When the fellow saw the official coming, he reached out and untied his fur coat to reveal the clothes underneath. When a shiny party emblem appeared on his chest, the herdsman laughed and said, "I'm not a bad person. It turns out that the troops passed here."
Whenever I go out, I will give them water to drink.”
When he saw the party emblem on the herdsman's chest and his innocent smile, Lin Yi immediately understood that the herdsman must have seen that the soldiers training on foot were too hard, so they came here to pour water for the soldiers.
So he no longer hesitated, took the water, blew in the hot air, and drank it.
After Lin Yi drank the water, he felt that the herdsman uncle looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
Lin Yi didn't care at first. After all, he was the deputy battalion commander, and there were so many soldiers under him. Although the faces looked different, they all had one nose and two eyes. In fact, in the final analysis, the difference was not big. Once you see more
Yes, it is not easy to distinguish clearly.
At this moment, two shellings were heard in the distance, and Lin Yi knew that they were live ammunition fired by combat troops. He was afraid that the herdsmen would be frightened, so he was about to explain, but saw the herdsmen shaking their heads: "This cannon is fired crookedly.
"
As soon as these words came out, the guard platoon leader was amused: "Uncle, can you tell that the cannon is wrong just by listening to the sound of the cannon? Why are you so powerful?"
Lin Yi glanced at the guard platoon leader: "What are you talking about to my fellow countrymen?"
Although the guard platoon leader was not convinced, he had no choice but to shut up.
At this moment, a voice came from a walkie-talkie: "The artillery shot was deflected. How did you shoot it? Quickly correct the target."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at the herdsmen in surprise.
A picture suddenly flashed through Lin Yi's mind. He pointed at the herdsman and said, "Are you the old hero Zhou Xuelin?"
Zhou Xuelin?
When Company Commander Chen heard this, he quickly said: "Is it Zhou Xuelin from the Model Hall? But isn't he over seventy years old? He has retired many years early, how can he be here?"
Lin Yi ignored Company Commander Chen and just stared at the herdsman. Seeing Lin Yi say his name, the herdsman waved his hand: "It's all in the past. I didn't expect you, a little kid, to still remember it."
The guard platoon leader did not know the name Zhou Xuelin. He had not been in the army for a long time and had only been to the Model Hall a few times, so he quickly asked: "Company Commander Chen, who is this fellow?"
Unexpectedly, Company Commander Chen ignored the guard platoon leader and just saluted the fellow villagers, and then said: "Zhou Xuelin, a first-class hero, once operated a cannon in a previous battle and repelled dozens of enemy attacks. He was praised as
For the king of divine artillery."
One person operating one gun?
Even a small artillery piece like a mortar will have a second gunner. Aren't ordinary artillery pieces one for each squad?
Suddenly, the guard platoon leader thought of a possibility, that is, the whole class had died, and only this one person was left in that class.
When he thought of this, the guard platoon leader took a deep breath, it turned out that this was the Hero Soldier King.
Lin Yi took the herdsman's hand and asked quickly: "Old senior, why don't you live in a nursing home after you retire? Why do you come here to herd sheep?"
The old hero smiled and said: "I am used to the life of the army. I feel uncomfortable going anywhere. How many more years can we live for people of our age? Why not come here to graze and contribute to the army. Besides,
, smelling the smoke will keep your heart from feeling empty."
When Lin Yi heard this, he quickly said: "Old senior, you don't look old. I thought you were only sixty years old at first. In my opinion, you can live to be a hundred years old, but you can live to be less than 100 years old."
One hundred twenty."
The old hero heard Lin Yi's words and smiled: "You little kid, you really know how to joke. Where are you going next?"
Lin Yi didn't elaborate, just pointed in a general direction: "Go over there."
The old hero has seen countless exercises and drills. Just at a glance, he knew that he was a logistics unit. The logistics unit would eventually merge with the combat unit. In this case, it would inevitably take the road behind him.
So he reminded: "When I came here just now, I found that the road over there was washed away by the flood. You have to think of a solution, whether it is to build a bridge or something else. This will waste a lot of time. You have to hurry up."
When Lin Yi heard this, he was greatly surprised and quickly looked at the guards: "Send someone to check quickly to see if the water depth is enough for trucks. If it is too high, come up with specific data so that we can organize the construction of a bridge."
When the old hero heard this, he immediately gave a series of figures, including the average water depth, the maximum water depth, the shallowest water depth, and the feasibility of building a bridge.
After hearing this, everyone was stunned. This old hero was really not simple, and he could speak so professionally.
Lin Yi believed in the words of the old hero. An old hero who was still active in the training ground after retirement had a very sincere belief, that is, he wanted to contribute to the army, so he immediately looked at
Company Commander Chen: "According to the data given by the seniors, immediately organize personnel to carry out bridge building work."
Then he looked at the old hero: "Senior, our mission is still very heavy, so I won't spend more time with you. When I take a rest later, I will definitely come over with drinks and food to chat with you."
When the old hero heard this, he said very cheerfully: "We soldiers, what we say is like spitting and nailing, and we can't fake it."
Lin Yi pointed to the cap badge: "With the national emblem up there, I dare not tell lies."
The old hero quickly gave up and drove the sheep aside: "Don't bring any meat. I'm not short of meat. Just come over."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I have to give you a change of taste. When I have a rest, I will definitely come to visit you."
Then he turned around and returned to the command vehicle. Company Commander Chen said at this time: "Deputy Battalion Commander, when you come to visit the seniors, can you please invite me to come with you?"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Why, are you willing to come too?"
Company Commander Chen nodded repeatedly: "That is an old fighting hero who has been on the battlefield, climbed out from the dead, and fought off the enemy so many times. We will never be able to learn the scenes he has experienced in a lifetime. I definitely want to
Talk to him more."
At this moment, Captain Chen clapped his hands regretfully: "What a huge loss. I forgot to drink the senior's water. This is a bit disrespectful."
Lin commented on the complaint and waved his hand: "Respect comes from the heart. I am over seventy years old. Instead of enjoying the good living conditions in a nursing home, I come to this place where birds don't poop to herd sheep and guard this place."
Water and soil safety means that people do not pay attention to external conditions, let alone such a trivial matter as whether you drink water or not.
Moreover, if people want to be respected and respected, they can just sit in any corner of the city and be admired by countless people. The fact that he can leave all fame and fortune behind and come here speaks volumes. Let’s wait until next time
When you come over, chat more with them and spend more time with them. This is the best form of respect."
