Wait a minute, isn't the explosion of the artillery shell the "boom" sound in the movie?
Really not, the shrapnel of the real artillery shell blew up a cloud of dust. It was not a fireball flying upward, but a low "pop" sound and a large cloud of crushed lime mist.
The sound of the cannon completely woke up Gu Maolin.
"How could this happen?" He was a little panicked and quickly lowered his head to check again. "Fuck!" He cursed and actually saw "7" as "2", which meant that there were more than a dozen secrets in the direction.
"Platoon leader, I..."
Wang Ke interrupted him with a wave of his hand, indicating that he should make corrections quickly. Since it was a test launch, he could make corrections.
"Attention to the whole company, scale 262, direction left ×××, grenade, No. 2 charge, one shot to load." In just twenty seconds, Gu Maolin's command came immediately.
Wang Ke lowered his head and visually checked the distance and direction. This time, they were basically the same. He turned to look at Song Ruimin and Niu Suozhu, both of whom extended a thumbs up. Wang Ke nodded to the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
But at this time, the bearded company commander Tian's face was ashen. After repeating the order, he lowered his head and asked sternly: "Commander the platoon commander, are you sure?"
Wang Ke looked at Gu Maolin, then turned back and nodded vigorously to the company commander.
"emission!"
"Boom."
For ten long seconds, there was deathly silence. Wang Ke seemed to hear the "hiss" of the cannonball overhead.
"Poof" a cloud of smoke rose up, and the stone house disappeared instantly.
"Hit the target." Ma Zhuo Zhao Mingming reported the explosive spot.
"Attention of the whole company, one base number, volley coverage."
The commands came and went.
The target practice was almost uneventful, but of course the most exciting ones were Gu Maolin and the three recruits, because this was a completely independent process. After returning to the company, naturally there is a summary meeting. The process is not important, the result is satisfactory.
And being able to correct the hit with such a big error and overturn the small stone house directly with one shot is still very impressive.
But although Gu Maolin was excited, he never dared to raise his head in front of Wang Ke. As a scout, you have ten thousand excuses for those low-level mistakes in a dozen secret positions.
Therefore, this kid has become particularly attentive since he came back. First, he hurriedly filled Wang Ke with face wash, then hurriedly went to fetch water for the landlord, and then went to the canteen to help cook. So until dinner, Wang Ke never saw Gu Maolin again.
"Platoon leader, are you really not coming with us?" After dinner, reconnaissance squad leader Song Ruimin invited old squad leader Huang Zhonghe and telephone squad leader Xiao Gao to come to the house where Wang Ke lived. Several squad leaders sat together. Last time, Ye Xianxian sent some snacks, and everyone was chatting and eating them.
In fact, there may be a brief separation on the surface, because the easing of the situation in the south may involve demobilization. If we don’t get together this time, Kyoto will be preparing for war and construction, and Wang Ke will not be here, so it will be difficult to guarantee that everyone can still meet.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. In just half a month, we will definitely be together again." Wang Ke comforted the three squad leaders, especially Huang Zhonghe. Once demobilization is confirmed, he will not go to Kyoto again, but will need to stay in the barracks. , waiting for centralized retirement.
"Platoon leader, I heard that we will only have three days of rest after returning to the barracks, and we are about to set off."
"Well, you guys go up first, and I'll try to end it as soon as possible."
Several people were chatting when there was a sound of footsteps in the yard.
"Report!" Hu Yanlou followed Gu Maolin back, and Hu Yanlou also carried a loaded apron in his hand.
"Come on, Hu Yanlou." Wang Ke greeted him.
"There are so many people?" Hu Yanlou came in carelessly. Since he was also an old man in the command platoon, he naturally would not see anyone outside. He threw his apron on the kang, and a bunch of things rolled out.
"Platoon leader, I brought you some new sweet potatoes, they are all freshly cooked."
"Haha, Hu Yanlou, you're a guy who shows off your hospitality without having anything to do. He's either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want from our platoon leader?" Song Ruimin, the reconnaissance squad leader, said as he picked up a sweet potato, peeled it and started to chew it.
"It's okay, I just came to see the platoon leader. I'm usually very busy and don't have time to go back to the platoon. Now that the training is over, shouldn't I come to see you?"
"Come on, Hu Yanlou, you're just talking sweet words. I haven't seen you here for so long. If you're here today, something must be wrong." Song Ruimin said reluctantly.
"Hmm, it's not a big deal. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you talk to the comrades in the platoon. I plan to demobilize this year." Hu Yanlou said bluntly.
"Wait a minute, Hu Yanlou, are you demobilized this year? How are you going to pay back the money you owe our recruits?" Song Ruimin immediately put down the sweet potato in his hand and looked at Hu Yanlou.
"Don't I still have demobilization pay?" Hu Yanlou was a little embarrassed.
"Come on, your demobilization fee is only a few dollars. I know you owe us more than three hundred dollars alone, right?" Song Ruimin's voice also rose an octave higher. This is true. At that time, the demobilization fee for three-year soldiers was less than 200 yuan. Even including food and ticket expenses, it was only more than 200 yuan. However, Hu Yanlou was well-known in the whole company as a big debtor.
"Don't worry, even if I rely on your money, I won't rely on the recruits' money." Hu Yanlou was a little anxious.
At this time, the reconnaissance squad leader Song Ruimin was also a little anxious. "You can count on me! I have promised you, Hu Yanlou, that if you just leave the company naked, you must pay back the money."
"Absolutely. Look, buddy, didn't I come to discuss this with the old squad leader?"
"What? You won't ask our platoon leader to borrow money again, will you?" Song Ruimin, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again.
"Okay, you guys come together and pinch it together. Hu Yanlou, thank you for this sweet potato. It's delicious." Wang Ke had already finished one and immediately reached for the other.
"Platoon leader, if you like it, I'll bring some over tomorrow." Hu Yanlou said ingratiatingly, and quickly helped get one and handed it over.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, give these sweet potatoes to the recruits in the squad to try." Wang Ke clapped his hands, packed up the apron, and handed it to Song Ruimin.
There is no intention to stay or go, calm and quiet, elegant and calm, so peaceful.
For Hu Yanlou, demobilization is probably a helpless move for him. Wang Ke also wanted to ask him about his affairs with Cuihua, as well as Uncle Geng's illness and current situation. But these words cannot be discussed in front of several monitors.
"Come on, Hu Yanlou, come and sit on the kang." Wang Ke moved his butt inward to make some room.
How could Hu Yanlou have any leisure time sitting here? He went to the room with a burning heart. However, we can't act too impatient yet. He glanced at Gu Maolin, hoping to let him speak for himself.
Unexpectedly, Gu Maolin was happy today. He had not yet come out of the excitement of target shooting. When he saw Hu Yanlou looking at him, he immediately proposed. "Well, if nothing happens tonight, let's go play some poker?"
"Yes, you go and play. I'll have a chat with Hu Yanlou." Wang Ke immediately seconded the suggestion after hearing this, and hurry up, or else he will be pestered by Hu Yanlou tonight and don't want to sleep.
The three monitors plus Gu Maolin left the room. Hu Yanlou immediately got on the kang and sat across from Wang Ke.
"Squad leader, I want to talk to you..." Before he could finish speaking, Gu Maolin came back. "Gu Maolin, why are you joining in the fun? Didn't you go play poker?"
"Hey, that Niu Suozhu is awesome. Okay, you guys can chat, and I'll find a place to play the harmonica and flute." Gu Maolin knew what Hu Yanlou was here for, but this target practice made Gu Maolin want to stay in the team again. So going to Nanshao Village is really not Gu Maolin's most urgent request.
Therefore, seeing the anxious look of his fellow villager Hu Yanlou, Gu Maolin walked away wisely.
If we take every step in front of us well, the future will not be dark, because we can always walk in the light.
"Monitor, I..."
"Say what you have to say, and fart when you have any. When did you, Hu Yanlou, learn from your mother-in-law and mother?" Wang Ke jumped off the kang, went to find the tea vat and poured Hu Yanlou a glass of water.
"Squad leader, then I will tell the truth, but please don't scold me."
"Tell me? Did you hang a hook in Tunliu Village? Is it Cuihua's fault?" Wang Ke had thought about it tonight and was going to pierce the window paper for him.
"Monitor, I know you already knew, I just..."
"You just want me to say it, right?" Wang Ke looked at Hu Yanlou, handed him the boiling water, and then said seriously: "I know you have your difficulties, but for your sister, no matter how many reasons you have, , and you can’t violate army discipline!”
"Squad leader, I won't call you platoon leader tonight. I just want to tell you what I really think."
"Well, tell me." Wang Ke sat on the edge of the kang, and he realized that he was also dragged in today. If the incident comes to light in the future, even if you don't report it, you won't be able to get away with it.
"I do this for the happiness of several families and people."
"I know, Hu Yanlou, you are happy, but have you ever thought about how troubled I am?" Wang Ke still had a dark face.
"Monitor, you don't know. How can you be troubled? There are many girls chasing you. Others don't know it, but I know it." Hu Yanlou immediately retorted.
Um? Wang Ke stared at Hu Yanlou suspiciously, and suddenly he figured out that it must be Gu Maolin who talks too much. Only Gu Maolin in the whole row knows it best. He not only saw Ye Xianqian's disgust with Wang Ke in Nanshao Village, but also knew that Wu Xiangyu was disgusted with Wang Ke. His passion.
"Squad leader, don't look at me like that. It's definitely not what Gu Maolin told me." Hu Yanlou threw a bomb again, as if he had ironclad evidence.
"Your boy must have discussed it with Gu Maolin behind his back. Let me tell you, we have a pure friendship."
"Monitor, don't get excited. I know you two have a pure friendship, but don't I have one too?"
"Go away! Hu Yanlou, you came here today not to settle old scores with me, to expose scars and to make bad enemies, right?"
"Absolutely not, squad leader, my old squad leader, I just came to you to find a way. I am planning to demobilize this year. I hope you can help me. For my sister, for Uncle Geng, and for those two children, I need a job. You need to feed your family, you need to…”
"Stop it, Hu Yanlou. After talking for a long time, you are doing it all for others. Are you Zhang Side or Bethune? Why do I feel that you are doing it for yourself and not for the army?"
"Monitor, my dearest old monitor, you must help me." Hu Yanlou jumped off the kang and put on his shoes. "Squad leader, I know you will help me, I believe..."
"You believe in a big-headed ghost, Hu Yanlou. Tonight, I also want to tell you that you must learn from the old squad leader Huang Zhonghe. If you are in the army for one day, even if you want to leave, you must stand at the last post. "
"Yes! Monitor." Hu Yanlou blinked and then grinned. "Monitor, I understand."
"What do you understand?"
"I will do a good job, and you can just watch, okay?" After Hu Yanlou finished speaking, he said with a playful smile: "Are the wages in Nanshao Village really that high?"
Wang Ke's eyes widened again. It seemed that Gu Maolin really needed to be dealt with. The two people behind him seemed to have caused a lot of trouble.
"Monitor, calm down, monitor." Upon seeing this, Hu Yanlou immediately waved his hand and continued: "Cuihua asked me to thank you. She told me that you gave her all the money you had. Uncle Geng's condition is now stable. She goes to Nanshao Village every two weeks to get medicine and water from the ancient well."
Wang Ke was startled, and then a rare smile appeared on his face.
