Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 175 Rewards
This is the second award in Li Zhengjun's military career.

Group awards.

Although Division E suffered a defeat in the exercise, Hou Jun and the five recruits became the only bright spots in the defeat.

Li Zheng was very happy.

After returning from the exercise, the troops are repaired, and the physical training is stopped during the day. After morning exercises, they walk in the queue and go back to make quilts, and then start to do hygiene.

On the first night back, Li Zheng made another video call to his grandmother and Shao Xiaoqian.

These two are the two closest to him in the world.

When you have won the honor, you are happy, and the happiness is naturally to be shared with the closest people.

Shao Xiaoqian said that she made a third-class merit.

Li Zheng was very surprised.

How long has it been since she was in the company? Shao Xiaoqian is serving in a military hospital, so how can she do meritorious service?

He couldn't figure it out.

At the same time, I feel a little bit behind the frustration.

Shao Xiaoqian said that this was because she won No. 2 in the field rescue skills competition of medical soldiers in the military region, so the army rewarded her.

Li Zheng said unconvinced, you female soldiers, even if you are close to the water, you have more chances to participate in martial arts competitions in the military area. Look at our platoon leader. He has been a soldier for more than eight years, so he wants to fight for one The place to go abroad to participate in the international sniper competition has repeatedly missed the qualifying place.

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help feeling a little more indignant.

I don't know if it's because of myself or because of the platoon leader Hou Jun.

In fact, I used to have a third-class skill beckoning, but Ma Teng shot a bullet that missed the target and hit his target, and also knocked out my third-class skill. Although the result was the best in the end, he only won a commendation.

Commendation...

Another reward this time.

Seeing that he seemed unhappy, Shao Xiaoqian comforted him by saying that she actually didn't feel much sense of honor brought by this third-class function, because it wasn't what she wanted.

Li Zheng then asked: "Then what kind of third-class merit do you want?"

Shao Xiaoqian blinked her beautiful eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Third-class meritorious service like those male soldiers in your army."

Third-class merit for male soldiers?

Li Zheng was a little dazed at first, but then he chuckled and said forget it!You want the third-class merit of a male soldier, you little girl?Do you know how difficult it is for the third class of our army?
Shao Xiaoqian said, I've inquired about it, so don't bluff me, isn't it just to get the ranking in the competition above the division?How difficult is it?
Li Zheng still smiled, a little hilariously.

He thought Shao Xiaoqian was really naive.

Although she grew up in a military family, she is actually a little girl who has never seen the life of a real combat army.

Last time she told herself that she still wanted to go to the special forces.

Ha ha!

Special forces.

female soldier?

Li Zheng felt that he was exhausted from being an infantry soldier in the Tiger Regiment, and this girl dared to say that she was going to be a female soldier in the special forces!
It's not that there are no such female special forces, but are ordinary people capable?
My girlfriend is not spoiled at home, but she is absolutely pampered, and she went to Donghai University smoothly. A female college student, who is completely unfamiliar with the world of male soldiers, dares to say that she wants to be a female special soldier?
However, he didn't dare to disobey his girlfriend's face. He said, "Okay, okay, I'm waiting for the day when you become a female special soldier, come on!"

But in my heart, I was like, hehehe, little girl, if you can become a female special soldier, I can go to heaven!

The trimming is still going on, for three days in a row.

The three days are like this, walking in the queue in the morning, doing queue movements, doing [-] push-ups in the evening, and then resting, free activities during the day, and cleaning up personal housekeeping.

The soldiers of the fourth company were very happy, and their hearts blossomed.

It's not a matter of awareness or not. Everyone is happy without training.

Don't look at everyone who is willing to work hard and refuse to admit defeat on the training ground, but when it comes to rest, who is not willing?

But Li Zheng is an outlier.

Li Zheng felt quite comfortable. On the second day, he couldn't sit still. He felt itchy all over his body. He couldn't tell what itching was. Later, he realized that it was an itchy heart, as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

He took the initiative to find Hou Jun and asked him to tell the company commander if he could get him a gun. He wanted to go to the shooting range to practice aiming.

Hou Jun looked at the soldier who didn't seem to be joking in front of him. His eyes were first surprised, then admired, and finally relieved.

"okay!"

Out of nowhere, he uttered a nonsensical remark.

Li Zheng asked him in astonishment: "Platoon leader, what can I do?"

Hou Jun did not answer this question directly, but turned to the previous training: "I ask you something, you have to answer me honestly."

Li Zheng said, "Definitely."

Hou Jun said, "Do you know what it takes to be a top sniper?"

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Calm and composed?"

Hou Jun shook his head.

Li Zheng said again: "Aren't you afraid of sacrifice?"

Hou Jun continued to shake his head.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and said, "Aren't you afraid of suffering?"

Hou Jun shook his head: "No. Look at our platoon and then at our company. There are fewer soldiers who are not afraid of hardship?"

Li Zheng was right when he thought about it, the fourth company was the benchmark company in the Tiger Regiment, the sharpshooter company, the training has always been known for being strict, and the soldiers have never been afraid of hardship.

Hou Jun continued: "The training is so hard! In fact, every soldier is afraid of hardship. During the training, he doesn't look afraid, but he is actually afraid in his heart. Who doesn't want to feel comfortable? Most of them want to. But there are some who don't want to, such as You're like this. When you feel comfortable, you feel like you've lost your soul, you can't sit still, and you always feel that something is missing. Do you know why?"

Li Zheng shook his head.

Hou Jun said: "Because of love. Because you really fell in love with guns, just like your lover who is passionately in love. If you don't see each other every day, if you can't see it, you can't practice it. You just miss it, want to find it, and take it with you. A tryst at the training ground..."

Li Zheng grinned: "Squad leader, what you said is really ambiguous."

Hou Jun's face was fierce, and he reprimanded: "You know what an idiot!"

When it came, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Now you are better than me." Hou Jun said with emotion: "I used to be like you, but you see, I am not anymore. I have been pressing the bed for the past two days. I read and write letters to pass the time, so I didn't think about it." Go to the shooting range to practice..."

"Platoon leader..."

Seeing Hou Jun's lonely expression, Li Zheng knew that he remembered those failures again.

"What's wrong?" Hou Jun asked.

Li Zheng said: "I don't think you should be so discouraged, platoon leader. There is an old saying, hope is tomorrow."

Hou Jun laughed at himself twice, and finally said: "Unexpectedly, I, Hou Jun, was educated by a recruit... Hehe... But you are right, I hope tomorrow, but I have been a soldier for more than eight years , I used to comfort myself like this before, but after failing again and again, I doubted life, no, it should be said that I doubted God, although we soldiers are materialists, but you really have to accept your fate, you miss me... The first time I failed, I also encouraged myself, next time, I will definitely do it next time, and then I jumped into the pit next time, and I said to myself, it’s okay, your military career is still long, the opportunities are too many to die, Then it was the third time...the fourth time...ah...the last time it was because I broke a fart...that fucking fart..."

He muttered, as if venting.

Li Zheng said: "Platoon leader, I actually understand you."

Hou Jun turned his head abruptly, looked at him, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "You understand me? You rookie, you understand me!"

Li Zheng said seriously: "I really understand you, but I don't think you are right."

Surprise flashed in Hou Jun's eyes: "What's wrong with me?"

Li Zheng said: "There was an earthquake in my hometown, and my parents and I were under the rubble. I spent the longest four days in my life in the dark. During the four days, I even lost the concept of time. I don't know. How long has passed, as if it has been more than ten days, nothing to eat, only a little water in a deformed pot to drink, many times I have to give up, but my mother told me, you have to believe that you are not I will die here. You have to believe that many people are looking for us outside. You have to believe that hope will always exist. If you believe in it, it may appear, but if you don’t believe it, hope will definitely not come. Without hope, there will be no hope. Lost everything..."

After speaking, the corners of his eyes were red.

Hou Jun was stunned for a long time, and finally stood up from the small bench.

"Then what is your hope?"

"I hope..." Li Zheng thought for a while: "I want to be a good soldier, at least to live up to those few soldiers who rescued me from the ruins back then."

　Fortunately, I accompanied the tiger to see the doctor. It was nothing serious. After returning home and taking the medicine, the tiger started to be fierce again, and the roar shook the family. Although my heart trembled, I was very comforted and happy.

　　I hope that the tiger will continue to be so fierce until it grows old.

　　Finally, for the sake of my active update, give me the monthly pass and subscription.
