Walking on the concrete floor of the tarmac, Zhou Hai was tall and high-spirited, and he raised his right hand and waved it, which was counted as a reply.

The sun is blazing and the breeze is blowing.

The multi-plane formation air battle ended, and the flight cadets of the two countries won the competition, and now, Zhou Hai, Li Guanfeng, and other participating students, under the greeting of political commissar Qin Ling, lined up to the base playground.

The Russian cadet team, led by a Russian officer, gathered in a formation and went to the base playground to become witnesses.

On the rostrum of the playground of the base, two red banners were hung - "Congratulations on the end of the pilot competition between China and Russia" and "Commendation Conference for Participating Students".

All flight cadets and flight instructors, ground support troops, soldiers of the base defense unit, military chiefs and personnel of various departments, and the Russian visiting team gathered about 400 people and gathered in a team under the rostrum.

Everyone was dressed in solemn and majestic uniforms, wearing military hats printed with the August 1st badge, standing in the most standard military posture, quiet and orderly, waiting quietly.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the air.

The wind is beautiful and the sun is shining.

In the middle of the rostrum, the principal and the Russian generals in regular clothes stood quietly, their backs straight, their faces dignified, revealing a majestic posture.

A total of eight officers stood on either side, four from the Russian side and four from the own side, the outermost position to the left of the supreme commander of the base.

Soon, the eight participating students who lined up to run forward arrived at the playground commendation meeting under the leadership of Qin Ling, the political commissar of the base.

"Good boy, this battle is a bit big, the headmaster is here." Li Guanfeng, who was standing at the front of the queue, saw this scene, secretly smacked his tongue and did not dare to speak.

All the participating students, including Zhou Hai, saw the principal and the Russian generals on the rostrum, and they all straightened their chests and showed their proper posture.

The Russian cadet team ran into the playground and, under the guidance of the Russian officers, gathered under the rostrum.

"All of them, all of them." Qin Ling, the political commissar of the base, led everyone to the side of the rostrum, made a loud voice, and gave instructions: "Take a break, stand upright!" ”

Today, countless eyes are on me.

Eight people have solemn faces, puff out their chests, their bodies stand upright like benchmarks, hold the pilot's helmet in their right hands, and make corresponding movements in unison.

"Report to the chief, the participating student team is here, please instruct!" Political Commissar Qin Ling had a solemn face, turned around and walked up the steps, raised his hand to salute the principal, and reported loudly.

The principal raised his hand in return, stared at Qin Ling with both eyes, and said solemnly: "According to the original plan." ”

"All on stage." Qin Ling turned around, greeted the eight people, and gave an order.

After receiving the order, the eight people who gathered the attention of all the personnel of the commendation meeting, headed by Li Guanfeng, had a steady posture and a strong pace, and walked up the steps in an orderly manner, stepped into the rostrum filled with a solemn atmosphere, and faced more than 400 people under the stage.

Military posture, upright.

Immediately afterwards, the march of the Chinese People's Army was played, and the familiar melody was transmitted through the amplification equipment in the playground, which resounded throughout the commendation meeting.

This is the rhythm of countless martyrs who condensed with their blood and lives and fought for it.

This is the only one in the world, exclusive to the Chinese People's Army.

Sacred and solemn, inviolable. ——

After the march of the Chinese people's army is played, the melody of the Russian military song will sound, and as a formal occasion for exchanges between the two armies, it must be carried out in strict accordance with the corresponding rules and regulations.

After the Russian military song was played, the entire venue was silent.

"First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate the end of the pilot competition between the two countries, and thank the Russian delegation for the arrival of the delegation.

The principal took the microphone from the hands of Qin Ling, the political commissar of the base, and faced all the people in the Dancheng training base, his eyes revealed a wise and deep color, and his voice was slightly low:

"Beside me, there are the best eight eagles, who won the final victory of the competition with their excellent performance and style, and now please applaud them!"

"Bang Bang!"

In an instant, warm applause rang out like a tide, and all the staff under the rostrum applauded one after another, extending the warmest wishes to the eight people who won the game.

"Their performance deserves our affirmation, in addition to winning the first honor of the competition, now the aviation school party committee has decided to award eight young eagles with third-class meritorious service awards!" The headmaster's face was solemn and serious, his eyes were from left to right, and his voice was short and powerful.

First in the competition!

Third-class meritorious service award!

These are the coveted honors of many cadets and soldiers throughout the base.

There is only one, and it is exciting enough, let alone two honors.

Many trainees of the normal training system have cast envy at the eight people.

This moment is a glorious moment for the eight young eagles.

Zhou Hai raised his head slightly, Li Guanfeng's right hand was clenched, his eyes were moist, and he couldn't bear the excitement, Wang Fei and the rest of the flight students, no matter how excited they were, all tried to maintain a solemn posture.

At this time, all eyes are on.

At the moment, the light is dazzling.

All the staff in the audience once again gave warm applause, and then a military music with a sense of history and mission was played.

On the stage, the political commissar of the base and the supreme commander of the base, as well as two lieutenant colonel officers, with solemn faces, dressed in regular clothes, holding metal plates covered by bright red cloth in their hands, stepped on the most standard queue etiquette steps, and walked in front of the eight people step by step.

The red cloth metal plates carried by the four people were eight red ribbons with special patterns, eight red military merit certificates, eight delicate and bright red red flowers, and eight third-class military merit medals that reflected the brilliant light like jewels, as well as eight honorary certificates of honor for the first place in the competition between the flight cadets of the two countries.

Red!

Eye-catching red, red that carries history and honor!

No one knows better than the Chinese soldiers what it means to be red, and it is something they have been fighting for.

The principal put down the microphone, stood in front of Li Guanfeng with a serious face, took out the red ribbon and the big red flower from the red cloth metal plate with his own hands, and set the number for Li Guanfeng, and then picked up the golden third-class military merit medal and put it on his neck, and finally handed over the red certificate and honorary certificate by hand.

Li Guanfeng, Wang Fei, Zhan Jie, Hu Wei, Wu Ping, Fang Song, Li Bing, Zhou Hai, in order, the principal had a gentle face, not impatient or impatient, and personally wore military medals to the eight participating students one by one.

"Students, you are about to graduate, go to Shicheng Flying Academy to learn to fly advanced training aircraft, work hard, and strive to become the eagle of the motherland and protect the blue sky."

With slightly old hands, he gently gave Zhou Hai a third-class meritorious service medal, and then handed over the red certificate and honorary certificate with his own hands, and the principal showed a kind color, patted Zhou Hai's shoulder, looked at everyone, and extended the blessings of the elders.
