Chapter 60: The Rhythm of the Troops (1)
The 11th National Day is also the day for the troops to change their winter clothes, for troops like Xiang Xiaotian who are in this kind of plateau area, it may have been a little cool, in current words, it is the season of other people's summer and our winter.
"One, two, three, four!"
At this time, Xiang Xiaotian's troops, although they were in a state of high combat readiness on the National Day, had no choice but to increase the intensity of training, because at this time they were facing a problem that the whole army was focusing on: the year-end assessment.
Although the soldiers who had just finished running five kilometers were in the cool autumn, they were also shirtless and sweaty, holding a basin and began to wipe their bodies with cold water.
"You perverts, although you are sweaty, you won't be cold in this weather!" Xiang Xiaotian held the basin with a towel on his shoulder, saw the sturdy comrades-in-arms in the water room, shook his head helplessly, muttered, and walked to the water heater by himself, and leisurely turned up the boiling water.
"Yo, who should I talk to, it turned out to be Xiang Dagongzi, hey! I heard that you have been assigned to the General Staff, and this should be the last time you will be with me as a grassroots soldier! It was Lin Jie who spoke, who was still practicing holding his breath in a basin of cold water, but when he heard Xiang Xiaotian's voice, he suddenly raised his head and said sarcastically to him.
Xiang Xiaotian raised his head and glared at him and didn't respond, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of language, shook his head, and found a small corner to wipe his face by himself.
It turned out that he had returned to the company from Xiang Xiaotian, and the matter of the chief of staff's condolences and the relationship with him had already been spread among the crowd, but the fact that he was desperately arrested the terrorists and injured had long been forgotten, and it had been more than half a month, and everyone still made fun of him from time to time.
Jokes aside, in fact, many people, including many officers and soldiers, think, why are such a good relationship still suffering in such a place, and if you go to any military region organ in the hinterland, it will not be a lifetime of eating and drinking spicy food!
Xiang Xiaotian also understands this truth in his heart, according to his thoughts, he doesn't want to find a comfortable place, serve him with good food and drink, and let him stay for the rest of his life!
But is this still a troop?
Xiang Xiaotian, who covered his face with a hot towel, recalled that when he first came to the army, one of the favorite questions of the leaders of the recruit company was: "Why did you come to be a soldier?" ”
Everyone answered, not even a hundred or so people without repeating a few.
When he thought to Xiang Xiaotian, he couldn't say that it was with the family, it felt so perfunctory, and it seemed a bit far-fetched to continue his mission for his grandfather, so he thought about it for a long time before saying: "Protect the family and defend the country!" ”
Almost everyone present laughed, including several chiefs, and the voices in everyone's hearts actually resonated and thought of one word: "pretending to be forced"
Xiang Xiaotian could guess what they were thinking by looking at the expressions around him, which was nothing more than contempt for himself, and said in his heart: "Cough, I know that you say that I am pretending to be forced, but if you think about it carefully, I really came for this purpose, isn't this what a soldier should do." Learning crafts, setting up non-commissioned officers, going to military school, I haven't thought about it so much, I'm not interested in thinking about the future, I don't have so much purpose as you, for now, I just want to be a good soldier comfortably, and just carry my feet to fulfill my mission! ”
Of course, he didn't say this, and he didn't bother to argue with them, because at this time he was still childish, and everything was done with "It's about me, it's about you!" "Help him with everything.
Thinking about it, Xiang Xiaotian unconsciously raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, shook his head again and muttered: "Cough, you are still comfortable to be a good soldier, but you haven't done any of it until now, and you are like a third grandson who was made in a day." ”
Just as he was about to pour water and prepare to return to work, a hurried whistle sounded:
"Three rows of collection, three rows of combination!"
"I'll go, what's the matter, won't I just come back!" Xiang Xiaotian thought of it when he heard the order, and sped up his speed and returned to the class to change his training uniform, and ran to the assembly point in front of the door.
In front of the queue, the company commander: "I received a temporary notice from my superiors that a batch of scrapped ammunition will be sent for destruction tomorrow, because the original task unit received other urgent tasks, so the temporary notice was given to our company to carry out the security guard task, the time is from six o'clock tonight to six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the specific arrangements are made after the meal is completed, and the squad leaders will notify, now everyone will go over, let's set off on time at 6:30, and the three of you eat quickly!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian walked in the queue and thought depressedly: "Wow, this day is really not idle, this is not a few days of normal days, it has come again, come on, I have to lie outside for a night tonight!" ”
Because there was no cadre leading the team, the queue began to whisper: "Why is it us again, anything can fall on us, theoretically speaking, we should be foreign aid troops, we are guests, this is good, we can plug in everything!" In other words, is this 24-hour task enough for our number of people? ”
"How good, I've been suffocated lately, and I don't have any tasks, just training, I want to go out and move my muscles!" It was Lin Jie who answered, this guy seemed to be always full of enthusiasm, in Xiang Xiaotian's words: "You are idle all day, and you want to have fun for yourself if you have nothing to do!" ”
"I want to be active! The two of you are out of line, fifty push-ups in two minutes, and I'm done and I'm going to eat quickly! The squad leader glared at them and said, the two of them had to lie down and 'move', causing the queue to laugh secretly!
Xiang Xiaotian looked at them and thought of joy in his heart: "Fortunately, I have made rapid progress, I have evolved from your gang of dirt and eight roads early, otherwise it is very likely that I am lying there now!" ”
Eating quickly, everyone quickly returned to the squad and put on travel equipment, according to the briefing of the squad leader just now, the ammunition will arrive at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, that is, it will be a whole day of vigilance, because the company has a sniper rifle or the commander is assigned to Lin Jie, so the task of the commanding heights is on Lin Jie Xiang Xiaotian, which is also a rare time for these two people to be together again in recent times.
Late at night on the frontier in October, it's not cold anymore, it's cold!
When I arrived at the destination, although the city's railway station was very small, it couldn't bear that the number of people was too small, and the number of people in a whole platoon could not be lined up in groups of two or three, so we had to increase patrol defense.
Xiang Xiaotian and Lin Jie stood on the roof of a warehouse in a small railway station, shivering from the cold even though they were wearing coats, and they had to keep a 360-degree attention at all times.
A cold wind blew, sneezed into Xiaotian, shrunk his collar and said: "Damn, now I'm really a little envious of their patrols below, at least I can still wander around, find a place with a wall to block the wind, let's get this right, cough, you said I don't have anything to do with you, if there is really any situation, as soon as we turn on the flashlight, the whole two live targets." ”
Lin Jie didn't answer him, but because he hadn't been exposed to night shooting for a while, he aimed at the people below with high spirits, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head to Xiang Xiaotian and said: "Hey, what you said makes sense, but I'm very strange, why are we still afraid of cold when we live in this environment for a long time, it should be like in martial arts novels!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian: "......"
