Chapter 182: Portrait
Just after all the members of the training team I was in handed over their letters to our instructors, we sat down together again, and some of us chatted together, in fact, everyone also knew that in fact, this kind of chat was actually just a diversion of attention, and I didn't want to let my attention continue to focus on the excitement and sadness just now.
"Hey, Chen Mo, I heard that you were still an artist before you joined the army, it's not easy." A member of the same training team as me asked.
"Hahaha, no, no, I studied art in high school before, and I didn't do anything about art." I waved my hand and said to him with a smile.
", you study art, it's awesome, Chen Mo, look, we don't have any cameras or mobile phones, why don't you draw a picture of our brother?" One of the trainees sitting next to me patted me as if he had found something precious and said.
"Yes, Chen Mo, we are all from various corps, we are serious, it is really not easy to get to today, not to mention this mission, even if the mission comes back alive, there are brothers who want to leave after the mission, you can help draw a picture for us." In the lap, one of the team members also answered.
Just as I was about to speak, another trainee had already prepared the paper and pen, handed it to me, and then raised an eyebrow at me, meaning "What's the matter, what are you waiting for, let's do it quickly." ”
I glanced at the eleven trainees from various corps sitting next to me, and thought, in fact, it is right, if it were not for the selection and training of the special operations team of the headquarters, maybe we would not have met in this life, maybe someone will be eliminated later, and it is even very likely that someone will be sacrificed, it is not easy to meet, in case it is dispersed later, if there is not even something to use as a souvenir, it will be a pity.
"Alas, you guys, you say, this pen and paper are all ready for me, if I don't do something, isn't it a little out of place, not interesting enough." I sighed and smiled as I said to the trainees around me as I reached out and took the pen and paper that had been handed over.
After I took the pen and paper, the eleven trainees stared at me straight like that, and none of them spoke anymore, just like the plaster statues I had when I was studying art.
"No, brothers, what are you doing?" As soon as I saw it, I almost laughed out loud and joked at them.
"Don't do anything, wait for you to draw. No, what's that, don't be idle, hurry up and draw. When a trainee was asked by me, he was stunned at first, and then replied with a confused face.
"Hey, I'll drop my brain, brother, brothers, let's sit together, it's so difficult for me to sit in a circle like this." I slapped my head with an "oops", and then said to them with a very helpless look.
"Oh oh, yes, yes, what, brothers, come on, let's get together, get together, all tidy up, hurry up, don't sit there, stand up, tidy up, hurry, don't be stunned!" After my words, one of the trainees immediately reacted and immediately beckoned everyone to move quickly.
To be honest, I really haven't started to draw for a long time, at least since I joined the army, I basically haven't drawn a serious one, at most I have drawn a few sketches when I was bored, but, looking at these eleven brothers from various corps and from Tiannan and Haibei, I clenched the pen in my hand tightly, and secretly smiled bitterly in my heart, it turned out that I had studied art for several years, and finally used it here.
I meticulously painted the portraits of the eleven trainees in front of me, they were standing, or squatting, or sitting, eleven people were frozen in a small space, and also fixed on the paper in my hand, although the paper was not very large, but everyone's expression, everyone's demeanor, I was very carefully depicted, I couldn't even believe that when I was studying art, I had always hated it, at this moment, I was able to draw so well.
I drew without saying a word, and the eleven trainees opposite me stood and squatted and sat without saying a word, and the whole tent was quiet, and the only thing I could clearly hear was the "rustling" of the pencil in my hand back and forth on the paper.
I don't know how much time has passed, but the rustling of the pencil in my hand finally stopped, and I looked at the eleven trainees opposite me again, the legs of the squatting team members were already trembling slightly, and the beads of sweat on the forehead were clearly visible, and I smiled at them, "Brothers, okay." I said with a slight smile.
"Oh, I'll you! Chen Mo, if you haven't finished it yet, my special legs will be squatting! Come on, come on, show me! A member of the team who had just been squatting wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to me, as he spoke, he stood up as if he was struggling, and walked towards me, and when he walked, he was still a little limped.
"Yes, Chen Mo, you are a personal meat camera!" One of the team members had just walked up to me, glanced at the painting in my hand, and immediately said to me in surprise.
"! It's so similar! "When the team members looked at my paintings, they all boasted about my paintings as if they couldn't help it.
Actually, I was very surprised, as if I had never painted such a good picture, even when I was at my best, even when I was in the UEC and school exams, I never did.
"Toot toot toot." Just as everyone was boasting and admiring the group photo I had drawn for them, a rapid whistle sounded.
The twelve of us trainees immediately put down all the things in their hands and rushed out, but I clearly saw that when the trainee who was holding the painting I drew heard the whistle and was about to rush out, unlike me and other trainees, it was the kind of thing that rushed out immediately when he threw it away, and he put it down gently, as if he was holding a very cherished and precious thing in his hand.
After all the twelve of our trainees rushed to the open field, we were first taken to the cafeteria, but before we went to the cafeteria, the instructor told us not to leave after eating, to wait in our seats, and when everyone had finished eating, Instructor Xiong had something to announce to us.
Maybe it was because we listened to the instructors, or maybe all the instructors said these things to us, who were still training in the training camp of the special operations team, that time, all of us ate quickly without being supervised, and after eating, we all sat straight in our seats, and this scene surprised even our instructors and instructors, making them look at us while pulling the food on their plates.
After eating, all our trainees were taken to the playground, as always, an instructor stood in the center of the podium, surrounded by several instructors and instructors, and our remaining hundreds of trainees stood under the stage. Actually, we have all guessed, guessed what is the purpose of letting us stand here now, and it is clearer what is going to come out of Instructor Xiong's mouth at once, but the only thing we don't know is which of us will have the names of those who will come out of Instructor Xiong's mouth.
"Comrades, according to the instructions of the superiors, the list of volunteers recruited in the training camp of our special operations brigade has been collected, and the training camp of our special operations brigade now has a total of 452 trainees, and has received 432 letters of petition, including 16 suicide notes! To be honest, when I received the letter of invitation and even the suicide note sent by the instructors, I was very touched and admired everyone, when the motherland and the people need you, most of you are willing to stand up, when the safety of the people's lives and property is threatened, you can do it, here, as your instructor, I am proud and proud of you! As he spoke, Instructor Xiong gave us a standard military salute.
"Next, I announce the list of participants this time!" When Instructor Xiong finished his military salute, he directly said what we had imagined before, but when he said this, all of our trainees who handed in the battle letter almost held their breath, and then puffed up their chests even harder.
"List of participants this time: all the instructors and instructors of the training camp of the special combat brigade directly under the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, as well as all the trainees who wrote a letter of request and volunteered to participate in the war!"
What none of us could have imagined was that Instructor Xiong did not read out what the XX Provincial Corps trainees were like before, but directly said it in a very general way, which made us feel excited at the same time, but also felt a lot of pressure, because if there are really many people participating in this mission, it can only show one situation, that is, the task is very arduous and difficult, which means that the casualties and even sacrifices are even more likely.
"Comrades! Eight hours later, everyone! Carry the last cardinal ammo, fully armed, and head towards the target location! In this mission, I and several other instructors were in charge of the mission, and each training team and the two teams were combined into a combat formation, and their respective instructors served as the commander! All weapons and ammunition will be distributed to you by your instructors......"
