As the battalion commander Yu Jianguo did not ask carefully about the training progress of the fifth squad during this period - this is something that the company commander and the platoon leader are more concerned about. As the battalion commander, he cannot overstep his affairs.

On the contrary, he even admired the spirit of doing things by Class 5 to make a living.

After returning to the dormitory, Yu Jianguo affirmed the behavior of Class 5 in building obstacles and road construction, and praised it, but did not make too many statements.

Lao Ma wanted to stay at Yu Jianguo and Wang Yue for dinner, but Yu Jianguo smiled and refused. Before leaving, Wang Yue turned around and whispered to Lao Ma:

"No, your Class 5 is doing well."

The jeep was moving away in the afterglow of the sunset, as anxious as it was when it came. Looking at the figure of the jeep leaving, Old Wei said foolishly:

"Is our Class 5 going to become famous?"

Obviously, the battalion commander and the company commander came together, coupled with the battalion commander's praise just now, made Lao Wei swell.

Not only Old Wei was expanding, but Xue Lin on the side also expanded: "Will we be awarded a collective third-class merit or something?"

Li Meng was happy and said mockingly: "What are the third-class functions for? We have to give us a collective special-level merit."

Lao Ma was speechless. These two guys were quite beautiful, but they were not outstanding in military training, so they wanted to make contributions based on this?

What are you thinking?

He said angrily: "It's not that the military training is ahead, what can you be famous? You are also making contributions? You are a big-headed ghost! Go and eat quickly, continue to practice after dinner. It's almost time for the company assessment, so I'm working hard!"

Although he was hit by Lao Ma, Lao Wei and Xue Lin were still very excited. Xu Sanduo followed the two guys and was also silly happy. Only Li Meng was still thinking about the impact that the battalion commander and company commander could have on him.

After the meal, Li Meng planned to continue practicing after the activity.

More than three months ago, he probably wasn't dreaming. There was a golden finger helping him. In the previous three months of training, his improvement was very exaggerated, but after three months, his progress was obviously not good.

But no matter how Li Meng called in private, the hidden golden fingers were silent and pretending that he did not exist, Li Meng could only give up the futile call. Without the help of golden fingers for the time being, he could only double the training and waited to enter the Seventh Steel Company to contact the Golden Finger with the "deep" friendship.

While active in the yard, Lao Ma came out of the dormitory and greeted Li Meng: "Li Meng, come with me."

"Yes." Li Meng responded, but thought to himself: Is it what happened just now?

The two walked to the slope facing the dormitory, and Lao Ma signaled Li Meng to sit down with him.

"Li Meng, you have changed - you were not like this before." Lao Ma turned his head and stared at Li Meng with a burning look: "Tell me, what do you think?"

Li Meng pretended to be stupid: "What do you think? Squad leader, why did I change? Just because I am like a soldier now?"

"Don't be careless with me!" Lao Ma glared at Li Meng: "You started practicing on that day. I knew you really wanted to leave here, but why did you pretend to be stupid just now?

Yes, it is true that the credit is collective, but there is always a person who leads the way, right? You kept praising me in front of the company commander and battalion commander, saying that this is all the credit for my leading role—hehe, Li Meng, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?”

Lao Ma became angry when he said this.

He will not take other people's credit on himself, nor will he pretend to be his credit on others.

Li Meng looked at the angry old horse and said innocently: "Squad leader, you are thinking too much."

"Li Meng, do you think you are the only one who is very smart?" Lao Ma said angrily: "No one is a fool! What are you trying to do?"

"Squad leader..."

"If you still treat me as the squad leader, you will tell me the truth! Why do you deliberately turn off your credit? It should be yours, it is yours! What are you? You push your credit? What are you trying to do?" Lao Ma stared indignantly in Li Meng's eyes.

What am I trying to do?

Li Meng smiled bitterly in her heart. It was actually related to Lao Ma, but he didn't want to say it out.

Although Li Meng did not answer, Lao Ma still thought of something from Li Meng's dodging expression.

He sighed weakly, turned his head to look at the fifth squad station on the grassland like a lighthouse, slowly took out the cigarette box from his pocket and handed it to Li Meng one, but Li Meng did not answer.

Lao Ma smiled bitterly and said, "I forgot that you have quit."

Li Meng didn't say anything, but Lao Ma lit up one for himself, then shook his head and said, "Do you know?"

"I guessed it." Li Meng said calmly.

"It's not the company commander, it's all... I want to leave something for the third company." Old Ma slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, but Li Meng was stunned - it was related to the company commander?

Wait - what Lao Ma said is not the same as what I guessed, right?

"I joined the army at the age of 19. In a blink of an eye, 11 years have passed. I have been in the third company for 11 years. This is my second home!" Lao Ma's eyes were a little confused, and he continued:

"In 11 years, the company commander of the 3rd Company changed three, and the soldiers changed one after another. Each company commander proudly said, why is our third company called the Red Third Company? Because we were a company that existed since the Red Army, we have a long and glorious history!

Our third company has always wanted to be the best company, but I have been in the third company for 11 years, but the third company has always been at the middle level. I have become numb to my results.

When our company commander first came, he said that the third company could not continue like this, either good or bad. We cannot surpass the Seventh Steel Company, but the other three companies could not always be on our heads, right?

But our third company was still pressed on the head by the three of them. Now the company commander plans to turn the fifth squad into a transformation squad with bad soldiers. As a veteran, I, as the rest of my life, just stand by and watch?"

Li Meng looked at Lao Ma in a daze. He didn't expect that the so-called full-company assessment would have such "insider information", and he didn't expect that Lao Ma, who kept saying that we would return to the company together, was actually destined to stay here long ago.

It took him a long time to digest the news, and then Mumu said, "You have been lying to us before? Why are you lying to us?"

"I'm afraid you will lose motivation...wait," Lao Ma suddenly shook and turned his head to look at Li Meng: "Don't you know?"

"I know nothing!" Li Meng couldn't help but swear: "Who can think of you lying to us?"

"You said you guessed it..." Lao Ma was also confused.

"I just guessed that you wanted to retire!"

It's true that Lao Ma wants to retire, so he is sure of course he is familiar with the plot.

In fact, he is not familiar with the plot and can feel Lao Ma's anxious mentality during training. He wants to teach everything to the four people in Class 5 in the shortest time. Why is he trying to retire or why?

What's more, in daily training, Lao Ma no longer takes the lead. It is obvious that Lao Ma has passed the peak of physical fitness, and... because of the previous training, Lao Ma's body has begun to have various problems like an old machine.

Li Meng saw Lao Ma holding his heart and gasping for more than once when he was five people.

To be honest, it is reasonable for Lao Ma to leave. Li Meng even sometimes thinks that it is actually a good thing for a veteran who has spent 12 years in the army to leave the army.

But sometimes Li Meng wonders again, if Class 5 is excellent, can Lao Ma spend another four years in the army?

That's why he attributed all the credit to Lao Ma in front of company commander Wang Yue and battalion commander Yu Jianguo.

Anyway, what he wants is to go to the 7th Company.

At this time, Lao Ma heard Li Meng's decision and looked at Li Meng in shock: "You...you guessed?"

"Um."

Lao Ma’s five senses are complicated.

"No need, Li Meng. If it weren't for your sudden change before, Class 5 would still be the same as before. Before leaving, I would make Class 5 look like a normal class and even make more contributions to the company. In fact, I would have been very satisfied.

Li Meng, you are a good soldier - I used to think you are the one who is the one who is the least like a soldier, but later I found out that you are a good soldier. You should have a greater role in the army, so don’t be stupid again.”

Lao Ma patted Li Meng on the shoulder as if he was to his younger brother.

A good soldier?

Li Meng sighed silently. In fact, he sometimes wondered if he was particularly utilitarian - he even robbed Xu Sanduo's path.

Compared to the pure Xu Sanduo, he was carved from the same mold as Chengcai. The only difference is that he may be more worldly than Chengcai.

"Squad leader, do you really decide to leave?"

"I decided, keep it again, it's a burden." Old Ma chuckled. At this moment, he felt particularly relaxed. Looking at Li Meng's heavy expression, Old Ma smiled:

"But it's still early. I'm still a year younger. This year, I can still set an example for the people behind me and contribute some strength to our Red Three Company. As for the future..."

Lao Ma smiled happily, and he patted Li Meng and said:

"From the future, we have to rely on good soldiers like you. Li Meng, our Red Third Company will kill the Second Company, the Fourth Company and the Sixth Company, you have to notify me!"

Li Meng smiled bitterly: "Squad leader, do you look down on me too much?"

Lao Ma said seriously: "I have been in charge of soldiers for ten years and have never misunderstood them. Only you are the exception. Not only are you mistaken, but you are also ridiculously wrong.

You are the hardest soldier I have ever seen. To be arrogant, you have the deepest spirit. Even if you go to the Seventh Steel Company, as long as you persist and work hard, you are fully qualified to become the best soldier.

Li Meng, come on!"

Li Meng looked at Lao Ma with a complicated expression. He wanted to tell Lao Ma impulsively that I wanted to go to the Seventh Company of the Steel, but remembering Lao Ma's expectations for the entire Red Third Company just now, he swallowed the words again.

"Keep this in advance, don't tell Xue Lin, Lao Wei and Xu Sanduo, do you know?" Lao Ma finally reminded.

Li Meng was depressed, but she could no longer calm down.

Halfway through, he did not have the experience of the recruit company that Xu Sanduo and others had experienced. The memories of the recruit company that his predecessor left him were only various "distant days".

So, he stubbornly thought: I want to go to the Seventh Steel Company, and from then on, my new military journey will start!

Can……

Here, he was trained by Lao Ma for half a year.

Time flies really fast, and it will be almost half a year in a blink of an eye.

In half a year, he witnessed the rejuvenation of a veteran's new year from a slutty life to a "everyday progress", and witnessed the rejuvenation of a veteran.

But he...

Is the good soldier in the mouth of Lao Ma a good soldier?
