Chapter 167: Military Parade (2)

The parade soon began.

In fact, I was a little confused throughout the parade, and I didn't remember anything until the end. The only thing that left a slight impression on me was when the chief boarded the brand-new convertible and drove slowly to the three armies, and then replied to us:

"Hello comrades!"

"Hello Chief!"

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

Actually, this is not surprising, because I am too insignificant as a small soldier on the parade ground, and I do what I usually do: stand in a military posture, kick the right step, etc., and at this time there is only one thing in my mind, that is, do not make any mistakes, so as not to drag my troops back.

This kind of psychological pressure is felt even by those of us who have been on the battlefield...... I always thought that we were not afraid of the machine guns and artillery of the Yue devils on the battlefield, so walking in the rear can still scare us?!

But the reality is that it's a little scary.

The word "frightened" may not be appropriate, because at this time we are not afraid, but worried, worried about disgrace for our troops, for our army, and even for our country.

The reason is simple, because this military parade is the first time we have resumed a normal military parade.

In the past, it was from the founding of the People's Republic of China in 49 to the 59th year, and a military parade was held every year on the National Day. Needless to say, the purpose of this military parade is similar to that of a military exercise, which is to show the military strength, military appearance, and determination to defend the country internally and externally, so as to increase the confidence of the people in their own army and country, and to deter them externally.

However, the parade was cancelled after '59. Until today, that is, 81 years. For the first time in decades, the parade resumed. Moreover, it is a military parade in such an international situation of relatively tense situation, and if anything goes wrong, it will be a global shame!

So this became another kind of "fear", that is, the "fear" of the honor of the troops, and this "fear" also gave me considerable pressure, and I didn't see clearly which leaders were on the stage during the whole parade, including walking under the rostrum.

Later, I learned that a total of 53 teams were organized for this military parade, and we were honored to be one of these 53 teams.

The whole parade lasted more than two hours, and I felt that the time passed in a flash like two minutes.

At first, I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but when I came back and asked the other fighters, I realized that many of them were like me. Everyone focused on the formation and military posture, but they didn't even see what the decoration of the parade ground was.

This also made me and my soldiers look blank when other soldiers heard that we had participated in the military parade and asked this and that with envy.

Liang Lianbing replied like this: "We just cared about walking right, and we didn't see anything!" ”

In fact, we can't blame us, we are all standing still, our eyes can't turn, and we have to keep our eyes open so hard that we can't blink, so where can we see what tank team, missile team or something behind us, and even the helicopter team and fighter team flying in the sky at the end are only heard and not seen.

But we don't regret it...... I don't see it. But I have personally participated in it, and this feeling is naturally different. It's like a dancer performing on stage. But I can't see that the highlights of my show are the same.

Perhaps because they were so nervous during the parade that the soldiers who returned to the barracks that night couldn't sleep, they were all discussing what happened on the parade ground.

But even as mentioned before, most of the topics discussed are related to military posture:

"Mother! When we got on the field, a bug flew into my face and went down the collar and down the neck! ”

"Did you move?"

"How dare you move? So many people are watching! ”

"It's said that there are even movies, and there are still foreigners watching them!"

"Oh, why didn't I see that?"

"How dare you aim at your eyes?"

……

Listening to these conversations, I couldn't help but smile, for the first time, the hot topic of conversation among the fighters was not related to war.

A few days later, the troops withdrew from Zhangjiakou one by one.

Since we have successfully completed the task of cooperating with the Airborne Forces, we have withdrawn directly to the base in Beijing and are no longer the base of the Airborne Forces.

The airborne troops didn't even know that our withdrawal was a separation, and they thought that they would still train with our composite battalion after they went back, so there was no separation as before.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, Xu Jun and Commander Wu obviously got the news, so they rushed to our camp to bid farewell to us.

"Take care!" Head Wu shook my hand and said, "I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!" ”

"Take care!" I said, "I hope that the next time we work together will be to destroy the enemy together on the battlefield!" ”

Regiment Commander Wu smiled knowingly, I knew that this was actually his wish, the reason why he would go to the Airborne Forces was that he thought that he would have more opportunities to go to the battlefield here, but who would have thought that because the Airborne Forces were a "special unit", there would be fewer fighters.

"Battalion Commander Yang, thank you!" Commander Xu shook my hand heavily and said: "Because of you and your synthetic battalion, our airborne troops have completed the reform and made a big step forward towards the modernization of the troops, which is also the reason why we can perform so well in this exercise." Sometimes it's really hard for me to imagine what this exercise would have been like if your synthetic battalion hadn't come to the Airborne Forces to train with us, and if it hadn't been for Battalion Commander Yang's cooperation! ”

"The commander is serious!" I replied: "In fact, this is still relying on the strength of the Airborne Forces themselves, and on my behalf to all the officers and men of the Airborne Forces!" ”

"Good!" Commander Xu shook my hand again.

So we just left the Airborne Forces...... That's how you are a soldier, sometimes the separation is so simple, it's so unexpected, it's so sudden.

Zhangjiakou is not far from Beijing, and since some of our cadres flew in the sky by helicopter, we arrived at the base in less than an hour. (The straight-line distance between Zhangjiakou and Beijing is 150 kilometers, and the cruising speed of the Zhiwu is 170 kilometers)

Needless to say, the first thing to do when I arrived at the base was to go to Commander Zhang's to report as usual.

But I also think there's nothing to say this time, this exercise Commander Zhang himself is a member of the director team, isn't it? So I naturally know everything about the exercise, so I don't need to talk about it at all. So I just walked to Commander Zhang's first as usual.

"Hmm!" Seeing me walk into the office, Commander Zhang just nodded, and looked at the information in his hand expressionlessly.

I thought that Commander Zhang would be in a good mood because of the success of this exercise and military parade, but I didn't expect it to be this expression.

After a long time, Commander Zhang took off his glasses and said: "An incident happened before the parade, because it is confidential, so you may not know it yet!" ”

"Hmm, what's the matter?" I asked.

The reason why I asked this is because I knew that Commander Zhang was going to sue me, otherwise...... We soldiers should ask less.

"A Taiwanese Air Force major has revolted!" Commander Zhang said: "He drove Taiwan's latest American F-5F plane through the Taiwan Strait and landed at Fuzhou Airport!" ”

"That's a good thing!" I couldn't help but feel even more strange when I heard this, this thing can also make Commander Zhang put on such a stinky face?!

"A good thing indeed!" Commander Zhang nodded: "It's just that this process has also exposed some of our problems!" ”

"What's the problem?" I sensitively feel that these problems are the reasons that affect Commander Zhang's mood.

"This major has a planned uprising!" Commander Zhang rubbed his temples and said with a frown: "His plan is to avoid Taiwan's radar at an ultra-low altitude in the first half of the period, and then quickly increase the altitude when approaching the mainland. As a result, a point of light representing him is immediately displayed on the screen of the continental radar...... His intention was to attract the attention of our Air Force, so that the group of fighters on duty in the air would go to warn him. At this time, he can make a non-hostile gesture, and then be escorted by mainland fighters to the designated airport! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

It should be said that this major is very careful in his thinking, and he must know that the uprising is also a high-risk job, because this fighter plane is an enemy plane...... If they recklessly fly all the way over, they will either be detected by the radar of the Taiwan side and intercepted by them, or they will be misunderstood by our military as having a hostile action by the enemy plane and will make an overreaction to it.

So this plan is still very necessary, but I know that it will definitely not be so smooth here.

Sure enough, then I heard Commander Zhang say: "This is no problem, but ...... This F-5F fighter is like entering a no-man's land, and there is no group of fighters of our army to warn at all! ”

"Hmm, how can this be?" I couldn't help but be surprised by this following: "Didn't our army's radar detect it?" ”

"Found it!" Commander Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "But I didn't think it was an enemy plane, and I didn't react as it should." As a result, this Taiwanese major was embarrassed, because he was worried that what was waiting for him in front would be surface-to-air missiles, so he turned around and went around the sea again, and only attracted attention when he entered the airspace of our army again! ”

I couldn't help but gasp when I heard this, this situation doesn't seem like a big deal, but think about it...... If the airspace of our army is guarded in such a situation, does that mean that the enemy's fighter planes can come in at any time, even with bombs or something, to take a stroll?! (To be continued......)
