When everyone returned to the row house, Zhang Heping did not come back with the team, and they didn't know where they went.

If Zhang Heping disappointed the soldiers of the third district team on the day when the red-card officer participated in the examination soldiers' faces.

The trainees of the third district team had no good feelings for this new district captain. After all, Zhuyu was in the front, and although the acting district captain Luo Xiaoming was strict, he was also a top training person. He was very good in the coaching team. Why? Whole, others are convinced.

For Zhang Heping, who couldn't even throw a grenade at 60 meters, those arrogant students felt that they were half short in front of the students in other districts, and their chests seemed to be blocked by steel blocks, and their anger was not smooth.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Liu Ruiyong said angrily, "How come he was transferred to our district team at his level? The squadron leader doesn't know what to think, such a district leader should also..."

Zhuang Yan felt that Zhang Heping was actually quite pitiful. To be honest, it was really a kind of sadness for a soldier to be mixed up like this in the army.

Maybe he was in a hurry to transfer away, and he was a little self-aware.

No one wants to continue to suffer in this environment.

As soon as Liu Ruiyong finished speaking, Zhang Heping appeared at the door, startling the former.

The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassed, and the row room was as quiet as a morgue.

Zhang Heping didn't say a word, walked into the small private room in the eyes of everyone, and closed the door.

Soon the door opened.

Holding his quilt and carrying his luggage, he walked to Qian Zhongjun.

"Monitor Eight, where can I sleep?"

Qian Zhongjun was a little confused.

Zhang Heping asked again: "Can I sleep in that bed?"

He pointed to the solemn upper bunk.

That was Lao Qi's bunk, which has been empty since Lao Qi left.

"District captain..."

Qian Zhongjun felt a little embarrassed. Although in the afternoon, Deputy Commander Cai, Lieutenant General Zhang Heping, was dismissed and asked him to become a cadet soldier, but the person standing in front of him was a red-carded officer anyway.

Is it really to use him as a soldier?

However, everyone suddenly noticed that Zhang Heping had now put on a camouflage uniform that he had never worn before, and the red card rank on his shoulders had also been removed, replaced by a somewhat old sergeant rank.

"I'm no longer the district captain, I'm a student." Zhang Heping looked gloomy, "From now on, I'll be a student soldier in the district team, just like everyone else."

At this point, Qian Zhongjun couldn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Okay, that bunk used to belong to the seventh squad leader. He went to the military academy, and it's been empty. You can use it."

Zhang Heping put the quilt and bed in the past, tidied it up, and placed his toothpaste, toothbrush, and vat above the long locker, along with other people's toiletries.

All the students were watching Zhang Heping's every move.

However, when Zhang Heping arranged the toiletry tools behind the long string of dark green military mouth cups, Zhuang Yan suddenly felt that this red-card officer was not as bad as he imagined.

At least Zhang Heping did not lose face or put down the air of an officer after being severely trained by Deputy Commander Cai, but he really took on the rank of sergeant and became a student.

"The captain of the third district, the squadron captain is looking for you, right next to the basketball court." The document Liao Huang suddenly appeared at the door, poked his head inside, saw Zhang Heping, and shouted.

Hearing that someone called him "the captain of the three districts", Zhang Heping was stunned for a moment, and then continued to lower his head to clean up his locker.

As he cleaned up, he said, "There is no three-district captain here."

Liao Huang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhang Heping, the captain told you to go out."

Zhang Heping then stood up, picked up the little hat on the bed, put it on his head, and walked out.

On the side of the basketball court, Zhou Huping glanced at the sergeant rank on Zhang Heping's shoulder.

Along the barracks and training ground, the two turned around and around again.

The two never spoke.

When he walked to the equipment field for the second time, Zhou Huping pointed to the water shooting training board and said, "Sit down."

After sitting down, Zhou Huping took out his cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and finally picked up the topic: "Zhang Heping, if possible, I really want to kick you out of my squadron."

Zhang Heping said: "I know, I shouldn't be here, you don't welcome people like me."

Zhou Huping looked at him and asked, "Since you know, why did you come to our army?"

Zhang Heping was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Since I was born, everyone around me thinks that I belong to this army. My family is a military family, my grandfather is a soldier, and so is my father. Chinese people like to pay attention to the inheritance of the father's business. , but my mother doesn't like me joining the army."

Zhou Huping asked, "Why?"

"My grandfather died on the Korean battlefield, and my father died on the southern battlefield..." Zhang Heping's facial muscles trembled, he tried his best to restrain his emotions, took a deep breath and said, "My mother said that the road to a professional soldier is a path. The road achieved with life and blood is not something that ordinary people can take."

Zhou Huping was a little moved and said, "Your father is the deputy political commissar of our Shiyuan 273 regiment, did you know?"

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "I know, and when I was assigned, I could have gone back to the provincial military region. I asked to come here myself."

Zhou Huping said: "Since you know the nature of this army, why bother with yourself? Where is this place, you don't have any points in your heart? Serving in the army where your father was alive is the dream of many children of martyrs, but since you are here, It should take root and settle down, why did you start pulling relationships everywhere as soon as you came to report, why is this?"

Zhang Heping was silent, rubbing the sand on the ground with his feet, without saying a word for a long time.

"It's too hard, isn't it?" Zhou Huping put his eyes on his face: "Several 5-kilometer cross-country trips a day, on sunny or rainy days, all covered in mud, sweating more than drinking water, even for battalion-level cadres Participate in physical fitness tests and military assessments. This kind of life is not for ordinary people, I understand."

"I originally just had an inexplicable urge to serve in the army where my father fought, to experience the feelings of my father back then, and to look for the shadow of my father back then. But you know...you know, this army is too exclusive , these soldiers don't look down on other troops at all, let alone me as a public servant. I have tried everything to get in here, but they... they didn't take me seriously at all..."

"What do you know?" Zhou Huping interrupted him disdainfully, "On the first day you came to talk to me with a cigarette? Tell me on the first day that you want to be transferred to the headquarters to be a staff officer? This is how you fit in here?! Don't smear your face! Zhang Heping, you didn't plan to stay here well from the beginning!"

Zhang Heping lowered his head and said, "My special session is not military training. My military theory assessment is the first. I make the best use of my talents and resources. There is nothing wrong with me going to the headquarters as a staff officer!"

"Shit!" Zhou Huping threw the cigarette **** on the ground and asked, "You can't even be a grassroots commander, you still want to be a good staff officer?! Which of our division's staff members has never been a grassroots commander!? "

Zhou Huping's questioning made Zhang Heping feel ashamed.

He hooked his head~lightnovelpub.net~ for a while, and couldn't find anything to answer the squadron leader in front of him.

"I didn't come from this unit either. I was assigned here after taking the military academy exam from another unit, just like you."

He looked at Zhang Heping, who was a little surprised, and smiled: "Actually, being a qualified officer is easy and simple, but not easy. If you want to be a good officer, you must first be a good soldier. This unit is very martial , as long as you can do it militarily, then you will occupy the first mountain in the minds of these soldiers."

Zhang Heping's surprise has not yet subsided, and Zhou Huping continued: "Do you know how your father died? At that time, the 273rd regiment marched into Gaoping, and the Sixth Company was responsible for interspersed. Your father personally led the team to reinforce the blocked Sixth Company, who was..."

He patted Zhang Heping on the shoulder: "Your father's record and photos are still in the Shishi Museum, you can go and see if you have time. Back then, your father could save his comrades without even dying, but as soon as you came, you made a report and asked to be transferred. Li, do you think, who would look down on a district captain who gave up his troops for fear of hardship?"

That night, the two of them kept talking about the sound of the horn for dinner.

That night, Zhang Heping lost sleep...
