In the spring of 2023, I packed my bags and set out on the road to the military. At that moment, my heart was full of anticipation, but I also hid a little apprehension. My name is Li Tiezhu, I grew up in a mountain village, and joining the army has always been my dream.
The days of recruit training seem to have rebuilt people into a different look. Before the sun set, we had to get up, run, exercise, and at the end of the day, our bones would fall apart. But I always feel like I can stand up a little more.
One day, we were practicing fighting bayonets on the playground, and because I used too much force, the bayonet went in the wrong direction and almost injured my comrades. The platoon commander came over and widened his eyes: "Tiezhu, do you want to leave the army early?" ”
I lowered my head and blushed to the base of my ears: "Platoon commander, I'...... I don't dare anymore. ”
"Don't dare? In the world of soldiers, there is no dare, only must! The platoon commander said solemnly.
Since then, I have trained even harder, determined to make a name for myself in the army.
One day, we received an order to go to the border on a mission. Once there, we learned that there was a group of militants trying to penetrate the border with the mainland. Our task is to catch them all.
That night, we quietly infiltrated the enemy's hideout. In the night, I could feel my heartbeat, nervousness, excitement, and a hint of fear.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and the battle began. My comrades and I fought bravely, bullets grazing my ears, but I didn't care about being afraid. Just when we were about to win, one of the militants suddenly pulled out a grenade.
"Iron pillar, be careful!" Comrades shouted.
I didn't have time to think about it, and flew to the grenade. At that moment, I felt as if my life had come to a standstill.
However, just as I was about to grab the grenade, a figure passed me and threw the grenade out the window. The explosion rang out, and we were saved.
It was the platoon commander who saved me. He was seriously injured, but he still smiled and said, "Tiezhu, I didn't misunderstand you, you are good." ”
I burst into tears, and at that moment, I understood the mission of the soldiers, and also understood the friend of life and death.
After that battle, I was even stronger in my convictions. I want to be an excellent soldier to protect the peace of the country and the happiness of the people.
In the spring of 2023, I set foot on the road to the military. This road is full of challenges and hopes. I believe that as long as there is faith in the heart, there will be strength in the feet. And I will continue on this path.
In the days that followed, we patrolled the border line and guarded the safety of the motherland. Every inch of land, every piece of sky, is imprinted with our footprints and oaths. My heart is stronger, and I know that as a soldier, I have a great responsibility.
One afternoon, we were patrolling along the border when suddenly, a rapid radio signal broke the silence.
"Iron Pillar, take a few people, go to the grove to the northeast, there is a group of suspicious elements haunted there." The company commander's voice came over the radio.
I immediately led a few of my comrades and hurried towards the grove. Although I was nervous, it was more of a sense of mission.
Arriving in the grove, we spotted a group of suspicious individuals preparing to cross the border. When they saw us, they immediately scattered and fled.
"Separate chase!" I shouted, scattered with my comrades, and chased them.
I chased after a tall, lanky man, who ran as fast as he could, but gradually lost his strength under my tenacious pursuit. Finally, in front of a ravine, he stopped and looked at me breathlessly.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" I held up my gun and warned him.
He hesitated, then slowly raised his hand. I was about to arrest him when suddenly, a burst of gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the dirt at my feet.
"Iron pillar, be careful!" Comrade-in-arms Xiao Wang shouted in the distance.
I instantly fell to my stomach and rolled to the side, dodging the next bullet. When I looked up, it turned out to be his accomplices secretly supporting.
"You're surrounded, lay down your arms!" I shouted.
The tall and thin man looked at me, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes, he suddenly threw away the gun in his hand and shouted: "Don't shoot, I surrender!" ”
This scene made me realize that sometimes, courage and wisdom are better than force to solve problems.
After arresting them all, we escorted the suspicious elements back to the camp. The company commander spoke highly of our operation, saying: "Tiezhu, you are decisive and well-handled in this operation, and you are a good seedling. ”
I smiled modestly, but my heart was full of pride.
Over time, I have grown up in the barracks, experienced countless patrols and missions, and each time I have a deeper understanding of the value and meaning of the military.
One day, the platoon commander called me aside, and his eyes were full of anticipation when he looked at me: "Tiezhu, the superiors are preparing to select a group of excellent soldiers for further study, I think you should go." ”
My eyes widened and I couldn't believe my ears: "Platoon commander, you mean ......"
"Yes, go to a higher platform, receive more rigorous training, and become a better soldier." The platoon commander patted me on the shoulder.
A warm current welled up in my heart, which was the trust in me and the expectation of me.
I know that this will be another starting point for my military career, and I will continue to move forward on this road with faith and mission.
Over the next few weeks, I began a more rigorous selection training. Every day before dawn, we had to get up, carry heavy equipment, and start the day's training. Sometimes it's in the jungle, sometimes it's in a simulated battlefield environment. At the end of every training session, I felt like I had been reinvented.
"Tiezhu, you're doing well today, but you're still far from it." The coach's stern eyes revealed a hint of expectation.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and nodded, "Coach, I know, I will work harder." ”
"Hard work is good, but hard work is not enough, you have to learn to use your brain." The coach patted me on the shoulder and turned to leave.
I sat in a corner of the training ground and pondered my coach's words. I know that as a soldier, you must not only have a strong physique, but also a sharp mind.
One day, we conducted a confrontation training that simulated actual combat. I was assigned to the red side and was tasked with capturing the blue position. The battle was extremely fierce, and my comrades and I charged into battle together, making great effort with every step forward.
Just as we were about to succeed, the BLU suddenly launched a counter-charge. My side was in chaos, and I was anxious, but I also knew that I couldn't panic at this time.
"Everyone, follow me, let's go around their side!" I shouted, and with a few comrades, I quickly adjusted my tactics.
We circled to the flank of the blue side and launched a surprise attack while they were not looking. The blue side was caught off guard, and the front collapsed instantly.
After the training, the coach walked over with a satisfied smile on his face: "Tiezhu, your performance today has made me see the potential and wisdom of a soldier. ”
I smiled slightly, but my heart was turbulent. I know that this is the result of my continuous efforts and the goal that I have been pursuing throughout my military career.
Soon after, I received a notification that I had been selected for the Special Forces selection. I was thrilled by the news, Special Forces, that is my hero.
The selection process was extremely difficult, but I didn't back down. I remembered the words of the coach, not only to have a strong physique, but also to have a strong will and wisdom.
After a series of selections, I finally passed the selection of special forces and became one of them. At the award ceremony, I solemnly raised my hands and swore loyalty to the motherland and the people.
At that moment, I realized that my responsibility was even greater, and every step I took represented the strength and dignity of the country.
I embarked on a new journey, facing more severe tests and more dangerous tasks. But I have a belief in my heart, that is, no matter what, I will unswervingly go on, because I am a soldier, and behind me is the motherland, the people, and my comrades-in-arms.
On this road, I will move forward unremittingly, and use my youth and enthusiasm to write my own military chapter.
After becoming a special forces, our training is more rigorous and closer to actual combat. The daily training is full of challenges and dangers, but my comrades and I never flinch, because we know that only through such training can we protect ourselves and our comrades on the real battlefield.
One day, we received a special mission to carry out reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines. A small team of my comrades and I was sent to enemy-occupied territory, and we needed to gather intelligence on enemy forces and provide strategic support to the mainland army.
We quietly infiltrated enemy-occupied territory, carefully avoiding enemy patrols. During a reconnaissance operation, we discovered a secret enemy base. The base is heavily guarded, and the enemy's weapons and equipment are advanced, and the threat to us is great.
We quickly transmitted the intelligence back to headquarters, and then decided to conduct further reconnaissance of the base. During a night raid, we managed to infiltrate the base. Inside the base, we found an important enemy commander.
Just as we were about to evacuate, the enemy suddenly spotted us. A fierce battle ensued, and we were surrounded by enemy troops. At a critical juncture, I decided to lead my comrades to break through.
"Everyone, follow me, we must rush out!" I shouted and led the charge to the enemy lines.
In the fierce battle, we made great efforts, but the enemy's fire was too fierce, and we gradually got bogged down. That's when I saw an opportunity.
"Iron Pillar, are you crazy?" Comrade-in-arms Xiao Zhang exclaimed.
I didn't answer, just clenched my fists and rushed to the enemy's line. In the midst of the chaos, I managed to break through the enemy's lines and open an escape route for my comrades.
We managed to break through, but in the battle, we lost several of our comrades. I looked at them with grief and anger in my heart. I swear I will avenge them.
In the days that followed, we continued our mission, constantly gathering intelligence on enemy forces. In one operation, we managed to capture a high-ranking general of the enemy army. Through the interrogation, we obtained important information and provided important support for the mainland army to formulate strategies.
After completing the mission, we returned to the country. At the celebration banquet, the company commander highly praised us: "Your operation has won precious time for the mainland army, and you are doing a good job!" ”
I was filled with pride, but I knew that our task was not over. As a soldier, we must always be ready to do everything for the security of the country and the happiness of the people.
On this path, I will continue to move forward, and no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, I will not hesitate to meet them. Because I am a soldier, behind me is the motherland, the people, and my comrades-in-arms. I will use my youth and blood to write my own military chapter.
