My Military Career in a Parallel World

October st.

The fourth day of the ninth lunar month.

National Day!

Perhaps it was calculated in advance, the day when Jiang Chen and his group of new recruits arrived at the army was the August 1st Army Day.

On Army Day, the enlistment of new soldiers is also a very good omen.

The last month in the recruit company coincided with the National Day.

This is also their first National Day in the army.

When they first received the news, the recruits were very excited, not for any other reason, but simply because the National Day holiday allowed them to relax their tense nerves.

Since entering the second month of recruit company, they have not relaxed for a long time. Every day when they open their eyes, they train. In addition, the squad leaders always talk about the new recruit assessment, so they have to be tense all the time...

Even on weekends they don't have much rest time. It's still okay for recruits like Jiang Chen who have good grades, as they can at least have a two-hour rest on weekends, but the others can't.

Chu Fei hasn't contacted his girlfriend for almost a month, which shows how heavy the training for the new recruits is.

So, when they heard that there would be a three-day holiday for National Day, all the recruits shouted out in excitement. They were all overjoyed, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on their hearts disappeared in an instant.

When going to bed at night, everyone was so excited that they could not fall asleep, as all they could think about was the National Day holiday.

At 5:30 in the morning, squad leaders called the new recruits to get up on time.

That's how it is in the military. Having a holiday doesn't mean you can sleep in. At most, there will be less daily training, and there will be some more entertainment activities during the morning and afternoon drills, and after the evening news broadcast.

Although today is not Monday, raising the flag on National Day is an indispensable ceremony.

Today is different from the past. The flag-raising ceremony on National Day is much more grand. Dozens of guards holding steel guns march with firm steps, escorting the bright red flag slowly towards the flagpole.

“March in step!!”

tread!tread!tread!

They were clearly a team of more than a dozen people, but their movements were as if they were one person. Every time they took a step forward, only one footstep could be heard. The only difference was that the sound was very loud, so loud that even Jiang Chen and others who were nearly a hundred meters away from the flagpole could hear it clearly.

"Salute the flag!!!!"

After the flag-raising ceremony, the regiment commander, political commissar, chief of staff and other regiment leaders took turns to speak on the stage. Finally, everyone faced the national flag and swore an oath together. Only then did the flag-raising ceremony end.

After breakfast, the recruits were not idle in the morning. Everyone was assigned a task. Some stayed to clean, while others carried small yellow basins to the canteen.

She can go to the battlefield and work in the kitchen.

During every festival, we would take a small yellow basin to the kitchen to help make dumplings. This can be considered a small feature of the army.

For the new recruits, as long as they don’t have to do training, they can do anything, not to mention cleaning, cooking and making dumplings, they are even happy to clean dry toilets!

The recruits were busy with sanitation and errands in the morning, and it was not until the afternoon that they felt the real festive atmosphere.

Tug of war, basketball, table tennis, and even group play in the computer room to play CS, the recruits had a lot of fun the whole afternoon. The fatigue and tense nerves accumulated before seemed to be released at this moment.

In the evening, after the news broadcast ended, the company organized a dinner party and a bonfire dinner.

The new recruits whose birthday fell on October 1st also received a small cake.

Lu Ming took out his treasured digital camera and took photos with everyone in turn. They sang birthday songs and listened to the blessings from their comrades. Many people experienced for the first time what comradeship was.

A large number of the recruits present were only children, and they may have never experienced the scene of so many people celebrating their birthdays together since childhood.

After the bonfire dinner, the recruits helped clean up and happily returned to the dormitory. Just as they were about to take off their clothes and go to bed, they heard the squad leader suddenly say:

"Your life in the recruit company has come to an end, and you have been taught everything you need to be taught.

Although you may still be lacking in some aspects, I think you can barely fulfill the role of a soldier.

Since you are a soldier, you must do your own things and be responsible for your own safety!"

The new recruits were completely confused and had no idea what the squad leader meant.

Fortunately, the squad leaders did not continue to beat around the bush and immediately said, "So, starting today, you will also have to participate in the guard patrol mission."

Yes, it makes sense for a soldier not to stand guard or patrol.

Previously, they were all new recruits who had just joined the army, so it was naturally impossible for the army to arrange them to stand guard.

To this end, the regiment also specially arranged two squads of soldiers to be responsible for the sentry, guard and patrol work of the recruit company.

Now, seeing that the recruit company is about to end, after being assigned to the company, these new recruits will also join the guard and patrol team, so it is time for the new recruits to experience and adapt to the guard and patrol work in advance.

As he spoke, Li Gang took out a sentry rotation schedule that had been prepared long ago.

"There are limited positions, so you will take turns every hour."

"Jiang Chen, you are the deputy monitor!

The fine tradition of our army has always been to be brave and dedicated. As the deputy squad leader, your guard duty time is set between 2 and 3 in the morning!"

"Yes!"

Although he was saying "mmp" a thousand times in his heart, Jiang Chen still maintained a serious expression on his face, stood at attention, saluted and responded loudly.

Li Ganggang didn't care what he was thinking. He nodded with satisfaction and continued to arrange the guard time for others.

"Sun Weicheng!"

"To!"

"You will be on the first shift from ten to eleven!"

"Yes!"

"Zhang Meng, you will be on duty from eleven to twelve o'clock!"

"Yes!"

"He Wenjie, from twelve to one..."

Although I have never been on guard duty, it does not prevent me from distinguishing between good and bad.

There is no doubt that the first and last shifts are the most comfortable. One can go straight back to sleep after standing without worrying about being forced to get up in the middle of the night, not to mention the other. It is generally recognized that the most comfortable guard duty in the army is during this time period.

The most painful time is undoubtedly between 2 and 4 in the morning, when it is stuck in the middle.

This period of time is the time of the day when people are most sleepy, and being dragged out of their sleep is already hard enough.

After returning from guard duty, he faced an even more embarrassing choice.

It’s three or four in the morning, and there’s only more than an hour left until the 5:30 wake-up time. Will you sleep or not?

After writing for a long time, I finally fell asleep, but...

It's painful just to think about it.

After Li Gang arranged the sentries, everyone looked at Jiang Chen and Chu Fei with sympathy.

Jiang Chen was fine. At most he just lost some time for studying at night. Although he still felt very uncomfortable, he could still accept it.

But Chu Fei couldn't do that.
