Chapter 1 Thunderstorm (I)

In the auditorium of the division headquarters, like all other officers present, Thunder Rain had a dark face, frowning, straightening his waist, and listening to the words of the division commander sitting on the rostrum of the auditorium. The men and women who were rarely seen in the division were sitting on the rostrum. In a huge auditorium, none of the hundreds of officers in the division had a smile on their faces at the moment. The atmosphere in the auditorium seemed heavy and depressing. It was arranged on the left and right walls of the auditorium.

The two loudspeakers on both sides have been used for more than ten years, and the paint has almost fallen off. However, due to proper maintenance, at this moment, the voice of the commander's commander was still clearly transmitted from the two loudspeakers, sweeping everyone in the auditorium at a speed of 340 meters per second, hitting the wall, and bounced back. Lei Yu sat on the side of the wall on the right behind the auditorium. He heard the voice of the commander very clearly, and therefore, his face was particularly dark...

The voice that had just read the notice of the General Staff had a little more unconcealed desolate smell at this time, and the thunderstorm's mouth was a little dry.

"...... The decision to disarmament of 200,000 yuan was approved by the Supreme Military Commission of the State. The General Staff issued a notice the day before yesterday that in addition to the large number of non-partition temporary institutions in the army, our division has several other troops in the ranks of disarmament..."

...

"...I feel the same as everyone at this moment, but as a soldier who obeys orders as his duty, I can only obey this decision unconditionally..."

...

Lei Yu didn't know how he walked out of the venue. When he walked out of the venue, the sun was hanging high outside, and the pine and cypress were exposed in the sunlight. However, in Lei Yu's eyes, the scenery in front of him had turned gray, a kind of winter-like gray. At the end of the meeting, the scene where the division commander saluted everyone with tears in his eyes seemed to be still in front of him. Seeing the old soldier who had been a soldier for more than 40 years suddenly lost his former agility and walked down the rostrum with a heavy weight, Lei Yu's eyes suddenly turned red. Like all other officers, everyone couldn't help but stand up from the seat and saluted a deep military salute to the back of the old soldier.

"Thunderstorm!" A voice behind called him, and Thunderstorm stopped, but the owner of the voice behind him did not stop when he called Thunderstorm. He walked straight past Thunderstorm, leaving only one sentence for Thunderstorm, "Come to my office later!"

Some people walked over to Lei Yu, but no one spoke. Some people lowered their heads, and some people raised their heads. From those faces with their heads raised, what Lei Yu saw was either red eyes or gloomy eyes. Just now, Battalion Commander Zhao walked over to him with his head down. Everyone knew the necessity of disarmament, but when it was really laid on his head, it was one thing to be rationally acceptable, and whether it could be accepted emotionally was another thing, but the army was such a place. No matter what attitude, what thoughts, what emotions you had, when dealing with superior orders, you could only have an attitude, one thoughts, and one emotion, that is execution, and execution without any discount.

Ten minutes later, Lei Yu came to Battalion Commander Zhao's office. Battalion Commander Zhao had just washed his face. I don't know if it was because he used too much force when washing his face. Battalion Commander Zhao's face was red, just like his eyes, making it difficult to tell whether his eyes were rubbed red by him. Seeing that Lei Yu was coming, Battalion Commander Zhao had just buttoned the shirt.

"Sit, thunderstorm!" Captain Zhao pointed to the stool in front of his table, and Lei Yu sat on the stool as he said.

"Battery Commander, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

"You have heard everything the commander said at the meeting today!"

Lei Yu didn’t know what the battalion commander meant. Today’s meeting was like a memorial service. How could he not hear it?

"I remember you have a sister, right?" Hearing Lei Yu's answer, Battalion Commander Zhao continued to ask Lei Yu a question, "It seems that he has also passed the university this year!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, that's great, there's a task to hand over to you!"

As soon as he heard that there was a task, Thunder Rain immediately stood up from his chair.

"Please give instructions from the battalion commander!"

"Don't be excited, sit down and say, sit down and say." Battalion Commander Zhao pressed Lei Yu back to the stool, "In a few days, the freshmen from Southwest Associated University are coming to military training. Our battalion will accept some people. I am going to arrange for you to bring these student soldiers in the area."

This was an arrangement that surprised Lei Yu a little. It was not until a long time later that Lei Yu understood the painstaking efforts of their battalion commander at this time.

"battalion commander……"

Seeing the thunderstorm, Captain Zhao raised his face.

"This is an order!"

"yes!"

Seeing Lei Yu standing up from the stool again, Captain Zhao stretched out his hand and pressed Lei Yu to the stool again.

"Did you not even be the company commander for two days, even the recruits?"

Until Lei Yu came out of their battalion commander, he still did not understand what the two questions the battalion commander asked him to bring a group of baby soldiers who had not yet recovered from their anger. It can be said that Lei Yu was waiting for the new generation of the Southwest Associated University with an extremely depressed and irritable mood.

Two days later, it was also a hot afternoon. The group of freshmen from Southwest Associated University came. When the car that sent the new students to the barracks came, Lei Yu was already standing on the training ground outside the barracks. Lei Yu looked at the group of new students coldly.

Do they think they were here to visit? As soon as the car was bustling, there was no discipline at all. They dispersed on the training ground like sheep pooping. They stood there and sat down without saying goodbye. A few people ran to the vegetable field without saying hello. Where is this? Are they home? Looking at the training ground that suddenly seemed to have turned into a vegetable market, Thunderstorm finally couldn't help but yell.

"Shut up!"

This is the first sentence when thunderstorms greet these college students.

To be honest, the first impression of the thunderstorm is not very good about the group of student soldiers under my command. As the saying goes, there is no need to hit the drums with heavy hammers, but for those drums that don’t hit, you really have to hit the drums with heavy hammers. On the first day of the first day, before the thunderstorm was enough, the thunderstorm caused these thunderstorms to come for two kilometers.

Thunderstorm was meticulously executing the battalion commander's orders. No matter how others did it, they did not care about the thunderstorm. But in the eyes of Thunderstorm, they should be serious about the orders. Since this is a military camp, since they are taking them, they should be strict with them.

The military training of the freshmen began like this.

Seeing the new recruits' internal affairs becoming more and more decent day by day, watching their assembly speed getting faster and faster, and watching their formation becoming more and more neat, although they knew that they had the nickname of "Black Charcoal", Lei Yu didn't care at all. His former instructors even gave him the nickname of "Hunter Dog". What is "Black Charcoal"?

...

"You raise your legs a little higher. Are you walking in a straight or a T-step? This is a military camp. You have to walk in a T-step and wait until you get out of here before you walk. Are you all polio and can't lift your legs? How do I demonstrate to you in the morning? What are the requirements for walking in a straight stroke? I will demonstrate again now. You will show me carefully. If anyone can't walk well, I will slap in my hands!"

Under the scorching sun, the thunderstorm didn't bother to rub the sweat beads rolling down his eyebrows. In front of all the boys, he straightened his body and walked vigorously and vigorously, walking from the boy's rank to the tail. On the entire training ground, he could only hear his footsteps passing by, "bang...bang...bang...bang..."

"The body is straight, the soles of the feet are about 25 cm away from the ground, the angle between the heels and the ground is 90 degrees, the toes should be straightened, and the arms should be swung quickly..." Lei Yu explained the technical tips of walking.

"Okay, you also see how I left. Now listen to my command, everyone will... turn back." The boy's team turned backwards with his command. After these days of training, there is no such situation where you can't tell the difference between the front and back. For Thunderstorms, once it was an accident, twice it was stupid. If it happened three times, it would be simply intolerable.

"Go in step!"

"Ba...b...b...b...b..." The boy began to walk in a straight line. Thunder rain squinted his eyes on the side of the boys' team. Some of the fine sweat flowed into his eyes along the eyebrows, and there was a hot and hot feeling. This time, the boy walked much better than last time, but he was far from meeting the requirements. Perhaps, except for that person... Thunder rain placed his eyes on that person, and the man's every move showed a kind of motivation. "'Swing his arms is like lightning, kicking legs are like archery' This boy has never been a soldier before, right? How could he look at him? When he walked in a straight line, he was like a model soldier. Without three to five years of hard work, it would be difficult to reach this level. When he came to his first day of life, he performed the best.

When everyone turned around, he gave everyone a benchmark and let the team gather together." Lei Yu did not show his doubts on his face. When the boy walked over, Lei Yu stood in front of the boy team with a dark face again, "Is this also called marching? Is this playground a grudge against you? You have to step on it hard. Except that the sound of landing is louder than before, you can tell yourself, what is the difference between this and the one just now?" Speaking of this, Lei Yu's sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces, and most people dare not look directly at his gaze. Then, as usual, Lei Yu roared with his loud voice that he could hear after 100 meters, "Come on, today I can't meet the most basic requirements, so you can practice here!"

...

After training for a day, Lei Yu dragged his tired body back to his dormitory. The dormitory in the past was moved out to give it to the new students. Now Lei Yu lives in older barracks. These barracks were already said to be demolished last year, but demolishing the house also costs money, so it has been left until now. Looking at the black black beam on top of his head, Lei Yu sighed in his heart.

Thunderstorm dormitory is as simple as it is. At his level, there is usually a single dormitory, and all requirements are relatively free, not as rigid as recruits. In Thunderstorm dormitory, from bedding, bed sheets to toothbrushes, mouth jars, and towels for washing are all sent from the army. He has never bought anything else in the dormitory except the desk lamp and the mirror. The subsidy of less than a thousand yuan issued by the army every month was saved up by Thunderstorm and sent to his home.

He took off his military uniform, and the shirt inside was soaked with sweat. He could twist water out of his throat, and his throat was even more like smoke. Just as Lei Yu picked up the kettle and was about to pour some water to drink, Xiao Wang, the communication soldier in the company, ran over.

"Company Commander, your phone number!"

When he heard this, Lei Yu immediately ran out of the house. Lei Yu knew that the only one who could call him was his parents. It was really not easy to make a phone call from his home to the army. Thinking of his parents walking for more than ten miles of mountain roads to the village, just to make a phone call of two yuan per minute to him, Lei Yu wanted to fly to the communication room immediately.

Before answering the phone, Thunderstorm relieved his breathing.

"Hey, Lei Zi?"

As expected by Thunderstorm, the sound on the other side of the phone was not my parents, but the sound sounded a bit like...

"I am your fourth uncle!"

"Uncle Fourth, why are you?" Almost instantly, Lei Yu felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"What happened to your dad?" This sentence was like a flash of lightning struck Lei Yu's forehead.

"What? Uncle Fourth, what's going on?" Hearing such news made Lei Yu lose his inch at once.

"Your dad accidentally rolled down the hillside when he was going up the mountain last night!"

"How is my dad now?" Lei Yu pinched the phone's big hand and pinched the plastic shell of the phone, making a strange noise.

"Your dad is in the hospital now, and his right leg may not work. Your mother is taking care of him in the hospital now!"

"Uncle Fourth, what's going on? Why did my dad break his leg?"

"Oh! I have advised him many times, but you also know your father's temper. Your father rushed to Lijia Village to help a family make a cupboard yesterday. He came back when it was almost dark. After dinner, it was all dark, but he still insisted on going up the mountain to get a condom. I met him when I was overturning the valley."

"Then why did my dad have to go up and down the mountain so late?"

"Oh, it's not just to raise the tuition for your sister. The 6,000 yuan you sent back last time, your family has received it, but your father didn't tell you that your sister's tuition is still more than 3,000 yuan. He told me that it's not easy for you to be a soldier outside, and that's not much subsidy for a month. The 6,000 yuan you saved up to pick up your wife, so he didn't tell you that the money was not enough. During this period, your father went to the outside village to pick up some wooden work during the day, and at night he went to the mountain to get condoms. He took the rabbits and pheasants and other things to the county restaurant. These things can be sold for a good price now, but I didn't expect this time... Alas, it just rained here two days ago, and the mountain roads were very slippery, so..."

Lei Yu listened to the phone silently, his lips were bitten out of blood.
