Chapter 18 Section 9

On the playground of the Great Gong Troupe.The recruits are practicing in the queue, and the old Pao is doing demonstration actions in front of the team. A burst of ear-shattering slogans came, with murderous intent: "One! Two! Three! Four!" The eyes of the recruits drifted over—a company of soldiers, with their heads and shoulders bare and their tendons exposed, wearing camouflage pants and marine boots, was running across the playground with an 81-1 automatic rifle on their shoulders.The young Chen Pai was leading the team. Like a whirlwind, they floated past the recruits, taking away countless eyes.

Lao Pao was in a good mood: "See? This is the reconnaissance company, the company I am in! It is well-known in the army, nicknamed the 'Night Tiger' reconnaissance company! Since the Jinggangshan era, our Night Tiger Company has been the sharp knife company of the Red Army. In almost all wars, the Night Tiger Company has a brilliant record. Whether it is in our division, the 81st Army, or even in the eyes of the chief of the Southeast War Zone, the Night Tiger Company is a heroic company that dares to fight!" The recruits looked enviously at Yehuo Lian swaggering through the market, and stopped in the distance.Chen was at the front of the line saying something, and then shouted: "Scout Company!"

The scouts responded sharply: "Kill—" The team disbanded immediately. Xiwa said enviously, "Oh, that's great! This is like being a soldier!" Xiao Zhuang watched and said to Xiwa in a low voice: "If you are assigned to this company, you will be dead. The scouts can't even be killed!" Lao Pao gave him a dissatisfied look: "You think you can go if you want? If you are not the best recruit, you will not be able to go to the reconnaissance company! If you are not the best scout, you will not be able to stay in the Yehu Company!" Xiwa asked again: "Squad...squad leader! This is the special forces, right?"

Lao Pao's expression immediately changed: "All of them are available—five kilometers of unarmed cross-country, and the time limit is 22 minutes to complete! Anyone who exceeds this limit should not eat lunch! Let's start!" The recruits ran away immediately. Xiao Zhuang said to Xiwa angrily: "You are really, which pot is not open and which pot is not lifted?" "What's wrong?" "Stop talking nonsense, let's run along! Don't ask the squad leader to say "special forces" in the future!" Xiwa wondered, but didn't dare to ask again.

The recruits ran away, dust flying behind them.Lao Pao stood on the playground with inexplicable sadness in his eyes.Miao Lian came over, looked at the recruits who were screaming up the mountain and said, "You have a good way of handling recruits!" Lao Pao turned around and stood at attention to salute: "Company Commander!" Miao Lian returned the salute: "Take it easy--the recruits this time have been recruited well, and there are a few seedlings worth noting." "yes." "Find a way to find me a reconnaissance company! Especially that soldier—a college student who joins the army, what's his name?"

"Xiao Zhuang." "Yes! Xiaozhuang, I am sure to win! If necessary, add fire and make something happen! I want soldiers that others dare not want!" "Yeah, I got it!" "By the way, how are you preparing for this year's special forces selection?" "Report! This year I am sure to win! I have reviewed foreign languages ​​and chemistry for a year, and I will definitely become a special soldier!" "Okay, this is my soldier! The scout company of the fucking 586 regiment was selected two last year at one go, and their company commander's nose is almost going to heaven. In the special brigade! None of them can be returned to me! I have to let the chief officers of the 586 regiment, the 587 regiment and the division reconnaissance battalion take a look. My old Miao is the best reconnaissance company commander! Do you understand?!"

"Yes, I understand!" Miao Lian nodded. He looked towards the top of the mountain, and the figures of the recruits were already far away.
