Chapter 16: New unit, it's rare to see such sensible recruits
The bus was shuttling through the streets of the county town. Chen Mo was sitting right next to the window. He was holding a backpack in his arms and leaning back on the chair.
Place your carry-on bag at your feet.
I turned my head and looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, but I didn't feel much excitement or anticipation.
I looked outside and saw that the sun was setting. I thought that my mother at home might not have adapted to my absence yet, and I wondered if my sister would miss me.
Chen Mo sighed secretly, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the change in his pocket.
I guess my sister should have taken out the money by now, right?
There is also the wooden bar he hid on Shuiquanling for running exercises. He had mentioned it to his father when he came to the county town, and his father should have brought it back.
Chen Mo's mind was always on his home, and he didn't notice that the bus had been driving for about twenty minutes.
Already arrived at Fu County Railway Station.
Wang Mingming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately stood up and shouted, "Everyone, pack your bags and get out of the car."
"Please check your carry-on luggage. After getting off the bus, obey the instructions of the comrades who are receiving you. Do what you are told to do and don't run around."
Accompanied by Director Wang's roars, all the twenty or so recruits in the carriage got off and stood in the square in front of the train station entrance.
Originally everyone thought that Wang Mingming would continue to lead the team, but unexpectedly, he just got off the bus and checked the number of people with the list.
He handed the list in his hand to the veteran who came from the army, without even saying hello, and turned around and got on the bus.
Turn around and leave.
This scene made the confused recruits panic.
No matter what, Wang Mingming is considered one of us, but none of the cadres who came to recruit the soldiers are familiar faces.
"Why did he leave?"
Chen Mo and a new recruit in front of him stared at the bus going away, their voices trembling unconsciously.
"What are you arguing about? Form two columns and follow us."
A corporal with two yellow bars painted on his shoulders, one thick and one thin, shouted angrily.
The new recruits on the scene shrank their necks in fear. Chen Mo, who was standing by, shook his head and whispered to the new recruit who had just asked the question: "Follow me, let's go."
With Chen Mo taking the lead, the new recruits around him seemed to have found their backbone.
Pick up the luggage and follow Chen Mo.
Led by the company commander Cheng Dong, the group entered the station one after another and boarded a green train bound for an unknown destination.
"People coming from Fu County and Lu County should sit in this car. Don't run around. If anyone needs to go to the restroom, there is a squad leader on duty at the train interface. Remember to report it."
The comrade in charge of receiving the recruits shouted a few times and then scattered the new recruits in the carriages and left them there. However, there were old soldiers sitting at the interface of each carriage to keep watch.
Prevent these new recruits from running around randomly.
This was not Chen Mo's first time traveling far away, so he skillfully put his backpack on top of the seat.
Just as he was about to occupy two seats for himself so that he could rest at night, the new recruit he had been taking care of outside came running over with his luggage.
"Hey, brother, brother, wait for me, I'll sit here too, next to you."
Without waiting for Chen Mo's response.
The guy stuffed his luggage in there, then rubbed his hands on his pants, stretched out his hand to face Chen Mo and said, "Brother, my name is Li Hao, from Luzhai."
"Chen Mo, from Lion Bridge."
Chen Mo smiled and shook hands with the other person: "By the way, soldiers are not allowed to call each other "brother". Just call me by my name."
"middle."
Li Hao was quite easy to talk to and agreed on the spot.
In fact, the old soldiers in the army don’t care what the new recruits call each other. As long as you don’t go too far, they will basically turn a blind eye.
But I just joined the army.
But Chen Mo did not forget that he was targeted by the old man in the People's Armed Forces Department. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, it is better to be honest.
But many times, even if you want to be honest, others may not be willing to do so.
Chen Mo had just settled into his seat when the veteran recruit, Zhou Yongjie, came over from a distance.
"Chen Mo."
"arrive!!"
Hearing someone calling him, Chen Mo immediately stood up and responded in a loud voice.
It didn't matter that he shouted, the new recruits around him stretched their heads like giraffes and looked over here intently.
Even Zhou Yongjie was stunned. It was rare to see such a sensible recruit.
Glancing at Chen Mo, Zhou Yongjie nodded: "Come here."
"yes."
Chen Mo stood up and followed Lao Paozi's footsteps and walked straight to the connection between the carriages.
There were seven or eight old soldiers gathered here smoking. When they saw Lao Paozi, they all stood up.
Some people call him Platoon Leader Zhou, some call him Old Squad Leader, it's a variety of names.
It is not difficult to see that Lao Paozi has a high prestige among these veterans.
"Platoon leader, is this the scholar our company commander was talking about?"
"She doesn't look pretty at all. Her face looks darker than mine."
"It's definitely not delicate. This body looks stronger than mine."
Several veterans looked at Chen Mo curiously. It felt like they were going to the street to pick out goods, except that they had to touch the materials.
Another veteran took out a pack of white-boxed "Da Guang" cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Chen Mo.
Before Chen Mo could even reach out to take it, Lao Paozi snatched the cigarettes and the box, stuffed them into his pocket, and then grinned and cursed: "Damn it, don't teach my soldiers bad things."
"Let me know when we get back. I want this person."
"Hey, Chen Mo, go back."
After declaring sovereignty, Lao Paozi sent Chen Mo back to his seat, and the other veterans could only watch without saying a word.
In fact, there is no need to say hello specifically about this matter. In order to recruit soldiers, the company commander of the reconnaissance company came, including the only veteran in the company.
Just for this so-called scholar.
The person must be taken away by the reconnaissance company.
After walking around and returning to his seat, Chen Mo sat down under the curious gaze of many new recruits, intending to have a good rest.
As for being noticed by an old gun guy, there is nothing I can do about it.
What to do next? We’ll have to wait and see when we get to the army.
Apart from this episode, nothing special happened afterwards.
"Woo woo...clang clang..."
The green train kept running on the track.
Fucheng is very close to Jin Province, and the journey is only three or four hundred kilometers at most. According to normal driving conditions, it should take about five hours to arrive.
But the green train has very little right of way on the railway, and the train carrying recruits has even less right of way.
We had to give way to other trains from time to time in the middle of the night, and we had to stop at other places to pick up new recruits. We were supposed to leave at four or five in the afternoon, so we should have arrived at our destination before ten in the evening.
The train drove for more than ten hours, and only at dawn did the old soldier's urging voice come from the carriage.
"Everyone get ready. We'll get off in half an hour. Remember to take your luggage with you."
"Don't sleep anymore, get up!!"
Awakened by the noisy sound, Chen Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes, stood up and subconsciously turned his head to look out the window.
When I saw the railway station sign in the distance with the words "Hedong" faintly written on it.
Chen Mo was stunned. Why was he assigned here?
He had been in the 63rd Army for a long time, so he knew exactly which troops were stationed in Hedong, Shanxi Province.
It seems that after rebirth, he joined the army again, even if the place of registration and the starting point were the same.
But the end point has changed.
In his previous life, the 82nd Motorized Infantry Brigade he served in was stationed in Pingcheng, Shanxi Province.
However, Hedong is the territory of the 7th Tank Division.
Both the 82nd Motorized Infantry Brigade and the 7th Tank Division were established in September 1998 after the 28th Army under the Kyoto Military Region was disbanded.
Assigned to the unit of the 63rd Army.
The 28th Army only assigned two units, and it just so happened that I caught up with both of them?
Chen Mo stared outside in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
