Outside the gate of a certain company.

The company commander and instructor had been standing there for an hour with the whole company of officers and men, and everyone had craned their necks to look into the distance on the road, as if they were waiting for someone.

"I said Lao Zhao, that guy won't be coming, right?" Company Commander Wang Tang asked Zhao Yi, the instructor beside him, with some concern.

Zhao Yi said with some uncertainty: "Probably not." Yesterday, the people above had already informed that if there were no accidents, the acting platoon commander would arrive today. ”

"So there was an accident?" Wang Tang was even more worried.

Zhao Yibai glanced at Wang Tang, who was making a fuss, and said, "Old Wang, we are indeed a little remote here, what accidents may there be?" ”

"Yes." Wang Tang replied lightly and continued to wait patiently.

After another half an hour, someone in the team whispered, Wang Tang glared back, but said nothing.

Wang Tang's local company is stationed in a remote mountainous area, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is picturesque, but it really makes you live in this painting but feel too bitter.

Anyone who came here had even the slightest relationship with them was transferred.

No, a week ago, Wang Tang's third platoon commander went to the regiment headquarters, and there was an additional platoon commander vacancy here, and the superior assigned an acting platoon commander to come over.

The word "agent" seems to be a person who doesn't stay here for long, but if it doesn't matter, it will take deep roots here, just like Wang Tang.

Five years ago, Wang Tang also carried the word "agent" to this company, but he didn't expect that this work would be five years, and the word "agent" had already been erased, but it didn't matter that he was still nested in this small ravine.

In order to leave a good impression on the "acting" platoon commander, Wang Tang gathered the officers and men of the whole company to greet him here before dawn, but he stood for an hour and a half without seeing a ghost.

The secretary of the department hurriedly came from the company, took a breath in front of Wang Hai, saluted, and whispered: "Company commander, the food is already cold, let's let the brothers go back to eat first." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Yi, the guide on the side.

Zhao Yi said on the side: "Lao Wang, people are iron and steel, we don't know when that guy will come here, we can't keep letting the brothers stand here and starve, right?" ”

The instructor spoke, Wang Tang couldn't help but give face, waved his hand and said, "Disband, let everyone go back to eat." ”

"Disband, eat!" Instructor Zhao Yi shouted cleanly.

The soldiers below scattered in a hurry.

"Lao Wang, it's time to eat." Zhao Yi called out to Wang Tang, who was standing there without moving.

Wang Tang shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, you go and eat, I'll wait a while." ”

Zhao Yi also knew Wang Tang's temper, and turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

Ma Dan, shouldn't the people run away before they arrived?

Wang Tang scolded in his heart, but he didn't bother, and sat on the stone, his eyes still staring at the place where the sun was rising.

After another half an hour, everyone except Wang Tang had already eaten, and everyone was busy according to their daily lessons, basically forgetting that they were going to be here today.

Even Wang Tang himself didn't have much patience, but at this moment, a person appeared under the sun, and his shadow was stretched long.

Wang Tang thought that he was dazzled, reached out and rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully, and the camouflage uniform was clearly a soldier.

Here it comes!

Wang Tang stood up excitedly, but he didn't move because he didn't determine the identity of the other party, after all, he only knew the other party's name, but he hadn't even seen the photo.

Guo Qing, male, 20 years old, second lieutenant.

At this time, all the information obtained by Wang Tang after receiving the order, such information also made Wang Tang stunned, there was such a concise information?

Wang Tang didn't dare to ask more detailed things, he knew that there must be a reason why the information of the "acting" platoon commander was so simple, and he couldn't ask what he shouldn't ask.

In short, Wang Tang believes that Guo Qing is definitely not a simple character.

Soon, the oncoming man came to Wang Tang, and Wang Tang's gaze had already turned countless circles on the other party.

The man, in his twenties, had a sunny face, and was completely in tune with the simple information.

"You are. Guo Qing? Wang Tang asked uncertainly.

Guo Qing is Zhao Guoqing's pseudonym, at this time he was standing in front of Wang Tang, and when he saw the other party asking, he responded: "Yes, I am Guo Qing, the acting platoon commander who came here to report." ”

"Ah, hello, hello. My name is Wang Tang, I am the company commander here, and we will be colleagues in the future! Wang Tang enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook Zhao Guoqing.

The enthusiasm of the commander of the first company made Zhao Guoqing a little puzzled, he took out his hand and saluted, and shouted in a loud voice: "Acting platoon commander Guo Qing reports to the company commander!" ”

Wang Tang returned the salute at this time, and then said with a smile: "Everyone is not an outsider, don't be so polite." Come, I'll take you inside and meet the others! ”

The conversation between the two had already attracted the attention of others, and someone with a good deed had notified the instructor Zhao Yi, so as soon as the two came in, Zhao Yi rushed over with other officers and soldiers in the company.

Wang Tang introduced everyone to each other in the compound.

"Platoon Commander Zhao, you are really a nobleman. The company commander and the whole company brothers waited for you outside for several hours, and you didn't show up until now. A long line of grumbling said.

"A long line!" Wang Tang reprimanded in a low voice, worried that Zhao Guoqing would have some conflicts with the others in the platoon as soon as he arrived here.

Only then did Zhao Guoqing know why Wang Tang was waiting for him outside, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, the car broke down on the mountain road, and I walked all night to get here." ”

"Ah, so that's the case, then you can't blame Platoon Commander Guo!" Wang Tang hurriedly spoke, and then asked, "Platoon Commander Guo, you must not have eaten yet, right?" Let's go have some dinner together! ”

"Yes." Zhao Guoqing was indeed hungry after a night's journey, and he was not coquettish, so he followed the company commander to the restaurant.

A plate of eggs, a plate of steamed buns, and a pot of rice soup, this is the hospitality meal prepared by the cooking class for Zhao Guoqing.

Zhao Guoqing didn't say much, grabbed the steamed bun and ate it, and he didn't mean to be unaccustomed to eating at all.

Life in the mountains is hard, but it is definitely not bad enough to entertain only a plate of eggs, Wang Tang deliberately arranged this to see if Zhao Guoqing could endure the hardships here, and after careful observation, he was very satisfied with Zhao Guoqing's performance.

After eating five big steamed buns and drinking two bowls of soup, Zhao Guoqing wiped his mouth and said to Wang Tang, who had not even moved his chopsticks: "Company commander, I'm full." ”

"Uh-huh. Guo Pai has been on the road all night, and it is your first day of reporting, so I think this is the case today. I'll let the clerk arrange for you to rest, and we'll talk about it when we're lunch. Wang Tang said with a smile.

When Wang Tang was constantly observing and testing Zhao Guoqing, Zhao Guoqing was also observing Wang Tang and other officers and soldiers in the company at all times.

Born in the Feilong Special Forces and an excellent sniper, Zhao Guoqing's observation is far more subtle than Wang Tang's, how can he not see that Wang Tang has something on his mind, otherwise he would not treat himself so politely.

"Okay, see you at noon." Zhao Guoqing stretched his waist and left under the leadership of the clerk.

The clerk was not in the restaurant before, and he didn't know about the conversation between Zhao Guoqing and Wang Tang, so Zhao Guoqing planned to find a breakthrough from the clerk and find out what was on the company commander's mind.

The others had already gone out for training, and the company was very quiet, and under the leadership of the clerk, Zhao Guoqing entered a large room with more than a dozen bunk beds.

"Platoon Leader Guo, this is your bed." The clerk stretched out his hand and pointed to a lower bunk near the window, the upper bunk was brand new and very clean. "Platoon Commander Guo, you can rest first, and I'll call you again at lunch."

Zhao Guoqing sat down on the bed, stopped the clerk who wanted to leave, and said, "Wait a minute, I don't know anything about the situation here when I first came here, and the company commander asked you to introduce me to the situation here." ”

The clerk was not suspected of fraud, and when he saw that Zhao Guoqing said that it was the order of the company commander, he talked about it.

Don't look at the clerk is not even an officer, but the position in the company is very important, from the company commander to the soldier, there is almost nothing he doesn't know, it can be said that it is the distribution center of gossip news in the company.

Because of their similar age, coupled with Zhao Guoqing's deliberate breakthrough of the other party's psychological defense, the two became friends who talked about everything.

"By the way, does the company commander have any opinions about me?" Zhao Guoqing suddenly pulled the words to the company commander.

"How so? The company commander has no opinion on you at all. The clerk said.

"But why do I think that the company commander and I are with me as if they have something on their minds, as if they don't like me." Zhao Guoqing pretended to be puzzled and said.

The clerk suddenly got up vigilantly and looked outside the house, then closed the door and returned to Zhao Guoqing and said, "The company commander does have something on his mind, but it's not because he doesn't like you. ”

"Why is that?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

"Guo Pai, don't be angry when I tell the truth, let alone say what I said, okay?" The clerk asked with a grimace.

Zhao Guoqing nodded, indicating that nothing said in the document would be revealed to the outside world.

Only then did the clerk speak: "Guo Pai, you just came here, and you don't know at all. The platoon under your command is a well-known mud platoon of the whole company, the whole battalion, and even the whole regiment, and the company commander is afraid that you will not be able to stand it and will have the idea of leaving, and at the same time he is worried that you will not be able to cure the diseases under your command, which is why he has a headache! ”

Zhao Guoqing also came out of the grassroots, and even did paperwork, knowing that "mud" is taken from the meaning of "mud can't support the wall", and the mud row is the worst platoon.

"Can you tell me why my platoon has become a famous mud platoon in the whole regiment?" Zhao Guoqing asked with an open face.

After hesitating, the clerk still gave a detailed explanation, and even carefully told Zhao Guoqing what the name and characteristics of each person in this platoon were.

After listening, Zhao Guoqing suddenly understood, no wonder the company commander looked worried. [End of Chapter]
