Big beads of sweat flowed down Huang Jianhua's forehead, reaching into his left eye, making him feel burning.
The scenery in front of him also became blurry, but he did not dare to reach out and wipe it. Under the sunshine of early spring, Huang Jianhua, like the recruits around him, stood upright with his head held high, his eyes level, and his eyes straight.
This is the most basic training for new recruits to transform from ordinary civilians into soldiers: stand in a military posture.
Gao Hongming paid special attention to the new recruits recruited this time and repeatedly emphasized that they must be trained strictly. He would not be lenient to anyone who slipped up during training, so the new recruits suffered.
Huang Jianhua's recruit instructor is named Li Changan, and he is a fierce-looking guy.
Of course, he is not only ruthless in appearance, but also ruthless and brutal in his actions, and his boxing and kicking skills are even more impressive.
Huang Jianhua was once kicked by him. A hard leather boot hit his stomach. The pain caused him to lie on the ground for more than ten minutes before he got up. It is estimated that if anyone really angered him, this guy would really kill him.
Twist off the head.
Several times, Huang Jianhua almost couldn't hold on and wanted to quit, but when he thought that once he quit, he would not only lose the two yuan of military pay per month, but also have to return all the thirty yuan of resettlement allowance he had received earlier, he gave up.
Got this idea.
These days, no one can owe money to the army. If they really dare not pay back the money, they will really dare to kill people.
Under Li Changan's despotic power, these recruits are like little rabbits, as obedient as they want.
At this moment, Li Changan was walking back and forth in the queue, glaring with two eyes under the brim of his hat, looking at each of the recruits, including Huang Jianhua, from head to toe. The five hundred recruits of the Eighth Recruit Company looked like tigers under his gaze.
The group of little white rabbits in front of them were shivering.
"Rookies, congratulations..."
Li Changan's voice sounded.
"It's rest time now. You can rest as much as you like for ten minutes. We will gather at the same place in ten minutes."
"Wow..."
As Li Changan's voice fell, hundreds of recruits dispersed as if they were being amnesty.
One by one, they dispersed as quickly as possible, some running for convenience, and some looking for water aside.
Only at this time can they relax. Many people fell to the ground and stretched their stiff hands and feet...
Huang Jianhua couldn't understand why the recruits from other companies, who were also new recruits, had such a "nourished" life, but their eighth company had such a hard life.
"Hey... brothers..."
At this time, a short recruit came over and mysteriously said to the surrounding recruits: "Do you know why the Black-faced God trains us so hard?"
"Do you know?" Huang Jianhua asked strangely.
"Of course."
The short recruit said proudly: "I heard from my fellow soldiers in other companies that our company is not an ordinary infantry company, but is prepared to establish an armored battalion."
"Armored battalion?"
This is the first time for most soldiers to hear this word.
"Tu Xingsun, you kid, stop showing off and speak quickly." One of the new recruits became impatient.
Tu Xingsun's name was Sun Youfu. He was relatively short at only 1.55 meters tall. He also liked to wander around various companies to get information, so his comrades gave him the nickname Tu Xingsun.
However, Sun Youfu was not angry either. When people called him that, he still happily agreed.
Sun Youfu whispered: "You don't know it yet, you may not know the name Armored Battalion, but you should understand the tank thing, right?"
"Tank?" Someone asked curiously: "Is it the kind of iron bastard wrapped in thick armor?"
"What armor? That's called armor."
Sun Youfu rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Actually, it should be called the Tank Battalion, but I don't know what our regiment thought of giving it such a name.
In the future, once the armored battalion is established, we will be the best in the entire regiment."
Looking at Sun Youfu's thumbs up, Huang Jianhua asked doubtfully: "Real or false, you won't come up with false news to deceive us, right?"
"I'm lying to you, you're a bastard."
Sun Youfu snorted softly, "If you don't believe it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."
"Beep……"
A sharp whistle suddenly sounded. Upon hearing this whistle, the recruits all jumped up as if they were conditioned reflexes.
I can’t blame the new recruits. Judging from past experience, once the whistle blows for those who have not lined up within thirty seconds, what awaits them will be vicious curses from the instructor and leather boots that are so painful that you will never forget it.
In fact, it didn't take thirty seconds. In less than twenty seconds, the entire eighth company of recruits had been assembled.
However, what surprised the recruits was that although Li Changan, who usually had a dark face, was still very serious, the soldiers could still see an imperceptible smile on his face.
The black-faced god could still laugh. This discovery almost made the recruits panic. Did this guy hit his head just now?
Just when everyone was wondering, the answer was revealed, because a young officer came from not far away.
Sharp-eyed soldiers discovered that this officer was wearing a silver twisted silk epaulette with two golden four-pointed stars on it. According to the education the recruits received these days, the rank of the person wearing this armband should be colonel, and the entire militia group
, there is only one person who can wear this epaulette, and that is their leader Gao Hongming.
The militiamen originally did not have military ranks because Gao Hongming was afraid of causing trouble. After all, his army was not recognized by the government. Granting military ranks to soldiers and officers without authorization would attract criticism from others.
But in the actual battle, he found that the lack of military ranks in the troops caused even greater trouble.
After all, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and anything can happen. Once the troops are dispersed, the soldiers do not know each other and do not belong to each other, so battlefield command becomes a big problem.
So after thinking about it, Gao Hongming decided that it would be better to issue military ranks to the troops. In order to prevent others from gossiping, the military ranks he awarded to the troops also copied the German military ranks, but made some slight changes in some details.
For example, the German military ranks are too complicated. There are six levels for soldiers: senior exempt soldier, special exempt soldier (with more than 6 years of service), superior exempt soldier (with less than 6 years of service), exempt soldier, upper class private, and private.
In Gao Hongming's opinion, there was no need for this at all, so he changed it to three levels, namely, first class soldier, second class soldier and private soldier.
Sergeants are divided into senior sergeants, sergeants and corporals
As for lieutenants and school officers, there are no changes.
After being awarded the title, the morale of the entire unit became completely new. Both officers and soldiers welcomed the decision.
