Chapter 36: The Initiation Ceremony
"Private Xiao Chen, out of the ranks."
Neat dress, standard military posture, changed the gentle tone of the past, Shi Jin's voice was a little serious.
Wu Liuyi, who was standing side by side with him, finally lost his seriousness, but Xiao Chen felt that this seemed to be no longer the competitive Wu Liuyi with a straightforward personality. He's like a child who sees an idol, no, maybe a little more rational than a child, but with an eagerness that is beyond that of an adult.
Xiao Chen came out of the queue.
He knew what was coming next, so Shi Jin's emotional voice infected his inner yearning with an emotion called excitement.
"Private Xiao Chen, stand upright. Starting today, you officially become a member of the Steel Seventh Company. ”
Wu Liuyi's eagerness seemed to be only for the ceremony itself, not for Xiao Chen's arrival. When he announced the result, the voice returned to Xiao Chen's familiar frequency and silver, so that the third-class dormitory could not hold the loud sound generated by the resonance with the chest cavity since the dantian, so that it rushed out of the dormitory unscrupulously, making the entire corridor its catharsis home.
The other squads that had already held the ceremony were sitting together to exchange feelings, and after the lively atmosphere was broken by this sound, there was an instant disconnection.
"What are you doing in the third shift, two times a day for the joining ceremony."
"Wu Liuyi, this kid is showing his voice again."
The mouths were ridiculed, but people ran out of the dormitory one after another, and swarmed to the door of the third class.
The initiation ceremony is not a casual affair, it is a sacred and solemn ceremony. Since Wu Liuyi dared to shout out, it must be a new recruit. It's just that all the squad leaders are wondering, aren't the recruits even divided by them in more than an hour, why are there still recruits coming over at this time.
They came to this soldier who could still be late for the next company.
"Private Xiao Chen, how many people are in the Seventh Steel Company?"
Shi Jin asked.
As if it was a very important matter to ask for opinions from his family, Shi Jin's voice was tender but firm. It's a complicated feeling that you won't give up without getting an answer.
Bai Tiejun was a little expectant, he wondered if Xiao Chen would be surprised to speak if he knew that the Seventh Steel Company had a total of 4,955 people. No, now that Xiao Chen is here, it seems that the number of people is going to increase by another one, four thousand nine hundred and fifty-six. This is really a huge number, so huge that Bai Tiejun is now actually starting to reminisce about his own joining ceremony more than an hour ago.
It's just that he didn't expect it, or let all the people who held the joining ceremony in the dormitory of the third class, and the people who crowded at the door to watch them hold the joining ceremony, were shocked by Xiao Chen's sudden answer:
"Report to the squad leader, in the 51-year history of the Seventh Company of Steel, although the number has changed several times, a total of 4,956 people have become members of the Seventh Company of Steel."
A phrase popped up in everyone's hearts: "Be good." ”
Even Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi are no exception. Gao Cheng finalized that Xiao Chen's arrival at the Seventh Company of Steel was indeed a month ago, and in the past month, when Shi Jin took Xiao Chen to train, he had also introduced the situation of the Seventh Company to him many times.
But at that time, the decision to divide the troops into the company was not yet done, and at that time, the Seventh Steel Company only had 4,938 people. Xiao Chen actually counted all the people who had been assigned to the Seventh Company before at this time, this cleverness and ingenuity are definitely not comparable to the shrewdness of Chengcai.
"Private Xiao Chen, you must remember that you are the 4,956th soldier of the Seventh Company of Steel!"
"Private Xiao Chen, you must remember that in the history of the Seventh Steel Company, there are a total of 1,104 people who sacrificed their lives for the country!"
"Private Xiao Chen, some companies are proud of a certain combat hero, some companies are proud of being a general, and the pride of the Seventh Steel Company is the most sacred of the soldiers! The Seventh Company of Steel is proud of the heroes who died on the battlefield in hundreds of battles! ”
The induction ceremony continued, and Xiao Chen devoted himself to this sacred ceremony.
The very different voices of Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi instilled in him the same belief - the belief of the Seventh Company of Gang.
The predecessors who died in the 51st history of the Seventh Company of Steel, as well as the soldiers who went out from here one after another, all uphold this belief.
Don't give up, don't give up. Even if the steel seven fought to the last man, he was supported by this belief and continued to fight until he fell. The inheritance of the torch has never been expressed by superficial words, but through these words, it is like a stick in the head, one stick at a time, to wake up the ignorant soul and let him understand the deep meaning.
Xiao Chen seemed to have understood the deep meaning, so every promise he made was the most loyal promise to the Gang Qilian and the faith.
At this moment, a famous college student, a top recruit company, was co-opted by the company commander in advance and was personally received by the regiment commander. All of these are all in the face of the six words of not giving up and not abandoning.
All he knew was that he was now the 4,956th soldier of the Seventh Company of Steel, and that he was always ready to defend the honor and hope of the Seventh Company.
With a thunderclap and a sword, a group of fierce tigers and steel seven companies;
Iron will, iron man, iron and blood to defend the country and protect the homeland.
The sound of killing scares the enemy's courage, and the reputation of a hundred battles is spread.
Attack must be conquered, defend must be strong, step on the bones of the enemy and sing triumphantly.
This song, which has long been memorized, roared out with the strongest voice accompanied by the deepest feelings, Xiao Chen's eyes were full of bloodshots.
He seemed to see a group of warriors who were not afraid of life and death, launching a strong counterattack against the enemy's artillery fire; He seemed to see a group of scarred veterans, desperately covering the three young warriors to break through; He seemed to see a broken military banner, standing between blood and fire, and he seemed to see a red flame, facing the storm, crumbling but never extinguished.
Xiao Chen straightened his chest unconsciously, he felt that those people seemed to be looking at him as well.
If they can't be a little more energetic, they may be disappointed.
Like a steel gun, Xiao Chen stood in front of everyone in the third class, and at that moment, Gao Cheng, who was standing outside the window, saw another person who could take over the banner of the Seventh Company and set it up again.
The flags on the wall at the entrance of the company department fluttered in the breeze, whether it was "Blood Pioneer" or "Armored Tiger", it seemed that the white handwriting was suddenly painted with a layer of gold, which looked particularly bright in the sun.
In the third shift of the Seventh Steel Company, the induction ceremony of a recruit was over. The belief of the Seventh Company of Steel planted another seed with this ceremony.
Gao Cheng looked back, and the two flags had only two black shadows in the dazzling sunlight.
He was satisfied.
Because the words on the flag, you don't have to see it, he has long been in his heart.
