Chapter 15 Section 15 has a lot less to rely on

Without Chen Pai by my side, I always feel empty and less dependent.In the previous training camps, the two of us were always together. In the eyes of many people, how could a second lieutenant and a small private become partners? ——I don’t think it’s because of the military rank or not, but because we are all young people, that is, the “brotherhood” that everyone says works in it.At that time I was not yet 18 years old, he cared for me like a brother and loved me, and I really treated him like a brother. The disappearance of Chen Pai had a great impact on me, but as the competition gradually deepened, the distracting thoughts in my mind disappeared.The competitive young drive made me desperate to get points back in the ensuing games.

At the end of the competition, I got the 21st place, just a little bit away from the 20th place. I can’t remember the exact number, but it seems that the total score is within 5 points; my 3 individual subjects are the first. To some extent, we saved Miaolian's face. Miao Lian's regret and disappointment were not the slightest bit. In his eyes, his two best achievements were Chen Pai and me. First, Chen Pai was admitted to the General Hospital of the Military Region. I didn't make it into the top 20 - which means that I lost my eligibility for the "Spike" special forces by one.

But I don't care about these, because even if I am number one, I will definitely not go to the "Spike" brigade of Lao Shizi. Even if I die, I will not leave my reconnaissance company, my Miao company, my Chen platoon, or There are many of my brothers in the reconnaissance company and regiment.At that time, I didn't know what true love is, but I was very happy to be with them, even if we endure hardships, we are together.I have always been a person who attaches great importance to affection, and I have always been, especially brotherhood. I don’t pay much attention to girls—to put it bluntly, there are plenty of girls in the world, but real brothers, can you How many did you find?When I returned to society later, I never felt like I was in the army, feeling like dozens or even hundreds of brothers all at once—so I cried when I watched "Band of Brothers", because although we I haven’t experienced any world wars, but the affection between soldiers is the same—I can’t help but sigh: “Brands of Brothers” is a well-chosen name!In the future, if I have the conditions, I will also write my own "Band of Brothers", about my gang of brothers, the brothers I miss day and night...

Writing this thing is the most difficult time for me, because I have to stop again and again to stabilize my emotions. There are many things that I dare not recall, and I can’t bear to recall. I often think, if I don’t join the army, what will I do? What should it look like?Perhaps like many college students who have just graduated for a few years, they are playing games heartlessly and happily, but when I become a soldier, these heavy hidden pains are always hidden behind my happiness. Because it's feelings, you say, can it not sink? After the game, I had the chance to ask Miao Lian.How is Chen Pai doing?Miao Lian's complexion was not very good, and finally said that I will give you a leave of absence, you will take the logistics car from the base tomorrow morning to go to the provincial capital to go to the general hospital to see Chen Pai, and come back before dinner.He didn't say anything about the situation, but I could already tell from his eyes that it was not very good. If he didn't tell me what was wrong, I didn't dare to ask.Because I know he is still annoyed by our company's competition results-even if one of them enters the top 20!

But then I knew he wasn't upset about our game anymore— I stayed up all night that night, and I was so excited.I hurriedly worked overtime to write love letters to my partner for Chen, because it's been almost a week, and I originally wrote one a day, but now it's a big deal not to have it for so many days.Although my 18th birthday was still more than a month away at that time, my understanding of girls' psychology was absolutely second to none in our company. Early the next morning, I entered the provincial capital.I won't talk about the feeling of entering the city anymore, as long as you have served in the field army, you will have the same feeling.In the past, I always felt that my temperament was good or bad in the company. This time I really realized that there was a gap between myself and contemporary urban civilization.The sacrifices of soldiers are often not on the battlefield, and the sacrifices in many small places are also very serious. If I am not in this position, I will not have this emotion-because most soldiers feel that these are two worlds that have nothing to do with them. They only have two worlds, the army and the hometown, what about me?I was originally a college student in a big city.

When I arrived at the vegetable market, I said goodbye to the cooking squad leader and went to find Chen Pai.People of all professions have their own professional habits, and the professional habits of scouts are to rely on the map and their own judgment.I bought a city traffic map, and when I gave the money, the aunt smiled and said: "Comrade PLA, let's go!" My eyes were hot at that time, and I really felt like a soldier of the people.I found the location between myself and the General Hospital in the shortest time, and then marked the nearest route. As a result, I saw that there was no direct bus, only the circular bus, which required a big circle.I looked at the bus on the street as slow as an old cow, and thought to myself when will I see Chen Pai?

I wanted to see what Chen Pai was thinking, so I took off the big-brimmed hat, took out the pressure spring inside, put the hat into the satchel, rolled up the sleeves, opened the style buttons of the regular clothes, and rolled up the trousers above the knees. Then start sprinting in that direction. I ran towards the General Hospital of the Military Region. I ran towards my old row. The provincial capital is a big city, and the General Hospital of the Military Region is in another section of the city.The straight line in the middle is about 20 kilometers away in my mind, but I don't know if the scale of this tourist traffic map is accurate.Because it is an extremely flat road and sidewalk, I estimate that one and a half hours is enough to finish the run.And if you take the bus, if there is a traffic jam—because I come from a big city, I know that there are usually traffic jams in bustling cities, and the time is not certain.And I had to see my platoon leader as soon as possible.

Friends in that city, if they happened to be walking on the street I passed by on that day of that year, they would not fail to notice a dark and thin little private soldier running wildly with his head bare and his pants legs rolled up. That little soldier is me. As a result, when I ran about 15 kilometers, I was stopped by pickets scattered on the street in the military region. As soon as the two pickets stretched out their hands, I quickly slowed down and stopped.Hurry up and show them your soldier certificate. A picket asked me, "Why are you running? Why are you wearing military uniform like this?"

I was out of breath: "I...I want to see us...our platoon leader..." They looked at the soldier's card to know which army I belonged to, and then looked at the chest badge of "the annual commemoration of the scouts of a certain military region in the military competition of a certain military region" pinned to my chest. silhouette. A picket asked me: "Are you here to participate in the scouting contest?" I regained my composure a little at this time, nodded and said yes. Another picket said, "What happened to your platoon leader? Where did you go to see him?"

I quickly said: "He is injured, I... will go to the General Hospital of the Military Region to see him." The two pickets looked at each other and said, "To the General Hospital of the Military Region, why are you running here?" I was taken aback: "Isn't it written on the map?" I quickly took it out, I didn't believe I would read it wrong. Scouts misread tourist maps? A picket took a look: "You don't want to see what year it is? This is from the year before last. Where did you buy it from?" I was speechless for a moment. Another picket said: "The general hospital was moved last year, and it is at this location." He pointed it on the map, and my mind exploded. At the other end, the direction I came from was only 3 kilometers away from the general hospital.I didn't know what to say, but I was in a hurry to cry.I rely on!Why is that old lady selling maps smiling so much at me?So you sold me the extruded goods from the year before last? !

Tears came pattering down, my Chen Pai, I want to see you! I turned around and was about to run back. "Hey! You stop!" I turned around: "Squad leader?" One picket said: "Don't run away, your running like this will affect the image of soldiers." I said anxiously: "I want to see our platoon leader, I want to see our platoon leader... I have to go back before dinner!" It was already 11:30 in the morning. There are more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads! The two pickets looked at it and said, "You put on your military uniform." I'll just get dressed. One picket started the three-wheeled motorcycle, and the other sat behind him. I'm still dumbfounded. A picket: "Come up!" When I realized it, I quickly got on the sidecar. The tricycle started. The lights started to turn and the sirens started to sound. We rushed to the general hospital at lightning speed. I was flying like lightning, and on Brother Picket's motorcycle, I rushed to the General Hospital and to my row. I finally understood at that time, what is the truth that all soldiers in the world belong to one family. Although I know that people on the street will misunderstand me as a violator who was caught by them, but I don't care about it. Because, I am getting closer and closer to my schedule.
