War Military: From 1978

Chapter 99 Farewell to the old platoon leader!

Chu An actually wasn't quite sure about the specific organization of the special forces company.

But now only one reconnaissance platoon has been trained. Unless their artillery reconnaissance personnel are gathered again, the four squads of twenty people can also be considered a platoon.

However, artillery reconnaissance should not have appeared in the infantry regiment.

I can only say that the situation in the regiment is a bit chaotic now. It is said to be a Class B unit and its establishment is not full, but now due to the situation and the ideas of the regiment commander, it has to do both artillery reconnaissance and reconnaissance.

But now that I thought Yan Wang was also behind the special forces company and the reconnaissance platoon, the instructor turned around and directly denied it.

"He's going back to division headquarters!"

"Ok?"

Chu An showed a puzzled expression, but the next second the instructor said: "I am the commander of the special forces company!"

"what?"

This was a result Chu An did not expect.

The instructor became the company commander?
Isn’t his original position the deputy political instructor of the second battalion?
Now that I'm a company commander, is this considered a demotion?
He was demoted from deputy battalion commander to company commander.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. He has been leading the reconnaissance platoon all this time, so it is reasonable for him to be the company commander now. As for the so-called job level, in fact, the army itself is not as clearly divided as it will be in the future.

As long as he has the resume, he can be promoted directly from company commander to battalion commander in the future.

However, the King of Hell actually returned to the division headquarters, which once again surprised Chu'an.

But immediately, Coach Cui spoke again, "He's on loan. We can't keep him forever, right? Besides, the division headquarters needs to expand. The reconnaissance platoon is going to be expanded into a reconnaissance company, and they're short of people there too. He's definitely going to have to go back!"

Well, when the instructor said this, Chu An also remembered that Yan Wang didn’t seem to be in his own regiment. He was a member of the division’s reconnaissance platoon.

It makes sense to go back now.

But Chu An was still a little confused as to why he was promoted.

"Instructor, why are you suddenly mentioning me now? It should have been someone else, right? After all, I don't have any experience in coaching team training!"

Chu An knew that among the veterans in the reconnaissance platoon, several had experience in training with the teaching team.

Although meritorious service is given priority for promotion these days, generally speaking, even if one has made meritorious service for promotion, one still has to go through the necessary procedures before that, such as going to the teaching team for training.

Even if he was promoted first, he would still have to go to the teaching team afterwards, but Chu An obviously did not have the time now.

The instructor looked over and said, "Don't worry, the regiment has naturally considered these situations, so the reconnaissance platoon will nominate a veteran as deputy platoon leader.

In addition, if your superiors promote you directly, they must have their own considerations.

"What? You don't have the confidence to do it well?" The instructor stared at Chu An with a smile.

"This is not it!" Chu An shook his head.

Although he had never been to a training team, Chu An still felt a little confident if he only led a platoon.

The main reason was that he knew the platoon leader himself didn't have much to do.

The company commander is in charge from above, and the squad leader is in charge from below. He connects the upper and lower levels, and all he needs to do is take the lead and set an example in training and combat.

"Just do your job as a platoon leader well. If you don't understand something, come to me more often!" Deputy Instructor Cui reached out and patted Chu An on the shoulder.

In fact, it was his suggestion to promote Chu An.

The reason is very simple. Chu An is young and energetic, and he is also very capable. He also seems very steady in his daily work.

Although his military service experience is insufficient, he won a second-class merit in the war and his daily training results far surpassed those of others. These two things alone are enough to overwhelm the others.

Otherwise, not to mention Chu An, the reconnaissance platoon now gathers those veteran elites who came from various companies. Many of them have been to the teaching team, and everyone's ability level is similar.

No matter who is mentioned, others may not be convinced and may even get upset.

But now is definitely not the time to be upset.

Because war preparations have already begun, you never know when you will have to go to the front line.

So just mention Chu An directly, and they will have nothing to say.

Although Chu An's military service is not long enough, you cannot match him in training or study, and he has a second-class merit award, so you have to admit defeat.

Of course, he now knew Chu An’s shortcomings. He did not go to the teaching team to systematically learn how to be a cadre, so he also proposed that the reconnaissance platoon promote an old soldier as deputy platoon leader.

This position is not considered a formal cadre, just like the previous Yan Wang in the division headquarters.

Although he has the position and can wear four pockets, it is not considered a formal promotion. He can only be considered a reserve platoon leader!
In this way, no matter who is selected, the other veterans will not feel psychologically unbalanced.

Soon, after a brief chat, the two returned to the reconnaissance platoon's base.

As soon as Chu An returned to the class, Li Guoping came up to him and asked, "Class monitor, is there something good that the instructor called you for?"

"Well, forget it!"

Chu An smiled and replied, but he didn't say anything specific about the good news. He just said he would give them a surprise tomorrow.

That night, Chu An was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, someone came in and gently woke him up!
"Huh?" As soon as Chu An opened his eyes, he saw Yan Liming standing beside him.

"Shh, come out for a moment!" The King of Hell softly signaled Chu An not to speak loudly.

Chu An immediately got up hurriedly and quietly.

Without any coat, I put on my shoes and followed him out of the tent.

"Instructor, are you leaving tonight?"

When he came outside, Chu An saw a backpack on the ground not far away.

"Ok!"

The King of Hell turns back.

Although he was the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, he did not like people calling him platoon leader and always asked everyone to call him instructor.

The stars and the moon were high in the sky. He brought Chu An to where he had put his bag and turned around.

He said with a hint of a smile: "You guys must be eager for me to leave, so I won't see you cheering when you see me off!"

“.” Chu An was speechless.

I've been with him for almost two months, and this is the first time I see him joking.

"Instructor, let us see you off!"

"Haha, what's there to give me?" He waved his hand, then reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes.

After taking one in his mouth, he handed another to Chu An.

"Wow~" The match was struck, he lit it, and handed it over while shielding the fire with his hand.

Chu An looked at him, then moved closer with a cigarette in his mouth.

In the reconnaissance platoon, only those with poor training results are prohibited from smoking, while those with good results can smoke as much as they want.

Before that, Chu An actually didn't smoke much before he left Shanying, but since he went to the previous battalion's position, that group of old smokers gave each other a cigarette, and now Chu An started smoking again.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling a puff of thick smoke, Yan Limin looked at Chu An and suddenly said, "Be a good platoon leader and don't act rashly.

The battlefield is not a training ground. Although I know you are young and energetic, if you really go to the battlefield, you will be responsible for everyone's lives!"

He walked over, put his hand on Chu An's shoulder, and stared at Chu An with his eyes: "It's a good thing for young people to be motivated, but you must always remember that you are no longer a human being after becoming a platoon leader.

I trained you all, and now I hand them all over to you. If there really is a war, I hope you can take them up there and bring them back in one piece!"

Chu An held a cigarette in his hand, and his expression became serious for a moment.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment no sound came out.

Because this topic is too heavy.

After a few seconds, Chu An stepped back and saluted solemnly: "Old Platoon Leader, I know, I will be responsible for everyone!"

Chu An didn't call him instructor this time.

Yan Liming also laughed, very casually. He picked up the backpack on the ground and turned around.

"Let's go back!"

He waved back, then left alone with his backpack on his back while everyone else was fast asleep.

Chu An stood there and watched his figure disappear in the darkness before looking to the side.

"Don't take it too seriously, just be yourself!" The instructor walked out from the side.

Chu An had actually discovered him a long time ago.

"Well, I know!"

"Okay, go back to sleep, we have to move tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

That night, Chu An lay down in the tent and couldn't sleep.

The King of Hell's words actually put pressure on him.

There is no such thing as death in war.

Especially for these frontline scouts, Chu An was not sure whether he could bring them up intact and down intact.

But thinking about the faces of everyone who trained together, and thinking about what would happen if one of them fell on the battlefield one day, he felt a little heavy-hearted.

It’s not easy to be a platoon leader!
