"Lao Hou?!"
"Old Tong?!"
Tong Zhi and Hou Jun recognized each other in an instant.
The two hugged each other as soon as they got up, clenched their fists and beat each other's chest.
"long time no see!"
"Yes, it has been three years. I heard that I would come here, and I thought that there was a high probability that I would meet you. I didn't expect that I guessed it correctly!"
As Tong Zhi spoke, his eyes fell on Hou Jun's military rank.
"Still haven't mentioned it yet?"
Hou Jun also saw Tong Zhi's military rank.
"Isn't it the same for you?"
While the two were talking, they saw Acting Company Commander Chen Staff quickly come down from upstairs, walk quickly to the roadside, go up and shake hands with everyone one by one, and said hurriedly: "Oh, I hope for the stars and the moon, I can't." I’ve been looking forward to having you here.”
The expression was like that of the people in enemy-occupied areas who were looking forward to the arrival of the Red Army.
After saying that, he waved his hand.
"Go to the company headquarters first. Let's sit down for a while. We will come down later to pick up your luggage and go to your assigned squad."
All seven of them were carrying luggage. It was quite inconvenient for Staff Chen to see it. He happened to see a platoon of people standing on the roadside, so he waved to Hou Jun and said: "Platoon leader, bring your people over and pick them up." The luggage will be put in your row first, and then we can take it to other rows after we have sorted it out."
"Okay!"
Hou Jun agreed, led his soldiers to take the luggage from the hands of the seven people, and carried it to his row room without saying a word.
Watching the seven people go up to the second floor and go to the small conference room of the company headquarters, Li Zheng asked Hou Jun curiously: "Platoon leader, are these the special forces soldiers who are rumored to be assigned to our company?"
Hou Jun scratched his chin, glanced back and forth at the windows of the company headquarters, and then said with certainty: "I think it's probably an old acquaintance who greeted me just now. Do you know who it is? Blood Wolf Brigade A top veteran of the Blood Wolf Commando. We participated in two training camps together back then. He is a master, with good marksmanship and extremely comprehensive qualities. At his level, he is not too much to be a company commander, but he just ate the same food as me. Unfortunately, my education is not that high, there is no hope of getting into the military academy, and I can’t get promoted, I guess..."
He wanted to say that Tong Zhi, like him, could only wait until he was discharged from the army, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly found that his logic was inconsistent.
Since you are waiting to be discharged from the army, why are you still being mobilized to this newly established special operations brigade before you are discharged from the army?
That's not right...
Zhang Jian couldn't help but asked: "Platoon leader, there are a total of nineteen people here, have they all been assigned to our camp?"
Hou Jun thought for a moment and didn't figure it out.
He couldn't answer the questions Zhang Jian asked.
The brigade commander went to all the major military regions and heard that he had brought back nineteen men. They were all divided into the second battalion. What to do with the other battalions?
"You ask me, who should I ask?!"
Li Zheng noticed that there was a private among the seven people, which surprised him.
I heard that these nineteen people are all powerful figures in the special forces of the major military regions. The brigade commander recruited them to take the lead. The next training of this special operations brigade will depend on whether the nineteen seeds can take root and sprout here. .
"Platoon leader, I heard that these dozen people came here to serve as special operations instructors for our brigade, but I just saw that one of these people is a private, and he is an air force. He doesn't look like a special forces soldier at all?"
Hou Jun raised his eyelids, rolled his eyes, and said to Li Zheng with an expression of "You have never seen the world": "A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and a sea cannot be measured. That private is an air force, maybe someone from the Thor Commando team." Come on, our special operations brigade will definitely learn to airborne in the future. Maybe they are parachute instructors. I used to go to the army's elite shooting training, and I saw their people. I am not inferior to them in playing guns. I can say When it comes to skydiving, I’m an expert!”
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng's appearance just now flashed through his mind.
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong.
After all, I have been a soldier for more than eight years, and I can lead a company of soldiers.
But experience told Hou Jun that the Air Force private did not look like an instructor.
"but……"
He himself was not sure about his opinion, so he left a trail.
"That private does not look murderous..."
Fatty Wei was on the side to smooth things over for Hou Jun: "Platoon leader, maybe he is like the top masters in martial arts. He has reached the state where the three flowers gather at the top and the divine light is restrained. His appearance is no longer something that we mere mortals can tell. .”
Hou Jun looked at Fatty Wei in astonishment for a long time, and suddenly said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Wei Guoxing, I really can't tell, you are a fucking talent!"
Not long after, I saw the clerk coming down from upstairs in a hurry. When I entered the platoon room, I saw Hou Jun and said, "Platoon Hou, the company commander asked you to go up to the company headquarters."
"Me?" Hou Jun was a little surprised.
The clerk was obviously in a hurry: "Yes, it's just you, hurry up!"
After saying that, he ran to other doors to inform the second platoon leader Tian Zengqi.
When Hou Jun arrived at the company door, he heard someone talking inside before he entered. When he listened carefully, he found that it was his old friend Tong Zhi.
Tong Zhi said: "I don't agree! Please let me go to another row! I won't stay in one row!"
Hou Jun's heart skipped a beat.
Not waiting in line?
Tong Zhi has no problem with him. He is an old acquaintance. Why don't he want to go to the first row?
Then I heard Staff Officer Chen say: "This is the most reasonable arrangement. The second platoon has a platoon leader, and the third platoon has a platoon leader Linghu. If you don't want to be the platoon leader of the first platoon, who will be? You are the oldest. The platoon is Hou Jun acting as the platoon leader, and you are also acting as the platoon leader. Your military service is one year older than him, so why is it inappropriate?"
"Then I can be the squad leader, the first squad leader." Tong Zhi was very stubborn: "You asked me to take Hou Jun's position as platoon leader when I just came here? I, Tong Zhi, want face!"
Staff Officer Chen was obviously a little angry. He was probably facing a talent that had been poached, and he was not prone to anger. He patiently introduced his principles to suppress Tong Zhi: "Tong Zhi! You are an old non-commissioned officer. You know the army rules and regulations, and you must obey orders and obey orders." ! Do you understand? Revolution is not a dinner party! Personnel arrangements are not human emotions! This is an order from a superior!"
Tong Zhi still frowned and retorted: "Okay, whose order is it? The brigade commander's? I'll go find the brigade commander and tell him!"
After saying that, I heard footsteps coming towards the door.
Hou Jun knew he couldn't escape, so he simply opened the door before Tong Zhi went out.
The two met face to face at the door.
Hou Jun didn't wait for Tong Zhi to react and pushed him back into the conference room.
"Don't make trouble!"
He grabbed Tong Zhi, and then said to Staff Chen who was standing across the conference table: "Company Commander, I agree with your arrangement and obey the orders of my superiors. I voluntarily resigned from the position of acting platoon leader of the first platoon, and Tong Zhilai served as the acting platoon leader. .”
"You!" Tong Zhi's eyes rounded.
Without waiting for him to say anything else, Hou Jun immediately said seriously: "Old Tong, I understand that we are good friends, but I don't talk about feelings with you, I talk to you about the facts. I don't understand the special warfare profession, I don't know how to play with guns. I'm pretty good at it, but how do you want me to lead a platoon for professional training? How about teaching infantry?"
Tong Zhi said: "Then I will be your monitor."
Hou Jun was amused: "Come on! What kind of international jokes are you making! You don't even look at your military age. You are one year older than me, and you are the squad leader? My face is not made of iron, it's not that hard! You... Aren’t you going to slap me in the face?”
Tong Zhi couldn't refute.
He knew that this was actually the best arrangement.
I can't live with myself and can't get over the psychological barrier.
He is an old non-commissioned officer, and Hou Jun is also an old non-commissioned officer. Their experiences are very similar. They participated in the top training camp together and are good friends who talk about everything.
They talked about each other's experiences with each other, so he couldn't accept it when Staff Officer Chen said he wanted him to be the platoon leader and Hou Jun to be the squad leader.
Now that Hou Jun has said this, he can't refute it at all.
Staff Officer Chen was overjoyed. He walked around the conference table and came to Hou Jun. He started to boast: "Good! You are an old comrade and an old non-commissioned officer, and your consciousness is high! Hou Jun, as the acting company commander, I also sympathize with you. also……"
He still wanted to say it, but Hou Jun stopped him: "Company commander, you asked me to take care of this, right? Okay, isn't this the end of the matter? I'll just be the squad leader. Platoon leader, let Tong Zhi act as your agent." .”
…
The soldiers in the first platoon were talking and speculating in the platoon room, imagining why the platoon leader Hou Jun would be called up, and guessing who their platoon would arrange to be the instructor this time.
The answer was soon revealed.
Hou Jun went to the company headquarters and came down after about ten minutes.
Then the company commander, Staff Officer Chen, asked the platoon leader on duty to blow the assembly whistle and announce the assembly of the entire company.
In less than five minutes, the soldiers of the fourth company lined up on the basketball court, waiting for the company commander's lecture.
"Take a break——"
Staff Officer Chen stood in front of the queue and gave the command, saying "swish" all the time, and then stood still.
Today, Staff Chen has a relaxed smile on his face, looking as happy as a groom who has married his wife.
"Comrades, this gathering is because there is an urgent matter to be announced. According to the request of the brigade, from today on, our second battalion will no longer be called the second battalion. It has been officially renamed the Special Forces Brigade Special Reconnaissance Battalion, and our fourth battalion will no longer be called the second battalion. The company will be changed to the First Company of the Special Operations Brigade Special Reconnaissance Battalion. A special operations brigade only needs one special reconnaissance battalion, so this is the importance and trust the brigade leaders have in our second battalion, and it is worthy of every one of our cadres and soldiers to be proud of!"
"besides--"
He deliberately drawled his voice.
"Starting from today, I will no longer be the acting commander of our fourth... no, first company, but will be appointed as the company instructor. This is official, not acting. You will call me instructor in the future, and the company commander's position - "
He glanced sideways and made a pointing movement with his hand.
"Comrade Ji Zhizhao will take over for the time being! Everyone applauds and welcomes us!"
Bang bang bang bang——
The following began to applaud enthusiastically.
Amidst the applause, Ji Zhizhao took two steps forward, stood at attention, and then saluted everyone in the company.
"second lieutenant?"
In the team, Li Zheng heard the veterans beside him whispering.
"Second Lieutenant Company Commander?"
"Fuck, this is the speed of a rocket!"
"Is this qualification okay?"
Veterans just talk a lot.
In fact, it's no wonder they were surprised.
It was rare to be a lieutenant, a company commander, let alone a second lieutenant.
But fortunately it's a temporary one, so that makes sense.
After all, the special operations brigade has just been established, and it is the time to recruit people. There were basically zero special operations talents in the past, and nineteen treasures were finally found. Of course, they were entrusted with important tasks.
Six people announced the results of the arrangement one by one.
When Tong Zhi was announced, it caused a commotion in the team.
"From now on, Hou Jun is notified that he will no longer serve as the acting platoon leader of the first platoon. Instead, he will be temporarily replaced by Staff Sergeant Tong Zhi. Hou Jun will be appointed as the squad leader of the first squad..."
"What's going on?!"
"You heard that right!"
"Platoon leader...this..."
There was a lot of chatter in the team.
Hou Jun had a very high prestige in the Fourth Company, which is now the Special Reconnaissance Battalion.
Everyone felt sorry for him.
Li Zheng quietly looked at his old platoon leader Hou Jun, and saw a trace of loneliness in his eyes.
