War Military: From 1978

Chapter 21: Training begins, let’s make trouble!

"I now declare that the opening ceremony of the C Regiment's Recruit Battalion and the First Company of Recruits officially begins."

On the playground, in front of the team that Chu An and others had just formed stood the unfamiliar cadre who had just directed everyone to gather on this side of the playground.

Actually, he is not unfamiliar with us. He was the one who distributed clothes and mosquito nets to everyone before.

It’s just that the new recruits don’t know what his position is or his name yet.

In one sentence, he was the first to start applauding.

Naturally, Chu An and the others also followed suit and applauded.

"Now, please allow the instructor to speak to everyone!"

This cadre still didn't introduce himself.

Applause started again.

At the same time, a cadre who looked to be in his thirties and was standing next to Tong Lianzhong walked up to everyone with a smile.

He raised his hand and made a fake gesture to signal everyone to stop applauding before he spoke.

"My name is Ge Bing, and I'm honored to serve as the instructor of our first company of recruits.

The next three months will be spent with you all.

I hope everyone will cooperate with me in my work.

Of course, as an instructor, I will also do my best to help you solve your problems within my ability."

Instructor Ge spoke gently, smiled throughout, and his speech was brief, less than two minutes, leaving a good impression on everyone.

But then, when it was Tong Lianzhong's turn to speak to everyone, before he even opened his mouth, the gentle and relaxed atmosphere created by the instructor disappeared in an instant.

He had a stern face.

After standing in front of everyone, he didn't speak for a long time, but just looked back and forth slowly at everyone with a very serious expression.

"I'm not an instructor!"

Tong Lianzhong’s first sentence was not a self-introduction, but this.

On the spot, many recruits felt a tightness in their hearts.

Then, he spoke again in a deep voice: “Your instructor has a good temper, is well educated, and is cultured.

But I am different. I am a rough person and sometimes I like to use violence when I get angry.

Therefore, you in my company, for the next three months, you better obey my orders. As long as I give an order, you must obey unconditionally! "

At this point, he paused for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened, looked at everyone and shouted, "Did you all hear that?"

Some of the new recruits were frightened by this scene.

But after realizing what was happening, all the recruits immediately responded, “We heard it!”

"Didn't you eat?"

"heard it!"

This time it was barely loud enough, but it was uneven.

Immediately, Tong Lianzhong's face turned even darker.

His eyes were like an eagle, and his face was full of cruelty: "I think you guys really ate your meal in vain today!

I'll ask you one last time. If you're still like this, then tonight's dinner will be sent to the Second Company as a snack!"

At this moment, looking at Tong Lianzhong's completely changed expression, Chu An couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Knew it!
He knew that his gentle smile before was fake.

Look, the classes have just been divided and his face has changed.

Thinking back, Tong Lianzhong was not like this before. Even now, when Chu An recalled it, the clear memory in his mind could clearly see Tong Lianzhong's enthusiastic face during the home visit.
Of course, he is not targeting Chu An now.

He's targeting everyone.

"Did you hear that?"

Once again, he roared.

This time, the recruits shouted in unison, "We heard it!"

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

Tong Lianzhong put his hands behind his back, looked around at the crowd and continued to shout: "As a soldier, your voice must be loud and your confidence must be strong. You must know that you are all men, male soldiers, not female soldiers!"

Having said this, he paused for a few seconds before suddenly giving the order: "Turn around!"

Immediately, the recruits were a little flustered, and even turned around in a different pace. When Chu An was turning, the recruit next to him turned face to face with him.

However, no one cares about this kind of thing now.

The squad leaders standing on both sides didn't say anything, and the company commander and instructor who were standing behind everyone didn't say anything either.

After all, everyone has not received formal military training.

In just a moment, everyone had turned around and could see the Second Company gathered on the runway opposite the playground.

"Listen to my orders. When I say start, everyone, shout at the top of your lungs, 'One after another, one after another, one after another, first place!'"

Obviously, his words made many new recruits in the company a little confused.

What is this going to do?
Across from them was the Second Company, and they were also gathered there. Even now, Chu An and the others could still hear them shouting in unison, just like they had just done. "I heard it!"

But no matter what everyone thought, Tong Lianzhong spoke again.

But this time he wasn't talking to the recruits.

He looked at the veteran squad leaders and said, "Keep an eye on the new recruits in your squad. Whoever yells, 'Don't be quiet,' I'll catch him later!"

"Yes!"

A group of veteran squad leaders responded in unison.

Then, they came to the side of the team, facing everyone, staring at everyone intently.

Chu An glanced at Old Wang standing aside and was a little speechless.

Why didn’t I realize that Lao Tong was so cruel before!
This is going to cause trouble!

It’s easy to figure out that if they shout like this at the other side, how can they not respond?

And if you respond, you're done for.

Let’s get ready for some crazy internal competition in the days ahead?

Everything must be compared with the other side, the key is that the other side must be the same.

By then, various standards will continue to rise.

This is definitely a good thing for the leaders and chiefs of the two companies.

But it was a disaster for these new recruits in training.

As a modern person, Chu An fully understands what involution and competition mean.

"preparation!"

At this time, Tong Lianzhong next to him didn't care about Chu An's inner thoughts and spoke directly.

Immediately, the new recruits began to prepare.

Some people took deep breaths, while others clenched their fists.

For the simple young people of this era, this is basically the first time for them to leave their hometown. Many of them have never had contact with outsiders except villagers.

They simply don't understand the evil nature of human nature.

At this moment, Chu An glanced around and could even see the other recruits' faces full of excitement, as if they were not afraid of anything.

Of course, they are all young people, full of youthful vigor.

Everyone likes to make trouble.

They don't even think about what price everyone will have to pay if this happens.

Of course, Chu An knew it, but Chu An didn't dare not help but contribute now.

After all, even if he didn't shout, it wouldn't change anything. On the contrary, if Lao Wang found out that he didn't shout loudly, he might be in trouble after he finished shouting.

So, as Tong Lianzhong beside him started shouting, Chu An also opened his mouth and started shouting.

"Continuously, continuously, first place!"

"Come again! Louder!" Tong Lianzhong yelled.

Immediately, all the recruits started shouting again at the top of their lungs.

It can be seen that the recruits on the opposite side, separated by a playground, were obviously stunned for a moment, and most of them are even looking back now.

But in just a moment, their company commander lost his temper.

Afterwards, after Chu An and the others shouted for the third time, all the people on the opposite side turned around.
