Chapter 8 Finding the Charcoal

"Company Commander, you didn't say it earlier. I thought it was such a serious punishment. Isn't it just to ask me to think of a way to make a fire and not smoke? This matter will be covered by me."

When Sun Lei heard the company commander Zhao Yifa say the punishment measures he had put on, just asking him to come up with an idea, he immediately patted his chest and promised confidently.

As soon as Sun Lei responded to this matter, instructor Wang Wenju stopped pretending to be an official and said with a smile: "Comrade Sun Lei, all the officers and soldiers of our company, the matter of making fires, cooking and heating depends entirely on you, the boy.

"As long as you come up with a good idea, you need to contribute your strength, and you need to contribute your strength. Company Commander Zhao, as well as the officers and soldiers of our entire company, will fully support you."

As soon as the instructor Wang Wenju finished speaking, the company commander Zhao Yifa and many soldiers who were watching nodded.

If Sun Lei's head was so good, he just thought for a moment, frowned and thought about it, and soon came up with a good idea.

After snapping his fingers with a "bang", Sun Lei pointed and the telescope hanging around the neck of the company commander Zhao Yifa. He said without hesitation: "Since that's the case, then what, company commander, borrow your telescope.

"I used him to survey the nearby terrain and see if there is any special wood that can be used to live without smoking."

After hesitating for a moment, the company commander Zhao Yifa reluctantly took off the telescope that he had carried with him for many years and handed it to Sun Lei.

Although this telescope is very dilapidated, Zhao Yifa seized it from the commander of a trump card during the War of Liberation. It was a brand new American product at that time. It was very easy to use. He carried it with him for more than three years.

"You new recruits, you really know how to pick and do it. I will lend it to you for some time. We will agree in advance. I will only lend it to you for ten minutes. After eleven minutes, I will return it to me immediately. Otherwise, no matter how great your kid has made, I will still deal with you."

After the company commander Zhao Yifa calmed down, he reluctantly cut off the telescope and stuffed the telescope into Sun Lei's hand, and said angrily.

After taking the telescope from the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei smiled and said, "Company Commander, don't worry, I won't break it. It will take only five minutes at most."

After saying this, Sun Lei, who is now a little fluttering, changed his tone and praised Haikou: "If you really break your telescope, I promise to seize a better, newer and more advanced telescope for you when fighting the American devils."

Regarding what Sun Lei said at this time, the instructor Wang Wenju and company commander Zhao Yifa, who were standing in front of him, just laughed it off, feeling that the new recruit didn't care about it even if he talked big.

After listening to the soldiers, Sun Lei, who were both arrogant and bragging in front of instructor Wang Wenju and company commander Zhao Yifa.

He first observed in all directions with a telescope. Sun Lei finally locked his target more than 100 meters away from them. The place where the US fighter plane that had just flew away was bombed by air strikes, which was where several broken houses were originally located.

After aiming at that place and observing with the telescope for a full minute, Sun Lei returned the telescope to the company commander Zhao Yifa.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Lei said to the instructor Wang Wenju, who was standing in front of him, "Instructor, I want to borrow a sack from which soldier in our company. I don't know which soldier in our company has it. I would like to ask the instructor to help you with this little help."

Although the instructor Wang Wenju didn't know what Sun Lei borrowed the sack to do, he still fulfilled his promise to fully support Sun Lei. After standing there for a while, he finally knew who was carrying the sack inside.

Wang Wenju waved his hands at the soldiers of the kitchen squad standing not far away, and said in a nearly commanding tone: "Who in your kitchen squad has sacks, hurry up and lend them to Comrade Sun Lei for some use."

Seeing that the instructors had spoken, Fan Wei, the squad leader of the kitchen squad, did not dare to neglect them, and called the four soldiers of their kitchen squad together. After fiddling for a while, he freed up an empty sack and handed it to Wang Wenju.

After taking the empty sack from the hand of instructor Wang Wenqiao, Sun Lei moved like a rabbit. After blinking his eyelids for a few blinks, he rushed out of the dense woods and headed straight for the ruins where the broken houses were blown up.

Seeing Sun's report, he left the team and left the forest. Company Commander Zhao Yifa was angry and anxious. He was about to scold him loudly, but was dissuaded by the instructor Wang Wenju, who was standing aside, so that all the officers and soldiers of the company could wait for the good news.

With the earnest expectations of all the officers and soldiers of the Third Company hiding in the woods, about half an hour later, Sun Lei carried a sack of things on his back and returned to the woods.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the winter sun shone, and the light hit the human body warm, while hitting Sun Lei's cheeks with a slightly dark and healthy complexion, a radiant feeling rose.

"Instructor and company commander, let the comrades in the kitchen team take the things in the sack to make a fire, so that there will be no smoke coming out, and we will not be exposed."

After Sun Lei put the sack full of things in the snow, he faced Wang Wenju and Zhao Yifa who were standing in front of him, and made a promise in a firm tone.

The company commander Zhao Yifa, who was very curious about the things contained in the sack, couldn't wait to open the sack and see that it was filled with black wood. He was so excited that he had just now, but a look of disappointment was on his cheek.

A black piece of wood was taken out of the sack, put it in front of everyone standing in front of him for a few glances, and then asked Sun Lei with a hint of anger, "What are you getting? Look at the wood is so dark, let's use it to make a fire, it's just a waste of money. You guy is deliberately using these black and broken things to fool me and the instructor, right?"

Without Sun Lei's answer, the instructor Wang Wenju, who was standing beside him, reached out and snatched the small black piece from the company commander Zhao Yifa's hand. After careful examination, the smile on his cheek immediately became brighter under the sunlight.

"It's terrible to be uneducated. Zhao Erlangzi, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is not the useless piece of wood you say, but the charcoal. After it is fully burned, it usually won't smoke out.

"How could you blame Comrade Sun Lei indiscriminately just now? We should praise Comrade Sun Lei. Old Zhao, hurry up and apologize to Comrade Sun Lei." Instructor Wang Wenju pointed at the black wooden block in his hand, and the company commander Zhao Yifa, who looked disappointed, criticized and educated him.
