After picking up the noodles and pouring on the tomato marinade, Master Wu cut a large plate of yak meat. "Lin Pai Chang, the meat of this yak meat is harder, but it tastes good. Although it's not as good as beef, we have it here."
There is a lot of stock, so we can manage enough."
"And when I was sorting out the supplies just now, I found that the regiment headquarters had given us a lot of extra supplies. It must be thanks to Platoon Leader Lin. That yak leg weighs more than ten kilograms, which is enough for us to have a good meal at night.
"
Squad Leader 8 smiled and said: "This must be thanks to Platoon Leader Lin. After all, he is an officer, and his superiors are not allowed to show any kind of expression."
Then he looked at Lin Yi, "Want some garlic? I'll peel two cloves for you."
Lin Yi was stunned when he heard the words "Do you want garlic?" It was the first time he heard such words in such a long time in the army.
When you usually eat in the army, there is no raw garlic for you to eat. It's not that there is a lack of this thing, but it's because four dishes and one soup are so rich. Why do you eat garlic when you have nothing to do?
When the squad leader 8 saw Lin Yi and said nothing, he reached out and took out one end from the vegetable shelf, "Eat some, raw garlic has been sterilized, there is no harm in it."
After saying that, he peeled it for Lin Yi. Lin Yi took the noodles, added a little chili oil and vinegar, and mixed it for a while, and the flavor was brought out.
Squad Leader 8 also peeled several cloves of garlic and handed them to Lin Yi, "Our post is different from the normal troops. We don't have four dishes and one soup for meals. Usually, we only have two dishes for a meal. After all, there are too few people and few pots. This is
You have to get over it."
Lin Yi is not picky about food. Aren't the two dishes the standard of an ordinary family? They are rich enough.
"Monitor 8, don't think of me as too squeamish. I can eat whatever you want."
Master Wu said at this time: "Platoon Leader Lin, if you are hungry at night, please call me at any time, and I promise to make you a midnight snack as soon as possible."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "No, three meals a day is enough. Besides, if you are really hungry, I can just make a bowl of noodles myself. You have been busy all day and have to sleep well at night."
At this moment, someone from the duty room on the second floor shouted: "There is someone outside the guard post."
When several backup personnel heard this, they rushed out with guns on their backs.
Lin Yi heard the noise and stood up quickly, but the 8th squad leader was not surprised, "They are probably herdsmen and militiamen, coming to say hello."
Sure enough, after a while, a burst of laughter came into the guard post. As he walked, he said, "Grazing in this weather is really fatal. If it hadn't been for the snowstorm and there was really no fodder to eat, I wouldn't have gone out to graze."
8 The squad leader shouted: "Friend, have you eaten yet?"
The herdsman stood at the door of the kitchen and did not come in. "I brought dry food, haven't you eaten yet?"
Suddenly, when the herdsmen saw Lin Yi's military rank, they stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, chief."
In terms of politeness and etiquette, militiamen are really no worse than soldiers in the army. Needless to say, anytime they see a patrol police car or military vehicle, regardless of whether they are leaders or not, militiamen will stand at attention and salute.
Lin Yi also stood up and returned the salute, then asked: "Come to have some food, fellow fellow?"
The 8th squad leader quickly interrupted, "This is our platoon leader Lin, who will be in charge of our 8th squad later. Let's go to the gate and sit and chat."
Master Wu whispered: "They don't eat our food, and they don't enter our restaurant."
Oh, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that he might be from an ethnic minority, and nodded quickly, "Okay, then close the restaurant door. I'm really hungry. I'll take a few bites before I go out."
8. The squad leader is very familiar with the herdsmen. It seems that he comes here to graze their cattle from time to time.
Master Wu introduced: "He is a herdsman militiaman from the border defense brigade below, not a basic militiaman, so his uniform is not so formal, and he does not carry weapons. Their herding is very simple. On this uninhabited barren mountain, he just herds the horses.
, I’ll rush back in the evening.”
Usually when they pass by our Class 8 building, they come to sit there, but only near the gate, and are not allowed to enter other places.
Lin Yi was a little surprised, "Aren't you one of our own, and you still take such strict precautions?"
Master Wu smiled and said: "It's not strict, it's just a rule. Besides, even if soldiers from other classes come, they just sit at the gate. At most, they come to the restaurant to drink two cups of hot water, and they won't mess around.
"
"Besides, our door post is so big, there are chairs, and there are backup staff sitting there chatting with him, so he won't feel lonely."
Lin Yi thought about it. The outpost was only so big. In addition to the two dormitories, there were only bathrooms for washing, leadership rooms, conference rooms, armory and other places. These were indeed places with more privacy.
Only the gate is more spacious, and there are chairs to sit on.
After finishing the noodles, Lin Yi left the restaurant and looked at Squad Leader 8, "Go back to eat quickly. I'll chat with our herdsmen comrades."
Squad Leader 8 nodded, then looked at the herdsman, "In the next three months, Platoon Leader Lin will be the leader of our outpost. If you encounter any situation, come to him for help as soon as possible."
The herdsman took out his walkie-talkie and said, "If I have any questions, I can just contact our border defense brigade. Our militiamen there will provide quick support."
Speaking of the basic militia, Lin Yi had heard about it. It seems that our People's Liberation Army is not the only one guarding this place. I think there are also many militia troops participating in the defense.
At this time, the deputy squad leader walked in and said: "Platoon Leader Lin, you just came here and you don't know anything about us yet. The militia troops guard the second and third lines of defense, while we guard the first line of defense. When you came
, if you pay a little attention, when passing by the second squad post, you can see the road going down, and that road is the militia duty station."
Some of our squads and militia duty stations can be seen at a glance, only one or two kilometers apart at most.
Their technology is more advanced than ours. The surveillance cameras at various checkpoints along the way and all over the mountains and plains are all owned by their people. However, they cooperate with the border police station, so they interact with ordinary people more often.
Oh, that’s it. Lin Yi nodded, “Then we don’t usually interact with the militia?”
The deputy squad leader thought for a while and said, "Normally, we don't interact with each other. Unless there is a mission, they will come to assist us. But they prefer to be inward. Think about it, they have a combat team of ten people and only two rifles.
The rest are just batons, shields, guns, smoke grenades, and this equipment can’t keep up with ours.”
"At least we should each have a rifle. If you are an officer, you can also be equipped with a pistol."
When the herdsmen heard this, they explained, "According to what you said, the division of labor is different. Why do we need so many guns internally? It can only serve as a deterrent. Batons, shields, and tear gas can be used more easily."
Lin Yi nodded, "The herdsmen brothers are right. Different divisions of labor lead to different weapon configurations. It doesn't just mean more firepower. As far as I know, half of the militia is our veterans. In terms of combat effectiveness,
In other words, he is not necessarily weaker than us."
The deputy squad leader agreed, "This is indeed true."
