Chapter 1197 The Seventh Company Disbanded

After the exercise, Wang Yan became famous again.

Compared to before, the soldiers were even more surprised, and even felt terrified. Because Wang Yan dealt with them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and dealing with those mysterious special forces who were hard to find was also like cutting melons and vegetables.

It seems like they are equal to special forces, there is no big difference.

But the soldiers of the 702nd Regiment have experienced it firsthand, and the special forces are just as good as chopping melons and vegetables when dealing with them...

For a long time after the end of this exercise, when the soldiers chatted in their daily lives, it was still difficult not to sigh at Wang Yan’s amazing combat performance, and it was difficult not to sigh that the gap between people was even greater than the gap between people and dogs.

On this day off, Xu Sanduo went to the third company to visit Chengcai.

"Your company is really amazing. I heard that Wang Yan killed more than 200 people by himself? They were all special forces soldiers."

Xu Sanduo smiled and said, "Wang Yan is awesome, and we are just a burden. Our company commander said that if Wang Yan had been allowed to fight alone earlier, it might have affected the entire exercise. We might have won."

Chengcai sneered. No matter how awesome he was, he was just one person and could not defeat so many special forces. He now admitted that Wang Yan was awesome, but he did not believe such a fantastic thing.

However, he did not argue with Xu Sanduo. He knew it was useless to say those things to Xu Sanduo, and Xu Sanduo admired Wang Yan the most.

He then asked, "How are you? How many did you do?"

"twelve."

"Okay, I only did three."

Xu Sanduo explained: "I only shot four people before. Later, they wanted to fight Wang Yan alone, surrounded our Seventh Company's position, and rushed in at all costs. We shot all of them. We shot the other eight people at that time. There was no need to aim, just shoot."

"Is there such a thing?"

"You are well-informed, so you must know."

If Chengcai hadn't known that Xu Sanduo was pure, he would have thought that Xu Sanduo was mocking him. If he hadn't been in the army, but was in their Xiarongshu Village, even if he knew Xu Sanduo was pure, Chengcai would have summoned his minions and caught Xu Sanduo and beat him up.

But now, Chengcai just shook his head: "Our company commander must know, but I don't know that much. I just heard that Wang Yan is awesome. What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"The Blue Army had already found our regiment's headquarters and surrounded it. Then they wanted to fight Wang Yan, so they delayed the end of the exercise and waited for us to figure out the outcome."

"Tsk, you said it more carefully, how do you do it?"

After listening to Xu Sanduo's story, Chengcai was silent for a while, then he let out a long sigh and said, "Wang Yan is really awesome."

"He is the best. I will never be able to catch up with him in my life." Xu Sanduo smiled innocently and nodded.

Chengcai took out Tashan cigarettes and gave one to Xu Sanduo, but Xu Sanduo waved his hand to refuse.

"You haven't learned to smoke yet? I remember Wu Liuyi, Wang Yan and the others all smoke, right?"

"No one asked me to learn. Wang Yan said smoking is harmful to the body and meaningless, and the class vice-chairman said smoking costs money."

"Okay, that's good for you."

"It's fine."

Chengcai squatted down, put his hands on his knees, and pulled Xu Sanduo down to squat with him.

He asked, "Have you thought about what to do next?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Sanduo was confused.

"You really don't know?"

"what do you know?"

Chengcai looked around and lowered his voice as if whispering some big secret.

"Our regiment is going to reorganize and reduce its military strength. I've heard about this big thing. Wang Yan and the others must know about it. Didn't they tell you?"

"I don't know." Xu Sanduo shook his head honestly.

"You should ask more. The earlier you know, the earlier you can prepare." Chengcai exhaled a puff of cigarette and said complacently, "I don't know about you, but I'm staying here to continue working. The company commander has already told me that when my conscription expires next year, he will definitely sign me up as a non-commissioned officer. It's only a few months away, so you should think about it carefully."

"I didn't think about it."

Xu Sanduo squatted there, hugging his shoulders, staring at the insects on the ground, very confused.

"It's not a big deal. If you want to be a soldier, then sign up as a non-commissioned officer. If you don't want to be a soldier, then you can pack up and go home to farm next spring. I don't want to go back. Do you want to go back?"

"I don't know." Xu Sanduo asked, "Can we sign just because the sergeant says so?"

"Others can't do it, but you can. You are really stupid." Chengcai was so disappointed with his achievements that he looked heartbroken. "Tell Wang Yan, he can do it for you. Don't you see that Wang Yan knows so many people? He can even smoke with the regiment commander and the political commissar, so he can definitely get it done. Besides, you are not bad either, you are better than me, what are you afraid of? As long as you want to stay, you can definitely stay. Go back and talk to Wang Yan, he is smart."

"I am the dumbest one, and Wang Yan has helped me a lot."

"I don't know why he is so nice to you."

"He said he liked me and thought I was genuine." Xu Sanduo smiled innocently again.

So the two of them talked again, and Chengcai invited Xu Sanduo to have a good meal at the service center. When Xu Sanduo returned to the company, the entire day's vacation was basically over.

After dinner, the soldiers went about their business.

Some stood and walked around, saying they wanted to live to be 99. Some also stood and walked around, planning to go out for more exercise after digesting their food. Some read books, some played cards, in short, it was very comfortable.

The dormitories of Class One and Class Three are opposite each other. Because of Wang Yan, the two classes are basically equivalent to one class, and the soldiers visit each other frequently.

Xu Sanduo came over and found Wang Yan who was playing Poker with Wu Liuyi and others and betting on cigarettes.

Seeing Xu Sanduo's hesitation, Wang Yan smiled and asked someone to take his cards. Then he took a cigarette from the pile of cigarettes in front of him, stood up and took Xu Sanduo downstairs.

After squatting in a secluded place, Wang Yan lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't waste your time."

Xu Sanduo hesitated for a moment and stammered, "I heard that our company is going to reorganize and disarm. Is that true?"

"Shengcai told you, right?"

"Uh... no!"

"That's enough." Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, "Why didn't you hear about it yesterday? You heard about it today? It must have been Chengcai who told you. It is true. The army needs to reform, improve the quality of soldiers, and improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army. It is necessary to innovate frequently to keep up with the development of the times.

You have watched the news broadcast a lot, and the commentary is pretty good now. You should know these principles. In addition to reorganization and disarmament, there is another good news. Our allowances will increase, and our treatment will also be improved, so our lives will be much better. "

"That's a good thing. The class deputy can buy cigarettes now."

"It's in vain." Wang Yan laughed, "He's addicted to saving money, and now he's immersed in it. He used to be so generous, but now he's so stingy."

"He's going to get married, so it must be different. I heard someone from his family came to see him last month, and Bai Tiejun said it was the class vice-chairman's girlfriend."

"Yes, I saw her. She's quite pretty. Don't you have any thoughts?"

"I'm still young."

"We are the same age. After the New Year, we will be 22. The country allows marriage, so we are not young anymore. Isn't your father anxious? There are three brothers in your family. Your eldest brother is over 30 and still hasn't married. Your second brother is a jerk. Your family is counting on you." Xu Sanduo blushed and felt embarrassed.

He changed the subject: "Chengcai said he has already talked to their company commander and will sign him up as a non-commissioned officer next year."

"Will you sign it?"

"I don't know. Chengcai asked me to talk to you and hear your opinion."

"Sign!" Wang Yan said simply and directly, "You are a good soldier. If a good soldier doesn't join the army, what else can he do? You don't have any skills to work outside, and it will be hard to farm at home, and you won't earn much. The army is better, with food and accommodation. If you perform well, you will be promoted in the future, and the country will give you a wife. You can work in the army for a lifetime, until retirement. How great is that."

"Then I have to ask my father..."

"Xu Sanduo, you have to make your own decisions. You are so old now, you have to have your own ideas. Your father has lived in his hometown all his life, and the farthest place he has been to is the county town. If he doesn't agree, he will definitely ask you to go home to get married and have children to carry on the family line. Do you think your family conditions allow you to get married? If you could get married, would your eldest and second brothers still be bachelors today? You have to be your father's family now. You can't let him decide everything."

"Then I...sign?"

"I will definitely sign it." Wang Yan waved his hand. "It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until next year. You don't have to worry. As long as you do what you should do, train well, read more books, hone your skills, and improve your quality, the army will not lay you off even if it reorganizes or reduces its military.

With your current grades, you will be a top student wherever you go. It is a sure thing that you will be signed as a non-commissioned officer. As long as you want to do it, the army will not give up on you. Don't worry, these things have nothing to do with you. "

"Chengcai said that the Seventh Company might no longer exist..." Xu Sanduo retorted.

"This is normal, just like Lao Ma, there are always people who have to leave, and one day things will all fall apart. We can't stay in the same army our whole lives, there will always be transfers. You have to accept it. If you can't accept it, then just hold on. How does the saying go? All good things must come to an end. That's the truth."

Wang Yan put out his cigarette, propped himself up on his knees and stood up, "Are you alright? Let's go, go back and read some books. You need to enrich yourself. Exercise to strengthen your body, and read to strengthen your mind. You can't fall behind in either."

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the class, blending into the excitement of their comrades again...

Shi Jin definitely didn't have to leave this time. In fact, not long after the exercise ended, Shi Jin had already put on two crutches and became a fourth-term non-commissioned officer, and could continue to work for another four years.

Of course, there is no problem with Wu Liuyi's renewal, but he has not yet reached the term limit. However, Wu Liuyi's disaster is not the reduction of troops, but the selection of the special forces.

During the selection, he sprained his ankle and ruptured his Achilles tendon, which seriously affected his condition. He was a strong-willed person, and even though Gao Cheng later arranged for him to be the chief steward, he did not choose to continue to stay in the army and resolutely retired from the army...

The news of reorganization and disarmament could not be concealed, and it had spread throughout the regiment like the wind. The 702nd Regiment was the main field force, and the reform and strengthening would start from here...

After some winter exercises and training, after the New Year and the beginning of spring, the real large-scale layoffs finally began.

Previously, they waited until the veterans left, and the standard for signing up as non-commissioned officers was raised, so that a large number of people left last fall. There were conscripts with two years of service, and quite a few non-commissioned officers.

Now, the regiment has started a military skills competition to select the best ones and retain them.

Wang Yan did not participate because he was too tough, his combat record was traceable, and he had already been confirmed for promotion, so there was no need to attack other soldiers. So the regiment selected him to join the assessment team.

In various competitions, there were a lot of officers and non-commissioned officers sitting or standing, but he was the only one standing there with two limbs.

On this day, Bai Tiejun was speaking nonsense again.

"We are competing now to decide whether to stay or go. Brothers should be mentally prepared. Anyway, I am ready to recover."

He was telling the truth, and everyone knew it. So after he finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I remember it. When Lao Ma retired from the army two years ago, you said that you must not cry when you leave. If you cry, call us dad. I'm waiting for you."

Wu Liuyi echoed, "Yes, I'll see if you cry then."

"I definitely won't cry! I will definitely leave with a smile."

So everyone started to make a fuss again and teased Bai Tiejun.

Someone asked, "Wang Yan, when are you leaving? Have you been notified?"

"I asked the political commissar last time. I will sign up as a non-commissioned officer next month and become a party member. The promotion exam will be in June. After passing the exam, I will go to the military academy. Don't worry, I will definitely watch you go. In Bai Tiejun's words, that means keeping all the sadness to yourself and promise not to cry."

His matter had already been decided, and his comrades all knew it.

Everyone was laughing and joking together, and they all cherished it. They all knew that such laughter and joking were becoming less and less...

In the end, Bai Tiejun, who said he would never cry, finally cried.

On this day, the company held a farewell party for the soldiers who were leaving.

Bai Tiejun walked in and saw the gazes of his comrades-in-arms who used to play and fight with him, and he burst into tears.

"Dads, I really don't want to leave..." he said sincerely.

Although they shouldn't laugh, and although their comrades felt heavy in their hearts, they couldn't help but burst into laughter...

Bai Tiejun also laughed, his eyes turned red and his nose was covered with snot bubbles.

"You are a man." Wang Yan patted Bai Tiejun on the shoulder.

"Brother Yan, remember to write me back. I don't know what will happen to my brother in the future without your care."

"The country is developing fast now, and there are many opportunities. You are a smart kid, and you may become a billionaire. You have to take care of your brother when the time comes."

Bai Tiejun said with a smile: "Brother Yan, it's been two years. Can you please call me brother and let me feel better?"

"Okay, Brother Jun'er." Wang Yan kicked him on the butt, "Reverse Tiangang."

"Comfortable." Bai Tiejun laughed, "No regrets."

"Get lost, you're talking as if I'm bullying you."

Shi Jin came over with a bottle of wine: "Come, let's have a drink."

Wu Liuyi, Gan Xiaoning, Xu Sanduo...even Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo, all drank with Bai Tiejun and other soldiers.

Everyone was drunk that day.

Crying, laughing, crying and laughing, laughing and crying, crying in the end.

After this day, the Seventh Company lost half of its personnel.

Another half month later, the 7th Company was disbanded. The elite soldiers who stayed behind were assigned to various regiments. They were about to meet new comrades and start a new life in the army.

Many people are destined to never meet again in this life.

  But they have a common memory, the 7th Steel Company!

They stay in each other's memory and will never forget it!

When you hear a familiar song, something similar happens, or you hear someone's unintentional words, or even when you smoke a cigarette or drink a glass of wine out of boredom.

They would suddenly become silent.

There was silence for a long time.

Finally, a smile of relief...

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