When seeing this title, many people will think that this is a subject related to the life of the army. Yes, this is a story related to the life of the former army and closely related to real life. The story of how comrades from the division artillery command company met and chatted with their old company commander four years after they formed a group chat is deeply moving.
I participated in a group chat with comrades from the former 195th Division Artillery Command Company in February 2017. The group leader was the company radio station director. Comrades who had been in contact with each other for 30 to 40 years were able to meet again online. I was the 37th comrade in the online group when I joined the group, and it later grew to 80 people.
At that time, I had retired at home and contacted my comrades in the same company. I was overjoyed, thinking about it, and looking back on the past, I was very excited for a few days.
While I was excited, I still felt that I should do something related to the needs of my comrades, so I established a roster of personnel through the Internet and learned the brief status of most of my comrades. Later, I communicated with my comrades Contact us to collect photos, and edit the beautiful articles "Joint List of Comrades of the Division Artillery Command Company" with pictures and texts, "Comrades of the Artillery Command Company Reunite", and the music album and audio album with pictures and texts, making everyone more lively in the WeChat group. Almost every day, comrades greet each other and exchange information about their comrades.
After the Spring Festival in 2018, many comrades suggested organizing an event for everyone to meet and understand how they miss each other. After soliciting the opinions of comrades, and considering that the next year will be the 40th anniversary of the establishment of our company (the artillery command companies were added to each division in 1979), everyone united in thinking and prepared to hold a social gathering in Zhangjiakou City in the summer of 2019.
Since August 2018, preparations for comrade-in-arms friendship activities have been started on a group basis, the roster has been updated, and a 7-person preparatory team has been formed. Public opinion polls were organized to further achieve political awareness. In December, the preparatory group increased to 16 people and 11 sub-groups were established.
At that time, when we were planning the gathering of our comrades in Zhangjiakou, we also considered that the old company commander (the first company commander when the company was established in 1979) was temporarily unable to attend, so we made a reservation. , waiting for the right time to reunite with the old company commander.
In August 2019, a fraternity meeting for comrades of the former 195th Division Artillery Command Company was held in Zhangjiakou City. 56 comrades, their wives, 73 relatives and friends gathered together to express their friendship.
After the social activities, I used the photos I took to edit the beautiful article "Unforgettable Moments Reunion of Comrades in Arms" and the small rice cake "Cannon Points at Comrades Gathering in Mountain City". I also collected poems and prose from comrades in arms, and edited and printed " The beautiful book "Records of the Comrades-in-arms Friendship Meeting of the 195th Division Artillery Command Company" has become a testimony of the continuation of the comrades-in-arms friendship for thirty or forty years and a permanent memorial for everyone.
More than a year later, in January of this year, I thought it was time to contact the old company commander, so I used WeChat and phone to contact my comrades in the same company and confirmed the old company commander. His phone number did not change, so he greeted him a few times on the phone first, learned about his personal situation, added each other on WeChat, and gave a general report on the situation, gains and insights of the fraternity with the comrades in the same company, and put the beautiful music piece The photo album and the audio album of Little Rice Cake were sent to him, and he asked the old company commander to browse them.
The division artillery command company has served as two company commanders in total. The old company commander was the first and I was the second. The old company commander was also the platoon leader of the recruit company after I joined the army. During the three-month recruit training, I was in the division artillery regiment's new recruit company, one platoon and one class. It was a training demonstration class, benefiting from the strict requirements of the old platoon leader. . Six years later, in September 1983, he was re-elected as company commander in the division artillery command and was promoted to deputy section chief of the division artillery section. I joined his squad from the deputy company staff officer of the division artillery section and served as the second company commander. .
Because of this relationship, I have respected the old company commander very much for decades, especially after establishing a group with his comrades in the gun command company. I hope that he will join the comrades in the old company. Today, this wish finally came true. .
At 9:40, I sent a pre-notice in the group:
"Good morning, comrades! Let me tell you some good news. The old company commander has recently read the 2019 He also prepared to join the company comrades group to meet and chat with everyone."
A few minutes later, some comrades saw the information, Li Yulin, Zhi Baozhong, Shi Shenglin, Liu Zhenyong and others applauded first (WeChat picture).
"Hello, old company commander, warm welcome!"
At 10:00, the old company commander was pulled into the group, and then the comrades he saw again sent another message Many pictures of welcoming the old company commander (welcome, applause)
The innermost thoughts of the comrades were also revealed one after another. Sun Zhiguo left a message: Hello, old company commander.
How can we go against what everyone expects?
I haven’t seen you for a long time, but I must return to my place now.
Song Xiufeng: Welcome to the old company commander!
As Comrade Zhiguo said, everyone is waiting for you!
Comrades such as Zhang Xiying, Liu Weimin, Dong Huaizhong, Zhao Zhengqi, Yang Qingjun, Chen Shu, Zhen Yanjun, Chen Baowen and others sent pictures or left messages to welcome the old company commander.
Seeing everyone's welcome and greetings, the old company commander also left a message to everyone:
"Hello everyone! Thank you! I miss you very much and welcome you to Zhangjiakou City. I I will do my best to serve as a host. I will play with you and catch up on old times. I really miss you!"
Then, the old instructor also sent two pictures of "Handshake, hello!" from Chongqing.
Dong Huaizhong asked the old company commander to speak by voice. Wanting to hear the voice of the old company commander, he introduced himself as Dong Huaizhong, a soldier of the third platoon.
The old company commander also replied to Dong Huaizhong by voice, and remembered saying, "You are a big man, kind and honest, and impressive."
Next, comrades Gao Haitao, Wang Yijing, and Wang Dongrui continued to say hello to the old company commander.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Qiuping sent a limerick:
Opened his mobile phone to check WeChat,
I learned that the company commander had returned to the team;
Hope The company commander has been here for a long time.
The provincial capital has prepared wine to cleanse the dust.
? Your soldier Cao Qiuping.
At noon, there were messages and greetings from comrades such as Ai Xingxiang, Yang Jinping, Shi Fujin, Yan Shenghui, Wang Yunsheng, Shi Shenglin, and Yang Wenhua.
Ai Xingxiang: Welcome to the group, old company commander. I miss you very much. We will get together when we have the opportunity.
Li Fucai: Hello, old company commander: Our Handan comrades welcome you to Handan as a guest.
Shi Fujin: Company Commander Shi Fujin misses you very much. Thinking of your care and concern, Shi Fujin is particularly grateful.
Wang Yunsheng: Hello, company commander, welcome to the group! It's great to hear your voice. I haven't seen you for many years and I just look forward to seeing you again.
@闫胜会: Hello, company commander! Miss you very much!
Li Yulin: Hello, company commander, I am Li Yulin from Class 8. I heard your familiar voice again. Company commander misses you very much!
Shi Shenglin: Hello, company commander! I am Shi Shenglin from Class 8. I am very excited to hear your voice after forty years. I miss you very much. I will be a guest in Yibin, Sichuan when I have time. I look forward to your arrival and wish you and your family a happy new year! [Handshake][Strong]
Zhi Baozhong: Warmly welcome the company commander back to the team. Hearing your voice is like hearing the familiar phrase "What a ball game" 40 years ago. It reminds me of just now. I miss every bit of the time when we formed the company...
Yang Wenhua: Old company commander: I feel very familiar and excited to hear your voice. The epidemic prevention and control in Hebei is now tight. I look forward to it. We meet again after forty years. I hope the old company commander will take care of himself and his family. Your soldiers: (Third Platoon and Eighth Squad) Yang Wenhua.
Copying and sorting out the messages from my comrades made me feel warm inside. I think the old company commander would also feel the same way. Today, those who showed up in the group to welcome the old company commander were basically company cadres and veterans who joined the army in 1978, 1979, and 1980. They are more familiar with the old company commander, and most of them have served as colleagues in the company for 3-5 years. The experience of work and life has established a deep friendship as comrades-in-arms. It is really commendable that we can still be so close to each other forty years later.
We look forward to the old company commander continuing to maintain friendship with his comrades in the group, and looking forward to seeing him again at the right time and place.
