"Peng Zheng!"

"arrive!"

"Lin Dahai!"

"arrive!"

I heard the name again. This time I took a quick step, holding my big backpack, and even helped Peng Zheng, the stinky brat, jump out of the military vehicle with two bags, and stood under the military vehicle in a military posture that I thought was good. In front of me was a sergeant with a rank of thick bars and two thin bars.

I took a slow train for a day and a night, and I stopped all the way to get recruits from all provinces and cities. The carriages were full of recruits. I couldn't tell if I had been on the military line, but I had enough energy for me this day and night, so I finally survived. Now I feel very energetic. Besides, my backpacks have been reduced by nearly half. In addition, I am as strong as I recover my strength, which makes me really not very angry.

As for the reduction in the backpack, one-half of the troops was given by the armed forces, most of the people brought in the house were food, and a day and night were enough for these young men to use these things to vent their remaining energy. Anyway, we were all recruits who joined the army at this time. The officers and veterans of the troops who led the army did not know which troops we would be assigned to in the future. They were very kind to us. Basically, as long as they were not too much, they could allow us to move freely. They even smoked our cigarettes and talked about the mountains and taught us how to get along with our comrades in the army.

But after getting off the Beijing station, thousands of new recruits, led by their respective officers, got on the military vehicles of various numbers and began to divert. I had already known many fellow villagers in City X on the car, but in the end, only Peng Zheng and three other fellow villagers were able to join the same military vehicle with me.

From the military vehicles on the Beijing Station, there were three vehicles and more than one hundred recruits. It seemed that there were from all provinces and cities. They were bumpy all the way, and the tail curtains on the military vehicles were pulled down. I could only see from the gap when the wind blew open the tail curtain. We passed through the city and walked through the town. After driving for nearly three hours, we entered a mountainous area. When we arrived here, we were covered in yellow dust, which made me unable to see the scenery outside the car clearly.

It was not until now that I heard the call and get off the car that I could see that we were in a military camp surrounded by bungalows. Outside the camp was a mountain, a continuous mountain. I could not see the town or the village, but only to see a white road that seemed to extend out of the green mountains and green waters.

What makes me feel a little depressed is that the winter in Beijing is completely different from the winter in the south. The cold is the same cold, and even more so. What is even more upsetting is that the cold wind blowing from the mountain is like a knife cutting. We are so discouraged that we are extremely discouraged. We have reached a poor mountain and bad water, and we don’t know when we can get out again.

"stand at attention!"

After clicking the name, the sergeant asked us to stand in line with the formation, and then issued an order to stand attentively, which made us uncontrollably stand up.

The sergeant's stern eyes swept over the formation we stood in a sparse shape and the military posture that stood at the strange shape. He seemed to have a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and ran over to a young officer with the rank of two-star lieutenant on the side. After standing attentively, he stood there, and after giving a standard military salute, he shouted:

"Report to the company commander, the new recruits have finished their name and there should be 35 people, but there are actually 35 people. The assembly is over, please instruct me!"

This is a lieutenant officer with a handsome face. I feel that he will not be over twenty-five years old. I saw that his body was straight, at least 1.78 meters above 1.78 meters tall, like a strong green pine. After returning a military salute, he said in a deep voice:

"After a moment!"

"yes!"

Without any hesitation, the sergeant saluted another gust to the young officer, turned back with a standard and then took a small step towards us, and then shouted: "Rest a moment!"

Maybe I don't know what a little rest at that time meant, but I also subconsciously spread my legs and stood in the shape of a big scissors. The sergeant had retreated to the side, and seemed to scan me blankly.

"My surname is Kuang. From today on, I will be the company commander of your recruit company!"

Corps Kuang looked at us expressionlessly, but I felt his gaze extremely sharp, without anger, and his might pass through our faces like a blade.

"...When you enter the military camp, you will no longer be an ordinary citizen. You are a soldier, a soldier who can defend your country and solve the problems of the people... No matter what you were in society before, whether you were a genius, a celebrity, or even a hooligan, my responsibility is to train you into a qualified soldier and make you a real man..."

"Report to the company commander, the recruits have already assembled. Please instruct whether to take them back to the dormitory to rest!"

“Bring it back!”

"yes!"

Jian Hai’s powerful conversations mean that we have finally reached our final destination, and we feel relaxed.

"stand at attention!"

But to our surprise, it seemed that things were not over yet. Seeing Company Commander Kuang leave after a simple mobilization of ideas for us, the sergeant looked at us with bright eyes and shouted loudly.

With a thrust, although we have never had regular training in this area, we have learned this basic training of standing attentively and resting in physical education. Looking at the standard military appearance of the sergeant and lieutenant officer in front of us, we couldn't help but feel twelve points of spirit, at least as if it was a little decent.

"After a moment!"

Another urgent order came, and under the conditioned reflex, we all responded immediately. At that time, I didn't know what others did, but I was nervous and stepped on my feet to the side, turning it into a step.

"Is this what you call a breath?"

The sergeant slowly approached us and said with a sneer: "Tell you, from today on, I am your recruit platoon leader. My responsibility is to train you like a man. No matter what kind of city or rural you are, as long as you arrive at this military camp, you will become a qualified soldier."

"You can't even do the right thing for primary school students to stand at attention and rest. So you put all the things down for me and run around the 400-meter obstacle course for 10 laps, and come back and rest!"

After saying the above loudly, he glanced at me with a faint look, and walked up to me and said, "And your breath is the most imaginative, so you can come to our queue. If possible, you can be more creative!"

I looked at the faint cold light in his eyes. I, who was very bold and arrogant on weekdays, didn't talk back to anyone for the first time. At that time, I just felt bitter in my mouth and a cold heart. It turned out that he had been eyeing me for a long time. I vaguely knew that I would have a recruit who would never be happy for three months to train hard.

It was the first day my recruits arrived at the military camp. When we returned from a 4,000-meter run, we had exhausted all the energy I had spent on resting along the way. In addition to the special "preferential treatment" of this sergeant, he inevitably became the most impressive person in my mind.

That day, I remembered that Corps Kuang said a long sentence to us. These words were simple and terrifying, but they were meaningful. Maybe I wouldn't remember a lot of them in the future, but I firmly remembered two short words, one was a qualified soldier and the other was a real man.

I remember that over the past few days, the word "real man" has been around my ears, but I am increasingly unable to understand what kind of person is a real man.

In the days that followed, I gradually learned that Company Commander Kuang, his name was Kuang Baogang. In fact, he was a second lieutenant. Because he served as the company commander of the recruit company, he was qualified to be the rank of lieutenant during that period, and the sergeant was Qiao Chunnan. At that time, he was the acting platoon leader of the recruit company. Although these two people had been with me for a short time, they were unforgettable for me forever and would always be missed by me.

Because, in a sense, they changed my life...
