Chapter 42 Division of Troops and Lower Company
Everyone is unknown to the ignorant world, and as for the taste of it, it can only be gradually understood after experiencing practice.
After the parade, because everyone achieved a good result in first place, from April 30, all classes, platoons and camps were busy writing appraisals. At the same time, merit awards will be awarded. Happily, Wang Forest received another camp commendation order this time.
Although the parade training is hard, it is worth it to achieve good results. Coinciding with the arrival of the "May 1" and "May 4" festivals, the camp leaders arranged a variety of entertainment activities, so the comrades-in-arms in those days were rarely relaxed.
On the morning of May 5, Wang Forest and his comrades-in-arms began their professional studies again. However, at that time, the study was in the final stage and the revision stage.
After 10 days, the army began to arrange professional assessment and acceptance.
Seeing that the dates were approaching, the comrades-in-arms were busy: taking group photos, exchanging photos and items, and leaving messages, blessings, and contact information.
On the morning of the 14th, the operator was professionally assessed. All the personnel passed the acceptance assessment, and Wang Forest was also very happy, because he had achieved a good score of 96 points.
On the morning of the 15th, the troops were mobilized. The head of the camp introduced the situation of each grassroots company, emphasizing that everyone must obey the assignment with peace of mind......
On the afternoon of the 17th, the leaders of No. 3 and No. 5 arrived at the camp at the same time to prepare for the division of troops.
Coincidentally, Wang Forest and the No. 3 leader met each other, and he greeted happily: "Hello chief!"
"Hello, Comrade Wang Linlin. Chief 3 responded with a smile. Instead, he asked softly, "Oh, what do you think about today's work assignment?"
"Report to the chief, the first is to obey the arrangement, and the second is the same sentence: where it is difficult, go there!" Wang Linlin replied seriously.
"Yes, good comrade!" laughed.
……
When the troops were divided in the evening, Wang Forest was really assigned to the three companies with the most difficult conditions. Although many comrades-in-arms felt sorry for him, he was calm: because he was in his youth, and the purpose of joining the army was to receive training, the more difficult the environment, the better the place to exercise and grow.
When the troops were divided, the No. 5 leader designated Wang Forest to go to the temporary head of the third company for this purpose. After the division of troops, he specially convened a meeting of the temporary responsible persons of each company and put forward several opinions and requirements to everyone: First, they should be responsible for the safety of their comrades-in-arms on their journeys and provide enthusiastic services; second, they should explain the precautions on the road and ensure that safety comes first; third, they hope that after they arrive at the company, they will talk less and do more and do a good job in their professional training; and fourth, they must learn well and not learn badly......
After the No. 5 leader finished arranging the work, he joked with everyone: "Among you, maybe there will be a lot of company commanders and regiment commanders in the future, I hope you will work hard to fight for it!"
At the end of the meeting, the No. 3 leader instructed separately: "Comrade Wang Linlin, after you arrive at the company, you must work hard, and I will go to the company to see you if you have the opportunity in the future!"
……
When it was time to separate again, the comrades-in-arms were sad and reluctant. It's just that there are a lot of people who left this time, and only some of the comrades-in-arms who studied newspaper service were left in the camp.
In the evening, the camp arranged a dinner, and everyone raised a glass to the comrades-in-arms and brothers who loved each other one by one: don't cherish the words!
Because Luo Zongsheng was a newspaper operator, he stayed. On the eve of Wang Linlin and him breaking up, the two chatted for a long time......
On the 18th, I got up at half past two in the morning and hurriedly bid farewell to the camp at about five o'clock. In the carriage leaving the camp, everyone had a trace of sadness that could not be erased; yes, everyone had lived in the camp for more than half a year and had made so many comrades-in-arms and brothers-in-arms, but now they were leaving......
Goodbye camp, this is the first stop of everyone's military career;
Goodbye camp, this is also a place that every comrade-in-arms will never forget in this life!
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull, but Ma Xiaobing took the lead in singing. So, everyone sang along.
Around six o'clock, Wang Forest and his entourage arrived at the long-distance bus station in Fuzhou City. Everyone checked their luggage first, and then took the long-distance bus to Yutian County at 6:30. There are seven new comrades-in-arms in the company: Lin Huaqiang, Zhu Yang, Ye Jianlin, Xu Renmin, Li Wangsheng, Yang Hua and Wang Linlin.
The car left Fuzhou City at seven o'clock and drove on the highway along the Minjiang River. Two hours later, the heading towards the mountains began. At the foot of the mountain, everyone looked at the towering peaks, and the car climbed along the winding mountain road, and just reached the top of the mountain, they saw another peak; in this way, they turned seven or eight peaks in succession, and truly realized the saying that "there are mountains outside the mountains."
Wang Forest had never seen so many mountains so high, and the road was surrounded by high mountain rock walls on one side and steep cliffs on the other. The whole person's heart often can't help but hang!
On the bus to Yutian County, a passenger asked Wang Linlin: "Are you going to Boulder Mountain?"
Wang Linlin nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
The passengers shook their heads and said that it was very bitter: the mountains were high, it was wet, it was very cold in winter, and it was not good to eat, etc.
"It's okay, we're not afraid of hardship!" replied the comrades-in-arms. In fact, everyone said this, but they were also at a loss in their hearts......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Linlin and his entourage arrived at the Yutian County Bus Station. Since they did not see anyone who came to pick them up, everyone sat in the waiting room and waited, and it was not until about four o'clock that two old comrades-in-arms came and placed everyone in the Yutian County Party Committee Guest House.
On the 20th, the company's truck took everyone to the company, which took more than two hours all the way. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the legendary company - Boulder Mountain.
There is something strange about things in the world, and although the climate in the mountains is harsh, there are also beautiful and strange scenery that ordinary people cannot appreciate. ——If the heart is peaceful, it will bloom by itself!
After being discharged from the army for many years, Wang Forest once wrote a small text of reminiscences about the living environment of the company, which is excerpted as follows-
Our company is located in the mountains of the south, at an altitude of 1,629 meters above sea level. There are no tall trees on the top of the mountain, mostly shrubs and grasses, strange peaks and boulders, on the mountainside, there are many pine trees and miscellaneous trees, and in the mountain cols, there are many shrubs, flowers and plants, and there are also mountain streams and canyons, where the water flows or gurgles, or slopes straight down and splashes rocks.
Standing on the top of the peak, looking into the distance, but seeing the mountains undulating, vaguely boundless. The top of the mountain is dark green, or you can see one or several trees...... Isolated and loose trees, mountainside trees, bamboo grass are lush and pleasant, and between the mountain passes, you may see the thatched huts faintly, and you can see the stream flowing for a long time.
On a sunny morning, or after a rainy day, you will see clouds and mist surrounding the mountains, with only the green peaks and the milky white sea of clouds.
In April, May and June, the mountains are full of red and red, and the flowers and trees are really green, and they are beautiful.
Alpine weather, in general, is the most suitable for the three months of August, September and October. The rest of the season is foggy, rainy and windy. Fog, in particular, is the worst. Sometimes for more than a month, I don't see the sun showing my face. It has been calculated that there are about 60 to 70 sunny days per year on the mountain, and the rest are rainy and foggy.
The fog on the high mountains was both abundant and heavy, and because of the heavy humidity, everyone on the mountain suffered greatly. As a matter of fact, the leaders of the unit are very concerned about everyone's daily life.
In order to mitigate the dangers of fog, the company's housing was also designed to prevent fog and moisture: the roof, floor and surroundings of the interior were lined with wooden panels, and the windows were two- or three-storey inside and outside to protect against moisture. The beds and quilts were always damp, the clothes in the cupboards were also damp, the floors were always damp and slippery, and the whole room was filled with the smell of mold.
When the fog is heavy, if you walk out of the room, it only takes a moment for your hair and beard to shine, and when you see the wall of the passage of the barracks, "sweat beads" are dripping...... Walking into the dining room, the tables, stools, and floors are all wet......
The company's sports and recreational activities mainly include: single (double) pole, table tennis, basketball, billiards, Go, chess, etc., and there are many kinds of magazines and newspapers in the reading room. Since 1988, there has been a library, with about 500 to 700 books of all kinds, most of which I have read.
Underneath the other position, there was an air-raid shelter. The length of the cave is about 400 meters, the width and height are about 3 meters, and there are stairs in the middle to reach the No. 1 position. There is a clear spring in the puddle in the cave, and when the comrades-in-arms are on duty, they often carry water or wash there.
Although our company is hard, there is also too much happiness for us!
Whether it is hard or happy, it is the memory and longing of our lives!
