War Military: From 1978

Chapter 17 Lao Wang misled me!
"From the countryside?"

The squad leader continued to select people. This time he took two steps to the right and stopped in front of the fourth recruit in Chu An's row.

The new recruit's skin color is a bit dark, which is obviously caused by years of sun exposure.

"Report to the monitor, yes!"

The recruit held his head high and responded loudly.

Not everyone has been given a heads-up by the squad leader.

As far as Chu An knew, there was only one other person in his dormitory besides himself.

It is also because of this that the new recruit is so eager to show his abilities.

It's a very simple truth, one is the most important. Now that the squad leader can be the first to come out and select people, he must be doing well in the army. It is definitely a good thing to follow such a squad leader.

That's what the recruits think.

"Well, that's good. Come out!"

"Yes!"

There weren't too many questions, or rather, selecting new recruits wouldn't allow you to ask too many questions.

After all, you are not the only one to choose. Being the first one to choose someone gives you an advantage, and you can ask everything just like checking the household registration. If all the good soldiers are selected by you, what should you do with the rest?
"What are your specialties?"

"Report to the squad leader."

Time passed slowly, and in the end only two people among Chu An and his group were selected by the squad leader.

Then he walked to the next queue.

There are currently five rows of recruits, and he has selected a total of eleven recruits.

Except for the team with the largest number of recruits, which selected three people, the other teams each had two people.

"Squad Leader, Second Company!"

After the squad leader finished selecting the candidates, the instructor gave another speech.

Instead of the second squad leader of the first company taking over as per the order, the first squad leader of the second company took over.

Of course, this is obviously reasonable.

Soon, the squad leader of the second company also selected eleven new recruits. When one of them came to Chu An and the others, he passed directly in front of Chu An and glanced at him, but that was just a glance. He didn't express anything else and didn't ask any questions.

It was in the same place, and he was not deaf, so he must have heard Chu An's answer just now.

Soon, it was the turn of the second squad leader of the first company to select soldiers.

This time it was squad leader Liu who followed Tong Lianzhong to Chuan’s hometown to pick up new recruits!
There was no hesitation, and even his goal was very clear.

After arriving in front of Chu An's team, he pointed his finger and said, "You, you! Get out of line!"

Chu An was stunned because he was pointed at!
"Report, squad leader, me?" Chu An was a little uncertain. He looked left and right and even looked back, thinking that squad leader Liu had made the wrong choice.

After all, he had been reserved by Squad Leader Wang, and he also said that it was Captain Tong who made the invitation.

And Squad Leader Liu must also be a soldier of Company Commander Tong, and he must be very familiar with Squad Leader Wang.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of line!"

"Yes!"

Chu An immediately straightened his back and saluted in response.

Before leaving the line, Chu An glanced at Squad Leader Wang again.

Squad Leader Wang was also looking at Chu An, especially now that he saw Chu An looking at him, he nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing?"

After muttering to himself, Chu An didn't bother to think about it anymore and just walked out.

At the same time, a soldier from the second row also came out.

This is another dormitory for the new recruits, which is originally under the management of Squad Leader Liu.

He was a little shorter than Chu An, about 1.7 meters, but very strong. The most important thing was that Chu An had heard on the train that this guy's grandfather was a soldier and a founding veteran. He himself had been practicing martial arts and various military skills with his grandfather since he was a child.

It is no exaggeration to say that this guy's military skills and physical fitness may be better than those of the veterans present here.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of person being assigned in advance and then being the first one to be selected by the squad leader who is recruiting soldiers.

But this guy seemed a little arrogant. After standing together with Chu An, Chu An glanced at him, but he didn't look away and didn't even look at Chu An. The work of counting the troops continued.

After squad leader Liu selected two people from the queue of new recruits he had received, he went to other queues to select people, just like the previous squad leaders.

Squad leaders came out one after another to select new recruits.

The number of people in the previously assembled queue was also decreasing.

It can be seen that as time goes by and the number of people decreases, the remaining recruits are actually showing signs of being a bit anxious and even uneasy.

Everyone else chose to leave.

Putting aside other things, if no one wants you, doesn't that mean you are worse than others?
But no matter what they think, the decision to select soldiers lies with these squad leaders.

Finally, the selection of the eighteen new recruits was completed.

The number of people was very evenly balanced. Except for a few people who were taken away by the staff officer before the selection, the remaining classes had eleven people.

"Company 1, assemble!"

"Second Company, come here!"

As soon as the recruitment work was completed, the two company commanders began to give speeches.

All the new recruits carried their luggage and backpacks and followed their new squad leaders to assemble in front of their respective company commanders.

Chu An was already here, so he just moved slightly.

Soon, all nine classes lined up again in front of Tong Lianzhong.

"Follow!"

There was no speech. After Tong Lianzhong and everyone gathered, he just said two words and turned around.

Immediately, the recruits hurriedly followed with their luggage and bags.

Go all the way through the camp to the innermost foot of the mountain.

You can see that this is a large playground with various training facilities.

At the same time, you can see rows of red brick houses on both sides of the playground.

It's the kind with one floor and a tiled roof.

The exterior walls haven't even been whitewashed.

Now Chu An and the others followed Tong Lianzhong and the others to the red brick houses on the left.

"This is our company's territory. Now everyone, follow your squad leader and settle down!"

Tong Lianzhong turned around and shouted, and then the squad leaders started shouting.

"Follow me in class one!"

"Class 2"

These rows of red brick houses are about ten meters apart. Classes one to three are now being taken to the dormitory in front, while classes four to nine are being taken to the second row.

Chu An followed squad leader Liu, but after only a few steps, squad leader Liu turned around and shouted, "Chu An, go find squad leader Wang!"

"what!"

Chu An was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, squad leader Wang wants you. I'm just helping you choose. Go ahead!"

Just then, Squad Leader Wang came over from behind.

And he also had a soldier with him.

Chu An recognized that this soldier was originally in the dormitory next door and was under the charge of Squad Leader Liu.

"Thank you, Lao Liu!"

Squad leader Wang came over and spoke with a smile!
"Okay, take it with you. You're the only one who cares about this good-for-nothing!" Squad Leader Liu waved his hand, which made Chu An speechless.

When did I become a glutton?
Well, I said that in front of the whole camp before, and now I’m afraid that everyone in the entire recruit camp has labeled me a good-for-nothing, right?

In the cafeteria, I eat everything and eat a lot, but when asked what I can do, I say I know nothing.

If this isn’t a good-for-nothing, what is!
Lao Wang has misled me!
