Soon, the autumn season was coming to an end, and the September weather had a hint of autumn.
The camp was also a little depressed. It was the parting season again.
When someone came, someone left.
In September, the energetic recruits came to the army with dreams and expectations.
But correspondingly, some people came and some left.
Veterans who had served for a long time or even longer.
These people who had dedicated their youth to the motherland and the people would make choices that would affect their lives.
It didn't matter if they stayed or left, or if their service was earth-shattering.
They had all sacrificed their blood and sweat for the country and the army.
For the sake of the motherland and the people, he had given up his youth and time.
The selection work corresponding to the retirement work was also in full swing.
"There are too many people staying this year.”
In the company, Gong Jian sighed and said with some worry.
He wanted to make everyone stay, but that was impossible.
Every year, the number of people needed to be allocated was different, and there was a limit to the number of people.
It wasn't that you could stay just because you wanted to. The palm of one's hand and the back of one's hand were all meat. This was also the moment when the company's party branch had a difficult choice every year.
No matter who it was, they all had their own brilliance, unless they were people who had been in the industry for two years and still didn't understand.
Otherwise, the commanding officers of the company would more or less have a good or bad impression of him.
After being a soldier for two years, or even several years, there would always be a side that stood out.
It could be military quality, discipline, eloquence, or performance.
As long as there was a direct flash point, you wouldn't have come to try, especially when the quota was tight.
The construction of a company involved many aspects, not only military, but also many other aspects.
"Seven sets of three? It really is."
Li Yang said with a headache as he threw the notice he received after the meeting on the table.
Because the 4th Company was an honorary unit, the number of non-commissioned officers left behind every year was large.
It was also the only unit in the entire Iron Fist Regiment that had a full number of officers.
This year, they were allocated three positions, all of which were left behind from the supernumerary conscripts.
But this year, there were as many as seven people who wanted to win a round. It was very difficult for them to get three out of seven.
"No matter what, let's do a democratic evaluation! The party branch will discuss it when the time comes!"
Gong Jian said a solution that was not a solution. After all, no one was bad. He would be heartbroken if anyone was eliminated.
Those who stayed were not necessarily the best, and those who left were not necessarily the worst.
"Yes! Let's announce the names of the seven people first!
Let them participate in the group's assessment!”
Li Yang said in a deep voice. This was often the most sensitive time.
The selection of officers and the award of meritorious service were the most sensitive times for the entire army.
After all, some people would often abuse their power for personal gain at this time.
Li Yang and Gong Jian wouldn't, and they couldn't, side with anyone, because they were the Company Leader Z.
They wanted to be fair and give all the soldiers participating in the selection of officers a fair environment.
"Okay, Wang Yanbing, go and tell the platoons!
It wasn't a set up, so it didn't involve anything. He told them to be prepared.”
Gong Jian said calmly to Wang Yanbing.
"Yes, sir! Instructor!"
Wang Yanbing nodded and then turned around to convey the order.
The lonely and depressing atmosphere infected everyone, not just the expiring staff.
Everyone else was affected. After all, their comrades who had been together for a long time were about to leave.
They might not see each other again in this lifetime, even though they said they would meet again before they left.
However, once they left the military camp, they would be surrounded by people from all over the world, and it was extremely unlikely for them to meet again.
Other than those who were doing very poorly, there should be two good comrades among so many people!
The saddest thing was that after being a soldier for a few years, no one cared about you before you left.
It was as if your departure was the company's fortune. Such a person was too bad.
No matter how unwilling she was, no matter how much she had slandered him, no matter how much she hated the boring life in the army.
Even if he didn't like to be bound by rules and regulations.
No matter how much he disliked the class monitor, platoon leader, company commander, and instructor's earnest advice, he would not be able to do so.
On this day, when the song of the camel bell rang out, everyone.
Regardless of whether they stayed or retreated, no matter what conflicts they had, everyone fell silent.
Everyone's heart was filled with bitterness. Everyone's heart was filled with heartfelt blessings for those who left.
"At ease! Attention! Company commander, the 4th Sharpshooter Company has assembled and is here.。。
Please instruct me! The platoon leader of the third platoon on duty…"
As usual, the duty officer reported to the team.
However, the difference was that the voice of the attendant on duty was a little sad.
It was not as loud and enthusiastic as before.
That's right! Today, someone would be relieved of his military rank.
Leaving this group that they had spent every day together, he would face his life alone.
"At ease!"
Li Yang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
The duty officer responded loudly, then saluted and turned around to organize the team.
"Tell me about it!"
Li Yang walked to the middle of the line and said in a deep voice.
"Swoosh!"
Everyone in the company stood at attention.
"Please rest!"
Li Yang saluted and said in a deep voice.
Everyone stood at ease as they obeyed the order.
"I don't think I need to say anything more. Everyone knows that some of our brothers will be relieved of their military ranks today.
Although I haven't been in our company for very long, only a little over a year.
However, every comrade was very cooperative with the work of the party branch.
I can proudly say that there are no cowards in our 4th Company.
No matter if you advance or retreat, you will always be the soldiers of the 4th Company, the soldiers that I have led.
I didn't choose you not because you were weak, but because the company had practical needs.
All of you are good soldiers.
Thank you to every veteran for their hard work. Because of you, our 4th Company can have glory.
Because of your silent efforts, we have a strong national defense force.
Because of you, the company's construction is so outstanding.
Thank you! Thank you for your efforts!
Veteran!"
Li Yang said loudly from the bottom of his heart.
His voice was even a little hoarse, and his voice carried the purest reluctance.
At this moment, there was no entanglement of interests, no infighting, only the purest comradeship.
Li Yang straightened his body and solemnly saluted the formation.
"Next, announce the order!
Regimental Affairs, Order No. 48,
He ordered Li Shangshang, Li Zhi, Peng Wei, and the other three soldiers to be promoted to sergeant and corporal.
Ordering Wang Jiexi…After the four of them were promoted to sergeant.
Regimental Affairs, Order 49,
He ordered First Class Soldiers Zhang Xu, Zhang Xin, and Zuo Lulu.。Twelve of them were discharged from active service and awarded the rank of reserve corporal.
Order Corporal Barker. Murdock and Wang Momo were retired from active duty and awarded the rank of reserve sergeant.
I hope all the selected officers will not forget their original mission and be determined to strengthen the army.
In order to realize the dream of the Dragon Country and the dream of a strong army, he had to contribute his strength.
He hoped that all the retired veterans would not fade away. Once a soldier, they would always be soldiers.
I hope that when you return, you will remember the qualities of a soldier.
Contribute your strength to the country's economic construction. I hope you can make new contributions and spread the news of success as soon as possible!
The order was read out! All veterans, please step forward!"
Li Yang's eyes were slightly red, and his voice carried a hint of sadness.
This was his first batch of soldiers, and there were even new recruits he had led before.
He was now a second-grade officer, which was why Li Yang was so sad.
Everyone in the Fourth Company was a member of the Fourth Company's big family.
"Everyone! Salute the veterans!"
After all the veterans stood in the middle of the line, Li Yang growled in a hoarse voice.
"Swoosh!"
All four Sharpshooters raised their right hands in unison and saluted solemnly.
"Salute!"
The retired sergeant, Liu Bangyu, said in a hoarse voice.
He had served in this company for eight years, and he had too many regrets.
If he could, he didn't want to leave either, but there were no ifs in life.
His parents were bedridden and needed him to take care of them.
Sometimes, one couldn't quit just because they didn't want to.
"The ceremony is over!"
Li Yang growled.
Everyone put down their right hands in unison and stood at attention.
The veterans 'glasses were red, and tears were rolling in their eyes.
They did not cry in the face of the boring training.
Facing the harsh natural environment, they did not cry.
They didn't cry in the face of such a vicious enemy.
But at this moment, they cried.
They cried like children because they knew.
Their military career was over, and they could never go back.
The military rank on his uniform would no longer belong to him.
"Sending comrades on a journey
Silently, two tears
Camel bells ringing in my ears
The road is long and misty
The revolutionary life often breaks up
The same parting, two different feelings
Comrade, dear brother
。。。。
Send comrades on their journey
There's a long way to go and many hardships
The sound of camel bells is scattered all the way
。。。。
To live up to the people's upbringing
Comrade, dear brother
Waiting until the spring breeze brings good news
。。。。。。
Waiting until the spring breeze brings good news
We will meet again."
Camel bells were heard from the speakers in the camp. Everyone's defense was broken at this moment.
Even the strong ones were crying at this moment.
At this moment, tears fell from the corners of many people's eyes.
"Remove the military ranks of the veterans!"
Li Yang ordered in a deep voice. All the officers and old non-commissioned officers stood in front of the retired old man.
"Company commander!"
Liu Bangyu, the veteran at the front, said in a hoarse voice.
He was the old man from the Fourth Succession who had seen Li Yang. That year, Li Yang was in his second year, and he was in his first year.
"Take good care of your family. Call me if you have any difficulties!”
Li Yang's eyes were red as he instructed in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir! Company Commander!"
Liu Bangyu shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, what are you crying for? Go back and take good care of our parents!"
Li Yang said with a sob. His hands trembled as he removed Liu Bangyu's military rank.
He took off his standard uniform, leaving only his national defense service badge.
This was evidence of Liu Bangyu's eight years of military service, as well as evidence that he was a veteran.
"Go back and work hard. Call me if you have any difficulties!
Remember, you will always be a soldier of the 4th Company!
They will always be my soldiers!"
Li Yang hugged Liu Bangyu tightly and growled.
