"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao", when I was in a daze, Chen Cai's shout brought me back to my senses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's the matter? I jumped out of the tank and smiled at Chen Cai.

"Brother Xiao, do you want to hear any news"?

"What gossip scandal do you have again"? Hearing this, I instantly smiled and asked impatiently.

Chen Cai is a more troubled person, and he always likes to tell me some gossip and scandals in the army, but I really don't want to understand, but I can't refuse his smiling face, so I have to listen to him quietly every time.

"No, no, Brother Xiao, listen to me, hey, just now the battalion headquarters received a notice that the armored brigade of our group army is going to recruit people! Brother Xiao, do you know the armored brigade of our 88th Group Army"?

"I don't know, is there a difference between our regiment and an armored brigade"? I looked at Chen Cai in confusion and shook my head, aren't they all armored troops, what difference can there be, and they still have special moves?

"Of course there is a difference, the difference is big"! Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.

Chen Caixi said: "Brother Fang, you are also here, come quickly, tell me what's strange about this armored brigade."

To be honest, I was looking at the place with the same expectation.

He Fang is a military fan, he has learned about large and small wars, in addition to often reading some books of military masters, he also often goes to learn about the surrounding famous friendly neighbor units, which is the company's living "military library".

Hearing this, He Fang seemed a little proud, cleared his throat, shook his head and said: "The armored brigade of the 88th Group Army is a well-known synthetic brigade of the whole army, and it has the title of "Iron Fist of the Army"; four years ago, in the exercise codenamed "Red Arrow", it broke up two motorcycle brigades with the strength of one brigade, and its own casualties were less than half.

He Fang paused for a moment, and then said: "It is said that any person in their unit who pulls out is the king of armored troops!" Only by entering this kind of unit can you prove that you are a veritable king of armored soldiers"!

After speaking, He Fang clenched his fists with an excited look.

After I listened, I couldn't help but be fascinated, yes, it was an endless yearning, this time, instantly changed my mood, I immediately had the urge to go to this unit, I hurriedly asked: "How to sign up"?

"Company headquarters, go to sign up first, and finally the company headquarters will count it to the battalion headquarters", Chen Cai replied with a face.

"Let's go, sign up", He Fang didn't say a word, grabbed me and Chen Cai, who was still hesitating, with two hands, and walked towards the company barracks.

This was an important turning point in my military career, which directly changed the path of my military career, where I found the soul of the Chinese army, the soul of the armored forces, and the most important person in my life.

Only eleven people were selected in the whole regiment, and it was a great honor that all three of us were successfully recognized by the regiment, and on this day, we packed our bags and got into the car with the expectations of the company commander and the comrades-in-arms of the whole company.

"Boy, do a good job, don't lose the face of our group."

This is what the company commander said to us before leaving, yes, if we don't pass the selection, we have to come back, and then this face will be lost.

In any case, we can't disgrace our group! This is the common goal of the eleven people in our car.

Writing this, I suddenly remembered that I have watched several military-themed TV series over the years, and they are all this routine, almost the same as the way we are selected, but the troops are different.

We're going to assemble on a suburb of the provincial capital, and then set off for the armored brigade in unison, but I don't know what this selection will look like, is it exactly the same as in the TV series?

On the way, Chen Cai asked the question that everyone was wondering about, but He Fang was very indifferent: "If you want to do so much, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it."

I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to stop this, can you not think about it like going to hell."

Chen Cai and He Fang were silent, and no one spoke along the way, only the sound of the car's engine accompanied us.

Not long after, the car stopped in a suburb. We all got out of the car, patted our clothes, turned the car, and suddenly, I was blown away by what we saw.

Dozens of meters in front of the car, a row of tanks was neatly parked, and in front of the tanks, there were other units participating in the selection process.

We hurriedly sorted out the team, ran to the front of the team and stood still, quietly waiting for the next moment of the arrangement of the god of fate.

At the front of the line, a man dressed in jungle camouflage walked up, looked at us, and did not speak, only to open his mouth as our noise became quieter.

"Enough is enough, new comrades"?

When we heard this, we didn't dare to talk anymore, and we all looked at that person and his rank of major, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become solemn.

"Look at the way you look, all listless! Straighten my waist and stand up! ”

As his words sounded again, I straightened up and looked at him, not daring to shake in the slightest.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, I am the head of your new training, as for what my name is, you don't need to know, just call me captain, because it is useless for you to know my name. Why is it called new training, because, for us, you are recruits, a recruit who does not understand the armored forces at all! Do not be discouraged, because there will soon be facts that will prove that everything I say is true, and you cannot refute it"!

"Okay, without further ado, immediately you will work in groups of three, drive tanks, and go to the camp, you have no commanders, no radios! Each group only has a map of the destination, I hope you don't let me down, the next ten minutes, to familiarize you with the equipment on your tank"!

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, out of care of the newcomers, I only gave you ten minutes to familiarize yourself with the tank, which was unique before! Because, on the battlefield, just do what you say, and you don't have time to get familiar with the equipment! Let's go, newcomers!

Cold, ruthless, yes, these are the words, this is my first impression of this new squadron leader, from beginning to end, his facial expression has not changed in the slightest, looking at him, I have a sense of unease.

This time I'm thinking, drive a tank myself to report? Fresh, really fresh, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

I and He Fang, Chen Cai quickly ran to the tank in front of me, I sat in the driver's position, Chen Cai sat in the first gunner position, He Fang sat in the second gunner position.

As soon as he sat down, He Fang was overjoyed, there was actually a Type 88 sniper rifle in the car, which was undoubtedly a tiger for He Fang, and, most importantly, there were still shells!

Although, all of them were empty cartridges with warheads and most of the gunpowder removed.

I flipped the bullet in my hand, turned back to the two of them and said, "Concentrate, two, this time, it is not as simple as driving the tank to the barracks."

He Fang opened the map and said with a confident smile: "What are we afraid of, the direction of ten o'clock in front of the left, go"!

As the tank's tracks roll forward, we embark on a new journey.

Yes, this is how this legendary "Iron Fist" was selected, and driving the tank back by myself was another incredible experience, of course, there were too many unbelievable things in my military career, and this time was just one of the episodes.
