Chapter 213 Good news from the sky, Zhao Pengfei becomes platoon leader?
A green military jeep slowly drove into the camp.
Qiu Guohai rolled down the car window and looked outside.
The training ground was empty, without a single person in sight.
"Where are they?" Qiu Guohai looked puzzled. "I just spoke to Xiao Guo on the phone. They should all be back, right?"
"It's already noon, I guess everyone is eating in the cafeteria, right?"
Chief of Staff Sun Quan drove while looking at the cafeteria in the distance.
After a while, the car stopped outside the cafeteria.
The two got out of the car and walked inside in small steps.
But what was surprising was that the cafeteria was empty at this moment.
The two of them went to the kitchen, hoping to find someone to ask about the situation, but when they got in, they found that there was no one there.
Although the fire on the gas stove was turned off, the two large pots on the stove were still steaming.
The piles of hand-rolled noodles on the table looked like they had just been cut. They were thrown aside without even being put into the pot.
The stainless steel basin next to it is filled with stir-fried pork with green peppers. Judging from the color, it must have been freshly fried and is still emitting an enticing aroma.
Qiu Guohai wiped the soy sauce stains from the corner of his mouth and sighed, "It's really fried well, and the aroma of the wok is there!"
Sun Quan rolled his eyes in annoyance: Why are you acting like a child and stealing food?
"They're not at the training grounds or the cafeteria in broad daylight. Where else do you think they could be?"
"Could it be that they are too tired after just coming back and are all resting in the dormitory?"
"It's possible. Let's go and take a look."
Soon, the two of them hurried to the dormitory building.
But surprisingly, the dormitory building was also empty.
However, some daily necessities were placed in the dormitory.
It is easy to tell from the dirty clothes and smelly socks that they have definitely returned.
Walking out of the corridor, Qiu Guohai took off his hat and scratched his head, puzzled.
"This is truly bizarre! How is it that there's no one left in the entire camp except for the sentry standing guard at the gate? It's like they've disappeared from the face of the earth."
Sun Quan frowned slightly, his heart also full of doubts.
This kind of thing shouldn't happen to a unit like the Steel Blade Company.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly caught sight of two black Audis parked downstairs of the company headquarters in the distance.
When we got closer, we found that one of the two cars had a military license plate and the other had a division license plate.
Qiu Guohai shook his head helplessly: "No wonder no one pays attention to us, our level is too low, we are not qualified."
Sun Quan smiled bitterly. "I can only say that the timing of our arrival is unfortunate. Okay, let's go to the cafeteria and wait until the meeting is over."
"Well, I'm hungry too. Let me cook some noodles to fill my stomach."
After saying that, the two of them put their hands behind their backs and walked towards the cafeteria.
......
At the same time, in the activity room on the second floor of the company headquarters.
All the soldiers of the Steel Knife Company sat on mats with their backs straight.
Because they had just taken a shower, everyone looked refreshed and energetic.
Even the air was filled with the pleasant and refreshing scent of Shujia soap.
At the front, Ge Zhiyong, Qin Feng and others stood in a straight row.
Everyone held their heads high and chests puffed out, like soldiers waiting for inspection.
Wei Shanhe glanced at them and said loudly, "Considering the special nature of this mission, I can't commend you in the division."
"Although the scale is much smaller and there aren't as many applause and flowers, we all see your efforts."
"And I came here this time specifically to commend and reward you."
At this moment, Ge Zhiyong and others were extremely excited.
For soldiers, honor is the most important thing.
Even if I can't stand in the division headquarters auditorium and enjoy everyone's applause.
But as long as the troops recognize it and the country doesn't forget it, they will be satisfied.
And when we accepted this task, everyone was actually mentally prepared.
The so-called secret mission must never be praised in a high-profile manner, otherwise it will cause a series of unnecessary troubles.
Even if the entire division was commended, it would only be: The 33rd Division's Steel Blade Company performed outstandingly in a certain mission and made great contributions...
There is absolutely no possibility of missing even a single detail about the mission, otherwise it would be a leak.
Wei Shanhe solemnly said, "After discussion by our superiors, we have decided to award everyone involved in this mission a collective second-class merit!"
"Thank you, chief!"
The ten people on the stage responded loudly collectively.
This is their common honor.
It was what they fought for with their lives in a foreign country.
And the people sitting below were also happy for them.
The Steel Knife Company is a collective, so they also feel proud of it.
"Ge Zhiyong!"
"To!"
When his name was called, Ge Zhiyong immediately straightened his chest.
Wei Shanhe looked at him and said, "In view of your outstanding performance in the mission, we have decided to award you a Second Class Medal of Merit!"
"Thank you, chief!"
Ge Zhiyong saluted excitedly.
He was already very satisfied to be able to get the second-class merit.
After all, in peacetime, many people lost limbs in exchange for second-class merit.
Wei Shanhe took a medal from the secretary, put it on Ge Zhiyong's chest, and saluted him.
Then, he said a few words of encouragement before calling out the next name.
"Tang Lei!"
"To!"
"In view of your outstanding performance in the mission, you are awarded a Third Class Medal of Merit!"
"Liu Yong!"
"To!"
“…..Third Class Merit!”
Soon, it was Qin Feng's turn.
Everyone below pricked up their ears and looked at it intently.
Although they did not participate in the mission, everyone knew that Qin Feng's influence in the mission was definitely much greater than that of the company commander.
But just when everyone was secretly wondering whether Qin Feng was awarded first-class merit or second-class merit, the commander actually skipped over him.
This made the people who had just received the awards look puzzled, and even Qin Feng was stunned for a moment.
I don’t know what is going on?
"Zhao Pengfei!"
"To!"
Wei Shanhe came up to Zhao Pengfei and said with a smile, "I've read your resume. You're an excellent veteran."
"I have been in the army for ten years and have trained many outstanding soldiers. I have been an outstanding squad leader almost every year."
"I've received three commendations, two third-class merits, and one second-class merit. Not long ago, I was seriously injured during a mission and almost couldn't return to the army."
Zhao Pengfei's eyes trembled and he didn't know what to say.
He didn't understand why the commander said these words only to him.
Wei Shanhe looked at him solemnly: "In view of your outstanding performance in this mission, after our meeting and discussion, we have decided to award you a third-class medal of honor. In addition..."
This made Zhao Pengfei's heart quicken a little, and also made Qin Feng's eyes full of anticipation.
"Also," Wei Shanhe smiled, "After careful consideration, the organization has decided to promote you from a third-term non-commissioned officer to the rank of second lieutenant, and appoint you as the acting platoon leader of the Steel Blade Company."
"This September, we will send you to the military academy for intensive training. After graduation, you can remove the word 'acting' from your title and officially become a platoon leader."
"I hope that in the future, you can make better contributions to the army and cultivate more outstanding talents."
When saying the last sentence, Wei Shanhe glanced at Qin Feng intentionally or unintentionally.
At this moment, Zhao Pengfei was stunned by this good news that came out of the blue.
You can be promoted to an officer, serve as an acting platoon leader, and go to a military academy for further studies.
This was something he had never dared to imagine before, but now, it has all come true.
Watching the squad leader finally get what he wanted and fulfill his life dream.
Qin Feng raised a smile and felt happy for him in his heart.
He quietly pulled the squad leader's sleeve, and Zhao Pengfei finally reacted.
He quickly raised his right hand, his eyes slightly red, and let out a slightly trembling growl from his chest.
"Thank you, Commander, and thank you for your trust. I will definitely live up to your expectations, train more talents for the army, and make more contributions!"
