Chapter III: The Western Theater of Operations
……
The results of the physical examination came out, Wang Feng was normal, and his physical fitness indicators had improved, but the second pole had never escaped this catastrophe and was sent back to Sandong Village.
Wang Feng felt sorry for the second pole, his physical fitness was obviously a few points stronger than himself......
After the organization meeting, assign the affiliation of each recruit.
The old platoon leader roared: "Wang Feng! ”
"Here!"
"Because you are outstanding, diligent, agile and willing to work, you have a good training score. At the discretion of your superiors, you are assigned to the Infantry of the Fifty Corps in the Western Theater of Operations! ”
"Yes!"
Wang Feng responded, happy in his heart, volunteering to fill in the infantry and airborne troops, and the organization really satisfied his first volunteer.
It is impossible to directly serve in the Air Force, and the requirements for enlisting in the Air Force are strict in all aspects.
But in any case, the sea, land and air are all warriors who defend the motherland, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
Sure enough, as the second pole said, the training of the recruit company is to test personal performance, and it is best to rush to do any labor, because you can do it if you grab it, and you have to do it if you don't grab it, it is better to be diligent and diligent, and finally get a praise.
Of course, Wang Feng himself is very diligent, and the same is true at home, when he encounters something, his first reaction is to rush over and finish it.
The kids in the cities always complained that the soldiers in the countryside adapted quickly, and that turned out to be the case.
Carrying large bags and small bags, Wang Feng came to the designated position and waited for the armed forces to pick him up.
Among the recruits who were about to go to the 50th District to merge with the 13th District Army, there were no other companions from Sandong Village, which made Wang Feng a little disappointed.
In the air-chartered car, the road was bumpy, and this time the journey was longer than the two hours away from home.
Wang Feng sat in his position, looked at the red five-pointed star on his green tree-like hat, and fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, the night was covering the outside world, and after sitting for so long, I hadn't reached my destination yet, China was so big.
This is Wang Feng's farthest distance from home, the distance is still increasing, and his heart is about Sandong Village, which makes him panic, but the unfamiliar environment makes him feel at ease.
Wang Feng felt the warm breath of the south, was a little surprised, and muttered:
"Southern... It's so warm..."
Habitually pinched the talisman on the chest, for three months, I will care about it every day, although I don't know what is inside, but this is a family heirloom, and it is my mother's thoughts, which is very important.
The teammates in the car didn't speak, and like Wang Feng, they were so far away from their hometown for the first time, and they all had trepidation about the stranger in their hearts.
"Hey, brother, are you homesick?"
The teammate sitting next to him asked.
Wang Feng nodded and said truthfully:
"I've been away from home for three months, and I miss my mother."
"I want to open up, brother, when you become a big official, it's not too late to go back and report again."
The teammates next to him spread their hands and comforted them from the side.
Wang Feng shook his head when he heard this: "I don't want to be a big official, my dream is to defend the country and protect the people!" ”
The conversation between the two reached the surrounding teammates, and after they heard it, their mouths made a smack sound, thinking that the young man was pretending, muttering in their hearts, and someone said it directly, pointing to the guide:
"Brother, there are so many people all over the world! You're in that row to protect the people? That's the police's business! A stray bullet on the Sino-Vietnamese battlefield will solve you! And whose dream will be...... What the hell? You're not the Jade Emperor, and you don't pee on yourself, why are you thinking about it so much? ”
Wang Feng just wanted to stand up and refute, but was pressed down by his teammates next to him:
"Huh! Forget it, I know him, he is from the same town as me, this man is called Hanwei, he is usually very arrogant, and his words are not less offended. ”
"Being a gangster in the town, even if you are a soldier, you are still a soldier, and you are too lazy to bother with him."
When Wang Feng heard this, he nodded, sat in his position, turned his head, and stayed away from him in the future.
"By the way, what's your name? My name is Liu Yong and I am from Dayaoba Town, Qindian District, Beijing... Oh yes, all the people in this car are Pekingese. ”
"My name is Wang Feng, nicknamed Fengfeng, and I'm from Sandong Village."
Wang Feng rarely makes friends, and when he heard this, he replied cautiously, and when he saw the other party's overtures, he also smiled, although the smile was not so natural.
"Three... Dong Village? ”
Liu Yong saw that the other party didn't say anything, and he didn't have the impression of this village in his mind.
"Outside the Sixth Ring Road."
Wang Feng nodded, but was proud of his hometown.
"It's so far from the center, no wonder...... The air in Samdong Village must be very good. ”
Wang Feng said: "It's really good, but I don't know much about what it's like in the city, and I've only been to Munich in big cities." ”
Liu Yong was surprised: "Munich? Awesome, isn't that in a foreign country? Seems to be in France, right? …”
"In West Germany."
Wang Feng was gloomy.
Liu Yong was still excited, and didn't pay attention to his expression:
"Awesome, my brother Feng, I haven't been abroad yet, West Germany must be very prosperous, right? … Hey, Brother Feng, what's wrong with you? ”
Wang Feng said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Seeing the frustrated Wang Feng, Liu Yong hooked his shoulder, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, and said:
"Don't talk about it......"
Wang Feng whispered, as if he didn't want people nearby to hear:
"My father was seriously injured in West Germany, and when he returned home, he couldn't be rescued..."
"I'm sorry bro! I didn't mean to! Excuse me! ”
Liu Yong hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay, it's all in the past."
Wang Feng shook his head, it seemed to be an understatement, he had already held back his tears three times, and whenever he thought of his father, he would sob.
Liu Yong has high emotional intelligence and knows how to stop in moderation, so he quickly changed the topic:
"We will be comrades-in-arms from now on! Make a friend! ”
"Hmm!"
The two of them have a tacit high-five, which is Wang Feng's first confidant in his life.
The two chatted happily, and before they knew it, the car had arrived at the garrison of the 13th Army and the 50th Army in Yuzhong District, Chongqing.
……
"Welcome to the 13th Army garrison, please follow the guidance on the bulletin to find your own dormitory."
The veterans warmly greeted the recruits, led them, and gave them instructions.
The accommodation is a bungalow with red walls and black tiles, and the architecture is much better than the mud wall.
Wang Feng's bed number is 132, and he found a location, but he encountered a headache, and it seemed that he was in the same bedroom with the gangster named Hanwei.
"Hey! The dream is to protect the brothers of the people of the motherland, I have a bedroom with you! Ha ha... Do you smoke? ”
Hanway pretended to be friendly and handed out cigarettes, which were contraband in the army.
"Thanks, don't smoke."
Wang Feng waved his hand in decline, and then a puff of smoke and betel nut smell floated in, and he frowned.
At this moment, a figure rushed in at the door.
"Ahh I'll share a bedroom with you! What a coincidence! ”
The person who came was his good friend Liu Yong. Wang Feng pulled him aside and asked with a little eagerness:
"Are we in the same dormitory as Hanway?"
"No, when I looked at the bulletin board, I browsed the nearby bed number, and there was no him!"
Liu Yong thought about it and affirmed.
"How can you be a soldier and don't smoke?"
Han Wei's voice came again, and when he saw Liu Yong, he was surprised:
"Hey! Fellow! … Are you here wow? Come on, come on, just a cigarette! ”
"There is no pie in the sky, tell me what you mean by coming to our dormitory."
Although Liu Yong smoked, he quit in order to be a soldier, pushed Han Wei's hand away, and asked coldly.
"Hey, what's the tone, I'm so grumpy! Believe it or not, smash your bed? ”
Han Wei was angry and asked, pointing to Liu Yong's bed.
Liu Yong knew that Hanwei could do anything, and if he wanted to smash the bed, he really couldn't stop him.
And I heard that his elder brother Han Jian is also in the infantry team of the 13th Military Region in Chongqing, and it has been two years, and Han Jian is now a senior veteran.
Even if you can afford to mess with him, you can't afford to mess with his brother for the time being.
Liu Yong was quiet and did not refute, Wang Feng said lightly:
"Hanway, don't deceive people too much."
"Hey, you know my name?"
Han Wei narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Yong with a scattered gaze, and understood why:
"We northerners, we like to go straight, then I'll get straight to the point, you, give me the quilt! I need two layers of quilts to sleep! Cover it to get warm! ”
He pointed to Wang Feng's quilt, he originally wanted Wang Feng and Liu Yong, but Liu Yong and himself are from the same town, where are the villagers and elders, if the matter of robbing the quilt is spread to the family and out, the impact will not be good.
"Why for you!"
Wang Feng tightened the quilt in his luggage, which was embroidered with red patterns, which his mother carefully sewed for herself.
"With this!"
Hanwei rolled up his cuffs, revealing the muscles with lines on his arms, and before Wang Feng could react, he reached out and grabbed the quilt.
Wang Feng pulled hard, and Han Wei's strength was really much greater than his own, and he was able to pull himself with one hand.
His other hand grabbed at the three o'clock red, which was his only military uniform, and if he lost it, he would be punished.
Free up other forces to protect the three points of red, and the quilt "swished" and disappeared from his hand.
At this time, Liu Yong on the side reacted and rushed towards Hanwei angrily:
"Hanwei returned the quilt to Wang Feng! I'm warning you! Don't think how good your brother is in this unit, believe it or not, I will report it to the platoon commander? He is also a conscript, and he is also under the control of the platoon commander! ”
"Yo yo yo! Do you dare to warn me? Still threatening me? Believe it or not, I'll kill you! Dog's day, let's take a look at how many pounds and taels you have first! ”
Han Wei's eyes widened, his anger rushed to the crown, and after speaking, he threw himself directly towards Liu Yong.
Wang Feng saw that the situation was not right, both parties had murderous aura, and he didn't want Liu Yong to offend others because of himself, so he hurriedly put Sandianhong on the bed and went to stop it:
"Liu Yong, no need, this is my grudge against him."
In the early days of recruits, if they were allowed to fight together, the company commander would know about it, and the nature would be extremely bad, and if it was serious, they would be sent back to their hometowns directly.
When Liu Yong heard this, he snorted, jumped to the side, and just fought with him for a while, and was surprised to find that Hanwei's strength was indeed a few points greater than his own, and this gangster usually exercised a lot!
He withdrew his hand, and Hanwei followed suit, grabbed the quilt and ran out.
"You... How could you let him go? The quilt was snatched away by him! ”
Liu Yong wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Wang Feng, who glared and shouted.
Wang Feng shook his head, knowing that Han Wei's strength was not ordinary, he was afraid that he would retaliate against Liu Yong:
"This is a matter between me and him, and I don't want you to offend him because of the quilt."
Liu Yong's heart warmed, but he looked at Hanwei, who was running farther and farther, and was anxious:
"But... You didn't sleep with a quilt! ”
"It's okay, isn't there still a bed in the army?"
Wang Feng said, he didn't chase Hanwei for the time being, maybe he had already run to the squad leader to hide.
"Huh? You... You don't really think that the quilt is used to sleep, do you? ”
Liu Yong covered his face and said, while Wang Feng looked puzzled: "Isn't it?" ”
"Of course not! It was a military quilt, specially used to fold, and after it was folded, it was reluctant to move it at all, let alone cover it. ”
"Ahh … That, this... What can be done. ”
Wang Feng's face was full of innocence, and he wanted to chase Hanwei, but he was not familiar with the map, so he didn't know where he was hiding now.
……
Tonight, under the strange eyes of their roommates, the two huddled together on the narrow sheets.
"I said Brother Feng, why did you join the army?"
Liu Yong tightened the quilt, and after putting the quilt on his armpit, he asked Wang Feng beside him.
Wang Feng was speechless, Liu Yong looked obviously older than himself, but he kept calling "Brother Feng", he should call him Brother Yong.
"My dream has not changed, it is exactly what was said in the car, I want to defend the motherland and protect the people!"
Wang Feng evoked the dream of eight years ago and said firmly.
"That's it... Brother Feng, your dream is so great. ”
Wang Feng loosened the quilt on his legs, afraid that he wouldn't be able to cover it, and when he saw Liu Yong shaking his head, he asked:
"Brother Liu, what is your dream?"
"Alas, at my age, what dreams are there to talk about, let me tell you, my daughter is already a year old ... In order to have a little allowance and make life better for my daughter and wife in the future, I had to leave them..."
When Wang Feng heard this, he was surprised that Liu Yong still had his daughter, and at the same time, he sympathized with him very much:
"When the allowance comes down, I'll give you a little."
"No, thank you for your kindness, the recruit company generally doesn't get the allowance, besides, I won't accept any funding from others."
Wang Feng said: "When you need it, call me again, it is urgent!" ”
"Good brother!"
The two chatted and chose, and fell asleep, and they didn't sleep well that night, because it was cold for the cold wind to blow into their ankles.
The next day, the morning exercise was done before dawn, and the housekeeping and breakfast were still completed in 20 minutes.
I heard that the squad leader is rare, and he is very active and diligent this morning, because there is a recruit title and oath ceremony.
"I am a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and hereby I swear: obey the leadership of the Communist Party of China! Serve the people wholeheartedly! Obey orders! Be disciplined! Fight bravely! Not afraid of sacrifice! Faithful! Work hard, practice the ability to kill the enemy, and resolutely complete the task! Under no circumstances will the Motherland be betrayed! Never betray the army! In order to defend the motherland and defend the construction of the four modernizations, we will not hesitate to sacrifice everything we have, fight bravely and fight for victory! I resolutely fulfill the above oath! Never violate!! ”
Wang Feng stood facing the August 1st Army Flag, tightly clenched his right fist that was always raised next to his temple, and roared hard, even if his voice was hoarse, even if his nose was sour.
"Father, I'm one step closer to my dream!"
