If there is anything to describe the scenery in front of you, I am afraid that there is only "the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep".

The north wind is howling, and the cold is blowing on the face like a knife, and the snow and ice ballast can still be seen on the Inner Mongolia grassland in April.

Middle of nowhere.

When I looked up, I couldn't find a single figure.

According to the old squad leader, there are only two kinds of people who appear here, one is the troops for the exercise, and the other is the herdsmen.

"Ah......h

Zhang Junbao stood on the grassland and roared loudly, as if he had seen what he would look like in the next two years: staying alone on the deserted grassland until he was discharged from the army.

What did you do as a soldier for?

For this reason, Zhang Junbao has asked himself countless times in his heart, but he has never been able to get an answer.

He was not a good soldier, and this result was recognized by the recruit company.

During the three-month recruit company training, none of his military training results met the standards, and in the final recruit assessment, his squad leader even hid his name and included him in the list of cooks in the cooking class.

His instructor had said that he should be glad that the regiment's farm had been closed in previous years, or he would have been sent to feed the pigs.

This story of feeding pigs later became a joke in the recruit company, and Zhang Junbao, as the protagonist, naturally became the "waste" in the mouth of his comrades. ”

If there is anything that Zhang Junbao, a three-month recruit, has gained, it is that his weight has decreased from 200 kilograms to 180 kilograms.

He can't forget the little squad leader Zhou Tao from the Northeast, who trained in the recruit company for three months, and the squad leader turned him from a student to a soldier.

But only became a military man in military uniform, and not a "qualified" military man.

"If you put on a military uniform, you are not a qualified soldier, a real soldier should be bloody and dare to fight, not you are so bad!"

The squad leader would always scold him when he was angry, and sometimes take him to a small dark room or the edge of the training ground to beat him.

"A good soldier has to be trained," this is the military code pursued by Zhou Tao!

Because of the matter of beating recruits, Zhou Tao was punished, but he did not change until he was discharged from the army.

On the day the recruits left the company, Zhang Junbao stood on the playground and waited like everyone else.

There are a total of 10 recruits in his recruit class, and the recruit brothers from all over the world carry the squad leader on their backs to each of their seats, just like Shuibo Liangshan, sit in rows, and share the fruits.

Later, this incident made Zhang Junbao laugh for a long time, they were a little stupid at the beginning, forgetting that their identity was a soldier, not a group of bandits.

They agreed to wear Mao suits to Tiananmen Square to take pictures together when they were discharged, but because on the day they left the company, they went their separate ways, and the matter was over.

The way the recruits arrange their seats is always very simple, and the order of the eldest to the youngest is determined according to the size of the recruits.

Zhang Junbao, who is 187CM tall, became the boss unexpectedly, but this boss became a joke later.

Before the recruits left the company, Li Kun, the second oldest with the best training performance, and Zhao Qingquan, the seventh oldest, had already determined the target, Li Kun was recommended by the instructor and assigned to the reconnaissance company of the regiment, while Zhao Qingquan went to the special service company directly under the division.

Lao Wuduan Qikun used his family connections to assign him to the military region's division training brigade (driver training brigade), if nothing else, he would have said goodbye to everyone in the future.

According to the tradition of previous years, the recruits of the recruit company basically followed the new training squad leader to the company and were with the squad leader.

On the day when the chief of staff of the regiment announced the order to divide the troops, the rest of the squad followed the squad leader without accident, leaving Zhang Junbao standing alone in a daze.

Before leaving, the squad leader patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "You kid is a good soldier, work hard in the future, don't fuck up." ”

After speaking, the squad leader left!

Zhang Junbao was assigned to the 11th Company, while the brothers in his recruit class were all in the 13th Company.

There are three elite companies in the regiment, and their names are well-known, namely the first company, the third company, and the eleventh company, and these trivial things have already been said by the squad leaders when they were in the recruit company.

was assigned to the well-known "Sharp Knife Company" in the regiment, and it stands to reason that Zhang Junbao should be very happy.

But some comrades-in-arms who understood what was going on told him that he was sold!

Zhang Junbao didn't know how he got into the car, he was like a fool, and followed the squad leader who came to pick him up step by step.

The whole regiment knew about his "waste" name, so no one paid attention to him along the way, let alone gave him a good face.

From one familiar company to another, everything needed to start again, and sitting at the back of the bus, Zhang Junbao had a feeling called loneliness for the first time.

When the bus arrived at the company, the deputy company commander who led the team to pick up the people did not let Zhang Junbao get off the bus, but directly asked the driver to take him into the grassland.

Zhang Junbao didn't even know what his new company was like, and he didn't see his company commander and instructor, maybe one day when the company commander checked the roster, he might remember that there was a person named Zhang Junbao under his command.

Or a "waste" who has already made a name for himself in the recruit company. ”

The "13th squad" on the grassland is a special existence in the 11th Company, which is 300 kilometers away from the company's station.

Maybe even the driver looks down on the special thirteenth class on this grassland, right? Zhang Junbao's heart comforted himself curiously.

……

It has been two days since he came to Class 13, and Zhang Junbao's heart has gradually been occupied by despair.

He found that he might have a lot to do with the number 13.

It's just that 13 is not an auspicious number in the Western world, it represents bad luck.

"Hey, three madmen, don't howl wolf, hurry up and come back to play cards!"

The roar behind him made Zhang Junbao wake up from his own world, and he mechanically turned his head to look behind him.

A blackface with a beard was standing at the door of the dormitory looking at him, a man who looked a sense of maturity that didn't match his age.

He looks like a 39-year-old man, but he is actually only 19 years old.

His name is Li Bing, he is a northeastern man from Heilongjiang, and he heard the squad leader say that he used to be an athlete of the national wrestling team, as for why he came to be a soldier? Why was he assigned to Class 13? These things have to wait for Zhang Junbao to figure it out by himself.

"Three madmen, don't look at it, you kid hurry up, Lao Ma and their card tables are all set."

Li Bing seemed to be a little impatient, and his two bull's eyes widened as if he was eating people, looking at Zhang Junbao, if he didn't know him, he would definitely be startled.

"Here we are, squad leader."

Zhang Junbao shouted loudly, got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the dormitory.

There were five people in Class 13 before, and since Zhang Junbao arrived, they have become six people.

In the past, five people could only fight the landlord, and two people were idle and had no fun; Now it's six people, just enough to be able to play 'enough,' a group of people are lively and lively in this grassland where birds don't, but it has a unique charm.

Seeing Zhang Junbao running back, Li Bing also turned around and walked back to the house, the weather outside was still very cold, and he didn't want to stay longer.

Zhang Junbao stopped when he ran to the door, his physical fitness was not good, and he needed to pant for breath to relieve his pressure after running for a while.

"The three madmen are back, let's start fighting right away."

"So what are you waiting for? Brother Pony, you give him the cards of the three maniacs first. ”

……

Standing outside the door, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of several veterans.

Maybe it's because his name is the same as the historical Tai Chi master, or maybe it's because his behavior after coming to Class 13 is a little abnormal, and the veterans gave him the nickname of "Three Crazy".

"Actually, my original name was Zhang Jiabao, which means the baby of our family, but when I got the household registration, the household registration police heard it wrong, and I became Zhang Junbao."

Zhang Junbao didn't know how many times he had explained, but no one could listen.
