Chapter 344: The Long Wait

Being a soldier is hard, but it's worth it, but now soldiers are becoming more and more unable to endure hardship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not only the soldiers, but also the ordinary people can no longer endure the poverty they used to live in as they become richer.

After the exercise, I was called to the interrogation room by the head of the command for questioning, everything I did was carried out with severe acquiescence, but an unknown fate awaited me.

After a hearty lunch, I lay down in bed and rested at half-past four in the afternoon when I was woken by a sentry outside the door, and a guard took me back to the interrogation room.

Across from me was the old chief and the young officer, and I closed my eyes and saw that there were more people behind the wall watching the surveillance.

"Comrade Xiao Yuan, after repeated study by our headquarters, it has been decided that you carried prohibited items in violation of regulations in this anti-terrorism exercise, and there is a reason for this, so the command will not pursue it, but you will be dismissed from the right to participate in the next exercise, you must stay in the reception room of the headquarters and not leave without authorization, if there is anything that can be reflected to us through the sentry at the door, do you have any opinion?"

I hurriedly asked, "Can my personal belongings be returned to me, and how long will I be detained?" ”

The young officer reiterated: "This is not a detention, because we have a second round of exercises, and it is not suitable for you to stay here, but we cannot let you return to the army station early, so we can only ask you to stay in the room first, but we can provide you with pen and paper." ”

I had no choice but to agree, and the other party handed me back the revolver and mobile phone, and finally took out the conch shell and returned it to me, saying, "What are you carrying this conch for?" And what is this black stone? Do your class leaders allow you to wear them? ”

"Of course not!" sternly said: "After Comrade Xiao Yuan joined the company, his personal belongings, including his mobile phone, have been confiscated by me, and this black jade and this conch are also the first time I have seen it. ”

He sent me back to my room and told me, "You can wait in your room with peace of mind, and if you are really bored, write something to commemorate your precious youth!" ”

I nodded in response, and he turned away.

During the days of my detention, I slept except for eating and going to the toilet, and my mobile phone signal was completely denied here, even the ghost signal was blocked, and my soul could only wander in this bomb shelter after leaving my body, so I sneaked into the headquarters and observed the situation of the exercise from the countless surveillance graphics on the entire wall.

Instead of a surveillance screen, there was a map and countless dots on the map, and I gradually understood that each dot represented a fighter in the exercise.

In the second round of exercises, each side has 64 members, the positive side is shown with a red dot, and the opposite side is displayed with a black dot, the brightness of the dot represents their health value, if they are injured, they will flash rapidly, if the dot disappears, it means that the soldier has been "sacrificed", and it is necessary to send search and rescue team members to rescue.

From the conversations with these people in the command, I learned that the number of people on both sides in the second round of the exercise had nearly doubled compared to the first round, and that Yan Yan, Xiao Ma and Xiao Mo had all recovered from their injuries and re-participated in the second round of the exercise, but this time they played the "opposite side".

In the second round of exercises, the fighters on both sides had experience, so there was often a stalemate between each other, and it took two or three days at a time.

I was bored of waiting, so I started writing something with pen and paper on the table in my room, initially a few poems, and I tried to remember what happened before I joined the work, but I couldn't remember anything.

After three days, I couldn't take it anymore and asked the sentry at the door to let me go.

The other party flatly refused, so I asked to call, and he told me to wait. On the fourth day, I was allowed to make phone calls to my family, but under the supervision of an officer, and only for an hour.

My mother told me on the other end of the phone that my sister and Pan Gui were going to return to Wuhan and were now meeting with Officer Zheng Xiumin in the city.

Hung up the phone, I hurriedly dialed Zheng Xiumin's mobile phone, she and Xiao Shao were entertaining Pan Gui and my sister, so there was some noise inside, she said to me: "You hurry up and dial Fu Xiaowan's phone, your baby daughter is starting to make trouble again, when I am done, I will go to the army to visit you, or you come back to visit us!" ”

Zheng Xiumin hung up the phone, I was a little lost, but when I looked at my watch, there were still more than ten minutes left before an hour, and I was busy dialing Fu Xiaowan's mobile phone number.

It was still very noisy on the other end of the phone, and I heard the fierce conversation of several women, Fu Xiaowan took the phone to the balcony and said to me, "Xiao Yuan, are you still practicing now?" ”

I replied, "My exercise has ended, and now I am waiting for the second round of exercise to end, how are you doing now, is Le Ran okay?" ”

Fu Xiaowan said that the guests at home were all former relatives and friends, and they needed her to entertain them.

"Please forgive me for not letting Le Ran talk to you, otherwise it will definitely scare my relatives and friends, but you can leave a message for her, my mobile phone has a call and message function, I have turned it on now, you say! After you finish speaking, you can just hang up, I'll get busy first! ”

I thought quickly, and then I told Le Ran on the other end of the phone that she should listen to her mother obediently, and I would be able to go back to meet them soon.

As for how fast is "soon"? I'm also not sure of the exact time.

After hanging up, the guard took back the phone and said to me, "Are you married?" ”

I said I had no comment, and the other party left in a huff.

On the seventh day of the exercise, I learned from conversations with the command that their rations were only five days' old, but they had already begun to hunt wild yaks and wild horses to satisfy their hunger.

On the tenth day of the exercise, the two sides continued to send death squad members to invade each other's territory alone, and then detonate the explosives on their bodies.

It stands to reason that the opposing side plays the role of "terrorist" and is better at this, but don't forget that the positive side was originally converted from "terrorist", and they also like to use "human flesh bombs".

The black and red dots on the screen became fewer and fewer, and I became more and more impatient to wait, so I asked to call my family again, but this time I was denied.

I had no choice but to sleep and use my mind to wander around this bomb shelter.

The shelter was mainly used as a temporary headquarters and field hospital, and I tried to enter some of the locked rooms, but found that I couldn't; Sometimes I floated to the exit of the bomb shelter, only to find that I could not leave the bomb shelter, as if there was an invisible wall blocking my way at the entrance of the hole.

Bored, I went back to my room and began to write poems and short stories, but when I finished writing, I felt bored reading them.

Actually, my favorite place to go is the field hospital, but the strange thing is that there are 100 medical staff in this hospital, but all of them are men, and I don't see a single woman.

The cooks here are also very strong, and there is a company of them, and they are tired enough to cook for thousands of people every day, but to my surprise, they still raise five or six pigs.

One of these pigs is an old sow, and there are two piglets, three adult pigs, which seem to have reached slaughter weight.

There were more and more wounded in the field hospital, and I was curious to see these unfamiliar faces, but gradually I saw some familiar faces, such as Xiao Mo, Xiao Ma, and "King Kong", who had been specially transferred from the station to participate in the exercise.

The exercise was mainly a joint exercise of several major military regions in the northwest, and it was also based on the US 9 11 as a warning.
