The soldiers in the second platoon and the second squad, one by one, seemed to be cheering themselves up again, and it seemed to be strengthening their beliefs.

Hearing this, Chen Ming felt sad for a while, and had to admit that the soldiers in this squad were a little stupid and a little weird, but it was precisely because of these strange and stupid warriors that they always strengthened their beliefs.

In order to guard the country and make the country peaceful, if there is no them, where can the leisure and elegance define this stupid, that wonderful?

It is their not tall and strong backbone that supports the backbone and internal security of a great country.

However, after several people finished saying their thoughts, they fell silent again.

When they saw Chen Ming's reaction just now, they felt that the newcomer at this time might have already figured out how to write the application.

It's no wonder that they are so sensitive, they have seen too much, there are many newcomers from the Second Frontier Company, and even more newcomers who come and are transferred away.

Why is platoon commander Cao Fei so indifferent to newcomers?

Where is his indifference, he doesn't dare to invest too much emotion, and he is worried that he will receive a notice that the new soldier will apply for transfer as soon as he has just established a relationship.

The same is true for the soldiers of the second class, although there is a pity in their hearts, their current five-person team is indeed in urgent need of new reinforcements, but if Chen Ming insists on leaving, they will not open their mouths to stay.

Realizing that the soldiers in this class were a little depressed, Chen Ming deliberately raised his eyebrows, and said with a snort: "Don't have any misunderstanding, I am from the countryside, and my life is not more comfortable than this." ”

"It's just this bit of suffering, it's not enough to dissuade me, I just think the toilet is so far away, and it will be a little frozen to run over at night, don't worry, I won't leave for the time being."

That's true.

When he knew that he was going to come to the border, Chen Ming was already mentally prepared enough, and although the environment was even more humble than he expected, it would not make him give up.

Not to mention that he came here at the second stage of the National Defense University's assessment, there is no way out, even if the recruits are assigned here, they will stay in the border defense forces.

He will not leave, and when he returns to his youth, he must do something meaningful, and it is a meaningful thing for the border guards to guard the gate of the motherland.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no significance for the troops in the interior, there are people who guard the frontiers, and there are people who vigorously develop science and technology, combat effectiveness, people's livelihood, and economy.

Work together to make our country stronger.

Only in this way will you not be bullied, and the significance of the establishment of the strategic assault division is also to make the army more powerful and able to deal with all kinds of enemies in the future.

To do your job, to be a soldier, to be ready to fight, to fight for the Motherland, to fight for the people, is a great thing in itself.

It's just that the border defense is a little more bitter.

When he went back to the dormitory just now, after talking, Chen Ming could feel that these people in the second row really hoped that he could join, otherwise the class of five people would be a little difficult to operate.

Nowadays, even if you just add one more person, they can reduce a lot of pressure overall.

Seeing that Chen Ming didn't seem to be joking, the brown bear squad leader was humble and said, "It's best to stay." ”

Then he seemed to remember something, solemnly stretched out his hand and continued: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiong Jiuchang, I am from the Northeast, and I am the squad leader of the second class. ”

After speaking, he also showed a bright smile, but this smile was really a little silly in Chen Ming's eyes.

This surname and body type are so compatible, coupled with his fondness for scratching his head and smirking, it makes people feel that this squad leader's brain seems to be a little not very smart.

When I met for the first time just now and responded to the company commander's "arrived", it was like two people.

Just when this thought came to Chen Ming's heart, and he was about to get up to salute the squad leader and shake hands, a thin soldier jumped over next to him, raised his hand and pressed it on Chen Ming's shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you look at our squad leader a bit like a critic?" ”

Ha?!!

Chen Ming glanced at the soldier who suddenly jumped over in surprise, he couldn't get up, so he could only shake hands with the squad leader, which was regarded as a greeting, but he just thought about it in his heart.

Can you say this kind of thing so bluntly?!!

"Don't think it's strange, many people will think this way when they first see Squad Leader Xiong."

"Look at me, they all call me bald, in fact, my name is quite good, my name is Shen Zufei, but no one has ever called me."

The soldier who ran over took his arm away from Chen Ming's shoulder and took off his hat easily.

Chen Ming's eyes were fixed again, this young man who looked like his age was very thin, but the amount of hair on the top of his head was really a little pitiful.

The young handsome guy is at a vigorous age, but he already has a clear tendency to be bald, which is also the most common phenomenon of the border guards who have been in the border guard for a long time-—— hair loss.

Moreover, what surprised Chen Ming even more was that the soldiers in the squad dared to publicly slander the squad leader and say that he was criticized.

If this is placed in an ordinary company, saying this in front of the squad leader, if you don't come a few ten kilometers to take care of it, this matter will not be passable, right?

The warrior, known as the bald man, saw that Chen Ming still didn't understand, so he spread his hands very happily: "You don't have to be embarrassed to admit it, I know you think so." ”

"Don't look at the squad leader like a critic and underestimate him, although he is criticized, he is a fierce critic."

Chen Ming:.

Nima, he thought, no matter how fierce he is, it doesn't seem appropriate to be called Han Criticism, right?

The bald man seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Just our squad leader, an eight-year veteran, this year is just the eighth year, and whatever orders are ordered from above, he will carry them out with all his life." ”

"Do you know, there is a plaque in his house of the house of a second-class meritorious hero, which he obtained by capturing alive a poacher with a gun and two with knives with his bare hands."

"The price is a scar that extends from the chest to the belly, good fellow, when we arrived, the squad leader was holding that villain, and his intestines were flowing out, which is called a ferocious."

The bald man Shen Zufei told with emotion, Chen Ming, who learned the cause and effect, also had a tingling scalp, this second class looked at the simple squad leader, and he had such a fierce experience?

You know, poachers have guns, and they are generally outlaws, even if they run into them themselves, if they don't have any equipment on them, the first thought in the face of this kind of hot weapon is usually to avoid the edge.

Find a way to clean them up.

But Han Han's squad leader was so stubbornly captured, this is really not afraid of death.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how high your martial arts are, you have to admit it in the face of two people with kitchen knives, not to mention that there is also one with a gun.

Facing Chen Ming's surprised gaze, Xiong Changjiu, the simple squad leader, did not speak, but just grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.

It seems that this matter is normal for him and not worth mentioning.

The squad leader's story is over.

Chen Ming was about to open his backpack and give everyone a point of the things he bought from the store at the airport.

But before he could grab his backpack with both hands, a thin monkey suddenly came over from the dormitory, yes, it was a thin monkey.

The food in the entire dormitory seems to have gone into the stomach of the class leader, and everyone else is very thin.

The thin monkey easily pushed the bald man aside, and held Chen Ming's palm with both hands, as if he was meeting some big leader, and he was very enthusiastic.

This sudden action startled Chen Ming.

But the thin monkey ignored Chen Ming's surprise, grabbed his hand with a smile and said: "Introduction, my name is Zhao Haojie, the only medical soldier in our second border defense company, I live in the mountains, my grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine, and my parents are also traditional Chinese medicine. ”

"Brother Chen, you can do it with this body."

Zhao Haojie squatted down and didn't say a word,Get up and walk away directly,Leaving such an inexplicable sentence。

"Well, no wonder you don't have altitude sickness, it's the first time I've seen this physique, it seems that there is a little monster in our second class, the physical fitness is good, and the body is also great."

"It's just that the liver fire has been too strong recently, plus I should have stayed up late some time ago to hurt my nerves, drink more water and defeat the fire, and there is no problem with my body and bones."

"It's strong."

Hearing this, Chen Ming reacted, just now the thin monkey squatted down, grabbed his hands, and saw that his movements seemed to be like shaking hands, but one of the hands seemed to be impartial, just on the pulse.

Just chatting like this, and directly taking the pulse out?

As soon as the medical soldier finished introducing himself, another person came up and introduced himself: "Hello new comrade, my name is Li Yan, and I don't have much other skills. ”

"But there are some fist and foot kung fu, in addition to the grappling hands in the army and the military body boxing, the outside kung fu is slightly proficient, and the main attack is boxing."

"It's a pity that the children now go to learn taekwondo, martial arts have basically declined in my generation, and I have to come to the army as a last resort, because it is not illegal for the army to fight, hehe, but if you want to learn, I can be generous, two months' allowance, and get me two packs of good cigarettes, including teaching and packing."

Li Yan said, and raised his eyebrows, at first glance, it was that kind of eccentric type.

"It's cheap." Chen Ming looked at it with a smile, this new roommate, the other party walked very steadily, and he could see at a glance that he should have learned martial arts, but as for the weight, it was hard to say.

It's not clear if he, who has been in Dragon's Tooth for eight months, has learned professional grappling skills.

The fighting of the dragon's teeth is very simple and very rough, and the moves are just some kicks in the crotch, inserting eyes, locking throats, and slapping temples, and there are no new moves.

At most, there are some grappling styles in the eighteen hands of the black dragon.

However, at his level, he has already passed the stage of fighting fiercely, and it is meaningless if he can't beat it.

The five people in the first row and the second class have all introduced themselves, and the squad leader Xiong has been simple for a long time, but he seems to be able to win people's hearts.

The first Wu Bing I knew, was the youngest and looked the most normal, and the remaining three were almost all strange.

One is the bald Shen Zufei, the other is the medical soldier Zhao Haojie, and the last one is Li Yan, who is studying martial arts.

Good guys, although the number of people in the second class is small, each personality is quite distinct.

Just when Chen Ming was stunned, the first Wu Bing, who looked the most normal, walked over with a smile and pushed the eccentric Li Yan aside.

"Don't believe him, this kid is a money addict, and he likes to lie to newcomers like you the most."

"What is martial arts from elementary school, when the martial arts hall is closed, he will come to be a soldier, this is what he has always said, just those two times, he may not dare to take the list of kindergartens, and he will take care of him."

Good guy, the second class is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Chen Ming watched Li Yan being demolished, standing next to him sulking, but he didn't say a word, and then looked at Wu Bing pushing him away just now, just these two moments, this is probably not normal.

Being able to stay in the border guards, it seems that what is written in the information is correct, this is indeed a heroic company, and it is really not just talking about being able to win the collective first-class merit and second-class merit many times.

Wu Bing walked up to Chen Ming sincerely, stretched out his hand and said with a bright smile: "My name is Wu Bing, let me introduce myself again, this kind of self-introduction, a few of us have already told many people, you are not the first, and you will definitely not be the last, but I sincerely hope that you will not be disappointed." ”

"yes, okay."

Chen Ming listened to this "don't be disappointed", ambiguous statement, and just nodded heavily, which probably meant that he hoped that he could overcome the difficulties and stay with them to guard the border.

Because of his self-introduction just now, these people really accepted it, and they came over to introduce them one by one, showing great enthusiasm.

That's probably how they greet it.

But this nod suddenly made Chen Ming feel a little disobedient, after all, he couldn't stay here selflessly for so many years like this group of people, as short as a month or two, as long as half a year, he was going to leave after all

However, let's talk about these later, after the introduction of five people in the second class in a row just now, he found out that the whole class couldn't make up a normal person.

is either a good doctor, or a squad leader who is not afraid of life and death, and dares to be strong and three, in contrast, he is the most normal person in this class.

But it is also understandable, after all, normal people who can stay here selflessly.

After introducing each other, the atmosphere in the class was obviously more harmonious, and the bald Shen Zufei ran over again to drive Chen Ming's arm, and invited with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, you just came or go to eat first." ”

"Although the conditions on our side are a little worse, and it's not a place to eat at this time, it's no problem for you to get some game when you just came."

"It just so happens that a few of us can follow along."

"It's ?!! to eat now"

Chen Ming looked at the time, it was already half past ten in the evening, and the lights had already gone out?

The stipulated time for the national troops, even if there are regional differences, will basically not exceed half an hour, which is too exaggerated, right?

As if seeing Chen Ming's doubts, squad leader Xiong Chang scratched his head and explained: "What, we will conduct a long-distance mountain patrol here once a week." ”

"This week, it was the turn of the second platoon to go out to patrol the mountains, and we usually wait until all the brothers who patrol the mountains come back before resting."

"Special treatment in special circumstances, if we don't wait for the patrol brothers to come back, we won't be able to sleep, and we will generally train outside and wait."

"If there is a situation, you can leave at any time."

"Let's go, it just so happens that the canteen has food left for the patrol team at this time, let's go over and rub some more, let's eat less and you eat more."

Chen Ming was about to say that he had brought food, but everyone didn't give him this opportunity at all, and several people enthusiastically surrounded him and walked out.

Sure enough.

This was already a lights-out point outside, and there were still many soldiers walking around outside the dormitory of the Second Frontier Company.

Some soldiers are wiping the flag-raising stand with a cloth and wiping it very seriously, and some soldiers are moving pots of bright flowers from the outside in groups to the dormitory.

This made Chen Ming look quite strange, in September, let alone such a harsh environment here, even if it is the Central Plains, there shouldn't be so many flowers, right?

A soldier is holding two pots in his hand, there are more than 20 soldiers, and the colorful flowers contrast with the monotonous environment in the company, which really makes people feel good.

But what kind of flower is this, with such tenacious vitality?

Chen Ming kept looking sideways, perhaps because he saw his doubts, the bald Shen Zufei smiled beside him: "Don't feel strange, those flowers are fake flowers, plastic flowers." ”

"Plastic Flower ???"

Chen Ming was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "Do you still need to move plastic flowers to the house?" ”

"It won't freeze if you put it outside."

"Well, leave them alone." Shen Zufei shook his head unnaturally, "You just came to the border guards and don't know, we people must find something to do for ourselves, otherwise people will go crazy." ”

"It's white when you look up here, it's black when you look down, seven or eight strong winds all year round, in order to make the barracks a little different color, I used to think of ways to grow flowers and vegetables by myself, but the soil can't."

"Later, a lot of soil was brought from the bottom, but the environment was not good, the flowers died, the vegetables were gone, and the trees could not survive."

"Then the chief above managed to arrange a batch of fake flowers for us, although the flowers are fake, but the bright colors are real."

"As for us, after breakfast, we took advantage of the gap between the morning training to take out these flowers to water and bask in the sun, and when we were about to rest, we moved back to the dormitory and wiped the wind and sand on them."

"Careful maintenance can make these bright colors last longer."

"It may not be understandable to you, and it may feel particularly meaningless."

"But for us, these flowers are the belief that we stick to, the driving force that can keep us going, and the colorful vision and hope that can bring us."

Rumble!!!

Chen Ming only felt a sudden shock in his brain, he never expected that the conditions of the border guards would have such a big impact.

He only thought about the bitter environment, the bitter conditions, and the bitterness of the soldiers here, but he didn't think about what the psychology of the soldiers who stick here is.

If you don't come to the border, who would have known that a small fake flower could bring such a big effect.

No wonder, no wonder when I first came to visit, I saw that the flag-raising platform and the pillars were polished so brightly, which is also a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Chen Ming has never understood what is the direct connection between studying at the National Defense University and coming to the border.

Now he doesn't have to understand.

This shock and cognition alone made him come in vain, someone once told him to become the escort of the new era.

He was also told that if he wanted to become the sword-bearer of the republic, he would not have seen it with his own eyes and experienced it himself.

What else to talk about escorts, what to say about the sword-bearer, that's all nonsense.

An inconspicuous little flower made Chen Ming feel a lot of emotions, this scene was indeed something he hadn't thought of before.
