Who is the Soldier's Assault?

Chapter 36 In-depth interview with Director Zhang

A few days later, at the dawn of dawn, He Hongtao's jeep was speeding along the driveway, and the roar of the engine resounded across the field.

There was a soldier in the car that he had never seen before. This soldier wore glasses. It was rare for anyone in the field army to wear such a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

He Hongtao parked the car outside the No. [-] squad station, and honked his horn with great fanfare until the people from No. [-] class came out.

He Hongtao grandly introduced to everyone: "This is Director Zhang, the number one pen in the propaganda department of our regiment! He is in charge of the regiment newspaper! Come here today to give us a good publicity!"

When everyone saw the military rank, they had no choice but to salute: "Hi sir!"

Officer Zhang, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, returned the salute: "Hello, everyone! Don't call out for someone with a title. I can't bear the chief, and I don't like being called an officer. Can you please tell me, old Zhang?"

Lao Ma, Li Meng and others immediately shouted: "Hello, Lao Zhang!"

Director Zhang raised his face, looked at all the fifth class and said: "I have nothing else to do here today. I think about myself. I interview everyone and add some glory to the group newspaper; I think about everyone and take some pictures for everyone." .As a side note, my camera is a newly added digital camera, no rolls or photo paper are required, and the printing fee is paid by the regiment, and I must send it to everyone after the photo is taken!"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they poked each other.

Li Meng tricked Xu Sanduo into standing guard for him on the grounds that his counterpart needed to be photographed.

Li Bing knew that the person on guard made a good painting, and Li Meng could be regarded as clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

He saw that the instructor and the old horse were sitting silently in the corner inside. The instructor obviously had something to say, but he was still hesitating.

After a long time, the old horse finally spoke, with such a helpless tone: "Instructor, you don't have to be embarrassed, I know, the third-class work must be useless."

He Hongtao was already overwhelmed by the old horse's silence: "It's not that there is no chance, but the spirit of the regiment is like this this year. The limited honors have to be reserved for those who train in the front line. .”

"I know that if it was a few years ago, I would have participated in a few drills or big competitions. If I fight hard, I might have a chance to advance a step. Unfortunately, now I really feel that I am old and can't do it anymore!"

He Hongtao never raised his head to look at the old horse, but looked away: "Old horse, I just feel sorry for you, and I just brought Director Zhang here today, and I just want to raise the issue of road construction... ..."

The old horse sighed: "Don't let it go, instructor. The old horse never wanted to ask for anything from the army. This is the truth, and it is also a self-esteem. Now that I know that there are so many people who treat me well, the old horse is satisfied."

As he said that, the old horse smiled, laughing miserably, laughing so relievedly, and laughing so much that it made He Hongtao feel miserable.

The old horse suddenly smiled, and this time the smile was really cheerful, "Instructor, I'm going to take a photo, the photo will last forever!"

He Hongtao pondered for a while, this one had to be photographed, he looked at the vicissitudes of the old horse's back, and suddenly felt quite moved.

The fifth class was taking pictures, requisitioning all possible props, including the sky, the earth, hills, newly built roads, and old houses.

He Hongtao didn't have the pretensions of a company commander today, he took a photo with the fifth squad, and he felt that this might be the last photo session for someone among them.

Director Zhang became more and more impatient. He intended to interview the deeds of road construction, but he kept being pestered to take pictures.

In addition, the digital camera quickly ran out of memory and became even more impatient: "I can't take pictures, the card is full, and there is no storage space."

Lao Ma doesn't understand the principles of digital cameras: "Can you delete them? Delete some that you don't need, okay?"

Officer Zhang pressed it to him: "Which one do you think can be deleted? This is the head of the regiment, the political commissar of the regiment, the chief of staff... the director of our political department... this is the officers of the battalions and companies at the shooting range... Tell me, which one you want to delete .”

He Hongtao said: "Okay, old horse, Director Zhang also took a lot of photos for your fifth class today, and there are three papers."

"Instructor, you know, Xu Sanduo didn't come, he repaired this road..."

He Hongtao stared fiercely, then gave a look, and the old horse finally held back the last word.

Officer Zhang was a bit tired of routine: "Squad Leader Ma, I am here today mainly to interview you, let's get back to business, I have also seen this road, it is all paved with stones, it is not easy to find so many stones on the grassland It made me feel inexplicably moved, let me tell you, I believe that in your narration of real people and facts, there will be some sublimation."

The old horse thought about it a long time ago, and said directly: "What is the promotion? A year and a half ago, I didn't wait for the promotion. What I waited for was the days and the days. A good squad leader is reduced to a veteran who loves to play cards."

Officer Zhang hurriedly took out a small notebook and wrote down these "vivid" words.

"Half a year ago, I waited for two new recruits. Internal affairs and training killed us veterans to the ground, and educated us veterans! Do you know how this road was built? It was repaired by one person and three people dug and repaired! You don’t know how dedicated Xu Sanduo is. He will classify stones of different colors, build patterns on them, and plant flowers next to them. There is no water here, so he ran for dozens of miles. Carrying water from the water bubbles outside!..."

Li Meng couldn't help but interjected: "Squad leader, the chief doesn't want to hear this..."

The old horse waved at him: "Li Meng, I am not the protagonist in your novel, my fate cannot be arranged by you!"

Officer Zhang looked at Li Meng with great interest: "Li Meng, right? You also like to write novels?"

Li Meng replied pleasantly: "Yes, I want to write a novel about the fifth class in the grassland..."

Before finishing the sentence, Xue Lin interrupted: "Li Meng, your novel has been "cut" before it even started, so there is nothing to say. But Xu Sanduo, I have been annoying him. He came here and brought With the enthusiasm of a recruit company, we veterans hope to live a more comfortable life, and hope that he will become like us..."

Old Wei went on to say: "However, he didn't change, but he changed us. He changed the entire Grassland Class [-]. Sometimes I think, people, you can't keep your head down all the time, you have to look up from time to time. Look at the sky."

Officer Zhang was very interested in hearing this, but He Hongtao just wiped his sweat with a wry smile.

Director Zhang suddenly remembered, scanned the group of people in front of him, and asked, "Where is this Xu...what is Xu?"

"Standing guard." The old horse muttered, and grabbed Li Meng over: "For him! For him to stamp on the post that he should have stamped!"

In the open space far away, the old horse pushed Li Meng over, and a group of people followed from left or right.

Finally, on the horizon, the sentry box and the red flag that meet at the end of the two roads can be seen, and Xu Sanduo's small figure is standing in the sentry box.

Officer Zhang suddenly shouted: "Don't make noise!"

Everyone was so scared that they fell silent.

Director Zhang suddenly yelled again: "Such a scene can't be photographed with an idiot digital camera! What a pity! Wait, wait!"

As he spoke, he smashed his head violently, and took out a large notebook from his pocket.It was a sketchbook, but his pencil was nowhere to be found.

He touched his pocket and muttered to himself: "I didn't bring a pencil? I only brought a broken ballpoint pen! What's the use of a ballpoint pen?"

Everyone also learned how to be good, and dared not say anything.

He Hongtao hesitated for a moment, then took out a pen.

At this time, Li Bing handed over a sharpened pencil.

Officer Zhang held it in his hand, and frantically scribbled on the big book, brushing and brushing, and sketched a sketch in just a few strokes.

The people in class five gathered around to watch.

Li dreamed that he wanted to replace Xu Sanduo, and asked Director Zhang to draw a picture for him.

But Director Zhang stopped him loudly: "Don't move! Don't move at all!"

Therefore, Li Meng and everyone else dared not move.

Officer Zhang finally finished the last stroke, then collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath: "Ah~! It's been a long time since I've felt this refreshing feeling!"

As soon as he finished painting, Lao Wei and Xue Lin ran to the sentry box, hugged Li Bing, and replaced Xu Sanduo.

The old horse said: "Li Bing's military posture is also very good, please draw another picture, sir?"

Director Zhang looked at the tall and straight figure in the sentry box, which was basically the same as the picture he drew just now. There was no need to draw another one, and he shook his head and said, "Today's interview is over, and I have exhausted my drawing inspiration. I will wait until next time." Bar."

A few veterans who were full of enthusiasm immediately felt like eggplants had been beaten by frost. Everyone knew that the next time the regiment headquarters said in the first stroke, it is likely that there will never be a next time.
