Chapter 178: After Today
The wind is still howling.
In Zong Pingchuan's eyes, the world was a vast white. The foot is ahead, and the front is the end.
After planting that fall, the inspiring song can't be sung, but the blood of being inspired is still boiling. When Xiao Chen will come, it is not within his care, he just wants to follow the path that was stepped on by the soldiers under his feet and keep moving forward.
Xiao Chen finally ran over with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
I kept running all the way, but this environment was too difficult, and the hour was very tight, but fortunately, Xiao Chen arrived.
"Instructor, are you alright?"
Xiao Chen and the car squad leader put Zong Pingchuan's arm on their shoulders, while the other two fighters spontaneously stood in front to shield Zong Pingchuan from the wind and snow.
Zong Pingchuan was out of breath, and he no longer had the spirit he had an hour ago when he spoke: "Don't worry, I'm fine." Let's go, let's go to the end together. ”
Xiao Chen is back, indicating that he has fulfilled his expectations.
There is nothing more satisfying than this, and if there is, it may be to reach the end, stand with the officers and soldiers of the third company, and look back at the footprints he has left behind. Compared to those old-timers who climbed snowy mountains and crossed grasslands, and struggled to advance in the encirclement and interception of the enemy.
But the three companies have completed a self-transformation.
The wind and snow are getting heavier.
The belly-sized snow flakes smashed on the face, and it felt a little painful.
Six people, one car, just walking in this noisy world. There was no laughter, no rhetoric, only silence and gasping.
Terminal.
Gan Xiaoning arrived at the end of the day, looking at the several bonfires that instantly melted the snow flakes stuck to the clothes, and a car squad soldier who hurriedly ran over with a company flag, Gan Xiaoning couldn't help but ask:
"What are the company commanders and your squad leaders running back for?"
"Report to the fourth squad leader, the company commander said that he would take the instructor back. The squad leader said he was going to follow. ”
The young man with a somewhat fiery temper very meekly put the flag on the flagpole at this time, and tied a dead knot with a rope at the bottom.
This time, the flag will definitely not fall.
Gan Xiaoning looked back, and the large army was getting closer and closer to the end. I looked at the hands and flagpoles that were close to the flames that had melted the ice and snow, and then at the warriors who were sitting on the cold boxes to roast the fire.
"Damn, forget the dead ball."
"Boy, hold it firm, this flag is now in your hands. If it's safe when I come back, I'll invite you to drink when I come back. If it falls, I'll help it up and fight you. ”
The young man was stunned, he didn't know what kind of madness Gan Xiaoning was making again.
But the next moment he understood.
"Brothers, company commander, go pick up the instructor. Let's still be able to run, come with me to pick them up. If you can't run, don't hold on, get me all the food and drink in the car, and when we come back, fuck it. ”
No one is holding on.
But someone got up.
Everyone is acting, and Gan Xiaoning gave two choices, not the choice of moral kidnapping. So everyone got up, some people moved their feet to the front of the car, and some people stepped out of their legs and came to Gan Xiaoning's side.
"Three-in-a-row, charge."
"Kill, kill, kill."
A group of roaring men walked back with a hoarse voice. No one laughed at them, and the soldiers who were constantly busy in front of the fire looked at them enviously, and they thought, but they really couldn't run.
Half an hour later, a group of people walked back with difficulty.
There was no longer a figure behind him, sucking the reheated ginger soup in front of the bonfire, and with the smell of gasoline and firewood burning, a group of people quietly looked at Xiao Chen and Zong Pingchuan who was supported by him.
"Say a few words?"
Zong Pingchuan smiled, he didn't have much strength anymore. But he hopes that Xiao Chen can say a few words to the big guy at this moment. Compared with himself, Xiao Chen's level of political work is not much worse.
"Then say a few words."
Xiao Chen drank the ginger soup in the lunch box in one go, and looked at the soldiers whose faces finally began to be rosy:
"On May 29, 1935, the officers and men of the Red Fourth Regiment ran forward on the rugged and steep mountain road under the heavy rain, and ran for 240 miles in a day and night, and arrived on the west bank of Luding Bridge on time at about 6 o'clock in the morning......
"Chinese and foreign military commentators call it an impossible miracle."
"Today, we marched 30 kilometers in a windy and snowy day, regardless of the time, but in terms of training environment and intensity, no company in the whole division has done this in five years. I'll just ask you, is it bitter? ”
"It's not bitter."
The voice of the answer was impassioned, but Xiao Chen shook his head:
"In the words of Deputy Battalion Commander Gao when he trained us, there are ghosts if we don't suffer. Bitter, bitter. I, a company commander, have been pampered since I was a child, and I only started to live a hard life as a soldier at the age of eighteen, and today is the first time I have been trained like this. ”
"It's a lie not to be bitter, but because it's bitter, that's why you have to practice. We know suffering because we are still alive and well. Once the war comes, we will have to live more than this kind of hard life. ”
"A lot of people say, gee, this hasn't been a war in years."
"I haven't fought at home, but I have fought abroad. Do you know why no one came to beat us? Because there are soldiers like us who are willing to endure hardships and train. With us here, it is a kind of deterrent, so that the enemy does not dare to take action against us easily. ”
"Sanlian, remember today's training. This is a victory, we have defeated the past, defeated ourselves, and from today on, we are a unit that is more brave to fight and attack fortifications than other companies in the division. ”
"Comrades, are you ready?"
"Always ready."
"Comrades, what are our beliefs?"
"Obey the party's command, be able to win battles, and have a good style."
Zong Pingchuan, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, looked at the rejuvenated warriors with a smile on his face.
When the wind and snow stopped raging, the sky became dark.
Several troop carriers and supply vehicles broke through the remnants of snow and slowly drove into the divisional reconnaissance camp.
In the other two companies, many officers and men sighed through the window to the poor group of officers and soldiers.
"What kind of crime did you suffer from three times, this is both wind and snow, and you were taken out to practice. Their company commander is ruthless enough, but I didn't get assigned to the third company. ”
A recruit said very happily, but was slapped the back of the head by his squad leader:
"You know the egg. Sanlian's group of grandsons will seem to be very provoked in the future. Whatever you look at one by one, you will roll over and learn from me. When the spring started training, who dared to drop the chain, see if I didn't clean him up. ”
The squad leader called back the reluctant soldiers who were in front of the window, but he himself leaned in front of the window and watched the officers and soldiers of the third company limping in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
He knew that after today, Sanlian would not be the Sanlian he knew.
- Okay, you can go to bed early.
