My Military Career in a Parallel World

Chapter 178 Regret!

"Damn, these animals are too good at pooping. Aren't they supposed to clean up every day? Why are there still so much pig manure? Could it be that they knew we were coming today and deliberately made trouble for us?"

Fang Zheng complained while swinging the shovel.

"Haha, these beasts just eat and sleep, sleep and eat every day. If they eat more, they will naturally poop more." A soldier from the production company said with a smile.

"Alright, hurry up. The kitchen staff should be here by now. Let's finish and go back to eat. We're starving to death."

"Old Tang, you are too careless. You are still thinking about eating at this time. I am in no mood to eat just by smelling this."

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, Wang Jie said unhappily, "Okay, that's what you said. You'd better not eat later. Today we will definitely do more than just feed the pigs and clean up the pig manure. We can't miss our daily exercises. Just don't complain of hunger when the time comes!"

"No, class deputy, I just said it casually."

"You two, stop chatting and get to work!"

Although they were chatting, their hands were not slowing down at all.

There’s nothing I can do. I’m really hungry!

I have run so far so early in the morning. I have just set up the tent, cooked pig food, and cleaned up pig manure. It is almost noon and I haven't had breakfast yet. I would be strange if I am not hungry.

This is the case now. If it had been during the field survival exercise two days ago, I'm afraid someone would have been unable to resist taking action when they were cooking pig food just now.

Don't think this is impossible. Back then in the wild, Jiang Chen and his friends even dared to eat insects raw, not to mention that the main ingredients were cabbage and cornmeal, and they also cooked hot pig food.

At least it tastes better than eating raw insects and earthworms...

"It's finally done. Damn it, raising pigs isn't much easier than training!" Looking at the manure pile that was finally cleaned up, Lu Xingwang didn't care about his slightly dirty cuffs, wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke.

"Haha, I'd rather run five kilometers than clean up pig manure. It's tiring, but it's better than having my nose suffer."

"Okay, stop nagging, you can't stand it?

Don't forget that we still have to stay here for a month, so get used to it as soon as possible, because we will have to deal with them many times in the future." Zhang Ming came over and patted the two on the shoulders, smiling and comforting them.

"Wow, the Elite Scouts are really fast, they finished it so quickly?

Elites are indeed elites, they are fast at doing anything!"

As they were talking, the non-commissioned officer who had brought them here earlier came over, still making the same strange noise as before.

Jiang Chen and others, including squad leader Li Gang, didn't even look at him and pretended they heard nothing.

After what happened just now, they finally understood.

To put it nicely, these guys are just trash, to put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of useless people. Anyway, they have come to such a damn place as the production company, so they don't care about anything else.

It's useless to say more to them.

"Captain Liu, we are done here and we have to go to have breakfast. Don't forget to bring the brothers from the production company to watch our training later."

"I almost forgot that you haven't eaten yet. I'm so sorry, but we can only eat so early because of you. Usually, we have to feed these animals first before the brothers have time to eat.

Go eat quickly, because after dinner you still have to carry manure to fertilize the vegetable fields."

Squad leader Liu didn't respond at all, and talked about other things. Before leaving, he didn't forget to disgust everyone.

When the people in Class 3 heard this, veins popped up on their foreheads. If military discipline and law had not been ingrained in their bones, they would have wanted to rush up and beat this guy up.

After all this fuss, it turns out that these jobs were deliberately left to them!

Not only that, from what he said, it seemed like there would be work waiting for them later.

When everyone in Class 3 came to their senses, their faces looked unhappy, and some even started swearing on the spot.

However, in the end everyone endured it.

There's no way to deal with these guys. I can't really drag them to the training ground and beat them up.

Moreover, since the battalion commander asked them to come to the production company to "experience life", they would have to do these things sooner or later and no one could avoid it.

It's really not worth it to be punished for a bunch of useless people.

Li Gang led everyone away quickly.

The originally desolate and messy open space has completely changed its appearance. Tents have appeared in an orderly manner like mushrooms after a rain, and wisps of white smoke are rising from the top of one of the large tents.

The kitchen staff has arrived.

approach.

Jiang Chen also saw the fat boy Sun Weicheng who was busy in the tent.

"Report, squad three has completed the mission and requests to return to the team!" Li Gang brought everyone to the company commander.

When they got closer, Jiang Chen clearly saw that the company commander, who had originally had a serious face, twitched his nose slightly.

They had to cook pig food and clean up pig manure. Although everyone had simply cleaned up before coming out, the smell on their clothes and bodies could not disappear so quickly.

A faint smell of feces still lingers.

"Okay, let's get back to the team. We'll start training right after breakfast. Tell everyone else to change into their PE uniforms."

"Yes!"

……

Today was the latest breakfast Jiang Chen had since he joined the army.

It was half past ten before I finally had my first bite of food of the day.

"Brother Chen, I heard from the squad leader that you performed really well in this exercise. You ranked third in the entire company. That's amazing!"

While eating breakfast, the fat boy Sun Weichen came over with the bowl in his hand after finishing his work.

The result of this exercise was beyond everyone's expectations.

The first is naturally that as scouts, they always thought they were the boss, second to heaven, second to earth, and third to me, but they actually lost so badly that it is no exaggeration to say that they had no power to fight back.

The second one was about a rookie who had been in the company for less than a month. When the individual kills were counted after the exercise, he was actually ranked in the top three.

They had nothing to say about being surpassed by Class 2, which was already the spearhead class, and they could even tolerate being suppressed by fellow veterans such as Tang Junjie.

However, being stepped on by a rookie really made these old soldiers who used to think they were invincible feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the old soldiers who usually complained about the new recruits' long balls and short balls open-mouthed in shock and covered in dust, Sun Weichen, who was also a new recruit, was very excited.

As soon as he got some free time, he ran over to Jiang Chen to share this matter.

Holding the bowl, Jiang Chen drank the porridge in the bowl in one breath, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Haha, what's the use? I still have to raise pigs and farm."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen tugged at his collar. He didn't feel anything before, but his sense of smell gradually recovered over time. Without anyone telling him, Jiang Chen could smell the fecal odor emanating from his body, which could not be suppressed even by changing clothes.

In order not to disturb other comrades who were eating, the members of Class 3 consciously squatted outside the tent with their bowls of rice.

In this regard, both the company commander Ge Hongtao and the platoon leader Li Chengdu pretended that they saw nothing.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just shoveling pig manure. Besides, your class isn't the only one shoveling it, everyone here will be unable to escape it later."

Sun Weichen briefly recounted what had happened during the time they were away.

It's very simple. The production company only has so much work to do every day, and now more than 300 people have suddenly shown up to help. In order to let everyone experience the joy of raising pigs and farming, the battalion commander decided that one of the three companies would take turns to help every day, and the remaining two companies would continue training.

Needless to say, today we will naturally start with their third company.

At that time, not only their combat units, but also the kitchen team and even the car team would have to go along.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen's originally depressed mood finally improved a little.

In fact, to be honest, helping out in the production company is not a punishment, but rather a reward.

At most, your nose will suffer a little. If you really compare it with the training in the reconnaissance company, the work in the production company is no different from rest and vacation.

Breakfast time was over quickly.

After changing into physical training suits, everyone was taken to the open space in front of the camp to begin their daily training.

At this time, Ge Hongtao did not forget to fulfill his previous promise and sent someone to call the brothers from the production company to visit.

Looking at Jiang Chen and his companions slaughtering everyone in the fighting arena, several soldiers from the production company who had been shoveling pig manure with them subconsciously took a few steps back.

Fortunately, I was careful before and did not offend these savages. Otherwise, who knows what is happening now would happen to them.

There is a different division of labor in the revolution, and there is no distinction between high and low comrades.

This is not just a simple slogan. The soldiers of the production company may not be good at fighting the enemy, but the scouts who were raising pigs and farming and killing people just now would also be at a loss.

There are countless ridiculous things.

After working in the vegetable fields and manure piles for an hour or two, until lunch time, we rested for a while, and then gathered again to start physical exercises.

Rest is rest, but the daily activities must not be missed.

Studying is like rowing against the current, and the same is true for physical fitness.

Especially at this stage now, it is almost impossible to make a big improvement in a short period of time. We can only persevere and make progress slowly.

The training grounds and equipment here may not be used once in eight hundred years, and their simple training grounds have not yet been built.

Forget about the 400-meter obstacle course, let alone target shooting, as there isn't even a shooting range in this damn place.

The production company might arrange some more work for us later, so we can only do some simple physical training in the open space in front of the camp.

Of course, it’s not just physical training, there are also other theoretical classes.

Especially for recruits like Jiang Chen, theoretical classes are far more important than physical training.

Learn the combat ideas and theories of scouts, camouflage infiltration, various reconnaissance tactics, and most importantly, the Beidou system, which has just suffered a loss, etc.

Anyway, even if you are taking a rest, you won’t be asked to just lie there and do nothing.

The body rests, but the brain cannot stop thinking.

……

"Oh my god, is this a scout? Luckily I didn't join the scout company, otherwise I would have to give away these 100-plus pounds!"

A group of soldiers from a nearby production company sat in the shade of a tree and watched the excitement.

Today they are completely liberated.

If there is anything, you just need to shout and someone will come to help you immediately. Except for cooking/eating, the rest of the time they will just be there to give guidance and demonstration.

Everyone is feeling extremely comfortable now.

However, looking at the people from the third company who had been busy all day and were still sitting in the open space for class, many of them looked frightened.

But they knew that the guys in front of them stayed behind specifically to help them today. They were not like the other two companies, who went into the woods early in the morning after setting up tents and eating and have not returned yet.

Even so, they still felt that this kind of training intensity was terrifying. If it were them and others who had to go up there, they would probably be exhausted in one day!

The saying that has been circulating in the army is really true: scouts are a group of beasts/savages.

"I used to think that scouts were just so-so, all boastful. Sometimes when I saw them being so arrogant, I felt unconvinced. What was there to be so proud of? We were all soldiers, and you didn't have any more eyes or legs than me, so why were you so arrogant?

Today I am really convinced.

With this amount of training, no wonder they are called animals.

And those two companies have been in the mountains for a whole day, and there is still no sign of anyone. If they are not savages, what are they?"

“Yeah, I can understand physical training, but damn, why are there theory classes?

I just leaned over to listen, and my head is still buzzing...

I am also convinced. With all the kung fu, why not just go to college? Why do you have to be a scout? You are just asking for trouble!"

Some people admire it, while others despise it.

What I admire is naturally the abilities of these scouts in front of me, but it is also simple to despise them. As I said just now, if you really have such abilities, what would you have been doing long ago?

It's so hard and tiring, but every year there are people who work hard to get better results in the year-end assessment and meet the basic requirements to enter the reconnaissance company.

In the eyes of some people, isn't this simply insane and a way of bringing trouble upon oneself?

Not everyone wants to just eat and wait for death, then take off their clothes and leave when the time comes.

Some people are not willing to join the army, so being assigned to the production company to live out their days can be considered as fulfilling their wish.

However, there are also some people who really yearn to join the army.

Just because of one reason or another, I was assigned here helplessly.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the new recruits who took the initiative to ask to go to the production company to raise pigs when they were assigned to the company.

There was only one production company in the 228th Regiment, and the new recruit named Wang Fei was naturally among them.

When the reconnaissance battalion arrived in the morning, Wang Fei recognized Jiang Chen and others standing in the team.

Wang Fei might not have had such a deep impression of other people, but it was different for Jiang Chen.

At that time in the recruit company, Jiang Chen was definitely a star-level figure. He was talked about by all the squad leaders all the time. His various training results were also among the best. He also had the halo of a college student and a second-class meritorious service.

It's hard for them not to be familiar with it.

When he first arrived at the production company, Wang Fei didn't think there was anything wrong.

But after such a long time, when Wang Fei saw Jiang Chen again, his first reaction was not to show off to his comrades beside him that this was his comrade in the recruit company.

Instead, he subconsciously lowered his head so that Jiang Chen and the others wouldn't see him wearing an apron and holding a dung scoop.

Wang Fei's test results were not too bad, and he could barely pass. If he really wanted to join a combat company, there was still hope for him.

But he himself really couldn't bear this hardship.

The intensity of the training in the recruit company alone was enough to make him feel extremely miserable, not to mention what would happen after he was assigned to another company.

So, when someone from the army came to ask for his opinion, Wang Fei hesitated for a moment, then, using his family as an excuse, took the initiative to ask to be assigned to the production company.

But now, seeing Jiang Chen and others who were his comrades in the recruit company not long ago, they looked at them fully armed, with their heads held high and their waists full of various weapons and equipment that they had never seen in the recruit company.

Look at yourself again...

"If you ask me, this guy is a real soldier.

What are we?

What’s the difference between me and a farmer if I take off this clothes?

I spent the whole year staying in this tiny place, circling around the pigsty, and I might not even get to touch a gun and fire a few bullets until I was discharged from the army.

If it weren't for these scouts coming to our company for training, I still wouldn't know what a sniper rifle looks like!"

Listening to the words of his comrades beside him, Wang Fei admitted that he felt a little regretful.
