114. The military salute is silent

Seeing that other squadrons and district teams have already begun to conduct recruit training, such as basic queue training; Especially those cadets who entered the school in September, one by one, have already shouted in the playground.

But Sangou and their district team have a very slow pace, and Captain Ding still doesn't mean to call everyone to the playground, so he still goes to the big classroom today.

Today is the military salute class, and it has been a few years since the officers, who still doesn't know the military salute, but now they are students, and they have to abide by the arrangement of class affairs and the discipline of the class.

A few anxious monkeys who want to learn professional skills and tactical command as soon as possible, such as Hong Dabiao, Xiong Baikui, and Li Yancheng, are still impatient, and go to school step by step.

Captain Ding's eyes were very sharp, and he had already discovered that they were in a hurry, but he wanted to sharpen their temperament and talk about the military salute slowly.

also specially called Li Yanchen out of the queue to demonstrate, after a few days of getting along, Sangou gradually learned some basic information about everyone, this Li Yancheng, his original unit is very special.

What a special law, his Hunan people, many Hunan soldiers are cannon barrels, straight to the hot temperament, this is not a special thing.

What is really special is that he is a native of Hunan Jiahe, and the 23rd Division where he is located, from the division commander Li Bifan to the soldiers, most of them are Hunan Jiahe people, and they are a modern Hunan army.

It is normal for them to walk around the barracks and run into uncles and cousins from time to time, often a platoon from a village and a company from a township.

Fighting tiger brothers and going into battle with fathers and sons, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the troops connected by hometown and family affection is very strong; The Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, the Guangdong Army, and the Yunnan Army are also troops linked together by local conditions, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Of course, the troops of a county like the 23rd Division, this is also only rare. First, in an ordinary small county town, it is difficult to gather a whole division is strength.

Second, the above is not very willing to see a lot of such troops, just imagine, the personnel of this kind of army must be monolithic, don't want to meddle in the above, you want to arrange a foreigner to go in, it is not to be squeezed to death.

If the commander-in-chief, division commander, and commander of the army are conscious, it will be fine; As if enlightened, such a force could easily become a private military force, and if it developed into a large force, it would be a warlord who resisted the central government.

Therefore, when the commander of a unit reaches a certain level, he must often be transferred to another unit, or transferred to another unit at a higher level, because he is afraid that you will engage in private armed forces and will not be controlled by the central authorities.

However, it is also a very special thing that the 23rd Division can be allowed to do this, but this is also a product of this era, when the central government was not effective, the country was divided, and warlords were everywhere.

The big warlords haven't done it, and they're having a headache, so let's put the small ones aside for the time being, and just obey the central government on the surface.

Having said that, this Li Yancheng stood up with a golden knife, and Captain Ding motioned for him to salute like a superior, and as soon as he leaned on his feet and straightened his body, he snapped and raised his hand.

The action looks quite standard, and Captain Ding raised his hand to salute back, pointing out some things that should be corrected, such as:

When saluting, the upper body is upright, the right hand is quickly raised with a shortcut, the five fingers are put together and naturally straightened, the middle finger is slightly connected to the right corner of the brim about 2 cm in front of the right corner of the hat (when wearing a brimmed hat, beanie hat or military hat, the temple is slightly connected to the same height as the eyebrows), the palm of the hand is downward, slightly outward (about 20 degrees), the wrist must not be bent, the right big arm is slightly flat, slightly in line with the shoulders, and at the same time look at the recipient.

When a superior calls to him, he should salute and immediately reply, "Yes, sir," and immediately after receiving an order from his superior, "Yes, sir." ”

When you meet your superiors for the first time every day, you should stand up and salute (raise your hand), and your superiors will salute in return; When peers come into contact with each other, they should also salute each other; When the guards change shifts, they salute each other; The distance between salutes is 5-7 steps.

Before entering the superior room, shout "report", knock on the door, and only after getting permission can you enter, stand still and salute; When the matter is done, stand and salute before exiting.

Sometimes, of course, there is no hierarchy of salutes; Military salute is like other etiquette, but it is used by soldiers, when soldiers want to express their respect, gratitude and other feelings, they can salute the military, not necessarily to their superiors.

However, it is not necessary to salute in casual attire, in non-military public places, and in operational operations such as shooting, training, dining, recreation, sports, labor, etc.

The earliest meaning of the military salute is to show respect to the other party that he has no weapon in his hand, and at the same time put his legs together in an upright posture to show the fearless spirit of the soldiers.

The current military salute, which also includes silent respect, respect, gratitude and other feelings, are all reflected in this simple and solemn hand salute.

Although it is verbose, it is very systematic and professional, and everyone thinks back to what they have experienced before, what they have not done, and what needs to be improved, which is quite effective.

In the past, I raised my hand again and again and saluted many military salutes, but now, with a pious and serious face, I learned and practiced from scratch, and saluted my superiors; Salute to your classmates; To yourself, salute.

Salute to the heavens! Salute to the earth! I am worthy of heaven and earth.

Haruka to the elderly parents at home, salute! Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and all words are in the silent military salute.

Salute to those old soldiers! Veterans don't die, they just wither.

Salute to those comrades-in-arms who have been sleeping for a long time! You are the heroes of the nation.

Salute to your comrades-in-arms who will eventually part ways in the future! Shouting out comrades-in-arms, the feelings of reluctance are all in the wordless military salute.

Soldiers, raising their right hands again and again, are loyalty, faith, unfilial piety, reluctance, grievance, and moving, and only we know and understand best.

The military salute is silent, and everything is silent.

……

In the past, Sangou went from a simple student to a coolie with a little social experience, and never experienced the life of the military camp, even if it was military training in school, it was just simple civilian training.

And now, slowly integrated into the iron flow in the barracks, I really feel the pride and pride of a soldier, and truly feel the responsibility and responsibility for the country and the people.

Although he still can't be a qualified soldier now, Sangou is still working hard to learn with everyone, to feel, to integrate, to digest, and to sublimate.
