The company commander grasped military training, including queue training and physical training, the requirements were almost harsh, and the discipline was particularly strict.

Compared with training, there is not much time for political education classes, which are generally arranged on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and later when they go down to the old company, the time arranged for political education classes is basically the morning of these two days.

When it rains, I can't train outdoors, and sometimes I go to class, but I take a regular class, and the platoon commanders usually organize learning. In addition to learning the regulations, the old company also has military theory, which is generally arranged on rainy days.

The content of the lecture is prepared by the instructor, and there may not be many recruits who can listen to it, but they will take notes carefully, because in the end, a political study examination will be organized, which determines the performance of the recruit company.

However, the recruits like to take political education classes the most, and the instructors are generally pleasant-looking in class, rarely reprimanding people, let alone beating and scolding and corporal punishment, and will not suddenly engage in emergency gatherings.

Training is much harder, queue action is a special requirement of the troops, determines the image of sitting, standing and lying and running, standing and resting and straddling, sitting down and squatting and standing up, running in unison, each has rules and regulations, individuals must be, the whole team action must be uniform, each must be repeatedly trained, in order to meet the requirements.

The most difficult thing to adhere to is that a decomposition action remains unchanged for a long time, and some people often faint because of their poor physique, especially in military posture, often standing for two or three hours, standing until the end of the legs are unconscious, straight and upright can not bend.

When I first came into contact with queue movements, I often made jokes, and I usually walked normally, but when I trained, there was a "crutch", that is, the legs and hands on the same side, forward or backward at the same time, which looked particularly funny.

There is also physical training, not only there are but also a lot of times, but the content is single, there is no equipment and the like, only running, the troops are called marching, and the emergency assembly is connected together, after the backpack is laid, run out of the barracks, run to the scenic spot, the farthest time can run around the West Lake, to run for several hours.

The emergency assembly should have originated during the Anti-Japanese War, or perhaps even earlier, when the order was received to assemble urgently, in the shortest possible time, all the supplies, both personal and combat-ready, were all organized, and they were carried to transfer positions to avoid pursuit or attack on the enemy.

In order to achieve the fastest goal, the emergency collection and sorting of materials has formed a set of fixed patterns, and in peacetime, it is necessary to place goods and equipment according to the requirements and maintain the equipment, which the troops call combat readiness.

If you don't bring equipment, only personal belongings, are mainly quilts, tied with special ropes, the most convenient and firm method is three horizontal and two vertical, back shoes, pillows inside, shoulder bags and kettles on both shoulders, shoulder bags and toiletries, tea jars with towels tied on the shoulder bag belt.

This process is called "playing backpacks", the recruit company has no contact with the equipment, so the emergency assembly, also known as "playing backpacks", when the company or platoon is organized, it is issued an emergency assembly password, and the squad organization is issued is the "backpack" password, sometimes the veteran looks at you unpleasantly, and says "hit the backpack" to you, you have to honestly complete the drill.

Time determines victory or defeat, and this is the experience of the Red Army running out of the footboard at the beginning of the founding of the people's army, persisting in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, winning the three-year War of Liberation, and repelling the foreign troops that invaded Vietnam and Korea.

It is common to hear the company commander standing in front of the urgently assembled team, making a brief mobilization with an imaginary enemy situation, and then giving the order to set off to a predetermined area.

The company attaches great importance to it, and the squad platoon also attaches importance to it, and because the squad leader joins his personal preferences, during the recruit company, emergency gatherings are as frequent and casual as a daily routine. The terrifying continuous short "tick-tick" whistle, accompanied by the last "emergency assembly" command, became our nightmare, sounding during the day, at night, during breaks, during training, during meals, and even on the first day of the new year.

The troops generally use the whistle to issue assembly orders, the object of different whistles is different, one long is a prompt, and the back is often a password, such as "get up", "open food", "go to class", "clean up", "tidy up housekeeping" and so on, one long and one short is the squad leader assembly, one long and two short is the whole assembly, and the continuous short is specifically referring to the "emergency assembly".

"Backpacking" also has requirements for dressing, from the inside to the outside is an inner shirt, a fleece jacket (pants), a cotton jacket (pants), and a winter training uniform.

Because it is connected with physical training, every emergency assembly has to be a long-distance march, can not walk must run, the quality of the backpack is very critical, some people pay too much attention to speed or panic, run to the middle of the road often dispersed, dispersed, is not allowed to help others, and is not allowed to stop to tidy up, can only hold the quilt and things to run with them, is tired and uncomfortable, but also made fun of other recruits, extremely shy, as a lesson.

I can't remember how many times the recruit company has carried out emergency gatherings, how many times I have hit backpacks, and the most impressive thing is the night view of the West Lake, because there are more arrangements for emergency gatherings at night, whether it is a squad organization or a company organization, they all like to run around the West Lake.

The West Lake under the moonlight is really "three altars reflecting the moon" and "broken bridge remnant snow", which makes people linger and revel, but such intoxication is often fleeting, because they are too tired to run, and they can't stop to watch, only when the class is organized, the squad leader is on a whim, or when he is happy, he will be specially allowed to stop and rest, and then he can appreciate and appreciate.

Jiangnan and winter, it is really cold and biting, the temperature is lower at night, running and running with sweat on the face and body, take off the towel on the shoulder bag to wipe, the towel is soaked in sweat, and after a while, it will be blown into ice by the cold wind, and the hard one seems to break as soon as it breaks.

When his face was full of sweat again, he had to pick up a towel to wipe his sweat, and the hot sweat of youth melted the towel, and he was able to wring out the water, twist the water a few times, wipe it a few times, and hang it on the satchel again, and soon it froze into ice cubes.

Perhaps this has always been the requirement, even if it is sweating heavily, the military appearance must be strictly ordered, the trouser legs cannot be rolled up, the buttons of the clothes cannot be opened, the sweat slowly soaks the clothes, and then the quilt is soaked through the clothes.

After the run, unpack the backpack and rest, it is also to be checked, you must take off the remaining underwear and underwear to lie down and sleep, the underwear and underwear are already soaked and close to the body, get into the thin and wet quilt, and cover the same soaked coat on the body in order according to the requirements, and you can fall asleep after a while.

Never catch a cold, don't even sneeze a sneeze, I have to say that youth is capital, under such a strong physical consumption, it is very fast to fall asleep, but never dream, in most cases, only to fall asleep, and the sharp "emergency assembly" whistle will sound again.

The "backpacking" organized by the class, because of the sentimentality of the class leader, had no choice but to bring some comedy to the fatigue.

I don't know if I'm really in love, or in unrequited love, during the period of taking us, the squad leader is always out of love, and once we fall out of love, we will be backpacked and run, and after running, let us sit in a circle, and accompany him to sing the song "Radio in the Midnight" that he has sung I don't know how many times, sharing the "pain" of his broken love.

Young men and girls of this age are the most admired "life is pure and precious, love is more valuable", do not talk about material conditions, have similar feelings, and can abandon everything.

Living in the barracks for a long time, being in a foreign country, catharsis from afar, lack of comfort, especially missing relatives and especially missing the "she" in the heart, who does not have a "her" in their hearts, "she" may be real, may be illusory, may be affectionate, may be unintentional, but this can not stop the thoughts, flooding like a tide, flowing in the heart.

Some people will write letters to express, some people are willing to spend a meager allowance to make long-distance calls, Hangzhou has a developed economy, the streets and alleys have installed a lot of magnetic card telephones, no matter how much heartfelt words, no matter how deep the outpouring, are not afraid of being listened to.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and to maintain order, the army stipulates that no love can be done in the station, but it is not forbidden outside the station.

Outside the station, in addition to their hometown, where can they miss, the soldiers are proud to have a girlfriend, often talk about intoxication, depicted carefully, I don't know whether it is true or false, I don't know if it is a real personal experience, or a fictional fantasy, sometimes I will take out a photo, smile and watch the comrades scramble, the photo is often carefully cropped, put into the wallet, sit idle before sleeping, will concentrate on savoring it.

I have also had such an impulse, letter after letter, snowflakes flying, few replies, but never tired of it, maybe it has caused damage, and it can no longer be repaired, and after many years, we will meet and become a wordless passing.
