In fact, squad leader Yueyang was right, the command platoon was all elite.
When new recruits are assigned, the artillery company picks first. The basic requirement is to be over 1.8 meters tall, and the recruits are arranged from high to low. If 20 are selected, the top 20 will be taken away. After arriving at the company, the recruits undergo intensive training for three months, and then all the best performers are selected to the command platoon.
The command platoon is not finished yet, and the best among the best are selected by platoon leader Hu Zhijun to join the reconnaissance squad. The best in the reconnaissance squad serve as calculators, and Wang Ke is the only calculator in the reconnaissance squad. Now I understand why everyone from Bearded Company Commander Tian, Instructor Ding to Platoon Leader Hu Zhijun likes Wang Ke.
After the platoon leader Hu Zhijun finished speaking, he went to the company headquarters, but Wang Ke was stopped by the squad leader Yue Yang, "Wang Ke, we have been very busy right now, but you went to the hospital at a critical time. Have you recovered? What if? To set up a commando team, you have to take the lead in signing up, do you hear me?"
Wang Ke nodded, and a scene appeared in front of his eyes. A roaring tractor pulled a wheat seeder, and two people stood on the pedal behind the wheat seeder, lifting a bag of wheat seeds weighing seventy or eighty kilograms. Pour it into a row of funnels in front of you. The funnels sprinkle the wheat seeds evenly. There is a towed machine baffle behind it, and then the soil is scraped over to cover the wheat seeds. It rumbles past, raising a cloud of dust and bumps in the field ridges. On the planter, the two warriors were covered in dirt, with only the whites of their eyes and teeth white.
"Report to the monitor, no problem, I will sign up."
"What's your name?" Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran's voice sounded at the door, and he just walked in.
"Hello, deputy company commander, we are discussing signing up to join the commando team." Squad leader Yueyang quickly jumped off the kang, stood at attention and saluted deputy company commander Lu Zeran.
"Oh, you know?!" Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran smiled. Sure enough, Company Commander Bearded Tian went to platoon leader Hu Zhijun to discuss the matter.
"Deputy company commander, do you really want to sign up to form a commando team?" Squad Leader Yueyang asked.
"That's right, who do you have in line to sign up?"
"We are discussing, and Wang Ke said that every spot must be given to him." Yueyang squad leader pointed at Wang Ke.
"Oh, Wang Ke, can you do it with your little body? You have to sow about 400 kilograms of wheat seeds in one round trip. It takes more than ten hours a day to complete the task of sowing seven to eight hundred acres for ten consecutive days. You just came back from the hospital. , if you can’t persist, let your squad leader sign up!”
Monitor Yueyang was stunned when he heard this. Wang Ke is now full of gratitude to Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran. He feels that Wang Ke is destined to him, just like what is sung in a song, "comrades in arms, comrades in arms are as close as brothers..." Before breakfast, He came to the command platoon and wanted to have a good chat with Wang Ke. How did he find out and know that he was going to fry fish? And nip it in the bud and save yourself from danger.
So when deputy company commander Lu Zeran heard that Wang Ke was going to sign up to join the commando team, he immediately stopped.
"Deputy company commander, please do me a favor! I am a commando during the autumn rice harvest." Wang Ke spoke sincerely. He felt that being able to join the commando as he wished was an opportunity, just like killing the enemy on the battlefield. Who else would it be?
"No, no, I can't help you. Wang Ke, you are the treasure of our command platoon. No one will approve you to join the commando without your platoon leader Hu's personal permission." Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran flatly refused , Besides, the telephone class is big and round, and the wireless class is small and exquisite. How come there is no turn for a talented person to go into battle?
"Deputy company commander, I am not a scholar. I am a soldier." The soldiers in the platoon usually like to joke about Wang Ke, saying that he is the scholar of the company. Wang Ke thought that the deputy company commander Lu Zeran also considered his elegant name.
"Wang Ke, if you really want to go, go to the company headquarters now and talk to your platoon leader and Company Commander Tian in person to see if they agree?" Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran used the golden cicada to escape, and he thought to himself, Even if your platoon leader, Captain Wada, agrees, I will not agree. From now on, I will take care of you like a biological brother.
"Okay, squad leader, I'm asking for leave. I'll go to the company headquarters to ask for a fight!" After Wang Ke finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran away without waiting for the squad leader to express his stance.
At this time, at the company headquarters, Company Commander Bearded Tian and Platoon Leader Hu Zhijun were discussing candidates for the commando team. Platoon leader Hu Zhijun understands that good steel is used on the cutting edge. Although the command platoon is the brains of the entire company, now is the critical season for autumn plowing and autumn planting. It is a glorious and arduous task to seize the time to complete wheat sowing. However, the tasks of the three classes are very heavy. The telephone class works 24 hours a day at the ditch to watch the water pumps irrigate the fields. Two comrades from the wireless class were assigned to the division rotation training team. The remaining four soldiers and the reconnaissance class are responsible for cooperating with the leveling of the mechanical tillage station. Land, if four comrades are selected to join the sowing commando team, the difficulties will not be small.
"Report!" Wang Ke's voice sounded from the company door.
"Come in." As soon as Company Commander Bearded Tian finished his words, Wang Ke walked in and saluted Company Commander Bearded Tian and Platoon Leader Hu Zhijun.
"Report to the company commander and platoon commander, I will apply to join the commando team."
"You, you can't!" Platoon leader Hu Zhijun refused as expected. Winter training will follow Qiuzhong. The entire company must conduct training around the reconnaissance class, specifically around Wang Ke. If he makes a mistake if he is tired, he will be directly It is related to the quality of training throughout the year, and Wang Ke still had a high fever yesterday.
"Yes, why are you joining in the fun? Didn't I tell your platoon leader that you are not allowed to participate in any work this week? You need to take good care of yourself first." Company Commander Bearded Tian also refused, because he witnessed Wang The whole process of Ke's fever, her purple eggplant face and the thermometer are still shaking in front of her eyes.
Sowing is not only a physical job, but also requires a high sense of responsibility. In mechanized sowing, one funnel is equal to one soil moisture, and one soil moisture missed will affect one season.
"Platoon leader, let me sign up!"
"No, no, absolutely no. I'm the last two people left in the platoon, you and me." Platoon leader Hu Zhijun shook his hand and said his tone was non-negotiable.
Wang Ke cast a look at the bearded company commander Tian asking for help.
Captain Tian touched his shaved blue chin and said with a smile: "Wang Ke, don't look at me. If you want to sign up, you must first ask your platoon leader for permission."
"Go back, go back! If you have anything to say in the platoon from now on, you are not allowed to come to the company headquarters without permission across the pot pit." Although platoon leader Hu Zhijun's words were harsh, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Yes, platoon leader." Wang Ke saluted with a military salute, turned and left. At this time, he was very sure, because in the scene before him, one of the two warriors was himself. What's yours can't be run away, not what's yours can't be snatched.
Behind Wang Ke, the bearded company commander Tian and platoon leader Hu Zhijun exchanged glances. This soldier is so cute. The establishment of the Qizhong Commando Team was just announced. This soldier heard about it and immediately came to sign up. This is the backbone of the company's future construction. Both of them felt a sense of cherishing and loving talents in their eyes. .
After breakfast, the company gathered again and went to the rice field. Before leaving, Hu Zhijun's platoon leader pulled Wang Ke out of the team and ordered him sternly, "Wang Ke, listen carefully, I order you to rest at home. You are not allowed to go to the rice field, go to the cooking class, or sleep. You are not allowed to do this. You worry-free soldier, but you still want to sign up for the commando team?”
Wang Ke said nothing. Although he was sure of the scene, he didn't know the accuracy of what he saw. Will there be any changes? Just be careful and obedient now.
After the team left, Wang Ke dug out all the dirty clothes and shoes in the row and took them to the well to wash them. After washing his clothes and brushing his shoes, Wang Ke looked at the long row of clothes drying racks in front of the door. What was he doing? He remembered that there was a medical clinic in the farm department, and the director seemed to know a little bit about Chinese medicine, so he might as well go to the director.
Wang Ke locked the door and walked towards the farm health center.
The farm health center is more than one kilometer away from where the command platoon lives. It only took ten minutes to walk there, and the newly harvested rice fields on both sides were covered with rice stubble. The mechanized plowing road we are currently on is wide and straight. Wang Ke felt relaxed and happy. Suddenly he heard a child crying.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
What's going on? Wang Ke looked around and saw a wilderness. Even a grasshopper could see it, let alone a child. The grass on both sides of the road was withered and yellow. Did he have tinnitus? No, he did hear the child's cry.
He stopped, concentrated and listened carefully, and finally heard two more "Wow, wow...", and he was breathless. Following the sound, he walked to the side of the rice field, and there was a dry well in front of him. The sound came from this well. Did someone throw the child into this well?
Wang Ke was shocked. If he really threw a child into this dry well and no one found it, he would definitely die. Who would be so cruel? Wang Ke stepped forward and looked into the dry well, which was nearly one meter in diameter and three meters deep. There was no water in the dry well, with a small mouth and a big bottom, and it was also dark inside. Wang Ke lay on the edge of the well and looked down carefully. Suddenly, he saw a very terrifying scene. Two toads were fighting with a black snake that was about 1.5 meters tall.
There are many snakes in Baiyangdian, but not many particularly large and venomous snakes. Moreover, this season has entered late autumn, and frogs, toads, and snakes have dug holes early to enter hibernation. The presence of toads and snakes at the same time in this dry well is a very rare phenomenon. They are fighting together, and they must be fighting for the cave here.
The fight has entered a life-and-death stage. What surprised Wang Ke was not the two-meter-long snake, but the two toads, one big and one small. Each of them was a foot long and had a big mouth. When it opened its mouth, it could swallow a steamed bun. The snake entangled one of the small toads, but its head was tightly bitten by another large toad. The entangled toad would "wow" from time to time. It turned out that the cry of the child was the cry of a toad.
Wang Ke has a natural aversion to snakes. However, there was nothing handy around him. Only the head of the dry well was made of cement bricks. Wang Ke used his hands and feet to finally dig out two bricks from the edge of the well. But what if there are bricks? The well was so deep that Wang Ke had no idea whether two bricks would hit a toad or a snake if he threw them down.
After thinking about it, Wang Ke jumped into the well decisively, picked up the brick and threw it at She Qi.
Wang Ke suddenly jumped down, startling the two toads. The big toad that bit its tongue quickly let go and jumped to one side. The snake also turned around in pain and opened its mouth. Bite towards Wang Ke.
Wang Ke didn't hesitate. He hit a brick with each hand immediately. With a "pop" sound, he smashed the snake's head between the two bricks. However, the snake's body tightly wrapped around Wang Ke's two hands. Wang Ke's hand He tried too hard to let go of the brick, so he opened his mouth and bit the snake's seven inches. The smelly snake blood immediately filled Wang Ke's mouth. He couldn't vomit, and he didn't dare to swallow. I don't know how long it took, but the snake didn't move. Wang Ke, whose mouth was full of snake blood, let go of his hand, and no one knew how much of the snake blood in his mouth flowed into his belly.
The entangled little toad also recovered its strength and jumped to the other side. Two toads, each weighing three kilograms, looked at the savior in front of them with all four eyes. They didn't know what would happen next.
