Chapter 43: Reluctance to win awards, third-class merit, title of sharpshooter, division-level commendation
"Look to the right and look forward."
"Take a break and stand at attention."
"Reporting to the company commander, the seventh company has been assembled. 104 people should be present, but 101 people are actually present. Three are on guard and one is on vacation. Please give instructions."
The duty officer quickly organized the team and made a report to the company commander Gao Cheng.
"Go down."
"yes!"
Gao Cheng returned the gift, waited for the attendant to go down, walked to the front of the team and said loudly and happily: "Today is a good day, cheer me up."
It is our honor to have the commander of the division come to our company. Now, let us applaud and ask the commander to say a few words to us."
In a happy and excited mood, Gao Cheng's voice rose to a higher pitch.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack..."
The strong and miraculous applause unique to the troops resounded throughout the playground like firecrackers.
Director Xie greeted the applause of the soldiers, stretched out his right hand and shook it in response, came to the front of the team, stretched out his hand and pressed down.
The applause stopped momentarily.
"Soldiers of Steel 7th Company, you have worked hard. I came to Steel 7th Company mainly for two things. First, I want to express condolences and visit you. I hope you can train hard, enhance your military skills, and protect your home and country.
Secondly, this time I came with a glorious mission to represent the division's political office to award an honorary certificate and medal to an outstanding comrade who performed well in the recruit company and broke the record of our entire division in one fell swoop.
Everyone must know who this comrade is, so I won’t get too close to the point here and go straight to the point. I would like to invite Private Jackie Chan to come out.”
As soon as Director Xie's words came out, everyone's hearts boiled.
The new recruits and veterans standing in the team, although they did not dare to cheer because of the order of the queue, the wide eyes said it all.
It was envy, joy, surprise, admiration, etc., a complex mixture of countless emotions.
Not to mention company commander Gao Cheng, he is the happiest person in the company right now, standing there smiling from ear to ear, showing two rows of white teeth.
He was even happier than Jackie Chan, the person who won the award. Those who didn't know thought it was him who won the award.
And with a calm face but a hint of surprise, Jackie Chan, who didn't expect someone from the division headquarters to personally present the award, came out of the team and trotted to the front of the team.
Jackie Chan, who was not so conspicuous in the team, stepped out and stood alone in front of the team, and his visual impact was immediately full.
With a height of 1.92 meters and a body of 230 pounds, standing in front of me is really intimidating.
Whether it was Director Xie who came from the division headquarters or Officer Liu who came with the regiment headquarters, they had never seen such a majestic person before, and their eyes widened.
Until Gao Cheng couldn't wait any longer and coughed twice as a reminder.
Director Xie finally reacted, smiled to hide his embarrassment, greeted the people who came with him, and delivered a large box wrapped in red silk.
He took out a lot of things one after another and stuffed them into Jackie Chan's arms.
Jackie Chan almost couldn't hold her in his arms.
First of all, the first one was a third-class certificate of honor, and then Director Xie personally pinned a third-class medal on Jackie Chan's uniform.
The golden medal with a red five-pointed star in the middle shines brightly in the sun.
No matter whether they are new soldiers or veterans, they are all envious when they see this third-class merit medal. In addition to being sour, they are still sour with envy.
How many people have worked hard all their lives as soldiers, but in the end they couldn't get a third-class meritorious service.
It only took Jackie Chan and the new recruits three months, which is only more than half a year today, to accomplish what many soldiers cannot achieve in a lifetime.
How can this not make people envious and jealous!
The most "hateful" thing is that hanging the third-class merit medal on the chest is the beginning.
The "Division Certificate of Commendation" from the division headquarters and the "Marksman Title Certificate" written by the division commander himself were all stuffed into Jackie Chan's hands.
Winning three first-level division honors at once, Jackie Chan set a new record for the infantry division.
This record may not be broken in a short time!
Jackie Chan has received such a high honor, which is equivalent to the honor of the Seventh Steel Company. As the captain of the Seventh Steel Company, Gao Cheng has never been so happy as he is today.
The first one in the lead clapped his hands, causing a thunderous sound from the whole company.
Then he spoke passionately: "Jackie Chan is just a private soldier, but he can get third-class merit, as well as awards and the title of sharpshooter. This is worth learning from you. Everyone should learn from him.
And don’t just learn without practicing, as long as you are willing to practice, you will definitely be as good as him, and the next third-class skill will be yours.”
Despite Gao Cheng's careless appearance, he is actually quite good at painting.
When the soldiers of Gang 7th Company heard what Gao Cheng said, they seemed to see that they had replaced Jackie Chan, full of honor and enjoying the envy of everyone in the room.
The blood was boiling as if a chicken had been beaten, and everyone's face was as excited as a monkey's butt.
"Although it is not the first time to perform third-class meritorious service, the feeling of performing meritorious service is different every time. It can really make people excited and excited."
Infected by the fiery atmosphere in the audience, Jackie Chan could no longer remain calm.
I couldn't help but look forward to it: "You can be promoted directly with two third-class merit examinations. It is much simpler than taking the military academy exam. It seems that in order to save some trouble, I have to work hard."
Jackie Chan won third-class meritorious service, which is an honor that will send good news to his hometown.
Jackie Chan is looking forward to how happy his father Cheng Guoqiang and his mother will be when they receive the good news delivered to the village by the Ministry of Armed Forces.
What is Guangzong Yaozu?
After achieving third-class merit in the army and returning home, being able to post the good news on the wall is called honoring one's ancestors.
Jackie Chan has gained a lot personally. It can be said that he is soft on winning awards. The overall atmosphere of the Seventh Company of Steel has also been driven by Jackie Chan.
Third-class merit was once out of reach in the minds of soldiers, but now there is a living example like Jackie Chan.
Everyone sees hope!
The Seventh Steel Company, which was already full of competition, was stimulated by Jackie Chan's three-man attack, and the blood of battle was completely inspired, and the training entered a new stage.
Whether it is a 400-meter obstacle or a 600-meter obstacle;
Whether it’s 5 kilometers of light travel or 10 kilometers of light travel;
Whether it is military skills learning or squad coordination tactical training.
In all the trainings of the soldiers of Gang 7th Company, everyone is trying their best to win a third-class merit for themselves.
Although hope is slim, there is hope after all.
The big event that originally happened in the original plot of the TV series had a completely different outcome because of Jackie Chan.
