This year's recruit training of E Division adopts the form of unified management. The division establishes new corps, divided into four recruit battalions. Each regiment sends squad leaders to serve as the backbone of the new corps. Basically, it is the principle of "unified management, each regiment brings its own".
The leader of the Tiger Regiment, Li Haiou, was standing on the lawn in front of the dormitory building of the Fourth Company of the Second Battalion of Recruits. He was asking Liang Hu, the commander of the Second Battalion of Recruits, whether all the preparations for welcoming the new recruits were in place. As he asked, his eyes moved. I glanced at the gate of the camp intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Haiou is 41 years old this year. He is not the youngest in the main group, but he is not the oldest either. In his own words, he is "just right".
His hometown is on the seaside. His father, Lao Li, served as a militiaman in the coastal defense company when he was still Xiao Li. He often patrolled with the local naval garrison. In the 1960s, he even personally captured a Taiwanese spy who had infiltrated from the sea. .
Xiao Li's dream at that time was to join the army and put on a navy uniform, put on a sea spirit hat with two streamers, and stand on the side of the ship with a steel gun in his hand.
It is a pity that cross-strait relations gradually eased and the coastal defense company withdrew. Over the years, Xiao Li became an old Li, and his original dream did not come true after all.
Later, Lao Li got married and had a son. He sent his son to join the army with all his heart. He originally wanted to be a navy, but accidentally mistakenly became an army. The seagull failed to fight the waves at sea and became a tiger on land.
When Li Haiou finally did not disappoint his father, he worked hard step by step from a soldier to a cadre. In the year when he was promoted to work, Li Haiou, who had always been thrifty and well-managed, got a rare fortune and set up twenty tables in the village. After getting drunk, he grabbed his son and insisted on going to the ancestral hall to swear to his ancestors that his son would be the best soldier.
Li Haiou lived up to his father, Lao Li. The work of the Tigers was impressive, and the banners of the advanced units in training were carried back to the regiment headquarters every year.
Li Haiou is very attentive to recruiting new recruits every year. The reason why we are interested is because the quality of the recruits each year directly affects the combat effectiveness of the Tigers in the next two years.
It is said that the army is a melting pot that can beat rotten iron into good steel.
In fact, this sentence is quite idealistic.
To forge good steel, you must first have a suitable piece of material.
After all, rotten iron is still a piece of iron, not plastic. If you are a piece of plastic, even if you invite Sun Dasheng Sun Wukong to be the squad leader, you cannot turn plastic into steel.
Therefore, recruiting soldiers is an extremely important matter, and it is also a science.
Commander Li personally went to the recruit camp today, not only to check the orientation work, but also because the first batch of recruits were about to arrive today. He couldn't sit still in the regiment. After getting up from lunch break, he immediately asked the driver to drive him to the new camp in a hurry. The location of the Corps.
Although it is a new military camp, the regiments are actually secretly competing against each other. Because each battalion is managed by backbones and cadres sent by different regiments, the new regiment leader is the deputy chief of staff in the division who is in charge of training. In fact, this arrangement contains the careful thoughts of the division chief.
Aren't you amazing? Whether it's a mule or a horse, whoever is good at it will lead his own batch of new recruits well and bring out samples, preferably flowers.
The most indispensable thing in the army is competition. Who is a hero and who is a good man can be compared on the training ground.
Li Haiou is a cadre who was promoted from a soldier, and he is not lacking in competitiveness. It is said that cadres promoted directly by soldiers will not last long, and most of them will change jobs when they reach the battalion level.
It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s that I can’t do it anymore. The reason is very simple. The higher the level, the more academic and cultural support is needed. Soldiers are promoted to the teaching brigade and the dry training brigade. After graduating from the one-year training brigade, they directly serve as platoon leaders. When they reach the company level, they can make do with it, but they really get the job. After reaching the battalion level, when compared with college students, the gap becomes clear.
Therefore, Li Haiou is essentially an extremely competitive group leader, otherwise he would not be able to achieve this level.
Because of this, when it comes to theoretical foundation, Li Haiou may not be the top leader in E Division, but when it comes to hard work, no one can compare with Li Haiou.
In the past few days, Li Haiou was busy with veterans' retirement and winter training arrangements. He was already very busy, but today he still took time out of his busy schedule to go to the Second Battalion of the New Corps to personally inspect the orientation work here.
"The cooking team has to work in two shifts these days and is on call at any time. The time for new recruits to arrive at the army is not fixed. Sometimes they arrive at night. Some soldiers are far away and they will have thoughts and emotions while running around. Hot noodles must be prepared at any time and wait for them to arrive. You can have hot food.”
"By the way, there is also the water in the shower room. The boiler needs to be heated. The water temperature is not enough. The recruits will fall ill as soon as they arrive. Why do they need to train?"
"...By the way, have all the instructors in each company of yours received centralized training? They need to keep up with ideological work. National Day is coming soon. The cultural programs in the camp that should be arranged must be kept up with, and entertainment must be arranged well to avoid accidents. Thoughts and emotions, remember not to be a deserter. If you are a deserter, I will remove you from your post!"
Liang Hu, commander of the second battalion of the recruits, nodded after being warned by Li Haiou. The regiment leader was someone he admired. Liang Hu dissatisfied with others, but Li Haiou admired the regiment leader.
When it comes to military matters, the 41-year-old Li Haiou can compete with the squad leaders on the training field without losing any of his skills. Even in his middle age, this military quality alone shows how much sweat and blood he had to train to achieve it.
In a word, Liang Hu felt at ease following Captain Li.
"Captain, don't worry. I guarantee you and the regiment party committee that there won't be any problems with the recruits' work, otherwise you will remove me from my post."
Seeing his favorite general confident, Li Haiou had a smile in his eyes, but his tone was still very serious: "It's not just about stability. Just seeking stability is useless. Soldiers are prepared to fight. We must always remember that those who can fight and win are Thinking and soldiers must be refined, especially..."
At this point, Li Haiou stopped talking and turned his head to look in the direction of the First and Third Battalions.
"We can't let the other two brother groups look down on us, especially the 1st group. They brag all day long that they are the ace of the E division. After the new training this year, the soldiers we lead must beat them in the big test. , don’t let them always be arrogant.”
Liang Hu said: "When these new recruits come, the division has divided their files in advance. After they leave the reconnaissance camp, they can be selected first. We don't have this power. A good soldier depends not only on training, but also on his foundation. Commander , I heard that the commander of the 1st regiment has been running to the division headquarters recently, is that right..."
Speaking of this, Liang Hu frowned worriedly.
Li Haiou laughed grandly, and then said: "He has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder! Let me tell you..."
After saying that, he lowered the tone to the lowest level and whispered instructions almost close to Liang Hu's ear.
As Liang Hu listened, his tense face gradually relaxed like a flower.
"Captain! High!"
He couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
After the two of them deliberated in low voices, Li Haiou suddenly remembered something.
"I just saw Hou Jun on the cadre list. Didn't Hou Jun go to participate in the sniper selection? And arranged for him to lead new recruits?"
Hearing this, Liang Hu hurriedly explained: "Captain, Hou Jun is going to participate in the selection of the international sniper competition, but his training has come to an end, and the training location is over the teaching brigade, very close to our place. I'm thinking about it. , this guy is the best squad leader in our battalion. He has rich experience in leading troops. This time I asked him not to be the squad leader, but to serve as the acting platoon leader of the platoon of the fourth company of new recruits. There is a raging soldier and a den of raging generals. He will be the acting platoon leader. Platoon commander, be more careful."
Li Haiou said: "Liang Hu, this horse is easy to use, but you can't use it to death. I remember that Hou Jun hasn't visited his home for many years, right? Why don't you take advantage of the National Day this year to let him go home and have a look?"
Liang Hu explained: "Captain, you are wronging me by saying that. It's not that I don't let him go back to visit relatives, it's that he doesn't want to go back."
"Don't want to go back?" Li Haiou asked curiously: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to visit relatives?"
Liang Hu said: "I also asked him if there was anything going on at home, and he said no. What can I do?"
Li Haiou said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to find time to talk to him..."
Liang Hu changed the topic and asked about another matter: "Captain, I recently heard from a fellow soldier at the military headquarters that our army may need to undergo military reform. Does this matter have anything to do with our regiment?"
Li Haiou glanced at Liang Hu: "You are quite well informed. This matter has not been finalized. Just keep it in your mind and don't go around making random noises."
Liang Hu said with a smile: "Captain, you still don't know me? My mouth is locked. However, I am just a little worried..."
Li Haiou refused to explain and interrupted Liang Hu: "What are you worried about? Why do we soldiers think so much? Leaves can't fall from the sky, and our heads can't be smashed! Even if the military is reformed, can we change the designation of our Tiger Regiment?"
Liang Hu smiled a little reluctantly and moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing.
Suddenly, Li Haiou's eyes became brighter, shining into the distance like a radar.
On the boulevard in the direction of the division headquarters gate, two dark green buses were driving towards this direction, with big red flowers hanging on the fronts, which were particularly conspicuous among the verdant green.
"The new recruits are here, hurry up and pick them up and do as I say!"
