Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 506, Assisting in the Defense Change

Yang Xiaole looked at these nominations.

He didn't interrupt.

Aren’t there any educated youth serving as deputy captain of the brigade?
Have.

But that will take time.

It is said that the fastest one became the brigade secretary in half a year, and the deputy director of the commune in less than a year. There are quite a few people like this.

But after all, he has only been here for more than a month.

Of course he won't be there.

really.

There are three nominees.

The militia captain and public security director are Xie Hongbing, the women's director is Wang Guilan, and the accountant is Chen Guoxi.

Wang Guilan is relatively weaker.

After all, she is a woman, and in this age when women do not show their faces in public, she is relatively weaker.

The personnel were decided in this way.

In theory, villagers are required to participate in brigade elections, but the actual participation rate is very low.

The production team leader, on the other hand, was very involved.

The speed of the train depends entirely on the locomotive.

The production team leader occupies a very important position in a team. If his performance does not satisfy the members, a new one will be elected that year.

But this is now.

Later on, the participation rate became lower and lower.

Then they talked about some things about spring plowing and preparation, and mentioned that the brigade's medical officer would be replaced by Yang Xiaole.

There is one more thing, that is, the brigade primary school will reopen next year.

As for the selection of teachers, they will naturally be chosen from the educated youth, and a meeting will be held later to discuss who will substitute teach.

Two teachers are substituting for the class.

Two people teach all the students in the three grades of primary school.

As for how to bring it, I don’t know.

Finally, the candidates for the brigade’s agency store continued to be recruited, and the previous clamor was continued.

For purchasing goods, the brigade would arrange horse-drawn carriages to go to the commune to purchase goods.

The meeting ended quickly.

After everyone left, Xie Laosi said to Yang Xiaole, "You will train the educated youth first. I will give you two days off in a few days and give you a certificate. Go to the county health center to buy a medicine box and a stethoscope. You can buy any other medicine you like."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Did you buy it before the New Year?"

Xie Lao Si thought for a moment and said, "We'll see what happens then! Let Lao Xu take you to the county town."

The arrival of these educated youth has indeed injected some vitality into the brigade. Many positions that could not find suitable people can now be found.

"No, I came back from the county last time and I know the way."

Yang Xiaole refused the offer to go with him.

"OK?"

"Hey, don't worry, I've been here several times, how could I not know the way? Besides, what's the point of having a mouth?"

In fact, the roads in the mountains are winding.

But because only the main roads are heavily traveled, you can still find it as long as you know the general direction and ask for directions.

After hearing what he said, Xie Laosi thought about it.

Finally, he agreed: "Okay, when we go to the city, you drive the car. If you really know the way, you can go by yourself next time if something happens."

Yang Xiaole hummed, thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Captain, who do you think the communal society will elect as the captain?"

Hearing this, Xie Lao Si took a puff of welding smoke and said with a smile: "This is the leader's business, how can I know, but ah, whoever is chosen, they are all people from our team."

Yang Xiaole thought for a while after hearing this.

I knew who it was.

It must be Chen Guoxi.

Compared with the deputy captain, Xie Laosi cares more about Xie Hongbing.

The gun and the pen have always been very important.

I didn't care about that.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he just left.

Xie Hongbing came along.

At this time, everyone was fiddling with guns.

While he was busy, Yang Xiaole suddenly remembered, "Oh, Hongbing, where are the bear's skin and gallbladder?"

"Oh, the bear skin is given to Uncle Xu. He has someone make it with nitrate. When it's done, I'll give it to you. You killed it, but I'll keep the bear gallbladder! You can either sell it or keep it for your medicinal use."

Xie Hongbing was taking the gun and disassembling it.

As for the bear paws, they were naturally divided among the educated youth.

Because the people in the village don't want it.

Everyone knows that bear paws are delicious, but the problem is that some people in the village have eaten this thing, and if it is not cooked well, it is not much different from eating pig's feet.

If you take the bear's paw, you can't take the meat.

Might as well replace it with meat.

City dwellers, having heard of the famous dish called bear paw, would naturally come over.

He doesn't particularly like this thing.

In fact, he had eaten this thing in Hong Kong Island before. It was indeed delicious, but it was not the kind that was so delicious that it was explosive.

He really didn't feel it.

Maybe the chefs in Hong Kong Island are not professional.

The day ended at noon with a lesson on how to use firearms.

The remaining educated youth were busy rehearsing performances and building a stage at the entrance of the village, waiting for the New Year's Day performance.

Although it is winter, everyone is busy there.

Without firing bullets, formation training is naturally the main task of these people.

Because there are only thirty rounds of bullets a year, they will not be replenished except in special circumstances.

Yang Xiaole was surprised at first that there were so few.

But if you calculate carefully, you will know why they don’t send so much.

too poor.

A bullet costs 1 cent.

The price is really not expensive.

But if there are 84 militiamen in the entire brigade and each of them has 30 rounds, that would be 252 yuan.

Three yuan per person.

This is still the basics and does not include target shooting, training, and various special situations.

During the last training exercise, we fired probably hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition.

More than ten thousand yuan is gone.

The more than ten thousand yuan at this time is real money!
There are many small factories in the city that earn less than 10,000 yuan a year.

If we calculate this way, the consumption of ammunition will be very high as everyone becomes a soldier starting this year or next year.

If you calculate carefully, the pressure on the country is indeed huge.

However, Xie Hongbing also said that the basic bullets are 10 rounds, and every three months there are 20 rounds of training bullets for target practice.

In other words, after they have used up the 20 bullets for training, they can report and apply for another 20 bullets within three months.

And there are regulations in the militia.

In order to develop sharpshooters among the militia.

You may consider supplying more if necessary.

In fact, this number is not small at all, especially because it is a special period now.

He remembered that after the reform and opening up, many troops fired only a few rounds of bullets a year. He was not sure how many were more, but some fired only thirty or forty, or fifty or sixty. He once saw a unit that only fired 15 rounds of bullets a year.

……

For several days, everyone was busy there.

New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Yang Xiaole and a few others left the dormitory amid the envious expressions of Wang Laoer and his group.

Because we have target practice today.

They had been touching guns for three or four days until everyone couldn't hold it anymore.

It just so happens that the militia company is also going to have target practice.

It was originally scheduled for the first few days of the Chinese New Year.

The educated youth kept clamoring for it, and finally the number was changed to 29.

All the militiamen in the brigade are present.

And today, quite a few people joined the team.

I didn't come to watch them shoot, but because today, after a few days of stocking and sorting, the brigade agency store finally opened before the New Year. The brigade agency store, which had been closed for two or three years, reopened.

Come and join in the fun even if you don’t want to buy anything!
At this time, Yang Xiaole and his group were gathering in the brigade's yard.

The educated youth militiamen were not usually here, and after a chaotic queue, they divided the team into three short lines.

There are six female soldiers.

There were two pairs of men, each with seven people.

Including Yang Xiaole, there are exactly 21 people.

Seeing that most people were there, Xie Hongbing began to give orders.

"All teammates, stand at attention, at ease... count down"

"one two three……"

Everyone started counting.

"There should be 31 people in a row, and there are 31 people actually. Please give instructions."

"The second row should have 32 people, and there are 32 people. Please give instructions."

"Third row, 21 people should be here, 21 people are here, please give instructions."

Yang Xiaole was naturally the last one to sign up.

This is the end.

This is the first time that all 84 people in the company are gathered together.

Seeing this, Xie Hongbing said, "All teammates, turn right and head to the Xiwazi shooting range. Run forward."

After receiving the order, everyone naturally trotted out of the compound.

Hurry towards an open space on the side of the mountain.

That is the shooting range that has been leveled out on the side of the mountain. Every militia training is held there, and the brigade's shooting practice is naturally also held here.

He arrived at the place in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

After all, they were militiamen, and they started chatting there after they arrived.

Yang Xiaole came with two other deputy company commanders to gather and arrange how to shoot.

Ma Shiyou and Zhang Liang’s response was, of course, that each team should practice shooting according to the previous rules.

Five bullets per person.

It's just a board, there is no scoring, and you pass only if you hit all of them.

All hits on the head are excellent.

The head is actually a smaller round wooden board on the board.

Someone went to put a target on someone.

The next target shooting was naturally the same as the previous one.

But the goal is one hundred meters.

The last time we trained, we had a group of 50 people competing, and the results were mixed.

But change it to one hundred meters.

The level plummeted.

Missing targets was common, and even the militia was only slightly better.

After all, the militia is more focused on training in formations, and the number of shooting opportunities is limited.

But everyone has different talents.

Some of them hit the target and also hit the head.

After a shooting session, many of the educated youth militiamen were dejected.

Because the results are not very good.

Xie Hongbing gathered several leaders together.

He said, "When the results are calculated, I will have someone send them to you. Okay, now that we have had enough fun, let's go back first. The team's sales store is now open, and you can buy what you want now."

After the brief meeting, everyone led their teams back. At this time, many children from the village gathered around the shooting range.

Yang Xiaole looked at the team and said to Xie Hongbing, "Captain Xie, can we not shoot at targets during the next shooting training?"

Hearing this, Xie Hongbing was confused.

"Not shooting at targets? Then what to shoot at?"

Yang Xiaole looked at the nearby mountainous area and said, "We don't have many bullets to begin with. My suggestion is that I take our educated youth militia company to the mountains to see if there are any prey. If there is nothing, we won't shoot. If we can kill prey, that would be the best!"

Ma Shiyou frowned, "You educated youth have so many things to do. Do you really think that things are so easy to deal with? It's like this every year. When it comes to you, it's time to change."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Deputy Captain Ma, what we educated youth militia do seems to have nothing to do with you! Besides, am I wrong? Shooting animals is the same as shooting at targets. Why not use these precious bullets on the prey?"

They were originally educated youth.

There are actually some differences between them and the production team militia.

Moreover, in theory, only Xie Hongbing could manage him in the entire brigade, not even the brigade commander.

"You~~"

Ma Shiyou was annoyed.

However, thinking that the other party was a warehouse keeper and a clerk, he finally endured it.

Xie Hongbing looked at him and hesitated.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole looked around and said, "Besides, didn't we see a tiger before? Let's take a look around. If we can kill the tiger, that would be the best!"

Xie Hongbing thought about it and shook his head: "No, this doesn't comply with the regulations! How can we calculate the results?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole grinned and said, "Captain, let's give it a try. When I was walking back that day, I saw wild boar footprints on the road. Let's go and take a look!"

This is true.

He knew the locations of several nearby wild boar dens.

They generally don't travel far this winter.

Xie Hongbing thought about it, then said, "Let's see later. I'm going back first."

Then he took his men away.

After everyone left, Guard Zhao asked, "Hey, how is it?"

Everyone else looked curious.

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "No, I'll go talk to him later. I can't refuse to let you go."

Been here for over a month.

Now that I have finally gotten a gun legally, how can I not go out and have some fun?

How boring it is to be alone!
Song Liang was listening nearby and said with a smile: "It's nothing, they have patrols anyway! Can't we just change someone?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

Of course he knew this. Last time, because of the tiger incident, the militia often had to send a few people to the nearby mountains to check.

If that doesn't work, ask the militia to take over.

Everyone walked towards the village, talking and laughing.

However, when they were halfway there, they saw Xie Hongbing and a man driving a sled communicating there.

The others have already entered the village.

Ma Shiyou and Zhang Liang were standing not far away watching.

After Yang Xiaole came over, he asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"Oh, the communications soldier from the People's Armed Forces Department!"

While I was thinking, the other party said hello and drove away on the sled.

After everyone left, he saw Xie Hongbing coming over with a frown on his face and a piece of paper in his hand.

After coming over, looking at the few people, Xie Hongbing said directly: "It just so happens that the three of you are here. The commune has notified you to assist in the rotation."

Ma Shiyou frowned, "Why do we need to assist in the shift again? How long will it take this time? Where are we going?"

Seeing this, Xie Hongbing said, "It's the same place as last time, and the time will be three months."

Then he glanced at the puzzled Yang Xiaole and said, "Before, because the border defense pressure here was very high, the militia needed to assist the border defense company in patrolling. The commune has tasks, but there has been no patrol for a long time.

Moreover... the notice stipulates that the educated youth militia and our militia need to send out the ten people with the best performance in the last assessment, excluding female comrades."

Yang Xiaole frowned.

Looked at Xie Hongbing.

Xie Hongbing didn't say anything, but looked at a few people and said, "Okay, go upstairs and have a meeting."

Hearing this, several people walked towards the village.

Xie Hongbing walked a little behind as he walked beside Yang Xiaole and said, "You must go. According to the regulations, a deputy company commander must be sent to lead the team each time you go. At the same time, you were the one with the best performance among us in the last assessment."

After that, he said directly: "I think it's directed at you~ It should be because of the incident you caused in the commune last time."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked, "When are we going? Today?"

"Oh, no! It's after the Chinese New Year, on the 22nd, which is the sixth day of the first lunar month. We still need time to prepare!"

"Where is the location?"

"Xifengling, I told you you don't know it! It just so happens that Uncle Xu is going to deliver supplies to the border guards tomorrow. I'll take you there tomorrow morning. It's not far from where we dug the electric poles last time."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Well, what about the warehouse matter and other matters?"

Xie Hongbing thought for a moment and said, "Go up first, and we'll discuss it later. You don't necessarily have to go."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the village.
