The army is a special collective, and in addition to ensuring its own combat readiness, it also needs to have a keen ability to observe and react to changes in the outside world.

The highest altitude of Boulder Mountain is the No. 1 position, and the distance between the barracks and the No. 1 position is about a kilometer or so. Position No. 1 is where the company's combat readiness command post is located, and it is also the place where Wang Shulin and many comrades-in-arms work.

On the morning of June 15, Wang Shulin began to participate in combat readiness duty. During this period, he basically learned to turn on and off the machine, as well as simple debugging work, but the focus of his work is to learn how to report pictures.

On the 17th, the unit carried out a comprehensive combat readiness and rectification, and in the afternoon, several higher-level leaders were stationed in the company. It turned out that May 28, 1987, was the "Day of the Border Guards" in the Soviet Union. However, on this very day, Matthias Rust, a 19-year-old West German youth, swaggered down on Moscow's Red Square in a small plane and enthusiastically took pictures with tourists.

At that time, the Soviet Union had the world's most sophisticated air defense forces, and Matthias Rust's actions undoubtedly slapped the Soviet Air Defense Forces in the face. The "Red Square Plane Incident" shocked the entire Soviet Union and aroused great concern in the world. After the incident, more than 200 Soviet officers, including Soviet Defense Minister Sokolov, were dismissed from their posts.

During the period of combat readiness and rectification, the atmosphere of the company was solemn and tense; every day was a political study and skill assessment, and there was also an emergency assembly and training. The worst thing is that an 85-year-old comrade-in-arms was announced to be punished once by the company because of a mistake made during the rectification.

With the encouragement of the squad leader, Wang Forest has been working hard in the training of the newspaper map, but the situation seems to have entered a stalemate, and his results in each assessment have not improved much.

On the morning of the 27th, when Wang Shulin was on duty, he actually omitted a civil airliner throughout the whole process. Therefore, all the personnel on duty that day were criticized by the superior chief. The squad leader's professional level is the best in the whole company, but when there is such a mistake in the class, he yells very angrily: "Wang Linlin, get out!"

Wang Linlin, who made a mistake, was sad and left the studio silently......

Fortunately, Wang Linlin knew that the squad leader was really good to him, and remembered that when he was just assigned to the class, the other party said seriously: "In the future, I may lose my temper with you because of work, but you have to understand, it is also for your good!"

Feelings belong to feelings, work belongs to work, and the two cannot be confused; he understands the truth, but Wang Linlin still feels uncomfortable......

In the past, I always thought that I was not stupid, but now what is going on? Wang Linlin guessed: I may need to make up for my brain. So on July 4, he spent 2.6 yuan to buy a bag of milk powder and 1.5 yuan to buy a pound of eggs.

Wang Forest was a little distressed and discouraged, so he had to ask the squad leader for help. The other party encouraged: "In this matter, except for your personal need to strengthen your efforts, others really can't help......"

The words of the squad leader are true. Because Wang Linlin once had small talk with many veteran comrades in this regard, they said: "In the first year of off-board training, we can only rely on ourselves, and in the second year, we can only rely on veterans to take care of them and learn them with their hearts......

Because Company Commander Gao was also very concerned about Wang Linlin, the squad leader told the company commander about his situation again. Later, the company commander enlightened him earnestly: "Forest, since you came to the company, I have always been optimistic about you and valued you! Now I have arranged you in the No. 1 position, and I have the best skilled squad leader with you; so you can't let me down, and you must get the training up!"

The words of the company commander moved Wang Linlin very much. He nodded again and again and secretly determined: he must work hard to do a good job in training and never disgrace those who care about him!

Anyone who has served in the military knows that seniority and position are highly valued in the army, and seniority is particularly important in getting along with veterans and recruits.

Speaking of recruits to the company, I believe that every comrade-in-arms has a profound experience and story. In fact, if you think about it now, there are many situations that are understandable.

To be honest, the veterans of the army still prefer new recruits. Because most of the new comrades are more obedient, and they are just putting on the shelf. The recruits are mostly envious and in awe of the veterans, and the biggest hope is: the next batch of recruits will arrive as soon as possible!

During the period of recruits, they must master two key points: First, talk less and do more; second, strive to learn military skills.

The most taboo things to be taboo during the recruit period are: 1) Pulling relationships and factions indiscriminately; 2) Sneaking and playing tricks and not doing things; 3) Twittering and arguing with people all day long; 4) Not working hard at the bottom of the training......

Before Wang Shulin joined the army, his father gave him an explanation; after he joined the army, platoon commander Zhang Liangchun and many veterans also gave him many reminders; so after he joined the company, he was careful and worked hard in all aspects. However, the results went wrong......

It turned out that since Wang Linlin went down to the company, he was loved by the senior company commander and the squad leader...... This scene made the comrades-in-arms of the same year very envious, but it made the veterans of the company very unhappy!

One morning, when I was washing, I saw Zhou Haiyang (85 years soldier) squad leader of the second platoon, pointing to Wang Linlin's back, and said to everyone hatefully: "Look at this new recruit, he has only been in the company for a few days, but he is quite good at building relationships......

"Lao Zhou, why don't you give training and training?" Yu Zhiguo (86-year-old soldier) from the newspaper class pretended to be serious.

"Squad Leader Zhou, hurry up and wash your head, and let that kid-soak you and fertilize later. Hu Qianjin (85 years soldier) of the oil engine squad laughed.

"your ......" Squad Leader Zhou scolded Hu Qianqian with a smile and chased after him. Others, on the other hand, laughed.

Wang Forest knew that he was not in a good mood, so he hurriedly finished washing up, and returned to the room with a smoke. Originally, after washing his face in the morning, he was the most sober, but now he is a little confused......

After this incident, Wang Linlin became a little smarter: in public, he tried to keep a certain distance from those close to him. In addition, for those veterans who did not have a good impression of him, he was humble and respectful, and often took the initiative to call "Hello old squad leader!" or "Hello!......

Unexpectedly, the effect of this was so good that later, everyone got along well. Especially when Wang Forest later joined the party, Zhou Haiyang and others were strong supporters.

People, when encountering difficulties and setbacks, the most important thing is to adjust their mentality, and then they need to redouble their efforts!

The bottleneck encountered in the training of his own aircraft to report the map was the biggest headache for Wang Linlin. So, he wrote to his family and a few good classmates and comrades-in-arms...... As a result, all the letters were of consolation and encouragement. The excerpt below is partially shared –

Mother Liu Ying: ...... If they envy others or wait, it is better to work their own, and I hope you don't complain, you must learn to be strong!

Sister Wang Yaqin: ...... Times change too fast, and there is so much to learn. Although I have already gone to work, I still enrolled in the accounting major of the University of Electrical Engineering. Brother, you should not only improve your training results now, but also learn something else in the future...... I hope that our sisters and brothers will work together!

Comrade-in-arms Ma Xiaobing: ...... No matter whether there are smooth things or setbacks, we must be the same! When things go well, we don't have to be too happy; think about it, and say to ourselves that this is what we should be, and that I have paid for it! If it doesn't go well, we don't have to be unhappy, just think that we have paid the tuition once. …… A manly man must not be arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and not bow to bad luck; either he will not do anything, but he will do it well; "quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit", isn't it?......
