Shortly after November, the companies of the 4th Division began to hibernate early.
Almost all the educated youth in the 39th Regiment made wishes to Ling Xiu in private.
Because this year's winter training is the turn of the 39th Regiment.
Each battalion must select three companies of educated youth to participate in the two-week winter training organized by the Corps.
In addition to running state-owned farms, the agricultural reclamation division also has the responsibility of serving as a border defense reserve.
Once a conflict occurs there, several agricultural reclamation divisions will be converted into reserve divisions on the spot and added to the front-line troops.
Their only role is to buy time for the rear to assemble and mobilize.
Zhang Hongcheng and everyone else also looked at the portrait of leader and made promises every day.
Unfortunately, Comrade Yan Jinrong has bad luck...
He drew the lot with only a one in six chance of winning.
Those who participated in the winter training were mainly male educated youth.
Among the more than 20 female educated youth in the company, only six of them volunteered to go with us.
But Zhang Hongcheng was lucky.
The fourth squad of the third platoon, which had the most new recruits, was left behind by Captain Yan to guard the company headquarters.
As an old educated youth, Zeng Jianjun went to the gate to see the old educated youths off in a very graceful manner.
As a result, he was hit by snowballs and turned into a snowman by the old educated youth.
The eight male educated youth in Class 4 were divided into two shifts for duty, and the canteen and washroom were taken over by the female educated youth.
Zhang Hongcheng felt that apart from the fact that standing guard was a bit cold, he and his group were living a life where they had food provided for them.
During the first few days of winter, the regiment headquarters is the busiest.
Various cultural and artistic activities organized by the Youth League were staged one after another, and the supply and marketing cooperatives were also full of New Year's goods.
The educated youth had saved money and tickets for several months, so they naturally ran to the Youth League headquarters diligently.
The location of the fifth company was very remote, but the female educated youth who stayed behind would still go to the headquarters to take a look, even if they had to squeeze into a horse-drawn carriage and suffer from the wind.
The carriage was from a nearby natural village.
For the villagers, Yunxi Town and the farm office are places they must visit before the New Year.
Especially at the farm headquarters, you can exchange some scarce bills from the educated youth on the farm.
Therefore, there are quite a few horse-drawn carriages that travel a long way to the field office every day.
It costs three cents to ride one person, and a carriage can hold seven or eight people, so a round trip is fifty cents!
The cyclists were very happy to make money.
It was the seventh day after Captain Yan and his men left.
Zhang Hongcheng had just finished his shift and had dinner, preparing to return to the dormitory when he suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance of the residence.
There was a frightened coachman, and six frightened female educated youth in the carriage.
Jia Yumei climbed out of the car limply and cried loudly to Hao Aiguo, Zhang Hongcheng and others.
"There were wolves on the road, lots of them! Bao Zhihui and Feng Xuexiu fell out of the car!!"
Several female educated youth were cursing the driver because he refused to stop the car to look for someone.
Hao Aiguo, Zhang Hongcheng and others' faces changed drastically.
There is nothing wrong with the handlebar approach.
But Bao Zhihui and Feng Xuexiu are in danger now!
Hao Aiguo did not hesitate.
"Lao Zeng, Xiao Zhang, Lao Song, follow me. Kou Shihong, Ma Changjiang, Yang Yongjun, and Su Beijing, the four of you will guard the company headquarters."
The coachman actually wanted to take the four of them to the scene of the incident, but the horse refused to leave the gate.
The four men carrying rifles could only wrap their leg wraps around their shoulders and run.
Zhang Hongcheng ran while gritting his teeth and praying.
Hopefully it’s not too late!
Zeng Jianjun kept cursing all the way.
"This pack of wolves is too cunning. They hid for so long before appearing. I'm afraid they saw us walk more than halfway out of the mountain."
The accident site was just over one kilometer away from the company headquarters.
But when Zhang Hongcheng and the other three arrived at the place, they found no trace of Bao Zhihui and Feng Xuexiu.
"There's no blood on the ground!"
"Found the wolf's tracks, they're fresh!"
Zeng Jianjun looked at the traces left in the snow in confusion.
"Why didn't they run to the company headquarters?"
"Instead, it went northeast."
Zhang Hongcheng took a long breath.
"It's the wolves."
"The wolves are deliberately driving them away from the company headquarters!"
Hao Aiguo waved.
"Go! Watch your surroundings."
The two flashlights were shaking all over the place, and Zhang Hongcheng felt like his fingers were about to freeze on the trigger.
They followed the footprints and fortunately saw no torn clothes or bloodstains.
After chasing for three kilometers, they finally heard a long wolf howl.
On a big pine tree, a weak flashlight was waving towards the tree below.
Two figures could be vaguely seen sitting on the tree.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope nothing happened!
"Loaded!"
Following Hao Aiguo's order, four sounds of bolts being pulled were heard from far away.
The wolves surrounding the tree began to feel uneasy.
The two wild wolves that sneaked up behind Zhang Hongcheng and his four companions also began to hesitate.
The combination of humans and gunpowder is undoubtedly the most unsolvable existence in nature.
As the four people approached, the wolves under the tree were unwilling to give up the prey that was in their mouths.
They roared and growled, trying to scare the four people away.
Pairs of green eyes are particularly conspicuous in the night.
The distance between the two sides quickly approached twenty meters.
The wolf leader was about to give the order to attack.
"Bang~!"
"Bang~~!"
Zeng Jianjun and Zhang Hongcheng opened fire at the same time.
The loud gunshots frightened the wolves and caused them to scatter in panic.
A wolf that was rushing in the front was shot in the neck by Lao Zeng and lay on the ground twitching continuously.
The other wolf had its leg broken by Zhang Hongcheng's shot and kept howling.
Zhang Hongcheng was ashamed, because he was actually aiming at the opponent's neck.
