"Comrades, this afternoon, the company organized everyone to hold a singing competition to see which platoon has the most morale. Therefore, our training task today is mainly to prepare for the singing competition in the afternoon."
Before the afternoon training, the platoon leader issued the training tasks for this afternoon.
"Platoon leader, what kind of activity is singing? What is the competition like?" Li Erniu asked stupidly.
"The singing competition is actually very simple. It is a very interesting competition where you ask me to sing. After the competition starts, the leader and conductor will stand at the front of the team and shout slogans to other teams and invite each other to sing. For example, a Two three, hurry up, hurry up; one, two, three, four, five, we have been waiting so hard; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, we have been waiting so anxiously; one, two, three, four, five, six, we just ignore you; one, two, three Four, five, six, seven, eighty-nine, do you have any? If you are asked to sing, you will sing, and you will be coy and unseemly, like a flower girl; winter melon rind, watermelon rind, don't be shameless."
"Then, during the singing process, everyone's morale is compared with each other. At that time, it depends on whether we are united enough as a row. If our singing can overshadow each other's singing, then we have won."
After some explanations from the platoon leader, the recruits in the first platoon generally understood the format of the singing competition.
"Now, I will choose a team leader to command our platoon. Is there anyone who volunteers to be the team leader and lead everyone into battle?"
The recruits in a row stared at each other. No one had any experience in directing everyone to sing.
"Well, since no one is willing to volunteer to come forward, I'll just name them."
At this moment, Wang Chao immediately raised his hand and expressed his willingness to go on stage and give it a try.
"Okay, Wang Chao, come up."
The platoon leader originally planned to ask Li Xiang to come up and take command, but he didn't expect Wang Chao to volunteer and had to let Wang Chao come on stage to give it a try.
Wang Chao happily stood at the front of the team.
"Wang Chao, please direct everyone to sing a song and let me see."
The platoon leader wanted to see if Wang Chao was qualified for this command position.
"What song should I direct everyone to sing?"
Wang Chao stared blankly at the platoon leader.
"Of course it's a military song. Do you still want to direct everyone to sing a love song?" a platoon leader said jokingly.
The platoon leader's words instantly made all the recruits laugh, while Wang Chao stood on the stage in embarrassment.
"Which military song should I choose?" Wang Chao was searching for the military songs he knew in his mind. Suddenly, Wang Chao thought of a familiar song "Green Flowers in the Army".
"The cold wind is blowing the fallen leaves, let's sing together..."
Wang Chao was about to wave the beat when a platoon leader quickly came over to stop.
"Stop, stop, stop, I asked you to direct everyone to sing a military song. How do you conduct this military song! This military song cannot sing out everyone's morale."
"Then what military song are you singing?" Wang Chao looked at the platoon leader.
"Just direct everyone to sing "Unity is Strength."" A platoon leader was very disappointed with Wang Chao.
Wang Chao cleared his throat, and then began to sing softly: "Unity is strength, sing together."
Because of Wang Chao's soft words, the recruits in the row were led astray. What was originally a majestic military song was sung in a sissy tone.
"No, no, that's not how military songs are sung. If we go up to the competition like this, we don't even need to compete. We have already lost in one row."
The platoon leader thought for a moment and said, "Wang Chao, why don't you go down first? Li Xiang, come here and give it a try."
The platoon leader gave the order, and Wang Chao had no choice but to walk off the stage and watch Li Xiang walk up to the stage proudly.
Through Wang Chao's command, Li Xiang generally knows how to conduct the song. What is important in singing is the momentum, not how beautiful the singing is.
So, Li Xiang took a deep breath, cleared his throat, stood in the center of the team, and roared loudly: "Unity is strength, let's sing together."
The sound Li Xiang made was like a loud bell, deafening. After hearing the command's voice, all the recruits in the row immediately roared along.
"Unity is strength, unity is strength, that strength is iron, that strength is steel, harder than iron, stronger than steel, fire at fascism, let all undemocratic systems die, toward the sun, toward freedom, toward the new China shines brightly.
…. "
After the song was sung, the platoon leader immediately applauded and encouraged Li Xiang.
"Yes, very good."
A platoon leader walked up to Li Xiang.
"Li Xiang, let me tell you something. As long as you swing the beat a little harder, it will be perfect."
Seeing the platoon leader giving him personal instructions, Li Xiang quickly followed the platoon leader's instructions and started waving to beat time.
"Yes, yes, that's what it feels like. It's great."
On one side, there was a long line of praises and warm guidance, while on the other side, he was treated coldly. At this time, Wang Chao, who was at the bottom of the team, felt very unbalanced.
"Platoon commander, the company commander asked you to come over for a meeting."
At this time, the correspondent ran over and informed the first platoon leader to go to the company headquarters for a meeting. The first platoon leader had no choice but to put down what he was doing and go to the company headquarters for a meeting.
"Squad leader, you are responsible for the team. Let Li Xiang lead everyone to practice first. I will go to the company headquarters."
As soon as the platoon leader left, except for the recruits in the first class, the recruits in the first platoon relaxed one after another. What's more, there were some people who opposed Li Xiang. Among them, Wang Chao was a typical representative.
"Next, I'm going to shout a slogan. Everyone, please cooperate with me and practice with me. When I say one, two, three, you say fast, fast, fast. When I say one, two, three, four, five, you say we have worked so hard to wait. OK?"
Li Xiang continued to organize exercises seriously and responsibly.
"What to practice? If there's anything good to practice, just practice by yourself. We've already practiced it all. Can't you let us take a good rest?"
Just as Li Xiang was about to speak, Wang Chao immediately stood up and interrupted Li Xiang.
Because the third squad leader was not around, Wang Chao spoke unscrupulously. Although there was a squad leader watching over everyone at the scene, Wang Chao didn't take the first squad leader seriously at all. Anyway, the first squad leader was not his direct leader.
"Wang Chao, what are you talking about? The singing competition is related to the honor of our entire platoon. Everyone is practicing, why don't you practice with everyone."
Hearing Wang Chao's dissent, Gao Jie immediately stood up and refuted.
"Who said I don't want to practice anymore? Didn't I say I couldn't take a break? Besides, it seems like you are the only one with the most people, so why are you bullying us, the third class, with the few people? Why can only you, the first class, be in charge, and we, the third class, can't be the ones in charge? La song.”
Wang Chao deliberately provoked a conflict between the first class and the third class, and Wang Chao's words also made the first class leader look quite embarrassed. After all, the people standing on top were his own soldiers. If he criticized Wang Chao, he seemed to be protecting himself. person's suspicion.
"Yes, if you want to bully us, Class 3, because we have fewer people, then you have to ask our brothers in Class 3 if they agree."
Zhang Lei immediately stood up and echoed Wang Chao.
Well, now, under the malicious instigation of Wang Chao and Zhang Lei, the recruits of Class Three began to make a commotion, and some even pushed and shoved the recruits of Class One.
"Why did you touch me?"
"What's wrong with me just touching you? Is class one superior to our class three?"
"Why are you being unreasonable?"
"What can I say to you guys? If you don't agree, let's argue."
…
Suddenly, the recruits from Class 1 and Class 3 actually started fighting with each other.
"Everyone stop it, everyone stop it..."
The squad leader tried his best to start the fight between the two sides, but unfortunately it was difficult to calm it down with only his own strength. It wasn't until a platoon leader appeared that the two sides stopped fighting.
"You are all very capable, right? Even before you even play the game, you are already fighting among yourself. You are all very good at fighting, right? When it comes to training, you are so exhausted. The people you are fighting with are so tough." Can’t you focus all your energy on training?”
After a scolding, the platoon leader raised his hand and looked at his watch. There was not much time before the game, so he did not intend to pursue the matter further.
"Now, there is still more than an hour left before the game. During this hour, I hope everyone will practice hard for me and cooperate with Li Xiang's command. If there is any trouble again, I will never spare you. I will spare you the extra time. I won’t say much more, if you don’t get first place in this competition, look back and see how I deal with you.”
After saying that, the platoon leader continued to go back to the meeting, leaving Li Xiang to lead everyone in practice. And the platoon leader's lecture really shocked the platoon of recruits, and no one dared to continue to criticize them. However, after the platoon leader left, the recruits in Class Three showed little effort in the training, were unwilling to cooperate with Li Xiang, and started playing tricks on the team.
