Chapter 28: The Best Platoon Leader In The New Recruit Company
Cheng Cai was very excited to become the Deputy Squad Leader, and as soon as he took office, he started speaking in an official tone.
Although Shi Jin didn’t really like this tone, he didn’t show any obvious displeasure, and after Cheng Cai finished, he took the lead in applauding again.
“Clap clap clap…”
The whole squad’s applause rang out again.
The selection of the Deputy Squad Leader came to an end, and the next week was still Drill Training, with Physical Training starting after 4 p.m.
One week with two 3 Kilometers, one 5 Kilometers, plus equipment and Training Ground.
This physical intensity wasn’t very high.
But for new recruits who had just entered the Troops, this intensity was already challenging their limits, and they needed to make an Effort to overcome it.
Xu Sanduo’s Drill had Cheng Cai and the Second Platoon new recruits taking turns giving him constant overtime Special Training, and now he could already keep up with the training progress.
Physical Training finally didn’t make any more mistakes, and even added a bit of glory for Shi Jin.
Xu Sanduo, as a countryside kid, had done farm work since childhood, so his body and Effort weren’t small, especially since he had been chased and beaten by his father since young, circling around the village, which trained his Leg Work, and he basically didn’t know fatigue when running.
So in Physical Training, this relatively difficult subject, Xu Sanduo didn’t continue to hold back the team.
Shi Jin, who had always been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a sigh of relief in this phase, and his tense nerves could relax, no need to worry anymore.
Chen Jun, in order not to let Xu Sanduo make more mistakes and avoid leaving too many bad impressions on Gao Cheng.
Specially organized all the new recruits in the Second Platoon during this third week to study the Confidentiality Regulations, and they had to be able to recite them backwards and forwards.
Through this, improve the new recruits’ Secrecy Awareness, and let them understand what to pay attention to in the Army.
Especially Xu Sanduo!
Chen Jun knew Xu Sanduo hadn’t awakened yet, and his understanding of many things was very simple, simple to the point of stupidity, so he did targeted strengthened Learning.
Xu Sanduo had the ability of never forgetting what he saw, and basically remembered everything after one look.
But he didn’t understand it, it was just rote memorization.
Fortunately, Chen Jun acted as his Translator, explaining every article of the Confidentiality Regulations, which finally made Xu Sanduo understand what confidentiality meant.
The study of Confidentiality Regulations ended, and the third week’s training also came to an end.
On the afternoon when this week ended, all nine squads of the company underwent Drill Assessment, selecting the squad with the best Drill to award the Military Training advanced squad Mobile Red Flag.
In the end, the Sixth Squad responsible for Wu Liu Yi won this precious Honor.
The Fifth Squad was originally the strongest contender, but unfortunately, although Xu Sanduo could complete all Drill actions, he was still some distance from the Excellent Standard.
Even with Cheng Cai, who had the best Drill walking, they still regrettably lost the Mobile Red Flag.
Fortunately, the squad already had one Mobile Red Flag, and not getting the second one was a bit regrettable, but Xu Sanduo finally passed the Drill Training.
Shi Jin was quite satisfied with this Result.
Chen Jun, as the Platoon Leader, was even happier.
Now the company had only released two Mobile Red Flags, and both flags had gone to his responsible Second Platoon, which meant the Second Platoon was the most outstanding platoon, and he, Chen Jun, was the most outstanding Platoon Leader in the new recruit company.
Chen Jun enjoyed this Honor.
And from the moment the Drill mini-exam ended, the new recruit training entered the next stage.
From Drill Training to Shooting Training.
From the previous only daily Drill Training, plus routine afternoon Physical Training, it became morning Drill Training, afternoon basic skills Shooting Training, and overtime Physical Training at night.
Shooting is the most core Skill of a Soldier, and it is also the subject that requires the most Time to learn, as well as the most difficult subject.
Not to mention the most critical Aiming and Shooting, which requires a lot of Skill and Technology.
Even the Aiming Posture that must be practiced before Shooting, whether Standing Posture, Kneeling Posture, or Prone Posture, each shooting posture has its own intricacies.
It takes a lot of ruthless Kung Fu for the new recruits to basically get started.
In order to make the new recruits have higher Positivity in Shooting Training.
Gao Cheng specially gathered all the new recruits in the warehouse dormitory on the morning of starting the new subject, preparing to give the new recruits some Power and Temptation.
A two-meter-wide passage was left in the middle of the dormitory, enough to easily fit dozens of new recruits.
The Entrance position was set up as the Grandstand, where Gao Cheng and Political Instructor He Hongtao, along with the three Platoon Leaders, stood in a row, just enough to sit.
“Hello, comrades.”
“Hello, Company Commander.”
The standard Army meeting opening dialogue, and the new recruits were very responsive, shouting loudly with all their might.
“This guy, the voice even has explosive consonants, looks like the Spirit is pretty good, just based on this shout, you really look a bit like Soldiers.”
Drill Training and Housekeeping were done well, Gao Cheng was in a very good mood, not only rarely praising the new recruits, but also caringly asking: “Drill Training has been going for two weeks, you all must be tired of walking, right.”
“Not tired.”
The new recruits answered in unison, with very loud voices.
This was the “Rules” taught by the Squad Leader!
“Not tired? If you’re not tired, that would be a miracle, I got tired just watching from the side.”
Gao Cheng, in a great mood, started joking, making everyone present laugh.
Then he continued: “However, let me tell you, Drill is the basics of a Soldier, if you can’t walk this Drill well, even if you serve in the Army for a lifetime, no one in this Army will treat you as a Soldier.
Also, one more thing to note, when writing letters home, don’t say that in the Troops you’re only doing Drill.
When new recruit period ends and you go down to the Combat Company, there will be so much more to learn, all kinds of Equipment, enough to dazzle you.”
The purpose of Gao Cheng’s meeting was to motivate, and speaking to this point, he began his Temptation.
“Not to mention anything else, just my Reconnaissance Company, it has nine Armored Vehicles, three Sniper Teams, each one is an Elite Soldier, all like Squad Leader Shi.”
To further increase persuasiveness, Gao Cheng specially named: “Hey, Squad Leader Shi.”
“Here!”
Shi Jin stood up and answered.
“In last April’s anti-tank Exercise, how many Tanks did your squad take out?” Gao Cheng asked.
“Report Company Commander, five.” Shi Jin answered.
“Did you hear that? Five!!”
Gao Cheng turned his gaze back to the new recruits, deliberately emphasizing the last two words: “See, this is the result of modern Soldiers plus Technology content.
Since we’ve talked about it today, let me tell you about the training subjects of my Reconnaissance Company.”
Gao Cheng spoke with particular pride about Steel Seventh Company, hands behind his back, speaking sonorously: “Firearm Shooting of various models, including various terrains, including Night Combat Environment.
Firearm Principles, maintenance and Maintenance, Combat Vehicle Driving, Mastery of vehicle-mounted weapons, Combat Vehicle Maintenance, Individual Anti-tank and anti-combat vehicle Training, mastery of Individual Anti-tank Missile and Anti-aircraft Missile…”
