Spike

Chapter 10

"Don't just stand around stupidly, why don't you find a place to sit down and talk?" He Xiaoyu blinked and took Liu Xiaofei's hand. "Where is a good place to sit in this hospital?" Fang Zijun said, "How about..." She whispered something to He Xiaoyu in a low voice, and He Xiaoyu nodded wildly: "Okay! Okay! Stay here and put me away I’m so suffocated! I’m going right away!” Fang Zijun patted her: “Hurry up! My casual clothes are in the closet in the office, you can wear them whatever you want—don’t let the director see them!” “Got it! Don’t forget, I It's the daughter of the captain of the 'Spike Fang' special reconnaissance brigade!" He Xiaoyu turned around and ran away.Zhang Lei was taken aback: "She is He Zhijun's daughter?" Fang Zijun asked with a smile: "Yeah, what's the matter? Didn't Xiaofei tell you?" Liu Xiaofei rubbed his head: "I'm not ashamed to say more. Just tell him. I'm going to see my girlfriend." Zhang Lei sighed, "It's okay—it turns out he's a famous general." Fang Zijun was a little surprised: "Is my godfather so famous?"

Zhang Lei, who was wearing sunglasses, did not speak. He took out his wallet and opened it. In the place where the girl's photo should be placed, there was a group photo of two people - in the middle was He Zhijun from the era of the reconnaissance brigade, wearing a camouflage cloth He wore a steel helmet, and there was a bird's look in his eyes.There was gunpowder smoke and faded bloodstains in the photo, and next to him was a young soldier in camouflage uniform, absolutely resembling Zhang Lei.Fang Zijun was taken aback for a moment, and his face turned pale.Liu Xiaofei didn't find it strange, he had seen it before.He didn't tell Zhang Lei that his girlfriend was He Zhijun's daughter because he was embarrassed.

"In 1986, our Airborne Army dispatched 40 of the best scouts to form the 'Flying Eagle' scout team to go to the front line for rounds. During an operation, my brother was wounded and unconscious in the jungle in order to cover his teammates. He brought his own The army's "Spike" reconnaissance team broke into the siege and rescued my brother...he is my idol—the military god of scouts." Zhang Lei took off his sunglasses and said lightly.Fang Zijun looked at his brother's face with seriousness and solemnity, looked at the burning flame of youth in those eyes, and his face became paler and paler.She asked, "Your name is Zhang Lei? Then what's your brother's name?"

"His name is Zhang Yun, and he died in a later operation." Zhang Lei didn't pay attention and closed his wallet.Fang Zijun was speechless, his mouth was open and there was no sound.

"I have always wanted to see him. It will be an honor in my life to serve in his army." After Zhang Lei finished speaking, his serious expression disappeared.He looked at Liu Xiaofei and Fang Zijun who were not talking, and smiled: "Don't get me wrong! I didn't ask you to go through the back door for me, I don't need it - I believe in myself."

"I believe in you too." Fang Zijun suddenly blurted out excitedly.So, everyone froze for a moment, including herself.

Fang Zijun had long hair and a shawl, and changed into a blue sweater and white jeans. When he walked out of the hospital, Zhang Lei was really taken aback.Liu Xiaofei really didn't pay attention, he was still waiting for He Xiaoyu to get out.Fang Zijun, who had changed into casual clothes, no longer gave people the impression of a serious female cadre in a green military uniform with a white coat on the outside—the military rank was not visible at the time, but Zhang Lei estimated that he was at least a lieutenant or a civilian deputy company.From the outside, she seemed to be younger than Zhang Lei and Liu Xiaofei, like a junior in an art academy.Seeing Zhang Lei, she froze for a moment, stabilized herself, and then walked up to the two stunned students: "What's wrong? Are you stupid?" Liu Xiaofei smiled, he wasn't thinking about that.It was Zhang Lei who said "ah" and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm here to see the beauty of the country and the city." Fang Zijun pretended to be stupid, but his voice was a little fluttering: "Who? Show me?" Zhang Lei said haha: "Standing right in front of me."

"Why are you as poor as your brother..." Fang Zijun blushed, but then turned pale again.Zhang Lei was stunned: "Do you know my brother?" Fang Zijun realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly smoothed things over: "I met him once at the front line. He was injured at that time and was living in our field hospital. I'm not familiar..." Zhang Lei thought about it , didn't say anything.This is also very normal. There are a large number of female medical staff who have been to the front line, and there are a large number in every military hospital.Although there are many troops on the front line, it is normal to see them once or twice.Fang Zijun didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.Liu Xiaofei saw He Xiaoyu jumping out of the hospital in dark blue jeans and a beige sweater, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! Have you lost your period?" He Xiaoyu stared, ran up to him and pinched him: "You Dead thing, you are afraid that others will not know, right?" Liu Xiaofei quickly covered his mouth.Fang Zijun, who had been silent all this time, said: "Let's go. I'll treat you today and improve the food for you. It's up to you to eat boiled mutton or something."

"Let me come, how can I ask you to invite me?" Liu Xiaofei said hurriedly—he really has the confidence, although his father told his mother many times that he would let his children exercise well after entering the military school, and the army will take care of everything. I can no longer give the child money, but my mother still secretly stuffed him with a lot of money. "Let me do it." Zhang Lei also felt that it was inappropriate for a lady to treat her.Fang Zijun smiled and said: "Come on, you three little red cards, invite me? Now everything has increased in price, except for the allowance of the military academy. I don't know how poor you are in the military academy? Let's go." - Zhang Lei There is no dispute with Liu Xiaofei, knowing that this is related to the face of the female cadres--thinking about it, a dignified female cadre and Xiaoyu's sister-in-law, how dare she let two little red card students treat her?The result of the final discussion was to eat hot-boiled mutton, and the four of them walked to a hot-boiled mutton restaurant on the other street.Naturally, Liu Xiaofei and He Xiaoyu walked in the front, bouncing and laughing, while Zhang Lei and Fang Zijun walked slowly behind.But for some reason, the two of them were speechless and remained silent the entire time.After a while, Zhang Lei said, "When did you go to the front line?"

"From 1985 to 1988, the last batch of field hospitals were withdrawn." Fang Zijun said lightly, "I never went to medical school. I was promoted in the front line. I returned to the provincial medical college for self-study in obstetrics and gynecology."

"Three years." Zhang Lei was in awe.Fang Zijun smiled lightly: "It's nothing, it's all over." "I had a chance, but after my brother died, my mother refused to let me join the army." Zhang Lei said, "Then you were a soldier in 84?" Fang Zijun said: "In 85. My father and Uncle He were comrades-in-arms, so they recognized me as a goddaughter." "Your father is also in the reconnaissance brigade?" Zhang Lei's eyes lit up. "Yes..." Fang Zijun's eyes dimmed.Zhang Lei is not a fool, so he stopped asking.There were four of them, two thin boys wearing red card military uniforms, and two beautiful girls wearing fashionable women's clothing. They were quite conspicuous when walking on the street—especially because the two girls were tall and beautiful.Along the road, some people actually whistled and said strange things.Zhang Lei and Liu Xiaofei looked over and saw a group of punks sitting on the curb.Fang Zijun hurriedly said, "Don't talk to them, let's go."

"Okay, don't make trouble!" He Xiaoyu also grabbed Liu Xiaofei who was eager to try, she knew that this brat was born to fight.The two military cadets suppressed their anger and followed the two girls away.But the whistle was getting louder and louder, and there were unbearable shouts. "Brother Soldier, keep the beauties!" "That's right, our brothers can also experience the feeling of a brother soldier!" "These two girls are so juicy!" Ass!"...Liu Xiaofei couldn't bear it any longer, and turned around to shout at those little bastards: "What are you talking about? You are courting death!"

"Xiaofei! Can you stop causing trouble!" He Xiaoyu quickly grabbed him. "Yo, what's the matter with Lianlian?" Those little gangsters continued to speak rudely, and even surrounded them.Without speaking, Zhang Lei took off his military cap slowly, and handed it to Fang Zijun: "Help me get it." Fang Zijun hurriedly asked, "What do you want? Don't be fooled, there are pickets on this one!" Zhang Lei took it off again He smiled and stuffed his coat to Fang Zijun: "I'm not wearing a military uniform now, am I?" He winked at Liu Xiaofei, Liu Xiaofei understood, and also took off his military cap and jacket.Fang Zijun and He Xiaoyu were both dumbfounded holding a pile of military caps and military uniforms.

"You are on the left wing, I am on the right wing." Zhang Lei whispered, looking at the seven or eight punks who forced to surround them.Liu Xiaofei stood in a good position, and the two young men clenched their fists and straddled their legs.Without looking back, Zhang Lei said to the two girls, "You go to that restaurant and wait for us." He Xiaoyu became angry: "I said Liu Xiaofei! Are you restless if you don't fight? Let me tell you, if you make trouble, I'm really in a hurry with you!" Fang Zijun pulled her: "Forget it, it's useless to tell the scouts about this. Let's go quickly." She pulled He Xiaoyu away, and turned her head before leaving: "Remember the restaurant address! Also, the picket is here, don’t tell me which unit you belong to, run quickly! Be smart!”

Zhang Lei turned his face to the side and smiled back.Fang Zijun was stupid this time - the profile, it looks so similar!But now is not the time to be dumbfounded, she hurriedly dragged Xiao Yu away.Although my heart is still aching, I can't tell what it feels like.It's already started there.Of course, there was no suspense at all. It was really a waste of resources for two students from the Reconnaissance Department of the Lu Academy to deal with a few punks, and they were knocked down in a few strokes.

"Remember! Don't play wild with this place in the future!" Liu Xiaofei kicked a guy's ass, "Get out!"

Zhang Lei pulled Xiaofei: "Get out!" Xiaofei raised his head, and the two pickets were running towards us from a distance.So, the two of them ran away, and the pickets chased after them.Of course, they couldn't catch up, and the picket was left behind after running not too far.The two young men ran very vigorously, turned a few streets, and ran straight to the restaurant they had agreed upon.Many people are looking at them on the road, thinking that there is something wrong with them, why run away properly? —It's just a manifestation of excess energy.

Geng Hui came back from the military area and hurried into the duty room of the brigade, and said seriously to He Zhijun who was reading the exercise plan: "Big captain, there is bad news—Chen Yong's promotion report was rejected in the last review. It is!" He Zhijun stood up suddenly: "What? Say, what's going on? Where is it unqualified?" Geng Hui gave him the materials: "There is nothing unqualified—the name was typed wrong by the typist! Chen Yong ——Brave 'Yong' has been labeled as '流浪' as '流浪'! See for yourself!" He Zhijun wondered: "The name is wrong, wouldn't it be over if you change it?" Geng Hui said: "If you want to Change, of course I changed it for you! But they don’t want to change it at all! I found out from the side, there is a relative of a minister in the military region of another directly subordinate team who is competing with Chen Yong for this position. They just think they can’t find your loophole , You typed your name wrong yourself!"

He Zhijun was in a hurry: "What now? Has the order been issued?" Geng Hui said: "The order has been issued! Chen Yong was defeated!" He Zhijun slapped the table, his black face flushed: "Is this not nonsense? Do you need to say more about the quality of bravery in the candidate? How many military medals! No, I'm going to the military region! Let the driver prepare a car for me!" Geng Hui stopped him: "What's the use of going to the military region? Now The order has already been issued, and it is useless to find anyone! Even if you go to the old army commander, he can't care about such trivial matters raised by the little soldier!" He Zhijun gritted his teeth: "Then what do you think should be done?" Geng Hui thought for a while, and said, "Do you still remember Xiaotao?" He Zhijun said, "Remember, it's Xiaotao who was transferred from the front-line reconnaissance brigade by the chief, right? He's from a family of Nanquan, and he's a good handgunner. What do you ask him for?" Geng Hui emphasized emphatically: "He is now the security staff of the commander of the military region, and he is familiar with the head of the military region. His wife is the daughter of the head of the cadre department of the military region." He Zhijun's eyes lit up: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" Geng Hui smiled : "I'm afraid you don't want to have a relationship..."

"Damn it! It's imminent, this relationship has to go! Put me through Xiaotao's call immediately!" He Zhijun shouted.Geng Hui took out the phone book and asked for a number: "The switchboard of the military region, please ask for 5688." The call was connected immediately, and he handed the phone to He Zhijun.

"Hello? Who is it?" It's Xiaotao. Although it's been a few years, he still looks like a bird and has the same voice.He Zhijun scolded with a smile: "Mom, who do you think I am?" I want to see you, but I don't have time..." He Zhijun's smile gradually froze on Hei's face.He felt sad—yes, how could he not be sad—He Zhijun also started to show his old face?He opened his mouth and stayed for a long time before saying, "Xiaotao, there is such a thing, do you think you can help me with it?"

"Say it, captain! I will go through fire and water for what you have told me!" Xiaotao was very excited.He Zhijun said: "There is a soldier, and there is something wrong with the proposal..." Xiaotao said bluntly: "Okay, don't talk about it. You send someone to bring me his materials, and I will submit them before I get off work tomorrow afternoon." The order will be telexed to your desk." That's it?He Zhijun held the phone and didn't know what to say - the promotion of a soldier, the future of his life, was solved by a chief's security staff?So simple?How can it be so simple?He felt very sad while holding the phone, and he was still saying on the phone: "Captain, it's okay. I will drive you to send the order to you tomorrow afternoon. I haven't seen you for several years. I have specially prepared for you here." A bottle of Moutai has not been touched for several years, just waiting to drink with you..."

Geng Hui smiled wryly at the stupid He Zhijun, and took the phone: "Xiaotao, I'm Geng Hui." Xiaotao still replied very neatly: "Hi instructor!" Geng Hui smoothed things over with a smile: "It's fine when things are done, the brigade It has just started, and there are many things to do, next time I go to the military region to do business, I will find you for a drink!" Xiaotao happily agreed: "Yes! Instructor, you and the team leader must come together! How many years have I been waiting, After you came down, I had a lot of things to do and socialize here, so I never had a chance to see you..."

He Zhijun had already walked slowly to the entrance of the brigade department, watching the soldiers on the training ground in a daze.The soldiers are all loading things on the car, preparing to participate in the 91 Thunder Exercise organized by the military region.Geng Hui came out and stood behind He Zhijun, without a smile on his face, he said cautiously: "Captain, this is not a time of war, you can't talk about the peaceful environment."

He Zhijun didn't speak, just walked slowly.Geng Hui looked at his lonely back, unable to say anything.He Zhijun looked at the familiar barracks, but saw a strange smell.strangeness?How can it feel strange?I grew up in the military camp since I was a child!Why is it different?What has changed?Acting platoon leader Chen Yong was instructing the soldiers to load the supplies into vehicles, when suddenly a muffled thunder exploded in the air: "Chen Yong!"

"Here!" Chen Yong turned around and stood at attention, seeing that it was the captain, he immediately ran quickly. "Listen to me—if you don't treat me well as a soldier, you'll eat me with a gun!" He Zhijun roared. "Yes!" Chen Yong saluted. He didn't understand what happened to the captain—why didn't I take it seriously?After He Zhijun left, Chen Yong didn't dare to chase after him, but just stared blankly at the back of the captain.Geng Hui came over to look at Chen Yong, and smiled bitterly: "He's fine, you go back and take your platoon. Work hard, he has great expectations for you."

"Yes!" Chen Yong saluted the political commissar, turned around and directed the soldiers to load the vehicles.Seeing He Zhijun's lonely back walking among various training facilities, Geng Hui could only sigh helplessly.
