From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 121: The news of road repair spread to the group

The 7th Steel Company has fully launched synthetic training, officially moving away from the previous erroneous path of an assault company and striding forward towards a reconnaissance synthetic company that is better adapted to the future information battlefield and has stronger combat effectiveness than before.

Every soldier and officer in the company also ushered in a new starting point.

Shi Jin did not participate in the mid-year competition because Wu Liuyi and Chengcai were soldiers in his class. Therefore, he received a commendation from the regiment a few days after the training started.

One more honor will be given to outstanding leading cadres.

After the entire company completed the synthetic transformation, Shi Jin naturally became the squad leader of the spearhead reconnaissance squad.

As the "core" that Chen Jun has devoted all his efforts to building, as long as Shi Jin is leading this class, he will have plenty of opportunities to make meritorious contributions and receive awards in the future due to the importance of this class.

By that time, even if Shi Jin wanted to leave the army, I'm afraid his superiors would not approve it.

The tragedy of not being able to pass the fourth level and having to retire in tears will never happen to Shi Jin again. He will follow Chen Jun to the end.

Wu Liuyi is the machine gunner of the reconnaissance squad and one of the core forces and cannot go to other squads.

The qualifications for promotion to key squad leaders can only be postponed later.

Wu Liuyi was also willing to be Shi Jin's deputy squad leader, and taking advantage of the fact that he had more free time when he was not the squad leader, he made preliminary preparations for promotion under the arrangement of Chen Jun.

Chen Jun specially prepared some books for Wu Liuyi, including cultural books and military theory books.

After the daily training during the day, Chen Jun asked Wu Liuyi to seize the time to read books and study on his own, and learn as much as he could.

Promotion in the military is a complicated matter and it is not just a matter of merit.

After the preliminary approval is passed, you still need to go to a military academy for further study. If you cannot keep up with the academic subjects and cannot graduate, you will be in big trouble.

Furthermore, there will be some assessments in the early stages, and matters related to theory and culture will also affect whether one can be promoted successfully.

Laying the groundwork for military theory and cultural courses in advance is to be prepared for any eventuality. Chen Jun hopes that Wu Liuyi can be promoted to platoon leader before he becomes company commander.

Wu Liuyi also knew Chen Jun's good intentions, and did not feel tired because his rest time was taken up. Instead, he put in more effort.

I even took the initiative to shorten my sleep time and set aside two hours every day for self-study.

And ever since Xu Sanduo went to Grassland Class 5, the success that was the biggest problem for Chen Jun has now embarked on the path that is most suitable for him.

Become the sniper of your dreams.

And he is a sniper of the sharp reconnaissance squad.

After a series of chemical reactions produced by the competition, Chengcai's change is the biggest among everyone.

It seemed that he had found the value of life and the value of being in the army. The transformation in his thoughts and soul made Chengcai a different person.

A person who is recognized by his comrades and can get along well with everyone.

It is not like the original plot where he flatters everywhere and tries to build relationships everywhere, but because of his impure motives and evil intentions, in the end everything is in vain and he does not have any friends to succeed.

Such a rapid transformation in just over half a year can be said to be a miracle, or it can be said to be inevitable.

There is no need to say much about how important Chen Jun’s role was in this.

It's mainly due to various psychological effects.

Chengcai was extremely eager to stay in the army and did not want to go back to the poor mountain village to farm for the rest of his life, so he felt a strong sense of anxiety because of his desire.

Strong anxiety will bring about psychological reactions, the most direct of which is fear and terror.

I was afraid that I would not be able to stay in the army because of my lack of ability, I was afraid of returning to the poor mountain valley, I was afraid that I was not capable enough, I was afraid of offending my superiors and being bullied...

Even if he gave up the mission in the old A assessment in the end, it was because he was not confident in his own abilities and was afraid of dying if he couldn't complete the mission.

If one has outstanding abilities and is confident that he can complete the task, there is no such thing as giving up.

People's fear.

It all comes from lack of confidence.

Nothing else!

It is because of too many fears that success is completely buried.

This is why Chengcai lost his original intention, his eyes could no longer see the world clearly, and he took a detour under the influence of fear.

Eventually he became a selfish person.

It was not until he suffered a severe blow at Old A that he completely lost all his morale and began to think about leaving the army.

It means that everything has returned to the original starting point. Without the "root" of the desire to stay in the army, Chengcai finally came to his senses and became sober.

At that time, Chengcai finally grew up and became a qualified soldier.

It's a bit like putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly.

and so.

The reason why Chengcai was selfish, the reason why he betrayed the 7th Steel Company, and the reason why he gave up the mission during the assessment, all of these were actually due to two reasons -

Afraid of being eliminated from the army and afraid of not being capable enough.

Now, after being promoted by Chen Jun, he has won honors such as the third-class merit, the second-class collective merit, and the third-class collective merit.

He was also able to take first place in the division competition and became the strongest sniper in the seventh company.

The most important thing is...

The strongest companies won through the division competition inspired him to have a sense of honor and mission, and made him have a strong sense of belonging to the 7th Steel Company.

Human emotions are amazing.

A timid mother who is afraid of snakes and mice, once her child is in danger, she would rush forward even if it is a tiger, and she is not afraid of death at all.

The soldiers' sense of honor and mission are aroused, and the energy that can be unleashed is even more terrifying.

Success inspires.

It means he has the potential for courage.

Today's success can be fully justified as having the strength, status, honor, background and noble people.

This is completely different from the character in the original plot who had to fight on his own and had no one to help him.

With such a talent, is he still worried about being eliminated by the army? Is he still worried about his lack of strength and lack of confidence? Is he still too cautious and worried about offending his superiors?

of course not.

It is the complete opposite of that. Today’s successful people are very confident.

Self-confidence made him no longer have any fear in his heart. The absence of fear made his eyes clear and his mind was no longer consumed by interests.

Therefore, becoming a talent is equivalent to skipping a stage and directly growing into a qualified soldier.

of course.

The talented people who skipped stages and grew up early are not as perfect as in the original plot in the end, and they still have some flaws.

For example, because he was overconfident, he was a little jumpy in the company.

There are already signs of turning into a thorny force.

Not only did he dare to sit on an equal footing with the veterans, he even dared to approach and put his arm around the squad leaders of other squads, showing none of the fear and respect that new recruits had for the veterans.

The veterans are still quite uncomfortable with this.

After all, the veterans are used to the new recruits being respectful and acting like mice seeing a cat in front of them. Suddenly, they encounter an alternative new recruit who doesn't serve tea or water, which really makes them uncomfortable.

If he were in an ordinary army, or if Chengcai was an ordinary recruit, he would definitely be scolded for being so arrogant. At least he would be dragged to the small hill behind the toilet and given a good lesson.

In the army in the late 1990s, the military ethos was still based on seniority, and people were quite tough in doing things.

It is common for veterans to defeat new recruits.

Even in the 21st century, it is still common for veterans to target new recruits.

Unfortunately, the company commander of the 7th Steel Company, Gao Cheng, has a strange personality. He likes to be competitive, have a bad temper, and be a troublemaker with outstanding abilities.

He really doesn't want an incompetent soldier.

In addition, Chengcai is known as the strongest recruit in the 702nd Regiment, and he has won the third-class merit and the second-class collective merit, so he is really qualified to show off in front of the veterans.

Not to mention the sharp reconnaissance squad that Chengcai joined. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was under the protection of Chen Jun.

Who is Chen Jun?

He's a tough guy who even the company commander has to give way to.

Therefore, although the veterans were a little unhappy, they did not get angry about it. They could only force themselves to adapt to the fact that the new recruits were at the same level as them.

Chen Jun also discovered Chengcai's eccentricity and was not very polite to the veterans.

He seemed to have regarded himself as a veteran.

But he did not interfere. As a certain great man said, young people are full of energy.

This is a manifestation of the bloodiness of young people.

In the wolf-like culture of the 7th Steel Company, there won't be any major harm and there is no need to interfere too much.

Just say a few words of reminder when you have time and are chatting.

Chengcai treated Chen Jun's words as if they were imperial decrees. He tended to listen to Chen Jun's words, and in the following days, he indeed restrained himself a lot.

He also took advantage of his good relationship with Chen Jun to mention Xu Sanduo from time to time.

He mentioned Xu Sanduo's advantages in many aspects, such as his good memory and fast running speed, and also explained that Xu Sanduo was a little dull, but actually a nice person.

Chen Jun knew what Chengcai was up to. It was obvious that he wanted Chen Jun to help him rescue the person.

Chengcai knew that Xu Sanduo was assigned to Class 5, a place known as a paradise for bad soldiers and a graveyard for old soldiers, and was worried that Xu Sanduo would not be able to stay in the army.

You will be sent back once the compulsory period is over!
In addition, in Chengcai's mind, he always thought that Chen Jun had a good impression of Xu Sanduo.

That's why they tried to use indirect means at this time, trying to get Xu Sanduo to the 7th Steel Company through Chen Jun, the famous legendary lieutenant.

In fact, with Chen Jun's current influence, he really has the ability to get Xu Sanduo to the Seventh Company.

But he didn't do it.

Because Chen Jun calculated with his fingers that Xu Sanduo's road should be almost repaired, and he would be back soon.

There is absolutely no need to spend all that effort trying to rescue them. It would be better to focus your energy on training your troops.

Chengcai is thinking about the fool Xu Sanduo, and Xu Sanduo is also thinking about coming to the Seventh Company where Chengcai is. When the time comes, Xu Sanduo will take the initiative to ask to come to the Seventh Company.

Chen Jun’s calculations are quite accurate.

Just as the 7th Steel Company entered the integrated training, a week later in the afternoon, the phone of the 5th Grassland Class rang. The caller was He Hongtao, the instructor of the 3rd Red Company.

"It seems that we are overjoyed and then sad."

Squad leader Lao Ma received a phone call and learned that the instructor would come in person tomorrow to check the road being repaired. He thought something had happened and became depressed and worried.

I remembered that yesterday afternoon a fleet of helicopters flew over the road they had just repaired and stayed in the air for a long time.

Everyone in Class 5 was also nervous and started to speculate.

Some speculated that the greenery near the camp was destroyed in order to build a road.

Some speculated whether some discipline had been violated.

Others speculated that the construction of the road exposed the location of the oil depot, making it a target of missile attack, leading to the superiors holding them accountable.

However, the oil depot is located in Inner Mongolia, and there is no human habitation within a hundred miles. Even if a war really breaks out, no one will find this place.

Not to mention that the oil depot only has one oil pipeline and it is not a refinery, so there is not much value in blowing it up.

After a bunch of blind guesses, none of the five people were reliable in the end. Everyone was really uneasy and worried that Xu Sanduo would be held accountable.

During the process of building this road, everyone in Class 5 was impressed by Xu Sanduo's perseverance.

Before they knew it, they had fallen in love with this silly new recruit.

Worried that Xu Sanduo would be held accountable by his superiors, the four veterans in Class 5 began to take the responsibility on themselves, hoping to protect the culprit "Xu Sanduo".

Xu Sanduo seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

Filled with this uneasy feeling, time unknowingly came to the next morning, and what was supposed to happen finally happened.

"Where are the people from Class 5? Why don't you come out? Someone is here to see you."

Instructor He Hongtao was sitting in military vehicle No. 212. He was too lazy to even step into the dormitory. He just stood outside on the side of the road, shouting at the top of his voice.

You don't even want to enter the door? Are you that angry?

Now the people in Class 5 are even more nervous!

They quickly put on their hats and took their belts, and ran out in a panic under the leadership of Lao Ma, and all came to the instructor.

"Come on, instructor, have a smoke."

"I have a fire here."

"Come on, let's go sit inside. It's windy outside."

"Instructor, how come you have time today? You remembered us."

Except for Xu Sanduo who kept his head down and said nothing, the other four people in Class 5 greeted He Hongtao warmly, trying to play the role of not hitting someone who smiles at them.

"I don't smoke."

The instructor pushed away the cigarette handed to him by Lao Ma, then went straight to the point and began asking Class 5 about the road construction.

The four veterans in Class 5 sighed inwardly and began to take the responsibility on themselves.

They were not afraid of the punishment they would receive for taking responsibility. They just wanted to protect the new recruit Xu Sanduo as a squad leader and a veteran.

This purest comradeship is one of the most precious emotions in the army.

however.

He Hongtao was not here to ask for accountability at all, but because the regiment called the battalion, and the battalion called the company.

I want to know why there is an extra road, how this road was built, etc.

He Hongtao had to pay special attention to the call from the group, so he rushed here in a hurry early in the morning.

Seeing that several people in Class 5 were vying to claim that they had repaired the building, He Hongtao thought they were trying to take credit for it.

He laughed and scolded angrily: "It's just a small matter. At most, it's just a regimental commendation. Look at you all, you are so useless. Is it necessary to grab the credit like this?"

"A commendation from the group? Grabbing the credit?"

When the four students from Class Five heard that they were not going to be held accountable, they immediately felt relieved and their expressions changed 180 degrees immediately.
