Chapter 214: Second Enlistment

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the inferiority complex of the "Night Vulture" that he has a low sense of existence, and besides, he is just an ordinary fighter of the grassroots squadron. Although it is said that during the competition, his shooting level suddenly pushed him to the forefront and became a legendary figure in the mouths of the soldiers of various detachments and squadrons, but after all, the competition is only once a year, and there is no large-scale competition like this later, at least after that time, until I left the unit, I have never held such a grand one.

After that competition, each detachment and squadron were immersed in their daily duties, so the person "Night Vulture" once again gradually became indifferent to everyone's mouths, until later, it became the talk of people occasionally, and then later, as their respective duties became busier and busier, his matter gradually withdrew from people's mouths, that is, those veterans who had participated in the competition sometimes talked about it when they got together.

Later, as time went on, the "Night Vulture" was also about to be discharged. The benefits that the army brought to his family were really too much, so much so that his love for this military uniform had already surpassed that of an ordinary soldier, so much so that he wanted to wear this camouflage for the rest of his life, so that he never thought of leaving the army, leaving the Jing camp where he had lived for hundreds of days and nights. However, nothing can beat time, and when it comes to the veteran's retirement season, the "Night Vulture" is also faced with the choice of staying in the army or retiring from the army.

If it could really be as he thought, then he would definitely choose to stay in the army, continue to wear this camouflage, and continue to be on duty on this land, however, the world is impermanent, just when he had just finished writing the application to stay in the team, and before he could hand it in, he received a letter from his hometown.

Due to a series of reasons such as overexploitation in recent years, the mountainous area where the "Night Vulture" is home has formed a mudslide during the recent heavy rains.

Heavy rain and flood saturation and dilution of soft soil containing sand and gravel to form a torrent, which has a large area, volume and flow, while landslide is a small area of diluted soil mountain, and the typical debris flow is composed of thick mud suspended with coarse solid debris and rich in silt and clay. Under appropriate topographic conditions, a large amount of water is soaked into the solid accumulation material in the slope or ditch bed, which reduces its stability, and the solid accumulation material full of water moves under the action of its own gravity, forming a debris flow. This is a catastrophic geological phenomenon. The eruption was sudden, ferocious, and carried huge stones. Because of its high speed and powerful energy, it is extremely destructive.

The entire village where the "Night Vulture" family was located simply ceased to exist in this disastrous geological phenomenon. Although the local organization mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to rescue the rescue, there were no casualties, but the home was gone.

After receiving the letter, the "Night Vulture" tossed and turned all night without sleep. That night, the "night vulture", who had never smoked, asked the sentry who had just gotten off the post and had not had time to go to bed for a few cigarettes and a lighter.

He didn't know how to smoke, he choked on the cigarette and coughed again and again, but he still smoked one after another, and I don't know how long it took, I saw him take out the neatly folded application for staying in the queue from his pocket, and then lit it with a lighter.

On the way back from the checkout, the platoon commander of the checkout saw a fire flickering in the squadron's vegetable patch, so he immediately ran over and saw that it was the "night vulture" who was smoking and burning something.

The platoon commander was very angry at first when he saw this scene, after all, although the troops did not explicitly prohibit smoking, or that smoking was directly a tacit thing, but instead of going to sleep at such a late hour, he came here to smoke and burn things, and if he could not find anyone in the shop when he checked the shop, it was possible that something would happen.

However, just when the platoon commander was about to reprimand the "Night Vulture", he held back, because in this squadron, everyone knew the "Night Vulture", knew that he was a person who usually couldn't jump out of a fart, and he was usually very honest, not to mention violating discipline, even if someone deliberately tricked him, he would not do anything out of the ordinary. However, there must be a reason why he smokes and burns things alone in the vegetable patch in the middle of the night.

"I don't see it, you still smoke." The platoon commander walked up to the "Night Vulture" and said to the "Night Vulture" with a hint of a smile.

However, perhaps the "Night Vulture" had already fallen into a kind of contemplation, and did not notice the arrival of the platoon commander at all, and when he heard the words of the platoon commander, he was so frightened that the "Night Vulture" shook his hand, and the cigarette in his hand fell directly to the ground. "Platoon, platoon commander." As soon as the "Night Vulture" saw it, he stood up from the ground and saluted the platoon commander.

The platoon commander saluted the "Night Vulture" in return and pulled the "Night Vulture" to continue to sit down. "Let's talk about it, what is going on."

After the "Night Vulture" told the platoon commander exactly what had happened, the platoon commander also took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the "Night Vulture", and the two of them sat on the squadron's vegetable patch and chatted. No one knew how long they had been talking, and even the two of them had forgotten how long they had been talking.

The next day, the platoon commander gave the instructor a report on the incident. Because the "Night Vulture" is such an excellent comprehensive quality, first-class marksmanship fighter is a "baby" in any squadron, so the squadron instructor did not want to let him out of the army, so he called the "Night Vulture" to the squadron headquarters to talk, this time the "Night Vulture" fell into a dilemma, he wanted to stay in the army, but in his heart, he really wanted to return to his hometown, with his family and parents.

After coming out of the squadron headquarters, the "Night Vulture" returned to the dormitory, and after another night, he finally made up his mind and decided to return to his hometown. Since the "Night Vulture" is not highly educated, it is indeed difficult for him to stay in the team as a non-commissioned officer, and the squadron instructor also let out a long sigh and agree with his decision.

In this way, with reluctance, regret, incomparable attachment to this land, with bits and pieces of the past, with tears, "Night Vulture" left the army, retired from the army, and became an ordinary citizen. After returning to his hometown, with the help of local organizations, his home is being rebuilt and all the mountain people are well settled. He also joined in the construction of his homeland, but the attachment to the army in his heart never faded. Of course, he also knew that his academic qualifications had always been a major obstacle to his rapid progress.

So, after returning to the local area, he used the discharge money to help the mountain people rebuild their homes while studying on his own. Maybe that's really the case, God has closed a door for you, and he will open a window for you. Just when he was busy overcoming difficulties for his academic qualifications, several teachers came to his hometown to teach, which also happened to give the "Night Vulture" a chance and let the "Night Vulture" have a better learning opportunity.

Maybe it's because the "Night Vulture" has this experience in the army, no matter what he does, he has a kind of perseverance and faith, and it took him more than a year to apply for the adult self-examination.

Hard work is never in vain, under the witness of the whole village, he was admitted to a junior college, although it is said to be an adult self-examination, but it can be regarded as having an academic degree. However, in the heart of the "Night Vulture", his attachment and yearning for the army and the camouflage has not disappeared, and it is even said that it has increased unabated!

The treatment of active duty soldiers by the state is getting better and better, the treatment of veterans is getting better and better, and the benefits of military families are also increasing.

His family knew that his heart was still in the army, and the people in the village also saw the growth and change of the "night vulture", and they also decided to let their children join the army. In a later conversation with the "Night Vulture", I learned that from his time, more than half of the young people in their village who met the requirements for serving as soldiers had joined the army. Of course, that's another story.

And just like that, it's conscription season again. Under the joy of the parents and villagers of the whole village, the "night vulture" went to the county seat with many young people in the village to participate in the physical examination, and then changed into military uniforms together, and defended the country from all over the world.

Putting on the uniform again, "Night Vulture" became a recruit again, but this time, he did not return to SX Province, and once again became an unknown warrior in a certain city, but fortunately, he was still an armed police soldier.

In this way, accompanied by several young people in the village, the "Night Vulture" successfully enlisted in the army for the second time, and with the experience of enlisting once, it was still the same army, and he was already familiar with the training and discipline in the army. In the recruit company, the superior commander knew that he was a second enlistment, and he also attached great importance to him, and he was no longer the mountain man who only had a primary school education. It's just that the regret of leaving Jing Camp at the beginning, in the dead of night occasionally, he will still unconsciously light a cigarette, and then let out a long sigh.

Probably, at that time, even if he let him dream, he probably never thought that he would return to the land he had once dedicated, and fight on that land again.
