The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Then a neatly dressed second platoon leader, Hu Ji, appeared. He was incredulous but said happily:

"Boy, I heard you chose me, right?"

Zhao hesitated and said:

"yes!

Is there...what's going on? "

The two platoon leaders prepared to stand aside and watch the next show.

Platoon Leader Hu drove the two away and said:

"Go, go, go, those people, are you still choosing? If not, I'll take them all!

If you don't have any soldiers by then, don't ask me for help, okay?"

The two platoon leaders said in unison: "Are you dreaming?"

Then Platoon Leader Liu waved his hand to Platoon Leader Wu and said:

"Let's go, let's recruit more people and see what he chooses then."

"Yes, let's go."

Platoon Leader Wu passed by Zhao Shao and muttered:

"Little kid, let me remind you one last time. It's not good to be under Hu Mo's hands during training. Now there's still a chance. Have you thought it through?"

Zhao Shao shook his head and said:

"I appreciate your kindness, sir, but once words are spoken, they cannot be shed. How can I go back on my word?

I'd better stay under the Second Platoon Leader!"

Upon hearing Zhao Shao's courage, Platoon Leader Wu praised him, saying, "Good words, once spoken, are like water spilled. I'll remember this. I wish you good luck!"

"Hey, who are you sighing about?" Second Platoon Leader Hu Ji said, "Aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?"

"I'm so scared." After saying that, the platoon leader made a provocative gesture and ran away.

Zhao Shao and the second platoon leader Hu Ji were left here. Hu Ji saluted politely and said:

"Hello, my name is Hu Ji, and I'm your platoon leader."

"Hello, my name is Zhao Shao, please take care of me."

Zhao Shao also knew how to salute, but the difference was that his was not standard.

.........

Three days later, Hu Ji's men started fighting each other.

It was as if we had known each other for a long time.

So how did he do all this?

Return to the scene on the first day of recruiting.

Zhao Shao and 31 other people stood in the temporary training ground.

Unlike the other two platoon leaders who let their recruits get to know each other, Platoon Leader Hu gathered his recruits together.

He arranged each person's position one by one, from lowest to highest, to train their introduction skills, and they stepped forward one by one from their arranged positions to introduce themselves.

The first one is naturally himself.

Hu Ji stood at the temporary podium in front and said loudly:

"My name is Hu Ji, and I'm from Yueyang, Hunan"

Then the next handsome but short man whispered:

"My name is Liu Wei, from Loudi, Hunan. Although I'm very handsome, please don't..." His voice gradually became smaller and smaller, like a mosquito, saying, "Don't be obsessed with me!"

Hu Ji laughed inwardly, but still said, "Next."

"My name is Yu San, and I'm from Tongcheng, Jiangxi Province. Please don't call me Umbrella, thank you," Yu San said awkwardly and walked off the stage directly.

Hu Ji stood aside and said loudly, "Next," while writing down the information of each person with a pen.

.........

Zhao Shao walked past the new recruit in front of him who was shorter than him, recalling the identity given to him by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Su Hao told him: "Your name is Zhao Shao, from Yiyang, Hunan, a farmer..."

Having already gone through an inner struggle, he walked onto the platform and slowly and loudly said, "My name is Zhao Shao, a farmer from Yiyang, Hunan."

Hu Ji muttered, "Zhao Shao, from Yiyang, Hunan."

Seeing Zhao Shao finished reading, he said, "Next."

A man taller and more imposing than Zhao Shao stepped onto the stage and began to speak with a tiger's roar: "My name is Yujie, and I'm a local."

……

Zhao Shao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the people in front of him didn't share the same place name as him...

Hu Ji said:

"Now, I hereby announce the appointment of temporary squad leaders. The appointed individuals are: Yujie, Chen Wen, and Zhao Shao."

Then he singled out the person who had spoken loudly among the crowd.

Zhao Shao thought to himself, "No way! I was appointed just like that."

Although he was unwilling, he did not refuse and took the initiative to step forward.

Hu Ji ordered:

"From today until the end of the training, these few people will be your squad leaders. Everyone, give them a round of applause and encouragement."

The crowd applauded...

But there are exceptions, sighing and clapping at the same time

“Oh, if only I could speak louder.”

"Even if your voice is this loud, there's no way they'll choose you!"

"Don't you think about the fact that once your sissy gives the orders, no one will be in the mood to fight?

I'm afraid everyone is laughing out loud!"

.........

Hu Ji continued:

"Now, everyone will select their own squad leaders. Please show yourselves well. Each squad leader will lead ten people. As for the remaining one, leave him as a messenger."

Everyone went to their favorite squad leader, but most of them ran towards the tall and mighty Yu Jie and the approachable Chen Wen.

As for Zhao Shao, there were naturally candidates. However, when one saw that Zhao Shao looked like an honest young farmer, one couldn't help but feel that he lacked knowledge and would definitely not be able to manage himself.

Zhao Shao looked at the group in front of him who looked like students with little knowledge, even though they didn't come from farmers. He pulled out a man named Yu Xin and said,

"Why don't you choose the tall and mighty Yu Jiehuo?"

Yu Xin glanced at Zhao Shao and then compared himself with Yu Jie. He leaned close to Zhao Shao's ear and said:

"Do you want me to tell the truth?"

"Speak, I won't hit you."

"Let me tell you first, you won't hit me!"

"You're talking nonsense. I told you I won't hit you anymore. Hurry up and tell me."

Zhao Shao urged.

“Actually, look!

It's obvious that Yujie is good at physical work, which means he will definitely obey the platoon leader's orders. When a battle breaks out, he will just lead us to charge forward, and I will lose my life.

As for you, it's different. You are from Yiyang, and people in Yiyang are easy to talk to. When fighting, they will definitely not rush in and sacrifice us in vain.

You are looking at Chen Wen..."

Before he could finish his words, another person came to Zhao Shao and interrupted their conversation. It was Liu Wei.

"Hello! My name is Liu Wei, please... give me some... attention..." The voice became smaller and smaller...

Then Yu San also arrived.

Zhao Shao saw that all the weirdos who had appeared during the introduction had gathered on his side, and he felt sad in his heart - life would probably be difficult in the future.

.........

Second Platoon Leader Hu Ji couldn't stand it anymore when he saw that almost everyone was on Yujie and Chen Wen's side, while Zhao Shao only had seven people including himself.

He randomly picked three people from Yujie and Chen Wen, who had the largest number of people, and assigned them to Zhao Shao. He also selected Yuxin from Zhao Shao's team as a messenger, but kept him in Zhao Shao's class during the training period.

Only then did the squad leaders take their men to rest.

Zhao Shao was very happy to see that he had someone on his side. Especially since, unlike the Central Bureau of Investigation, there was a group of optimistic and cheerful people gathered here, which made him feel a little like home...
