The reason why Xu Sanduo was able to become a soldier was that, on the one hand, his mother left a last word before her death, that she must be a soldier if she gave birth to a son. On the other hand, it is also inseparable from the persistence of his father Xu Baishun, as well as the encounter with a similar background and a very sympathetic Shi Jin.
Although Shi Jin also patted his head and was annoyed after calming down, he had already promised Xu Baishun, so he could only smile bitterly.
Of course, Shi Jin's promise to Xu Sanduo to enlist in the army was not just because he was too pitiful and wanted to save him who was always scolded. More importantly, he also saw that Xu Sanduo had the potential to be a soldier, not only because Xu Baishun said that he listened to the command. It is also because Xu Sanduo is smart and studious, honest and kind, as well as super memory and strong physical strength.
However, why is it that with the favor of Shi Jin, Xu Sanduo's performance in the recruit company is so poor?
Yang Jiaofeng talks about the second issue of the "Soldier Assault" series of articles: Xu Sanduo, who is self-disciplined and hardworking, why does the performance of the recruit company be so poor?
One
After Xu Sanduo got Shi Jin's promise and confirmed that he could become a soldier, he should be happy, but he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
On the one hand, from Xu Sanduo's heart, he didn't want to be a soldier, but wanted to continue studying. He not only told his father Xu Baishun about this, but also told his junior high school teacher, and even told Shi Jin.
It's a pity that as soon as this idea is said, it will either be a meal or it will be directly ignored, even if Shi Jin hears his thoughts, it only resonates:
"I can finish this junior high school, it is carried out by carrying a beating, every time I buy a homework book, I have to get a broom and a lump in exchange!"
This also caused Xu Sanduo to no longer insist on going to high school, because in his opinion, this wish was impossible to come true. After all, even Shi Jin, who seemed to be powerful in front of him, failed to go to high school.
Since there is no hope of going to high school, what are the benefits of being a soldier for Xu Sanduo?
Xu Baishun has always said that as long as he becomes a soldier, he will be able to eat the emperor's food, and he will have the opportunity to be distributed after being discharged from the army, and he will get a town hukou, and he will not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life.
But for Xu Sanduo, this wish is too far away after all, and he can't feel it, and it's not what he wants.
What really aroused his desire to be a soldier was precisely the fact that he failed to go to high school, and Shi Jin, who was a soldier, said something like this:
"My dad doesn't beat me anymore anyway, he's older, so chattering, and he likes to say at every turn: Oh, fourth, it's the most promising of our old historians!"
Yes, this ending is the most urgent need for Xu Sanduo, who is still beaten and scolded as a turtle at this time.
Two
Therefore, when Shi Jin finally took advantage of the strength of the wine to say that he asked for Xu Sanduo, and no longer allowed Xu Baishun to fight his own soldiers again, Xu Sanduo was a little in a trance.
The feeling was so good that he walked on the country road no longer with his head down as he used to and enjoyed the congratulations of the passing villagers. Even, even the drama flower of the drama "Soldier Assault", that is, the young woman with a basket on her back on the country road, looked back at Xu Sanduo and smiled.
It's a pity that this beautiful feeling was broken in less than two seconds by the Chengcai group standing on the hillside:
"Xu Sandu!"
Many people didn't understand the plot behind it, that is, after Xu Sanduo was "saved" by his second brother Xu Erhe, he saw the village chief who was writing slogans, and then walked up to him and said silently:
"Fourth uncle, let's let Chengcai go...... Let Chengcai be a soldier, I won't go. ”
As a result, he was scolded by the village chief, who do you think you are, you can go whoever you want, the army is run by your family. Then he was pulled to the sign he was writing, saying that he was already the public property of the state:
"If you cut down trees, you will go to jail, and if you don't go, you will go to jail!"
That's right, Xu Sanduo still enjoyed this feeling of being picked by Shi Jin, why did he suddenly mention that he didn't want to go here?
Very simple!
Because Xu Sanduo is kind!
He subconsciously thought that there could only be one person in their village who would be a soldier, and if he went, then Chengcai would not be able to go. Otherwise, why would he be a soldier, and the whole village would look up to him, but Chengcai would still lead someone to beat him? Moreover, before beating him, he also asked a special question:
"Xu Sandu, I heard that you are going to be a soldier?"
Three
In fact, judging from the relationship between Chengcai and Xu Sanduo in the back, he let his friends catch Xu Sanduo, probably saying goodbye to the past!
Yes, from now on, he and Xu Sanduo are both soldiers, and they are from the same village, so they should take care of each other. Moreover, in terms of the self-superiority of the talent, he also feels that he has the obligation to bring a lot of things.
To be honest, although the later Chengcai is a bit selfish, he is indeed sincere to Xu Sanduo:
No matter what ideas Chengcai has or what achievements he has achieved, the first person to share it is Xu Sanduo; Xu Sanduo did not perform well in the recruit company, and Chengcai also taught him what to do, although the effect was not good in the end; Xu Sanduo went to the regiment headquarters from the fifth class of the grassland, and Chengcai invited him to dinner, and took him to see chariots and tanks, which was not to show off, but to sincerely think about Xu Sanduo.
Maybe it's because Xu Sanduo has always behaved relatively dullly, and Chengcai will not regard him as an opponent at all, but as a friend!
Therefore, I (Yang Jiaofeng) felt that before Chengcai left the village as a soldier, he once again asked his friends to control Xu Sanduo, and let everyone get up in time, and he wanted to talk to Xu Sanduo. There is a high probability that they are both going to be soldiers, and if we will be together in the future, it is a pity that Xu Erhe, who happened to be passing by, was stirred up.
It's just that in Xu Sanduo's view, this move is that he has grabbed the place to become a talent, which causes him to be angry and angry, and he wants to clean himself up.
Moreover, this concept did not change until Xu Sanduo got on the train and was suddenly slapped from behind by Cheng Cai:
"Three nerds, scared you to death, right?"
Xu Sanduo was also surprised:
"Why did you get up?"
Four
In the play, there is no dialogue between Chengcai and Xu Sanduo on the train, but in the novel, there is.
At that time, the soldiers of the recruit company cried together, and Xu Sanduo even hugged Chengcai, and the two of them cried bitterly. For this reason, Xu Sanduo also confessed to Chengcai, saying that he was sorry for Brother Chengcai, because he reported to the squad leader that Chengcai had copied his cheat sheet when he was in junior high school.
Chengcai cried even louder, and also confessed to Xu Sanduo, saying that he told the squad leader that Xu Sanduo did not dare to watch the killing of pigs.
Of course, in addition to Xu Sanduo's fear that he would snatch the place to become a soldier and hesitate to go, more importantly, he is nostalgic and has always been afraid of the upcoming new environment.
This is also why when he arrived at the recruit company, he asked the "platoon commander" Shi Jin before the class, hoping to divide him into a class with Chengcai; when he arrived at the fifth class of the grassland, he was appreciated by the regiment commander because of the road construction, and he said that he would not leave anything; and then to the seventh steel company, he was left alone, Yuan Lang asked him if he wanted to go to the A brigade, and he also said that he was the 4956th soldier of the seventh steel company......
That's it, in line with the desire to no longer be scolded by his father, no longer beaten by his father, and no longer bullied by others, Xu Sanduo finally became a soldier!
However, the director is also poisonous enough, they are all soldiers, and they specially arranged for the two gangsters to find trouble with Xu Baishun. What's even more interesting is that even at this time, Xu Sanduo's legs trembled, and he only dared to mention the name of the second brother, hoping to suppress the two gangsters.
If we watch the drama carefully, we can see that Shi Jin is quietly watching how Xu Sanduo deals with this problem. It wasn't until he found out that this kid was still so cowardly, and he had been seen through by the gangsters, so he had to help.
Including Xu Sanduo in the back, he rushed over to fight, Shi Jin was a cold bystander, but unfortunately, Xu Baishun stopped him.
Five
In fact, how much Shi Jin hopes that Xu Sanduo can be tough, so that he can not be so cowardly, and beat up those two gangsters.
And Xu Sanduo's move was more of a performance for the squad leader, because he found that after he was deflated, he set his eyes on Shi in the future, and Shi Jin deliberately looked away, with a look of hatred for iron and steel.
Including the train behind it, Xu Sanduo was still struggling to kill the two hooligans, Shi Jin said:
"That's enough, Xu Sanduo!"
Obviously, he was still seen through by Shi Jin, but the reason given by Xu Sanduo was that his father actually called himself a son, you must know that he had never shouted like this before.
I won't talk nonsense, in short, Xu Sanduo left his hometown like this and became a glorious soldier.
It stands to reason that his own conditions are not bad, and he has the "platoon commander" Shi Jin in the recruit company, and the "squad leader" Wu Liuyi to take care of him, plus Cheng Cai came over from time to time to ask him about it. But why is the training performance so poor, not only despised by the high company commander, but also unable to keep Shi Jin, who is begging for hardship?
Indeed, Xu Sanduo's experience in the recruit company is really worrying, and perhaps the director also deliberately hid Xu Sanduo's advantages in order to form a sharp contrast with his later explosion.
In fact, the training subjects of the recruit company are not as shown in the play, but only focus on describing a queue. For example, take a break, stand upright, turn left in place, turn right, turn back, step in unison, step forward, and so on. In fact, there is also a big thing to do is physical training, weight-bearing, running, wrestling, single parallel bars and so on.
Six
In the recruit company, at least in terms of physical fitness, culture, and willpower, Xu Sanduo is no worse than others!
Indeed, as far as the queue is concerned, Xu Sanduo is relatively stupid, he can't master the skills for a while, and he is prone to mistakes. However, it is impossible for the recruit company to have no physical training in the later stage, and with Xu Sanduo's character, he will not hide his bad performance.
You must know that he has good physical fitness and can run, which has been recognized by Shi Jin in Lower Banyan Village. It's a pity that in the recruit company, the company commander Gao can't see it, and Wu Liuyi, who has never admitted defeat, can't see it. In other words, when Xu Sanduo guarded the Seventh Company of Steel alone, Wu Liuyi came over to compete with him. After all, as a soldier of a reconnaissance company, cross-country with heavy loads is a very important assessment indicator, and Wu Liuyi's transfer to non-commissioned officer also depends on this.
Secondly, in the recruit company, there is not only training, but also some cultural classes. Before the training of the recruit company, the company commander Gao said that the mule was pulled out and slipped, and Xu Sanduo took out the dictionary that night to check the meaning of the mule.
Interestingly, the dictionary that Xu Sanduo took out in the play is crumpled, it is written in the original book, which was given to him by Teacher Ma, and the cover is written - award to Xu Sanduo, an outstanding student in the third class of junior high school!
Although he also showed his memory once in the play, it was a pity that it was self-defeating and he was punished for copying the "Confidentiality Manual" three times. But he showed excellent memory in front of the high company commander, and it was not a big mistake, just a little reminder, but unfortunately it was artificially ignored.
As for willpower, not to mention, the whole drama shows a lot of strong willpower from beginning to end. In the fifth class of the grassland, people still insisted on exercising every day, and when they were alone in the Seventh Steel Company, even the company commander Gao gave up on himself, but they did not give up, and even the last exercise, he went to the end.
Seven
Even Xu Sanduo was the least good at the recruit company, and he was criticized many times by Gao Company Commander and Wu Liuyi for his military posture, and later he was recognized by the regiment commander.
At that time, he also asked Xu Sanduo, where did you learn your military posture from, and why is it so standard, Xu Sanduo replied:
"New, new, recruit company!"
This is a problem, Xu Sanduo's physical fitness is super good, and even Wu Liuyi once fought against him. Even if the military posture is poor at the beginning, after three months of training for recruits, they can always achieve a passing score, after all, the regiment commander recognized it later. In addition, he also showed excellent memory in front of the high company commander, and later performed it once in front of the regiment commander and won high praise.
Why did he perform so poorly in the recruit company, so that when he returned to the Seventh Steel Company later, the company commander Gao asked Shi Jin, what advantages and value did he have, but if you tell one thing, you can keep him.
Shi Jin was quite energetic at the beginning, but he hummed for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence:
"I don't see it yet!"
You must know that later Xu Sanduo wanted to go to the Seventh Company of Gang, and He Hongtao, the instructor of the Third Company, was surprised and reluctant to let him go. In the original novel, the later He Hongtao also wanted to dig back Xu Sanduo, saying that he was a great long-distance runner, and with him, coupled with the success of sprinting, he could suppress the entire division.
So back to our question, He Hongtao, as the instructor of the recruit company, can see that Xu Sanduo is a great long-distance runner. Then why, Gao Lian Commander, Wu Liuyi, and even Shi Jin can't find many advantages?
Eight
Excluding the author's writing technique and the director's deliberateness, I (Yang Jiaofeng) think that the reason for this phenomenon is that there is a problem with Xu Sanduo's mentality.
Xu Sanduo was born in a poor mountain village, and after graduating from junior high school, he never went out at all. Even followed his second brother Xu Erhe to the town to inspect the soldiers, and his father said that he was going to see the world.
Because he has little experience, it is strange to see everything, and when Shi Jin visited his home, he also said:
"Actually, I still want to read, and there are a lot of interesting things in the book. ”
This also led to Xu Sanduo arriving in the company, where everything was unfamiliar to him. Because of the unfamiliarity, it will be nervous, and when it is nervous, the body will not obey the call, the whole body will be numb, and the military posture will not be able to stand well.
This point was reflected when Wu Liuyi opened a small stove for Xu Sanduo and specially took him to practice standing in the military posture. At that time, Wu Liuyi wondered, you don't circle your legs, why are your legs not together?
Xu Sanduo replied by himself:
"Report to the squad leader, I don't know what's wrong, anyway, this leg can't stand straight!"
Moreover, Xu Sanduo is not hard enough, which was already mentioned when he got on the train. Because he was the one who was bullied since he was a child, he was beaten by Chengcai when he was a child, so he curled up in a ball, guarded the bag of instant noodles to death, and let them beat him. When they grew up, they were beaten by Chengcai, the same move, run first, and if they couldn't run away, they curled up with their heads in their arms.
That is to say, since he was a child, he has developed a habit of protecting himself, of course, the formation of this habit, his friends beating him is a factor, and the most important thing is his father, Xu Baishun did it for no reason. Not to mention usual, just for the plot of Shi Jin's home visit, Xu Sanduo was beaten several times.
Nine
Because he is often beaten, when Xu Sanduo encounters danger, his first reaction is to surrender, raise his hands over his shoulders, and protect his head at any time. This is also why, when he got off the train and saw the tank coming, he made the humiliating surrender that was remembered by the high company commander for a lifetime.
And this action is actually a conditioned reflex formed by Xu Sanduo, who has been beaten for a long time!
In addition to changing the new environment, Xu Sanduo was not very comfortable for a while, and more importantly, he seriously lacked self-confidence!
Many times we can't do it because from the beginning, we subconsciously feel that we can't do it. Just like before, when I lost weight, after exercising for a while, everyone else was able to run 10 kilometers in one go. I couldn't run all the time, and I was worried from the bottom of my heart, thinking that being able to run six or seven kilometers in one breath was the limit.
Until one day I forced myself to run, and I didn't look at the kilometers, so I ran with my head bored, and the last time I looked, eleven kilometers.
Later, Xu Sanduo closed his eyes and wrapped his abdomen around the bar 333, breaking Wu Liuyi's record, which is enough to explain the problem.
In the same way, Xu Sanduo has never been recognized since he was born. Even though he studied well and Mr. Ma gave him encouragement, but when he came to his father, he was beaten back to the original point.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the recruit company, before he started training, he automatically deducted the mule that the company commander Gao said on his head. Later, he was frightened by Chengcai's saying that soldiers with poor performance went to raise pigs, and good soldiers were able to touch guns.
After thinking about it, Xu Sanduo thought that he was the soldier who was going to raise pigs, so he went to Shi Jin in the middle of the night to cry:
"Platoon commander, I don't want to go!"
For this reason, Shi Jin also enlightened him, saying that you didn't make any big mistakes, how could you let you go. As a result, Xu Sanduo was dumbfounded, and felt that even if he didn't leave, it still wouldn't work, so he said again:
"Platoon commander, I don't want to feed the pigs!"
Ten
Xu Sanduo's unconfident performance runs through the whole drama from beginning to end, even when he reaches the fifth class of the grassland, he is obviously better than others, and when Lao Ma enlightened him, he suddenly burst out with a sentence:
"I'm the dog running backwards, right?"
Even later, Xu Sanduo was confused, because he was appreciated by the regiment commander for road construction, and returned to the Seventh Steel Company in a daze, his lack of confidence still accompanied him.
And the concentrated outbreak of this emotion is that Shi Jin asked Xu Sanduo to smash the track, Xu Sanduo said that he couldn't do it, and Shi Jin said that he could do it:
"The squad leader thinks you can do it!"
In the end, seeing that Xu Sanduo was still like this bear, Shi Jin was very disappointed:
"Xu Sanduo, I'm disappointed...... You deceive yourself, you run away, you escape from reality...... I've never been so sad as I am now, you know?"
Finally, after returning from the infirmary, Shi Jin dragged Xu Sanduo out of the chariot and asked him to hammer it. This time the words were much more ugly, saying that they didn't want to recruit you at all, and that you had to come for nothing. You have no way to retreat at all, and you have to pick up the hammer today, and if you don't do it, you can't do it! For you, I, Shi Jin, and the people of the whole company have broken up, and if you continue like this, you will have to leave.
Seeing that Xu Sanduo still didn't dare, Shi Jin became even more angry, and finally scolded the three words that Xu Baishun often scolded - turtle**.
At this moment, Xu Sanduo finally hammered it......
What does this mean?
This shows that when he was in the recruit company, Xu Sanduo didn't know why he came to be a soldier at all. I don't know what I should do to be meaningful.
In fact, Xu Sanduo belongs to the kind of person who has to show him the way and force him to go.
In the fifth class of the grassland, his belief was to build roads, and after this hammer, his belief was not to let Shi Jin's squad leader go, and then later, his belief was not to leave the army.
However, in the recruit company, he didn't even know why he came to be a soldier, and no one told him what to do in order to perform well. As a result, he became a headless fly, bumping around, reciting the company commander's speech, and deliberately going to climb with Wu Liuyi and sell pity to Shi Jin......
This led to the fact that after the end of the recruit company, Xu Sanduo was sent to the fifth squad of the Red Third Company.
Of course, the fact that he was sent to the fifth class of the grassland is actually a bit of an insider, because of the space, let's talk about it next time.
Okay, that's all for this issue of Yang Jiaofeng to talk about "Soldier Assault", if you like it, please click to follow in the upper right corner.
