Chapter 80 Chengcai broke the steel seventh consecutive record
It was already the afternoon when the confrontation exercise ended. The 702nd Regiment needed to rest at the exercise ground for a night before gathering again tomorrow morning.
The armored infantry company's logistics food is very good, and the cooks in the cooking squad are also very agile.
Gao Cheng issued the order at nearly six o'clock. At around seven o'clock, not long after it got dark, all the preparations for the dinner were completed.
The infantry fighting vehicles were parked in a row outside, and the lights were turned on, illuminating the field brightly.
Several folding tables were put together in the middle to create a nearly five-meter-long desk. There was nothing on it except green bottles of liquid grenades.
The long desk is full!
Next to it were two stoves made of oil drums, with a large one-meter-diameter iron pot on each of them. The pot lids were covered and the pots were sizzling hot.
It contains the army’s most distinctive cauldron dishes.
Stew all kinds of ingredients in one pot for half an hour and an hour. When the flavors are all blended, make a bowl and eat it.
There are vegetables, meat and rice, it’s really not that satisfying.
Just have a sip of beer...
Not to mention, it’s so comfortable!
We didn't bring so many tables and chairs when we came out for the exercise. The only table was used to place liquid grenades, so the soldiers could only sit as they pleased.
On top of the armored vehicle, on the grass next to it, and on both sides of the long desk in the middle, sit wherever there is space.
Not so particular.
The only thing that matters is the liquid grenade beer, so everyone has to make a bottle before starting the meal.
Before Prohibition was enacted.
Dining and drinking is also a characteristic culture of the military.
The four pieces of beer that Yuan Lang left behind before leaving, coupled with the "old bottom" of the 7th Steel Company, made it possible to have a good drink tonight even at a training ground in the wilderness.
Before the banquet officially begins with eating and drinking, it is essential for the company commander to deliver a speech.
"Brothers of the Seventh Company!"
Company Commander Gao Cheng was in a happy mood today. He made a large glass of beer in an enamel cup, stood in the middle and said, "I was thinking, I won't have dinner tonight, and I'll be a ghost after losing the battle.
But then I thought about it, although the exercise failed, our steel team has not lost for seven consecutive years.
Until the last moment of the exercise, our Steel Seventh Company was still stationed on Highland 034, and was not defeated by the enemy. We still had nearly 20 men in strength, so we had no problem guarding the high ground.
During the entire exercise, we killed more than 30 members of the Blue Army and captured alive a senior enemy officer.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides is basically 1:1, and they also gained a senior officer. Don't forget, the blue side is an elite selected from the entire army. Their weapons are more advanced, and their conditions in all aspects are much better than ours.
Therefore, regardless of the large-scale operations, just from the perspective of our 7th Steel Company, no matter from any aspect, we have done very well, which is equivalent to winning a battle.
The 7th Gang Company is good, and so are you. It’s worth having a dinner and a drink, don’t you think?”
"yes!!"
The whole company answered in unison.
When you are in a good mood, your voice becomes louder.
The mood of the company commander often connects the whole company. Company commander Gao Cheng is in a happy mood, and the soldiers below are also in a happy mood, which is equivalent to a community.
"good!"
Gao Cheng raised the enamel cup high, glanced at the audience and said loudly: "This first glass of wine must be dedicated to Jackie Chan, who performed particularly well in this exercise.
If he hadn't discovered the enemy's plot in time and set up two ambushes in a row, he would have beaten the enemy into panic and wiped out more than 30 enemies in one fell swoop.
I'm afraid we will be like other companies, with all our underpants knocked off, and there won't be any dinner tonight.
So, whether you know how to drink or not, you have to drink this first glass of wine for me. Come on, raise the bottle and drink~"
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank from the enamel cup.
"Drink~~"
The soldiers below echoed in unison, holding up bottles and starting to blow on them.
By the time Gao Cheng finished drinking the beer in the enamel cup, the soldiers who drank quickly had already drank half of the bottle, and those who didn't know how to drink had also drank the smaller half.
Jackie Chan's physique beer is an oral liquid, and he can easily drink a bottle of it.
After Gao Cheng finished drinking, he poured another half cup into the enamel cup, raised the cup and continued: "This second glass of wine, let's drink it for the future of Gang 7th Company.
The fact that we were able to achieve a partial victory in the face of defeat proves that our Seventh Steel Company has sufficient strength.
Those who have confidence and want to win the battle, just drink everything in your bottle; those who have no confidence, just pretend I didn’t say it, just go to bed and go!”
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he drank from the cup and finished it quickly.
The soldiers also drank it straight to the end.
In the last third cup, Gao Cheng said nothing and gave the opportunity to the instructor Hong Xingguo.
"The company commander has said everything that needs to be said. I will just order this last third glass of wine. Everyone, please open your belly to me tonight. Fill your belly to my heart first, and then everyone will drink to their heart's content.
~”
Hong Xingguo drew out the last word and drank with the same boldness while holding up the enamel cup.
The instructor has said so, so what are you waiting for?
Let’s get started!
All the fighters, including Jackie Chan, got drunk with bottles of wine and ran around the field, having a great time.
Even Xu Sanduo, the dullest member of the 7th All-Steel Company, was infected by the atmosphere and let go.
Grabbing a beer bottle, I first paid tribute to Jackie Chan, thanking him for always being like a big brother and selflessly helping and caring for him.
Then he went to toast squad leader Shi Jin and thanked Shi Jin for bringing him to the army and this big family.
Then there are a lot of bala bala.
Shi Jin has witnessed Xu Sanduo's growth along the way, watching him transform from an introverted idiot who dared not say a word to the lively and cheerful Xu Sanduo he is now.
He was very relieved and happy inside, and he chatted with Xu Sanduo while drinking.
In the audience, only Chengcai, who was killed by Yuan Lang during the day and had been silent all the time, stood alone outside, watching the brothers in the audience drinking happily.
The expression on his face was very strange, and was incompatible with the entire atmosphere of the Seventh Steel Company.
After drinking three bottles of beer in a row, Jackie Chan was still not blushing and his heart was not beating. He saw Cheng Cai who was in a strange mood and knew why he was like this.
He stood up, holding a bottle of beer in one hand, and walked slowly to Chengcai.
He handed the beer over and said, "Chengcai, are you really prepared to do this?"
"What to do?"
Chengcai smiled awkwardly and took the offered beer with twinkling eyes.
"I'm your brother. I grew up watching you wear crotchless pants. You don't have to pretend to be shy in front of me. I already knew about the matter you asked someone to ask about the Red Third Company." Jackie Chan said directly.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
Chengcai smiled helplessly and accepted his fate. He collected his emotions and said seriously: "There are too many outstanding people in Gang Seventh Company, and the pressure of competition is too great.
I was eliminated again in the exercise and became a loser, without the capital to compete.
Brother, I really want to stay in the army and develop. Being a conscript is not my goal. Only by joining the Red Third Company can I guarantee that I can become a non-commissioned officer.
And I have already contacted him. The commander of the third red company welcomes me there at any time.
So, I have thought about it very clearly. I want to leave the 7th Steel Company and go to the 3rd Red Company for development. I will go there when I return to the company."
The number of non-commissioned officers in each company is limited, and when there are many outstanding people, internal competition is required.
Chengcai can still be transferred to a non-commissioned officer if he stays in the 7th Steel Company, but the probability of not being transferred to a non-commissioned officer is still 50%, and at most it will not exceed 70% even if he is fully employed.
He didn't dare to gamble with his own fate.
Because once he loses the bet and cannot come back, he has no choice but to retire from the Seventh Steel Company.
Cheng Cheng at this time is a refined egoist, and he cannot exchange his own destiny for the words "Don't abandon, don't give up."
Jackie Chan grew up watching Cheng Cai and tried to correct him as he grew up.
The lovely nature is really innate.
Seeing old age at the age of three is not nonsense.
All of Jackie Chan's corrective measures failed, and he realized that only by experiencing a devastating blow and completely subverting Cheng Cai's three views could he get back on track.
Jackie Chan was unable to achieve a subversive blow, so he could only leave it to Cheng Cai to "grow".
Now that Cheng Cai has decided to join the Third Red Company, the purpose is to stay in the army 100%, then Jackie Chan really has nothing to say.
I just asked tentatively: "Are you sure? No regrets?"
Chengcai's eyes were dull for a moment. It was obvious that the right side of his heart had stepped forward, but it was a pity that he was quickly stepped down by the other side.
His eyes gradually became firm, and he nodded heavily and said, "I will not regret any of my decisions."
"Fine."
Jackie Chan took off the cap of the beer bottle with his thumb, stretched it over and said: "You are an adult now, you can make your own choices.
We two brothers will be separated from now on. I drank this bottle as a practice for you. I wish you can go to the Red Third Company and all your wishes come true.
Come on, do it!”
Jackie Chan took the initiative to touch the bottle. Cheng Cai held the unopened beer bottle in his hand, raised his head and blew on the bottle, and finished showing off in a few seconds.
Cheng Cai couldn't open the beer cap with his thumb, but luckily there was an armored vehicle parked next to him.
He knocked the bottle cap off on the edge of the armored vehicle. Cheng Cai also imitated Jackie Chan by shaking the bottle and drinking in a showy way. As a result, after two sips, he choked and coughed violently.
Jackie Chan patted Cheng Cai on the shoulder, tilted his head towards the company commander and said, "Since we are leaving, let's take advantage of this opportunity to make an explanation before leaving."
"Um."
Chengcai nodded.
He didn't walk over immediately. He was very panicked and needed to calm down.
the other side.
Gao Cheng didn't know that the sniper he thought was good and wanted to become a noncommissioned officer was now ready to become a traitor and jump ship to his biggest competitor, the Red Third Company.
Gao Cheng, who had only drank two bottles of beer in total, was already a little tired, so he specially found the third squad leader Shi Jin.
"You are my best squad leader. You actually kept your word this time. You said you would take care of your own future. You did it. You did not betray my trust. Can you and Jackie Chan catch that old A?"
You've done a great job, I respect you."
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he quickly raised the cup and poured it into his mouth.
"No, no, no, company commander, you can't drink so much."
Shi Jin saw that the senior management was speechless and his body was shaking as he sat there. He obviously drank too much, so he quickly reached out and grabbed his cup.
"What are you doing? I'm very happy today and I must have a good time."
Gao Cheng went to grab the cup with eyes wide open. Shi Jin put the cup back and hid it, picked up the bottle and said, "It's been 9 years and you've always been very kind to me. I should give you this cup."
After saying that, Shi Jin grabbed the mouth of the bottle and drank it. He drank more than half of the bottle in one sip.
He is really grateful to Gao Cheng!
"Okay, man, you are handsome enough today. I will listen to you and stop drinking."
Thinking that Shi Jin's stay was basically stable, Gao Cheng's worries and concerns were relieved, and his mood became particularly comfortable.
But just when Gao Cheng's mood was at its highest, someone who made him miserable appeared.
"Company commander!"
Chengcai walked over with the bottle, feeling a little uncomfortable in his hands and feet. He stood next to Gao Cheng and said hello, not knowing how to say it.
Gao Cheng turned his head and saw that he was Cheng Cai, the only sniper in the entire company who had killed the opponent's sniper.
He said happily: "Hey, you are such a good boy, I must have a drink with you."
As he spoke, he looked for the cup on the table in a daze, completely forgetting that the cup was hidden by Shi Jin.
After searching for a long time but not finding it, he directly snatched Shi Jin's cup over, picked up the wine on the table and poured it while saying: "You're good, you performed really well today, I'll drink with you."
"This is the first cup, seven consecutive cups of toast."
Being a talented person does not mean respecting us for seven years. Obviously, he has already regarded himself as an outsider.
Gao Cheng was so confused that he didn't hear it, so he happily took the cup and started drinking.
"The second cup, to the company commander."
When he reached the second one, he immediately poured it into his mouth.
Shi Jin looked at it and smiled.
There were so many outstanding recruits in Gang 7th Company, and he was happy for the company commander.
Chengcai drank the second cup and immediately poured the third cup without stopping. He was afraid that he would be too slow and would not have the courage to speak out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This last third cup is a farewell to the bar."
"good!"
The company commander didn't react at first. He happily held the cup and was about to drink. But when he put the cup to his mouth, he felt something was wrong.
Even though he was drunk now, he could still hear that these words were inappropriate.
At the same time, people around him also heard it and felt that something was wrong with Chengcai's words. They stopped chatting and drinking and turned their attention to Chengcai.
The originally lively and lively atmosphere of the venue quickly dissipated.
"What? What farewell? Make it clear."
Gao Cheng stared at Chengcai with a serious look on his face.
"Company Commander, I'm going to another company. I've already contacted you. I'll leave when I get back. I'm sorry." Cheng Cai finished speaking with a strong breath.
"Bang~"
Gao Cheng slammed the cup on the table, and the beer in the cup splashed everywhere.
The whole scene fell silent instantly!
Rub it in for a moment.
Gao Cheng stood up from the chair and put his face to Chengcai's nose. Chengcai lowered his head and did not dare to look directly, so he forcefully pulled his head up.
With a face that was darker than carbon, he said in a cold voice: "Say it to me again."
Chengcai was really scared at first.
But he thought that he was no longer a member of the Seventh Steel Company. Company Commander Gao Cheng could not do anything with him. He didn't owe the Seventh Steel Company anything, so why should he be afraid?
Chengcai thought of this, straightened his back, looked up at Gao Cheng and replied loudly: "Company commander, I said, I'm going to another company, I'm leaving Gang 7th Company, all of this was done behind your back."
If Chengcai had reported it from the beginning, someone as arrogant as Gao Cheng would definitely not have forced him to stay.
But Chengcai did it secretly, which is betrayal.
Just a traitor!
The Seventh Steel Company has never had a traitor, but today it was in his hands.
All Gao Cheng's good mood disappeared in an instant.
He was even so angry that he couldn't stand still.
Shi Jin quickly ran over and hugged the company commander from behind, but the company commander pushed him away. He glared at Chengcai fiercely and pointed at Chengcai with his fingers.
In the end, he said three words: "Okay, very good."
Then he turned around and took long, unsteady steps, leaving a mess of chicken feathers all over the floor.
All the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company present, whether veterans, recruits or squad leaders, looked at Chengcai with eyes full of contempt and anger.
From this moment on.
Chengcai became the public enemy of the Seventh Steel Company, and there was no place for him in the Seventh Company.
Traitors are despised no matter where they are.
Chengcai had foreseen this for a long time. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he didn't think there was anything wrong with working hard for his dream.
He forced a smile to make himself look more free and easy, and left alone.
