Chapter 88 White Iron Army Retirement (Seventh update, please subscribe!)

"All assembly!"

On the playground outside, Gao Cheng suddenly blew his whistle.

"Come into the dormitory in line, first row to visit." Gao Cheng ordered loudly.

The door of the dormitory was opened, and a platoon of soldiers came in with strange expressions, silently, like a memorial service.

Gao Cheng said: "Form in file, turn to the right, stand at attention, and take a rest. Look at it now, it's these two who ran 5000 meters with overload this afternoon, and the two of them did more than 200 push-ups , Now it’s over and lying down. Don’t be shy, you two, if you dare to do it, you’re afraid others will see it? Lift up your clothes.”

Gao Cheng went up to lift up their clothes for them, and his two frayed waists were covered with bandages.

"What do you guys think?"

Wu Liuyi hummed and said, "When you get up, you will be a good man again."

Gao Cheng was angry: "You can do a review when you can get up. Bai Tiejun, you are in the same class and an accomplice. Can you make a statement?"

"Xu Sanduo and the class deputy's spirit of daring to practice, dare to compete and dare to fight is worth learning!" Bai Tiejun replied loudly.

Gao Cheng snorted: "Study, right? Okay, you learn now, [-] push-ups."

Bai Tiejun panicked immediately, and bargained: "Report to the company commander, I'm not a top player, I'll make fifty of them."

"Then make a hundred!" Gao Cheng added another hundred to him.

"Yes!" Bai Tiejun did push-ups on the ground without saying a word.

Gao Cheng turned around and looked at Gan Xiaoning: "What about your attitude?"

Gan Xiaoning bargained in reverse: "I can make a hundred, I can make a hundred and fifty!"

"Two hundred!"

"Yes!" Gan Xiaoning lay beside Bai Tiejun and did the same.

Finally, Gao Cheng looked at Li Bing: "The third squad leader, how did you become the squad leader? Two people carry a big iron pot on their backs for overload training, you can't see it? Don't you know how to stop it?"

"Report to the company commander, I can do two hundred push-ups!"

"Two hundred and five!"

"Yes!"

Hong Xingguo was a little worried, and quietly reminded Gao Cheng: "There is no impenetrable wall. The staff of the regiment headquarters conduct assessments every day. This matter can no longer be concealed. I am afraid they all know about it. So..."

Gao Cheng looked into the instructor's eyes and said word by word: "If you know it, you know it. If you don't stop their unhealthy tendencies, I'm afraid they will die!"

……

As the days go by, in addition to daily training, there is also the demobilization of veterans.

The soldiers of the cooking squad took a lot of fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and fruits from the cart.

The steward commanded without saying a word.

The soldiers passing by were very envious, and they all said that the Seventh Company is really good, and the food is also the best in the whole regiment.

At this time, the chief secretary had no intention of bragging about it for a long time, he just waved his hand and told them to leave.

Then, he walked into the cafeteria with two bunches of bananas.

A few soldiers from the cooking squad were decorating the party venue in the cafeteria, unhappy.

The chief secretary became angry when he saw it: "A dead person? It's not a funeral parlor! Turn on the tape recorder!"

The tape recorder rang.

It's time for dinner, and the troops training on the playground have already walked into the cafeteria chanting for dinner.

The two lined up, and Bai Tiejun and Li Bing walked towards the cafeteria together.

A company of people sat quietly in the cafeteria. As soon as Bai Tiejun entered, Hong Xingguo and Gao Cheng stood up, followed by a burst of warm applause.

This was a signal, and the applause of the whole company suddenly became lively.

Amidst the applause, Bai Tiejun turned his head and finally saw clearly the words on the banner hanging above - "Send off comrades, miss comrades, bless comrades".

Bai Tiejun instantly understood that the day he was most unwilling to wait for had arrived.

"Why... why is it me again? Why... why so fast?"

Bai Tiejun suddenly squatted down, grinned, and wailed recklessly.

Li Bing and Gan Xiaoning pulled him up.

Bai Tiejun hugged them and cried loudly.

Drunken and divorced, after drinking, Qilian's farewell party finally developed into a random hug regardless of rank or shift.

Among the embracing crowd, crying, laughing and scolding became a mess.

Li Bing said: "Old Bai, don't pay back the 100 yuan you owe me! When I start the company, I want to become a shareholder."

Gan Xiaoning said, "Old Bai, you have to visit me often, and I'll pay you the toll fee!"

Someone else said: "Old Bai, you come first and I come second. We are both the bottom ones, so we should hug the instructor!"

Hong Xingguo was embraced by many people, and these soldiers were all soldiers with low training results in the Seventh Steel Company.

Gao Chengjiwei was still there, standing aside with his hands spread out, no one hugged him, he looked very embarrassed.

Bai Tiejun appeared behind him and called affectionately: "Company commander!"

As soon as Gao Cheng turned around, he opened his arms towards him.

But Bai Tiejun didn't hug him, but gave him the most decent military salute in his military career with a snap.Then, Li Jie threw himself into Hong Xingguo's arms.

Gao Cheng looked sadly at Bai Tiejun hugging the instructor.

He knew that these "backwards" hated him, because he didn't treat them very much...

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Bai Tiejun got up quietly. He quietly took out the packed backpack from under the bed, and quietly went outside the dormitory.

Everyone in the room seemed to be asleep.

When he reached the door, Bai Tiejun turned his head and took another look at this familiar dormitory. He suddenly found that the whole class was staring at him intently.

Bai Tiejun waved to them silently, afraid that he would lose control, and ran out the door.

The soldiers who were about to leave in each squad waited in the corridors in front of the dormitories until Hong Xingguo and Gao Cheng came out of the instructor's dormitory lightly. They glanced at them and walked outside quietly.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company already had a tacit understanding and followed behind one by one.

When Hong Xingguo passed by the company's flag, he turned his backpack over to Gao Cheng and saluted the flag with preciousness.

Afterwards, all the people stopped under the company flag, and then saluted one by one.

All this is silent.

A car was parked in an open space not far away. Hong Xingguo and his soldiers climbed into the back of the car silently, and the car drove away slowly.

Everything is very routine, different from any previous departure, this time it is more like a routine - because this trip is too much.

There are a lot of early discharges.

Gao Cheng stood silently, while the others, including Hong Xingguo, never looked back until they left.

Because they are all afraid of looking back, and when they look back, they can't control themselves.

Gao Cheng stood alone, watching his soldiers gradually move away from him...

The first batch of people left, and the Seventh Steel Company was just beginning to reorganize.

Other companies also began to have retired personnel.

Chengcai found Sanduo: "San Duo, can I treat you to dinner today?"

Xu Sanduo nodded and agreed, "I'm just going to the cafeteria."

"Come with me, I haven't had dinner with my friends for a long time."

Chengcai went to Hongsanlian, and his life was not comfortable.

Because the soldiers of the third company didn't want to see him, they all thought that since he could abandon the seventh steel company, one day he would also abandon the third red company.

What Chengcai talked about was eating, but he was actually drinking, drinking boredom, and using wine to drown his sorrows.

After three bottles, he was shaking and brought another four bottles of beer in one breath.

Xu Sanduo stopped him: "Chengcai, none of us can drink."

"Is there anyone in the world who can drink? No! There are only people who can carry it, and all soldiers are those who can carry it."

"Chengcai, you are not happy in Sanlian, are you?" Xu Sanduo asked with concern.

Chengcai seemed to be crying and laughing: "Sanlian? Sanlian! I regret it now, I really want to go back to Qilian."

Xu Sanduo looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly discovered something that should have been discovered long ago. Chengcai's military rank was different from his: "Are you a non-commissioned officer? Chengcai, you are already a non-commissioned officer! Hahaha!"

Chengcai is not very happy: "Transferring this non-commissioned officer, the price is too high... The Red Third Company lacks a squad leader, and the third company commander asked me to fill that position. Do you know which squad I went to?"

"Which class?"

"Where you came from."

"Where is it, under the banyan tree?"

Chengcai was angry: "You are from the fifth class, do you know? In the desert, by the oil pipe, the class that my uncle doesn't care about, and my grandma doesn't love!..."

"Red three consecutive five classes?" Xu Sanduo suddenly smiled, smiling happily.

Chengcai was angry again: "Look! You laugh again, you laugh again!"

"I think it's a coincidence... I think we are really destined to be in Class Five."

Chengcai said angrily: "It's a coincidence for you, but for me, it's a sanatorium for backward soldiers and the grave of all squad leaders!"

Xu Sanduo thought for a while, and retorted: "Class Five is not what you think."

There is a sadness in Chengcai's words: "I feel that my life trajectory seems to have drawn a big circle. I once offended all the people in Qilian, but now I have gone to Sanlian and I have no friends... I just Alone, alone...Xu Sanduo, tell me, why is this happening?"
