The much-anticipated June 20th of Balian has finally arrived.

On this day, the entire Eighth Company was extraordinarily lively.

Early in the morning, unlike the usual early morning exercises, I didn't run 5 kilometers today, and I didn't do physical training.

The cooking class added special dishes today. Usually it was ordinary steamed buns and leek steamed buns with pickled vegetables porridge. Today, it has been raised a level - sugar steamed buns and meat buns, and the porridge has been replaced with soy milk. Fried peppers.

The steamed buns are sweet, the buns are fragrant, and the recruits of the Eighth Company are happier than the festival today, and the atmosphere in the dining hall is much more lively than usual.

"I heard that someone from the regiment came to supervise our selection of the pre-scheduled monitor!"

"Yes, the company commander's instructor went to the door early in the morning and waited, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon."

"Scare! You still need to supervise!? Are you afraid we will cheat?"

"You know what! We are stationed outside alone, it is estimated that in the regiment..."

The talking soldier looked left and right, and then lowered his voice like a thief.

"It is estimated that we are afraid that our company commander will let the backdoor soldiers go, which will affect the image of the regiment. The training camp is going to the division headquarters. We have to meet the headquarters assessment, so we must not be sloppy..."

Preliminary squad leader training is an annual company event.

The so-called event is not because of how high the position of monitor is.

Squad leader, but the head and tail of the army, is the most numerous position.

However, for any ordinary soldier, if he wants to develop in the army, the position of squad leader is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Most of the squad leaders need to go through the training of the teaching brigade to obtain a graduation certificate. Only with the graduation certificate of the teaching brigade can they obtain the squad leader's order, and only with the squad leader's order can they improve their rank and position.

The most important thing is that serving as a squad leader involves two major events—joining the party and taking the military academy exam.

Although those who are admitted to the military academy are not required to undergo training in the teaching brigade, just like Chen Qingming, the company can also be promoted or admitted to the military academy according to the actual situation.

It's just that this situation is very rare. For many soldiers, not being a shift supervisor means being isolated from the military academy.

The honorable thing of joining the party is to take care of the squad leader first. For a company with more than 90 recruits like the Eighth Company, the quota for joining the party and taking the military academy for one year is limited.

Going to teach the brigade in the first year is not only an acknowledgement of a soldier's military literacy, but also a great help to his military future.

Although the second year can also go, but the service period is only three years, and the first year is completely different concept.

Xu Xingguo was ready to win.

He knew he could never lose.

After leaving the small mountain village in the county town of his hometown, he secretly vowed in his heart that no matter how hard or tired he was in the army, he would definitely stand out.

After breakfast, everyone gathered, and everyone began to organize their weapons and equipment on the side of the basketball court.

Ten 81-1 automatic rifles that have been calibrated are placed in the center of the court, and there are all kinds of infantry light weapons next to them - 81 light machine guns, 85 sniper rifles, 69 40 rocket launchers, 63-1 60MM force Cannonball.

There were several boxes of unopened 7.62mm caliber rifle ammunition nearby. Deputy company commander Li Ding and several squad leaders were checking the ammunition.

When the cooking class entered, the audience burst into laughter.

This is the first time the soldiers of the whole company have seen a fully-staffed cooking squad appear in front of everyone.

Today, instead of carrying pots and pans, the cooking class carried an automatic rifle, buckled a Type 56 belt, and carried a grenade, with four Type 67 wooden handles neatly inserted into it. Trainer rounds for grenades.

"Wow! The shotgun is replaced by the gun!"

"Hey! Xu Xingxing, have you learned to practice narrowing the target!?"

"Tong Yibo, don't cover your ears when you shoot this time!"

"Welcome to the comrades of the cooking class to make a grand debut today!"

The soldiers in the platoon began to boo.

After all, everyone came out of a recruit company, and they knew each other well.

What is the training level of the recruits in the cooking class? Everyone is blind eating dumplings—knowing!

Xu Xingxing lowered his head and blushed, the brim of his hat pulled low.

He was laughed at because he was the worst shooter in the recruit company.

In the first recruit assessment, he set a record of eight companies, and he practiced 5 rounds and 0 rings!

That's right!

is zero!

Four bullets missed the target and did not know where to go, but one hit the target, but unfortunately it hit the blank area in the upper left corner, not even the sixth ring.

At that time, Xu Xingxing was still a recruit in the third platoon and seventh shift of the Eighth Company, and Wu Han, the then third platoon leader, was so angry that he scolded his mother on the spot at the shooting range.

When this kind of soldier was in the company, the third platoon leader Wu Hansheng hurriedly recommended him to the cooking class like a **** of plague. Even Xu Xingxing's family was in the business of luwei snacks. He said that this comrade is a family of food and drink, since childhood. I am familiar with cooking dishes, and going to the cooking class will definitely improve the standard of Balian's food by a notch.

And Tong Yibo is a more bizarre existence.

Because of the first live ammunition assessment, Tong Yibo was almost picked up by the squad leader from the firing position and beaten.

Because when he pulled the trigger, he was jumped by the sound of gunfire next to him and released his hands to cover his ears.

The powerful recoil jumped the automatic rifle that still had four rounds in the chamber and magazine that could penetrate 8mm A3 bullets at 400 meters.

Fortunately, every recruit would have a squad leader security guard beside him when he was shooting, who held down the chilling gun with his eyes and hands fast.

After the live ammunition shooting that day, Tong Yibo crawled back to the row room in a low position...

Amid the laughter of the soldiers in the whole company, the soldiers of the cooking class walked into the assembled queue with their heads bowed, like the remnants of a defeated battle.

Chen Qingming suddenly stood up and raised his hands like a conductor: "Brothers in the first row! It's rare for the comrades in our cooking class to come to our assessment today, let's play a song with them?! "

"Okay!" the soldiers in the platoon shouted excitedly.

"Learn the best example - get ready to sing!"

After waiting for the soldiers in a row to finish singing, Chen Qingming called out the song: "Cooking class, come one!"

The soldiers in a row shouted: "Come on! Cooking class!"

"12345, we waited so hard!"

"1234567, we are so anxious to wait!"

"If you are asked to sing, you sing, and it doesn't look like it! No-like-like!"

A row of roars wave after wave, passing over the heads of every soldier in the cooking squad like a wave.

"They bully people!"

Tong Yibo hooked his neck, lowered his head, and reached out to lower the brim of his hat.

"There are only 8 of us, and there are more than 30 of them!"
