The third major event that took place this year was a contest of martial arts, and the regiment organized a contest of martial arts, which was different from the usual, and the usual contest was actually just a simple contest and had nothing to do with actual combat, but this contest was launched against the background of reform, after the battle, and there was also on-the-spot guidance from the leaders of the headquarters, which was extremely unusual.

The contest was held in September, when the curtain of military reform had already been opened, the slogan of reforming and strengthening the army could be heard everywhere, and there were more requirements for actual combat in training. However, no one can say for sure what exactly is combatization. Although at the beginning of the year, we took part in the operation to eliminate terrorists, but during the training, we still could not find ideas, and there was still a big gap between us and the operation at that time.

Just as everyone was still in the process of exploring, the news of the competition came. When there was still a month before the competition, the superiors issued an advance notice, first clarifying the personnel participating in the competition, but the specific content was not mentioned. But that's enough, since there is a competition, let's prepare seriously. Judging from the notice from the superiors, the personnel of the competition asked the company commander, the platoon commander, and five soldiers to form a team to participate in the competition.

At this time, my company commander Zhao Yuming was studying in the south at this time, and could not come back to participate in the competition, after communicating with his superiors, I replaced the company commander to lead the team to participate in the competition, this situation I have expected, after the company commander studied, the company commander's work was almost completed by me, and I almost became the acting company commander at this time. I was expecting it, but when I heard the news, I was thrilled and of course stressed. I like to compete in martial arts, and I can say that I am happy when I hear about it, because I know that every competition is a challenge and a pursuit of honor. I believe in honor.

Among our current cadre, I can be said to be the other among us, when everyone is confused and wandering, when they are all studying to change jobs, I am the only one who is still training hard, and even working hard to the extent of desperate. Now, I still get up an hour early every morning, run a five-kilometer run, then pull the horizontal bar, frog jump, push-ups, and after sweating, wash up, and then the company gets up, and I go out with the company for morning exercises. During the day and night, I also arranged a full schedule, leaving only an hour to chat with Wang Ruoshi every day, and the rest of the time was either training or reading, I didn't even rest, even the weekends were the same full arrangement, for me, reading a book is rest and entertainment.

This kind of behavior makes my cadres of the same session very incomprehensible, even Liu Chaoju, who often chats and communicates, I rarely chat with him recently. I feel like that kind of chat is a waste of time, and I might as well read two more pages of the book if I have that time. In this regard, Liu Chaoju's evaluation of me is that Gao Xiaofei is crazy, just like Fan Jinzhongju, Gao Xiaofei is crazy.

I don't care what anyone else thinks of me, I have my own dreams, I have my own path, and I want to work towards my dreams.

After the notice of the competition was issued, I immediately organized the backbone cadres of the whole company to study the notice of the competition and select the team members.

"That's the plan, it's very simple, there are a total of seven participants, I will bring a platoon leader, a squad leader, two non-commissioned officers, and two conscripts, and the seven people will also include a telegrapher. Today we select the team members, in the next month, we have to organize targeted training, although we do not know the specific content of the program, but we can first mention the physical fitness, in order to respond to all changes. "While analyzing the situation of the competition, I observed the expressions of the backbone of the squad leader, and I wanted to see the attitude of the backbone of each squad leader.

After a pause, I continued: "Let's recommend candidates from each squad leader and platoon leader below, or you can nominate yourself, and then we will choose among the people recommended by everyone." ”

After I finished speaking, the conference room was silent for a few seconds, and the backbone of each squad leader thought about it according to the standards and requirements, and after a few short seconds, a heated discussion began. Some squad leaders recommend their own class fighters, some squad leaders recommend other class fighters, and some squad leaders are also self-recommending, and there are many discussions. I've been taking notes of everyone's opinions.

After a heated discussion that lasted for half an hour, a list of nine candidates was finally determined, including me, platoon commander Li Junyi, squad leader Chang Yongli, noncommissioned officer Li Yaopeng, noncommissioned officer Zhou Meilong, noncommissioned officer Bao Ji Gelitu, volunteer soldier Yang Yang, conscription Zhou Chaofan, and conscripted soldier Li Guoqing. The two people who have different opinions and are more controversial are mainly in the selection of the newspaper operator, one is the non-commissioned officer Zhou Meilong, and the other is the volunteer Zhou Chaofan, and the level of the two people is not too similar, the key is that each has its own strength and weakness, and it is not easy to choose, and it also affects the choice of other non-commissioned officers and conscripts. In the end, I made a decision that 9 people would train together, and the assessment would be conducted a month later.

From this day on, the martial arts officers of our company, under my leadership, began to strengthen the devil in anticipation of the whole regimental competition in a month's time.

Combined with the situation of the martial arts competition in previous years and the research and discussion of the backbone of the squad platoon, I formulated a detailed training plan, including various skills, physical fitness, covering a very wide range of content, this is our strategy, comprehensive preparation, key breakthroughs. In the morning, we are basically in the meeting to study, but we are not afraid of a long time for such a meeting, as the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, in order to prepare for the competition, we must conduct full discussion and research, otherwise blind preparation will only backfire and waste time.

The plan has been made, just wait for time.

As soon as I got up in the afternoon, the devil training officially began, and the first thing to practice was cover construction and combat movements. In the entire training ground, except for the sound of everyone's crackling homework, only my angry scolding remained, and the most severely scolded were Zhou Meilong and Zhou Chaofan. As I said, people are different, but different company commanders have the same temperament, from the old company commander Sun Zhenwu I came into contact with, to the company commander Zhao Yuming, when they were company commanders at the beginning, they were different, but after this post, they became more and more alike, and the similarity is the characteristics of the company commander. And since Company Commander Zhao went out to study and I was in charge of the company commander's work, I feel that I have become more and more like them. At least, it looks like a scolding when you open your mouth.

In the whole training ground, I was the loudest.

"You two are fucking virtuous, none of you are good, don't you usually go to the newspaper, and you don't have time to train! It seems that the next step is to fucking intensify the training of those who have positions! The gap is not a star! That's it, how to go to the competition! A scolding resounded through the training ground, and the others did not dare to interject, but kept waving the sapper shovel and pickaxe in their hands to train the bunker construction.

"How many fucking times have you said it, every time you swing the pickaxe, you must use force, the landing point must be accurate, you can plane once, don't plane a second time, try to save time and energy. You feel that every time you plane lightly, but have you ever thought about how many more planing times you do, so it is definitely not as good as shaving hard and saving effort! "Giving guidance while scolding is my current method of organizing training, which I learned from the old company commander Sun Zhenwu, and everyone is accustomed to it; sometimes some comrades joke and say that they don't look at people, but only listen to voices, and they think that it is still Company Commander Sun who organizes the training. I was very happy to hear that, at least I was close to the company commander in terms of image.

I'm not just organising training, I'm naturally training as well. In the first two hours of the afternoon, I dug a total of four bunkers and climbed five combat maneuvers, and I felt that through the targeted research in the morning and the targeted training in the afternoon, my own performance and everyone's performance have also improved.

Skills training is followed by physical training, and a 10-kilometer run with a weight of 25 kg awaits everyone. Seeing that I kept loading things into the backpack with enthusiasm, it seemed that the backpack contained a lot more things than himself, and the soldier Yang Yang asked me puzzled: "Deputy company commander, do you have too much in this backpack, more than 25 kilograms?" ”

"I know, I deliberately decorate more, 30 kilograms." I pressed it down again and continued to add weight to it.

"Deputy company commander, this 25 kilograms running ten kilometers is enough, you can add more, it's amazing!" Yang Yang gave a thumbs up and praised, and Yang Yang then asked: "Deputy Company Commander, you not only have to organize everyone to practice, but you also practice so hard, I don't understand, everyone is resting, and they all hope to be relaxed, just you are working hard, what are you for?" ”

Hearing Yang Yang's question, I put down the backpack in my hand and looked at Yang Yang seriously: "Yang Yang, you must know that a person lives not for enjoyment and relaxation, but for the pursuit of life and the value of life. I'm also willing to take a break to play games and chat with my girlfriend, but what's the point of living like that, it's just a waste of time, I used to be like this, confused and overwhelmed, and the future is bleak. But after thinking about it, I have found my ideal pursuit, and I will work hard for my ideal pursuit. Since the road ahead is bleak, I will use my own efforts to create a road ahead of myself. ”

Yang Yang looked at me dumbfounded, he stopped talking, he opened the already packed backpack again, and continued to add weights to it.
