They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 131: New recruits and old comrades gather together, the benefits brought by a pack of cigarettes

In the next few days, the atmosphere of preparations for the battle in the Yuanhuo Second Battalion became more and more tense.

Chen Ming also gradually got used to it. He followed the second squad every day and participated in the intense preparations for combat. It was said to be preparations, but in fact it was almost the same as before, with all the equipment assembled and unified training.

It's just that the intensity has increased a lot.

The time soon came to the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. This day is the small year in the north and the day before the small year in the south.

After lunch, Chen Ming returned to the dormitory. Just as he was about to take off his coat for a lunch break, Wang Baoding came in from the outside with a basin and shouted: "Da Mingzi, someone is looking for you downstairs. He is a second-term sergeant with a dark face. I I don’t know him, but he looks like he’s from Yuanhuo Camp based on his armband. Can you go down and take a look?”

"Looking for me?" Chen Ming picked up his coat in surprise and put it on again.

After a few days of training, he became familiar with the people in the class. Some people called him Lao Chen, and others called him Da Mingzi. Anyway, except for lining up or serious occasions, few people called him by his full name.

But he is only acquainted with the second class, and he has little contact with other classes.

Who will look for me?

Chen Ming walked to the window while buttoning his buttons, stretched his head and looked downstairs, and saw Zhao Lifei with his hands behind his back next to the honor column, looking like a wealthy landlord.

Behind them were two crooked soldiers, one tall and one short. Looking closely, they were Wei Chongchong and Dong Ke who were assigned to the No. [-] Battalion of Yuanhuo.

Chen Ming's face lit up.

He turned to look at Wang Shuaibing, who was still sticking out his butt and stretching his quilt, and shouted: "Old Wang."

"Hey."

"Wang Shuaibing."

"arrive."

This guy didn't even raise his head when he called Lao Wang. He immediately stood at attention when his full name was called.

Chen Ming smiled and pointed to the outside of the dormitory: "Come on, come downstairs with me, Old Wei and the others are here."

"Old Wei? Which old Wei?"

Wang Shuaibing was still a little confused. Seeing that Chen Ming had walked out of the dormitory, he slapped his forehead and followed him out with a "whoosh".

Come downstairs.

Before anyone could reach him, Chen Ming greeted with a smile: "Monitor, Lao Wei, Lao Dong, why are you here?"

"Hehe, boy." Zhao Lifei turned his head to look at Chen Ming when he heard the voice, and punched him in the chest.

"Squad deputy."

"Squad deputy."

Wei Chong Chong, Dong Ke shouted excitedly.

It was the first time they met after the next day, and everyone seemed very happy.

"You're doing fine in the second camp. I haven't been here for a few days. After asking around a little bit, everyone knows you're in the second camp?"

"This name is like thunder."

Zhao Lifei said with a smile.

In response, Chen Ming just grinned. If he wanted to ask someone from the company, he must know him. The ceremony of joining the company was not in vain.

As for the other companies, let alone the whole Second Battalion, he and Wang Shuaibing were just two rookies, and they could be answered by any question.

"Okay, I brought him here for you." Zhao Lifei patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.

"We will have a meeting at noon. The battalion commanders of the First and Second Battalions of Yuanhuo have taken into account that your new comrades have just joined the company, and the preparations for war will take a long time, so they are afraid that you will not be able to bear it."

"Specially approved for a half-day leave, these two brats were worried that they would not find you, so they ran to the class and dragged me to come with them."

"I don't even think about how busy I am."

"You guys have a good time together, I'm leaving."

After Zhao Lifei finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave without waiting for Chen Ming's response. It could be seen that he was indeed very busy.

It's just that he didn't take two steps, and ran into the second squad leader Xi Minghui head-on.

The two of them were obviously acquaintances.

Xi Minghui looked at Zhao Lifei in surprise, and scolded with a smile: "Zhao Laohei, why are you running to our second battalion if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do?"

"I'm not afraid that Battalion Commander Gao will catch you leaving your post privately during the preparations for the war, and the skin will be peeled off for you."

"Fuck off, you think labor and management are willing to come." Zhao Lifei pointed to Chen Ming and the new recruits and said, "The battalion commander arranged for them to rest for half a day in the afternoon."

"In the past, recruits even trained in the same class. I took them here to see the way."

"Well, I just heard what the company commander said, so what, Chen Ming, Wang Shuaibing, you two don't have to participate in training in the afternoon, get together with your comrades in arms, and return to the team before dinner."

"Yes."

"Hey." After Xi Minghui finished speaking, he patted Zhao Lifei's shoulder with a humble expression and whispered: "Old Hei, thank you for cultivating such a good seed Chen Ming, I am really grateful to you."

"Please smoke when you are free one day."

"Get out." Zhao Lifei laughed and cursed, waved his hand at Chen Ming, and strode away from the company's station.

Xi Minghui also simply explained twice and left.

Only Chen Ming, Wang Shuaibing, Wei Chongchong and Dong Ke were left on the scene.

The four of them lined up and walked on the road of the second battalion. After hearing Wang Shuaibing's experience after joining the company, Dong Ke said with emotion: "The squad deputy is the squad deputy. He can even get rid of the pickets."

"Many of our veterans there have been arrested. They gnashed their teeth with hatred when it came to picketing. They discussed saping the sap all day long, but no one took any action."

Chen Ming just smiled and led the team to walk in the front, quietly listening to their chat, he enjoyed this short reunion very much.

"Hey, squad deputy, I heard from squad leader Zhao that only combat units in the entire artillery brigade are making intensive preparations. The brigade headquarters doesn't seem to be so strict. How about we go find Lao Ma?"

Dong Ke suggested.

"To the Brigade Headquarters?" Wei Chongchong frowned, "Should we just walk? The key is to know the route even if we walk."

"I miss Lao Ma too. He was assigned to the security company directly under the brigade, and I don't know how he was doing." Wang Shuaibing followed.

See they all want to go to the brigade.

Hearing their chat all the time, Chen Ming said with a smile, "It's not easy to go, let's go, I'll take you there."

"If you think about it, there is nothing you can't do."

"Squad deputy, do you have a solution?" The three were surprised.

Chen Ming shrugged his shoulders, and stretched out his fingers to look at the gate of the second camp not far away. They had already come here before they knew it.

"During the preparations for the war, there must be many people in the battalion going to the brigade to handle errands. Let's chat with the brothers on guard. They will definitely know which car will pass by."

"Who has cigarettes? It's easier to talk if you have this thing." As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, the three of them put their hands into their pockets in unison, and each took out a pack of cigarettes.

After being assigned to the company, the artillery training was very intensive, and no one cared about smoking in their spare time.

But Chen Ming was still surprised.

Except for Wang Shuaibing, these people were well hidden in the recruit company, and he didn't find that the other two actually smoked.

"Hehe, I bought a few new boxes from the next company. Class deputy, use mine. I smoke less, and I give them to the veterans in the class, so the ones I bought are better."

Dong Ke seemed to understand Chen Ming's doubts, explained, and handed over a whole pack of King Furong in his hand.

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go over and check your voice first."

Chen Ming didn't show any pretense, grabbed the cigarette, stuffed it into his pocket, and strode towards the entrance of the camp.

It was a little far away just now, and Chen Ming didn't see it clearly. He didn't see it until he got closer. He still knew the sentinel at the gate guard station of the Second Battalion.

It was Lin Zibo, a veteran of the [-]nd Platoon and [-]th Squadron, whom I met while out jogging a few mornings ago.

I saw him standing guard at the company gate at that time. Why did he go to the camp gate and stand guard again today?

Chen Ming suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked over, and waved hello: "Hello, Squad Leader Lin."

The other party obviously recognized Chen Ming and said in surprise: "Hey, brother recruit, why are you here?"

"The two of us are really destined. Are you going to camp? Do you have a leave?"

"Leave note?" Chen Ming was stunned, then smiled and said, "We don't need a leave note today. The two battalion commanders of the Yuanhuo Camp specially gave the recruits half a day off, saying that they can return to the team before dinner."

"Oh, it seems like this happened. I heard about it when I handed over the shift just now. Okay, then you can go out and don't run too far. You just arrived and don't know the way. It will be troublesome if you delay your return to the team."

"It's like this, Squad Leader Lin, some of us want to go to the brigade headquarters to find our comrades-in-arms, but we don't know how to get there. See if there are many cars from our second battalion going to the brigade, and give us a ride along the way."

"I bought an extra pack of cigarettes just now. You see, I don't smoke. Squad leader Lin, just take it and smoke."

Chen Ming approached Lin Zibo and gave him the cigarette without leaving any trace. Who knew that this guy was still an upright person.

Seeing Chen Ming stuffing a cigarette for him, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Brother, this is my responsibility. It's easy to find a car. The car leaving at this time is most likely going to the brigade headquarters. I'll stop it for you and ask." Ask, because of my face, it’s no problem.”

"No more cigarettes."

"Yes." Chen Ming pushed back quietly. Lin Zibo always stood guard at the door. He might meet him next time. How could Chen Ming be so polite to him.

Pushing the cigarette back, he whispered: "Squad leader Lin, after all, you are not the only one on duty here. Take it and smoke some with the other squad leaders later. It's quite hard to stand guard, so just accept it."

How could an upright soldier like Lin Zibo be a match for an experienced soldier like Chen Ming?

A few words gave Lin Zibo a feeling that he would look noble if he tried to shirk it again.

At this time, they happened to encounter a car leaving the camp, and Lin Zibo immediately ran forward to ask.

Pulling the car door open, he shouted at Chen Ming and the others: "Brother, come here quickly. This car is for the brigade headquarters. It can deliver you to the gate of the guard company's station. Come here quickly."

then.

Under Wang Shuaibing's shocked eyes, Chen Ming got into the car, and the other three hurriedly followed behind.

Along the way, they didn't understand how Chen Ming asked a veteran with two crutches to help stop the car and ordered the driver to take them to the brigade headquarters for a box of more than 20 yuan of cigarettes.

Enthusiasm outrageous.

It was like meeting the leader.

Dong Ke was even more helpless. This pack of cigarettes was put in his hand, at most it was given to the veterans in the class to smoke for two days.

The squad deputy is the squad deputy. He has a high emotional intelligence. After leaving the recruit company, he still has everything he wants.

The driver of the car they took was a clerk from the Third Company of the Second Battalion. He happened to be going to the brigade headquarters to sign a document, so he took them with him.

While chatting in the car, according to the document, Lin Zibo was indeed quite famous in the second battalion. Because of the special nature of the fifth squad, it was not a combat squad, so people in the squad often had to stand guard.

He was quite familiar with all the traffic arteries of the Second Battalion.

Even at the end, even Chen Ming couldn't help but praise himself for his foresight and foresight. This pack of cigarettes was really worth it.

Who knows when I'll run into him again.

Soon, the vehicle drove to the brigade headquarters, and the clerk specially drove them to the gate of the security company directly under the brigade.

Only then left.
