The people in Class 8 stood neatly in a row and didn't move.
Chen Fei watched quietly as Yuan Lang walked further and further away.
People in Class 8, including Chengcai and Xu Sanduo, also watched Yuan Lang's car go further and further away until it disappeared from sight.
Yuan Lang, the deputy regimental-level officer, left, and everyone in Class 8 secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dismissed!" Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and shouted to the brothers in Class 8.
But everyone stood still.
Chen Fei was too lazy to care about everyone and turned around and walked in another direction.
"Squad leader." Xu Sanduo shouted.
But Chen Fei just waved his hand and turned around without saying a word.
Chengcai patted Xu Sanduo and left.
Ma Chao patted Xu Sanduo's other shoulder and left.
Others also left one after another, and in the end, only Xu Sanduo was left.
Xu Sanduo then stood beside the chariot in a daze.
The camp gradually became lively, but the most lively thing was the cooking class.
They were busy in the cooking cart, and their voices were loud. Many people heard their shouts, as if they were not cooking at this time, but participating in an exercise.
In contrast, the soldiers participating in the confrontation now have a relaxed look, lazy and listless, and the sound of harmonica and guitar can be heard in some barracks.
For the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company, it was really incredible that they could sit around and wait for their meal one day.
Xu Sanduo finally stopped standing like a log and started looking for talents from tent to tent.
But Chengcai was sitting behind the tank wiping his sniper rifle.
So Xu Sanduo searched for a long time before he found Chengcai. After finding Chengcai, Xu Sanduo found that he didn't know what to say.
Chengcai also discovered Xu Sanduo, and also discovered Xu Sanduo's embarrassment, so he raised his 85 sniper: "Three idiot, look, is it beautiful?"
He played with the slender rifle fondly and wiped away a trace of dust that no one but him could feel.
Xu Sanduo sincerely praised the gun: "Chengcai, your gun is so beautiful!"
Chengcai grinned.
"But I think the Lieutenant Colonel's 88-8 sniper is more beautiful."
The smile on Chengcai's face suddenly froze. At first he was a little dissatisfied, but after a moment, he sighed: "His 88 sniper is indeed more beautiful. You idiot, when he said he would give you those guns, you It should be accepted."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that that gun was really more beautiful than the 85 Sniper. The more he thought about it, the more he liked it. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to own one.
At this moment, not far away, a melodious harmonica sound came. I don’t know who played it. It was a bit sad. The melody was long and it made people think about it. Not long after the harmonica sounded, a burst of singing sounded. It also had a long melody and was a bit sad. , I don’t know why, Chengcai and Xu Sanduo suddenly felt homesick.
Listening to those guitars and songs in the dusk, Chengcai's eyes were blurred and he felt like crying.
"It sounds great." Chengcai said: "I have always wanted to learn. Sometimes I dream that I am learning. But when I wake up, I know that I don't have time. I am a sniper. If you want to be a sniper, be the best sniper."
He stroked the gun in his hand and said: "I spent all my time with him. Every time I want to play the guitar, I think, I am the best at using guns among all people, and I am still the best. But I saw that lieutenant colonel use a gun before... I saw him use a gun..."
He vaguely imitated Yuan Lang's posture with the gun. For a pretentious shooter, it was really a nightmare. Another shooter's sniper shot from a few hundred meters away was as easy and fast as shooting with a pistol within ten meters. Chengcai only saw him once and felt that his dream of becoming the best sniper was hopeless.
The more Chengcai thinks about it, the more frustrated he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the sadder he becomes.
He had always felt that his sniping was good, and he was often a little complacent. Even compared with the big guys, he had never been so frustrated, but when he saw Yuan Lang using a gun...
He suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for him to regard the sniper as his dream.
"Xu Sanduo, tell me, am I wrong? Am I not actually qualified to be a sniper at all..."
"How could it be? Chengcai, your sniping is really good. Of course that lieutenant colonel is better than you, but he is from the special brigade of the military region. He is still a lieutenant colonel. He should be better than you. If he is Even if you are not as good as you, that is the most terrifying thing. Chengcai, didn't the squad leader say that in this life of a soldier, he is either competing with his opponent, or he is on the road to prepare to compete with his opponent. Now you are just seeing another one. It’s just a new opponent.”
Xu Sanduo gave somewhat lame advice.
The sun sets and dusk falls.
Lights came on in the group of barracks.
The banquet of the Seventh Steel Company has officially begun.
This dinner was held in the open air beside the parking lot. Several car lights were screwed here for lighting, which gave the dinner an atmosphere of fighting and iron horses.
The chief of staff arranged for the cooking soldiers to bring the dishes up in steel food boxes. There was nothing good about it, but there was enough meat and wine. It was full of field army habits.
Gao Cheng raised the lunch box containing wine towards his company of soldiers.
Under the dusk, the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company looked a little depressed, because the 7th Company had never suffered such a defeat. In this battle, the 7th Steel Company was basically disabled.
Gao Cheng didn't know what to say, and his raised hand didn't move for a long time.
"Brothers of the Seventh Company!" Gaocheng roared at some unknown moment.
"Arrived!" All the soldiers in the company responded in unison.
"I originally thought that if I don't know how to have a meal, what kind of meal will I have if I lose the battle?" Gao Cheng said, "But the instructor said that if you lose the battle, you must have a meal especially to boost morale."
Hong Xingguo on the side felt that this was not a good idea, so he stabbed him secretly, but Gao Cheng remained unmoved.
"That will happen! The morale of the Seventh Steel Company has been high for more than fifty years. Does the morale of the Seventh Steel Company still need to be boosted?"
"No need!" The whole company's soldiers seemed to have been blown up.
Hong Xingguo was happy and nodded to Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng picked up the lunch box and continued: "So I propose that this first glass of wine, let's drink a glass of wine for the defeat! You have to drink this glass of wine whether you know how to drink it, because we are defeated because we don't want to fight, but we have already fought! We have It is not that the Seventh Steel Company has not suffered defeats in its history, but every defeat lays the foundation for great victories in the next few decades. Therefore, this defeat is not shameful. Let us just win all the battles in the future! Seven Brothers of the company, drink——”
Hong Xingguo pulled Gao Cheng's sleeve again, but Gao Cheng was already drinking it up and down his neck, so Hong Xingguo had no choice but to drink too.
In an instant, the sound of drinking could be heard throughout the company.
"The second cup of wine is for victory. This cup should only be drunk by those who are confident in winning the war. Don't drink it by those who are not confident! Brothers who are confident that they can win the war in the future, drink -
Gao Cheng drank it all in one go.
"drink--"
All the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company stood up, and there was no one who didn't want to drink. There was another burst of cow drink.
It was said to be two cups, but in fact it was two lunch boxes. One lunch box contained one bottle and one-third. After drinking more than two bottles in two gulps, many people began to sway.
Hong Xingguo was the first to shake.
Of course Gao Cheng was shaken too.
Gao Cheng asked in his ear: "Instructor, I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said, right?"
Hong Xingguo shook his head and said: "No...no..."
Gao Cheng said: "Then you can also say a few words."
Hong Xingguo picked up the lunch box without hesitation: "This third cup...the third cup, everyone should clear their stomachs, fill their stomachs with something, and keep drinking what you can!"
