Chapter 8

  Emergency assembly, this matter cannot be left unsaid and must be thoroughly discussed.

  When I was a soldier, I was the number one sleeping dragon at home and created a record of sleeping until 10 am. Then I looked at the alarm clock and continued to sleep. I simply didn't go to class and waited for lunch.

  In short, at that time I liked sleeping as much as pigs like sleeping, and I was absolutely more skilled than pigs, almost to the extent of being a Zhu Bajie.

  It's just like being a soldier, and it actually cured me of this bad habit!

  Not mentioning getting up in the morning to tidy up and do drills, it's impossible to sleep in. The emergency assembly in the middle of the night completely cured my habit of being lazy in bed!

  How about we talk about the first emergency assembly?

  It was three o'clock in the evening when I heard a sudden whistle outside, accompanied by Huang Ming's wolf-like urging!

  Then, chaos erupted in the dormitory, with people rushing around wildly!

  The first emergency assembly in the new recruit training camp made me deeply realize how useless I am!

  The fat cotton pants were finally put on, but the military belt couldn't be buckled no matter what!

  The clothes were also worn together. But somehow I couldn't find the sleeve of the sweater!

  The quilt was tied up, but where on earth did that wide backpack strap go?

  The shoes were put on with great difficulty, but somehow they still felt awkward.

  It's too late now, just leave it like this...

  A password was given, along with some false intelligence that a group of thugs outside were causing an explosion at the Martyrs' Mausoleum, and calling on brothers to rush to reinforce.

  At that time I was so silly, just feeling excited!

  In just a few days, they were in real combat with live ammunition!

  It's time for Laozi to make his move!

  Going home and hanging out with old buddies is just so great...

  Didn't even have time to check if there were any bullets left in the clip, and they've already made a run for it!

  Six instructors led the way in front, twelve responded in the middle, and six brought up the rear. They spread out and followed the white towel shadow in front of them, charging forward.

  There's a guy next to me, still remember he's from Shandong province, came from the old revolutionary base area of Yimeng mountain, his eyes are all green, just like a starving wolf, sticking out his tongue and rushing forward, still muttering non-stop: "ancestors, grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, uncles, elder brothers, second uncles, maternal uncles, third husbands..."

  I'm wondering what's wrong with this guy?

  Rushing out in the middle of the night and fighting desperately, why are all ancestors from eight generations mentioned?

  "Hurry up and ask: 'Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you dizzy from running?'"

  That guy is really something, panting and puffing while still answering me: "My family...panting...fought in the War of Resistance against Japan...panting...the Liberation War...panting...the Korean War...panting...and fought against the Vietnamese devils...panting...all took to the battlefield! Today...panting...it's my turn!"

  I almost fainted at that time!

  This is an ancestral military family!

  No wonder this guy's eyes turned green when he heard that some of the battles were won!

  This is hereditary, absolutely hereditary!

  We ran for about five kilometers and then our instructor gave an order - Left turn!

  Huh?!!!

  Is it just going back like this?

  Those rascals at the Martyrs' Cemetery, were they caught or did they run away?

  No choice... Let's just hug our quilts and run back home!

  Entering the camp's big yard, I didn't lose face yet and was still among the top ten who rushed into the playground.

  I took advantage of the situation and flipped the belt over to check it, after making a fuss for half a day I realized that I had twisted the belt myself. I wondered why I couldn't buckle it up no matter how hard I tried, forcing me to hold up my pants and run for ten kilometers.

  Take another look at the clothes, I said why the waist always feels tight...

  I've put my sweater on inside out!

  The collar was pulled up to my waist, and the two sweater sleeves were swaying back and forth behind my butt like a tail!

  The shoes were also worn incorrectly, with the left foot wearing a Liberation shoe and the right foot wearing a big leather shoe that should have been on the left foot.

  The wide backpack strap was also found, and I was asked to put it in the backpack myself. After a silly struggle, a small section came out...

  Hurry up and adjust, thinking don't lose too much face...

  The team is lined up and reporting in, the instructor comes over to inspect, and as soon as he's done, I'm off!

  My heart was chilled at that time...

  No wonder they say old soldiers have poisonous eyes!

  I almost shrunk my head into my collar, and yet I still attracted an old soldier?

  Kuang Ming came over and pointed with his hand: "Where is your hat?"

  Huh?

  Hat?

  I said how come straight to me and I came over!

  In front of three rows, I was the only one with a big bald head among a row of cotton hats, couldn't help but stand out?

  Got it, a barrage of scolding!

  Scolded and commented, back to dormitory.

  I haven't even taken off those worn-out shoes yet, and that Shandong guy burst into tears with his big mouth open.

  The whole class exploded!

  This guy is really something!

  When throwing the foundation training, a brother on his side pulled off the rubber band for practicing arm strength, and the coach threw it at his collarbone, but he didn't make a sound!

  What's wrong today?

  After asking for a long time, that guy stood up with a embarrassed look on his face, crying and saying: "I'm fine... just my pants... uh-uh... I put them on backwards, can't take them off... oh-oh... I want to pee..."

  The whole class is stunned...

  Quickly unbuttoned his brother's collar, the whole class laughed!

  Those guys are awesome!

  Wearing pants inside out doesn't matter, I guess that guy couldn't find the main entrance and was in a hurry, but seeing him about to rush out, he didn't care about that much, directly pulled down the military leather belt and tied a dead knot on his pants!

  A silly guy came down, relaxed a bit, wanted to pay the water bill but couldn't find the main gate, and even his pants were hard to take off, which made this guy cry!

  In fact, the emergency assembly in this training is basically just a routine, purely to let us know what it means to be vigilant and defend our motherland.

  It's said that during new recruit training, as long as it wasn't a large bunk bed, the instructor in charge would usually sleep on the first bed by the door.

  If you encounter a simpler high-low bed, then it's even more necessary to sleep on the lower berth.

  Veterans after all have experience, really encounter any situation, having a first reaction time is always good.

  Besides, it's also convenient for management, right?

  Anyway, why arrange the layout like this, there are many ways of doing it, just follow the convention!

  One day, before the lights-out signal sounded, Kuang Ming suddenly stood up, put his hat on his head and shouted at me: "Tonight you sleep in my bed, I'm going out to visit some old folks!"

  Huh?

  Even if I'm a new recruit, I should know this, right?

  Not returning to barracks at night is a serious offense!

  Can't you see through his trick of making three rounds of inspection every night?

  Maybe seeing the color on my face wasn't right, Kuang Ming walked over and slanted his eyes: "I'll be back in three to five hours, what are you blindly worried about? Just sleep on my bunk!"

  After finishing speaking, he lifted his leg and left!

  At that time, I was already excited in my heart...

  Didn't dare to talk much more, as soon as the lights-out signal was blown and the electric light went out, immediately went to bed and fell asleep!

  To be honest, with this hanging in mind, I couldn't sleep at all.

  Open your eyes for a moment and look out of the window by the bed to see if Kangming is back.

  Open your eyes for a moment and quietly take a peek to see if there is any light from the flashlight coming out of the room.

  This is simply torturing people...

  It's already past three o'clock, I really can't hold on any longer!

  The high-intensity training during the day is terrifying in terms of physical energy consumption.

  That afternoon, a fully armed off-road subject came again. After running around like an idiot, I was exhausted. As soon as my head touched the bedboard, I fell asleep.

  Whatever, love whoever you want!

  Just as I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep, there was a commotion outside.

  It seemed that someone had quietly walked to the window and gently lifted something, opening the window by the bed silently with a gap of about four fingers wide.

  Then a dark object was gently thrown in and landed on my belly.

  I was puzzled at that time...

  You said Brother Kuangming would come back as soon as he returned, why are you still making this kind of joke?

  What's been thrown in here?

  Almost in a half-asleep state, I sat up and reached out to grab that black thing while planning to lower my voice to greet Brother Ming.

  The words were on the tip of his tongue and he had also grasped that black thing in his hand.

  It's pitch black, I can only see with the starlight outside...

  Damn it!

  Hand grenade, or has the cover been lifted and the string pulled!

  At that time, my brain suddenly buzzed and completely exploded!

  These past few days, Brother Kuangming seemed to have said that our garrison is located in a relatively sensitive area, and from time to time some abnormal situations appear.

  Although no one has dared to steal the camp and pull out, there are still some sneaky things going on.

  Last week, didn't the cooking class lose two bags of flour all at once?

  This is great, the thief has come to our doorstep!

  This was said by that big grandson Jiang Kuan later, at that time I was like a donkey with its head branded with an iron rod, and let out a loud bray - Hand grenade, take cover!

  It's all deserted!

  It was an instinct honed from daily training, and without thinking much, he directly threw the grenade out of the window. The glass shattered into a big hole, and the noise was loud enough to be heard by even the dead!

  One side rolled under the bed, and one side was still puzzled in his heart?

  Are all these sentries dead?

  There are other old soldiers who are usually sharp, strong and agile, one can take down ten Lamborghinis with ease!

  How come nobody reacted today?

  Also have to say that the brothers in the class are clever, one by one they all hid under the bed, just waiting for the explosion to be over and then deal with the situation!

  Waited for a whole ten seconds, but the earth-shattering explosion outside still hadn't sounded...

  This is getting suspicious!

  What kind of grenade is this?

  Isn't it supposed to explode in three seconds?

  Even with a seven-second delay, shouldn't it have exploded by now?

  Forget it!

  Just as he was about to jump out, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and he bumped right into Kang Ming's arms.

  The expression on her face, I still can't describe it even now...

  Seems like holding back laughter, yet seems like carrying some anger?

  Kuang Ming first looked at me, then looked at the hole on the window and shouted in a stifled voice: "Emergency assembly!"

  Normally closing the lights can still play backpacks, this opening lights, isn't it a piece of cake?

  In just a short while, all the brothers in the training camp stood neatly on the playground!

  Then, the head coach gave his assessment.

  Then, bring back.

  It wasn't until the next morning that everyone finally figured out what was going on.

  It wasn't until later, when the training camp was about to end, that Kuang Ming finally revealed the reason!

  That night, the training staff officer came over with a few people and wanted to make an emergency response subject under urgent circumstances.

  To put it bluntly, it's about seeing how many of these new recruits can make accurate judgments in emergency situations.

  That night, the instructors of each class found an excuse to go out and left the new recruits alone in their rooms.

  It was 3 am, when people were most sleepy, that the training staff began to take action!

  They're all old soldiers now, so with a few more stabs of the bayonet, the window opened quietly, and then a hand grenade was lightly tossed into the room.

  Just want to see if these new recruits are all sleepy and have no vigilance at all!

  We've all thrown it away, our class is almost the last room...

  I've realized that I'm being taken advantage of.

  Regardless of whether they were good or bad, he threw the hand grenade back at them.

  It just so happened that at that time, I smashed the head of the training staff officer.

  When this person was frightened out of his wits, the power he unleashed was beyond his own imagination!

  The training staff didn't even hum a sound, and directly fell to the snowy ground, at that time he fainted.

  This time, it can only be a hurry to call someone to send it to the health team. This test of emergency judgment and alertness reaction has also become an ordinary emergency gathering.

  Later on, when I had become a veteran myself, one day while leading new recruits in a training exercise with the staff officers to test their shooting mentality, somehow this matter was brought up again...

  Then a pale-faced staff officer suddenly shouted: "Ah! I was stunned by a mild concussion, and after all the commotion, it's you!"

  This is great, nothing happened, and it really didn't occur to me that the victim was right in front of me!

  Had to go to the military service company, broke my fortune, bought a pack of cigarettes for that brain-damaged brother, and begged him to forgive me for my ignorance when I was young.

  But I didn't lose out either!

  Just one pack of Minyu cigarettes, only about ten yuan.

  Later during the intensive training at the plateau base, I happened to have run out of cigarettes and bumped into Brain Concussion who had just come up from the logistics base at the foot of the mountain.

  No need to say more, all brothers have been stunned, how can you be happy smoking alone with a concussion?

  Then, that wisp of cloud and mist also became mine.
