Chapter 138: One thing leads to another, just endure it
The trophy was taken away before it even warmed up in his hands, but Chen Mo felt that this incident didn't seem to have much of an impact.
After the queue is disbanded.
Many veterans were laughing and going back to the dormitory when it was time to go back to the dormitory, and going to the cafeteria when it was time to go to the cafeteria.
It seems like few people care.
It just so happens that today is Sunday, and the company has not notified us of any additional training tasks.
Plus, I just came back from a competition, so it can be considered a half-day off.
The queue is disbanded.
Chen Mo and Liang Hongjie teamed up and walked towards the cafeteria.
Originally, Chen Mo was not hungry. He only had a bowl of knife-cut noodles with the company commander near noon, but he was not about to take over the clerical work.
If you are really busy, you can't go without food.
Walk into the cafeteria.
The company's table was at the innermost side, but Chen Mo's eyes were always looking towards the position of Class 1.
He heard from Platoon Leader Liang that morning that Lao Pao's vacation was over and he had returned to the company. He hadn't seen him during the assembly just now.
Since joining the company, Lao Pao has taken annual leave and has not seen his squad leader when he was a recruit for almost a month.
Lao Pao had been very nice to me before, and now I suddenly knew he was back.
Chen Mo was quite excited.
He glanced around the cafeteria.
When he saw a tall, thin figure sitting against the wall next to the first squad, Chen Mo's face lit up with joy. He reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Platoon leader, let's go to the first squad first."
"You go ahead, I won't go."
When Liang Hongjie heard this, his expression showed obvious resistance.
In the army, many companies have their first squads that belong to the spearhead squad. Whether in terms of personnel configuration or strategic position, they are far superior to other squads. When necessary, the company commander or instructor will directly command the battle.
It's pretty much the same here.
Although Chen Mo has never seen how special Class 1 is, their staffing is not bad.
The class is composed of twelve people, but it is not full, with only nine people. In addition to Lao Pao, a fifth-level non-commissioned officer, there are five third-level non-commissioned officers, and the remaining three are second-level non-commissioned officers.
Liu Dong, who carries the flag in the arena, and the fierce Hu Hai, are from the same group.
There are three more people in Class 1 who are the same as them.
Almost all the third-level non-commissioned officers of the reconnaissance company are concentrated in the first three squads, with the first squad being the most concentrated. It is a complete concentration camp for old guns.
Liang Hongjie only takes this kind of class when work requires it.
Normally he was reluctant to approach them, not because he was difficult to get along with, but because he really had no common topics to talk about when sitting with such veterans.
It's both awkward and awkward, and really unnecessary.
"Then Platoon Leader, I'll go say hello to the squad leader. You can go eat first."
"become."
Liang Hongjie nodded and watched Chen Mo run straight towards the position of Class 1.
“Squad Leader!!”
Chen Mo shouted first before he even reached the dining table.
"Oh! Distinguished guest!"
Hu Hai, who was sitting on the edge, heard the noise and turned around to see that it was the scholar coming over.
Hu Hai stood up with a smile and walked to the dining table next to him, brought over a stool and put it inside.
Lao Pao naturally heard the sound as well. He stood up and looked at the new recruits he had brought out with a smile.
Even strictly speaking, Chen Mo is considered a veteran and is not unfamiliar with life in the army.
But after all, after many years, the first squad leader he came into contact with when he returned to the military camp was the squad leader who took great care of him. This kind of feeling cannot be easily diluted by time.
Lao Pao raised his hand and patted Chen Mo's shoulder, then pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Sit down, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
"yes!"
Chen Mo sat down with a happy face.
On the first squad's side, an old soldier quickly stood up, ran to the kitchen, and took a new set of bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table.
It feels so good to have the squad leader around.
In fact, in the recruit company, as long as you don’t meet the really bad type, as long as they are responsible veterans.
It will be unforgettable for many people.
Due to the special nature of new recruits, the squad leader will provide guidance step by step for all their growth, and will be very tolerant even if they make mistakes.
After Chen Mo was assigned to the company, he did not have a new squad leader and lived in the public service class with only two roommates.
One can imagine how happy he was to see Lao Pao again.
It feels very familiar.
"Sergeant, is everyone at home okay?" Chen Mo asked casually after thanking the veteran who helped with the tableware.
"Yeah, that's good."
Lao Pao nodded and said, "I heard about your experience after joining the company. It's right to work hard and find your own direction."
It's been a month since we last met.
Lao Pao didn't talk about any profound principles, he just asked or chatted about some trivial matters in the company.
The lunch was quite harmonious. The two of them, one big and one small, talked about training, life, life in the barracks and future development.
It’s nothing particularly important, but it’s some of the veterans’ fragmented experiences in the army.
For Chen Mo, these experiences did not bring any substantial help, but rather some spiritual comfort.
After lunch.
Chen Mo followed Lao Pao to the third shift again to check on the situation of Yang Dali and Li Zhiang.
These two brothers have been in the company for a long time, and they no longer have that curious look they had when they first joined the company. They have become much calmer.
Lao Pao's hometown is Xiangtan County. When he came back this time, he specially brought the local specialty chestnuts, as well as some baked cakes that look like biscuits. It is said that they were tributes in the past.
Thanks to the old squad leader.
After a few people reminisced about the past.
Chen Mo also got a lot of snacks.
He said goodbye to Lao Pao and was about to go back to the dormitory for a nap, holding a cloth bag filled with chestnuts and baked cakes.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as I arrived at the company entrance, I ran into Cheng Dong, who was looking unhappy, striding out of the company.
It's been so long since I came to the reconnaissance company.
Chen Mo had some understanding of the company commander's personality. That guy was so concerned about his reputation that he had just had his trophy stolen by the brigade.
Now the whole company is avoiding him.
Chen Mo was no exception. He ran into the company commander who was in a bad mood.
He immediately stood up against the wall holding the thing in his hand, raised his hand to salute, and said nothing.
But what Chen Mo didn't expect was that the company commander walked past him and even raised his hand to return the salute.
I don’t know what’s going on.
He suddenly stopped and turned his head, first looking at Chen Mo, then staring at the cloth bag in his hand, grinning and said: "Hey, you kid, why are you running around instead of sleeping in the dormitory during lunch break?"
"Report, the squad leader is back, I'll go and take a look." Chen Mo responded truthfully.
"Well, Lao Pao is indeed back."
Hearing this, Cheng Dong nodded, then walked up to Chen Mo and opened the cloth bag.
He didn't care about the company commander's authority at all and grabbed a handful of chestnuts and stuffed them into his pocket.
Then he pinched two more pieces of cake and looked at his watch while chewing. "Do you have a whistle?"
"No!!"
"Go to the duty room and get it. Give it to me and I'll help you look after it first."
Cheng Dong reached out to take it, but Chen Mo seized the opportunity and ran away.
What a joke.
Lao Pao finally brought some local specialties, but if they were handed over to Cheng Dong, what would be the difference between that and throwing meat buns at a dog?
Chen Mo ran all the way back to the clerical office. Liang Hongjie must have gone back to the dormitory to sleep and was not there.
After he hid the cloth bag in the cabinet, he picked up the whistle from the drawer before leaving.
The whistle was not his, but something that belonged to Liang. As the platoon leader, he also had to take turns on duty in the company.
However, I hardly ever saw him use it.
Arrived at the company entrance again.
Finding that Cheng Dong had already walked to the bottom of the combat squad dormitory, Chen Mo put the whistle in his mouth and blew it with all his strength.
“Beep-beep!!”
The sound of one long and two short whistles soon resounded throughout the camp.
I haven't been on duty for many years, and it really feels good to blow the whistle during lunch break.
"Who's talking nonsense?"
At the door of the second shift dormitory, the veteran who was on duty that day rushed out of the dormitory in a panic.
The other person was tying his belt while cursing loudly outside.
After all, according to normal regulations, if there is anything to be notified in the company, the signalman usually has to call the duty student, and the duty student of the day is also the one who knows the situation of each class best.
Be able to report the situation of each class to the company commander in the shortest time possible.
But just as he finished yelling, he looked up and saw Cheng Dong standing not far away with a gloomy face.
The officer on duty shuddered and quickly put the whistle into his mouth: "Beep-beep, assemble!!"
Perhaps because he knew the company commander's temper, he was much more sensible than Chen Mo. After blowing the whistle, he continued to shout: "All classes, assemble for the company meeting, hurry up."
"Wear hats, fasten belts, and assemble lightly."
Accompanied by continuous whistles and roars.
From the dormitory of the reconnaissance company's combat squad, neatly dressed soldiers rushed out one after another.
It only took the entire company one minute to assemble.
Chen Mo also stood in the queue.
Maybe it’s just like Liang Hongjie said before, don’t mess with the company commander in the last month.
This time, not only was the speed of the formation much faster, but the momentum was also very strong.
Each of them held their heads high and chests puffed out, like javelins thrust into the ground, so majestic.
Cheng Dong walked around the front of the queue twice with his hands behind his back, maybe he didn't find any problems.
Then he turned back to his speaking position and said in a loud voice: "Let me talk about it. There are mainly three things."
"First, it's almost the end of the month. Each class should quickly compile a record of all uniform changes. If you have any questions, please ask Old Zhou. We need to hurry up."
"Secondly, the entire company will have to take the assessment at the end of the month. The brigade headquarters' training department will send someone to supervise, especially the new comrades in each class, as they have been training for so long."
"I see that most of the comrades have good grades. If they can keep up with the class training, they should catch up as soon as possible. I only care about the final results."
"I just got back from a competition and went to the equipment depot to check. The assessment is coming up soon, and you didn't even clean your gun or do some maintenance? Huh?! Do you need me to keep reminding you about this trivial matter?"
"Also, we received a call from headquarters. Some officers from the Propaganda Department will be coming down this afternoon to cover the competition."
"I don't care who comes. All you have to do is cheer me up and show the spirit that our reconnaissance company should have."
"If any of you bastards embarrass me, don't blame me for having a talk with you."
"Is everything clear?"
"yes!!"
The response was uniform and the movement was quite positive.
How can I not be positive?
Anyone can see that the company commander has been blackmailed and is in a bad mood. He might get into trouble again at the headquarters.
I'm so angry.
There was no possibility of a lunch break. After the queue was disbanded, each class immediately led a team to collect the guns and began maintenance.
The company's overall atmosphere has a lot to do with the company commander's temperament, but similarly, whether the company's life is good or not also has a lot to do with the company commander's mood.
I just came back from the competition and I have to enter the intense preparation period again.
Chen Mo smacked his lips and followed Liang Hongjie. The two of them quickly returned to the clerical office to start working.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The longer you stay in the army, the more pressure you will face. If you think about it, this is growth.
If you can't get over it, it will be torture.
Anyway, no matter what, you can guess just by thinking about it that the whole company will probably have a hard time for a long time to come.
It would be so exciting every day if I met a company commander with a dog face like this.
