Chapter 1178 Joining the Company

"Good combat effectiveness is inseparable from neatness. This is especially true for the third squad of the first platoon of the seventh steel company. I have already discussed the issues of housekeeping in the recruit company, so I will not repeat them.

Wang Yan, you use locker number three, Bai Tiejun, you use locker number four...you share desk number two."

"Yes!"

Wang Yan and Bai Tiejun stood at attention. Actually, there was a third person, but he was just a passerby and was not important...

Then Wu Liuyi arranged beds for them: "Wang Yan will sleep on bed number one, Bai Tiejun will sleep on bed number three. Put down your luggage."

"Yes!"

The two stood at attention again.

Then, Wu Liuyi repeated the placement of toiletries and personal items. Although he did not repeat it, he basically went through the housekeeping.

Then, he asked Wang Yan and others to make the beds and introduced the other soldiers in the squad. The one worth mentioning was Gan Xiaoning.

In the subsequent selection and assessment of Old A, he did not hold everyone back and gave up on his own initiative. Later, Gao Cheng was promoted to deputy battalion commander of the division reconnaissance battalion, and Gan Xiaoning was also transferred there. He belonged to Gao Cheng's direct line and always followed Gao Cheng.

Including the last soldier of the 7th Steel Company, Ma Xiaoshuai, who was full of military glory and personal persistence, and the student soldier from the military academy, who also followed Gao Cheng later.

But Ma Xiaoshuai hasn't come yet.

After a short rest, the whistle for assembly sounded outside. Knowing that they were welcoming new soldiers today, the soldiers who had changed into their regular uniforms in advance all went downstairs to assemble quickly.

Downstairs, Company Commander Gao Cheng and instructor Hong Xingguo, both in casual uniforms, had been waiting there for a long time.

The veterans gathered and stood in line, while the new recruits who had just joined the company had no seats, so they stood in line separately according to their size.

After a while, two veterans came out, each holding a flag.

Gao Cheng saw this and gave the order: "New soldiers, follow the veterans! Move out!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company marched away in a mighty procession and stopped on the playground.

At this time, the sun was hanging in the sky and the summer breeze was blowing.

Two red flags held by veterans were unfurled, one was "Armored Tiger Steel Seventh Company" and the other was "Bloody Pioneer Steel Seventh Company". These were honorary titles awarded by the troops for the company's military exploits and were the pride of the Steel Seventh Company.

"start!"

After the team was assembled, only a dozen recruits were left standing on the side. Gao Cheng gave orders directly without any extra words.

"Yes!"

Shi Jin saluted in response, stood in front of the team, and in the blink of an eye, his face became angry.

"Welcome the flag!"

With a "snap", two veterans unfolded the military flag, marched past the team in step, and then stood solemnly to one side, holding up the company flag.

Then Gao Cheng walked over, standing in standard military posture with an angry look on his face.

He called out his name loudly: "Wang Yan!"

"To!"

"How many people are there in Steel Seventh Company?"

"The Seventh Steel Company has a history of fifty-six years. During this fifty-six-year history, four thousand nine hundred and fifty-five people have become members of the Seventh Steel Company!"

"Wang Yan!"

"To!"

"What number soldier are you in the 7th Steel Company?"

"I am the 4942nd soldier of the 7th Steel Company! I am proud of myself! I am proud of the 4941 before me! And I am proud of the 13 after me!"

"Wang Yan!"

"To!"

"Do you still remember the senior who sacrificed his life for the 7th Steel Company?"

"I remember the 1,104 veterans of the 7th Steel Company who sacrificed their lives for the country! I am proud of them! I am proud to be the successor of these 1,104 veterans!"

……

"Now, recite this company song without a melody with us! The seniors who could sing this song have all died gloriously! Now, only the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company are reciting this song.

We hope!

We hope you can!

We hope you can hear the song roaring from 4,955 throats! "

Gao Cheng stood at attention, looked around at everyone in the field, and shouted with his hoarse voice: "Thunderbolt! Get ready! All set!"

The next moment, the soldiers recited in unison. Wang Yan was also reciting.

But the other recruits just opened their mouths and didn't know what to recite.

In fact, Wang Yan didn't know it in advance. Wu Liuyi had already told everyone on the truck when they came here, but no one else memorized it, only Wang Yan did.

This ceremony is mainly to show the company soul. Whether the soldiers can remember it is not the most important thing. The main thing is to scare the new soldiers and make them admire. In the future, the new soldiers will naturally know these things.

A thunderbolt! A sword!

  A group of tigers! The Seventh Steel Company!

A will of steel! A man of steel!

Defend the country with iron and blood! Protect our homeland!

The sound of killing scares the enemy!

  The reputation of being victorious in every battle spreads!

Attack and win! Defend and hold!

Sing triumphantly over the enemy's corpses!

This was recited by the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company, not sung. However, the song was loud and clear, echoing in the barracks. It was the heroic spirits of the 7th Steel Company, singing this powerful song once again...

After the ceremony, people relaxed. Gao Chengben was not an overly serious person.

On the contrary, he was a man of taste. He liked to listen to music and had a set of speakers. When the 7th Steel Company was disbanded and he was transferred away, he left the set of speakers to Xu Sanduo who was still guarding the camp...

Gao Cheng smiled and shouted "applause!", and the soldiers clapped their hands vigorously together.

After a while, he pressed down his hands to stop the applause.

He said, "The induction ceremony is over. From now on, you are a member of the Seventh Company. The spirit of our Seventh Company is to never abandon or give up. I hope you will remember this and practice it. In our company, you must remember that you are the nth soldier. This is the root of our Seventh Company. Of course, there may be other ways out in the future, so I won't ask for it, but in the Seventh Company, you must not forget. Whoever forgets, I will deal with him. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The recruits led by Wang Yan answered in unison.

"Okay, let's all introduce our selves so we can get to know each other. Wang Yan, you start first."

Gao Cheng called out the name, and Wang Yan responded, walked out of the line, stood in front of the veterans, and began to introduce himself. There was nothing special about it, just showing his humor and friendliness. After all, his name was very popular, which was due to his outstanding performance in various military subjects, and people had heard of it a long time ago.

Furthermore, Wu Liuyi was the best individual soldier in the Seventh Company. When competing with Wang Yan in terms of boxing and physical fitness, he was completely crushed by Wang Yan. The veterans were all aware of these things.

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "You all know Wang Yan. This guy can fight, run, and shoot accurately. If any of you think he's boring, you can learn from him and help each other."

"The company commander is scolding us. Everyone knows that squad leader Wu is no match for Wang Yan. Are we still trying to make trouble for ourselves?" said a soldier.

"You're useless." Gao Cheng cursed with a smile, then waved his hand, "Next one."

In this way, the new recruits introduced themselves and everyone became familiar with each other.

There are more than a hundred people in a company. It is definitely impossible to say that everyone is familiar with each other. Moreover, they are divided into classes and platoons, just like the classmates next door in school. Some people may know each other, but some may not.

But relatively speaking, the relationship between soldiers in a company is still closer. Everyone lives and trains together on weekdays, much closer than the class next door. After a few months, everyone can talk to each other. As for whether the relationship is better, that is another question.

After the introduction, the new recruits were arranged into lines and their formations were adjusted, and it was time for lunch.

It was no different from the recruit company, we still had to line up outside the cafeteria and sing songs at the top of our lungs. After passing this, we could go to the cafeteria to eat.

During meals, the squads were not allowed to talk too much. Only a few officers gathered together, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Of course, everyone still whispered a little during the breaks between meals.

"How is it, Wang Yan, after our induction ceremony, how do you feel?" Gan Xiaoning asked in a muttered voice.

Wang Yan replied: "I am proud of the 7th Steel Company and proud that I can join the 7th Steel Company."

"Tsk, you're just speaking in clichés." Someone shook his head in amusement.

"Your awareness is low, you mean you don't believe this? Squad leader, you need to do some ideological work on him."

"Yes, we need to clean it up." Shi Jin nodded with a smile, "I think that Deputy Squad Leader Wu and I have been busy with the recruit company for the past three months, and the comrades have relaxed a little. We need to hold a class meeting when we get back."

"No, that's what I meant..." The man looked aggrieved and couldn't express his pain.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I know you don't mean that, but brother, I really think so. It's so exciting that I can't wait to pick up the gun and do it."

"Oh, that's right, this is the spirit we need in the 7th Steel Company." Wu Liuyi said with a smile, "But we can't act recklessly. Don't think that what you learn in the recruit company is the same as being a soldier. We are an armored reconnaissance company, and there are many things to learn."

"I know. Didn't the company commander tell me when we were in the recruit company? Our company has nine infantry fighting vehicles and three sniper groups, all of whom are top soldiers. We need to master the shooting of various types of firearms, the principles, maintenance, and repair of firearms, various terrains and night operations, driving and repairing tanks, mastering vehicle-mounted weapons, individual anti-tank and anti-armor, anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, firing of various types of artillery, as well as artillery firing instructions, and radio and so on."

"Okay, I remembered everything the company commander said." Shi Jin said with a smile.

"Xu Sanduo also wrote it down. He kept talking about it whenever he had nothing to do. I remembered it after hearing it so many times."

Wu Liuyi waved his hand and did not continue Xu Sanduo's topic. He said: "I will teach you the things you just said later. Even though you are in good health, most of these things have nothing to do with your body. You will suffer."

"I'm actually a pretty good student." Wang Yan smiled.

Wu Liu subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered what Wang Yan had told him before, that his academic performance was affected because of his parents' accident.

Then he put it back and patted his forehead: "Hey, look at me, you are a college student, you must learn quickly."

"That's enough. You're being too fake." Wang Yan shook his head. "I'm a grown man. What's the big deal? You're making it seem like I'm going to die."

"Get lost, you have a very poisonous tongue." Wu Liuyi cursed with a smile.

Shi Jin waved his hand: "Alright, that's enough. We have plenty of time to talk. Let's eat quickly!"

Everyone calmed down and continued to eat as if they were fighting a war. Everyone's appetite was really good.

Wang Yan also showed them what a glutton is...

After lunch, everyone went back to the barracks for a nap, which was the building in the play. This building did not belong to the Seventh Company in its entirety, but only two floors of it, including dormitories, honor rooms, meeting rooms, sundries, etc.

So after returning, the new recruits also took the opportunity to visit the place to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Back in the classroom, everyone started chatting and laughing.

"Wang Yan, are you really good at martial arts?" a soldier asked.

Bai Tiejun laughed and said, "Your questions are unnecessary. You didn't see it. Seven or eight veterans surrounded him and beat him up. In the end, they all got beaten up by him. It was very fierce."

Wang Yan shook his head with amusement. "I have practiced a little, but it's not the kind of high-flying that you think. It's not that mysterious. We soldiers also practice hard skills, and we get trained by being beaten. In the final analysis, it's to train the body. If the body is well trained, running fast, jumping high, climbing and so on will be easy. It can be regarded as another kind of flying over eaves and walls."

"I mean, you can do it?"

"All soldiers know how to do it," Wang Yan said. "For our building, climbing from the first floor to the roof and then climbing down from the roof, basically everyone can do it, right?"

"You haven't tried it, why don't you show it to me?" someone encouraged Wang Yan.

"Get lost!" Shi Jin cursed, "It's not easy to play with, what if you fall?"

Because of Wang Yan, they will all get lost.

In fact, this saying is not unfamiliar in the army, especially in the north, and there are people from the Northeast in the team. Now that Wang Yan is around, everyone will naturally mention this famous saying from the Northeast, and they will get used to it after saying it for a while, and everyone will know it.

Insults spread quite quickly, even foreigners will call someone an idiot.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Don't we have any training in this area?"

"At most, we can climb to the second floor." Wu Liuyi explained, "We are armored infantry. Why would we climb stairs for no reason? Especially since we are a reconnaissance company. What is a reconnaissance company? Its main function is to scout the enemy. When a real war breaks out, even if it is a street battle, we will blast obstacles when we encounter them, and bombard enemies when we see them. We will not engage in close combat unless it is absolutely necessary.

I remember there will be live-fire target practice next week. When you see how fierce our training fire is, you will understand. Also, after you participate in two exercises, you will know what war is like. "

Wang Yan listened attentively and revealed his expectations at the right time.

"I still remember that each class chose a company."

"That's just wishful thinking. Don't let them beat you up when the time comes. That would be really embarrassing."

Wang Yan didn't care: "Everyone has to embarrass themselves sometimes. I'm thick-skinned and I'm not afraid. If we succeed, our class three will be awesome."

"Not only that." Shi Jin said with a smile, "If the standard of the exercise is high, we can all get a collective third-class merit."

Then he waved his hand again: "Alright, alright, go to bed and have a rest, the more you talk, the more nonsense you become."

"I can't sleep, squad leader, please find those professional books for me so I can study."

"Is there such a request?" Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, then he found a pile of books that was more than one meter high.

He smiled and patted it: "It's all here. See, if you learn all of these, you will be the best scout."

Wang Yan was fearless. He took the book and lay on the bed to read it. He occasionally joked with the new veterans. It was mainly because Bai Tiejun was good at making jokes. In addition, the atmosphere in the third class was good. There was no bullying or exclusion, so it was quite harmonious...

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