"Sigh, how much longer? Why hasn't he arrived yet?”
Li He sat in the car for a whole day. His waist was sore from sitting in the car. The car was dark, and it was uncomfortable to see. He was so tired that he pressed his waist and sighed.
Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect to take a cargo train after changing cars. It really wasn't meant for people to sit on!
Every carriage was filled with people, wishing they could stack them together. In order to save energy, most people chose to sit back to back. Some people were afraid of being dirty, so they squatted. The train shook for half a day, and no one had the strength to stand.
After maintaining this position for a few hours, Li He felt that his entire body was sore and his back was aching. Moreover, this was a body with very good physical fitness. If it was an ordinary person, they would have fainted long ago!
"Buzz!"
The train slowed down as it whined. It was obvious that the train was about to arrive at the station.
The other recruits also clearly felt the change in the train's speed. The originally silent carriage gradually began to speak. The voices became louder and louder, and it could be said to be noisy.
By the time the train stopped moving, the noise outside the door could be heard clearly. There was probably another train coming into the station. The rumbling shook the carriage.
"Creak!"
The door of the train carriage opened, and the long-lost sunlight shone through the door.
Due to the long period of dim lighting, everyone could not accept the dazzling sunlight for a moment. They all raised their hands to cover their eyes.
"We have arrived at the station. Recruits, pack up your things and get off the bus as soon as possible!'
The voices of several officers in charge of receiving the recruits rang out around them.
How could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy resist the temptation of the tanks and armored vehicles in front of them? The recruits, who had never seen these new things before, saw the real thing for the first time at a close distance. Each and every one of them revealed an infatuated expression. They were extremely excited but also a little nervous.
Li He was calm. He had lived two lives and was about forty years old in total. He was still relatively calm.
He only stared at it for a few seconds before he jumped off the carriage with his luggage and walked to the soldier closest to him.
"That recruit, that recruit, I'm talking to you! Put your hand down!"
"What are you doing, huh?"
"Do you think you're funny?”An angry voice came from Li He's right. He was so surprised that he immediately turned his head to look.
The person being scolded was Xu Sanduo.
He leaned back and raised his hands in surrender.
On the other side, the person standing under the car was Gao Cheng, the commander of Steel Seventh Company.
Even someone with a low EQ could feel that Gao Cheng was burning with anger. His dignified voice was filled with anger.
As the Company Commander of the 702nd Steel Seventh Company, Gao Cheng was very strict with himself and his soldiers.
In his dictionary, the honor of a soldier was more important than anything else, so when he saw Xu Sanduo's surrender posture, he was definitely furious.
However, it was fortunate that Xu Sanduo was still a recruit. When he came down, Gao Cheng simply scolded him and blamed him. It was over. He lowered his head and continued to do what he was doing.
It was also this time that Gao Cheng gave all the recruits present a dignified and not to be trifled with image.
At this moment, Zhang Enci walked over and tugged at Li He's sleeve." Li He, who is that person? I feel that these soldiers who receive new recruits are very afraid of him.”
"You're asking me? I don't know the army as well as you do!”
"Looking at the military rank, it might be either a company commander or an instructor.”
Li He gave a few perfunctory words. He knew what he could say at this time.
"You can still read military ranks! Tell me."
"Military ranks aren't something difficult to understand. You'll understand after staying here for a few more days. I've read about them before.”
Faced with Zhang Enci's various questions, Li He couldn't even be bothered to be perfunctory. He hastily ended the topic and dragged Zhang Enci toward the gathering place.
There was a playground in the middle of a few dilapidated houses, which looked like the place where they usually loaded and unloaded goods.
After all the recruits had gathered, Gao Cheng walked to the front of the team and began to introduce himself.
"Li He, what you said is really accurate. He is really a company commander and is directly in charge of our recruit company.”
Li He saw that Zhang Enci was talking non-stop. He kept talking when he stood in line.
She could only turn around and say to him,"Don't talk nonsense when you're taking sides. Don't cause trouble for yourself and me!"”
After saying this, Li He immediately turned around and quietly listened to Gao Cheng's explanation of the next step of the work arrangement.
Gao Cheng's speech was a typical soldier's speech. It was concise and clear, different from the leader's speech in Li He's impression. It was not cumbersome at all.
In just a few minutes, Gao Cheng had finished explaining everything.
After Gao Cheng left, Shi Jin jogged out of the queue and led everyone to the transport vehicle that had been waiting for a long time.
Gao Cheng had instructed them in advance that they could take different steps now, but their singing voices had to be loud and clear, so everyone sang with all their might.
Li He's position was at the outermost part of the team. He followed everyone's pace and slowly advanced.
It was not until the transport vehicle led them closer to the gate of the army that everyone got off and marched forward.
At this time, Li He finally saw the entire appearance of the army. The gray walls were not very high, and through the walls, he could vaguely see many houses inside.
There was a red cloth hanging on the wall with the words " Welcome, Comrade Recruit " written on it. On both sides of the gate were majestic sentries standing straight.
There was also a warning sign on the guardrail that read," Guards are sacred and inviolable."
This was the first time Li He had truly welcomed the life of a soldier. His heart, which had always been calm, gradually began to waver.
Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cheng walked in front of Li He. The two of them walked side by side. Like the other ordinary soldiers, they were attracted by this unfamiliar environment and looked around.
Just as they were assigned to the barracks where the new recruits were located, according to the arrangements, Li He himself was assigned to the eighth class. Xu Sanduo and the others were indeed assigned to the fifth class just like in the TV series, and the class leader was 561.
Actually, it was more like a warehouse than a barracks. Everything inside had been cleared out in advance. It was filled with bunk beds, placed in rows. All the recruits would be living here from now on.
The class monitor of Class Eight was called Zhang Qiang. He looked to be in his twenties and was from Zhejiang.
He was a sergeant who had just transferred over this year. Because he was a famous top soldier in the Third Company of the Red Army, he was specially approved to lead the new recruits.
The recruits put down their luggage. Before they had time to make their beds, they welcomed the first mission of their military career.
Gao Cheng stood at the door and shouted,"Each class monitor will organize their own classes to conduct the inspection."”
"Test?"
"What do you mean?"
"Hey, hey, did you know?"
"You don't know how to light a cigarette.”
"You're so cheeky! Test! Do you understand?"
The new recruits had yet to learn the discipline of the army. They were still used to the carelessness of ordinary people. As long as they did not understand something, they would immediately discuss it. In this closed room, everyone was talking, making it extremely noisy.
The army was like a big oven, and the role of the new recruits was to clean up everyone's social habits. At the very least, they had to look like soldiers. As for the lower companies, that was the key to truly training how to become qualified soldiers.
Li He knew that the army was the most disciplined. Although he was curious, he didn't say anything.
Li He, who had participated in military training, knew the most basic rule in the army. Before the formation was announced to be disbanded, one could not speak casually. This was the most basic rule.
People were not allowed to speak casually in the queue. When there was a need, they had to shout for a report. Only after the approval of the duty officer could they speak. This was a relatively basic regulation. Li He didn't want to be criticized as soon as he came to the army. He had to show his good side to others and leave a good impression. Therefore, when Zhang Enci and the others were talking enthusiastically, he just stood quietly and didn't move.
While everyone was chattering away, the motionless Li He stood out like a crane among chickens.
"Good! This soldier is not bad!"
Gao Cheng, who was secretly observing from afar, naturally witnessed all of this. From his eyes, he could clearly see that Li He's military posture was not standard, but it was already 80% similar.
He should have gone through some military training. He flipped through the list.
"Name: Li He"
" Name Race: Han."
[Age: 18 years old]
" Place of Birth: Cloud City's Baoxi Village."
" Degree: High School "
......
As expected of someone who had gone through military training and went to high school. He was a promising talent!
Gao Cheng nodded repeatedly, a satisfied expression on his face.
In the current situation, university students were still rare. Most soldiers in the army had a junior high school diploma, and some did not even finish junior high school. There were very few soldiers with a high school diploma.
The current era was developing rapidly, and the level of technology at home and abroad was changing with each passing day. China was actively making changes in the direction of information technology. In the face of those information technology devices, the higher the degree, the easier it was for people to accept them. They would learn and operate faster.
Because of the general trend, the army would definitely develop high-quality talents in the future. Gao Cheng was a top student who graduated from a famous military academy and had led the army for a long time. He was very clear about this.
Gao Cheng drew a five-pointed star next to Li He on the list. He wanted to list Li He as a key observation target.
However, at this moment, Li He was actively cooperating with the class monitor's inspection work, so he was unaware of Gao Cheng's actions.
In fact, the so-called inspection was the inspection of the recruits before they entered the camp. The recruits were required to take out their personal belongings one by one and hand in the things that needed to be handed in, such as mobile phones, controlled knives, etc. For safety and convenience, these things needed to be handed in in advance before entering the camp.
There would be a special storage room to collect these things and then return them to the recruits when they retired.
Most of the recruits in the same batch as Li He came from the countryside. Their families were not rich, and almost no one had a mobile phone. However, they found fruit knives in the bags of some people. They used them to cut fruits on the train.
Li He didn't have anything special in his backpack. Other than some clothes to change into and items given by the army, there was only some food left.
Things like blankets, backpack ropes, belts, washbasins, and towels.
After the inspection, the recruits placed the other things neatly according to the demonstration of the squad leader. Then, it was their first dinner since they joined the army: Noodles.
This was a tradition in the army. When they were participating in military training, the instructor had once told Li He to eat noodles for his first meal in the army, which meant that he would keep noodles for a long time. When he retired from the army, he would eat dumplings for the last time, which meant that he would get lost.
