Chapter 29: Seeking Office

  Wu Bing walked on the main street of Nanzheng County, curiously sizing up the ancient and charming streets, looking at the buildings from decades ago in China and the local customs and people, which was also a unique flavor.

  Wu Bing found a mutton 'paomo' snack stall and sat down, eating while asking the boss about the local situation.

  The boss who was not busy with business was also a talkative person, and he started talking to Wu Bing about the local situation. When Wu Bing heard that there was an army stationed outside Nanzheng City, and it was the Central Army of the National Government.

  Wu Bing's mind was active, wanting to experience the elite troops of China decades ago. He asked the boss for directions and paid the bill.

  After paying the bill, Wu Bing was about to leave the stall when the boss hurriedly said to him, "By the way, sir, that battalion of yours is recruiting soldiers in the east of the city. You can find them there."

  Wu Bing bid farewell to his boss and headed east. When he arrived at the eastern part of the city, Wu Bing saw from afar two large characters "Recruiting Soldiers". Surrounding it were some young people who seemed to be inquiring about something.

  It wasn't until Wu Bing walked up front that he finally understood what was going on. It turned out these people were inquiring about the treatment after becoming a soldier.

  He stood out from the crowd, looking exceptionally fierce. He didn't seem to fit in with those who came to enlist, and immediately caught the attention of a military officer, who walked over and asked, "Brother, are you here to join the army?"

  Wu Bing sized up the military officer-like person and looked at his collar badge. One 'Mao' three was a captain, so he said to this person: Ah!

  The officer smiled and said: Well, the army is just short of people like you. Little Zhang, come over and register him first.

  A young man sitting at a desk who was registering people immediately responded with a "yes" and took out a notebook to register Wu Bing.

  Wu Bing smiled and waved his hand at Little Zhang who came to register, saying: "Wait a minute."

  Turning to the officer, he said: I'm here to be a soldier, but I want to be an officer. I don't have high demands, just a platoon leader position, but this platoon must be directly commanded by the highest commander of this branch. If you can meet my requirements, I will

  Will join this team. How about it, can you agree to this request?

  Wu Bing said as he looked at the officer's face, only to see his complexion change from pale to dark and sweat dripping down.

  The officer looked up and down Wu Bing again, then loudly said with a hum: "I don't think you're anything special, what makes you think you can come here and be an officer? Our officers are all forged in the fires of battle, sacrificing their lives to get where they are. What qualifications do you have?"

  Seeking an official position?

  Wu Bing replied indifferently: It's on the battlefield of civil war!

  The officer heard this and got angry, pulled out a Mauser pistol and cursed: I'm going to shoot you today.

  The several soldiers beside him quickly held the officer and took down his gun, persuading: Battalion Commander, why are you on equal terms with him.

  Turned around and said to Wu Bing: What are you still doing here, hurry up and get out of here.

  Wu Bing shrugged and said, "How come I just said one sentence and you're already getting angry? If I didn't have the skills or abilities, I wouldn't be here. If you have the ability to bully your own people, why don't you go to Northeast China and drive out the Japanese?"

  The officer said to several people who were pulling him: Let go of me. Several people then let go of him.

  Walked up to Wu Bing and said: Do you think I don't want to fight back? I'm a Northeasterner. With tears still in his eyes.

  Wu Bing heard these words and his heart softened a bit, knowing the love and nostalgia people had for their hometown at that time. Then he heard the officer say: Alright, you said you have the skills and strength to come here as an officer. You can compete with me, if I lose, I'll give up my position as platoon leader

  Let's give it to you. But what if you lose?

  Wu Bing said bluntly: If I lose, I will be your servant for a lifetime.

  It's settled then.

  One word is settled. The two people made a promise one after another.

  Lian Chang shouted at his soldiers: Alright, that's all for today, gather 'round and disperse. We're not recruiting anymore, everyone scatter!

  The soldiers under Lian Chang's command heard his words and hastily loaded the tables and chairs onto the vehicle. The three new recruits were asked to get on first, and then Wu Bing and the others climbed aboard one after another.

  At this time someone pulled a soldier and said: Brother, don't go! If you want to leave, take me with you too!

  The soldier turned around and scolded: Get out, get out, get out! With so many recruits, I've never seen anyone as greedy as you. You're a soldier, but you still want to haggle over your military pay, do you think this is a vegetable market?!

  The man immediately said: Big brother, I'll take this soldier, is it okay if we don't haggle over the price?

  The soldier bowed his head and thought for a moment before saying: Alright, alright, hurry up and get on the car.

  Wu Bing looked at this person who was said by the soldiers to be infatuated with wealth and said: You're so infatuated with wealth, why don't you go do business?

  This man took a glance at Wu Bing and said with an air of arrogance: Mind your own business.

  Wu Bing thought to himself: Great, I've had a boring trip and now I've run into a troublemaker.

  He shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the soldiers who were looking at him, and the car came to a military camp outside the city with a bumpy ride. The car stopped in an empty field, and the soldiers on the car hurriedly got off the car.

  After opening the trunk lid, Wu Bing said to several people: Get off the bus, get off the bus.

  Wu Bing got off the car and looked at the military camp in front of him. This military camp was much better than the tents he had seized from the Ma bandits when he was in the Western Route Army. Not to mention the living quarters, just the rifles on the soldiers' backs were unmatched by the Red Army fighters. Wu Bing carefully

  They eyed the rifles on those soldiers and immediately recognized a very successful model that shone brightly in the War of Resistance. The standard Hanyang rifle equipment, at a glance, would increase their combat effectiveness manifold. No need to have a variety of firearms like the Red Army, logistics supply

  Big.

  At this time Lian Zhang walked over and said to several soldiers: Take him to the shooting range first, I'll be right there.

  Wu Bing followed several soldiers led by a few who had been in the army to their shooting range, where he saw about a platoon of people conducting live-fire exercises. As he walked up with great interest, an officer in charge came over.

  Looking at Wu Bing in casual clothes and asking: What are you doing?

  One of the soldiers who came with Wu Bing walked forward, whispering in the officer's ear. The officer listened while constantly sizing up Wu Bing, a schadenfreude expression still on his face.

  After listening to Bing's narrative, he smiled and said to Wu Bing: You dare to call the company commander, he is a veteran of the Northern Expedition.

  Wu Bing also smiled and said: Whether it's a mule or a horse, it will be known after taking it out for a walk. It can't be done just by talking about it with one mouth.

  At this time, the team leader gave a thumbs up and said: Alright, you've got guts, I'm impressed, Li.

  The officer turned to his subordinates and said: Assemble, assemble. After a row of people had assembled, the officer said to his soldiers: There will be a competition here later, everyone come and observe and learn.

  Wu Bing and others were waiting at the shooting range for the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel, it didn't take long to see a lieutenant colonel and several military officers walking towards the shooting range.
