War Military: From 1978

Chapter 275 Reporting for Registration, Entering the School!
"Yue Shuyi!"

"Yes, I am!"

At the registration desk, the soldier registering the documents looked up, holding the notification letter.

Before him stood a simply dressed, honest-looking young man who seemed a bit timid.

He wasn't wearing a military uniform, and at first glance, he didn't even look like a soldier. His responses to questions and answers were also unlike those of a soldier.

However, Chu An was not surprised.

Because back in late July, he had read an article in the newspaper while he was in the army that said...

In order to optimize the cultural structure of military officers and reform the officer appointment system, starting this year, military academies across the country will recruit college students from local college entrance examinations.

Chu An was somewhat taken aback when he saw the news about this.

Because in his memory, military academies have always been accessible through the national college entrance examination, haven't they?
He later learned that even though the college entrance examination was reinstated last year, military academies did not recruit students from local areas.

This year marks the first batch of local high school graduates entering military academies.

"Go to the back and wait in the car."

Next!"

The registration desk kept taking people's orders, and people kept coming up behind Chu An.

When the train arrived at the station, many students from the same infantry school arrived.

After waiting in line for six or seven minutes, it was finally Chu An's turn.

"Name, whether you are a local high school graduate or a military student, admission notice, and identification documents!"

The soldier registering in front of him glanced at Chu An and then lowered his head to continue flipping through the registration book.

"Chu An, a military cadet, this is my admission notice and identification!"

Chu An took out his admission notice and identification documents.

The soldier in front of him glanced at Chu An's admission notice and then opened his officer's ID.
next second.

The soldier stood up, saluted Chu An, and then said, "Chu An, welcome to the infantry school!"

His attitude not only surprised Chu An, but also made everyone else in line behind him stare wide-eyed.

Will he still stand up and salute?
What's the situation with this student, Chu An?
However, no one offered any explanation. Chu An simply returned the greeting and asked, "Is there anything else I need to register?"

The soldier sat down in front of him, quickly completed the registration, and then handed back Chu An's admission notice and military ID with both hands: "No need, we're just verifying personal information for now."

"Chu An, you can wait in car number one at the back!"

"it is good!"

Chu An saw it; there was an old-fashioned bus and two trucks right outside the station.

"Is he a soldier from the military? Why isn't he wearing a uniform?"

"Why are there separate bus and truck options?"

In the back of the line, someone was whispering.

But clearly, they won't get any results for now.

In fact, Chu An was also a little surprised.

However, Chu An quickly figured this out.

After getting on the bus, Chu An saw that the three people who had already boarded were all wearing military uniforms with four pockets.

This proves that they were already officers in the military.

Meanwhile, on the two trucks next to them, some people in military uniforms also got on.

But their uniforms all had two pockets.

The situation is clear.

The car Chu An was in likely carried officers like himself undergoing advanced training, while the trucks next to him carried military exam candidates and local college entrance exam takers.

"Comrade, which unit are you from?"

As soon as Chu An sat down in the car, a soldier wearing a four-pocket uniform smiled and asked him a question.

These days, wearing a military uniform is actually both fashionable and prestigious.

Ordinary people are proud to wear military uniforms, let alone real soldiers.

So it's quite unusual for someone like Chu An, who is an officer, to come dressed in civilian clothes.

"Iron Bones Heroes, Chu An!" Chu An introduced himself with a smile.

"Oh, it's you! I felt like I'd seen you somewhere before!" As soon as Chu An finished speaking, an officer sitting in front of him turned around with a smile and said.

There are differences between officers; at least when they were registering, the soldier didn't stand up and salute them.

"Comrade Chu, I never imagined that I would be classmates with a great hero like you. It's truly an honor!"

"It was you!"
"Comrade Chu, I really have to thank you. Without you, I probably wouldn't be alive today!" Suddenly, the soldier who hadn't spoken at the back stood up and approached. "Hmm?" Chu An looked at him, puzzled.

"Haha, I was from the First Regiment of the First Division. We were really out of food back then. I hadn't eaten for almost two days."

No one had expected any supplies to be delivered, but it was your C team that broke through the difficulties and brought us supplies.

Moreover, I know that Comrade Chu deserves great credit for the successful delivery of the supplies.

"The carpet bombing tactic—in our post-battle review, even the division commander said it was a brilliant idea!"

"Hehe~ this."

Chu An was a little embarrassed by his praise.

But Chu An really didn't expect to run into a comrade from the First Division, First Regiment here.

"Seriously, I didn't expect to run into you here. Thank you so much. And later, when we were fighting on Hill 31 and 2, you guys held off the enemies coming from the T direction for us."

Overwhelmed with emotion, the officer gripped Chu An's hand tightly.

"This is all part of our duty on the battlefield. We are all comrades-in-arms, so there's no need to be so polite!" Chu An said with a smile.

"You're all from the Gaoping front, right?" At this moment, the officer who spoke first spoke up.

In a short time, although there were only four people in the car, the conversation gradually became lively, and the officers who came on later also immediately joined in the discussion.

After all, most of the officers in this batch of training came from the battlefield, and a large portion of them were promoted from the battlefield.

"Hey! Look, another one is coming!"

Suddenly, someone in the car spoke up, and Chu An followed his gaze to the registration desk.

The soldier at the registration desk stood up and saluted again.

"Who is this formidable person?"

"I don't have much of an impression. I'll ask him when he comes over!"

Inside the car, everyone was discussing the matter, and unsurprisingly, the four soldiers who had been registered soon boarded Chu An's car.

"Comrade, which unit are you from?"

Some people couldn't wait to ask him as soon as he got on the bus.

Soon, everyone learned about his identity and situation.

He was also a first-class meritorious soldier who made a first-class merit on the battlefield.

No wonder the soldier at the registration desk stood up and saluted.

According to everyone's speculation, this treatment is probably only given to those who have received a first-class merit or an honorary title.

After all, there were officers on the train who had been promoted to officer rank with second-class and third-class merit awards, but they hadn't received that treatment earlier.

In about half an hour, Chu An and his group's bus was nearly half full of soldiers.

However, by this point, there was no one left in line.

A train can't carry many people.

The driver, who had been silent until now, started the car. After a brief pause, the conversation resumed as the car started moving.

They talked about what they had seen and heard on the battlefield.

They discussed the various battles on their respective fronts.

Along the way, more than one person got carsick and was laughed at by everyone.

After about an hour and a half, the car drove across a plain and then came to the sight of an ancient town.

But Chu An and his group did not stop.

Continuing on, the car drove up the mountain and then down to a cluster of bungalows.

"Where is this?"

"Don't tell me this is an infantry school?"

Inside Chu An's car, the officers were all astonished by the scene outside.

Because this has absolutely nothing to do with school.

There is no school gate, no wall.

You can't even see the teaching building.

As far as the eye can see, there are flagpoles and red flags flying, but the houses are just a row of simple bungalows on the side of the mountain.

The surrounding area was a barren wasteland.

Chu An was completely baffled by this situation.
