Chapter 148 Going to the Horse Ranch



Lin Anping enthusiastically directed the soldiers of the motor vehicle squad to wash the car.

Just because of Jiang Yun's joke, the Ballad of Mulan, which had not been mentioned for a long time, came alive again in his mind.

Travel thousands of miles to the battlefield, and cross the mountains and hills like flying.

It is in such an extremely difficult environment that passion and ambition can be reflected!

If Cen Shen and Gao Shi had stayed in the Hanlin Academy, how could they have written such magnificent poems!

"Xiao Jiang, you'll know once you get to the horse ranch we're going to. It's a spectacular sight when thousands of horses are galloping!" Lin Anping waved his hands excitedly. "When they run, it's like a strong wind, and the sound of their hooves is like, like..."

Jiang Jun's voice was clear and crisp: "The waves crash against the shore."

Lin Anping's eyes moistened: "Yes, yes, waves crashing against the shore! That thing, that is truly magnificent!"

Oh, I haven’t been this excited in a long time, my heart is so pounding!

Lin Anping gathered all the soldiers in the company and asked them about the general migration situation in the horse grazing area. He also analyzed and judged on the map of the entire prairie, and circled the two most likely places as if he was directing a battle.

Finally, it was decided to take two classes together, and whoever found it first would use a radio transmitter to tell the other.

Gong Ke thought this idea was too frivolous: "Lao Lin, what you're doing has no educational value. It will only increase the soldiers' laziness. You'll do the same on all future missions! You're derelict in your duty!"

Lin Anping stopped his hand mid-air. What did it mean to say that he was derelict in his duty in front of so many soldiers?

Jiang Jun quickly stood up and reported, "Captain, I'll definitely write a 500-word reflection on my study when I get back!"

Other soldiers also stood up to express their determination, some wanted to write down their learning experiences, some wanted to double their efforts to complete the task, some wanted to strive to complete the task ahead of schedule, and so on.

In a word, we will never let down the hard work and teachings of the company commander and instructor, and strive to be the best in the military region through this rare learning opportunity!

Lin Anping waved his hands even more vigorously: "Okay! Let's do what we say and strive for the best results!"

As He Xiangdong was heading back to the dormitory to pack his backpack, he whispered to Jiang Jun, "I was so scared the instructor would say something and we wouldn't be able to go! But you have to help me write this study experience!"

Jiang Jun patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry. On the way there, you need to pay attention and listen carefully to what the company commander says. When the time comes, write down what the company commander says, and it will be an excellent study report."

She had already discovered that the company commander was a talented man. He had a lot to say, but if he opened his mouth, he would definitely say a lot of witty words.

He Xiangdong sighed. "Oh, that's great. I'm most afraid of writing this. They all ask me to talk about how great my dad is, but how would I know? I barely see him twice a year, and yet they insist on calling me modest."

Jiang Jun chuckled, "Even if they haven't met him more than once, he's still your father. They haven't even met him! They just want to know how many achievements your father has made and how many awards he has won? They just want to hear how you two siblings admire your father. If you really can't put it into words, you have to find a way to get others to talk."

He Xiangdong: "I don't dare. I don't even know how to talk to them!"

Jiang Jun: "It's very simple. If you're with the company commander, you can praise his poetry recitation. If you're with Zhang Dashan, you can ask him to teach you to sing. If you're with other soldiers, you can ask them what kind of yurts they've seen before. Ask them where they're from and what customs they have that are different from ours."

The soldiers in the communications company are so lively, they love to sing and laugh, and they can talk a lot with anyone they are with!

He Xiangdong was a little nervous: "It's a pity that you are sitting in the driver's seat, otherwise I would listen to you."

Jiang Yun’s foot injury meant he could only sit in the driver’s seat.

When they set out, Lin Anping specifically followed Jiang Jun's car and sat in the carriage with the soldiers. He also called out to He Xiangdong: "Come on, Xiao He, I'll tell you how the pastoral areas on the prairie are divided."

Jiang Jun saw in the rearview mirror that Lin Anping lent a hand and pulled He Xiangdong into the carriage. She actually felt that the moment Lin Anping extended his hand, it was as if he was taking his own daughter out to buy a horse.

"Our company commander is such a nice guy!" Jiang Jun made small talk.

Luo Xiangnan agreed: "The company commander is easier to talk to than the instructor. He praises us as long as we complete the task and never finds fault with us."

Jiang Jun was curious: "What if the mission is not completed?"

Luo Xiangnan chuckled: "The company commander will feel that he has not led us well, and he will take the lead and work with us to find a way to complete the mission!"

Jiang Jun glanced at the rearview mirror again. The soldiers who had not followed the car had already gathered in the yard.

Even when not on a mission, military posture and formation training are still required every day.

After being out for a few days, Jiang Yun's novelty about the prairie had faded a lot.

The window on the driver's door was half open, and besides the sound of the wind, one could hear laughter coming from inside the car.

It was Lin Anping, standing in the carriage, introducing the magnificent scenery of the prairie in an eloquent manner, and occasionally interspersing a line or two of poetry.

Jiang Jun listened for a while, but the whistling wind and the tightly drawn car hood interfered with her hearing.

There was a flat land ahead, and Jiang Jun spoke to Luo Xiangnan confidently: "Have you ever seen a horse herder before?"

"Yes! I even chased horses for them."

"Wow! That's amazing!"

“I didn’t catch up!”

“…”

"It's winter, and our car broke down."

"It's troublesome when the car breaks down."

"Yes, especially after it snows."

The engine is not resistant to freezing, so it is particularly easy to break down when driving in winter, and it often fails to start.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Push it back!"

There is strength in numbers. Two or three people in front pull the rope forward, and seven or eight people in the back push hard. There is no way they can leave the car in the middle of the road.

After pushing the several-ton truck back to the company, everyone was covered in wind and frost and mud.

Jiang Jun couldn't help but sigh that he was so lucky that he had never encountered any problems with these big trucks.

Luo Xiangnan drove on the flat ground and was quite talkative: "Yes, it's better than anything else if the car doesn't break down! Once, the truck that the regiment was sending us supplies was met by wild wolves, and half of the truck's supplies were thrown out. By the time it got to our company, the beef and mutton were almost all gone, with only a few bags of flour left. If the truck had broken down, those soldiers would have been gone too."

Jiang Jun slapped his chest: "How terrifying!"

Luo Xiangnan suddenly shouted in surprise, "Look ahead! What's that? To my left, it looks like a horse! We might have reached the horse ranch! Hey, we're half an hour earlier than expected!"

Jiang Jun also saw a few horses galloping about three or four miles to the left of the truck. "They look familiar. Hey, are they wearing military uniforms?"
