The hospital was not far from the brigade headquarters, and the driver drove the car, carrying the brigade commander and Meng Chuan, to the hospital soon.

After last night's operation, Squad Leader Wu and Sergeant Hu have improved a lot, but Sergeant Zhang's injuries are slightly more serious, and they still need to be observed in the hospital for a week.

The two sergeant majors were originally lying on the bed chatting, but when they saw the brigade commander coming, they struggled to get up, and the brigade commander immediately stopped: "Don't get up, it's important to recuperate, this time Comrade Xiao Meng brought you soup, you can drink some later." Today, Comrade Xiao Meng has just been demoted to company commander, but the first thing he thinks about is you, you must know how to be grateful. ”

When squad leader Wu heard that Meng Chuan was demoted to company commander because of this accident, he was very upset and apologized again and again, "Battalion Commander Meng, I'm sorry for you, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been punished." ”

Meng Chuan put the soup on the head of the bed and waved his hand, "It's all in the past, don't talk about it, I still point to you after your injuries are healed, continue to repair the cannon for me, and the repair work of the synthetic battalion artillery company still depends on you." ”

The brigade commander also said at this time: "Squad Leader Wu, you were originally the squad leader of the brigade repair shop, and you can be regarded as an old man among the elderly. ”

Squad Leader Wu also blamed himself very much, "Brigade Commander, I realized my mistake. ”

"Hey, don't apologize to me, if you want to apologize, apologize to Xiao Meng, he is now your company commander, if something happens to you, he is responsible." By the way, this time the brigade has taken into account that you have been injured, so this punishment will not be carried out for the first time, and I hope that you can 'make meritorious contributions', understand the principle of this self-propelled howitzer as soon as possible, repair the equipment failure as soon as possible, and pay for the responsibility for this accident." ”

Squad Leader Wu himself has a little experience with this failure, so he also has a certain degree of confidence in repairing the equipment, "Brigade Commander, rest assured, we will definitely make meritorious contributions and repair the equipment failure as soon as possible." ”

The brigade commander nodded, "That's okay, I'll go out first." Xiao Meng, if you have anything else to explain to them, just explain it quickly, I'll wait for you in the car. ”

Meng Chuan didn't have anything to explain, he just wanted them to drink this soup, which would be more conducive to the recovery of their injuries, "Squad Leader Wu, Sergeant Captain Hu, this is the soup I stewed for you, drink it while it's hot." You don't have any psychological pressure to recuperate, this time I was demoted, although it has something to do with you, but the main reason is that I didn't do my job properly, I am now your company commander, and then we should supervise each other and improve our own shortcomings. ”

The more Meng Chuan said this, the more guilty squad leader Wu felt, "Battalion Commander Meng, I won't say anything else, after I am discharged from the hospital in two days, I will definitely fix this armor failure." ”

Meng Chuan nodded, "Okay, then please, this soup is stewed by me, which is beneficial to your recovery from injuries, you will drink it while it is hot, the brigade commander is still waiting for me in the car, I will leave first." ”

When Meng Chuan put the soup on the head of the bed just now, the two sergeant majors smelled the fragrance of the soup, and as soon as Meng Chuan left, squad leader Wu immediately struggled to sit up, opened the lid, and prepared to serve a bowl to taste first.

Sergeant Major Hu couldn't sit up at this time because of a rib injury, so he could only look anxious, "Old Wu, don't eat alone for your old man, why am I like this, it's not all because of you, you feed me a bowl first." ”

Squad Leader Wu and Sergeant Captain Hu have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and the feelings are very deep, this time Sergeant Hu was injured, also because of Squad Leader Wu's command error, and it was Squad Leader Wu who was at fault, so he had nothing to say now, "Okay, okay, feed you first, you see that you are almost forty years old, and you still want me to feed you, you are not ashamed." ”

Sergeant Hu is not ashamed of it, there are people waiting for him, that is, it is comfortable, they all say that it will take 100 days to hurt the muscles and bones, and this injury, he does not have to go out for morning exercises for three months, and he does not have to do physical work, this thought, it is still very comfortable.

It's just because of Battalion Commander Meng, he just came to this day, he was demoted from deputy battalion commander to company commander, and now he is still making soup for himself, and he really can't help it.

"Old Wu, when we go back, we have to cooperate with Company Commander Meng, we have been soldiers for more than ten years and almost twenty years, it is the first time I have seen such a good company commander, really, it is the first time I have seen it."

Squad Leader Wu also thought of Meng Chuan's goodness in his heart, "Yes, Camp Commander Meng treats us well, and we can't treat him badly." In the heavy artillery company, what we say is more effective than the company commander, and with our help in the future, I see who dares to deal with Meng Chuan. ”

Don't look at the third-class sergeant major as just a non-commissioned officer, but even if it is a company commander, even the battalion commander has to call the third-class sergeant major a squad leader, after all, the qualifications are here, and what he says is very effective.

At this time, squad leader Wu also fed Sergeant Hu a mouthful of soup, this wonderful taste made Sergeant Hu can't help but exclaim, "My God, is this soup made by Commander Meng?" I feel like even the master chef of the brigade canteen can't cook it, it's so delicious. ”

When squad leader Wu heard what Sergeant Hu said, he felt that it was a bit too exaggerated, the taste of this soup is indeed good, but what grade is the master of the brigade canteen, that is a special chef, Company Commander Meng is still so young, can the soup cooked be as good as that of a special chef?

"I'll try it, I want to see how good it is in your mouth."

As soon as squad leader Wu's soup entered his mouth, the rich fragrance immediately occupied his heart, "It's delicious, it's delicious, this soup is the best soup I've ever tasted in my life." ”

Sergeant Major Hu saw that squad leader Wu was drinking here alone, and hurriedly dragged him, "Old Wu, what are you doing, you said that you would feed me to drink, why are you drinking by yourself, hurry up, feed me first, I want to drink two bowls." ”

At this time, Meng Chuan also got into the brigade commander's car, and the brigade commander looked at the driver and said, "Go to the synthetic battalion." ”

When the driver heard this, he immediately increased the throttle and drove towards the synthetic camp.

Announcing the results of the punishment, there is no need for a leader like the brigade commander to announce it, just find a staff officer, it is estimated that this time the brigade commander will personally go out, definitely not only to announce the results, there must be other things.

The synthetic battalion is not far from the brigade headquarters, it takes less than half an hour to drive, and this time the brigade commander did not inform anyone, and no one in the synthetic battalion knew that the brigade commander would come, so no one came out to welcome him.

After getting out of the car, the brigade commander did not directly enter the headquarters of the synthetic battalion, but turned his head to look at Meng Chuan, "Xiao Meng, take me to the repair shop to have a look, I haven't been here for a while, I have to take a good look at the atmosphere here." ”

Although Meng Chuan has only been in the synthetic camp for a few days, he already has a good understanding of the basic situation of the synthetic battalion, after all, the synthetic battalion is not large, and there are only 1,000 people and six companies when it is full, "Okay, brigade commander, you come with me." ”

However, the brigade commander did not get out of the car first, but said to the driver: "Xiao Sun, take out the clothes in my trunk, and I'll change them." ”

Change of clothes? Is this a private visit to microservice? Meng Chuan immediately said: "Brigade commander, then I'll wait for you under the car." ”

Soon the driver took out a set of fourth-class sergeant major clothes and handed them to the brigade commander, the fourth-class sergeant major is only a person in his thirties, although the brigade commander is in his forties this year, but after all, he is a perennial office, and the maintenance is still relatively good, so it is quite appropriate to wear the clothes of the fourth-class sergeant, at least it will not arouse the suspicion of others.

As for the other clothes, if it is a third-class sergeant major, it is relatively rare, and the third-class sergeant major is placed in the brigade, and it is all treasures. As for the sergeant, the brigade commander still looks too old when he wears it, so the fourth-class sergeant major is the most suitable.

The brigade commander quickly changed his clothes and got out of the car, seeing that the clothes fit well, and knew that the brigade commander often did this.

The brigade commander glanced at Meng Chuan, "Company commander, take me to the repair shop to have a look." ”

How could Meng Chuan withstand the brigade commander to say this, "Brigade commander, look at you, then what should I call you." ”

"Call me what? It's called Lao Gubei, you're a company commander, I'm a squad leader now, you have to figure this out, don't show it. ”

Meng Chuan also wanted to call the brigade commander Lao Gu, but he didn't shout for a long time, "Brigade commander, or I'll call you Gu squad leader, I really can't call Lao Gu." ”

The company commander called the fourth-class sergeant major to call the squad leader, which was nothing wrong, "Okay, it's okay to call me Gu squad leader." ”

As he spoke, Meng Chuan took the brigade commander to the repair shop, and the warehouse for dismantling armored vehicles yesterday was locked, because Squad Leader Wu was not there, and others were not able to move these equipment parts at will, so they could only wait for Squad Leader Wu to come back and assemble them.

As for the other warehouses, they are quite hot, and the armored infantry does the most thing, that is, disassembling the armor and cleaning the armor. For example, things like armored tracks must be dismantled, cleaned and reloaded one by one after returning to the warehouse after training, so many times everyone stays in the garage to clean the vehicle equipment.

This time, the artillery company had just finished training, and in the afternoon it began to clean its equipment, and although two sergeant majors were injured yesterday, this did not affect the soldiers. It's normal for a soldier to get injured, and no one makes a fuss.

So Meng Chuan took the brigade commander to the repair shop, and saw that everyone was working enthusiastically, and he was very relieved, but the brigade commander still said: "Xiao Meng, go to the third garage from the left, I see that the people there are quite idle, let's go over and understand the situation." ”

Meng Chuan immediately took the brigade commander to the third garage, and as soon as he got closer, the squad leader who was organizing the soldiers to clean up saw Meng Chuan, so he immediately shouted: "Hello Battalion Commander Meng." ”

Meng Chuan nodded, "Are you busy?" ”

The sergeant squad leader pointed to a few busy fighters, "Well, according to the regulations, the armored vehicles are being cleaned, Battalion Commander Meng, do you have any instructions here?" Do you want me to call Company Commander Dong over? ”

Meng Chuan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'll just come over and take a look, you just keep busy." ”

At this time, the brigade commander spoke, "Company Commander Meng, didn't you say that you were going to go to another garage, then I won't accompany you around, I'll wait for you here." ”
