After listening to Liu Jintang's words, the students all fell into deep thought, and no one stood up casually.
They need to think.
Similarly, they also need to define their own identity.
A simple platoon leader cannot attract them, but the 'platoon leader' here is extraordinary. As Liu Jintang said, being a platoon leader means shouldering responsibilities, and can any one of them convince any student?
Obviously, not everyone can.
Everyone is thinking, but no one has come forward yet.
When Liu Jintang saw this, he frowned again and shouted loudly: "I asked you to position yourself. Does it mean that everyone feels that they are not good enough and dare not stand up, or that all of you are loners?" , everyone has no interaction with others. If it were me, I would definitely quickly figure out how many people I can command and how many people I can convince. It’s very simple.”
Everyone is meditating, which is a good thing.
However, Liu Jintang does not want everyone to think that he is not suitable.
A twenty-year-old young man stood up. He stood in front of Liu Jintang with his head raised and his chest raised. His expression was serious and he said loudly and forcefully: "Brigadier Liu, I am willing to serve as the platoon leader."
"Brigade commander, I am qualified to be the platoon commander."
In the blink of an eye, another young man stood up and said.
Immediately, three people stood up in succession.
As a result, there are already five people who want to be platoon leaders, but Liu Jintang only gave three places, and currently there are two more places. Liu Jintang looked calm, and it was hard to tell what was going on in his heart. His eyes were on The students passed by and asked: "Besides the five of them, is there anyone else?"
There was silence among the students, and no one answered.
Liu Jintang said: "Since no one answered, then no one will nominate themselves. Among the five people, three will stay and the other two will be defeated. It is up to you to choose. Whoever you choose to support will be on whose side. In the end , the three people with the most support will serve as platoon leaders. Choose immediately without any hesitation. After we enter the mountains and forests, the battle has begun. Time is life. If we delay a little longer, we will consume more lives."
The students started the team, and within five minutes, they were all finished.
The two eliminated students had a look of sadness on their brows, but they quickly calmed down and returned to stand in the queue. The remaining three people stood in front of Liu Jintang, even more excited.
Liu Jintang said: "State your names."
The student standing first on the left raised his hand in salute and reported: "Sir, my name is John."
The second person reported: "Robert."
A third person reported: "Joseph."
Liu Jintang nodded with satisfaction and said: "John, Robert, and Joseph, I have remembered it. Now, the three of you are the grassroots commanders of this team. John serves as the first platoon leader, commanding thirty trainees; Robert serves as the second The platoon leader commands thirty students; Joseph serves as the third platoon leader and commands the last thirty students. Our team currently has this arrangement. The platoon leader is responsible for the students below, and I am responsible for the three platoon leaders. understand."
"clear."
The three people agreed in unison, all extremely excited.
Liu Jintang immediately assigned the ninety students to three platoons, but there were one hundred students. After excluding the three platoon leaders, there were still seven students left. They all stood nearby, which made the seven students very uncomfortable. They were puzzled, but they began to guess that they might be following Liu Jintang on the mission if they stayed alone. This was undoubtedly the best choice.
Therefore, the seven students remained silent and waited quietly.
Liu Jintang changed the subject and said loudly: "Now, you are no longer students, but soldiers of this war. I hope you can adapt to your new status as soon as possible. Don't regard yourself as students, but as if you are on the battlefield." Soldiers on the battlefield may never return, so be careful in everything you do."
Platoon leader John asked: "Brigade commander, what are we going to do next?"
Liu Jintang smiled and said: "Next, all soldiers will hand over the dry food for the next two days. I will make unified arrangements for every subsequent meal."
Instantly, there was discussion among the students.
Liu Jintang said in a deep voice: "What's wrong? If you are dissatisfied, just say it."
The platoon leader took out the dry food for the next two days without hesitation and said loudly: "Brigadier, this is two days' worth of dry food."
Robert, the second platoon leader, stood up, handed over the dry food in his hand, and said, "Brigadier, I am willing to hand it over."
Third platoon leader Joseph said: "Brigade commander, I am willing to hand it over."
The three platoon leaders took the lead in handing over the grain for the next two days, which made Liu Jintang quite pleased. These three boys were not bad. Liu Jintang asked the three of them to put the grain on the ground, and then looked at the remaining students.
Seeing this, the other students no longer objected and took out two-thirds of the food and handed it over.
In a short time, all the food for one hundred people had been piled on the ground.
Liu Jintang looked at the seven students who had not been assigned before and said: "The seven of you are now responsible for the logistics work of our team. All the food for these 100 people will be handed over to you. At the same time, the seven of you are directly responsible for This person is Chen Yucheng." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Yucheng.
Chen Yucheng stood up and raised his hand to salute the seven students.
When the seven students saw Chen Yucheng, they were very reluctant.
Liu Jintang said with a straight face: "Brigadier Chen has rich experience and is a veteran on the battlefield. I have been in the army for six years, but he has been in the army for ten years and is far more powerful than me. He has experienced countless battles, big and small. You will not suffer any disadvantages by following him. , learn more, it will be helpful to you.”
In an instant, the seven students were all smiling.
The look in Chen Yucheng's eyes changed immediately.
Liu Jintang has figured out the lifeblood of the students. These students who have not yet graduated have a very simple idea, that is, they worship the strong. As soon as Liu Jintang told Chen Yucheng's story, the situation immediately changed.
Chen Yucheng did his part and asked seven soldiers to sort out the food.
Liu Jintang's eyes returned to the three platoon leaders and said: "This battle is not a hand-to-hand battle or a hand-to-hand battle, so it will not be a head-to-head battle. Therefore, the two sides may prolong the confrontation and then choose the opportunity to act. This confrontation may last two days, three days, or five days, so food becomes very important."
"I asked you to hand over two days of food, but I also left you one day of food. Please remember clearly that this day's food must be divided into two days, or even more days. In the next two days, , it is impossible for you to have food replenishment, so please grasp the food in your hands and do not eat it all in one bite."
Liu Jintang looked serious, with a sharp look in his eyes.
The students nodded and admired Liu Jintang's decision.
Liu Jintang completed the initial arrangements, waved his hand and said: "The basic arrangements have been completed. Next, we are preparing for this battle. I firmly believe that we will win. How about you?"
"We must win." All the students nodded.
Liu Jintang took a hundred students with him and quickly walked into the mountains and forests.
