The winter night was long, and it was still pitch black outside at half past four. I went to the artillery field as usual, to see if there was a sentry at the entrance, and although it was pitch black, I could see the silhouette of a man, and as expected, a black figure stood upright.

"Password!" The voice was clearly a little trembling, it must have been a recruit standing guard, too nervous. Because after his questioning, there was a loud bang of the gun being drawn, and if I hadn't heard it wrong, the next thing would have been the loading of the bullet.

"Dashan!" I calmly replied, then walked forward and asked, "Are you a recruit?"

"Report, I'm from the wireless communication class, and my name is Gao Jianjian. The recruit's mouth is full of Hubei accents, and he has just enlisted in the army this year. No wonder you're so nervous?

"Gao Jianjian, you just ...... Is the bullet loaded?" I asked him.

"Yes!" Gao Jianshe replied truthfully.

"Remember, when standing guard, when you encounter a situation, you must first ask for the password, and if the other party does not answer, order him to 'stop!' If he does not stand, then pull the gun and tie it, and it is not too late to load the bullet, even if he needs to shoot, he must first shoot into the sky as a warning. You can't just pull the gun and load it. It's dangerous. Do you understand?"

"Understood. Thank you for your advice!" the young man was very polite although he was nervous.

"Alright. Nothing else, right?"

"Report to the chief, no!" Gao Jianjian reported, and I walked to the garage. It was peacetime, and no one came to destroy the artillery, but there were thieves who patronized the gun trucks, sometimes quietly unscrewing the locks on the cab and stealing what was inside.

I took out my flashlight and shone six gun wagons one by one, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so I slowly walked back. Seeing Gao Jianjian's shivering appearance, he reminded him: "If you can't stand the cold, you can go to the cab of the gun truck and sit for a while." ”

"Thank you, chief, it's not cold!" Gao Jianjian's chest straightened, and it seemed that it was really not cold. I couldn't talk in my heart, and I couldn't speak well, and I was pretending! But then I understood, recruits! I was always in a high mood.

It's not like those veteran oilers, who have to be lazy and lazy. Think about yourself when you first arrived at the guard platoon to stand guard, and every time you patrol all the routes according to the requirements of the regulations, unlike those veteran oilers, who often hide in the corridor of the agency in the middle of the night to keep warm, and some people even run to the cooking class to steal food!

When I left the artillery field, it was already five o'clock, and at this time, it was time to go to the mountains to practice. However, I felt a little cold, so I wanted to go back to the dormitory to warm up, but I hesitated, and I came to the dormitory unconsciously.

I can also go to bed and sleep for a while. At least you can lie down and rest. But at this moment, there was a ......sudden rush whistle outside, and in the dark night, the rapid whistle sound was particularly scary.

"Hurry! Assemble urgently!" I shouted, scurrying out of bed.

"Urgently assemble! Hurry!" Liu Haidong was the first to wake up and took the lead in jumping out of bed.

"Bangda!" a recruit turned on the lamp.

"Don't turn on the lights!" Liu Haidong was frightened when he saw the recruit, and hurriedly stopped him.

The lights were immediately turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness again. At this moment, I didn't know what was going on, so I subconsciously took out the flashlight I was checking the post, and after lighting it up, I rushed the electric light in the direction of the door.

In this way, although the room is not as bright as the lights are on, through the afterglow, the warriors will not be blinded. Because, just now, people were stimulated by the strong light, and suddenly fell into darkness, which will definitely affect the normal movement.

I don't want to cheat with a flashlight, but I can't let the fighters suffer either.

Emergency assembly in the guard platoon is a training subject that is often practiced, mainly to train the fighters to have the ability to react in the dark and the speed of assembly to deal with emergencies.

In order to improve your speed, you have to train repeatedly on two things, dressing and backpacking, so as not to affect your overall movement. I, a veteran, were already dressed when I checked the post just now, which saved a lot of time.

Next, I tied my backpack with three strokes and five divided by two. If I had passed, I would have been the first to run out. However, now that I was the platoon commander, I had to consider the actions of the whole platoon, so I strapped up my backpack and quietly unlocked the gun magazine.

This prevents the fighters from making mistakes in the dark. After doing this, I whispered to everyone: "Calm down, don't panic." Don't forget what to bring. ”

Then, he took his backpack and went out first, came to the corridor, and pushed open the doors of the second and third classes respectively. Coming to the gate, I did not hesitate to turn on the lights at the door, which was allowed.

If the lights were not turned on, the soldiers would likely crowd the door. I stood in front of the dormitory door, waiting for the soldiers to come out one by one. At this time, I heard Xu Xingchun shouting in the fourth class room: "Who the fuck is standing guard tonight, why is the stove extinguished?"

The wake-up time for an emergency meeting is usually five minutes. I just stood for a while, and then I saw Liu Haidong be the first to rush out, and then the first gunner, the second gunner, the fifth gunner, and the deputy squad leader in charge of containment all ran out.

Then came the people of the second and third shifts, and when I saw that the whole platoon was full of people, I shouted, "Run with me—go!" and brought the team to the front of the company department. I saw that the company commander was already standing there waiting.

According to the regulations, I should report the number of people to the company commander. However, as soon as he shouted the command "Stand", the company commander said: "Don't report, hurry up to the big playground!"

Only then did I realize that this emergency assembly was not a company operation, but a battalion-wide operation. After the company commander said that, he beckoned the people behind him to follow, and then he gave the command to "run and walk" and led the whole company to run in the direction of the artillery field.

I felt strange that in addition to my own platoon, the second platoon, the command platoon, and the logistics personnel behind me did not keep up! Why was the company commander in such a hurry to set off?

Halfway through the run, I saw the commander of the platoon, Song Chao, leading the team to follow. It turned out that the dormitory of the command platoon was close to the artillery field, and it did not waste time to plug in halfway. Look at the second platoon and the logistics personnel, I don't know when they also followed under the supervision of the instructor?

When I came to the artillery field, I saw that the battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, and deputy instructor were already standing in the command position. Gao Ming, the company commander, led the team to the battalion commander and hurriedly reported: "Comrade battalion commander, the number of people participating in the emergency assembly of the eighth company is 108, please instruct!"

"Stand by and prepare for the drill!" the battalion commander solemnly ordered. I was going to this morning!

I'm a lot more relaxed. I thought I was going to do professional training, but if that was the case, I would be prone to make mistakes, but now, as soon as I heard that I could do it, I knew the bottom of my heart.
