Chapter 19 The Iron Camp The Flowing Soldiers
By the time Jiang Chen returned to the dormitory, most of the people in the class had changed into their regular clothes. At the urging of his comrades-in-arms, Jiang Chen, who had changed into his regular clothes, also came downstairs. More than a hundred privates looked very eye-catching.
The first row and the second class were adjacent, and in Zhao Ziming's hateful eyes, Jiang Chen walked to his position as if he was nothing.
At this time, the nine squad leaders also changed into regular uniforms, and the rank of the second-level non-commissioned officer on the epaulette of Ge Chao, who was ranked first, blinded the eyes of all the recruits, and there were few second-level non-commissioned officers in the whole division. Especially the first class of fighters, especially proud of this.
"It's all there!" Ge Chao walked up to the recruits and ordered, "Turn right! Walk in unison!" Under Ge Chao's command of 121, more than 100 people, including the squad leader, slowly walked towards the gate of the Tiger Regiment.
Along the way, a whole company of soldiers dressed in regular clothes appeared, and everyone gathered together in silence, and then, silently, walked to the gate.
Obviously, it was the first time for the recruits to see such a big battle, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, and those who didn't know thought that the commander of the military region was there in person.
A few minutes later, when the recruits arrived at the gate, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, and more than a thousand Tiger soldiers were already lined up on both sides of the road a few hundred meters of asphalt road. At the door, a bus was parked, and a colonel with several captain-level officers and colonel-level officers stood four or five meters in front of the military vehicle, Jiang Chen saw his company commander Wu Xiong, and at the same time guessed the identity of the colonel, Bai Yuhao, the head of the Tiger Regiment, a madman regiment commander.
There was still a steady stream of soldiers coming, and then neatly on both sides of the road, and the position of the recruit company was right at the gate, it was the last company, Jiang Chen, who saw this scene, mistakenly thought that the military parade was coming, but this idea was quickly broken by Jiang Chen himself.
One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one
Bang Bang ........
There was a sound of neat footsteps and trumpets, and at the end of the road, a group of veterans with backpacks and camouflage uniforms without military ranks appeared, all of whom had tears in their eyes.
Retirement, this is the only explanation Jiang Chen can think of, as early as Jiang Chen was ten years old, he experienced such a thing, when He Jie's old squad leader retired, He Jie took Jiang Chen to send the old squad leader together. And that day, He Jie cried like a little child.
"Salute!" Sure enough, when the veteran team walked through the first company, under the command of a company commander, the soldiers on both sides of the road neatly saluted the last military salute given to them in their lives. Like breaking waves, wherever the veteran team goes, the soldiers of that place will salute.
"Let's go!" When the team was halfway through, except for the new recruits, the rest of the soldiers shouted these two words in a tacit understanding, which startled the recruits present.
Like a balloon bursting by someone, the veterans could no longer control their feelings, and tears flowed out of their eyes like a flood of water, and they were sunburned on the black asphalt road one after another, as usual. It's just that it's usually sweat, but today, it's tears.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, and his eyes gradually began to moisten, and when he turned his head to see his squad leader Ge Chao, he saw one tear after another flowing from his eyes.
The long war song sounded, this is the battle song belonging to the Tiger Regiment, two flags slowly raised, one is the flag of the Chinese country, and the other is the battle flag belonging to the Tiger Regiment.
Looking at everything in front of them, the familiar scenes, the familiar battle flags, the familiar war songs, and their familiar comrades-in-arms, including their comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, the soldiers they had personally trained, and the squad leaders who taught them strictly.
Thousands of people had red eyes, and they cried at this moment when they were not flinching in front of the stern instructors, in the face of harsh training, in the freezing and hot environment, and they were fearless in front of the rain of bullets.
The sky was overcast, and a raindrop the size of a soybean slapped on the green leaves of the treetops, and then, more and more raindrops began to fall, and a heavy rain came, but none of the officers and men of the LTTE left.
The road finally came to an end, and when the veteran team passed through the last company, that is, the recruit company, all the officers and men of the recruit company gave the highest respect to this group of veterans.
Bai Yuhao, who was dressed in regular clothes, stood in the rain, the rain had already soaked his whole body, and no one cared about it. I am used to seeing countless separations and even separations between life and death, but at this moment, Bai Yuhao's red eyes and slightly trembling face showed that he was extremely uncalm in his heart at this time.
"Report to the head of the regiment! After the veterans have been assembled, there should be thirty-four, but there are thirty-four! Please instruct! Veteran Fan Chenjie!" In the rain curtain, one of the oldest veterans said tremblingly, the raindrops hit his dark face, and then fell down his cheeks to the ground, and he didn't know how much rain and how many tears were inside.
Bai Yuhao stared at the more than thirty veterans in front of him, wanting to imprint every face in his heart. Iron battalion, flowing soldiers, since Bai Yuhao became the head of the Tiger Regiment, after completing the teaching of recruits in the division headquarters, the first day of the recruits coming to the Tiger Regiment is the day when the veterans are discharged, and the veterans who should have been discharged half a month ago according to the regulations have been dragged out until this time, Bai Yuhao has his own considerations.
"Ge Chao!" Bai Yuhao suddenly shouted.
"Here!" Ge Chao, who was beside Jiang Chen, stepped out, wiping the tears and rain from his face with his right hand.
"Come here!" Bai Yuhao continued to order.
"Yes!" Ge Chao trotted in front of Bai Yuhao, his military boots stepping on the waterway, splashing with gusts of water.
"Send your old squad leader!" Bai Yuhao looked at this veteran who was about to retire, named Fan Guojie, who had more than ten years of military experience, and also taught a large number of excellent soldiers. Ge Chao is the first generation of recruits led by Fan Guojie.
"Old squad leader~" Ge Chao's slightly crying hoarse voice slowly came out. More than a decade has passed, and the recruits have become veterans, and the veterans are about to leave this place full of meetings.
"That's right! It's all mixed up to this point!" Fan Guojie stroked Ge Chao's military rank with his right hand.
Ge Chaoqiang resisted the urge to cry, showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "That's not your education is good." ”
"Stinky boy!" Fan Guojie scolded with a smile, turned around and saw the soldiers of the whole regiment standing quietly in the rain curtain, and there were several soldiers hugging each other in front of the more than thirty veterans behind him, and the sound of sobbing kept coming, Fan Guojie finally sighed: "The squad elder is old! It's time to go!" There was always a hint of desolation in his tone.
"Squad leader~" Tears crisscrossed Ge Chao's face wantonly, Ge Chao stepped forward and hugged Fan Guojie tightly, and the two burly men hugged each other discordantly.
"Just know these things!" Jiang Chen, who had just finished wiping his tears not far away, scolded in a low voice, but his red eyes betrayed his true thoughts in his heart. Jiang Chen suddenly found that he liked it here, this kind of comradeship and brotherhood. Although it is indeed very sad for the Tiger Regiment to make this scene, Jiang Chen believes that every recruit present has made his identity clear, they are soldiers!
"Veterans!" shouted Bai Yuhao, who was the head of the regiment, after sorting out his emotions.
"Smack!" the thirty-four veterans habitually stood in a standard military posture, which could also be the last time in their lives.
"I, Bai Yuhao, am sorry for you!" Bai Yuhao bowed to the veterans, and the rain slapped on the faces of every soldier of the Tiger Regiment, and everyone looked at their commander intently.
"At the beginning, you dedicated your youth and vitality to the Tigers, and you once walked into the door of the Tigers without hesitation, and now, you will have to leave thousands of places that accompany you day and night. Here are your comrades-in-arms, there are your memories. All the honor of the Tiger Regiment is what you have exchanged for with sweat, blood, and life, but the honor is still here, and the people who created the honor are leaving this place, and what you have taken away is a full body of wounds and pain!" Bai Yuhao transmitted every word to the ears of the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment in the pouring rain. Then he gave a military salute to the veterans.
"Brush!" the whole group raised their right hands in unison.
"Brush!" the veteran also saluted his lovely comrades, "Forgive me for not being able to fight side by side with you, and forgiving me for not being able to live and die with you!"
Twenty-two words vividly express the strong unwillingness of these veterans.
"Boom!" the bus started slowly in the rain, indicating that the veterans were about to leave, and when leaving, the veterans collectively lay down and kissed the earth, wanting to keep this taste in their hearts forever, and what they tasted was the salty rain, which was the tears of the whole group.
"Board the bus!" Fan Guojie yelled, then hugged the veterans on the side, laughed, and thirty-four veterans put their arms around their shoulders and boarded the bus one after another in hearty laughter.
In the heavy rain, I couldn't see the faces of my comrades clearly, and those familiar faces may really become memories.
"Salute!" Wu Xiong roared, and all the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment gave these veterans one last dignified but ordinary military salute with high respect.
The car started slowly, and the veterans all leaned out of the window, crying and shouting for their brothers and comrades, even if the driver deliberately slowed down, the gate of the Tiger Regiment disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the bus that completely disappeared in the rain, the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment who were still drenched in the heavy rain seemed a little silent, even the veterans who were used to seeing life and death parting were a little sad at this moment.
