Chapter 240: Retirement
on the corridor.
The crescent moon hung lonely in the sky, and the surrounding stars were dim. Shi Guo, the squad leader, stood at the door of the first class dormitory in despair.
At this moment, Wang Yu and others were crowded at the door, with their hands on each other's shoulders, and no one made a sound. Dark heads poked out of the doorways of several dormitories nearby.
The scene was as silent as death, and both of them could hear the pounding of their hearts.
Monitor Shi Guo stood at the door with eyes unfocused, his usually calm face looking pale and lifeless.
He had just come back from the hospital. In fact, he didn't know how he came back.
He couldn't see Wang Qiang when he was in the hospital, because he was in the ICU for rescue, and no one could see him except the doctor. However, after the doctor came out from the operation, one sentence made him feel like he had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cellar, and his heart was chilled. .
"I tried my best, because all the muscles in his legs were blown out and had to be amputated. If there is a life-threatening danger, have you notified his family members to come over and sign..."
The word "amputation" was like a thunderclap in his ears, and everyone at the scene was stunned. As for what the doctor said next, he could no longer remember.
Along the way, he didn't know how he came back. He kept hearing the doctor's voice saying that he wanted to "ampute", and the scenes of living, training, and fighting with Wang Qiang, as if they were in a movie or TV show. Frames played in his mind.
"Squad leader, don't call me Wang Qiang from now on, just call me Lao Wang, the Lao Wang of Lao Wang next door."
"I, Lao Wang, have a good background. By my generation, I have been in the army for three consecutive generations."
If Wang Qiang woke up and knew that he was going to have his leg amputated and spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, how could he accept it...
Along the way, Shi Guo's heart felt as if a sharp knife was being inserted and pulled out constantly, making him unable to breathe in pain.
Although he had been mentally prepared to face life and death from the day he joined the army, when he actually faced it, all kinds of thoughts poured into his mind uncontrollably.
Deng Hua's voice startled him.
"Huazi!"
Shi Guo looked at Deng Hua in front of him, watching quietly. For a moment, his mouth moved slightly, and his eyes gradually returned to focus. He then glanced at the burning eyes of everyone around him, sighed helplessly, and said bitterly: "The doctor said he must have his leg amputated. In the future, he will only Able to sit in a wheelchair.”
Deng Hua's body suddenly stiffened and he couldn't help but take two steps back. His face turned pale and his lips moved slightly: "Why is this?"
"why is it like this?"
Deng Hua murmured, and finally, Deng Hua leaned weakly against the wall at the door of the dormitory.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red.
The corridor suddenly became silent again, the wind picked up, the cold wind blew howling, half of Yue Ya's body was hidden in the dark clouds, and the whole world was darkened.
dong dong!
For a long time, Wang Yu, the rocket player in the dormitory, backed away again and again. Finally, with a "squeak", he fell weakly on the bed, tears streaming down his face, his mouth trembling, and he choked with sobs: "Why? Why?"
The person in class [-] who had the best relationship with Wang Qiang was Wang Yu, who burst into tears.
"Wang Qiang is very hard-working. He said he could stay in the army for the rest of his life. No one knows how hard he worked in order to join the reconnaissance company."
Wang Yu whispered softly, already bursting into tears, "He is also the most diligent among us. He is willing to help us with everything, and he does it silently."
"If any of your clothes were unwashed, he would secretly wash them, dry them and bring them back."
"He is the most diligent, but he has no legs..."
Finally, Wang Yu put his fingers on his head and his voice trembled.
After a long time, the door of the dormitory was gently closed. Outside the window, Yue Ya's entire body was buried in the dark clouds, and the dim dormitory suddenly became invisible.
Wang Yu's choking sounds were particularly clear in the quiet dormitory.
Suddenly, someone who didn't know who it was cried out in the darkness.
Chen Lu sat beside the bed, his eyes red and filled with tears. When Wang Yu's cries kept echoing in the dormitory, he finally couldn't help it, and two big tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Spilled over and slid down the cheeks.
A suppressed sadness surged in his heart, and the scene of Mu Fei joining the reconnaissance company quickly flashed in his mind.
Wang Qiang is a veteran who has never given him any trouble since he joined the company.
At the campground.
"Everyone is here as a recruit. Don't worry, you will gradually become a veteran."
"Huazi has a sharp mouth but a tofu heart. Don't take it to heart. From now on, we will be comrades in the same class."
"What a pity. I thought you could be my partner, but I didn't expect you to be so good, haha..."
Production base.
"Is this your first time doing farm work? If you have the conditions, why do you work so hard as a soldier?"
"You have a good mind and can learn everything quickly. It would be a pity not to stay in the cooking class in the future."
"I came to serve as a soldier without ever having to endure hardships, and I actually became the best recruit. It's true, I have talent and perseverance."
……
It all seemed like it happened yesterday, vividly in my mind.
Chen Lu felt that his heart hurt so much, as if a sharp knife had been stabbed into him. The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe. The tears that opened the floodgates could no longer be controlled and flowed down.
When raising pigs, Wang Qiang also told himself that there was nothing to be afraid of as a soldier and he had to be at the front. But...he would have no chance to be at the front in the future.
The inexplicable sadness in Chen Lu's heart became stronger and stronger. He held his head in his hands and kept shaking his shoulders.
In the sky, the crescent moon struggled to expose half of its body. The weak moonlight covered the entire camp. Through the glass windows, in the dark dormitory, the shadows of the iron frame beds were cast. One of the beds was empty.
The half-hidden curtains swayed slightly, and the wind picked up again.
This night, the atmosphere in Class [-] dormitory was very depressing.
No one spoke for the whole night. Originally, in this battle, Chen Lu had performed meritorious service and volunteered to be a hostage, killing one militant and wounding two others.
Class [-] must have made collective contributions, but because of Wang Qiang's incident, no one mentioned it, and no one wanted to think about this mission.
Thinking about Wang Qiang being amputated and retiring, I felt panicked. This is not a matter of commendation.
Starting today, they lost a veteran and a comrade...
Chen Lu was lying on the bed, his head still in a daze.I don’t know when I fell asleep.
The next day, at six o'clock in the morning.
In the dormitory, everyone sat on the edge of the bed on time and neatly, but only one bed was empty.
Hey!
I don't know who sighed heavily, and a new day began.
"Chen Lu"
After breakfast, the company commander's guard shouted loudly from downstairs.
"arrive."
In the dormitory, Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, then trotted to the corridor and stuck his head out.
"Today's newcomer assessment is cancelled."
The guard recognized Chen Lu and raised his neck and shouted.
In fact, as the best recruit in history, it was difficult for the reconnaissance company to find anyone who didn't know Chen Lu.
……
In an instant, inside the dormitory.
"You can do it. When you left the production base, we were still wondering if you were going on a blind date. It turned out that you were participating in the new special forces assessment."
Rocket player Wang Yu stared at Chen Lu who returned to the dormitory in surprise.
Deng Hua thought for a while, frowned and said, "That's not right, you have only been with the company for ten days, and you are not qualified to take part in the assessment!"
I don't want to participate either... Chen Lu's mouth twitched slightly, "Special application from the company commander."
"Damn it! It turns out that people can't compare to each other."
Hu Ming swore directly, "I've been here for more than a year before I had a chance. No wonder yesterday Lao Wang suspected whether you were the company commander's illegitimate son."
As he spoke, his voice dropped.
The dormitory became quiet again, and the atmosphere was depressing.
At 08:30, everyone gathered in the playground.
In the center of the team, two people stood under the national flag, Battalion Commander Fang and a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, black hair, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.
On Camp Commander Fang's dark face, the melanin in the two eye sockets was particularly obvious, and there were a few bloodshot eyes in his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night.
At this time, Battalion Commander Fang stood in front of the team and introduced the middle-aged man to everyone, "This is Counselor Chen from our brigade headquarters. He is a psychology expert at our brigade headquarters. Counselor Chen will teach you today."
After speaking, Battalion Commander Fang took the lead in applauding.
After a while, warm applause broke out from the team.
This is for everyone's psychological advice... In the team, Chen Lu clapped his hands and immediately understood.
When he was at home, he heard from the chief's grandfather that whether he was in the army or the law enforcement bureau, if there was a shooting, especially if a target was killed, the unit would arrange for a professional psychological counselor to come and provide guidance.
For example, special police officers and soldiers who perform target shooting need to take psychological classes regularly.
At that time, the beautiful aunt kept asking questions, and grandma was also full of gossip. Chen Lu vaguely remembered that because of the pressure from grandma, that day was the day when his unsmiling grandpa talked the most at home.
I didn't expect that I would meet him so soon.
In the reconnaissance camp, three companies have classes together, with more than 300 people. There is no such a big classroom, so classes are simply held on the large playground.
After Battalion Commander Fang went down, counselor Chen held up a "loud loudspeaker" and started teaching.
At first, Chen Lu was quite interested, but as he listened, he became bored and didn't feel much.
To put it bluntly, it is brainwashing and psychological construction for yourself. Believe that you shot because of justice and for more people. Don't have any psychological burden.
Is there any psychological burden?
Chen Lu frowned slightly and asked himself.
Although it was his first time to kill someone, he didn't know if it was due to the system. He really didn't feel much, and he didn't have any sequelae after the battle.
As for whether others were there, he didn't know, but looking at the constant yawning expressions on the scene, even if there were, the impact would not be big.
In fact, the scouts are all elite, and there is no such thing as being really fragile.
Everyone behaved so lowly, that is, they couldn't bear the sacrifice of their comrades. If it weren't for this, they would even be celebrating.
Now they can only wait for their comrades to sacrifice themselves and be lost to time before they can recover.
pressure?
shadow?
nonexistent.
This is the tradition of the Yan Kingdom. They fear war and fear death, but when it comes, they will never be afraid because they have their own beliefs.
Yawning, Chen Lu also wanted to finish class early.
