When they returned to the outpost, the sky was already bright.
Xiwa and veteran Ma Li quickly made a delicious breakfast for everyone.
After everyone had a full meal, they took a shower and went to bed without even washing their clothes.
Although the entire battle process was very simple, only Lin Tian and the others knew how thrilling it was.
That was a battlefield. If they were not careful, a bullet might fly over and take your life. Therefore, their nerves were tense throughout the entire process and they did not dare to relax at all.
Soon, the sounds of fighting rose and fell.
Lin Tian did not fall asleep immediately like the others. Instead, he summoned the system interface again.
[Energy Exchange System: Level 1 (5/10)]
[Energy Points: 65 (10 points per person for ordinary humans. The higher the status or the stronger the person, the more energy they will have.]
[Host's condition: Health]
[Physical Strength: 18, Spirit: 21, Speed: 16 (10 for a normal adult male)]
[System Mall: Already opened. Current level: Level 1]
He only needed to kill the last five enemies before the system upgrade. This time, his luck was pretty good. He killed four drug dealers and gained 50 energy points. Twenty of them were given to him by the tall and thin man.
However, these 65 energy points were still a little short of the dagger he wanted to exchange for. He still had to continue working hard!
Right, perhaps it was because of the high altitude during his time at the border sentry post, coupled with the fact that he had to patrol and consume a large amount of physical strength every day, his physical strength, which was originally only 17, had actually increased to 18. It was a full increase.
Although it wasn't much, at certain critical moments, a good physical fitness could save lives.
……
Lin Tian and the others had been at the border sentry for more than half a month. According to the rule of rotating once every three months, they still had to guard the border sentry for another seven days.
The past seven days had been very peaceful. They did not encounter any more problems and smoothly handed over their duties to the class that had come to replace them. Then, they took the military card and met up with the main group to return to the company's garrison.
It was only the second day after they returned, and Miao Lian had already gathered them for a commendation ceremony in front of the entire company.
They mainly talked about how they fought bravely and united as one so that everyone could learn from them!
The most important thing was that they had made a contribution again this time.
Among them, Old Pao, Lin Tian, and Xiao Zhuang were all awarded a third-class individual merit. The rest of the members were all awarded a battalion level commendation.
Old Pao was understandable, Old Squad Leader. Moreover, this battle was personally commanded by him, so it was normal for him to receive a third-class merit.
Xiao Zhuang, the discovery of the drug dealers this time was mainly due to his credit. In addition, he had also killed two or three drug dealers, so he was awarded a third-class military medal.
As for Lin Tian, he was able to obtain third-class merit not only because he killed the drug dealers, but also because of Lan Ning.
It had been half a month since Lan Ning's interview. Recently, the military newspaper published an interview with Outpost 317 and named it: "The passing of the torch between the college recruits and the ten-year veteran squad leaders!”
The full text focused on the story between Lin Tian and Old Pao, including their identity and background, as well as Lin Tian's decision to temporarily give up his studies and join the army because of Old Pao's heroic act of saving people!
Under Old Pao's leadership, he had transformed from a newbie into an excellent soldier with strong thinking, excellent style, and strong military qualities in just four and a half months!
Of course, there were also some other stories that described how the veterans of Class One interpreted the words " Chinese soldiers ". They described how they participated in flood relief, earthquake relief, and so on!
In the end, he said that there were veterans like this in all the troops. They were the treasures of all the troops, the souls of all the troops!
Unfortunately, these old squad leaders were about to face problems such as retirement and could not continue to serve in their beloved troops. This was a loss for the troops!
The military news was different from the newspapers and news platforms outside. Many military bigwigs paid attention to it.
In the past, everyone had always been promoting positive energy, saying that the army was getting better and better, and that the living standards and combat capabilities of the soldiers were getting higher and higher!
It was rare, or rather, not even once, to report directly about the dangers that the troops were facing.
Therefore, when this report was released, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the leaders of the entire Southeast Military Region. It was undeniable that modern warfare was becoming more and more advanced. The requirements for talents and academic qualifications were also getting higher and higher!
However, should these old squad leaders who could not be promoted to officers because of their academic qualifications be eliminated?
No, the army still needed them. Just as the report said, these veteran squad leaders were the treasures of the army, the soul of the army!
The lowest of them were veterans who had been in the military for ten years. Many of them had seen blood and fought in wars. They were all in their thirties, and some were even younger than thirty. They were still young and could continue to serve!
He couldn't let his neck be choked just because of a sergeant major's position. He couldn't silently withdraw from his beloved unit and return to his place!
Therefore, the higher-ups were discussing the reform plan for the promotion of sergeant major. Although the results had not been released yet, Lin Tian and Lao Pao, who appeared in the article, still attracted the attention of some big shots.
Among them was the major general of the 71st division. He personally praised the two of them. From the conversation in the article, it could be seen that Lin Tian and the other two had contributed greatly to the release of this report!
Since the big boss had spoken, naturally, no one would touch the dragon's beard. The reviewers who were still hesitating whether to give Lin Tian a camp-level reward or a third-class merit directly gave him a third-class merit.
Everyone knew what happened after that. Everything went smoothly and the army approved it on the same day!
At the end of the commendation ceremony, Miao Lian even privately passed a message to Old Pao. He was sure to become a sergeant major!
This was what the higher-ups meant.
Old Pao was ecstatic when he heard that. It wasn't that a Grade 4 Sergeant Major could bring him anything, but that he could continue to serve in his beloved army!
He didn't need to worry anymore. When the time was up, would he fail the test and be sent back to his place?
Of course, he also knew that he should thank Lin Tian, the university student soldier, for all of this!
