"Raise your head. Even if there's a bullet coming at you, you have to hold it up like this. Do you understand?!!”Gao Cheng said as he punched Ma Xiaoshuai's head.
"Understood!" Ma Xiaoshuai replied loudly.
This was the military parade held the day before the disbandment of the Seventh Steel Company. It was also the last military parade of the Seventh Steel Company. Ma Xiao Shuai was the 5000th soldier of Steel Seventh Company, and also the last soldier, so he was duty-bound to be the first person to be inspected.
"Begin!"
Following Gao Cheng's voice, the flag bearer carried the flag of the Seventh Steel Company and walked past the remaining soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company. When the flag bearer unfurled the flag, there was only solemnity and sadness in everyone's hearts.
When the flag bearer walked to Gao Cheng's side, Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi walked in neat steps to Ma Xiaoshuai.
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"How many men are there in Steel Seventh Company?"
"Steel Seventh Company has a history of 57 years. In this 57 years, 5,000 people have become members of Steel Seventh Company.”
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"How many soldiers are you in Steel Seventh Company?”
"I am the 5, 000th soldier of Steel Seventh Company. I am proud of myself, and I am proud of the 4, 999th soldier before me.”
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"Do you still remember the senior who sacrificed his life for the country?”
"I remember the 1,104 seniors who sacrificed their lives for the country.”
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"When the battle reaches the last person, do you have the courage to carry this flag?”
"I am the 5, 000th soldier of the Seventh Steel Company. I have the courage to carry this flag and the courage to be the first to die.”
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"Do you have the courage to sacrifice yourself for your comrades?”
"They are my brothers. I am willing to die for my brothers.”
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"No matter who it is, be it a general or a private, as long as they were once a member of the Seventh Steel Company, you have the right to make them remember the seniors of the Seventh Steel Company.”
"I will ask him to remember the seniors of Gang Qi Lian, and I will remember every word I say today.”
"Ma Xiaoshuai."
"Yes."
"Now, recite this song with us. The seniors who can sing this song have all died gloriously. Now, only the soldiers of Steel Seventh Company were left to recite the song. We hope, we hope you can, we hope you can hear the song coming from five thousand throats.”
"Thunderclap, get ready."
"A thunderbolt, a sword, a group of fierce tigers, steel, seven companies."
" The will of steel, the steel man, the iron blood to defend the country and protect the homeland."
"Kill and scare the enemy, the reputation of winning every battle is legendary."
"Attack must be defeated, defense must be firm."
"Stepping on the enemy's bones and singing triumphantly!"
Everyone in Steel Seven Company sang this song with tears in their eyes, even though this song was the last time they would sing together. However, this song would always be sung in their hearts, no matter where they went.
Cheng Cai stood behind a tree with his backpack on his back, watching the last military parade of the Steel Seventh Company. Behind him was the car that sent him to Class Five. When he heard Xu Sanduo and the others reciting Steel Seven Company's couplet, he couldn't help but follow suit.
As he read, hot tears fell from Cheng Cai's eyes. The company commander of Third Company saw Cheng Cheng like this and dragged Cheng Cheng into the car.
Xu Sanduo looked at Cheng Cheng crying as he got into the car. If it was in the past, he would have rushed over without caring. But now, Xu Sanduo felt as if he had been a soldier all his life. A man who had been a soldier for a lifetime could only shout the command and wipe his tears.
Cheng Cai left, stepping on the most narrow road. He said that the road was the squad leader's grave and a paradise for the soldiers who entered later. If heaven was really there, it was only Xu Sanduo's own heaven, the heaven of his pure happiness.
After the military parade, Xu Sanduo went to the armored vehicle repair shop alone. He did the last maintenance on the armored vehicle just like Shi Jin did when he left.
Just as Xu Sanduo was smashing the caterpillar track with his hammer, a pair of hands helped him hold Zhui Zi. Xu Sanduo looked up and saw that it was Wu Liuyi. He knew that Wu Liuyi had always hated him. Therefore, he was very happy that Wu Liu Yi was willing to help him.
"Thank you." Xu Sanduo said sincerely.
"Focus on your work. I don't trust your hammer the most.”Until now, Wu Liu Yi still did not give Xu Sanduo a good look.
When Xu Sanduo heard what Wu Liuyi said, Shi Jin's figure floated into his mind. Xu Sanduo threw the hammer away sadly and sat beside Wu Liuyi in silence.
Wu Liu Yi saw Xu Sanduo's sad look and threw Cone Nail aside. He took out a cigarette and said to Xu Sanduo while smoking,"Three batches have already left. There are only twenty-nine people left in the entire company. Tomorrow, twenty-seven people would be killed by the last cut.”
"Then there are two left?"
"We have to leave someone to guard the dormitory and supplies.”
"Then, then who could it be?"
Wuliu took a puff of his cigarette and said thoughtfully,"In the past, I was afraid to leave, but now it's the worst if I stay.”
"You won't. You've always been great.”
"Better than you?"
"You know, I can't catch up to you even if I beat my horse. I also want to have that kind of honor, but I can't find it. In the beginning, in order not to be laughed at, I worked hard. Later, I worked hard to make the class monitor stay. But now, I'm trying my best to persevere. Vice class representative, let's call it a draw." As Xu Sanduo spoke, he reached out his hand to Wu Liuyi.
"What are you talking about?" Wu Liu Yi didn't even look at Xu Sanduo.
"I know I'm terrible, but we're about to break up. It's better to remember a person's good than to remember a person's bad.”Xu Sanduo listened to Wu Liuyi and tried to make one last effort.
"Don't misunderstand. I have no grudge against you. Three words, she looked down on him. I just don't like you being so muddleheaded every day. You're half in the sky and half on the ground. You're already interested in me just by shaking hands? You're a little too relaxed." After saying that, Wu Liuyi pushed Xu Sanduo's outstretched hand to the side.
Xu Sanduo retracted his outstretched hand and said to Wu Liuyi,""I know you don't treat me as a friend, but if we're not friends, then what are we?”
Wu Liu Yi turned his head and said to Xu Sanduo seriously,""After the class monitor left, I no longer had any friends.”
"I can't convince you anyway. Making friends doesn't depend on persuasion.”Xu Sanduo said dejectedly.
"It's good that you know."
Xu Sanduo listened to Wu Liuyi's words and silently packed up his tools. Wu Liuyi looked at Xu Sanduo's depressed look and couldn't help but tell Xu Sanduo what Shi Jin said before he left,"He said thank you."
"Who is it?"
"He said that you were so sad that he looked like he was dead. He told me to tell you that people can live a meaningful life. He said that some things can only be understood after being injured. He told us to think about this when the time comes.”
"Who is it?"
Wu Liuyi's tears fell as he spoke. In order not to make a fool of himself in front of Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi suddenly put his face into the bucket.
After a while, Wu Liuyi raised his head from the bucket and said to Xu Sanduo with red eyes,""The person who took care of me, the person who asked me to take care of you, the person who made me become the person I am now, the person who made you become the person you are now. Who else can we squeeze out? Do you know why I hate you? Because the moment I saw you, I knew that he would put all his thoughts on you. Because you're more pitiful, more like a lump of mud that can't be helped up than me. There was no other way. He just wanted us mud to take human form and let mud have self-respect and self-love. I really want to be like you, shamelessly following behind him every day, taking up all his time and friendship. My only friend was snatched away by you.”
When Xu Sanduo heard what Wu Liuyi said, he felt a sense of guilt towards Wu Liuyi. He thought for a while. Just as he made up his mind to tell Wu Liu Yi about Shi Jin joining the special forces, Tian Chen stopped him.
"Don't tell me you want to put Wu Liu Yi in danger? The place where Shi Jin is staying now is an absolute secret of China. Not only would China make things difficult for Wu Liuyi, but even foreign forces would find him.”It turned out that Tian Chen had woken up when Wu Liu Yi and Xu Sanduo were talking. Tian Chen had heard every word they said, so he had come out to stop Xu Sanduo.
Xu Sanduo swallowed his words after hearing Tian Chen's words. He said to Tian Chen worriedly,"Tian Chen, after sending the class monitor away, I experienced the disbandment of Steel Seven Company." After thinking about it, I thought that it was too selfish of me to keep the class monitor by my side and let him join such a dangerous unit. Perhaps the class monitor would have a better life after he retired.”
Hearing Xu Sanduo's words, Tian Chen said happily,""I didn't expect you to mature so much while I was asleep. You've finally learned to think for others. Although I don't know if what we did was right, the truth has already happened and can't be changed. What you can do now is to train well and become a person who can protect Shi Jin in the future so that you won't regret your decision.”
Hearing Tian Chen's words, Xu Sanduo said firmly,""I will definitely protect the class monitor. I won't let myself regret my decision.”
Seeing Xu Sanduo squatting there for a long time without saying anything, Wu Liuyi wiped his face and said,""He left. I didn't want to mention him at first. Every time I see you, I think of him. That's why I hate you.”
After Wu Liuyi finished speaking, he got up and walked out. Halfway there, Wu Liuyi turned around and said to Xu Sanduo,"The important thing I wanted to talk to you about is that I've been assigned to the first mechanical infantry company, and I'm still the class leader of the third class. You and the company commander are the ones who will stay behind to guard the place. Just like you said, remembering a person's good points is better than remembering a person's bad points.”
Xu Sanduo looked at Wu Liuyi's back and was no longer depressed. Because he knew what the meaning of his life was. That was to live to protect the class monitor and to live so that he would not regret it in the future.
Just like that, another day passed, and the final moment finally arrived.
