Chapter 1 Retirement does not change color
"Send your comrades-in-arms, embark on the journey, silently with two tears, and the camel bell rings in your ears......"
The cold wind of early winter was steep, and the north wind blew the poplar trees in the barracks, whose branches were already bare, and they had lost their summer vitality. Although it was noon, the sky was cloudless, and the sun was bright and dazzling, but there were still a few white snow particles occasionally floating in the air, and I don't know if it was really snowing, or if a few drops of water in the air that did not know the weight of the water were blown down into ice particles. In the army compound at the northern end of the motherland, all the barracks are neatly arranged, like a phalanx, a phalanx of giants, and on the playground on the northernmost side of the compound, a step chariot is also neatly arranged, both horizontally and vertically are a straight line, a phalanx of weapons. In front of the rostrum, there are 834 soldiers standing tall in military posture, like green pines and cypresses standing in the wind, a phalanx of soldiers, a phalanx of heroes.
"Comrade Commander, all the officers and men of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the X-Yang Military Region, Unit 6XXX1, should be 834 people, but the actual number is 834 people, please instruct. Attendant, Cui Han. At the front of the team, a young man wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel shouted out this sentence sonorously, the green tendons on his neck were violent, it can be seen that he used all his strength when he shouted, and with the end of the report, he saluted a military salute, and his arms were from top to bottom, snapping, and it was a standard military posture.
The slightly blessed old commander on the rostrum glanced at the lieutenant colonel with satisfaction, and after returning a military salute, he said "Start!"
Lieutenant Colonel Cui Han saluted and replied that he turned backwards in one go, as precise and in place as a machine that never goes wrong.
"All of them, take a break. β
Wow
A move, an action, a voice. Other than that, there was no sound.
Cui Han ran to the far left of the team satisfied, took small steps, and shook his head towards the rostrum.
"Comrades"
I snap and stand upright. It's still one action, one sound, all in unison.
The commander looked at the soldiers below with a look of kindness on his face like his own child.
"Take a break"
Wow, it's still so neat.
After the commander looked around the entire team, his eyes fell on the first row of the team, wearing a big red flower, but the soldiers who did not wear military ranks, his eyes were full of reluctance, and after looking at his faces one by one, he slowly spoke
"Comrades, fighters, children. Starting today, you are going to leave one after another, leave our green barracks, take off your military uniforms and go to society, you are all veterans, some are already 25 years old, but you are still young people in society, you are young men. What you have learned in the army is not only your skills, but also the fine traditions and work style of our Chinese People's Liberation Army. You are all good, and you have done an excellent job of flood fighting, earthquake relief, A series of tasks such as dealing with sudden suppression and suppression, of course, there are some secret missions, you are all good in the army, if your century allows, it is enough to write a book, if you publicize it, each of you is a heroic model that moved China, but I want to remind you that you are a direct subordinate unit of our military region, a special soldier, and different from an ordinary soldier, I hope you can retire from the army and not change color, maintain your original intention, to become a help of the country, not to become a pest of the country, if one day any of you cross the red line and break the law, you are not worthy of being a soldier of my war Yongxiaγ In the end, the old commander's expression became extremely complicated, some were reluctant, some were stern, some were serious, some were hopeful, and even his tone had changed a little, and it was no longer the usual sonorous.
After saying this in one breath, the old commander looked around at all the soldiers again, sat down in his chair, and waved his hand to signal a colonel next to him to continue.
"Comrades......" The colonel took the manuscript in his hand, read the manuscript that had already been written, and accompanied by the gentle singing of "Sending Comrades-in-Arms", the content of the manuscript seemed to have become a tear gas, which made the eyes of more than 800 soldiers red.
The discharge ceremony lasted for three hours, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark. The cooking squads of each company were filled with a sumptuous banquet, and the sound of crying and saying goodbye was filled with everything in each company.
An officer sat next to a soldier in a dormitory in Camp 1 and watched him pack his things.
"Xiaobai, what are you going to do when you go back?" spoke to Cui Han, the lieutenant colonel who reported on the playground at noon.
"What else can I do, take the placement card and go home to work, find a girl in the last few years, get married and have a baby, what's the matter?
This soldier called Xiaobai is one of the veterans this time, 180 cm tall, with a dark face, knotted muscles all over the body without the slightest sense of slackness, long eyes and sword eyebrows, sharp edges and corners on both sides of the cheeks like a knife and axe, blade-like lips, revealing perseverance. If there is no scar in the middle of the eyebrows obliquely towards the left eye, no one will doubt that this young man can be an idol star just by virtue of his face.
His full name is Bai Xiaobai, you read it right, it is small in size, born in a small county in the northeast, originally became a soldier because he didn't like to study, get a placement card, go back to assign a job for two years, and eat together. But as soon as he got off the car, he was assigned to an infantry company, and was influenced by the male breath here, which inspired the character of the Northeast people who did not admit defeat, and it took only half a year to break half of the infantry records of the unit, and was admitted to this direct unit, and gradually, he fell in love with this place full of male hormones, and stayed in this place for 8 years, but today it is finally the moment of parting. Looking at the certificate of honor in his hand, Bai Xiaobai cherished a child like a child, he was the best assault in this unit before, participated in the Elner assault, attended the hunter school, served as a tactical instructor in the whole army, and brought out at least one platoon of the whole army under him, a military expert.
Cui Han was also silent, looking at Bai Xiaobai, and didn't speak for a long time. Yes, what can he do? This is discipline, an iron battalion, a flowing soldier. When it's time to leave, even if there is reluctance, what's the use? Every time you enter the exam, there is no longer the unconventional work of the past, and it is time to leave or go.
"You will always be my class president. Cui Han finally gave Bai Xiaobai a military salute solemnly, and his tone was so serious that he could shock the mountains.
Bai Xiaobai is also a standing upright, and after giving Cui Han a military salute, the two hugged each other firmly, and the tears could no longer be stopped, and they burst out of their eyes.
"Let's go, don't clean up, drink and go. β
"yes, let's go drink. β
"Go home, goodbye defense green. Farewell, my youth. β
In the early morning of the next day, the northern December sky seemed to be higher and farther away, and the black hole did not know how many secrets it contained, and the stars also blinked, as if they had not slept all night, looking at this group of mature young people who had left the army and walked towards the city. The north wind is still cold and blowing on people's faces like a knife cut, Bai Xiaobai walked to the door of the luxury bus, turned back suddenly, the standard military salute, and the 81 people behind him also raised their right hands at the same time to return the salute, two lines of tears flowed down the corners of their eyes, this is it, there is no change in expression, still resolute face, put down his arms, lift his luggage, and no longer have any hesitation, turned back into the bus, and did not look at the car again.
"Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, beware of the cold wind in the middle of the night, take care of yourself all the way......"
