In those days, there were people leaving the Fourth Company every day.
Every morning a bus comes to pick people up and take them to the new company.
Or they could be discharged from the army, changed jobs, and sent to the station.
It has never been tried in Li Zheng's life experience.
He is no stranger to separation.
When he woke up in the hospital that year, his grandma and the doctor hid it from him at first and didn't tell him the truth that his parents had passed away.
It was not until about ten days later that his body recovered and the matter could no longer be concealed. A group of people entered the ward and stood in front of the window. Grandma sat down and hesitated for a long time, and finally burst into tears before she could say anything.
Also, when he was in high school, he was admitted to college.
After the college entrance examination, several close classmates got together, drank beer as an exception, and looked forward to the future. Someone shouted: "Ten years from now, no matter where we are, we must remember this time and get together again!"
But this time it's different.
When parents pass away, it is a scar in my heart that is permanent.
The classmates parted, it was a jar of aged wine buried in memory, and it would have to be opened one day sooner or later.
But this time, watching a comrade leave, having to repeat the same experience every day, felt like Ling Chi.
In fact, he felt that Hou Jun was even more uncomfortable.
All the soldiers in the platoon were brought out by him, no matter old or new.
Speaking of feelings, he had a deeper relationship with those soldiers than Li Zhenglai.
Especially on the day when company commander Xie Dong left, the whole company came out to see him off.
In fact, I don’t know if it counts as a full company, because half of the people are gone.
After seeing off Xie Dong, Hou Jun blew the muster whistle again and took out the remaining recruits in the platoon. They ran around the mountain road for ten kilometers with their backpacks on their backs.
Ten kilometers is very tiring, and the recruits have suffered enough.
At the end of the race, those with weaker physical abilities like pretty boy Jiang Xuan were almost carried back by others.
But no one objected.
No one had any complaints.
It's good to run ten kilometers.
This is the first time that Li Zheng feels that this is not bad.
After all, I'm tired and sleepy, so I don't have that much energy to think about when I get back.
In those days, the amount of training was several times greater than before.
After physical training, you should focus on professionalism, and after professional training, you should focus on physical fitness. Otherwise, you have to memorize various weapons and elements. Members of the sniper class like Li Zheng also have to wear rice grains and memorize sniper formulas.
That day, Hou Jun took his platoon with only one-third of its strength to the shooting range to practice shooting. While the soldiers were practicing, he sat in the grass behind and watched quietly.
Suddenly, he felt someone behind him, turned around subconsciously, and saw solemnity.
His eyes bypassed Zhuang Yan and looked into the distance.
The stately jeep was parked on the grass at the entrance to the shooting range. The driver was not seen. He obviously drove here by himself.
Zhuang Yan didn't say anything and sat down directly next to Hou Jun.
"How long have you been practicing with your rifle?"
Hou Jun didn't expect Zhuang Yan to ask him such a question directly. He was slightly startled and answered: "Three exercises."
Zhuang Yan said: "For an ordinary infantry company, it is enough, but an elite infantry company is not up to standard. Do you know how many rifle exercises the elite infantry have?"
Hou Jun said: "Five."
He solemnly shook his head: "Actually, there are six in total. One of them is used for special marksman assessment, and ordinary people cannot use it."
Hou Jun said: "Which 400-meter half-body target and 250-meter machine gun target are you talking about for shooting practice?"
solemnly nodded.
Hou Jun added: "The excellent rate of these soldiers in the three shooting exercises has reached more than 90%. Your leader is really good at selecting people."
The implication is that the soldiers left behind by the Fourth Company this time are not only new recruits with short service years, but also well-trained ones.
Zhuang Yan said: "You know we are going to change the special operations brigade, right?"
Hou Jun nodded. He found that Zhuang Yan had used the word "we", which obviously had a deep meaning, but it was not convenient for him to ask.
Seeing that he remained silent, Zhuang Yan asked again: "Do you like being a special soldier?"
Hou Junbing did not answer directly, but raised his chin towards the recruits in the distance and said, "The recruits like it very much."
After finishing speaking, I remembered something and asked again: "Our company has less than half of its people left now. Which company will merge with us?"
Zhuang Yan suddenly stood up, patted the grass clippings stuck to his body, and said to Hou Jun: "Don't worry, you are good soldiers. I will keep them of great use. As for who to merge with, you will know soon. After the merger, , you are still a platoon leader. But promise me, switching from special warfare to infantry is different from switching to infantry. The company commanders and deputy company commanders who will come by then are all old special operations. You have to put away your veteran airs and It’s not shameful to go to training as if you were a new recruit and ask for advice humbly.”
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
The solemn words made Hou Jun feel a little confused.
After returning home, he studied it carefully and found that what Zhuang Yan said was indeed very reasonable.
He was not familiar with the special warfare profession. He had had some superficial contact with it before. It was purely a matter of interest when he met soldiers from other special forces during training.
Now that the special operations brigade is changing, if I am still the acting platoon leader, I will have to master this special operations major no matter what.
Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter to embarrass oneself. How could someone from the fourth company be peeing like this?
He couldn't accept this.
After all the people on the list who wanted to leave were gone, the first news came. The candidate for the brigade commander of the special operations brigade was announced, and Zhuang Yan was appointed as the commander.
This time Hou Jun finally understood why Zhuang Yan used the word "we".
If Zhuang Yan was just an officer sent by his superiors to stay in the E Division before, now he is a serious commander of the special operations brigade of the D Group Army.
And what Zhuang Yan said, "You will know soon" was not bluffing at all.
On the third day after talking to Hou Jun, a platoon of soldiers had just returned from a five-kilometer run. From a distance, they saw several large trucks parked on the cement road next to the Fourth Company Basketball Court. Many people wearing camouflage uniforms jumped out of the trucks. , soldiers carrying large backpacks were carrying various supplies and luggage from the vehicle.
"Platoon commander, look!"
Fatty Wei was the first to shout.
"Someone is moving into our company."
After leading the men to the basketball court, Hou Jun recognized one of the corporals at a glance.
"King Liu Tian!"
He shouted to the corporal.
"Why are you here?"
The man turned around and saw Hou Jun, and said with a smile: "Platoon Leader Hou, we will be comrades in the same company from now on!"
"What!?"
Hou Jun was a little confused.
Liu Tianwang is the nickname of this corporal. In fact, his name is Liu Yihui, and he was a squad leader of the armed reconnaissance company of the E Division Reconnaissance Battalion.
Because he was pretty good-looking and often claimed to be handsome, he was jokingly called "King Liu" by his teammates when he was in the elite training team, which meant he was as handsome as Andy Lau.
Liu Yihui walked up to Hou Jun, looked at Hou Jun who was sweating profusely, and pointed in the direction of the barracks: "We will live in the same barracks from now on, and we will be comrades in the same company!"
