Chapter 1071 Different Arms
Although the departure is imminent, the daily arrangements for the troops on the island have not changed, and they are carried out on time every morning as always. The physical training of the special operations battalion has always been famous for its large amount. Although Qian Tiandun and Gao Qiaonan had no time to take into account the training arrangements of the troops due to the operation in Hangzhou during this period, the daily training of the special operations battalion was not slowed down. This day was another routine armed cross-country training every ten days. The soldiers set out from the camp near Dinghai Port before dawn and entered the mountainous area in central Zhoushan. Each of them had to carry thirty kilograms of personal combat supplies. During this day, they will complete a mountain road march of about 20 to 25 miles. During this period, according to the commander's arrangements, some tactical drills for field operations will be temporarily inserted.
This kind of intense training must be considered a chore for other troops, but for the soldiers of the special operations battalion, this is just one of the three unshakable training arrangements every month. It is said that this is the last armed training before the troops depart. There will be no similar large-volume training in the near future, which can be regarded as leaving some time for the soldiers to adjust their status and reserve their physical fitness.
The participating troops did not end their training until the afternoon and returned to the camp. Although most of them looked very tired from the day's training, not everyone's physical energy was exhausted. Sun Zhen did not seem to have suffered much. After returning to the barracks and taking a shower, he went to the company headquarters to apply for leave.
Sun Zhen met a friend named Wang Jinmin on the immigration boat on his way from the southeast of Shandong to Penghu the year before last. This man and Sun Zhen were both from Dengzhou Prefecture, and they were similar in age, background and experience. After arriving in Penghu, they met again He surrendered to the Haihan Army. It's just that Sun Zhen was picked up by the officers of the special operations battalion, but Wang Jinmin was included in the cavalry establishment because he had been working in a horse gang before joining the army and was familiar with the habits of horses, and was sent directly to Hainan Island for training.
In the following two years, the two traveled to the south and the north, and rarely met each other. They only met in Sanya during the founding celebration this year. When Sun Zhen returned to Sanya last time, he knew that the army was selecting personnel from Shandong in preparation for the northward movement. At that time, he expected that Wang Jinmin would probably be selected as well. A few days ago, he heard that the cavalry battalion would also arrive in Zhoushan in the near future. , he knew that his friend would also show up, and planned to go to the cavalry camp to invite him out to have dinner and drink together to chat about the current situation.
After the two met at the entrance of the cavalry camp, Sun Zhen took him to the food court in the port area. After this seaport was taken over by Haihan people last year, the port area was re-planned and adjusted in accordance with Haihan's business methods, and some projects with Haihan characteristics were added, including the food street. Not only are local restaurants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang settled here, but there are also southern flavors from Fujian and Guangdong. Of course, the restaurants with the best business are those run by Haihan people. For foreign merchants coming in and out of Zhoushan Island, inviting business partners to have dinner at Haihan Restaurant is a very fashionable social activity at the moment.
Wang Jinmin saw that the restaurant Sun Zhen was about to enter was luxuriously decorated, and immediately grabbed him and said, "Brother Sun, we are friends, so there is no need to come to such a luxurious place to eat. I think it's better to find a small restaurant." .”
Sun Zhen smiled and said: "I am half a landlord after all. You are a guest from afar, so of course I want to treat you to a decent meal. You don't have to worry about the expenses. The military pay in the special operations camp is not low, not to mention that the restaurants here are facing the sea. The Han soldiers all get discounts, and the two of us can’t afford much.”
Wang Jinmin couldn't resist Sun Zhen, so he followed him into the restaurant. The two of them did not change into civilian clothes when they went out. When the waiter saw their military uniforms, he immediately came over to greet them: "Two military masters, do you have a position?"
Sun Zhen shook his head and said: "No."
The waiter said: "The private room is gone now. The two military masters can take a seat on the second floor. Can I arrange a seat by the window for you two?"
Although Sun Zhen was generous, he was not so arrogant as to ask for a private room for two people to eat. He was not picky about this kind of thing at the moment, so he let the waiter lead him to the second floor and found a corner seat on both sides of the street. . However, both of them were wearing military uniforms, which made them look a bit conspicuous in this restaurant, so Sun Zhen asked the waiter to bring two screens to separate the table where they sat.
Sun Zhen ordered a few dishes, ordered a bottle of Sanya special wine, and sent the waiter away. It had been three months since he and Wang Jinmin met again in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, thousands of miles away from Sanya. It was rare in this era of inconvenient transportation. This feeling of intertwined time and space was really sad. Wang Jinmin asked him about his experiences after the last meeting. Sun Zhen thought about it and deliberately did not mention the special operations battalion's operations in the Miaoli area.
At that time, there was only one platoon of special operations battalion soldiers participating in the operation. The instructions they received were that all their actions and what they saw and heard during their stay in Miaoli must be kept secret until the official announcement of declassification. Although Sun Zhen didn't quite understand why the leaders wanted to build a seemingly useless base in the mountains dozens of miles away from the coastline, and also go to great lengths to clear out all the natives within a radius of dozens of miles, but Since the chief has declared that this is a national secret, then as a soldier, he must obey orders and keep secrets for the country.
Sun Zhen's experience after leaving Miaoli was lackluster. After returning to Zhoushan, he trained day after day. Although Gao Qiaonan selected a group of capable people when he went to Hangzhou, Sun Zhen was a typical northern man. This secret operation What was needed was soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so although his personal strength was good, he was not selected.
Wang Jinmin's military experience is not as rich as that of Sun Zhen. The cavalry battalion had been stationed on Hainan Island before going north this time, and it rarely received real combat missions. Therefore, although the two of them joined the army at the same time, Sun Zhen Prior to this, he had passed last year's Taipei Battle and Zhoushan Battle, and was awarded the third-class collective merit twice and the third-class individual merit once. While conducting a reconnaissance operation against the indigenous tribe Maolishe, he had a fierce battle with the natives that lasted for several hours. He commanded properly and successfully covered the retreat of his teammates. Not surprisingly, this feat will also be rewarded by the Ministry of Defense.
Although Sun Zhen's current actual position is still squad leader, he had already taken up the position of acting platoon leader when he returned to Sanya with Chen Yixin in April. Coupled with his subsequent performance in Miaoli, his promotion within the year is basically a certainty. In comparison, Sun Zhen was promoted much faster than Wang Jinmin. Although the military uniforms worn by the two men were of the same style, the collar badges symbolizing military rank were obviously different. Sun Zhenneng took the initiative to invite Wang Jinmin to the restaurant for dinner, and the salary he enjoyed as an officer was also his greatest confidence.
The two of them ate and drank for a while, and the number of guests upstairs gradually increased. Soon the table next to them, separated by a screen, was filled with guests. According to their accents, there were actually several overseas visitors among them.
"He's from Japan." After hearing a few words, Sun Zhen came to a conclusion about the identity of the people at the table next to him. His immediate superior, Commander of the Special Forces Battalion Gao Qiaonan, is said to be from Japan, but apart from his height, there are basically no traces of Japan. The commander of the fourth company, Shiro Amakusa, is also from Japan. Sometimes he would use his hometown dialect to curse people with "Baga" when he got angry. Sun Zhen heard the people at the table next to him occasionally saying "Baga", and their accent was exactly the same as Shiro Amakusa, so he thought it was him. A fellow countryman. Like other units in Haihan, the personnel composition of the special operations battalion is also relatively complex. In addition to the majority of Han and Annan people, there are also Li people, Miao people, and people of Japanese origin like Gao Qiaonan. As the largest trading port outside Hangzhou Bay, the nationality of the merchants here is several times more complex than the personnel composition of the war camp, with North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and other countries that are relatively close to here being the most complex. According to statistics from the Dinghai Port Port Center, on average, at least one of every ten merchant ships that dock at Dinghai Port is from one of these East Asian countries. There are at least three to five merchant ships from Japan every month, so it is not unusual to meet Japanese people here.
But not long after, the Japanese guy at the table next to him started slapping the table and scolding the waiter in not very proficient Chinese. I don’t know whether he disliked the food or complained that the food was served too slowly. The waiter stepped forward to explain and slapped him in the face without saying a few words. . Sun Zhen heard clearly from the side. He immediately threw his chopsticks on the table, stood up and opened the screen, pulled the waiter behind him, and said to the Japanese people: "Eat well, if you don't eat, then Go away, don’t make trouble here!”
These Japanese people were probably not newcomers here. As soon as they saw the military uniform on Sun Zhen, they immediately stopped and did not dare to make any more trouble. Seeing the effect, Sun Zhen returned and sat down. The waiter in the shop covered half of his face and thanked him profusely before leaving. Not long after, he brought over two plates of hot dishes and a jug of wine, saying that the shopkeeper saw the military master's righteousness and gave him some wine and food as a token of his gratitude.
However, this warning seemed to have a very limited effect. After a while, several Japanese people at the next table started to attack the little girl who was singing in the restaurant. The waiter who had been beaten earlier stepped forward to try to dissuade him, but was punched a few more times.
When Wang Jinmin saw Sun Zhen throwing away his chopsticks again, he knew that he couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately advised him: "Brother Sun, this matter should be handled by the police. Don't get yourself into trouble!"
Sun Zhen responded: "There are only twelve people in the Dinghaigang Police Station. How can they take care of so many things? Besides, Zhoushan is a military-controlled area. As an officer of the Haihan Army, it is my duty to take care of this matter. You don't need to persuade me." Come on, brothers, come with me and teach these drunkards a lesson!”
Wang Jinmin sighed helplessly, still imitating Sun Zhen, he threw his chopsticks on the table, pushed away his chair and stood up. He was not a civilian in the cavalry battalion, and he had many fights after joining the army. He just arrived in Zhoushan for the first time and didn't want to cause trouble. But since Sun Zhen had already planned to take action, he naturally would not be vague at this time.
Sun Zhen opened the screen and strode up to the Japanese people who were making trouble. He first grabbed one of them by the shoulder, swept it with his feet, and threw him on his back. The other people were probably drunk, so they didn't do anything again this time. Choosing to avoid it, he rushed forward with a loud scream. But these people are just ordinary businessmen, not samurai who have mastered fighting skills. How can they do it against two people who have received special training.
Although Wang Jinmin was not as tall as Sun Zhen, he was also very capable. He punched one of them and knocked him back four or five steps. He fell to the floor and rolled over after a circle. And Sun Zhen basically knocks people to the ground in one round. If anyone tries to continue struggling, he will not hesitate to punch them in the face.
Although the opponent had the numerical advantage, they were unable to hold on for too long. They were all knocked down almost instantly, groaning and unable to get up. The fight was over before the diners on the same floor could even stop him. Although Sun Zhen and Wang Jinmin were very controlled when they started, they still unavoidably affected Chi Yu and knocked over several tables of banquets nearby. Fortunately, the bystanders ducked in time, and no innocent people were hurt in the whole process, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
When the shopkeeper heard the noise upstairs and ran up from below, the scene was already over. Looking at the mess, the shopkeeper didn't know what to do for a while. If it were an ordinary brawl, it would have been reported to the police as soon as possible, but the people who caused trouble today were from the Haihan Army. One of them looked like a moderate officer based on his epaulettes. To the restaurant, he was considered one of his own. It seemed that There is something wrong with the reporting officer. But the people on the other side who were beaten were Japanese people. If they reported it to the police first, it would probably be more than just the Minato Police Station who would be involved in the matter. It might be another troublesome matter.
"Don't be embarrassed, report it to the official!" After the fight, Sun Zhen became much calmer and signaled the shopkeeper to report it to the official and let the police handle it. Of course, he could just slap his butt and walk away, but he couldn't escape from this kind of thing. There were military police in the army who were responsible for such matters. If they were found out, it would be more troublesome, so it was better to face it calmly. The military will definitely not hand over such incidents of brawls to the judicial department, but will choose to deal with them internally. At most, they will only be locked up for a few days.
"When the time comes, just say it was me who did it. There's no need to involve you." Sun Zhen didn't want to involve Wang Jinmin, so he took advantage of the fact that the police hadn't arrived yet, so he took the opportunity to formulate a line with him.
Wang Jinmin shook his head and said: "It's just a few days of confinement. Do you think I have never fought in the army?"
Sun Zhen smiled and said: "Well, Wang Jinmin, I really didn't make the wrong friends!"
The Minato District Police Station is only a hundred meters away, so after calling the police, several policemen came quickly. After briefly understanding what happened, the police officers who responded characterized the incident as a drunken brawl and wanted to take everyone back for questioning and recording. At this time, the few unlucky ones who had been beaten finally got up shakily from the floor. Two of them kept moaning and shouted in half-baked Chinese that they needed help from a doctor.
