Military career: Starting with a recruitment letter

Chapter 44: What's wrong with this?

"This scholar is quite interesting."

Cheng Dong watched the chasing figures in the distance. He pulled up his trouser legs and squatted on the ground, watching the fun with interest.

As Captain Cheng, who came from a reconnaissance company, what he values ​​most is physical fitness. In his view, physical fitness is the cornerstone of a soldier and the ticket to the battlefield.

If a soldier does not have good physical fitness, everything else is just empty talk.

Cheng Dong didn't really care about things like basic queues or even some tactical moves.

It's not his fault that he prefers physical fitness. Before the 7th Armored Division was downsized, this was the prevailing trend throughout the division.

What’s the point of practicing queues well?

What each unit wants is not ceremonial guards, but energetic and physically fit people.

As long as you have good physical fitness, you can adapt quickly to any unit.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo was chased by three veterans and no squad leader in the entire Second Company cared about the new recruits making trouble. The main reason was that they also admired Chen Mo, a troublemaker.

The interests are purely inherited from one generation to the next.

"If Xiucai is taught well, he can become a role model for the new recruits of our second company." Instructor Huo Linshan stared at the figure running for his life and commented with a smile.

The atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious, and they were chatting and laughing about the performance on the field.

But at this time, Chen Mo didn't feel relieved at all.

The three old scouts were serious about it. They chased him with their eyes wide open and their hair and beards standing on end, gritting their teeth and getting so angry that they almost fumed.

With this situation, let alone the new recruits, it would be hard to find a few soldiers in the entire army who dare to say that they are sure to win.

While Chen Mo was running with his arms swung wide, he took the time to look back at the veteran who was getting closer and closer to him because he was running too fast.

In addition, he was severely exhausted, and his heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest.

Running like this is not a solution. He will be caught sooner or later. Chen Mo weighed his own situation in his heart and he didn't care about the cheers around him.

Glancing at the fat instructor in the distance, Chen Mo's eyes lit up and he gritted his teeth to speed up again.

That guy ran with his legs almost swung round, and he just happened to escape before the three veterans behind him, who were heading in different directions, could intercept him.

Rushed to the front of Huolin Mountain.

“Hello, instructor!!”

Chen Mo stopped, stood at attention and saluted. Because he ran so fast, his chest was booming like thunder.

The platoon leader who caught up with them from behind was so angry that he almost jumped up and down. It was so embarrassing, so damn embarrassing.

Three veteran scouts were chasing a new recruit, but they couldn't catch him. If they were a little shameless, they would not have the face to lead new recruits in the future.

"Hehe, you are quite smart, young comrade." Huo Linshan returned the greeting, looked Chen Mo up and down with a smile on his face.

"Get lost, you idiot! You got fooled by a rookie, and you still have the nerve to stand here?"

Cheng Dong was not in a good mood. He waved his hands with a fierce face and cursed at the three veterans behind him.

The platoon leader was so frustrated that he glared at Chen Mo fiercely, then turned around and yelled, "Squads one, two, and three, are you all just fucking having kids?"

"Everyone, get on the track! If anyone lags behind before the dinner whistle blows, I'll skin you alive. What are you doing standing there, squad leader?"

"Lead the team and run. I'll see who gets left behind."

After cursing, the platoon leader turned his head and glanced at Chen Mo angrily, then straightened his hat and strode away.

Well, I did some exercises properly, but the veteran remembered me for no apparent reason.

Chen Mo felt quite innocent.

After the three veterans left, Cheng Dong stood up and circled around Chen Mo twice, his tone somewhat sour: "You kid, just remember to say hello to the instructor, don't you see me, the company commander?"

Seeing Cheng Dong raise his eyebrows, Chen Mo hurriedly straightened his uniform and grinned, "How could that be, Captain?"

Then he straightened his body and saluted, saying in a clear voice, "Hello, Captain."

"Yeah, you have quite a good eye." Cheng Dong nodded with his hands behind his back, and looked at Chen Mo like an old rich man: "I see you can run quite well, can you do push-ups?"

As soon as Captain Cheng finished speaking, Chen Mo quickly leaned forward on the ground, ready to do push-ups: "Captain, how many do you want to do?"

Chen Mo's action stunned Cheng Dong and Huo Linshan.

To be honest, both of them have been in the army for quite a few years. They have seen all kinds of recruits.

There are troublemakers every year, and lazy people are even more common. It goes without saying that those who are well-behaved are the majority.

Captain Cheng asked himself, he had ways to deal with all the above types of people, without exception.

But a new recruit like Chen Mo, who is both a troublemaker and knows the rules, is like a hedgehog, which makes him a little at a loss as to where to start.

"Okay, okay."

Seeing Chen Mo so straightforward, Cheng Dong didn't want to argue anymore. He pulled Chen Mo up and said, "Old Cannon, you're right."

"You're a worried kid. You're willing to risk your life during training. Tell me, why do you want to join the army?"

"Don't mention writing letters to me. You wrote letters to help you join the army. Just tell me why you have to join the army."

In order to realize my value, in order to make up for my regrets, in order to stand out. When Chen Mo heard this question, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

But he couldn't say these.

"Why, it's hard to answer?"

Cheng Dong frowned. As the company commander, he had to keep track of the situation of every new recruit. Chen Mo's enlistment was somewhat legendary, but since the political commissar had handed him over to him.

When the new recruit joins his reconnaissance company, Cheng Dong must find out what Chen Mo is thinking.

After all, Chen Mo's performance is very different from that of other soldiers. This tenacity and stubbornness are not expressed in the open, but are manifested in him all the time.

"Report, it's not difficult to answer."

"Then say it."

"Company Commander." Chen Mo looked up at Cheng Dong and said seriously, "When I watch TV, I see soldiers appearing on the screen, especially during this year's flood relief efforts. I always hope I can be one of them."

"Actually, there's no reason to join the army. I understand the principle that faith in one's heart gives strength under one's feet. As a man, one must live for himself at least once."

“If I want something I’ve never had before, I have to do something I’ve never done before.”

"Captain, if you insist on asking me why I joined the army, my reason is that I saw the recruitment propaganda in my hometown and thought we were short of people here, so I came here."

"Captain, instead of asking me why I joined the army, you should ask why the army keeps recruiting soldiers. This is why I joined the army."

Chen Mo's words were half true and half false. Of course, the false part was only in the way of expression, not in the true feelings.

Besides, can a reconnaissance company commander and an instructor control our Secretary Chen with just words?

But it doesn't matter if he says this.

Cheng Dong and Huo Linshan were both frightened.

The reason why Chen Mo was called over was because Lao Pao was reporting the situation to the company.

By the way, he mentioned that Chen Mo was too worried.

Fearing that something might happen to him, Cheng Dong deliberately stared at Chen Mo and found that this kid was still running alone.

Cheng Dongcai arranged for someone to bring him over to ask about the situation.

But after the conversation just now, they were so confused that they couldn't even say a word.

Even the instructor known for his iron tongue gave up and was defeated.

What's wrong with this scholar?
What a bullshit problem! His awareness is higher than mine, the company commander.

Cheng Dong could be heard putting his hands on his hips and scratching his head.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
