Chapter 17: Commendation from the Regiment Headquarters, Division of Troops into Companies
The issue of dividing the company also involves an important node.
That is the final assessment of the recruit company.
This assessment is to test the progress of the recruits in the three months of military training.
The enthusiastic new recruits are ready to go. The veterans have taught them about the life in the old companies and they are looking forward to it. They feel that life will be more colorful in the old companies.
At the same time, I also hope to be assigned to a company of my choice.
The Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, the spearhead company of the Special Eighth Regiment, is a place that most recruits yearn for.
Similarly, where there are positive people, there are also those who hold back. There are also recruits who just want to eat and wait for death and are willing to go to places where the farm logistics are relatively leisurely.
The final assessment also became Jiang Shui’s personal performance show.
The members of Class 1 were not surprised.
The students in other classes were dumbfounded.
They had only heard from their squad leader of new recruits how powerful Jiang Shui was in the first squad. It was not until this final assessment, when he appeared in front of everyone, that they truly understood that when a person is too strong, it can really make people despair.
Below is a comparison of Jiang Shui's individual subject scores and the standard of excellence:
Pull-ups on the horizontal bar: 200, with 12 excellent results (because other recruits still had to take tests, Jiang Shui didn't continue and gave up his position on the horizontal bar);
Parallel bars curl: 200, with 12 excellent results (same reason as above);
Push-ups (two minutes): 286, with 50 excellent results (two minutes is the fastest speed in Jiang Shui);
3 km: 8 minutes 03 seconds, the best result is 12 points;
Grenade throw: 87 meters, excellent result 50 meters:
…
All the above subjects involved broke the previous records of the Special Eighth Regiment, including those of the old company.
When all of Jiang Shui's achievements came out, the head of the Special Eighth Regiment even held an enlarged meeting of the regiment's party committee for this purpose.
The content of the meeting was to apply to the superiors for Jiang Shui to be awarded the third-class merit.
In the end, it was not approved. Although Jiang Shui's performance in the recruit company was very good, don't forget that this was his second time joining the army. It was also for this reason that his superiors rejected it.
Finally, the Special Eighth Regiment could only grant commendations and rewards to Jiang Shui within its authority.
When the final assessment began, Zhuang Yan naturally participated, and his overall score ranked second in the recruit company.
…
The results have been determined, and naturally some are happy while others are disappointed.
But no matter what, the recruits finally ended their life in the recruit company and began their last task, which was to be assigned to other companies.
"River water!"
"arrive!"
"Scout Company!"
"Liu Tong!"
"arrive!"
"First Battalion, Second Company!"
"Cai Xiaoming!"
"arrive!"
"First Battalion, Third Company!"
"Zhou Renzong!"
"arrive!"
"First Battalion, First Company!"
"Chen Xiwa..."
The company commander of the recruit company was carrying out the final division of the troops, arranging the destinations of the recruits one by one.
Jiang Shui, for sure, went to the reconnaissance company.
Chen Xiwa, more like a compromise gang of Miao Lian, picked him.
Zhuang Yan was not assigned a place.
"Report!"
When the assignment list was read out and his name was not heard, Zhuang Yan felt disappointed, but he still had some hope.
"Tell me!" The company commander of the recruit company looked at Zhuang Yan.
"Why didn't you call out my name?" Zhuang Yan asked absentmindedly. Is he just going to leave like that?
"It's not written there, and I don't know!" The company commander of the recruit company gave the official answer. He naturally understood the reason, but it was not appropriate to say it out loud.
"Disband!"
"Deputy class leader, deputy class leader~~~"
Chen Xiwa happily caught up with Jiang Shui who was walking towards the dormitory.
"What's going on? Xiwa!" Jiang Shui turned around and asked with a smile.
"Deputy squad leader, from now on we will still be in the same company, what a fate!" Chen Xiwa said with a smile.
"Yeah, work hard!" Jiang Shui said as he packed his luggage.
"I will definitely work hard. I will become a scout in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company~" There were stars in Chen Xiwa's eyes.
"Awesome, Xiwa, you're already a scout~"
The other recruits in the class gathered around Chen Xiwa. As for Jiang Shui, well, maybe it was because Jiang Shui's aura was too strong, that when they faced Jiang Shui, they would inexplicably be very serious.
"I didn't think I could join the reconnaissance company~"
So, at this moment, Chen Xiwa became the hottest girl in the class.
In this lively moment.
Zhuang Yan walked into the dormitory alone. Looking at Chen Xiwa, who was assigned to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company and surrounded by everyone, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
He also wanted to be happy with his comrades, but "reality" told him that he would soon be kicked out of the army.
"Hey, Zhuang!"
Chen Xiwa carefully noticed that something was wrong with Zhuang Yan, and quickly stopped everyone, walked up to Zhuang Yan, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
" It's okay !" Zhuang Yan said calmly, threw his uniform and hat on Chen Xiwa's bed and said, "This is for you, take it!"
"Our sizes are similar, you can keep it and wear it!"
Chen Xiwa couldn't laugh anymore. She looked at her clothes in confusion, then looked at Zhuang Yan and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"It seems that there is no chance for me to join the company. Instead of being chased away by others, I'd rather go by myself!" Zhuang Yan said in a nonchalant manner.
Chen Xiwa noticed that something was wrong with Zhuang Yan and tried to comfort him, "Zhuang, please don't worry, okay? You are, yes, you are the first college student to join our regiment, right?"
"You are the poster child for our group, aren't you?"
"They definitely want you, don't worry!"
Zhuang Yan shook his head: "You're such a jerk. If you don't want me, just tell me. I won't stand that. It just so happens that I don't want to be a soldier!"
"You've been in solitary confinement for such a long time, but you haven't looked into the reasons within yourself?" Jiang Shui's voice came from the side.
"What reason do I have? It was all forced by them!" Facing the river water, Zhuang Yan retorted stiffly and in a low voice.
"Why should I force you?" Jiang Shui packed his backpack and put it on the bed. After packing everything, he waited for Miao Lian to come and pick him up.
"You just don't like me!" Zhuang Yan said as a matter of course.
"Then why do I dislike you?" Jiang Shui pressed on.
"I, how would I know!" Zhuang Yan said somewhat guiltily.
At this time, Miao Lian walked to the door.
"stand up!"
Chen Xiwa, who was standing nearby, saw Miao Lian and immediately shouted loudly.
Jiang Shui and others quickly stood at attention.
Only Zhuang Yan, still sitting on the bed without caring, waited for the final "sentence".
As soon as Miao Lian entered the room, he saw Zhuang Yan still sitting there, and he stepped forward and scolded him, "Soldier, why don't you stand up?"
Zhuang Yan remained unmoved. Chen Xiwa quickly reached out to grab Zhuang Yan, pulled him up, and stood in front of Miao Lian.
