Volume 1 Enlistment Training Chapter 27 Missing Recruits

The sweat on the body can't be volatilized, and eventually the temperature of the body evaporates little by little, and the sweat is naturally not pure water, and the things left after the water evaporation are mixed with the dust drilled into the training process, accumulated for a week, and then interacts with the new sweat and skin, and continues to ferment, the smell is ...... Niu Zhiyuan will never forget that when all the recruits were in a small bathhouse for the first time, they were a little shy and stripped naked under the scolding of the squad leader...... I really suspect that he was attacked by chemical weapons. Needless to say, he was nauseous and nauseous, and Hou Jiangtao vomited on the spot, which caused the recruits to clean the bathhouse for an hour in the third shift.

Hou Jiangtao, who originally developed good hygiene habits since childhood, thought that since I can only take a bath once a week, then I can wash my close-fitting autumn clothes frequently! It's a pity that this is just Hou Jiangtao's delusion. Because, on the one hand, he simply did not have the time and strength to wash his clothes from Monday to Friday; On the other hand, I don't know which leader set this kind of rule that is suspected of formalism, in order to keep the camp neat and orderly, washing clothes can only be washed on weekends.

As a result, each recruit's close-fitting autumn coat became wet and wet, and the cycle was repeated......

……

……

The bathhouse has limited sprinklers, and can only handle the number of recruits at a maximum of one company at a time, and it is also two people sharing a sprinkler head. According to Huang Jianjun's rules, the recruits share a sprinkler head in the upper and lower bunks of the third shift, so Niu Zhiyuan and Hou Jiangtao are together every time they take a bath.

There are regulations in the regiment that each company can't take a shower for more than half an hour, and the recruit company can't do anything special. Niu Zhiyuan was naturally embarrassed to monopolize the sprinkler, but in the end, the two performed a mutual courtesy, very friendly and harmonious bathing process, and each class bathed basically together, so Huang Jianjun saw Niu Zhiyuan and Hou Jiangtao's 'friendly' bath, and praised the two when the whole team gathered after taking a bath.

Today is cloudy, there is no sun, and the weather is extremely cold, so when he came back from the bathhouse and entered the company barracks, Niu Zhiyuan found that a layer of frost appeared on his undried short hair and eyebrows in the plastic surgery mirror at the entrance of the company, which really startled him, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Look, our heads are frozen, ah...... Ice is dead, squad leader ......"

"What's the fuss, hurry up and put the things down to wash the clothes, otherwise it will be too late to go and there will be no place in the water room." Without waiting for the other recruits to echo, Huang Jianjun touched Niu Zhiyuan's head and stuffed it into his neck casually.

But compared to the coldness on his neck at this time, Niu Zhiyuan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of putting his hands in cold water to scrub his clothes later. It's not that there is no hot water in the troops, the problem is that everyone has to wash their clothes, and how can they supply it.

However, compared to the pain of washing clothes in cold water, after dinner, the recruits finally ushered in a good thing——— watching a movie.

In the winter, the military movies are generally shown in the auditorium, although there is heating here, but the effect is not very good, so the recruit camp requires the recruits to wear coats, which is very warm.

But because it's so warm, it doesn't matter at all what the movie is about for the recruits. Because not long after the movie opened, the recruits sitting in the dimly lit auditorium fell asleep one by one because they were very tired and seriously lacked sleep, no matter how loud the guns in the movie were, it was difficult to wake them up.

Although Niu Zhiyuan slept very deeply, he still felt in a daze that Hou Jiangtao, who was sitting on his right, seemed to get up and go to the toilet, as for whether he came back later, until the end of the movie, he was woken up by Xia Junhao from the shoulder, and then followed the team out of the auditorium in a daze, and he didn't notice it when he gathered.

At the entrance of the auditorium, the platoon commanders or platoon attendants of each recruit platoon are beckoning the recruits of their platoon to assemble.

"Row by row, gather here, hurry up, run."

Niu Zhiyuan walked out of the auditorium, was blown by the cold wind, and then completely sobered up, and then ran behind Xia Junhao's ass following the voice of the platoon commander Wang Yang.

"Stand upright!"

"Look to the right ......"

"Count!"

“1,2,3…… Missing one. The recruits of the first column counted with a quarrelsome howl, and the last of the last column was at the end.

"Hey, there is a lack of one person, each squad leader takes a look at his class, which class is still missing." Today's platoon attendant is Huang Jianjun, the third squad leader.

"One shift is here."

"The second shift is here."

"Four shifts are here."

"Five shifts are here."

There were five squads in one platoon, and the other four squad leaders quickly identified their soldiers and reported them one by one. When Huang Jianjun heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he counted his soldiers, and sure enough, there was a lack of recruits in his class, and the lack of soldiers was the soldier he had always been the most worried about——— Hou Jiangtao.

Under the biting cold wind, Huang Jianjun and Wang Yang glanced at each other, thought of a certain possibility, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Niu Zhiyuan, you and Hou Jiangtao are sitting together, do you know where he went?" Huang Jianjun looked at him with a serious demeanor that Niu Zhiyuan had never seen before, and asked sharply.

Niu Zhiyuan remembered that when he first went to education, the instructor had learned the relevant content of the "Military Service Law" for everyone, and at that time he specifically mentioned that desertion is very serious, and those who have more than three times or accumulate more than a certain number of days will be punished by law. Afterwards, Xia Junhao secretly told Niu Zhiyuan that every year in the army, there are recruits who can't endure hardship, secretly escape and then be caught, and those who are short and lighter in nature will be dealt with in accordance with the specific provisions of the disciplinary order, and those who have escaped for more than a month or more than three times will be sentenced in accordance with the Military Service Law.

Therefore, at this time, witnessing the nervous looks that the squad leader and platoon commander have never had, coupled with Hou Jiangtao's abnormality today and even in the past few days, Niu Zhiyuan vaguely understood that Hou Jiangtao might have really escaped and become a disgraced deserter.

"Hou Jiangtao must be found back as soon as possible, otherwise Hou Jiangtao will be ruined for the rest of his life." Niu Zhiyuan muttered to himself in his heart.

The thoughts flew in his mind, and Niu Zhiyuan said: "Squad leader, Hou Jiangtao said that he went to the toilet in the middle of watching the movie, and later ...... I fell asleep, so I didn't notice if he came back. ”

"You must have to ask me for leave when you go to the toilet, why don't I ......" Before he finished speaking, Huang Jianjun suddenly stopped, because he also fell asleep while watching a movie today.
