Zhang Yan was the last recruit to cross the finish line in the second platoon.

The battalion staff officer took the stopwatch and shouted: "23 minutes and 48 seconds!" ”

After another half an hour, all six platoons of recruits in the boot camp reached the finish line.

Dettham had been standing beside several officers at the battalion headquarters, tiptoeing, staring at other people's stopwatches, paying attention to the results of the other platoons.

When the last platoon to set off arrived, Staff Officer Xu, who was in charge of supervising the assessment, announced: "The first platoon of the Ninth Company is 24 minutes and 05 seconds!" The best time is eight consecutive second rows, 23 minutes and 48 seconds! ”

In other words, the second platoon scored three points in the 5km cross-country event.

The championship is already in the bag.

Adai's tense face finally relaxed, and a flower-like smile bloomed on his face.

Walking to the front of his own ranks, this battalion, no, the most awesome platoon-level cadre in the whole regiment, gave a proud thumbs up to his soldiers.

"We, number one!"

"Wow! First! ”

"We are number one!"

The recruits of the whole platoon jumped high with joy! Everyone knows what it means to be free from night workouts, and everyone knows what it means to be able to get a special day off.

The most precious thing for a recruit is rest, and there is nothing more rewarding than a day off.

In the scene of cheering and thunder, only Zhang Yan was silent and did not say a word.

His clothes were almost soaked, and his face was blue.

"Platoon leader, I want to go to the bathroom." He said.

Dai Dehan was about to speak, but he heard the battalion commander suddenly give an assembly order: "The top three platoons will all assemble in the playground!" Staff Officer Xu, go check the equipment of each platoon! ”

The black, thin and tall Staff Officer Xu held a record book in his hand, saluted and said, "Yes!" ”

"Eight in a row, eight in a row, nine in a row! It's all there! Meet at the big playground now! Check your equipment! ”

Dai Dehan said to Zhang Yan: "Gather first, and the inspection will be completed soon, and then we will go again." ”

Zhang Yan's face turned greener.

After assembling on the large playground, all the recruits lined up one meter before and after the password and waited for the officer on duty to check the equipment.

Dai Dehan was intoxicated with the joy of victory, and the three squad leaders also showed their faces and were triumphant; When the recruits thought of the specially approved vacation, they were excited and could not hide the joy in their eyes.

Staff Officer Xu walked to the front of the team with four veterans.

"Listen to the command!"

He looked left and right for a moment, and said in a loud voice, "Guns!" Take off your backpack! Place all other equipment on the left side of your toes! ”

The ranks began to jingle and rattle.

Solemnly put the gun in front of the outside of his right foot, and took the opportunity to bend down to unload the equipment and complained to the serious on the side: "It's raining, why are you still so verbose......"

Serious and whispered: "Inspection, normal, afraid of cheating......"

Zhuang Zheng's heart is full of joy now, he is actually the same as Xu Xingguo, running out of a full row and tied for the first place.

Now, he didn't want anything to affect his mood.

The veterans began to inspect the recruits' guns, magazines, grenades, gas masks, satchels, and water bottles one by one, carefully including unscrewing the lid of the water bottle to see if it was full.

A veteran stopped in front of Zhang Yan and began to bend down to carefully inspect every piece of equipment on the ground.

Suddenly, the moment he reached out to pick up the kettle, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Putting down the kettle, he returned to Staff Officer Xu and whispered something in his ear.

The solemn brows of the ranks furrowed.

"What? What the? I'm still waiting to go back to the shower and get some sleep! Tomorrow I can go out to the city to play......"

He said as he touched his elbow with Serious.

"Lao Yan, when you get to the city tomorrow, I will treat you to a big meal! Eat whatever you want! ”

Serious, as if he hadn't heard the solemn proposal, his face was solemn, his face was expressionless like a stone, and his tone became nervous: "Something happened......

solemnly puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Seriously wiped the rain on his face, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'll know later." ”

"All the recruits are here!" After listening to the veteran's whisper, Staff Officer Xu's face darkened, "Take the kettle!" ”

Solemn, like everyone else, picked up his kettle in a daze.

"Boiling water cover!"

Everyone, on order, unscrewed the lid of the Type 87 military kettle.

Standing in the corner of the playground, Dedham saw the situation in his eyes, and his face changed suddenly.

"Pour!"

Staff Officer Xu gave the order in a loud voice.

Everyone immediately flipped the kettle over.

Dozens of jets of water poured out of the kettle.

Cool boiled water leaked out of the mouth of the kettle and smashed into the ground with a clatter.

Dedham's face darkened completely.

Zhang Yan's kettle was like a prostate patient, with only a few drops of water slipping down on the tick......

Staff Officer Xu turned around, ran to the battalion commander, stood upright, and saluted: "Report to the battalion commander, after the inspection, a recruit in the second platoon of the eighth company has no water, there are only two grenades, and the other platoons have not found any problems, please instruct." ”

The battalion commander's expression sank: "Join the ranks!" ”

After that, he walked to the front of the line and turned in the direction of the platoon: "Dedhan!" What's going on? ”

Dadham lowered his head and didn't squeak.

Before, Zhang Yan had been standing behind the solemn back.

Since he couldn't just turn around in the queue, he didn't know what was going on.

But Serious apparently guessed right.

Something went wrong.

And something big is wrong!

The kettle is empty......

Plus two grenades missing......

This......

Isn't that the same as cheating?!

He still couldn't help it, and at the risk of violating discipline, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhang Yan.

It turned out that almost the entire platoon of recruits was doing the same thing.

Zhang Yan lowered his head and stood in the rain, unable to see his face.

Solemn but clear.

Zhang Yan is in big trouble this time.

The veterans began to whisper to each other.

The battalion commander Teng Wenji stiffened his face, was silent for a moment, and said unhappily: "Bring back each platoon, the results of the second platoon will be invalidated, go back and review it." It's not a thing! ”

When the battalion commander left with the people, the other platoons were immediately disbanded.

In the end, the entire large playground went up, and only the second row of people was still standing in the rain.

Dedham slowly walked to the front of the group and stamped his signature little square step again......

Everyone's hearts were beating with D'Edelham's steps, and every step seemed to be stepping on the heart of every recruit.

Deedham finally stopped.

The rain trickled down his camouflage cap and onto the red-carded cadet's epaulettes on his shoulders.

After standing for a long time, he whispered, "Zhang Yan! Go pick up the dropped grenades! That's equipment! ”

He said to Yin Xiancong again: "Go, follow him to pick up the grenade, when will you pick it up, and then come here to report to me." ”

Zhang Yan hung his head and walked out of the queue, and disappeared on the five-kilometer off-road road with Yin Xiancong.

Still no one dared to move.

It was as if Dedham was like a sculpture, just standing there.

I don't know if it's because the rain in winter is too cold, or for other reasons, everyone's heart sinks little by little, and finally it is completely cold.
