Chapter 59
A few days after the rank award ceremony, the camp sent a car to pick up the new recruits from the Eighth Company to N Town.
There is only one company in N Town, that is the Eighth Company.
The Third Battalion is thirty kilometers away from the regiment headquarters, while the Eighth Company is thirty kilometers away from the Battalion headquarters.
The Eighth Company is an independent company.
The distribution of the big guys was finally implemented. Except for a few companies assigned to other companies, most of them followed the platoon leader back to the independent company in N Town.
Zhuangyan and Yanshou, Xu Xingguo, Zuo Xiaoheng, Huang Hai and others were assigned to the first rank, but Guo Xiangyang and Changsheng went to the third row.
Everyone packed up their things and squeezed into the car, and several military cards flew east along the highway.
The more you walk, the more desolate the surrounding scenery appears.
At first, you could see scattered buildings, but later there was nothing along the road. There were also wildernesses on both sides of the road.
"Squad leader, where are we going? Why are we getting more and more desolate as we go?" Zhuang Yan finally couldn't help asking.
Yin Xiancong said: "N Town, our company is stationed independently near N Town."
Zhuangyan said: "N Town? Where is it?"
Yin Xiancong said: "This is a town, the most remote town in this city!"
The car drove on the deserted highway for more than an hour, and finally passed a town less than three square kilometers. The leading car turned left and drove into a valley.
Ten minutes later, with a sharp brake sound, the entire convoy finally stopped.
"It's here! Get off the bus!"
"Don't be slow! Move quickly!"
"We're in our company! Come down and take a look!"
Under the urging of the squad leader, the recruits were driven out of the car like ducks sent to the vegetable market.
Zhuangyan jumped out of the car, and what caught his eye was an arch about four meters high.
The arch is made of steel pipes as thick as a wrist. In the middle of the door beam is an iron August 1st military emblem. The red on it is already dark red because of its age and is no longer bright.
Under the August 1st military emblem, there are four large characters made of thick iron sheets - the coastal defense outpost.
On the right side of the gate was a veteran holding a gun and rank of a high-ranking corps.
Seeing the convoy, he shouted enthusiastically: "Company Commander! Instructor! Are you back!?"
Yi Jun, a new recruit from three squads, stood in front of the platoon, looking at the company's gate, unable to hide his disappointment and shook his head.
"Tsk tsk—"
Solemnly asked: "People, why are you stunned?"
Yi Jun's eyes had never left the steel plate characters at the gate. He shook his head and sighed: "When I was in the army, the cadres of the armed forces told me that I came to the open coastal city this time and said that I was lucky..."
He turned his head to look at Zhuang Yan, and said with a constipated expression: "My mother, that's it? Is this my luck?"
Yi Jun is also a "celebrity" among the new recruits of the Eighth Company. He comes from a certain place in western Ganzhou Province and is considered to be half of Xu Xingguo's fellow villager.
Both of them are smokers, and they often gather together to smoke during training, so they are quite familiar with each other.
This guy turned out to be a platoon leader of Wu Hansheng, and was impressed by him only because of the farce of Yi Jun when he was in the camp the morning after reporting to the camp.
Yi Jun has "hair exuding the poetic atmosphere" - this is his own statement.
Because he worships Haizi, and Haizi has long hair, Yi Jun feels that if he does not leave a long hair, he cannot face the sea like Haizi.
According to regulations, whether you are cutting your hair at a local area or not, you still have to ask the squad leader to clean up your head when you come to the army.
In order to keep his "poet's hair" that exudes the poet's atmosphere, Yi Jun did not cut his hair flat as required by the armed forces, but hid his hair in his hat and came to join the army in a blissful manner.
As a result, the day after arriving at the camp, when the recruit squad leader took a flick and wanted to help him shovel the hair that "looks like a bird's nest", Yi Jun ran away on the spot.
He screamed, wearing a haircut apron, and ran on the basketball court in front of the row house like a little antelope chased by a beast, screaming: "I won't cut it! I won't cut it! If I cut my hair, I will lose my soul!"
This move immediately attracted countless onlookers. Everyone was watching the monkey-like movement. They watched Yi Jun, the squad leader, chased Yi Jun with a haircut, and finally pressed him to the ground to cut his hair off.
Yi Jun was crying, like a young woman who was being QJ, with red eyes in sorrow and a painful expression, which made him solemnly and want to laugh and sigh.
He learned from Yin Xiancong's tone and said solemnly and seriously: "To be precise, this is a deep town, but it is just one of the most remote towns in a big city."
Yi Jun looked at it blankly for a while, and finally shook his head again, without saying a word, and entered the company with his backpack.
The camp of the Iron-Battle Company is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a town about three kilometers east. There are two bungalows on the small slope less than 20 meters high on the right side of the door. It is a temporary residence specially prepared for the family.
After visiting the company's battalion, Zhuang Yan then understood why this place was called "Coastal Defense Outpost". Because the coast was about 300 meters away from the opposite side of the company. From the left of the gate was a concrete road leading to the beach. After walking up two hundred meters, there was a 6-story white building on the side of the road that looked very unsociable.
This is the local water police station. The building stands by the sea and has its own dock. A gunboat is docked on the dock for patrol.
The entire valley is a camp of the Iron Eighth Company, with an amazing area.
There is a basketball court, a badminton court plus a few large turfs, and four rows of large rows of houses like the battalion. On the side of the camp area is close to the road, there is a fence and a vegetable field. Behind the rows of houses is a 400-meter obstacle course. Walking towards the valley from the back of the camp, there is a huge shooting range and training ground.
As soon as everyone entered the queuing room to put down their luggage, Yi Jun sat on the bed and threw a cigarette to Zhuang Yan head-on.
"Zhuangyan, we will be a comrade in the platoon from now on. You have to take care of me, a newcomer."
Zhuangyan threw her luggage on the bed, lit the fire with a cigarette, and said to Yi Jun with a smile: "I said to poet, why did you come into our platoon? How could our platoon leader fall in love with you?"
Yi Jun blew a cigarette into the air, snorted and said, "You guys have the most serious rank shortage. When we were allocating, our platoon leader was unhappy when we saw me, so he threw me here..."
Xu Xingguo took the broom and swept it to the two of them.
"I'm telling you two, can you stop smoking in the queue?! Look at what you guys are like!? They've got the floor dirty! Go out!"
"Why?" The solemn person who was smoking was unhappy. "You like to scan other places, I will do it myself. Do you have any control?"
Xu Xingguo snorted, ignored the two of them, and went to the other side to sweep the floor.
Zhuang Yan said to Yi Jun: "Look at our Comrade Xu Dianxing, our enthusiasm is different. It is not on the same level as us. I tell you that they are going to teach the brigade's seedlings."
Yi Jun nodded and said, "Well, the awareness of activists is different."
Xu Xingguo heard this and gave Yi Jun a blank look.
The latter ignored it and sprayed a sip of cigarettes into the air, and dusted the ashes on the ground.
