Who is the Soldier's Assault?

Chapter 21 The Old Horse's Past

"Password!"

Li Bing replied, "It's me."

The old horse recognized his accent, put away the gun, and said: "You just came here, and I haven't given you the password yet. Today's password is 'No. [-] in the world'. You say the world, and I reply to say No. [-]. Do you understand?"

Li Bing saluted: "Yes! Squad leader, I understand."

The old horse asked: "Are you full with a piece of cake? Why didn't you go back to sleep?"

"I'm full, thank you monitor."

"Thank you, as a squad leader, it is my responsibility and obligation to always care about everything about the soldiers in the squad." After Lao Ma finished speaking, he suddenly remembered his past.

Li Bing only knew that Lao Ma was the squad leader with the longest tenure in Hongsan and was also an excellent squad leader, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly came to the fifth squad in the grassland in a year and a half.

"Squad leader, why did you come here in the first place?"

After a moment of silence, he asked the question.

The old horse didn't answer, but asked instead: "How did you get here?"

"My recruit company assessment score is the bottom one."

Lao Ma nodded, Lao Wei, Xue Lin, and Li Meng were all assigned here after the recruit company did not perform well in the assessment...

It should be said that before he came, this place was a concentrated class of bad soldiers.

Moon stars are rare.

The old horse looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed: "I see that you have been depressed, and you must not like this place. Yes, there are no tanks or infantry vehicles here. No soldier would like this place."

Li Bing also raised his head and looked at the moon: "When I was in the recruit company, I usually performed very well, but when it came to the final assessment, I was running thin, so my performance was abnormal..."

The old horse has actually guessed it: "Li Bing, believe it or not, since you came here, from the first time I saw you, I have already guessed pretty well."

"Let me tell you, setbacks are inevitable in life. After the storm, there will be a rainbow. A failure in an assessment is really nothing. As long as you work hard, there will be hope! Come on, don't let this uniform down, don't waste you I really can't turn back time when I was young, if you reach the age of regret like me, it will be too late!"

Li Bing listened silently to these soul-warming chicken soups. He understood the truth, but it was not so easy to climb out from heaven to hell.

The old horse led Li Bing to patrol around the barracks: "You told your story, so let me tell you about my past. You must already know that I am the squad leader with the longest tenure in the third company of the Red Army. After being around for more than ten years, I know that I don't have many days left to hang around.

In the barracks, we had only two ways to go, either to try to stay, or to dawdle in a mediocre way, and finally leave.

The times are advancing, science is developing, the army is transforming, and the requirements for academic qualifications are also increasing. I don't have much education, and I can't go to a higher level by passing the military school entrance examination.

The instructors kept trying to keep me, and I desperately wanted to.So, a year and a half ago, I came to the grassland and came to the fifth class.

The instructor put me here and gave me such a paradise for poor soldiers. In fact, he wanted me to infect and influence these veterans, hoping that I could turn them into good soldiers one after another, so that I You can make a third-class merit, and maybe you can use this merit to transfer to the fourth period.

The instructor is right, this is a glorious and arduous task, flat and long.

The result... As you can see, I failed, I didn't change them, but was changed by them. "

The old horse looked a little lonely.

Li Bing finally found out about Lao Ma's past, and it turned out that this was the reason why he came to Class [-] on the Grassland.

"Squad leader Ma, I think you are excellent, and you are a good squad leader."

The old horse patted him on the shoulder, "It's getting late, go back to sleep. Don't think too much, it's not a big deal. Looking forward, everything will get better."

Li Bing nodded and went back to sleep.

Maybe chatting can really heal, Li Bing fell asleep soon after returning...

……

The next day, Li Meng was awakened by the sound of Xu Sanduo getting up.

Li Meng looked at the time, and at 5:30 in the morning, he closed his eyes that had just been opened.

Xue Lin also woke up, and whispered: "Xu Sanduo, this is not a company of recruits, there is no need to wake up so early."

While tying his shoelaces, Xu Sanduo said, "Aren't you going to get up? Why is there no wake-up number? Also, don't you have morning exercises?"

Old Wei rubbed his bleary eyes, he was still asleep, and muttered: "Xu Mumu, remember from now on, there is no morning exercise in Grassland Class [-]."

Xu Sanduo shook Li Bing who was on the lower bunk: "Li Bing, why didn't you take the cold medicine last night? Did you feel better? If you feel better, come out with me for morning exercises."

Li Bing slept too late last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, and he just came out of the "exhausted dog" recruit company, so why can't he relax?
Li Bing gave Xu Sanduo a reason not to go: "Xu Sanduo, I don't feel well, so I won't go for morning exercises, you can go by yourself."

Xu Sanduo stretched out his hand to try his forehead, but it wasn't hot, but he knew that Li Bing had been diagnosed with a serious illness some time ago, so he didn't force it, and went to do morning exercises by himself.

On this wasteland, the huts of the fifth class in the grassland are very abrupt, revealing the disharmony with the surrounding natural environment, and it seems that sooner or later they will be swallowed up by this too vast space.

Sunrise and sunset, the sunshine here is very good. Under the morning sun, some red copper ore is exposed on the hills of the grassland, and the semi-desert land in the distance shows green vitality, and the scenery is vast and magnificent.

Xu Sanduo ran a five kilometers and was already out of breath.

He watched the sunrise, faced the sun, and started to kick forward. The first posture he practiced reminded him of a sentence Wu Liuyi said not long ago in the recruit company: "I can't let you kick all the way smoothly like this." Abduct to the new company?"

To be honest, he is playing much better now than before.

……

Li Meng sat on the bunk, smoking a cigarette, staring at Xu Sanduo's tidy bed, dazed.

The old horse rolled down from the upper bunk and looked at Li Meng: "Why are you in a daze?"

"I'm not in a daze." Li Meng replied dissatisfied, "When you thought I was in a daze, I was actually thinking."

The old horse gave him a sideways look, and he didn't even bother to ask, he knew that Li Meng would definitely say what he was thinking next.

Sure enough, Li Meng didn't stop: "I'm thinking about how long people's inertia and inertia can last, and how long can Xu Sanduo, a recruit, maintain his internal affairs?"

When it comes to internal affairs, Lao Ma looked at the things in the house again, and found that there were some changes, except that the place where a few people slept was messy, the room had been tidied up, the tables and chairs had been tidied up, and the messy cards had been stacked.

Only one person did it, because only Xu Sanduo got up early and folded the bedding.

The old horse said to Li Meng: "Look at your bed, it's like a dog chewing on it, it's a mess."

On the other two beds, Old Wei and Xue Lin were still covering their heads with pillows, and would not open their eyes until the last second.

Wearing a military overcoat, Li Meng glanced at Li Bing who was sleeping next door, and continued to smoke fiercely with a deep expression on his face: "He is also a recruit, why is there such a big gap? Look at Li Bing, who is going to do as the Romans so soon!"

The old horse suddenly smelled the smell of cigarettes, and looked at the cigarette case in Li Meng's hand: "Your boy is smoking Yuxi? Give me one... No, where did this cigarette come from?"

"I bought it." Li Meng didn't even blush when she lied.

"Damn you! The nearest cigarette shop is twelve kilometers away. Did you take Xu Sanduo?!"

Xu Sanduo came in dripping with sweat.

The old horse snatched the cigarette, looked back at Xu Sanduo who was drenched all over, and asked, "Why did you go?"

Xu Sanduo said happily: "I went out for morning exercises."

The old horse held up the cigarette case in his hand: "Xu Sanduo, Li Meng forgot to return the cigarette to you."

"I don't smoke, Li Meng smokes." Xu Sanduo took the cigarette and stuffed it back to Li Meng.

Li Meng placed another one beautifully, and then he was stunned because Xu Sanduo was folding his quilt.

"Don't move my quilt." He yelled.

Xu Sanduo's hand still didn't stop, and he said in his mouth: "The squad leader said that we should help each other on internal affairs."

Li Meng turned back and stared at the old horse: "What did you say?"

The old horse shook his head.

Xu Sanduo replied: "Squad leader Wu of the recruit company said."

Li Meng froze for two seconds, then ran over to compete with Xu Sanduo to make the quilt, for nothing else, it was a matter of face.
