The wild geese flying in the sky ~ yo,

Even if you fly, you can't fly.

A girl who grazed sheep in the distance~yo,

I have been waiting for sorrow that I can’t finish.

Love brother like poplar~yo,

Guarding in the desolate Zhuri River.

The lonely smoke from the Gobi Desert, under the setting sun in the long river, the soldier in the distance sings a song written by himself in a long tune that he learned inappropriately. My name is Lin Qianjun. I am an ordinary soldier now. Today I am the third day from Zhurihe.

Zhurihe is not a river, and there is no river here. Zhurihe is a place name, the transliteration of Mongolian, which means "heart". From the capital, to the northwest, crossing the Yinshan Mountains, along the ancient battlefield route where the Northern Song Dynasty fought fiercely with the Jin soldiers, tirelessly crossed every hill, traveling more than 500 kilometers, crossing mountains, gullies, grasslands, and then a vast Gobi Desert, endlessly, and arrived near the ancient Jin Shangdu site. This is Zhurihe, the Zhurihe Armored Soldier Training Ground in the Capital Military Region. A wind a year, from spring to winter, the 12th level wind blows up sandstorms, which can shave your face and remove car paint.

This is a mysterious place, which is the location of the famous "North China" in the newspaper. It has once occupied the front pages of newspapers and magazines and was highly concerned by foreign military organizations. In 1981, as a representative of an internship student, I briefly stayed here for a while and witnessed the magnificent exercise of the People's Liberation Army North China University code-named "802".

This was the exercise that the army and even the entire Asian history at that time had the most weapons. The troops participating in the exercise included the army, division, regiment, battalion, air force aviation brigade and airborne regiment. Together with the support force, more than 114,000 people were used, and 1,327 tanks, armored vehicles, 1,541 various artillery, 475 various aircraft, and 10,606 various cars. As a front-level defensive battle exercise, the complete idea of ​​the exercise is: the "Blue Army" launched a comprehensive attack on our country through a sudden attack, first of all, with nuclear weapons and long-range aviation troops to defend our country in the depth of its defense.

After violent bombardment was carried out, tanks and armored vehicles were clustered under the cover of the air force, breaking into our "Red Army" defensive position, attempting to seize our strategic location. After our "Red Army" discovered the large-scale invasion of the "Blue Army", we quickly organized and mobilized, entered a state of emergency, and completed the battle in the shortest time, defended our defense, fought tenaciously, covered the country's transfer to the wartime system, and crushed the offensive attempt of the "Blue Army". Compared with previous army-scale combat training, this exercise strives to set the situation complex and reasonable, and clearly reflects the characteristics of insisting on active defense, fighting against strong enemies and basing modern warfare.

After the live-fire exercise, a grand military parade was held, and the parade was held. More than 100,000 officers and soldiers participated in the exercise formed 53 ground teams and 6 air echelons formed by the army, navy and air force. After the military parade, the supreme leader of the Military Commission delivered an important speech, clearly pointing out that "our army is a strong pillar of the people's democratic dictatorship, and shoulders the glorious mission of defending the socialist motherland and defending the construction of the four modernizations. Therefore, it is necessary to build our army into a powerful modern and regular revolutionary army." This speech planned the grand blueprint for our army's reform and adjustment, and marked the entry of our army's construction into a new historical development period.

The smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, and the roar of the golden swords and iron horses has gone away. I can't see the umbrella flowers in the sky that day, only the wind and sand that roared for thousands of years today, and the gossip that people recalled in the memories of the streets and alleys. Zhurihe training ground has returned to its former desolation and silence. In addition to the armored corps training ground, there is also the 258th Regiment of the Beijing Military Region. This is an armored regiment. I am now a soldier from the second platoon of the second company of the second battalion of the 258th Regiment. Both sides and vertically, our squad is to guard the Zhu

An underground oil depot at the deepest part of the Rihe training ground. When training and exercises need to be used, fill it up, and take it away when the training exercises are over. There is a simple road of nearly 30 kilometers away from the regiment headquarters or the training ground. Most of the roads are uninhabited. It is vast, vast to the horizon and the horizon. In addition to the horizon, it is also a horizon, desolate, so desolate that there is no people, green trees, water, and even many places do not even grow grass, which is a large area of ​​Gobi.

When the director appeared, I had a little fantasy, was there any new discovery that required me to change my identity, whether there was a new task that needed to be handed over to me to complete, and even once speculated whether there was any new news on the "butterfly" and needed to be transferred to do something, but fantasy was a fantasy in the end, and it was going to be destroyed. If this shattering was not thorough enough, then when I came to this place where the land was called Zhurihe and the small place was called Camel Camp, even if there was a little remnant, it had disappeared, because there was no one here, there was nothing, and there was no butterfly. This was a desolate land without even a butterfly.

I was secretly flying in Zhangjiakou first, and then a small transport plane secretly sent to a field runway in Zhurihe. There, the military judge handed over the files and procedures that I had modified (forged) to Political Commissar Zeng Ke of the 258th Regiment. Political Commissar Zeng did not say a word to me, and did not look at me more. Without saying a word, he took the regiment guards and staff to the desolate and remote camel camp without saying a word. A place where he was said to have seen wild camels, handed me over to Zhu Gaofei. Political Commissar Zeng pulled Squad Leader Zhu to the room and gave me some careful advice. I was wearing a new military uniform in the carriage in the carriage, carrying the bedding room specially prepared by the regiment, standing foolishly like a recruit who had just left the company, accepting the distance and curious gaze of the new comrades.

After the Political Commissar Zeng Ke finished his instructions, he came out of the room, then glanced at me from beginning to end, reached out and pointed at me with his finger. Seeing that my military posture was OK, he nodded, took two steps before making up his mind to come back and instructed me three times: "Don't walk around, unite with comrades, listen to the squad leader." I held my head and raised my chest and agreed "yes"! Political Commissar Zeng hurriedly left.

When the jeep the political commissar was riding in was gone, and even the dust and smoke that was rolled up by the wheels could not be seen clearly, Squad Leader Zhu walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "Don't stand, you will be comrades who are eating in a spoon from now on, hurry up and enter the house." Then he shouted to the soldiers who were standing outside the house and watching strange things, "What else do you want to see? The political commissar will send a car to deliver things tomorrow, enough for you to see. Come in, hurry up and chew, everyone, welcome new comrades."

Although there are only a few simple brick houses standing in the wilderness, the owner who lives in the house is a model of abide by the internal regulations. He cleans up everywhere and neatly arranged items. He looks at a line horizontally and a line vertically. The beds are square and square for life. In such an environment, I can maintain such military appearance and discipline, which immediately makes me, who is knowledgeable, look at me with admiration.

The veterans came in from outside the house one after another. Although they seemed a little lazy, their overall mental outlook was still good. This scene reminded me of the first time I was in the company after the training of the recruits. Although I reached this point, I unexpectedly felt a little friendly. It has been a long time since I have been doing this for many years. I wonder how those old comrades from back then are still in the army. Many of them should have been demobilized to the local area.

"Come on, everyone will first get to know Comrade Xin. Who is that, please introduce yourself first." Squad Leader Zhu ordered.

I first gave a standard military salute, and then introduced myself: "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Qianjun. Lin is a forest of the forest, a thousand troops of thousands of horses, from Lu Province. Please take care of me in the future."

"Well, although Comrade Lin Qianjun is a new comrade, he is a veteran at first sight. Political Commissar Zeng said that he had made some mistakes and got rid of it. Don't ask the specific situation. Since he has not taken off his military uniform, it should not be a big problem. The superior commander transferred him to our class to serve in the army. This is a test of the organization and a trust in our second squad. Come on, everyone applaud and welcome the new comrade." After Squad Leader Zhu took the lead in applauding, and sparse applause rang out in the room.

"Where are our camel camps in the regiment used to be exiled? Or do we treat us as punishments..." The last soldier who came in at the door complained with dissatisfaction.

"Old Mu, shut up!" Squad Leader Zhu shouted, interrupting the complaint of this man who was not sure whether he was straightforward or not, but must have spoken quickly. Then, he first introduced me to his comrades in the same class.

This young man with dissatisfaction had a duplicate surname, Murong Wu, who was from Alahai. He was still a high school student. He had just changed his career. His background and education were rare in the army. Such "intellectuals" were generally treasures in the grassroots troops. At least they followed the company commander as a small document to avoid the wind and sun. Unexpectedly, they became so miserable that they were the second squad warriors. I guess they would be in his big mouth.

The so-called "residence and revitalize" is the former powerful and powerful scout. I have been in the headquarters for two years and stayed in the core group for a while. I have developed a little bit of the temperament of a military cadre. Even though I was wearing two pockets of clothes from the soldier brother, I still looked a bit like a leader. I didn't even fight any conversations when I first met. It would be fine if I didn't stand it, but I also belittled the Camel Camp and my comrades. What about exiles and labor camps? Are you treating everyone as criminals? No wonder Squad Leader Zhu, who looks approachable, is getting angry.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the next comrade Yue Zhiqiu is also a rare top-notch in the army. He is actually a handsome boy. Even in this environment, he is still very beautiful, with a greasy face, a pair of peach-blossom eyes, and a look that makes girls look good. If he is put outside, he will probably be right. I know why he was put in the second squad. If he is put outside, he will cause trouble for the army. He was polite to me and greeted me warmly.

There is another strong man who is a slutty man with a bit of a fierce look. He is from Yusheng. He seems to have practiced and is the kind of person who loves fighting. He also sees me lightly and says hello casually, he ignores others and is aloof.

Only the remaining one was finally quite normal. A little dull recruit, a little shy, didn't like to talk, called Xu Mu, who obeyed the squad leader and followed suit, but was very polite to me because this was what the squad leader asked.

Seeing me, these new comrades, I already understood what happened to our new squad 2. Murong Wu said something reasonable. This is the legendary "cowherding squad" in the army. Looking at the internal affairs in the house, I couldn't help but be curious about this squad leader Zhu. He has to be so capable that he can manage these soldiers well and look like this!

Finally, the squad leader and everyone clapped my arrival again, and told Yue Zhiqiu to take me to get familiar with the surrounding environment and the sentry. Everyone scattered and worked their own things.

Yue Zhiqiu led me around the house. He didn't know what to say to me, but in the end he put in one sentence to break the boredom:

"You look older than me, then I'll call you Brother Lin, what did you do? You're so unlucky to be sent to us."

"The squad leader said that this question is not allowed to be asked." I calmly answered, and the answers are all ready-made.

"Then what position are you? Company Commander? Battalion Commander?" He didn't dare to think further. Actually, when I woke up in the morning, I was still the Chief of Staff (deputy regiment level). Now I am a soldier. Can I tell the hardships in this?

"The squad leader doesn't allow him to say it." My answer is still ready, just use the squad leader's words to say it.

"What's that? Murong Wu, we called him Lao Mu, and he offended the entire company with one mouth. Li Sanqing beat his fellow villager to the hospital. Just because he made a joke, Xu Mu was Gen Mu, and his business skills were the last in the recruit company. The squad leader wanted him to come over, and he listened to the squad leader. Well, that's it here. After reading it, let's go back." The squad leader's words were very useful. Yue Zhiqiu didn't ask me anymore, but told him everything that his comrades had committed.

"What about you? Why are you assigned to Class 2?" I couldn't help asking him.

Yue Zhiqiu glanced at me:

"I'm so fond of women. The group is afraid that something might happen if I put me outside. I want to put me here and then go back, but my skin cannot be tanned no matter how hard it is." Yue Zhiqiu answered quite straightforwardly.

"Yes! It's also a worry to be too good-looking." I responded.

Yue Zhiqiu suddenly became energetic, as if he had found a soulmate: "Yes! They don't understand. My parents looked like this for me, and I can't do anything about that. What's the point? I'm born with beauty and can't give up. I want to tan and go out early."

I looked at the obviously carefully cleaned face and didn't believe even a punctuation mark in his words.

"Do you smoke?" Yue Zhiqiu smoked me with cigarettes. Daqianmen, it was not bad. I had been wasted for a day. When I came out of the base, I had nothing on my body. Just when I was about to say goodbye, the director stuffed half a bag of the remaining China for me, and I had never had the chance to tick.

"Come on, smoke mine." I took out a wrinkled half-pack of cigarettes from my pocket and handed them over.

"Oh, Greater China!" Yue Zhiqiu was happy, "I haven't even smoked it yet. I've gotten from you. I deserve to be from above. To tell you the truth, our Camel Camp land is about whether it is hard or not, and it is definitely not tired. It's just two words - boring, besides boring or boring... Do you have any hobbies?"

This question suddenly stumped me, and I thought about it carefully: "Host? How do you say it."

Yue Zhiqiu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, looked at the vast wilderness and vomited a smoke ring with melancholy and sighed: "Apart from the things the squad leader tossed, the most free thing here is time, the most luxurious thing is freshness, except boring or wasting youth, or wasting your youth, but you saw it, except stones and sand, except for the four of us, no, five people, you can't see people for dozens of miles. You sit down and lie down, but you are bored, lying down, except when you sleep, when you wake up and open your eyes, you are still bored, bored, so you have to find a hobby for yourself, otherwise you can't live this life. Let me introduce it to you, have those in our class seen it? Murong Wu

In addition to harming others, he also loves to write articles, write everything, poems, prose, novels, and submit papers to others newspapers, magazines and letters for rejection all day, but he has never published them. Li Sanqing is just a martial arts madman who practices boxing, kicks and sticks all day long. Recently, he has become obsessed with internal martial arts, clings to the first place, clings to the first place, and is united in mind, practices qi and health care, and starts to become treacherous, sooner or later. Our squad leader Zhu, his hobby is to prevent us from being idle, and he can squeeze out oil from the stone, and he loves to torture people. Xu Mu is that wood, who is busy building roads recently, and wants to pave a stone road to the regiment headquarters. Yugong moves mountains, and his spirit is commendable, hehehe, they are all stupid guys."

"Yue Zhiqiu, what about you, what are your hobbies?"

"Just call me Qiu Guan, my friends call me that." Yue Zhiqiu began to become serious. "My hobby is singing. My ideal is to be a singer, a singer like Jiang Xiaowei and Li Shanjiang. In such a vast wilderness, I can sing unrestrainedly and temper my singing skills. The breeze and the bright moon are my listeners. I want to practice in seclusion here, and then make a splash and become famous in one fell swoop."

"Yeah, yeah!" I nodded. I usually have a respectful attitude towards people with ideals.

"Brother Lin, it's great. You are really my soulmate. I found that many of my thoughts are really you understand me. You really deserve to be a big shot from above. Then I'll sing a song for you." Before I could react, Yue Zhiqiu fell into a state of sacredness, "Just this!"

"The brother of a revolutionary soldier should pay attention to the three major disciplines and eight items. The first is to follow the command of all actions and be consistent in the pace to win..."

I looked at the Gobi Desert under the twilight. The Gobi Desert made me confused. Now the humans in front of me made me even more confused. "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing wrong?"

I took back all my judgments about Yue Zhiqiu. Even if I bet on the reputation of being an elite intelligence official, I really don’t know him and made subjective judgment mistakes. I know people but not my heart. Yue Zhiqiu was sent to the Camel Camp, a place where birds do not shit, not because he is handsome and prone to making style mistakes, but because:

Others need money to sing, but they need to sing!

As soon as he opened his mouth, he could bring a magnificent chorus of a group that was magnificent, until he collapsed because he couldn't find the tune together. This is such an unbearable problem in the troops that emphasize cooperation and unification and like to sing songs to boost morale.
Chapter completed!
