Chapter 129 New soldiers join the company, veterans celebrate the New Year! [Please subscribe! Please vote for me!]
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!"
The 347th Regiment’s base is very large.
Zhao Weihong looked over and could see nothing except a lane as wide as a highway and huge trees on both sides that reached into the sky.
There was a large crowd gathered at the camp gate.
The cold wind in Northeast China at the end of February is still biting.
The faces of these veterans were flushed by the wind, but Zhao Weihong could still clearly see that they were filled with warm smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"
Amidst the cheers that grow louder than the last, and the warm and festive sounds of gongs and drums.
The bus Zhao Weihong was riding in and the truck in front formed a long convoy and slowly drove into the camp.
After the convoy slowly went away, the deafening sound of gongs and drums still lingered.
Until Zhao Weihong followed the convoy and drove deep into the camp.
The sound of gongs and drums beside my ears gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Zhao Weihong could feel it.
The group of veterans who were in charge of welcoming the new recruits sincerely welcomed the new recruits to join the company.
This made Zhao Weihong inexplicably recall the scene when she first entered the camp, and a sentence suddenly emerged in her mind.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
Zhao Weihong is no longer the naive new recruit.
Zhao Weihong knows everything about the army's tactics!
Just as Zhao Weihong was about to find Shi Jidong to ask him in detail whether there would be any "tricks" waiting for this group of new recruits later.
His eyes were involuntarily attracted by the scene before him.
In a trance.
Zhao Weihong actually had the illusion that she was back in the "factory area"!
Through a complex curtain of interwoven tree branches.
Zhao Weihong's vision suddenly became clear, and the entire camp was in his sight!
I saw rows of three-story buildings gradually extending into the distance, surrounding the imposing main building in the center of the base.
The national flag in front of the building and the national emblem hanging on the building complement each other, adding a solemn and sacred atmosphere to the entire camp.
This is the huge base of the 347th Regiment that can accommodate people for living and training at the same time!
Except for a very small number of independently stationed units with special missions, almost all the members of the 347th Regiment are gathered in this camp which is comparable to a "factory area"!
However, Zhao Weihong had a preconceived impression of the camp.
There is not a single green spot in the camp right now, and it does have the harsh feel of a factory area.
But when spring comes and flowers bloom, the entire camp looks more like a quiet and elegant villa area!
I watched the trucks in front of me gradually drive into the branch roads on both sides, and finally stop in front of a three-story building with its own door and courtyard.
Zhao Weihong's heart was filled with thoughts and emotions!
This is where I will live for the next two years, or even longer.
Zhao Weihong had a premonition somewhere.
My life here will definitely be wonderful!
"Wei Hong, take a look at these things."
"We're almost getting off the bus."
"Yes!"
Regimental patrol platoon dormitory, ten minutes ago.
“It’s finally over!”
"We are finally getting new recruits in our class!"
The only two veteran soldiers in the patrol squad looked at the bed that had been made up in the corner, their eyes filled with undisguised joy!
Zhao Weihong's feeling was not wrong.
In a place like a regiment headquarters where there are more cadres than people, the "status" of new recruits is indeed very low.
These two veterans, who were celebrating because Zhao Weihong was transferred to another company, are witnesses!
When Qi Yu thought about his miserable life over the past year, he was about to cry!
After joining the company, Qi Yu was selected by the staff of the military affairs section because of his tough appearance and was taken to the patrol platoon.
Originally Qi Yu thought that he was about to reach the peak of his military career, he was so ecstatic!
After all, in the impression of many people, any place related to "institutions" is definitely a good place with great prospects.
That’s what Qi Yu thought.
Who would have thought that this was the beginning of his nightmare!
Shi Jidong has already explained this to Zhao Weihong.
The guard company is different from ordinary grassroots companies. The functions and tasks of each platoon are different.
For example, the second platoon that Zhao Weihong is about to go to is the patrol platoon, and they are usually responsible for wearing white helmets and patrolling.
The first row is the guard platoon, responsible for standing guard at important locations in the camp, such as the ammunition depot, garage, and oil depot. Some squads’ dormitories are not even located in the base.
The third platoon is the official duties platoon. They usually conduct normal training, but they will be responsible if the other platoons are short-handed or if there are some miscellaneous tasks in the agency.
The fourth row is really impressive, it is the garbage removal row, commonly known as "the garbage transporters!"
Don't think that this row seems dispensable.
In fact, he is the most important platoon in the guard company!
With a population of more than 3,000 people, the amount of domestic waste generated every day is an astronomical figure!
Without them, the camp would have turned into a garbage mountain in less than a week!
The different functions of each row resulted in the fact that on weekdays, there were only morning and evening gatherings.
The guard companies and platoons basically do not see each other as they are all busy with their own things.
To put it bluntly, although the guard company is a "company", in fact, the platoons under it have no relationship at all with each other.
Even the schedules of different groups are different, even the times for eating and sleeping are different!
This means that internal matters between platoons can only be handled within their own platoon, and they cannot rely on others.
For example, cleaning the sanitation, cleaning the cafeteria, and the fixed-point patrol tasks that neither the NCOs nor the veterans were willing to take on.
Naturally, these tasks fell on the shoulders of new recruits like Qi Yu.
A whole year!
Qi Yu, along with four other recruits, carried the entire platoon and "moved forward with heavy loads!"
Now that I've become a veteran, I can finally give orders to new recruits!
When he thought of this, Qi Yu wanted to kowtow to this incoming recruit!
"Old Qi, let's not be too happy too soon." "I heard from the staff officer in the department that the new recruits in our regiment this year are a little weird!"
"There's also a new recruit who broke the group army's three-kilometer light-equipped record."
Before Qian Dazhuang, who had been through thick and thin with him for more than a year, could finish his words, Qi Yu interrupted him nonchalantly.
"What does it have to do with us?"
"What? You think a new recruit who can break records won't join a reconnaissance company or a mechanized infantry company?"
"But you came to our platoon to serve as a picketer?"
"Why don't I believe this?"
When Qian Dazhuang heard this, he suddenly felt that what Qi Yu said made a lot of sense!
"Okay, Lao Qian, stop thinking about it!"
"Anyway, now we have someone to help us with the work!"
"The fixed picket position will be handed over to this new recruit from now on!"
"There's also the hygiene of our class, the cafeteria, errands, etc. These will all be his responsibilities from now on!"
Qi Yu's tone was very excited, and he was even imagining a wonderful life in the future!
At this moment, he perfectly interpreted an old saying in the army.
New recruits are assigned to companies, and veterans are celebrating the New Year!
". Is it not good for us to be like this?"
"There is only one new recruit in our class this year."
"What's wrong!"
Hearing this, Qi Yu glared and spoke righteously.
"Didn't we both get through this time as well?"
"We can both survive this, so what can't Zhao Zhao Weihong survive?"
"If it doesn't work, we can help him share some of the burden, and he will still do the main work!"
"What?"
"Before the new recruits are assigned to the company, we are the ones doing the work."
"After the new recruits are assigned to the company, will we still be the ones doing the work?"
"Then we have been veterans for nothing, haven't we?"
"."
Although he felt that what Qi Yu said made sense, Qian Dazhuang always felt that something was wrong.
And from morning till now, Qian Dazhuang's right eyelid has been twitching non-stop, as if warning Qian Dazhuang that something extremely dangerous is about to happen!
"One of you two, come out and pick up the new recruits with me."
"I'm coming!"
"Go, go, go, Lao Qian, the squad leader is calling you!"
"Let's go together!"
Wait until the bus finally stopped in front of the towering main building.
Zhao Weihong carried the luggage and followed Shi Jidong, walking out with full of anticipation.
After getting off the car, Zhao Weihong took a look around and found that there were more than twenty new recruits standing beside him, which seemed like a lot.
But in fact, there is more than one guard company directly under the regiment headquarters.
In addition to the reconnaissance company with its own independent base, another company stationed in the regiment headquarters along with the guard company is the service company.
The nature of the service company is the same as that of the guard company, and each platoon has different tasks.
But their functions are much more glamorous than the outrageous functions of the guard company, such as "garbage transporters".
For example, the driver platoon, known as the "small car squad", is usually responsible for driving, and they come into contact with the heads of various departments of the regiment, even the two chief officers!
Another example is the service platoon composed of leaders and communicators at all levels of the regiment. The new recruits in it can be said to be half-cadres, and there are a lot of non-commissioned officers of the third and fourth terms!
The only one that seems inconspicuous may be the guard platoon.
But this guard platoon is different from the guard company that Zhao Weihong is going to.
They are a full-fledged trained unit. Not only are they equipped with guns, they also have machine guns!
That’s right, this “Guard Platoon” is the guard force in the war movies that is specifically responsible for protecting the safety of the command center and troop leaders.
The guard platoon in Zhao Weihong's company is, to put it bluntly, just a gatekeeper!
By this calculation, each platoon can only get three or four new recruits at most.
But there were as many as thirty or forty veterans coming to greet them at the regiment entrance!
"Zhao Weihong."
"To!"
The cadre responsible for reading the list first glanced at Zhao Weihong, and then loudly announced Zhao Weihong's specific whereabouts.
"Second Platoon, First Squad, Guard Company!"
"Are you Zhao Weihong?"
"Come on, give me your luggage!"
Before Zhao Weihong could react, Qi Yu and the other man happily snatched the luggage from his hands.
"Monitor."
Zhao Weihong wanted to say goodbye to Shi Jidong, but found that Shi Jidong had already walked away.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
"Don't be shy, I'm your veteran soldier."
"This is you, veteran Qian. From now on, we'll be comrades in the same class!"
The enthusiasm of the two veterans instantly dispelled the slight sadness in Zhao Weihong's heart caused by Shi Jidong's departure. He couldn't help but reveal a somewhat shy smile, and subconsciously followed them towards the regiment headquarters building.
These two veterans
It looks pretty good!
The second update is here for today!
I originally wanted to update three times, but this chapter took me almost four hours to write.
I won’t update you guys in the early morning, otherwise your normal schedule will be disrupted.
I will make up for the third update later, which will be in the next two days!
Continue to ask for monthly votes!
