Five minutes later, we were led by the major to the playground, where hundreds of special operators in tabby suits stood neatly, but the open space closest to the rostrum was not a single one, and seventeen of us were assigned to stand there.

"Comrades! In accordance with the instructions of the head of the corps, in order to build a modern special operations force with a higher combat level and to absorb fresh blood, the grass-roots squadrons under the jurisdiction of our corps have sent fighters with excellent military qualities to participate in the selection and training of our special operations brigade, and have passed the assessment for half a month, and a total of 17 comrades have passed the selection of our special operations brigade among the 122 comrades who participated in the training. The colonel stood on the rostrum and said impassionedly, and there was thunderous applause from the audience.

"I declare below! The induction ceremony of new members of the special operations brigade directly under the SX Provincial Headquarters of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force begins now! Raise the national flag! Play the national anthem! The colonel's deep voice reverberated in the playground and in the hearts of the more than a hundred of our soldiers present.

We watched as several soldiers carrying the national flag slowly walked from a distance, and the national anthem was played. "Salute!" With an order, everyone present uniformly saluted the slowly rising national flag, and we sang the national anthem, perhaps a little out of tune, but the rough voice continued to linger under this blue sky.

After the national anthem, the colonel, that is, our captain, personally put on the lightning armbands of the armed police special operations for 17 of us, pasted the national flag and green title on our arms, and each new member saluted the captain with a standard military salute, and the captain also took the trouble to give us a standard salute in return.

"Now, please join me in solemnly swearing to the national flag." The captain walked to the front of our team, raised his right hand in front of the national flag, and clenched it into a fist. We immediately did the same thing as the captain.

"I am a special combat member of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, and I swear: As an honorable special combat member, I will be strict with myself. Strictly abide by discipline, obey orders, be brave and tenacious, be independent, dare to fight, never bow down, do not compromise, do not give up, do not retreat, and take it as their responsibility to protect their families and defend the country. We are natural killers, we are special sharp knives, we are hot-blooded warriors, we are the unyielding Great Wall, stick to our faith, never betray, and will completely destroy all enemies who dare to attack! "The captain took the lead in taking the oath in front of us, and we followed him in a solemn oath.

......

We have gone through half a month of tempering, and in half a month we have almost endured most of the hardships that we can endure in the army, and in this half month, we have even forgotten the time, forgotten who we are, and only know how to move forward, forward, and forward. But at this moment, we put on the long-dreamed tabby special operations camouflage, put on the lightning armband special for the special combat team of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, and put on the green title, at this moment, we feel that all the suffering is worth it, because from this moment on, we will take on the special combat mission of the entire SX Province, and even the combat mission of any part of the 9.6 million square kilometers of land under our feet, which is what I dream of as a soldier and a soldier.

After the joining ceremony, the seventeen of us were divided into two parts because of our own will, actual military quality, education level and other considerations, one is a standard 12-person independent combat detachment, but there is no number. The remaining five were assigned to some other units of the special operations group. And I, on the other hand, became a member of the independent combat detachment.

Under the leadership of a fourth-level sergeant, the twelve of us were brought to the dormitory arranged for us, the dormitory is actually similar to the style and pattern of the dormitory of our grassroots squadron, the only difference may be that in addition to guns and ammunition, some equipment has a place, and the space is relatively large. After a brief housekeeping, we were taken to the honor room of the special operations brigade and saw many heroic deeds of the officers and men of the special operations brigade as well as the entire course of the special operations brigade. However, each of us came out of the honor room with not only great excitement but also a little sentimentality and awe, because maybe one day, our photos will also be placed in the honor room for later team members to visit, but I always believe that even if one day our photos become part of the honor room, we will not regret our choice, because I am a special combat member of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force.

In fact, however, many years later, I returned to this honor room again, and there was a separate display board with my name written on it, and the special commando team I was later in called the "Tigers", and next to it, there was a picture of my dear comrade-in-arms, who stood there quietly, watching each new member arrive, staring at them, watching them become the most elite armed force of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force. Of course, this is all for later, but when I recall this, I can't help but sigh for a long time......

In the evening, we had a sumptuous dinner, one by one we couldn't hold on, and in the evening we returned to our dormitory to prepare for rest, but none of the twelve of us could sleep, it was excitement, excitement, but also regret and regret.

"Squad leader, did you sleep?" I whispered to Lao Mao on the bed next to me.

"No, why didn't you sleep?" Lao Mao turned over and said to me.

"And me." Dunxiang also replied like a dead fish.

"Squad leader, why did you say that Zhaowei couldn't go to the armored squadron with us." Indeed, I am very happy to enter the special operations brigade and join the independent combat detachment with Lao Mao and Dunxiang, but Lao Pang went to the armored squadron, which makes us one less of the few people who have been fighting together since the recruit company, to be honest, I still regret it in my heart.

"Alas, do you think Lao Pang will still be able to smoke with us in the future?" Dunxiang's brain circuits are sometimes really different from others, but although his words seem a bit nonsensical, they do poke at my sadness.

"Okay, okay, what are you doing in the middle of the night when you say this makes people listen to sad words." Lao Mao also felt uncomfortable when he heard this, so he simply didn't let us continue.

Several of us let out a long sigh, "Don't worry, it's a good thing that Zhaowei went to the armored squadron, in case we are surrounded on a mission, and we still expect him to drive an armored car to meet us!" Lao Mao looked at me and Dunxiang preoccupied, and comforted us.

"Come on, with his skills, don't look back and didn't rescue us, and put yourself in." Dunxiang said casually.

"You're enough, if you let Lao Pang hear it, believe it or not, I'll press you to the ground and call Dad every minute!" Seeing that Dunxiang also made a joke, I didn't want to continue to regret it so much, so I simply picked up his words.

In fact, not only a few of us who came out of the recruit company together, but also the other team members couldn't sleep and chatted over and over, and at the same time regretted that their comrades-in-arms around them could not join the special combat team or be transferred to other units because of something or something. That night, we didn't have any duties, no training, and no emergencies, but we never slept as comfortably and peacefully as we thought before.

We have become one of the most elite armed forces of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, at least among the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in SX Province, we are the most elite armed forces, but we are twelve people, like an unopened sharp blade, only in the continuous grinding, we can become sharper, become a national sharp blade, inserted into the chest of every enemy who dares to attack, but many people will say that now is an era of general peace, where there are so many enemies who come to attack, we are the Chinese armed police, is to raise soldiers for a thousand days, Employing troops for thousands of days, fighting terrorism in cities, maintaining stability and dealing with emergencies, hunting, destroying, chasing and fleeing, hostage-taking, and so on and so on, are all within the scope of our tasks, not to mention that we are no longer an ordinary soldier of a grassroots squadron, but a special combat member of a special combat brigade.

"I am a special combat member of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, and I swear: As an honorable special combat member, I will be strict with myself. Strictly abide by discipline, obey orders, be brave and tenacious, be independent, dare to fight, never bow down, do not compromise, do not give up, do not retreat, and take it as their responsibility to protect their families and defend the country. We are natural killers, we are special sharp knives, we are hot-blooded warriors, we are the unyielding Great Wall, stick to our faith, never betray, and will completely destroy all enemies who dare to attack! ”

That night, the oath was repeated hundreds of times in my mind, and to this day, I can still remember every word of the oath clearly, perhaps this is what people often say, one day is special warfare, and life is special warfare.

My special operations career began in earnest from this moment.
