Hearing that the regiment commander will also take off this military uniform, Sun Jiashu was stunned, he is now the commander of the 3235 Regiment, if he becomes the commander of the 3235 Brigade, within ten years, he can enter the house and become a general that everyone envies, how can he easily take off this military uniform?

Seeing Sun Jiashu's regretful look, the regiment commander said meaningfully: "I have been wearing this military uniform for more than 20 years, and I am really a little unaccustomed to taking it off now, but when the country needs me to wear it, I will be duty-bound, but now is the time for me to take off my military uniform." ”

"Everyone knows that becoming the commander of the 3235th Regiment is equivalent to taking the fast bus to the road to the general, and the previous regiment commanders have all walked up step by step along the steps of the deputy division commander, division commander, and chief of staff of the army, how can you give up now?" Sun Jiashu said regretfully.

"I have been dreaming of being a general since the day I became a soldier, and with the support of this belief, I started from an ordinary soldier and worked my way up to my current position. Even now, I am not reconciled, but, when personal interests and national interests conflict, personal interests must absolutely be subordinated to national interests, according to the long term, it is natural for me to be the brigade commander, but several deputy division commanders in the division, chief of staff, and several regiment commanders are staring at this position, there are more wolves and less meat, there must be a fight, most of them are higher than my level, and those who are at the same level as me are younger than me. My physical condition is getting worse day by day, I still retreat bravely, I believe this: the soldiers who came out of the 3235th Regiment are heroes who stand up to the sky everywhere. The regiment commander said.

"Regiment commander, I will always remember what you said, the soldiers who came out of the 3235th Regiment are heroes everywhere, I know what to do, regiment commander, goodbye." Sun Jiashu said goodbye to the regiment commander, and he walked out of the headquarters building with a sense of relief.

After returning from the regiment commander, Sun Jiashu felt suddenly enlightened, and the knots in his heart that had been twisted for a few days were untied, the regiment commander, you have given up all the good opportunities, what else can he not give up? Sun Jiashu quickly adjusted his mentality and returned to work with a new attitude.

In a few days, the regiment will announce the list of veterans, the whole regiment is panicked, the training ground has also lost its former vitality, many companies can't even go out of the exercise, if the 3235 regiment is reduced to a battalion, an artillery company like the second artillery company, when the time comes, the whole company will be disbanded, you think, a battalion has five companies, the superiors will give priority to those companies with honorable titles, like the first battalion of the Red Army company and the third company with the first boat to cross the river for thousands of miles, the second battalion of sharpshooters four companies and the hard-headed six companies, The 3rd Battalion's Iron 7th Company and Steel 8th Company, etc., these are companies with glorious traditions, and the leaders will give priority to them in order to keep their numbers, and the honorary titles of these companies are obtained in the War of Liberation and the War of Resistance Against Japan. The machine gun company and artillery company did not have many honorary titles because they were established relatively late, and they only faced the fate of being disbanded. You said that at this time, who can calm down? The company commander is running for his job after he has changed jobs, and now the work in the company is almost paralyzed, but Sun Jiashu still leads the whole platoon to conduct normal classes, which makes several other platoon commanders in the company have opinions about him, and even the soldiers in the platoon have opinions about him.

Sun Jiashu led the whole platoon of soldiers back from training, and today was just in time for the "Gun Polishing Day", all the artillery of the whole company was moved out, and a unified wipe test was to be carried out, and the new artillery was about to be equipped with troops, and these artillery pieces, like the fate of many veterans, would also be eliminated, and their fate might be even worse, and they would eventually be thrown into the steelmaking furnace and turned into a puddle of molten iron. Therefore, the company demanded that the artillery must be carefully wiped down and oiled more, after all, they have also made great contributions to the national defense of the motherland.

In addition to the recruits, the veterans may all be discharged, and today may be the last time to wipe the artillery, in the past, things like the wiping of the cannon were done by the recruits, but today it happened to be the other way around, the veterans took over all the work of wiping the artillery, the recruits could only stand aside and watch, the artillery was broken down one by one, the veterans carefully wiped every part of the artillery, these artillery that accompanied them for several years were like their own brothers, this time, I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again in the future.

Sun Jiashu watched the veterans wipe the guns, and a sense of desolation arose, many veterans have just been here for a year, and they should be discharged before they have enjoyed themselves, who will be happy at this time? It's just a smile on his face, and it's also pretended, and he has been smiling helplessly. Sun Jiashu found that there was one less soldier in the platoon, where did the squad leader go? Usually, whether it is training or working, he is the most active? A recruit said that he seemed to see a squad leader walking in the direction of the shooting range, he must have been hiding in the shooting range alone to vent, if it is looking for a small Guangdong, go to the pigsty, if it is looking for a squad leader, go to the shooting range, this is the experience summed up by Sun Jiashu, this time the first in the list of veterans is Li Xiwa's name, he has struggled for seven years, and in the end he still has to return to the starting point, do you think he will feel good now?

The sunset reflected half of the sky, Sun Jiashu came to the shooting range along the asphalt road, the facilities here are even a grass and a tree he is very familiar with, the training equipment in the shooting range is installed by him and his comrades, and the independent building, he and his comrades-in-arms built brick by brick, standing in the center of the shooting range, Sun Jiashu rose infinite emotion in his chest. He said silently in the direction of his hometown: "Father, mother, my son has lived up to your hopes, he has not become an officer that you are proud of, and he is still an ordinary soldier, you won't mind, right?" But you believe that no matter what your son does, your son will always be the best, and you can rest assured that your son will eventually become one of the officers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. ”

At this time, there was a "woo" sound nearby, like the sound of the wind blowing on a telephone pole, and like the aggrieved cry of a woman in her hometown after being beaten by her husband, the whole shooting range was empty, and no one could be seen, so it couldn't be a ghost, right? Sun Jiashu looked around, the sound should have come from the independent building, he walked over gently, the independent building has no doors and windows, they are all rough square frames, and the edges of the doors and windows have been polished by the soldiers. Sun Jiashu was lying in the corner of the wall and peeking secretly, he saw a squad leader crying there with a headache, in Sun Jiashu's eyes, Li Xiwa is a tough guy, for so many years, he has never seen him shed tears, what happened to him today? Could it be that something happened at home? He first stayed away from the independent building, and then coughed dryly twice, so that Li Xiwa had enough time to wipe her tears and avoid an embarrassing situation, and then he pretended to be okay and slowly approached the independent building, and when he saw Li Xiwa, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "First squad leader, why are you here?" ”

Li Xiwa said with a smile: "It's okay to go around here, it's time to retire from the army, I'm a little reluctant, think about the past few years of being a soldier, I came over like this, I was a soldier for 7 years and I still have nothing in the end, I just hate myself for being uneducated, and when I have a son in the future, I will definitely let him learn culture and come back to be a soldier." ”

Sun Jiashu asked strangely: "Didn't the regiment already approve your transfer to a non-commissioned officer?" ”

"Alas, the regiment was approved, but as soon as the materials arrived in the division, they caught up with this disarmament, and there is only one non-commissioned officer quota in a regiment, and my conditions are not the hardest."

"Who said that your conditions are not the hardest, someone must have gone through the back door, why don't you go to find the head of the regiment?"

"It's useless, the regiment commander said, people are enough to do it, my conditions are definitely not as good as others, just go, like me, I have no culture and no expertise, even if I am a soldier for a few more years, I won't do anything. It's nothing that I'm gone, it's just that Xiaofang has been bitter and has waited for me for so many years in vain. If I was discharged from the army, Xiaofang's parents would never let her go with me. In fact, even if I can take Xiaofang away, I can't watch her suffer in that remote mountain village. Li Xiwa said with a sad look on her face.

Sun Jiashu remembered what the regiment commander said to him that day, he must have given the first squad leader the place, he began to fight fiercely in his heart, he was a first-class hero of the country, and returned to the local country to arrange work, and Li Xiwa was different, his family lived in a poor mountainous area, and he could only go to herd sheep after being discharged from the army, so that the two lovers could only be separated by one side, without further ado, how affectionate and righteous Li Xiwa was, he was willing to do anything for his lover, and he did not give up after seven years of suffering. Li Xiwa can find ways to stay in the army for the sake of his lover, why can't he leave the army for the sake of green leaves? It must be reported to the regiment commander immediately, he is willing to retire from the army and return the quota to Li Xiwa. Thinking of this, he said to Li Xiwa: "First squad leader, don't worry, I heard that the quota is vacant again, and it's still yours." ”

"Platoon commander, you are all a cadre, why are you still gloating like this? Don't tease me, there is no such good thing in the world. Li Xiwa said in disbelief.

"Really, I just came back from the regimental commander, who told me personally." Sun Jiashu said.

"Did the regimental commander tell you personally?" Li Xiwa showed a smile of surprise on her face: "If the head of the regiment said it himself, there would be no fake." ”

"Squad leader, hurry up and tell the big pigtail about this."

"Isn't today the day of the cannons? I went to tell him after wiping the gun, the platoon commander, I wiped the gun, and I couldn't wipe it when I was late. After Li Xiwa finished speaking, she ran in the direction of the company.

Seeing Li Xiwa running away, Sun Jiashu turned in another direction, and in this direction he could see the headquarters building.
