Under the light of the armored vehicles, the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company were setting up the venue for the banquet.
Tables and stools have been moved out of military trucks and arranged neatly in a long row, which can accommodate more than 100 people from Xiagang No. 7 Company.
Beer, peanuts, and delicacies carefully prepared by the cooking team soldiers were all placed on the table.
Just waiting for everyone to finish everything at hand and have dinner together.
Jiangbei, with two squad leaders, was sorting out the equipment of the Seventh Company one by one. Since the evacuation would be tomorrow, all the equipment must be checked tonight to avoid omissions.
After wrapping his injured head, Xu Sanduo thanked the health worker, came to a tree not far away, and sat next to Chengcai.
Chengcai made room for Xu Sanduo, continued to clean his sniper rifle, and said without raising his head: "Pretty, isn't it?"
"pretty"
"Handsome"
"handsome"
"The guitar sounds good, right?"
“Sounds good”
Xu Sanduo nodded and said with his teeth exposed.
Chengcai was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "I'll give it to someone else."
"I also think it sounds good. I've always wanted to learn it, but I didn't have time, so I spent all my time on it." Chengcai said humbly and lowly while looking at the sniper rifle.
"Every time I listen to others playing the piano, I say to myself, it's okay. It's okay if I can't play. I'm the best shooter among them except for the deputy company commander. I'm still very good. But today, I'm in the scope.
, see that guy”
As he spoke, Chengcai raised his sniper rifle, made a shooting motion, and continued: "With just one shot, I knew that I had no hope."
Xu Sanduo showed a distressed look and said: "Chengcai, why do you have to go to the Red Third Company? I think the Seventh Company is pretty good."
Chengcai shook his head, patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder, and said: "You idiot, this guy has to make a choice. My grades are good at shooting, and my physical fitness is a little ahead in the Seventh Company. But those who can be transferred to non-commissioned officers every year are
For those few, I have to plan for myself. If I go to the Red Third Company, I can directly transfer to a non-commissioned officer, instead of staying in the Seventh Company and not knowing when I will be discharged."
Xu Sanduo stopped talking because he didn't know what to say to make Chengcai stay.

"Brothers of the Seventh Company"
Gao Cheng was holding a beer, looking at the officers and soldiers of the 7th Steel Company sitting around the table, and said loudly: "Originally, I thought, there will be no dinner tonight. If you lose the battle, you will still be a ghost, but our instructor
I have said that you must know how to boost morale especially after a defeat, but I want you to ask, do you still need to boost the morale of the 7th Steel Company?"
"No need" everyone shouted in unison.
"good"
So, under the leadership of Gao Cheng, everyone drank regardless of whether they knew how to drink.
"Come on, everyone respect the deputy company commander. If it hadn't been for his idea, last night's night attack, I don't know if all the people in our seventh company would have been eliminated. Jiangbei, drink." Gao Cheng hugged Jiangbei and shouted loudly while holding the wine.
Said to everyone.
Jiang Bei had no choice but to blow a bottle in one breath, and then the third class members came around and wanted to have a drink with Jiang Bei no matter what.
Jiang Bei risked his life to accompany the gentleman, looked at Shi Jin with a smile on his face, and drank heavily with him. Jiang Bei knew that Shi Jin would most likely not retire.
Because from Shi Jin's smile and from the fact that Gao Cheng didn't become depressed because Shi Jin was about to retire, he knew that,
Jiangbei was very fortunate that his arrival had changed the fate of history and the history of many people in the Seventh Steel Company, and he himself had integrated into the Seventh Steel Company.
Of course, Jiangbei also knows that after this exercise, it is very likely that the reorganization of the Seventh Steel Company will appear on the table of the upper leadership. Jiangbei can only keep his reluctance for the Seventh Steel Company in his heart and spend the remaining six months.
Here, we should improve the military quality of all the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company as soon as possible to prevent too many soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company from being retired due to reorganization.

"Company Commander"
Chengcai brought a beer to Gao Cheng, who was sitting and drinking with Shi Jin.
"Good boy, not bad"
Seeing that it was Chengcai, Gao Cheng patted Chengcai with a drunken face and said.
"Have a drink with you"
"Okay, okay, you performed really well today, I'll do it with you." Gao Cheng picked up the wine glass and said happily. He was quite satisfied with his success. In the entire seventh company, except for Jiangbei, he was the best performer.
After Gao Cheng had three drinks with Chengcai, when he heard what Chengcai said, he was stunned, pushed Chengcai away, and left angrily.
Chengcai didn't take this seriously. He didn't care that the soldiers from the 7th Steel Company around him looked like they wanted to eat him. He picked up a bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp as if nothing had happened.
Si Jin, who was sitting next to Cheng Cai, was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Cheng Cai would easily throw away the opportunity that he desperately wanted to stay, and became the first soldier of the 7th Steel Company to change jobs.
Why, why did he become such a talented person, he could easily trample under his feet the face that thousands of people of Gang Seven Company had tried to protect for decades.
Shi Jin had never been so angry. The soldiers in the third squad said all kinds of things about Chengcai privately, but he stopped them and told them not to judge a person easily. But today, when he looked at Chengcai's face, he had never felt so disgusted.
Thinking of this, Shi Jin picked up the wine and threw it directly at Chengcai, then turned around and returned to the tent.
Jiang Bei and Hong Xingguo stood together, saying nothing, just looking at Chengcai indifferently.
Although he had known about the choice of becoming a talent, he was still furious when this scene came. In the past, he only watched TV series and thought that although it was a bit excessive, he didn't think it was a big deal, because good birds choose trees to roost in.
Well, it’s normal in society.
But when he integrated into the 7th Steel Company, integrated into the army, and became a real soldier, he finally understood why everyone was so unhappy with him.
Because the army does not have the social system, one is one, and two is two.
If you become an adult and abandon your company and the comrades you live with day and night because of future problems, who can believe that on the battlefield, you will not choose to betray your comrades because of your life.
He finally understood that it would be an inevitable choice for future talents to be eliminated by Yuan Lang in the selection of Lao A.
Because of his talent, he has no sense of honor in the army, no sense of responsibility, no sense of comradeship, let alone feelings of family and country.
The Seventh Company of Steel suffered a defeat, and it was only a temporary defeat. Although everyone was uncomfortable, it was not that uncomfortable, and they could still have a drink and a meal.
But the first soldier to change jobs appeared. In the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of Steel 7th Company, it was more of a failure than hundreds of defeats.
So the dinner ended hastily, and the whole company fell into silence.
On this night when we returned to the company, not even the company commander Gao Cheng and the soldiers Xu Sanduo fell asleep, but no one in the seventh company fell asleep.
