Chapter 248: Raising and Lowering the Flag
248
The night was already deep.
But Chen Beiming still didn't fall asleep, lying on the bed and tossing and turning.
"Squad leader, you didn't fall asleep either?" Leng Qing's voice came faintly.
"You weren't asleep either?" Chen Beiming turned over and asked.
The two of them lived in the men's dormitory of the radar station, and there were several soldiers from the radar station who slept in the same room as the two of them, but at this moment, those people were already asleep, and they all snored softly.
Chen Beiming couldn't fall asleep, the first was that it was too cold here, Rao was that his body was strong, and the quilt was thickened, but he still felt cold, and his bones seemed to be frozen.
In addition to the cold, the hum of the radar is also annoying.
Gabala's military radar is not around everyone, but stands on the top of the mountain more than ten meters away from everyone, but in the dead of night, the buzzing sound is still very clear, especially for Chen Beiming, who has a keen hearing, it is even more annoying.
"Today, I learned that being a soldier in the General Political Department is really much much happier." Leng Qing sighed.
"You don't know until now?" Chen Beiming smiled and asked rhetorically.
Leng Qing didn't answer, he was silent for a while, and he suddenly said without warning: "Squad leader, I have decided, I must learn from you well after I go back, and be a literary soldier." ”
Chen Beiming turned his head and glanced at him, although the night was dark, the moonlight shining in from the window still made him see Leng Qing's expression a rough idea, and he could see that Leng Qing was serious.
It's good that Leng Qing can think like this.
After a while, Leng Qing sat up and said, "Squad leader, why don't you ...... Let's go out for a walk? It's so cold! ”
Chen Beiming hesitated for a moment, and then sat up as well: "Okay." ”
The two of them put on thick cotton clothes, wrapped themselves tightly, and then quietly walked out of the dormitory.
"It's cold!"
A gust of wind blew, Leng Qing shivered for a while, and then couldn't help scolding.
Not long after the two of them walked out, someone next to them asked vigilantly, "Who is where?" ”
After a moment, Xue Qing turned out from the side, and when he saw Chen Beiming and Leng Qing, he was stunned: "Why are you?" ”
"Why didn't you sleep?" Leng Qing asked strangely.
But Xue Qing didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”
"I said, why didn't you sleep?" Leng Qing raised his voice a little.
But Xue Qing was still confused.
"They all seem to have hearing loss, and you can be a little louder." Chen Beiming turned his head to Leng Qingdao.
Hearing loss?
Leng Qing's mouth opened wide.
After a moment, he raised his voice: "Comrade Xue Qing, let me ask you, why didn't you sleep either?" ”
This time Xue Qing heard it, and he smiled and replied, "I'm on duty tonight." ”
"Aren't you having a birthday today? What kind of work are you on? Xue Qing asked.
"Birthdays have nothing to do with being on duty." Xue Qing smiled and replied, "Besides, isn't it special to celebrate your birthday by being on duty?" ”
Leng Qing was speechless for a while.
After a moment, Xue Qing asked, "Why didn't you sleep?" Isn't it being argued? ”
"How do you know?" Leng Qing was a little strange.
"Anyone who comes to us will be fired and can't sleep." Xue Qing replied with a smile. After a moment, he waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll show you what is making you so noisy that you can't sleep." ”
When Leng Qing heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait.
But at this moment, there was a creak, and the sound of the door opening came, and when I turned my head, it was Qiu Yujie, who lived in the female soldier's dormitory, who walked out.
Gabala actually didn't have a female soldier's dormitory, but this time Qiu Yujie and others came up, and they urgently vacated a house and posted a few big words on the door for the female soldier's dormitory.
"Wait for me, I want to see it too." Qiu Yujie said as she closed the door.
Seeing Qiu Yujie coming, Leng Qing suddenly became a little unnatural, hesitated, and suddenly covered his stomach: "Ouch, my stomach hurts, squad leader, director, I won't go with you, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
After saying that, he ran over there.
Xue Qing hurriedly shouted: "Wrong, the bathroom is over there!" ”
Leng Qing almost wanted to scold her mother, and muttered a sentence in her mouth, so she had to hold her stomach and run in another direction.
Qiu Yujie glanced at Leng Qing's back, the corners of her lips pulled, and she couldn't help laughing.
Then, she followed Chen Beiming and Xue Qing and walked towards the radar station together.
The closer you get to the radar, the louder the buzzing sound becomes, and when you get to the radar station, you have to deliberately increase the volume when you speak.
The radar of this era is not particularly advanced, and Gabala's radar is the kind that is relatively backward in the Xia Kingdom.
But it is with this backward radar that Gabala's fighters have created a miracle in the world: since the establishment of the radar station, there has never been any safety accident, whether it is civil aviation guidance or military reconnaissance, there has never been a mistake or accident.
But the fighters who served in Gabala, both in hearing and eyesight, almost had problems.
"Comrade Chen Beiming, Director Qiu, do you want to experience it?" Xue Qing asked with a smile.
"Okay." Qiu Yujie was interested, so she sat down in front of a machine, and Xue Qing was next to her to guide the identification of various parameters and patterns, she sat for thirteen minutes, and when she stood up, her body shook and she almost fell, but she was dizzy when she looked at those screens.
"Director Qiu, be careful." Xue Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.
Coming out of the radar station, Chen Beiming walked around Gabala with Qiu Yujie and Xue Qing again, and it was not until two o'clock in the morning that the two returned to the dormitory to rest.
On the second day, when he was in a daze, Chen Beiming heard the sound of the military horn blowing.
"Get up!" As soon as the horn sounded, Chen Beiming immediately sat up reflexively, and next to him, Leng Qing also jumped up and put on his clothes cracklingly.
Getting up, washing, and exercising in the morning, the soldiers of the art troupe and the soldiers of Gabala experienced the life of Gabala's military camp together.
At the end of the morning exercise, the sun rose from the sky, so all the fighters of Gabala gathered on the playground to raise the flag.
Naturally, all the people of the art troupe participated.
There are so many flag-raising ceremonies that everyone has experienced, and Gabala's flag-raising ceremony is nothing special until the flag-raising is over.
Elsewhere, when the flag is raised, the team is disbanded.
But in Gambala, the flag is hoisted and then lowered.
The people of the art troupe were dumbfounded.
Didn't the national flag just go up? Why do you want to lower him again?
At the end of the flag lowering, the company commander looked at the stunned art troupe and explained with a smile: "The wind in Gabala is too strong, and a piece of the national flag will be blown to pieces in two or three days, so we can only raise the flag first, and then quickly lower the national flag for safekeeping." ”
