Chapter 115 Sending comrades-in-arms, silently and tearfully

As the date of discharge approached, the soldiers, the days spent in the army, really entered the countdown. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The night before yesterday, the team held a party to send veterans, and all the veterans who were facing discharge watched the party.

As the platoon commander in charge of the veterans' work, Yang Wenbin also went to watch.

He felt that the party was relatively successful and full of the atmosphere of sending veterans.

There are choruses, soloists, sketches, cross talk, counting treasures, etc., singing the praises of veterans and silently dedicating. dedication to the barracks, love the army and so on. It is full of veterans' attachment to the barracks and their love for the barracks.

There are not only the deeds of the soldiers who drilled to win, practiced to win, and worked to win, but also the heroic deeds of the soldiers who practiced hard in the ice and snow, and completed major tasks such as the construction of optical cables.

In addition, the glorious deeds of the soldiers who overcame the difficulties of their families and continued to serve in the army.

After watching this party, Yang Wenbin was very educated and moved.

Yesterday, all the soldiers booked their tickets, and their luggage was packed and mailed away, leaving only an old military uniform and a small box made by the team for the soldiers, with the words "XXXXXX troop veterans retired" printed on it.

Starting this morning, the time for veterans to leave the team has officially begun.

When the soldiers left the team, those who were facing discharge, ate the last bowl of dumplings in the company's cooking class, carried their bags, wore saffron on their chests, and left the company step by step, a place where they spent 1,0095 days and nights.

The veterans who stayed in the team formed a line in front of the dormitory building to see off the veterans.

Before leaving, every veteran hugged and said goodbye to his comrades, and they were reluctant to give up, with tears in their eyes.

At this time, the radio in the regiment played the song "Send Comrades":

"Send your comrades-in-arms and embark on a journey.

Silent two tears,

Camel bells ringing in my ears.

The road is long and foggy.

Revolutionary careers often break up,

The same is the same, two feelings.

Comrades-in-arms,

Dear Brothers,

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

Take care along the way.

Send your comrades and embark on a journey.

There is a long way to go, and there are many hardships,

Sprinkle the camel bells all the way.

Mountains and mountains are stacked, and water is crisscrossed.

Against the wind and against the water, ambition is there,

Live up to the people's nurturing feelings.

Comrades-in-arms,

Dear Brothers,

Wait until the spring breeze spreads good news,

We'll meet again.

Comrades-in-arms,

Dear Brothers,

Wait until the spring breeze spreads good news,

We'll meet again. ”

With the sadness of parting, the veterans hugged their comrades and bid farewell to the company.

Each company can only send veterans to the assembly ground of the main battalion.

The veterans of each company, under the leadership of the company cadres in charge of the veterans' work of the company, came to the regimental club to assemble and wait to get on the bus.

In front of the regimental club, for each train, there is a cadre who is responsible for the safety of the fighters in this direction.

The buses that sent the train were lined up in front of the door, waiting for the veterans to review.

Then, the military band in the regiment played the send-off song.

The rhythm of "My Old Squad Leader" sounded soothingly:

"My old squad leader, how are you doing now?

My old squad leader, will you still think of me?

It's been a long time since I've heard from you, and I'll miss you from time to time,

You said you like to hear me play guitar and sing songs from our barracks.

My old squad leader, I always remember your words,

My old squad leader, thank you for giving me strength.

When it gets dark, I won't be scared anymore, and I won't shed tears no matter how bitter I am.

I've become a real man, and now I'm a class leader.

Has your hometown changed over the years?

Have your wishes come true all these years?

Didn't you also leave your own home,

Whether to go to the south and create new ideals.

Have you married all these years?

Sister-in-law, what does she look like?

Can you send me a wedding photo of the two of you?

Let me wish you a long love as a husband and wife.

My old squad leader, smoke another cigarette from your hometown,

My old squad leader, I really want to follow you again,

I'm going to make up another song for you, play your favorite guitar,

When we meet again, we will sing together.

Lalala......"

Yang Wenbin followed the convoy with the minibus of the soldiers of the company and came to the railway station.

In order to do a good job in sending veterans, Yingcheng Railway Station specially vacated half of the seats in the waiting room for sending veterans.

In the veterans' waiting area, comrades, silently, waited for that last moment.

The fighters took off their ranks, wore big red flowers, and were neatly dressed in old winter clothes. Everyone still looks so spirited and mighty.

At this time, nearly ten minutes before entering the station and getting on the train, the leaders of the division and regiment walked in from outside the railway station.

Division commander, walk in the front.

He entered the waiting room and shook hands with the veterans in the front row one by one, expressing his feelings of farewell.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and say hello to your parents on my behalf."

The division commander and the soldiers were polite, holding hands, and their eyes were full of reluctance.

At this time, an old squad leader ran to the veterans and shouted: "Comrades, how about singing the "Song of the 226th Division" at the end? Listen to me!

With his rhythm, impassioned singing erupted from everyone's mouths.

"Our battle flag is red and flat,

The fury of revenge burns in the Taihang Mountain,

Advance to Henan, Anhui and Suzhou,

Sweeping the day and being stubborn,

War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,

Makes you more colorful.

Our battle flag waved on the banks of the Songjiang River,

The wind swept across the Bac Ninh line,

Fierce battle in Tianjin City,

Triumph in Central and South China,

The smoke of the war of liberation makes you more colorful.

Our battle flag is planted on the top of the clouds,

The earth-shaking thunder shook the 38th parallel,

Breaking through the Imjin River,

Defend Maleang Mountain,

The baptism of the Korean War makes you more brilliant.

Oh, the battle flag ushers in the spring of the motherland,

Guarding the magnificent rivers and mountains,

Mechanizers of our heroes,

Let you fly high,

Always forward! ”

In the majestic song, I remembered the sweet voice of the train attendant: "Comrades passengers, starting from Ben Thanh and passing through this station, the 1214th train bound for the capital is about to enter the station, please hurry up and check in and get on the train." Passengers, the 1214th train to the capital is about to enter the station after passing through this station, please hurry up and check in on the train......"

After hearing the announcement, the fighters began to check their tickets and enter the station.

On the platform of the station, cadres at all levels, battalion commanders, instructors, company commanders, instructors, and platoon commanders who are responsible for the work of sending the station stand in a column on the platform.

After the soldiers got on the train, the train started slowly with the flute blaring.

"Salute!" With a command, the division commander, the political commissar, and the leaders of the regiments sent the veterans raised their right hands.

A solemn military salute was given to the soldiers who had contributed to the troops.

With tears in their eyes, the soldiers waved desperately to the chief and his comrades through the window glass of the train and said goodbye.

And so on and so forth, three trains were sent in the morning and four in the afternoon.

At ten o'clock in the evening, with the last team of veterans, they were put on the car, put on the train, and left the team, and the work of sending the veterans was successfully over.
