The first 200 lines.
Chief,
I insist on repairing the road
even for being damned.
Chief,
I’m really scared.
At the end of last year,
the main force of Division 234
was stuck on the highway for 12 hours
during the Southern 83 Exercise.
I have never been afraid in all my years as a soldier.
I’m really scared this time.
I’m afraid that
when the country needs us in the field,
we won’t be able to make it.
The war will be lost before it has even begun.
The thought of this
makes me break out in a cold sweat.
If our Division 234 is not the main force,
there will be no problem in repairing the road a few years later.
Once the war comes,
there will be the main force in front of us.
But chief,
we are the main division.
We are the first motorized infantry division
in the entire military district.
Once the war breaks out,
who will stand in front of us?
Are you lecturing me?
Well, the porridge smells good.
It makes me hungry.
Let me have a taste first.
That’s not for you.
One, two, three, four.
The Ninth Company is back.
One, two, three, four.
Hurry up, keep up.
Rest in place for a minute.
[Outstanding community-level officers and soldiers. Advanced community-level company.]
Stop.
All attention!
Stand at attention!
Dress right!
Eyes front!
Comrade deputy commander,
the Ninth Company has completed its training plan
and has returned to the camp.
Please give instructions.
Company Commander Qin Hanyong.
Stand at ease, please.
Yes, chief.
Stand at ease.
Qin Hanyong.
Yes.
Why did you come back now?
Chief,
two kilometers of highway roadbed
had been washed away
and vehicles could not pass through.
We could only get off the bus and walk for six hours,
climb over Banyueling
and return to the camp.
Chief,
we did not return to the camp
beyond the time stipulated
in the training plan.
Great.
Comrades,
I see something
in your eyes.
Something that
I once saw in the eyes of my comrades
on the Long March.
On the anti-Japanese front,
I saw it in the eyes of
the officers and soldiers of the Iron Hiker Regiment.
In the Korean battlefield,
I also saw it in the eyes of
the officers and men of
the Division 234 of the volunteer army.
That is the determination
to complete the task,
to overwhelm the enemy
and to seize the victory!
Comrades, you have worked hard!
Here are my orders.
Stand at attention.
Target Canteen
It’s dinner time.
Yes, Chief.
Er Ganzi.
After all these years with me,
can you see
why I care so much about
the food and shelter of my soldiers?
Chief,
When you were a soldier,
the troops were in poor condition and
logistics were not perfect at that time.
Our troops
have come from hard times.
In fact,
regardless of the era,
being a soldier is the most bitter.
For example,
I have sacrificed
many comrades
all the way from the Red Army period.
I can’t even remember
how many of my comrades
were killed by a bullet
with delicious food on their backs
or new shoes made by their mothers
or wives in their bags.
In the end,
when people died,
they left behind delicious food and clothes.
So,
the last thing I can tolerate is
to keep the soldiers waiting.
However,
you’re right too.
A meal's late for six hours.
If there is a war,
some soldiers
may not get the meal.
I admit my mistake.
Chief, it’s my fault.
I pushed too hard.
I’ll
make a statement to you two.
The barracks
need to be renovated,
but your readiness road
needs to be repaired as well.
Thank you, Chief.
What?
Many thanks to Chief.
Well, I will immediately convey the good news
to all officers and soldiers in the division.
Thanks, Chief.
Political Commissar,
this trip to the headquarters of Deputy Commander Xiao
asked for the money
for road repairing for us.
The older, the wiser.
Have a seat, please.
Deputy Commander Xiao said that
this is due to
the report you wrote.
After reading the letter,
the head officer in charge of logistics
was in tears.
It’s your pen.
The credit must be
attributed to Deputy Commander Xiao.
However,
in order to balance with other units,
the funds allocated this time
are still 2-3 million
shorts of the actual cost.
So, what should we do?
There’s no choice.
We’ll repair the road ourselves,
tighten our belts
to repair this readiness road.
The construction section of the Regiment 720
is the most dangerous terrain in the whole section,
but they have an amazing construction speed.
Especially the Ninth Company, can complete the most difficult task.
Extremely combative.
More than half of the equipment and materials for road construction
are in their place.
You remind them to take precautions in advance
and reinforce the wall behind the warehouse
to prevent mountain torrents.
Hurry up.
In addition,
the No. 3 National Defense Readiness Depot
is in their neighborhood.
You send Chen Dashan to ask
what they need us to do.
These are all the country’s readiness materials.
They are treasures
and should be protected.
Yes, Commander.
Notify the Regiment 720
to withdraw from the construction site immediately
to ensure the safety of officers and soldiers.
All attention!
Stop
and move back.
We can’t stop.
If the flow of water is too strong, the warehouse may be washed away.
Director Zhao,
there’s nothing I can do. Our superiors told us to withdraw.
I have to follow orders.
I…
Qin Hanyong.
Division Commander.
How is it going?
