Chapter 1194

On the large open space in front of the barracks, the Seventh Company soldiers gathered together to chat and laugh.

Shi Jin patted Wang Yan's arm: "Leaving, you work hard, don't you know where I'm going? Don't forget to write to me."

"Right, have to keep in touch often." Wu Liuyi said with a smile on the side.

"Stop it, aren't you just at the regimental headquarters, saying it as if you were ten thousand miles away. I can even live in your company."

Wu Liuyi laughed: "After you leave, I'll say it to you together."

"Wait for your partner to come over again, don't hide it, I'll treat you to dinner. At least recognize the person."

"Roll, roll, roll." Wu Liuyi waved his hand irritably.

At this time, Xu Sanduo walked over, he heard Wang Yan teasing Wu Liuyi, and also laughed.

Shi Jin walked two steps closer, supported Xu Sanduo's shoulders with both hands, and stared straight into his eyes: "Xu Sanduo, you have to remember, you are a good soldier, you are not a turtle son, not some three fools, you are Xu Sanduo, you can do well, can do better, do you know?"

"Yes, I am a good soldier." Xu Sanduo said very loudly.

"Look at how big the change is, when he first came, looking at him like that, I wanted to kick him to death. Now it's good, it looks much more pleasing to the eye." Wu Liuyi rubbed Xu Sanduo's head, very close.

He said, "You kid work hard, strive to be promoted later. We can't do it, you have great hope."

Wang Yan patted Wu Liuyi's arm; "Don't talk about him, he is more sensible than you. You have to pay attention in the future, don't be stubborn when your temper comes up. You should submit when you should. You already have many injuries, pay attention when training, ensure physical state, don't play with your life."

"Don't need you to say, I'm not stupid."

"You think you are very smart? You are the stupidest." Shi Jin laughed, "Wang Yan is right, fight when you should fight, don't fight blindly when you shouldn't. To be realistic, our treatment has improved now, your third term is no problem, these are all real money. You still have to marry a wife and have children, can't not consider those."

"Oh my, alright, alright, you guys can all be my dad."

"I don't have a son like you, annoying." Wang Yan waved his hand, full of disgust.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, went to say goodbye to Gao Cheng, Hong Xingguo, one by one got on the car and left, waving to Gao Cheng, Wang Yan, and Xu Sanduo...

The three stood silently on the open space, standing straight, watching the vehicles go away, until they disappeared.

Still standing.

For a long time, Gao Cheng let out a long breath and sighed: "Only the three of us are left."

Wang Yan said: "You are leaving soon too, anyway you are a Company Commander, your transfer is just a matter of these two days."

Their eyes didn't move, still looking at the direction where the comrades left.

Gao Cheng was silent, for a while, he waved his hand, turned and went back: "Alright, people are gone, what else is there to see? Go back."

He didn't look back, his steps were hurried, and he ran into the building and disappeared.

Xu Sanduo watched Gao Cheng's disappearing figure.

"Wang Yan."

"Hmm?"

"I feel like the Company Commander cried."

"No need to feel, he is just holding back, went back to secretly wipe tears."

"I cried too." Xu Sanduo said.

Wang Yan turned his head and looked at him, he really cried, tears couldn't stop flowing.

"It's okay." Wang Yan hugged his shoulders, "It feels better after crying."

"Doesn't feel good. Actually, I cried secretly last night. Didn't want to cry today, but couldn't hold it back."

"Crying is not embarrassing, cry when you should. Emotions need an outlet, crying will make you feel much better."

While speaking, Wang Yan lit a cigarette and smoked it himself.

Because he was going to be promoted, no more transfers were made for him. Xu Sanduo was like the reason in the original story, he had to stay to guard the barracks and wait for the handover. Gao Cheng was like what he just said, the new transfer hadn't come down yet.

In this regard, the Regimental Commander had to communicate with Gao Cheng's father. And Gao Cheng, subjectively, also wanted to send away the Seventh Company soldiers, so it was delayed for a period of time. But in fact, his arrangement was long decided...

Speaking of which, Xu Sanduo's growth, the two most important nodes, one was in the grassland Fifth Squad, and the other was the period of time after the Seventh Company dispersed, when he alone guarded the barracks and equipment.

In these two periods of time, he endured loneliness, learned to stick to it, and tempered his spiritual will, which made him grow.

However, because of Wang Yan's appearance, he encouraged him early, strengthened his spirit, and drove his growth. He had already become a good soldier and an excellent soldier in the past two years...

Of course, there is another difference, that is Gao Cheng's attitude toward Xu Sanduo. In the original story, the two had a lot of excitement at this time, it was confrontation with each other, and also confrontation with themselves. Now, Gao Cheng had long changed his view of Xu Sanduo, and Xu Sanduo had become a top soldier, winning many honors. He participated in a large-scale competition once, and in the group army, he was the second and third in many subjects.

Gao Cheng of course didn't make things difficult for Xu Sanduo again, mutual understanding...

Quiet for a while, Wang Yan's cigarette was finished, and Xu Sanduo also wiped his tears and stopped crying.

"Be a soldier for one day, stand guard for one day. Even if there is no collective training now, we cannot relax ourselves, we must still strictly require ourselves and fulfill our duties as a soldier."

Wang Yan shouted, "Xu Sanduo!"

"Yes!"

"What subjects should we practice?"

"Four hundred meter obstacle, push-ups, ten kilometers with light equipment, four hundred meter frog jump."

"Good! Target playground, run forward."

"Yes!"

"Turn right! Run, march!"

Following Wang Yan's command, the two ran toward the playground.

The playground at this time was empty, empty as never before, empty to the point that there were only Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo on the playground.

The two ran on the playground, performing various physical training, strictly requiring themselves, constantly breaking through limits...

Trained until lunch time, the two went back to find Gao Cheng, and as expected, Gao Cheng didn't open the door, only said he wouldn't eat, and indicated that he should be left alone for a while, don't disturb him.

So Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo went to the canteen to eat.

The two stood in line, Wang Yan behind Xu Sanduo.

It was currently the song-singing session before the meal, various companies singing, when it reached Xu Sanduo here, he pulled his throat without thinking.

"There is a truth~ no need to speak! Ready~ start!"

So Wang Yan also sang the military song with Xu Sanduo, only two people, but the sound was not weak, and the momentum was not lost.

"Wang Yan, come, come, come, you two sit here, let's eat together."

Familiar officers greeted Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't refuse, and took Xu Sanduo to sit over.

During the meal, they of course persuaded Wang Yan.

It wasn't that Xu Sanduo and Wang Yan's actions were bad, but they were too good, so good that as long as people thought of that scene, they would tremble all over, piercing the soul, they couldn't stand it.

Wang Yan didn't intend to sing, it was Xu Sanduo who insisted, so he echoed. He of course didn't lack the spirit of persistence, didn't lack perseverance and character, but he actually didn't have this kind of persistence of Xu Sanduo, and he would never have it.

Because, only he knew, he had always been an outsider...

Apart from these, it was everyone chatting and laughing. Wang Yan still had a lot of face, everyone wanted to chat with him. He would also chat, so people were willing to chat with him.

Xu Sanduo didn't have so many words, he wasn't a person with few words, but he wasn't many...

After eating lunch like this, and bringing a portion for Gao Cheng, as expected, Gao Cheng didn't open the door. Putting the meal at Gao Cheng's door, the two returned to the dormitory for a nap.

Wang Yan moved his luggage directly to the Third Squad, next to Xu Sanduo's bed, both were lower bunks.

Xu Sanduo put his hands behind his head, turned his head to look at Wang Yan who was leaning against the wall reading a book next to him: "You say the Company Commander hasn't finished crying yet?"

"He loves the Seventh Company more than anyone. The Seventh Company dispersed, the most uncomfortable is him, especially when he locks himself in the room, lying there thinking, definitely the more he thinks, the more uncomfortable he is, crying for a day is normal."

Xu Sanduo let out a long breath, full of sorrow...

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"Can't sleep."

"Can't sleep, squint." Wang Yan turned a page, "The time ahead is still long, wait until I leave, you are alone, then can you not sleep every day? You will get used to it."

The two chatted one after another, halfway Xu Sanduo got up and went out, came back and happily told Wang Yan that Gao Cheng took the meal in.

Wang Yan smiled and didn't say anything.

Gao Cheng didn't necessarily want to eat, but the meal was brought back, and food couldn't be wasted, this is a principle that all soldiers know and follow. So even if he wasn't hungry, Gao Cheng would still eat...

In the afternoon, Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo went to practice tactics and shooting. It was another busy afternoon, just finding something to do for themselves.

Actually, the two of them insisting on training now is the same thing as Xu Sanduo insisting on building roads in the grassland Fifth Squad. It is also the same thing as the card playing of the Fifth Squad crowd before. Of course, comparing things with things, there are also differences. Using the words that Xu Sanduo has kept on his lips since he learned, it is whether it has meaning.

Undoubtedly, what the two are doing now has meaning.

This is what Xu Sanduo shared with Wang Yan while laughing honestly during shooting...

At dinner time, Gao Cheng still didn't come out, the two still brought food for Gao Cheng, and Gao Cheng still ate the meal. Until before lights out, Gao Cheng finally had movement.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he came to the door of the Third Squad, looking at the two people soaking their feet inside.

"Why, what are you two doing not sleeping?"

Hearing the movement of the wake-up bugle, Gao Cheng, who woke up in a daze, saw Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo folding quilts and putting on clothes, and he sat up.

Xu Sanduo replied: "Morning exercise, Company Commander. Wang Yan said, be a soldier for one day, stand guard for one day, must strictly require oneself, cannot slack off."

Gao Cheng paused, then turned to look at Wang Yan on the side, who nodded with a smile in response.

Gao Cheng let out a long breath, rubbing his head hard.

"Damn!"

He scolded powerlessly.

Wang Yan laughed: "Go out and breathe some fresh air. Life lies in movement, officers cannot relax physical training either. Let's go, Company Commander, go run ten kilometers, all troubles will be gone."

"Then can I sleep?" Gao Cheng was helpless.

He had to get up and put on clothes, following Wang Yan and the two to go out for morning exercise.

The three were in a row, Wang Yan in the lead, Xu Sanduo second, Gao Cheng at the back. Wang Yan suppressed the speed, took care of Gao Cheng, so that Gao Cheng could keep up.

The first four hundred meters, as he accelerated, and then slowed down, he had already grasped Gao Cheng's limit. So although he suppressed the speed, it was basically stuck at Gao Cheng's limit.

The three were relatively conspicuous among the few people out for exercise on the playground. They ran past circle after circle so quickly.

After ten kilometers like this, Wang Yan had no influence, Xu Sanduo sweated, and his breathing was slightly rapid. Gao Cheng was much worse, lying on the ground panting heavily, his hair was soaked from running.

"Company Commander, this won't do, your physical quality has declined. Remember when I first came, you ran faster than now."

"My state is not good."

"This is a reason, but I can't refute it."

"Get lost, I'm telling the truth, didn't find a reason."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, walked and lined up to eat breakfast. Still like yesterday, Xu Sanduo sang the military song again. Gao Cheng endured the soul-trembling feeling, followed Xu Sanduo and sang together, no matter what others said, he had to finish singing.

During the meal, they were still eating with other officers. During the meal, Gao Cheng also knew about the persistence of Xu Sanduo and Wang Yan yesterday. He seemed to have nothing, scolded Xu Sanduo and Wang Yan as fools, and chatted and laughed with other officers. But for a moment, his eyes were full of tears, and the few words he said were also trembling. If anyone said something slightly sad, he would cry at any time.

But no one said it, so Gao Cheng held it back, as if nothing had happened, and the three of them never talked about this topic again.

After breakfast, Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo carried out physical training as usual, Gao Cheng followed and did it without anything to do. Doing training with two soldier kings is very torturous. Physical torture, spiritual torture even more.

Because everyone is human, how can others be so amazing? Gao Cheng is a soldier first, and an officer second. These two soldiers are one more amazing than the other, he is gratified and heartbroken.

Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo had no feeling, still carrying out training as usual. Wang Yan knew that Xu Sanduo liked training. As for himself, he was just finding something to do.

After all, this level of training had no more progress for him, just moving his body and maintaining vitality.

Just like this until lunch time, halfway through the meal, Gao Cheng was called away by someone sent by the Regimental Commander, and didn't come back for lunch.

When Wang Yan and the two returned to the dormitory, they saw Gao Cheng again.

He had already packed the bedding he took to the Third Squad yesterday, changed into regular clothes, and put on his big-brimmed hat.

"Back." He greeted the two unnaturally.

"There's a transfer, right?" Wang Yan asked with a smile, and took out a cigarette to light for Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng nodded, smoked two puffs, and said: "Deputy Battalion Commander of the Division Reconnaissance Battalion."

"This time it's really two chevrons, good thing."

Xu Sanduo didn't speak, lowering his head silently.

Wang Yan patted him: "The Company Commander has been promoted, say something, give an attitude."

Xu Sanduo raised his head, staring straight at Gao Cheng, that gaze made Gao Cheng uncomfortable.

He whispered: "Wish the Company Commander to be a big official in the future."

"Look, Comrade Xu Sanduo has a level, simple and direct." Wang Yan laughed, "Wish you, this tiger son of a general, to be better than blue."

Gao Cheng laughed: "Damn, scolding me?"

"Sincere blessing." Wang Yan laughed.

Gao Cheng waved his hand, went back to get his speaker and a pile of discs.

"This is for you two, listen to songs when you have nothing to do, cultivate sentiment. Consider it a gift I left for you."

At this time, he had already packed his backpack.

"Alright, just say so much. Big men, don't be wishy-washy. Find me if you have anything in the future, if it can be handled, handle it, if not, I'll think of a way. Leaving, don't send me off."

After speaking, Gao Cheng turned around suddenly and ran away quickly.

"Company Commander!" Xu Sanduo suddenly shouted.

Gao Cheng stopped at the corner of the stairs, looked up at Xu Sanduo, was silent for a moment, and smiled: "Xu Sanduo, you are a good soldier, work hard."

Then he didn't stop, and ran out directly...

On the open space in front of the barracks, Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo watched the direction Gao Cheng left together, there was only one road there, and there was no shadow of Gao Cheng. The soul of the Seventh Company, Gao Cheng, finally left the Seventh Company he loved most, almost in a way of escaping.

Xu Sanduo let out a long breath: "Wang Yan, only the two of us are left in the Seventh Company."

"Don't say such things, the Seventh Company people are all living well. Leaving, go back and nap. Continue training in the afternoon."

The two returned to the dormitory, Wang Yan took a book to read, Xu Sanduo packed the bed to the lower bunk, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the bed board of the upper bunk.

"Cheng Cai wrote to me two days ago."

Maybe he wanted to find some words to say, Wang Yan replied with a hmm, and asked: "What did he say?"

"He signed as a non-commissioned officer, you definitely don't know where he went to be a Squad Leader."
