War Military: From 1978

Chapter 280: Official Enrollment!

The truck swayed for about an hour, and as the surrounding hills rose and fell, various training grounds and buildings came into view.

Finally, as the vehicle made a turn, the new students sitting in the truck bed saw the school gate ahead.

"Wow, look, a school!"

"Impressive! Now that's more like it!"

"What a tall building, and it's so big!"

Inside the car, Chu An also saw the office building directly opposite the school gate.

This is definitely a rare sight among high-rise buildings these days.

The exterior is entirely white, with tall buildings and wide doors, its strong modern style somewhat out of place with its surroundings and even this era.

"You are the athletes of this era, you are the generals of the future."

The school gate was tall and faced west, and the broadcast voices were passionate and characteristic of that era.

Inside the car, Chu An saw that many people around him had flushed faces from excitement.

What a wonderful welcome message!

A player of our time, a general of the future.

After a week of farm work, it's hard to maintain a relaxed mindset that was already forced off.

after all
For any soldier, being promoted to general twice would be exciting, let alone for all of them who are meritorious and young officers in the military, and who were recommended to study here.

Yes, there are now more vehicles on the road than just the ones that picked up Chu An and the others.

I don't know where the soldiers in the other vehicles were originally.

But now, the school seems to have timed it perfectly, so after the cars arrive near the school, they gather and form a long line before slowly driving into the school gate amidst the announcement.

As you can see, each vehicle is now filled with veterans in military uniforms.

Those local students who entered university through the national college entrance examination this year have not yet come over.

Not only local college entrance exam takers, but also those who entered the military through military exams are still staying in various training grounds.

Their educational systems are different, and their circumstances are also different.

People like Chu An, who have already been promoted or are on the verge of promotion due to meritorious service, are all veterans of the battlefield.

"Quickly, separate everyone according to their majors!"

The vehicle stopped, and the squadron officers and others who were sitting in the front passenger seat got out and shouted.

Chu An and the others also looked ahead.

In one corner of the huge playground, several signs with the names of the majors stand upright.

Chu An and some other combined arms command specialists who got out of the car ran towards the sign with their major names on it.

"It's finally official!"

"Yeah, there's nothing in front of us, and the classes aren't even separated. It's really scary!"

Wow, look, female soldiers!

Chu An's attention was also drawn to the students gathered at the Communications and Command Department not far away.

There was no other reason than that, everywhere else was occupied by men, but there was a group of female soldiers there.

Moreover, there were quite a few of them, nearly a hundred teams, most of whom were female soldiers.

But he only glanced at it once, and soon Chu An walked to his assigned spot.

There were many unfamiliar faces.

It also has the largest number of people among all professional teams, with nearly three hundred people.

The remaining teams didn't have as many people, mostly around a hundred.

Chu An glanced at the list and saw that there were now seven major professional categories, and the total number of students should not exceed nine hundred.

In those days, specializations were very general, unlike later on when there were various subdivisions such as infantry platoon command and infantry reconnaissance command.

The division of majors is not as detailed now.

Moreover, the professional name is indeed very high-class.

Like Chu An and his team's combined command.

That's when the word "synthesis" came into being.

But in reality, there's no such thing as combined arms operations in the military these days.

The nation is still pursuing the Soviet revisionist steel torrent, where firepower is considered righteous.

When in doubt, firepower is the best weapon; the larger the caliber of the cannon, the better.

synthesis?

This thing was actually something Chu An only started building a few years before his rebirth.

In other words, this concept predates the actual military practice by about thirty years.

But it's really just a general name.

The military academy, fresh from a major war, was also expanding its enrollment for the first time, and with so many meritorious officers and cadets receiving further training, a slightly rougher start was inevitable. Perhaps things would improve next year or the year after, but that was irrelevant to Chu An at the moment.

"Kong Yunmin!"

"To!"

"Gu Wenping"

"To!"

After the trainees were separated by major, each team had an officer at the front of the group calling out names from a list.

"The above trainees, First Squad!"

"These trainees are now in the Second Squad!"

After the detailed division into districts and teams, Chu An was among the first to be named and directly assigned to the first district team of the combined command.

The squad leader was an officer who looked to be around thirty years old; it wasn't Jiao Yihua from before.

Soon, the teams were divided into sections and groups and then disbanded.

Chu An and his team formed a combined command structure, consisting of one large battalion, three companies, and nine platoons.

Everyone was led directly to a red-brick dormitory building on the south side of the playground.

It has to be said that this playground is really huge.

It was at least the size of five or six football fields, and the gathering point for Chu An and his group only occupied a corner of the playground.

Watching the teams separate and then be led to different dormitories on both sides of the playground, Chu An silently memorized the majors associated with their respective buildings.

This was an unconscious action by a veteran who came from a reconnaissance background.

Soon, Chu An and his group arrived at the building.

After being separated into different teams again, they were led directly to different floors of the dormitory building.

These dormitory buildings are exceptionally long, and there are a lot of dorm rooms inside. Once you go upstairs, there are two rows of twenty or thirty dorm rooms on each floor.

"Student Chu An!"

"To!"

Chu An and his team were taken directly to the innermost toilet on the left side of the second floor.

As the squad leader called roll, Chu An instinctively responded loudly.

"Student Huang Jianping!"

"To!"

"Student Wang Xiaoliu!"

"To!"

"The three of you will live in dormitory number one, belonging to squad one of our platoon one. The squad leader will be Chu An!" The platoon leader called out the names on the list.

"Yes!"

Chu An responded again.

Chu An was not surprised at all about being appointed as the class monitor.

Just like at the temporary training ground before, he was also the temporary class leader.

There was no way around it; his original position and administrative rank were high.

In fact, Chu An currently holds the highest administrative rank among all students in the school.

Generally speaking, for someone at Chu An's level, going to a military academy is purely for further study.

And they're usually company or battalion-level officers together.

But now, Chu An is mixed in with a group of platoon leaders, deputy company commanders, and even trainees who haven't been promoted to officers yet.

It's frustrating, but it's because Chu An was promoted too quickly. He had no prior military academy training experience, so this was his first time taking such an advanced course and he had to start from the basics.

So even though he has a high administrative rank, he has no choice but to do this now.

However, because of this, any appointments within the cadet team, such as the current squad leader, will definitely include Chu An's name.

Soon, the squad leader quickly assigned shifts and dormitories.

There are nine students in Class 1 of Chu'an, who are divided into three dormitories.

Yes, you heard right, after arriving at school, they stayed in triple rooms.

The difference between this and the previous training camp where twelve people were crammed into a single-story house is simply incomparable.

Moreover, upon entering the dormitory, the layout of the desk below and the bed above made Chu An feel as if he had returned to a university dormitory twenty or thirty years later.

The environment is the best place Chu An has lived in since joining the army.

It's a bit of a shame that there's no private bathroom in the dormitory.

But it's already quite surprising that three people are sharing a space of just over ten square meters.
