On the day of the march, Chen Hansheng experienced the same treatment as his second uncle when he was a soldier, first the brigade held a mass meeting, the cadres spoke, and then the recruits spoke. When it was time for the recruits to speak, Company Commander Dai glanced at Chen Hansheng, and Chen Hansheng rushed to the front of the stage, picked up the horn, and said loudly to the many people in the audience: "My name is Chen Hansheng! I volunteer to be a soldier! Being a soldier is a very honorable thing! The army is a big school, and I want to study hard there, pursue progress, and become a qualified soldier! Win glory for my hometown!"

Chen Hansheng originally thought of a few words casually, but won a warm applause.

The next procedure is to send the troops. The formation of almost hundreds of people, beating gongs and drums, is very beautiful.

Chen Hansheng walked in the ranks of recruits, and suddenly saw his fiancée Yang Xiaofeng in the ranks of sending soldiers. Yang Xiaofeng's eyes flashed, and she and another girl followed the team of sending the soldiers, all the way forward. The girl's fiancé is a young man named Yang Jusheng whom Chen Hansheng knows, and he is also from the place where Chen Hansheng's mother lives.

In Yang Xiaofeng's flashing eyes, there was clearly a dual intention of nostalgia and congratulations, Chen Hansheng could feel this, but for him, being a soldier was a man's obligation, and it was also his ambition to make something happen. Even if the fiancée already has a relationship, it can't be retained, and it is even more unchangeable. Although Chen Hansheng couldn't say anything, he also hinted to his fiancée with his eyes that he would wait for him at home for three or five years, and he would come back to marry him!

Yang Xiaofeng seemed to accept this gaze, and in her seemingly ordinary send-off, she revealed a proud emotion, which invisibly inspired Chen Hansheng and also made Chen Hansheng settle down a certain uneasy factor.

When the recruits came to the commune, they were not just a send-off of a few dozen people, but hundreds or even thousands of people. The entire road was almost occupied by recruits and send-off processions, and even the occasional vehicle had to stop to let the mighty procession pass.

When they arrived at the county seat, the team became even larger, and even wherever they moved, they occupied almost all the scenic spots in the county.

When Chen Hansheng was a little clueless, Minister Zhu, who was in charge of conscription in the commune, sent him a small notebook and said to him, "Behave well in the army, strive to join the party as soon as possible, and make more progress!"

Before Chen Hansheng could say a word of thanks, Minister Zhu was gone.

A large contingent that soon began to disperse depending on the class.

Chen Hansheng, like everyone else, carried a backpack and stepped onto a military vehicle. Sitting on the military vehicle, he was neatly dressed and carrying a backpack, for him, to become a regular soldier, now there are only two points, one is the soldier's collar badge and hat, and the other is a soldier's gun.

The military vehicle stopped on a large field somewhere in Wuhan, and under the order of Company Commander Dai, the soldiers in green military uniforms suddenly turned into big green frogs, jumped down from the military vehicle one after another, and then concentrated on the big field.

Chen Hansheng, who was standing in the team, only heard a chief speaking in front of the field. But after only a few words, the team began to disperse, and then another diversion.

The constant diversion of the team made Chen Hansheng feel as if he was lost, and he couldn't find the north for a while.

Fortunately, the team is about to eat, and Chen Hansheng can also breathe a sigh of relief and recognize the east, west, north and south.

The recruits had just finished eating, and when they didn't know what to do, Company Commander Dai suddenly shouted: "Chen Hansheng!"

Chen Hansheng was taken aback, he thought that he had made some mistake.

Dai Lian Commander announced loudly, "Now, you are the squad leader of this recruit squad! Along the way, you will be responsible for leading your squad!"

Chen Hansheng was both surprised and delighted, although he had long felt that this Company Commander Dai liked him, he never thought that Company Commander Dai would ask him to be the squad leader.

If it were someone else, he would quickly say thank you! But at this moment, Chen Hansheng seemed a little stupid, at a loss, and even had a feeling of being very uneasy because he was afraid of being incompetent. It wasn't until those recruits threw him envious and jealous glances, urging glances, that Chen Hansheng replied very slowly, "Thank you for the promotion!"

Chen Hansheng's inappropriate use of words made Company Commander Dai smile and say, "This is not a real promotion, and you are just a temporary squad leader! However, you have to do your duty and make a performance!"

Later, Chen Hansheng really realized that the squad leader on the way to the army for this recruit was obviously a temporary authorization. Even the squad leader of the recruit company is still temporary, and only when it comes to the veteran company can the squad leader really be regarded as a squad leader.

Although Chen Hansheng thought of making a performance, he did not have a specific certainty, he did not know how to perform the duties of a temporary squad leader, he only knew that he just listened to the words of the chief.

The next step in the itinerary was to drive from the provincial capital to the direct location of the troops. Chen Hansheng followed the team and came to a railway.

On the railway, there is a stuffy tank car parked, and it is very long before and after. Chen Hansheng had seen a train for the first time since he was born, so he was very curious, and even looked at the train out of his mind, until Company Commander Dai called out to him, he came to his senses and followed the team to the stuffy tank car.

The stuffy tanker was dark, with little light. High above, there are some sparse small car windows, and the windows are so small that you feel like you are sitting in a dark room. However, everyone's mood has not diminished, and they are still very excited.

Unable to see the outside world, everyone imagines how far the distance will be traveled by relying on the feeling of the train.

As time passed, the light in the stuffy tanker gradually intensified, and even they could see each other's faces clearly.

As the train moved forward, the recruits on the train gradually became mentally exhausted from the excessive excitement just now, and slowly fell asleep. The staggered sleeping appearance made Company Commander Dai feel ugly when he woke up, and even felt that this was not a PLA team, but a bunch of captive soldiers.

Company Commander Dai woke up the soldiers, and then said to Chen Hansheng, "Now is not the time to sleep, go to bed at night! Everyone sing a song!"

Chen Hansheng hurriedly responded, but he didn't know what song to let everyone sing, because Chen Hansheng himself couldn't sing.

Company Commander Dai saw Chen Hansheng's embarrassment, so he proposed, "Then I will teach you to sing a song that the recruit company must learn now." This song is called "I Joined the People's Liberation Army and Wore a Green Uniform"! Now, I will tell you the lyrics first, and everyone should also take notes!"

Chen Hansheng picked up the pen and the small notebook given by Minister Zhu for the first time, and began to remember it seriously.

The gist of the lyrics is:

I joined the People's Liberation Army and put on a green uniform,

I walked into the red school and carried the revolutionary gun.

The red collar badge hangs on both sides,

The five-star hat shimmers golden.

Chairman Mao, the Great Leader,

Pointing the way forward.

Loyal to the people and loyal to the party,

Defend the motherland and stand at a good post.

As soon as he wrote the first paragraph, Chen Hansheng felt a passion rising in his chest.

Company Commander Dai began to teach everyone how to sing this military song with the tune. The agitated rhetoric and high-spirited tunes of the military song immediately made everyone feel infected. When Company Commander Dai taught this song, Chen Hansheng began to audition with enthusiasm, and was ashamed of his idea of becoming a soldier or finding a way.
