Chapter 1052: Examination Ground
"Hey, Stone, get up, I'm going to take the special combat team assessment today."
Private Zhang Shi was sleeping soundly under the quilt when he was woken up by a push.
Zhang Shi got his head out of the quilt, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and glanced out through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window to drill into the quilt again: "It's only dawn today, it's still early." β
In order to select the Flame Special Operations Brigade, Yang Ling deliberately gave the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps a one-day vacation to facilitate the space for assessment, so he did not have a morning training today.
"Hey, don't sleep lazy, you forgot, we have to eat something early today, otherwise we won't have the strength to wait for the assessment." Han Er, who was dark-skinned, dragged Zhang Shi who was about to sleep again.
Zhang Shi was rescued by the Northern Jiangsu Corps from the hands of the Little Knife Society, otherwise he would have been killed by the people of the Little Knife Society to worship the ancestors.
And Han Er was the man who was rescued from the devil when the Northern Jiangsu Corps fought Gaoyou, and they all joined the army one after another and became a member of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
They naturally knew that the Flame Special Operations Brigade was in the Northern Jiangsu Corps, which was the gathering place of the elite, and only the strongest people could enter.
This time, the Flame Special Operations Brigade recruited newcomers, and for the sake of the Flame Special Operations Brigade's treatment of several grades higher, they also enthusiastically signed up, hoping to enter the strongest unit.
After all, the water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places, even if the strength is not good, but they all yearn for better treatment and hope to go further.
Although Zhang Shi was nostalgic for the warm quilt, under Han Er's repeated urging, he still got up slowly and dressed neatly.
The two drank two large bowls of porridge and nibbled on three steamed buns in the camp's cafeteria, and then walked towards the training ground for the assessment with a full burp.
Although the weather was still shivering, the snow was gone, and the road was as hard as a stone.
The brothers walked towards the assessment training ground in groups of three or five, some to join in the fun, and some to participate in the assessment.
"Sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd!"
"Yakiniku, hot pancakes!"
......
Outside the fence of the camp, all sorts of vendors were shouting and selling their belongings.
Although these small traders were not allowed to enter Yangling's camp, they could set up stalls outside the camp to sell things.
The brothers would pay their military salaries every month and stationed at the head of the realm, which invisibly boosted the consumption of the head of the realm and made the place prosperous.
Han Er and Zhang Shi talked and walked, and soon walked into the camp of the assessment, because the assessment had not started yet, everyone was gathered in groups of three or five with people they knew, talking about the upcoming assessment, and some people were doing warm-up exercises.
"I heard that more than 50 people were recruited in the last assessment, and I don't know how many people were recruited this time?" Looking at the large number of people who signed up in the black pressure around them, many people felt a heavy pressure.
Some brothers speculated: "I think I'm going to recruit 100 people, but I've heard that there are 2,000 or 3,000 people who have signed up." β
"That's not necessarily, the Flame Special Combat Team recruits the strongest people in our troops, and it's not much ...... in the fine."
The brothers were talking, many of their faces were full of excitement, others were very nervous, and the training ground was full of people.
"Young master, I see so many people, let's go back, what a shame it would be if you were brushed off, if you really want to join the Nalaoshzi special combat team, why don't we find someone to be accommodating......"
Looking at those sturdy officers and soldiers, Ah Fu, the subordinate who accompanied the militia detachment leader Xiao Yanlai, was full of worries, and kept chattering beside him.
Xiao Yan, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, did not have the slightest worry, but was eager to try, and was impatient in the face of Ah Fu's words: "If you want to go back, go back, don't talk nonsense here." β
Hearing the impatience in his young master's tone, his subordinate Ah Fu didn't dare to say anything, if he really made his young master unhappy, then he would have to be beaten again.
"Yo, isn't this the young master of the Xiao family, you don't stay at home with your little body, what are you doing here, and you're not afraid of the wind blowing away."
At this moment, a yin and yang strange voice came, and Zhang Leopard, another detachment leader of the militia who was wearing a sheepskin coat and showing his muscles outside in the winter, walked over with a figure-eight step, his face full of disdain.
Although they are now the militia detachment leaders under the command of the Northern Jiangsu General Army, they have always had grievances before, they do not deal with each other, and they always have to ridicule each other when they meet.
"Captain Zhang, I heard that you have accepted the eighth concubine again, congratulations, but do you still have the strength to participate in the assessment?" Xiao Yan, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was also unambiguous, and immediately went back.
Zhang Leopard laughed and patted his chest and said: "Lao Tzu is strong, not to mention the eight-room concubine, it is the eighty-room concubine, Lao Tzu still has the strength to participate in the assessment." β
"Oh? In that case, how about we make a bet? Xiao Yan pushed his glasses and said with a smile.
"Bet?" Looking at Xiao Yan's sinister smile, Zhang Leopard's face was cloudy, but in front of the public, he couldn't lose face, and immediately asked, "What are you betting on?" β
"Let's bet on who will pass the assessment?" Xiao Yan's face had a deeper smile: "If anyone doesn't pass, how about giving ten quick guns to the other party?" β
"Bet on it, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed!" Looking at Xiao Yan's weak and uncontrollable small body, Zhang Leopard suddenly felt full of confidence.
While everyone was waiting on the assessment training ground, Yang Ling also arrived at the assessment training ground surrounded by a group of senior officers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
Seeing Yang Ling and the other senior officers coming, the chaotic training ground suddenly became much quieter.
"Hello sir!"
"Hello Sir Yang!"
......
Yang Ling started from the gate of the training ground, and the guards and brothers who participated in the assessment along the way all stood up and saluted.
"How's the preparation going?"
"Ready!"
"Is it cold to wear so little?"
"Report sir, it's not cold!"
......
Yang Ling was also amiable, and while raising his hands one by one to return the salute, he greeted the brothers with cold and warmth, and there was no pretension at all.
This harmonious scene made those people who participated in the assessment from the private sector impressed, and they didn't expect Yang Ling's prestige in the army to be so high.
"I didn't expect these brothers to support Chief Yang so much."
Seeing Yang Ling and the brothers talking and laughing all the way to the rostrum, Xiao Yan muttered to himself, and became more confident that he wanted to join this army.
Yang Ling led the Northern Jiangsu Corps all the way from Huaiyin to Gaoyou, beating the devils so much that they were full of urine, and never deducted the military salaries of the brothers and drank the blood of the soldiers, and tried every means to improve the treatment of the brothers.
In this era, there are not many such good officers, so the brothers are willing to work for Yang Ling and are willing to follow him to fight devils, which is also the main reason why the Northern Jiangsu Corps has a strong cohesion.
