It was no different from a regular field training exercise.

"beep--"

However, a high-speed train approaching from afar sounded its horn.

The jokes and banter among everyone stopped abruptly, and a sudden tension gripped their hearts.

"Passengers, the Tanpei bullet train No. 2333, departing from Kyoto South, is about to arrive at the station..."

Immediately afterwards, the message that the train was about to arrive at the station came from the loudspeakers on the drop-off platform.

As the train drew ever closer, the soldiers' hearts seemed to race.

It was as if they hoped that the joy and laughter of this moment could linger a little longer, much longer.

Finally, as the train slowly came to a stop, the carriage doors opened.

The veterans, about to embark on their journey home, could no longer suppress the reluctance and sadness in their hearts.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, which had been beaming with a bright smile.

"Old squad leader, I can't bear to part with you!"

"Let's hug one more time, brother. You must do well in the army from now on!"

"Remember to write when you get home!"

"I really don't want to leave the army and my brothers, sob sob sob~"

Even the toughest men on the training ground and battlefield turned into vulnerable boys at this moment, hugging each other and weeping.

This scene also moved the passengers and railway staff nearby.

Many people also quietly wiped away their tears alongside these veterans who were weeping and reluctant to say goodbye.

They seemed to have noticed this touching scene in the stands.

Suddenly, amidst the previously silent horn blare, the melody of a song burst forth.

"Friends for life"

Those days are gone.

"One sentence for a lifetime"

"A lifetime of love, a cup of wine..."

The sudden burst of singing perfectly matched the scene of veterans bidding farewell in the stands.

Hearing this kind of singing.

The soldiers who were parting ways hugged each other even tighter.

At this moment, the words of the veterans seem to echo in my ears:

"You'll regret joining the army for two years, but you'll regret not joining for a lifetime!"

"Deep camaraderie, never abandoning or giving up!"

Former comrades-in-arms will now become lifelong friends who would risk their lives for each other.

In the future, I will never give up!

"beep--"

With another long train whistle, the high-speed train slowly started moving again after stopping.

Goodbye, old squad leader!

"You must visit my hometown when you have time! I'll be waiting to drink with you!"

"Good brothers, for life!"

"Train hard, don't embarrass our unit! Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"

The veterans, already on the train, waved wildly through the windows to their comrades on the platform, bidding them farewell with tears in their eyes.

"salute!"

Immediately, at the squad leader's command, the soldiers on the platform stood tall and raised their hands in salute to the veterans in the carriage.

"Friends are never alone."

"A single word, 'friend,' and you'll understand."

"There are still wounds and pain."

"If you still need to go, I'll be there for you..."

At the same time, the singing coming from the stands sounded like a farewell song, as the soldiers saluted and the high-speed train slowly drove away.

Gradually, the familiar figures of my comrades in military uniforms on the platform became blurred through my tears.

Hearing the singing drifting in from outside the window, the veterans on the bus, adorned with red sashes and flowers, couldn't help but sob and weep again.

This scene was also captured on camera by passersby inside and outside the train carriage who were holding up their phones.
