The garrison of the 9th Battalion of the Engineering is very large, some of them are actually located on the halfway up the mountainside of about 300 meters, and the wooden houses, tents and grass huts appear and disappear in the dense bushes, and the camp at the very edge of the halfway up the mountain has been shrouded in a mist, which looks very poetic, but when the recruits enter the camp, their hopes are shattered.

It was so hot and stuffy that if there was still a little wind on the road, there was no wind in the camp, and what was even more terrifying was that the officers and soldiers he saw were all dressed tightly, and several of them were covered with cloths on their faces, covering themselves almost like masked thieves.

Dressed so much, their bodies are all wet.

"Come on in!" A non-commissioned officer with a masked face named Zhang Jin led them into the camp headquarters, which was a large wooden house that had been built, and the door was covered by a thick curtain, covering the entire door, and Sergeant Zhang lifted the curtain and greeted: "Come in!" ”

Qiu Fengji smelled a very strong smell of wormwood, and they entered the wooden house with a group of recruits, and the non-commissioned officer took off his face towel and gasped heavily.

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Sergeant Zhang explained: "We have just provoked a big mosquito nest, mosquitoes are coming all over the place, beating us to the ground, and nearly a hundred people have been lying in the camp!" ”

The faces of the recruits turned white at once, and the non-commissioned officer realized that he was speaking too directly, and said with a dry smile: "As long as you protect like me, you'll be fine." ”

Yes, it is not bitten by insects, but the body is soaking wet and emitting a sour smell!

The room was very spacious, and three times as many recruits could be accommodated, and the soldiers in the room were not dressed as tightly as non-commissioned officers, they wore short-sleeved uniforms, and there were pots of burning things in the four corners of the room, I don't know what it was, and the smell of wormwood came from there, which made the room even more stuffy, even though the windows were screens.

They had just put their luggage down when a soldier came out of the back room.

"You've got them, well done!" The middle-aged officer who was carrying two bars and one star said, his face was pale and he didn't seem to be in good spirits.

"This is our battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Ruoshan, these are recruits!" Sergeant Zhang said, handing Lieutenant Colonel Liu a list.

The recruits saluted him together, and he returned a salute, and then the whole team called him on the spot.

The first time they arrived, the recruits were in high spirits and responded loudly, which made Lieutenant Colonel Liu very satisfied.

"Take the kids to dinner, and we'll assign them a place to go when we come back!" Lieutenant Colonel Liu instructed.

When the recruits left the battalion headquarters, they heard what seemed to be a fierce dispute inside---- when the recruits arrived, the officers of all companies rushed to want it, and naturally they quarreled.

The canteen in the camp is bigger than the battalion headquarters, the outside looks very magnificent, the stools and square tables are in good order, obviously handmade by the troops, very rough, quite sturdy, this is the characteristics of the army in the southeast province, and the best building in the camp is definitely the canteen!

In Yan Dashao's eyes, an excellent army logistics is the strong backing of the troops, giving the soldiers sufficient physical strength, so that they can train with peace of mind and work hard for him.

I don't know how this boss came up with his thoughts, but I have to say that many officers and soldiers in the army can go out to eat during the holidays, and they still stay in the camp canteen to solve the problem of eating.

The army of the southeast province is an extremely stable and loyal army, there are few deserters, and there is no rebellion, some brick families who study the military history of the southeast province believe that the success of the southeast province to buy the stomachs of the soldiers is one of the important reasons!

Every year, the military units also send cooks to the battlefield to test their cooking skills, exchange experience, and improve their ability to cook, and the military academy has established a specialty for training military cooks.

Before the meal arrived, the recruits ate freshly made knife-cut noodles that day!

The non-commissioned officer in charge of the stove performed a unique skill, he opened the knife on the spot, held the kneaded dough with his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, and the gesture was extremely flexible, facing the soup pot, click, click, click, a knife to catch a knife, cut out the face leaves, a leaf and a leaf, just like a meteor catching the moon, drawing an arc-shaped white line in the air, almost uninterrupted noodles fell into the soup pot, the soup rolled over the noodles, and it was like a whitebait playing in the water, it was very good-looking, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

The hot noodle soup is put into the bowl, that is, poured on the fragrant Zhenzi, the practice of the Zhenzi is not difficult, that is, the meat is diced, and various seasonings are added to the freshly picked fragrant wild vegetables, leek flowers, mung bean sprouts, ginger, green onions, garlic, as well as pepper, Sichuan pepper and stir-fried, dripping with a few drops of sesame oil, and then dripping with some old vinegar, very delicious, fragrant.

Each person also has a handful of cooked vegetables over the water, plus a poached egg, which is nutritious.

The recruits buried their faces in their bowls, and the soup and water were all gone!

Don't underestimate this bowl of noodle soup!

Rich in connotation and very expensive!

Meat is a luxury in many places, and many people can only eat a little meat during the Chinese New Year.

Pepper, it's spice, hehe, a tael of spices for a tael of silver!

Sesame oil, many places can't afford to eat oil, eat lard, vegetable oil is good, sesame oil is the enjoyment of the landlord's old wealth!

Poached eggs, many mainlanders in the Chongzhen period can't afford to eat tea eggs is definitely true, here is an egg for every soldier, Yan Dashao has specially instructed "must have a steamed egg or pure fried eggs per person, do not make egg fried vegetables", he is in case there is a black-hearted secretary to deduct the nutrition of the soldiers!

And don't forget, this is Southeast Asia, thousands of miles away from the mainland!

Knife-cut noodles are a northern recipe, but there is a reason why they are so popular in as far away as Southeast Asia.

The climate here is hot all year round, you kill a pig in the morning to cook, and the pork that can't be eaten will definitely stink in the afternoon!

Pork that has been left for an hour has developed a peculiar smell, and pork that has been left for two hours is completely inedible!

There is no refrigerator to preserve, and the pork is made into a zizi, due to the protection of seasonings, it still has a long shelf life at high temperatures, and the pork is processed into a zizi and sealed in the jar, which can be stored for a relatively long time, so that it has become popular in the troops stationed in Southeast Asia in the southeast province, and the benefits of the pin are not only noodles, but also often used for stir-frying, instead of the role of fresh shredded meat foam, after all, you can't kill pigs every day, far better than the navy's dry salted meat that can smash people.

This large bowl of noodles made the recruits feel that they could kill a lot of mosquitoes, and they returned to the battalion headquarters to listen to orders.

They were received by Chen Yalong, the deputy battalion commander, who showed the map and introduced the situation of the ninth battalion of the project.

The island of Java is very backward, full of primeval forests, and the environment is extremely harsh, so the 9th Engineering Battalion carried out the order of the military headquarters to complete the development of the swamp and then handed it over to the local government.

Sergeant Zhang announced the company where the recruits went, and read Qiu Fengji's name, and he was assigned to work in the "correctional platoon" of the third company.

Strange unit names! What could it be?
