The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

For every new recruit, the moment of being awarded a rank is the time in the past three months when they are most relaxed but also the most complicated.

When they step into the auditorium today, it means that their career in the recruit camp has come to an end.

No need to face the need to reserve physical energy every day, nor the boring political and cultural classes.

You no longer have to grit your teeth and insist on running three or five kilometers every few days.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the squad leader and company commander blowing the emergency assembly whistle as a prank at night when you are sleeping soundly.

During these short three months, everyone who has experienced it personally has deep feelings. When they are in it, they know what kind of effort is needed to shoulder the responsibility on their shoulders.

Whether they are from the city or the countryside, strangers from all corners of the world gather together, work together, and after going through hardships and trials, they will be tempered into steel. Only then will the collective accept them.

Those who have suffered at home are better off, but those who have not suffered only now realize that the military rank of one star on their shoulders and on their collars is hard-earned.

Why are soldiers respected? This is something the veteran squad leaders have earned bit by bit with their sweat and blood.

Just like the red flag standing at the entrance of the auditorium when the flag bearer and the guards marched into the auditorium.

Today, under its witness, these new recruits, this group of young people with ideals and beliefs, will truly complete the transformation from local youths to soldiers.

"I am very happy to meet you here, all the new recruits of the year 64. I am the head of the cultural troupe and also your future head. My name is Xiong Yuelin. I am honored to be your head. I have seen your assessment results and I am very satisfied~!"

After the flag bearers arrived at the right side of the main entrance of the auditorium, the top two leaders of the art troupe came out from behind the curtain.

Both of them were holding microphones. The one who was speaking was a middle-aged man, and the other person next to him was Li Feng's "old acquaintance", Political Commissar Ning.

Of course, in such occasions, the military commander would definitely speak first, even if the art troupe did not participate in any combat operations, but this was the case in the army.

All the new recruits below held their breath and looked at the two leaders on the stage. Yes, in the art troupe, these two could be considered the leaders of the new recruits.

"Some people say that as long as the art troupe performs well, brings outstanding performances to the soldiers and wins grand applause, it is a good art soldier~!"

"I once agreed with this statement. As an art troupe or an art soldier, we sing and dance, beat gongs and drums, and use art performances to convey the revolutionary spirit, boost the morale of soldiers in brother units, and maintain high combat effectiveness. This is our responsibility~!"

"But after what happened in the regiment last year, or this year, I feel that this is not enough. Art soldiers are also soldiers. To be a soldier, you have to practice, not only art, but also physical fitness and tactics. If you don't endure hardships, some people don't know what a real soldier is~!"

Unlike the gentle tone he showed when he introduced himself just now, the commander was now like a sword drawn from its sheath, with its sharp edge fully exposed. When he looked at the new recruits in the audience, there was only deep seriousness in his eyes.

"In the past, the training of new recruits in the art troupe was mostly just a show. Sometimes, when the performance task was heavy, there were many who were arranged to go on stage directly without any training~!"

"But this year, you must complete all the training procedures without missing a single one, and the assessment will be based on the standards of our sister units. So, why did I praise you at the beginning? I thought some of you would not be able to persist, but I didn't expect that everyone passed~!"

The unsheathed sword was then gently retracted into the sheath. What exactly happened was that the previous generation chopped down the trees, and the next generation suffered. The new recruits in the audience were all confused. Only the veterans or officers present knew what happened and what changed that night.

"In fact, these assessment standards are perfectly normal in the combat sequence. I am honored for you because the art troupe has not taken military training so seriously for a long time. But you must not be proud and complacent~!"

"Art soldiers are also soldiers. Art performances are our mission, but military ranks are on our shoulders. No one can guarantee whether we will be assigned to the combat sequence in the next second. Maintaining good physical fitness can allow you to walk a wider path and go further in the army~!"

Captain Xiong never said what happened exactly. This is not a glorious thing. As the military commander, he has responsibilities.

This year, we have focused on military affairs and work style in the hope that the new batch of artists and artists in the art troupe will know what the army is really like and discipline themselves.

The veterans are used to being sparsely populated, but the new recruits are different. When they enter the large collective of the army, they are still a blank sheet of paper, and anything can be drawn on them. It is not too late to start with this batch.

The casual and undisciplined style will eventually change with the arrival of new batches of recruits.

And all this is because of that man~!

After Captain Xiong finished speaking, his aura instantly subsided and he returned to the gloomy look he had when he first came on stage.

Political Commissar Ning, who was standing next to him, raised the microphone to his lips after the military chief finished speaking.

"My last name is Ning, and I'm the political commissar of the cultural troupe. From now on, you can call me Political Commissar Ning."

"What Captain Xiong said just now is right. We must improve our military quality, but we must not slack off politically and spiritually. The idea of ​​complacency starts from ourselves and gradually retreats step by step~!" "I am very happy that all the new recruits of this session have completed the military training. Our art troupe welcomes everyone and hopes that you can continue and maintain the spirit during the new recruit training~!"

"Today is the day for everyone to swear an oath to the August 1st Army Flag. This day is very special because, from today on, you are officially a member of the Art Troupe~!"

Political Commissar Ning raised his hand and pointed to the door, waiting to be greeted by the flag of the new recruits. His tone was full of emotion, as if he wanted all the new recruits present to remember this day firmly.

"Art soldiers are also soldiers. Although we don't have to rush towards the enemy with guns, our brother units may do so at any time. Whether it is dance, song, or other forms of performance, we must do our best and treat the stage as our battlefield~!"

"Young people are always full of vigor and vitality. You should dedicate your youth to the army without regrets, because from this day on, you are soldiers and art soldiers. As long as you don't take off your military uniform, you are a soldier for one day~!"

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Everything is based on completing the tasks assigned by the superiors. If you slack off for a moment, think about where you are today~!"

Compared to Captain Xiong's slap in the face and give a date as a reward, Political Commissar Ning's approach is simpler. Once you enter this door, there will be no regrets until the day you leave.

"Now, I declare that the 64th Autumn Recruitment and Oath Ceremony officially begins~!"

"According to the current regulations for conscripts~!"

"Award to Comrades Xiang Bang, Ding Huai, and Le Yunhua the rank of private soldier~!"

"Award Comrades Li Nan and Ke Minmin... the rank of private~!"

“Grant…!”

After wearing military uniforms for three months, these new recruits had nothing until today. Finally, they were filled with excitement when they saw their military ranks being presented to them on a red gift tray.

Although there is only one star, it represents that the identity transformation has finally been completed. The collective has finally accepted these comrades who came from other places, and they don’t have to worry about being sent back to their hometowns.

Compared with the red collar badges that will be replaced next year, the awarding of military ranks at this time can be said to be more complicated. The ranks even need the help of two people to be installed properly. Some people's hands are shaking at this time.

When the military rank was actually awarded, he (she) became a glorious member of the Chengdu Military Region Art Troupe.

"Play the military song and welcome the military flag~!"

The deafening sound made all the soldiers subconsciously hold their heads high and raise their right hands quickly. The military appearance and discipline were perfectly reflected at this moment. With firm eyes, they welcomed this sacred moment together.

"I am a citizen of ****. I solemnly swear to join the People's Liberation Army and take on the glorious duties of a revolutionary soldier!"

"First, under the leadership of ***, I became a soldier who was loyal, brave and resourceful, strictly observed discipline, followed regulations and obeyed orders, and was willing to sacrifice everything to defend the motherland."

"Second, strive to learn modern military science, improve political and cultural levels, master weapons, be ready for battle at all times, overcome all difficulties, and resolutely destroy the enemy."

“3. Support the people’s government, love the people, cherish weapons and state property, strictly observe state and military secrets, and always be loyal to the motherland and the people.”

"Fourth, if I break my oath, I will be severely punished by national law and military discipline!"

The deafening sound of the oath was heard from far away in the auditorium. With each oath, the recruit camp became empty again and again.

The recruit camp ended and they left. What was left in the auditorium was not only the oath, but also the friendships accumulated by these recruits over the past three months.

After taking the oath, the new recruits will be divided into companies in the auditorium. The time together will not be long, but these three months will be unforgettable.

Hugs, tears, waving goodbye, only when we part do we realize how precious friendship is.

The art troupe is not big, but not small either. If you are lucky, you may have a chance to meet each other. If you are unlucky and go somewhere else, you may never meet each other again.

Li Nan didn't have so many concerns. She and Ke Minmin both studied dance, so the decision had basically been made and everyone in the class knew about it.

Sure enough, Liu Feng came, and all of Li Feng’s acquaintances came.

"Welcome to join the dance team~!" (End of this chapter)
