This is Li Zheng's second award in his military career.
Group award.
Although E Division suffered a defeat in the exercise, Hou Jun and the five recruits became the only bright spot in this defeat.
Li Zheng was very happy.
After returning from the exercise, the troops were reorganized, and physical training was stopped during the day. If they wanted to do morning exercises, they would walk in the queue, then go back and fold their quilts, and then start doing hygiene.
On the first night after returning, Li Zheng made another video call with his grandma and Shao Xiaoqian.
These are the two people he is closest to in the world.
When you get an honor and you are happy, you naturally want to share your happiness with the people closest to you.
Shao Xiaoqian said that she had achieved third-class merit.
Li Zheng was very surprised.
How long had it been since she joined the company? Shao Xiaoqian was serving in a military hospital, so how could she have made a meritorious service?
He couldn't figure it out.
At the same time, I felt a sense of frustration that I was lagging behind.
Shao Xiaoqian said that this was because she won second place in the medical field rescue skills competition in the military region, so the army rewarded her with merit.
Li Zheng was unconvinced and said, "You female soldiers, even if you are near the water, first come first, you will have more opportunities to participate in martial arts competitions in the military area. Look at our platoon leader, we have been soldiers for more than eight years, and we just want to fight for one."
He went abroad to participate in the international sniper competition, but he missed the qualifying spot many times.
After saying that, I couldn't help but feel a little more angry.
I don’t know if it’s because of myself or because of platoon leader Hou Jun.
In fact, I once had a third-class gong beckoning me, but Ma Teng missed his target and hit his target, knocking his third-class gong away. In the end, although he got the best result, he only got the best result.
an award.
Commendation...
This time it's another award.
Shao Xiaoqian saw that he seemed unhappy, so she comforted her by saying that she actually didn't feel that this third-class function brought much sense of honor, because it was not what she wanted.
Li Zheng then asked: "Then what kind of third-class merit do you want?"
Shao Xiaoqian blinked his big, beautiful eyes and thought for a while before saying: "Third-class meritorious service like those male soldiers in your army."
Third-class merit for male soldiers?
Li Zheng was a little confused at first, but then he laughed and said, forget it! You little girl, you also want the third-class military merit of a male soldier? Do you know how difficult it is to obtain the third-class military merit in our army?
Shao Xiaoqian said, I asked about it, don’t bluff me, isn’t it just to get a ranking in the competition between masters and above? How difficult is it?
Li Zheng still laughed, a bit hilarious.
He felt that Shao Xiaoqian was really naive.
Even though she grew up in a military family, she is actually just a little girl who has never seen the life of a real combat soldier.
She told herself last time that she still wanted to join the special forces.
hehe!
Special Forces.
Female soldier?
Li Zheng felt that he was exhausted as an infantryman in the Menghu Regiment. This girl actually dared to say that she wanted to become a female soldier in the special forces!
That’s not to say that there aren’t such female special forces members, but that they’re something ordinary people can do?
My girlfriend cannot be said to be pampered at home, but she is definitely pampered. She went smoothly to Tunghai University. A female college student who is completely unfamiliar with the world of male soldiers actually dares to say that she wants to be a female special forces soldier?
However, he didn't dare to go against his girlfriend's face. He said, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for the day when you become a female special forces soldier. Come on!"
But in my heart I was like, hey hey hey, little girl, if you can become a female special forces soldier, I will go to heaven!
The repairs continued for three consecutive days.
The three days were spent like this. In the morning, I walked in a queue and did some queue movements. In the evening, I did 200 push-ups. Then I rested, and during the day I was free to move around and tidy up my personal hygiene.
The soldiers of the Fourth Company were very happy and their hearts blossomed.
It's not a matter of awareness or not. Everyone will be happy if they don't train.
Although everyone is willing to work hard on the training ground and refuse to admit defeat, when it comes to rest, who doesn't want to?
But Li Zheng is an outlier.
Li Zheng felt quite comfortable. The next day, he couldn't sit still. He felt itchy on his body, but he couldn't tell where it was. Later he realized that it was an itchy heart, which was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
He took the initiative to find Hou Jun and asked him to tell the company commander if he could get him a gun. He wanted to go to the shooting range to practice aiming.
Hou Jun looked at the soldier in front of him who didn't look like he was joking. His eyes were first filled with surprise, then appreciation, and finally relief.
"okay!"
He made a random remark out of nowhere.
Li Zheng asked him in astonishment: "Platoon leader, what's the matter?"
Hou Jun did not answer this question directly, but turned to the previous training: "I ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly."
Li Zheng said: "Definitely."
Hou Jun said: "Do you know what it takes to be a top sniper?"
Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Calm down and calm down?"
Hou Jun shook his head.
Li Zheng added: "Aren't you afraid of sacrifice?"
Hou Jun continued to shake his head.
Li Zheng gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and said, "Aren't you afraid of hardship?"
Hou Jun shook his head: "No. Look at our platoon and then our company. Are there fewer soldiers who are not afraid of hardship?"
Li Zheng was right when he thought about it. The Fourth Company was the benchmark company in the Menghu Regiment, the sharpshooter company. The training was always known for its strictness, and the soldiers were never afraid of hardship.
Hou Jun continued: "Training is so hard! In fact, every soldier is afraid of hardship. They don't look afraid during training, but in fact they are afraid in their hearts. Who doesn't want to feel comfortable? Most of them want it. But there are some who don't, such as
When you feel comfortable, you feel like you have lost your soul, you can't sit still, and you always feel like something is missing. Do you know why?"
Li Zheng shook his head.
Hou Jun said: "Because of love. Because you really fall in love with a gun, just like the lover you are passionately in love with. If you don't see him for a day, it's like three autumns. If you can't see him or practice it, you just miss him, want to find him, and take him with you."
Tryst at the training ground..."
Li Zheng grinned: "Squad leader, what you said is really ambiguous."
Hou Jun's face turned into a tiger's face and he scolded: "You know nothing!"
At the end of the day, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
"You are better than me now." Hou Jun said with emotion: "I used to be like you, but you see, I am not now. In the past two days, I have been pressing the bed board, reading and writing letters to pass the time, and I don't think about it.
Go over to the shooting range and practice..."

Seeing Hou Jun's somewhat lonely expression, Li Zheng knew that he was thinking of those failures again.
"What's wrong?" Hou Jun asked.
Li Zheng said: "I don't think you should be so discouraged, platoon leader. There is an old saying, hope is tomorrow."
Hou Jun laughed at himself, and finally said: "I didn't expect that I, Hou Jun, would also be educated by a new soldier... Hehe... But you are right, I hope tomorrow, I will be a soldier for more than eight years. , I comforted myself like this before, but after repeated failures, I began to doubt my life, no, I should say I doubted God. Although we soldiers are materialists, you really have to accept your fate. Do you miss me... When I failed for the first time, I encouraged myself, "Let's do it next time. It will work next time." Then I jumped into the trap next time. I told myself, "It's okay. You still have a long military career. There are so many opportunities." Then the third time...the fourth time...oh...the last time it happened because of my own collapse...that damn shit..."
He muttered, as if venting his anger.
Li Zheng said: "Platoon leader, actually I understand you."
Hou Jun suddenly turned his head and looked at him. After staring for a long time, he suddenly smiled: "Do you understand me? You new recruit, you understand nothing!"
Li Zheng said seriously: "I really understand you, but I think you are wrong."
Surprise flashed in Hou Jun's eyes: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Zheng said: "When there was an earthquake in my hometown, my parents and I were crushed under the rubble. I spent the longest four days in my life in the darkness. During these four days, I even lost the concept of time. I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like more than ten days. I had nothing to eat, and all I had to drink was a little water in a deformed pot. Many times I wanted to give up, but my mother told me, you have to believe in yourself. You won't die here. You have to believe that many people are looking for us outside. You have to believe that hope will always exist. If you believe in it, it may appear. But if you don't believe it, hope will definitely not come. Without hope, Everything is gone..."
After saying that, the corners of his eyes turned red.
Hou Jun was stunned for a long time, and finally stood up from the bench.
"Then what is your hope?"
"I hope..." Li Zheng thought for a while: "I want to be a good soldier, at least to live up to the soldiers who fought to save me from the ruins."
