Chapter 4 The squad leader "pinched" me
This is where the life of a recruit begins. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info veterans are afraid of the number, and recruits are afraid of the whistle. Every day, the two ears should be erected at all times, and when the whistle sounds, it means that something is going to happen, either the company gathers, or the watchman arranges the work, and if you miss it, you will not be able to keep up with the beat, and you will face the risk of being killed.
The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to run downstairs and shout the password together with the whole platoon. The squad leader is really well-trained, and he can't always catch up with their speed, and they are always the first to stand in the team, and the special platoon attendant, which is called a god speed. As soon as the squad leader's password sounds, even if he is late, those who enter the team again must shout a report and be allowed to enter the ranks. In the morning, it takes 10 minutes from getting up to exercising, 3 minutes to get up, 3 minutes to shout orders, 3 minutes to eliminate urine and urine, and 1 minute to report to the company commander as a whole team. Therefore, in order not to be late for the assembly, many new comrades mostly get up early and clear the "alarm" in advance. In order to train everyone, this situation is expressly forbidden by the company, but it is always forbidden. Everyone loves face, not being criticized and not losing face is the king, and the regulations have long been put in the back of their minds.
The first two months were mainly cohort training and political education, interspersed with physical training and memorization. On this day, it was the New Year of the lunar calendar, and as usual, the platoon leader of the recruit platoon Liao took us to the basketball court again - this is our queue training area during the day.
Zhang Qing, straighten your waist. How many times have you said that! "The third squad leader began to make requests, and he led the troops very strictly. When he organized the training, everyone was still a little scared. Everyone called him Ah Bao, a 92-year-old soldier, who was a rare Cantonese with a relatively large temper. As a squad leader, sometimes it's really hard to bring a soldier without a little temper. When he organized training, there were relatively few small movements in the queue, and only a handful dared to shout reports.
Zhang Qing, a fellow villager of mine, is from the city, and he is usually used to being free and does not pay much attention to grooming. He is about 1.75 meters tall, and he is also capable, but his back is a little hunched. The first thing to train in the queue training is to stand, and not being able to straighten his back has become his biggest problem, and it has also become the object of the third squad leader's main training. Even so, the entire recruit period failed to straighten his waist. When I saw him again many years later, in addition to being fat and blessed, he was still the same energy. Now running his own shop in the city, it is also as he wished back then: being a soldier is just a part of his life, and he still wants to do something on his own. It can be seen that he has more experience in life, and there is a lot more old and stable aura on his face. It is a testament to the saying that maybe dreams are not just for the sake of being realized, but there is one thing that reminds us from afar that we can work hard and become better people. Everyone decides what their life looks like through their own efforts.
After an hour of training, the squad leader blew the whistle and asked everyone to rest in place.
"Liu Xuqian, Liu Zhanyou...... A letter came from home. "Today is the second squad leader on duty, he is smiling and reading the name of the person who has believed.
"Come, line up, I'll see who sent it, if there is a girlfriend who sent it?" In a barracks full of men, letters from women tend to stimulate the hormones in everyone's body. The second squad leader held a stack of letters, and asked everyone to line up while searching.
"Come, 10 push-ups per person first. Don't be lazy. "After the boring training, it has become everyone's way of happiness. Those who have letters are happy, even if they do push-ups. At this time of the day, it has become a time for everyone to look forward to letters, read letters, communicate, and exchange, some new comrades-in-arms have several letters a day, and some new comrades-in-arms have not had a letter for a long time. Through these letters, a lot of important information was also conveyed to the squad leaders, which became an important method and channel for the squad leaders to observe us, understand us, and do ideological work for us. Our letters, sentences, mouthfuls of food, and actions were silently remembered by the squad leaders. They became brothers and bosom friends in our lives.
"Comrade Liu, did you write this letter from your girlfriend, look at the font so delicate." The second squad leader tried to open the letter while talking, but Liu Zhan's comrades were eccentric and neat, and snatched the letter and looked at it beautifully.
"Letter from girlfriend, do 10 more push-ups." The comrades-in-arms next to him were very envious, and as soon as the second squad leader's words fell, everyone applauded in unison and said, "Good, good!" "That's it, life as a recruit is both monotonous and interesting.
"Boiler Wang, start training." When the second squad leader heard the platoon commander's order, he immediately picked up the whistle and blew it, "beep", and the next training session began.
The second squad leader is actually called Guo Riwang, and the southerners call people quickly, so they become "boiler wang". At first, we didn't know how to write his name, and we were embarrassed to ask, but we always heard everyone call him "Boiler Wang", and we all thought it was funny next to us, why did someone call him this name? He was a 93-year soldier, and because of his good training quality, he became the backbone of the squad leader at the end of the second year. He also has a lot of fun with everyone, and sometimes we like to joke with him.
"Now let's start training to take off the hat and put on the hat." Squad leader Qin's Mandarin has a strong Guangxi flavor.
"Take your hat off." After shouting the password, he checked them one by one, walked up to me, touched my wrist, and gently pinched the third joint of the middle finger of my left hand, "Remember?" The squad leader asked sharply. Remembered. I answered immediately.
As soon as the squad leader pinched it, I knew where the fault was. The essentials of the action when taking off the hat in a standing position are: pinch the brim or both sides of the front end of the hat with both hands, take off the hat, take a shortcut and place it on the left forearm, the cockade is facing forward, the palm is up, the four fingers hold the brim or the center of the front end of the hat wall, the forearm is slightly horizontal, and the right hand is down. If you want this action to look good, the key is that the back of the hand should be flat, the first two joints of the four fingers should be grasped, and the third joint should not move, and it is easy to make a half-clenched fist if you are not careful. The squad leader pinched, and I made corrections in an instant. This is the squad leader's most "fierce" action against me, I still remember it vividly, as soon as I heard the action of taking off my hat, the picture of the squad leader correcting my movements immediately appeared in front of me. Squad leader Qin is a 92-year-old soldier, Guangxi Wu Naruto, is the squad leader who impressed me the most after I entered the camp, his words and deeds have become an example for me to learn, and he has also become the first mentor in my military career, maybe he himself did not feel it.
This "pinch" shows the squad leader's pursuit of details; This "pinching" shows that the rigorous style of soldiers is precisely the truth cultivated in this kind of strict and meticulous training; This "pinch" made me feel how happy it is to have someone to correct your mistakes in time in life.
