Military career: Starting with a recruitment letter

Chapter 41: Mobilization for training, lighting the way forward

When their eighth squad rushed over and joined the formation, the entire second company of recruits was already in place.

Not only Chen Mo was paying attention to the sudden appearance of this group of veterans carrying guns, but all the new recruits in the entire company cast curious glances at them.

At this time, the company commander of the second company of recruits, Cheng Dong, and instructor Huo Linshan also came to the front of the queue.

"Reporting to the company commander, the entire company should have 73 people present, and the actual number is 73. Duty officer He Yingjie, please give instructions."

"Take a break."

"Yes!"

"Reporting to the company commander, the reconnaissance company has participated in the mobilization. 55 people have actually arrived. Liu Mintao is on duty. Please give instructions."

"Take a break."

"Yes!"

After the order is issued.

Cheng Dong walked to the front of the formation. His fierce eyes, hidden beneath his thick eyebrows, swept across the entire group of recruits. He said in a loud voice, "Comrades, do you know why our entire company is gathering at this time?"

"Because today is the opening ceremony of our Second Company of Recruits, and it is also your first day in the company."

"I have some news to share with you all. When you signed up for military service in your hometown, the local conscription officer should have told you that you would have to serve three years of compulsory military service."

"My elders at home probably mentioned that we should work hard for three years after joining the army, but the policy has changed now."

"Just yesterday, December 12th, the new Military Service Law was promulgated, changing the compulsory service period for the Army, Navy, and Air Force to two years."

After the words were spoken, everyone in the entire line of recruits still tilted their heads back without any reaction.

But this is normal.

When new recruits first enter the camp, they do not have a very intuitive concept of whether their conscript service is three years or two years.

For new comrades, nothing is more attractive than notifying them that dinner is ready.

Chen Mo stood in the queue, turning his eyes around, trying to find Lao Pao.

Because according to my own memory, after the promulgation of the "Military Service Law", the military ranks of volunteer soldiers were abolished.

In the future, there will be no more conscripts becoming volunteers in the army, and professional sergeants and sergeant majors will be abolished.

The conscription period is only two years. If you stay in the army after the service period, you can be transferred to non-commissioned officers. The non-commissioned officer system issued in 98 is from first-level non-commissioned officers to sixth-level non-commissioned officers.

Chen Mo recalled that many veteran volunteers who were trying to become non-commissioned officers that year failed to do so. In the wave of disarmament, they sadly retired and left the army.

According to Lao Pao's qualifications as a second-level professional sergeant, if he wants to be promoted to a non-commissioned officer, he must have at least a fourth-level non-commissioned officer as a minimum.

Can he withstand this wave?
Chen Mo was a little worried, but he was not too worried. Just looking at the timer that Lao Pao got, it was not difficult to see that Lao Pao had good connections in the Seventh Brigade.

There is a high probability that it can withstand it.

After all, even if Lao Pao has a bit of a weird temper, Chen Mo doesn't want the new recruits to be demobilized right after getting acquainted with a squad leader during training just because of policy changes.

Cheng Dong looked at the queue and saw no one said anything. He put his hands on his hips and continued loudly: "Comrades, don't worry about serving for two years or three years, that doesn't matter."

"A true soldier is someone who dares to fight and go to the battlefield."

"As the old saying goes, who's the hero? Let's see who's the real hero on the training ground. Today, each class has also had some simple training."

"Tell me loudly, do you feel tired?"

"Not tired!!" A few sparse responses came from the queue.

"shit!"

Cheng Dong stared at me with his eyes wide open: "I see fatigue and looseness on your faces."

"But I tell you, you have to hold on even if you're tired, and you have to chew your tongue and swallow the bitterness, because you are soldiers. You have cancelled your identity and joined the military."

"From the moment you step into the barracks, you are a soldier defending our country."

"If war comes, we have our brothers and sisters, our fellow countrymen, and our motherland behind us."

"Comrades, fellow soldiers, the hope of a nation lies in you, the young people; the dignity of a motherland lies in the backbone of our soldiers."

"Peace is behind our spine."

"You say, can we retreat from this step?"

"cannot!!!"

No one reminded them, and no one scolded them, but this time, roars louder and louder broke out from the ranks of recruits.

Many recruits even had flushed faces, clenched fists, and felt their blood boiling. Seeing the enthusiastic recruits, Cheng Dong nodded slightly, stepped back, and gave the floor to instructor Huo Linshan.

"Comrades, I'm quite happy to see your positive attitude."

"I wish our new comrades in the second company can continue to surpass themselves in the big stage of the military camp and become well-rounded and qualified soldiers as soon as possible."

"Now, I declare that the Second Company of New Recruits of the 63th Armored Brigade of the 52875 Hedong Section of the rd Army of the Kyoto Military Region has officially begun training."

The order to start training was issued.

The veterans in the new recruits' group didn't say a word, but the veterans in the reconnaissance company next door, carrying guns, took action.

The veterans formed squads and demonstrated squad formations, bayonet drills, and military boxing in front of the new recruits.

On the training ground, the new recruits stared in amazement at the veterans' majestic and earth-shaking drills.

You don't usually have the chance to see such a bloody scene.

The recruits were so excited that their blood boiled and some of their lips were trembling with excitement.

On the side of Class 8, Chen Mo was watching with great interest. Lao Pao, who had disappeared for a long time, was standing in front of them without them noticing.

"Watch carefully and see the demeanor of the veterans. As long as you give your all in the upcoming training, you will be like them."

"Become a real soldier."

Since the mobilization for training was held at night, the company did not take advantage of the high morale of the recruits to start training with each class.

After the veterans of the reconnaissance company finished their demonstration and showed off their style to all the new recruits, it was almost time for dinner.

Chen Mo had to admit that their Captain Cheng was really good at boosting morale.

This mobilization meeting for new recruits is actually not a serious meeting. Some units will organize it if they pay attention to it, while some units that are more lazy will choose to skip it and not go through this formality.

However, this was the first time Chen Mo had seen the practice of bringing veterans to a mobilization meeting to boost morale.

That guy made all the new recruits in Class 8 excited the whole time.

There were people whispering during meals, and the class monitors tacitly agreed not to manage the situation, deliberately amplifying this sentiment.

We had to walk from the cafeteria to eat, to the auditorium to watch the news broadcast, and even to the three-kilometer night training after the evening roll call.

Chen Mo kept hearing bold words like "I have to practice hard too, the veteran's posture is so cool" and "Just wait and see, I will definitely surpass the veteran in the future."

It is said that the happiest thing during the period of being a new soldier is lying in bed at night and fantasizing about your future life.

If that's the case, the second company of recruits are the happiest tonight.

Because of the company commander, there is so much room for imagination.

Wait until late at night when everyone is asleep.

Chen Mo lay on the bed with his head resting on his arms, his mind also in turmoil.

To be honest, he had heard a lot of inspirational words in his previous life in the army, such as obeying the party's command and winning battles.

There are countless similar examples, but I don’t have a deep understanding of them, nor have I thought about them in detail.

Now that he has been reborn, Chen Mo seems to understand.

"Practice for war", sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Only by practicing skills hard in peacetime can you stand up when the country and the people need you.

This is called ability.

Obey orders and follow commands in all actions. Only by cultivating a firm sense of obedience can we dare to step forward in times of crisis and ensure the completion of the task.

This is called responsibility.

Discipline is more important than life. Only with a strong will can we strengthen our beliefs and be loyal to our mission. This is determination.

To dare to be the first, only with the determination to forge ahead and the courage to fight and struggle can we reassure our comrades and the people. This is responsibility.

Everything in the country depends on these people who stick to their posts. It is their silent waiting that brings long-term stability. This is dedication.

Chen Mo did not have any unrealistic and wild fantasies in his mind.

But I understand what ability, responsibility, determination and responsibility are.

This is the most precious wealth.

It can still pave the way for him to move forward.
