Chapter 81 Dinner
The infantry chariot circled the clearing in the forest, and stopped at an accurately placed position amidst the smoke and dust that rolled out from the sky.

Yuan Lang was the first to jump off the chariot, and he didn't walk away, watching the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company jump off the chariot one by one.

Yuan Lang stopped Xu Sanduo and Li Bing: "Hey, you two, should you return my weapon to me?"

Li Bing took off the 95 rifle on his body reluctantly.

"Do you like this gun?" Yuan Lang asked.

Li Bing nodded. A person who touches a gun is always curious about an untouched firearm.

"Want it?"

Li Bing said: "Yes, but this is the property of the army."

Yuan Lang smiled and shook his head: "I mean, are you interested in going to our place?"

The soldiers of the third squad were almost close at hand, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely dull. Yuan Lang suddenly raised an extremely sensitive question in front of the crowd- poaching corners.

Li Bing's answer made them breathe a sigh of relief: "I am the 950th soldier of the Seventh Steel Company."

Yuan Lang asked Xu Sanduo again: "What about you, Xu Sanduo?"

"I am the 950th soldier of the Seventh Steel Company."

"That's your answer, isn't it?"

Xu Sanduo hummed softly.

Li Bing replied: "Yes."

Yuan Lang smiled, and walked towards Gao Cheng who was walking over.

Gao Chengdao: "Let's have dinner at night."

Yuan Lang said: "We don't get together."

Gao Cheng was polite but not warmly invited: "How about... come together?"

Yuan Lang shook his head: "Forget it, the wine for apologizing is not good."

A high-mobility off-road vehicle drove into the open space. This thing was another novelty for Steel Seventh Company, which was used to reloading tracked vehicles.

Because there is a heavy machine gun mounted on it.

The driver Qi Huan drove the car directly to the side of the two: "Report to the captain, I will take you back to the camp."

Yuan Lang looked at his watch: "What time do you leave?"

"Eight fifteen."

"Are there any liquid grenades in the car?"

"There are still four boxes."

"Move it down to them."

Qi Huan asked, "Take it all?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "En."

Qi Huan was neat and tidy, and moved four cases of beer from the back compartment twice.

Yuan Lang said to Gao Cheng: "Commander Gao, I'll take my leave first. This is to express a little meaning to the brothers of the Seventh Company. I hope there will be opportunities to meet again in the future."

Gao Cheng looked at the four boxes of Tsingtao Beer with a half-smile, and said, "Is the standard of Old A higher than that of Old Bu?"

Yuan Lang had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth: "Why don't we all want to come to Old A."

Gao Cheng watched the car disappear into the twilight, and turned to look for someone: "Director, pick the best four boxes of our apples and send them over."

The chief secretary said: "It's time for dinner."

"Then send it over after eating, it's a courtesy." Gao Cheng turned and left.

……

The sun was setting slowly, and the most active part of the camp was the cooking team, who were busily busy beside the cooking truck.

The soldiers participating in the confrontation now have a relaxed expression. Some barracks can hear the sound of harmonicas and guitars, as well as loud singing.

In order to maintain the position of the sharp knife, the steel seven company has been training very tightly. It is difficult to have such leisure time, to be able to do nothing and wait for the meal. This is really a paradise for the steel seven company.

Cheng Cai was sitting behind the chariot and cleaning his sniper rifle.

After Xu Sanduo found him, he found that he didn't know what to say.

Cheng Cai lovingly fiddled with the slender rifle, and wiped off a trace of dust that no one could feel except him.

He asked Xu Sanduo to look at the 85 sniper rifle in his hand: "Look, is it beautiful?"

Xu Sanduo praised sincerely: "It's so beautiful!"

Listening to those guitars and singing in the twilight, Chengcai's eyes were blurred, and he wanted to cry.

"How nice it sounds," Chengcai said, "I've always wanted to learn guitar, and sometimes I dreamed that I was learning, but when I woke up I knew I didn't have time, because I was a sniper, and if I wanted to be a sniper, I would do my best. that one."

Chengcai stroked the 85 sniper in his hand and continued, "I spend all my time on it. Every time I want to play the guitar, I think, I am the best at using guns among all the people, and I still have to do it." The best one. Now I see that lieutenant colonel... see him shoot..."

Cheng Cai imitated Yuan Lang's posture with a gun in a daze. For a pretentious shooter, it was really an unacceptable nightmare.

The other shooter, hundreds of meters away, was as comfortable and fast as shooting a pistol within ten meters, as if he hadn't aimed at all.

This exercise was "killed", and he felt that he had no hope of becoming a non-commissioned officer in the No. [-] Steel Company.

Xu Sanduo stared blankly at his friend, not knowing how to comfort him.

Li Bing came over.

Cheng Cai took a look: "Are you here to laugh at me?"

Li Bing said bluntly: "Chengcai, no matter how you look at me, I have never regarded you as an enemy. Because you are a soldier of the Seventh Steel Company, and so am I. We are comrades-in-arms. In fact, everyone lives in a small circle. , Count the people around you. What you can meet in this life is fate. If you really make a decision, I will not stop you. This may be the way you want to go, or it may be the only way, you Only then can you find your own life.”

Chengcai didn't expect Li Bing to say that, and was a little dazed.

Li Bing continued: "I came to you, not to persuade you, nor to laugh at you, but I sincerely hope that you can regard me as a comrade-in-arms, not just a competitor."

After finishing speaking, Li Bing left. He still needed to help the cook in the cooking class. Shen Gang and Shen Tie said that he would teach him cooking skills.

Xu Sanduo looked at the silent Chengcai and said, "Chengcai, why don't you think about it again?"

Chengcai shook his head resolutely: "Xu Sanduo, I've decided, I'm going to the Red Third Company, I'm going to find the third company commander now..."

……

At night, the lights were turned on in the barracks, and the banquet of the Seventh Company began.

This time the dinner was held on the side of the open-air parking lot, and several headlights were turned to this side for illumination, which added a bit of gold and steel to the dinner.

Chief Secretary Zhou Fu yelled loudly, and the cooking team brought up the dishes in steel food boxes one by one. They were not delicacies from mountains and seas, but big pot dishes cooked with the simplest ingredients.

However, there is enough meat and alcohol, which is full of the open-minded habits of field troops.

When the meal whistle sounded, everyone lined up, their morale was high, and the song before the meal was very loud, tens of decibels higher than before.

Following the password, everyone walked to their seats in an orderly manner. After the last comrade stood still, the platoon leader on duty issued the command "sit", and the officers and soldiers of the entire company sat down one by one.

Gao Cheng raised the lunch box containing wine to his Seventh Company soldiers.

"Brothers of the Seventh Company!" he roared violently.

"Here!" All the soldiers of the company responded in unison, raising the wine boxes in their hands.

Gao Cheng said: "I thought I wouldn't know how to eat at first. What kind of meal will our regiment have if we lose a battle? But the instructor said, especially when we lose a battle, we have to have dinner to boost morale."

Hong Xingguo at the side felt that it was not good to say so, so he secretly stabbed him.

"I said yes! But the morale of the Seventh Steel Company has been stretched for more than 50 years. Is the morale of the Seventh Steel Company still need to be boosted?"

"No need!" The soldiers of the whole company roared like a nest exploded.

Hong Xingguo was happy that he could have such morale with just a few words, and nodded to Gaocheng.

Holding the lunch box, Gao Cheng continued: "So I propose, this first glass of wine, drink for our regiment's defeat! This glass of wine must be drunk by anyone who knows how to drink, because we don't want to fight a losing battle, but Already hit!"

Hong Xingguo tugged on his sleeve again, but Gao Cheng had already raised his neck and drank the juice dripping, so Hong Xingguo had no choice but to drink it too.

In an instant, there was the sound of drinking in the whole company.

"This second glass of wine is for a small victory, for the soldiers of our entire company. I once said that the Seventh Steel Company has made collective first-class merit three times. This time, my company fought for the 034 Heights. , Spelled out the entire company, fired up, the military region gave a collective first-class merit, I think it is worth it, I feel proud!"

He gulped and drank again.

The company commander brings wine, there is no one in the whole company who doesn't drink, it's another burst of drinking.

It is said to be two glasses, but it is actually two lunch boxes. One lunch box is a little more than one bottle. After two sips of more than two bottles, many people who drink lightly have already begun to shake their bodies.

Hong Xingguo was the first to shake.

Gao Cheng said: "You are the instructor, why do you have to say a few words and bring a glass of wine on this occasion?"

Although he was a little drunk, Hong Xingguo picked up the lunch box without hesitation: "This third cup... wine, I think we have to respect a soldier. This soldier usually works hard. When this exercise is about to end, It was also his insistence that convinced the regiment commander that our company's last charge and collective first-class merit were achieved. This person is Li Bing! Everyone respect him!"

Hong Xingguo took the lead, gulping down all the wine, drinking it boldly, and drinking it with arrogance.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The soldiers of Steel No. [-] Company shouted hello three times, saluted Li Bing, and then drank.

Li Bing immediately responded and drank up the wine in the lunch box.
