Xu Ming's younger brother Xu Rong was a half-grown boy who didn't learn or know how to do it before he joined the army. Under the inspiration and teaching of Guo Kaixin, he also put on a military uniform, enlisted in the army, and became a soldier.

Because he joined the army in his hometown, the unit he was assigned to belonged to the Central Plains Military Region and was an antiaircraft artillery unit, and the number in the army was Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment C.

"The mouth of the artillery, the legs of the infantry", Xu Rong heard from Guo Kaixin before he became a soldier that was all about the infantry, Guo Kaiqing's combat bravery was the object of his admiration, and after coming to the artillery regiment, rows and rows of anti-aircraft guns made Xu Rong dumbfounded. Everyone knows that the anti-aircraft artillery is in the rear of the battle, where will there be a chance for him to go into battle and make meritorious contributions, after coming, he will be depressed all day long, but fortunately, he often communicates with Guo Kaixin to relieve his longing.

When he was in the recruit company, Xu Rong didn't touch the cannon, they trained all day long in queues and physical fitness, and occasionally let these recruits touch those old weapons that were so old that they lost their teeth, which made Xu Rong regret joining the army.

Xu Rong's recruit squad leader is an old calf, this person is very good at catering to the psychology of the recruits, as long as he doesn't do too much, he can go there. Xu Rong has always been a warmonger, which comrade-in-arms does not go along with his wishes, he will scold the sky at best, and add his fists and feet at worst, as if he is a "soldier".

Unexpectedly, his approach not only did not get the criticism of the squad leader, but was praised, and made him the deputy squad leader of the class, the happy Xu Rong did not sleep well all night, that night in the dim light of the toilet, he wrote a letter to Guo Kaixin, and told him about himself as the deputy squad leader, he said that he should exercise hard, strive to enter the border to participate in the war, but also like Guo Kaiqing, to achieve a career, their old Xu family in the future "glory of the ancestors" all rely on him.

Although the life of the recruit company is boring and boring, the program Xu Rong found for himself is very exciting. He is a man who loves to move but not to be quiet, and he always encounters Sundays. He will apply to the squad leader, he has increased his practice, the only thing he is not satisfied with is to throw bombs, he always thinks that he is either boring, or his movements are not standardized enough, so he can't throw far.

The squad leader had a headache for Xu Rong, and he called him the deputy squad leader, which also told him to be honest and obedient to management. He was so happy that he immediately agreed.

Looking at the two boxes of trainer bullets, Xu Rong began to throw them, in fact, his movements were really non-standard, and the grenades he threw were also very strong, some of them were more than 30 meters if they were thrown, and if they didn't throw well, they would throw his own body over. But Xu Rong doesn't see it that way, he wants to experience the experience himself, as long as he votes more. Sooner or later, it will be far away. In this way, he threw out box by box, picked up box by box, and threw box by box. Repeatedly, others called him a "fool", and some veterans who looked down on him would also give him an example in front of him. Mockingly sneered at him again.

Xu Rong's bomb dropping has always been a day, and his clothes are washed by the other recruits in the squad in turn. Since Xu Rong became the deputy squad leader of this recruit class, these people were afraid of him. Because Xu Rong's voice was even louder. Not only did they instruct them to clean the indoor and outdoor hygiene every day, but even their clothes and underwear were washed by them.

At first, some people objected to Xu Rong's approach and told the squad leader about it, but the squad leader didn't think so, "Xu Rong is also your comrade-in-arms, comrades-in-arms help each other, this is the glorious tradition of our army, what can I do to help him wash his clothes, this guy is like a cow, the recruits have been in charge for three months, and the gangsters have passed." ”

The squad leader said so, and everyone had nothing to say, Xu Rong's laundry was settled, and the training became even harder. But no matter how hard he tried, the distance of the bomb was still the same, and he didn't know that the squad leader was fooling him, and that he was fed up with this "thorn soldier", and he only hoped that three months would pass earlier, so that he could get rid of this burden.

Xu Rong's running performance is still good, every time he runs in the assessment, Xu Rong is the top few, which is also what he is proud of, what he looks forward to most every day is to "pinch and run five kilometers", but the physical fitness of the recruits is not very good, in order not to increase the intensity for everyone, these recruit squad leaders, all open one eye, close one eye to the past. They are not infantry, and the "mouth of the artillery" has long been ingrained in these veterans.

finally mixed into the recruit company, and Xu Rong was assigned to a battalion and a company. This is a company with a glorious tradition, from the Pingjiang Battle to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this company is distinguished by military achievements, Xu Rong is assigned here, which also shows that his achievements in the recruit company are very good, and he is specially assigned here as a good soldier seedling.

After arriving at the veteran class, Xu Rong's position as deputy squad leader was also cancelled, and the four recruits in the class lived a year-long "happy life". From cleaning the indoor and outdoor "sharing area", to fetching water and food for three meals a day, to "going out on errands" once a few days, plus helping the veterans "pulp and laundry" on Sundays, these are all essential jobs for these four recruits. The veterans in the squad will not do it, because they have all come from the recruit period, and as long as a new recruit comes, they will take over the previous recruit and take over this essential task.

Xu Rong is used to bullying people in the recruit company, and now he is very disgusted by the taste of bullying, he proposed to wash his own clothes, but he was reprimanded by the veterans in the class, saying that he did not understand the rules, and at a class meeting one day, he spoke one by one "helped him." ”

However, Xu Rong still went his own way and did not carry out this "reasonable task", and brought him a "violent beating" from the veterans who were mainly four second-year soldiers, and they wanted to teach Xu Rong a lesson, if they didn't do these jobs, would it be impossible for these people who had just "come over" to continue to do it.

Xu Rong came to the company commander's office with his head covered in blood, reflecting the situation of the veterans beating him. The company commander didn't have time to listen to what he had to say due to his recent relationship failure.

"You go back first, I'll go back and check with your squad leader."

"Company commander, didn't you see it, you see they hit me in the head, it's bleeding, this still needs to be verified."

"If you are told to go out, you will go out, what do you need, I'm so annoying."

"You don't care if the veteran bullies the recruit, I'll go to the battalion commander to sue you."

Xu Rong's words were threatening, but they angered the company commander, and he came to Xu Rong and looked at the new recruit.

"Look at your deflated eggplant, why are they beating you, just one person beating you. If the whole class beats you, you kid should do it, and I want to kick you with just the stupid B you just said. ”

"This is still a unit, whoever wants to fight can fight, there is no heavenly reason, I don't live anymore." As he spoke, Xu Rong banged his head against the window of the company commander's office.

I only heard a loud bang, and the double glazing made Xu Rong smash to pieces, Xu Rong's head was exposed outside the window, and there was even more blood on his face.

The instructor hears a sound. The first time ran into the company commander's room. After seeing Xu Rong's appearance, he was also scared.

"What's going on, look at it, look at it, he's a recruit, and you, as a company commander, why do you make him look like this."

"I'm just talking about him, I didn't know he would be like this."

"Send it to the health team." The instructor and the company commander helped Xu Rong to go to the health team. Because it was a skin injury, there was no major problem, and Xu Rong used his own "efforts" to improve the perception of others about him. They all thought that this soldier was "difficult to bring" and too prickly.

After Xu Rong returned to the squad, the veterans who beat him all apologized to him one by one, obviously ordered by the squad leader. After that, the daily work of the class was placed on the other three recruits. Xu Rong became an "uncle", and he thought that his "hard work" was worth it, which was called "mighty and unyielding".

On the 1 August Army Day, the artillery regiment will hold a "column-style" military parade, and as a battalion and a company, it will naturally be very rigorously organized. This time Xu Rong touched the new gun, which was specially used by the chiefs for review, the bright spear sparkled in the scorching sun, Xu Rong was very excited.

"Column" because the soldiers are tall and short, disrupted the establishment of each squad, according to the size of the arrangement, Xu Rong is medium, the queue is okay, he was arranged in the position next to him, Xu Rong felt very honorable, the most important thing is that the leaders of the review desk can see him as a recruit kicking the right step with "all beards and all tails".

In front of Xu Rong's queue was a three-year veteran, and Xu Rong, who was a recruit at the beginning, still respected him very much. But the veteran has a solid problem, while kicking the right step, the body has to lean back, which brings a lot of trouble to Xu Rong, because the person in front of him leans back, if his foot is kicked straight, he will kick the joints of the person in front of him, if he doesn't want to kick him, he also has to lean back, in order to think about the people behind, Xu Rong has the courage to remind the veteran, and the veteran also knows that he has this problem, and said that he must pay attention to it in the future.

But it still happened, as the company commander and instructor, in order to play well in their own phalanx, they also had to learn from the chiefs, checking back and forth on the review table, and when they saw Xu Rong using the legendary "big leg" because he was afraid of kicking the veterans in front of him, the company commander scolded.

"Hey, Xu Rong, can you kick well, if you don't kick well, go to the cooking class to cook, and someone else will come over."

"Report to the company commander, I can play well."

"Squad leader, the company commander has said me, can you move forward."

"I'll pay attention this time." The veteran was also embarrassed that Xu Rong was scolded, and agreed to pay attention in the future.

When the "column" passed the rostrum again, the veteran was still the same, Xu Rong deliberately straightened his legs and kicked the veteran's joints, the veteran seemed to understand a lot, and subconsciously moved forward, this time Xu Rong did not get scolded.

The next day, the commander of the first company said to the soldiers, "August 1st is coming soon, let's have a practical exercise today, everyone will wipe the military thorns with gun oil, and I will ask the instructor to take pictures of them with a camera. ”

Who didn't want to take a mighty look, Xu Rong had long wanted to take a photo and send it to his brother and Guo Kaixin, he was the first to run to the instructor, begging the instructor to take a good photo of him. When the instructor saw that it was Xu Rong, he was also very happy, because Xu Rong usually did not "hang" the cadres, he was a "leftover person" in the whole company.

A series of "separate columns" began, Xu Rong confidently sorted out his clothes, and reminded the veterans in front of him from time to time, "Squad leader, don't forget to move forward." ”

"Okay, don't forget, you talk too much nonsense, I've been a soldier for three years, this is not as good as you, I also want to take a good picture."

When Xu Rong passed the review stand again, the veteran in front of him was still the same, leaning back vigorously, and Xu Rong reminded him in a low voice, "Squad leader, move forward." ”

But the old soldier looked out as if he had not heard.

At this time, Xu Rong became angry, and looked at the instructor holding the camera with his peripheral vision, he finally couldn't help it, the direction of the spear was originally a 45-degree angle, he deliberately lowered it, and he also leaned out, and the person behind him was also a veteran, he was not as good-tempered as Xu Rong, seeing Xu Rong leaning back vigorously, he kicked Xu Rong's joints hard with his toes. Xu Rong saw that someone was kicking him from behind, so he stabbed forward, and the bayonet pierced the ear of the veteran soldier in front of him, and the blood immediately fell.

At this time, the company commander and instructor immediately ran over, "What's going on, Xu Rong, how did you do it?" ”

"It's not my fault, he kicked me." Xu Rong pointed to the man who kicked him and explained.

"If you don't lean back, I can kick you, and it's not my fault."

There were people from other companies around who were training, and when they saw that something was going on here, they all surrounded them, and they were very passive to the company commander and instructor.

"Express Health Team". The platoon leader shouted, picking up the veteran and heading straight for the health team.

After August Day, Xu Rong did a deep examination in the whole company, but he was very happy in his heart, the veteran's "ears and lips" made him stab, Xu Rong only got a warning, he thought it was still worth it, those who offended him had to die, this was Xu Rong's policy of life before he became a soldier, just like that, Xu Rong became a person in the company who "grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love", the company commander and instructor saw him, his head hurt, this soldier is too skinny, too prickly.

The opportunity to drive Xu Rong away finally came, and the division where the antiaircraft artillery regiment was located had newly established a vegetable base, and people had to be transferred from each regiment. Originally, there was no quota for the first company, but in order to get Xu Rong away, the commander of the first company begged the political commissar for a long time, and finally sent Xu Rong away.

On the day Xu Rong left, no one in the company came to see him off, but from the glass of the windows, Xu Rong saw that there were many people watching him by most of the windows.

"If you don't like to take care of me, I don't like it here anyway, so let's go to the non-staple food base," Xu Rong muttered to himself.

Less than a year after Xu Rong joined the army, he stepped on the truck to the non-staple food base, where his new challenges awaited him. (To be continued......)
