That summer, I was twenty-three years old, and I was the age when my blood was boiling. After 23 days in the army, I did not hesitate to apply for military service. I thought I would become an ordinary warrior, but I didn't expect that because of a speech, the trajectory of my life changed completely.
On that day, the army organized a selection event and asked us, the recruits, to give a speech and show off our talents. I didn't hesitate to sign up, and I had already prepared a draft in my heart. When it was my turn to take the stage, I nervously looked at the chiefs and comrades in the audience, took a deep breath, and began my speech.
"Greetings to the chief, dear comrades-in-arms! I am a hot-blooded young man who loves the motherland, and in order to realize the ideal of defending my home and country, I came to the army without hesitation. Here, I felt the atmosphere of unity, tension, seriousness, and liveliness. Today, I'm going to share with you what I feel about and why I want to be a fighter. ”
My speech was passionate, and my comrades-in-arms in the audience listened enthusiastically. Suddenly, a chief stood up and interrupted my speech: "Young man, you said it very well. But I have a question, can you answer it? ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly, "Chief, please ask questions." ”
"Why did you want to be a soldier?"
"In order to protect the family and defend the country, in order to realize their own value!" I answered without hesitation.
The chief nodded and motioned for me to continue. After the speech, the chief announced a decision: I was hired as a special forces.
In the days that followed, I started training hard. Every day is to push myself to my limits, but I never back down. Because I knew it was my chance to make my dream come true.
One day, while we were training for survival in the wild, we encountered a wave of enemies. They are well-armed and outnumbered. We are stuck on a hill and the situation is critical.
"Don't panic, everyone, we must resolutely resist!" I raised my arms and shouted.
In the fierce battle, I used the skills I learned in the army to lead my comrades to successfully repel the enemy. However, just as we were celebrating our victory, an enemy force suddenly appeared behind us.
"Oh no, we're surrounded!" I was shocked.
At the critical moment, I decisively ordered my comrades-in-arms to divide into two groups, one group to meet the enemy head-on, and one group to break through from the side. After a fierce battle, we managed to escape.
That battle made me stand out in the army. My comrades-in-arms began to admire me, and the chiefs were impressed with me. And I have strengthened my belief: I want to become an excellent soldier and dedicate my youth and blood to the motherland and the people.
During my time in the army, I experienced countless trials and challenges. Each time, I gritted my teeth and stepped forward. Because I know that only in this way can I continue to grow and become a true hero.
Now, I have been out of the military for many years. Those years of burning passion are still vivid. Every time I think back to that time, my heart is filled with pride and gratitude. Because of those 23 days, I not only realized my dream, but also gained valuable growth experience.
Thanks to the motherland and the troops, I have this extraordinary life. In the future, I will continue to carry forward the fine traditions of the army and contribute my strength to the prosperity of the motherland!
Life after being discharged from the army seems to be free of tension and excitement in the army, but the blood in my heart has not cooled down. I found an ordinary job and lived an ordinary life, but that special forces experience was like a brand deep in my heart, always reminding me that I was a soldier.
One weekend, I walked alone on the trails of the city park, thinking about the road ahead. At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang, it was the phone of his old comrade-in-arms Ah Qiang.
"Hey, brother, how are you doing?" Cuong's voice was still so enthusiastic.
"Okay, what about you?" I replied with a smile.
"I'm in charge of a special combat team now, and I'm short of people! Remembering your performance in the army back then, I would like to invite you to return to the team. ”
I froze, and the familiar urge in my heart came back to me. But when I think about my current life, I hesitate again.
"Brother Qiang, I ......"
"Don't hesitate, brother. I know you still have that passion in your heart, and this is your chance. Cuong's tone was firm.
I was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and made a decision: "Okay, Brother Qiang, I do. ”
On the day I returned to the army, I stood on the familiar training ground, looking at the young faces, and my heart was full of emotion. Cuong walked over and patted me on the shoulder: "This mission is very important, we have to deal with an international criminal gang. I am sure that you will be able to lead you to the task. ”
I nodded, my eyes resolute: "Brother Qiang, don't worry." ”
In the next training, I will give full play to the experience of special forces and lead the team members to continue to improve. Our tacit understanding is getting better and better, and everyone is full of confidence.
Finally, that day has come. We were ordered to go to the border and carry out the task of fighting criminal gangs. In the fierce battle, I led my team to charge bravely and wipe out the enemy.
After the task was completed, Cuong held my hand tightly: "Brother, thank you. You are responsible for the success of this mission. ”
I smiled and shook my head: "Brother Qiang, this is what I should do." I am extremely proud to be able to contribute to the motherland and the people again. ”
After that mission, I chose to stay in the army. I know that this is my true home, and here is my mission and responsibility.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I am no longer the young special forces. But my heart is still full of blood, and that loyalty and love for the motherland and the people will never change.
On this path, I will continue to move forward, fearless of challenges, and use all my strength to protect the peace and prosperity of the motherland. Because, I am a warrior, and this is my glory.
The days passed quietly in an intense and fulfilling training, and each day was full of new challenges and opportunities. I found myself finding a new sense of belonging in this special forces team, as if I had returned to the passionate years of my youth.
Early one morning, we were conducting a simulated combat exercise on the training ground. The alarm for the battle suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.
"Assemble now!" Cuong's voice echoed across the training ground.
We quickly gathered our gear and lined up. Cuong's face was serious, and he briefly introduced the mission: "Brothers, I just received an order that a group of terrorists has infiltrated the mainland border in an attempt to cause trouble. Our task is to quickly locate and eliminate them. ”
The task was urgent, and we didn't have time to prepare. I led my team members to the border with only one thought in mind: to defend our homeland and not to lose anything.
After a painstaking search, we finally found the hiding place of the terrorists. As night fell, we decided to go into action.
"Operation Codename: Sword. Be careful and keep the radio silent. I commanded in a low voice.
We approached our target silently in the night, the sound of our heartbeat seemingly echoing throughout the forest. Suddenly, a terrorist appeared in our sight.
"Prepare for battle!" I let out a low shout and the team quickly took their seats.
As the battle was about to break out, we used the darkness of the night and the trees as cover to silently take out a few of the sentries. However, just as we were preparing to go deep behind enemy lines, an accident happened.
"Captain, there are civilians trapped in a terrorist stronghold!" Team member Xiao Li's voice came over the radio.
My heart tightened, and I immediately adjusted the plan: "We must ensure the safety of civilians, and the new plan will be implemented immediately." ”
We cautiously approached the stronghold, and a fierce exchange of fire inevitably broke out. In the midst of the chaos, I led my team to successfully rescue the trapped civilians.
"Captain, the leader of the terrorists has fled into the jungle!" Team member Xiao Zhang reported.
Without saying a word, I chased after him with a few capable team members. In the dense forest, we engaged in a fierce chase with the terrorist leader.
"Stop, or I'll shoot!" I warn loudly.
The leader of the terrorists turned back and raised his weapon with a hideous expression. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, I fired decisively, knocking him to the ground.
The mission was successfully completed, we did not lose a single team member, and we managed to rescue civilians. As we celebrated our victory at the camp, Cuong came over and patted me the shoulder.
"Well done, Captain. You owe the success of this operation. ”
I smiled and waved my hand: "Brother Qiang, this is everyone's credit." We are a team and everyone is a hero. ”
After that operation, our team was more united and everyone was full of confidence and courage. I understand that as a captain, I have a greater responsibility, but I also know that as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
In this challenging and dangerous position, I will take my team members to continue to move forward, and use our sweat and blood to protect the peace and tranquility of every inch of land. Because this is our mission, this is our glory.
In the days that followed, our special operations team was put to an even more severe test. Again and again, and victories again and again, I deeply realized the responsibility and glory of being a warrior. However, on this challenging path, I have also come to realize that every victory is based on the joint efforts and sacrifices of team members.
One day, we received a new assignment to a remote hamlet on a reconnaissance mission. The village is under the control of hostile forces, and the situation is complex and dangerous.
"Captain, this is a difficult task, we have to be extra careful." Cuong reminded me.
I nodded, my eyes firm: "Don't worry, we'll be careful." ”
On the way to the village, we were ambushed by the enemy. Bullets flew everywhere, and artillery fire continued to blow up the sky. We quickly found cover and launched a counterattack. The battle was fierce, and we fought back, but the enemy seemed to be endless.
"Captain, we're surrounded!" A team member's voice was heard over the radio, with a hint of nervousness.
My heart tightened, and I immediately gave an order: "Everyone stay calm, alternate cover, and evacuate in an orderly manner!" ”
In the life-and-death situation, we showed tenacious team spirit. The players cooperated with each other and struggled to break through. After some fierce fighting, we finally managed to repel the enemy, but the losses were not small.
Back at the camp, I looked at the exhausted team members and felt guilty. Cuong walked over and patted me on the shoulder: "Captain, you've done a great job. In this battle, although we paid the price, we also gained valuable experience. ”
I nodded gloomily, mixed feelings. I knew that as the captain, I had to lead the team forward, and I couldn't let my fallen comrades die in vain.
In the days that followed, we stepped up our training and learned lessons. I know very well that only by constantly improving my own capabilities can we better protect the motherland and the people.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I am no longer the young special forces. But my heart is still full of blood, and that loyalty and love for the motherland and the people will never change.
On this path, I will continue to move forward, fearless of challenges, and use all my strength to protect the peace and prosperity of the motherland. Because, I am a warrior, and this is my glory.
