Offensive warfare is a form of battle, which refers to the battle to conquer the enemy's strong defenses such as cities, passes, fortresses or strongholds.
“Unite and forge ahead, win the decisive victory!”
“Victory the decisive battle, march forward with courage!”
Beside the two kilometers of railway tracks at Yexi Bandao Station, the red flag roared in the strong wind. ring.
More than twenty members of the 131 crew shouted slogans, stuck their buttocks out, and used sickles and hoes to deal with the weeds on both sides of the tracks.
At this time, the scorching sun was beating down on his body like needles pricking his body. Liu Qingquan's throat had already begun to burn. He reported to Commander Bai and ran to the shade.
"Master Liu, would you like some water?"
Zhang Yazhi stood up with her hands on her hands and handed over a green kettle.
Liu Qingquan unscrewed the lid and took a few sips before letting out a long sigh of relief.
“Comrade Xiao Zhang, are you feeling better?”
In these days, everyone is scrambling for honor.
Since arriving at Yexi Switching Station, the 131 pack crew has devoted themselves to weeding like other crews.
Due to tight time and heavy tasks, the crew members worked day and night.
There was no electric light at night, so I used the headlights of the railway cars to illuminate myself, working overtime to race against time.
After a few days and nights, several flight attendants fell down from exhaustion and fell asleep wherever they wanted. Zhao Yazhi even fell ill.
She was slightly injured and could not leave the firing line, so she was assigned by Commander Bai to be responsible for logistics support.
"It's almost done. I'll go to the crossing station to pick up a bucket of boiling water and go back and work with you." Zhao Yazhi puffed out her chest, quite a bit like who said women are inferior to men.
If it were in the past, Liu Qingquan would definitely have persuaded Zhang Yazhi to rest for a while.
But now because the 131st crew is missing one person, the progress is far behind other crews.
In these days, everyone has only one goal, and that is to be number one.
"I don't know what Driver Li is doing. We are working very hard here, so he can stay far away." As soon as Liu Qingquan returned to the railway track, he heard the new flight attendant Zhang Chenxing muttering softly.
“Xiao Zhang, Duan Li has assigned important tasks to patriotism!”
“Writing and drawing with a pencil tip in the studio is considered an important task? Aren’t you just trying to be lazy? ”
Zhang Chenxing is from the old capital. He has seven sisters in his family, and his parents are both leaders. He has good living conditions and has never done any heavy work in his life.
At this moment, there were several big blisters on his palms, sweat was flowing down his face, and he was feeling angry, so he couldn't help but say something to Liu Qingquan.
The driver team is a whole, everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers. Before Liu Qingquan could react, Cao Wenzhi and Lao Zheng gathered around with hoes and sickles.
Cao Wenzhi heard that his apprentice was being slandered, so he rushed over and pushed Zhang Chenxing. He was so strong that he pushed Zhang Chenxing to his feet.
"What are you talking about! Is Aiguo the kind of person who cheats and cheats?"
The flight attendants next to them saw the conflict happening here and ran over to pull the two of them away. separated.
Captain Bai was taking the lead at the front door. Hearing the noise, he hurried over to ask why.
"How dare this kid insult my apprentice! Let's see if I don't beat him to death today." Cao Wenzhi was furious.
Captain Bai’s heart jumped suddenly when he heard this.
On weekdays, Cao Wenzhi was very protective of his apprentice. Anyone who dared to talk about Li Aiguo behind his back would be punished by him.
Not to mention an insult.
Cao Wenzhi had a very bad temper, but now he was holding a hoe and swinging it. He looked very scary, and Zhang Chenxing was also scared.
"Captain, misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding!"
Zhang Chenxing hurriedly explained with a smile: "I saw that everyone is working hard here, and Driver Li is hiding in the studio. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I complained a few words.
Driver Li is an advanced train driver in the country. I admire him very much, and I definitely didn’t mean to insult him. "
Let’s figure it out. After seeing the whole story, Captain Bai breathed a sigh of relief and asked police officer Lao Zhang to quickly grab Cao Wenzhi.
She raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her face, looked at Zhang Chenxing and said: "Xiao Zhang, you just came to our locomotive depot and you don't understand the situation.
In addition to being a train driver, Driver Li also shoulders the important task of transforming equipment for our locomotive depot.
Like the Patriot locomotive and the new furnace, they are all masterpieces of patriotic comrades. "
"The patriotic comrades writing and painting in the studio have made greater contributions than us! "
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. "Although Zhang Chenxing said apologetic words, he was a little unconvinced in his heart.
If he is not busy in the morning and is not busy in the evening, this is obviously intentional.
Seeing his look, Commander Bai knew that it was difficult to change someone's mind. He clapped his hands and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, Zhang Chenxing, please apologize to Master Cao and continue working.
I heard from the road inspector at the switching station that the 1621 crew has completed the cleaning task of 35 kilometers and has surpassed us. Come on guys! ”
Zhang Chenxing apologized to Cao Wenzhi.
Although he was not sincere, he still apologized, and Cao Wenzhi did not hold back.
When the members of the 131 crew heard that they had been passed, they all cheered up. The flight attendants, drivers, and police officers all picked up shovels and hoes and started fucking hard.
Even Zhang Yazhi resisted the discomfort, picked up the hoe and joined the team of hard work.
After a morning of hard work, the 131 crew completed the nearly three-kilometer weeding task, which was considered to be an overfulfillment of the task. The comrades of the crew still did not rest.
At this time, there was a roar of a train in the distance.
The comrades in the chartered group were already accustomed to trains. When they turned around and saw that it was a train carrying logs, they didn't even care.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the train: "Captain Bai, master, you are busy here!"
Everyone looked up and saw a young man squatting on the carriage.
While smoking a cigarette, he waved his hand in this direction, making it look as loud as possible.
"It's patriotism. Why are you here?" Cao Wenzhi was about to respond when the train roared away and disappeared.
Liu Qingquan carried the hoe and wondered: "Why is Patriot coming? Is the direction of the car still Yequan Station?"
"We will know later."
Captain Bai raised his hand to look at his watch and whispered: "Why hasn't the commuter bus arrived yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two crisp whistles sounded in the distance, and a small train was eating wildly. Eating and eating is coming from afar.
This small train is one size smaller than ordinary trains. It lacks a coal water tanker at the back. The coal water can only be stored in the driver's building, so the entire driver's building can only tolerate train drivers and stokers.
The small train is a coal truck left by the Japanese in the coal mine before liberation.
Later, the coal mine railway transportation was upgraded and replaced with patriotic locomotives, and the small train was sent to the Qianmen locomotive depot.
After the small train went through a lot of work in the maintenance workshop, four or five scrapped carriages were added to the back, turning it into a commuter train.
The railway soldiers who are responsible for transporting people participating in construction sites sometimes also help transport railway employees.
This time there was a large-scale weed clearing operation along the railway line. Thousands of railway employees participated in the battle, so small trains were sent over.
The speed of the small train became slower and slower, and finally stopped with a groan.
The train driver, Master Zhang, poked his soot-stained head out of the window and shouted to Captain Bai: "Comrades from the 131st crew, get on the train. If you wait a little later, stop." The food inside is getting cold.”
Hearing the shouting, the employees of the 131 crew climbed onto the train under the leadership of Captain Bai.
Entering the carriage, the seats inside were already full of people, and there were also many people standing in the corridor. These people came from various crews and workshops of the locomotive depot that participated in the critical battle.
Captain Chen of the 1621 crew was standing at the door. When he saw Commander Bai coming up, he laughed and asked: "Xiao Bai, how many tasks did your 131 crew complete this morning? ”
Captain Bai is a rare female conductor in the locomotive depot.
Although we now advocate gender equality and women can hold up half the sky, there are still many male conductors who think that having a lesbian as a conductor is a joke.
It wasn't until Captain Bai led the 131 crew to become the national outstanding crew that the buzz became quieter.
But people’s old ideas are always hard to change, and many male bus captains still like to “tease” Captain Bai intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Chenxing got on the bus after Captain Bai. When he heard his own driver being called "Xiao Bai", he couldn't help it.
"Captain Chen, our 131 completed three kilometers in one morning!"
"It's only three kilometers!" Commander Chen laughed, lit a cigarette, and looked behind him Drinker: "Old Seven, how much have we accomplished this morning?"
"Reporting to the commander, the total is five kilometers. I measured it myself, and it's not missing at all!" The waterman straightened his chest.
Five kilometers. Commander Bai’s heart skipped a beat.
Most of the 1621 package crew are young men, and there are only two lesbians among the flight attendants, while there are only three gay men among the 131 package crew.
At the beginning, the number of tasks completed by the 131-pack crew and the 1621-pack crew was about the same, but there was a difference in physical strength between men and women.
With the development of time, the 131-pack crew will be far behind the 1621-pack crew, and this gap will become wider and wider.
Commander Bai finally just sighed and congratulated the 1621st crew on their progress, acknowledging that the 131st crew was at a disadvantage.
The flight attendants in the 1621 package were all beaming with joy, while the 131 package crew had their heads drooped.
Uh-huh, eating like crazy, eating like crazy, eating like crazy, the little train arrived at Yexi Station with black smoke.
Captain Bai took the comrades of the 131st group out of the car and saw a strange thing placed beside the railway track, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Before they entered the station, they saw Li Aiguo walking out of the cafeteria carrying an aluminum lunch box.
"Driver Li, what's for lunch today?" She greeted with a smile.
Li Aiguo took a mouthful of rice: "Big oil bibimbap, there are radish strips in it, added with big oil, it tastes pretty good."
I heard that it is big oil bibimbap, those who are hungry The flight attendants rushed into the cafeteria with their hearts in mind.
At this moment, Li Aiguo squatted at the door of the cafeteria with an aluminum lunch box and took a big meal.
In his previous life, experts and scholars often explained the harmful effects of oil. Li Aiguo didn’t know whether it was harmful to the body, but this stuff smelled really good.
The rice grains are coated with oil and soy sauce, shining with oil, and there is no greasy feeling in the mouth. It is full of the aroma of rice, oil, sauce, and the delicious taste formed by the fusion.
Being able to eat a lot of oil these days is enough to satisfy you, what else do you have to worry about!
Captain Bai and Cao Wen packed their lunch boxes and came over.
"Patriot, are you here to help this time?"
"Yes, the studio's research is almost completed."
Commander Bai became excited: "That's great. Our private crew is lagging behind now. With you, we might be able to take the first place back."
At this time, 1621 crew members Captain Chen also walked out with a lunch box, and he found a bunch of garlic somewhere.
The fried rice with garlic tastes better. Li Aiguo stood up and grabbed half of it.
"Driver Li, if I hadn't seen you as an advanced train driver, I would have kicked you." Coach Chen grinned heartbroken.
He couldn't do anything about Li Aiguo, so he vented his anger on Commander Bai.
"Xiaobai, your 131st crew's current workload is so much worse than ours." "Although Driver Li is capable, he is only one person, and it is difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists, not to mention that we have more than a dozen hands."< br>
“Do you think you can win?”
Captain Bai was speechless, and even Zhang Chenxing, who always liked to bully, was silent.
After Li Aiguo finished eating, Zhao Yazhi brought a bottle of hot water and poured the hot water into the lunch box. Even the thin and thick ones were swallowed into his stomach without having to clean the lunch box.
He burped and said with a smile: "Captain Bai, you guys take a rest first and I'll go find a cow. Let's have a big fight in the afternoon."
"Looking for a cow? You want to plow the land?" . Driver Li, let me remind you that no groundbreaking is allowed along the railway line. We have to take it easy when we are digging, so please don’t mess around.”
Captain Bai was a little anxious.
“It’s urgent, Driver Li, you’re urgent.”
Driver Chen laughed so hard that grains of rice squirted out of his mouth.
It’s a rare opportunity to laugh at the nation’s advanced drivers, so how could you miss it?
Li Aiguo looked at Commander Chen: "Old Chen, you have worked hard every grain. Look at how much food you have wasted."
"Hiccup" Commander Chen's smile disappeared , hurriedly squatted down, picked up the rice grains that fell on the ground, and put them in his mouth again.
This is not for show, but even if he is the commander, he has not eaten white rice for a long time.
Li Aiguo raised his wrist to look at the time and said: "There is no time to explain. I will go find the cow first."
Although Cao Wenzhi didn't know Li Aiguo's intention, he still came up with an idea: "The employees inside the station may know where to find it. I just finished eating, let's go and ask."
The two came to the station , the dispatcher on duty at the station learned that the two were looking for cows, scratched his head and said: "This is really a troublesome matter."
"Isn't this a rural area? It's not like I can't find a cow. Come on, don't worry, we won't use the fellow's cattle in vain." Cao Wen stared.
The dispatcher explained: "Although Yexi Station is in a rural area, it is in the mountains. The area is full of mountain people and there is no need for big livestock."
Li Aiguo really ignored this point. , handed the dispatcher a cigarette: "You work here all year round, you must know where the cows are, right?"
The dispatcher took the cigarette and said with a smile: "There are several communes around the Wandao Station more than ten miles away from here. There must be more farmland there."
"Thank you!"
Li Aiguo feels like a player in an RPG game, collecting props everywhere.
It’s just that it’s more than ten miles from here to Yexi Tundao Station. The road is rugged. Even riding a bicycle would take more than half an hour, which is too time-consuming.
After borrowing the cow, it is also troublesome to bring the cow back.
Li Aiguo left the duty room and immediately saw the small train parked on the side road.
This thing is pretty fast.
Cao Wenzhi also saw what Li Aiguo was thinking, turned around and entered the duty room, and contacted the Qianmen Locomotive Depot dispatching room by phone.
"Patriotic, no train will pass through this section until five o'clock in the afternoon."
"It does not affect driving safety, then let's borrow a train!"
At this time, driver Zhang of the small train was leaning on his seat and sleeping with his eyes closed.
Li Aiguo had a drink with Driver Zhang when he held a meeting at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.
He walked over with a smile and woke up Driver Zhang.
"Old Zhang, the train is idle right now. Let me borrow it for a while."
Can I borrow a train at random? Who is responsible if there is an accident? ! Driver Zhang was about to refuse, but when he opened his eyes and saw it was Li Aiguo, he suddenly became happy.
"Driver Li, when did you come here?"
"Our 131st crew is weeding here." Li Aiguo explained the reason.
"The train leaves at one o'clock in the afternoon. Driver Li, you have to be back before one o'clock."
Although it was not clear why the old scalper was needed for weeding, Driver Zhang agreed without hesitation. .
The small train is not a regular train and does not have to follow strict regulations.
As long as there is no accident, no one will pursue it.
As an advanced train driver in the country, Li Aiguo will naturally avoid accidents.
"Brother, thank you." Li Aiguo bowed his hand to Driver Zhang: "When the conference is held at the end of the year, I will prepare a few bottles of good wine and let's have a good drink."
The stoker has come down now and follows Driver Zhang to the station to rest.
Cao Wenzhi assumed the position of stoker, and Li Aiguo entered the driver's building.
This thing is much simpler than my big train. The console is in tatters and the instrument casing is broken. Fortunately, the pointer can still beat normally.
The only advantage is that the layout of the driver's building is similar to that of a truck. The train driver can directly stick his head out of the window and observe the surrounding environment.
Li Aiguo sounded the whistle twice and pushed the air brake. The small train emitted a burst of black smoke and rushed towards Yexi Switching Station.
Although Yexi is deep in the mountains, the environment is very beautiful. It will be a famous scenic spot in later generations. We, Li Aiguo, also took the opportunity to visit the scenery.
The speed of the small train was not slow, it was fifty or sixty yards long. It only took Li Aiguo more than ten minutes to see the sign at the switching station ahead.
He blew the whistle at a distance as required.
The railing was slowly raised, and the train passed through the railing and stopped next to the broken shack at the switching station.
Li Aiguo just opened the car door and saw Yan Jiecheng, and couldn't help but take a breath.
The hair on Yan Jiecheng's forehead was all burnt, and a few large pieces fell off. It looked like it had been gnawed by a dog.
At this time, Yan Jiecheng was chewing on the burnt corn sticks. When he saw Li Aiguo walking down, he was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Patriot, why are you here?"
After reacting, Yan Jiecheng turned around and ran into the house.
Cao Wenzhi scratched his head and whispered to Li Aiguo: "Is this person Xiao Yan, the correspondent of our locomotive section? Why did he become bald?"
"Maybe it was an accident" Li Aiguo said casually.
When Yan Jiecheng came out again, he had a tattered felt hat on his forehead.
The felt hat was dirty and had several big holes in it. I didn’t know where I got it from.
"Brother Patriot, you're here." Putting on his old felt hat, Yan Jiecheng was obviously much more confident, and he said hello to Cao Wenzhi behind him.
Li Aiguo suppressed his laughter and handed the box to Yan Jiecheng: "Your parents asked me to bring it to you. There is a woolen hat in it."
"Thank you, Brother Aiguo. . ”
Hearing the hat, Yan Jiecheng became excited, and he soon realized something was wrong.
"Brother Patriot, have you ever opened the box?"
"Thankfully I did. The third uncle packed a bottle of explosives and a bag of lead shot inside. Otherwise, the train would have been shattered by now. "
"What about the gunpowder?"
"Of course it was thrown at your home."
Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng relaxed and said gratefully: "Patriot. Brother, thank you so much.”
Li Aiguo felt strange. He walked to the shack on the switch road and asked the reason.
After figuring it out, he suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry.
Yan Jiecheng always felt that he was a born old hunter. As long as he had a shotgun, he could go into the mountains and return with a full harvest.
Finally, he went up the mountain once. In addition to collapsing himself, he was also frightened by the wild beasts on the mountain and his legs became weak.
“Brother Patriot, you don’t know that those wild boars in the mountains are almost like small tanks and can knock down big trees.”
"There are also tigers, my mother, they look scary from a distance."
Most people in later generations have only seen beasts on TV or in zoos. Compared with real beasts, it brings a sense of security. People's sense of impact is completely different.
If we really go into the mountains and encounter a tiger, I am afraid that many people will not even dare to shoot, and they will be scared to death.
Not to mention hunting wild beasts.
Li Aiguo also told Yan Jiecheng about borrowing cattle.
Seeing that he was about to reach the shack, Yan Jiecheng blocked Li Aiguo intentionally or unintentionally and took his arm.
"Brother Patriot, you have really found the right person. I am very familiar with the leaders of Zhangzhuang Commune, and I will take you to borrow cattle now."
As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng He couldn't wait to pull Li Aiguo towards the east.
Li Aiguo felt that Yan Jiecheng's behavior was a bit strange. Before he could speak, a clear voice came from the shack.
“Brother Xie Cheng, is this your friend?”
I saw a girl wearing a floral coat and a ponytail coming out of the shack.
She has a delicate face. Although she is not particularly beautiful, she should be considered a social beauty in the commune.
Especially the girls are dressed much better than the average members.
Only the knees of his pants have patches, and there are no calluses on his hands. His face seems to have been wiped with cream, and his white teeth are exposed when he smiles.
Seeing the girl appear, Yan Jiecheng looked a little flustered and hesitated: "Xiaofang, didn't I tell you, if I let others know you are here, I will violate discipline."
"Brother Xie Cheng, I forgot." The girl lowered her head in aggrieved manner and pulled at the hem of her clothes.
Li Aiguo noticed that there was burnt ash on her hands. It seemed that the corn sticks made by Yan Jie were made by this girl.
This girl even understood each other as brother one by one. The intimacy was so intense that it could make one's teeth sore. The relationship between the two was already obvious.
Good guy, Yan Jiecheng was sent here and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Li Aiguo asked with a smile: "Jie Cheng, why don't you introduce me?"
Yan Jiecheng could only point to the girl in embarrassment and said: "This is Comrade Zhang Guifang, a female member of Zhangzhuang Commune. Zhang Guifang, this is the train driver of our Qianmen Locomotive Depot, Driver Li."
"Li Hello, driver. I just heard that you wanted to borrow the old scalper, right?" Zhang Guifang raised her head, flipped her hair, and a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes, "My father is the branch secretary of Zhangzhuang Commune, let's go, I will take you there. Borrowing cattle. "
The branch secretary's daughter... Well, Yan Jiecheng has climbed onto a high branch.
At this time Yan Jiecheng's face had turned red and he wanted to stop Zhang Guifang.
Li Aiguo, however, was a person who did not take things too seriously. He said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang Guifang, I'll help you."
Zhang Guifang walked in front with her hands behind her back, while Yan Jiecheng and Li Aiguo lagged far behind.
Yan Jiecheng glanced at Zhang Guifang and whispered to Li Aiguo: "It's not what you think. Comrade Zhang Guifang and I are just ordinary friends."
"Yes, you are just ordinary friends." Li Aiguo, on the other hand, I didn't pursue this issue, I just wanted to borrow from the old scalper.
