Chongqing, where the 17951 unit of the People's Liberation Army is stationed.

The hot summer has come again, but for the barracks, whether it is midsummer or winter, there is not much difference, and all kinds of training still have to be carried out as usual.

Everywhere there were figures with young faces, sweat soaking through their clothes, and from a distance you could see that the backs of each soldier were already soaked with sweat, but none of them sat down to rest.

This is the training ground of the 17951 unit of the People's Liberation Army of our country, and thousands of people in the whole regiment are carrying out various training in batches, running with weights, sit-ups, push-ups, marching orders, manners and etiquette, etc., except for the operation without mechanization, there is everything that should be trained in this training ground.

As for mechanized training, the troops need a higher level of instruction.

The predecessor of the 17951 unit was a trump card force in the country during the Liberation War, and there were few defeats, but unfortunately, during the Korean War, the joint **** was resisted for three days and nights, and the ammunition was exhausted, although the task was completed, the troops were also crippled and forced to return to the country for repair, which is the origin of the current 17951 troops.

Yang Feng is a member of this unit, close to one meter eight in height, has been a soldier for a year and a half, although he is only twenty years old, he has already obtained the position of squad leader, like other old squad leaders, mainly responsible for the training of recruits.

The sun is scorching, and the sun at noon is simply unbearable, especially in a city like Chongqing, which is famous for its high temperatures.

"To the right - turn!"

"Let's go!" ……

One by one, the passwords were issued from Yang Feng's mouth in an orderly manner, and he watched with satisfaction as the recruits in front of him completed one instruction after another under his own password, Yang Feng always thought of his old squad leader, the calm veteran.

Veteran, is Yang Feng's name for the squad leader in their class, he is twenty-seven years old this year, one meter 76 tall, eighteen years old in the army, is an out-and-out veteran. Because he has no diploma or academic qualifications, he has never been promoted, although the regiment has interceded many times, and now he is just a second-class non-commissioned officer.

has been a soldier for nearly ten years, but he is a second-class non-commissioned officer, and if he changes someone else, he is afraid that he will quit a long time ago, but he is a veteran, he just smiled faintly, lit a cigarette when no one was around, and smoked silently.

The veteran was an orphan, and the whole regiment knew that.

At the beginning, the veteran's parents were seriously ill, but the veteran's family was poor, and the high cost of treatment sentenced the veteran's parents to death, at that moment......

Every time he talked about this, the veteran's eyes were always red, but he was strong and did not shed a single tear, but choked up and stopped talking.

Sighing in his heart, Yang Feng shook his head and glanced at the tall figure in the distance, with a completely complicated look in his eyes.

Yang Feng is 20 years old this year, a native of Chongqing, with only high Chinese, he chose to join the army just after graduation, not only because of his yearning, but also because of his family.

As soon as the three-month training in the recruit camp ended, Yang Feng received a notice that his old father had died of illness in the People's Hospital. Yang Feng took the notice, tears couldn't stop falling, as the best recruit in the new barracks, Yang Feng didn't have time to tell his father the good news, his father had already left him, and his mother was underground, Yang Feng was sad.

After putting away the notice, Yang Feng asked for leave and came to the People's Hospital. He wanted to take his father back and bury his body in his hometown.

In fact, Yang Feng knew in his heart that if he hadn't joined the army after graduating from high school and joined the army, his father would have been expelled from the hospital long ago.

When the high medical bill was placed in front of Yang Feng, Yang Feng reached out and took out all the family property from the backpack behind him, which was obtained after selling the family's house and a few acres of thin fields, but it was just to see how to maintain his father's condition from deteriorating!

Finally, the expenses ran out, and as a military dependent, the hospital did not do anything hastily, but still politely notified the leaders of the troops, and then the orders were conveyed level by level, and finally reached Yang Feng, who had just walked out of the new barracks.

Yang Feng looked at his father asleep, at that moment, he didn't cry, just trembled his hands, carried his father, took a taxi back to his hometown, buried his father and mother together with a handful of loess, set up a tomb card, put a bouquet of flowers, saluted a standard military salute, turned his trembling body, and returned to the barracks.

From that moment on, the barracks were already Yang Feng's home.

Perhaps, Yang Feng's experience is similar to that of a veteran, during the recruit period, the veteran has always taken care of Yang Feng very much, of course, the training care is even more ruthless, and there is not the slightest moisture.

This is also an important reason why Yang Feng won the championship in the first year's recruit competition.

For Yang Feng, the veteran is not just a squad leader, but more like a brother.

"Stand upright!"

"You kid, you're distracted again, what are you thinking?"

Yang Feng came back to his senses at this time, and suddenly found that in his stunned kung fu, the recruits he trained had "crossed the line".

They were already close behind the other team, so it was no wonder that they were overstepping their authority.

The person who came is also Yang Feng's brother, when the recruits were trained, they were all veterans of their class, named Li Han, twenty-four years old, 1.85 meters tall, full of Shandong Han, straightforward personality, usually close to Yang Feng, in private Yang Feng called him "Brother Han".

Yang Feng is not embarrassed, anyway, it is not the first time, but he is quite happy in his heart, and his training during this period can be regarded as a slight achievement.

"Take a break and relax in place for ten minutes."

Suddenly, one by one, the recruits sat down on the spot as if they had been amnestied, cherishing this rare time of rest.

Yang Feng had already walked to the other side and chatted with Li Han.

"Xiaofeng, I've been a soldier for almost a year and a half, do you have any feelings?"

Yang Feng scratched his head embarrassedly, this habit would only be subconsciously made when they met with their own people.

"Brother Han, what can I think, just be a little soldier all the time, feed the whole family by one person and not be hungry, don't you say?" After speaking, Yang Feng smiled embarrassedly.

"What do you say?" Li Han turned his face blank, "Others don't know about you kid, can I still not know?" If your kid's ability is only a small soldier, then it will be a big loss. I know, you're worried that there is no way up there, and it's not good to trouble the squad leader (of course, a veteran), but with your kid's skills, it's a pity not to be a special soldier. ”

Li Han sighed and shook his head, his family knows his own affairs, and they don't know Yang Feng's excellence, but this society is like this, there is no way, no matter how excellent people are, they can only stand aside and become a foil!

Yang Feng didn't know in his heart that he was just an orphan, helpless, and it was rare to be able to eat in the army, so how could he ask for more.

Yang Feng sighed in his heart, whenever he thought of this, it was like a thorn in his heart, but this time, he didn't see it, and a glimmer of light flashed in Li Han's eyes.

"Xiaofeng, if I told you that there is an opportunity in front of you now, what would you choose?"

"Brother Han, don't be kidding, it's not early, wait for the shift leader to check today's training, you don't want to be punished, you don't know the severity of the squad leader, don't blame my brother for not pleading for mercy." Yang Feng said with a smile.

Turning around and about to leave, but was only held down by a pair of big hands, Yang Feng turned his head in surprise and looked at Li Han with a serious face, only then did he realize that this upright Shandong man was not joking, he was telling himself very seriously.

"Brother Han, I'm sorry, I ......"

"Okay, a big man doesn't have a mother-in-law. It's not a secret, and it is estimated that it will be notified in the army in a few days? Cicada. ”

"That's right, the top must select a group of outstanding soldiers to participate in the selection of special forces. Don't be in a hurry to ask, listen to me. ”

Li Han waved his hand and stopped Yang Feng, who wanted to speak and stopped.

"This selection is different from the selection in our own army, it is nationwide!" Li Han's eyes showed a hint of obvious excitement, for a man like him, it was a very exciting thing to be able to compete with the masters of his peers.

"Oh." Yang Feng nodded noncommittally, Li Han was speechless for a while, and the excited look on his face gradually faded.

It's not that Yang Feng doesn't believe what Li Han said, but the society tells Yang Feng not to have any illusions about anything, what you get is the most real!

Li Han also knew that it seemed that Yang Feng was a white and pure person, and he looked weak, but if anyone thought that he was easy to bully, it would be a big mistake, Yang Feng was so ruthless in his bones that even the veteran guy was full of praise, fighting alone, no one dared to say that he could steadily drop Yang Feng off the horse.

Maybe he has experienced a lot of injustices in society, Yang Feng's heart is also extremely stubborn, once he decides something, even eight cows can't pull it back.

Li Han looked at Yang Feng's eyes and said solemnly: "Xiaofeng, this is an opportunity for you, go to participate in the special assessment, why stay in this small place where birds don't, go out in the future and let our brothers have the capital to brag, haha......" At the end, Li Han couldn't help laughing, he was not a serious person, and this smile suddenly destroyed the previous solemn atmosphere.

"Now there is still about half a year before the official start of the assessment, Xiaofeng, if you want to participate, prepare well." Patting Yang Feng on the shoulder, Li Han took a deep look at his good brother, and turned around to train the recruits.

Looking at the back of Li Han's departure, Yang Feng was moved in his heart, all along, his "Brother Han" has taken care of himself very much, whether it is in training or life, perhaps, this is what it feels like to have a big brother.

At the same time, Yang Feng was very bitter in his heart, of course he knew why Li Han repeatedly persuaded him to participate in the special assessment, because Li Han's dream has always been to join the special forces one day, even if it is just an ordinary special forces, for this reason, he resolutely joined the barracks, only one step away from his dream, it is this short step, but he has no chance to cross - he does not meet the selection requirements of special forces. As for the specific reason, he didn't say it, and Yang Feng didn't ask much, but he knew that that day, the old squad leader's bedroom came from the cry of this Shandong man, and the old squad leader's eyes were also red.

"Is there still half a year, Brother Han, for you, it's worth a try!" Yang Feng said silently in his heart.

Looking at Li Han's back, Yang Feng's eyes were full of determination.
