Chapter Ninety-Three: Quiet on the Mountain
The new unit, just above the hill behind the Fuzhou battalion headquarters, and at the foot of the mountain, once brought three months of recruits here. The battalion commander changed again, and it was the company commander who had just been assigned to the fifth company to adapt to life.
The mountain is not very high, except that there is a small road leading to the battalion headquarters, and on the same side there is a combat road, which leads directly to the bottom of the mountain.
The trail usually travels to and from the battalion headquarters to receive documents and war supplies, and sometimes goes down from here for meetings.
The combat readiness highway is used to pull and transfer weapons, and the target shooting with live ammunition should have been accompanied by support, because the whole regiment is starting and is supported by the regimental headquarters, and it has never been there, and only when weapons are sent for repair and maintenance, will they pass through here.
At the foot of the mountain is a village, the economy is active, just to the foot of the mountain on the war road, there is a company, the main product is nourishment products, once into the visit, the boss is generous, once sent a few pairs of slippers they made.
For the first time here, I experienced the village festival, a very distinctive custom in the coastal areas of Fujian, the village held a feast, invited guests and friends, and every company commander had heard of it, but never participated in it.
The lively scene of the village festival is not too clear, only the sumptuous record, a table full of seafood, miserable and white, no condiments, no barbecue, basically eaten raw, looking scary, only tasted a few blood clams that I had seen when I first went to the fourth uncle's house, and the rest of the mouthfuls were not eaten.
Fujian people may be superstitious more than anywhere, almost every village has a Mazu temple, there is also a village under the mountain, the incense is strong on weekdays, close to the foot of the hill on the other side of the hill and built, there is a trail connected to the mountain, the old characteristics are very sufficient, the place is spacious and the environment is good.
The area on the hill is actually quite wide, the barracks are rebuilt on the east side near the camp headquarters, the original position only leaves weapons, relatively higher, the old barracks are abandoned, there is no family room at the two stations, if there are family members to come to the team, they are arranged to live here.
Dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, once the regiment commander came to inspect the work, and met the family of a third-term non-commissioned officer to visit the team at the same time, seeing such hardship, it was decided to rebuild on the spot, and the new family room was rebuilt next to the new barracks.
There are less than 20 people in the two stations, compared with the combat company commander, it seems a little deserted, in front of the barracks is next to a basketball court, which is also a queue training ground, and there is an observation station next to it, the field is not small, wild and overgrown, and the predecessor used to breed.
Fuzhou customs, especially like the old duck, raise it is the duck, dig a pond in the most remote place, there is water and grass, just as a duck farm, the vegetable field is only a few pieces, duck breeding as an effective supplement to carry forward the tradition of hard work and self-reliance.
The predecessor got married in Fuzhou, a native duck, was welcomed, at the end of each year, the station added food, gathered together, visited the co-construction unit and local villagers, the taste was pure, the seafood was raced, and the effect was excellent.
As a support unit, relatively speaking, the management is not as strict as that of a combat company, and according to the needs of combat readiness, some data is provided every day, the training requirements are not high, and the atmosphere of combat readiness is not so tense.
The green of the mountain is very strong, the big banyan trees in the urban area, there is no on the mountain, it is like the hometown, there are a lot of big camphor trees, some of the trees are very old, so thick that a person can not hold it, during the embellishment, add a lot of deep artistic conception.
There are also a lot of other tall miscellaneous trees, some climb the vines that have grown for I don't know how many years, the rattan grows from the ground, hugging the miscellaneous trees, symbiotic coexistence, and there are flowers in spring, where the shade is rich, and the deep valley orchid can often be seen in it.
Far away from the airport, not in the city, not far from Luozhou Town, such as the village market, rare high-rise buildings, unpleasant noise, there seems to be only purity, only pure inaction.
The mood has long been calm, just like the environment here, quiet and indifferent, no longer difficult to make waves, standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, you can see the village, you can see the market town, you can see the red dust rolling, you can see the mountains in the distance, towering into the clouds, cut off the line of sight, interrupt the future.
The military career will come to an end here, the military column has reached the end, I don't want to leave regrets, I still hope that the full stop will be successful, and the last journey will still have to fulfill my duties, undertake the mission, and the soldiers will follow, and I also want to create a good environment and cultivate an excellent team.
Although the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs, as a branch, the requirements of political construction, compared with the combat troops, the standard has not dropped much.
As a kind of exercise, the materials involved are insisted on writing by themselves, giving political lessons to the fighters, spending the most energy, and the education classes twice a week are persevered, the lessons are taught by themselves, and the lesson plans are also prepared by themselves.
The system of the party's life is strictly implemented, the development of party members, and the adherence to democracy are first recommended by the party group, then decided by the branch, and the evaluation is first determined, first recommended by the military committee, and then determined by the team headquarters.
The barracks are newly built, there are rocks standing next to it, hidden among the shrubs, such as Puyu is covered, and it is easy to breed insects and snakes, leading the soldiers to clean up the dead branches and weeds, fighting for a few days, and building a small garden, with big trees in the shade and huge stones to sit on, becoming a good place.
On the side of the road in front of the war, there is a small slope, the predecessors planted some plantains, the original intention may be to beautify the environment, but it is not well managed, domestic garbage accumulates and emits peculiar smells.
It took some time to level it into a small flat land, transplant Taiwanese grass, tile it, put a stone table, put a few stone benches, and relax after dinner, the soldiers can sit here and chat, with a wide field of vision, and have a special interest.
The military training task is not heavy, every afternoon is used for physical training, to avoid boredom, is used in a large number of basketball games, almost every day, every time is to run until you can't run, there are a few who love basketball, according to the NBA stars nicknamed, one of them is called Allen.
I'm not very tall, I'm still the tallest one, breaking through with the ball, rampage, and frequently staging three steps to the blue, not because the fighters can't stop me, but because I have the highest position, with some meaning.
The chief of the secretary is a third-term non-commissioned officer, the shortest, but the most able to jump the most flexible, and the best dribbling skills, it is common for him and Aaron to fly up, holding the ball and smashing the blue frame into the room, they call it buckle blue, shouting each other's names, shouting "buckle one", and the voice seems to be clearly audible now.
Several cadres and third-term non-commissioned officers have already married families, and their families often come to the team, and every time they come, they will blend in, have a dinner and welcome, and disperse happily, time passes, and the age and alcohol consumption increase slightly.
Conscripts are allowed to visit their relatives once, and non-commissioned officers have a vacation once a year, not as tense as a combat company, as long as they apply, they will be approved, and every time a soldier returns from vacation, he has a large bag and a small bag, with hometown specialties, everyone has a share, whenever this time, this soldier will be like the stars holding the moon, surrounded by everyone.
Looking at such a scene, the mood was only a little turbulent at this time, and the past was full of memories, the shooting range airport, the company academy, weapons and equipment, training and combat, and the footsteps and wheels, how could it be so easy to forget.
The teenager was conscripted into the barracks, and his ears and temples were grinding like relatives.
Youth has no regrets and sprinkles blood, and brothers come out of the big pot of rice.
The smoke is gradually extinguished, and the people are gradually returning, and there is no murderous atmosphere on the banks of the fields and rivers.
Holding the old cow's teeth and biting the ears, the food at home is tasteless.
Hurry up with the return journey from farming, boil more eggs and pancakes.
There was a queue at the door of the barracks, and the generals returned from visiting relatives.
Soon after taking office, his fellow villagers arrived, and he was assigned to the 7th Company, where I used to be the deputy company commander, as the acting instructor, and I was the acting company commander in the 5th Company, and he was still the deputy instructor.
When the military arrived at the station, the stage fright seemed to have disappeared a lot, and once I participated in the democratic life meeting of the battalion party committee, I was a member of the committee, and my fellow villagers were not yet members because they were acting instructors, but they were also asked to participate as observers.
At the meeting, as a party member, he criticized the battalion commander and instructors, unlike other committee members, who spoke with some scruples, saw something real, and his fellow villagers looked sideways, and later mentioned it many times, saying that I dared to say so.
The acting instructor of the same township, whose fate was roughly similar to mine, did not succeed in taking over as the instructor of this combat company, and soon returned to Zhangzhou, where he was appointed as an instructor at the military training institute not far from the Fifth Company, although he was also a logistics support unit, responsible for the repair and maintenance of the weapons and equipment of the whole regiment, which was much more important than my position.
In the first year of his tenure, a deputy regiment commander who had been transferred to another job sent his only son to the battalion headquarters of our regiment and the recruit company at the bottom, and at the end of the recruit company, he was finally assigned to our station.
The deputy regiment commander came on a special trip to plan his son's future and want to grow up as an officer here.
At this time, the proportion of military students recruited by the army has been greatly reduced, and when I took the military academy examination, a regiment might be able to recruit more than 20 people, but now there are only one or two places, and they will also have to be sent to the military headquarters to participate in the unified examination together with the soldiers of the whole army.
In the past, only meritorious service could give extra points, but now as long as he really serves as a squad leader, he can also get extra points, and this is the purpose of this deputy regiment commander's special trip.
The former chiefs were very popular and had a high evaluation, and the battalion and regiment leaders all came to express their concern and advice to me, perhaps many of them were once his subordinates and were cared for and cared for.
The popularity is very good, and it is also a kind of ability, the same age and the same military background, the new company commander of the Eighth Company, the situation is almost exactly the same as mine, others have no opinions, in the words of a chief, there is no one who does not say that he is good.
This made me wonder if my acting company commander was unable to give orders because he was overage, or because there were other reasons, because in my judgment, his military qualities were not as good as mine.
But this is just wishful thinking and feeling good about oneself, and other people, including the head of the regiment, may not have such an evaluation, and perhaps only the evaluation of the political commissar at the monthly ideological form analysis meeting of the regiment party committee is the answer, and he said that with me, nothing will happen to this unit.
Returning to the inaugural speech when I was the platoon commander of the first company, I only have a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility, which has always been my persistence, and perhaps this is my only advantage.
The former chief, although he had never worked with me, was still a comrade-in-arms, and his only son, after contact, was indeed honest, and did not have the superior pampering of the family, but had the blood of a soldier, and he was in front of everything, competing for the first place in everything, showing that he was particularly sensible, especially able to endure hardships, and especially required to be motivated.
After convincing others, he was appointed squad leader in his first year as a soldier, and with the first bonus condition, he was specially transferred to other companies when shooting live ammunition and participated in a live exercise.
At the end of the year, he persuaded everyone to apply for a third-class meritorious service, and in consideration of the soldiers' emotions, he proposed to increase the number of third-class meritorious service, which was also allowed.
This third-class meritorious service has brought some unpeace, and the number of logistics support units is very small, and unless there is a special contribution, it is generally impossible to have a meritorious service quota, and they do not participate in live ammunition shooting.
There was a third-term non-commissioned officer, so he was moved, knowing that he was elected by voting, privately wooing the soldiers, making a promise, and really being elected, he didn't care at the time, and when he was about to report according to the vote, another third-term non-commissioned officer showed dissatisfaction, put forward opinions, and told the truth.
I was disgusted by this, and after confirming it, I decided to report it with the second highest number of votes, and the hope of this third-term non-commissioned officer for meritorious service was in vain, so I listed several charges and reported them to my superiors.
The regiment headquarters attached great importance to it and specially arranged for a deputy political commissar to lead a team to investigate, but fortunately, he was quite good, but after the investigation, it was purely nothing, and after the incident, the third-term non-commissioned officer was transferred to the regiment headquarters organ.
The compulsory military system is two-year, and in the second year, the only son of the former regiment leader was selected to be sent to the military headquarters to participate in the centralized review, and finally participated in the unified examination.
