The night at the military port was very quiet. The moonlight shone on the surface of the sea, and the seawater shone with a silver light. The jumping waves hit the ship's side, constantly making moving sounds. The warship rocked gently as the sailors fell asleep. Their sweet snores echoed in the cabin. Ah Hui was lying on the third floor, but she couldn't sleep. The strong and energetic marines at the dining table were always active in front of him. Their present was their future. The different expressions on the faces of those respectable retired veterans with wrinkles had also left a deep mark on Ah Hui's heart. They were old. They had dedicated their youth to the sea. It was glorious! A few years later, like them, I dedicated my youth to the sea. This was the beginning of my life as a real marine. Ah Hui thought of the training regiment and the clerk. That was not the real life of the navy. However, it was a good place for Ah Hui, who needed to study. Other than work, she had plenty of time to study. If she worked there for another two years, she would be able to finish her high school curriculum. This was Ah Hui's dream. However, the commanders of the Second Squadron would not like a clerk who studied hard all day and read books when he had time. They needed an honest and loyal soldier who served them. Actually, this was not an unresolvable conflict in Ah Hui. As her superior, with a little guidance from them, Ah Hui could do it well. But they didn't say anything and pushed Ah Hui out. The regiment sent them a new document. That's good too." Ah Hui thought about it and fell asleep.
Ding, ding, ding. It was the bell for waking up.
The cabin was tense. No one spoke, only the sound of clothes being put on. Then, they climbed up the ladder and gathered at the dock to run. After running, he returned to the ship to wash his face. Meals were called back in shifts and eaten in the cabin. The main course was bread and rice porridge, and the dishes were four dishes and one soup. Life on a warship was different from life on land. It was called " Navy Stove."
After breakfast, the day of training began. First, he cleaned the deck and cabins. After the environment was cleaned up, he opened the cannon suit and cleaned the cannons and ammunition boxes according to his duties. Then, it was time to learn and practice.
" What cannons have you learned?" Squad Leader Yan asked Ah Hui.
Ah Hui took out a small red book from her pocket and said to the class monitor,"This is my graduation certificate." The class monitor took it and flipped it open. In the results column, he had full marks for all the exams. He laughed in surprise. Full marks. We should all learn from you!”
"No, no, we did learn some theories in the training group, things from books. "However, I haven't touched a real cannon yet. I have to learn from my comrades. I have to learn well," Ah Hui blushed.
"Of course, but your theoretical foundation is very important. Let's learn together." The class monitor's small eyes swept over Ah Hui's body. Seeing his broad shoulders and ruddy face, he thought to himself that this young man was quite strong and agile. He would be the best reloading player. He said,"You can be the reload!"
Liu Decheng, who was standing next to him, was happy. He said," Alright, he'll load the gun, and I'll aim." He was a five or six-year veteran. He was tall and strong, and he was a gunner on the warship. Squad Leader Yan quickly said," You can't change your profession. When the enemy comes tomorrow, you'll still have to be the reloading man. Ah Hui is a reloading player because he wants you to guide him.”Liu Decheng smiled. Ah Hui went up to hold his hand and said,"I'm very happy to be with you, brother. Take care of me."
The first round of the exercise was Liu Decheng's operation. He was from Dalian, tall and strong. His movements were steady, skilled, and accurate. After that, he let Ah Hui practice. Under Squad Leader Yan's command, Liu Decheng pulled the bolt, and Ah Hui loaded a shell into the barrel. Cai Nianping handed the second shell to Ah Hui. Liu Decheng pulled the bolt, and Ah Hui quickly loaded the second shell. Squad Leader Yan looked at the two recruits. Their movements were accurate and they had a tacit understanding. He was very happy. He thought to himself that this training was not in vain. If he trained properly, he would become a good cannoneer. When Liu Decheng pulled open the bolt and withdrew the second shell, he said," The shell-pulling device is damaged!" Squad Leader Yan immediately ordered loudly," Change the shell-pulling tool!" Ah Hui quickly returned the shells. Cai Nianping had already taken out new spare parts from the spare parts box and handed them to Ah Hui. Ah Hui nervously removed the broken one and replaced it with a new one. The class monitor looked at the stopwatch and said," 3 minutes." Due to nervousness, Ah Hui and Cai Nianping were sweating profusely. They walked up to the class monitor and blushed. Class monitor!"
" It's alright. Let's watch Liu Decheng do it. Watch it carefully." The class monitor shouted loudly," Change the shell-pulling tool."
When Liu Decheng heard the order, as if he had been electrocuted, he pulled the bolt and removed the shell. At this moment, Li Zhaoyang handed the spare parts to him without any delay, and he skillfully changed them. The class monitor looked at his watch. The class monitor asked Ah Hui and Cai Nianping,"”
" Too fast, too nimble. I'm impressed, impressed," Ah Hui said excitedly.
Squad Leader Yan called everyone together and said," Remember, damaged shell-pulling devices are the most common faults of cannons. The faster the faults were eliminated, the more time they would have to fight. So you have to practice more."
There was a basketball court on the dock. Playing basketball was one of the sailors 'favorite sports. Whenever the warship docked, there would often be basketball matches. There was always a competition between classes, departments, and sometimes warships. There was always a lively scene at the dock every day. One afternoon, they had originally agreed on a front and back cannon competition. When they were about to go on stage, the former cannon captain, Jiang Xuewen, said that some of them were busy and that they were missing two people. They could not compete. We'll meet again another day. Anyway, it's just for fun. If you don't compete, then others will. Later on, Hang Hai and Guan Tong contacted each other and had a match. Zhou Shaohua, the squad leader of the range-finding squad, was a veteran. He ran fast on the court and shot accurately. Before they went on stage, Squad Leader Yan told Ah Hui," Just watch him. Watch him." Ah Hui stared at Squad Leader Zhou as if she was carrying out an order. No matter how fast he ran, Ah Hui would run as fast as him. Wherever he ran, Ah Hui would nail him. In the game, he did not score a single goal, but Ah Hui scored two three-pointers.
Sergeant Gao Zhenming watched the battle and cheered. He was surprised to see Ah Hui jump up and score a shot. He exclaimed," Ah Hui, you're really good!" In fact, Ah Hui loved to play basketball when she was in school. During the break time or on Sunday, as long as there were people on the court, Ah Hui would be jumping around. Sometimes during self-study, everyone was in the classroom, except for Ah Hui's seat. He was practicing his blue throw on the court alone. The thing he practiced the most was the three-pointer jump shot. He stood far away and jumped up to shoot. Then, he ran up to pick it up and threw it again. He often practiced this move and indeed improved. Five or six out of ten shots. One afternoon after class, during free time, the class E team played ball with the teachers. It was not an official game, but because Principal Li Guanshan was on the field, it was particularly eye-catching. Many people gathered around the stadium to watch the show. In the panic, Ah Hui snatched the ball. Two or three people from the other side came up to snatch it. Ah Hui was stunned. With her back to the basket, she threw the ball and shot. The ball went in with a whoosh. It was a three-pointer. The court was filled with cheers, praising Ah Hui for her accurate shooting. Actually, this time, Ah Hui had thrown the ball blindly with her back to the basket. It was a coincidence. However, he did not waste his time practicing basketball in school. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to attend the basketball match on the warship.
