Even if Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao didn't say it, Li Shuai meant that he led a soldier to stay and monitor the fire in the valley in real time. The valley fire in the valley, which was temporarily named the second fire, is completely different from the first fire. It is basically certain that the main combustion substance in the second fire is underground combustible gas, and the fire here cannot be extinguished by the fire brigade alone. Professional personnel in this area need to participate.

Li Shuai asked He Biting to stay, and the others were led by Lin Xia to escort Liu Ruyan and his wife and their children back to the village. Why did He Biting stay instead of Chen Xiao or Zhang Xiaoran? The reason is very simple. He Biting was closest to Li Shuai at that time, so he ordered it.

Chen Xiao was very disappointed, Zhang Xiaoran was a little unhappy, and He Biting was secretly excited and calm.

It’s not that these three female soldiers have any personal thoughts about Li Shuai, and there are no miscellaneous things at all. But this is a very common situation in the army. What are the standards for good soldiers? There are different answers from different angles, but the most basic elements are unchanged.

Specifically in daily work and training, when the company commander receives a task, he first thinks of which squad leader to be assigned to, which squad leader is a good squad leader in the mind of the company commander. Similarly, when the squad leader receives the task, he first thinks of which soldier to be assigned to, and that soldier is the good soldier in his mind.

The squad leader often arranges you to do this and that, and he respects you. His comrades will only envy you. On the contrary, if the squad leader doesn’t pay much attention to you and is polite to you, then it means that your soldier is not qualified. The army is a place where you are proud of enduring hardships. I work more than you and I am more tired than you, which means that I am more solid. The more work my superiors give me means that the more attention I attach to me. This collective has always had such a tradition.

For the three female soldiers, being able to be left as observation posts by the instructor, especially when the large army is withdrawn, the significance of observation posts is further highlighted. We must select capable soldiers to stay for this task. Of course, the selected soldiers are qualified to raise their chins - they are all waist discs, and you are more prominent.

Li Shuai looked around and saw a tree as thick as a collapsed thigh on the side of the mountain road. It did not fall completely to the ground, and it had grip at the roots, and it was like a fishing rod. Li Shuai observed it specifically and said, "Go and sit there, you can just see the fire situation in front."

"Yes." He Biting walked over and sat on the trunk. The hanging trunk that was fifty or sixty centimeters tall could be used as a chair.

Li Shuai became addicted to smoking. When he came over, he took out a cigarette and lit it. He Biting was so angry that his eyes were so bright that he could not be smoked. The army banned smoking and alcohol. There was no way to stop smoking, but alcohol was definitely not allowed. If you were caught smoking, you would be scolded at most. If you were caught drinking, you would be detained for confinement. If you were severely punished and put into files.

When Li Shuai was a new recruit, there were three high-voltage lines in the military region where the army was located. Once touched, it must be dealt with seriously. Leakage, drinking, bay window, and three high-voltage lines in the military region where Li Shuai was located. At that time, Li Shuai was still a new recruit. Not to mention the three high-voltage lines, even smoking a cigarette had to be approved by the squad leader, so the feeling was not very profound.

Later, after he arrived at the 404th Special Forces, he had a deep understanding of these serious violations of discipline. The 404th Special Forces are high-pressure units. The officers and soldiers usually live in high-pressure environments, and dancing with the god of death is common. If you don’t talk about smoking, you will turn a blind eye when drinking a small wine occasionally, as long as it doesn’t affect your work. Li Shuai learned to be useless at that time, oh no, you learned to smoke and drink.

Li Shuai looked up at the raging fire in the valley hundreds of meters away. Under the light, his face changed unpredictable.

"Instructor." He Biting spoke.

"Hmm?" Li Shuai looked back at the cigarette with the cigarette in his mouth.

He Biting said, "Those two little kids are brave enough."

Li Shuai took a sip of cigarette, walked over and sat down beside He Biting, and said with a smile, "The children in the mountains are all bold. Don't look at these mountains as daunting to us. They are already used to running on the mountains every day. The two children's experiences tonight may not be better if they were adults."

"Yes, with such dense forests and bushes, the two children can walk smoothly without a road. To be honest, if I were not able to do it, at least I would be afraid, and they were not afraid at all." He Biting said.

Li Shuai smiled and said, "Who knows whether they are afraid or not, they should be afraid, but they firmly believe that they can eat chicken legs after going down the mountain. They have such an obsession in their hearts to overcome their fear."

He smiled and said, "Instructor, you want to say that as long as you have faith in your heart, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

"That's what it means." Li Shuai nodded and said.

He Biting took off her camouflage hat, stroked her legs in her ears, and said with emotion, "I often think of my grandfather. The longer I spend in the army, the more I think of him, the more I think of him. I think of the words he said, the people and things he said."

After spitting out a puff of cigarette, Li Shuai asked with a smile, "What do you have any experience?"

Pointing to the raging meeting on the mountain, He Biting said, "Today's perception is that people can do very little, just like the big fire in front of us. Although we all want to put out it very much, we have no choice. In Grandpa's era, in the era of war, many times they did everything they thought was impossible, defeating the enemy and winning. Compared with Grandpa's generation, we so-called revolutionary soldiers in the new era are actually far behind. Instructor, don't mind."

Li Shuai was very surprised. He Biting's ideas were profound, which was deeper than the ideas of the cadres and backbones who had been trained by our party and army for many years. The political and ideological awareness level of these revolutionary descendants is really good.

"What do I mind? You are right. We are far behind our predecessors, so our generation must do more work in the non-war period and contribute a lot to building a strong people's army." Li Shuai said.

He Biting lowered her head and muttered: "Sales a strong contribution. This sentence sounds very familiar."

"Is that true?" Li Shuai said with a smile.

He Biting thought about it seriously for a while and suddenly said, "I remembered it. I have read a series of reports, which are from a certain Air Force unit. This sentence has appeared several times in the report, and has contributed a lot to the construction of a strong People's Air Force. You have changed to building a strong People's Army."

"Hahaha, that's right, I also read this sentence from that series of reports. It's really good, it's sharp, with momentum and determination. I still remember that series of reports was a nightmare for the West Hawks and Falcons, known as the nightmare of the entire army's aviation troops. The Air Force, Navy Aviation, and all fixed-wing fighter units must be trained on their side, and if they want to make a name for themselves, they must defeat them. The West Hawks and Falcons are really amazing." Li Shuai introduced it briefly.

He didn't tell the truth. Not only did he read the reports, but he also had a deep understanding of the Western Eagle and Falcon Brigade of the Air Force. When he was in the 404th Special Forces, for a long time, Li Shuai and others strengthened the military reconnaissance unit directly under the headquarters' intelligence department, commonly known as the Tiger Team. During that time, they often dealt with the Western Eagle and Falcon Brigade and gradually became familiar with each other. Li Shuai even met the real person of the legendary pilot Li Zhan.

He Biting said, "When I graduated from high school, I participated in the Air Force recruitment, but because I was not in good health, I didn't go there. Later, after going to college, I hesitated several times and wanted to join the army, but later I didn't succeed for various reasons. It is actually unlikely that I will join the army after graduation, and there is a lot of resistance."

"Parents object?" Li Shuai asked.

He Biting nodded slowly, "Yes. My grandfather always wanted my father to join the army, but he was not determined to do so. He took the college entrance examination to the University of Political Science and Law and then went into politics. My mother was his classmate and later became a university teacher. I wanted to fulfill my grandfather's wish, and after graduating from college, I signed up for my family."

Li Shuai nodded slowly, "It's understandable. My father is both elementary school teachers, and I am an only child. They actually opposed me as a soldier. But later I gradually understood. Joining the army to defend the country and not being able to be filial to my parents is the biggest regret in my life."

"Sacrificing the small family for everyone, a seven-foot-piece body is hard to give the country but not to give it, and loyalty and filial piety are hard to achieve both. My parents have only one child, which is even worse than you." He Biting smiled helplessly and asked Li Shuai, "Instructor, do you think anyone really have such faith?"

Li Shuai pointed at her and said, "You are one of them."

"But I know I don't believe it in my heart. I contributed heavily to building a strong People's Army. When ideals and reality collide, what will people choose? I am actually quite pessimistic." He Biting sighed a lot, "When we went to school, there were many people in our school who joined the army. Most of them joined the army in order to get the status of a veteran, because now the country is a veteran who is a veteran, especially a college student soldier."

"Yes, this is an unavoidable reality. In the non-war era, the stage of rapid social development, and the period when material life is becoming more and more abundant, dedication is a luxury. Therefore, people with noble beliefs and those who join the army for their faith are rare."

Smiling slightly, Li Shuai continued, "Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. The army not only teaches people how to do things, but also teaches people how to do things, but also teaches people how to have ideals and beliefs. The motivation for joining the army is not the most important thing, the important thing is to join the army."

He Biting lowered her head and thought, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe what you are right, instructor."

"Your grandfather is a pure Communist Party member and an excellent soldier. Their generation is really different. You inherited a good traditional spirit from your grandfather and formed your own ideological system during your growth process. In fact, there are very few people like you who have the same growth environment. We Communists pay attention to dialectics and rarely have absolute conclusions when looking at things. To address the issues you mentioned, from another perspective, they will always carry guns and charge, so are other things important?" Li Shuai said.

This time, He Biting pondered for a long time and looked up at the burning fire.

Whenever the recruitment season comes, many related banners will be hung on campus. One of the most impressive things is that it makes youth burn in the military camp!
