Chapter 1165 New Soldier Wang Yan

The spring wind blows across the northern fields.

The wind blew the grass and wild flowers, the branches and leaves, and also blew the new recruits in green clothes who stood solemnly carrying bedding and luggage on their backs.

"move!"

"Still moving!"

"Ten more minutes!"

As the company commander of the recruit company, Gao Cheng pinched his waist, glared and shouted, exerting great pressure on the more than one hundred recruits in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard grumblings in the team.

"Who's talking? Why don't you come over here and talk to me? I'll make room for you."

"what?"

"Ten more minutes!"

After hearing a few deep breaths, the team fell completely silent, and Gao Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

The purpose of this show of power is to suppress the new group of people, most of whom are just adults, and some are even underage kids. Most of them are kids who don’t like to study and are naughty and mischievous.

This is not to mock the soldiers, but the reality is that at this age, for most children, there are only three options: continue to study, work and learn skills, or join the army.

Of course, there is another one, which is to mess around and not learn well. But obviously, this is not the mainstream. Even in the personal life narrative, there are not many chapters about such players.

The troops are full of hot-blooded young men, and problems are likely to arise if they cannot be restrained. Therefore, when they first join the army and are trained in the recruit company, these people must be disciplined and made to know what the army is, what the collective is, what discipline is, and what honor is.

As for the most important "responsibility", it is implemented throughout. It is a responsibility to train hard to improve professional quality, it is a responsibility to fight for the country in the hail of bullets on the battlefield, and it is a responsibility to rush to the front line of disaster relief and protect the lives and property of the people.

It was also in this process of fulfilling their responsibilities that some soldiers, even those with problems, were melted and reshaped by the army's furnace...

Gao Cheng just stood there with his hands behind his back, and even lit a cigarette and smoked it comfortably.

In the team, the core veterans who were transferred to train the new recruits were walking around, constantly correcting the military posture of these new recruits.

From time to time, low shouts could be heard.

"Put your thumb on the second joint of your index finger, let your hands hang naturally, close to the seam of your pants. Keep your legs together and your feet 60 degrees apart. Open your shoulders back, straighten your chest, tighten your abdomen, and look forward."

"Hold tight, don't you understand? Fasten it tight!"

"Keep your legs together, close together!"

"Your legs are sixty degrees apart. How far apart are you? Are you pretending to be Donald Duck? Huh?"

Low shouts were heard one after another, and from time to time there were some clapping sounds and the sound of people's feet kicking. Some veterans taught people with words, some veterans taught people with actions, but more veterans taught people with words while using their hands and feet to adjust people.

That's very polite.

There are always legends among the people that veterans bully new recruits, such as fetching water for veterans to wash their feet and clothes, spending money to buy cigarettes for veterans, etc. There are also punishments for mistakes by superiors, such as eating swill for wasting food, drinking tobacco tea if caught smoking, etc.

This is normal. Even in school, people get bullied, let alone in a military unit full of men. Comparatively speaking, bullying in foreign armies is even more varied.

There are definitely some bad things, but it is also definitely improving and getting better and better...

Gao Cheng held a cigarette in his mouth, looked around the team, and then pointed at a person on the right side of the back row.

"That soldier."

"just you."

"You come out."

The latter shouted "yes" and ran to stand in front of Gao Cheng.

"You stand in military posture very well. Is there anyone in your family serving in the army?"

"Report to the company commander, no. I learned all this during the military training in junior high school. I was a model soldier."

"Oh, you're a good model soldier." Gao Cheng was happy, "You know military boxing and other skills?"

"meeting!"

"Come on, show it." Gao Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The man responded loudly again, then took two steps back and stood still. He then stepped back and raised his hands, starting with the military boxing move, and then began to practice with smooth and vigorous movements.

He was practicing the first set of military boxing, which had few moves and was widely spread. Basically, what was learned during military training was the first set, which was the bow stance punch and throat-piercing kick.

The new recruits standing in line, including the veterans, were all looking at Wang Yan who was moving around in front of the team.

There is no other reason, it's because you stand out too much. Obviously, everyone is just a silly boy standing in line, why are you the only one who is so showy, doing military boxing in front of the new recruit company commander? Especially, you fight so beautifully, you can tell at a glance that you are very fierce...

Seeing them finishing a set of military boxing and standing at attention, Gao Cheng nodded repeatedly in satisfaction and said it was good.

"what's your name?"

"Reporting to the company commander, my name is Wang Yan."

"Oh, I remember that. There are not many people from the Northeast in your group this time, and you are one of them. Okay, return to the team."

Wang Yan replied "yes" and ran back to the team to stand in line.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng said loudly: "Let me tell you. The recruit company is to lay the foundation for you. The training subjects include formation, physical fitness, tactics... I know that you are all men, and you are willing to touch the gun and want to shoot live ammunition. I can tell you that there will be a time for you to shoot. If you are capable and have unlimited bullets, I will let you shoot live ammunition until you vomit.

In a nutshell, if you are a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. If it is a horse, stay and work with me. If it is a mule, then it depends on your luck. That’s all I have to say. Next, divide into rows and classes. When your name is called, stand in line.”

Including Gao Cheng smoking, Wang Yan doing military boxing, and Gao Cheng talking a lot, it didn’t even take more than 20 minutes in total…

On the playground, Shi Jin held the list and read it aloud.

"First row, first squad...Xu Sanduo...Wang Yan..."

After hearing his name, Wang Yan carried his luggage and walked out of the line to the other side.

"I am Xu Sanduo."

"I am Wang Yan."

Wang Yan looked at Xu Sanduo, who was half a head shorter than him, listened to his words with a thick rural accent, and responded with a smile.

"I know your name is Wang Yan. You were really amazing just now."

"If you practice hard in the future, you can be even more powerful."

"I can't do it." "Who says you can't do it?" Wang Yan said with a smile, "You have to do it first, and do it with all your strength, then you will know whether you can do it or not. I think you can do it!"

Xu Sanduo's eyes widened, and his voice rose three degrees: "Really?"

"It really couldn't be truer."

"What are you talking about? Huh? How about I get you two some melon seeds?" A long-faced man walked over, stared at the two of them and shouted.

This is the recruit squad leader Wu Liuyi, and both of them are his subordinates.

Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo stood still, looked straight ahead, and said nothing more.

Wu Liuyi did not get angry. He glared at the two of them, then glanced at the dozen or so people in his class and shouted, "Shut up, everyone. Stand still."

Soon, the teams were assigned. The squad leaders led the teams to disperse, and the teams gathered together to get to know each other. The most outstanding one was of course Wang Yan, after all, he performed well.

People in the class have two different attitudes towards him. For example, some people think he is awesome, while others think he is just showing off.

The only thing that makes people like him is money, and no one can do it perfectly. Wang Yan doesn't care about it.

After this, Wu Liuyi led everyone to the barracks for new recruits.

Just like in the TV series, this is a simple steel-structured barracks where more than a hundred recruits live. Even though they haven't slept yet, they can already imagine the scene.

Because as soon as I came in, I heard a buzzing sound, and even if the old soldier kept shouting and scolding, he couldn't stop the noise.

The cursing stopped here, but someone else was still mumbling. When more than ten people started talking, the noise started again. Then the other side controlled it, and the noise started again...

Wu Liuyi led the twelve people in his class to an area.

"These six bunk beds are where you will sleep. Those who are obedient and not afraid will sleep on the upper bunks, and those who are not obedient will sleep on the lower bunks. Please take care of each other. You can divide them among yourselves."

Xu Sanduo immediately pulled Wang Yan's arm and grinned: "Wang Yan, let's go together. I'm a quiet sleeper, so I can just sleep on the upper bunk."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Xu Sanduo is somewhere between introvert and not introvert. When others show kindness to him, he is no longer introverted. When others are mean to him, he becomes introverted again.

Perhaps one word can sum up Xu Sanduo: bad.

Xu Sanduo is not stupid or dumb. In fact, he has an abnormal memory. He can remember what others say once. When he read books in the army, he started from A according to the library catalog. He did not try to understand them at first, but after reading more, the meaning became clear. When he was conscripted, his teacher said that he was a good student. It can also be seen that he is a person who can read and is expected to become a college student if he continues to read.

That was 2004. Although there were already quite a few college students at that time, they could still be considered talented and had not yet become slaves.

But Xu Sanduo has no opinion, is weak, and is stubborn, which makes him a bad person. It is one person after another who helps him grow and find himself.

He never met a bad person while growing up.

The worst one is Chengcai, a fellow villager of Xu Sanduo. He has bullied Xu Sanduo since he was a child. He is the son of the village chief. He usually calls his friends and gathers three or five people to bully Xu Sanduo and enjoys making fun of him.

If he hadn't joined the army, he would have been a typical unsuccessful ruffian and a frequent prison inmate. But later, he was tempered by the melting pot of the army and became a successful person.

Wang Yan and Chengcai also have an indissoluble bond. Long ago, Chengcai had another name, Cheng Feng, and his ending was not very good...

Everyone found a bed mate for their upper or lower bunk bed, and Wu Liuyi began to teach everyone how to place various items.

Wu Liuyi is a kind-hearted man, but not a patient one. He is straightforward and has a bad temper. He feels helpless about the clumsiness of the new recruits, so he can only scold them constantly to make them remember their lesson.

Of course, Wang Yan is not worried because he is very familiar with this business.

There are many things for soldiers, some of which are issued by the local armed forces before joining the army, and some are issued by the recruit company. Under Wu Liuyi's command, all kinds of things were successfully arranged.

There was still some time before lunch and it was only the first day, so the veterans started teaching the new recruits how to fold their blankets.

There are always clever people who would offer their own quilts to the veterans when they are folding their own, hoping to fold a ready-made one. Then, after the veterans have folded their own quilts, they would tear them apart without hesitation.

Wu Liuyi was the same. He looked at the obviously disappointed recruit and shouted, "The army is not a place for you to play tricks. If you can't fold it well, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

He glanced around and continued, "Okay, make your own quilts. I'll come to check later. Keep quiet and don't talk."

Having said this, he quickly turned around and left.

He was the deputy squad leader of the third squad of the first platoon of the seventh company. He was assigned to the new recruit company as a backbone and was responsible for the training of new recruits and served as a squad leader. He was very happy before, but now he is very irritable. But he is relieved at least because he is a backbone. Not everyone can come to the new recruit company to lead new recruits.

That's how it is in the army. If there's a red flag you carry it, if there's honor you fight for it, and if you're allowed to go, you go.

Like Wu Liuyi, the other veteran squad leaders were in roughly the same state, feeling that each class was worse than the last. They couldn't understand why the new recruits were so bad, as they didn't feel that way when they were young. They had completely forgotten that they were soldiers who had already integrated into the army, and were the vanguards...

After the veterans left, the barracks suddenly became noisy. Although the veterans had ordered not to talk, no one listened. In a closed space, even though it was large, it couldn't hold back dozens of people chatting enthusiastically.

Some people complained that they had to stand in military posture for a long time, some said it was different from what they had imagined and it was a mess, and they said all kinds of things.

Chengcai ran over and patted Xu Sanduo's shoulder from behind as he was busy folding the quilt: "Xu Sanduo."

The latter turned around and smiled happily: "Successful."

“Can you fold it?”

"No." Xu Sanduo said bluntly, "Can you, Chengcai?"

"What's so difficult about folding the quilt? I've practiced it at home before. It's very simple."

"You're awesome." Xu Sanduo grinned, providing a lot of emotional value.

He is a good person in that he does not bear grudges. He was bullied by Chengcai when he was young and was beaten up by him before he joined the army, but he is still smiling happily now.

On the other hand, it is safer not to bear grudges. After all, if he really bears grudges, he will be shot if he kills Chengcai. If he fails to kill Chengcai and is bullied by him even more severely, his passion will fade away, and he will no longer have the courage to resist, and he will be useless.

Chengcai looked at the people around him folding quilts and felt a little proud.

"It's not that hard, you'll get the hang of it if you fold it more. I have a brother who was a soldier, and he told me that the key to folding tofu blocks is to press them. Our quilt is new, too soft, and has no shape, so we have to press it down so it's easier to fold and has sharp edges. After the armed forces issued my quilt, I pressed it at home. You can fold it more easily if you press it down more."

He told this to the people around him.

Xu Sanduo thought he was talking to himself, he smiled and said: "Thank you, Chengcai, I didn't know this. Wang Yan, let's press it quickly, it's a good stack."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "You two knew each other before?"

Chengcai said, "We are from the same village. Oh, by the way, your squad leader, Wu Liuyi, is also our fellow villager. He is from the village next to ours, not far away, only two miles away. Our village is called Lower Banyan Tree, and their village is called Upper Banyan Tree."

"That's what's going on." Wang Yan understood, then shook his head, "Oh, that's not right, since you two are from the same village, why didn't you tell Xu Sanduo to press the quilt before? What are you teaching here now?"

"Uh……"

Chengcai's smile froze a little...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
