Chapter 32

1
Lin Rui was wearing a uniform and an armed belt, and stood straddling a group of squad leaders on the playground, his face under the big-brimmed hat was expressionless, and his eyes were shining coldly. In the winter of 1992, several Jiefang trucks drove into the playground of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade.The recruits in winter training uniforms got out of the car with their belongings and looked around curiously at this strange place.Like those squad leaders, Lin Rui shouted in a hoarse voice unique to the army, until these recruits who were like nesting quail stood in a row in front of him.Lin Rui narrowed his eyes and raised his chin: "Listen to me, I'll just say it once! My name is Lin Rui, and I'm your squad leader! Starting today, you're not ordinary people, you're soldiers! I don't care if you are a What kind of virtue, this is the army! It's a dragon, you have to coil it for me! It's a tiger, you have to lie down for me!"

The recruits stared at him.Lin Rui stood in front of them, still looking at their immature faces so coldly: "Do you know what kind of army we are?!"

The recruits looked at each other, and one recruit said: "Special Forces!" "Yes, Special Forces!" Lin Rui said sharply, "But next time, you must pay attention to calling the report squad leader first! ——Do you know what Special Forces are?" "Scratch your tongue, wreak havoc!" shouted another recruit. "Did you call for a report?" Lin Rui's voice was not loud but sharp. "I..." The recruit widened his eyes in fear, "I, I'm stupid..." "20 push-ups! Start now!" Lin Rui said. "Yes, squad leader." The recruit replied but did not move.

"Why don't you do it?" "Report to the monitor, what is a push-up?" The recruit asked shyly.Lin Rui wanted to kick him, but he still fell forward and gave him two demonstrations: "This is it, do it! Count yourself!" "Yes, squad leader!" The soldier obviously came from the countryside, very simple, lying on the ground Just do: "1, 2, 3..." "Special forces are troops that are particularly able to endure hardships and fight, and are sharp-edged troops that perform special tasks!"

Lin Rui continued, "What are special forces made of?! It's the spirit of steel! It's the spirit of not fearing death! It's lightning, it's a sharp sword, and it's the nightmare-like shadow of the enemy!"

"Report to the squad leader, it's done!" The soldier stood up and said excitedly with a blushing face.Lin Rui asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired!" The soldier was actually very happy, "It's much easier than farming at home." "Fifty more!" Lin Rui said.

"Yes, monitor!" He got down to do it again. "What's your name?" Lin Rui thought it was funny. "...5, 6... Tian Daniu! 9, 10..." The soldier was very excited. "You, you say it again?" Lin Rui was startled.

"Tian Daniu!" "Stand up!" Lin Rui shouted.The soldier got up, his face flushed, and his head belching white.Lin Rui walked up to him and looked at him carefully. The soldier laughed.Lin Rui's voice was trembling: "Why are you called Tian Daniu?!" "My mother gave it to me, saying that my family is short of labor, and I want to be as strong as a cow!" The soldier was still laughing. "Why are you called Tian Daniu?!" Lin Rui moved his lips.The soldier was very puzzled: "Squad leader, this is my mother's name..." "Starting today, you change your name!" Lin Rui shouted.The soldier was very surprised: "Squad leader, why?" "The first article of the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention"-all actions follow the command!" Lin Rui shouted, "Don't ask why, follow the order!" "Yes! Squad leader , I'll change my name!" The soldier finished shouting, "What should I change?" "Tian Xiaoniu!" Lin Rui shouted.

"Yes! Tian Xiaoniu!" The soldier could only agree, "Squad leader, can I continue to do 'push-ups'?" He said the word "push-ups" was very strange, obviously not familiar with it.

"Do it." Lin Rui's voice softened, watching Tian Xiaoniu leaning over to do push-ups with strange eyes, "Change 20."

"Yes, 20!" Tian Xiaoniu shouted, doing.Lin Rui suppressed his emotions: "The honor of the special forces is forged with the blood of martyrs! In times of war, we are the sharp knives in the hands of the head of the theater command, stabbing the enemy's heart! In times of peace, we are the People's Republic An invisible Great Wall of steel, to complete all kinds of urgent, dangerous and difficult tasks! We——are glorious special forces!"

The playground was filled with the hoarse roars of recruits and squad leaders.

"The next subject - 81-1 automatic rifle rapid fire, the performance begins!" The voice of the female commentator sounded from the loudspeaker, and the English translation also came out.

"Prepare—" the commander raised the red flag.Zhang Lei, wearing a camouflage uniform and a steel helmet lying on the ground, holds a gun in his right hand and rests on the ground with his left hand, staring at the valley ahead.

"Start!" The red flag swished down.Zhang Lei shot out, like a camouflaged shadow, rushing across the open ground 10 meters in front of him.In a sudden moment, a row of steel targets popped up 100 meters from the valley.Zhang Lei slid out and shot from a prone position.Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang! 5 shots were fired, and 5 steel targets fell to the ground.

"...Automatic rifle rapid fire is a basic skill of the People's Liberation Army scouts. The Reconnaissance Department of the Army Academy has raised the requirements for trainees - within one and a half minutes, they must complete the shooting of 60 rounds of bullets in two magazines, and require The hit rate is above 80%..." Two more targets were picked out on the left, Zhang Lei shot from a kneeling position, and the two targets fell to the ground.The targets in different positions that jumped out from time to time were accurately knocked down by Zhang Lei.Zhang Lei changed his shooting posture, passed the 100-meter open field in front of him, with the gun in his hand, as if he had become one with him.The flexible military movements dazzled the audience, and the applause sounded from the viewing platform.After one magazine was finished, Zhang Lei pulled out the second magazine from the magazine pouch on his chest with his left hand, pried off the empty magazine with the spare magazine, and finished loading in less than a second. Prepare.The gunfire sounded again, and all kinds of targets with various names fell to the ground.

The military officers from various countries on the viewing platform couldn't help but stand up, applauding thunderously.Zhang Lei shot from a standing posture, and a row of steel targets bounced up 50 meters in front of him fell down accurately.The steel target fell, and the "Welcome" consisting of a row of English letters "WELCOME" popped up, pushing the performance to a climax.

"Stop—" Zhang Lei stood still, inspected the gun on the spot, and then swung behind him neatly, without moving the automatic rifle on his back.Military officers from various countries in military uniforms from various countries stepped down from the viewing platform and surrounded Zhang Lei who was still panting.Zhang Lei didn't move his eyes, beads of sweat dripped down his face, and he breathed evenly.The reporters kept taking pictures around the scene, and the flashes were frequently fired. "Very good!" said a military attache in English, "You are the most outstanding soldier I have ever seen!" "Thank you, sir." Zhang Lei replied in English, "I am just an ordinary student in the Chinese People's Liberation Army." Your military skills are amazing, would you like to serve as an instructor in our country?" Another military officer asked. "I am a Chinese soldier, and I practiced my military skills hard to defend my motherland." Zhang Lei said, "Personally, I have no interest in training foreign troops. Of course, if the organization sends me, I will go, that is to obey orders." For an excellent soldier like you, has your army treated you very well?" the military officer asked. "Sir," Zhang Lei looked at him and replied, "it has nothing to do with treatment. I am a son and daughter of the Chinese nation, and I have lived on this land for generations. The duty of the sons and daughters of the Chinese people." The military officer nodded and held out his thumb: "Good! Very good! The Chinese Army will be very proud to have soldiers like you!" "I am proud of being a member of the Chinese Army!" Zhang Lei answer. "What is this?" Another military officer pointed curiously at the umbrella emblem on Zhang Lei's chest. "The parachuting qualification badge of the Chinese People's Liberation Army paratroopers." Zhang Lei replied.

"Are you a paratrooper?" "Before school, you were a paratrooper." Zhang Lei said.The military officer excitedly pointed to his chest: "It's amazing, I'm also a paratrooper! Paratroopers are real men! How about selling this badge of yours to me?" "The honor of a soldier is not for sale!" Zhang Lei said neither humble nor overbearing. "I offer $100!"

"sorry sir."

"1000 dollars!" - Zhang Lei looked at him: "No matter how much money you pay, it is impossible to buy the honor of a soldier!" The military officer opened his mouth and thought for a long time, then smiled: "Soldier, you are a real soldier!" I admire real fighters!" He took off his paratrooper badge and pinned it on Zhang Lei's chest: "This is for you as a gift, I hope you will like it."

Zhang Lei thought about it, watched the military officer pin his umbrella emblem on himself, and saluted: "Sir, I also have a gift for you!"

The military attache looked at him curiously.Zhang Lei took off his umbrella badge and pinned it on the military attache's chest: "I can't sell the honor of my soldier, but I can give it to you as a respect for an old paratrooper!"

Flashes flashed.The military officer was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he grabbed Zhang Lei's hand and said, "Thank you! Thank you!" Zhang Lei smiled faintly and stood up.

Liu Fangfang was holding the military newspaper, and the photos below the front page were news photos of military attaches from various countries when they visited the Luyuan——Zhang Lei was shaking hands with a military attache. thumbs up.Liu Fangfang yelled and went to the water room to find He Xiaoyu.

"Look, look, do you think the person in the military newspaper is Zhang Lei from last time?" Liu Fangfang asked.He Xiaoyu said, "He's the only one? Still going to the military newspaper? I'd better go do the laundry." But Liu Fangfang forced her to look, and He Xiaoyu took a casual look, and her eyes widened: "Yo! That's really good, This guy is amazing! Did he report to the army?!"

"Am I right?" Liu Fangfang said triumphantly, "It's Zhang Lei!" "That's right! What are you so proud of?" He Xiaoyu gave her a white look.Liu Fangfang blushed: "You don't care about me! I am willing!" He Xiaoyu asked: "I said, did you fall in love with him?" "What are you talking about! My father said that I am not allowed to fall in love until I graduate!" Liu Fangfang said with a blushing face. "Then pretend I didn't say anything, I'm going to do the laundry." He Xiaoyu went into the water room and continued to do the laundry.But Liu Fangfang was still standing beside her, and asked hesitantly after a while: "Xiaoyu, I...I want to ask you, are you familiar with Zhang Lei?" "Yes, my brother!" He Xiaoyu said.Liu Fangfang plucked up the courage to ask: "Then, does he have a girlfriend?" "This..." He Xiaoyu put it off, and Liu Fangfang asked anxiously: "Hurry up." "Yes—" He Xiaoyu dragged on sound.Liu Fangfang's face turned green: "Huh?" "Pass!" He Xiaoyu just finished speaking.Liu Fangfang hit her: "You, you scared me to death! Then tell me about this Zhang Lei, how about him?" He Xiaoyu thought about it: "Zhang Lei? He is a paratrooper, a military family, and has military qualities. Excellent, mischievous, likes to go to the military hospital to meet female soldiers, and... just a big carrot!"

"Ah?!" Liu Fangfang opened her mouth wide.He Xiaoyu chuckled: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. He is not bad, he is very persistent in his relationship. He just broke up with his girlfriend. It should be said that he is still in a painful period. If you appear at this time, there may be something interesting! "

"What are you talking about?" Liu Fangfang said in a low voice.He Xiaoyu said: "But let me remind you, he has high vision!" Liu Fangfang became nervous: "Xiao Yu, do you think he can fall in love with me?" He Xiaoyu laughed out loud: "Have you exposed your target?
Still pretending to be there! "Liu Fangfang blushed: "You, you, I hate you to death!" "I can't say it's good, but our Liu Fangfang is also good!" He Xiaoyu said, "It's also a flower in our Military Medical University!" "The two were making a fuss, and the assembly whistle rang. The two ran out quickly.

Lin Rui squatted in front of a row of weapons, talking to the recruits in winter training uniforms and boots.The recruits all opened their eyes wide, looking stupidly at the row of various weapons in front of them.Tian Xiaoniu shouted excitedly: "Report to the squad leader! When can we shoot?" Lin Rui stood up and looked at him: "Have you ever fired a gun?"

"Report to the squad leader! No!" Tian Xiaoniu said, "But I have been playing slingshots since I was a child, and I have been playing with slingshots since I was a child. I am the only one in our village who can shoot accurately with slingshots!" The recruits burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Didn't Xu Haifeng also shoot with a slingshot?" Tian Xiaoniu looked at the recruits. "You also know Xu Haifeng, it's not easy! At that time, some of you will be shot, and you will be annoyed!" Lin Rui picked up an 81-1 automatic rifle, "This is a domestic 81-1 automatic rifle with a caliber of 7.62 mm, with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, and the 81-1 squad light machine gun below is a family of guns, and most of the parts are interchangeable." Tian Xiaoniu looked greedily, his eyes gleaming.Lin Rui picked up a big gun with a scope again: "China-made 85 sniper rifle with a caliber of 7.62mm! It is a long-range weapon for individual soldiers, and its range can reach about 1000 meters. Because the sniper rifle has long-range lethal performance and good concealment , so the sniper is also called—"Assassin"!" He looked at Tian Xiaoniu who was eager to eat the sniper rifle, and said with a smile: "Tian Xiaoniu!"

"Here!" Tian Xiaoniu hurriedly stood up straight.Lin Rui threw the gun to him: "Experience it!" Tian Xiaoniu stretched out his arms and hugged him excitedly: "Oh my god! If we had it when we played mahjong in our village, it would be amazing!" The recruits laughed again.Lin Rui wanted to give him a punch: "Hit mahjong? Are you any good?! This thing hits mahjong, and the sparrow is turned into pieces of meat!" He snatched the gun, Tian Xiaoniu looked stupidly as he was snatched away The sniper rifle is a bit unfinished.

"China-made 85 micro-acoustic submachine gun..." Lin Rui continued to introduce.Tian Xiaoniu still looked at the sniper rifle and swallowed.Dong Qiang, a recruit from Tangshan next to him, asked: "What are you looking at?" "Look at the gun, I like that gun." Tian Xiaoniu said foolishly.Dong Qiang from the city laughed: "That's called a sniper rifle!"

"Yes, yes, a sniper rifle!" Tian Xiaoniu said, still staring at the sniper rifle. "A country bumpkin like you can also be a special soldier?" Dong Qiang said with a smile, "Pigs can climb trees! You should go shoot sparrows!" "What?!" Tian Xiaoniu stared, "It's a mule or a horse. Come out for a walk! What's wrong with the soil? The crops have to be raised with manure!" "Tian Xiaoniu! Dong Qiang!" Lin Rui stood up and shouted sharply, "What are you two doing?" The two hurriedly stood at attention. "100 push-ups!" Lin Rui said.The two started doing push-ups.Wu Yun ran over with his recruits and sang "The Song of Special Forces": "In the dark, we are a sharp sword; in the dark, we are a flash of lightning..." "Stand up!" Wu Yun shouted.The team stopped.Wu Yun asked them to stand up in front of the weapons with a sharp command: "Stand up! Watch it for me! - Lin Rui, please take care of yourself, or I have to pick up the weapons in the afternoon, and it will be extremely troublesome! "Lin Rui nodded: "We are almost done, tell me." Wu Yun's method of leading troops is completely different from Lin Rui's. He smiled and looked at the brothers in his class: "Say, what do you want to learn?" "Report to the squad leader! That's it!" A recruit pointed to a sniper rifle. "Yes! The squad leader will talk about that!" "That big gun!" "Sniper rifle!"... "You really found the right person." Lin Rui said, "Your squad leader is the real sniper." Wu Yun squatted down , Lifting the sniper rifle: "Look at it! I will show you a trick!" Three times and two times, the rifle turned into parts.The recruits were dumbfounded. "I'll change it back for you guys again." Wu Yun pretended again, and the recruits applauded. "Ball!" Wu Yun said, "This is a ball! Squad leader Lin is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and it's like playing." "Squad leader Lin will perform one!" A recruit shouted.The recruits applaud.Wu Yun looked at Lin Rui: "What should I do?"

Lin Rui smiled: "Blindfold my eyes."

Tian Xiaoniu took out a handkerchief and covered Lin Rui's eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Squad leader, can you leave a gap?" "Bastard!" Lin Rui scolded.Tian Xiaoniu hastily covered him up.Wu Yun checked again: "Okay, I'll tear it down!"
