A few years of youth, a few years of friendship, two years of flowers blooming and withering, two years of poplar leaves turning yellow, two years passed.
Tomorrow was the day the veterans retired from the army. At this moment, the army was no longer as noisy as before. The murderous hissing sound of the training ground in the past had subsided, and the usual hippie laughter between his comrades seemed to have quietly stopped at this moment!
All that was left was the reluctant yet forced smile on everyone's faces!
The 8th Division's headquarters auditorium!
The spacious, bright, and sacred auditorium was filled with all the officers of the 8th Division. The first few rows were filled with veterans who had big red flowers on their chests, collar flowers, shoulder pieces, and armbands that had long been removed. Although they did not have shoulder pieces and their military uniforms decorated with collar flowers looked a little awkward, their straight sitting posture and the iron bones on their faces seemed to be telling others!
"I was once a soldier!"
At this moment, the auditorium was silent. The spacious auditorium was filled with darkness, and one could even hear the breathing of the people in the front row!
As the deputy political commissar announced the start of the conference, the division commander Chang Yuanhang and political commissar Wu Qiming made a report to thank the veterans for contributing to the construction of the 8th Division!
Following the deafening applause, Commander Chang Yuanhang read out the order for the 3rd Army and the 8th Division to be rewarded."
Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, he would refer to the regulations of the army for meritorious service!
In recognition of Comrade Liu Sanwa, Comrade Xu Haoran, and Comrade Chen Feng's bravery and tenacity in assisting the local authorities in capturing criminals!
The division committee will decide and report to the army group for approval! I hereby announce the order:
Comrade Liu Sanwa will be awarded a first-class merit!
Liu Haoran will be awarded a second-class merit!
Comrade Chen Feng will be awarded a third-class merit!
I hope that the above few comrades will not be arrogant or impatient, continue to carry forward the qualities of soldiers, and make new contributions!
Amidst the warm applause, the three of them wore the glittering military medal that the division leader had personally worn on their left chest and performed a solemn military salute to the audience!
After the three of them retreated to the side, Chang Yuanhang read out another promotion order."
In recognition of Comrade Xu Haoran's excellent command, leadership, and heroic spirit in the exercise and arrest of criminals:
After the division committee reported, the group army approved and reported to the military region:
Special exception to promote Comrade Xu Haoran to the rank of Second Lieutenant of the Huaxia Field Army. This order will take effect immediately!
The 3rd Group Army of the Southwest Military Region!
"Hiss!"
All the officers below the stage had incredulous expressions on their faces. A direct promotion from a first-class soldier to a second lieutenant had happened in the past decades, and it had happened during wartime. This was the first time a scorpion had pooped!
Xu Haoran was also shocked. He had become an officer. His original intention was to continue serving for three years before retiring. He had become an officer in such a short time. However, Xu Haoran did not care about that at this time!
He quickly walked over to Chang Yuanhang and took the new epaulets. Then, he said loudly,
"Commander, I want Comrade Liu Sanwa to help me put on a new epaulet! Although he was wearing a soldier's uniform, he did not think much about it and blurted out!
Chang Yuanhang looked at Xu Haoran deeply and seemed to have guessed Xu Haoran's intention. He immediately shouted,"
"Liu Sanwa, now it's up to you to put a new epaulet on Xu Haoran's Wen Zhipei!”
Liu Sanwa's movements were very slow and very light. She slowly put on the new epaulets for Xu Haoran as if she was protecting her own child. She gently stroked the shining silver stars on the epaulets. A few hot tears instantly fell to the ground. From time to time, the veterans below made a slight twitching sound!
Xu Haoran did not follow the script for his speech. He spoke without a script…
When you are about to wear clothes without collar flowers and epaulets to blend into the vast sea of people, you are as ordinary as a grain of sand. However, the loyalty, persistence, courage, and patience of those who had experienced military life would never change. It was the gift of the military camp life that enabled you to not shrink back in the stormy sea, not stop in the difficult times, and to face life with enough courage and wisdom in the face of setbacks and tests. A path of life full of sunshine was extending forward from the green military camp...
On the way from the company to the sentry post, you walked and walked, measured and measured, thought and thought about the years in the army, sang and sang the heroic military song!
The tide rises and falls, sweat like rain to witness the heroic spirit, the moon is full and the moon is waning, the strong character shapes the will steel, the origin and fate are extinguished, the youth and magnificent feelings are written with heart!
Salute! My old class monitor!
Salute! Veterans!
When Xu Haoran slowly said the last word,
Salute!
All the veterans below the stage gave the last military salute in their military career!
Third Company's encampment!
At this time, the company's canteen was already filled with steaming hot food. The delicious food that was usually devoured had become a poison that was difficult to swallow!
That night, the veterans were all drunk. Even those who usually did not drink and had good alcohol tolerance were all drunk. They drank themselves with all their might, pretending that they could still drink. It was so sad. The veterans knew that only by being drunk and sleeping could they stop thinking about the military camp!
Looking at Liu Sanwa, who was still muttering to herself on the bed, Xu Haoran glanced at Chen Feng and said,
"Feng, did you put the money in the class monitor's backpack?”
"Don't worry, Brother. It's a total of 60,000 yuan. You have 40,000 yuan, and I have 20,000 yuan. I secretly put all of them in."
"Brother, why don't you tell the class monitor?”Chen Feng asked curiously,"
"If I say it, do you think the class monitor will accept it?”
That night, Xu Haoye sat in front of Liu Sanwa's bed…!
Zero Morning, 5:30!
When a bus with a glorious discharge from the army and returning home to make great achievements stopped at the entrance of the company, everyone knew that it was time to part! They boarded the bus and headed to the division field to bid farewell to the military flag!
There was no crying, only tears, because she had cried herself hoarse last night. There was only a deep hug and ardent blessings!
" Don't send me off, I'm scared, I don't want to go."
After Liu Sanwa gave Xu Haoran and Chen Feng her last order as the class monitor, the bus slowly left!
"Chen Feng chased him far, far away!"
Only the sound of class monitor echoed in the bright morning sky!
(This chapter is too difficult to write. The author has changed it again and again and thought about it again and again!) I just want to write better! A final salute to all veterans)
