When I returned to the barracks and told the soldiers the news of the successful conclusion of the exercise, the whole barracks immediately boiled.

"Long live the Five Battalions!"

"Long live the People's Republic of China!"

"Long live the Communist Party!"

……

The warriors shouted one after another...... To be honest, I can understand that the soldiers will shout "Long live the five battalions", but the next two sentences...... It just makes me a little baffled, our victory in this exercise is not to fight with the Vietnamese devils on the battlefield, why is this shouting the country and the party?

After thinking about it, it quickly became clear that people in this era shouted these words too often, so that shouting too much and shouting for a long time naturally became a habit, so they often got excited and excited...... When I wanted to call something, these two sentences blurted out.

Therefore, this is actually just an expression of their mood at this time, a kind of venting of their eyebrows, and there is not much literal meaning.

"Battalion commander!" The soldiers surrounded one after another: "The division headquarters told you to go...... It must be another difficulty! ”

"Isn't that right?" Zhao Jingping said excitedly: "Then Division Commander Chen is still standing up for his son, and he wants to drag the Red Army to the victorious side!" ”

"Tell me...... How did you finally convince them! ”

"Hey!" Zhao Jingping said: "What is persuasion? That's a lot of rhetoric, it's almost the same as Zhuge Liang's tongue battle group Confucianism! ”

"Really?" Xiao Shi asked stupidly: "Then who won Zuihou?" ”

"You're stupid!" The scholar angrily slapped the small stone: "If we lose, can we still win this exercise?" ”

There was a coax, and the soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you excited about?" I asked the soldiers of the second company a little strangely: "You didn't participate in this exercise, did you?" And before you start...... A large number of comrades reacted that they didn't want to participate, and they all said that they were acting...... weishenme: Now that people have won this honor in a row, are you happy to be like this? ”

"Hi...... Battalion commander! Liang Lianbing replied, "Let's ...... It's called a sense of collective honor, isn't it? The glory of the company is also our glory, not to mention that most of those recruits in the company are our apprentices! ”

Liang Lianbing's words are still true. In order for the recruits to adapt to the real battlefield as soon as possible. Many people in the First Company took the veterans of the Second Company as their mentors and learned from them their combat experience...... These things are not something that can be learned by practicing individual tactics.

"Actually!" Scar said, "We still haven't taken this drill to heart...... But then I learned that the director team was so bullying. We don't have a taste in our hearts, and we can't wait to rush up and sweep them away with guns! ”

"That's it!" The other warriors also nodded:

"The Red Army is too bullying!"

"I can't swallow this breath!"

"It's good that the battalion commander took this breath for us!"

……

Listening to the words of the soldiers, I couldn't help nodding secretly, a unit needs such a spirit of common prosperity and common shame, and only in this way will it be united with the enemy on the battlefield, otherwise if each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, it will only be a plate of scattered sand.

"Battalion commander!" Then the instructor pulled me aside, handed me a cigarette and said, "What's next?" ”

"Keep training!" I said a little strangely, "Then what else can I do?" ”

"Battalion commander!" The instructor let out a long sigh and said, "Have you ever thought about it...... The warriors came down from the battlefield...... I haven't been home yet! ”

"Oh!" That's when I realized that I seemed to have neglected this all this time.

You know, we came down from the front...... That's pretty much the way to pick up a life. Now that I'm finally back, and I've come back from a beautiful battle, it's natural that I want to go home and see it. First, I can meet my family and let my family feel at ease. The other can also glorify the ancestors.

It's because I'm homeless...... That's why I didn't expect my fighters!

Merely......

"Difficult?" The instructor looked at my embarrassed face and said, "The soldiers don't say anything, but I found that many people secretly wiped their tears at night...... It's also time for them to come home and have a look! ”

"Instructor!" I said, "I know all of that...... But ......"

"But what?" The instructor was a little strange: "Is it because the superiors disagree?" You can rest assured about this...... I'll talk to my superiors! ”

"It's not!" I shook my head, in fact...... I believe that if I go to mention this matter to Commander Zhang, Commander Zhang will agree.

"Then you're ......" heard the instructor even more strange.

"Instructor!" I spat out a thick puff of smoke and said, "You don't know that this exercise is a victory...... There are pros and cons......"

"The disadvantage? What's the downside? ”

"You know a little bit about it, Instructor!" I said, "Our synthetic camp is for conservatives." It's to convince them...... If we lose in the exercise, then we don't talk about any reforms. Now it's won...... Then the conservatives will say...... There is still a gap between this exercise and actual combat, and if the exercise is won, the actual combat will not necessarily be won......"

"Oh!" The instructor quickly understood, "You mean to ...... There's a good chance we'll be on the battlefield soon? ”

"Hmm!" I nodded: "Actual combat is definitely required...... And maybe time is running out, you want to ...... If the soldiers were to be put back at this time, it would take a week just to ride in a car in a distant place, and two weeks to go back and forth, and then let them stay at home for a few days...... More than half a month has passed! Training this thing, if you don't practice for more than half a month, it will be much worse in all aspects, and this trip home will be beautiful for a while...... The mentality of returning to this military camp is different again, and it will take at least another half a month of training to recover. This ...... that comes and goes"

The instructor also frowned when he heard this: "I really didn't expect this...... However, if there is a real war, they should be sent home in a hurry! Otherwise......"

Although the instructor didn't say what he said next, I knew what he meant...... Otherwise, if you return to China and don't even go home, it may become an eternal regret.

But what can I do about it? I'm faced with a dilemma.

Let the warriors go home...... That may mean that more fighters will be distracted and die on the battlefield in the future.

Don't let the soldiers go home, this may reduce the casualties of the troops, but those who died ...... It's almost like passing through the door without entering.

In that respect, I really don't like being the battalion commander...... If you are not the battalion commander, you naturally don't have to decide on this kind of headache.

"So be it!" The instructor thought for a moment and said, "We can treat different fighters differently...... The nearest fighters take three days off so that they can stay at home for at least one day and come back to train when the holiday is over. ...... far from home The vacation is longer, and they are also allowed to stay at home for a day and a night and then rush back immediately. This allows the fighters to go home and see it, but also does not affect the training as much as possible...... What do you think? ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, this is an acceptable solution, but if there are only a dozen or twenty people on three days off...... Three days later, only a few dozen people came back from the entire unit, and they couldn't train even if they wanted to!

The plan for the holiday was quickly decided...... It wasn't much of a problem to implement.

The first thing is to call Commander Zhang...... Just as I thought before, Commander Zhang also felt that it was time to take a leave to let the soldiers go home and have a look, so he agreed without much thought.

Zhang Fan, who was originally sorting out documents on the side, heard my conversation with Commander Zhang, so as soon as I put down the microphone, she appeared in front of me and asked a lot of questions: "Going on vacation?" Do you have any vacations? Few days? Have you figured out where to go? ”

Where else can I go? I'd like to go home and see ...... But the family is not in this era!

This immediately made Zhang Fan cheer: "Great! Let's go climb the Great Wall and then go to Tiananmen Square...... Go to the Forbidden City ......"

All right! Although the era is different, these attractions are no different now...... In fact, the modern ones should be even older.

After getting Commander Zhang's approval, it was a matter of sorting out the list...... This problem is not difficult, that is, to find out the place of residence of each soldier, and then find out the time of arrival in the car to the place, and then add another day. It's just that zuihou counts like this...... Only five people were able to return to the base in three days to continue training...... Less than I thought.

There is no way, the traffic conditions in this era are so inconvenient, and some people who live in remote places don't even have roads...... Zuihou thought about it, the longest vacation remained the same, and pushed the shortest vacation back...... It will be extended to five days.

Of course, none of these things need to be done by me, the battalion commander, all I have to do is make a decision.

For example, the staff officer said: "Battalion commander, there are too few people who come back in three days, extend it to five days!" ”

"Yes!"

"The transportation of this comrade's location is not convenient, and it may not be possible to catch it in five days...... Extend the day! ”

"No problem!"

……

Then this fake slip came out, and then I announced the news...... The whole camp was a sensation. There were even quite a few soldiers who asked me with incredulous expressions: "Battalion commander, can you go home?" Can you really go home? ”

"Yes!" I said, "Go home!" With your military medals, with your achievements...... Go back and report to your family and your fathers and fellow villagers. ”

Suddenly the fighters burst into tears, especially the fighters of our second company...... You must know that they are on the battlefield and in the tunnels, looking forward to it day and night, hoping to go home and see. The most torturous thing is ...... This is obviously a return to China, and my hometown and family are close at hand, but I can't go home and walk away.

Right now...... Finally waited for this moment, lived until this moment. (To be continued......)
