All my conceit comes from my inferiority, and all my heroism comes from my weakness. The words in his mouth are full of doubt, and the affection is because he hates himself for being ruthless. There is nothing in this world that is born of nothing, standing in the light, there will be shadows behind you, and there is silence in the middle of the night because you have not heard the sound.

Su Tao never expected that under the invitation of the black-faced colonel, he actually successfully passed the physical examination and the next series of conscription assessments, and smoothly wore a big red flower on his chest and camouflage green, and stepped on the military train to the border of the motherland in NJ Province.

Su Tao was assigned to the guard company directly under the B Regiment of an armored infantry division in the depths of a plateau in NJ Province, and coincidentally, he was assigned to the two young men who fought that day.

The short-sleeved boy named Xu Zhenqiang, a native of Weinan in SX Province, although he is five big and three thick, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, he is an authentic engineering student from Xi'an Jiaotong University.

The handsome and white man is called Huang Ru, a native of Hangzhou, JS Province. Graduated from Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, his home is a wedding photography studio, with first-class photography skills, he has been to many places, and he is an eight-level English major and a part-time tour guide.

The three brothers don't know each other, and they have become very good friends. The grief of leaving home, because of the reunion of the three people, turned into a surprise.

In this way, Su Tao came to the deserted Gobi, the plateau, and the snow-capped mountains that could not be seen in the distance for the first time.

Su Tao's recruit company commander is surnamed Wei, he is an authentic Sichuan man, a non-standard Mandarin with his tanned black face and red face, no matter how he looks like a rural farmer, if it weren't for the military uniform on his body, Su Tao would have suspected that he was from the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War.

But these are not the most important things, Su Tao had a slight altitude sickness in the first month of coming to the recruit company, dizziness all day long, weightlessness, and no appetite. Xu Zhenqiang and Huang Ru were more serious than Su Tao, and they directly began to vomit, diarrhea, fainted frequently, and often felt poor breathing.

Huang Ru cried again and again to go back, regretting coming to be a soldier. Xu Zhenqiang was drooping all day long, sullen. Only Su Tao didn't complain, he had Zheng Yiyi in his heart, and he didn't want Zheng Yiyi to look down on him no matter what.

As a plateau soldier, the supply transportation only comes once a month, and the rice soup in the canteen is low in water, less salt and less oil, and there is no taste at all. Fresh vegetables are even more scarce, and they are basically invisible or intangible. Su Tao, the three of them, who were the company commander at the beginning, soon became black-faced and red-faced under the irradiation of the strong ultraviolet rays of the plateau, showing a trend of "plateau red".

The mobile phone was confiscated by the company commander as soon as he entered the barracks, and he was unable to communicate with the outside world, and he lived here like a year, and his daily life was very boring, he got up at half past five in the morning to wash, went out on time at six o'clock, ate breakfast at seven o'clock, started basic training on time at half past seven, finished lunch at half past twelve, cleaned the dormitory and the camp area at half past twelve, took a lunch break at half past two, and got up at half past two to continue basic training. I run a five-kilometer run until 4 p.m., come back at 5 o'clock to rest, have dinner at 5:30, go up the mountain at 6:30 and patrol until 8:30, and have free time after 8:30. But there are still two more posts that have to be stationed every week.

Because it is located in the northwest, the sun sets very late here, and it is still bright at ten o'clock in the evening. Without a mobile phone, Su Tao cultivated his interest in writing letters, and racked his brains every day to write a love letter to Zheng Yiyi, narrating his story in the army.

Su Tao's training is extremely hard, and all the movements that recruits can complete in half a month, he can basically master them in a week. The recruit's five-kilometer assessment results were broken by him again and again, and the company commander and several squad leaders were moved by Su Tao's desperate behavior and spirit, and they all sighed that such a good soldier should not be assigned to such a distant place.

The three months of the recruit company ended quickly, Su Tao was awarded the title of "excellent pacesetter", and there was also a regimental commendation, and he was assigned to the guard squad of the guard company directly under the regiment, while Huang Ru was assigned to the automobile company, and Xu Zhenqiang was assigned to the third company of the armored infantry company.

The departure of the two brothers made Su Tao more silent, and at the same time, he was even more desperate, and he trained like crazy, and his weight in three months of the recruit company changed from the original eighty-six kilograms to seventy-six kilograms, and he lost twenty pounds of flesh, and his face was as thin as if he had been cut with a knife.

The regiment's guard company was not on the mountain, but was stationed close to the regimental headquarters next to a small town at the bottom of the mountain, and the food and equipment were also very different from before, after all, it was to protect the safety of the regiment leader. Although the training tasks are more demanding, the living conditions are relatively comfortable, at least I can eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

Su Tao's desperate training made him impressive in the regiment headquarters and the guard company, and within a month of coming to the guard company, Su Tao was promoted to the deputy of the first class of the guard company because of his excellent achievements. When it was time to start contacting firearms, Su Tao worked hard to study my country's 95 rifle gun clan and 92 gun clan, he loved to play guns, so he also worked hard to improve his shooting level, and everyone would go to play cards and sing and chat during free time at night, only Su Tao stayed on the shooting range in the compound, with a brick hanging under the gun head, practicing aiming.

From the uncomfortable and unaccustomed at the beginning, to the end it slowly became a habit, and then finally became numb. Su Tao felt that he had become one with the army and the plateau. Even in his mind, he slowly began to forget Zheng Yiyi, and forgot his three good brothers in college, Zhao Bo, Xu Shaohua, and Su Chenyang. All he could think of was training, training, training...

At the moment when Su Tao's fate changed, it had to start from the days when Zhao Bo cheated, Yang Tianxin and Xu Shaohua were about to break up, and Su Chenyang lived with his favorite Jin Chendong.

That day, as usual, Su Tao and his comrades finished patrolling and rushed to the base camp. A local herdsman of a small ethnic group drove thousands of sheep past them, and there were many herders around their station, so the warriors were not surprised. But that day, from the side of the flock rushed out of an animal that looked like a fox and a wolf, so that the flock was greatly frightened, from the leader of the sheep began to go crazy and led the flock to run forward, the herdsman shouted and screamed, threw stones, whipped to no avail, and saw a cliff appear in front of the flock of sheep running forward, once the sheep rushed down from the cliff, the result was unimaginable, and the herdsmen's property was destroyed.

The herdsman couldn't stop it, knelt on the ground and cried, Su Tao suddenly rushed out of the team, ran to the edge of the cliff quickly, and raised the steel gun in his hand to the sky, and fired a shuttle, the sheep heard the gunshot, stopped the commotion, but the leading sheep still couldn't stop Su Tao from the cliff.

The cliff is more than ten meters high, Su Tao is like a kite with only a broken line, in a beautiful parabola, flying straight down, fortunately, the bottom of the cliff is all soft sand and gravel, Su Tao picked up a life. But because of this, the skull was cracked, and there were seven or eight fractures on the body.

Su Tao was urgently sent to the nearest city hospital for treatment, because of the protection of the people's property and the maintenance of the harmony and stability of the local ethnic minorities, Su Tao was awarded the "second-class merit" by the NJ Provincial Military Region, and during the two months of his treatment, Su Tao was promoted to a non-commissioned officer and extended his service time......

Su Tao never dreamed that it was such an accident that made him and the army form an indissoluble bond...
