The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

It's less than half past seven.

The station of the Provincial Military Region Art Troupe was in a panic because of the urgent assembly whistle.

On the third day of the New Year, we are still on vacation. After seven o'clock, it is still time for leisure and entertainment. Those who read, chat, write letters to home, and carry buckets of hot water to soak their feet.

Even the people in the cooking class were chopping stuffings and preparing dumplings for the next morning.

Dumplings in the first grade of junior high school and glutinous rice balls in the second grade of junior high school. Due to the differences between the north and the south, young people from all over the country have different appetites. As the political commissar of the Youth League, considering this, I took special care of these young people. Unexpectedly, I took care of them again and again, but it turned out that Spoil him (her) bad temper.

Aprons from the cooking class were flying everywhere, and the cook who was preparing the noodles didn't even have time to wash his hands. He was so hasty that he wiped them cleanly with his apron or clothes, and then hurried to the dormitory to pack his luggage.

Other dormitories are also in the same situation. If the bucket is overturned, there is no time to hold it, and the water is allowed to soak along the floor. The backpack with three horizontal and two bundles is the most time-consuming, as well as the items in the cabinet, such as the left backpack and the right water bottle. Compared to combat troops, their weapons are the musical instruments in their hands.

Although they occasionally have to practice target, when gathering, the first priority is to play their own instruments, the trumpeter's trumpet, the drum team's waist drum, and even the allegro player's allegro, which are used for encouragement during the march. Inspire the morale of all officers and soldiers.

In the army, the whistle is an order. There is no doubt. When you hear the whistle for emergency assembly, all members must be fully equipped within three minutes and line up to assemble downstairs.

Even if they are art soldiers, art soldiers are also soldiers.

"No, it's the Chinese New Year. We need to gather urgently. Why do you still need to train at this time?"

While holding their backpacks, the little warriors kept their mouths busy. Practice makes perfect, and the ropes of the backpacks became perfect in their hands. They still had time to grin and mumble.

"Shut up, it doesn't matter whether you're in a war or not. I said it's right to prepare early. We'll definitely catch him while we're slacking off~!"

Why veterans are called veterans is because they have a sense of smell that recruits don't have, a very keen sense of smell. After years of training, they all have a certain resonance with the assembly sentry. They have a premonition of when such a call will come. .

During leisure time, especially during long vacations that last for several days, the pillow is placed with a backpack strap, and the water bottle bag is taken out and hung at the foot of the bed, where you can reach it with your hands. This has become a way for many people to shorten their time when responding to emergency gatherings. A little trick.

In the women's dormitory, there was a lot of panic. The gay men were stronger after all. If the backpack straps were loosened and pulled, the air in the quilt could be compressed out. Some of the lesbians had to go up to their knees. Relying on the weight of the body to press down, the quilt can barely obey.

After all, the strength is still not enough, some of them are slapping, maybe the backpack strap is a little crooked, the quilt makes a "beep", and it bulges out of the backpack strap, and I watch helplessly as it unfolds again. At the critical moment, it doesn't matter at all. disobedient.

"Slimy~!"

"Why are you crying? If you cry, you can beat me. Just use your strength. If you can't, throw it on the ground and step on it with your feet~"

The female soldiers who are a little more knowledgeable have almost finished packing their backpacks, but there are still some new recruits, and some veterans who have just returned from running outside are still in a hurry, especially those who go to the cupboard first to grab a water bottle and a shoulder bag. , "Ouch", they were all knocked on the head by the open cabinet door.

There is no time to rub it now. With tears in my eyes, I put my satchel and water bottle on my back, tightened my armed belt, picked up my food, and rushed out in a daze. The short time on the road was the only time I could use it. Came to hastily tidy up my appearance.

(Writing this, the author has a honeyed smile on his face. He still remembers that his comrade in the same class in the new military camp, Wang Jiong, nicknamed Brother Zhu, slept on a second-floor bunk bed and could not always pack his backpack, especially in winter. After wearing a cotton coat, facing the gathering post that appears at any time at night, I can only choose to pack it in advance. When I sleep, I hold my backpack in my arms to keep warm. The author sleeps on one floor and always covers him with a coat. After many years, I still Remember the look in his eyes.)

After instructing his subordinates to deliver amplifier equipment to the auditorium of Jinjiang Hotel, Political Commissar Ning stood in the playground of the art troupe with a cold face, wearing a coat and looking at the watch on his wrist meticulously.

Seeing the hustle and bustle in every room, Political Commissar Ning did not laugh. He moved his jaw slightly and looked outside the door with a very deep look.

As soon as the three minutes were up, they started to line up downstairs and put on their armed belts. The little soldiers carrying backpacks consciously looked to the right one by one, took a break, and then, with their lips pursed, looked at those who had not come down yet. , waiting to see the joke.

The art troupe is not only specially recruited, some of the logistics personnel, as well as other logistics personnel, are transferred from the fraternal units, such as the automobile corps and the cooking class, etc., all of which have received complete training from the recruit company.

That is completely different from the training for new recruits in the cultural troupe. Although they are both target practice and three-kilometer and five-kilometer assessments, it is obvious that front-line training is much more realistic. Whether it is the speed of gathering or the installation of backpacks and carrying equipment, it is all rigorous.

Looking at the native art soldiers of the art troupe, they barely managed to jump down the stairs at this time. When one of them was still landing, one of the yellow rubber shoes on the back of the backpack fell off without even realizing it. Behind him was someone who was anxious to go downstairs. , stepped on it, and the buttocks slipped. Those who had finished the procession could not hold down the corners of their mouths at all.

The female soldiers' dormitory was even sparser downstairs. Some of them had just washed their hair and hadn't had time to dry it yet. Steam was rising from their foreheads. After entering the queue, they hurriedly adjusted their armed belts and secretly replaced the water bottles and satchels that were on their backs. Location.

"Sparse, whining, whistling, how long has the whistle been sounding?"

"Three horizontally and two vertically, not two horizontally and three vertically, go back and fight again~!"

"Pull up your trouser legs. Where are your socks? If you put a sock on one foot, you don't have to wear one on the other?"

The dance captain is on a business trip with the team, and now the captain of the artistic singing team is in charge.

The group leader was standing on the other side of the playground, looking straight at this side with a tiger face, and his aura was like a tiger descending a mountain.

The usually amiable person had never seen such a scene. Although he didn't know why the assembly whistle was blown, he must have guessed that something went wrong. Captain Song reprimanded the female soldiers present responsibly.

It's so terrible. It's time to remember it for a long time.

"Style, style, this is how you serve as soldiers. When you go back, people say you can't even pack a backpack. Are you embarrassed?"

From the first row to the last row, they walked around the queue. This was not the time to talk about any feelings. Several female soldiers were singled out. They turned around slowly step by step and started to collapse. It's a golden bean. If you are told such a thing, not to mention your face, you will lose all your dignity.

"This is Chinese New Year~!"

Someone in the team murmured quietly.

"Who said it, stand up and celebrate the New Year? Because it is the Chinese New Year, our art troupe's mission may come back at any time. When the frontline troops are resting, it is when we are busy, so keep your temper~!"

It was not until ten minutes later that all the issues were dealt with, the male and female soldiers were assembled, and the teams on both sides became completely quiet.

"Count, one, two, three..."

"Take a break, shua~shua~!"

"Stand at attention, boom~boom~!"

After the formation, the leaders of the male and female soldiers stood in front of the queue, trotted to the playground, raised their arms and saluted Political Commissar Ning and reported.

"Reporting to the head of the group, the art team, 87 people were supposed to be present, 42 actually showed up, 36 were on business, 7 were on vacation, 2...!" "Who is missing?"

After political commissar Ning returned the courtesy, he asked indifferently.

"Zhang Yang and Ge Feiyan are out and have not returned to the team yet~!"

"Report to the team leader that 110 people should be present at the team headquarters, but 94 actually showed up, including 10 people on duty and 6 people on guard duty, all present~!"

The scene was very quiet for a while. Only the sound of the swimming pool water lapping against the wall could be heard. Political Commissar Ning's face under the light was a little blurry for a while.

"Teams gather at the playground~!"

With the order, everyone in the team, whether it was the male team, the female team, or the team at the team headquarters, all pricked up their ears. When they heard that they were not disbanding, but gathering on the playground, they all had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Everyone's head is looking straight ahead, but they are communicating with each other through their eyes.

"What's the situation? If it's an emergency gathering training, shouldn't it be disbanded? I've already been criticized~!"

"Is it possible that you are serious?"

There was no time left for them to think. As the captains of each unit returned the greetings, they ran back to the front of the team, and deafening shouts resounded throughout the teams of the art troupe.

"Turn right, run~walk~!"

"Turn left, run~walk~!"

"Swish~sw~sw~, dong~dong~dong~!"

The sound of uniform running was so heavy that it was deafening, the kettle slapped against the clothes, the lunch boxes in the satchels clicked, and the solemn atmosphere invisibly dispersed all the joy of the New Year.

Small squares merge to become large squares, and large squares merge to form a long dragon.

As soon as the number of people passed a hundred, they were full of joy. As the last footsteps landed, the entire small playground of the art troupe was basically occupied.

A dance team, a singing team, a drama team, a music team, creative directors, art training, and Yangshasa. In addition to these, there are also some makeup artists, costume and prop masters, and equipment maintenance personnel to form such a complete art troupe.

These days are during the Spring Festival. No matter day or night, they have been touring nearby troops to perform, bringing festive laughter and greetings from the military region to the soldiers who are waiting for the day. To be honest, it is very hard.

However, the training during normal class time is also for the arrival of this day. If we cannot bring performances to the officers and soldiers, there is no need for the art troupe to exist.

"The singing and dancing team has assembled~!"

"The drama team has assembled~!"

"The logistics team has been assembled~!"

"The team is assembled~!"

One by one, the officers saluted, and after returning the salute, they stood directly in front of the vanguard. The red flags were blaring, and everyone's eyes were focused on Political Commissar Ning on the playground.

Maybe you are confused, or you are aggrieved, or you are still unhappy, you don’t understand, it’s this point, everyone has worked hard for a day, and you should rest early and recharge your batteries, you have to go through such a hard time.

Political Commissar Ning's face now had a trace of the vicissitudes of life in the play. His cheeks, which were still slightly young, coupled with this trace of vicissitudes of life, gave him a sense of weathered experience.

He looked at the soldiers in front of him calmly. These were his soldiers. He was very satisfied with their hard work during the day, but a series of things at night made him feel that he had overlooked something.

"Tomorrow's dumplings and glutinous rice balls will be cancelled. We will eat whatever the soldiers above eat. The New Year has passed tonight~!"

Political Commissar Ning, who stood with his hands tied, pointed to the ground, then to the west, and spoke word for word.

"Tonight, the superiors issued a confidential mission. I shouldn't tell you now, but I think it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance~!"

"After more than two months of visits to ten countries in Africa, the director landed at Chengcheng Airport yesterday to rest. He was afraid of us being in trouble. He knew that we had worked hard during the Spring Festival, so he sympathized with us and told us not to bother, rest well, and send the soldiers good things. Holiday greetings~!”

"Lightings, sound equipment, stage layout, how many people were required, less than ten, and the roll call could not delay the participation of those who will participate in the show tomorrow. They also spent the New Year on a plane, traveling back and forth to more than ten places in more than two months. I kept running around without a day off, and the time was so tight that I couldn’t even land to celebrate the Spring Festival, but I was still thinking about us~!”

When these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Although the whole playground could still only hear the sound of wind, everyone's hearts seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer. Watching Political Commissar Ning pinch the bridge of his nose in disappointment after finishing speaking, it seemed as if He looked extremely disappointed, and his heart sank to the bottom again.

With this disappointed look, one can tell at a glance that someone must have slipped up at this critical moment, and the problem is serious, otherwise, he would not be so heartbroken at this time.

"Ten people, two of them are clamoring to retire this year. The organization has spent so much energy training you. If you want to quit, it doesn't matter. Let me do the work well so that everyone can get together and relax. But halfway through the work, they ran away. This kind of thing, including the two people who went out tonight and did not return home, will all be recorded as major demerits by me, without any mercy~!"

"TND, I don't believe it. I can't bring back your style. Retired and retired. Whoever yells the louder, I'm going to tease you here today. No one can leave. Not only will I not let you go, I will also have to send you to Go to the front line~!”

Grabbing the hat on his head, Political Commissar Ning shook his fist angrily. With bloodshot eyes, he stared at everyone as he walked from the front to the back of the team.

"Think clearly before you do anything. Are you worthy of the military uniform you are wearing? Did I invite you? You all cried for your parents and begged to come in. You are afraid of performances and training. What kind of soldier are you? The door is locked. A military dog ​​is more effective than a "deserter" at a critical moment~!"

Although no names were called, some people in the team were obviously struck by lightning, and some were obviously lost, but more people were looking at the group of people with mocking eyes. Someone will cure you~!

Come on, I finally understand the reason for the emergency gathering tonight. Those two people who were clamoring to return the goods did not know who they were serving tonight. They stretched themselves on the iron plate. It might have been the greatest honor in life, but in the end, it was missed. Said that he also poked a big fool.

"Everyone is here, take a break, stand at attention, and take a military stance~ Get ready!"

When one person is sick, the whole family takes medicine. Discipline and obedience are emphasized and emphasized from the first day they join the army. The combat effectiveness of the army has always been based on cohesion.

This night may be the most important lesson in their lives. (End of chapter)
