Chapter 54: The Impossible Forty-Five Kilometers
Under the solemnity of all the students, student representatives and students of various faculties laid wreaths at the Martyrs' Monument.
Subsequently, the docent of the Martyrs' Monument began to explain the origin of the Martyrs' Monument and tell the stories of the martyrs who are buried here carried by this monument.
And Han Li and others also felt the demeanor of the heroes of the year and the cruelty of the battles from these stories. It was they who exchanged their sacrifices for peace, and it was they who exchanged their dedication for our peaceful years.
All stand upright!
Now read the vows with me.
As a glorious college student, in the face of the heroic martyrs of the sages, I solemnly swear: resolutely support the party's leadership, abide by discipline and law, unite and fraternize, study diligently, work actively, endure hardships first, enjoy last, and work hard for the cause of communism.
Oath Taker###
Just a few oaths, but it made everyone's blood boil.
Whether they take an oath, it is also a promise, or a belief.
For Han Li, after this baptism, his old heart was reactivated. Like these thousands of people, Han Li's heart couldn't be calm for a long time.
After the whole process was completed, Han Li and the others were taken to a square not far from the Martyrs' Monument to rest. According to the arrangement, they can rest for about half an hour in the entire square. Eat something, drink some water, and start your journey back.
Because the intensity is relatively large, the consumption of materials is also relatively large, and there are not many spare materials left for Han Li and them at the moment. Fortunately, there were some small stalls around this square, so there were a lot of students in an instant.
After getting permission, Han Li also squeezed in with a few male classmates, ready to buy some water and food for the return trip. I didn't expect that when I asked about the price, it was outrageously high, basically one-third higher than the usual price. In this way, in less than twenty minutes, these stalls in the square were all sold out.
Although Han Li and the others were very helpless, they still gritted their teeth and bought some. This is basically a one-shot deal, so the merchants also sell with the attitude of being able to pit a little bit. As for the students, they all think that it will be more expensive anyway. So, it's what it is now.
Han Li wondered if these stalls were just waiting for them to come, or if they were specially prepared for them students.
Although everyone didn't want to move, the whistle sounded for the return trip. The group began to follow the group towards the school, this time at a slower pace.
Although they have undergone recuperation and energy replenishment, everyone's physical strength is still seriously consumed, so the pace is naturally heavy.
In addition, everyone has never walked such a long distance, and everyone is a little uncomfortable with walking so long this time.
What's even worse is that because they haven't had it before, everyone's feet are more or less blistered, so this restricts everyone's movement.
Finally, and the most difficult one we are facing right now, is low morale. The serious overdraft of physical strength makes everyone more or less psychologically permeated with a negative emotion. And the most obvious representative is that some people start to get irritable, some people just give up, and some people just cry.
And for this aspect, the school and the instructor also have experience, and the most common and effective is singing! Singing can make everyone forget their fatigue for a short time, and it can also make everyone excited.
But if you keep singing, the effect will naturally become much weaker. At this time, coupled with appropriate induction, it can greatly motivate everyone to persevere and not give up.
And the most common incentive is to lie, or to quench your thirst. The distance that was originally 15 kilometers away is said to be only 5 kilometers, and 5 kilometers is said to be 500 meters.
It's here, it's coming, it's coming soon!
It's those people who are lying to them, and it's themselves who are lying to themselves.
When everyone saw the school gate again, everyone cried, and the cry was like how much they had been wronged.
At this moment, everyone was crying, but there was joy and excitement in this cry.
Forty-five kilometers, a number they never thought of, and they actually walked all the way. It's a miracle for them.
They did, they really beat themselves!
At this moment, Han Li was also very excited. And he did, and not only did he go all the way, but he also completed his mission. There were a total of 45 students in the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company, and none of them were left behind, and they all walked down the whole way. Although many students had broken or sprained their feet, there were no major accidents, and everyone came back safely.
That sense of accomplishment, the joy of success that power brought him for the first time.
"All assembled!"
With a whistle, everyone dragged their tired bodies together.
Song Weiping appeared in front of everyone, but he didn't have a straight face like together, but smiled at everyone and said: "First of all, I want to congratulate you here, congratulations on completing a seemingly impossible task." Secondly, this time, our company is the only two companies in the school that do not have any students left behind. It's not easy for everyone to persevere. I think we should give ourselves a little applause in that regard. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
Everyone applauded excitedly, obviously excited about this one-of-a-kind achievement, and a little bit of pride.
"Here, I think that while everyone is praising themselves, they should also thank your squad leader Han Li. It was his careful care and responsibility along the way that allowed us to come back one by one. Everyone thinks we should give him a round of applause. ”
"Yes!" In unison, everyone applauded.
This made Han Li a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. And at this point, Han Li heard Song Weiping's words.
"Squad leader, shouldn't you say a few words?"
"Ah......" Han Li was a little stunned, not knowing what to say.
"What are you doing in a daze, come forward and say a few words to everyone, everyone chirp!" Song Weiping smiled at him and beckoned.
In the applause, Han Li walked over. In front of everyone, Han Li didn't know what to say. But it's all at this juncture, so let's talk about it.
"Thank you, thank you for the trust you have placed in me. It is precisely because of your trust and cooperation that I can work with you to accomplish this seemingly impossible task. So I don't think it's just me, it's everyone's work. ”
"In addition, I also thank our instructor, don't look at him as strict with us. However, everyone should also see his concern for us. It is precisely because of his concern that we can be so well prepared before the training.
You may not have noticed that throughout the training, the instructor followed us and helped us even many students to get things. Comparing hearts to hearts, we are tired and half dead empty-handed, and the instructor has also walked all the way, and he has been running back and forth in the team, and he has taken so many things, how can he not be tired.
So I think we should thank our instructor, without whom we would not have been able to complete this training. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
Jiang Chen was the first to applaud, and the classmates also applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.
Until Song Weiping pressed his hand and interrupted him: "What are you doing so sensational, do you think I haven't trained enough." Get back into the line. ”
"Uh...... Be! ”
Han Li was smart, answered, and hurriedly retreated to the team.
Looking at Han Li's appearance, Song Weiping laughed, and his classmates also laughed.
