Chapter 6 The King of Soldiers!
"Well done, Shui!"
After the three of them moved away from Li Zhiyuan, Xu Ge praised Li Dongshui.
"Xu Ge, wasn't it a bit inappropriate for you to speak directly to the Third Platoon Leader like that just now?" Li Dongshui asked. "He seems to hold a grudge!"
"He'll be assigned to a company tomorrow. Give him face and call him platoon leader. If you don't, I won't even bother with him! Wasn't the first rectification caused by this guy? I hold a grudge even more than he does!"
Xu Ge looked indifferent and continued, "But it's strange, why did he come to poach me?"
"Because you ranked first among the recruits in the physical fitness test." Kai Youmu and Li Dongshui said in unison.
"What? I am the best in the camp in terms of physical fitness?" Xu Ge was quite surprised.
"you do not know?"
"have no idea!"
Kaiyoumu explained, "This training camp will be recorded in the tactical and physical fitness assessment results. You will be the first to enter the safe zone, Ah Shui will be the second, and my physical fitness is zero."
Xu Ge suddenly realized: "So, Li Dongshui, you took away my first place in tactics?"
Li Dongshui: "There were only three of us who arrived first, and you two were fighting. I thought we couldn't be wiped out, so I crawled over and fired a few shots."
"Why, do you regret it?" Kai Youmu asked with a smile.
Xu Ge shook his head: "I definitely don't regret it. If something like this happens again, I will fight them again. But that guy called Wang Long is really good at fighting!"
Kaiyumu: "Yeah! I can't beat him either..."
The three of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the wall. Tricycles loaded with goods were lined up in a row, and the recruits were rushing to buy them.
"These people are really well-informed. They know we're going to go shopping tonight, and even heavy snow and blocked mountains can't stop them!" Xu Ge said with emotion.
Li Dongshui pointed at the tyrant at the edge and said, "Uncle Wang is here. Let's go buy it from him!"
Xu Ge hesitated and stood there, not wanting to move. Kai Youmu pulled him and said, "Come on, why are you standing there?"
Xu Ge felt a little guilty: "I don't have anything to buy, why don't I just wait here for you two..."
"Hey, Xu Ge, you are here. I have saved some good things for you!" Unexpectedly, Lao Wang took the initiative to say hello and waved to Xu Ge.
Xu Ge knew he couldn't escape, so he came over anyway, but he didn't dare look at Lao Wang.
"What good stuff is this, Uncle Wang?" Li Dongshui didn't notice Xu Ge's abnormality and asked curiously.
Lao Wang pointed into the trunk and said, "Two boxes of Sun City beer. How about that? You haven't tried it, have you?"
Kaiyoumu's eyes lit up. "I've tried it before. I tried it once when I went to the snowy area for training two years ago. It tasted delicious!"
"You know what you're talking about! Hahaha, do you want some?"
"want!"
After Lao Wang handed over the beer, he began to help Kai Youmu and Li Dongshui pack the things they needed. When he was done, he looked at Xu Ge and smiled, "Xu Ge, why aren't you talking today? Are you mute again because of the stimulation?"
“No…no!”
"I heard that you bit the leg of a Tianlang soldier during the training today?" Lao Wang smiled.
Xu Ge said nothing, thinking that what was supposed to come had finally come.
"Uncle Wang, it was the Tianlang people who bullied us first. Besides, he even knocked Xu Ge unconscious!"
Li Dongshui quickly recounted what happened in the afternoon.
"Wow, there are so many stories here?" Old Wang looked at Xu Ge.
Xu Ge: "Uncle Wang, what Li Dongshui said is true."
Lao Wang nodded and stopped talking about this topic. Seeing the three of them preparing to leave, he leaned against the car and asked, "You'll be assigned to the company tomorrow. With your performance, are there any other units trying to recruit you?"
"Yes, but we must all follow the platoon leader and squad leader. I think everyone is fine." Li Dongshui replied.
"Xu Ge, what about you?"
"Me too!"
. . .
. . .
After buying the things, Du Hu was surprised to see Sun City beer, and quickly invited Luo Shan over.
"cheers!"
At Luo Shan's command, everyone, whether they could drink or not, clinked their glasses with their wine.
They are about to be assigned to other companies, and Du Hu is also going to the military dog squad, so this is also a farewell for the new recruits.
Those recruits with shallow eye sockets even shed tears under the stimulation of alcohol.
Li Dongshui held the little Si dog tightly and refused to let go, insisting on fighting with it, which scared the little Si dog so much that it cried out.
Du Hu was also confused by these guys: "Look at your lack of ambition. I was transferred, not dead. What are you crying about, man?!"
"If this is the case when you join the company, what will it be like when you retire? Come, have fun eating and drinking!"
At this time, Luo Shan and Du Hu rarely showed the authority of their superiors and chatted with the recruits.
"Two years went by very quickly."
Du Hu sighed, "Ultra training, stationed training, winter training, exercises, each of these takes at least a month, let alone two years, five years have passed in the blink of an eye!"
Luo Shan also became interested. He clinked his cans with a few new recruits, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Do you know who is the most trustworthy person in the army?"
The recruits shook their heads.
"They're fellow soldiers!" Luo Shan pointed at everyone, "especially comrades like you from the new recruit company!"
"Why is our old company's squad leader Guo so awesome? It's because his comrades and squad leaders in the new recruit company are so awesome!"
"After you leave the company tomorrow, no matter whether you are assigned to the same squad or platoon, you will definitely never forget your classmates who have been fighting together for several months in the recruit company!"
"right!"
"Come on, cheers!"
"cheers!"
"Zhou Meng, stop eating, let's have a drink!"
"Ah Shui, I'm sorry. I was the one who made your bed sheets dirty last time."
"Xu Ge, I actually coordinated your physical fitness suit..."
The dinner lasted until before washing up. A few recruits were drunk and wanted to lie down directly, but Du Hu asked everyone to prepare their uniforms in advance and wear them early the next morning.
Xu Ge hung his casual clothes on the head of the bed, sorted his luggage in advance, and then lay down directly.
Li Dongshui was a little dizzy from drinking. He lay on the bedside and kept mumbling, trying to find Xu Ge to chat. Xu Ge was annoyed and clicked on his phone: "Don't bother me, I want to sleep. Didn't you see that I didn't reply to Doctor Lin's message?"
Li Dongshui finally calmed down and fell asleep soon after.
The little Si dog seemed to sense something and lay quietly beside Xu Ge's head, humming. Xu Ge reached out and scratched its belly for a while, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, the recruits did not do drill, but packed their backpacks in the classroom.
After breakfast, Luo Shan and Du Hu started answering phone calls non-stop. Xu Ge listened to them and it seemed to be about dividing the troops.
Starting from eight o'clock, various military vehicles came in one after another to pick up a few new recruits. The transfer orders had been arranged in advance.
At half past nine, a huge convoy appeared, and the recruits all knew that it was the car for the next company that had arrived.
Beep beep beep!
The whistle sounded and Liu Guoping shouted outside for the whole company to assemble.
The recruits, wearing regular uniforms, carrying backpacks and luggage, came out of their dormitories and lined up on the playground.
Luo Shan held up a sign that read 'Wolf Brigade, First Regiment, Second Battalion, Sixth Company' and shouted, "Sixth Company, gather here and get on the bus!"
Xu Ge followed the crowd and took a look around. He found that most of them were from the first row, and a few were from the second row.
"Woo-woof! Woo-woof!"
When the little Si dog saw his friends walking away, he became anxious and rushed over, weaving in and out of the crowd, sometimes biting one person's trouser leg, sometimes jumping onto another person's backpack.
Du Hu was worried and waited until everyone in Class 1 was seated in the car. He also gave instructions to Kai Youmu for a long time before reaching out to pull the little Si dog that was scratching Xu Ge's thigh away. He waved to everyone and turned to leave.
"Woo-woof! Woo-woof!"
“Oh my!”
. . .
. . .
Beep beep!
When the convoy passed the Kangxiwar Martyrs Cemetery, everyone honked their horns.
The new recruits also saluted at the squad leader's reminder.
What surprised Xu Ge was that at noon the convoy actually drove into the military station at Sanshili Barracks to have lunch. It seemed that it was still quite a distance to the old company.
Just as the meal was served, a female sergeant of the third grade came over with a box of fruit. She went straight to Liu Guoping and asked, "Hello, Company Commander. May I ask who is Xu Ge?"
The dining area immediately became quiet.
Xu Ge stood up with a puzzled look on his face: "I am. Who are you, squad leader?"
The female officer came over, looked Xu Ge up and down carefully, and handed him the fruit with a smile: "This is for you, Doctor Lin."
"Oh wow~"
There was an immediate commotion all around.
Xu Ge quickly took it and thanked him: "Thank you, squad leader. Where is Doctor Lin?"
"She went back to Yecheng to report on her work." The female officer smiled at Xu Ge again, waved her hand and left.
"Bring it here!"
Before Xu Ge could react, the fruit in his hand was snatched away by Kai Youmu. As soon as he opened the box, Li Dongshui viciously thrust a fork in, strung a large bunch of cantaloupe and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next moment, seven or eight forks stabbed at him at the same time, frightening Xu Ge so much that he quickly retracted his hand: "Why don't you leave me a piece!"
After lunch, the convoy continued on its journey.
After eating, the recruits leaned against the truck bed and dozed off. When they were awakened by a violent jolt, the scene outside the truck had changed drastically.
"What the hell, what are we doing here?"
Xu Ge looked around and saw that everything around him was desolate. Not to mention people and buildings, there was only snow and gravel, without even a blade of grass.
The convoy had gotten off the national highway at some point and was speeding along a dirt road.
"We are taking a shortcut now and will soon see the barracks." Kai Youmu naturally knew this place well and said lightly.
Sure enough, half an hour later, a military restricted area sign appeared on the roadside and the road conditions improved.
After the convoy turned back onto a cement road, they began to see speeding armored vehicles and running teams on both sides.
Didi!
Amid the horn, Xu Ge's car passed a sentry post where men were standing guard with guns. Barracks appeared on both sides of the road, and people could be seen walking around in each yard.
Kai Youmu patted Xu Ge's shoulder and said, "Do you know the difference between veterans and new recruits?"
"What is it?" All the recruits looked over.
Kaiyoumu: "The difference is that veterans always know what they are going to do."
"Everyone cheer up, we'll be there soon!"
Following Luo Shan's shout, the car turned two corners in a row and entered a yard.
Didi!
Dongdongqiang! Dongdongqiang! Dongqiangdongqiangdongdongqiang!
The enthusiastic sound of gongs and drums rang out, and a group of corporals and non-commissioned officers rushed over.
"My dear platoon leader, why have you lost weight?"
"Deputy Lieutenant, I miss you so much, let's play with you tonight!"
"What are you yelling about? What Women's Federation? Call the company commander now!"
"Fuck! Kaiyoumu! Hey, look, is this bitch Kaiyoumu?"
New recruits: ???
Is this the old company? It doesn't seem so scary, does it?
Beep beep beep!
"gather!"
Liu Guoping shouted, and all the veterans immediately lined up. The new recruits also jumped off the car and stood on the other side with their luggage.
The veterans looked at the new recruits, and the new recruits also looked at the veterans timidly.
"Divide the troops first. New recruits whose names are called will follow their squad leaders!"
A captain wearing glasses came over and said, "Captain, should we settle all the new recruits first and then have a general meeting?"
The new recruits heard on the way that this person should be Jiang Da, the instructor of the Sixth Company.
Liu Guoping nodded and began to read out the names.
"Squad Leader!"
"arrive!"
A second-term sergeant in the first row immediately raised his hand.
"Zhang Haoyu, Zhou Meng, Ding Xiaohao, Feng Wei, the four of you go to Class 1!"
"yes!"
Immediately, a group of veterans came over to help with the luggage, and the four new recruits were then led into the dormitory building.
"Second squad leader!"
"arrive!"
. . .
As the new recruits were taken away one by one, there were fewer and fewer new recruits standing on the playground.
Xu Ge gradually felt something was wrong. Why hadn't he been separated yet?
After the squad leader of the eighth squad and his men left, only a few cadres, a first-term non-commissioned officer, and Xu Ge, Li Dongshui, and Kai Youmu were left on the playground.
Instructor Jiang Da looked at Luo Shan and said, "Third Platoon Leader, you will take care of these three soldiers."
Luo Shan: “Yes!”
"Fuck! Are we going to Class 9?!" Kai Youmu suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were both confused. What happened to Class 9?
"Niu Sanxian!"
"arrive!"
"come over!"
"yes!"
Finally, the sergeant ran up to Luo Shan and said with a grin, "Hello, Platoon Leader!"
"Is it your turn to be the monitor of Class 9 this week?" Luo Shan asked.
Niu Sanxian looked frustrated: "I can't help it, Platoon Leader. I had diarrhea during last week's competition and was in a bad state. I finished last..."
Xu Ge became more and more confused as he listened.
So the position of squad leader is fluid? It sounds like whoever loses gets to take over, and everyone's unhappy about it?
"These three new recruits have been assigned to Class 9. You can lead them up." Luo Shan said.
Niu Sanxian immediately became embarrassed: "Platoon leader, you know the situation of our squad. The deputy squad leader doesn't take new recruits."
"Then go call Squad Leader Guo down and I'll talk to him!"
"yes!"
Niu San ran away first.
Kai Youmu put his luggage on the ground and looked at Luo Shan in surprise: "Platoon Leader, why did you assign the three of us to the ninth squad? What if the old squad leader gets angry?"
"What are you afraid of? If you get mad, I'll take the blame!"
Luo Shan looked at Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, "Put your luggage on the ground and take a rest."
"yes!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately put down their things and shook their numb arms.
Seeing Luo Shan and Kai Youmu whispering to each other, Xu Ge looked around at the surrounding environment.
This is a fairly large courtyard. It looks like there are three or four courtyards next to each other, separated by low walls.
There was also someone shouting commands loudly in the yard next door. Judging from the sound, it should be the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion.
Right in front of Xu Ge stood a row of bulletin boards with photos on them. The middle one had the Chinese characters "Wind and Cloud List" written on it. The first photo was of a chubby non-commissioned officer... No, a second-class sergeant major!
Next to the photo is a line of description:
Guo Yuanshuai won first place in the brigade all-around competition for seven consecutive years from 2005 to 2011.
Hiss!!!
Number one in the brigade for seven consecutive years! This is truly a soldier king!
Xu Ge looked at this line of introduction and immediately knew that this Guo Yuanshuai should be the old squad leader mentioned by Du Hu and Luo Shan. He didn't expect that he was such a powerful person!
Thump thump thump!
Footsteps were heard, and a slightly plump sergeant with densely packed crutches on his shoulders came quickly over.
"What the hell do you want me to do?" the man asked Luo Shan.
Luo Shan quickly took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Old squad leader, have a cigarette!"
Guo Yuanshuai stretched out his hand to block the hand that Luo Shan was handing over the cigarette, and then very naturally took the whole box of cigarettes from the other hand.
"What's going on with these three new recruits? I heard Xiao Niu say they're going to be assigned to our class?"
"Old squad leader, come, let me light a fire for you first..."
Guo Yuanshuai glared at Luo Shan and interrupted him, "You're talking to me like a gardenia or a jasmine! What's going on with these three new recruits?"
