Chapter Eighty-Four: Rushing to the Frontline

After three years of academies, the "ugly" may really leave the cadet corps, and whether it brings the ability to the army still needs to be tested in practice.

The file bag indicated that the report was within three days, counting the time, it was not enough, and gave up the plan to go home halfway, the original brigade of four people in a group, boarded the same train, and went to Zhangzhou to report for duty, the luggage was simple, a backpack and two bags.

The canvas combat readiness bags issued when enlisting in the army are still strong, and they are not willing to throw away a single textbook note, and together with medals and certificates, they are packed into the combat readiness bag.

During the academy, another marching bag was issued, a backpack on both shoulders, which was as strong as a combat readiness bag, lined with a rainproof layer, which was originally used to hold quilts, no matter how fast the backpack was, it was not stuffed fast, and it could also prevent rain and moisture, which was a subtle manifestation of the change in the form of combat, and of course it was also a small progress.

The actual drill has never been used, and I still insist on hitting the backpack, three horizontal and two vertical, shoes on it, a water bottle and a military schoolbag on the shoulder, which are used to hold clothes and daily necessities at this time, as well as some personal favorite items purchased, the backpack volume is not small, stuffed into all the belongings, and there is still room for it.

Non-commissioned officer fellow, after some trouble, really returned to the old army, took another bus to Nanjing, as a weapons maintenance technician, started his military career thereafter, can indeed toss, soon after the army changed to the chief of the department, responsible for logistics, management of food, handy, until retirement from active duty.

Every school is a fork in the road, and so are the colleges, where the cadets carry their files, report to different units according to their whereabouts, and since then they have parted ways, what kind of stories they have written, what achievements they have achieved, what kind of contributions they have made, whether they will spread their wings and fly high, or hover low at altitude, or fall into the dust, which will be left for the years to comment.

The two trainees admitted to the Zhangzhou army are both from Jiangsu, and the two of them did not report directly to the old army according to the assignment of the college, but took the file and the distribution form and went back to their hometown first, but this time, they did not report to their old army, but reported to our old army, and were accepted to serve as officers there since then, growing all the way.

This is what we didn't expect, it turned out that it could be operated like this, and then I heard that this phenomenon is not an exception, it happens from time to time, and I regret it, the file is on me, and the old unit found the former company commander instructor, they are now in the brigade headquarters, and it should be no problem for us to let the old unit receive it.

Loyal to his duties, strive to grow, but ignore the emotional connection management training, during the college, has written to the old instructor many times, reported thoughts, poured out doubts, after he was transferred to the shooting range as the deputy regimental political commissar, the address changed, the communication was interrupted.

We can only blame the backward means of communication at that time, the military line was not available to us, the fixed telephone of the unit could not be found, so we could not contact it, and without a mobile phone, we could only rely on writing letters.

It's not that which unit is good or which is bad, or that it really cares whether it's in the city or the countryside, but more because of that feeling, emotional bond, and sometimes it's also a help, which makes it easier to open up the situation and devote yourself to the rapid development of military reform.

In reality, the train is rushing, carrying us to a new environment, there is an expectation, there is an excitement, and there is a persistence, and the new troops may also be able to do something new.

At that time, Fujian was surrounded by mountains, the Wuyi Mountains were horizontal, there was only one railway, deep mountains passed, accompanied by drilling holes, the speed was slow and often had to stop and wait, give way to each other, the distance was not far, but the time was long.

Since then, Zhangzhou has served, and every year to visit relatives on leave, it has to sit for more than 16 hours, compared with Hangzhou, which served before, Guilin, the distance is not the farthest, but it takes the longest, and it has to change trains once on the way.

Alone, lonely on the journey, often prepare a big bag of snacks, can eat all the way to get off the car, young is good, there is no feeling of support at all, and now I can't do it anymore.

As a coastal province, and there is the earliest establishment of the Xiamen Special Economic Development Zone, may be the most backward railway transportation, it is estimated that it is also a traffic bottleneck with other provinces in the interior to promote the economy and exchange of people and materials, and now this situation has completely changed.

Now the high-speed rail has entered Fujian, and the coastal railway has been repaired, and there is no such bottleneck, and it has truly integrated into the coastal economic circle, becoming one of the leaders of economic development, and also becoming one of the powerful engines to boost the economic development of the mainland.

I remember that the train at that time could not be directly reached, and it was necessary to transfer trains halfway before it could arrive, and the four of us chose to transfer trains in Yingtan, and during the waiting period, we were warmly entertained by my cousin, the eldest son of the eldest uncle, who had visited me when the second company was stationed in training.

When I saw it again, I was no longer a soldier, but an officer who was about to serve in the army, with a cadet badge on my shoulder, and after reporting to the army, I would be awarded the rank of second lieutenant at the end of the year, and in the new environment, I would be treated as a recruit during this time.

As always, the enthusiasm, family affection flows, the cousin's house is on the second floor, there is a flat roof, set up a shelf, plant some fruits, vegetables and flowers, put on the stone table and stone bench, it looks particularly elegant, the petty bourgeois charm is quite strong, here the cousin prepared a table of sumptuous lunch.

Invited his very good colleague to accompany him, two people of the same age, about the same age to get married, the child is the same age, cousin's colleague, with a side three-wheeler as a means of transportation, just sit down a family of three, come together.

Such a life situation, let us look sideways, there is reality in addition to the ideal, the joy of family, the joy of happiness, the ideal is hard work, the reality is life, one day, we will also get married, will such a scene also appear? The reason why I look sideways is because I have such a yearning in my heart.

Starting a family is an ancient topic, starting a family can start a business, which is a tradition that has lasted for thousands of years, so people in ancient times often got married when they were only weak crowns, and even earlier, as early as when they were born, they set up a baby.

Economic development, concept change, until now young people break free from the shackles of tradition, choose to start a business first and then start a family, such as at this time, we may have a love partner, but none of them got married and started a family.

As a soldier, there is also a classic saying, "Why should the Huns be at home if they are not destroyed?" The Xiongnu has become history, the Qin Dynasty went out, the Han Dynasty crusaded, the dynasties and generations worked hard, and now they have been incorporated into the Chinese territory, but the threat and oppression caused by strong enemies and military asymmetry have always existed.

Perhaps this is the direction of our generation's efforts, is the purpose of New China to cultivate us, the "Huns" are still not destroyed, the land is still not returned, not an inch of merit has been established, the cause has not started, this trip to the front line, but also to make contributions, there is a wish in the heart, temporarily put away.

Say goodbye to my cousin, get on the train again, leave Jiangxi, the train begins to drill into the reckless Wuyi, the caves are connected, the canyon is deep, it is difficult to see the people, there is a wide river to accompany it, disappear when crossing the cave, present when leaving the cave, the water surface is deep, entrained with soil, slightly gray and white, churning and tumbling, the surface is calm, and the bottom is hidden turbulent.

In the canyon, the green can be described by accumulation, it is not comparable to the mountains and rivers of the hometown, the eyes are full of green, the surrounding appearance, the trees are long, it is difficult to see the gaps, and the cyan vines are entangled, almost can squeeze out the turquoise water, and the verdant dripping is used here, which is very suitable.

The sky only appears overhead, and it feels like it's being held up on both sides, and you have to lean out of the window and look up to see it.

The mountains are all plains, the seaside style, the hot land in the south, familiar and unfamiliar, just like the bananas and bamboos seen in Guilin, there are more here, the bananas are like the rice in the south of the Yangtze River, tall and block the sight, I don't know how wide, but it stretches all the way.

The bamboo is very distinctive, unlike the bamboo in the hometown, it grows one by one, the bamboo roots penetrate the stone and crack the soil, where it elongates, the bamboo grows to where, and even spreads all over the mountain.

Clusters grow, scattered sporadically, like the old scar grass, a bamboo stalk, squeezed out more than a dozen bamboos, the appearance is similar to the bamboo, the estimated material and use are also similar, but the taste of bamboo shoots is different, slightly bitter, is called bitter bamboo shoots.

The hometown of fruits, live up to the reputation, to Zhangzhou to know the richness of fruits, the taste of sweetness, many are textbooks to understand, market purchase, here for the first time in the real sense of the sense, known as the king of fruit mango, can be used as a medicinal herb of the monk fruit, as well as the nutritious Guiyuan, known as longan, about to ripen, hanging full of branches.

There is also a lychee with a historical aria, "a ride on the red dust concubine smiles, no one knows that it is a lychee", the great poet Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty, arrived in Chang'an through the Huaqing Palace, and felt the current affairs, in order to win the red face, how many bad officials died of exhaustion, how many stagecoaches died, and now "Concubine Smile" has become a brand, representing the best lychee.

Later, he once worked in Fuzhou, which is also called Banyan City, named after the banyan tree, and is also the city tree of Fuzhou, which also appears in the field of vision here.

A banyan tree is a forest, it can really be described as heaven and earth, tall and dense canopy, enveloping a piece of heaven and earth, evergreen in all seasons, never fade, the trunk is thick, around it, from the branches of the tree, grow a root and stem, inserted into the ground, just like a small forest.

The season is suitable, the soil is fertile, making it the most suitable for plant growth, assigned to the company as a platoon leader, there are still vegetable fields, the first time I found that peppers do not need to be planted every year, dead branches are removed, new branches are reborn, and they grow in all seasons.
