Chapter Twenty-Four: The New Commander
Summer life is always so terrible, Xiang Xiaotian is the kind of typical fear of heat and not afraid of cold, because he can wear only a pair of underwear at night in the mountains and brave the cold wind to go to the toilet in the field, not all lazy, just like this cold feeling, of course, this is different from marching and training in the wind and snow for a long time.
The weather in June is already late summer on this mountain, because autumn and winter enter here in August and September, and summer is very short, but there are no less things in summer, such as mosquitoes.
This creature, which has no affection for human beings at all, challenges people's limits again and again.
With a "snap", he slapped Xiao Tian on the neck, leaving a small piece of blood, and he was sprinkling disinfectant into the toilet at this time.
"It's enough time to clean up the broken toilet and rebuild it!" At this time, he smelled the chemical smell all over the room, covered his mouth, and cursed in a low voice, what was even more difficult was that he didn't know where to start.
"Damn, the horse shed stinks to death, it's not as good as you have to have a toilet, we can get it!" It was Lin Jie who spoke, and when he saw him running in in a hurry, he unbuttoned his pants at the urinal.
Xiang Xiaotian immediately shouted to him: "Don't pee, hold back!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian continued to cover his mouth and shouted to Lin Jie: "Hurry up, get out, why didn't you say it earlier, I have sprinkled this thing, you only came over after being sinned for a long time, at least you still have a few people, I am here myself, I have the heart to dismantle him!" ”
Lin Jie said angrily: "Then where am I going?" The places I can see are basically being cleaned, the stones in the open space next to me are almost picked up, and the national flags on the mountain are almost painted, so I can't pee there! ”
Xiang Xiaotian said angrily: "I'll take care of you, anyway, it won't work here, no one can do it, I have to get it done in the morning, and the commander will come over in the afternoon, or I'm not the only one who won't die." ”
Lin Jie was helpless: "Damn, I'll go to the corner of the horse shed to pee!" ”
Yesterday evening, the new divisional commander was to inspect all border defense companies, and the fourth company was the first.
The others are not much better than Xiang Xiaotian and Lin Jie, because the houses on the mountain are in disrepair, so it doesn't look like an old problem, if the conditions allow, they have to be renovated and rebuilt, but there is no way, poor conditions, and poor sanitation are two different things, resulting in getting up early in the morning, except for those who perform various patrol tasks, everyone has begun to get busy.
The re-rubbing rocks were painted, the glass was wiped, the door frames were wiped, even the flagpoles were wiped to the limit with ladders, and even the slightly larger stones next to the yard were rolled to other places for the sake of looking comfortable.
And just like the border company logo that every border company has, there is a sign of a map or a national flag or something on the hillside, but the four companies don't have it, because the terrain is too poor.
There is no way, this time the new commander took office, maybe he only visited once in two or three years to catch up, so he had to pick the nearest hillside, put a red flag, and write Long live the motherland! Then spray lacquer, seen from a distance is really smelly.
After a morning of tossing and turning by all the staff, the whole yard really has a new feeling.
"I just don't know how long I'll be able to do this." Xiang Xiaotian came out of the canteen and walked to the toilet in the backyard, looked at the yard and said, his task during this time is to sit in front of the toilet with a small bench, and stop the toilet if he can't stop it, and if he can't afford it, he will quickly clean it up after they are convenient, until the first station inspection is completed.
Xiang Xiaotian sat by the toilet all afternoon, for him now, he no longer thought about whether it made sense to do these trivial things, but felt that it was a good thing to take a breath for himself, at least he didn't have to practice.
At noon, the instructor received a call from the division, saying that the chief's car had already left in the morning, and that it would arrive at about three or four o'clock at their speed, and that if it was too late to return, they might have to stay overnight, so that the company could make corresponding arrangements for reception.
The instructor arranged the bed arrangement of the class, and planned to give up the company dormitory to the chief, and he and the company commander went to the beds of the personnel who were on duty in each class to deal with each other for a night.
And the company commander has already begun to organize the afternoon training mission, so there is no way to let the chief come and see the soldiers cleaning.
It was almost evening and it was time for physical training, and the chief had not yet arrived, so he could only use this fully armed equipment to take an armed kilometer.
But when Xiang Xiaotian ran to the red star stone below, he saw a camouflage jeep, and knew that this was the head of the division, so he began to look at each other and look at the people next to him, and everyone understood, so they began to work harder, because no one wanted the chief to see his bear-like, especially the leader of the division.
A total of two camouflage cars, honking the horn to drive past this group of running soldiers, did not mean to stop, to the courtyard, in addition to the recruit company saw Chief of Staff Chen, there is also a thin, tall, white, white, and very elegant looking colonel, how can not be associated with the commander, but like a political commissar.
The instructor began to receive him, and the company commander, who usually had a serious face, didn't seem to be very good at dealing with his superiors, and at this time he was even more at a loss, standing awkwardly next to him!
"This is five kilometers of armament, the conditions are a little worse, but it is suitable for training, young man, how long have you used!" The commander looked up at the bumpy road ahead, and then asked Xiang Xiaotian, who had just entered the door and was panting with his hands on his knees.
"Report to the Commander, twenty-one minutes and thirty seconds!" Xiang Xiaotian made a military salute and said, he didn't dare to slack off in the face of the chief.
The commander smiled and nodded and asked, "Well, I see that you are a private, this result is very good, how is it, are you still comfortable in the mountains?" ”
Xiang Xiaotian immediately replied: "Report to the commander, no problem." ”
Without waiting for the commander to answer, Chief of Staff Chen next to him said: "I know this soldier, he is the only two undergraduates in our division, by the way, instructor, that college student is also in your company, you kid is lucky, a highly educated soldier like this must be trained well!" ”
"Yes, look at him also up, twenty-two minutes and forty seconds, this result is also very good, these two soldiers performed very well in the company, and they did not have the superiority of college students, but their training results were among the best among veterans." The instructor praised the soldiers he led, and did not hesitate to praise himself.
"That's good, our conditions are not very good, especially when I came here last month, I learned that our fourth company is the only one in the entire seven companies that cannot be ridden. This also increases the suffering of your mission, I came this time, one is to meet with the family, get familiar with the comrades-in-arms, the other is to see if there is anything that can help you, improve your living conditions, this time I found that there are really a lot of places needed, so I am basically clear about the situation here, I will not see all the soldiers, I am very satisfied with you, but because of the particularity of the tasks we perform, I know that there will be some omissions in training, so I will be more or less negligent in training, so I will be in July this year, We have arranged the stationing training of our division, I hope you will take this matter seriously, okay Chief of Staff, let's go first, don't disturb the training of the soldiers! After the commander finished speaking, he directly opened the car door and prepared to go down the mountain with the chief of staff.
At this time, there were still some soldiers on the mountain road who had not yet come up, brief condolences, and even the commander did not move a step when he got out of the car, and the company commander did not say a word, and Xiang Xiaotian has always maintained this upright posture.
"Damn, after a day of cleaning, I didn't even look at it, and I just left!" With a complaint in Xiang Xiaotian's heart, he knew: Today is over.
