Military career: Starting with a recruitment letter

Chapter 122 Only those who survived have the right to complain about being tired
Shock, disbelief, all kinds of emotions intertwined together.

The veterans of the reconnaissance company initially found it hard to digest the fact that Private had won by climbing.

Then, a burst of biting chill rushed from the heels to the top of the head.

Damn, the company hasn’t been this lively in a long time.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Cheng Dong, especially at the company commander's wide mouth.

A group of veterans couldn't help but tremble in their calves.

Is that the company commander's mouth that can't be closed? It's obviously next, their legs can't stop.

He ran over early in the morning and asked the company commander for climbing training, vowing to teach the scholar a lesson.

As a result, in the end, this lesson turned into the scholar performing an extreme reversal for them.

Climbing actually won.

All the veterans began to line up consciously, and even those who had climbed up the stairs pulled the ropes and went down one by one.

This tacit understanding comes from the intuition gained from staying in the reconnaissance company for many years.

Hu Zetian untied the safety rope from his waist. He hesitated for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up to the scholar who had already sat up from the ground, revealing a smile that was more painful than crying: "Damn, you thief are so cruel."

"This is really hard on me. I broke the precedent of veterans losing to new recruits in our reconnaissance company, damn it."

"It's okay, squad leader." After Chen Mo caught his breath, he said sympathetically, "I'll follow you in whatever subject you're practicing later."

"Don't!!"

"Don't come over."

"Get away from me, you bastard." Hu Zetian threw the safety rope around his waist down the stairs, grabbed the rope in his hand and started sliding down the stairs.

The one who moved quickly went down the stairs faster than the dozen times he had done in the previous competition.

"Damn scholar, I don't want to see you again, stay away from me."

Hu Zetian had already gone downstairs, still clamoring to line up and wait for the next "trial" from the company commander.

Cheng Dong ignored the old soldiers. After he recovered, he first raised his hand to scratch his head, then stood there with his hands on his hips for a while, then took out sixty yuan from his pocket and waved to Zhao Wuliang.

"Xiao Zhao, go outside and buy three golden panpans to bring back to the scholar."

"Yes!"

Jin Panpan is a cigarette brand in Shanxi Province. As a company commander, I can't go back on my word in front of so many people.

Cheng Dong didn't know what kind of cigarettes Chen Mo smoked, but this was the brand that Xu Qingzhou from Class 4 "bribed" him with.

Cheng Dong remembered that Chen Mo had given him this cigarette, so he arranged for someone to buy it.

With the money in his hand, Zhao Wuliang ran away without hesitation.

He was now extremely grateful that Xiucai had ignored him when he was at the training ground.

Otherwise, the record of veterans losing to new recruits would probably fall on him.

Xiucai is simply not a human being. Who the hell can find someone to practice climbing with more than ten times in a row?
Logically speaking, if new recruits participate in training and are frequently exposed to the same subject in a short period of time, their performance will only get worse and worse.

Because as physical strength is greatly depleted, speed and reaction cannot keep up, and the loss will be even more miserable.

Who knows how this freak becomes more and more powerful?
Zhao Wuliang has made up his mind that he will never show off his sense of superiority as a veteran in front of the scholar again.

Damn it, if you get entangled with him, you will be skinned alive even if you don’t die.

He could have gotten away with it by buying cigarettes.

The comrades left behind at the climbing building are probably in danger.

It's really hanging.

Sixty yuan, that's Cheng Dong's salary for two and a half days. Our Captain Cheng is not stingy with the money, but at least he can't show that he is stingy on his face.

He walked to the front of the queue, and all the veterans in the company consciously looked to the right, lined up quickly, straightened their chests, and looked forward.

Waiting for the company commander's lecture.

But at this time, Cheng Dong was in no mood to speak. He simply took off his right shoe and threw it towards the queue with a "swish".

He cursed angrily: "Are they all standing there like corpses?"

"Where's the aura of being number one in the entire army? Damn it, is this how you are number one in the entire army?"

"Everyone, we're all going to run 60 kilometers of cross-country with weights. When we finish, we'll have dinner."

"Disband, everyone get the hell out!!"

Despite being scolded.

But all the soldiers in the company still breathed a sigh of relief. Even a 60-kilometer cross-country race was more comfortable than facing the furious company commander at this moment.

That guy, the troops dispersed faster and faster. An old soldier brought Cheng Dong's shoes to him, threw them down, turned around and ran away.

All at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Chen Mo was standing on the climbing stairs. Before he could come down, in the blink of an eye, there was no one downstairs.

Only the company commander, the instructor, and the deputy company commander Hou Zhanye were left standing below; even the platoon leaders had all run away.

Sixty kilometers of cross-country running.
Even if the reconnaissance company were to run, it would probably take at least five hours to complete the task. The day before yesterday, the entire company was fined ten kilometers for capturing the enemy by speeding, and now they have to run this many kilometers again.

Chen Mo himself felt that it was really hard to get into this reconnaissance company.

Coming down from the climbing stairs, Chen Mo quickly walked up to Cheng Dong and saluted: "Hello, Company Commander."

"Ah."

"Well done."

Cheng Dong raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then turned and left without saying anything.

The instructor smiled and left with the old monkey.

Watching everyone leave.

Chen Mo was not in a hurry. He found a cleaner place and planned to sit down and rest for a while. Anyway, he didn't have to go back to the dormitory.

The backpack I packed this morning is still here because of the competition. I'll just carry it and follow the company when we set off.

For Chen Mo, sixty kilometers of cross-country running is definitely the limit of the limit.

You must take a rest.

There's nothing I can do, I'm a soldier.

Challenging the limits all the time.

What Chen Mo did this morning not only caused trouble to the reconnaissance company.

Including the third platoon of the guard company under the Military Affairs Department, also known as the patrol platoon, they are afraid that they will not be able to complete the ten tasks today.

Li Tao, the squad leader responsible for patrolling the Tao Village area, brought his men to the outskirts of the training ground to stand guard early in the morning.

In the past two days, not only the reconnaissance company and the tank battalion have new recruits, but the guard platoon also has new recruits.

Li Tao arranged for the veterans in the class to serve on duty near the Taocun Training Brigade, the Motor Vehicle Company, and the Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion.

He himself led the two new recruits from his class to the edge of the training ground, and with his hands behind his back, he said, "Have you remembered what I taught you before you came here?"

"We can't enter this company, so we all keep our eyes open. If anyone comes out, we check their appearance."

"The reconnaissance company is the easiest to catch. They train very intensely, and generally their uniforms are not up to standard."

"I tell you who can be arrested, and you go up and arrest them as I say, understand?"

"Yes, squad leader!"

The two privates, who were wearing white helmets for the first time, responded enthusiastically.

As inspectors responsible for correcting discipline and eradicating bad practices throughout the brigade, the two men are full of energy and have a righteous spirit in their hearts.

He is much more serious than those old-timers in the class who are just slacking off.

The two privates stood tall and fantasized about the day when they could show off their prowess and catch a few scouts who violated the rules.

Suddenly, there were bursts of footsteps coming from the distant training ground.

Look up.

My goodness, more than a hundred people were divided into four columns, everyone wearing a helmet, carrying a backpack and a rifle, running out with their teeth bared.

There was also a veteran at the front of the queue, holding up a three-meter-long flagpole, with the company flag fluttering in the wind.

The other side clearly pretended to be on a training expedition, but for some reason, these veterans had terrifying expressions, as if they wanted to eat someone.

Full of hostility.

When Li Tao saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

I guessed that it must be Captain Cheng from the reconnaissance company who was angry again, because apart from this, this kind of situation would not happen in the reconnaissance company.

Before he could remind the two privates to ignore him and let him pass.

One of the patrol recruits tugged at his clothes and prepared to step forward.

The 7th Armored Brigade, formerly the 7th Tank Division, has a relatively strong background, and patrol work has always been difficult to carry out.

But it is impossible to teach this kind of thing to new recruits right away. The guard company still educates new comrades according to the standard mentoring method.

We must be strict with ourselves and clean up the bad work style.

Therefore, the new patrol officers don't care about anything. They strictly follow the instructions of the squad leader just now. When they see someone coming out, they will step forward and shout to stop.

I was still thinking about whether I could complete today's ten targets all at once.

As a result, he had just taken a few steps forward when Li Tao, who was behind him, was startled and hurried forward to stop him: "We don't care about the training team."

"That's not right, squad leader. Didn't you say that the team on the training march is the easiest to be corrected?"

The recruit who was stopped turned around and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

But it only took a short while.

The reconnaissance company had already come out of the training ground. The veteran holding the flag at the front saw three pickets standing here.

He immediately glared and cursed: "Fuck you, get out of here, don't force me to slap you."

"If you dare to make trouble today, I will kill you."

The old soldier made a series of angry threats, turned around with the flag, and ran wildly towards the dirt road in the opposite direction of Kuchi Village.

A group of veterans followed behind.

Li Tao didn't take the scout's scolding seriously, but the private on his first duty was furious, glaring at the distant troops. "Squad leader, why don't we correct them?"

"Go ahead, if you're not afraid of death, go ahead and try it." Li Tao responded unhappily.

He also secretly blamed his bad luck today. He had just brought the new recruits here to broaden his horizons, and then he encountered people from the reconnaissance company and got scolded.

If it weren't like this normally.

Although the military affairs personnel have a bad relationship with the reconnaissance company, patrolling is a rule set by the headquarters and even the entire army. The two sides will only fight secretly and will not scold each other so blatantly.

I really didn't check the almanac before going out today.

Li Tao had no choice but to get scolded. All the people in the company had run away, so there was no point for them to stay here.

Just as I was about to ask people to leave.

Suddenly, two more people came from the direction of the martial arts field. They looked easy to bully.

One of them was a corporal who looked like a piece of charcoal, and the other was a private who was holding a few cigarettes and stuffing them into his backpack.

Li Tao squinted his eyes and observed for a moment. He knew both of them.

One was the communicator of the reconnaissance company, and the other was the newly assigned scholar.

We caught a spy when we were new recruits, and it was big news in the entire brigade.

"Squad leader, there are two more. Should we arrest them?"

The private who had just been scolded applied eagerly.

heard asking.

Li Tao was conflicted.

In fact, when they patrol, they want to find faults, such as military appearance and discipline, and appearance, and they can always find something to correct.

The section chief set targets for each class. Each class must correct ten people every day. If they fail to do so, they must write a self-criticism when they return.

I can't just go up and recite my self-criticism every day with a heavy heart.

"Go ahead and try it, and be polite when you speak."

Li Tao motioned for the two to come forward.

Chen Mo was still thinking about how to divide the three cigarettes. After all, even if it was the company commander who made the bet, he couldn't be completely ignorant of it.

Before he could figure out the plan.

Two patrolmen blocked my way: "Comrade, please stay."

The location of the patrol station is generally hidden, and neither Chen Mo nor Zhao Wuliang noticed it just now.

When he suddenly saw someone jumping out, Chen Mo was just stunned for a moment and didn't feel anything.

Zhao Wuliang's muscles tensed up instantly. Damn, the company commander was angry at the moment.

If anyone gets caught by the patrol today and Cheng Dong hears about it, it would be so exciting to think about it.

"I'll leave your mother's eggs."

"Scholar, run!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wuliang turned around and rushed in the direction of the main force.

The two new recruits on guard had no time to react before Lao Zhao jumped twenty meters away.

Chen Mo looked up at the patrol, then at Old Zhao, whose back was now all that was left. He gave a dry laugh and said, "Comrade, I'll go help you get him back."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Chen Mo also ran away.

“Eh? Hey!!”

"Stop, don't run."

Outside Kuchi Village, in the bright morning sunshine.

Chen Mo chased Lao Zhao, and the patrol officer chased the two of them, running two in front and two behind.

This patrolman was really persistent. He chased the two people for nearly two kilometers and only gave up when he could no longer see their backs.

Chen Mo didn't want to know what punishment these two people would receive when they returned.

He patted his chest, turned his head to see that no one was chasing him, and then slowed down.

Looking up at the large army in the distance, he shook his head and sighed: "This reconnaissance company is so exciting every day."

"What a thrill!" Zhao Wuliang said angrily, "Stop messing around. Everyone's having a good time. Sixty kilometers! Oh my god, I won't have to do anything else after I finish this."

Cheng Dong didn't ask them to run together.

But staying in the company at this time was obviously not a wise decision. It would be better to go out and join the main force.

This time the whole company was punished.

Chen Mo knew it was his fault, so he didn't know how to respond.

He just turned his head to look behind him and asked in surprise, "Squad leader, why are these patrol officers picking on us?"

"They came to arrest us the day before yesterday with changed clothes, and today they're here with new recruits. Isn't it just that our relationship with the Military Affairs Department is a little off, so why are they arresting us so frequently?"

"I don't know." Zhao Wuliang shook his head and said, "I guess they have some new indicators."

"But I'm telling you, our relationship with him isn't just bad, it's fucking terrible."

"These patrols are much more honest now."

Old Soldier Zhao looked around mysteriously and said while jogging: "I also heard from the old soldiers that when our 7th Brigade was still the 7th Division, the Divisional Military Affairs Department was even more awesome."

"So cruel?" Chen Mo frowned.

However, he did not suspect that Lao Zhao was bragging. Similar things happened frequently in the 1990s.

"That's not."

"This is how we handle it. Anyone who keeps bringing this up will be showing disrespect."

"It seems that the conflict between us and the patrol officers started from that moment on."

"Understood!!"

Chen Mo nodded.

This time he finally understood why the relationship between the reconnaissance company and the military affairs department was so tense.

I also understand that although Cheng Dong never yells at anyone in the company, those old soldiers are so afraid of him.

This is not fear at all, it's pure respect.

After all, he dared to bring half a company of people to the division headquarters to seek justice.

If a fight really breaks out, the guards probably won't even have a chance to fight back.

Don’t think that the name “Guard Company” sounds intimidating.

In fact, because of their different responsibilities, their combat effectiveness or fighting ability is not an exaggeration to say that they are just decorations when compared with the reconnaissance company.

Regardless of whether it is at the brigade, regiment or division level, the mission of the guard company is not to train every day, but to be responsible for the safety of the agency personnel.

Take the Seventh Brigade, for example.

The maintenance and protection of the oil depots, ammunition depots, and underground oil pipelines under the Seventh Brigade are the responsibilities of the Guard Platoon of the Guard Company, similar to the Grassland Fifth Squad.

Many duty points are not located at the brigade headquarters at all.

Also, during holidays or when combat readiness is particularly busy, the brigade headquarters is too busy and needs someone to do odd jobs, and that's when the people from the guard company's official platoon step in.

Including the garbage generated by the brigade every day and the fallen leaves swept up, we can't let the cadres of the agency deal with it, right?
Therefore, the guard company still has a special "garbage transportation platoon" to do this.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Dong was already giving face by bringing half of the reconnaissance company to fight.

Even if he took twenty people with him, armed with sticks, he could probably knock out the entire guard company.

But fortunately no fight broke out.

Otherwise, the current commander of the reconnaissance company would definitely not be Cheng Dong.

For such a terrible thing, even if he is not brought to a military court afterwards, he will probably be demobilized on the spot.

While chatting, the two of them quickly caught up with the main group and ran behind them.

After Chen Mo's repeated attempts, the veterans of the reconnaissance company had completely given up "resistance".

Love as much as you like.

I practiced extra in the morning and pretended not to see anything even if I saw it.

Next half month.

The company carried out various trainings, and Chen Mo kept up with them every day, from basic rock climbing to swimming across the reservoir.

You know, it’s just the beginning of spring.

A group of energetic veterans stayed in the icy reservoir for most of the day. They only came out of the water with their lips black and blue from the cold and shivering all over.

But no one complained, and no one backed down.

Scouts are soldiers on the front line of the battlefield, and the battlefield will not give them the opportunity to choose the area or the weather.

Won’t there be wars in winter?

The so-called scientific training does not exist at all in front of this group of people. They only believe in one sentence.

Only when you are alive do you have the right to complain about being tired.

During this half month, Chen Mo's adaptation speed has become faster and faster.

Often they would lag behind the day before, but could barely catch up on the second day, and would be in the middle of the entire company on the third day.

This is the case for every subject, over and over again.

The veterans in the company were too lazy to be surprised.

Damn, who can do anything when faced with a beast like this?

And during these days of training, there are also days of competition with artillery reconnaissance.

It's gradually approaching.
