Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

"With great vigor and confidence, we stride over..."

The training team was huge and looked like a long dragon.

Qin Feng walked at the front of the team, holding the flag of the recruit company in his hand, which fluttered in the wind under the bright morning light.

These days, each class will send a representative to the front to carry the flag.

For soldiers, this is also a very honorable thing.

A little after nine in the morning, everyone arrived in front of a huge white arch.

The top of the arch is covered with orange-yellow glazed tiles, and below it are written six big characters: Southern Xinjiang Martyrs Cemetery.

And this is the end of this training trip.

Ge Zhiyong reassembled the team and spoke solemnly to the new recruits at the gate of the cemetery.

"Monuments stand tall in the sands, and green mountains comfort the loyal souls! Comrades, this is the end point of our training, and it is also the resting place of our ancestors!"

"Now, here's a task. Take out your towels and water bottles and wipe the martyrs' tombstones!"

The new recruits adjusted their uniforms and walked into the Martyrs' Cemetery with heavy hearts.

As if they were afraid of disturbing the heroic souls of the martyrs, everyone unconsciously slowed down their pace.

Directly in front of us is a conspicuous hero monument.

This monument is like a long knife piercing the sky.

On the monument, the large, gilded characters "The revolutionary martyrs will live forever" are vigorous and powerful.

On both sides of the road stand rows of martyrs' tombstones.

Each tombstone is grayish white with a bright five-pointed star on top.

Qin Feng squatted in front of a tombstone, wet the towel in his hand with water, and gently wiped the dusty tombstone twice.

The epitaph on the stone tablet tells the name and life experience of this hero.

【赵三江，?6?81963.4--1984.4,在L山战斗中光荣牺牲，?6?8追记一等功，?6?8并授予“钢铁战士”荣誉称号......】

Although there was no photo on the tombstone, Qin Feng could imagine the heroic appearance of this comrade.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, his childish face was filled with majesty and bravery.

With dreams in mind and passion in heart, we rush to the battlefield.

But in the end he was buried under these green hills.

Qin Feng's mood also became heavy at this moment.

When he left, he was still a young man, bravely defending his country.

The blood is shed on the battlefield, and the soul returns for eternity.

If it weren't for the selfless dedication of our ancestors, there would be no peaceful days today.

Qin Feng carefully wiped away all the dust with a towel, then stood up and bowed deeply.

"Deputy, come and see!"

Qin Feng turned around and found Chen Sanxi calling him.

He walked over quickly, but suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable feeling began to flow in my heart.

On the tombstone in front of Chen Sanxi, there was a bouquet of flowers and several laminated photos.

These photos are all of the latest warships and fighter jets independently developed by our Yan Country.

This is someone using today's prosperity to comfort the spirits of their ancestors in heaven.

With extremely complicated emotions, Qin Feng and Chen Sanxi wiped the monument clean together and bowed deeply.

In the cemetery, other people were also carefully wiping the tombstones.

And we learned about the life stories of martyrs one after another from the epitaphs.

Everyone was in a heavy mood and had a sad look on their faces.

Because there are many heroes here, their lives are frozen in the green years of eighteen or nineteen.

The youngest one was even fifteen years old.

This should be the most carefree age, but for the sake of their country, they picked up their guns and resolutely walked onto the battlefield...

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly noticed the somewhat lonely rows of tombstones on the left.

But unlike the previous ones, these tombstones only have a red heart on them.

And the four big words "revolutionary martyr".

War is cruel. After a war, many soldiers were bombed beyond recognition, and not even their bodies were left.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Some people get lost and cannot find their team, some are temporarily assigned to other teams, and some even die on the battlefield before they have time to register.

After their sacrifice, these people became unknown martyrs.

Looking at these tombstones without even names on them, Qin Feng's nose began to feel sore.

These gray, cold stone tablets in front of me were once flesh-and-blood people.

They are children who are loved by their parents, they also have beloved lovers and children they care about, and they have their own ideals and ambitions.

But in the end, not even a name was left behind.

"Come on, help wipe them."

Zhao Pengfei came up from behind, squatted on the ground and carefully wiped the tombstone with a towel.

Qin Feng's eyes were red, but he followed and wiped it carefully.

It was the only thing they could do.

"Monitor."

"what happened?"

"Do you think we will suddenly become martyrs one day?"

Zhao Pengfei paused for a moment, raised his head and looked at Qin Feng with a smile.

"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, and the final destination of soldiers is the battlefield. Although we are in peacetime now, no one can guarantee that war will not suddenly break out one day."

"When the country is in danger and the people are threatened, I am willing to follow in the footsteps of my ancestors and become a martyr."

"Squad leader, if I ever end up on the battlefield, I will definitely take the bullet for you!"

"Hahaha, it's a deal then. You'll have my back when the time comes."

Seeing Qin Feng's serious expression, Zhao Pengfei smiled with relief.

An hour later, all the tombstones in the Martyrs' Cemetery were wiped clean by everyone.

Unlike the previous days when they went to the mass grave to build up their courage, every recruit felt particularly at ease when they were in the martyrs' cemetery.

Even if they sleep here, no one will feel uncomfortable.

But just when Ge Zhiyong gathered the team and prepared to take everyone away.

Suddenly, an old figure wearing an old green military uniform appeared on the steps in front of the monument.

It was only through the company commander's introduction that everyone realized that this old man was the bugler on the battlefield that year.

An entire company, everyone was killed.

He was the only one who was trapped underneath the bodies of his comrades and managed to survive.

Because all his relatives were gone, he took the initiative to apply to be a guard at this cemetery.

The cuff of the old man's right hand was empty. When a gust of wind blew, the cuff swayed in the wind.

In his left hand he held a rusty trumpet.

A bright red cloth was tied to the handle of the trumpet.

The old man took a deep breath and put the trumpet to his mouth.

The end is raised high towards the sky, and then blown hard.

Beep, beep, beep—

Qin Feng's pupils shrank sharply, and goose bumps instantly covered his whole body.

All the recruits seemed to have their blood awakened, and their hair stood on end.

This sound is so familiar, it’s the charge!

In an instant, everyone seemed to be back on the battlefield filled with smoke and flames of war.

Young faces covered in blood passed by them without hesitation.

With the determination to die, he rushed towards the enemy's position with a gun in hand.

"Old comrades, wake up, the younger generations are here to see you!"

When the horn sounded, the old man shouted hoarsely.

And the rows of tombstones seemed to come alive.

The five-pointed star on the monument shone red in the sunlight, as if responding.

“Salute to the martyrs!”

"salute!"

Swish!

Following Ge Zhiyong's inspiring roar.

All the recruits raised their arms as if brandishing swords and puffed out their chests.

I pay my highest respects to all the solemn salutes in the cemetery!

.......

After leaving the Martyrs' Cemetery, everyone still felt like a stone was pressing on their hearts.

If they had not put on this military uniform, they might never have been able to deeply understand how much their ancestors had sacrificed in their entire lives.

Behind every victory is a living life.

The peace and prosperity we enjoy today were won with the blood of countless people.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace and keep the alarm bell ringing. As soldiers, they must always be vigilant.

Looking at the dull and serious team, Ge Zhiyong understood that there was no need for him to say anything more at this time.

After a trip to the Martyrs' Cemetery, everyone has their own insights and experiences.

But the way back is still long, and we can’t stay so serious and dull all the time.

He looked at the instructor Bi Yuan, who immediately understood and clapped his hands and spoke loudly.

"Come on, sing a song and raise the spirits!"

"I'll start!" Bi Yuan cleared his throat and sang loudly.

"Who am I in this vast sea of ​​people?"

"Among the surging waves, which one am I?"

"In the team guarding the national flag, the one fighting selflessly is me!"

"In the long river of glorious career, it is me who is always galloping!"

"I don't need you to know me, I don't need you to know me!"

"I integrate my youth into the mountains and rivers of my motherland..."

The loud singing voice flows among the green mountains and clear waters.

However, this song "The Motherland Will Not Forget" brings everyone a different kind of deep emotion at this moment.

Some people sang with tears in their eyes, and some sang with tears in their eyes.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is their burning passion and desire to join the army and serve their country.

......

Two hours later, the team began to slow down.

Looking at the interception checkpoints set up on the road ahead, the recruits talked a lot.

"what happened?"

"I do not know?"

"You didn't have a design card when you came here?"

"Idiot, we didn't take this road when we came here!"

Qin Feng did not participate because he noticed.

The armed police in front were all armed and on high alert, checking every passing car.

This made him frown, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy...
