The recruits were originally full of resentment towards these veterans, and mistakenly thought that they were greedy for life and afraid of death and dared not go to the front line, so they knew to bully these recruits by training.

But now seeing the new wounds and old scars on the veterans' bodies, they all lowered their heads in guilt. They regretted their indiscriminate words and shouldn't insult and beat the veterans.

"Brother, hold back!" The brother of the secret service company who enforced the military law reminded loudly, looking at the veterans lying on the bench.

The veterans gritted their teeth and replied: "Come on, I am not afraid of death, so why are you still afraid of army sticks!"

The brothers of the spy company had already received Chen Ming's orders, so they were naturally measured. After all, if they were really beaten, it would affect their combat effectiveness.

But even so, many veterans grinned in pain when they were hit with the army sticks, and some couldn't help but yelled.

In the open space in front of the village, the recruits and the veterans took turns to receive the military sticks. Seeing the recruits being beaten and howling, the veterans who were lying on their stomachs laughed at the side: "It's so useless, we don't even hum. "

"Crack!" The first army stick went down, and the veteran who was talking couldn't help but yelled, which made the recruits next to him laugh too: "You don't have any."

The recruits and veterans were all batoned together. Although they were still unrelenting, the barriers in their hearts had long since disappeared. Because they ridiculed each other while being batoned together, they brought their feelings closer.

Text Chapter 561 Shaking Hands and Making Peace

After eating the army sticks, the brothers immediately became honest. No matter whether they were recruits or veterans, although they didn't talk about it, the grievances between them had long since dissipated.

Deputy Battalion Commander Qin Shou was treated as a model of killing chickens to warn monkeys, and he was literally hit with [-] military sticks. However, he was also a tough guy, and he gritted his teeth the whole time without saying a word, and was finally carried back to the tent.

The recruits used to complain about these bullying veterans, but seeing their scars all over their bodies and their brave appearance in the face of military sticks, their mentality has quietly changed, from resentment to admiration.

In the afternoon training, due to such a thing as gang fights, after all the brothers were hit with military sticks, the sky had already darkened, and the training was forced to end.

"We really misunderstood the company commander and the others this time. Seeing the wounds on their bodies, I am afraid that we have played with devils."

Although the recruits were also beaten by army sticks, although their buttocks hurt, the tenth army sticks did not hurt their muscles and bones. After returning to the tent, they regretted recklessly fighting with veterans.

"Isn't it? I saw that our squad leader has several bullet holes on his body, and there is a bayonet wound that is still new..."

Chen Ming deliberately asked them to strip off their clothes and be beaten with military sticks. The purpose was to let the recruits see that they were not an army that would collapse at a touch as rumored, but had fought head-to-head with the devils, and they had also shed blood and died.

"I lost my head at that time, damn it." Some recruits couldn't help but slap their mouths because their minds were full of scars on the thin bodies of veterans.

"It's useless to say anything now, this beam is settled."

The recruits are downcast, and they regret the mistakes they made.

"Why don't we go and apologize to our platoon leader?" Some recruits couldn't help suggesting that they felt tormented.

His proposal was unanimously echoed by the other recruits: "But they were almost shot because of us, can they forgive us?"

Hearing this, the recruits immediately became dejected again.

"Whether he can do it or not, let's go first and talk about it."

There were also irritable recruits who stood up immediately. They misunderstood the veterans and caused the veterans to be implicated and beaten with military sticks. They felt sorry for not doing anything.

The recruits were simple peasants before they became soldiers, and what they were most afraid of was owed favors. Such a disturbance during the day made them feel bad, and they always wanted to compensate the veterans.

"We can't go empty-handed." Someone stopped the recruit who was about to get out of the tent and said.

"But we don't have anything?"

A recruit took out a few silver dollars from the package and said, "My mother gave it to me when she left. Let's go to the village to see and buy something, and then apologize."

"That's fine, we will pay you back the military salary."

The recruits left as soon as they said they would, limping out of the tent and heading to the village to buy things.

But when they walked out of the tent, they found that there were quite a few people who had the same idea as them, and they all felt sorry and wanted to buy something to apologize.

Naturally, the actions of the recruits could not escape the eyes of the sentries, but the sentries also turned a blind eye, as long as they were not deserters, they didn't bother to care what they were doing.

Qin Shou received thirty military sticks solidly, and lay in the tent, moaning in pain. The first battalion commander, Lu Xing, opened the tent with his dinner and walked in.

"Brother Qin, haven't you eaten yet?" Lu Xing looked at Qin Shou who turned his face away, and put his rice bowl aside with a smile.

Seeing Qin Shou's furious look, Lu Xing also knew that he was blaming him in his heart, so he was not angry, and found a place to sit down by himself.

"Brother Qin, I'm sorry for what happened during the day. I know you must hate me in your heart, but I also have unavoidable difficulties. I hope you can understand me." Lu Xing also sighed.

When Qin Shou heard Lu Xing's words, he was instantly enraged, turned around and asked, "They provoked it first, although I was at fault for fighting, but I can't figure out why you shot our old brother as soon as you came up. "

Hearing Qin Shou's words, Lu Xing shook his head: "The deputy of the regiment has just left. The villagers around you are watching such a large-scale fight. You don't know how bad it will be. If you don't punish severely, the future of our regiment will be destroyed." I'm afraid it's even more smoky. Fighting every day, can't you beat devils?"

"But we were going to be shot as soon as we opened our mouths. Why didn't you shoot those recruits who made trouble? It's not fair for you to do this. I don't agree with it."

Seeing Qin Shou's angry appearance, Lu Xing also said earnestly: "The recruits don't understand anything when they first arrive in the army. You are all veterans for many years. It's not that you don't know the rules of the army. If you commit crimes knowingly, I won't punish you first." Who are you punishing?"

Although Lu Xing explained, he was almost shot, Qin Shou still couldn't get rid of the knot in his heart, and he was sullen.

"If it wasn't for Battalion Commander Chen and the others to intercede, would you really want to kill us?" Qin Shou raised his head and asked.

When Lu Xing heard this, he laughed: "You are the newly promoted deputy battalion commander of the regiment, and I am just a battalion commander. Although I am temporarily in charge of the affairs of the regiment, I don't have the power to decide your life and death. , besides, they are all brothers who rolled over from the trenches, do you think I am so hard-hearted to attack my brothers?"

Seeing that Lu Xing was serious, it didn't seem like he was lying, and thinking that they were all brothers who rolled over from the same trench and knew each other well, Qin Shou believed most of Lu Xing's words.

"Brother Qin, I'm here to apologize to you. If you still don't feel relieved, I'll give you my gun. If you shoot me, we'll be even." Lu Xing was about to take off the holster around his waist. in the pistol.

"Don't, don't, if I really give you a shot, it's no wonder that the regimental deputy didn't shoot me when he came back. I still want to live a few more years." Qin Shouou hurriedly stopped Lu Xing from drawing his gun, and his face softened.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, it's getting cold." Seeing Qin Shou forgive himself, Lu Xing turned around and handed the rice bowl to Qin Shou.

Qin Shou trained the recruits during the day and had a fight with the recruits. He was also hungry at the moment, and started to eat voraciously after taking his job.

"The recruits are ignorant, you old people should be more tolerant, be patient, and teach them more, don't cause trouble by wielding knives and guns, they will also be our brothers in the future."

"Understood, but these little bastards are really not bad, they are soldiers." Qin Shou touched his red and swollen cheeks, and laughed.

"I can see that as long as these guys train hard for a period of time, they will definitely be good soldiers." However, Lu Xing couldn't help shaking his head when he thought that they were about to go to the battlefield.

"This is the anti-inflammatory drug I bought myself from the black market. It's cheap for you kid. After eating, wipe some on the wound so that it won't get infected." Lu Xing changed the subject, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and threw it to Qin Shou.

In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs are more expensive than silver dollars. Various countries have imposed embargoes on China, and sometimes precious medicines may not be available for money.

Seeing Lu Xing give him the medicine, Qin Shou felt warm in his heart. Although his butt was still hurting, the resentment towards Lu Xing disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, go to bed early after finishing, I have to check the post." Seeing Qin Shou who wanted to thank him, Lu Xing smiled and waved his hands, turned around and left the tent.

Not long after Lu Xing left, Luo Wencai, the recruit who had fought with Qin Shou, walked outside Qin Shou's tent with food wrapped in greased paper, supported by a recruit.

"Come in."

Hearing Qin Shou's call to come in, Luo Wen asked the brother to go back, and he limped open the curtain with his things and walked in.
