Chapter 17: Arrival
Perhaps out of concern for making other recruits feel fair, although Shi Jin was really a little tired, he still refused Xiao Chen's help.
This lunch didn't go so smoothly, and a group of half-sized children who can usually eat poor Lao Tzu actually had a time when they didn't think about tea and dinner. The fragrant rice was placed in front of him, stunned with some tears, a salty and a light, and carefully chewed the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty in his mouth. It's like reminiscing about the pot burned on the earthen stove at home.
The train was about to enter the station, which meant that after a little while, Xiao Chen and the others would have to change to another car transporting equipment.
"Comrades, such a fragrant meal, if you don't finish it, it will be wasted. In a few minutes, as soon as the car is parked, we will have to change vehicles immediately. Everyone ate quickly, and it was easier to pack their belongings. Okay, don't cry. Listen to the words of the squad leader, when you arrive in the army, you have a big family. ”
Such comforts and urgings have been repeatedly said by Shi Jin, like spring breeze and rain.
The recruits were somewhat infected by the squad leader who had been taking care of them, and the speed of chewing in their mouths increased, and finally when the vehicle stopped, all the lunch boxes were put together, and they were taken by Shi Jin, and the recruits who were carrying luggage and backpacks got out of the car.
The equipment was delivered in brand new infantry vehicles, but they were covered in heavy military tarpaulins, and the recruits only saw a silhouette from afar, but they didn't even know what it was.
Compared with the green train with a few clear windows just now, the conditions of the military train transporting them this time were obviously a little worse. The light is dim and the smell is turbid, but even so, many recruits still do not forget to cry to fight against this strange and harsh environment. Until he was tired of crying and tired of crying, he leaned on the shoulders of others and fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Chen was also sleepy, and he didn't want to be nervous.
Maybe this sleep is the most stable and longest sleep before arriving in the army, and when you wake up, you should use blood and sweat to reinvent yourself. In this way, it means that a good sleep may be left forever. All nights, a part of the subconscious mind has to flow out to deal with the emergency assembly whistle that may sound at any time. This state is called combat readiness.
"Crunch, squeak, squeak......"
The harsh sound was accompanied by the inertia of the body moving forward, and when Xiao Chen opened his eyes, his body felt a little more vibrating.
The doors of the carriage were slowly opened from the outside to both sides, and the bright sunlight shone in, and it was still a little dazzling for a while. The recruits were a little nervous, but Shi Jin's gentle voice finally sounded again:
"Comrades, let's get to the station, pack our bags, and get ready to get off."
The lower edge of the carriage was more than a meter above the ground, and the recruits standing at the front were a little frustrated. They are watching, watching everything in the outside world, hoping to put their inner fears in a familiar environment, and strive to adapt as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, this is just a delusion after all.
A new environment means a strange one, and that's an eternal truth.
For example, the sound of the password is neater than they sing unity, such as the queue that is neater than them, and for example, the sound of the approaching roaring high-power engine.
Xiao Chen stood behind him, and he couldn't see the outside world clearly for a while. But he saw that at a certain moment, Xu Sanduo, who was standing on the side of the door, leaned back and waved his hands up, as if he was raising his hands and surrendering.
This has nothing to do with the ability to correct the plot, when Xiao Chen has no way to interfere, Xu Sanduo just sat near the door. He is also cowardly, and he has the greatest vigilance against the new environment, so he is also the most active in looking outward. Then, naturally, he crashed into the muzzle of the high company commander.
"That soldier, that soldier, you put your hands down."
The familiar voice of the senior company commander sounded, and his emotions were all revealed in that somewhat questioning tone:
"What are you doing? You think you're humorous? ”
Perhaps the tone was so majestic that the recruits who had been watching outside before the war all hung their heads, as if they had just made the same mistake as Xu Sanduo.
The majesty of Company Commander Gao seems to be inviolable and inviolable at this moment.
Xu Sanduo jumped out of the car in the scolding, but because he was too nervous, he couldn't even stand on his feet, and he fell into the arms of the high company commander. If it weren't for the solid basic skills of this company commander, I am afraid that just this one blow would make the two of them fall to the ground at the same time.
Xu Sanduo used his usual expressionless face to escape the reprimand in front of him, but unfortunately the company commander Gao really didn't seem to be interested in continuing to scold such a soldier. beckoned Shi Jin, and then didn't look at Xu Sanduo again, and the two walked forward and said something.
Naturally, under the urging of several veterans, the recruits fell to the ground like dumplings.
When everyone got out of the car, Gao Cheng also turned around, and after sorting out the queue, he began to introduce his current identity - recruit company, company commander.
In any case, Gao Cheng's military uniform, with golden epaulettes, really put the serious and tense atmosphere of the troops to the maximum. Although it was only a few simple words to introduce himself, the recruits seemed to have left a strict first impression in their hearts.
Xiao Chen kept looking at Gao Cheng.
This company commander, who has a very charismatic personality, is the core representative of the spirit of the Seventh Company of Steel. Every soldier of the Seventh Company of Steel is a seed carefully selected by him. He used all his heart and soul to nurture these seeds to grow into the pillars of the Steel Seventh Company.
For the sake of a squad leader, he can go to great lengths. For the sake of a good soldier, he can put down his dignity and beg everywhere.
Other companies, too, are good. The Red Third Company has a human touch everywhere, and He Hongtao, who is now the instructor of the recruit company, is also full of care for the soldiers. However, the Seventh Steel Company has a spirit firmly imprinted in its bones, which is beyond the reach of other companies of the 702nd Regiment.
"Unity is strength, unity is strength, and this strength is iron ......"
Company Commander Gao's speech ended quickly, and Shi Jin also finished wiping the 207 he regarded as a treasure. Dissatisfied with the dry walk of the company like this, Takashiro ordered the recruits to sing the only "unity" that could be sung.
Everyone's singing is not so standard, but when they come together, the sound is louder, and it actually has a little meaning.
Xiao Chen walked slowly in the queue, and everything in his field of vision was this recruit training base. Brick walls, camouflage, wires, this will be where they will sweat for the next three months.
The queue slowly walked through the gate of the recruit training base, and then, on an empty playground, the whole team stood still.
Immediately after, the figures of Gao Cheng and He Hongtao reappeared in front of them.
