The strongest rocket soldier

Chapter 1045 Final chapter: We are all old
After visiting Gerza post for more than an hour, Ding Xiaojun was sent back by Lao Shui. As for why it was not Lin Sen but Lao Shui, it was mainly because Lin Sen was busy and he had to rush to transplant the seedlings. Trees, in his words, are planted all the time, as far as they can extend.

I have to say that this is a veteran with great ideals and goals. He is different from Ding Xiaojun. His way is to take the battalion as his home and build national defense. In a sense, he is also extraordinary. People who do extraordinary things in ordinary positions are extraordinary people.

When he got up early the next morning, Ding Xiaojun changed into the long clothes he was wearing. He straightened again and again before going out. In the morning, all the soldiers were gathered together to carry out the first ever The second battalion award ceremony.

"In recent years, our Rocket Army has relied on science and technology to rejuvenate the army, responded to the guidelines of the Central Military Commission, and accelerated the development of the new Rocket Army non-commissioned officer team through various methods such as training competitions, actual combat plus experience, and multi-level and multi-faceted certification evaluations. The talent phalanx has risen, and a group of non-commissioned officers who are skilled in technology, good at management, good at command, and able to fight have become the "pillars" of key positions in our Rocket Army. Approved by the Central Military Commission, they will be on the battlefield today to serve our rockets The newly promoted sergeant majors of the military unit will conduct the conferment ceremony, and now, there will be conferring representatives on stage."

On the temporarily erected rostrum, Commander Lu Xiaoqiang finished his speech, and the newly promoted team of military commanders represented by Ding Xiaojun walked to the rostrum in unison. Next, the members of the Standing Committee, including Lu Xiaoqiang, who were appointed by the Standing Committee of the base, He walked up to them and put new ranks on them one by one.

Immediately afterwards, their newly promoted commander-in-chief turned around and saluted solemnly towards the team ahead.

The team in front of them burst into warm applause.

Next, the representative of the newly promoted team gave a speech. This time, the newly promoted third-rank sergeant major spoke. Ding Xiaojun also walked to the audience with others.

The ceremony lasted for more than an hour. After the show was over, people who wanted to meet came to congratulate them one by one. Ding Xiaojun also thanked them one by one with a smile.

In the afternoon, the troops began to prepare for the return journey. All the people began to pack their personal equipment. After a night passed and it was a new day, as soon as they woke up, all the people began to pack the military tents, load the vehicles, and wait for the order to return.

At about [-] o'clock in the afternoon, all the teams had been fully loaded into the military column, and it was a four-day return journey, and finally returned to the camp.

Ding Xiaojun, who has become a first-class sergeant major, has not continued to be left in the cultural and sports activity center, because his innovative launch platform was approved by the Central Military Commission, and he was assigned to teach at the rocket army's science and technology academy and became a Defense Educator, since, began his educational career.

Time flies, and 12 years have passed in a flash. During these 12 years, Ding Xiaojun has educated twelve batches of students. At the same time, because his health is not as good as before and he is already old, he can only choose to retire.

At this time, Ding Xiaojun returned to his hometown, and what he could do every day was to go out for a walk with his wife Wang Yan, and occasionally go to the field. As for the children, they were already adults, so they didn’t need to ask them anymore, and they decided on their own and chose the military route. I haven't seen people for many years.

As he got older, the injuries he had suffered became more and more serious day by day. Ding Xiaojun no longer went out because his injured leg could no longer support his body. At this time, he could only stay at home, Every day to recall his time in the military.

Later, my daughter returned home on vacation and installed a video TV at home, that is, added chat software. At this time, Ding Xiaojun began to look for his former comrades-in-arms, not by going out, but through the Internet. .

A veteran found him first, and then pulled Ding Xiaojun into a group that only belonged to their second battalion. After chatting for a few days, he saw Jin Xin bubbling in the group. After he chatted with Jin Xin in private, He just heard from Jin Xin that Lu Xiaoqiang, the old battalion commander, was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital. After inquiring about the hospital where Lu Xiaoqiang lived, Ding Xiaojun planned to see Lu Xiaoqiang, who was also a friend and a good friend of the leader.

Wife Wei Wangyan knew that Ding Xiaojun had been unable to let go of his comrades-in-arms. When he proposed to see Lu Xiaoqiang, his wife Wang Yan went to pack her luggage without saying a word. train.

When Ding Xiaojun, who was pushed by Wang Yan, walked into Lu Xiaoqiang's ward, there were already many people there. They were all from the Second Battalion, but not all of them came, not even one-fifth.

Seeing Ding Xiaojun coming, Lu Xiaoqiang on the hospital bed was very excited. He blinked at Ding Xiaojun. Ding Xiaojun moved the wheelchair to Lu Xiaoqiang's bedside very understandingly. He stretched out his hand and held Lu Xiaoqiang's hand.

At this time, Lu Xiaoqiang was already an old man, and he could no longer see the beauty of his past. He was so sick that he could not speak. Ding Xiaojun held his hand and looked at him. The cloudy eyes were also looking at him, both of them were speechless, as if they understood each other.

It wasn't until Lu Xiaoqiang fell asleep that Ding Xiaojun and the soldiers from the second battalion left the ward. Jin Xin came over and helped Wang Yan push Ding Xiaojun's wheelchair, and he said, "Squad leader, I should go and see you. Work never left.”

Ding Xiaojun patted the back of Jin Xin's hand, and said peacefully: "I can understand, it's important to be busy with business. I remember that when I took you with me, you were still a young man of seventeen or eighteen. Unknowingly, you also You're all little old men, time flies by so fast."

Jin Xin didn't know how to answer Ding Xiaojun's words, so he could only say: "Back then, I was against you a lot. Now that I think about it, I was pretty stupid back then."

"It's not stupid, it's young. Young people don't make mistakes. Hey, we are all old now, and we can only recall that period of youth." Ding Xiaojun sighed.

Jin Xin wanted to tell the monitor that you are not old, but felt that he would be reprimanded if he said this, so he asked, "Squad monitor, which hotel are you staying at, and I will see you off."

Wang Yan gave the address of Jinxin Hotel, and Ding Xiaojun also left the hospital. When he came the next day, Lu Xiaoqiang could not wake up. Half a month after arriving home, he suddenly started writing every day. He wanted to write down the past, that period of youth, and everyone in it. He wanted to let all the people who came after him know that they once existed. .

However, Ding Xiaojun is getting old, and he has entered old age. He often can't see clearly, and often writes a lot of wrong words, but he still insists on creating, and only when he creates, he will feel It felt like I was back in my youth again.

What he wrote was a history of the growth of the Rocket Army, a soldier, and became a first-class sergeant. Sometimes, he would laugh or cry because he recalled the scenes in the book. Until one day, he finished writing and closed the book. At that moment, I realized that the five characters "The Strongest Rocket Soldier" were written on the cover of the creative book he wrote.
