Chapter 288: The Diaries of our Soldiers

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Soldiers usually have the habit of writing in a diary.

In fact, when teaching the squad, the instructor had told Wang Ye and the others about it in class.

As a squad leader, it was a good habit to train and instruct the soldiers to keep a diary. It was also a very necessary thing to do.

This was what the instructor of the teaching team had said at the time: “We are soldiers. Wearing this uniform and holding this rifle, we can die for our country at any time, in honour and glory.

This kind of thing is difficuly to say. It is foolish to think that just because we’re in a peaceful environment now, us soldiers can relax and let our guard down.

Especially for people like us around the borders.

Who knows, one day we might run into vicious criminals from overseas or even traitors within our borders.

Writing a diary, when you have nothing to do, use it as an essay, as a private place to write down your thoughts. If you have any problems in your military career, then you can take it back when you retire.

After many years later, when you get fat and your eight-pack abs have become an oval ball, you can take out your diary and reminisce your special period of youth!”

Ye San Shi had actually said something similar before. At that time, he was still in the recruit company. Before the grenade was thrown, and even in the next company, Zhou Qi had also said it.

However, everyone usually don’t take it too seriously when they are writing in their diary.

Or rather, he treats it as a logbook, recording his daily life and thinking of it as a souvenir after he has retired from the army.

However, no one was in the mood to write in their diaries tonight.

Some sergeants are very serious about their diaries. They had experienced flood relief and other types of disaster reliefs.

They also know how helpless humans feel when facing natural disasters.

The two soldiers were also writing very seriously.

Only Peng Yu Hang seemed to be in a daze in Class Eight.

He was even looking at everyone as he wrote.

Seeing that Wang Ye had stopped writing, he hesitated for a moment, but eventually he still walked over.

In Class Eight, he could only chat with Wang Ye without any burden.

“Brother Wang, are you done with your diary?” He went to Wang Ye’s table and quietly asked.

“Mmm.” Wang Ye looked at him and nodded.

H

By the way Brother Wang, do you still have cigarettes on you?”

“Hmm?” Wang Ye looked at him in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, this guy didn’t smoke.

However, Wang Ye still nodded and said, “Yes, have you learned to smoke?” But you can’t do so yet, right?”

What Wang Ye meant was that he had not completed the recruit no-smoking period yet.

Peng Yu Hang smiled and turned his head to look carefully at the others in Class Eight. Then, he smiled and continued to say to Wang Ye in a soft voice,”It’s not for me!”

As he spoke, he showed Wang Ye his notebook.

The notebook was ajar, and both pages were left blank.

However, he could see the words through the page on his left hand.

Of course, this was not the main point.

The main point was that this guy actually dug a hole in the right side of the notebook!

“Hehe, Brother Wang, 1 want to stick a cigarette in here. So that when 1 become famous, the day when someone looks through my diary they will realize there’s a cigarette in here. Imagine how they would feel!”

Wang Ye was surprised by how his brain worked.

To be honest, Wang Ye was now very curious about what he had written in his diary.

“What exactly did you write inside? Still want your readers to feel surprised!”

Just then, Peng Yu Hang looked left and right again. He whispered, “Brother

Wang, only if you don’t laugh about it and tell no one else. I’ll show you what 1 wrote!”

“Okay!” Wang Ye nodded in agreement.

He just wanted to see what this guy was getting at.

Then, Wang Ye saw it.

The fellow flipped the first page over.

“I’m a soldier. 1 serve the country and the people without regrets!”

Seeing this line of words, Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

But immediately, Wang Ye saw that there were obvious signs that a page had been torn off.

At this time, Peng Yu Hang’s soft laughter came from the side, “Hehe, I originally wrote that I am a soldier, and I would die without regrets for the country and the people. However, 1 felt that 1 wasn’t as cool as I claimed to be, so 1 changed it.

Brother Wang, 1’11 put another cigarette inside later. Then, I’ll add another sentence after that. Thank you for helping me deal with my funeral. Please have this cigarette as a form of gratitude.”

Peng Yu Hang winked at Wang Ye and smiled happily.

He said,” Brother Wang, what do you think? If one day when I’m really famous and someone opens my diary, will they be immediately shocked and admire my deep love for my country?”

“Haha, yes, definitely!” Wang Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

To be honest, if he didn’t see this guy’s smile and listen to his words now, Wang Ye could imagine that if that time really came and he opened the diary of a comrade who had sacrificed his life and saw such a scene, he would probably burst into tears.

But now…

Looking at the fellow beside him winking, Wang Ye didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Well written. 1 really hope there won’t be a day when you don’t show off!”

Wang Ye didn’t know how to evaluate it, so he just commented that.

“Hehe, of course. I just want to play. I don’t want to die young.”

Writing this, I actually didn’t want anyone else to see it.

I was only thinking that after I retire, when I have a son and when he grows up,

I can show him what 1 went through.”

“I’ll tell him when the time comes.”

Look at your father. Back then, in the face of danger, he wrote this line without hesitation!”

Wang Ye looked at him and was speechless for a moment.

“Here, I’ll give you a cigarette!”

Wang Ye reached into his pocket. With a thought, half a bag of cigarettes appeared in his hand.

After taking it out, Wang Ye directly gave it to him.

“Hehe, one is enough. I’m not really going to give it to anyone. I’ll just pretend!”

Peng Yu Hang laughed.

“Tell me, you’ve already shown me today. If one day you’re really famous and 1 come to collect things for you, won’t you be able to shock me?”

Wang Ye suddenly looked at him with a smile and said this.

Uh…” Peng Yu Hang was stunned.

Then, he spat,”Pui, pui, pui…” No way, I’m very afraid of death. This is just a gimmick.

“Brother Wang, you better not tell anyone, I’m leaving!”

This fellow took a few cigarettes, immediately turned around, and got to work.

It was obvious that he wanted to stuff them into the hole in his diary, and at the same time, he wanted to add that sentence.

At this moment, Wang Ye looked at his back view.

To be honest, Wang Ye was still a little touched.

This guy was laughing on the surface.

However, if he didn’t have the heart or the thoughts of dying, how could he possibly write those words?

That night, after the lights were turned off, everyone lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Since they had rested during the day and did not train, they were full of energy. In addition to the notice given by the instructor earlier, everyone’s hearts had been on edge.

The main reason was that the heavy rain outside did not show any signs of stopping.

Everyone was ready. When the gathering whistle sounded, they got up immediately.

but…

Throughout the night, from the moment everyone dozed off, no whistle had actually sounded.

The next day.

“The rain has lightened! It looked like the sun might really come out today!”

Wang Ye didn’t hear any rain when he woke up. He looked outside and saw that although it was still raining, it was already very light.

His originally gloomy mood instantly became better.

Wang Ye knew that this was also the time to make contributions to the flood fighting and rescue.

However, he would rather not have such credit.

As a soldier, he killed enemies on the battlefield and defended the country.

For example, in the last mission. If he could directly participate in the pursuit of criminals, he would feel his blood boil.

On the contrary, Wang Ye would rather not come to this flood fighting and emergency rescue.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of death, nor was he afraid of being tired. He simply didn’t want a disaster to happen.

“The rain scared me last night. Alright, it’s fine now! “Wei Qing Hai sat on the bed and said with a smile.

“It’s good that nothing happened.” Zhou Qi also smiled.

Alright, stop dawdling. Get up. Let’s go downstairs and train!”

It was raining, so it was not easy to exercise outside. However, since there was a gym in the Fourth Company, which was an indoor club we could exercise inside.

It was already Monday, so there was no need to wake up early in the morning to rest just because it was still raining outside.

Wang Ye also swept away his originally gloomy mood and began to change his shoes in a relaxed state.

Training, eating breakfast, and the rain that had obviously lightened, the entire Fourth Company had regained their vitality. Even on the way to breakfast, everyone was laughing and talking about the nervous mood and emotions they had caused by the regimental command last night.

Everything seemed to have passed.

“Unity is…”

In the canteen, because it was still raining outside, the song before dinner was changed to be played in the canteen.

However, it was just the beginning.

It was very abrupt.

“Woo ~”

The entire camp instantly sounded the emergency assembly call.

“What’s going on?”

In the cafeteria, everyone’s singing stopped.

At this moment, many of the soldiers were a little stunned.

Of course, those who reacted quickly, such as Wang Ye, could visibly tell were shaken.

“Quick, go back and pack your things!”

Wu Jian Feng stood in front of his table and shouted in anger and frustration.

After shouting, he ran away.

He wanted to go back to the company headquarters to see what was going on and what orders had been given.

“Let’s go…Hurry up and leave!”

At this moment, Zhou Qi shouted.

Actually, he didn’t even need to say anything. Everyone had already run towards the door.

No one was eating breakfast, or rather, it was impossible to eat even if they wanted to.

They hadn’t even gotten the food yet. It would be to rush to even get a few buns now.

They had to gather first..
