War Military: From 1978

Chapter 67: Mountain Eagle Growth Team, the leader’s promise!
In the dormitory, after Chu An lay down, only three people were left standing.

The other two were new recruits who were sleeping in the upper and lower bunks opposite Chu An and had not yet been checked.

But these two guys are now very smart. They watched Chu An lie down, and then looked at the old soldier with a grim face.

Without him saying anything, the two of them immediately lay down and supported themselves with their fists.

For a moment, Chen Bingjun was the only one standing in the dormitory, and even Sun Dajiang was squatting there and apologizing to the quilt.

He turned around and looked at the two recruits lying down behind him.

Chen Bingjun didn't say anything, but his expression became even uglier.

Look at the others.

The new recruits had been turning their heads to peek, but now, seeing him looking at them, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Humph!"

Chen Bingjun snorted coldly, staring at Chu An who was lying on the side, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

After saying that, he also lay down with his fists propped up.

At this moment, he felt very angry. He originally wanted to suppress Chu An, a soldier who might have been spoiled.

But now I have been forced to this extent.

Can you not lie down?

Of course he can do it, after all, he is the class monitor.

But if he doesn't give in, he won't be able to lead this class in the future.

The big pot of rice came out of his own mouth.

Now he himself doesn't eat.

How can this convince people?

Time passed slowly, and for a while, the only sounds in the dormitory were "I'm sorry".

Sun Dajiang's apology now is as sincere as it can be.

The feeling, the voice, the attitude are all there.

I thought I was the most unlucky one first, a typical example!
But now, listening to the other people in the dormitory whose breathing became increasingly heavy, he felt very happy.

Only those who have done that know how it feels to punch the concrete floor.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

About twenty minutes later, the cadre who had picked up Chu An and the others came in from the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he seemed a little surprised.

In fact, his expression was not fake.

Chen Bingjun had discussed with him about giving Chu An a warning, to let him know that although he was still in the recruit company barracks, he was no longer in the recruit company.

He agreed at that time.

They also agreed that he would come over later to play the good guy.

But now.
Looking at Chen Bingjun who was also standing there, he really wanted to ask what was going on.

"Reporting, Artillery Reconnaissance Squad 1, because the soldiers failed to fold their blankets properly, they are now collectively receiving punishment!"

Chen Bingjun lowered his head to look at the ground, but reported the situation loudly.

To be honest, his face is a little anxious now.

He confidently proposed to discipline Chu An, but now he is also caught in the act.

The cadre was obviously taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed: "Haha, nonsense, the others will be here soon, what's the point of you just hanging around here!"

After saying that, he looked at Sun Dajiang and said, "Alright, stop apologizing, and everyone else get up too!"

This situation was not anticipated by the cadre.

He had originally intended to come here to comfort the new recruits, and by the way, to mention that their squad leader was very strict, to set him off so that he could discipline the new recruits in the future while also establishing himself as a good person.

But now, he can only do the last bit.

Soon, the nine recruits and Chen Bingjun stood up.

Without exception, except for Sun Dajiang, everyone else repeated the action of clenching and unclenching their fists as soon as they stood up.

Pushing your fists against the concrete floor is extremely uncomfortable, even for just twenty minutes.

At this moment, the cadre standing at the door wanted to say a few more words, but after seeing this scene, he didn't know what to say next.

"Everyone's out!"

In the end, he just said this and turned away.

The artillery reconnaissance training class is not just for new recruits.

And veterans.

Each of the three battalions had a machine gun company. Although its firepower was poor, it still had mortars. However, in the past, when there was nothing to do, the artillerymen of the machine gun company's training basically focused on thumb observation, and then supplemented it with experience to get it right.

In fact, only the artillery battalion has rocket launchers, so they have been training some observers who know how to measure distance accurately and some radio operators who can speak secret language.

But there are really few such soldiers.

In the artillery battalion, less than half of the officers are proficient in precise ranging, and there are no more than three soldiers.

As for secret communication, there are only a few truly qualified radio operators who can meet wartime requirements.

Because of this, eighteen more veterans have been sent here.

The infantry battalion had four from each machine gun company, while the artillery battalion had six.

Of course, Chu An and others are not clear about this now.

They just followed him out the door and were then marched in a line to the playground.

I waited for about ten minutes.

A truck came by.

An older cadre got out of the passenger seat.

Then two cadres and a dozen veterans got out of the truck.

The veterans quickly lined up behind Chu An and his team.

"stand at attention!"

"Take a break!"

The cadre who brought Chu An and the others here personally organized the team. After finishing, he turned around and saluted the cadre who had just gotten off the passenger seat of the truck.

"Report to the captain, the Mountain Eagle Growth Team has assembled, please give instructions!"

At this moment, Chu An and the other nine people couldn't help but stand a little straighter.

He is actually the team leader?
The highest-ranking officer their entire company of recruits had ever met was the chief of staff.

And that person only showed up during the first shooting session.

But I didn't expect to see the team leader so unexpectedly today.

Soon, the team leader came right in front of everyone.

He was probably around fifty years old, and his expression was very serious.

"Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, Chief!"

This did not require rehearsal, as Chu An and nine other recruits responded loudly together.

"Well, not bad, you have good spirits and energy!" the team leader praised.

Then he spoke again: "Do you know why we named you the Mountain Eagle Growth Team?"

The team leader glanced at everyone. No one made any random guesses or gave any answers, and the team leader didn't really want anyone to speak.

He explained himself: "Because I need a group of mountain eagles now.

It has good eyesight and can see accurately. It is also as agile as an eagle and can fly far away and still return to its nest!

After that, the leader paused for a moment before shouting again: "I believe you all already know what situation we are facing now!
Yes, the smoke of war has begun to fill the air.”

The regimental commander raised his hand, pointed north, and shouted, "Comrades, the enemy is determined to destroy us. What should we do?"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

All the recruits and veterans responded in unison again.

"Yes! Kill!

If the enemy dares to come, our guns and artillery will never let them go, but..."

At this point, the regimental commander paused and said, "But we also have shortcomings now. Our artillery is not accurate, so I selected your group of soldiers."

The regimental commander said in a heavy voice, "I hope that in three months, you can become the eyes of our artillery, and become a mountain eagle soaring into the heart of the enemy.

Do you have faith?

"Have!"

Everyone yelled again.

"Okay! I'll wait and see!"

The team leader raised three fingers and said, “I will come to inspect it in three months.

At that time, the first place in the assessment will be directly awarded a third-class merit.

The rest of the candidates who excelled in the assessment will be selected as key candidates for subsequent Party membership and promotion!
