The referee team had some disputes about the results, and also postponed the time to announce the results. In the past, the unified announcement at the evening meeting will be announced tomorrow morning.
This was a difficult night for both Qi Sheng and Qi Hang.
But what is supposed to come will eventually come.
Early the next morning, all participating teams blew the whistle and gathered.
On the stage, the chief announced the result.
First place——
Intelligence Reconnaissance Brigade Team.
Second place——
Tiger Brigade representative team.
The total score was also disclosed, with a difference of one point.
It is said that this result was the result of the referee team meeting until lights out at night before the chief finally made the decision and asked the referee team to vote.
The vote count is also interesting.
There were seven judges on the team, four of whom voted for the Intelligence Brigade and three for the Tiger Brigade.
The moment the results were announced, the scene was filled with excitement.
Some were shocked.
There is regret.
Some are surprised.
There was jubilation.
certainly……
There are also those who are disappointed.
Qi Sheng seemed to have expected this result, but he couldn't accept it.
But since you are here to compete, you have to afford to lose.
Finally, the chief announced that in order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the competition, a celebration banquet will be held tonight with additional dishes.
The award ceremony was very brief, with each team receiving a trophy for the total score and a certificate for each individual subject.
When Qi Hang came on stage, he was holding the championship trophy and laughing so hard that his ears split open.
After he got off the stage, his teammates swarmed up and lifted him up and threw him into the sky.
The military newspaper reporter stepped forward, held up his camera and clicked, freezing the moment Qi Hang flew into the sky.
Qi Sheng refused to come on stage.
Li Zheng received the trophy on his behalf.
Li Zheng declined and asked Mo San to come up, saying that the instructor was a regular official and the instructor should take the stage.
Mo San refused.
Because I have to change my career, and I have been a soldier for so many years, I have never been in the military newspaper.
There are reporters here at the moment, maybe if they can get a shot, it will not only be published in the military newspaper, but also on the CCTV military channel.
So he was very happy and happily led a group of sad-faced soldiers to the stage. As he walked, he said, "Why do you look like you are in a funeral?" What happened to the second one? Isn't it just one point away? The value of second place is almost the same as first place!
The soldiers still couldn't laugh.
Maybe everyone knows the reason for this failure.
In the final relay stage, Wang Song and He Xianbing, who were responsible for climbing up to set up the relay launch station, were as if they were on the execution ground. If Qi Sheng hadn't ordered them to go up, they would have refused to go on stage.
Receiving this award, whether it was Wang Song or He Xianbing, felt that it was a public honor.
Although there is an old saying that failure is the mother of success.
It's just that some failures are unacceptable to soldiers.
Especially when it comes to winning at the last minute with just a little bit of physical fitness, no one can accept it.
In fact, at the last moment of the day, Wang Song and He Xianbing were already only more than thirty meters away from the top of the mountain.
It happened that at this height of more than thirty meters, the two of them ran out of breath and failed to climb up in time.
In the end, they had no choice but to go out of their way and use their last strength to set up the launcher more than thirty meters away from the top of the slope.
Maybe it was because I was running too fast, maybe because my physical fitness was too poor.
Both of them couldn't keep up with their breathing. Their vision turned black, their throats felt sweet, and they felt like they were going to faint at any moment.
I don’t know if it was due to lack of oxygen that it affected the performance. Anyway, I ran into trouble when setting up the relay transmitter. I couldn’t debug it properly. It took me a long time to connect a signal line to the correct interface.
When the connection was completed, there seemed to be some signal intermittently, but when I looked at the time, it timed out...
At that time, they both wanted to jump off the mountain.
After the subject competition, the two sat directly in the snow on the hillside. Bai Ping later went up to call them down. After calling them down, he covered his face and cried bitterly as soon as he got into the car.
Soldiers have self-respect.
You can't cry under the car. Although there is no one around for a long distance, you are still afraid of being seen.
Come down from the stage and the award ceremony continues.
During the second half of the award ceremony, everyone forgot what the leader said on the stage. By the end, no one had listened to the other rankings except the first place.
After the team disbanded, Li Zheng originally wanted to accompany Qi Sheng back to the barracks, but just after taking a few steps, he suddenly saw Qi Sheng turn around and turn towards the direction of the Intelligence Investigation Brigade.
Li Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, worrying that this distant future relative of his, this stubborn nerdy company commander, would not really go to his old classmate and do something irrational.
So he quickly followed up, planning to stop Qi Sheng immediately if he made any unwise move.
Using his own skills to control Qi Sheng was a matter of skill.
This is a competition of the nature of the whole army. Brothers and units from all the surrounding units and theaters are present. Beating someone in front of them would not only be shameless, but also violate the discipline of the army.
Qi Hang also noticed Qi Sheng and saw him walking towards him. The smile slowly disappeared from his face as the distance got closer.
The soldiers around him seemed to sense something was wrong. When they turned around, they saw the second-ranked company commander walking towards his own company commander. Their eyes immediately showed a vigilant look, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Qi Sheng came to Qi Hang.
The cold air solidified.
The two of them were one meter apart, and each could see the white steam coming out of the other's nostrils.
After a long time, Qi Sheng suddenly stretched out his right hand.
"Old classmate, congratulations to you."
Qi Hang was stunned.
The expected scene did not appear.
He was a little surprised, so surprised that he was at a loss for a moment.
Suddenly, Qi Hang had the illusion that it was Qi Sheng who won, not himself.
"Thank you for your congratulations. In fact, your professional level is better than mine. I am lucky to get this first place."
Qi Hang finally stretched out his hand.
The two men held hands together on a plateau more than 5,000 meters above sea level.
Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers around Qi Hang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back, Qi Sheng walked silently, and Li Zheng accompanied him silently.
As they walked, Li Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Lao Qi, I thought you were going to hit someone."
He used to call Qi Sheng "company commander", but this time he called him "Lao Qi".
The names are different, and the sense of distance is different.
Qi Sheng turned his face sideways, looked at his deputy company commander, and said, who do you think I, Qi Sheng, am? Will I take action?
After saying that, his breath suddenly had a familiar taste again.
Just watch it, sooner or later I will beat him.
Li Zheng smiled.
Qi Sheng added, Lao Li, after returning to the company, I have no objection to everyone doing physical fitness.
Li Zheng asked him, has he figured it out?
Qi Sheng nodded and figured it out. After all, we are soldiers, not skilled workers. Technical workers also need some physical strength, let alone soldiers like us who are going to the battlefield.
He paused and said, I thought a lot last night. It was hard to accept it at first, but then I realized it was all my fault.
In the past, I have always opposed everyone doing too much physical training, always thinking that professional proficiency is the best training. Now I find that physical fitness is the foundation.
Li Zheng said, just think about it.
The two returned to the platoon. Qi Sheng gathered everyone and stood in front of the team for a long time. Finally, he said: "The responsibility lies with me, not with you. You are all good soldiers and good deeds! So, there is no need to commit suicide." Responsibility, I issued a military order from the brigade commander, I will go and receive the punishment!"
When he mentioned this, the soldiers suddenly became red-eyed.
"Company Commander, it's me who failed to live up to expectations..."
It was Wang Song who said this.
"Company Commander, I want to slap myself a hundred times, but I'm only thirty meters short! It's because I didn't train well enough..."
It was He Xianbing who said this.
"Don't talk nonsense! I am the commander of Car No. 2. I am the one who sent you, and of course the responsibility is also mine!"
It was Bai Ping who said this.
For a moment, sobbing could be heard in the team.
Li was about to say a few words of relief to comfort everyone, when suddenly Han Xiaobei appeared.
"What? Who are you standing here in silence for? Are all the big men bleeding like horses? Let me tell you, it is not shameful to come in second place, but it is seen that all the soldiers of our Tiger Brigade are here It’s really embarrassing to cry here.”
The deputy brigade commander appeared and everyone stopped sobbing immediately.
Qi Sheng and Li Zheng stepped forward to salute.
Han Xiaobei returned the greeting casually, and then said: "We won't leave tomorrow!"
Not leaving?
Li Zheng and Qi Sheng looked at each other and were stunned.
The martial arts competition is over, the awards have been handed out, and we have a celebration banquet in the evening. Are you still here to give birth to cubs tomorrow? !
Qi Sheng asked Han Xiaobei: "Deputy Brigadier, if you don't leave tomorrow, where should we go if we stay?"
Han Xiaobei said: "The brigade commander has decided. Now is the time for our brigade's annual training. Most of the other battalions are no longer stationed. Don't go back. He will come in person to accompany you to train on the plateau. For a while, by the way... I have a surprise for you!"
surprise?
Li Zheng and Qi Sheng were stunned again and asked almost in unison: "What's the surprise?" (End of Chapter)
