The Zhenbao Island self-defense counterattack ended, and the arrogant Russians suffered heavy losses. According to the newspaper, hundreds of Russians were killed, and twenty or thirty armored vehicles, command vehicles, and open trucks were blown up. A T62 tank was also captured, which was strictly speaking his capture. The entire battle lasted not long, only about half a month, and the scale of the battle was at most battalion level. His cousin Yao Qiang performed bravely in this battle and joined the army.

Zhong Yuemin was reading the newspaper at home and was happy for his cousin. After a while, Zheng Tong and Ermao came over. They walked hurriedly. Zheng Tong entered the house and came to the table to pour himself a glass of water. He drank it all in one gulp and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Yuemin, you still have time to read the newspaper? The school has started recruiting. I heard from my friends in the school that everyone who meets the requirements has gone there and the line is very long. Let's go and take a look. The number of places is limited."

"What's the point of going?" Zhong Yuemin put down the newspaper.

"With our background, we won't even make it through the first round of political review. Let's not even bother."

"I know that, but at least try your luck. Maybe they're blind and we can get away with it. You're still a war hero, so your chances are even better."

"Zheng Tong, let me be frank with you. Xiaobai's father asked me to come over a few days ago. I have a place to join the army. Maybe in a month or so, I will have to go to the Northeast to report."

"Oh my god, your father-in-law really doesn't like you, so why did he give you a backdoor?"

"It's not really a backdoor. There's a phone line in Shenyang that goes directly to Beijing. Xiaobai's father also lived in Shenyang. Maybe by chance I found him, an acquaintance, to handle my enlistment. My family background is not complicated, so the formal procedures definitely won't work. I need to work it out privately. Do you understand?"

Zheng Tong sighed.

"Well, it seems we came here for nothing. You guys are all disloyal. Yuan Jun won't even leave the house now. Yuemin, you're leaving soon too. Ermao, it seems we can only go to the countryside to join the production team."

"Okay, you two, stop crying," Zhong Yuemin said, "joining the army doesn't necessarily mean you'll be rich, and going to the countryside doesn't mean you'll be finished."

He stood up and said, "Come on, let's go. I'll go with you to the school."

Although the hope is slim, they will definitely not be willing to give up if they don't try.

When we arrived at the school, the registration point was set up directly on the playground. The line was very long, four or five rows long. There were many acquaintances there. I greeted them and Zhong Yuemin nodded in response.

"When do we have to arrange this?"

"Yuemin, Zheng Tong," Luo Jianguo waved to them from the middle of a line.

"Come on, this way, line up here!"

Ermao and Zheng Tong squeezed in, "Yuemin, you don't want to queue?"

Zheng Tong said:

"Jianguo, just leave him alone. He's a combat hero. The head of the Shenyang Military Region personally called to request him. Why would we even need to wait in line?"

"Well, I forgot about that!"

Someone behind him was unhappy about being cut in line, so Luo Jianguo turned around and yelled, "What the hell are you yelling about? Who the hell cut in line?"

"Aren't those two people?"

"Didn't you see the sticker on my back?"

"What's posted? Where is it?"

Luo Jianguo lifted his military coat and saw a piece of paper stuck to his underwear. It said, "Sorry, thanks for queuing for 20 people!" He was quite polite.

"Can you read? And you can insert two more. Now you can insert 18 more. Damn it."

"Aren't you being a rogue?"

"Don't agree? Bite me!"

This is also a talent. Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Okay, you guys line up, I'll wait on the side." Even if you line up in the middle, it will take an hour or so.

I went to the side and found a bench to sit down. Although spring had not yet arrived, it was not as cold as winter. With the warm sun shining on my body, I felt sleepy after a while and dozed off against the back of the chair...

I was soundly asleep when my nose felt cold and I couldn't breathe. I opened my eyes and saw a smiling and charming girl's face in front of me. It was Zhou Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, how did you find yourself here?"

Zhou Xiaobai sat aside and pouted:

"I went to your house to look for you, and I ran into that Le Jizhong. He said you might have come to the school to sign up for the army, and now you're here. Everyone else is lining up, but you're just sleeping soundly, drooling."

She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her man's face considerately.

He added, "Didn't my dad tell you that the enlistment procedures were being processed? Why are you still here to sign up at school?"

"It's not me, it's Zheng Tong, Ermao and the others. I just came over to take a look. Aren't they lined up over there? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

"I mean, you're going to join the army soon, and you'll be gone for half a year. So spend some time with your family."

Zhou Xiaobai immediately became worried.

"What about us? We have to be separated for such a long time. I can't bear to leave you, Yuemin. How about I talk to my dad and I go to the Northeast with you. It would be best if we were in the same army, so that we can see each other often in the future."

"It's true that your father is the deputy commander, but the army isn't run by our family, so it's not that easy. Your father has been worried enough about me joining the army, so let's not add to the trouble. Parting is for a better reunion in the future. Besides, you won't be in the army for too long. I heard from your second brother that you'll be attending the Military Medical University in a year, so we'll still have to separate then. Just be patient."

Zhou Xiaobai nodded slightly, "Then you are not allowed to be with other girls in the future."

"You're just overthinking it. There aren't any girls in the army, they're all men. Honestly, if you spend a few years there, you'll be so horny when you see the sows raised by the army's kitchen staff."

Zhou Xiaobai hit him and said, "You're disgusting."

"By the way, Luo Yun hasn't been with you these days. Did you two have a fight?"

"No, he's about to join the army. His family is trying to arrange for me to be assigned to the same unit so we can look after each other. He must be quite busy."

Zhong Yuemin nodded. At this time, there was a noise in the distance. It was Zheng Tong, Luo Jianguo and others. They had already lined up and were arguing with the conscription office clerk.

"Let's go and take a look." He took Xiaobai's hand and came to Zheng Tong and the others.

"what happened?"

Zheng Tong said angrily:

"This is too much. They didn't even let us fill out a conscription form. We waited in line for over an hour, and these guys just said they had no business sending us away. If we don't get an explanation today, we won't leave."

"Yes, I'm not leaving!"

The clerk said:

"Stop making trouble here! I've made it very clear to you that your family backgrounds are questionable. You'll definitely not pass the political review. Giving you the forms is a waste of paper."

"Fuck you!"

Luo Jianguo cursed loudly, spit flying out of his mouth.

"My father joined the Eighth Route Army in 1938 and fought for half his life, but he was labeled as a person of questionable class background. Without my father's bloody battles, how can you, a hypocrite, sit here and boss us around?"

"What a piece of shit!" Zheng Tong interrupted and retorted.

"Snapped!"

The clerk was furious and slammed the table before standing up. "Calling you students is an insult to the word 'students'. You little hooligans, get out of here, or I'll call for help."
