my bright sword career

Chapter 80 Military Rank
Beads of sweat flowed down Huang Jianhua's forehead and penetrated into his left eye, making him feel hot.

The scenery in front of him also became blurred, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it. Under the sunshine of early spring, Huang Jianhua, like the recruits around him, stood upright with his head held high and his eyes level.

This is one of the most basic training for recruits from ordinary civilians to soldiers: standing in a military posture.

Gao Hongming paid special attention to the recruits recruited this time, and repeatedly emphasized that they must be trained strictly. He would never forgive anyone who lost the chain during the training, so the recruits suffered.

Huang Jianhua's recruit instructor is named Li Chang'an, and he is a vicious-looking fellow.

Of course, not only did he look ruthless, but he also acted fiercely and violently, and his fist skills were even better.

Huang Jianhua once kicked him in the stomach with hard leather boots, causing him to lie on the ground for more than ten minutes before getting up. I guess if someone really angered him, this guy would really make him feel angry. Unscrew the head off.

Several times, Huang Jianhua almost couldn't hold on and wanted to quit, but when he thought that if he quit, he would not only lose the military salary of two oceans per month, but also have to return all the settlement allowance of thirty yuan he received earlier, so he gave up. thought.

You can't owe money to the army these days. If you really dare to owe money and don't pay it back, they will really dare to kill people.

Under Li Changan's despotic power, these recruits are like little rabbits, they can be as obedient as they want.

At this moment, Li Changan was walking back and forth in the queue, glaring with two eyes under the brim of his hat, and looked at the recruits including Huang Jianhua from head to toe. Under his gaze, the five hundred recruits from the Eighth Recruit Company were like tigers A group of little white rabbits shivered in front of them.

"Rookies, congratulations..."

Li Changan's voice sounded.

"Now it's the break time, you can rest for 10 minutes as much as you want, and gather at the same place after 10 minutes."

"Whoa..."

As Li Changan's voice fell, hundreds of recruits dispersed like an amnesty.

One by one they dispersed as quickly as possible, some ran for convenience, and some walked aside to find water to drink.

Only at this time can they relax. Many people fell to the ground and stretched their stiff hands and feet...

Huang Jianhua couldn't figure out why the recruits from other companies had such a "nourishing" life as recruits, while their eighth company had such a miserable life.

"Hey...brothers..."

At this time, a short recruit came over and said mysteriously to the surrounding recruits: "Do you know why the Black Faced God is training us so hard?"

"Do you know?" Huang Jianhua asked a little strangely.

"Of course."

The short recruit said proudly: "I heard from my fellow villagers in other companies that our company is not an ordinary infantry company, but is prepared for the establishment of an armored battalion."

"Armor battalion?"

It was the first time for the vast majority of soldiers to hear this word.

"Tu Xingsun, don't be a fool, you kid, tell me quickly." A recruit became impatient.

Tu Xingsun's name is Sun Youfu. He is only 1.5 meters five and looks relatively short. On weekdays, he likes to run around between various companies to inquire about news, so his comrades nicknamed him Tu Xingsun.

But Sun Youfu was not angry, he still happily agreed when people called him that.

Sun Youfu said in a low voice: "You don't know, you probably don't know the name of the Armored Battalion, but you should understand tanks, right?"

"Tank?" Someone asked curiously, "Is it the kind of iron bastard wrapped in thick armor?"

"What kind of armor, that's called armor."

Sun Youfu gave the man a blank look, "Actually, it should be called the Tank Battalion, but I don't know what our group thinks and came up with such a name.

In the future, once the armored battalion is established, we will be the best in the whole regiment. "

Looking at Sun Youfu's thumbs up, Huang Jianhua asked suspiciously: "It's true, you won't lie to us with fake news, will you?"

"It's a bastard who lied to you."

Sun Youfu snorted softly, "It's fine if you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Beep……"

A sharp whistle sounded suddenly, and upon hearing the whistle, the recruits all jumped up as if by conditioned reflex.

I can’t blame the recruits either. Judging from past experience, once the whistle is sounded, those who have not lined up within 30 seconds will be greeted with vicious curses from the instructor and painful leather boots that you will never forget.

In fact, it didn't take 30 seconds. In less than 20 seconds, the entire Eighth Company of Recruits had already assembled.

But what surprised the recruits was that although Li Changan, who usually had a dark face, was still very serious, the soldiers could still see an imperceptible smile on his face.

The black-faced god can still laugh, this discovery almost made the recruits collectively panic, did this guy hit his head just now?
Just when everyone was wondering, the answer was revealed, because a young officer came from not far away.

Sharp-eyed soldiers noticed that the officer was wearing a silver twisted silk epaulet with two golden four-pointed stars on his shoulders. According to the education recruits received these days, the rank of the person wearing this armband should be a colonel. , there is only one person who can wear this epaulet, and that is their leader Gao Hongming.

Originally, the militia had no military ranks. The reason was that Gao Hongming was afraid of causing trouble. After all, his army had not been recognized by the government, and awarding military ranks to soldiers and officers without authorization would attract criticism from others.

But in the actual battle, he found that the troops without military ranks caused more trouble.

After all, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and any situation may happen. Once the troops are dispersed, the soldiers do not know each other and do not belong to each other. In this way, battlefield command becomes a big problem.

So after thinking about it, Gao Hongming decided that it would be better to award military ranks to the troops, and in order to prevent others from gossiping, the military ranks he issued to the troops were also copied from the German military ranks, with some minor changes in some details.

For example, the ranks of the German army are too cumbersome. There are six levels of senior exempt soldiers, special exempt soldiers (more than 6 years of service), upper exempt soldiers (less than 6 years of service), exempt soldiers, upper private soldiers, and private soldiers.

In Gao Hongming's view, there is no need for this at all, so he changed it to three levels, namely first class soldier, second class soldier and private soldier.

Sergeant is divided into sergeant, sergeant and corporal
As for lieutenants and school officers, there is no change.

After some awards, the morale of the entire unit has also taken on a new look. Both officers and soldiers welcome this decision.
