Chapter 66: The Taste of Soldiers

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is a very popular saying about a soldier's military quality, or a very intuitive criterion for judging, that is, the taste of soldiers, "stupid soldiers" carry shame and humiliation in very few people's mouths, and in the mouths of more people, it is a kind of recognition and praise full of love.

Pay attention to the image, cherish honor, serve the people, be willing to sacrifice, promote good and punish evil, be fair and upright, be disciplined and noble, adhere to principles and abide by discipline and law, which is the taste of soldiers. Bit by bit instilled bit by bit cultivation, it has become a lifelong brand.

The first source of military flavor is queue training, a movement repeated training countless times, the formation of muscle memory, only to see the effect, with a good appearance of the soldier, pay attention to uniformity, the pursuit of the same pace, have the indomitable spirit of fearlessness, and have the courage and resoluteness of absolute obedience to orders and prohibitions.

Cohort training is monotonous and boring, without a certain amount of perseverance, unable to endure and unable to persevere, complementing each other, unable to endure and unable to persevere, in turn strengthens perseverance, continuous training, continuous perseverance, continuous perseverance, continuous strengthening.

The general provisions stipulate that all military personnel must strictly implement this order, strengthen training in the queue, cultivate a good military posture, a strict military appearance, a strong work style, strict discipline, and coordinated actions, implement the requirements of comprehensively and strictly administering the army, promote the regularization of the army, and consolidate and enhance combat effectiveness.

The importance of queue training can be seen from this, many recruits who have just joined the army do not understand, and some veterans who have been in the army for several years do not understand it deeply enough.

Military posture is the basis of all queue movements, good military posture, legs straight, hips and hips, abdomen and chest, arms straight, forehead and top, body center of gravity slightly leaning forward, the muscles of the whole body should be mobilized, there is a sense of contraction and tension.

Some fighters are strict with themselves, or they are competitive and strong, and their bodies lean forward as much as possible, such as the javelin that will be shot, they are tenacious, grit their teeth and persist, and do not give up until the last moment.

There are also lazy and relaxed, the military uniform is wide, whether the body is strong, the muscles are not tight, it is difficult to judge with the naked eye, the training will bring some compulsory taste, and the squad leader or queue pacesetter who directs the training has methods, these methods have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are very effective.

If you push your legs behind your knees, or push them hard suddenly, your knees will bend if your legs are not straight. The military cap is placed on top of the head in turn, and it can be found if the body is relaxed and easy to shake. Between the legs or between the arms and the body, a piece of paper will fall off once relaxed.

The action of a single soldier in a queue, forming a platoon, and then forming a square team, whether the action is standardized, whether the team is neat, all in daily training.

The methods of inspection include daily assessment, assessment of individual soldiers, assessment of platoons, and assessment of teams. The most important test method is the military parade, the military parade process is composed of two parts, the column and the parade, one movement and one static, the column type of square march in unison and neat, the pace is sonorous and majestic, the parade is collectively paraded, and the military posture is upright and responds like thunder.

Every year the target is shot with live ammunition, the military parade is the highlight, the blade is sharpened in 100 days, and the sword is brightened, and the military quality and morale of the troops are all reflected at this moment.

A company and a square team must have enough people, and the personnel on the shooting range, except for individual logistics soldiers, must join the square team.

Stressing hard practice and skillful practice, facing the eyes of the head of the rostrum, the first row and the head of each row are the most important, and the last row cannot be ignored. The personnel in these positions must be carefully selected, usually trained, and more tightly and strictly required than other positions, and after others rest, they often have to work overtime to "open a small stove".

Although the hardships of training have increased because of this, no one has ever complained, which is valued by the company, is the quality of the top-notch, is the recognition of excellence, and is the glory of youth. Two target shots and two military parades, my position is the first row, maybe the action is not necessarily the most standard, but it is indeed the hardest training in peacetime.

I have a different understanding of queue training, because it can indeed standardize the image and shape the body, which teenager does not have a star dream, who does not want Yushu to be heroic and extraordinary, the figure of the cousin in his childhood as an officer has never dissipated.

Therefore, my queue training is the most active and active, not only during training, but also often consciously cultivated in daily life, the most impressive is standing guard, often deliberately keeping the center of gravity slightly forward, holding the steel gun for two hours without moving.

There are always times when a company cadre leads the team to pass by, and if it is an instructor passing by, he will look at me deeply every time, and there is an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. Maybe I have some ideas that I want to show and stand out, and I want to create a good image of myself.

This kind of effort and understanding may not be the only one, there are a few in the usual training, often compete with them, whether it is standing in a military posture, or the decomposition of the three steps, comparing who stands the longest, who is the most upright, and who shakes the body first.

The parade results of our company are not ideal in my impression, the first time is tied for third place, the second time there is a regression, it seems that we only won sixth place, the biggest problem is that we did not keep up with the rhythm of military music, and the same problem appeared both times.

The military music used in the parade is the military song of the People's Liberation Army, the pace marches, the feet rise and fall to keep up with the rhythm, we call stepping on the drum, the drum instead of the password, completely fit, called stepping on the drum, only to see the pace of neatness, only to see the momentum like a rainbow.

Peacetime training, military music only rhythm, completely by hearing judgment, the real parade, there will be a rhythm of "dongdong" sound, heavy and penetrating, not only easier to hear, but also enhance the parade of the best atmosphere.

If you are more careful, you may find that since the big military parade in '99, the pace of the phalanx has slowed down significantly, because the military music has added a prelude, and the previous military music has been a tense and passionate rhythm of "forward forward forward" at the beginning.

The rhythm is tense and the drums are intensive, and the marching army far exceeds the requirement of 112 steps per minute, and the distance of the walking army through the rostrum in the column square team has completely become the process of chasing the dead drum, the rhythm is too tight, and there are not many square teams that can step to death, so the phenomenon of affecting the formation is more frequent.

Soldiers ask for leave to go out, there are dress and grooming regulations, at that time can not wear civilian clothes, must wear military uniforms, military appearance must be strict, two people in a row, three in a row, military sub-districts have pickets, patrol and check from time to time, usually riding a three-wheeled military motorcycle, wearing a white steel helmet, picket red armbands on the arm, particularly visual impact.

Every time I go out, I am most afraid of encountering pickets, the buttons are not buttoned, the collar flower is slightly crooked, the cockade is a little slanted, and the trouser legs are rolled, they will be found at a glance.

It is a common occurrence to be picketed to the point that the military is not in order, and there are several cases in our company, and the report is not to the company but to the battalion, and it is not the company commander but the battalion commander who picks up people.

In the fourth year of the soldiers, they went out in civilian clothes, and the company turned a blind eye, but other annual soldiers did not have this kind of treatment, so they did not go out much, and only a few times, they were carefully picketed and hidden, but fortunately they were not caught.

Go out to sit on the "308" bus line, the first seat has a seat, but rarely sit, standing has been used to it, occasionally sit down, see the people standing around them, there is a feeling of needles on the back, as if a pair of eyes are staring at themselves, is talking about military uniforms, until standing up, this feeling will disappear.

Typical characters of heroic deeds, as a revolutionary tradition, often appear in political education classes, under the edification, sometimes yearning and impulsive, but during the service, they did not participate in flood fighting and rescue, nor did they participate in emergency relief.

There are only a few times to organize the cleaning of the old Red Army sanatorium next door, the environment is very good, the salary is very high, the revolutionary predecessors, lay down the country, sit and watch the motherland take off, in their old age, they are already national treasures, they are spiritual inheritance, and they will be loved and respected wherever they go.

In my second year as a soldier, the coach was adjusted to a logistics support position, and I began to bring new recruits, a young man from Liaoning, who was selected by me, was very honest, but his understanding was a little worse, and at my request, the weapon theory could be memorized, but the understanding was not enough.

Remembering the hardships of his recruits, he has never been beaten and scolded and corporal punishment, but he is very in awe of me, no matter what he is asked to do, he can be meticulous and serious to execute, perhaps it is this advantage that his training level has also improved rapidly.

When I was in my third year of service, considering that I was about to take the military academy examination, the company arranged for a new recruit to bring to me.

Perhaps my efforts made the company think that I would definitely be admitted to the military academy, so there was such an arrangement, three soldiers in one post, which rarely happened.

However, I don't have full confidence, sometimes I show it in training, inexplicably irritable, at this time, if the two of them are not serious in training, they will also scold and even pick up the command flag on the weapon and beat it, with a slightly arrogant bad habit, it turns out that it also has an impact on themselves, accumulated for a long time, but it did not break out due to restraint.

At the end of the second year, when the 92-year-old soldier was about to retire from the army, once playing billiards in the club, there was a veteran who was about to retire, as usual, after we played a game, he reached over and took the club in my hand, and in this case, he would automatically hand it over.

But I didn't pay that time, he was one of the many veterans who participated in beating me and Xiaohu, not only did he not hand over the provocative grip of the club and looked straight at him, I am the backbone of the technology, live ammunition target to create brilliance, he is just an ordinary soldier, not even a deputy squad leader for four years.

People are about to go, their momentum is also declining, under my gaze, he actually retreated, his eyes revealed a little grievance, as if the identity is reversed, I am a veteran and he is a recruit, dedicating his youth for four years, and the last time to suffer such grievances, may imprint his heart.

Although I was only a second-year soldier, my prestige was already very high at that time, some said that I wanted to make meritorious contributions, some said that I wanted to be a clerk, some said that I wanted to join the party, some said that I wanted to take the military academy examination, and the number of soldiers in the same year was large, and the number of fellow villagers was also large, not to mention the ninety-two soldiers who were about to be discharged from the army, even the ninety-three years soldiers who were about to enter the post of squad leader, and they did not dare to provoke us easily.

The army has never fought, this is the only coercion, and it is also used on veterans who are about to be discharged, in fact, it is also a bad habit that breeds in the life of the army.

There is also real bravery, once I went out, the fellow Fengxin borrowed the fellow, a little thin and short, took the "308" bus, stood as usual, talked and laughed, at this time someone suddenly said that there was a thief in the car.

When the theft was discovered, the thief immediately wanted to run, and the little fellow and I did not hesitate at all, and immediately stopped him, and I reached out and grabbed him by the collar, and this thief, who was about as strong as me, could not break free under this pull.

This little fellow of mine behaved even more bravely, constantly shouting the national curse mantra formed in the life of the army, strangling the thief's neck with both hands, and trying to knock him down with all his might, so that he could show his majesty and be subdued.

But after all, he was too thin and didn't knock the thief down, because he was too hard, his body was suspended in the air, and he hung on the thief's neck, and the thief didn't struggle, but he kicked his legs around, looking very funny, and there were a few young women in the car, and even laughed, without the meaning of ridicule, and could see real concern and approval.

The thief was taken to a nearby police station by us, and we thought that the police would write down our names and troops as in the TV report, so that they could send pennants and praise, but they didn't ask anything, and they were enthusiastic and cold, and we couldn't stay anymore, so we left.

When I returned to the company, I didn't see the owner come to the door to thank me, and there was no search for good things without leaving a name, just like nothing had happened, and I really did a good deed without leaving a name.

There are no typical deeds, no heroic feats, maybe these are all soldiers. Later, on the way back and forth from visiting relatives on vacation, after returning home, he came into contact with the society, and there were several times to resist ugliness, not civilized enough, and slightly frivolous, and participated in two flood fighting and rescue during the military academy, and in order to protect the interests of the masses, a deep hole was drawn in his foot, and he did not take it seriously, and continued to work as usual, sticking to his post to fight floods and rescue people.

After changing jobs, I went to work in the local area, and I was less impulsive and more steady, all with the help of the weapon maintenance of the law, and after taking off my military uniform for many years, if I could hear someone say, "I looked like a soldier", I would already feel satisfied.
