The squad is the most basic unit in the military establishment, and it is the place where soldiers live, train and fight together day and night. Comrades in the same class during their service often have the closest relationship and the deepest feelings.
Liu joined the army from Jinan in March 1965, and was in my class. At that time, the army often carried out the education of "remembering the hardships of the old society and remembering the sweetness of the new society". The Liu family was very bitter in the old society, so whenever a recruit joined the army, the leader would arrange for him to make a typical speech at the "recalling the bitter experience and thinking sweet" meeting of the company, battalion and regiment. After hearing this, we are often moved to tears and deeply educated. Perhaps related to his family background, Liu has deep feelings for the new society and the * * * production party, and has performed well in all aspects since he joined the army.
I joined the army two years before Liu. Shortly after Liu joined the army, our monitor was promoted to platoon leader, and I became a monitor, and we became a pair of "one gang and one pair of reds" (pairing up to help each other learn from each other and strive to be "five good soldiers"). At that time, we were both rated as "five good soldiers" and achieved "a pair of reds".
Liu Yu/kloc-0 joined the party in February, 1966, and his party membership expired in February, 1969. Due to physical reasons, he retired and returned to work in Jinan. After arriving in the local area, he continued to carry forward the fine traditions of the army, studied hard, worked actively and conscientiously, and achieved fruitful results. Before retiring, I worked in the research office of Jinan Municipal Committee for a long time. Over the years, we have kept in touch, and the name "old monitor" makes me feel kind and cordial.
In fact, I am used to it, and I like to call my comrades who used to be my monitor "old monitor" as long as they have contact now.
My first monitor was Zhou Jiyuan. 1On August 22nd, 963, when Zhou Jiyuan took us to Qufu as a recruit of No.1 Middle School in Junan County, he was already the telephone monitor of No.2 Battalion of an artillery regiment in jinan military area command. After three months of training, the recruits took me to his camp as a scout, and I began to formally serve. In the recruit class, from backpacking, housekeeping, queuing, military discipline ... bombing and shooting with light weapons. A lot of common sense and basic military knowledge of military life were taught to me by monitor Zhou Jiyuan.
Soon after taking us into the army, Zhou Jiyuan was promoted to platoon leader. Later, he was promoted to the administrator, instructor and management section chief of the regiment headquarters. I also worked step by step from a soldier to the head of the Youth League branch. It can be said that Comrade Zhou Jiyuan and I have always been comrades-in-arms side by side. He has taken more photos and helped me. We have a deep friendship.
Later, Zhou Jiyuan changed jobs and stayed in Zoucheng, where the troops were stationed. I also changed my job and came to Linyi, and we kept in touch. After retirement, he visited his comrades in Linyi many times. On May 25th, 20 15, the old monitor, Mrs. Zhou Jiyuan, visited us again, and the comrades in Junan County gave a banquet to welcome us. During the dinner, comrade-in-arms Qiao Shichang proposed: "Let's raise our glasses together and sincerely thank the old monitor for taking us to the revolutionary road. I wish the old class leader and his wife good health and happiness for the whole family! " After hearing Qiao Shichang's toast, we all applauded and smiled knowingly. In fact, this is our heartfelt gratitude and sincere blessing to the "old squad leader". Everyone raised their glasses frequently to propose a toast to the "old monitor" couple. The scene is very warm.
There are also two "old squad leaders" who often remind me. 20 14 Mid-Autumn Festival, my wife and I traveled to Jinzhou, Liaoning Province by ourselves. On this day, I received two phone calls, one from Zhao Changqin, a comrade-in-arms in Xinjiang; The other is Chen Shangyin, a comrade-in-arms in Nanjing. The two phone calls said almost the same thing: "I wish you a happy holiday and a happy family!" " "At that time, my wife and I were very excited. It's like a military song: "Comrades are like brothers, and the revolution connects us!" "
Zhao Changqin is my second monitor after Zhou Jiyuan. Less than half a year after I joined the army, he was transferred to work in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Although we haven't been together for a long time, he cares about me. I still remember one night before he left the army, he talked to me specially and told me about his five-year service experience (in fact, he taught me the experience). At that time, he pointed out my advantages and reminded me of what I should pay attention to in the future. This is undoubtedly very valuable for a young man who has just left school and entered the military camp, so that I can't forget my "old monitor" 2065438+In May 2004, when Zhao Changqin returned to his hometown in Heze, Shandong Province to visit relatives, he also visited our classmates around Linyi. We all call him "the old monitor".
After Zhao Changqin, Comrade Chen Shangyin who joined the army two years earlier than me became my monitor again. The early 1960s was a period of economic poverty in China. At that time, the whole country implemented the "ration supply system"-college students only supplied 25 kilograms of food every month; The army is 45 kilograms per person per month. "You can eat enough in the army", which is one reason why some of our classmates choose to be soldiers instead of going to college. At that time, he was young and strong, and the military training, construction and production of the troops were very exhausting. Although each person has half a catty of grain per meal, many of our soldiers who joined the army in the countryside often feel that they are not full.
One Sunday, after I had lunch in the company, I bought a bowl of mutton soup and two steamed buns in a Huimin restaurant where the troops were stationed. When eating, Xu Dalong, the squad leader of the cookhouse squad who came out for a walk in our company, saw it. I was a little nervous at first-I was afraid that he would laugh at me and even criticize me. But after I explained the situation to him, I aroused his sympathy. He suggested to the leaders of our company many times that I should be transferred to their cooking class. Xu Dalong suggested that I can "eat a full stomach" (cooks don't eat quantitatively) and give their class a "great increase in labor", but even the head of the class refused. Because I am a high school student, the leader is unwilling to let me change careers.
Monitor Chen Shangyin learned that I didn't have enough to eat. From now on, I will break a piece of steamed bread from his bowl or give me some rice for almost every meal. Although he said, "I eat less than you …", I knew in my heart that it was saved from him. Looking back on my military career for more than 20 years, there are many things worth remembering. The deep friendship of the old monitor Chen Shangyin will never be forgotten.
Comrade Chen Shangyin is decent and straightforward. He not only cares about me in my daily life and work, but also gives me a lot of help in my thoughts. Later, he was promoted to platoon leader and transferred from 65438 to 0969 to work in Nanjing.
Last year165438+18 October, my wife and I went to Nanjing to visit Chen Shangyin and another comrade-in-arms and took a group photo. Now, whether writing letters, making phone calls or exchanging visits, I call him "old monitor", because I deeply realize that there is nothing more intimate than "old monitor" in the army!
