golden scales

Sergeants are a class between officers and ordinary soldiers, divided into seven ranks.The lowest rank is corporal, and the upper ranks are sergeant and sergeant.Above the sergeant is the fourth-rank sergeant, and the highest rank is the first-rank sergeant.

In the army, sergeants are mainly professional soldiers who are different from conscripts. They have no clear retirement age, and they can be re-employed as long as they work hard to complete their tasks, just like old employees in an enterprise.

At the same time, they are also technical arms in the army, with certain irreplaceable surnames, such as gunners, horse scouts, doctors and nurses, veterinarians, accountants, and cooks.

In the head of the main battalion like the First Guards Battalion, the corporal commander is generally a corporal, and the captain is a sergeant.At the level of the flag team, there is a real distinction between officers and non-commissioned officers.In addition to the second lieutenant officer who serves as the captain of the flag, each flag also has a sergeant or several sergeants who lead the training of the soldiers, assist the training staff to complete the training outline, assist the military judge to maintain the order of the team, and assist the accountant to check and record materials... …

In Zhu Cihong's understanding, the class of non-commissioned officers is more like student cadres. They are still soldiers, but they have the authority to manage other soldiers.

Wang Yi was awarded the rank of sergeant and became a deputy flag captain at the same time.

Xiao Mo's other interest in Wang Yi is because this kid is unreasonable, and he can say such bold words as "I don't intend to die, but let the enemy die" for the first time in battle, which makes people feel quite interesting .So he deliberately took a step back in Dezhou and picked Wang Yi out of the military prison.After picking up Wang Yi, Xiao Mo left another fire soldier to lead him back to the station, and then he and Liu Si led the troops to continue to the Jinan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Wang Yi watched the flying tiger red flag with two wings hurrying back and forth, and was still on the spot, until the fire soldier said, "Brother Wang, shall we go back?"

Wang Yi was a little surprised; "You know me?"

"Who else doesn't know you? Since the founding of the army, you are the first one who dares to overstep the command." The fire soldier said with a smile: "Brother Wang, let's go, there is a carriage to Shenzhou here, five dollars per person, Today is my brother’s treat.”

Wang Yi nodded. Although he thanked him for his kindness, he felt aggrieved in his heart that he was labeled as "overstepping".

As a fresh-blooded young man, since entering the new barracks, his journey has been smooth and smooth.Because of his hard work, the instructors are polite to save face when they see him, which makes him very lack of awe of the instructor's "military power".In Wang Yi's view, only those officers who really lead troops into battle and can't count on killing the enemy have the "command power" at all.

And that voice at that time...wasn't it killer...Wang Yi never admitted that he had more than half of the idea of ​​"overstepping".

"Brother Wang, why did you think of giving the order at that time?" The fire soldier followed closely behind Wang Yi, asking relentlessly.

"Kill the boss." Wang Yi didn't want to talk to him at first, but after thinking about it, he left the flag team, and there was no need to get too stiff with the brothers he just met, so he just said it perfunctorily.

The Huo soldier laughed and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince boasted that the timing of this formation was good, but I didn't expect it to be a recruit shouting. Brother Wang, so you can't stop your luck. "

"That was General Xiao just now, right?" Wang Yi abruptly changed the subject.It is always a very painful thing for one's own scars to be rumored as brilliance.If time went back, Wang Yi would not have yelled like that.He himself knew that the so-called regrouping of the broken troops was just an excuse. Looking back and thinking about it carefully, it is impossible to have this ability with the fighting will of the Han Army Banner.

"Who else is there besides General Xiao?" The fire soldier smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you haven't figured it out yet, right? The double-winged flying tiger flag is the flag of our tank division, and it's always Liu Si and Fourth Brother Liu. We are the fists of the 100st Guards Battalion." The fire soldier clenched his fists and raised his hand: "Even if we lose so much this time, we will only recruit troops from other departments and divisions, and the recruits from the new barracks will not be counted. [-] people, most of them are fire soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. The sergeant is the only one for you, Brother Wang!"

"Are you a veteran of the Tank Division?" Wang Yi asked, "What's your brother's name?"

"Hey, little brother Hu Er, he was actually transferred from the [-]th headquarters." Hu Er was a little embarrassed, and then excitedly said: "I was going to be promoted to a soldier, but I heard that I can be transferred to the tank division. Let me be a fire soldier for a year! To be honest, my younger brother is not an ordinary person." Hu Er stopped talking, wanting to make a fool of himself and wait for Wang Yi to ask: Dare I ask you, brother, why is this unusual?Then he continued to talk, just now he had saved enough face.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yi didn't ask any questions, but thought to himself: Your ability to chatter is really extraordinary.

Seeing that Wang Yi didn't respond, Hu Erfang continued: "Brother, I'm not just a fire soldier, I've also fired a fire blunderbuss, and I've also studied medical care. When I go to the battlefield in the future, Brother Wang will know that I'm not just a freelancer. gone."

Wang Yi grinned and didn't say much.Although he is young, his knowledge is not shallow.When he first entered the new barracks, some people came to persuade him to go to the firearms department. They said it was hype, but he wanted to fight the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and he didn't want to hide behind and shoot guns, so he didn't go.However, it can also be seen that the selection of the firearms department is very particular, where is everyone?

Besides, the medical soldiers must have a diploma of second class or above, and the flag team is assigned to the bureau, and the last is a fourth-rank sergeant. This Hu Er doesn't look like it.

"It's just that I have a bad brain, and I can't always remember the sequence of those movements, so I finally got rid of it." Hu Er continued: "You don't know, the firecracker looks easy to put away, but it's actually hard to serve! Wrong It won’t work even if you take a step, maybe it will explode.”

"Then why aren't you a doctor?"

"Oh, I can't remember how to fire a firecracker, let alone save people? What kind of bandages are worn on any wounds, and how tight they are wrapped around a few times... Later, brother, I really didn't have the patience to learn, so I went down to the hospital. Joined the flag team and became a fire soldier." When Hu Er said that, he grinned, as if he had suffered a lot.

Wang Yi was quite curious, and asked, "What diploma do you have? Why have you learned so much?"

"I can't read a lot of big characters. What kind of diploma can I have? Alas, I just feel sorry for the instructor who came to teach me. That kid knelt on the ground and begged me, but what can I do? I can only tell him: It’s not that I don’t want to learn, brother, it’s just that I can’t learn it. Think about it, you can’t just learn how to farm and cultivate the land, let alone read and write? The training officer was fined into the palace because I was slow I went to carry the urinal. Oh, I cried so badly..." Hu Er shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, if it wasn't for my poor brain, I would still be a boss now!"

Wang Yi stopped and asked, "When did you join the army?"

"I was in the capital last year. At that time we lived in the palace!" Hu Er talked about the luxurious East Palace mansion, and he was even more frothy, gesticulating, from the vermilion walls and copper doors to the carved galleries and painted buildings, without noticing at all Wang Yi's face became paler and paler.

——Is this person left by General Xiao to sharpen me?

Wang Yi finally saw the high-hanging signboard of the car and horse dealership.

——You can go to the station by car here.

Wang Yi felt somewhat relieved.

"Stand here and wait for me. I'll come and buy a ticket." Hu Er said and ran to buy a ticket.

Wang Yi waited where he was, remembering that Hu Er was also going back together, and the previous sense of relief immediately dissipated without a trace.If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make any money, he really wished he could buy a ticket and escape instead of riding in the same car with Hu Er.

Wang Yi glanced at the carriages of the chariot and horse shop, and found that these carriages were all four-horse carts, and there were four wheels under the carriages.He has seen this kind of car before, it is the so-called Taiping car, but it doesn't seem to be able to travel long distances.

Because it is pulled too heavily, the axle is easy to break, and when it hits a bad place, the car suffers especially when it bumps.In the countryside, this kind of car is used for short-distance hauling goods, and many people would rather walk than take this car.

After a while, Hu Er came over with two bamboo sticks, handed one to Wang Yi, and said, "Here, this is our ticket, just give it to the coachman when you get there."

Wang Yi took the bamboo sticks and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to suffer in this car? Let's just walk back. It's only two hundred miles from Dezhou to Shenzhou."

"It's 240 miles!" Hu Er obviously refused to go, and had already stepped forward to ask the laborer to put the burden he was carrying on the roof of the car.

Seeing this, Wang Yi knew he had to get in the car.

The coachman on the side also yelled: "Strong horses and new cars~ Two steps faster to Shulu~ When the crowd is full, leave~"

After putting away his luggage, Hu Er stepped into the car, got into the compartment, and said, "Come up quickly! It's very dusty outside!"

As long as Wang Yi had to bite the bullet and get on the car, he felt the body of the car sink and almost jumped off again in fright. (To be continued.)
