250. Battlefield Soldiers

According to the arrangements made by the director's department, the actual combat phase of the exercise has basically come to an end; this exercise has enabled the troops to carry out a fiery exercise in a state of actual combat, and has achieved the goal of demonstrating the country's strength and deterring international anti-China forces. Second, the country's new-type strategic weapons have passed the troop test and will be fully equipped with the Second Artillery Corps, so that international hostile forces will no longer dare to covet China's sacred territory. Third, the special forces played a key role in the exercise, and the next step will be to further expand the strength of the special operations forces. It can be said that the exercise of the Northern Sword Campaign was an unprecedented success. The director's department ordered all the participating troops to rest in place for a day, and according to the usual practice, the top commander of the troops also had to inspect the participating troops, and conduct an unprecedented large-scale battlefield in this desert Gobi.

The sky is bright, the soldiers of the cooking squad have already prepared the meal, the staple food is rice, the dish is scrambled eggs, this meal is limited, because the time of the battlefield is more than two hours, during this period of time is not allowed to urinate, even water can not drink more. The other soldiers also got up early, because they had to participate in the parade, the officers and men made an exception to wash their faces on this day, and in the past few days, their faces have either been coated with a layer of camouflage oil, or their faces are gray, and even drinking water has become a problem, let alone washing their faces.

Just after 7 o'clock in the morning, all units have already stood in formation at their designated positions one after another; whether it is the Red Army or the Blue Army, the officers and men are all dressed in camouflage uniforms, wearing steel helmets and hats, and wearing armed belts around their waists, and each battalion of the 100,000-strong army is a square formation, forming a "great wall of steel" several kilometers long from south to north; tanks are rumbling, planes are hovering overhead, missiles are lying proudly on launchers, and artillery is pointing its head high into the sky......

The weather in Inner Mongolia is like this every day, with blue skies and white clouds, clear skies, don't think there will be rainy weather. Just after October, when I was still wearing a shirt at home, but in the morning I stood on this desolate Gobi Desert and shivered with cold, as if I had entered the winter in advance, everyone was looking forward to the sun rising soon, because as soon as the sun came out, the weather was warm, everyone stood cold one by one, and finally looked forward to the sun, only to see the red sun like a big orange disc hanging in the east, radiating ten thousand rays of light in the clouds, everyone felt that the sun at this time was still cold and cold, without a trace of warmth, and the heart was looking forward to it, the sun, hurry up, I saw the sun climbing little by little, the light slowly began to have a temperature, and the red sunlight reflected on the officers and soldiers, warm.

At 8 o'clock, before the chief began to review, the officers and men stood upright one by one, waiting patiently, at this time, lukewarm, the breeze was blowing on their faces, the air was clean and fresh, and this taste should be much stronger than the taste of running with weapons on their shoulders.

At 9 o'clock, the chief had not yet appeared, the officers and soldiers stood and stood sweating, their feet were rubble, the sun shone, the temperature rose rapidly, everyone could see that the dew on the leaves of the grass was slowly evaporating, and the entire Gobi Desert looked foggy.

At 10 o'clock, there was no movement on the top, why didn't it start? The officers and men were a little out of breath, as the temperature continued to rise, the officers and men began to sweat, the whole body was itchy and unbearable, like thousands of ants crawling, the temperature was still below zero when they came, most of the officers and men were wearing cotton clothes, the temperature is now nearly 40 degrees, the ground temperature is even higher, it is estimated to be above 60 degrees, the officers and men are wearing cotton clothes at this time as if they were in the middle of summer, the taste can be imagined, and it has become a luxury to be able to take off the cotton clothes. However, not a single person from the general to the private moved around, and this was a matter of the image of the PLA, and I heard that this exercise had terrified the US authorities. Relying on advanced military satellites, they were always tracking and filming the entire process of the exercise. The "Voice of America" radio station also carried an auspicious and detailed report on the troops, numbers, and marching route of our army in this exercise. As a matter of fact, we are open to the public in this exercise, and many new killer weapons have been unveiled one after another, with the intention of letting the Yankees see the strength of our army and extinguish their arrogance.

At half past 10 o'clock, the temperature continued to rise, and there was no sign of starting the parade, and the officers and men had been standing under the sun for more than three hours. It seems that the superior commander intends to test the endurance of the troops. Now, the officers and men are not only hot, but also very thirsty, when they came they were afraid to urinate, they did not dare to drink water, and now the moisture on their bodies has turned into sweat and soaked into the cotton clothes, and it is conceivable how thirsty the officers and soldiers are, and the kettle is hung on their waists, but no one has touched it, everyone is silently praying, hurry up and start the review.

Time passed minute by minute, the temperature was still rising little by little, the sun was like a fire, the grass under the feet was wilted, a few kilograms of steel helmet was pressed on the head like a boulder, the surface of the steel helmet was hot, at least seventy degrees, the temperature below can be imagined, the body is like a steel needle piercing, sweat has already soaked the back, even if it is to untie the wind and discipline buckle has become a luxury. There are already a few soldiers who can't hold on, most of them are recruits or logistics soldiers, these soldiers usually lack exercise, their physical fitness is relatively poor, some soldiers' bodies begin to shake involuntarily, swaying, suddenly fall to the ground, no one dares to pull, I heard that the Yankees' military satellites can even shoot the slight changes in the facial expressions of the soldiers, and now they would rather fall than retreat, that is not only a matter of military discipline, but more importantly, the dignity of the motherland, the honor of soldiers, this is a test of will, It's a challenge to the limits of life.

The temperature is still rising, there are soldiers who continue to fall to the ground, some fallen soldiers foam at the mouth, and the comrades-in-arms around them see that the most they can see is to block the poisonous sun rays for them, for the dignity of the country, I'm sorry, when will the review start? The officers and soldiers are looking forward to it.

……

Finally, there was a little movement in the south of the queue, and only the microphone of the director's department could be heard echoing on the Gobi Desert: "Please ask the cadres of the participating units at and above the division and brigade level to take the horses and tie their belts to the rostrum." "It looks like the supreme chief has arrived, and this is time to lecture senior officers.

Half an hour later, an exciting news came from the rostrum: The vice chairman of the Central Military Commission will come to inspect the troops, and he has witnessed the entire process of the exercise, which has a major impact on the actual combat results of the exercise. Everyone suddenly didn't feel hot anymore, and they all wanted to see what the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission looked like.

The vice chairman of the Central Military Commission has finally begun to inspect the troops, but this time the commander is inspecting the troops on foot, and it is hard to imagine how long it will take for an old man in his 60s or 70 years old to inspect the troops on foot, and he must not fall down before the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission arrives......

The approaching troops have already begun to be reviewed, and the slogans are shouting earth-shattering, Sun Jiashu and Zhang Ershun are standing in front of the queue, next to the regiment commander, and they are in the best mental state to meet the leader's review. I heard that the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission wanted to see with his own eyes the three officers and soldiers who performed most prominently in this exercise, and the director deliberately arranged for the three of them to stand together, and the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission had already begun to walk towards this side, and slowly walked into the field of vision of Sun Jiashu's eyes, and the stars were shining golden under the sunlight, and there was definitely not only one general, but at least more than ten generals.

The regiment commander whispered to Sun Jiashu: "The general who walks in the front is the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, followed by the commander of the military region, and then the general who is behind is the director of the General Armament Department, and the lieutenant generals behind are the deputy commander of the military region, the chief of staff of the military region, the commander of the R army, and the major general is the commander of the H army. ”

"Regiment commander, this is the general I have seen the most, and the vice chairman of the Military Commission is the biggest official I have ever seen, I am so excited." Sun Jiashu said.

"Don't get excited, they're coming." The regimental commander whispered.

"Yes." Sun Jiashu deliberately straightened his body.

"Take a break, stand upright, salute," the regiment commander gave a command, breaking the dull atmosphere, and the officers and men of the regiment raised their guns and saluted, their eyes fixed on the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and saluted as the generals moved.

The vice chairman of the Military Commission strode to the center of the 3235 regiment quadripartite, he was tall, with gray temples and a kind smile, and he kept waving to the officers and soldiers, followed by all the generals.

"Hello comradesβ€”" the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission began to greet.

"Chief-long-good." The officers and soldiers replied in unison.

"Comrades have worked hard!" The greetings were like a cool spring, which suddenly poured the officers and soldiers into a cold heart, and no matter how great the grievances were, there was no trace at this time.

"Serve the people! Serve! ”

The vice chairman of the Central Military Commission looked carefully in the queue with his eyes, and the commander of the military region knew what the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission was looking at, so he shouted: "Wang Wenxuan, Zhang Ershun, Sun Jiashu, you three come here." ”

"Here." With three loud answers, Wang Wenxuan led Sun Jiashu and Zhang Ershun to run in front of the vice chairman of the Military Commission, and then stood up and saluted: "Comrade Chief, Wang Wenxuan, commander of the 3235th Regiment of the 102nd Division of the R Group Army, Sun Jiashu, squad leader of the Second Artillery Company, and Private Zhang Ershun are here to report, please instruct." ”

The vice chairman of the Central Military Commission smiled and patted Wang Wenxuan on the shoulder and said: "The radio wave code you created was almost fooled by me, and you are the greatest contributor to this exercise." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I will make persistent efforts and make new achievements." Wang Wenxuan replied loudly.

"Okay." The vice chairman of the Central Military Commission turned to Sun Jiashu and said: "This squad leader is not simple, he is not timid in the face of a big war, he has effective command, he has the quality of a special operations officer, does he have the confidence to become the king of soldiers?" ”

"Yes, I will definitely live up to the trust of the chief." Sun Jiashu replied.

"It's not easy to be a soldier." The vice chairman of the Military Commission began to evaluate Zhang Ershun: "I took the rank of general in the army, sniped three generals one after another, and created a miracle of war. ”

"Thank you, chief, I'll do a good job." Zhang Ershun said.

The vice chairman of the Military Commission said to the whole regiment: "The 3235 regiment is one of the best teams in our army, do you know what the slogan of the 3235 regiment is? ”

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win. Use me in the first battle, use me to win! ”

The resounding cry echoed in the sky above the desert Gobi, echoing and reverberating......
