At 8 a.m. on June 21, two Citroën cars and two Ford three-ton trucks drove out of the east gate of Guangzhou City and soon turned right onto the 2.5-kilometer road leading to the north of Lincun. This section was originally uneven.
With the joint efforts of thousands of villagers in Lin Village and nearly 200 officers and soldiers of Anyi Third Company, the narrow road took only seven days to turn into a flat road five meters wide with solid drainage ditches on both sides. Although there is no gravel road
The trunk road from Guangzhou to Kowloon is spacious, but its solidity and smoothness are greatly exceeded. It has become the main land arterial road from Lam Tsuen to the city.
The spacious space under the two big banyan trees at the entrance of the village was also neatly trimmed. Liu She and others in the Citroen sedan knew they were there when they saw the Chevrolet truck parked under the tree from a distance. From a hundred meters away, they saw An Yi leading the way.
His third company had been lining up to welcome him for a long time.
Four military vehicles that had just been distributed for less than a week stopped one after another. An Yi led two deputies and jogged over to report: "Reporting to the division and officers, the three companies have assembled. Please give instructions, sir!"
The officers got out of the car and returned the salute. They walked to the uneven and nervous-looking team and took a look around. They found that many of the naughty soldiers had one trouser leg high and one trouser leg bottom, and the military shoes under their feet were also cracked.
, the jackets of two of the naughty soldiers were too short, and the buttons on the front of their trousers were also off, revealing a large bulging lump inside without them realizing it. Such military appearance, military discipline, and mental outlook made Liu She frown: "
I guess you spent a lot of time practicing, but you haven’t practiced standing in a formation, right?”
"Reporter, my subordinate has neglected his duty. He really hasn't practiced... I'm so busy that I forgot about it." An Yi replied guiltily.
Liu She and others looked at each other for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry. Hu Shusen asked kindly: "We are here for acceptance today. What are you going to show us?"
An Yi took out the plan and handed it over with both hands: "This is the plan for the third company's drill today. Please correct me, sir!"
Hu Shusen took the folded plan book, looked at An Yi and slowly opened it. After a while, he walked quickly to Liu She and said in surprise:
"Teacher, please see, this guy has a very good tone! The five-kilometer long run includes two flying crossings. After the logging is completed, two pontoon bridges 25 meters long and 3 meters wide will be built, followed by the construction of 82-meter mountain fortifications.
, dare to boast that it only takes five hours, and only invests a standard engineer company of 138 people, this... is really unbelievable, if only one pontoon bridge was built, it might be possible to do it."
Liu Zhen, Xu Tingyao, Jiang Dingwen, Hui Dongsheng and other division commanders all came today to open their eyes. Unexpectedly, the first thing they saw was a group of rogue soldiers who were not neatly dressed and couldn't even form a good formation. They were disappointed when they saw An Yi's appearance.
The various construction tasks and estimated time-consuming indicated on the plan map above, the importance of the tasks, and the loudness of the tone were simply unacceptable, so everyone's eyes changed when they looked at An Yi.
Liu Zie walked up to An Yi calmly: "An Yi, do you know that there are no jokes in the army?"
"Master, I understand very well! If you and the officers don't believe it, why not... how about we take a gamble?" An Yi replied expressionlessly.
"oh?"
Liu She looked at An Yi in surprise, thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "What kind of gambling method?"
An Yi continued with a cold look on his face: "I bet three thousand yuan. If the master and the officers win, I will immediately give you three thousand yuan in cash, and I will also ask for punishment. I will cancel my position as acting company commander.
I am willing to start over as a private."
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this. Seeing An Yi's confidence, they were confused by him for a while. Then looking at Yin Jinan's anxious eyes and bearded attitude behind An Yi, seven or eight officers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
deal with.
Engineer Battalion Commander Kuang Shimin anxiously stepped forward to persuade An Yi not to do this, to admit his mistake quickly and get the forgiveness of his superiors before the matter got too serious and there was still room for change. Unexpectedly, An Yi comforted Kuang Shimin kindly, and in the end it seemed that he had meant it.
He accidentally said, "I am willing to admit defeat. A small acting company commander under my subordinates cannot bear as heavy a psychological burden as the superiors." This sentence immediately made Hui Dongsheng, commander of the Sixth Regiment, angry.
Hui Dongsheng stepped forward and glared at An Yi: "An Yi, I accept your bet, but I want to ask what you bet on? If you lose, you must be dismissed, but how do you use the three thousand books you lost?
Give me the money?"
An Yi thought for a while and said: "Commander Hui, the commander may not want us to gamble. Forget it. I take back what I just said. Listen to our battalion commander Kuang. I take back what I just said... Commander, sirs, please
Move to the mouth of Zhuxi, where we will start reporting on the drill, haha... Master, please take your seat! Sirs, please..."
Liu Zie started to laugh, and several colleagues also laughed. After Liu Zie finished laughing, he asked loudly: "An Yi, don't fool us with these trivial tricks. If you are really confident in yourself, you will be like Captain Hui."
As I just said, take your bet out and take a look, but let me remind you first, if you lose the bet, it will not be as simple as being dismissed from your post. You will lose the qualification to continue to stay in the First Army from now on, do you understand?"
An Yi replied loudly: "Yes! Master, please wait. I don't have that much money, but I have a rich brother who is the boss. He is Lin Xudong, the leader of the Lin Village Villagers Group. He is standing at the sentry post at the entrance of the village in front. I
Go and ask him to borrow some money."
Without waiting for Liu She to express his position, An Yi trotted up to Lin Xudong, whispered a few words, picked up a heavy coarse cloth bag from the ground, came to the officers and opened it quickly, and the white ocean immediately appeared in front of everyone: "Sirs, sirs
, this is my subordinate’s gambling book, please check it. My eldest brother is very generous. He said that if the officers are interested, he also wants to bet 3,000 yuan on his subordinates to win. I am afraid that everyone will not believe it. He has already sent people back to move the money.
If the superiors don’t want to gamble, then their subordinates will refuse him later. I guess he doesn’t want to see his subordinates lose face, so he will bear the pain to embolden his subordinates.”
All the officers are full-blooded soldiers. As a dignified regular army general, how can a small militia leader laugh at him despite the hail of bullets and bullets? So even though he knew that the cunning An Yi's beautiful words were full of needles, he still
They nodded solemnly to each other, and both said they would gamble six thousand with their private money, and they wanted to see how An Yi would end up.
After setting the bet, An Yi changed his seriousness into a playful and smiling demeanor. He picked up a beautiful silver whip and walked to his subordinates, howling like a wild wolf:
"Stand at attention! You grandsons, listen carefully to me. You all saw it just now. It's all a white ocean! Let's not talk about the money for now. You bastards all know who I am. As long as you
If you have money, your share will be indispensable! Today, I ask you, for the sake of money and my face, you must use your strength to give me a good face, to give face to the third company, and to show face to me.
, and give your grandsons a face! Now tell me, do you dare to gamble with me?"
"dare--"
The deafening shouts startled thousands of timid villagers.
"Okay! You are worthy of being my brother. With this sentence, my death is worth it! Regardless of victory or defeat, let's have a good drink together tonight and get drunk before resting! Let's go——"
An Yi and two assistants led more than a hundred brothers and ran to the single-plank bridge with full confidence.
Xu Tingyao looked at Hu Shusen and then at Liu She: "Damn it, is this An Yi really taught by our Huangpu? He is a complete alien!"
Hui Dongsheng laughed loudly: "I like this guy's character. He's so damn ruthless and sinister. Didn't you see those bastards who didn't even button their pants just now? Just a few words to An Yi made boy blush.
Damn it, I'm suddenly worried about losing to this guy An Yi, haha!"
Liu She shook his head helplessly: "I guess I have been fooled by this guy. Now I suddenly remembered that he mentioned in detail the flying crossing, logging, fortification survey and construction, selection of the best combinations, reasonable division of labor to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, etc. He also mentioned
I have heard of the new term modular rapid assembly, but they have never mentioned to us the construction procedures of how to erect pontoons. I guess if we lose today, we will probably lose on these two pontoons."
Hu Shusen said in surprise: "If this is really the case, I suspect that he set this trap long ago and waited for us to get in today!"
Liu She nodded: "It's very possible... let's go. No matter what, it's a gamble. Let's go and see how they do it. Let the combat staff conduct strict inspections according to our inspection standards and time calculations. I would like to
Let’s see how great this An Yi can be, if he really wins, I’ll be happy even if I lose!”
