Volume 3: Xilin's Journey Chapter 172: The Victorious Assembly (II)
、、、、、、、
are all men who have come down from the battlefield, and they have seen too much life and death, but no one can really look down on life and death, but they value rare encounters even more, after all, I don't know when we will meet next time, and I don't know how many people here will be less. Because of this mood, the soldiers in the nightclub drank wine recklessly, shouted songs, and scolded their mothers, and in the midst of this bustle, the last few officers and cadets finally arrived at the party site.
The last one to arrive was Zhou Yu, and the officers who were sitting around got up one after another, greeted the commander of the graduation military exercise with a smile, and then noticed that he was followed by a Xilin officer, and the two looked a little similar.
Xu Le stood up, opened his arms and hugged Zhou Yu, and Bai Yulan beside him also smiled, they had worked together tacitly in the engineering department of the port capital for a long time, and they could be regarded as real old friends.
"Zhou Jin, my brother, is now working at the Xilin Command. Zhou Yu's warm and amiable face, in the lilac blurry light, still looked so calm, he introduced the people around him loudly, and then brought Zhou Jin to Xu Le's side.
Xu Le raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the officer named Zhou Jin, thought of the journey that escaped from the Donglin Region many years ago, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, meet again." ”
Zhou Jin looked at this simple face, shook his head in some surprise and sighed: "I heard Zhou Yu mention you a few times, and I have often heard the name Xu Le on TV in the past six months, and I always feel a little weird in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be you...... The veterans on the Ancient Bell have now become Federation heroes. ”
A few years ago, Xu Le fled from the Donglin Region, and because of the small watermelon, he had a conflict with the students of the Xilin Military Academy. After a few years, Zhou Jin was stunned to confirm that such a big change had taken place in his person, and the shock was very real.
Zhou Yu and the officers around him were a little surprised, could it be that these two people had met before? Zhou Jin laughed at himself, and briefly mentioned the story that happened on the ancient bell ship back then, which caused a lot of emotion among everyone, and their gaze at Xu Le became even more strange.
- Instructor Xu was just a squatting soldier back then?
............ Bai Yulan poured wine into the cup on the table, Zhou Yu hurriedly said thank you, sat next to Xu Le and whispered, "I may be transferred to the Iron Seventh Division." ”
The officers and students present probably didn't have a good impression of Du Shaoqing and his Iron Seventh Division, and the members of the seventh group from the Seventeenth Division were even more so, so Zhou Yu's voice was extremely low. Xu Le was slightly stunned, and asked with a frown: "Your current establishment is in the First Military Region?"
"Yes. Zhou Yu replied.
"But you are a student sent to the First Academy by Xilinxuan, how could Commander Zhong agree to the Iron Seventh Division digging you up. ”
Xu Le rubbed his eyebrows. During the graduation military exercise last year, Du Shaoqing personally went down to test Zhou Yu's ability to deduce tactics, and on the surface, it seemed that he was suppressing the arrogance of the officers and students.
Zhou Yu picked up the wine glass, with a hint of heaviness in his calm expression, and said in a low voice: "The direct order of the Ministry of Defense is too stressful. ”
Xu Le picked up the wine glass in his hand and touched it lightly with him, drank it all, licked his lips that were a little tingling, shook his head and said with a smile: "I think it's still the meaning of Mo Chou Houshan, the Iron Seventh Division does have a future." ”
Seeing that he pointed out the crux of the matter, Zhou Yu couldn't help but bow his head and laugh at himself, raised his neck to clear the wine in the cup, spit out the wine, and muttered, "I can't help myself." ”
Xu Le and Zhou Yu usually have email contact, so they don't have to say too much at this time, and it is impossible for those officers who come to drink from time to time to give them too many opportunities to whisper.
After countless rounds of drinking, the delicate girls in the nightclub have no chance to show their charm, and the soldiers who come together are drinking wine and telling their troops' experiences on the front line with red eyes.
How red is the blood of the comrades-in-arms at a certain cliff carving, how the imperial cub fortifications are defeated in a certain mountain forest, how cold the bodies of the comrades-in-arms are at a certain river beach, and the whole field is filled with a magnificent and sad atmosphere, iron and blood mixed with sadness, and a proud and solemn atmosphere between the songs.
This place is only suitable for spirits, songs, and battles, and it is not suitable for red powder.
The officers drank and indulged, recounting each other's life trajectories after leaving the base, returning to their respective units, pulling to the front, and participating in the tragic battles...... Xu Le sat in the middle of the crowd and listened silently, listening to the exploits of these former students, knowing that most of them had been promoted now, and their hearts were a little drunk by alcohol, and naturally there were a lot of feelings of pride and satisfaction.
The fastest to advance was Heray, the lieutenant colonel in his thirties who had drunk a lot of alcohol at this time and could only giggle, and his troops had taken on extremely heavy tasks, and they fought extremely hard and beautifully on 3320. Among the remaining officers there are already deputy regimental commanders, staff officers from divisional headquarters, and even more battalion commanders of reinforced battalions, and they will presumably be further promoted after the upcoming commendation meeting.
"Helei, you're only in your early thirties, and you're already the lieutenant colonel, how do you let the brothers mess up?" Lin Ai leaned his legs on the table, holding a bottle of red pearl red wine like a child, and shouted loudly with the smell of alcohol.
Heray forcibly opened his eyes that were about to be opened, and said with a smile: "The instructor is only in his twenties, and he is already a lieutenant colonel, why don't you ask him?"
"Damn, who can compare to that monster?" Lan Xiaolong, who was grabbing French fries and stuffing them into his mouth to suppress the rumbling wine in his stomach, said disdainfully: "We don't have Crazy Li here." ”
"That's true. Miserius, who was known for his sour nature in the training base, looked at Hurley mockingly and said, "And I estimate that you will get at most two medals at this commendation conference, and if you want to be promoted to colonel, there is no chance?"
"Why?" one of the seven team members expressed his confusion, thinking that with the exploits of Heley's automatic regiment, promotion in the firing line should be a common thing.
"It's simple. Zhou Yu interjected with a smile, "Because our instructor is only a lieutenant colonel." The seventh group did a beautiful job of laying the net on 163, and it stands to reason that he should be promoted, but the problem is that he is too young, and the Ministry of Defense always has to take care of the media, so it is impossible for him to take his turn this time. ”
"Haven't I suffered a loss now?" Herre muttered, suddenly staggering to his feet, sat down between Xu Le and Miss Lulu, hugged Xu Le's shoulders and asked loudly, "Instructor, I heard that you destroyed the Charter Bureau?"
"It's all nonsense, the Chartist can destroy it? It's just a beating up of a Chartist Bureau official. Xiong Linquan replied in a rough voice.
Except for our instructors, who would dare to beat up those bastard Charter Bureau officials. ”
Herre's eyes widened in admiration, and the officers around him were in great emotion, and began to bang the table desperately to show their excitement, and then began to howl like some animal.
Xu Le shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to the madness of these people, he squinted his eyes and counted for a long time, always feeling that in addition to those guys who were killing the enemy on the front line, there should be two or three people missing. However, just after he asked, the audience suddenly fell silent.
"The two of them died at 3320, and the main force of the Imperial Expeditionary Force carried out a counterattack for fourteen consecutive days, and the ground troops were under too much pressure, and finally they personally controlled MX to rush up, and the position was preserved...... But they didn't come back. ”
Hua Xiaosi lowered his head and turned the wine glass, explaining to Xu Le: "Chang San is also dead. It's the officer of the Iron Seventh Division who fought you on the field last time. ”
Zhou Yu said softly on the side: "I heard that he came to the front line from the S1 transport ship after recuperating from his injuries, and as soon as he was included in the Iron Seventh Division, the operation on 5460 began, it seems that during the first sniper battle in Huangshanling, he was bombarded by the Imperial Mecha A big stone was directly buried in the mountain, and his body was not dug out." ”
Xu Le squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time, thinking that when he was holding the black MX and flying like a bullet on the gentle slope, the proud and tenacious officer had died silently, perhaps the place where he died was not far from himself at that time.
He raised his full wine glass, drank it slowly, then rubbed his nose and said, "Take another hundred bottles of good wine." ”
The officers in the room were silent, and at the same time raised their glasses, and drank the wine in the glass neatly.
............ The nightclub was full of wreckage, and it was lively, and the seven groups of new team members sat on the periphery and held the girl to drink, looking over there from time to time, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes from time to time, they envied the old team members and the commanders in these troops could actually get together, and they envied the supervisor Xu Le for being able to get the respect of so many fierce people from the bottom of their hearts.
Although their family background is extraordinary, their parents are rich and powerful, and they will not be timid when they see characters such as the regiment commander in the future, but they have been in the army for a long time, and they are mostly affected by the atmosphere of the barracks, and they are always a little envious and yearning.
"Watching you run behind the director's ass every day, I really didn't expect that you still hold a grudge against him. ”
From the symbol to Xi Peng's side with a complicated expression, he frowned and said: "Forget it, although I hated him a lot at the beginning, but after all, he is from a unit, without these guys, we are only afraid of how many times we will die." ”
"I don't hold a grudge. Xi Peng rubbed his hair, looked at Xu Le, who was already drunk not far away and collapsed in the girl's arms, and said angrily: "I have to help my friend's business...... Besides, it's just to let him make a joke, let us show our original evil anger, and won't let him lose a piece of meat?"
"Don't worry. He took a sip of wine with some tastelessness and said, "I am also a member of the seventh group, and I will not do anything to betray my comrades." ”
From the symbol shrugged, he didn't persuade anything more, and he was right, anyway, there were already a lot of scandals on his supervisor, and one more was not a big deal.
