Chapter 289
Hearing the word "deserter", Zhou Zhongyi's heart trembled.
He gritted his teeth and said "No."
"What's not?"
Lin Hui stared at him closely: "You are the head of the regiment, our backbone, and the whole regiment follows you! Now you are leaving, leaving us all here?"
"The competition is about to start, and the whole regiment is counting on you to lead. If you quit at this time, what else can you do but desert?"
Zhou Zhongyi's face was full of bitterness: "I have no other choice..."
Lin Hui pointed at him and yelled: "Stop talking about those useless things. If you have any difficulties, we will help you together!"
"Don't talk about leaving anymore, no one in our regiment can be left behind!"
"Have you forgotten that we agreed to rush for the first place together and work together to make our regiment better and stronger?"
Zhou Zhongyi lowered his head, looking embarrassed.
If he could choose, wouldn't he want to stay?
Here is his youth, everything he has paid for, and the soldiers he is most reluctant to leave.
But he can't let his lover down.
If possible, he didn't want to leave at all, but now there is no way.
He can only choose one of the two favorites, choose one and give up one.
Lin Hui panted and sat opposite him: "Why don't you say something?"
After a long time, Zhou Zhongyi looked up at him: "Lin Hui, I know what you are thinking, and I did say it at the beginning. I also want to participate in the competition with everyone, get a ranking, and watch the Tiger Regiment get better and better..."
Lin Hui felt very uncomfortable.
He knew that even if he talked his lips dry, he couldn't change the captain's mind.
What is coming will come, and it can't be stopped.
If it were him, and the person he cared about most around him had an accident, he would probably think the same way if he put himself in his shoes.
But he knew that the captain was reluctant to leave, and couldn't let go of the army or the soldiers in the regiment.
For an old soldier, the army has become his second home.
No matter which one he abandoned, he would be particularly sad.
Zhou Zhongyi held his hand and said, "This time when I went back, I saw my wife lying on the bed outside the ward through the glass, with tubes inserted all over her body. My heart... hurts so much that I can't tell."
He smiled bitterly: "After so many years in the army, I can only go home once a year. It's a blessing from the Buddha."
"For so many years, she has been running the family. Although she has not been educated and has little education, she has managed the family in an orderly manner."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhongyi couldn't stop shaking: "If, if I hadn't been away from home all year round and couldn't help the family, she wouldn't have secretly gone to the restaurant to serve dishes at night without telling me, Take a second job."
"If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been hit by a car."
His eyes were full of self-blame: "In the hospital, my son stood opposite me, and I didn't know how to face him. After so many years, we have been together for so long, and I don't even know what grade my child is in now, or how good his grades are?"
"I'm not a good husband, nor a good father. I'm sorry for them!"
Lin Hui stared at him: "But you are a good soldier and a good regiment commander!"
Zhou Zhongyi sighed deeply: "I have devoted all my youth to the army, and I have been doing my duty for so many years. Now, it's time to take off the This set of clothes, back to the family. "
"Although my wife woke up, she lost her legs and will have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life. My son is still young, and my daughter is even younger, just entering kindergarten."
"I can't let her be like this anymore, and continue to take care of them alone."
He looked at Lin Hui and smiled, "In fact, if it were before, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make up my mind and leave the army."
"Maybe I would have to be a bad husband and a bad father."
"But since I saw you, I can finally make up my mind."
Lin Hui pointed at himself in surprise: "Me?"
Zhou Zhongyi nodded vigorously: "That's right! At the beginning, you came from the border When he was transferred to our place, he first led the Sixth Company to improve, and then led the entire regiment to improve!"
"I haven't seen everyone so motivated and energetic for a long time."
He went on to say: "In the subsequent exercise, it was you who led the team to take down the Blue Army Headquarters and reverse the situation after our entire regiment was destroyed!"
"When the Tiger Regiment was about to disband, you were the first to stand up and take the lead in asking for orders from the division headquarters, and finally saved our regiment!"
"In the border dispute, you also led everyone to drive away the enemy and save the land of the motherland!"
"..."
Listening to the regiment commander telling the past and present one by one.
Lin Hui's tears kept rolling in his eyes.
He couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of their struggle together.
Zhou Zhongyi slapped Lin Hui on the shoulder, pulling his thoughts back: "Especially the forest fire not long ago, I saw the spirit of the predecessors in you, and the tenacity of never giving up!"
"At that time, you were like a big tree made of steel, standing in front of everyone, not letting the flames devour them, not letting the smoke drown them."
"You are a competent big brother and a good commander."
"With you here, I can also unload everything without scruples and leave with peace of mind."
Lin Hui's tears could not stop flowing.
At this moment, he did not have the slightest joy after being praised, only unspeakable discomfort and reluctance.
But without the regiment commander, is this regiment still complete?
Lin Hui looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Regiment commander, can you not leave? I have sent away the old squad leader before, I, I really don't want to see another familiar person leave."
"It's too uncomfortable, that feeling, it's really too uncomfortable."
Zhou Zhongyi's eyes were also full of tears. If there was a choice, do you think I didn't want to stay?
Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are not perfect. Both sides of the hand are made of flesh. No matter which side you choose, you will hurt the other side.
He choked and said, "Lin Hui, you are good in everything, but you are too sentimental."
"In the army, people will come and go, and there is no banquet that will last forever."
"Being together is fate, and not being together is God's will. Work hard and try to bring our regiment out!"
He took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I hope that after I go back, I can hear good news about our regiment one day, and then give a thumbs up and say: You little brat, you really didn't let me down!"
"By then, I can also brag to others that I was the head of this regiment back then, and there was a best soldier named Lin Hui in that regiment, and he was the soldier I brought up!"
Lin Hui leaned back in his chair, tears streaming down his face.
This kind of separation pain made him feel uncomfortable and breathless.
Zhou Zhongyi also gritted his teeth and cried silently.
He patted Lin Hui's shoulder gently, and the two of them remained silent.
…
Early the next morning, a car roared out of the regiment.
Everyone was curious, and Wang Yong asked: "Where is Brother Hui driving alone so early in the morning?"
Everyone shook their heads: "I don't know?"
A few hours later, Lin Hui arrived at the division headquarters.
After getting off the car, he rushed directly into the building.
As soon as he approached, he was stopped by two guards downstairs: "What are you doing?"
Lin Hui said anxiously: "I have an urgent matter to see the division commander!"
The two guards frowned, and he quickly added: "My name is Lin Hui, and I am the battalion commander of the Tiger Regiment. The division commander said that if you encounter difficulties, you can come to him at any time!"
The guards looked at each other, and one of them immediately went to call for instructions.
After a while, he ran back: "The division commander said that he is in a meeting and has no time to see you. Let you go back and continue training."
Lin Hui was anxious. What kind of meeting is there in the early morning? It is obvious that he is deliberately avoiding me.
He could only shout upstairs: "Division Commander, I'm Lin Hui! You said that I would come to you when I encountered difficulties. How can you go back on your word? Our regiment commander is going to retire and will leave soon. You should at least meet him!"
Several guards were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a bold person.
He actually dared to shout in the division headquarters and asked the division commander to come out to see him!
An officer rushed out quickly and pointed at him angrily: "What the hell are you doing? This is the division headquarters. Who asked you to make trouble here? Arrest him!"
Several guards immediately rushed up and tried to hold his hands behind his back to subdue him.
Lin Hui struggled forward desperately, and four or five people couldn't hold him down.
He shouted at the top with red eyes: "Division Commander, come out! Are you still a soldier? Your soldiers are leaving, don't you even ask a question, division commander?"
At the same time, Lv Qingsong was standing behind a window on the third floor.
I never had the courage to take another step forward.
Afraid that Lin Hui would see him.
The deputy division commander behind him sighed: "Old Lu, just let him come up. What's the point of making so much noise down there? I know you're sad, but he's gone as the regiment commander, so he's also sad. Can't you just talk it out?"
Lu Qingsong shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I know what kind of character this kid has. I can't help him. This is Zhou Zhongyi's own decision."
"Let him shout. He'll feel good when he shouts, and I'll feel good too."
His eyes were red, and his face was filled with sadness and loss that was difficult to conceal.
Zhou Zhongyi was his soldier and the best regiment commander of 602.
After knowing each other for so many years, their relationship was no longer just a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Now Zhou Zhongyi is about to retire, and his sadness is no less than Lin Hui's, only more.
But as a division commander, he can only bear it all silently, even ifMisunderstood.
The deputy division commander sighed and turned away.
After a long while, Lin Hui's throat was almost hoarse, but he still couldn't call out Lu Qingsong.
He shook off the guards and walked to his car in a daze.
After sitting in the car for a long time, just as he was about to start the car, someone suddenly called him: "Wait!"
Lin Hui turned his head and saw that it was the deputy division commander running towards him quickly.
He got out of the car and saluted: "Hello, deputy division commander."
The deputy division commander looked at him and said earnestly: "Don't blame the division commander, and don't blame him. Zhou Zhongyi is your good commander, and he is also a soldier brought up by Lao Lu. Now he is leaving, and the division commander is also very sad."
Lin Hui didn't understand: "Then why doesn't he want to see me? At least we can do something for him before the regiment commander leaves?"
"It's useless."
The deputy division commander shook his head helplessly: "This time he insisted on leaving, and the report has been submitted."
"His family is in trouble, and his wife is still lying in bed. Even if he is cured, he can only use a wheelchair in the future. How can we help him?"
Lin Hui said anxiously: "Deputy division commander, I know the regiment commander and know that he wants to be a soldier from the bottom of his heart. He loves the army and can even dedicate everything to the army."
"Here is his youth and all his good memories."
"Now that his family is in trouble, our army does not help him and lets him go in disgrace. Are we still human beings?"
The deputy division commander was speechless.
A soldier has dedicated everything to the army, but when he is in trouble, the army does not help at all.
It is really unreasonable.
He looked at Lin Hui: "Then tell me, is there any way to help him?"
Lin Hui said seriously: "We can transfer him to their local unit and let him be closer to home, so that he can stay in the unit he loves and take care of his family life."
"Besides, it can also guarantee a stable source of income, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
The deputy division commander looked at him like a fool, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lin Hui, Lin Hui, you are really naive. Do you think it is so easy to transfer people?"
"Do you think your father is the commander, so you can transfer him just like that?"
