Hungry like a 'deflated calf', fortunately, there were battalion paperwork and himself chatting on the side, Guo Xiaosong walked at the end of the class, talking and laughing at the same time, and holding a cigarette roll in his hand, just because he is now a 'three-year veteran', he must look like an old man, he can't talk to a recruit, everything has to be decent.

The 'Iron and Blood Regiment' picket team has two squad leaders, one of whom is also from City A, belonging to the fellow who enlisted with Guo Xiaosong, Guo Xiaosong was also in contact with him not long ago, and the introducer is the fellow of City A of the Quartermaster Unit of the Logistics Department, with the protection of the fellow, so Guo Xiaosong's courage has become bigger, what he didn't dare to do before, now he dares to do it, even the regimental pickets patrolling on the side, when they see him, they have to take the initiative to greet him, shouting 'Hello squad leader!' ’

'Wait, wait a minute! The 'commander' of the tank company had just returned from the canteen after dinner, and as soon as he returned to the garage door, he did not see Guo Xiaosong and his soldiers.

'You've cleaned my car?' ’

'Wipe it, wipe it well! Since the demobilization of the veteran, he has raised his shoulders by a notch, and the original rank of 'corporal' has been replaced by a 'sergeant', and sometimes he wears a 'sergeant' to hang around.

'Wiped ready?' Why didn't you check it with me? ’

'I've found you, I've found you, I don't know where you've been!' Guo Xiaosong told the team to stop. While smoking a cigarette, he tilted his head to look at the commander of the 'tank company'.

'I went to dinner just now, and now I'm back, let's go, let's go back, as long as you meet my standards, I'll let you go!' Relying on the fact that he was not far from his company's barracks, all the soldiers who returned along the way were the soldiers of the 'tank company', and this 'commander' was not only one person, but he was very imposing.

'Seventh class deputy! ’

'Here! Monitor. What's wrong with you? As if they had discussed, today's 'Seventh Class Vice' was also angry, and his voice had improved a lot.

'Walk, shout a few passwords, and eat!' After Guo Xiaosong finished speaking, he got into the back seat of the battalion clerk's bicycle, and the battalion clerk pedaled the bike and began to leave.

Maybe it was because he was used to being a 'veteran soldier', but the commander of the 'tank company' in front of him saw that Guo Xiaosong did not follow his method, and stepped forward and grabbed the handlebar of the battalion secretary. It may have been too much force, and the battalion clerk's bicycle had already started, and the front wheel of the bicycle hit the crotch of the person's pants. Fortunately, I wore cotton pants in winter, otherwise I would have to have an 'unnecessary casualty'.

Guo Xiaosong has never liked to fight with others, but today he is indeed holding his breath, and he is too tough when he sees someone coming. I got out of the car, and only gently pushed his shoulder, and the man felt that it was no longer possible. He let go of his hand and didn't say anything, but took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.

'I said you're finished, you're good, you're full, you're full, you're playing in front of me, we're not eating, I said don't you wipe the car, we're going to come back after eating, if you have time, go to the garage and wait for a while, if it's too cold, you just go back to the house, we're back, I'll call a soldier to call you, you still stop our car, do you know whose car it is?" You dare to stop it, this is the battalion instructor's car, give you two guts, okay, let's go, don't follow anymore! Guo Xiaosong said a lot of soft and hard words in a row, which means that it is impossible for them to go back, and they will talk about it after having something to eat.

The commander of the 'tank company' seemed to be a southerner, and he was confused for a while about Guo Xiaosong's quick talk, and after watching these people walk around again, he didn't react, and when Guo Xiaosong lit another cigarette and smoked it, he felt that something was wrong.

'Wait a minute,' the commander of the tank company caught up again.

The battalion secretary never spoke again, which showed that the other party was too 'grinding', so he said, 'Your kid's conscience was eaten by a dog, on such a cold day, you can't wait, it's not that you didn't wipe the car!' ’

'Good boy, you beat people, and now you dare to curse people! At last the commander of the 'tank company' found the handle, and he thought that the people on the way back from the canteen had not yet left his one-third of an acre, but they were still in the company, so he shouted loudly.

Picking a horse spoon in a pot, that is, brothers, especially a company, as soon as they heard that their comrades-in-arms were being bullied, the soldiers of the tank company who walked on the road and walked past all gathered around Guo Xiaosong and the seventh squad, forming a semi-encircled state.

"Hey, Guo Xiaosong, brother, I see you're in trouble, look at these Bs, are they all carved out of a mold, and then look at the toad glasses they wear on the top of their heads, I want to cut them when I see them!" The battalion secretary has always been a person who dares to do things, and he scolded the other party for the sentence just now, at this time he thought that he couldn't admit it, and there were more than a dozen soldiers brought by Guo Xiaosong by his side.

'Old man, who beat you, who scolded you!' A squad leader of a 'tank company' with the rank of 'sergeant' on his shoulders spoke.

'Well, he pushed me, and this biker scolded me!' As soon as he saw that he had foreign aid, the commander of the 'tank company' was no longer afraid, and looked at his opponent domineeringly.

'It's just you, you're their squad leader, right?' A group of soldiers, only Guo Xiaosong with a cigarette in his hand, a person with experience as a soldier, can analyze why, the "sergeant" of the "tank company" looked Guo Xiaosong up and down.

'You're from City A!' Guo Xiaosong listened to the other party's accent very much like his own countryman, if he really climbed up to his fellow countryman, maybe the shape in front of him would be reversed.

'Who do you care about me, I'm just asking you, are you bullying the soldiers of our company?' The "tank company" and "sergeant" didn't seem to want to buy Guo Xiaosong's account, and with the increase in the number of people, almost the situation of the two sides also formed a sharp contrast, the people of the "tank company". There are about thirty or forty people, but Guo Xiaosong's seventh class plus the battalion secretary is only about a dozen people.

Guo Xiaosong just wanted to continue talking, but let the battalion secretary say first, "You can't BB with them, I don't think he dares to admit that he is from City A, he just wants to give them a head start, hey, I said that your rank is not mixed, we know the pickets." Believe it or not, I asked them to come over and "correct" you! In the nineties of the last century, the mixed wearing of military ranks is very common, the more bars on the shoulders, the more bullish it proves that you are a soldier, and the battalion secretary is also wearing a 'sergeant' epaulette on his shoulder, the reason is that he was allowed by the battalion commander's instructor, and the title will be awarded on May Day next year. As the squad leader of the battalion headquarters class, he can be promoted to this title as a matter of course.

The 'tank company' and 'sergeant' smiled when they heard this, "I'll just say, you old men of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment'." It's always been a deception, just as our company commander said, when you come to you, you have to coil up if you are a dragon. If it's a tiger, we have to lie down, you say I'm a mixed rank, then you're a 'sergeant' is true. Take a soldier's card and take a look! ’

The battalion headquarters clerk really took out his 'soldier card', shook it in front of the man, and wrote it neatly with a pen clearly, "On such and such a day in such and such a year, a soldier of a certain unit of such and such a unit, a private, a certain year and a certain day, a certain detachment clerk, a corporal, a certain year and a certain day, a certain detachment clerk, sergeant," The 'soldier card' of the battalion headquarters document was written by himself himself, and on the first day of this month, he had already 'adjusted' his military rank to 'to' Sergeant', at the end of each promotion date, there is also the personal seal of the commander of the third battalion, the instructor, of course, the big red seal of the military affairs unit of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment', which has been stamped on the day of the award.

As for when the title of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' was awarded, as a soldier of the 'tank company' from an outsider's household, it was naturally not very clear when he first came to the ramp, but when he saw that the battalion headquarters document was taken out and matched with his military rank, the 'tank company' and 'sergeant' also took out his own 'soldier card', which clearly stated that he himself was a 'sergeant' rank, and judging from the time of enlistment, this person was still a 'five-year veteran'. ’

'It's really an old squad leader, okay, I'll give you face today, we're a little witch, I really didn't expect it, everyone said that the mules in Jinggangshan are not easy to find, and today I really met one, we are blind, blind! The battalion headquarters document pointed out that in the period when the whole army was dominated by 'compulsory soldiers', five-year veterans were really rare, and most of them could serve as five-year soldiers, the only reason why they could serve as five-year soldiers was that there were only two purposes, one was to become a volunteer soldier after five years, and the other was because of the special reasons of a certain unit, there would be a quota for promotion. The Iron and Blood Regiment has it, just like the Ninth Company, there is a quota for promotion every year, and most of the people who are mentioned have been working for five years, at least four years of veterans, and are escorted to the 'Beijing Garrison' teaching team for study, and when they come back, they first hang up the 'red card' for half a year, and then they will be awarded the title of 'second lieutenant' on May Day of the next year, and they will be awarded the rank of 'second lieutenant', one dime and one military rank, the reason why the battalion secretary says this comes from the feeling in his heart, among the active soldiers of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment', the five-year veterans are less than the colonel-level officers, and the whole regiment can't find a few people, it must be ' The Iron Blood Regiment is a grassroots unit, and for those who have turned into professional soldiers, the number of cadres promoted is even smaller.

'Old squad leader, you see this kid doesn't have it, he has a bad mouth, he not only scolded me just now, but now he dares to scold you, saying that you are a mule in Jinggangshan, that's not scolding! The commander of the tank company was also a restless bird, and the battalion secretary's words allowed him to catch the handle again.

Is it to sow discord, it seems that this 'sergeant' of the 'tank company' also knows it, he is not angry, "Originally, there was nothing to push, but there are so many of you, it is inevitable that others will think of some bad things, yes, we may be this soldier is wrong, but you can't push him no, after all, this is still at the door of our company, our company commander instructor, watching it in the house!" Then he pointed to the barracks in the distance, just as he had said, in front of the window opposite, as if an officer were really watching.

"Old squad leader, I am the seventh squad leader of the seventh company, my name is Guo Xiaosong, you have been in the army longer than us, I call you the old squad leader, it is true that I pushed this brother just now, but I didn't mean to! 'Being able to bend and stretch has always been Guo Xiaosong's strength, a hero does not suffer immediate losses, and can endure it.

'Not on purpose, then I'll push you!' Seeing that Guo Xiaosong was going to mix the water, how could the commander of the 'tank company' let him, he stepped forward and pushed Guo Xiaosong's hand, and was pushing it to the position of the pen pinned to Guo Xiaosong's chest, only to hear a 'card rub', as if Guo Xiaosong's pen was broken.

The fountain pen on the chest is given to him by the sixth uncle Guo Kaiying, he hopes that his nephew can use it to be admitted to the military academy, and just like he did back then, come to a 'carp jumping dragon gate', although this fountain pen is not very valuable, but this is a piece of the elders' heart to themselves, Guo Xiaosong was very nervous to take out the pen from the chest, only to see that there was originally a crack, folded in half, and the 'pen skin' was exposed, Guo Xiaosong then wiped, full of fountain pen water, all stained on his hands.

Providence, providence is so, the sixth uncle Guo Kaiying, was admitted to the police academy with this fountain pen, and now it has passed to the hands of his nephew Guo Xiaosong, this fountain pen is considered to be wasted, Guo Xiaosong took out the paper from his trouser pocket very sadly, wrapped the broken pen, and said in front of the big guy, 'It's okay this time, can we go!' ’

Poor, that is, poor, the soldiers of our army in the nineties of the last century, each person can only get a few dozen yuan of allowance money a month, in the days when there is no microcomputer, the fountain pen is the main object of writing letters and communicating and conveying information, a pen often costs a few yuan, more than a dozen yuan, and the valuable ones are also hundreds of yuan, and the soldiers of the 'tank company' have already been "injured" before they see that they have not started fighting, and everyone's compassion comes into being, and they all let a way for Guo Xiaosong and the people of their class to pass.
