Chapter 322: Hidden in the Sea of People
As the days passed, the five of us gradually came out of that sad mood, and our injuries were recovered, but among the five of us, some of us were no longer fit to continue to serve in the army, at least no longer suitable to serve in the special operations brigade and in the LTTE.
According to the doctor's examination, the bullet hit the bone of Dunxiang's arm, and although it was taken out, it had already injured the bone, and in the doctor's words, although the bone had grown again, it was easy to fracture again under the condition of external force. Not to mention as a special combat member, even if it is an ordinary soldier, when is it not a day when he walks down in a crawling and rolling fight, is it possible that he still trains in a plaster every day?
As for me, the explosion of "40 Fire" smashed countless fragments into my calves, and even my head was damaged by some fragments. I had six stitches at the bottom of my right eye, three stitches in my right eyebrow, and six stitches on the top of my head, but this was not the key, the key thing was that my right cheek bone had been cracked, my lower leg was comminuted, and after the cast was removed, the left and right legs were not the same length, although it was not easy to see with the naked eye, but I could feel it myself.
It's Lao Mao, don't look at him who was shot in the back, he vomited blood at the time, but he didn't leave any sequelae, okay, after recovery, it's really as if nothing happened, don't take off his clothes, see bullet holes, and really can't find that he has been shot.
I sat on the playground with Dunxiang, lit a cigarette and took a big puff, the smell of tobacco suddenly broke into our lungs, maybe we smoked too hard, or maybe we bought fake cigarettes this time, which choked me and coughed, Dunxiang laughed on the side, and said to me: "You can't do it, you smoke like this, it seems that it is really not suitable to continue to stay in the army." ”
"Hahahaha, yes, when I was a soldier now, it's like a dream, go to the special, think about it, what it was like when we first joined the army, what it looks like now, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about these special combat teams that have joined before and after, the assessments they have experienced, and they are struggling, this special thing is that people can live, but we still have to carry it down." I smiled and took another puff of my cigarette, then pressed the butt to the ground and cursed with a smile.
"Why, you still want to keep doing it." Dunxiang handed me another cigarette and asked me with a smile.
"! However, I know that my current situation in the Tiger is a special burden, as far as the leg of labor and management and this special face are concerned, before the special task, labor and management first went to the hospital. What a! I lit a cigarette, didn't look at Dunxiang, took a puff and scolded.
"Hahahaha, it's good that you didn't hurt your third leg, but I'm afraid that the arm of labor and management won't be able to do things." Dunxiang listened to my words and said with a smile.
"you! Believe it or not, labor and management are now discounting your third leg! I scolded Dunxiang angrily, and then stretched out my hand to hit him.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, seriously, I'm already planning to apply for retirement." Dunxiang hurriedly waved his hand to signal me to stop and said.
"Whew-" I let out a long sigh of relief, then the corners of my mouth rose slightly, "Me too." ”
"Are you willing?" "Are you willing?" Unexpectedly, Dunxiang and I opened their mouths to ask each other at the same time.
"Hahahaha! Sure enough, it's a good brother, and he thinks the same. Dunxiang and I laughed at the same time, and then got up to leave, leaving only two cigarette butts still emitting a faint glow.
I didn't tell anyone, Dunxiang and I quietly wrote down the retirement application, during this period, we behaved as usual, this is also one of our usual training contents, quietly, after all, as a special combat player, how can you do without a strong psychological quality.
I and Dunxiang's retirement application was placed on the captain's desk, the captain looked at the two of us, his eyes revealed a kind of extreme regret and helplessness, I saw him sigh long, and then picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and said to himself: "This tea is cold." Then he shouted at us without looking at us: "Siberian tiger! Bengal Tigers! ”
"Here!" "Here!" As if struck by lightning, the two of us stood up and replied loudly.
"Go! Brew me a new drink! The captain picked up a folder, flipped through it casually, and commanded us.
Dunxiang and I were very surprised to pick up the captain's teacup, and then walked to the side, re-brewed tea for the captain, and when it was ready to be served to the captain, we saw that the captain had already put on a big-brimmed hat and stood straight behind us.
"Captain, you ......" Tunxiang and I didn't know what to say or do for a while.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." The captain said to us with a serious face.
"Captain, tea ......"
The captain took us to the honor room of the brigade, looking at the photos, pennants and some history on the walls and in the display case, as well as the sacrificed comrades, the captain said to us: "You have decided to leave, right, tell these sacrificed comrades in front of you, tell them!" ”
Dunxiang and I were speechless, and we didn't know what to say for a while.
"Come, tell them, tell them you're leaving, you're going to leave this hellish place, and go back to live comfortably." Seeing that we didn't speak, the captain continued to point to the photos of the martyrs hanging on the wall and shouted loudly.
"Report! I apply for retirement! I lowered my head, and to be honest, tears were already beginning to roll in my eyes, and after taking a deep breath, I immediately raised my head and shouted loudly.
"Good! What about you! The captain first said a word to me, then turned to Dunxiang and asked.
"Report! I apply for retirement! "Dunxiang is also like me, reporting loudly.
"Good! Good! All right! After the captain spoke three times in a row, he said to us, "Give me a reason!" ”
"Report! The Siberian Tiger and I are no longer fit to stay in the Tiger. Dunxiang gritted his teeth and finally said it.
After hearing this, the captain smashed into the wall in a circle, and then left without looking back.
Later, after we left the special operations brigade, we learned that in fact, the main cadres in the brigade had known about our physical condition for a long time, and it was true that we were no longer suitable to continue to stay in the special operations brigade and stay in the tiger commando team as combatants, but the cadres of the brigade meant that we should stay as instructors to select and train new members of the brigade, and even thought about transferring us to real logistics, but we did not expect that we would take the initiative to apply for retirement.
Later, under our strong application, the party committee of the brigade agreed to our application for retirement and submitted our application, which was quickly approved by "permission".
And just like that, we left the Tigers. However, we chose to leave quietly, leaving the base of the special operations brigade and stepping on the train under the pretext of hospitalization examination. Wait until our train departs, and then send our bags from the special operations team.
After leaving the army, I chose to continue my studies and went to Hubei Province to become a contemporary college student, maybe as I said, in this era when college students are no longer valuable, one moved bricks and smashed down, seven or eight out of ten people were college students, and one was a graduate student, undoubtedly, when I chose to leave the army, I had already begun to disappear into the sea of people.
Dunxiang returned to his hometown and found a job, although the salary and treatment were not as good as in the army, but he did not complain, that is, occasionally when I came back, he sat down with me, served two glasses of wine, and bragged.
Lao Mao and Lao Feng, as well as Lao Pang continued to stay in the Tigers, but, due to Brother Peng's sacrifice, I and Dunxiang left, our Tiger Commando Group C has long been crippled, and no longer has the ability to fight independently, so it was temporarily disbanded, however, the temporary dissolution does not mean that the number of this special operations team has been canceled, half a month later, Lao Feng, Lao Mao and Lao Pang became the instructors and instructors of the special operations team, and the first task is to start reorganizing the Tiger Commando Group C.
Iron battalions, flowing soldiers. This sentence, which has always been on people's lips, has been best reflected in us. We have disappeared into the sea of people, and have become a nameless person among hundreds of millions of people, if you have to put a name on us, I can only say that we used to be called "Chinese Armed Police"!
The old soldier does not die, but will gradually die, and the honor will not die, only the old and the new will alternate. We are gone, but the glory of the Tiger continues. There is no "Flying Tiger" called Brother Peng, no "Siberian Tiger" called Chen Mo, and no "Heavenly Tiger" called Dunxiang in the Tiger Commando, but new "Flying Tigers", new "Siberian Tigers", and new "Heavenly Tigers" will continue to appear, and there is no end......
Writing here, my story is also finished, it has been three years now, in the three years since I left the army, I don't know whether I have lived a good or bad life in the past three years, and I haven't mixed up with any fame, I only know, I began to miss them, and I missed them more and more, so I decided, set off, to find them, to see the "Jungle Tiger", the old squad leader who took me from the recruit company, to find the "South China Tiger", the perverted old Feng who once scolded me with blood.
