The dark shadow looked around to make sure that no one was there, and then lowered his head and walked to a small low wall.

In the faint light, he solemnly saw that this black shadow was the same as him, they were all new recruits, wearing familiar winter training uniforms, carrying a backpack tied to a military uniform, carrying a military satchel around his waist, and a white towel uniformly distributed by the armed forces department on the right side of the shoulder belt.

The shadow looked down for a moment, picked up a few bricks from the ground, looked at them in the faint moonlight, and finally picked up one of them and tapped it lightly.

Click-

The bricks snapped.

The black shadow nodded slightly, his face was happy, and he said to himself, "That's right." ”

After that, he took the two bricks in his hand and walked away happily.

When the others were gone, they solemnly came out of the corner and walked to the low wall with a full stomach.

There was a mess of bricks on the ground, and nothing else.

Solemnly picked up a brick and knocked it on the low wall in the same way as a black shadow.

The damp brick broke in two without much effort.

"What a broken brick!"

Zhuang Yan couldn't understand why the black shadow came here to get bricks, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore, went back to the base of the warehouse wall and continued to release water, and after finishing it, he returned to the edge of the platform and lit a cigarette, and then walked leisurely towards the center of the small station.

When I arrived at the meeting point, I saw from a distance that countless people had gathered there, at least two hundred recruit eggs were gathered together, just like the aunt who was rushing to the market surrounded the promotion booth.

Some of the recruits who couldn't squeeze in outside were tiptoeing, some were running and jumping, and some were desperately squeezing in, all kinds of strange movements.

"He Huan, what are you looking at?" Zhuang Zhuang found He Huan in the crowd, grabbed the other party and asked.

He Huan stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe to look at the center of the crowd, and said, "I don't know, I just arrived." ”

The solemn interest suddenly came up, and he liked to be lively the most.

"Let's go, go in and have a look!"

After that, he repeated the old trick again, and shouted loudly: "Be careful of boiling water, be careful of boiling water!" Get out of the way, get out of the way! ”

Then, before the startled recruits came to their senses, they squeezed in like loaches.

The two of them proudly got into the front of the circle, and they didn't care that someone was scolding their mother behind them, so they didn't hear it.

An open space of about 30 square meters has been vacated in the center of the circle surrounded by the crowd, and several cadres who receive troops are standing aside with great interest.

In the central clearing, a recruit is boxing.

This recruit has a sturdy body, vigorous movements, and vigorous boxing skills, and it seems that he has been practiced.

When he saw the face of the new recruit, he was solemnly surprised.

"Isn't this the guy who picked up the bricks just now?"

Looking at the ground again, sure enough, there were two red bricks not far away.

"This guy...... Hum! ”

The solemn brain is not stupid, and at a glance, he knows what the other party wants to do, and he can't help but sneer secretly.

After a set of punches, the sweaty recruits closed their fists, and a cadre with a captain took the lead in applauding.

The applause around him sounded like a tide, and the recruit in the center of the field took off his training hat, wiped a handful of sweat from his hairline, blushed, and bowed his hand to the surrounding crowd with some pride, making a very charlatan gesture.

"Not bad, not bad! It's a bit of a good thing to be a soldier! ”

He waved his hand and said loudly, "Do you still want to see it?!" ”

"I want to see it!"

"I want to see it!"

"One more!"

solemnly noticed that the most cheerful were the female soldiers I had seen at the door of the toilet just now.

The captain said to the boxing recruit: "Xu Xingguo, one more!" Show all the new comrades what you're capable of! ”

The captain was obviously very familiar with this recruit called Xu Xingguo, and solemnly felt that this should be the receiving cadre responsible for leading that batch of recruits.

"Yes! I promise to get the job done, chief! ”

Xu Xingguo was a little proud, and when he was happy, he gave a crooked military salute.

"Tut-tut!" Zhuang Zhuang couldn't help but think disdainfully: "I really take myself seriously, isn't this cheating......"

He suddenly understood why Xu Xingguo went to the warehouse and why he took away two moldy bricks.

Looks like the next show is coming.

Xu Xingguo picked up the two bricks from the ground, on the surface, the cleaned bricks were no different from ordinary fire bricks, and only the people present understood what he was going to do.

Sure enough, Xu Xingguo, who was in the field, turned his training hat back, reversed the brim of the hat, and then picked up the bricks on the ground, took a horse step with care, shouted, held the brick in one hand, clenched his fist in the other, did a few exercises, and then swung out with a punch.

Smack-

With a muffled sound, the brick snapped.

Without waiting for the recruits to cheer, Xu Xingguo picked up the brick on the ground again, pressed it on the broken half of the brick on the ground, and split it with his hand.

Smack-

The brick was broken in two.

The recruits around them clapped their palms like chicken blood and cheered.

Zhong Shan, the receiving cadre on the solemn side, glanced at the captain enviously and said: "Yes, Lao Li, you have picked up a good soldier this time, this soldier can go to the reconnaissance company!" ”

"Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." The captain smiled: "I told our battalion commander a long time ago, if you want to go, you will go to our eighth company." ”

The captain's name is Li Ding, and he is the veteran deputy company commander of the third battalion and eight companies, and he has participated in the battle of the two mountains, and he is a real heroic veteran.

The third battalion and the eighth company are heroic companies, which have been awarded the title of "Iron Eighth Company" by the headquarters, and are well-known top companies in the regiment.

Li Ding asked Zhong Shan again: "This time, I heard that you went to a developed coastal city to pick up troops, which is much better than me going to the mountains to pick up troops, right?" ”

"Cough-" Referring to this batch of soldiers, thinking of the group of city soldiers he received this time, Zhong Shan's face turned green.

Zhong Shan is a child of a peasant family, and subconsciously he has some prejudice against urban soldiers.

In his opinion, the city soldiers are just coming to the army to gild, because of policy issues, they go back to have a job placement, it is an iron rice bowl, so no one wants to suffer too much in the army, and one by one when the military service expires, they slip faster than rabbits, and no one wants to stay in the army to work.

However, the soldiers from the rural areas are different, and the life of the troops is already very good for them, and most of them are willing to work in the army for the rest of their lives, so they naturally have to endure more hardships and stand hard work in training than the urban soldiers.

Seeing that Zhong Shan's face was darker than the gray at the bottom of the stove, Li Ding could guess the reason with his toes, he stretched out his hand and patted Zhong Shan's shoulder proudly: "It's okay, maybe there is gold you haven't found yet." ”

"Come on, it's nice to have a piece of iron!" Zhong Shan's face darkened.

Li Ding became more and more proud, turned back to the group of soldiers received by Zhong Shan and shouted: "Our new comrades in Nanyue Province, who will come out and show their hands!" ”

The solemn batch are all coastal city soldiers, to put it bluntly, none of them can fight, let alone use their fists to open bricks, and none of them will be able to fight the long fist that Xu Xingguo played just now.

The team on Zhongshan's side suddenly fell silent.

A smug expression appeared on the face of the recruit from Ganxi Province, and he looked at the recruit opposite with joy.

The Nanyue soldiers lowered their heads one by one, and their hearts were terrible, they were all eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys, and their blood was not much colder than boiling water, but their skills were not as good as others. Let's box, it's okay to fool around, it's hard work to open bricks, not that you can solve the problem by courage.

"Some people believe in the tricks of the rivers and lakes, these days, there are really many liars, and there are not enough fools......" solemnly hid in the team and couldn't help but sneer.

His voice was not loud, but it blew into everyone's ears with the cold wind.

Several of the officers in charge of receiving the troops turned their eyes to the place where the voice came.

"Who?!" Li Ding's face turned up, "Who was talking just now?" If you have the ability, you are welcome to come out and perform! ”

Solemnly whispered a few words in He Huan's ear, then pursed his lips, took a step forward, and said in a cowardly tone: "Report to the chief, I am not yin and yang, I can also open bricks." ”

After Zhong Shan saw that the person who came out was solemn, he was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but scold: "Solemn, you are messing around!" ”
