Chapter 234 The Story of Correspondent Xu Shun Part [-]

"Platoon leader, wait for me, I'm going to get two meat buns"

At the exit of the cafeteria, Niu Ding was dumbfounded when he saw the two extra meat buns in his platoon leader's hands. Waste of food is not allowed in the army, and anyone who didn't finish eating would be scolded or even punished, so he just stuffed food into his mouth desperately. .

But Niu Ding just remembered at this time that they are on a mission today and don’t need training, so they can take a few more buns in their hands. Although it is summer and they can’t eat overnight, they can still leave it for half a day It's colder for lunch.

"hurry up"

Xu Shun smiled and put his two big buns into the lunch box he had just received.

Soon Niu Ding took two more buns from the cafeteria, and the two handed the task order to the guard at the cafeteria door, and then walked all the way to the temporary stable, where was the starting point for leaving the division headquarters.

"Has the route been planned?"

On the way to the temporary stables, Xu Shun, who was full of food and drink, touched his stomach and asked about Niu Ding's mission plan. The most important thing for a signal soldier is to plan a route. He must complete the mission as soon as possible and avoid the devil's search , but also to ensure the safety of yourself and your horse.

He wanted to train him early to be the deputy platoon leader.

"Planned"

Niu Ding also touched his stomach and nodded.

"Tell me"

Xu Shun raised his chin.

"We are going to Ze County. The total distance is 230 kilometers. It is [-] kilometers from the division headquarters to Mingzi Mountain. This road is a good mountain road opened by the transport brigade. It can be reached in one day by horseback. There are several water sources on the road. Don't worry about the horses drinking water"

Niu Ding recalled the mission route he made after looking at the map.

"Well, go ahead"

Xu Shun nodded in satisfaction, motioning for Niu Ding to continue.

Communication soldiers are not easy to do. Short-distance communication tasks are fine, but long-distance communication tasks have extremely high requirements for communication soldiers. The journey of hundreds of kilometers is no joke. Devils, bandits, and dangerous places all need to be considered, and there are still other things to consider to the horses and to myself.Now that you can bring feed, you don’t have to worry too much about the food, the key is the water source.People can still carry a few catties of water for a few days, but running horses can't do it. They need to drink at least dozens of catties of water every day, so there must be sufficient water sources for long distances.Otherwise, there will be big problems if the horse does not have enough water to drink after running at high speed.

"After arriving at Mingzi Mountain, it is the territory of the devils. Let's rest for half a day, and then set off at midnight. The devil patrols will not go out at this point. We can travel through the road at night. Six hours is enough for us to run [-] kilometers to Gardenia. Mountains, there are three rivers on the road, don’t worry about drinking water”

"Gardenia Mountain is surrounded by dense forests, and there is a newly formed guerrilla group here. We can contact them and continue to take the road at night after a day's rest..."

"Okay, let's go according to your plan"

Niu Ding deserved to be the communication platoon leader's substitute specially selected by Xu Shun. Although the route he arranged was not perfect, it was still quite good.After Xu Shun pointed out a few relatively big problems, he decided to go this way.

"Ah! Platoon leader, this..."

Niu Ding was a little flustered by the platoon leader's decision. Although he used to travel long distances with his father, there were no devils at that time, and he would only run tens of kilometers at most. The 200-odd road journey followed his plan. Some are not confident.

"It's okay, I'll go with you, if there's any problem, I'll take care of it"

Xu Shun patted Niu Ding on the shoulder and comforted him.

The correspondent can only grow if he runs more and accumulates more experience. Although he can see at a glance that there are many problems in this route plan, but these are not dangerous problems, and he can avoid danger in time with himself.

Mistakes pointed out are hard to be remembered, and only personal experience can make people remember them deeply, just as veterans cannot be trained through rigorous training, only after going to the battlefield can one become an excellent veteran.

While chatting, the two came to the temporary stable.

It is said that the temporary stables are actually more luxurious than the stables where the war horses were placed before. This place is newly built, and there is a reinforcement company guarding it at any time and anywhere, and a heavy machine gun is deployed, and there are a lot of sentries around.

Because here is the teacher's big treasure.

While leading the horse, Xu Shun subconsciously glanced into the stable.

The new stables are very clean, 150 of the [-] wooden compartments, large and small, live in a huge mule, and dozens of people are taking care of these mules, scrubbing their bodies and trimming their hooves.

Yes, mules, this heavily guarded stable is filled with mules.

These mules are different from common mules. The mules here are very big, very big. The broad back is at least twice the size of ordinary mules. You can lie on it and sleep. The huge head is unbelievably docile and never looks like other mules. Same howl.The most attractive thing is its thick and scary hooves, which are several times thicker than the legs of ordinary horses.As for the height, it was about the same as an ordinary mule, and even a little shorter.

Looking at those sturdy new mules, Xu Shun's eyes were full of envy, these are good mules.Even with half a ton of supplies on the camel and one person, you can run nearly [-] kilometers of mountain roads every day without breathing, and after a night of rest, you are still alive and well, and the next day is still a [-]-kilometer mountain road. It takes more than four days to go back and forth.Running six times a month, even if you walk on mountain roads, you can transport several tons of supplies a month.

There is nothing to say about using this kind of mule to pull a carriage. As long as one mule can pull a carriage loaded with three tons of supplies, it can also run a hundred kilometers a day without panting.

And the most important thing is that this kind of mule is easy to feed, not easy to get sick, can eat almost anything, and never loses its temper.

Originally, Xu Shun didn't believe it. He had raised mules before he joined the army. He naturally knew that although this kind of livestock was stronger than horses, it was not easy to take care of them. Mules were prone to illness, indigestion and temper tantrums.

Generally, a mule can hold up to the sky if it can carry two hundred catties, and it will be crushed if it is more than that. It is absolutely impossible to carry a thousand catties. It is impossible for a mule to run nearly [-] kilometers a day without a hunchback, let alone dragging a thousand catties or even walking a mountain road.

But the fact of a transportation mission told him that there really are such mules in the world.

It will not get sick, can eat weeds and leaves on the roadside, and can walk for a whole day after drinking a meal of water. It is obedient and obedient than humans.One hour on flat roads, a one-thousand-jin thing can travel ten kilometers per hour, and even mountain roads, as long as they are not too rough, can travel eight kilometers per hour.

The division's material prosperity now depends on these mules.

Therefore, if you want to use these mules, you must have a personal order from the teacher, and no one else can.

"Hey, it would be great if I could ride this kind of mule to run the mission."

Looking at the docile-looking mules in the stable, Xu Shun thought enviously, if he rode these mules, he could run a hundred kilometers a day!
