During winter, when they first slept, their throats were dry and smoking. The veterans were experienced. When they got up and put on their clothes, they would take a sip of water to moisten their throats. Of course, the recruits were inexperienced, so they could only endure their thirst. Li He was no exception.
No matter how hard he tried to shout, his voice would not be loud. His throat would always feel dry and hoarse. After shouting for a long time, his throat would still hurt.
After the morning exercise, Li He called Liu Ming along with Zhang Enci and hid in the bathroom to smoke.
He only smoked Spring City, which cost two to three yuan per pack. Zhang Enci was a heavy addict, and his allowance as a conscript was not enough for him to smoke any good cigarettes.
Li He would only smoke his own cigarettes occasionally. Most of the time, he would freeload from Zhang Enci's cigarettes. Liu Ming was not addicted to smoking and never bought his own cigarettes. He would only smoke a few puffs when someone gave him cigarettes. Therefore, he also freeloaded from Zhang Enci.
Therefore, Liu Ming was the richest person among them.
"Brother Li, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it.”
"Speak!"
"The three of us have been in Lower Company for a while, but we have never been to the guest house.”
"So? If you have something to say, just say it!"
Li He took a deep puff of his cigarette. How could he not understand Zhang Enci? Even with his eyes closed, he could guess what this kid was thinking. He must be greedy and wanted to order something good.
"Aiya, I'm just thinking for everyone. The three of us should find time to eat a good meal and drink some wine to reward ourselves. It's almost time for the training. I'm just afraid.”
"I don't know what we can eat in this field training. What if we eat wild vegetables and tree bark every day?”
"Pa!"
Li He slapped Zhang Enci on the head." Do you think the cooks are just for show? You even ate wild vegetables and tree bark. To think that you could think of that. Just say it if you're greedy. Don't curse us for no reason.”
"Hehehe, I've been short of money for smoking recently. I was thinking that Brother Li would treat us to a meal this time. When I come back from the training, my allowance will be paid.”
Li He turned his head and said to Liu Ming, who was smoking silently,""Ming Zi, how is it? What do you think? Do you want to go together?"
"I don't care. Since Ci Xi wants to eat, I'll follow.”
Liu Ming was a typical good guy who never offended anyone. Although he wasn't particularly smart, he had always been very concerned about his brother's matters.
Li He nodded." Since Ming Zi has said so, then let's go eat small pot dishes for lunch today.”
"Good!"
"Oh? So, where are you guys going for lunch today?”
"I already said that I'm going to the guest house for dinner. Why are you still asking?”
The three of them were chatting enthusiastically and did not notice anyone coming over. Li He thought that it was the other two people who asked and casually answered.
After saying that, he immediately reacted. This voice was different from Zhang Enci and Liu Ming's. The three of them looked at each other.
Sensing that something was wrong, the three of them stood up and turned to look at the door.
He saw a major wearing a military uniform standing at the door.
He was very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and looked very thin. He looked to be in his thirties.
A military officer suddenly stood in front of them. The three of them were frightened. Li He immediately saluted and shouted at him,"Hello, Chief!"
Previously, the squad leader of the recruit company had instructed them to address officers who were unclear of their positions as chief.
Only then did the other two people react and salute Li He.
"Yes! Good! You three are the new recruits of the battalion, right?”
The middle-aged officer replied with a bow.
"Yes, I am! Chief!"
Li He was a little nervous. I still don't know who this man is. Could it be that someone from the military affairs department is here to check?
However, this thought flashed across his mind and was quickly denied. It was not like he had never met people from the military affairs department. Those who came were all minor officials. How could there be a major? Usually, those who came to check on military affairs were captains or officers.
The middle-aged officer shook his head." Wrong. Don't call me chief. Call me battalion commander."”
"Alright! Battalion Commander!"
......
"Battalion Commander?"
Li He was in a daze and his brain short-circuited for a moment. He followed the other party's words and continued. When he reacted, he cried out again.
Zhang Enci and the others also cried out in surprise. They were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat. The three of them were gathered here to smoke.
"Hahaha, relax. It's okay. I just came back. It's normal that you haven't seen me.”
"I just want to see what the recruits look like and recognize their faces.”
This battalion commander was surprisingly friendly, making the three of them feel uncomfortable. This was very different from the battalion commanders described by the veterans. They all suspected that this officer was telling the truth. The first thing they did when they were sent to the Lower Company was to understand the situation in the Lower Company, and the most important thing was about this Battalion Commander.
Because the battalion commander lived directly with the battalion commander and was their direct superior, they should treat it seriously. The other companies in the artillery battalion were directly under the management of the company commander, but the battalion headquarters were different. The battalion headquarters were directly under the management of the battalion commander, so in terms of rank and feeling, the battalion headquarters were higher than the other companies.
Therefore, the requirements for the soldiers in the battalion headquarters were higher than those of other companies. The artillery company also had a command team, and the only difference between them and the battalion headquarters was that they did not have a relay station. Therefore, the veterans often told them that they had to work harder in the battalion headquarters because they were directly under the battalion commander. They had to give the battalion commander face and could not be inferior to other professional artillery companies.
Although they were all part of the same battalion, the battalion headquarters were under the command of the battalion commander, so it felt different.
From a selfish point of view, the battalion commander would definitely be more biased towards the battalion under his command. After all, they were his direct subordinates.
The veterans 'evaluation of the battalion commander was very simple. It was strict and serious. They valued the results of their members very much. If you dared to embarrass the battalion, the battalion commander had ways to make you wish you were dead.
The instructor and the deputy battalion commander looked like twins. One was called Liu Yun, and the other was called Ma Le. They both looked round and chubby. The difference was that Liu Yun was tall and had fair skin, while Ma Le was short and had dark skin.
Both of them were good-tempered people. They would laugh when they were angry and rarely get angry.
Therefore, under the guidance of the veterans, they were very afraid of the battalion commander. They wanted to avoid provoking the battalion commander and interact more with the instructor and the deputy battalion commander.
