War Military: From 1978

Chapter 232: Selecting Soldiers! Opening the Box
On the playground, some recruits' faces obviously changed.

Not everyone who joins the army wants to fight in a war.

What's more, now that the counterattack is over, some of the battle conditions have been exposed.

Although the newspapers are mostly filled with information about victory, these news of victory often also describe the price our army paid.

Those are human lives.

They thought the war was really over, and it didn't matter even if they were assigned to the southwest. Some even thought about going to the southwest to listen to the veterans' stories about how they personally defeated the Japanese.

But now it is not the case at all.

Yes!
There is a story here.

But it seems that they can still continue their story here.

Chu An was staring at the new recruits in front of him at this time, his eyes sweeping over them.

As the company commander of the special forces company directly under the regiment, he will be given priority when selecting soldiers later.

He is now looking for candidates.

He definitely wouldn't take those who were obviously afraid or terrified.

Of course, not only those who are afraid of emotions, but also those who appear too excited need to be considered.

Scouts need to be stable soldiers.

Some soldiers, especially the new recruits, are really like young and inexperienced people. On the battlefield, their performance is impeccable and they are absolutely not afraid of death.

Even though there was a bunker in front of him, he dared to rush forward with a bag of explosives in his arms, facing the muzzle of a machine gun.

But this kind of person is not suitable to be a scout.

They get carried away too easily. When fighting behind enemy lines, they may easily expose all of their men because of their impulsiveness.

His eyes swept back and forth over the new recruits in front of him, but after all, there were too many of them, and they were standing in a line in front, so Chu An could only see the first two or three rows of new recruits.

"Captain Chu!"

Finally, the Chief of Staff finished his speech.

He turned around and looked at Chu An.

"To!"

Chu An responded and then walked directly to the front of the team.

"Fuck, isn't this the great hero Chu?"

"Yeah! I hadn't seen him just now! It turned out to be him. I heard that he seems to be the company commander. Are we going to serve under him?"

"Too fierce!"

At this moment, some recruits in the back row couldn't help but whisper.

Chief of Staff, they don’t know him, but Chu An!
There have been many reports about Chu An in newspapers recently.

There were also photos among them. Although they were not color photos, it was not surprising that after the chief of staff called out "Captain Chu", they compared their memories and vaguely recognized the person.

Chu An looked around at the queue in front of him, which seemed a little agitated.

"Silence!" he roared in a deep voice.

"Is this how you recruits get here?"

"Didn't your recruit company squad leader teach you drill discipline?" Chu An scolded twice in a row.

In an instant, the queue became quiet.

With a sullen face, Chu An calmed down and then did not continue to hesitate.

He spoke to the line, "Raise your hands if you have a high school diploma!"

Chu An didn't introduce himself to them.

That's not necessary.

At this moment, the faces of the other battalion and company cadres behind the chief of staff suddenly became grim.

Especially the instructor of the artillery battalion, his eyes turned green.

Are you so picky about people?

They also want some educated soldiers!

But Chu An wants to catch them all in one fell swoop?
However, there is nothing they can do about it.

Immediately, a few people in the team of five or six hundred people raised their hands.

There were really very few. Chu An took a quick look and saw that there were only about thirty people.

And some of them are obviously not suitable to be scouts.

"I can't keep my math grades above the passing line!"

Immediately, five or six people put it down.

High school math is still a bit difficult.

Chu An took a look and immediately spoke again: "Those who have only junior high school education but have excellent math grades and can often score above 80 points during school, please raise your hands!"

This time, more people raised their hands. Suddenly, there were thirty or forty more people raising their hands.

Immediately, Chu An walked into the queue.

"You, take your luggage and get out of the line!"

"you you you."

Chu An started to call out names of people, but strangely, this time Chu An did not only call out those who raised their hands.

In fact, Chu An was also helpless.

These soldiers were not trained by the C Regiment. Now they have been sent here, but their files and the results of the training assessment of the recruit company have not been sent to the C Regiment in advance.

The conditions proposed by Chu An were to screen new recruits who could serve as artillery reconnaissance soldiers, but Chu An did not make any requirements for the soldiers in the engineering and guard platoons.

Just choose based on your eyesight and open the blind box on the spot.

For the guard platoon, try to choose someone who is taller and has a better image and spirit.

For the engineering platoon, we choose those who look calmer and more capable.

As for the final reconnaissance platoon, choose the soldiers who look calm and have acceptable physical fitness among those who raised their hands.

Soon, Chu An had selected forty-five people.

For a moment, the cadres behind the chief of staff looked at the soldiers selected by Chu An, looked at each other, and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

The instructor of the artillery battalion was especially angry. He ran forward and dragged away the scouts selected by Chu An.

They also need soldiers who are good at math!

Especially now the artillery observer positions, they also need to recruit new soldiers.

But now Chu An has taken the lead with a clear goal. Even if there are still thirty or forty people raising their hands, it seems that the best ones have been selected by Chu An.

Really, if the chief of staff wasn't right in front of him, and if he wasn't in front of so many new recruits, he would really go up and pull Chu An to beg him to show mercy and leave him a few good soldiers.

But there is no if in all this.

After Chu An finished selecting the people, he came out and took them away directly.

He could only watch helplessly.

Watch Chu An take everyone away.

There is already a group of people waiting at the special forces company’s headquarters.

Although we didn't prepare any gongs, drums, banners, etc., but since the new recruits have just arrived, we should at least applaud them. We should also take them out for a bowl of noodles later.

Of course, that was later.

At present, the old soldiers were standing in two rows, and Chu An led the new recruits to the middle of the two rows of old soldiers.

"My name is Chu An! I'm your company commander!"

Came up to the platoon leaders of the guard platoon and the engineering platoon.

Chu An looked back at the team behind him whose formation was a little scattered and shouted.

Looking around at everyone, Chu An shouted with a serious face: "First of all, welcome to join our special forces company!"

"Papa~"

The veterans on both sides and the two cadres behind Chu An applauded together.

But despite the applause, no one had a smile on their face. They all looked serious. Some people were even injured, with bandages on their heads or bodies, and there was obvious blood on the bandages.

To be honest, all the new recruits in front of him were very nervous.

Special forces company?
A few of the new recruits didn't know what company this was.

But now, looking at the situation of the veterans on both sides, they all felt that this company was a little unusual.

The applause stopped and Chu An looked around at the forty-five recruits in front of him.

Chu An's eyes were sharp as he looked around slowly. The new recruits felt a little scared under Chu An's gaze.

"Comrades, is there anyone who dares not go to the battlefield?" Chu An suddenly spoke.

"Report! I'm not afraid!"

"Report, I'm not afraid!"

Immediately, more than one person spoke with their heads held high, and then more and more voices came.

In just a moment, all forty-five people spoke.

Chu An's expression softened a little, and he even smiled.

"Very good, it seems my eyesight is pretty good!"

Their answers were not unexpected to Chu An. After all, he had looked into their eyes when he was selecting people.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. When Chu An selected people just now, apart from some hard conditions, the rest was just looking at the eyes.

Those who dare not look him in the eye are not included in his selection range.
