Special Years

Zhang Yan was the last recruit in the second row to cross the finish line.

The battalion staff officer held a stopwatch and shouted, "23 minutes and 48 seconds!"

After more than half an hour, the recruits from the six platoons of the recruit battalion all arrived at the finish line.

Dedeham had been standing beside a few officers in the battalion headquarters, tiptoeing, staring at other people's stopwatches, noting the results of other platoons.

When the last platoon to leave arrived, Staff Officer Xu, who was in charge of supervising the assessment, announced: "Nine companies and one platoon are 24 minutes and 05 seconds! The best result is eight companies and second platoons, 23 minutes and 48 seconds!"

In other words, the second row scored three points in this five-kilometer cross-country competition.

The champion is already in the bag.

Adai's tense face finally relaxed, and a flower-like smile bloomed on his face.

Walking to the front of his own team, this battalion, no, is the most powerful platoon-level cadre in the whole regiment, giving his soldiers a thumbs up proudly.

"We, number one!"

"Wow! First!"

"We are number one!"

The whole platoon of recruits jumped up and down with joy! Everyone knows what it means to be exempt from night physical training, and everyone knows what it means to be granted a day off.

The most precious thing for recruits is rest time. There is nothing more worthy of celebration than a day off.

In the scene of thunderous cheers, only Zhang Yan remained silent and said nothing.

His clothes were almost soaked, and his face was blue.

"Platoon leader, I want to go to the toilet," he said.

Just as Daedham was about to speak, he heard the battalion commander suddenly give an order to assemble: "All the top three platoons should gather at the playground! Staff Officer Xu, go check the equipment of each platoon!"

The tall, black and tall Staff Officer Xu held a notebook in his hand and saluted, "Yes!"

"Eight 1st row, 8th row 2nd row, 9th row 2nd row! All of them are available! Gather at the big playground now! Check out the equipment!"

Dai Dehan said to Zhang Yan, "Let's gather first, check out soon, and then go."

Zhang Yan's face became even greener.

After gathering on the large playground, all the recruits lined up one meter away from the front and back according to the password, waiting for the personnel on duty to check the equipment.

Dai Dehan was immersed in the joy of victory, and the three squad leaders also showed their faces, triumphant; the recruits were excited when they thought of the special vacation, and couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.

Staff Officer Xu led the four veterans to the front of the team.

"Listen to the password!"

He looked around for a while, and said loudly: "Put the gun! Take off the backpack! Put all the other equipment on the left side in front of the toes!"

Jingle bells began to rattle in the line.

Zhuang Yan put the gun in front of the outside of his right foot, and took advantage of the opportunity to bend over to remove the gear and complained to the serious person next to him: "It's raining, why are you so long-winded..."

Seriously whispered: "The inspection, it's normal, I'm afraid people will cheat..."

Zhuang Yan was overjoyed now. Like Xu Xingguo, he ran out of the row and tied for first place.

Now, he doesn't want anything to affect his mood.

The veterans began to check the recruits' guns, magazines, grenades, gas masks, satchels and water bottles one by one, very carefully, including unscrewing the lid of the water bottle to see if it was full of water.

A veteran stopped in front of Zhang Yan and began to bend over to carefully examine every piece of equipment on the ground.

Suddenly, the moment he stretched out his hand to pick up the kettle, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Putting down the kettle, he returned to Staff Officer Xu and whispered something in his ear.

The solemn brows in the team frowned.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm still waiting to go back to take a shower and have a good night's sleep! I can go out to play in the city tomorrow..."

As he spoke, he nudged his elbow seriously.

"Old Yan, when you get to the city tomorrow, I'll treat you to a feast! Eat whatever you want!"

Serious as if he hadn't heard the solemn proposal, his face was solemn, his oval face was as expressionless as a stone, and his tone became nervous: "Something happened..."

Zhuang Yan was puzzled: "What happened?"

Seriously wiped the rain off his face, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'll find out later."

"All the recruits are here!" After listening to the veteran's whisper, Staff Officer Xu's face darkened, "Get the water bottle!"

Zhuang Yan, like everyone else, picked up his water bottle in confusion.

"Open the water cover!"

Everyone followed the order and unscrewed the lid of the Type 87 military water bottle.

Dedham, who was standing in the corner of the playground, saw the situation in his eyes, and his face changed suddenly.

"fall!"

Staff Officer Xu gave the order loudly.

Everyone immediately turned the kettle over.

Dozens of water columns poured out of the kettle.

The cold boiled water slammed into the ground from the kettle.

Dedeham's face turned completely black.

In Zhang Yan's water bottle, just like a prostate patient, only a few drops of water slipped down...

Staff Officer Xu turned around, ran to the battalion commander, stood at attention, and saluted: "Report to the battalion commander, the inspection is over, a recruit in the second platoon of the eighth company has no water in the water bottle and only two grenades. The other platoons did not find any problems, please instruct."

The battalion commander's expression sank: "Enlisted!"

Afterwards, he walked to the front of the team and turned to the direction of a row: "Deadham! What's going on?"

Deadham lowered his head and said nothing.

Before, Zhang Yan had been standing behind Zhuang Yan.

Since he couldn't turn around in the queue, he had no idea what was going on.

But Seriously obviously guessed right.

problem occurs.

And something big happened!

There is no water in the kettle...

Plus two grenades...

This…

Isn't that the same as cheating? !

He still couldn't help it, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com turned his head and looked in Zhang Yan's direction at the risk of violating his discipline.

However, it turned out that almost all the recruits in the platoon were doing the same thing.

Zhang Yan lowered her head and stood in the rain, unable to see his face.

Solemn but clear.

Zhang Yan is in big trouble this time.

The veterans began to whisper and whisper.

Battalion Commander Teng Wenji had a sullen face and was silent for a moment. He said unhappily, "Bring it back to each platoon. The results of one platoon are invalid. Go back and review it. Fraud is not a thing!"

When the battalion commander left with his people, the other platoons were immediately disbanded.

In the end, the entire playground went up, leaving only the second row of everyone still standing in the rain.

Dedeham walked slowly to the front of the team, and stamped his signature small square step again...

Everyone's heart beats with Dedeham's steps, and every step seems to be stepping on the heart of every recruit.

Deadham finally stopped.

The rain dripped down his camouflage cap on the red card student's epaulette on his shoulder.

After standing for a long time, he said in a low voice, "Zhang Yan! Go and pick up the lost grenade! That's equipment!"

He said to Yin Xiancong again, "Go, follow him to pick up the grenade. When will you pick it up, come here to report to me."

Zhang Yan walked out of the queue with his head drooping, and disappeared with Yin Xiancong on the five-kilometer cross-country road.

Still no one dared to move.

Dedham also seemed to be like a sculpture, just standing there.

I don't know if the rain in winter is too cold, or if there are other reasons, everyone's heart sank little by little, and finally it cooled down completely.
