Chapter 10: Four Companies
The soldiers got out of the car in an orderly manner after hearing the password, at this time they had been honing from the recruit company for three months, and everyone knew the rules of the army very well, knowing that even if it was a casual word from an ordinary veteran, it was an order that could not be disobeyed.
The soldiers who had not fully woken up were stunned by the 'scenery' in front of them when they got out of the car:
A playground like a small school in the countryside, a simple basketball court next to it that can't even be seen on the ground, a row of square rooms in the middle, a few simple sports equipment on the right wall, and a five-star red flag fluttering in the middle, it stands to reason that it is normal for the troops to be like this, nothing better than the recruit company, but the scenery of the head is very different, behind the camp is a snow-capped mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, the left and right are black and white and empty and indistinguishable from the ground and ice, and there is a muddy and rugged path at the door, Obviously, the car is driven from this path, at this time everyone began to be afraid, fortunately I didn't see the road just now, if you don't take the car on this kind of road, you have to cry, although it is not a cliff next to it, but to roll down, it will take several hours to get to the end.
Although the scenery is very magnificent, but at this moment, looking at the snow-capped mountains behind them, and everything around them, these recruits are almost crying.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, the second-stage non-commissioned officer with a cigarette in his mouth said impatiently in the face of these recruits: "Okay, okay, don't be in a daze." Hurry up and help unload the car, it's all your stuff, I'm going to rest, and I have to rush back tomorrow morning. ”
While everyone was stunned, a few soldiers in yellow camouflage coats came out of a dilapidated looking room, led by a lieutenant who arrived before he arrived: "Oh, squad leader Tian can look forward to you, I brought cigarettes, and the new training has made us miserable during this time." By the way, Xu Feng, you go and bring the recruits to the entrance of the company department, divide them into shifts according to the instructor's arrangement, and the rest of the people will move things with me."
The driver, who was called Tian squad leader, saw the cadres coming, and took out his cigarette butts with a standard military salute: "Platoon Commander Zhuo, there is no way, the old and the new are alternated, and we are not enough manpower. And I also got you a few boxes of instant noodles, there are so many flavors that can be changed on the mountain, so it's good for the brothers to taste fresh. ”
Platoon Commander Zhuo said: "You're welcome, you go take a hot bath, the heating is very hot, and the brothers in the boiler room have specially boiled water for you!" ”
Tian squad leader said: "Then I'll go over first, this road is not easy to drive!" ”
After saying that, they walked to the back door next to the house very easily, and the soldiers also began to unload the supplies quickly and orderly.
On Xiang Xiaotian's side, all the soldiers were carrying bags and bags, obviously not used to the temperature on the mountain, and everyone was shivering. And the squad leader Xu seemed to be going to give these recruits who had just gone up the mountain a dismount, holding the distribution table in his hand, and just looked at it without speaking.
Every recruit has already scolded the non-commissioned officer in front of him thoroughly!
Platoon Commander Zhuo saw that the team had not moved for a long time and said, "Hey, Xu Feng hurriedly divided the shift, why are you standing stupidly, it's not cold!" ”
"Received, Zhao Wen class 1, Jiang Hu class 2, Xiang Xiaotian class 4, Wan Hong class 7, Lin Jie class 7 ......" Hearing the platoon commander's words, this Xu squad leader began to read the list loudly, and at this time, it was already night.
Each soldier assigned to the squad quickly returned to his squad to make his bed according to the instructions, but many people returned to the squad empty, and there was no sign of free movement in the squad at this time, only the quilt on the bed was still a tofu block, and the sheets did not have a trace of wrinkles, and many people made their beds with this strangeness and sat on the small bench, watching all this, waiting for the next order.
Xiang Xiaotian's class was different, as soon as he entered the door, a dark-skinned second-stage non-commissioned officer greeted him with a smile: "Oh, the new comrade is here!" Everybody's coming to help, huh? Why is it just one person?"
Xiang Xiaotian put down his bag and gave a military salute: "Report to the squad leader, just me!" ”
The second non-commissioned officer bowed his head and sighed: "Ahem! And only one of them, every time it's like this, I'm in the eighth year, and I've only given two of them two times or three times, okay, it's a brother when you come. Pack up your things first and warm up, I'll introduce you later, Lao Tian's kid is crazy to drive, but he doesn't have the skills to say, look at your faces are just frightened! ”
This squad leader's speech gave Xiang Xiaotian a very enthusiastic feeling, just like a big brother, and because of a few words, he warmed up a lot in this cold night.
Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaotian responded with a smile: "Actually, no, we were all asleep just now, and when I got out of the car, I looked back at the road conditions and frightened me!" ”
The squad leader smiled and nodded: "Hehe, I am the same year as him, that kid's skills are much better than we imagined, don't look at that hanging sample, the division has several emergency transportation tasks, and the technology has stunned the division chief!" Okay, don't stand, hey, a few of you, help the new comrades sort it out, by the way, my name is Li Jun, and I am the leader of our fourth squad! After speaking, he hurriedly helped Xiang Xiaotian clean up.
However, Xiang Xiaotian can feel that when Li Jun talks about squad leader Tian, it is definitely not a simple compliment, but a heartfelt pride that he thinks he has such a comrade-in-arms!
Soon, everything to Xiang Xiaotian was sorted out in an orderly manner, and he couldn't see any difference with the supplies of the veterans next to him, and then everyone sat together and chatted, I don't know if the soldiers are all self-cooked, or because of the reason that there is such a cheerful squad leader, Xiang Xiaotian has no kind of restraint from the recruit company, and others don't treat him as a recruit to see him like a recruit company.
On the contrary, they knew that he was a college student soldier and was willing to come to this kind of mountain, and they were also willing to listen to him talk about the outside world, because they had not been in contact with the outside society for too long, and Wu Ying, the deputy squad leader, had not even gone down the mountain for a whole year.
Although Xiang Xiaotian usually doesn't like to talk much, he is also a person who never stops nagging with his mother Shen Dan in his bones, and looking at these simple soldiers, he also began to talk endlessly about the changes in the current society.
Happy time always flies so quickly, accompanied by bursts of laughter in the class, a short whistle sounds.
"Assemble, late roll call! Assemble, roll call late! A neutral voice shouted twice.
In less than thirty seconds, the well-dressed soldiers had quickly stood on the playground, and compared with the huge team of the recruit company, there were very few people here, only a few dozen, and some people were even thinking: Is there really a situation to deal with such a few people!
"Report to the platoon commander that the fourth company of the border defense has been assembled, it should be eighty-two, but it is forty-nine, two sentries, and thirty-one people are on duty, please instruct after the report is completed!"
"Take a break"
"Yes, take a break!"
"Hello new comrades, I am Yuan Hui, the leader of the platoon! Because of manpower reasons, all the company commanders and instructors have gone on their missions, and I will take the welcome speech on my behalf. Everyone must be very curious, why many classes are empty and empty, in fact, many days in your next military career are the same as today! Our task is very simple, but also very arduous, there is no field troops that charge all day training, there is no special training like television, and even as a unit our training is very little, some are just patrolling in this boundless snowy mountain, silently patrolling our border line, looking at the western gate of our motherland, this regiment has a total of seven border defense companies, the defense line is 721 kilometers, we are responsible for 106 kilometers, each time about a platoon is divided into two directions, it is winter, It can be at least two or three days a day, and you are not sure if you can even come back in case of bad situations, and I don't mean to scare you, because the task you will face next is much more difficult than you think. Your squad leaders will also quickly familiarize you with all this, you must quickly keep up with the rhythm of the company, master the necessary basic skills, so that there will be no mistakes in the follow-up work, and the speech is finished! After that, it was a beautiful military salute.
With the completion of the report of the duty officer, the first day of the border defense company ended like this.
