Chapter 58: The Qualities of a Soldier

Wei Xuefeng called himself a "veteran", which made all the recruits under the rostrum feel very cordial.

Standing in the queue, the solemn feeling that this lieutenant colonel was not bad.

looks murderous, but when he speaks, he doesn't beat around the bush at all, doesn't play official, speaks very closely, and is very appetizing.

Everyone's tense nerves relaxed, and many people's military postures began to relax.

"Be serious! Stand still! ”

Wei Xuefeng's interruption like a thunderbolt startled everyone.

Those who serve in the army have a very loud voice.

Solemnity felt both ears buzzing, like someone was holding a trumpet and roaring in his ear.

This time, it was the first time he had seen the power of the regiment leader Wei Xuefeng.

"I hope this is the last time you'll appear in front of me in this military posture!" Wei Xuefeng straightened his chest and pulled his back, and shouted at the more than 1,000 recruits under his hands: "After you put on the rank, I don't want to see my soldiers standing in front of me like a noodle, I want you to turn into a piece of iron!" A piece of steel! A pestle will go there and it will ring! I don't care what kind of soldiers are trained by other troops, but the soldiers from my 273rd Regiment of Wei Xuefeng are not like this! ”

On the side of the rostrum, Deputy Political Commissar Zhao Zhisheng looked at his watch and whispered to Political Commissar Zhao Zhisheng: "Political Commissar, this is the title ceremony, the head of the regiment has trained people again, do you want to ......?"

Zhao Zhisheng shook his head: "No, the head of the regiment said it very well, let him say it." ”

He looked at Wei Xuefeng's back with a smile and said, "Sometimes, I think he is more suitable to be a political commissar than me. ”

Wei Xuefeng saw that the recruits below were all tense in their military posture, and the tense muscles on his face relaxed slightly.

"Remember! When you put on the rank and become a soldier, you must keep in mind the four most basic qualities. ”

"First of all, loyalty!"

"Loyalty is the most basic quality that a soldier must be equipped with! Loyalty is like the foundation of an edifice, without which there is nothing! Be loyal to the party and the country, loyal to the people, and loyal to the hot land that nurtures you at your feet!! ”

"The second is responsibility! What does it mean to be responsible!? What does it mean to be a soldier? Being a soldier means that you have shouldered the responsibility of defending your homeland and the country, the responsibility of developing our country, and the responsibility of thousands of families in China living and working in peace and contentment! If an enemy dares to invade our country, we will beat him so hard that he will always see the words 'Chinese People's Liberation Army'! ”

"The third is dedication!"

Speaking of this, Wei Xuefeng lowered his head and actually paced back and forth in front of the microphone for a few steps, as if he was brewing emotions.

Finally, he stopped and returned to the microphone.

"It's been a long time since anyone mentioned the word dedication. But here, I'm going to mention! Those who serve as soldiers must be willing to give. The place where our 273rd Regiment is stationed is an open coastal city, I know that the lights outside are bright, I also know that there are crooked winds blowing outside, and we look at everything to money, and I know that we are very poor soldiers! Take you guys—"

He reached out and pointed at the recruits below, swiping by.

"You recruits, after being awarded the rank of private, the monthly allowance is only 35 yuan, even if your squad leader, those sergeants and sergeants, the maximum is 65 yuan! Even if you are a platoon commander, company commander, and battalion commander, the salary is only a few hundred! This money is not even enough for the next restaurant in the local area, but we did not come to the army to make a fortune. Remember what it means to give! Dedication is selflessness, that is, being willing to be bland, that is, sacrificing one's own happiness to fulfill the happiness of others! Remember that, or you won't be a good soldier! ”

"And one last point! That's bravery! What does it mean to be brave? To be brave is to be fearless! Courage is the most powerful weapon of a soldier! As the saying goes, the brave wins! Courage means that you still dare to move forward bravely in the face of opponents who are several times stronger than you, and dare to fight to the last drop of blood! Standing, you are a mountain; Lie down, and be a ridge too! Even if you die, let the blood splash on the enemy's face and let him know that your blood is hot and can kill your body, but it can't kill your military spirit! ”

The more Wei Xuefeng spoke, the more excited he became, a surging red oozed from under his dark skin, his fists clenched, and he waved vigorously in front of him a few times.

After two seconds of silence, Wei Xuefeng asked loudly, "Tell me!" As soldiers of the 273rd Regiment, can you do it - loyalty! Play! Dedication! Brave! Can!? ”

"Yes!"

"The damn voice is too small! Again, can you! ”

"Yes!!"

Zhuang Zhuang suddenly found that he had been beaten with chicken blood.

He liked Wei Xuefeng's speech.

In the speech of this regiment commander, every word and sentence has something that can hit the heart.

Fervor?

No, it should be said that it is something that is imprinted in the bones of this veteran, the kind of thing that has been integrated with his soul, only in this way can it be so infectious!

Hearing the overwhelming answer, the head of the regiment, Wei Xuefeng, finally showed a satisfied smile.

He waved his hand vigorously and said neatly: "Take the oath!" ”

Several veterans walked to the rostrum with military flags and unfurled the blood-red August 1 military flag.

A representative of the recruits ran out of the queue, stood on the side of the flag, and raised his right hand in a fist.

“”

All the recruits also raised their right hands.

"I am a citizen of the People's Republic of China, and it is my honorable duty to perform military service in accordance with the law.

For each sentence recited by the recruit representative, the recruits below began to recite a sentence.

"Love the Communist Party of China, love the socialist motherland, love the Chinese People's Liberation Army, carry out the army's orders, regulations, and rules and regulations, obey orders, obey commands, strive to study military, political, scientific and cultural affairs, painstakingly train the ability to kill the enemy, cherish weapons and equipment, guard military secrets, carry forward fine traditions, participate in the building of socialist material and spiritual civilization, and fight bravely." We are not afraid of sacrifice, defend the motherland, and defend socialist construction. I will resolutely fulfill the above oath and will never violate it! ”

The sound was like the waves of the Yangtze River and the waves of the Yellow River, sweeping across the large playground of the 273rd Regiment, and then echoing in the camp and hovering in the sky.

More than a thousand recruits, their hearts surging at the moment.

This is the most sacred moment he feels since his solemn enlistment, and it is also the most sacred moment in his life.

After taking the oath, the platoon commander began to put on the rank and the odd flower cockade for each recruit in his platoon.

After doing all this, with the "Salute to the Flag!" More than 1,000 hands raised and saluted the bright August 1 military flag next to the rostrum.

Yan Yan felt that at this moment, his life seemed to change.

His three-year military career really began here.
