The box was handed to Shao Gang to carry, and he kept it warm in his sleeves. But Shao Gang was an even better brat. He had left all his luggage at the station, and he had a habit of smoking cigarettes.
The lunch box was stuck in a creaking nest, leaning down a little with every swing of his elbow, which made Shen Rusong roll his eyes. He would rather loosen his cufflinks to let in the cold wind than stuff the lunch box into his sleeves.
Even with the smoke, Shao Gang couldn't stop his mouth. He started to comment on the female soldiers passing by. Shen Rusong definitely didn't have the energy to talk to him about this. He thought that through the yellow helmet and yellow vest breathing mask, he could see a flower. ?
But Shao Gang really got it right every time. Shen Rusong could see that she was really pretty if she took a few glances at her. She couldn't help but wonder when this kid had developed his sharp eyes.
The retribution for the two of them, who had been looking around here and there, came quickly. They passed several street entrances inadvertently. When Shen Rusong reacted, he was inexplicably dragged by the crowd and stopped in front of the railway track.
Thinking about it, you realize that you didn't pass through this place when you came here. That's it. You're lost.
Shen Rusong couldn't wait to trick Shao Gang right now. He heard the alarm bell at the railway track blaring loudly. It was obvious that the train was about to enter the station. He didn't know if he would miss his train.
Fortunately, after asking someone else for directions, they knew that they had taken a long detour, but they followed the track to the end and returned to the starting station, which saved Shao Gang from that kick.
Shao Gang probed his neck and felt that the train was still far away. The six wide rails were only about nine meters wide. He passed through it in the blink of an eye, saving a few minutes of wasted time. So he dragged Shen Rusong and quietly ran towards Daoka.
Unexpectedly, the guards guarding the card had already taken care of anyone who had any unusual movements. They raised their steel guns, saluted with a military salute, and asked for their IDs.
The two of them obediently presented their officer certificates with both hands.
"Hey, are you discharging the troops today?" The sentry compared the photo with the real person, and saw that the steel seal was very bright red, and asked curiously.
Shen Rusong took the certificate back and stuffed it into his inner pocket. He looked at the approaching train from the corner of his eye and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I was hungry and had a meal in the cafeteria. I took the wrong way and was afraid of being late, so I thought …”
The guard wiped off the thin snow accumulated on his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I have only been in the first line since I took over the post, so I can't miss you."
Shen Rusong felt reassured and fumbled into his hidden bag to take out the Peony cigarettes he usually carried with him but rarely smoked. The guard took one and put it on his ear. However, seeing that his companion who had scattered the cigarette smoked it nonchalantly, he simply lit it. Forget it, he rarely sees saboteurs breaking through the dragnet to come here to take credit.
The match was turned around and the smoke was good. The guard pointed at the train and said: "Here! They are all big guys! Send them to the base for a massage. After the installation is completed, they will be sent to the front line immediately. If you catch up, the ones behind you will have to be like you. , squat at the station for several hours!”
Shen Ru let go of his hand and leaned forward to look at the gear lever. What was passing was an armament train, and all it was pulling were tanks! He simply counted, almost fifty vehicles.
However, it was covered with a tarpaulin and he couldn't tell clearly. He hesitated and said, "Is this the 66-style or the 69-A?"
"66." The guard said without thinking.
"How can the 69-A be willing to go to Gandur in the west to fight on the streets? How can a Siberian tiger go to the desert to catch lizards? Look at the thickness of the gun barrel. The 69-A is a 125 gun, which is slightly shorter and thicker than the 105 gun, and the induction wheel There is a deformation device there, but 66 has no ability to adapt its tracks."
"Brother understands people." Shen Rusong praised, then handed over a cigarette and said doubtfully:
"Last year, in November, the NCO Academy held a plenary meeting. It was mentioned that the battle was won on the Gandur front, and more than 30,000 Gupta bastards were killed. The battle line was pushed to the Purple Sea. When winter was over, the Guptas would definitely go back to their hometowns with their tails curled up. , now...wow, what kind of cannon is this?"
Shen Rusong was shocked by the train behind him mid-sentence. For no other reason, it was full of self-propelled artillery with a caliber large enough for people to get into. A blind guess was that it had a caliber of at least 240 mm.
Compared with the gun barrel of the 69A just now, the difference is purely an arm and a thigh.
Together with the matching chassis, it adds up to five artillery groups. Can not even one platoon handle such heavy artillery?
"Self-propelled mortar, right? I've never seen it before." The guard replied. However, Shen Rusong was only busy looking at the heavy equipment that he usually didn't hear, so he naturally didn't take into account the complexity of this veteran with half white hair on the temples. Eyes.
The armament train was coming and going, but after watching Shen Rusong for a while, there was not much novelty anymore. He glanced at Shao Gang, who was continuing to watch the excitement in the crowd, and was happy that this kid would not bother him, so he picked up what he had just said. topic, said:
"Um, what are you doing with this equipment for exercises? The Guptas don't want to fight in such a big battle. Should they clear out the mutant beasts or attack the deformed ones? There's no need to blow up the mountain."
"There are always bunkers that cannot be exploded by grenades." The guard only said this vaguely, and then asked: "Hey, which unit are you in?"
"Yanqi garrison."
"Hey, Yanqi Regiment, this unit is a veteran and strong force." The guard immediately looked surprised. "It seems that you are in the sergeant academy and your grades are not bad."
Shen Rusong smiled and said, "The ranking is not bad, probably in the top ten."
The guard looked Shen Rusong up and down again, took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and saluted him back, saying: "Good boy, it's a piece of material, eh, is it two third-class meritorious services, or one third-class meritorious service and one second-class meritorious service?" Come on, it seems like you can get something done, so go for it.”
"Look at fate, look at fate."
"When the opportunity comes, take it." The guard blew his nose.
"Yanqi regiment... The Yanqi base is next to the Ling Naval District. If you have the opportunity to go for a stroll in Qamdo in the Ling Naval District, the girls there are awesome." The guard winked.
Shen Rusong chatted with the guard for a while. He waited until all the armaments trains had finished and then released the card. The guard told him that it was best to run, otherwise a new passenger train would arrive in the station within five minutes. .
The two of them were almost driven into the station by the sound of the whistle. They ran wildly in the workers' maintenance channel. When the train stopped, they almost lost their breath. Otherwise, why would they rather run five kilometers than sprint eight hundred meters?
Shen Rusong held his waist and stood on tiptoes to look at the receiving officer coming off the train. The station horn sounded, but when he heard it, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Damn it, this car is going to the Fengyang base in the west, it has nothing to do with them.
The Fengyang base alone has four secondary bases under its jurisdiction. The secondary bases also have smaller third-level bases and large and small military depots. The number of supplementary posts every year adds up to tens of thousands of disabled and demobilized soldiers.
So just the cadets and cadets of various arms assigned to Fengyang direction filled a train directly. The Yanqi base in the direction of Changhai is a second-level base, with jurisdiction over third-level bases such as Huahu, Beiqin, Qingyuan, and Wangkui.
Shen Rusong heard rumors that the Renaissance Army was determined to clean up the ruins of Fenglin where the dark species were entrenched. Before the war, Fenglin was the capital of Hehui Province in the northeast of the alliance, with a population of over ten million, and its strategic value and significance were self-evident. Once it is really built into the Fenglin base, it can be regarded as solving the embarrassing problem of Yanqi, a secondary base, being sandwiched between the three major bases of Fengyang, Longshan and Qamdo.
Shen Rusong returned to where his backpack was and looked left and right but didn't see Gao Keming. He knew in his heart that this little guy might really have feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed there for more than two hours.
Shen Rusong sat cross-legged on the ground and smoked a cigarette. His butt hurt from the cold. He patted the ashes and stood up, telling Shao Gang, "Look here, I'm going to take a look at the big head, I'm afraid I'm hiding somewhere in a daze."
"OK."
Shen Rusong wandered around several stations and found Gao Keming on the westbound train.
However, the latter was not in a daze. Instead, he was hugging the girl he had loved for three years, with his head resting on his shoulders.
Shen Rusong laughed for a moment and put his hands in his trouser pockets. The station was almost empty. He sat on a bench and stared at the blue and whitish sky where the fog had dispersed. He exhaled, wiped the corners of his eyes, and took out his Family photos, held in hand.
It may take a long time, but it may take a long time. A new train arrives at the station again.
Shen Rusong watched Gao Keming escort the girl to the car. After a long time, she didn't even get off the train. In the end, she fell out of the small window and fell flat on her back.
As if he hadn't fallen badly, the kid got up instantly, chased the train, clasped his hands and shouted: "Write a letter to me when you get there, write a letter!"
Until the train completely left the station, there was no trace of it. Shen Rusong saw Gao Keming standing still as if he had lost his soul. After thinking about it, he walked over to his side without saying a word and put the still warm hand in his sleeve. The lunch box was handed to him.
The moment Gao Keming lowered his head to open the lunch box, Shen Rusong turned around and picked up the cigarette box. Turning around, I found that there were only a few people left at this station. At this moment, more than half of the cadets who were assigned to the west direction were gone.
"You don't need my sister to be your tutor anymore."
"Is it successful?"
"You kid, please say something. It's time for your soul to come back."
After the lunch box was empty, Gao Keming said nothing for a while and walked back to the east platform.
There were quite a few men and women sitting next to each other in the corner. Indeed, they were usually strictly controlled in the military academy, but before they left, why bother to catch them now?
After washing his face in the toilet, he stopped at the leeward side. Gao Keming touched it for a long time before he realized that the cigarette was missing. He had to ask Shen Rusong for a cigarette. He smoked it and said in a harsh voice: "Mother, why do you have to do this?" I just agreed today, after so many opportunities in the past...why?"
"I've been waiting for three years. I didn't try my best to chase her during the holidays. She understood my meaning even in the dormitory. Does she have to answer today? Write a letter to the west and come back. How long? Can we see each other in a year? How many times? You have to answer me now when someone is gone? Why..."
Shen Rusong leaned against the wall and listened to Gao Keming's ramble for a long time. Every time he wanted to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Gao Keming.
"It seems that you know the truth, and you can take control of it yourself." Shen Rusong said. The whistle sounded, and people around him started to startle and look around. It was obvious that many people hoped that this was not the train that was going to take them away.
Shen Rusong hesitated and said, "My silly brother, don't be stupid again when you get there."
Gao Keming said "hmm", making it hard to tell whether he heard it or not.
No matter how long you wait, the train will eventually come. When the officer comes down, the loudspeaker roars: "Yanqi Ding Train No. 4022 has arrived!"
People lined up in a long queue to put their backpacks and bags into the luggage compartment. The conductor felt that this was too slow and he might be late, so he raised his horn and asked the people who were still crowded at the back to pass their bags to them, so the train conductor behind him Those who got on quickly got on the bus, while those who had been waiting in line continued to lift weights.
Shen Rusong jumped over the gap between the train and the platform. The heat from the tank car caused a white mist to rise on the mirror of the gas mask, and then disappeared immediately.
The train backed up a little, then rumbled forward, the cold wind blowing the steam back.
The boundless snowfield and the vast Longshan Mountain soon appeared outside the iron window.
And the telegraph poles fixed in the frozen soil disappeared early when the sun was setting, and civilization turned into a pale color. Only the coal-burning train running on the rails reminded the people in the car. , the soles of their feet still have the length of civilization, and the cold air penetrates when people tighten their collars, which also means that the glorious world without the sun is really gradually moving away from them.
The sky was vast and the stars were thousands of miles away. The mist condensed into water droplets on the window bars and turned into ice edges, shining through the colors of the stars and falling into his eyes. Only then did Shen Rusong know that in this world, Sure enough, there are things that never need people to create and give them.
