Chapter 46 What? Do you think the company commander would wrongly accuse you? [Please read on! Pleas
Military life has one distinctive feature.
In rural areas, happy times are always short, while agonizing days are always long.
But in the military, whether it's tough or joyful, time always flies by.
"Beep!"
"Fifth Company! Assemble in the corridor!"
Then came the rumbling footsteps in the corridor, and one by one, my comrades rushed out of the dormitory.
Chu Zhao then realized that it was time to eat.
Chu Zhao hurriedly stuffed the stool back under the bed and ran out of the dormitory while putting on his training uniform jacket.
Ye Pengfei leaned against the door, one hand covering his eyes, his brows furrowed.
He always felt like he had forgotten something, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Are all classes present?"
"Class One is all present!"
"Class Two is all present!"
Seeing that Ye Pengfei was still lost in thought, Chu Zhao, who was near the door, turned around and called out softly to Ye Pengfei.
"Class monitor."
"Um?"
Ye Pengfei was stunned at first, then came to his senses in a daze and went to the corridor to shout loudly.
"All three shifts are present!"
"..."
It wasn't until the response "Class Nine is all here" came from the end of the corridor that the answer was heard.
The platoon leader on duty glared at Ye Pengfei before speaking with an unfriendly expression.
"You class leaders, be careful."
"We're assembling! I'm not kidding you!"
"Quick movements! Quick reactions! These are the bare minimum requirements. Do I need to teach you?"
"I won't call out names in front of the new recruits today, to save you some face."
"If you do it again, don't blame me for treating you like a recruit. I'll see how ashamed you are!"
With a heavy "humph," the platoon leader took the lead and walked towards the stairwell.
"Meet downstairs!"
"Class One, turn right!"
"Class Two, turn right!"
"..."
Commands echoed throughout the corridor.
While going downstairs, some new recruits who already knew each other but had been assigned to different companies gathered together and chatted quietly.
"What did you guys even do today? Repair the blankets?"
"Yeah! My hands are killing me right now, how about yours?"
"Holy crap? You guys even repair blankets? How many blankets did you get thrown at you? Our company's toilets are overflowing!"
"..."
The new recruits chatted amongst themselves, sharing their harrowing experiences.
By the end, some of the new recruits' voices were starting to sound like they were about to cry.
"I'm so tired I can barely lift my arms... How am I going to eat later...?"
"I kind of want to go home..."
This complaint immediately resonated with the surrounding recruits, leading more and more of them to join the discussion.
"Yeah! This military unit isn't what I expected!"
"We've been here for so many days, and we haven't seen a single gun or tank. We're supposed to be an army!"
"All you do all day is rummage through that tattered blanket!"
"Won't it be like this every day from now on? How am I supposed to live like this..."
Hey you guys at the stairwell! What the hell are you yelling about?!
"Don't you want to eat?"
With a shout from an officer, the recruits who were complaining just a moment ago fell silent and quickened their pace.
Unfortunately, in the military, many things cannot be avoided simply by ignoring them.
Soon, Chu Zhao arrived at the open space in front of the building and lined up under Ye Pengfei's command.
At the same time, Chu Zhao suddenly saw the officer who had been angrily reprimanding the new recruits at the stairwell running from the direction of the Sixth Company's ranks and whispering something in Tao Jianhua's ear.
Tao Jianhua's face visibly darkened.
"Alright, alright... After all these days, you still can't remember the rules?"
"You were even thinking about chatting during the meeting? You seem to be in a good mood?"
"Love to chat? Can't keep your mouth shut? Then you'll have your fill!"
"Duty officer!"
Upon hearing this, the platoon leader standing at the right front of the formation immediately stepped forward, then turned 45 degrees to the command position where Tao Jianhua was, and shouted.
"arrive!"
"Sing for me, company by company!"
"When you've sung enough, when you're tired of singing, when your singing gets loud enough, then you can bring me into the cafeteria for lunch!"
"yes!"
After saying that, Tao Jianhua angrily stepped back a few steps and handed over the command position to the platoon leader.
Without wasting words, the platoon leader immediately made a command gesture and gave the order.
"The cold wind is blowing... no, the majestic Jinggang Mountains, get ready, sing!"
"The majestic Jinggang Mountains, where the August 1st Army Flag flies high!"
"For the first time in history, the people have their own People's Liberation Army!"
"..."
During the two days Chu Zhao was hospitalized, the other new recruits had only one task left besides folding blankets and submitting their personal information.
Learn to sing military songs!
Whether you're tone-deaf or sing off-key, once you join the army, everyone has to learn to sing military songs, and you can't just not sing them loudly!
For example, right now.
Tao Jianhua's face was dark, his eyes were wide open like two light bulbs, and he stared unblinkingly at all the new recruits of the Fifth Company.
After a song was finished, Tao Jianhua would coldly say, "Not loud enough!" and all the new recruits would have to continue singing at the top of their lungs.
After singing three songs, the recruits were so tired their throats were parched, but Tao Jianhua was still not satisfied.
"Again!"
"continue!"
"Didn't you eat?"
Upon hearing this, the new recruits, who had been singing military songs for more than ten minutes, immediately cursed him in their hearts!
Don't you know whether we've eaten or not?
How dare you even mention it?
In some faster-moving companies, new recruits, led by their squad leaders, were already returning to their dormitories one after another.
I smelled the aroma of food wafting from the cafeteria, and felt a tearing pain in my throat.
The new recruits suffered both physical and psychological torment, and their singing voices gradually faded away.
After another military song was sung, even Chu Zhao, who used his chest voice, was starting to feel the strain.
Thank goodness.
Unlike before, Tao Jianhua didn't impatiently utter "Again." Instead, he craned his neck and kept glancing towards the second row.
"The third recruit from the left in the fifth squad, Zhang Xinyu, right?"
"arrive!"
"Why did you only open your mouth but not make a sound during the chorus just now?"
Are you tired? Or do you want to slack off?
As Tao Jianhua's stern questioning continued, more and more eyes fell on Zhang Xinyu.
Seeing that his clever trick had been seen through, Zhang Xinyu panicked and immediately made a decision!
I absolutely refuse to admit it!
Anyway, he was standing in the queue, and he did speak.
With so many people singing along, how could Tao Jianhua be so sure that he didn't make a sound?
Perhaps Tao Jianhua was just bluffing him!
Yes, it must be so!
With this in mind, Tao Jianhua felt a little more at ease and immediately replied with full confidence.
"Report!"
"Company Commander, I just spoke! You must have misheard..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Then, the squad leader of the fifth squad, who was standing at the head of the fifth squad's line, rushed up to Zhang Xinyu without saying a word and delivered a merciless front kick, sending Zhang Xinyu flying into the air and crashing into the new recruits behind him!
"Who the hell are you arguing with?"
"what!"
"What? Do you think the company commander would wrongly accuse you?"
