Chapter 47 Class Monitor! This thing really wasn't taught by me! [Please read on! Please vote!]
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the new recruits of the Fifth Company probably would never have believed it in their lives.
A grown man weighing over 100 pounds was kicked so hard that his legs left the ground and he couldn't get up.
If it weren't for the group of new recruits behind Zhang Xinyu acting as "human cushions," Zhang Xinyu might have been sent flying much further!
Even Chu Zhao was a little surprised.
They've already put them on before training has even officially started?
Chu Zhao initially thought that Ye Pengfei, the class monitor, had a fiery temper and was impatient.
Compared to the Fifth Squad Leader, whose eyes were wide open and whose hair stood on end in anger... Ye Pengfei was far too gentle!
As for Zhang Xinyu being punished... Chu Zhao didn't find it surprising.
Chu Zhao believed that even without Zhang Xinyu, there would be Zhao Xinyu or Wang Xinyu.
These new recruits who dare to "spit out" will become targets for sergeants and officers to make an example of!
The military is a place that values efficiency.
Explaining rules and regulations patiently and demanding that new recruits abide by them might be helpful, but the results are far too slow.
It's far more direct to let the new recruits see the consequences of making mistakes!
For example, right now.
After seeing Zhang Xinyu's miserable state, every single new recruit in the Fifth Company became obedient!
Compared to Zhang Xinyu, who lay on the ground and tried to get up several times but was forced to give up due to pain in his thighs.
A little resentment from being hungry and the hardship of singing at the top of one's lungs are nothing compared to that.
It carried a touch of sadness, like the sorrow of "the rabbit mourning the fox's death".
The recruits glanced one last time at Zhang Xinyu, who was groaning and looking disheveled, before quickly averting their gaze and lowering their heads slightly, afraid that the evil fire ignited by Zhang Xinyu would burn them.
Unfortunately.
In the military, there are many things you can't avoid.
All the eager cadres and key personnel will not miss this rare opportunity!
"Help him up."
Upon hearing this, the squad leader immediately stepped forward and helped Zhang Xinyu up, dragging and pulling him along, his scolding never ceasing.
Tao Jianhua stood there, expressionless.
Only after Zhang Xinyu shakily returned to the queue did Tao Jianhua reveal a somewhat smug expression and speak with amusement.
"They still have the energy to slack off and the inclination to talk back."
"Looks like you're still not hungry or tired."
"Zhang Xinyu, didn't you just say I saw it wrong?"
"Chu Zhao!"
Hearing his own name suddenly, Chu Zhao was quite surprised, but he still responded instinctively.
"arrive!"
"Step forward!"
"yes!"
Just like the instinctive response "Here" when hearing a name.
Upon hearing the order to step forward, Chu Zhao instinctively took a step back, then took a shortcut from the back of the line to the right front of the line. He stopped in four steps, turned around and stood at attention facing Tao Jianhua. The whole set of movements was smooth and seamless!
However, this seemingly ordinary action attracted the attention of a group of veterans!
Tao Jianhua...the platoon leader...and all the squad leaders were staring at Chu Zhao with a mixture of confusion, shock, and bewilderment in their eyes!
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.
The new recruits thought Chu Zhao's actions were indeed pleasing to the eye, but there was no need to make a fuss about it.
However, in the eyes of the veterans, Chu Zhao's level of drill during the march-out process was enough to qualify him to be a member of the "model squad" and participate in the drill competition!
If Chu Zhao had displayed such a level of drill within the first month or two of basic training, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
But the problem is... training hasn't even officially started yet!
Wasn't there only one second-time recruit in the third squad? When did another one appear?
No... this kid is Chu Zhao! The Chu Zhao who, in a moment of dizziness, caused chaos throughout the entire Fifth Company!
Whether he was a second-time recruit or not, all the veterans in the Fifth Company knew!
If that's the case... then there's only one possibility left.
Tao Jianhua and the others stared at Chu Zhao for a moment, then simultaneously turned their gazes, finally focusing on the most bewildered man at that moment—
Ye Pengfei.
Logically speaking, Ye Pengfei, as the class monitor, should be happy that such a model student in formation has emerged in the class.
But under the watchful eyes of his colleagues... Ye Pengfei inexplicably felt unusually flustered...
Meanwhile, Tao Jianhua and the others were asking Ye Pengfei the same question through their eye contact.
Is this how you taught them?
"..."
Ye Pengfei understood the meaning in those looks and quickly shook his head.
To be honest, Ye Pengfei is also very confused right now.
During his time with Chu Zhao, he did not find the slightest sign that Chu Zhao had received any drill training.
Why is it that so many veterans who return home on leave, even when dressed in civilian clothes, can still be identified as soldiers by local people?
It is precisely because they have undergone extensive drill training that their walking, sitting, and all manner of demeanor have been deeply influenced by this training, making them different from ordinary people, which is why the people can "recognize" their military identities!
In other words, if someone has undergone long-term, high-standard drill training, it simply cannot be hidden.
Only veteran squad leaders and officers who have served for more than ten years can reach the level of "being able to control and release freely". They may seem undisciplined in normal times, but when it comes to a critical moment, they can immediately demonstrate the demeanor of soldiers with impeccable formation!
Just like... Chu Zhao just now!
Looking at Chu Zhao's face, which still carried a hint of youthful innocence, Ye Pengfei shook his head, as if trying to shake this absurd thought out of his mind.
He was truly confused by the series of strange phenomena surrounding Chu Zhao.
It's surprising that Chu Zhao seems like a veteran sergeant who's been in the army for over ten years...
Thinking of this, Ye Pengfei suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.
It seems... someone said something similar to him?
After a brief recollection.
On the train, Li Jiahao's hesitant expression suddenly surfaced in Ye Pengfei's mind.
"I just feel... Chu Zhao... doesn't seem like a new recruit..."
"Putting today's events aside, there were several times in the car when I sensed a particularly familiar aura about Chu Zhao."
"It's like...the old sergeant...the old squad leader...or even the platoon leader in my old unit!"
"Squad leader, has Chu Zhao really never served in the military? And none of his family members have?"
With this in mind.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of veterans.
Ye Pengfei ignored everyone's gaze, instead turning his attention to Li Jiahao, who was standing not far away beside him.
It was as if it sensed Ye Pengfei's gaze.
Li Jiahao tentatively tilted his head to his right, and then his eyes met Ye Pengfei's fixed gaze.
Li Jiahao: "???"
No! Squad leader, why are you looking at me like that?
This is definitely not something I taught you!
