Chapter 52: Code Name 28 (Part 1)

  Xiao Lie still remembers the night he left, when the whole company had an extra meal together and even made an exception to drink alcohol. Although it was only five months since the company's establishment, Xiao Lie had taken on every position here, and those old technicians were very fond of him due to his diligence and eagerness to learn. Everyone liked him. When they learned he was leaving, everyone came to bid him farewell.

  At that moment he was moved, he had thought of leaving this place before, but when the day really came, he felt reluctant to part with it.

  "Remember, once you're out, don't come back," Zhang Zhiqiang said.

  "Once you're out, don't come back," said Wei Qidong.

  "Once you're gone, don't come back."

  Everyone said that it's not that the unit is bad, but when they see their comrades have better opportunities and go do what they like, no one wouldn't be happy. Without much ado, all the blessings and words condensed into nine characters: Once you leave, don't come back.

  Looking at that familiar face, Xiao Lie suddenly felt he didn't want to leave. If it weren't for Xiao Yang's words, perhaps he would have really stayed here until his discharge. During those times, he deeply remembered every person in his mind, their appearance, their voices. Perhaps this time they parted ways, they really wouldn't meet again. Once gone, he wouldn't come back. He also didn't allow himself to return, unless that day he came back with pride.

  Zhang Zhiqiang, Wei Qidong, Tang Fei, Li Xiaoqiao, Gu Yu, Gao Yuanshan...

  Farewell, Destroyer Squadron, farewell, my destroyer squadron career...

  "Commissar, why didn't you give that soldier to our company before?" Wu Minghui asked Commissar Lin Guojun in front of Regiment Commander Xia Tianyu.

  When the new recruits were assigned to their units, he found it strange that Xiao Lie, who had shown excellent military quality, was not assigned to a combat unit but instead to a demolition unit. This was all arranged by Lin Guojun. At that time, Wu Minghui was busy with the assignment of new recruits and didn't ask too many questions. Every year, there were many new recruits with excellent military quality. Just when he was about to forget about Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie made a name for himself during an exercise, and only then did he remember how excellent Xiao Lie had been. When he picked him up halfway, he thought Xiao Lie's military quality in the demolition unit had fallen behind, but in those two battles, Xiao Lie surprised everyone, and in the end, he even rescued the division commander and worked with Ouyang Yuanye to complete a beheading operation in enemy territory. It was hard for him not to pay attention to such a soldier.

  "Ming Hui, I have always been in charge of political work. The army must have absolute loyalty to the party and the people, this is also the significance of our people's army existence. Do you still remember when we were in the new recruit regiment?" Lin Guo Jun said to himself: "At that time, I asked everyone a question, if war breaks out, what would you do first?"

  I remember.

  "At that time, all the new recruits said to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, but he said to take care of his family first and then go to the battlefield. You know, if we all do this, then when the great enemy is in front of us, we will lose the initiative and the nation will be finished. So I didn't let him join your reconnaissance company, but instead put him in the demolition company. For me, a soldier without absolute ideological awareness will only harm his comrades on the battlefield."

  After hearing Lin Guojun's words, Xia Tianyu and Wu Minghui suddenly understood the problem. Although Xia Tianyu was not present at the time, Wu Minghui was also present. He still remembered Xiao Lie saying: I have thousands of comrades, but my mother only has me as her son. To the army, I am just one of the thousands of soldiers, but to my mother, she only has me as her son. If I sacrifice myself, she will definitely be more heartbroken than anyone else. I believe my comrades can do everything well, and I can entrust everything to them, but maybe that time was the last time I saw my loved ones. So I want to go home.

  Xiao Lie did not think that his words would have such a great impact on his military career. Many things are beyond one's expectations. As the saying goes, "If it is gold, it will shine wherever it is." This time, Xiao Lie proved himself to be a shining piece of gold, no matter where he was, as long as he worked hard, he would be discovered someday.

  "Tian Yu, Ming Hui, I thought I had seen countless people and understood their psychological thoughts. But this time, I have to admit that I was wrong, really wrong."

  When Lin Guojun said this, Wu Minghui and Xu Xiayu were a little surprised. After all, Lin Guojun was known for being steady and meticulous, it's not easy to get him to make a mistake.

  "That day, Xiao Lie stood in front of the whole army and said that if this was really a war, he only thought about letting more comrades survive. Because at home, there are fathers, brothers and sisters, loved ones, and their own family members waiting for us to return. They must be thinking of you. The most I can do is let my comrades live on and then go home. I believe this, not just me, but also you will do the same. Only then did I realize that I was wrong, I was terribly wrong. For a long time, we have been cultivating our soldiers to dedicate themselves to the country, to the nation. Our slogan is also loyalty to the people, loyalty to the country. But what are the people? What is the country? The people and the country are just one's own family members, brothers and sisters, loved ones, children. Are we not soldiers to protect them? Many people's brothers and sisters, loved ones, children together are our people, our country. How sad that I didn't understand this truth for so many years, isn't the meaning of being a soldier just for these things? Is it wrong to tell my own family members that I'm going to the battlefield?" Lin Guojun asked.

  When Lin Guojun finished speaking, Wu Minghui and Xia Tianyu began to ponder.

  "Tell our loved ones that we are about to go into battle, and perhaps we will never come back, perhaps we will be buried in a foreign land. Perhaps this is the last time you hear my voice. Is there anything wrong with this? We have always thought that we were called the most righteous army, why? Because we are the most loyal sons of the Chinese people, our army is known as the bravest in the world, why? It's because we protect our loved ones, for our loved ones, we dare to die, dare to fight. This is the fighting spirit of the Chinese army, for the country, for our loved ones, for our beloved. Such an army, when it erupts on the battlefield, its energy is far more than just one plus one equals two. The warriors who dare to fight for their loved ones are the true warriors, and such warriors are the future of our country and our army."

  Lin Guojun finished speaking and took a few deep breaths, his face slightly flushed with excitement.

  "So now we're going to recruit him into our regiment?" Wu Minghui said, revealing the purpose of this trip.

  "It's impossible now."

  Lin Guojun and Xia Tianyu said in unison.

  "Why?" Wu Minghui asked, "It's a pity if such good soldiers are not assigned to combat troops."

  "Because he has been booked by another unit." Lin Guojun said with some disappointment.

  "Which one?"

  "Special Forces."

  "Oh."

  Wu Minghui didn't say anything else. Although his company was also a well-known one in the A Division, compared to the special forces, it wasn't on the same level. For a moment, the three of them were each lost in their own thoughts.

  When Xiao Lie was sent to the assembly point, there were already a group of people waiting there. Xiao Lie took a closer look and was shocked to find that most of them were officers, including even some senior colonels. They all seemed to be about to be enlisted. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. As a new recruit who had only been in the army for less than a year, he felt like he was far inferior to these old soldiers in every way. It seemed like he was the only private in the group. Xiao Lie looked around again and confirmed that he was indeed the only private among them.

  The appearance of Xiao Lie, however, has piqued the interest of these officers. Those who can receive T5 invitations are not only outstanding in military quality but also have their own specialties in certain aspects. They also belong to the type of people with a strong personality. Such individuals often appear to be very confident in their own troops. Of course, in the military, where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, if one does not have a unique skill, they would not dare to be too arrogant.

  In recent years, the Chinese military has paid great attention to the quality of its troops. During recruitment, while emphasizing political background and physical conditions, the educational level of soldiers is also highly valued. As most soldiers in the military are now from the post-80s generation, and it's not uncommon for those born in the 90s to join the army.

  Starting from the post-80s generation, due to China's reform and opening-up, people have been exposed to more new things and ideas, and cultural and economic exchanges between countries have become very common. This has destined the soldiers of the 80s and 90s to be part of the reform and innovation faction in terms of ideology. Moreover, the high-level leadership of the Chinese military has also deliberately carried out reforms within the army.

  As a result, over the past decade, the source of China's military personnel has shown a trend towards higher education levels. While improving the quality of the troops, the management of the military has also undergone some changes.

  Xiao Lie belongs to that kind of person born in the 80s and 90s, so he counts as both. Also because of his growth experience, he has the down-to-earth quality of the post-80s generation and the pride of the post-90s generation. When he saw some officers looking at him with a different gaze, his somewhat sensitive heart became stronger instead, and a sense of not giving up emerged.

  After a change of heart, Xiao Lie also stood up naturally. What if he was just a soldier? On the battlefield, he could still take down generals.

  At this time, another car to pick up the soldiers started, after the car stopped, the door opened, and a person walked down from it. When Xiao Lie saw that person clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.
