In the barracks, I often hear such a song: "You ask me what is the life of a soldier, I will send you a small shell shell, it has experienced the baptism of wind and rain, and it has also blown a short song, the life of a soldier is like this, there is bitterness and happiness and sound and color..."
In the Chulchut Border Defense Company of the Tacheng Military Subdistrict in Xinjiang, officers and men were in the vast Gobi, in the company of loneliness and loneliness, and accompanied by cold winds and snow. Let's take a look at how their military career has come step by step, and what kind of sour, sweet and bittersweet is hidden behind it.
The "sourness" of border guards -- "heartache"
I remember the golden autumn of September of that year, full of enthusiasm and blood. Thousands of miles away from home, alone as a stranger, this acid is the acid of homesickness. After getting off the train, walking into the barracks, I found that the disgusting nagging in the mouths of my parents had become the deepest miss at this time, and when the familiar voice of the family came from the microphone, the acid was on the tip of the nose, touching the tear glands, and the tears in the eye sockets were out of control. Whenever I have a video call with my family, there are always a thousand words, a thousand words and a thousand greetings, the parents' kind faces are full of wrinkles, and a few white hairs on the thinning hair are sad.
The years go by, and the time of year is fleeting. Silent two tears, the sound of camel bells ringing in the ears, whenever the autumn wind leaves, it is the season of veterans' parting and retiring. Looking back on the past, the old squad leaders on the training ground together, the tacit cooperation in the execution of tasks, and the care of "brothers" in daily life, the picture echoed in my mind from time to time, and my soul haunted my dreams. "Iron camp, flowing water soldiers", we are accustomed to calling the cooking class Liu ban leader old Liu, the 16th year of old Liu service period has expired, to leave this familiar place, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, we eat habitual meals have changed a taste, or miss the smell that Liu Banchang made. "Where in the world is there a feast that will not be scattered", the scene of sending off comrades-in-arms, the heart is ten thousand unwilling, making people sad and tearful.
Heartache contains a different kind of "sweetness" - "sweet"
Looking back on the time when the past was in sight, just as people often say that "the sunshine is always after the wind and rain", the same is true of the hot-blooded barracks, the squad leaders trained hard, strictly demanded themselves, and wrote their magnificent military life with the spirit of facing difficulties and persevering. Whenever the squad leaders stood on the stage to receive the award, holding the medal and certificate, they could always see the joy on their faces.
After several years of military service, let us form an incomprehensible friendship and comrade-in-arms in this life, just like a glass of alcohol, the taste is long-lasting. In life, the squad leader cares and takes care of our new comrades meticulously, can help and encourage in time in the predicament, remember that I accidentally broke my fingers during the training, and the squad leader who has always been strict on the training ground also has a warm side, bandaging and disinfecting for me, whenever I think back, there is always a hot warm current in my chest.
Sweetly speaks of the "bitterness" of the environment - "labor"
In the blink of an eye, the Chulchut Border Defense Company had been living for several years, sending away groups of comrades-in-arms. The environment creates people, and hardships and hardships will produce "strong people". "Chulchut" means "narrow ditch", "look up at the sky, step on the rocky beach, go out on the rough road, everywhere is the mountain", this is the true portrayal of the unit. Although the living environment is so harsh and harsh, we have no words of suffering, and there is something to be done in suffering. In summer, the heat is unbearable, mosquito bites, and in winter, wind and frost and snow nights. The old squad leader who insisted on this looked much older than their actual age. Intense ultraviolet rays and extreme weather leave a mark on our faces, and at the age of eighteen or nineteen, we have a "weathered" face. But we all always practice the original intention when we joined the army, stick to our posts, stand well, perform our duties, keep our responsibilities, and do our best.
In the severe cold and heat, border guards are always on the road of border patrol.
How can there be a lack of "spicy" in labor - "spicy"
There is a saying that goes well, "Bloody soldiers and steel men, the war will have my pillow to wait for Dan", this spicy, is quenched into steel spicy. Everyone came to the fiery barracks with youthful dreams, where passion burned, blood burst and self-transcendence was bursting. To become a bloody soldier, you have to fall in love with the heat that pushes the limits. Here, we temper ourselves over and over again, such as the fiery sun, flying dust, splashing muddy water accompanied by repeated charges, over and over again insisting on constantly refreshing their achievements, 3000 meters, horizontal bars, tactics and other breakthroughs, turning the impossible into possible. Never give up, every action on the training ground burns our hot youth, so hot, full of strength is the military camp. Iron soldier steel man, it is also this different kind of spicy taste that makes us dare to show our swords when we meet the enemy, never accept defeat, and bravely compete for the first.
No matter how hot the pain when injured, it can't stop our determination to continue training.
After appreciating the "sour, sweet, bitter and spicy" of the border guards, I think everyone has understood that the "sour, sweet, bitter and spicy" of the soldiers is a kind of perseverance -- acid is the steel tenderness in the perseverance of the soldiers; sweetness is the youthful vitality of the soldiers; bitterness is the persistence of the soldiers in sticking to their posts; and spicy is the essence of the pride of the soldiers' warm-blooded boys!
In fact, each of us is the same: after experiencing spring, summer, autumn and winter, tasting sour, sweet and bitter, we can finally succeed and achieve the dignity of life!
