The train arrived at the station, and the recruits began to get off the train one after another. Li Xiang, Gao Jie, and Liu Gang could finally get off the train. They had been standing on the train for more than ten hours, and their legs and feet had long been numb.
After getting off the train, Li Xiang thought that a bus would pick them up to take them to the military camp, but he didn't expect that except for a few large trucks, there were no other vehicles.
"Dudududu..."
The officer whistled and then began to speak.
"Now, everyone will line up in groups of forty, stand behind the corresponding trucks, and stand in four lines."
The recruits followed the officer's orders and began to line up. Under the command of the veteran, the team quickly stood up.
"boarding."
After the officer gave the order, the new recruits entered the carriage one after another.
After entering the carriage, the veteran asked the recruits to place their rucksacks flat on the carriage board, and then sit on top of their own rucksacks. Then the carriage door was closed and the tarpaulin was pulled up. The interior of the carriage instantly became pitch black and nothing could be seen except for the vague silhouette of the recruits on the opposite side. After the vehicle moved, Li Xiang closed his eyes and began to rest, but he didn't want to fall asleep soon.
After a bumpy ride on a rugged mountain road, the recruits finally arrived at the military camp.
"Dudududu..."
In the haze, Li Xiang heard the whistle and hurriedly woke up.
"get off."
At the officer's command, the compartment doors of all trucks were opened. At this time, it was already dark, and the scenery outside the carriage was dimly illuminated by weak street lights.
Li Xiang jumped out of the carriage and followed the recruit team to a large playground. In the middle of the playground, an older officer stood there. Judging from the expressions of the surrounding officers, this officer should be the largest officer here.
"Dududu..., gather."
A tall officer ran under the military flag and shouted commands. Afterwards, the recruits quickly gathered on the playground and stood in rows.
"Next, I would like to invite the commander of our new military camp to speak. Everyone is welcome."
The tall officer took the lead in applauding, and the recruits below followed suit.
"The applause is not warm enough." The tall officer was not satisfied with the applause of the recruits below, so he took the microphone and said sternly to the recruits.
As soon as the tall officer finished speaking, the veterans standing nearby walked to the group of recruits one after another to see which recruit was just doing movements and not putting forth any effort. After some inspection, the applause from below soon started.
Welcomed by warm applause, the highest-ranking officer walked under the military flag, held a microphone in his hand, and began to speak.
"Boys, how does it feel to come to the military camp? Is it different from what you imagined?"
The new battalion commander asked and answered questions for himself.
"Hahaha, that's right. From today until the end of these three months, you have to participate in training for me honestly and put away your usual temper at home. I am not your parent and will condone it. You guys, I spoil you, do you hear me clearly?”
This time, what the recruit battalion commander said required everyone to answer, but there was silence below and no one answered.
"What? Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
"It's clear."
Some of the recruits who knew current affairs quickly answered. However, most of the recruits did not answer all the questions, and even if they did, their voices were not very loud.
"Your voices are too low, you're like mosquitoes, haven't you had enough to eat? Say it all again, did you hear clearly?" the recruit battalion commander asked everyone loudly.
The recruits knew that the recruit battalion commander was really going to show off his power, and all the recruits quickly replied loudly: "Listen clearly."
"That's good, just listen carefully. In the coming days, I hope you like the life here. Most people may be a little uncomfortable with it, and that's okay. I believe you will slowly adapt to life here."
Next, the recruit battalion commander handed the microphone to the tall officer beside him and left the playground.
"Next, let's start dividing the recruits into squads, starting from the first company to the first squad." The tall officer said seriously, and then gave the order to the first squad leader, "First squad leader, get out of the queue."
A veteran held the roster in his hand and trotted up to the recruits in a standard running posture.
"Hello everyone, I am the squad leader of the first squad of the first company of recruits. Next, the recruits whose names I read should answer first, and then come to my side."
"Liu Gang."
"arrive."
Liu Gang picked up his luggage bag and came to the first squad leader.
"Come on, Liu Gang, you stand here. The recruits whose names I read from behind will all stand behind Liu Gang."
The squad leader arranged for Liu Gang to stand in a position.
"Next, Li Xiang."
"arrive."
When the squad leader called his name, Li Xiang answered quickly, picked up his luggage and prepared to stand behind Liu Gang. But at this moment, Gao Jie saw Li Xiang passing by him, and suddenly stretched out a foot in front, deliberately tripping Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked up and saw Gao Jie again. When he saw that he did it on purpose, he suddenly became very angry.
"Gao Jie, what do you mean?"
Even in such a serious occasion, Li Xiang was not afraid and shouted directly to Gao Jie.
"Li Xiang, you are so strange." Gao Jie deliberately pretended not to know, "You stepped on my toes. That's all you didn't apologize for. What do you mean by asking me?"
Li Xiang knew that it would be a waste of words to argue with Gao Jie at this time. As soon as he got angry, he threw his luggage on the ground and punched Gao Jie. For someone like Gao Jie who likes to make trouble, he didn't want to swallow his anger.
Gao Jie was punched but refused to admit defeat. He immediately started to fight back and continued fighting with Li Xiang. Seeing this, the surrounding recruits got out of the way and formed a circle to watch the two fight.
The fight between the two quickly attracted the attention of the officers. After a while, an officer carrying three stars on his shoulders came over with the veterans. After the officer came over, he did not step forward to stop him, but watched the two fighting.
Li Xiang and Gao Jie, Gao Jie was knocked to the ground for a while, and Li Xiang was knocked to the ground for a while. They fought with each other for a while, and a winner was decided. Gradually, the two became tired, and both sides were tired. Stop.
"Why don't you fight? Keep fighting."
The officer did not come to mediate, but actually encouraged the two to continue fighting. At this moment, even if Li Xiang and Gao Jie wanted to take action, they had no strength and looked at the officers in front of them with doubtful eyes.
"You can't fight anymore, right? Let's end it."
Then, the officer said to the squad leader standing aside: "Squad leader, come here."
The squad leader quickly ran to the officer's side and stood at attention.
"Company commander, what are your instructions?"
"These two assassins are interesting. You can bring them to our company and put them in your squad later."
"Yes, company commander."
After the officer left, a squad leader came to Li Xiang.
"Your name is Li Xiang, right? You're very brave. If you fight on the first day you join the army, you'll have a hard time later."
The squad leader said something meaningful, and then hooked his hands to Li Xiang and Gao Jie, motioning them to follow him. Gao Jie heard this and smiled proudly.
