waiting for you.
Miaohua turned a deaf ear to these, but Gao Xiaoshan couldn't bear it, and was afraid of spoiling the scholar's recruitment plan, so he tried to dissuade her with a few words, but you were dissuading, not giving orders, weren't you? We don't have to listen. In the whole group, only Zhou Wen, who was too busy, and Uncle Wu, who was in the city, didn't know.
With an honest smile on Ergazi's face, he pulled Meng Yuting and the others, who were turning pale and cursing in their hearts, to finally walk out of the forest mountain road and turn onto a dirt road.
Although this dirt road is a narrow and simple road that is barely passable, if a rival car comes, you have to shift into reverse gear and find a wider area to meet the car. But in the eyes of Meng Yuting and the others, it was no different from the feeling of coming from a dirt road to a highway in later generations. They breathed a long sigh of relief and calmed down the nausea and depression tumbling in their chests and abdomen.
Fortunately, I walked out. Otherwise, if I had walked a little longer, I'm afraid a few people wouldn't be able to help but complain, and it would be embarrassing and would be thrown into my grandma's house. Everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on, but they couldn't follow the wishes of this boy who looked honest but harbored bad intentions in his heart.
At this time, everyone didn't know that this kid lieutenant was responsible.
In fact, it's not that Meng Yuting and the others are too squeamish to endure hardship. At least they have been in the army for many years and have fought on the battlefield. It's not like they never rode in military vehicles when they were studying in the Soviet Union. All kinds of training and exercises can't be done in school, right? What's more, most of them have not only ridden in military vehicles, but also in tanks and armored vehicles.
What's more, there are two officers who have specially learned to drive tanks, but now they are cursing in their hearts: "What the hell, what kind of car training ground is this? It's comparable to the tank training ground that I used to have. But It’s safe for me to drive a tank, but if you let me sit in the bed of a truck and feel like I’m about to be thrown out at any time, is that human suffering?”
In fact, this venue was really used by Zhou Wen to practice his brothers' driving skills. Think about it, there are not many roads that can be considered as roads in China now. After searching the whole country, there are not many. When the war breaks out, how many opportunities will there be for you to take a slow road? There are plane bombings in the sky and heavy artillery bombardment on the ground. If you don't go to the woods and mountains, you are looking for death. Therefore, it is necessary to train brothers’ driving skills in various environments.
The first time the mercenary group took this road, Zhou Wen was the one driving the car, and the others were sitting in the carriage. When they walked out, everyone's face was pale and their stomachs were churning.
So Ergazi just wants to let these newcomers have a taste of this.
We can't endure hardship first and you enjoy pleasure later, right?
