Chapter 1193 Old Ma Retires

Lao Ma has retired from the army.

He served in the front-line field troops for more than ten years and once won first place in the division's five-kilometer cross-country race. He was a good soldier with excellent military qualities and has retired.

When we returned to the regiment headquarters to handle the formalities, just like in the original drama, the soldiers from the third company and the soldiers who had been led by Lao Ma all came to see us off.

Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi also came along. Although they had only met less than ten times in the past six months, they had already become good friends, good comrades, and good partners. They all got along very well.

Xu Sanduo shed tears, and he was not the only one, many people's eyes were red, such as Shi Jin and He Hongtao, the instructor of the third company.

Lao Ma is very popular. You can’t tell on the grassland, but once he returns to the regiment, Lao Ma knows people everywhere and people give him cigarettes everywhere.

Of course, it is still not as good as Wang's. After all, when he went to the regiment commander and the political commissar, he would cross his legs and smoke, and when he left, he had to take two boxes...

Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi stood together and saluted Lao Ma from a distance.

Old Ma stood in the distance and returned the salute solemnly. Perhaps, this was the most standard military salute he had given in recent years.

Then he smiled, waved, and turned away.

Xu Sanduo was still sobbing there. Wang Yan walked over and dragged him out of the team. He kicked him on the butt, causing him to stagger.

"Go and see the old squad leader off."

Xu Sanduo pursed his lips, burst into tears, turned around and ran wildly, catching up with Lao Ma.

Everyone watched as the two of them slowly walked away, their backs filled with indescribable sadness...

Only when they could no longer see their backs did the soldiers who were seeing them off disperse.

Although Shi Jin's eyes were red, he still smiled and said when he saw Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi, "It's okay. Everyone has to go one day. It's not like we won't see each other anymore. We can still call and write to each other in the future. It's no big deal."

Wu Liuyi glanced at him and said, "Are you trying to comfort yourself?"

"Isn't that obvious enough?" Wang Yan continued, "But it's true. There will always be a day like this. Sadness is only temporary. You can't say that if one of you leaves, you can't do your job well in the future. Technology is getting more and more advanced now. Computers can video chat. Maybe mobile phones will be able to video chat in the future. Trains are also getting faster and faster. If we really want to meet for a drink, it will definitely be easier and easier."

"Just forget it." Wu Liuyi waved his hand and said, "If you just happened to pass by and stop by, that's fine. But if you want to meet and get together on purpose, I'm afraid it will be rare in this life. Everyone has a big family to support, and they have to work hard every day. How can they have the time for that?"

Shi Jin kicked forward, but Wu Liuyi dodged nimbly.

Shi Jin laughed and scolded, "You know you have a family to support, so why don't you care? You haven't been home for two years, right? Go back and take a vacation this year. You can still spend the New Year at home and go on a blind date. You are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married and have children."

"I won't go back. There's no point in going back. I have four children in my family, and they don't need me anymore. The eldest and the third child already have children, so it's always lively."

Wu Liuyi's ideas are still ahead.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Then don't you have to go back and see your parents too? If you are like me who has no home, that's fine, but you have a big family with both parents, you should go back and see them. I'm not cursing you, but life is full of accidents, and no one knows what will happen in the future, so you should still cherish it."

"We've reached a certain altitude, right?" Shi Jin patted Wang Yan's shoulder. "The army is your home, don't overthink it."

"Don't comfort me. I'm used to it. It's nothing. I'm just sharing my personal experience so that Comrade Wu Liuyi can correct his thinking."

"Did you hear that? It's time to go back and check."

"Why don't you go back?"

"I have a wife and children, and my wife takes good care of my parents at home." Shi Jin smiled happily.

"Oh, look at you like that..." Wu Liuyi couldn't stand the happy smile. Maybe he was a little disturbed, so he turned around and ran away.

Wang Yan and Shi Jin were left strolling back, chatting and laughing...

After a while, Xu Sanduo ran back with red eyes.

"Look, even the iron-hearted fool has red eyes from crying." Bai Tiejun asked with a smile, "Sanduo, what do you feel now?"

"I don't want the monitor to leave."

"It's over?"

"Ah." Xu Sanduo nodded blankly. "The squad leader said that we all have to leave, it's just a matter of time. The army has such rules, and none of us can do anything about it. Even if we have a way, we can't stay, otherwise how can we guarantee the combat effectiveness of our army? They are all a bunch of rubbish, so what's the point of fighting? If a war really breaks out, we can just surrender.

The squad leader also told me to write to him more often after I return home, and that I could go visit him when I am on vacation or pass by his home, and he even asked his son to toast me.

As he spoke, Xu Sanduo smiled foolishly again, but tears also flowed.

"It's over." Bai Tiejun waved his hands in annoyance, and then said, "I tell you, when I leave, I will definitely not cry. What's the big deal? It's like a farewell of life and death."

Wu Liuyi smiled and said, "We all remember it."

"I saw that day, did you cry?" Gan Xiaoning did the same, laughing and joining in the fun.

Bai Tiejun didn't care: "I won't cry!"

"What should I do if I cry?" Wang Yan asked with a smile.

"If you cry, I'll call you daddy."

"Good son, Daddy is waiting for you to cry."

"Damn it!" Bai Tiejun shouted and then rushed towards Gan Xiaoning.

If the current eleven people in the class were ranked based on their individual combat effectiveness, Wang Yan would be first, Wu Liuyi second, and Gan Xiaoning third. He is stronger than Shi Jin.

Bai Tiejun was no match for Gan Xiaoning. As expected, Gan Xiaoning pushed him onto the bed in a few seconds. A group of people surrounded him and held him down, calling him son and tickling him. Suddenly, there was a lot of noise and joy...

Lao Ma left. It was He Hongtao, the instructor of the third company, who drove Lao Ma to the railway station. Several other people from the fifth squad also followed him to see Lao Ma off at the railway station.

More than half a month later, Wang Yan, Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, and Xu Sanduo all received a letter from Lao Ma. In the letter, Lao Ma said that he had become a policeman and was a regular public security officer in the police station. He also said that he had been working for a few days and felt particularly uncomfortable.

Not only was he not adapting to work, but also to life and everything else. In the letter, he used words such as "free", "at a loss", and "out of tune" to describe his state.

After serving in the army, returning to normal life after discharge, of course, requires adaptation. Even though Lao Ma is in the fifth squad and is relatively lazy, it is still different. It takes a while to integrate.

The letter also included a photo of Lao Ma in police uniform with his wife and children. From their faces, we can tell that his wife is gentle and virtuous, his children are naughty, and their family is happy.

Lao Ma said he felt good!
Judging from the fact that he sent a letter with a photo to each of Wang Yan and others, Lao Ma spent a lot of money this time. He must have written letters to many of his comrades, saying something individually and attaching the same photo, which would cost him several hundred yuan.

Everyone was very happy, happy for Lao Ma.

Considering that there were not many photos, Wang Yan ran to the propaganda officer to get a camera. It was Officer Zhang who went to interview the fifth squad of the grassland in the original play, and who was later blocked in the office by Gao Cheng and the soldiers of the seventh company because of his random writing.

One of his more famous sayings is, 'Why am I carrying a crappy Japanese digital camera?'

What Wang Yan brought was that broken Japanese digital camera. Whether Officer Zhang was willing or not was not a consideration. In short, he had to give it to him. He got the camera and a lot of film. Wang Yan took pictures of Shi Jin and others, and when he went out for training, he also took pictures of the Grassland Class 5. He also went to the third company commander and the instructor, and took pictures of some people who had a good relationship with Lao Ma. Even the regiment commander, political commissar and other regiment leaders were taken by Wang Yan.

In addition, the barracks of the Grassland 5th Squad were photographed inside and out. It was classified, but not classified either. There were some problems, but they were not big. They were all left for Lao Ma's memories.

Then he threw the film to Secretary Zhang and asked him to develop it and make several copies.

This is the result of Zhang's hard work, taking advantage of the regiment, after all, it is the regiment that pays for it. The regiment commander, political commissar and others will not mind, these are all trivial matters not worth mentioning.

After the photos were developed, Wang Yan wrote back to Lao Ma and attached a thick stack of photos. I believe Lao Ma will be happy to take the photos and tell his wife and children who this is, what his story is, where this is, and what happened here.

It should be warm and happy...

It was already winter, and the heavy snow that had fallen a few days ago had not yet melted all over the grassland. Every breath was bitterly cold.

Chariots and tanks raced through the snow, artillery roared, and the hills in the distance, due to the power of the shells, turned up the soil underneath and covered it with snow. From a distance, it looked like a piece of rice paper with a little ink on it.

This is the poetry of the iron torrent army, a unique charm that few people are in the mood to appreciate.

Because of the cold.

Even though the soldiers were wearing thick clothes, they still couldn't withstand the temperatures of minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius and the biting cold wind.

But we have to resist.

The troops also have cold-resistance training, rolling around in the snow with bare chests. It is truly training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer...

This time, the whole regiment is conducting a cold winter training camp, which can be said to be grand.

But the good thing is that there is not as much dust as in spring, summer and autumn, but that's all...

The chariots stopped in a circle, shielding themselves from the strong wind. The soldiers jumped off the chariots one by one and began to set up camp.

"Oh, don't you think there's a good time to be a soldier? Not to mention the exhaustion, it's cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and there are strong winds in the spring and autumn. My hands and feet are frozen, numb and itchy, it's so uncomfortable. When I think about having to sleep here in such a cold weather, oh, it's really killing me..."

Bai Tiejun started complaining again.

Shi Jin laughed and scolded, "Are you the only one who's cold? We're all here together, not just you. You're here to be a soldier, not to enjoy yourself, so stop complaining. How about we have a good chat when we get back?"

"Goodbye, goodbye, that's all I said."

"Then don't say anything. You are the one who is the most procrastinating." Wu Liuyi glared at him, "Hurry up and work. Light the fire and warm up. Look at Sanduo, he never talks much."

"He's already surpassing you now. There's no comparison."

Bai Tiejun knows that nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.

Xu Sanduo, who was standing beside him, raised his head when he heard this: "I can't compare to the squad leader, by a long way."

"Don't be so modest." Gan Xiaoning said, "It's basically the same."

"Far from it." Xu Sanduo repeated.

He thought so, so he repeated it to express his attitude.

Then he came close to Wang Yan and asked in a low voice: "Wang Yan, the whole group is training today. Chengcai is here too, right?"

"If he didn't have other missions, he would definitely come. Want to go and take a look?"

"I've been here for three months, and I haven't met Chengcai yet."

"Want me to take you there?"

Xu Sanduo nodded vigorously.

He didn't dare to tell Gao Cheng, because he didn't know anyone after he got out, and was afraid of problems. Wang Yanren was very familiar with people and could solve these problems very well.

Wang Yan smiled, then said something to Shi Jin and Gao Cheng, and took Xu Sanduo to the first battalion.

Actually, Wang Yan had been to the Third Company before. He ran there to take a photo of Lao Ma. But at that time, Xu Sanduo could not leave the team. After all, no one had his privileges.

In the 702nd Regiment, no one with connections can be as effective as Wang. After all, he is the representative figure who uses an iron fist to open the road to success.

Two thousand people were stationed in the camp, and the area was quite large and the span was quite far. The two of them ran all the way against the wind.

"Become a talent!"

When we arrived at the third company, we saw Chengcai from a distance working and talking to people with a smile.

Xu Sanduo shouted, Chengcai looked over and then stopped laughing because he also saw the damned Wang Yan.

"Why are you here?"

But Chengcai still said something to the squad leader, came out, and nodded politely to Wang Yan.

"I've been here for such a long time, I wanted to see you." Xu Sanduo showed his mouthful of white teeth.

"Hey, you're talking so corny, it's pretty good in the Seventh Company, right?"

"it is good."

At this time, Chengcai took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured to Wang Yan: "Have a smoke."

Wang Yan took a look and saw that it was Tashan.

He smiled, and despite Xu Sanduo's wink, he accepted the cigarette: "Thanks."

"Why thank you for smoking? I heard that our regiment commander and political commissar lit cigarettes for you."

"Someone is trying to harm me." Wang Yan took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, waving his hand and saying, "Don't listen to what they say. I'm the one who always lights their cigarettes. I need to have the courage to ask them to light a cigarette for me. Okay, you two can't chat well if I'm here. You guys keep chatting, I'll go play with your company commander and instructor for a while."

Chengcai followed Wang Yan's gaze and saw that their company commander and instructor He Hongtao were already waving at Wang Yan.

"Old Liu, Old He." Wang Yan greeted them from a distance.

"Why are you coming to our territory?" He Hongtao's voice came over.

"Hey, I'm criticizing you. What do you mean by your territory? You shouldn't have a mountain-top mentality..."

Not everyone can light a cigarette for the regiment commander... Chengcai thought so until Xu Sanduo patted him on the shoulder. Then he came to his senses and talked to Xu Sanduo in a relaxed manner.

Xu Sanduo might have sensed the change in Chengcai's tone, or maybe not. He still bared his white teeth, answering Chengcai's questions and listening to Chengcai's various theories...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
