Chapter 14: The Next Company
Chapter 14 Lower Company
Zhu Xiangjun heard the whistle of the assembly coming from downstairs, which was the last gathering of the recruit company. I quickly checked to see if I had forgotten anything, and then ran downstairs as fast as I could.
At this time, I heard that Li Chengming behind him was still urging Luo Xiaowei and Chen Darong to hurry up.
Zhu Xiangjun was the first to run downstairs. The company commander stood on the steps downstairs. looked at Zhu Xiangjun's sharp appearance, and said; "It's still Comrade Zhu Xiangjun, and the action is fast."
The instructor looked at the company commander and joked; "Such a good soldier is about to come to our command company. You don't have a few good soldiers in your artillery company! ”
The company commander joked: "Instructor, what is the recruit company." It's all new recruits here, and it's normal to be outstanding. But when it comes to the veteran company, it's different. I hope that Comrade Zhu Xiangjun can still excel. ”
The company commander said as he looked at Zhu Xiangjun again. That sounds. It seems to be said to the instructor and Zhu Xiangjun.
The instructor also looked at Zhu Xiangjun and said with a smile: "Company commander! Please rest assured, I guarantee that Comrade Xiao Zhu is still top-notch. This is also like saying it to Zhu Xiangjun, not to the company commander.
At this time, all the recruits were assembled in front of the building.
"All of them are there, stand upright, keep up with the right, look forward, and report the number ---" The platoon commander on duty quickly integrated the team and reported to the company commander: "Comrade company commander, all the recruits have been assembled, please instruct"
"Take a break!" The company commander stood in front of all the recruits.
"Tell me, take a break! Now the life of your recruit company is coming to an end. It's going to the old company. These three months are hard, but they are only a prelude to your enlistment. The real life in the barracks begins after the company is lowered. I hope you don't care about this prelude. It doesn't matter if you beat it up or not! When you arrive at the old company, you must continue to work hard and do a good job in military training to become a qualified soldier. ”
After the company commander finished speaking, he asked the instructor to speak.
"Comrades! You've worked hard. We spent three months together. There are happy things in life and there are unpleasant things, but these are in the past. In the end, we still have to go to the old company, which is where we really come into play, and I hope that from the first day of the company, you will perform well in all aspects and show the officers and men of the old company the demeanor of our new recruits. ”
After the instructor finished speaking, he saluted everyone, and then asked each squad leader to walk towards the old company with the recruits from all over the company.
Li Chengming now took Zhu Xiangjun, Chen Darong and Luo Xiaowei, and some recruits from other command companies to a four-story building next to the main road. The command company has four floors because it has a battalion headquarters, and the other artillery companies have only three floors.
Zhu Xiangjun saw that this was still a fairly beautiful new building that he was familiar with before he was reborn. The walls are pink. The railings in the stairway are yellow. There are also two flower ponds in front of the building. Inside are some camellias. It's just that it's winter and there's only one green leaf. There is no flowering. But it also seems very spiritual.
In front of the building there was also a large lawn with a rectangular sand pit, which of course was the company's equipment yard. There is also a running track and a wooden horse on the lawn, which of course is trained for vaulting.
Zhu Xiangjun looked at everything familiar in front of him, and he was a little excited. Although he has been reborn in the barracks for three months. But that was only in the recruit company. Not yet to the old company. Now that's the real "home". It is possible to live in this place for the next three years, maybe many years.
"It's all there! Attention! Zhu Xiangjun is reminiscing. I heard Li Chengming assembling the team. After a while, I saw a captain officer coming down from the upper floor.
Li Chengming looks so familiar at first glance, isn't this Company Commander Hu of the old company who has lived with him for three years! Although Company Commander Hu is not the image of a soldier as we ordinary people imagine, he is not so tall and mighty. Although it is a little thin, it has the temperament of a soldier. There is still the demeanor of a soldier between the gestures.
"Report to the company commander! All the recruits in our company have been assembled, please instruct. Li Chengming stood up and saluted and reported back to the company commander.
"Take a break!"
"Tell me! At ease! Everybody's worked hard. The training life of the recruit company is over. You're all back. From now on. This is your home. We're going to live here for at least three years. I hope we can all live happily and grow and improve during these three years. Alright, let's go back to class and take a break! Wait for dinner and we'll meet in the conference room in the afternoon. Let's talk to you again.
After the company commander finished speaking, he went to the cafeteria. Zhu Xiangjun and his recruits went to their new class dormitory under the leadership of their respective squad leaders.
Li Chengming took Zhu Xiangjun, Chen Darong and Luo Xiaowei to the fourth class dormitory on the third floor. Coincidentally, Zhu Xiangjun is in the fourth squad in the recruit company, and now he is still in the fourth squad in the old company.
In fact, it's strange to say, when they arrived at this fourth class, they all felt strange. For what they will have so many fours, if from the top. They should be four regiments, four battalions, four companies, two platoons, and four squads. Only that platoon is not four. This was mainly because they commanded the company to attack three platoons and nine squads. Seventy or eighty people. This is not much less than the infantry company, of course.
When the recruit company was about to leave the company, Li Chengming told all the recruits in the class. When I arrived at the old company, I saw all the veterans, and I had to call them squad leaders. No matter what military rank it is, whether it is a squad leader or not, it must be called a squad leader. It's a sign of respect for veterans. It is also a tradition of the troops.
Of course, Zhu Xiangjun is very clear about these. I have long understood some of the habits of this unit. And these veterans are also old acquaintances for him. He knew who they were.
Now there are three veterans of the fourth class. They are called Gao Qiang, Chen Yibing, and Wu Dayong.
Gao Qiang and Chen Yibing are from this province. Just in their respective different cities. Wu Dayong is a native of a city in Hunan Province.
All three were second-year veterans with the rank of senior private.
