Chapter 18: Where is the promised military spirit?
Ha ha!
Sun Xin's angry words unsurprisingly caused a burst of laughter.
Jiang Danian's head drooped even lower. Sun Xin shook his head in despair, gave up the idea of correcting him, and waved his hand to let him return to the queue.
This guy has too little . He has been training for more than a month, but he can't even tell the difference between the simplest left and right turns. He has been encouraged, expected, and angry, but in the end, it all turned into disappointment. If Xu Yan hadn't just joined today, he wouldn't even be interested in arguing with him. This guy is hopeless. The company already knows about it and is studying how to deal with him. He should be transferred from the recruit company soon.
As Jiang Danian joined the team, the training continued. Sun Xin deliberately avoided looking at Jiang Danian, so as to avoid being bothered. He focused more on Xu Yan. Seeing that his movements were crisp and standard, not inferior to those of the veterans at all, he finally felt better.
After training for a while, seeing that other classes had stopped, Sun Xin said "take a five-minute break". A group of teenagers cheered and some sat or lay on the ground exhausted. In a flash, Jiang Danian was the only one left on the entire playground. He stood alone and kept turning in the same place. His lonely figure seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world.
Seeing many people looking here, Sun Xin said with a dark face, "Sit down and rest!"
Jiang Danian shuddered and sat down hurriedly, but even after sitting down, he kept his hands clenched tightly and kept muttering to himself.
He made up for his lack of talent with hard work. He was like a tireless machine that never let go of any opportunity to practice. Even when others had taken a break, he was still trying to figure out left and right. It was just like God was playing a big joke on him. Even though he was ten times more hardworking than others, he still couldn't tell the difference between the simplest and most basic left and right in the eyes of others.
"Sanjin, your class still can't tell left from right? Do you want me to help you train them?" The monitor of Class 2 shouted from afar.
Sun Xin's face darkened, and he shouted at the second squad leader rudely, "Just take care of your own soldiers. You don't need to worry about my soldiers. If you are bored, I don't mind practicing with you."
The second squad leader seemed to know how powerful Sun Xin was, so he shrank his neck and stopped talking.
"Squad leader, the second squad leader is afraid of you." Seeing this, Luo Yifei smiled and flattered him , and Yuan Guoqing and others also joined in the fun.
Sun Xin was teased before and was already very angry. Seeing Luo Yifei and the others still laughing shamelessly, he immediately became furious and shouted, "What are you laughing at? Is it funny? You are being pointed at and scolded, and you still have the nerve to laugh? Don't rest, get up and keep practicing!"
The flattery hit the horse's butt, Luo Yifei and others were dumbfounded, and stood up unwillingly one by one. Only Xu Yan sat there without moving. Yuan Guoqing called out to him in a low voice, but Xu Yan turned a deaf ear to it.
"Everyone has stood up, but you are still sitting here. Do you think you are too shameless?" Sun Xin glared at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Squad Leader, didn't you say we should take a five-minute break? It's not time yet."
"Break canceled!"
"Why?"
"Because you didn't practice your formation well, this is your punishment."
Sun Xin gave an explanation, but Xu Yan was obviously not satisfied with it. He shouted unconvincedly: "It's not my fault that the team training was not good. Why should I be punished?"
"You're not convinced, are you?" Sun Xin snorted coldly, and spoke word by word, "Because you are comrades-in-arms, an inseparable whole, and partners who can take bullets for each other at the critical moment of life and death. If you are not willing to be punished together, how can we expect you to take bullets for your comrades-in-arms when you go to the battlefield in the future?"
Sun Xin's impassioned words did not arouse Xu Yan's passion, nor did they bring him shame and bowing his head. Instead, he curled his lips in disdain and muttered, "I'm not going to the battlefield again."
Yes, he had never thought about going to the battlefield, and he had never even thought about completing his two years of compulsory military service. The reason he joined the army was just for one purpose, which was to become a soldier within three months and then escape back to pursue the school belle. As for other things, sorry, he had never thought about it at all.
First, Jiang Danian didn't know the left from the right, then he was teased by the second squad leader, and now he was contradicted by Xu Yan. Sun Xin's anger soared, staring at Xu Yan and said coldly: "I don't care what you did before, but when you come to the army, you must follow the rules of the army. If one person makes a mistake, the whole group will be punished. If you feel that you are implicated, you can leave now. My class does not welcome people who do not unite with their comrades and disobey orders ."
"Xu Yan, get up quickly!" Hearing Sun Xin's serious words, Luo Yifei hurriedly winked at Xu Yan, telling him not to confront the squad leader head-on, as it would do no good.
But he was obviously overthinking it. Xu Yan was indeed a little unconvinced at first, but when he saw Sun Xin getting angry and even saying that he was leaving, how could he continue to resist? He had finally joined the army and had not yet had time to become a formal soldier, let alone catch up with the school beauty and win her heart. If he fell out with Sun Xin because of such a small matter and was kicked out of the army, then all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Dan Jianxu Yan's eyes rolled, and he slowly stood up from the ground. Facing Sun Xin's angry eyes, he shook his head slightly and said, "Look, it's not a big deal. Is it necessary to get so angry? I just want to ask why you punished me. You can just tell me the reason. I will get up naturally after I figured it out. I didn't say I don't want to be punished. You broke the rules and left. How scary. My heart is still beating wildly. You are so bad!"
Sun Xin: “…”
Comrades: “…”
A group of people were dumbfounded, their hair disheveled in the wind, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Things turned so fast that some of them couldn't wrap their heads around it. Looking at Xu Yan's previous posture, wasn't he going to fight to the bitter end? Even if he didn't fight to the bitter end, he should at least resist in a symbolic way and then obey under the pressure of the squad leader. That's how things should be, right? But what was the result?
No, there was no resistance, no opposition, no reluctance, nothing. When everyone was worried about him, he just said this lightly and led the things in another direction.
I just asked why I was punished, I didn't say I didn't want to be punished!
Listen to what you are saying. Where is the head-on confrontation? Where is the military spirit?
While everyone was dumbfounded, Xu Yan had already returned to the team quickly. Seeing everyone dumbfounded, he righteously shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and practice. Are you waiting for others to laugh at you?"
Sun Xin: “…”
Comrades: “…”
Everyone was petrified once again.
