Chapter 72

The car finally drove into the camp, one by one in the square in front of the dormitory. At this time, it's time for dinner. We walked into the canteen and ate our first meal here in a hurry. Then he was led to the bathhouse and lined up to shave his head and take a bath. All we had left were our sweaters and shorts. One by one, we were waiting to be shaved by the barber. During this period, a woman in her forties came in and handed out a form to everyone, which said your rights and obligations in the army. If you don't understand, you can ask her. Most of the people were looking at the document seriously, while Xie liaosha and some of them just stuffed the paper into the pockets of their shorts. The barber in the army is very quick. He can shave one in three or two. After several of them finished shaving, Xie liaosha couldn't help laughing at everyone's bald appearance.

After walking out of the barber's shop, Xie liaosha and his wife were taken into the bathroom again. Before they went in, they each handed out a small piece of soap. They were told they had only three minutes to go, faster. Xie liaosha and they almost just rushed out in it. Xie liaosha was a little worried about tattoos, but when he took a bath, he looked at other people and found that there were tattoos, so he was no longer worried about them.

In the dressing room, I dried my body and put on my original clothes again. Everyone soon came to the next room. Here, military doctors will re measure your height and weight. After that, it's almost nine o'clock in the evening.

We went to the truck to get our luggage, and then we went back to the dormitory. It's a big room for 50 people. The conditions inside are not as good as they were at Almaty air force base. Everyone in the room is busy making beds, packing personal belongings. After a long journey, the recruits who did not know each other got familiar with each other. Xie liaosha and some of them have always kept a certain distance from these recruits, neither making friends on their own initiative, nor refusing to be thousands of miles away. No matter what they do, they are always together.

It's about eight hours before the lights go out. Xie liaosha thinks it's better to discuss with his brothers, so he gives Yuri a wink. The five of them immediately put down their business and follow Xie liaosha out.

As soon as I got to the gate, I met Leonid. Leonid waved to them warmly, and then said, "seryosa, what are you doing at this late hour?"

Xie liaosha replied with a smile, "let's go out and have a cigarette. We'll be right back."

"The lights are going out. Come back quickly." Leonid asked, turned and left.

。。。

In Xie liaosha, less than two minutes after they went out, four guys in untidy clothes happily walked into Xie liaosha's dormitory. Three of them were wearing a sea soul shirt, and one was carrying a cigarette with his bare arms. As soon as they entered the gate of the dormitory, they called out: "assemble!"

All the people living here are recruits. They don't know what they do. Anyway, they are the youngest here. So they quickly put down what they are doing and stood on both sides of the corridor in two rows.

"Stand up! Stand up! Stand up The guy with bare arms went up to the soldier at the front of the line and said fiercely. The soldier straightened his stance. At this time, the guy with bare arms punched the soldier in the chest. The soldier was knocked down by the sudden heavy blow and covered his chest in pain. The guy with bare arms punched the soldiers next to him in the chest, then the third and the fourth, one by one, from one side of the line to the other side of the line.

The other three guys who came in with him laughed. A guy in a sweater came up to another line of soldiers and slapped them one by one. He didn't hit it lightly, but swung his arm round and fanned it. All the people who were hit fell to one side.

The recruits in this room all know what's going on. They have heard about these things more or less before they became soldiers. There is a tradition of veterans bullying recruits in the barracks. It's almost an unwritten rule. When you first join the army, you are bullied. Next year, you will bully the next group of recruits. It's passed down from generation to generation. You are an iron barracks soldier, Everyone has to abide by this rule.

"Get down, push ups!" There is a guy in front of the command, the recruits endure humiliation and pain, immediately lying down to sit up. The four guys were even more happy. They went to the middle of the two rows of soldiers, and when they saw who didn't like them, they went up to give them a punch or kick. Sometimes he jumped up and kicked the recruits facing him.

The guy with bare arms is more creative. He orders everyone to lie in a row on the ground, and then runs and jumps over everyone. The other three guys thought he was creative one after another and ran one by one.

"Attention, ten leaps!" A guy in a sweater sat by the bed, took out a bottle of wine, drank it, and watched the recruits suffer again and again. The recruits didn't resist. They immediately started to jump with their heads in their arms. Two guys accidentally bumped into each other and fell to the ground. He was immediately pulled to the front.

"You two stupid X's got a problem, don't you?" The guy with bare arms came up with a slap in the face, and one of the young people subconsciously hid for a while.

"Hide! Hide! I told you to hide! You stupid X The naked guy kicked the young man out with a few feet and knocked down a row of iron beds in the back.

"Get the beds up! A bunch of stupid X! " As soon as the man in the sea soul shirt finished speaking, several recruits immediately ran to help the bed up. They were more obedient than their sons. Although angry, no one stood up to resist. This is the Soviet Red Army. In fact, it's not just the Soviet Red Army. Maybe the US Army is the same. If you really think that the Soviet Red Army is the kind of idealized army depicted in movies or books, you are doomed.

"Listen, I'm going to give a new order again. Everyone raises their stools over their heads and squats." At the command of the man smoking at the head of the bed, the recruits immediately raised their stools over their heads. A guy put a cup on each stool and said, "don't drop it. Hold on. Whoever falls will smoke."

When everyone stood up, someone ordered: "count the number now, report the number!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three“

。。。。。。

At the end of the count, there were only forty-five people, and the bare man snapped, "where are the rest?"

"Here it is Xie liaosha and they stood at the door, staring at them without expression.
