Chapter 61, My League Headquarters

When the car swayed all the way across the mountain and drove into a valley, the front was an endless sea, and a simple road winded through the front. I saw a large playground. The site was solidly slammed by stones, and trees were planted around it, as if standing sentries were guarding the place. There were two flagpoles in the center of the playground, with national flags and military flags flying on them. In front was a camp with blue tiles and white walls built along the hillside. The first row was a three-story barracks with a door hole in the middle, and a guard stand at the door. There was a sentry wearing a pistol and armed with arms and guards standing.

The car stopped on the playground, and I slowly walked out of the car, put down my luggage, looked up at the buildings hidden in the green vegetation, surrounded by mountains and seas, took a deep breath, saluted solemnly to the military flag flying in the wind, and said softly: "Renminal headquarters, I'm back."

Chen Yu stared at me understandingly and waited patiently for me.

On the playground, several soldiers walking on the side saw Chen Yu and I walking out of the car, carrying my luggage and backpacks, and stopped to watch. Soon they recognized me, shouted my name and went forward to greet me. The one who rushed to the front was to report to the political commissar and the good brother and good comrade Shi Yinlin, who was also aware of me and quickly met him. We hugged each other tightly for no reason.

I was feeling a little out of control and leaned on his shoulder and said, "Thank you, Yinlin, how should I repay you."

Shi Yinlin patted my vest and said distressedly: "I didn't say anything anymore. I haven't seen you for half a year. You have become dark and thin. You have suffered brothers."

Ni Jianping behind him spoke: "Yinlin, it's very hard for Aimin to come all the way. Please send him back to the dormitory to wash, let's have a good chat."

I turned my eyes to Ni Jianping behind Shi Yinlin. He still looked smiling and stretched out his hand to me. I held his hand and said, "Hello, Jianping, thank you."

A gentle comrade next to me also asked me with concern: "Aimin, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't eaten yet, I will go to the cafeteria to get you and the clerk and send it here later."

I hesitated to look at the fair comrade in front of me. I couldn't remember his name. Ni Jianping hurriedly introduced: "Oh, I forgot to introduce him. He is Dong Weichang, and the one behind is Song Haifeng. They are all our fellow villagers in Chongming."

I hurriedly saluted to my two comrades and said, "Hello, Haifeng, please take care of me in the future."

The two of them also replied, "I love the people and are kind to you. We are fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms, as close as brothers."

I savored their words carefully: "Yes, as close as brothers!"

Suddenly, I found a comrade-in-arms standing behind them. He looked at me silently without saying a word. I didn't know why I felt like I had a premonition. This person had some special sensitive relationship with me. I met him in his eyes. None of us talked to each other, just staring at each other like this. However, I saw a little guilt and uneasiness in his eyes. I firmly confirmed that he was the one who dropped me off and went to the farm for half a year to suffer.

When Shi Yinlin saw him, he took my backpack with a dark face and said, "Let's go to your dormitory of the Logistics Department." Just as I was about to leave, the comrade-in-arms took the initiative to take my luggage and then entered the regiment headquarters together.

Suddenly, when I saw the sentry in the booth salute me respectfully, I was surprised to prepare for the gift. Shi Yinlin grabbed me and said, "His name is Lu Zhongxian, and he is also our fellow villager, and they are all our own people."

I smiled at him and saluted a military salute, and the comrades behind me were all happy: "Oh, Aimin came from the grassroots company, which is much more formal than the soldiers in our regiment headquarters. It's not like we are all sparse, learn from you."

Shi Yinlin introduced me as he walked that this is a place under Guoju Town, Zhenhai County, Ningbo City. The place is called Yangjiaao. After climbing a few mountains, it is the resident teaching team of our former recruit company. It is called Sichengao, also known as Yangzhangao. This is the only bus terminal to Ningbo city in the mountains. The bus travels back and forth from here to Ningbo every day. At night, the driver and ticket seller live in our regiment headquarters. The next morning, he sets out from here to Ningbo City. The people nearby take the bus here.

I followed several comrades behind me and looked at the camp of the regiment headquarters, listening to Shi Yinlin's introduction to me one by one. The first building facing the sea in front was the barracks of the headquarters and the Political Department. Standing on the cement platform in the door opening and looking up, the entire regiment headquarters was obviously built after planning, with the cement steps in the middle as the central axis, and on both sides were equal gray barracks. Those barracks were obviously flattened and reclaimed a building built on the ground that was quickly leveled.

The first row of buildings is bounded by the door opening in the middle. On the east side is the office area of ​​the headquarters, on the west side is the office area of ​​the Political Department, on the first and second floors are office spaces, and on the third floor are the dormitory areas of cadres. Walking up several stone steps, there are two buildings on the left, and on the left is also a three-story barracks. On the ground floor is the dormitory of Shi Yinlin and their police platoons, on the second floor is the office area of ​​the regiment leader, and on the third floor is the dormitory of the leaders. The big house with a spire roof on the east side is the regiment.

In the auditorium, two wooden doors were open, and the walls on both sides were neatly written in red and white backgrounds and letters. The quotation was written: "In order to oppose the invasion of imperialism, we must build a strong navy." The other is "Be vigilant and defend the motherland!", which was almost the main slogan and slogan of our naval units at that time. Directly above the door was a naval logo made of cement and painted in navy blue - an iron anchor and a five-star red flag, and at the bottom were three ripples.

After walking through this flat concrete floor, there are more than a dozen steps upward, and there are still two buildings symmetrical left and right.

Shi Yinlin pointed to the three floors on the left and told me: "The above is your logistics department. You will work here in the future. We will eat in the same pot every day."

Ni Jianping pointed to a row of houses on the east side and said, "Here, this is the canteen." I looked in the direction and saw that the long row of canteens were divided into three entrances. I know this. Since I was a child, I often went to their army canteen with my father. I know it was generally divided into small canteens, middle canteens and large canteens. The small canteen is a restaurant where the leader of the regiment eats and receives the superiors. The cadre canteen is a cafeteria in the middle. All the cadres below the battalion eat here, and the largest and most backed by the canteen where our soldiers eat, which is clear. My guess was recognized by Ni Jianping. He patted my shoulder and said punctually: "That's right, you belong to the regiment headquarters, and this is your home." The soldier carrying his luggage behind him lowered his head silently.

Following Chen Yu, he stepped into the logistics corridor. Chen Yu turned around and said humorously to Shi Yinlin and the others: "How is it? Is it time for me to introduce it here?" We all laughed.

Chen Yu introduced me to the south side of the first floor is the office, the north side of the corridor is the cadre dormitory, and the west end is the soldiers dormitory, with three soldiers in the entire office. In addition to me, the incoming correspondent, there is also a purchasing agent and a custodian. Their tasks are to be responsible for purchasing and custodian military supplies from all battalions and companies of the regiment and directly affiliated troops. My responsibilities are to distribute newspapers and newspapers, answer calls and take care of the life of the chief.

The first room on the second floor facing the stairs is the duty room. Chen Yu pointed to the room and said to me: "Xiao Huang, this is your studio and bedroom."

I looked at the room. There were two windows in the room, one facing south and the other facing east. My bed was placed in the southwest corner. There was a chef on the east side of the door. My daily necessities can be placed on both sides, including changing military uniforms, luggage and other items. There was a desk under the east window with two telephones on it.

Chen Yu told me that these two phones, one outside, connected to the superior unit's fleet engineering command and ship, and the other directly connected to the entire regiment's troops. After the introduction, he patted my shoulder and left with a smile.

I sat down slowly, and the heads and comrades of my farm company flashed in my mind, and I couldn't calm down. Shi Yinlin and Ni Jianping were busy helping me unpack, tidying my bed and luggage. The comrade who replaced me to the farm stood at the door awkwardly and didn't know what to do. I could feel his dilemma, but after half a year of hard farm labor training, my mentality improved. I took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with him and said, "Thank you comrades."

Shi Yinlin waved his hand to him without hesitation and said, "You go and do your business, we are enough here." He left very ugly.

As soon as he left, Shi Yinlin closed the door and whispered to me: "It's this guy who dropped you off and farmed on the farm. Don't pay attention to him."

I laughed, without making a sound, sat back on my desk, opened the drawer, and saw that there were still materials for my former correspondent review and preparation for the exam.

Ni Jianping told me that this correspondent who joined the army in the same year as me is a rural soldier from Jiangsu who is determined to apply for a military academy. After hard study, he finally got admitted to a military academy as he wished and can now leave the countryside. In contrast, I don’t have such motivation. I just need to train in the army for a few years. I have never thought about going to a military academy or promoting careers, and it’s useless to think about it.

Chen Yu came over with a basin and asked with a smile: "How is it? Have you arranged it? Go and take a shower and have a good rest." After that, he told me that the second floor is the office area of ​​each department room, mainly the organic transportation department, the financial department, the equipment department, the communication department, etc. The third floor is the cadres and the dormitory area. The department leaders and above all cadres live on the third floor, while the first floor is mostly those staff officers and other platoon-level cadres.

After washing the exercise, Shi Yinlin, Ni Jianping, Dong Weichang and others accompanied me around the regiment headquarters. Behind our logistics office building was a mountain. The dense green vegetation covered our small building with greenery. Shi Yinlin told me that it was very cool even in summer. Our logistics office building is the commanding heights of the entire regiment headquarters. Standing in front of the south-facing window, the entire regiment headquarters was built along the hillside, and it could be seen at a glance. Looking into the distance, the blue sea and golden beaches were beautiful.

There is a circular passage surrounding the group headquarters, which can transport the canteen and logistics supplies to the place located halfway up the mountain, go up to the east and down to the west. On the mountainside above the canteen on the east side, there is a bungalow built alone on it, and a winding stone steps leads to it. Ni Jianping pointed to the small house and said, "This is the switchboard room of our police platoon. We are on duty here to ensure that the communication between the regiment headquarters and the battalions and companies of the entire regiment, as well as the engineering command center and the fleet and other superior departments."

Turning to the west side, right at the foot of the flattened mountain, there was also a row of large flat iron gates on the iron generals, and the words "Warehouse Mainland, no one should enter" were written in white paint. Obviously, this is the warehouse Mainland of our logistics department.

Shi Yinlin pointed to the surrounding camp and told me that this is a place where naval forces are concentrated. To the west of our regiment headquarters is the Fleet Independent Eighth Battalion. We call them the No.8 Battalion, which may be the predecessor of the very popular Marine Corps today. There is also a submarine force to the west, and there are often whale-like submarines on the sea.

The large playground in front of the regiment headquarters is also a place for movies. Once the movies are played, not only will our regiment headquarters and the teaching teams, health teams, and car companies directly under the nearby areas be coming, but the No.8 Battalion and the submarine troops will also watch movies, and often fill the huge playgrounds.

I looked up at the regiment headquarters hidden in the valley Chang Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Regiment headquarters, my military career will open a new page."
