Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Watching Yuan Lang's retreating figure carrying the bucket of water, Zhang Anbang smiled. "My company commander, my dear chief of staff, you can't blame me for this."

Zhang Anbang had already figured out a way to deal with the situation. He was sure he would give Yuan Lang a surprise. He immediately started rummaging through his cabinets, knowing he would definitely have to go to Uncle Wang's place.

Moreover, we should learn from Uncle Tie that we shouldn't go empty-handed. A few days ago, when he was on break, he went to check on the progress of the renovation of his house and bought two boxes of Xinong beef, which he brought to Uncle Wang.

Soon, Yuan Lang returned carrying the bucket of water, casually placing it under the desk. Looking at the beef Zhang Anbang had unearthed, he smiled and said, "Oh, so you know not to go empty-handed. Not bad, not bad."

Looking at the water buckets that had already been placed, Zhang Anbang was a little flattered. "Squad leader, you've really gone all out with your service. You could say you've provided a one-stop service. I have to agree to your request."

After saying that, Zhang Anbang put the gift box he had found into the small cabinet under his desk.

"That's good. Don't mess with me, okay? If you do that, I'll make you the water to wash your feet tomorrow," Yuan Lang nodded in satisfaction and made a promise for tomorrow.

"Okay, Captain, don't worry, I'll make sure it's all taken care of properly," Zhang Anbang said, pointing to the bucket of water under his desk. "I need 42 degrees Celsius water for tomorrow; that's the perfect temperature for soaking my feet."

Fill the water to about four-sevenths full, so that you can soak the Sanyinjiao and Zusanli acupoints for maximum comfort.

"Okay, okay, you little rascal, I agree," Yuan Lang nodded in confirmation without any hesitation.

The reason why Qi Huan used a bucket to soak his feet is because it's an old tradition of Old A.

First of all, the combat personnel of the Old A unit are all officers, and two people live in one dormitory. The dormitory space is comparable to that of a regular company dormitory, with enough space to put things.

Fill the bucket a little more than half full. When soaking your feet, the water should just reach about halfway up your calves, allowing you to soak both Sanyinjiao and Zusanli acupoints.

After training, my legs feel sore and swollen, and soaking them here is the best way to relieve fatigue.

After soaking his feet in Yuan Lang's bucket once, Zhang Anbang fell in love with the feeling and never looked back on the path of soaking his feet in the bucket.

For this purpose, he even went to the military service center in the military region and bought a bright red bucket to use.

……

On April 19th, at 10:00 AM, the transfer orders for Wu Liuyi, Xu Sanduo, and Cheng Cai were delivered to the 702nd Regiment and the B Regiment.

In the headquarters building of the 702nd Regiment, in the regimental commander's office, Wang Qingrui looked at the transfer order in his hand and sighed helplessly, "Sigh, there's really no way to hide good soldiers, they're like pearls that shine in the night, you can't hide them!"

However, that place on the railway where they chop off heads is actually a good thing, it's the Seventh Company, the Seventh Company...

If all else fails, we can temporarily transfer Shi Jin back to lead the company for a while. The spirit of the Seventh Company cannot be lost; it must be passed on.

Besides, if the young soldiers have aspirations, we can't stop them.

Just as Wang Qingrui finished his reflections, Li Hai, the commander of Regiment B, called.

There was no other way. When the Steel Seventh Company was reorganized and its personnel were reassigned, he had to say a lot of nice things to Lao Wang to get Wu Liuyi assigned to his B Regiment.

As it turns out, only half a year has passed, and before we've even had a chance to get to know each other, they're already flying away.

He recalled that some time ago, Hua Zinan, the company commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Company, reported to him that Wu Liuyi wanted to sign up for the selection of a unit called "Old A".

At the time, he was quite optimistic, thinking that the mysterious unit, whose origins were unknown, was something he had never heard of before, and that even if Wu Liuyi participated, he might not be selected.

As it turned out, the slap in the face came too quickly.

Li Hai slammed the transfer order on the table, picked up the phone, and dialed. "Hey, Lao Wang, what happened? Back when your Steel Seventh Company was reassigned, I pleaded with you endlessly to get Wu Liuyi assigned to my unit. And now, only six months later, he's gone. What happened?"

Li Hai knew that Lao Wang was very powerful in the C Group Army. The 702nd Regiment had even conducted exercises against this unit called Lao A, and this selection was being carried out at the 702nd Regiment's field exercise field.

So, Old Wang must know something, and definitely more than him.

Hearing B Group Leader Li Hai's full of complaints, Wang Qingrui chuckled. "Hey Li, why are you taking your anger out on me? It's not like you're the only one who's lost men. You're the only one who's lost one, but I've lost two! What do you want me to do? I have no idea!"

Hearing Lao Wang's words, Li Hai's mood inexplicably improved a lot.

That's just how people are; when they see someone worse off than themselves, they subconsciously feel a little better.

What's this called?

I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he's driving a Land Rover.

"Old Wang, what kind of unit is that over there? It's so mysterious. They managed to pick out three of our T Division's best soldiers all at once," Li Hai asked tentatively.

Wang Qingrui chuckled lightly, "Old Li, I can't say this, you know what I mean. Besides, Wu Liuyi won't stay with you for long anyway, he'll be going to military school in half a year at most, you can't keep him anyway."

Soldiers have aspirations and ambitions, and we as officers cannot stop them.

Also, one of my juniors, Zhang Anbang, should be picking someone up from your place. He's a pretty good young man. Just give him a token of appreciation, that'll be enough, give me some face.

Li Hai laughed too. He was just venting to Lao Wang. How could he stop a soldier with ambition? "Okay, I know. Since you said he's a pretty good junior, he must be very capable."

"I'll take a good look at this little guy you mentioned then and see how he is."

"Don't worry about that, I definitely won't let you down," Wang Qingrui said, sounding quite pleased with Zhang Anbang. Suddenly, he thought of the girl he had introduced to Zhang Anbang. He wondered how things were going with the young man. He was usually incredibly clever in other matters, but he couldn't understand why he was so clueless when it came to finding a partner.

Just like that guy from the railway said, he's just like Lao Zhang in every way, but in this one aspect, he's far behind.

……

Nothing happened that night, and the appointed day for picking them up arrived in the blink of an eye. On the morning of April 20th, Zhang Anbang and Yuan Lang had breakfast together and boarded a helicopter that was going the same way, heading directly to the garrison military region.

Yuan Lang looked at Zhang Anbang, who was carrying two boxes of Xinong beef, and thought to himself that Commander Wang should be less likely to get angry now.

As the helicopter landed, a captain from the garrison command, who had been arranged in advance to bring the car, strode up to Yuan Lang, who had just disembarked.

The captain gave a standard salute and then said, "Good day, sir. These are your car keys."

Yuan Lang returned the greeting, took the car keys, and casually handed them to Zhang Anbang.

Yuan Lang was still saying goodbye to the captain when Zhang Anbang got into the car, started the engine, shifted gears, and the car suddenly started moving. Only one clear sentence floated out of the car window: "Squadron Leader, I'm going to B Regiment first."
