The next morning.
On the training ground, the military flag fluttered in the air.
Above the viewing platform, there was a banner that read " Iron Fist Regiment Recruit Conferring Ceremony ".
Regiment Commander Kang Lei, Chief of Staff Wang Xingguo, and other leaders sat on the viewing platform.
The recruits who had changed into their uniforms tied their belts, pinned their armbands, and lined up neatly on their chests.
Gong Jian stood at the front of the formation, facing the flag and raising his right fist." I am a Chinese soldier. I swear!”
"I am a Chinese soldier, I swear!”
The recruits raised their right fists and roared," Obey the leadership of our party, serve the people wholeheartedly, obey orders, strictly abide by discipline, be brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, train hard to kill enemies, be ready to fight at all times, never betray the army, and defend the motherland to the death!”
Jiang Chen stood in the group, feeling a little emotional.
The recruits had endured three months in a row. They had finally made it through. Their days in the future should be much easier.
However, there were two sides to everything.
After today, those brothers who had been with him for more than 90 days would probably go their separate ways…
After the oath, Gong Jian announced the official start of the Iron Fist Regiment's new recruit company award ceremony.
The first was naturally to play the national anthems and raise the national flag.
Everyone stood up, puffed out their chests, raised their heads, and looked forward.
Four flag guards and two flag-bearers were already waiting below the flagpole.
After the national song was played, everyone raised their right hand and sang in a low voice as they watched the five-starred red flag slowly rise.
After the flag was raised, it was the leader's speech.
Gong Jian ran to the front of the grandstand and raised his hand in salute." Reporting! Comrade regiment commander, the Iron Fist Regiment recruits have assembled, please give your instructions!”
"At ease!" Master Kang returned the greeting.
"Yes, sir!" Gong Jian turned around and ordered," At ease!”
Everyone stretched out their right feet in unison, and Gong Jian ran into the team.
Master Kang's gaze swept across the queue and suddenly shouted,""Hello, comrades!"
"Hello, Chief!" The new recruits 'shouts shook the earth and mountains, reaching the clouds.
"Not bad, you have the spirit of the Iron Fist Gang!”
Master Kang nodded in satisfaction and smiled." Looking at your young faces, I can't help but think of my new recruits. It was also here that I became a recruit of the Iron Fist Regiment twenty years ago!”
"At that time, I was as young as you…"
"But what I want to tell you now is that when we bid farewell to our hometown, bid farewell to our parents, and put on this green military uniform, we will no longer be ordinary people, but glorious Chinese soldiers!”
"I believe that the term 'soldier' is a vague concept in your mind.”
"Maybe you admire soldiers, or maybe you hate them.”
" Every new recruit has various reasons for joining the army…"
"I know that not every young man is willing to join the army.”
"But it doesn't matter…"
Master Kang paused for a moment and suddenly raised his voice." Welcome to the army!”
"Iron Fist Guild, welcome!"
The recruits below the stage tried their best to straighten their backs and looked at Master Kang on the viewing platform.
"All of you have learned about the Chinese soldiers from the television and newspapers, from the images of the flood relief, and from the words of others.”
" But now, you don't need to understand soldiers through other means…"
Master Kang looked pleased." After three months of being a recruit, you have finally defeated laziness, pain, and ego. Wearing this green military uniform, the national defense service badge, and the rank of private, you are a member of the Chinese soldiers. You represent the Chinese soldiers!”
"You all think that the new recruits are very tough, that the squad leaders are very harsh, and that the leaders are very strict, right?”
"But…"
Master Kang changed the topic." I'm telling you as a veteran that when you have no choice but to take off your green military uniform and return to being a civilian, you will miss every minute and second of being a soldier!”
Master Kang's eyes were sharp as he glanced at the orderly square formation." The Chinese soldiers are the children of the Chinese people. They are the armed forces of China. They are a glorious group that is ready to sacrifice for the country and the people at any time!”
"Soldiers, are you ready?!”
"Be prepared at all times!" The recruits roared.
"Soldiers, are you ready to join the battlefield?”
"Be prepared at all times!"
"Soldiers, are you ready to sacrifice yourself for the country and the people?”
"Be prepared at all times!"
Master Kang raised his right fist and roared," Iron Fist!”
"Be alert and prepare for war! Raise your vigilance and prepare for war! Be alert and prepare for war!"
His voice shook the heavens and the earth, soaring into the clouds!
After three months of training, they had shed their immaturity and turned from ordinary people into real soldiers.
After Master Kang finished his speech, the next step was the award ceremony.
There was nothing much to say about this. Basically, the squad leaders helped the recruits put on their military rank epaulets.
Master Kang had put on Jiang Chen's military rank epaulet for him.
After the ceremony, Master Kang left with the other leaders.
Gong Jian came to the front of the team with a folder.
"We will start splitting up now!"
As he spoke, he opened the folder and shouted,"Guo Xiaoming, Zhao Liang, Zhao Yulong!”
"Here!" The three of them answered at the same time.
"The electro-visual classroom of the Political Department!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Gao Lulin!"
"Here!"
" Engineer Battalion Camouflage Company!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Wang Xiaohu, Xu Yongchang!"
"Here!"
"Mechanized Infantry Second Battalion Fifth Company!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Wen Chaolei, Liu Wei!"
"Here!"
"Mechanized Infantry, Second Battalion, Sixth Company!"
"Yes, sir!"
……
One name after another was read out by Gong Jian.
Very quickly.
There were only a few people left in the entire recruit company.
"Li Erniu!"
"Here!"
"Mechanized Infantry Second Battalion Fifth Company, Kitchen Squad!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Jiang Chen, He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing!”
"Here!"
"Mechanized Infantry Second Battalion Sharpshooter Fourth Company!”
"Yes, sir!"
Looking at the three people standing together, Gong Jian couldn't help but smile.
To be able to get these three guys back to the Sharpshooter Company, it was not in vain for him to work hard in the recruit company for more than three months!
After splitting up, everyone returned to the dormitory to pack their luggage.
For a time, the sorrow of parting filled the entire recruit dormitory building.
……
An hour later.
Jiang Chen and the other two followed Gong Jian and Blackie to the camp where the four companies of sharpshooters were.
At the entrance of the camp, the flag of the Sharpshooter Company was fluttering in the wind.
Next to it was carved the words of the Sharpshooter Company: The brave will win!
After entering the campsite, Gong Jian gave Old Hei some instructions and headed straight for the office building.
Blackie took Jiang Chen and the other two to the dormitory of Class One.
Rustle!
After Blackie entered the dorm, the five veterans stood up.
"Come, let me introduce you to everyone."
Lao Hei pointed at Jiang Chen and the other two." These are the three new students in our class-Jiang Chen, He Chenguang, and Wang Yanbing!”
"Everyone, welcome!"
The veterans clapped and smiled at the three of them.
"Those are the beds for the three of you.”After the applause, Blackie pointed to the three empty beds in the dormitory.
"Yes, sir!"
Ding!" Congratulations to the host for becoming a real Chinese soldier and entering the Sharpshooter Company with your own efforts. The reward is one Catherine Experience Card!”
