An Yi has seen contempt and anger on the faces of many officers. He doesn't know why the officers are doing this, but he still answers truthfully:
"Reporting to the commander, the second district team fully complied with the planned tasks and field regulations required by the school headquarters. It did not receive any prior notice from the superiors to inspect the position, and did not all gather in line to welcome the arrival of the superiors. Please forgive me! All students are 75 per person.
On their own positions, except for myself and the eighteen students who have just changed posts, the other students are sticking to their posts. Report completed!"
Li Jishen was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at the position again. Looking back, he saw that there was no trace of guilt or panic on An Yi's face, and he immediately hesitated.
However, Xiong Xiong, the deputy director of the Political Department, was first affected by Instructor Yu's erroneous report, and now he saw the grass everywhere and no one at all. An Yi in front of him was still talking so brazenly and plausibly, which made him very angry and said angrily: "An Yi,
You ignore the military law and disrespect the regulations, and use your sweet words to deceive the officials. Do you know that our military law in Huangpu is as good as a mountain?"
An Yi was stunned. He looked at Xiong Xiong and then at Li Jishen: "What... what on earth is going on? I..."
Li Jishen raised his hand decisively to stop everyone from talking, stared at An Yi sternly and shouted an order: "An Yi listen to the order!"
"Students are here!"
"Blow the emergency muster whistle immediately!"
"yes!"
An Yi turned to Zhang Tianyi who was at a loss and ordered loudly: "Zhang Tianyi listens to the order and blows the emergency assembly whistle!"
"Yes - beep -"
A sharp and long whistle sounded, and the scenes that followed stunned a group of senior officers, accompanying adjutants, and guards platoon officers and soldiers:
The camouflage nets that looked so real were quickly lifted, and well-armed and vigorous figures emerged from under the vegetation and quickly assembled.
What surprised Sheng Sheng and Li Jishen was that in addition to the fixed sentry posts on the west side of the position that everyone saw, a row of bamboo shoots on the east side also slowly fell down.
They flew down, landed smoothly, and then quickly ran to the assembly point. What made these officials even more unbelievable was that a hidden whistle covered in camouflage nets that looked like a clump of grass actually shook off under the embankment where they were standing.
Covered in mud, he jumped onto the embankment and ran to the middle of the team with several strides. The three team leaders quickly assembled their teams and issued orders one after another. The loud voices of the three groups of students reported the numbers in an endless stream: "One, two, three...
…”
After the count was completed, An Yi turned around and ran to stand three meters in front of Li Jishen and stood at attention: "Reporting to the commander, the second district team of the engineering brigade has been assembled. Seventy-five people should be present, but seventy-five people are actually present. The report is completed! Please give instructions, sir!"
Acting District Captain An Yi!"
Li Jishen's face was filled with a happy smile, while the other officials had different expressions, either surprised or thoughtful.
From the moment Hu Lin, a weathered engineering consultant, took off his camouflage from the trench, he was moved speechless by his students. He couldn't help but run into the grass alone, and pulled up a piece of grass tied with dead grass and pockmarked skin.
He cheered loudly with Qiao Muye's fishing net, and words such as "unimaginable" and "unbelievable" kept coming out of his mouth. Finally, he jumped over the sandbags and jumped into the trench, watching as he walked. Finally, he walked faster and faster, crossing the top of his textbook.
The recorded zigzag trench jumped up the camouflage net on the mountain, quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, and shouted to An Yi on the river embankment: "An Yi, you are a genius——"
Half an hour later, the officers, covered with grass clippings and dust, and with mud on their riding boots, walked out of the eastern entrance of the trench with satisfaction and surprise. Hu Lin, who was in charge of explaining and evaluating the position along the way, was full of joy, except for some areas.
In addition to some operational problems with the depth and the construction of anti-gun bunkers, Hu Lin was so satisfied that he even announced loudly in front of all the officers:
"I want to change my teaching plan. There is no need for this group of students to study the previous elementary textbooks. It would be a waste of their youth!"
The officers returned to the queue of seventy-five members of the Second District Team and scanned every young and proud face with eyes full of praise, appreciation, surprise, and concern.
Xiong Xiong looked apologetically at the expressionless An Yi at the head of the team, hesitated a little, then stepped over and patted An Yi's shoulder gently, and whispered to An Yi:
"I'm sorry, I listened to my subordinates' reports and wrongly blamed you. An Yi, you are excellent!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, sir!"
An Yi also replied in a low voice. When the officers walked into the trench, he had already reacted and knew that someone must be causing trouble behind the scenes.
Li Jishen came to An Yi and looked at this handsome smiling face quietly: "You are always surprising, I am very pleased, remember to continue to carry forward!"
"yes!"
Li Jishen returned to the front of the team, scanned every face, and said loudly in his powerful and concise habitual tone: "Today, all the officers and I came for a surprise inspection, and we are very satisfied! You have proved your ability with practical actions.
Thanks to your autonomy and strong enterprising spirit, you are able to complete such a large workload in just ten days. It is amazing. You are worthy of being the pacesetter group of this year! After you return, we will judge your outstanding performance and
Give you the rewards you deserve!"
"Stand at attention! Salute!"
When An Yi saw that the officials were leaving, he immediately sent an order, and the officials left with satisfaction.
Walking to a flat place, he caught up with Li Jishen in a few strides and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ren (Li Jishen, also known as Ren Chao), can you transfer An Yi to my command? Mr. Ren knows that our department is about to expand.
My engineer battalion commander hasn’t been found yet.”
Li Jishen smiled slightly: "Then we have to wait until he graduates, right? Besides, you have to go to the principal for this matter. I can't say anything about such a talent alone! Haha!"
"Oh, how can I still have a role to play then..." He sighed seriously, looked back, and saw An Yi still standing upright in front of the team, watching his party leave.
The steamboat became smaller and smaller as it sailed downstream. The brothers shouted excitedly, beat each other's chests and bellies, and laughed happily. No one expected such a surprise. Their abilities were proved and their dedication was proved.
Being recognized and presumably receiving a hefty bonus, why wouldn't the brothers be overjoyed?
Zhang Tianyi walked to An Yi and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at? The boat has gone far."
An Yi nodded: "I didn't expect so many officers to arrive suddenly. It seems that I will have to be more careful in the future."
"Why, are you still thinking about who is behind the scenes? Don't worry, the troublemakers may not be able to end it now. So many superiors mobilized their troops to come in person, as well as Russian consultants, even if they try to minimize this matter, Vice Principal Li lectured
Although it was said to be a surprise inspection, but thinking about the way a group of officers started to investigate when they first came ashore, I guessed that the old man was looking out for the overall situation and giving face to someone. However, judging from his upright and rigorous character, I am afraid that once he returns,
He’s about to get angry.”
Zhang Tianyi's brain is much more delicate than his rough appearance.
An Yi said with a smile: "Let this matter be over and let's not talk about it anymore. However, I doubt that you, a guy who lost so much that he was almost used as underwear, will steal my cigarettes after you go back?"
Zhang Tianyi didn't care: "Haha! What does it matter if you don't have money? I'm committed to you. I'll go wherever you go. I eat and drink spicy food all day long. Looking at Huangpu and even the entire army, who has such a prosperous life?"
