Chapter 40: Even the Class Monitor Gets Played

  Our new recruits have started being arranged for sentry duty, and the company commander has asked the old soldiers to take the new recruits on patrol.

  Starting from one shift, our squad took turns standing guard. In addition to the sentry duties arranged by the squad, we also had to take on patrol tasks outside our troops.

  It can be said that our squad and Red One Squad bear many tasks arranged by the regiment.

  Before lights out at night, I saw the deputy monitor of Class 10 taking a bag containing biscuits and mineral water from Xia Xiaoliu's hand and heading towards the isolation room.

  It seems that this is going to be secretly sent to Tian Yifei in the isolation room.

  After the lights were out, just as we lay in bed, Lian Chang suddenly shouted at our dormitory door: "The four great gods of the third squad, get your backpacks and stand at attention."

  "Give you two minutes."

  Suddenly we all remembered that Lianzhang said he wanted to appoint four class leaders today.

  We started helping the monitor pack his bag.

  "Let it go, get some sleep." The class monitor shouted at us.

  We obediently stopped what we were doing and quietly got into bed.

  The monitor's movements were extremely swift, and before long, the quilt and mattress had been packed into his backpack.

  The class monitor put on his backpack and ran out of the classroom.

  We couldn't stay lying down. The old soldier led the way, hiding behind the door and looking out, while we new recruits also couldn't help but squeeze in together with him to take a peek through the gap.

  We all want to see and hear how Lian Zhang is going to deal with several class leaders.

  Only after the four class leaders stood in a row did the company commander speak up.

  "Fall down."

  I didn't expect that even Zhang's first sentence would be a knockout.

  The four class leaders heard the order and immediately fell to the ground.

  "Get down and take cover."

  The class leaders got ready, and the company commander shouted: "Touch the iron frame of the drying field and return to me here, start."

  We stared with wide eyes as the class leaders quickly crawled forward.

  The class leaders' tactical movements were very standard and very swift.

  Not long after, he returned to Lianchang.

  "Rise."

  The class leaders stood up, looked around, took a brief rest, and waited for the next program from the company commander.

  Lian Chang then pulled out his card from his pocket.

  "Old rules, answer me, if not satisfied, add 5 circles."

  The class monitors stood in the ranks without saying a word.

  "Who leads without respect for the queue."

  Nobody speaks...

  "Damn it, add 10 more laps."

  Lian Chang smiled and continued to ask: "Did I wrongly accuse you?"

  "Report to the company commander, you are not wrong in blaming us, it is our fault. However, I reserve what I have said."

  The one who spoke was exactly my class monitor.

  "Zhao Zhijie, you son of a bitch, what do you want to do? That's your platoon leader." The company commander was furious. We saw the company commander lift his foot as if he wanted to kick the platoon leader, but didn't actually kick him.

  "Report to Company Commander, I don't want to do anything, I just want to say that there is a way to train on the training ground and make several of us squad leaders feel ashamed."

  This sentence made Lian Chang even more anxious.

  Lian Chang then waved the card in his hand at them.

  "20 rounds and still not meeting my expectations, you four don't sleep for the next four nights."

  "Begin."

  Then, the class leaders started running around the company.

  My god... it turns out that running laps is even more brutal than being a class monitor, one lap is 400 meters, 10 laps is 4000 meters, 20 laps is 8000 kilometers, I'm going to die, eight kilometers, and still carrying a heavy backpack.

  "It's okay, don't worry, just go to sleep quickly, these punishments are nothing for our class leader."

  "Yes, let's all go to sleep. Our class monitor is an old scout, and when he was in the scouting company, the minimum distance was 10 kilometers, which is just a scratch for him."

  The old soldier lay down on his bed and began to introduce us to the new recruits who were still watching.

  At this time, one of the old soldiers said to the deputy squad leader: "I thought the company commander would come up with something new this time, alas, no energy, still the same old thing."

  Yes.

  "After hearing their conversation, I asked the vice monitor: 'Vice Monitor, is the monitor often punished by the platoon leader?'"

  The deputy class leader smiled and said to us: "Yes, it's all because of our class leader."

  "Why?" I continued to ask.

  "Because the squad leaders disobeyed the platoon leader's command, I still remember when we were new recruits and our platoon leader had just been assigned to our company as our platoon leader."

  We new recruits returned to our beds and continued listening as the deputy squad leader said, "At that time, every time we were given extra punishment by the squad leader, the squad leader would step in and stop it, not allowing the squad leader to give us extra punishment."

  "But the class leaders did not follow the instructions of the squad leader and instead increased the amount of training."

  Another veteran, Zhu Weida, picked up where the deputy squad leader left off and said: "Later, the platoon leader reported to the company commander that the squad leaders were not showing him respect as a platoon leader."

  "Li Lian immediately ordered the class monitor to run up the mountain with a backpack full of stones and back down, and on the way back, he had to bring back some rocks that could only be found at the top of the mountain."

  Later on, the number of times the platoon leader reported to the company commander increased, and even the company commander started to get annoyed. The company commander couldn't do anything about it either... The squad leaders were not afraid at all, but instead became more excited.

  The old soldiers' words left us stunned.

  The class leaders are so perverted, it turns out that while the class leader is training us in a perverted way, they also enjoy being trained by the head teacher.

  It seems that the class leaders have something abnormal in their hearts, or they have a heart that yearns to be scolded.

  At this time we suddenly found outside was quiet.

  "Vice monitor, why is it quiet outside?" I asked the vice monitor.

  "Go to sleep, don't think about it, Lian Zhang is probably leading a few squad leaders to barbecue wild game on the mountain behind the company again."

  No way... I was just messing with the class leaders, how did I end up going to the back mountain to roast game with Lianzhang?

  My curiosity was suddenly piqued by the deputy class monitor.

  I got down from the bed, put on my military coat and ran to the deputy monitor's bed, squatted on the ground and smiled at the deputy monitor: "Deputy monitor, don't sleep yet, tell us something."

  "Alright, I'll tell you then, satisfy your curiosity."

  At this time, the deputy class leader sat up from the bed.

  "I'm telling you, the squad leader is like the company commander's right-hand man. The company commander relies on the squad leaders to train us, so the company has combat effectiveness. So, the company commander treats the squad leaders very well. In fact, the way the squad leader treats the platoon leader may be under the company commander's instructions, because our company is assessed by the regiment every year, and all members of the company, including the company commander and instructor, must participate in the assessment. Our company only has a platoon leader who graduated from military school, without undergoing high-intensity training like us, so their physical fitness is not as good as ours. Every time, the platoon leader needs our help to pass the assessment."

  Now we understand a bit more, it can only be in line with the attitude of the class leaders towards the platoon leader.

  It seems that in order to be in a combat unit, one must have strong military and physical qualities.

  At this time, the deputy class leader said to us: "Let me tell you a little secret."

  "What's up?" We asked the vice monitor with our ears perked up.

  "I heard that our Tiger Troop is going to form a reconnaissance company."

  "Reconnaissance company?" I asked in surprise.
