Episode 117 The Eve of the Exercise (44) by Successor (44).
The 'Beijing Garrison' belongs to the guard unit of the headquarters, and after the New Year, before the training starts in the new year, a large-scale exercise is always carried out, and the origin of the name of the 'Imperial Forest Army' began at this time.
The recruits of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' were discharged from the company ahead of schedule after the Chinese New Year, and were enriched into all battalions of the regiment, and the three battalions and seven companies were also reorganized, and Guo Xiaosong was transferred to the ninth squad and served as the deputy squad leader of the ninth squad.
'Comrades, the exercise is about to begin, my squad is responsible for the supply and distribution of the whole company, and acts together with the cooking squad. The new ninth squad leader was promoted by the deputy squad leader, and he was much more experienced in the management of a squad than the general squad leader.
'The class is divided into three combat groups, I am the leader of the group, and my group is composed of me, veteran Zhang, you two recruits, do you know? The ninth squad leader pointed with his hand to his own 'First Combat Group. ’
'The second group is led by Guo Xiaosong, the deputy squad leader, and there are Li veterans and a new recruit, 'Among the two people led by Guo Xiaosong, one is a soldier of the same year, and the other is a new recruit.
'The third group is in charge of veteran Hu, and the remaining two veterans follow him, no problem, right? 'Three veterans as a combat group, let them 'dog-eat-dog' go.'"
Now I will talk about the general work of my class, we are mainly responsible for helping the cooking team carry daily necessities, iron pots, firewood, and vegetables at the end of the whole company. Oil, anyway, as long as it is the stuff of the cooking class, it is all the work of our class, just like the company commander said at the meeting, others have completed the 'Long March' in battle, and our ninth class has completed the 'Long March' on foot, as long as the food safety of the whole company is improved, our squad will be considered to have successfully completed the task, and everyone is clear and clear! 'The ninth squad leader is a new official, and he naturally has a lot of energy in his heart. Especially the deputy squad leader Guo Xiaosong assigned to him in the company, this is the most excellent military officer in the whole company in the same year.
'Clear! The class shouted.
"Okay, let's dismiss the meeting first, the squad deputy and veteran Hu will stay for a while, and let's study the assignment work on the first day!" ’
In the cooking squad of the Ninth Company, except for one left-behind officer at home, the remaining five people all participated in this exercise. In the days leading up to the exercise, the nine squads had to come to them every day to report and be responsible for distributing the company's food and vegetables. In modern times, logistics and supply work is also very important.
'Ninth class deputy. Come here! The cooking squad leader was a three-year veteran, and he also began to deploy work for the nine squads he was assigned to.
'Squad leader. Something to do with me? If Guo Xiaosong said that he didn't feel anything about being the deputy on duty in the veteran class, now that he has managed the recruits, it is really like that, he treats the recruits as brothers, and strictly demands them, which is also 'good for them.' ’
"There are a few bags of rice, and you will be responsible for giving each class a few pounds of rice, canned rice bags, one pound and two taels of rice per person a day, and the first three days!" ’
"Squad leader, do you have to give me a rod scale," Guo Xiaosong felt that the decimeter was also fixed, and there must be one for measurement.
'Scales? What do you want that thing for, use a tea jar, I have it in that house, a full flat tea jar is six taels, you remember, don't send me too much, send too much is not enough, I don't have it. ’
Using the tea jar to decimulate the meter, Guo Xiaosong thought it was ridiculous, and when he took the tea jar with the words 'so-and-so martial arts conference' in his hand, he couldn't help but look at it carefully.
"Deputy of the ninth class, you don't know yet, our squad leader is still a pacesetter, and this teapot is a souvenir," a cooker introduced the teapot.
'Pacesetter? When? After being a soldier for more than a year, Guo Xiaosong heard of this for the first time.
"Our garrison, once every two years, you joined the army last year, you didn't catch up, this year there is you, I see that your body is very strong, maybe you can win the top few in the competition, the first and second are given meritorious service, and the last must be a third-class merit!" ’
'Oh, so that's the case, I'll just say, there is no war in this era of peace, and the military merit medals are issued a lot every year, who to give them to, and who not to send them, it really has to be praised, the competition is good, the competition is good! Guo Xiaosong said to himself, sitting on the bag of rice of 200 catties, Guo Xiaosong and other classes came here to receive rice.
A person's three-day ration is three catties and six taels of rice, this rice is cooked, it should be enough for a young man to eat, sitting on the hemp bag to distribute food, it is really a hard work, only divided into two shifts, Guo Xiaosong felt that his arm was a little sore.
'How much have you sent?' The secretary walked past the rice bag.
'It's more than a hundred pounds,' Guo Xiaosong stopped handing out food, the secretary was a 'second lieutenant' officer, and he had to stand up and reply.
"Try to send as many as possible, the drill is a tiring job, you have to let the big guy eat enough," the secretary usually works in the cooking class, Guo Xiaosong is really not familiar with it.
The cooking squad leader said that he couldn't send too much, he was afraid that he wouldn't have enough! ’
"Listen to me, it's almost enough, we still have surplus food in the company,"
'Well, then I'll do as you say!' The officer's instructions naturally had to be listened to, and Guo Xiaosong's tea jar changed from a "flat bowl" to a "bulging belly." ’
After dividing the rice, vegetables, and meat, these have to be turned into sporadic and distributed to each class, each person has four taels of meat and eggs per day, it should have been the turn of the squad leader to 'take over', it can be seen that the ninth squad leader has not come for a long time, and Guo Xiaosong did not dare to call him, so he had to 'do it for himself'.
The soybean oil cans have arrived in the recruits' new kettle, which also shows that they have no conditions to bring water.
The oath-taking meeting of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' was held in the evening, and I saw that on the rostrum of the auditorium, Guo Xiaosong saw the banner of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' for the first time.
Comrades, our exercise has a realistic background, and the new leader of Taiwan, Li Moumou, has always advocated 'Taiwan independence,' and he wants to carve out Taiwan from China's territory. The political commissar of the regiment wore a 'red scarf' around his neck, which was a symbol of the exercise, which meant that the 'Iron Blood Regiment' represented the 'Red Army'. ’
'No, I can't! The answer of all the cadres and soldiers in the auditorium was very loud.
"Yes, of course we can't agree, our exercise can effectively shock the Taiwan independence elements in the platform, and our role will be enlightened, we must unite closely in ~~~~," the impassioned speech of the political commissar of the regiment was very incendiary, Guo Xiaosong sat in his seat, his heart was surging, as if in the near future, he really became a member of the liberated platform and set foot on the land of the platform victoriously.
Although it is not a field army unit, the equipment of the 'Iron Blood Regiment' is not comparable to that of an ordinary city defense regiment, and the '811-style automatic rifle' is the first unit distributed in the 'Beijing Garrison', and it is conceivable that this 'Red Army' is really a 'sharp knife', and all the troop transport vehicles have been replaced with 'Liberation 141.'
According to the order of the march, the third battalion was the last, the artillery battalion was driven away, and the seventh company was arranged by the third battalion commander Di Lei to the back of the battalion.
The cooking class is the last echelon of the seventh company, and the ninth class is behind the cooking class, as the deputy squad leader, Guo Xiaosong not only walked to the end of the class, but he also walked to the end of the entire 'iron and blood group'.
'Class deputy, where are we going?' Because they are not in the official queue, the soldiers of the ninth squad are still very free, and a recruit's backpack is one left and one right, with two small bundles of firewood, which belongs to the 'war preparation materials', which must be carried, even if it is cooking in the field, it cannot be used, Guo Xiaosong called it 'deaf ears-ornaments.' ’
"How do I know, like you, I have never participated in the exercise," Guo Xiaosong pinned a flat pole to the back of his backpack, because he was the tallest in the class, this flat pole was very long, and could only be carried by a big man.
'And what about you last year, didn't you participate in the drill last year?' ’
"Last year, I didn't get off the company last year, what nonsense are you talking about, hurry up, don't you see that there is no one behind us," Guo Xiaosong walked at the end as the deputy squad leader, in order to be able to supervise the recruits to move forward, each recruit has a 'Bayi bar' on his back, if he even loses his gun and people, it is not a small accident.
The fully armed march of the field army has always been 'one hundred during the day, eighty at night', but it is all Huali, the backpack is the heaviest burden on the march, and the components of the backpack are divided into, military quilts, mattresses, military coats, clothes to carry with you, rubber shoes, and 'rice bags' on both sides of the backpack.
Feet wear black 'two cotton shoes', the backpack is also stuck with 'big shoes', this is mutual, if you wear 'big shoes', 'two cotton shoes' will be stuck on the backpack, this series of substances is already very heavy, plus the carry-on 'bullet bag', which generally has three empty magazines, the right shoulder and left carry the military 'shoulder bag', the left shoulder and the right shoulder is filled with four coach grenades 'grenade bag'. ’
The marching route of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' was to a certain mountain range in HB Province, and the command of the 'Red Army' was arranged according to the standard of marching in '80 during the day and 50 in the evening', after all, the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' was no better than the field army troops, and there was no need to run so fast.
