I remember one time when we unexpectedly found ourselves running along the same route as the Female Soldiers from our Division! At that moment, the atmosphere became unusually lively and chaotic. Originally, we were supposed to maintain a steady pace of one and a half minutes per kilometer, but somehow, everyone started to pick up speed as if driven by an invisible force. In the end, we managed to raise our average speed to an astonishing level within just a few minutes!
However, during this intense race, there were always a few mischievous comrades who couldn't help but tease the adorable Female Soldiers. Their words, though not malicious, infuriated the little Female Soldiers. The outcome was predictable; after we finished training and returned to camp, these troublemakers faced a stern reprimand from the Company Commander and were punished to stand for a full half hour. From that point on, both we and the Female Soldiers from the Division obediently ran without anyone daring to speak out.
During that time, our neighboring unit organized a smaller-scale military exercise while we were tasked with an important support mission. Midway through the exercise, according to the plan, we needed to temporarily play the role of corpses. So, I spotted a relatively concealed shelter and lay down without hesitation. I secretly thought it would be a good opportunity to catch a quick nap and relieve some of the fatigue from the past few days.
However, things rarely go as planned. Just as I was about to drift off into dreamland, I suddenly felt a weight pressing down on my leg. This unexpected turn of events startled me awake instantly; all sleepiness vanished, and I was wide awake. I quickly lifted my head to see who was being so reckless. To my surprise, it was A Yu, grinning at me with mischief in his eyes.
I glared at him and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble? Get lost!" To my astonishment, he showed no intention of moving away; instead, he continued grinning and said, "Don't be mad! I'm just here to protect you from enemy bullets." Hearing his words made me both angry and amused; I cursed silently in my heart that this little brat had ruthlessly ruined what could have been a relaxing moment.
As we progressed into the later stages of training, our focus shifted almost entirely to exercise-related content. Day after day, we immersed ourselves in high-intensity physical training. When we finally entered the exercise phase, that was when the real challenge began. With a distance of exactly one kilometer remaining to our target, we had to launch an all-out assault fully armed.
I remember one simulated assault where the situation was particularly tricky. We found ourselves deep in the mountains, shrouded in mist with extremely low visibility; the ground was littered with stones of various sizes, making the path rugged and difficult. In such challenging conditions, an accident occurred: one comrade's shoe got punctured by a sharp rock! Moreover, due to the poor terrain, sprained ankles were frequent occurrences. Faced with such dire circumstances, everyone's mental resilience was put to a severe test.
Fortunately, thanks to our persistent training over time, we had developed solid fundamentals and a comprehensive sense of self-protection. Therefore, despite encountering these difficulties and obstacles, their negative impacts remained within an acceptable range.
The exercise involved multiple units using live ammunition. Before departure, our Company Commander specifically reminded us to pay attention to safety and keep our minds sharp. When we arrived at the assembly point that day, the weather was surprisingly good—clear skies with excellent visibility. As soon as we received the command from headquarters, everyone surged forward along the designated route toward our target point. The duty officer counted heads upon arrival; no one fell behind and everyone arrived safely. The Company Commander let out a long sigh of relief before issuing orders for us to occupy and attack from our starting position. Everyone charged forward like fierce tigers amidst gunfire.
Suddenly, I felt a wave of heat wash over me from my right side; it was my comrade firing at an enemy bunker with a flamethrower! Even from over ten meters away, I could feel its power. At that moment, tanks began arriving in succession; infantry-tank coordination proceeded methodically. We heard headquarters call out that they had discovered enemy fire points; immediately after that came an artillery barrage that shot straight into the sky. The Mortar unit unleashed shells that accurately struck their targets while tanks swiftly pounded concrete fortifications—it was truly an exhilarating battle! In the end, we planted our unit flag atop the mountain peak as if proclaiming that wherever the red flag pointed would be invincible—that Chinese soldiers are unbeatable! Amidst everyone's cheers, we successfully completed this exercise and received high praise from our superiors while giving ourselves a satisfactory answer.
As we marched toward Camp with slightly heavy yet expectant steps, everyone silently picked up their weapons and began cleaning them meticulously. That familiar texture and cold metallic sheen reminded us that this might be our last intimate contact with them here.
Before long, we were about to embark on our return journey away from this place where we had sweated and weathered storms together. That evening, our Company prepared extra meals for us with several delicious dishes. Everyone gathered around together—laughing and joking while sharing amusing stories that made us all burst into laughter. The bittersweet feelings of fatigue and melancholy that had weighed on us seemed to vanish without a trace at that moment.
The nerves that had been taut for days finally relaxed completely at this moment. Laughter echoed throughout the camp, creating an atmosphere of warmth and harmony. As night fell gradually and the noise subsided bit by bit, everyone returned to their respective tents for rest. That night, everyone slept exceptionally soundly—including me.
In my dreams, it felt as if I had traveled through time to some day many years later. We were still dressed in crisp military uniforms standing proudly beside a crystal-clear stream. The banks were shaded by lush trees while a gentle breeze brought refreshing coolness. We excitedly set up a grill and lit charcoal fires to start cooking various delicious foods. The air filled with the aroma of grilled meat mingled with laughter as everyone savored mouthwatering barbecue while gathering around steaming hot pots.
From the first rays of sunlight glistening on the water's surface in the morning until stars twinkling in the night sky above us later on—such beautiful moments flowed by slowly like water. We fully enjoyed this rare leisure and comfort while reminiscing about past experiences along with dreams and aspirations for the future.
