Bargaining in the barracks? Not only the officers and men of the third platoon, even Zhang Yifeng, Liu Yuan and others are strange to look at the “newcomer” Wu Litao, this goods seems to be more than Yuan Heng also prickly ah!
Really …… interesting.
We are happy to see that he is not afraid to die.
The platoon leader: “Why?”
WU LITAO: “Report! For the haircut!”
Platoon Leader: “You come up and lie down.”
Wu Litao smoothed out his long hair and got down on the ground, the posture is not important, the important thing is – to be handsome!
Platoon Leader: “Li Tiezhu out of the line, you shower.”
Li Tiezhu: “Yes!”
Then, Li Tiezhu drenched a scoop of ice water directly on the head of House Towers, he knew that the platoon leader called him out to do this.
Wu Li Tao: “Li Tiezhu, my hairstyle ……”
However, it was just a roar, he stood up and met Li Tiezhu on all fours.
Dock Litao’s long wet hair drooped over his face, and he spat out a bit of ice water from his mouth:
“biu~”
Li Tiezhu: “……”
One look at Li Tiezhu’s eight-pack abs, Dock Litao smiled evilly and slipped away. This bastard is a stupid dick, his red belongs to the black red, not being black is not comfortable.
Not …… your beloved hairstyle is wet and messy, why don t you fry it?
I can t beat him, as soon as I stroke my long hair in Dockley Towers.
It was Yuan Heng s turn to report! I want to ask, what’s the point of this?”
Platoon Leader: “What are you going to say?”
Yuan Heng: “Drenching yourself in ice water on a cold day means nothing except hurting your body, form over substance!”
This prick was truly a difficult person.
All the soldiers in the entire platoon immediately stared angrily as they felt insulted.
Yuan Heng was startled, but still insisted on determining that this was pointless.
It was nothing to be drenched in ice water, Yuan Heng felt that his body was fully capable of withstanding it, but he just had the habit of blowing up his spines, thinking that this was simply stupid to the point of explosion.
What was the point of practising against the cold for no reason? Was it to create an effect for the programme team?
He thought to himself that he shouldn’t be a clown, and that this kind of training shouldn’t exist.
The platoon leader said, ”You think this is meaningless formalism? You think this is showmanship for no reason?”
Yuan Heng: “That’s all I see.”
The platoon leader said angrily, “The fact that you only saw this only proves your ignorance and superficiality!”
Yuan Heng felt humiliated, he thought he was more knowledgeable than these big-headed soldiers, and he was very unconvinced that these pawns’ brains were ossified.
Pop-up:
“Yuan Heng is really stupid.”
“I think he’s right, what’s the point of training like this?”
“It’s just to look good.”
“Formalism is too obvious, how dare Yuan Heng say that!”
“Please! Those who think Yuan Heng is right, do you know the history of this unit?”
“Ignorant and shallow!”
“Thinking they’re level-headed, but they’re really nothing more than stupid.”
“Read more!”
“This troop …… is bullish and bombastic!”
And this programme naturally caught fire abroad because of Li Tiezhu, especially Omni, mainly spreading on oil cans. In fact, this is the effect that the programme group wants, even the other side of the joint filming …… CCTV, is also happy to see it, because, this is a positive propaganda.
In the previous instalment, the foreign audience appeared to be extraordinarily excited because, finally, they saw that legendary eastern army.
Mysterious, powerful and omnipotent, these were the inherent perceptions that many westerners had of the Chinese soldiers.
Some even thought that the soldiers of this army were robots, not knowing pain, not knowing fear, and not knowing what it means to back off.
The harshness and joy of the last instalment allowed them to see a flesh-and-blood oriental army, and in addition to the overly harsh discipline, they also saw humanity and warmth, as well as a resilience that westerners could not understand.
For example, the instructor who continued to lead the training even though he had a high fever, the squad leader who seemed harsh but was actually warm-hearted, and then the recruits who took turns to help Du Haibo run.
They can’t help but think that such an army is indeed hard to shake.
However, in this instalment, they were getting sceptical as well, and were quite supportive of Yuan Heng’s questioning of what use this kind of perverted training without any real meaning was, apart from displaying the twisted sense of superiority of the army’s officers.
The pop-ups were also more intense than the domestic programme:
“I’m afraid such an army will not be loved by the soldiers.”
“The actor called Yuan is right, meaningless training will only make people bored.”
“Aynpera Lee should stand up against this kind of behaviour.”
“I was touched by the last instalment’s don’t give up and give in, while this instalment’s Ice Bucket Challenge disappoints me.”
“The ice bucket challenge is nothing, but it needs to be voluntary.”
“It’s conceivable that China’s officialdom treats its people the same way, and their interior is full of bottom-up conflicts.”
“That’s why I believe in the China Collapse Theory …….”
The platoon leader glanced at Yuan Heng and named Li Tiezhu:
“Li Tiezhu, tell us why the third platoon of our Hero Company is training to resist cold and frost.”
Yuan Heng frowned, Li Tiezhu? He knows a hammer, this bastard is a fool!
The others were pretty much the same, they all felt that the platoon commander was afraid of Li Tiezhu, what could he know?
Li Tiezhu stood upright, paused, organised his language and said, “Because …… tears also freeze!”
Yuan Heng: “What?”
Wu Li Tao: “Are they new song lyrics? What the hell?”
Liu Yuan, on the other hand, subconsciously stood upright, he had already guessed what was going on.
Guo Xiaoxi and Zhang Yifeng, two veterans, were actually aware of the glorious history of this company, so they were solemn from start to finish.
The platoon leader nodded, fortunately Li Tiezhu was not the kind of star who put on a show, he really remembered the films he had made.
The entire Hero Company had seen That Year That Rabbit Those Things, because, at the beginning of the film, it was about their forefathers who had bathed in blood on the frontier, so they remembered that line about tears freezing even in their eyes very well.
The other soldiers of the third platoon, hearing Li Tiezhu’s words, also revealed a look of recognition.
Platoon Commander: “Continue.”
Li Tiezhu: “Yes! The Hero Company of the 20th Group Army is the first company in China to be named after a battle hero, and in the Korean War more than sixty years ago, this unit was one of the first to cross the Yalu River, and the first battle was the most gruesome Battle of Changjin Lake ……”
Yuan Heng was puzzled, what is Changjin Lake? What is Changjin Lake? History books have never learnt about it! Li Tiezhu didn’t make it up, did he?
Wu Litao also could not understand, but he chose to believe, and listened with some excitement.
Li Tiezhu continued: ”During the Battle of Changjin Lake, many soldiers of the Support Army, who lacked clothes and food, froze to death in the snow, but did not retreat for half a step! My platoon of my company was responsible for holding the small high ridge on the shore of Changjin Lake during this battle, and during the battle my platoon repelled eight attacks by the Mi Army. In the end, because of the extremely freezing weather as well as the enemy’s superiority in strength and powerful firepower, all of the platoon’s soldiers died heroically, leaving only the company commander alone, and when more than forty enemies once again touched the hill, Company Commander Yang resolutely picked up his explosives packets and rushed towards the enemy, dying with them at the age of 28.”
Almost without any omission or error, Li Tiezhu used the shortest language to describe the high-glory battle of this company’s platoon.
When he was in school, Li Tiezhu had learnt this content and remembered it very well, and later, in order to direct the animated film “That Year, That Rabbit, Those Things”, he looked for a lot of related books to check, and he understood more.
Although he is not smart, but his memory is quite good, this history, he has always remembered.
In fact, originally the programme team wanted to choose a special forces unit to record the programme, but the army let them come to this company because it was the most suitable.
It is simple, because of Li Tiezhu, because of “That Year, That Rabbit, Those Things”.
“Our army, our regiment, our company, and our platoon, froze to death countless times in that battle, even far more than the number of those killed in the engagement. It was because of their valour and tenacity that the great victory came later. Therefore, I guess …… every soldier in my company and my platoon must remember this history and always train to resist cold and freezing, not only to enhance physical fitness, but also to remember the martyrs and pass on their invincible fighting qualities! That’s why there’s the unique cold resistance training! I don’t know if it’s right!”
Li Tiezhu’s words fell, and the entire regiment fell silent.
Yuan Heng blushed, he just habitually questioned everything he felt was unreasonable, did not expect to kick the iron plate this time, the ultimate sentence …… arrogance stems from ignorance.
Dock Litao also put away the frivolous expression, eyes slightly red, he previously did not know that this unit this company this platoon …… is actually a god.
Zhang Yi Feng and Guo Xiaoxi nodded, and Liu Yuan came to a sudden realisation, and his eyes were full of admiration and impulse.
The platoon leader did not answer Li Tiezhu, but looked at the warriors below and asked:
“Is he right?”
“Right!!!”
The entire platoon of warriors were one voice, shocked beyond measure.
There was nothing more proud than being recognised by others, the warriors felt recognised by Li Tiezhu, and in turn, they recognised Li Tiezhu, recognising him as a member of this glorious company.
As for the others, sorry, the proud warriors of the Heroic Company didn’t identify with them yet.
The platoon leader stared at Yuan Heng: “In that war that changed the pattern of the world, in the first fiasco suffered by the Mi Army, which was claimed to be invincible, the forefathers braved the cold of -30 to -40 degrees, a handful of fried noodles and a handful of snow, and endlessly launched a charge, not afraid of the cold, not afraid of the pain, not afraid of death! Now, we are just a little bit drenched in icy water under the environment of food and clothing, and then we call for suffering and tiredness, worthy of being a soldier of the Hero Company? Now, Yuan Heng, do you still think this is formalism?”
Yuan Heng was dumbfounded, “I ……”
Platoon Commander: “If you still think it’s meaningless, you can not participate, and now you can put on your clothes and go back to your dormitory.”
Yuan Heng: “I apologise for the ignorant remarks I uttered, I’m sorry! I am willing to participate! And be proud of it!”
There was absolutely no temper.
The platoon leader didn’t say a word, twisted around and walked away, a true warrior would never look squarely at someone he despised, even if he was a so-called star.
Yuan Heng went to get down and drench himself in ice water, without any more half complaints.
On the oil tank, when the segment was played, the pop ups were dense:
“Is this true?”
“We were once defeated by this army?”
“They don’t even have clothing for the winter?”
“Sadly, to be fair we were wiped out by them in formation in that battle ……”
