Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 71 Principles of Soldiers

When rushing to the top of the mountain that day, the little white-faced Jiang Yan was carried down the mountain by Li Zheng, Fatty Wei, and Yang Hui.

Li Zheng still couldn't leave Jiang Xing alone.

Before returning to the camp, Fatty Wei began to cry.

"It's over, it's over, we're over..."

Time has passed.

A trip to the top of the mountain for recruits is stipulated to be completed within 10 minutes.

In fact, this time is not short, veterans only need 7 minutes.

Unfortunately, even 10 minutes is too much.

When he returned to the camp, Wu Yi was already standing on the lawn beside the basketball court with a stopwatch in his hand. When he saw a few people, he shook the stopwatch in his hand and shouted, "I say, comrades, you are overtime!"

timed out.

means to be punished.

Li Zheng added Jiang Xing to the lawn, and when he let go, the two fell to the ground together.

Fatty Wei and Yang Hui were also exhausted. When they went down the mountain just now, the three of them took turns holding each other, and Li Zheng slipped and almost became a rolling gourd.

"The three of you in the entire platoon have timed out." Wu Yi handed the stopwatch to Li Zheng: "Look, it's 32 minutes and 10 seconds. As I said, those who exceed the time limit will be fined for a three-kilometer trip. Take a rest." , start running in [-] minutes."

His eyes fell on Jiang Xing who was at the side.

Zhang Jian and a row of other recruits who came back earlier had already recovered, and they were standing not far away, discussing in low voices.

"I told you earlier to leave Jiang Rong alone, so I won't listen."

"Hey, one person hurts three..."

Li Zheng sat on the ground and did not answer Wu Yi's inquiry.

It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he was on the verge of falling apart, and it was uncomfortable to speak before he recovered from his anger.

Hou Jun suddenly walked up to Li Zheng, squatted down, looked at the new recruit in front of him for a long time, and then asked, "Answer me, you can run back by yourself without punishment, why do you want to help Jiang Rong?"

Li Zheng wiped his face with his camouflage hat, thinking that he would be punished, he could only smile wryly, "I won't abandon anyone."

The platoon leader was right, if he continued to run regardless, he would definitely not be punished, and he would never run out of time.

But he will never do that.

Hou Jun stared at him, as if he wanted to see through Li Zheng in front of him.

"tell me why?"

Li Zheng finally regained his breath, and calmly said to Hou Jun: "That year... my hometown was hit by an earthquake, and my parents and I were buried in the rubble for four consecutive days. Looking forward to someone coming to rescue us, I was very scared, afraid that the people on the ruins would not know that my parents and I were here, and I was even more afraid that they would not find us and gave up the rescue.”

He sat upright, met Hou Jun's gaze, and continued: "Platoon leader, I know what it feels like to be abandoned. It really sounds scary. Fortunately, the people in the army did not abandon us back then. Stop looking for us, never abandon us, otherwise I would not be here today as a soldier. So, I am here because of the words 'don't abandon, don't give up', platoon leader, I won't give up any of them people, not to mention their own comrades-in-arms.”

Hou Jun listened, nodded vigorously, and stood up without saying a word.

Said to Wu Yi: "Assemble."

Wu Yi shouted at a row of soldiers: "Assemble, assemble! Come and assemble!"

The recruits were at a loss, but they still rushed over to gather together, and Li Zheng and Fatty Wei also joined the ranks.

"Look to the right, look forward! Take a break!"

The team assembled quickly.

Wu Yi handed over the team to Hou Jun.

Standing in front of the team, Hou Jun looked more serious than ever.

He stretched out his hand to Wu Yi and said, "Give me the stopwatch."

Wu Yi also looked suspicious, but he still handed over the stopwatch.

Hou Jun looked at the time on the second watch, and it stayed at 32 minutes and [-] seconds.

"This is the result of Li Zheng and the others. To be honest, 32 minutes and [-] seconds is really bad. It is estimated that calling Lao Chen, the owner of the small shop next to the training ground, to run faster than this."

Someone in the line couldn't help laughing.

Only Zhang Jian felt a little bad.

He changed his words.

"but--"

Hou Jun's eyes swept over everyone in the team coldly.

"They're 100's on another level, and you—"

He pointed to the other soldiers.

"It's 0 points!"

Having said this, Hou Jun took a deep breath.

"In the army, what is the most important thing among comrades-in-arms? Is trust, what is trust? I can give my back to you, I believe that you will block bullets for me when I am in danger, I believe that if I am injured You will come to save me when the time comes, no matter how dangerous it is, you will never abandon me, never give up on me. This—"

He raised an index finger and waved it vigorously in the air.

"It's called not abandoning, not giving up! It is the supreme principle of soldiers! It is also the magic weapon for whether an army can win a battle! But look at what you did just now? Jiang Rong collapsed and stopped running. The entire platoon of 30 people, Only 3 people stayed with him and helped him through the storm, and what about the rest of you? Run, slip, don't see, can't see?! Is this a comrade in arms?! I want a group of soldiers, not a group Selfish villain!"

After scolding, the recruits all bowed their heads.

I have never seen Hou Jun make such a big fuss.

Like a dynamite keg being set on fire.

"Now, except for Li Zheng, Wei Guoxing, and Yang Hui, the rest of them, including Jiang Rong who was crying just now, and what, soldiers don't believe in tears, crying is useless, practice is useful! Listen to the password, everything is—"

He half turned around, pointed with his hand, and pointed to the distance.

"Three kilometers ready!"

The recruits were at a loss for a moment, as if they were dreaming.

Why did I run within the required time, and now I am the target of being punished for running away...

"Remember, I will teach you a lesson today. You must never give up and never abandon your comrades! Otherwise, you are not worthy of being a soldier! Start—run!"

Except for Li Zheng and the others, the rest rushed out with a huff.

Hou Jun threw the stopwatch to Wu Yi, and then walked towards the row of rooms. When he passed by Li Zheng, he voted him a target of approval and said, "That's right, I like you kid!"

Looking at the back of Hou Jun going away, Fatty Wei secretly tugged on the corner of Li Zheng's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Damn, I was scared to death just now... Fortunately, I turned around to help, otherwise I might be the one who was punished now ..."

"Why are you willing to turn back?" Li Zheng was suddenly curious to find the answer from Fatty Wei. It is said that Fatty Wei is a greasy and slippery person, but he did not expect to be unambiguous at critical moments.

Fatty Wei said: "We are good buddies!"

Yang Hui on the side also smiled and said: "Yes, we are good comrades-in-arms, I can't watch you take care of the little boy alone, can I?"

Li Zheng's heart warmed up.

In the past, he only saw the three words "friendship in battle" in film and television dramas and works of art. Today, he has a deeper understanding of these three words.

Looking back, looking at Hou Jun's back as he walked towards the row room, Li Zheng thought to himself, this acting platoon leader is really interesting, not as impersonal as he usually looks.

Hou Jun usually gives people the feeling of being absolutely stern and selfless, and the emperor and I don't even recognize it during training, but today it makes people feel a special kind of warmth.

After getting along for more than a month, Li Zheng felt more and more that there was something very kind to him in this veteran.
