Chapter 12 Spiritual Inheritance

In the hall, the recruits sat down, and in front of them were regiment commander Wang Qingrui, Gao Cheng, He Hongtao, and cadres in the regiment.

"Today, I will give you an ideological and political lesson, I hope you can go further in the future, and I hope you will never forget the green uniform on your body." Wang Qingrui said very seriously to the recruits below.

"Papapa~~~" The recruits responded with warm applause.

"Looking at your young and immature faces, you have also begun to have the quality of a soldier, the years of being a soldier, the training is very tiring, the days are very hard, and we have made hard efforts every step forward. Bitter or not? Think about the Long March 25,000, are you tired? Think about the revolutionary old-timers, this is a cliché, but I still want to talk to you today about the Long March. ”

"Today, as we commemorate the Long March and relive the spirit of the Long March, you may ask: What exactly is the spirit of the Long March? How should we inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Long March? Some people say that the spirit of the Long March is perseverance. There is nothing wrong with this view, but it is too simplistic, and the spirit of the Long March is far from simply insisting. Let's think about it, from October 10, 1934, when the Red Army left Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, to start its strategic transfer, to October 1936, when the Red Army's three major front armies successfully joined forces in the Shaanxi-Gansu region, the Kuomintang troops intercepted it in front and pursued it by the Kuomintang troops in the rear, along the way there were enemy planes bombing in the sky, the enemy on the ground encircled and intercepted, coupled with the treacherous natural conditions such as snow-capped mountains and grasslands, which lasted a total of two years and a long-distance march of 25,000 miles. Wang Qingrui's slightly profound speech came into the minds of every officer and soldier.

However, it is true that the Long March relied on the revolutionary spirit of perseverance and perseverance to the end to achieve the final victory, and it can be said that the Long March is the most perfect embodiment of the noble spirit of the Chinese revolutionaries. Because it is supported by the power of the revolutionary spirit, the spirit of the Long March is a kind of revolutionary fearless spirit, a spirit of not afraid of sacrifice, overcoming difficulties, and fighting tenaciously for the sake of realistic lofty ideals. Wang Qingrui's voice gradually became excited, and the recruits excitedly controlled their breathing, for fear of disturbing the half-headed regiment commander.

"During the Long March, a female soldier was only 13 years old. Climbing the snowy mountain is to give each person a chili, and those who are afraid of the cold will chew it. This female warrior was afraid of spicy and did not bring chili peppers. As soon as I climbed halfway up the mountain, I shivered with cold. The team members kept shouting: Comrades, don't sit down, you won't be able to get up if you sit down. When he arrived at the mountainside, Xiao Dong was really cold and tired, but he still persevered, and finally successfully climbed over one snow-capped mountain after another. Why would a 13-year-old girl insist on doing this? ”

"There was an ordinary Red Army, when he crossed the meadow, he was given four catties of dry rations. During the march, the soldiers saw the three hungry mother and son, and he hid from his teammates and gave them his own dry food bag, while he himself ate some wild vegetables and cold water every day to satisfy his hunger, and finally, due to physical exhaustion, he left. It wasn't until the mother and son came to return the bag of dry food with the soldier's name on it that the comrades of the unit understood what had happened. He clearly knows that in the vast grassland, even a small bag of grain is a life-saving "baby", which means a person's life! However, it was under such circumstances that he resolutely gave his food to the mother. What made him give up hope of survival? ”

"A quartermaster froze to death in the snow and ice, you know? At that time he sat leaning against the bare trunk of a tree, motionless, like a statue, covered with snow, and it was impossible to recognize his face, but it could be seen that his demeanor was very calm and serene: between the middle and index fingers of his right hand was still half a roll of dry smoke, and the fire had long been extinguished by the snow; His left hand stretched forward slightly, as if to point out the way forward for his comrades, and his thin and shabby clothes were clinging to his body. As a quartermaster, he did not prepare cotton clothes for himself, but distributed them to others, and he ended up becoming a sculpture in the ice and snow. And why does he have such a spirit? ”

"And one more warrior。。。。。。"

With Wang Qingrui's narration, the recruits present seemed to see everything about the Long March, and the stories sank into the depths of their minds, began to take root, and the spirit began to be imprinted in their souls and never be erased.

"The people and things here, this spirit of the Long March, as a new generation of revolutionary soldiers, we must pass it on from generation to generation. Especially today, when we are building a harmonious society, we must inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Long March, and we must not lose it. We must use the Red Army's fearless spirit of sacrifice and victory in the Long March to boost our fighting spirit, use the spirit of the Long March to overcome all difficulties on the way forward, and use the spirit of the Long March to strive for greater victories in the peace and security of the country and the people! ”

"It is precisely because of the inheritance of the spirit of the Long March and the bloody struggle of the revolutionary martyrs that we are living a peaceful and stable life today. However, as soldiers, we must always inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Long March, so that the spirit of the Long March and the revolutionary tradition will be passed on from generation to generation, and we must not lose a moment. Today, we must set strict demands on ourselves in the spirit of the Red Army's Long March, and in our training in peacetime, when we encounter difficulties and setbacks, and when we encounter hardships and tiredness, we should think about the Red Army soldiers on the Long March. Think about the Long March 25,000, are you tired? Think of the revolutionary old-timers. ”

"We shout every day at all times, what are we ready for? We are always preparing for war, and war may not be fought for a thousand days, but war preparations cannot be left undone for a day. Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Consolidating national defense, resisting aggression, defending the motherland, and safeguarding the safety of people's lives and property are the sacred missions of our army and the concentrated embodiment of the value of military personnel. ”

"When the motherland is named, it is we who charge ahead, take the lead bravely, and never give up! Where there are difficulties, there is the People's Liberation Army. Where there is danger, there are soldiers' iron bones and shining military emblems; Where there is a call, there is our angry answer and the feat of recklessness. ”

"Please remember that what this green uniform gives you is more responsibility, sacrifice, and dedication. Use me in the first battle, and I will win. We, always ready~" Wang Qingrui's last sentence got up directly, and shouted the last five words with all his strength.

"Always ready~ Always ready~ Always ready~" All the officers and soldiers got up, and the roar of the mountains and tsunamis resounded throughout the barracks.

At this moment, the blood of the recruits has begun to ferment, and there are only six words in their minds, responsibility, sacrifice, dedication, all the words are pale and powerless in front of these six words, which is the glory of the soldiers.

Looking at the rising recruits in front of him, Wang Qingrui nodded, he believed that this group of recruits, after coming out of here, in the coming days, the backbone and blood of the soldiers will accompany them for a lifetime, maybe they will be confused, they may be afraid, they may be avoided, but in the end, they will still break the confusion and fear at a certain moment, no longer escape, and stand on the front line of the motherland.

Gao Cheng, He Hongtao, Shi Jin and other veterans looked at the recruits in front of them, and they were even more pleased, in the army, you can be inferior to others, but you can't lose the quality of a soldier, as long as the spirit is still there, the rainbow ahead will be closer and closer.

After the meeting, almost all the recruits were still immersed in Wang Qingrui's speech, their expressions were full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield now, until they went to bed at night, there were not a few recruits who communicated too much, and today's speech made them deeply realize the word "soldier", and they always thought that after arriving in the army, the living conditions at home would be better, they would get ahead, and they could enjoy a better life, but now, responsibility, sacrifice, dedication, these six words will bury everything. After understanding the meaning of being a soldier, I realized how naïve my previous thoughts were.

Ding Yan is better, it is normal, as a "veteran", the ideology has long been established, in the previous life, he had the fetters of family affection, many times, he can't blindly follow his own mind, now, he is alone, he has no worries, isn't this just the opportunity to give himself the opportunity to move forward? In addition, if you are now making a third-class merit and working hard, as long as you obtain two third-class merits, or directly obtain a second-class merit, then your future path will be able to take root in the army.

After all, if you sign a non-commissioned officer, there are too many uncertain factors, especially the promotion of the sergeant major in the later stage, the quota of the entire military region can be counted on one hand, and it is all the right time and place and the indispensable person to succeed.

In unconscious thinking, Ding Yan fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

At this time, Tokai City Station.

"I'm going to study at the National Defense University, help me see the talents, and tell me that I'll find a way to poach him." At Donghai City Station, Fan Tianlei is sending Gong Jian.

"Is it good to poach people from the National Defense University?" The corners of Gong Jian's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, because outside, the conversation between the two was more casual.

"Ahem, it's all for the development of the army! Remember, physical fitness can be a little worse, but the military style must be excellent, and physical fitness can wait for me to dig people over and train them, and the thinking is definitely very strong in the National Defense University, but what kind of thinking can meet my requirements, I think you should understand. Fan Tianlei showed a familiar fox smile.

"Alright! I'll help you see, okay, it's time, I'm leaving! Gong Jian nodded in agreement, looked at the time, and the two separated.
