Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 134: The Regrettable Investiture Ceremony

In the recruit company late at night, there is no noise of the day and no shouts of training.

There is only an air of tranquility, which makes people feel deeply calm and satisfied.

The door of Class 4's dormitory was gently pushed open.

Ge Zhiyong walked quietly into the dormitory under the moonlight.

As the chief officer of the recruit company, it is his responsibility and obligation to check the dormitories.

Although it was the last day, he, as the company commander, still had to stand guard for the last time.

The bed facing the door was empty, the quilt was neatly folded, and the pillows were placed in an orderly manner.

This is the bed of Zhao Pengfei, squad leader of the fourth squad.

Ge Zhiyong touched the bed board and sighed helplessly.

I don’t know if this guy will come to the awarding ceremony tomorrow?

As a squad leader of the fourth squad, it would be such a pity if I could not personally award ranks to the soldiers in my squad and watch them become real soldiers.

He shook his head and walked straight towards the other beds.

I want to see if there are any energetic kids who would kick off the covers, raise flags and draw maps in the middle of the night.

But when he walked around, he found that everyone in Class 4 was covered with their quilts and had a good sleeping posture.

However, this quilt is really too neat, and it looks like someone else helped to cover it.

Ge Zhiyong subconsciously turned his gaze to Qin Feng's bed.

No need to ask, it must be him who got up in the middle of the night to cover everyone with a blanket.

He has been seeing this kid's dedication and hard work these days.

Almost everything, big or small, even giving orders before meals, was done by Qin Feng alone.

Even the instructor sighed and said that Qin Feng didn't look like a new recruit at all. He looked more like a qualified squad leader than many veteran non-commissioned officers with seven or eight years of service.

Ge Zhiyong walked up with a smile, helped Qin Feng pull up the quilt, then turned and left the dormitory.

As soon as the door closed, Qin Feng opened his eyes.

After that battle, his alertness had reached the level of a scout.

Even when sleeping, I am alert.

No matter how little movement there is, it will not escape his ears.

Qin Feng turned over and continued to sleep with the quilt between him.

There’s no other reason, it’s just because this position makes me sleep more soundly and comfortably.

......

"Have you checked everything?"

As soon as Ge Zhiyong came out of the stairs, he ran into Bi Yuan who was waiting downstairs.

When checking dormitories, two people usually work together.

The main purpose is to improve efficiency.

Ge Zhiyong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and said, "Let's go to the side and have a couple of puffs before going back to sleep."

The two men came to a billboard, lit a cigarette with a lighter, and began to smoke in the night.

Bi Yuan looked at the crescent moon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"These three months have flown by so quickly, like a fleeting moment."

"It's almost over. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to let it go."

"Old Ge, we've been working together pretty well these past few months, right? On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate me as your instructor?"

Ge Zhiyong smoked half of his cigarette before turning to look at him: "Ten."

"Oh wow, the satisfaction rating is so high?" Bi Yuan's face was full of surprise. "I thought you would give me a five, the highest is six, after all, I always contradict you."

Ge Zhiyong smiled. "It's all about work. You have your position, and I have mine. Didn't you see Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang bickering every day in the show "Bright Sword"?

Bi Yuan laughed out loud: "Your analogy is quite appropriate. Thank you, Captain Ge, for your high evaluation of me."

He put his hand on his hip, smoking, and continued, "To be honest, this class of recruits is probably the best I've ever led. Whether it's their average grades or their attitude towards housekeeping and daily training, they're all very good."

Ge Zhiyong nodded in agreement.

But the reason is that Class 4 set a good example.

With his own efforts, he led the entire company of recruits to thrive.

That’s the role of a leader.

The two chatted for a while while smoking.

After all, once the recruit training ends, their cooperative relationship will end.

The 402nd Regiment is neither big nor small.

But the scope of activities of soldiers is usually limited.

Even in the same camp, if there is no overlap in work, it is normal not to see each other once a year.

What's more, Bi Yuan works in the Youth League headquarters and rarely comes to the grassroots level.

After finishing their cigarettes, the two prepared to return to their dormitories.

Ge Zhiyong had only taken two steps when he was suddenly stopped by Bi Yuan.

"Lao Ge, let's be partners. I still have something to tell you."

"what happened?"

Ge Zhiyong turned around and found that Bi Yuan's expression was a little serious.

"In theory, this kind of thing is confidential and I shouldn't tell you, but I don't want you to be kept in the dark either."

"It's actually not that simple for your Sixth Company to be separated and become a division-affiliated unit. The situation is very complicated."

"Where did you hear that?" Ge Zhiyong frowned slightly.

He wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Bi Yuan.

"I can't say much else, but you have to be careful. The division's Tiger Reconnaissance Company may be famous, but it's a double-edged sword."

"You need to put in much more effort than when you were in the group."

"That's all I can say. You should get some rest early. I should go back to bed too."

After saying that, Bi Yuan turned and walked towards his dormitory.

Ge Zhiyong looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

But he didn't understand what this double-edged sword meant.

Forget it, if I can’t figure it out, I’d better not think about it anymore.

all will be good.

Let’s go back to sleep. Tomorrow’s awarding ceremony is the real big event.

......

The next morning, there was no morning exercise.

After breakfast, all the recruits returned to the dormitory.

Some were polishing shoes, some were doing their hair.

Li Jiasheng put on his military uniform and polished his little leather shoes to a shine.

She was holding a small pink mirror, the kind most commonly found in two-dollar stores, and kept looking at herself in the mirror to admire her beauty.

"So handsome, so cool!"

Qi Meng, who was polishing his leather shoes next to him, found it really funny to see him acting so pretentious.

"I see, you're acting like you're going on a blind date, you've been taking pictures back and forth for over ten minutes!"

"What do you know? Do you know how important the commissioning ceremony is? This is a very grand day. We will soon be able to shed the title of rookie and become a glorious private!"

"Brother Feng, is a private considered a recruit?"

Chen Sanxi looked curiously at Qin Feng who was changing clothes beside him.

Qin Feng smiled at him and said, "As long as the next batch of recruits doesn't arrive, we will still be rookies in the eyes of the veterans."

"Oh my god, is that so?"

When Li Jiasheng heard this, his face immediately drooped.

He also thought that after three months in the recruit company, he finally became a mother-in-law.

After all this time, we still have to wait for the next batch of recruits to arrive?

It turned out that I was happy for nothing.

Beep beep——

The assembly whistle blew downstairs.

Qin Feng immediately organized everyone to line up at the door.

With neat steps, we quickly led everyone to the downstairs to gather and stand.

"Later, we will go to the regimental drill ground to hold a rank awarding ceremony for everyone!"

"Everyone turn right and run!"

Without any nonsense, Ge Zhiyong led the team directly to the regiment headquarters playground.

The regimental headquarters' playground is very large, at least twice as large as that of the recruit company.

The playground was surrounded by red flags, which were fluttering in the wind, as if welcoming their arrival.

Directly in front is a viewing platform with a long table on it.

The group leader Qiu Guohai and the committee member Ji Mingyuan sat in the middle.

The one standing next to him with a smile on his face the whole time is Chief of Staff Sun Quan.

The other unfamiliar faces should be the leading cadres of the group.

There was a fiery red banner under the viewing platform with the words written on it.

The 402th annual recruit awarding ceremony and enlistment oath ceremony of the 14nd Regiment!

The new recruits came to the playground one after another and gathered and stood in line, feeling extremely excited.

I've suffered for more than three months, waiting for this day.

The so-called recruit company is actually an adaptation period.

It is a process that helps you complete the transformation from a member of society.

Only by wearing a military rank can one be truly accepted by the army and become a real soldier.

The recruits were looking forward to it, their big eyes bright and lively.

But at this moment, Qin Feng was looking around, looking for someone.

But even after the team gathered, Qin Feng still didn't see that figure.

Didn’t you come?

Qin Feng suddenly felt a little lost.

"stand at attention!"

"Take a break!"

After Ge Zhiyong completed the formation, he ran to the viewing platform and saluted.

"Comrade Commander, the new recruit company was supposed to have 105 people, but only 104 have actually arrived. Those who are not here are still recuperating in the hospital. Please give us your instructions!"

Qiu Guohai returned the greeting, then picked up the microphone and began to speak.

Most of them are encouragement, praise, and content that encourages everyone to make progress.

But Qin Feng was in a daze and didn't hear a word.

The awarding of titles was about to begin, but Zhao Pengfei still hadn't shown up.

Just when Qin Feng was disappointed and thought that the squad leader would definitely not come.

A car was speeding slowly from a distance.

Not only did it drive into the playground, it even arrogantly parked on the right side of the viewing stand.

This scene made everyone present drop their jaws in shock.

But it also made Qin Feng's eyes shine with excitement!
