War Military: From 1978

Chapter 44 It’s all the eggs’ fault!
"Where are the edges? Where are the corners? It's been an hour. I just went up the mountain and caught some monkeys. It wouldn't be folded up like this, right?"

When the wake-up call sounded, Lao Wang finally got up again.

But the new recruits in Class 4 actually wished he would lie down again.

Others say his mouth is full of honey, but his mouth is like thorns, every word he says is stinging!
"Are you making steamed buns? Steamed buns aren't that ugly! If you go to the kitchen, you'll only be responsible for raising pigs!"

"What are you looking at? Look at your own quilt. Your face is even squarer than your quilt!"

In just a few minutes, he walked around each bed one by one. Except for Chu An who only said that there was a need for improvement, the other recruits said nothing that was not heartbreaking.

Fortunately, at this moment, a whistle sounded outside.

"What are you still standing there for? Come down and prepare to assemble!"

Old Wang put on a stern face and walked towards the door first.

Immediately, the other recruits in the dormitory also hurriedly climbed down one by one.

"Every year is getting worse than the last!"

On the playground track, after the entire company assembled, the squad leader of the second platoon, the fifth squad leader, finished assembling the team, and Tong Lianzhong came up and said this.

Pointing at everyone, his face was filled with pity: "Look at some of you. You walk just like the geese we raise in our production team!"

On the spot, his words made many people in the queue lower their heads in shame.

Muscle soreness is synonymous with laziness and pampering these days.

This is what this era despises.

Now that you're being singled out so clearly, it's normal to feel ashamed.

However, Chu An acted as if nothing had happened.

There was nothing to be ashamed of. The lack of exercise and labor in the past was a thing of the past. He believed that he would get better in a few days.

Tong Lianzhong shook his head and waved his hands: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you guys!"

After saying that, he looked to the side: "Platoon leader on duty!"

"To!"

The fifth squad leader responded loudly.

"You're next!"

"Yes!"

The fifth squad leader stepped out again and came to the front of the team.

"Now, let's go into the commands and instruction for the stop-turn method!"

The fifth squad leader's eyes were bright, and he shouted "Stand at attention" after he finished speaking.

Subconsciously, many people in the team also stood at attention.

This made the fifth squad leader, who had just finished standing at attention, yell, "You don't need to follow along now. Just watch, watch carefully, and remember the key points. It will be your turn later!"

After that, he explained again.

"When standing at attention, your feet should be close together and aligned, with your toes pointed outwards about 60 degrees."

This was the first time that Chu An and others received systematic and standardized training.

Before, whether it was during the assembly at the armed forces department in my hometown or before I was divided into classes here, the veterans would just say something casually and you would just imitate them.

But now, it is obviously impossible to continue like this.

Soon, squad leader Five demonstrated and explained each command, movement and key points of the movement.

Then, it was the team's turn to train.

At this moment, Chu An saw the veteran squad leaders beside him unbuckling their belts.
"Don't you know what 60 degrees is? Do you know how many bowls are required for a meal?"

"Stand up straight. Just now, the Second Platoon Leader said what the requirements were for standing up straight. Repeat it to me!"

"Can't you tell left from right? Which hand do you use to wipe your butt?"

The squad leaders have completely stopped acting now.

Following the commands and several training exercises on turning while stopping, they began to walk back and forth in the class holding belts.

He will correct them with a stern face the first time, and if there are any problems the second time, he will be beaten with a belt.

Chu An's eyelids twitched as he watched, but he knew that this was how one led troops in this era.

What is this about leading soldiers in a civilized manner and not allowing beating or scolding? There is no such concept in the army nowadays.

It is not an exaggeration to say that many cadres and veterans are semi-illiterate. If you try to speak to them politely, they will just say, "I can't read, I only know belts."

Just as parents these days only believe that good sons are made under the stick, the army only believes that elite soldiers are made under the belt!

Time passed slowly. After about twenty minutes, Chu An and others saw the second company commander on the opposite side actually leading his men across the playground and walking towards them.

At this moment, the more naive recruits were wondering what the Second Company was up to, while the more clever ones had a premonition that something was amiss.

Chu An naturally belongs to the smart ones.

"stop!"

At that moment, Tong Lianzhong also shouted out the voice that everyone had dreamed of.

Of course, nowadays, Chu An and other smart people would rather keep practicing this.

When two companies get together, there will definitely be bad luck and a fight will definitely happen.

"Lao Tong, it seems that the soldiers in your company are all in a listless state!" The second company commander shouted with a smile from about ten or twenty meters away.

"Bullshit!" Tong Lianzhong turned around and cursed, then shouted at the first company: "First company, tell the second company commander, what are you doing?"

"No!"

The entire company, no matter what happened just now, now everyone shouted loudly.

"Listen, the spirit of our company is here!

What? You two came here because you're itching for some help, and you want us to give you some relief?"

At this moment, Chu An in the queue looked a little speechless.

What poor acting.

It is comparable to the traffic stars of later generations.

It looks fake at first glance!
But what is annoying is that we have to cooperate with their performance.

"Loosen it! But it's not certain who loosens it!"

The second company commander laughed and said, "Last night I paid out of my own pocket and asked the quartermaster to buy twenty more eggs.

How about it? Do you want to play? You pay half the money, and then our two companies will compete, and whoever wins gets to eat all the eggs! "

"Are you afraid?" Tong Lianzhong didn't answer him, but turned around and yelled.

"Not afraid!"

At this moment, Chu An's face turned red with excitement when he saw the innocent child.

"Haha, okay, if you're not afraid, then we'll beat them up twice and let them watch us eat eggs!"

After that, Captain Tong looked at the Second Captain and said, "Tell me, how do you want to compete?"

The second company commander's smile remained undimmed: "That's easy! Just three kilometers! The top twenty companies will have more places, and whichever company has more will get to eat eggs!"

"Okay, it's decided!"

At this moment, Chu Anton felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Three kilometers? The first twenty, if his legs were okay, he might be able to do his bit now.

But now.
But Tong Lianzhong obviously doesn't care about Chu An's personal problems.

After completing the agreement with the Second Company Captain, he turned around and shouted at the First Company's ranks, "Did you all hear that? It's up to you whether you want to eat eggs or watch the Second Company eat eggs!"

I'm telling you, your company commander, I'm also going to pay for half of the eggs. If you let the second company eat the eggs I bought, you'll have to wait for today!"

"Second Company, are you confident that the eggs bought by the First Company Commander will be available for you to eat?"

"Yes!" At this time, following the loud shout of their company commander, the second company also responded thunderously in an instant.

"Haha, okay, then come over here, we're going to eat the eggs the Second Company Captain bought for you!"

"You guys from the Second Company, you're dreaming!" Tong Lianzhong cursed, then turned to the First Company and yelled again, "Everyone from the First Company, listen up! Anyone who doesn't make the top 20 today will only get one bowl of porridge this morning!"

After saying that, he added again: "If you can't even make it into the top 20, then it's a waste for you to eat too much!"

As soon as he said this, Chu An instantly felt that the bitter taste in his mouth was not just a little bitter, but as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

It's over!
No! Even with a broken leg, he still has to run to the front today. A bowl of porridge won't fill him up.

Chu An's eyes instantly became firm.

He fought hard to have enough to eat.

In just a moment, the two companies stood side by side on the runway.

"Beep beep~!"

As Tong Lianzhong blew the whistle.

Immediately, the recruits from both companies rushed out like wild horses.
