Chapter 57 Chapter fifteen

The brave Ning Wei was demobilized, and his dream military career was interrupted. The army is so strange, those who don’t want to leave are expelled, and those who want to leave are refused to leave. The commander of the special reconnaissance brigade, Zhong Yuemin, took off his uniform , changed careers and became a hawker, the contrast in life... Zhong Yuemin's task force went through many unimaginable difficulties, and finally retrieved the document package on the crashed plane from the vast subtropical jungle. In this operation, the task force sacrificed five people, and all five soldiers died of thunderstorms. hurt.Anti infantry mine is a

Very annoying thing, its design idea is not to kill people deliberately, but to blow up some parts of the limbs of the person who hit the mine, so that the enemy can allocate part of the troops to lift the wounded, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of opponents in battle.Under normal circumstances, if the rescue is timely, the person who hits the mine will only be disabled, but will not endanger his life.But it's a different matter without logistical support, especially in the endless subtropical jungle, the wounded will soon die from excessive blood loss.In this operation, except for the engineering platoon leader Zhao Zhicheng who died on the spot when he was hit in the head by a mine clearance, the other four cadres and soldiers all died of excessive blood loss after being injured.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang have not been freed from the pain for a long time after the end of this operation. The death of Wu Mantun really broke their livers and gallbladders, and they were very sad. Ning Wei was going to take a family leave to return to Beijing. This day was a rest day. He asked the company commander Zhong Yuemin for leave. He wanted to go to the streets to have a look and buy some local products for his old mother.Zhong Yuemin immediately approved his leave. Through this action, Zhong Yuemin appreciated Ning Wei very much, no matter how he looked at it, he was pleasing to the eye.Ning Wei's performance in this operation is enough to prove that he is an excellent soldier. His reaction speed and psychological quality are first-rate. If you consciously enter the minefield, the consequences will be disastrous.Thinking about it afterwards, Zhong Yuemin really felt terrified, that minefield was really terrifying, and its density of mines was simply the highest in the world.Zhong Yuemin thought that if all the platoon leaders under him were officers of Ning Wei's level, then this company would be very easy to lead.After this operation, according to the usual summary, Ning Wei was awarded the third-class merit, the only undisputed third-class merit in his task force, and all the cadres and soldiers who participated in the operation believed that Ning Wei’s third-class merit was genuine. Zhong Yuemin even thought that he had been wronged by the third-class merit evaluation.He specifically found the political department for the job Ning Wei proposed. Director Li of the political department has already revealed to Zhong Yuemin that Ning Wei's appointment will come down soon.

Zhong Yuemin felt that it was necessary to talk to Ning Wei first: "Ning Wei, let me give you a letter first, don't sell me, Director Li of the Political Department said, your promotion report has been submitted, It's probably not a big problem, and when you come back from visiting the house, it's almost time to announce it." Ning Wei said: "Thank you, company commander, don't worry, I will do my best. I think being a soldier is the most suitable for me in this life. If I leave the army, I really don't know what to do." Zhong Yuemin said: "Don't thank me. I don't want to get up early. After the order is given, you can bring me a row, so I can save my heart. In the future, you can take my seat, so I can rest assured." Changed jobs."

Ning Wei didn't like to hear it anymore: "Company commander, I really don't like to hear you say that. As the saying goes, the water is too big to cover the bridge. Even if one day I become the company commander, then you may become the regiment commander. I will always be your soldier." Ning Wei's luck was really bad. When Zhong Yuemin and others were promoted, it didn't take much trouble at all. At that time, officers could only be selected from veterans.Unexpectedly, when Ning Wei became a veteran, the criteria for promotion changed. In principle, officers were no longer selected from soldiers.If it hadn't been for the special policy for troops participating in the war after 1979, Ning Wei would have packed his bags and gone home, and he finally got on the last train.

Ning Wei himself also discovered that fate is a very wonderful thing, and sometimes a small matter can reverse your fate.He often wondered which true god he had offended, and fate always played a cruel joke on him at critical moments.If he knew the result of his going to the streets today, he would not ask for leave if he was killed. If he played poker with his comrades in the barracks today, he might still be able to work as a division commander and brigade commander in his life, at least he would not be kicked out force. That day Ning Wei was walking on the street with a satchel on his back, looking around, he found a stall selling red dates, and wanted to buy some red dates for his mother, when he was bargaining with the vendor, he heard a woman crying, Ning Wei was vigilant stood up.

A woman with disheveled hair and blood all over her face was running staggeringly. A burly man with a vicious face chased after her with a stick. The woman with blood on her face was knocked down by the man, and the man beat the woman viciously with a stick. , the woman was beaten and rolled on the ground, screaming again and again... Ning Wei rushed up, grabbed the man's stick and growled, "Stop! Why did you hit him?" The man pulled the stick a few times, and Ning Wei held the stick tightly, without moving. The man punched Ning Wei in the nose angrily.Ning Wei's nose was bleeding, he was furious immediately, and kicked the man's weakness in the air. With a scream, the man flew more than three meters away and fell to the ground hard.

Ning Wei helped up the woman who was being beaten, but the woman suddenly slammed into Ning Wei, cursing: "Soldier, why do you beat my man? I am happy to be beaten. What is your business? I will fight with you!" It's..." Ning Wei didn't pay attention, and was hit on the stomach by a woman and fell down... Ning Wei got into trouble this time. The husband who beat his wife broke three ribs and injured his internal organs.This matter involved a major issue of military-civilian relations, and the local government and the military political department were both very troubled, because the woman who was used to being beaten by her husband was relentless, and the army leader must give an explanation.Zhong Yuemin and Instructor Sun in the camp are like grandsons these days, carrying fruits to the hospital to visit the wounded every day, despite the woman's endless scolding, he and Instructor Sun have finished their good words with smiling faces, but they still have to to understanding.Zhong Yuemin had never experienced this kind of bird-like behavior. He said privately to Instructor Sun: "I finally understand why she was beaten. This bitch deserves to be beaten. Even I want to beat her up."

Instructor Sun said: "Okay, Company Commander Zhong, this matter is already difficult enough, so don't make more trouble, and don't go to the hospital with me from tomorrow on. When I spoke kindly to that woman, I clenched my fists tightly, I was really worried that you would lose control, hmph, Ning Wei is really a good soldier brought out by you." After a round of arduous negotiations, the matter was finally settled. With the mediation of the local government, the army paid a large amount of compensation. The woman also proposed two additional conditions. One was to renovate the house; Ning Wei was sentenced.first article

The matter is easy to solve, just let Zhong Yuemin take a company of soldiers to build a house.The second condition is difficult to deal with. Logically speaking, Ning Wei’s behavior is a righteous act. From a legal point of view, even beating his wife is illegal. As a soldier, Ning Wei should stand up and stop when other people’s lives are threatened. , the troops should also promote and encourage this kind of behavior.The key is that Ning Wei's kick was so powerful that he kicked someone seriously, which made the problem more complicated. If Ning Wei was sentenced based on this alone, it would be very difficult for the army cadres and soldiers to do their jobs , who will dare to act bravely in the future?It is impossible to require soldiers to show their marriage certificates when they stop illegal infringements.

In the end, Director Li of the Political Department came out in person, and both parties made concessions to settle the matter. The army's promise was to deal with Ning Wei's demobilization.The victim said that he could reluctantly accept it and would not pursue it any further. Ning Wei's fate was thus decided. On the day the decision was made, Zhong Yuemin refused to let him make the announcement, otherwise he would also ask to change jobs.After Yilian's instructor Wu Mantun died, a new instructor has not yet been dispatched, and Zhong Yuemin has been taking on the job of the instructor. Zhong Yuemin's uncooperative attitude made Instructor Sun helpless, so he had to come to Yilian himself to announce the decision to Ning Wei. Before the decision to deal with Ning Wei was announced, the soldiers of the company blew up their nests. They all stood up with a bang, which shocked Instructor Sun. They had just finished the mission of narrow escape, and these soldiers were very grumpy. However, cadres with less prestige could not restrain these fighters at all. Instructor Sun looked at Zhong Yuemin as if asking for help, Zhong Yuemin had no choice but to yell, and then suppressed his position. In Lianlianbu, Ning Wei held his head in his hands and sat in front of the table in frustration without saying a word. Zhong Yuemin and several platoon leaders from the company stood aside. Instructor Sun hated iron and said: "Ning Wei, I know you are wronged, but you don't think about it, even if you are brave, you have to ask clearly before you take care of it? This is good, I kicked three ribs The kicks were all broken, and he was relentless. Director Li of the political department went to work in person, his lips were worn out, and he still didn't do it. Ning Wei, you have no brains at all, and you are so ruthless when you make a move. That kick can break a small tree, can you kick people casually? You have caused a big disaster." Zhong Yuemin said with something in his words: "That bitch is used to being beaten, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't get beaten. You insist on meddling in other people's business. Is there trouble now?" The second platoon leader said: "Instructor, I can't figure this out. If I run into it, I have to take care of it. That guy beats people all over the ground with a stick. It's murder. It's a little bit just." Those who are sensitive will take care of it, but who knows that they are a couple?" Instructor Sun said: "Okay, second platoon leader, don't make trouble. If the superior listens to us, it will be fine? The problem is that it doesn't matter if anyone of us said anything about it. It was decided by the Political Department. " Ning Wei suddenly cried sadly: "Company commander, trainer, I beg you, tell my superiors not to demobilize me. I really don't want to leave the army. Even if I don't want to be a soldier, I am willing to continue serving as a soldier." Zhong Yuemin couldn't bear to say: "Instructor, can we go to the Political Department to ask Director Li to intercede? Ning Wei is the best acting platoon leader in our company, and he has excellent military skills. He has made third-class meritorious service in this mission , the order to be promoted is coming soon, we can't just ruin our future like this." Instructor Sun looked gloomy: "Ning Wei, why don't I want to keep you? I've said everything I need to say, and I even pledged my party membership and military status to ask the Political Department to let it go. I promise Ning Wei will learn his lesson, but it's useless. It is impossible to change the decision made by the Political Department, and Director Li even gave me a good reprimand." Zhong Yuemin shouted emotionally: "That's the end of it. A good soldier, if he commits such a thing, he will be kicked out of the army?" The second platoon leader scolded in a low voice: "This Director Li is so fucking..." Instructor Sun yelled, "Shut up! Second Platoon Leader, I think you're missing something." Zhong Yuemin said sadly: "Ning Wei, I blame me for this matter. If I didn't criticize you as a fake, this matter would not have happened. I'm sorry for you..." Ning Wei wiped away his tears and stood up, and said calmly: "Company commander, it's my fate. I have nothing to complain about because of this unlucky incident. If I am demobilized, I will be demobilized. I accept my fate, thank you all. " Everyone stopped talking, and everyone looked at Ning Wei with complicated expressions. At the end of this year, Ning Wei and a large number of veterans were demobilized, and then another group of recruits flooded into the barracks.At this time, Zhong Yuemin also submitted a job change report to his superiors, but he was rejected by his superiors, and he was also criticized, which made him feel very annoyed. Once he went to the headquarters building to look for Zhang Haiyang, but he ran into Director Li of the Political Department in the corridor. Director Li knew Zhong Yuemin very well. He was very happy to see Zhong Yuemin, and warmly invited Zhong Yuemin to his office.When Zhong Yuemin saw that Director Li was in a good mood, he thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he repeated the old tune: "Director Li, I also want to talk to you about changing jobs." Director Li restrained his smile when he heard it: "Who wants to change jobs?" "I want to change jobs." Director Li got angry: "Nonsense, talk to me about changing jobs right now. You can figure it out. Being a soldier is not about going to the park. You can come and leave when you want? It's not up to you to change jobs, it's the organization." After all, if you want to work in the army for a long time, the organization may not let you do it. If you don’t want to do it, the organization may not allow you to leave. Zhong Yuemin, I can make it clear to you on behalf of the organization. Want to leave? No way, you just Do it honestly for me in the army." Director Li turned around and left, while Zhong Yuemin stood there in a daze. Zhang Haiyang gloated at the side and said, "Okay, did you stab a hornet's nest? This military uniform is so easy to take off. Do you understand what Director Li means? If you want to leave, the army will not let you go. When you don't want to leave, the army will not let you go." It's time to blow you away." Zhong Yuemin got frustrated with Director Li, and was naturally annoyed: "Why are you gloating? Don't you also want to be transferred to Beijing?" Are you going to the headquarters in Beijing? " Zhang Haiyang said: "It's over. Since my father passed away last year, the transfer of the Beijing headquarters has become a thing of the past. The tea gets cold as soon as people leave. The people who promised to help in the past don't even answer the phone now. Forget it, I will do it too." I don't want to adjust it anymore, let's mix it up." Zhong Yuemin became excited when he heard it: "No adjustment? Well, next year I will make a report together, and we will change jobs together. This time you have to listen to me. If you and Mantun hadn't hidden Lao Tzu's underpants back then, I would Why are you begging grandpa to sue grandma now..." When Wu Mantun was mentioned, both of them fell silent.After Mandun was killed in battle, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang took a lot of trouble to get Mandun's elder brother Mancang to serve as a soldier in the army. However, Mancang was not as lucky as his brother. He could only serve as a soldier for a few years before being demobilized. He was never promoted. possible.Originally, Zhong Yuemin planned to arrange him in his own company so that he could take care of him, but Mancang only went to school for one year and was basically illiterate. If he hadn't been exposed to the policy that relatives of martyrs could be exempted from enlisting into the army, he wouldn't even be able to serve as a soldier.The reconnaissance unit has relatively high requirements for soldiers, and it is really not suitable for Mancang to stay in the first company, so he was assigned to the engineer battalion.Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang also regularly send some money and military uniforms to their overwhelmed parents, which is all they can do. Emotions belong to emotions, work must be done, and it must be done well, Zhong Yuemin will not leave the company's work aside because of his emotions.As a result, he did a good job. Among the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion, the first company was always the first in various tasks.The superiors believed that Zhong Yuemin still had a way of leading troops, although the company commander had many problems. In the eyes of the superior officer, this guy is a typical alternative character. He rarely gives traditional education to soldiers, and sometimes laughs at the instructor's working methods.If the soldiers were dissatisfied with their superiors, Zhong Yuemin not only didn't stop them, but even complained with the soldiers.After the operation of the task force, Zhong Yuemin was designated by the superior to award second-class merit.Unexpectedly, after a few days, the Political Department heard someone report that Zhong Yuemin actually gave the military medal to a child of a family member who came to the team to play, and the child lost the military medal while playing with it.The instructor was anxious at the time, and wanted to mobilize all the soldiers of the company to look for it, but Zhong Yuemin said lightly: "If you lose it, you lose it. Who wears it? During the Cultural Revolution, the medals were all snatched, and I snatched them a lot. People's medal." The instructor said, "Is this a medal? It's an honor, and it's the highest honor." Zhong Yuemin said: "Nonsense, it's just a souvenir medal. If you like it, if you find it, you can keep it. I will give it to you." Director Li of the Political Department trembled with anger when he heard these things, called Zhong Yuemin to the Political Department and scolded him, Zhong Yuemin looked innocent: "Director Li, it's like I lost my wallet, but the police didn't catch the thief Isn't it unreasonable to arrest me and ask me to take responsibility? Who did I provoke?" Zhong Yuemin also found it strange that fate always played jokes on him. That unlucky Ning Wei loved the profession of being a soldier so much, but in the end the army couldn't keep him.I asked for a change of job several times, but the army refused to let me go. Not only did I not let go, but my position kept changing. I first became the deputy battalion commander, and then became the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion. During this period, Zhong Yuemin also led the army. The reconnaissance unit went to the border area to participate in several special operations. The last adjustment of Zhong Yuemin's position was due to the abolition of the military reconnaissance battalion. The former army reconnaissance battalion under his command was changed to a special reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, and Zhong Yuemin was appointed as the captain of the brigade.Although his position is still on the battalion, the nature of the troops under his command has undergone profound changes. This is no longer an ordinary reconnaissance unit, but an out-and-out special forces. After the establishment of the special reconnaissance brigade, the equipment and training subjects of the special forces have also changed a lot. In the previous reconnaissance battalion, including Zhong Yuemin, no one had received parachute and airborne training. Now these trainings are required for every member. What they have mastered is more than that. The troops are also equipped with rocket-type individual aircraft and powered parafoils. These new equipment are new equipment that the old scouts have never heard of before.As the team leader, Zhong Yuemin not only needs to train the troops, but even himself needs to be retrained, so he had to let go of changing jobs first. While Zhong Yuemin was busy trying to change jobs, Yuan Jun unexpectedly discovered that sometimes pies would fall from the sky.
