He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

They really learned a lot in the military academy this year, and at least they have no problem commanding operations.

Just as Ji Baichang said, as long as the veterans below can listen to orders, there will be no problem in ensuring their safety.

Don't forget that they are no longer the rookies who knew nothing.

They are already graduates from military academy and are considered very qualified second lieutenants.

Moreover, the combat thinking and experience they possess are far beyond what an ordinary second lieutenant can possess.

"Okay, I feel more at ease with you guys around."

"By the way, for the three of you, it seems that the things sent by your original units have arrived now. They are all in the equipment warehouse. If you have time, go take a look and check if there is anything you missed."

"Your stuff is pretty heavy and big, what is it filled with?"

The instructor asked Lu Qinglong with some confusion.

When that thing was moved down, it took almost a platoon of veterans to move it down. In short, it was very difficult to move.

"Instructor, does our brigade have 25mm caliber machine gun shells?"

Lu Qinglong suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the instructor.

"Eh? Yes, there are, but aren't these things all in the First and Second Combined Battalions?"

"What's wrong? Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"

The instructor was a little confused, and the topic naturally changed from the equipment sent by their special operations brigade to Lu Qinglong's desire for 25mm caliber machine gun shells.

“That’s the kind of instructor.”

"When I was fighting before, you know that I can't use ordinary weapons with my size."

"In other words, ordinary weapons simply cannot satisfy me and cannot bring out my full capabilities."

"So when I was in the special operations brigade, my then company commander Chen and the battalion commander gave me a 25mm anti-aircraft machine gun as my main weapon."

"In that case, the 25mm caliber machine gun shells are also the ammunition I need to fire."

"Instructor, why don't you talk to the company commander and ask him to approve more of the missions or trainings you are going to have."

"The more ammunition I have, the safer you'll be, right?"

After hearing what Lu Qinglong said, the instructor's expression changed from confusion to shock.

Wow! It turns out that there is a self-propelled high-speed machine gun in the company, right?
A 25mm caliber machine gun is used as an ordinary rifle. Listen to yourself, does this sound like something a human being can say?

"Well, about this matter, I will tell the company commander about it after he comes back."

"The equipment you put in the armory includes this 25mm caliber machine gun, right?"

"No wonder I was wondering why it was so heavy, so this is what happened."

The instructor finally understood what was going on. He nodded at them, asked the three of them some other questions about the company, and then let them go back to watching the news.

By the time the four of them returned, the news broadcast upstairs in the club had finished, and the veterans from each class returned to their respective classes.

Because today is Friday and there is no night training, the veterans can still play with their mobile phones for a while.

"Platoon Leader Lu, do you want to play games?"

Among them, there were some veteran soldiers who asked Lu Qinglong whether he played games.

After all, when people are bored in the army, most of them will play games to pass the time.

"Games? I don't play games much, but the second platoon leader Ji Baichang likes to play games. If you are short of people, you can ask him."

Lu Qinglong waved his hand and, as usual, made a video call to his mother and Lin Qinghan during the break to talk about interesting things that happened that day.

The evening time is also a rare time for rest.

The following Saturday and Sunday were both days of rest. On Saturday morning, which was the parking lot day, Lu Qinglong and the other two, as platoon leaders, took the veterans under their command to pull out and maintain all the guns and vehicles that needed maintenance in the company.

Lu Qinglong also carried his huge wooden box containing ceramic steel armor from the equipment warehouse and walked to the open space in front of the company gate.

The old soldiers who were maintaining their guns nearby cast puzzled looks at Lu Qinglong.

They were all very curious about what was inside the large wooden box that the platoon leader was holding.

It was said that it took four or five veterans to move the wooden box down, but now their platoon leader can move it alone? And it looks so easy?
"Yo Qinglong, the ceramic steel armor has been sent over."

"Let me help you with the maintenance. It just so happens that the vehicles in my second row have already been maintained. It looks like each of them is well maintained."

Ji Baichang, who was walking back from outside the company, saw Lu Qinglong dismantling a huge wooden box and suddenly became interested.

If we calculate this way, it seems that they haven't maintained Lu Qinglong's ceramic steel armor for a long time.

After all, when I was in military school, I couldn’t carry the ceramic steel armor with me, and it was the veterans in the special operations brigade who helped maintain it.

"Sure, Bai Chang. After I finish maintaining my ceramic armor, I'll also go check on the maintenance status of our platoon's vehicles."

Lu Qinglong nodded.

If you maintain it by yourself, the speed is indeed not as fast as if two people do it together.

Now it’s Saturday morning car park day.

Probably the process they need to do is to divide a platoon into two groups, one group to maintain several Dongfeng Mengshi vehicles, two Bobcat all-terrain vehicles, and a flat-head diesel troop carrier in the platoon.

As for the remaining half of the people, they need to carry out a simple maintenance on all the guns belonging to the row, including the Type 191 automatic rifles, squad machine guns, and sniper rifles.

After all maintenance is completed, they, as platoon leaders, will conduct a careful inspection in the absence of the company commander. After confirming that there are no problems, they will park the vehicle in the proper parking spot, return the guns to the armory, and then they can go to the company headquarters to collect the mobile phones.

This is roughly the process.

As for Ji Baichang, the second platoon where they were located had significantly fewer vehicles than the first platoon, because their second platoon was mainly responsible for carrying out the mission of fire support, so they were not like the first platoon.

There are only two cars in total, so if it is parking lot day, go and check on the maintenance status of these two cars first.

Once the maintenance is completed, all the personnel can be brought back to help maintain the guns and weapons.

However, their second row has more heavy firepower weapons than the first row, so the overall maintenance time of the first and second rows is actually similar.

"Okay, I just helped check your row. I think the car will need maintenance for a while."

"Then we will help you maintain your ceramic steel armor first. I estimate that after the maintenance is completed, the vehicles in your row will be almost ready."

Ji Baichang said that he was actually slowly adapting to the process of identity change.

I guess I'm a platoon leader. If I say I'm busy, it's not that busy.

But if you say you have free time, then you definitely can't have free time.

Especially now that the company commander has not returned yet, these new platoon leaders will be mainly responsible for all the big and small matters of the company.

It’s mainly just a lot of miscellaneous small things.

Sometimes I have to go to the government building for unknown reasons to help on official business.

There is also a family building next to it. If a leader needs help moving, the company will need people to help on errands.

There are a lot of trivial things.

Anyway, Lu Qinglong felt that there were a lot of trivial things in the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade. Some things that he didn't have to worry about in the Special Operations Brigade, he had to worry about every day after coming here.

"Oh Qinglong! I still think it's better to be in the Special Operations Brigade."

"Just tell me, during the two days of rest on Saturday and Sunday, will we have time to rest properly?"

"I'm either taking people on a business trip or helping out in the office building. Is this considered a rest?!"

"I'm really angry right now. I'm going to talk to the instructor about this matter right away. Why don't they let us have a fight or something?"

"Now, there are so many things going on every day! I might as well be a recruit. At least recruits are more comfortable. As long as they are physically fit, there won't be so many messes like now."

Ji Baichang couldn't help but complain and vented his grievances of the past two days to Lu Qinglong.

It seems that the gap between what he originally thought of as a platoon leader's life and reality was a bit exaggerated.

He was originally imagining that he was commanding a platoon of people in combat and inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.

Then, by making great contributions, he gradually becomes a company commander, battalion commander, chief of staff, brigade commander, and finally an army commander.

But the reality is really cruel.

He was already a little tired of these messy little things.

Being an officer just sounds impressive, but in reality it's nothing.

It’s okay for those who are capable, like Ji Baichang and the other three, who can at least command the veteran soldiers under them.

At least under their command, these veterans didn't gossip or do anything else behind their backs.

For example, Li Xiang from the fourth row was in a bad condition. Fortunately, Lu Qinglong and the other three came over and his condition got a little better.

Otherwise, his life would be miserable.

"Okay, okay, the captain will be back soon."

"When I was watching the news on Friday night, the instructor also said that after we wait for the company commander to come, we will conduct a series of training and then we will have missions to assign."

"I can't help it. I know I've been feeling very frustrated during this period, but there's nothing I can do about it

Lu Qinglong reached out and patted Ji Baichang on the shoulder.

These two days are said to be rest days, but in fact they are asked to do all kinds of miscellaneous chores, and they don't have much time to rest.

The main reason was that the brigade commander wanted to visit their company to see how their company was developing.

The result was that they did a thorough cleaning these two days, and they almost took out all the floor tiles, washed them again, and put them back.

If it was a special operations brigade, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Even if Lu Qinglong's father came, the brigade would just have to clean up a little.

Therefore, Ji Baichang felt that this heavy armored combined brigade looked quite formal, but in fact, its face-saving efforts were too obvious, which really distracted the attention of their subordinates.

In fact, Ji Baichang also knew that this was to find something for them to do, but this was too inexplicable.

It's supposed to be rest time, but we sacrifice our rest time to do these miscellaneous things like cleaning.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was no wonder that these companies under the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade were not as good as the Special Operations Brigade in terms of physical fitness and military quality.

For the special operations brigade, they rest after training every day, and everything depends on the training results.

This resulted in completely different cultures between the two brigades.

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do. We can only wait for the company commander to come back and then see what to do."

"I hope the company commander can be more reliable when he comes back and assign us some slightly more dangerous missions or something like that."

"I've become so slack in the brigade that I can't wait to go on the mission."

Ji Baichang stretched his neck, put on his armor, and planned to practice some more before going to bed.

Now daily extra training has become an indispensable thing.

At least Ji Baichang enjoyed the extra training process very much. Only during the extra training did Ji Baichang feel that he was alive and felt a little passionate.

At noon the next day, after finishing the morning's adaptive training, the veterans returned to the company and saw from afar a captain who looked a little serious standing in the open space in front of the company gate.

These veterans understood that this captain was their company commander.

The originally lazy team suddenly became a lot more nervous.

"Eh? Wait a minute, it seems like our company commander. Why does he look so familiar?"

Lu Qinglong narrowed his eyes and looked at the captain's back in front of him.

"Is this true? What kind of captain can we know?"

"Besides the officers in our brigade, the only captains we know are the commander and instructor of the recruit company, right?"

Ji Baichang expressed his incomprehension. He was also looking at the captain standing at the front door of the company.

"Huh? He looks familiar."

As if he had noticed that the company's main force had returned, the captain standing in the open space in front of the company's gate turned towards the direction of the team.

After Ji Baichang saw the other person's appearance clearly, he immediately opened his mouth excitedly:

"Oh my god! This, this, this! Isn't this our platoon leader Zhou You?"

"Turtle! When did Platoon Leader Zhou You become a captain? And was he also transferred to the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade?!"

The captain standing at the company's door at this time was none other than Zhou You, the former lieutenant platoon leader of the first platoon of the first company of their special operations brigade.

I just don't know when his rank was promoted to a higher level, and now he is a captain! (End of this chapter)
