From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 16: Welcoming the new recruits...

Gao Cheng saw all the expressions on Chen Jun's face, including astonishment, surprise, and surprise.

All this was within his expectations!
Worried that Chen Jun would be nervous about being a platoon leader in a recruit company because he had never led soldiers before, Gao Cheng comforted him by saying, "Relax, being a platoon leader in a recruit company is not as difficult as you think.

You have already learned how to lead troops in military academy, but you have no practical experience. This is a good opportunity for you.

I will make special arrangements for your platoon and put the key squad leaders of our 7th Company in your platoon. People like Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi have rich experience in leading troops, so just let them do what you don't understand."

It is not difficult to hear from Gao Cheng's words that he has now begun to intentionally train Chen Jun.

That is why we gave Chen Jun such a good training opportunity and the chance to show himself, so that he could complete the "gilding" in the recruit camp.

As long as Chen Jun performs well in the recruit camp, he will be promoted legitimately when he returns to the Gaocheng company.

But the Chen Jun at this time is no longer the Chen Jun of that time. He is not a rookie who just graduated from the military academy, who knows nothing and needs to be led by a core squad leader.

Gao Cheng's comfort was completely unnecessary.

It's a pity that Chen Jun can't behave too abruptly, otherwise the huge change before and after will easily arouse suspicion, which will be detrimental to his continued development in the Seventh Company.

Therefore, in response to Gao Cheng's care and training, Chen Jun adopted a strategy of retreating in order to advance.

"Captain, although I did a pretty good job leading soldiers in the school's mock company, I've never had any actual experience. You can't blame me if I mess up."

Chen Jun's words were very insightful, and he affirmed his own abilities in a tactful way.

Actually, I am very confident.

In his previous life, he could lead the most top special forces brigade, and in this life, he is just a platoon in a recruit camp. That's a piece of cake for him.

"You are very good at hiding your abilities. I believe you have the ability to do it. A team of platoons can't defeat you."

Gao Cheng stood up and said, "Okay, the position of platoon leader is decided. You will come with me when the time comes. Let's stop here for today. I still have to talk to those key squad leaders."

"Okay, Captain, take care."

Chen Jun stood up to see Gao Cheng off and was still a little excited at this moment.

He was so surprised that a pie suddenly fell from the sky.

As for the three core squad leader positions, Chen Jun could basically guess them. Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi were definitely among them, but the remaining one was harder to guess.

It could be the squad leader of Class 1, Lan Haiyang, or it could be the squad leader of Class 2, Gu Zhanfei, or it could be the squad leader of Class 6, Jin Dashan.

The three of them are second-class non-commissioned officers, the same rank as Wu Liuyi.

All are competitive!

If it was a month and a half ago, Chen Jun would still care about who to choose as the core squad leader, worried that the wrong person would be chosen and that he, as the platoon leader, would not be able to control the situation.

But now he has influence over the entire company, so it doesn't matter to him who is chosen.

As for Shi Jin, who was not in the company because he was recruiting soldiers in the field and had not felt his counterattack, Chen Jun was not worried at all.

Shi Jin is a well-known good guy and will definitely cooperate with Chen Jun's work.

So I didn’t think about it anymore.

the next day.

According to the readjusted training plan, the five-kilometer light cross-country race was officially upgraded to eight kilometers, and Chen Jun personally took the lead in leading everyone to practice together.

The days of special training were the same as usual, both painful and happy for the veterans.

The pain lies in the fact that the training difficulty has increased. The body needs to break through the bottleneck in order to improve performance, and breaking through the bottleneck requires hard training.

The happiness lies in the fact that after every day of training, I can clearly feel the difference and my body is getting stronger.

The days of pain and happiness continued like this, and before we knew it, another week had passed, and it was November 1995, 11. The regiment finally issued an official order.

Let the company commander Gao Cheng take the key personnel to the recruit company to prepare to welcome the new recruits. The key personnel of other companies must also arrive before the 26th.

At this time, the 7th Steel Company's cross-country special training had not yet been completed, and Chen Jun's muscle building had just got on track.

But military orders are as important as heaven.

Since the regiment's order has been issued, no matter how big the problem is in the company, we must immediately put it aside and carry it out according to the order.

Gao Cheng immediately called together the new trainees and asked them to prepare their personal belongings and set off immediately.

The biggest advantage of the army is that you have fewer personal belongings. You can pack up your mattress and quilt and take them away fully armed with a camouflage luggage bag.

You can set off immediately by just carrying it on your back, no matter where you go or how long you stay.

Chen Jun is the ace instructor of the special forces. Packing is a very simple task for him and the whole process takes less than three minutes.

He even found time to go to the cadre building and discuss training with the company commander Gao Cheng.

Even when Gao Cheng, as the company commander, needs to go out, he does not need to prepare his own backpack and luggage. Everything is taken care of by his personal secretary and communicator.

When Chen Jun suggested that after they left, he would hand over the follow-up training outline of the cross-country special training to Hong Xingguo, the instructor in charge of the company.

Gao Cheng thought this was a good idea and immediately ran to discuss it with the instructor.

People who are straightforward and generous tend to do things quickly.

Gao Cheng briefly explained everything to the instructor, then went to the playground carrying a block of tofu and a travel bag, together with the communicator who was also carrying a backpack.

"Beep beep."

"All new trainees, assemble."

A whistle, an order.

Chen Jun, Wu Liuyi and Jin Dashan, carrying backpacks and luggage, ran out of the dormitory, came in front of Gao Cheng, and stood in a row in high spirits.

"All ready, stand at attention, at ease."

After simply arranging the queue, Gao Cheng spoke a few words symbolically and also warned everyone of several things and related precautions.

Then he waved his hand and ordered everyone to get on the bus.

The regiment specially dispatched 212 military vehicles and trucks. The former had only three seats except for the driver, and there were also occupants for Gao Cheng, Chen Jun and the communicator.

Including the three of them, there was Shi Jin's backpack and luggage, and dozens of brooms, rags, buckets, etc. that the company commander specially brought with him.

They could only ride in the truck with Wu Liuyi and the others.

Watching the convoy slowly driving out of the gate of the Seventh Steel Company, Gan Xiaoning and other veterans of the Seventh Company who could only train at home had eyes full of envy.

But I am not as skilled as others, so there is nothing much to say.

The enthusiasm for training has increased!

Each unit has its own training camp. The 702nd Regiment’s training camp is located within the base and was converted from an abandoned armored company camp.

On weekdays, this camp is sealed off, with the gate basically locked and no one coming in.

It is only put back into use for three months every year during the training of new recruits.

When Chen Jun and his group arrived by car, the camp was still in the same state as it was after the recruit training ended last year, and the iron lock on the gate was already rusted.

After seeing the gate, there is no need to look inside. Chen Jun knew that he would be busy again.
