At 1 o'clock in the morning, company commander Lee Joo-gui inspected the camp for the second time.
The west wind swept the yellow sand and whistled into the courtyard. When Li Zhugui just pushed open the door in front of the building, he was almost dragged out by the strong wind outside, and the door slammed on the wall with a loud sound. His heart tightened, and he closed the door softly.
Li Zhugui inspected everything in the camp, and when he saw the rhubarb in the corner, the instructor Jiang Yuan happened to come over with a flashlight. "It's a big sandstorm tonight." Jiang Yuan said and handed Li Zhugui a mask. "Why did you come down? Just now, you take a look at the camp gate. Li Zhugui took the mask and took the rhubarb to the old coal house. This tacit understanding has lasted for nearly 8 years.
Walk through the boundless Gobi and return to the late autumn of 2015. On the campus of the huge Army Engineering University, Li Zhugui and his classmate Jiang Yuan stood on patrol for the first time. "Pillar, how are you preparing for the discipline competition?" "That problem this afternoon, it hasn't been solved yet, alas, ......" "It's just the preliminary round, let's form a team in the finals!" During the patrol, the two chatted about the subject competition.
Li Zhugui has a solid foundation and is willing to work hard, and Jiang Yuan has an active mind and can always see problems from different angles. The two team up is a strong combination.
After selection, they represented the cadet team to participate in the competition. In the process, the two often discussed together, with a clear division of labor and complementary advantages, and finally won the championship in the final.
At the end of 2016, in the unified examination of army academies, Li Zhugui won the first prize of the whole army's physics subject.
In the autumn of 2017, Jiang Yuan competed with many units in the "Jingwu-2017" military training competition and won the first place in the subject of observation and reporting.
……
There are countless such examples, and in the more than 3 years of Lu University of Technology, they have cooperated in the competition countless times and won various honors.
"Company commander, did you discuss the selection of units for graduation?" The people of the company asked curiously.
"Shortly after the start of my senior year, I went to Wuhan and he went to Xi'an. When it was time for the internship, everyone was enthusiastic about supporting the construction of border defense, so I chose the western region, and Jiang Yuan's guy disappeared when he arrived in Xi'an, and he didn't expect to be assigned to a unit. Lee Joo-gye said.
"Bloody mouths, I don't know who went to Wuhan and forgot the 'old love', I am doing 'Bishi' seriously. When it comes to going to the west, I, like him, am also enthusiastic. Jiang Yuan said.
The vast Gobi, the yellow sand is thousands of miles. Next to the bustling Ancient Tea Horse Road, wind and sand are eroding the gravel everywhere. At that time, Li Zhugui and Jiang Yuan, who were full of enthusiasm to build a military camp, were heading to the hinterland of the Hexi Corridor by train.
After arriving at the grassroots level, they secretly competed with each other. Li Zhugui took the lead in writing from the "old qualifications" of the unit, and through consulting the backbones, he realized joint management in the process of joint consultation and joint construction. Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, found another way, with officers and soldiers taking turns to be the responsible persons, and also achieved joint construction.
A year later, both of them were commended as outstanding officers of the "Four Haves" at the same time.
At the beginning of 2023, Li Zhugui and Jiang Yuan successively went to the company to serve as company commander and instructor.
At first, Li Zhugui grasped management according to the experience of his previous company, and although there were no problems, he did not see any improvement in the regularization of the company for a long time. After Jiang Yuan arrived, the two discussed and believed that they should first gather the strength of the unit and set a goal to strive for.
At the military conference, Jiang Yuan called for the regularization of advanced units, and he realistically analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two points and put forward relevant rectification measures, which aroused applause from everyone.
During that time, Li Zhugui grasped military affairs and took the lead in military training. Physical training, he will always be the vanguard, business training, he follows the backbone and compulsory soldiers to train together, from top to bottom set off a wind of training.
"It's stressful, how can you say it's not stressful? But if you want to do it, you have to do it well! Lee Joo-gye said in an interview.
Jiang Yuan grasped management, and competed with another advanced point on the surface, but in private, he often learned from Zhou Li, the person in charge of the friendly neighboring unit. From the beginning of the renovation of the camp, Jiang Yuan and Li Zhugui took everyone to do it during the day, and they had to complete their respective "tasks" at night.
After a year of hard work, in the year-end appraisal and awards, the company took off the hat of "poverty" and won the advanced unit of "four irons", one person won the individual third-class merit, one class won the collective commendation, and one class won the collective third-class merit.
"During that time, everyone was contributing to the construction of the unit. Renovate the cultural activity room and study room, and build a "Silk Road-Theme" cultural corridor...... This is all thanks to the comrades. Jiang Yuan said in an interview.
At the end of last year, Lee Joo-gui put forward the goal for 2024 at the military conference: to strive for another year on the basis of 2023, strive to obtain another "four-iron" advanced unit, and further promote the regularization of the unit.
At midnight, when the wind carried the yellow sand and made the windows rustle, Li Zhugui took a flashlight from Jiang Yuan's desk.
"It's dusty, be careful." Jiang Yuan reminded carefully......
