Chapter 21 Special Task (I)

A new day was about to begin. When the sun climbed the hill to the east, the troops were ready to set off, and there was a new battle waiting for them in front.

The Tank Company Commander Zhang and the Infantry Company Commander were drinking the soldiers and preparing to set off. Li Siming also asked the team members to replenish their ammunition and prepare to build a tank to march south. At this moment, the army's commander called.

"Chief, I am Li Siming. What instructions do I have?" Li Siming asked on the radio.

Commander Yan first praised Li Siming for his strong tactics in the battle to annihilate the enemy's blocking strongholds yesterday evening. Li Siming curled his lips. How he was concerned about completing the task at the lowest cost these days, and he didn't care about things like earning meritorious service and receiving awards.

Commander Yan continued on the other end: "Now I will give you a special task, and you must complete this task!"

"Special mission?" Li Siming asked.

"Yes. Several comrades from the Bayi Factory want to follow our army's vanguard to shoot the scenes on the battlefield. You Langya are responsible for protecting their safety until other units take over you."

"What? Do we want us to do this?" Li Siming originally thought it was a difficult task, but he didn't expect it to be this task, which was indeed special.

"What? Do you have a different opinion?"

"No, Chief! Complete the task resolutely!" Li Siming felt a little unacceptable in his heart. He understood that he could not object at all. The soldiers took obeying orders as their duty, but he still had some questions, "Chief, can you ask why we need to protect us?"

"Comrade Li Siming, I can understand that you have ideas, but this is also a political task, it is also the need of our political propaganda and education of the general public, and it is also part of the war. We can trust your Langya's combat effectiveness and military qualities, so we can rest assured."

"Thank you for your trust from the chief, the Wolf Teeth Special Forces resolutely complete the task!" Li Siming swears to promise here, but he thinks in his heart that this high hat is really high, so he still accepts it happily.

"Captain Li, we are about to set off. Are you still going with us?" asked Company Commander Zhang, Tank Company.

"No, we have a new task temporarily!" Li Siming replied.

"It's such a pity. We fight together and cooperate well. I hope there is a chance to fight with your wolf teeth." Company Commander Zhang said regretfully. Li Siming's command and tactical methods last night made him admire him, and the losses were extremely small.

"There is no way, this is an order." Li Siming spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Okay, see you again in the future. When there is a unit of our army coming, we will set off when they arrive." Company Commander Zhang said goodbye in advance.

"Goodbye! Take care!" Li Siming said.

"The same is true for you!" Company Commander Zhang shook hands with him.

Half an hour later, a team of infantry came over, and they were accompanied by two photographers from the Bayi Factory. They left them and drove directly to the south.

A soldier walked straight towards Li Siming because the camouflage uniforms and combat equipment of Li Siming's wolf teeth troops were obviously different from other soldiers. If they were in the jungle, it would be difficult to find them, but if they stood among a group of ordinary soldiers in green uniforms and red collars, it would be very conspicuous.

"Can you be the captain of the Wolf Tooth Force Comrade Li Siming?" asked the soldier.

"I am Li Siming, who are you?" Li Siming asked. He didn't know the specific position of the other party and didn't know if he should salute.

"Oh, hello. I am the officer of the Military Political Department. My surname is Qian. I was ordered to send two comrades from the Bayi Factory over!" said Mr. Qian, and instead introduced the two people carrying cameras behind him. "These two are comrades from the Bayi Factory..."

"Captain Li, my surname is Zhang, just me Lao Zhao." The older one said, "This is my colleague, and his surname is Zhao, just call her Xiao Zhao."

"On behalf of the Wolf Teeth Force, I welcome two Comrade Zhang!" Li Siming said, but his expression was not very happy. The two photographers were wearing green military uniforms, steel helmets, pistols on their waists, and dressed in military style. They also risked their lives to go deep into the front line. Although they needed protection, this spirit was still admirable.

"The movies in your Bayi Factory are good, that's the one. "Railway Guerrillas" are very good, which is quite similar to the work we did in the Wolf Teeth Army." Li Siming felt that he was a little cold to the two protected objects, so he deliberately found a topic.

"Captain Li, this... This "Railway Guerrilla" is from the Shanghai Film Studio!" Old Zhao Zhang said hesitantly. Li Siming felt very embarrassed. Movies were his amateur favorite. The fact that this kind of misunderstanding made him feel that he was a "artifact fan" and fired an empty gun.

"Oh, I remember wrongly. Look at my mind, I was shocked by the cannon. That "Shangganling" is also good. It shows the heroic spirit of revolutionary heroism of our soldiers who are brave and fearless. It is also something that we soldiers must study hard! I have watched this movie more than five times!" Li Siming quickly corrected.

"This "Shangganling" is... from Changchi Studio." Lao Zhao's face turned darker, Li Siming flattered the wrong way again and hit the ponytail. The most important thing is how can you praise other people's peers in front of others, and their peers are enemies. Mr. Qian and the white wolf Xu Zhiqiang around him blushed, and he held back his laughter and said.

"Then "Mine War", "Mine War", and "Shining Red Star" are always from you? They are all classics!" Li Siming finally said it right, and Chanshi Qian and Xu Zhiqiang were relieved.

"I'm going to bother you this time!" Lao Zhang felt that it was just a matter of feeling uncomfortable when talking about this topic.

"Does the military leader have any instructions?" Li Siming asked Officer Qian.

"These two comrades from the Bayi Factory need to shoot the most cutting-edge battle scenes, so they must be ahead, which is more dangerous. When we came, the chief gave a special instructions that from the moment we saw you, we must obey your command in terms of safety." said Director Qian.

The two photographers came to the battlefield a few days ago, but they were all shooting rear logistics and the battlefield scenes after the battle, but the actual combat scenes were not involved. So there was a matter of wolf teeth protecting them. Li Siming felt that this was a bit of a lack of use, and these two photographers were also of level enough! This is also a thankless thing for the wolf teeth troops. If there is an accident, they are not combatants, and the soldiers will die in battle.

"Okay, we will follow the route of the front troops to the forefront to advance, but you must obey the command and don't run around. Be more careful. I cannot guarantee that there are any enemy agents or stragglers on this road. When you reach the front, you can't go too far. You carry the camera's target too conspicuous." Li Siming said. Li Siming felt that they might as well act with the tank, so that the target is more conspicuous, but it is very powerful.

"Captain Li, don't worry, we will definitely obey the command!" Lao Zhang promised.

"Look at the wolf teeth team members, the whole team is in a V-shaped battle formation, set off!" Li Siming ordered.

At this moment, Li Siming saw the Beijing educated youth Zhang muttering something to other educated youth militias.

"Why are you still here? Go back quickly!" Li Siming said.

"Captain Li, we have discussed it, we have decided to continue moving forward!" Zhang Zhiqing said.

"It's very dangerous ahead, not where you should go." Li Siming refused.

"But there should always be wounded in wars. We can also let the main attacking troops in the front have no worries! Besides, we also have guns, at least we can protect ourselves. Unlike those two comrades from the film studio, I'm afraid we haven't even touched guns before!" Zhang Zhiqing said, with firmness in his eyes.

Militia and migrant workers are a very important combat auxiliary team. They are generally led by local armed forces, carrying bullets, mines, blasting tubes, stretchers, food, and other combat supplies. The army moves forward and they follow up. When the army stops, they don’t move. They are also wearing green uniforms and leggings. The only difference is that they do not wear hats, badges, collars and badges. The equipment is even more diverse, including mullets, Su-style submachine guns, Type 51 rifles, and a small number of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and Type 63 submachine guns. They are divided into companies, platoons, squads, squads, and deputys, like regular combat troops.

The squad leader is usually served by militiamen, carrying weapons, and others are migrant workers. Not everyone has weapons, but each person brings 4 grenades. Their main task is to carry combat supplies and rescue wounded people, carry martyrs, and do everything. Most of them are temporary Yunnan border residents, organized by the local armed forces, and are under the command of the combat troops. Each person has a salary of 30 yuan, eat and supply grain, and after the war, you can give priority to work. When asked if they are afraid of war, the answer is: If you are a soldier, we are not afraid, so we are not afraid. It is very simple.

However, Zhang Zhiqing, a group of militias, came privately after all, and their weapons were quite neat, and they looked "well-trained". Li Siming also worked as an educated youth. The educated youth militias conducted basic military training every month, especially the soldiers of the Construction Corps have special military competitions every year. After all, they are not soldiers. What Li Siming is worried is that they will get into chaos in an emergency. If there are casualties, they will be different from those organized and led militias or migrant workers. Li Siming was still a little worried. Therefore, the best way is to go with the large troops behind.

Zhang Zhiqing had a firm attitude. The educated youth generation was always very excited. Li Siming believed that he would do what he said. Even if he drove them back, they would follow him.

"Okay, you will be with us, but I ask you to obey my command! This is the battlefield. Once there is a situation where you don't obey command, no matter whether you are a soldier or not, I will implement battlefield discipline!" Li Siming said seriously. Anyway, militia and migrant workers always have to go to the front line to carry the wounded and deliver ammunition.

"Okay, we absolutely obey Captain Li's command." Zhang Zhiqing was very happy and turned to the ten militia behind him, "Brothers, do you think so?"
