Shi Jin's apology was very sincere, but Wang Jinlong always felt that something was wrong with him. After talking for a while, seeing that the time was almost eleven o'clock at noon, Wang Jinlong said: "You guys finally came here, don't go back at noon, I'm in for a treat, let's go out for a leisure!" ”

As he spoke, he struggled to get up, but his face showed pain. Gao Cheng hurriedly said: "You lie down quickly, you still want to go out to eat like this?" Don't get the injury worse, we can't afford it. Isn't this a military hospital? Their food is good, and they don't need money, or the nurse delivers it to you by hand, what do you want? ”

Wang Jinlong licked his face and smiled: "I'm not ...... Are you hungry and want to drink something? Usually the nurse looks at it and says it's tight, and there's no chance at all. ”

Gao Cheng said: "Oh, then you use us as a pretense to secretly go out for a drink?" I'm telling you, no! ”

Wang Jinlong arched his hand and begged: "Help!" It's okay if I don't go out, squad leader, can you go and buy it for me secretly? A can of beer is enough, please! ”

Shi Jin said funny: "You weren't so hungry before, why did you get injured and still make a mistake?" ”

Wang Jinlong spread his hands and said, "Who knows? Suddenly I wanted to drink. Squad leader, my good squad leader, help! ”

Shi Jin had no choice but to look at Gao Cheng, and Gao Cheng said helplessly: "Okay, you go and go back quickly, don't let people see it." ”

Shi Jin agreed to buy wine, and when he left the ward, Wang Jinlong's face immediately became serious, and said, "Company commander, why do I think there is something wrong with Squad Leader Shi?" What's going on? ”

Gao Cheng suddenly said: "Oh, you are specifically spending Shi Jin!" You kid is yin enough, okay, I have to say the word 'service'. ”

Wang Jinlong said: "Oh, company commander, don't interrupt, what's wrong with the squad leader?" ”

Gao Cheng was silent for a moment and said, "Shi Jin doesn't agree to share your credit, he said that if I had to do that, he would take the initiative to report his retirement." ”

Wang Jinlong was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Squad leader, he ...... He is a good person in the pure sense of the word, and I sigh to myself. ”

Gao Cheng also said: "Yes, I am not as good as him." ”

Wang Jinlong then said: "His character can still be mixed in the army, and when he returns to the place, he is afraid that he will be ......."

Gao Cheng said: "But he is hard-hearted, and no one can do anything." ”

Wang Jinlong said: "Is there no other way?" It's a shame to let him go like this! ”

Gao Cheng shook his head, was silent, and said after a while: "Perhaps...... Who knows, maybe with his performance in the exercise, he will be able to ......"

He couldn't go on, and Wang Jinlong was silent for a moment before saying: "Actually, it's okay to retire, the squad leader, he is twenty-seven or twenty-eight this year?" You haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, have you? He had left the best years in the barracks, and it was time to think about himself. ”

Both of them lost interest in talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull. I don't know how long it took, Gao Cheng suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, he immediately changed his smiling face and said, "Hey, what book did you read just now?" Fun and like a fox who stole a chicken? ”

Wang Jinlong reacted quickly, and immediately said: "It's nothing, it's just an idle book, to pass the time." ”

Gao Cheng smiled: "It's really just an idle book? It can't be a little emperor book, right? Take it out and I'll take a look! ”

Wang Jinlong hurriedly pressed the pillow and didn't show it to Gao Cheng, so Gao Cheng went to grab it, and the two of them laughed and laughed. When Shi Jin entered the house, he only saw the smiles of the two when they were playing. Wang Jinlong saw him come in, and hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, squad leader, bought it back?" ”

Shi Jin sneakily put his hand into his clothes from underneath and pulled out a beer from under his armpit. Wang Jinlong immediately took it and said, "Is the nurse here?" ”

Shi Jin went out to take a look again, and came back and said, "No, it is estimated that it will not be ...... at least a minute." Hey, drink slowly! ”

When Wang Jinlong heard that there were no nurses, he immediately opened the beer and dried it in one go. Then he hid the empty can in the quilt and flattened it so that it wouldn't make too much noise, and then handed the flattened can to Shi Jin, and said, "Squad leader, I have to trouble you, take it out in a while." ”

Shi Jin couldn't help but smile and tapped him with his finger, took it and put it in his trouser pocket.

Gao Cheng stood up and said, "Okay, we've seen it, if you want to invite us to dinner, you have to wait until you get healed and go back, let's go." ”

Wang Jinlong said: "This is leaving?" Would you like to talk to me for a while? ”

Gao Cheng said: "Don't you go and wait for the nurse to catch you?" Your mouth is full of wine, you can smell it far away, and the nurse will come after a while, and we have good fruit to eat? ”

Wang Jinlong changed color and said, "So obvious? Then I won't send you, I'll sleep first, sober up and then talk. ”

Gao Cheng and Shi Jin left, and in the next few days, the instructor, Wu Liuyi, Bai Tiejun, Gan Xiaoning and others also came to see him one after another. When they came, they inevitably talked about Shi Jin, and they all regretted that Shi Jin was likely to retire, and at the same time recognized Wang Jinlong's efforts. This made Wang Jinlong feel better, even if he didn't let Shi Jin stay, at least he was recognized by others, and that was enough.

Two weeks later, Wang Jinlong was discharged from the hospital. As soon as he returned to the company, he heard the bad news that the night shooting demonstration and night shooting exhibition competition organized by the division headquarters did not use Shi Jin, but named Wu Liuyi. In the past, this kind of activity was the patent of Shi Jin, and in the original plot, Xu Sanduo replaced him, but now that Xu Sanduo is gone, Wang Jinlong is hospitalized, so Wu Liuyi will replace him. But no matter who replaces it, it means that Shi Jin can't be left.

Compared with this news, the matter of Chengcai's transfer to the Red Third Company is insignificant, and everyone just mentions it casually as idle talk.

In fact, Chengcai is still very capable, his sniper talent is stronger than Wang Jinlong, if it weren't for Wang Jinlong's ability to shoot and shoot moving targets is particularly outstanding, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress this kid. It's a pity that in the last exercise, he was first hit hard by Yuan Lang, and then his best friend Xu Sanduo also left, how could he still be in the mood to stay in the Seventh Steel Company, so he proposed to leave that night.

Although after Wang Jinlong's proposal to leave, Xu Sanduo had already left, Gao Cheng was still extremely angry when he heard that Chengcai was leaving. Wang Jinlong wants to leave, he is pursuing a higher goal, he wants to go to the battlefield, and this aggressive heart makes Gao Cheng appreciate it very much, so he can understand. Xu Sanduo left in order to leave history, and it was also a last resort. is the only one who has become a talent, and he actually wants to transfer to the red third company, which is far inferior to the seventh company of steel, this is a self-willed depravity, how can Gao Cheng not be angry?

Not only Gao Cheng, but all the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company were infected with the same temperament by Gao Cheng, and when they heard that Chengcai was so uncompromising, they were all very disdainful, and none of them came to send him when he left. There was still a lot of Xu Sanduo in the original plot, and now Xu Sanduo is gone, which makes Chengcai even more sad. But this is all his own choice, since he chooses to bear the consequences, no one will pity him.

After Wang Jinlong returned to the company, because his injuries had not completely healed, Gao Cheng approved him to only do recovery training, and he could stop if he felt bad. But Wang Jinlong felt that there was no big problem, and it didn't take a week to completely recover his previous training volume. Not only did he keep up with the normal training, but he also had to practice by himself, and he was still a training maniac in the eyes of others.

After Wu Liuyi came back, the soldiers of the Seventh Company of Steel held a farewell party for Shi Jin. Although it is not the first time to say goodbye to veterans, Shi Jin is different from others, although he is only the squad leader of the third class, he also tries to help the soldiers of other classes as much as he can, so that everyone is very convinced of him. Therefore, when he retired, even the whole person was reluctant, and many people had wet eyes.

But no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to go. And after a long history, it will not affect the operation of the Seventh Steel Company. It's just that what Wang Jinlong didn't expect was that Xu Sanduo's encounter made him top, and he was named an acting squad leader, and later surpassed Wu Liuyi.

This made Wang Jinlong very puzzled, and deliberately went to Gao Cheng to inquire about the situation. Gao Cheng didn't hide it from him, and bluntly said that his acting squad leader was only a decision of Lian Li, not an official appointment. Perhaps it will not be long before a formal order will be issued in the regiment, and he, the acting squad leader, will have to give way.

Wang Jinlong is not worried that his position as acting squad leader will be lost, because the Seventh Company of Steel will still be reorganized like the original plot, and the whole company will be dispersed at that time, what is an acting squad leader? Besides, even if he is an official squad leader, he is still just a small soldier, and he hasn't paid attention to this little power.

However, it is not without benefits to be an acting squad leader, Wang Jinlong took the opportunity to apply to become a volunteer and become a non-commissioned officer. With his current position and performance, coupled with the support of Takashiro, he succeeded smoothly.

But the epaulettes on his shoulders have changed, but Wang Jinlong's style has not changed. Because he didn't take the position of squad leader seriously, he usually acted as a shopkeeper, and threw everything to Wu Liuyi to do, and he only showed up when necessary.

Of course, such a squad leader is very incompetent, but it is strange to say that the whole class has nothing to say to him. First, because his training performance is indeed far beyond everyone else, even Wu Liuyi is convinced, and secondly, because he looks like a big brother, even if this body is not very old, but his temperament is old and calm, which makes people feel that they can rely on it, so there is no chaos.

Besides, in the next few days, Gangqi was panicked, and no one cared about this. The gossip that the steel seventh company is about to be adapted is boiling. And at this time, a new recruit was actually transferred, named Ma Xiaoshuai, who happened to be the 5,000th soldier of the Seventh Company of Steel.

Although the rumors are rampant, the Seventh Company of Steel is worthy of being a soldier brought out by Gao Cheng, even if everyone knows what to do, but what to do is still done, all the training has not been left behind, there is no chaos. It's just that this atmosphere is no longer as harmonious as before.
