"I'm afraid I don't have a chance,"

"Say goodbye to you,"

"Because maybe I'll never see you again,"

……

"I'll keep your face in mind,"

"I will cherish the thoughts you give,"

"These days will never be erased from my heart,"

……

All the officers and men of the 11th Company of the 4th Battalion of the 385th Armored Infantry Regiment of a certain group army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army were singing a send-off song inside the club.

Today, the company instructor is leaving.

Many veterans cried while singing, and their eyes were red like walnuts.

Although he had thought of such a scene a long time ago and said that he would not cry, the moment he stood in the crowd, Zhang Junbao still cried.

Today, at four o'clock in the morning, the whole class rode a horse borrowed from Uncle Xidu's house towards the station in the city.

rushed to the company all the way, this is the second time Zhang Junbao has seen the company.

He never thought that one day he would return here, and in his heart, the warrior's second home might be the brick house on the steppe that was no different from a shack.

Maybe it was because they looked too ordinary, or maybe it was the news that the instructor was leaving that people had no time to take care of, but they didn't meet a birdman like Jiang Tao along the way.

At half past eight in the morning, everyone in the company gathered at the company club, except for the personnel who normally participated in the service.

It was a farewell party unique to military personnel.

"Today, I'll just say a few words, and you don't have to say that I'm bothering you all day long."

The instructor stood in front with a microphone on his face, but his eyes were full of sadness.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Between comrades-in-arms, eat in a pot and sleep in a room, and after a few years, the heart of the stone will melt.

"As for me, I went to work in the regiment, and I didn't go far, and I came back when I had time."

"Oh, I'm not used to saying sensational things."

Zhang Junbao stood in the crowd and saw clearly, the instructor suddenly burst into tears as he spoke, and a glimmer of light appeared on his face full of vicissitudes of life.

"Every year when the army is discharged and our soldiers leave, I have also sent many people, and I also thought that one day someone would send me, but I didn't expect it to be now."

"You can't learn how to walk from me in the future, I know that some of you, such as Lu Shaocheng, Liu Hongjian, Chen Yuanchen, especially you, are all veterans."

There was a "poof", I don't know who suddenly laughed, and then there was a deafening laughter in the room.

Lao Liu, who was standing in front, couldn't help but smile, they have lived together for many years, and everyone understands what kind of people each other are.

"Director Wang, sing a song."

Wang Liang, the leader of the platoon, suddenly shouted, and then the people in the house followed suit.

"Stop, stop, where can I sing any song," Director Wang's sharp voice did sound a little unpleasant, but it was particularly vicissitudes of life, and there was an indescribable taste.

"No, Director Wang, you're leaving, sing us one."

"Director Wang, come to one!"

"Tell you to come, and you will come!"

……

Suddenly there was a shouting of singing in the club, a platoon of leaders stood in front and waved their fists, and the whole company was shouting loudly.

Zhang Junbao stood in the crowd and inexplicably caught up with the rhythm.

Troop singing and collective activities are always so weird, just a slogan or a few lines of military songs can make a group of people scream and excited.

"Okay," Director Wang waved his hand and said, "I'll sing a camel bell." ”

The old guy who enlisted in the army in more than nine years always likes old songs, and Zhang Junbao later thought that if Director Wang sang a song like "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days", it is estimated that few people in the company would be able to sing it.

"Send comrades-in-arms and embark on a journey,"

"Silent two tears,"

"Camel bells ringing in my ears,"

……

"Comrade-in-arms, comrade-in-arms,"

"Dear Brother,"

"Beware of the cold wind in the middle of the night,"

"Take care all the way,"

……

The officers and men of the company did not know which line to start singing along, and the voice was very loud.

The roaring singing of the Chinese soldiers, combined with the incomplete voice of the broken gong, was able to sing this song with a unique taste.

That's the taste of being part of the feelings of comrades-in-arms.

After singing a song, the instructor couldn't help it, and turned around alone.

Lao Liu took the microphone from his hand, glanced at the people in the company, and said, "The instructor is leaving today, and there will be a chance to meet in the future." ”

"When the veterans are discharged, they may not really be able to see each other."

"To be honest, I don't know what to say today, it was supposed to be a big day for the instructor to be promoted, but I ......."

Halfway through Lao Liu's words, he put down the microphone angrily.

Some people say that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.

Zhang Junbao experienced this kind of parting for the first time, and his heart was sour, thinking that he would be strong and persist to the end, but the tears flowed down uncontrollably.

He didn't meet and communicate with Director Wang much, and it was only during the period when he was hospitalized.

Director Wang helped him break his leg and helped him take care of him in the regiment, which he didn't know.

Now, he's leaving, I don't know how to say that sentence, there is a kind of parting maybe silence is better than sound.

Zhang Junbao didn't know if he would have the opportunity to meet with the instructor, although he said that he was in a group, but the distance would get farther and farther away.

He was the last group of soldiers to join the three-year compulsory military system, once fed pigs on the farm, and later experienced flood fighting and disaster relief, joined the party in the line of fire, and made meritorious contributions in the line of fire.

Director Wang had been injured, and judging from his crooked hips and shoulders, he knew that it was a back injury.

He walks very distinctively, and wears leather shoes and long socks for physical training, which is a beautiful scenery in the barracks, and the veterans of the company sometimes follow the way he walks, which looks quite tasteful.

His military posture was never regular, but his superiors never said anything about him; The soldiers he led were all company commanders, and he was still an instructor.

He was the oldest instructor in the regiment, and when he heard about the reform of some of the systems of the troops, he was transferred to the logistics unit.

Maybe he will never be able to return to the front-line battlefield, this is the speculation of Lao Geng.

If that's really the case, then it's a sad thing for a soldier.

To protect the family and the country in life, and to protect my rivers and mountains in death, that is the most desired value in the hearts of soldiers.

Heroes are always hung on the wall!

The farewell party didn't last long, and all the soldiers of the four platoons of the company prepared programs for Director Wang, which were basically all military songs.

Going around and around is inseparable from "Camel Bell", "Sending Comrades", "Forever Brothers", and "Happy Journey".

The passionate singing may be able to alleviate the bitterness in the heart, and the tears inadvertently shed are the truest portrayal of the military time.

The instructor is leaving, and only Lao Liu will take over the company, and the military and political family will be the family.

Hearing Lao Geng muttering that the birdmen of the company were going to suffer, Zhang Junbao was confused and didn't know what it meant.

After the farewell party, as soon as he walked out of the club, Zhang Junbao received two messages.

The first is that the birdmen who went to the training team have returned, and the birdmen of the training brigade and the signal corps have all returned.

The second is that Director Wang wants to see him.
