Chapter 001: The Destined Military Uniform
My name is Qin Jun, I was born in Tianjin, a city in northern China, and I never left the city until I was 18 years old.
When I was 18 years old, I was in my third year of high school, and I was facing what adults call a turning point in my life, the college entrance examination!
In my nineties, whether or not I could get into college was the most important thing in all my peers' families. That's really a child anxious and parents are even more anxious, all mobilize to light lamps and boil oil, carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and not afraid of death, and review all night, just to prevent the child from losing at that damn starting line.
Compared to the tense atmosphere of national preparation before the college entrance examination, I am a special case, no one in my family forced me to study hard, only told me to do my best.
At first, I thought it was because my family was open-minded, but later I realized that I had already been arranged.
My grandfather was an old Red Army soldier who participated in the Long March, and under the influence of my grandfather, my father also joined the army, and stayed for most of his life. In their concept, a good boy should be in the army, so without even asking me, my dad decided to send me into the army as soon as I turned 18.
At that time, I had just finished the class flower in the next class, and I was tired of going in and out every day, and I was surrounded by a group of good brothers who fought and drank together. This kind of free life was living happily, and suddenly I heard my father say that he wanted me to join the army, where would I obey, so I began to play tricks in every way.
But my dad's military style is the same, and I was really stunned when he stared at him. Because I have been beaten by him since I was a child, my father's temper came up, and he greeted me with everything. The most exaggerated thing is that once he really didn't find a good guy, and he ended up biting directly in his mouth, which was completely the strength of the devil during the anti-Japanese war, and now I still have vague tooth marks on my arm.
In this matter, my mom chose to support my dad because her opposition was also invalid. Privately, I heard my mom complain to my dad several times, saying he didn't have to let me join the army. My dad didn't say anything every time, only once, I heard him say helplessly: "I can't bear my son!" ”
Actually, I don't have an aversion to joining the army, the key is to be a soldier in peacetime, I always feel that there is no place for a hero.
I was more interested in a police career than a soldier. But as far as my academic performance is concerned, I just forget it and don't mention it.
Since my father was dictatorial and authoritarian, I simply began to mobilize the masses. Seven aunts and eight aunts, as long as they met, I complained to them about the hardships of being a soldier, and I was reluctant to let my mother and them grow up.
Speaking of emotion, I would like to shed a few male tears. At that time, the necessities that were always in your pocket, in addition to keys and wallets, were eye drops.
As a result, the whole family began to do ideological work for my father, and he knew it with reason and moved with affection. Who knew that my dad gave them a silence is golden, and since then he simply didn't take me to visit relatives.
Seeing that my dad was so stubborn, I was also forced to lose my tricks, and I didn't know what to think at the time, so I actually asked my girlfriend to intercede with my dad.
A seventeen or eighteen girl, sitting in my house and saying to my parents that she is going to be with me in this life, she can't live when I leave, and she cries so much that she can't cry in the rain, you can imagine how dark my parents' faces were at that time.
As a result, I didn't even let the family eat, so I was invited out by my father, and then the old couple interrogated me all night, and I had to explain what happened to the girl, no matter how I explained it, I didn't believe it.
The next day, my dad took me to school, and the school invited the girl's parents to find out about the situation. From that day on, that Banhua saw me like a snake and scorpion.
At that time, I was young and didn't know what feelings were, and I didn't know that being together was just for fun. As a result, on the third day of my separation from Banhua, I heard that she had a new boyfriend.
I didn't have anything, but my buddies insisted on inviting me to drink, saying it was for my soul. Halfway through the meal, I mentioned that my father had to let me be a soldier, and said that in order to confront my father, this is really "losing my wife and breaking the army".
I usually have a lot of bad ideas in our group, and when they see that I can't do anything, they can't come up with any good ideas.
It didn't take long for the college entrance examination to end, and the recruitment work began.
Under my father's arrangement, I signed up, had a physical examination, a political trial, and a series of enlistment procedures. But I was very unlucky, I actually passed every item, and let me go home and wait for the enlistment notice.
It was a foregone conclusion, and I had to accept it, and the night before I left, I got together with these good brothers and had a farewell drink.
Early the next morning, with my parents reluctant to say goodbye, I took a taxi to the train station. Originally, my mother was going to give it to me, but my father insisted on not letting me.
On the southbound train, I arrived at a barracks in Kunming, Yunnan Province, to report for duty. This is the place my dad arranged for me, and he said that since he went out to practice, he would simply go farther. It just so happened that he had an old comrade-in-arms who was a lieutenant colonel here, so he entrusted me to this Uncle Song.
Uncle Song is very easy-going, but after I met him once on the day I enlisted, he didn't show up for a long time.
When I saw Uncle Song for the second time a few years later, he was already a colonel. They said to me when they met, told me to pack my bags and go to another place tomorrow, and gave me an address.
When I went, I learned that it was a local military school, and Uncle Song had won a place for me.
In order not to lose face, I went to the military school very hard, I was excellent in all my subjects, and after graduation, I was assigned to serve in the general staff.
Time flies, and this time has been in the army for ten years. And I also have two bars and one star on my shoulder, and I am a major. At that time, I thought, maybe in this life, I will be a professional soldier.
On this day, I had just finished eating and was about to go back to my dormitory, when suddenly a correspondent came to me and said that there was an order from the military headquarters and asked me to go there immediately. I saw that he was sweating, and while trotting to the military headquarters, I asked him, "What is the matter so urgent?" ”
The communications soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know, but looking at the appearance of the leaders, it seems that there is something urgent." ”
I didn't dare to slack off on the order of the military headquarters, so I hurried up to the command room of the military headquarters and shouted in a loud voice: "Report!" Qin Jun was ordered to report for duty! ”
"Come in!" Uncle Song's voice came from the room.
I pushed the door in, and my heart tightened slightly, and I found that in addition to Uncle Song, there were several other chiefs in the room, who were looking around a local map on the table, and only then did they look up when they heard me come in.
Uncle Song asked me directly: "Have you ever been to the area around Gaoligong Mountain?" How much do you know about the terrain there? ”
Obeying the lake is a well-known scenic spot in the country, located in the northeast of Lushui County, Yunnan Province, deep in the primeval forest of Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve, with an altitude of about 3,000 meters.
With the permission of the chief, I walked to the map, pointed to the terrain above, and said: "Report to the chief, the lake is about 600 kilometers away from our military region, and this area spans five longitude and latitude mountains, all of which are uninhabited primeval forest areas. It is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, and there is plenty of rainfall. Due to the high altitude, according to locals, sometimes louder voices can attract rainfall. ”
I saw that several chiefs nodded silently, and continued: "The terrain here is very complicated, and it is very easy to get lost once you enter the dense forest. Even the well-known scenic spot of Obey the Command Lake must be guided by a guide throughout the whole process in order to return safely. Moreover, there are many wild animals in the forest, and it is still very dangerous at night. ”
I didn't know if I was satisfied with what I said, so I stepped aside and saluted them.
Uncle Song whispered a few words to several leaders, and several leaders nodded slightly, and then Uncle Song walked up to me and said to me: "Now there is a task that I need you to participate in, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Obey the leader's arrangement and ensure the completion of the task!" I replied solemnly.
Uncle Song waved his hand and said to me, "I received a request for help from the local public security bureau and a group of tourists disappeared in the forest on their way to the lake. The local public security department has sent people into the forest to look for them, but due to the limited police force, no missing persons have been found. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Song looked down at his watch and said, "It has been eight days since the passenger disappeared, and because it is close to the China-Myanmar border, the local public security has sent a request for help to our troops." After the study and decision of the superiors, a search and rescue team was organized to cooperate with the local public security department in search and rescue work. Now that you're familiar with the area, go with the search and rescue team and provide some necessary help. ”
"Yes!" I replied immediately.
Uncle Song continued: "The commander of this search and rescue operation is Zhao Jinfu, the company commander, he is the captain, and you are the deputy captain, and they will work together to complete it. Company Commander Zhao knows the specific situation, if there is anything you don't understand, you can go to the company department and ask him. ”
As soon as I heard that Zhao Jinfu was the commander-in-chief, I couldn't help but be secretly happy in my heart, that was my iron buddy, so I smiled and saluted Uncle Song and the leaders, turned around and walked out.
When I was about to go out, Uncle Song called out to me and said, "Let Company Commander Zhao bring a weapon." I was stunned for a moment, and Uncle Song said, "Just in case!" ”
