As the bus drove out of Wangzhuang township, the recruits craned their necks to look back. This was the homeland where they were born and raised. Now that they were about to leave, how could they not miss it?
The car drove onto the highway and soon arrived at the county town. However, it was not the center of the county, but a large courtyard in the suburbs. Jun Wu observed carefully and found that it was the Party School of the County Party Committee. It seemed that they were going to spend a short period of training here.
After getting out of the car, the recruits of the entire county gathered together and listened to the instructions of the army chief. Although it was called a lecture, it was actually a clear organization and allocation of personnel.
This time, Company Commander Zhang, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers from Wangzhuang Village, became the officer on duty. After he finished arranging all the recruits, he stood at attention and reported to a fat man who looked like a chief."Commander, the column has assembled. Please instruct.”
The commander ordered,"Let everyone rest!”
Company Commander Zhang shouted "Yes" in a standard soldier's posture, then ordered the troops to "stand at ease" and continued," Comrades, our new recruits are the 3rd Regiment. Next, let's invite the Regiment Commander, Commander Ai, to speak…"
The recruits probably felt that it was fresh or the majesty of military life. People automatically took off their gloves, and the applause had a thunderous effect.
"Hello, comrades! Welcome to the Chinese People's Liberation Army's 3rd Regiment of the recruits in the ShenYang Military Region. Next, I will announce the battalion and company structure of the Regiment and introduce your battalion and company leaders…"
The column was divided into two battalions, four companies, and one platoon. The platoon allocation was basically divided according to the township. What was going on? The recruits from Wang Zhuang, where Jun Wu was located, were originally assigned to four companies. Only he, Wang Baoyu, Ma Renzhong, and Wu Santu were assigned to the direct platoon.
This made Jun Wu spend some effort to guess. Wang Baoyu was a local communications officer. He was handsome, and there might be a special post waiting for him in the army. Ma Renzhong was tall, so he might have an important position in the army. He had joined the army because of his literary talent. Perhaps there were special arrangements. But why did Third Baldy Wu break away from his usual arrangements and come to the First Company Platoon with him?
It was said that Third Baldy Wu's father was smart and capable. He had done a favor and tampered with the registration, physical examination, and political review. Could it be that his father had also done something to the distribution of recruits? If that was the case, wouldn't the army become a place for evil to hide? Thinking of this, Jun Wu didn't dare to continue thinking.
Looking at the recruits of the direct platoon, most of them were from the county. Some of them were even high school classmates from Junwu. According to a well-informed source, the unit they were going to was an artillery regiment. The platoon members were all prepared to be assigned to the regiment's subordinate units. As for the rest of the personnel, they would be assigned to the companies below. When Junwu heard this, he did not know if it was true or not. Just listen to it!
After the team finished their lecture, the family members who came to send them off followed them into the school compound. At noon, the recruits and their families ate together in the large canteen. In the afternoon, the army distributed military blankets and uniforms, and then organized everyone to take a bath in the county public bath.
After showering, the platoon leader taught everyone how to pack their bags and then announced," This blanket and a satchel were all the warrior's belongings. As for the rest of the things, he didn't need to bring anything with him. He had his family members bring them home.
At this moment, Company Commander Zhang, who was already the deputy commander of the column, entered the room. When he saw the few books on military affairs, he said,"Junwu, there is a reading room in the army. You don't have to worry about not having books to read.”
Then, he announced an important rule: "Soldiers are not allowed to have cell phones. Anyone who brought their cell phones with them would have their family members bring them back. Otherwise, once they were discovered, they would be confiscated.”
As soon as Company Commander Zhang finished speaking, the crowd immediately clamored. "Why?" they asked with their eyes wide open. Why…"
"Why? No reason?" " The army is a collective fighting force," Company Commander Zhang said bluntly." We need to unite our will and not be distracted. The warrior was not allowed to have too much information contact with the outside world. Just for this."
Company Commander Zhang's words left everyone speechless. They all took out their phones and told themselves that they had joined the army and that they had to stop using their phones and use other methods to contact each other in the future. There were also some who took advantage of the situation and did not talk nonsense. Instead, they sent short messages to the other party, telling them that their phones were about to die of old age.
Junwu had heard about the ban on cell phones in the army at home, so he didn't bring his cell phone with him at all. Therefore, there was no trouble.
After dealing with their phones, the recruits took off their original clothes and put on their new military uniforms.
Although the military uniform was the same, it made people feel more energetic when they wore it. However, compared to the original clothes, they always looked too big and did not fit well. This was secondary. The main thing was the cotton military cap. Because it had just been taken out from the warehouse, the recruits did not know how to tidy it up. The top of it looked sharp when worn, just like the steamer used to steam rice cakes in the countryside. No matter how you looked at it, it looked shabby.
Junwu asked Company Commander Zhang how to tidy up this hat so that it would look as good as yours. Hearing Jun Wu's question, he immediately smiled and said,""This is a new cotton hat. It will take months to flatten the top.
As he spoke, he taught Jun Wu how to tidy up his hat. After some tidying up, it looked like a flat top at the time, but after wearing it for a while, it was still a pointed steamer head. He decided to ignore it, thinking that they were all new recruits, and no one would laugh at each other.
After taking off his old clothes, he was wearing a new military uniform. The Party School of the County Party Committee had suddenly become a military camp. Although they had not yet been given epaulets and caps, they were all wearing the same uniform. The other people's colorful clothes were very eye-catching. Even the staff of the Party School of the County Party Committee looked awkward in the crowd of military uniforms.
Because accommodation was not easy to arrange, the family members who came to send the recruits off brought home the old clothes that they had changed out of in the afternoon. The remaining recruits felt that they had changed, and the world around them had also changed.
At night, the army had arranged for them to watch a movie so that they wouldn't miss their families. When he returned to the party school, he saw many family members gathered at the entrance. Some of them were friends and relatives, while others were classmates and lovers.
Even though it was very late, the recruits still left the formation to chat with them. At this time, the platoon leader of the recruits emphasized,""No matter what, you must return to the dormitory at nine o'clock. Otherwise, you'll be punished for violating the rules."
When Jun Wu heard this, he suddenly felt that this platoon leader was a little heartless. It was already 8:30 pm. How could he say all those parting words in half an hour? However, on second thought, perhaps this was the characteristic of the army. They paid attention to iron discipline and did not pay attention to kinship.
