Taoyuan Farm was located in Changping County of Sanshan City. It wasn't far from the airport. Lei Hu's Mercedes-Benz soon arrived at the entrance of the farm.
The car was under the name of the Taoyuan Company. It often went in and out of the farm, so the guard raised the bar and let it pass.
However, Xia Ruofei caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He was standing at the window of the guard room and registering. There was a large military green backpack at his feet.
"Huzi, stop the car!" Xia Ruofei shouted.
Lei Hu didn't know what was going on, but he still stepped on the brakes. The car wasn't going fast, so it stopped quickly.
"Brother Xia, what's the matter?" Lei Hu turned around and asked.
Xia Ruofei said, "Wait for me."
After that, he opened the door, stepped out of the car, and walked toward the guard room.
At this time, the familiar figure Xia Ruofei had just finished registering. He smiled at the person in the guard room in a friendly manner, then bent down to carry the backpack again.
When he straightened up, he saw a person standing in front of him. He was slightly stunned, then showed an inexplicably surprised expression. He called out, "Squad leader!"
Xia Ruofei's face also showed a surprised smile. He said, "Haha! Deng Yujun! It's really you! That's why I thought your back looked a little familiar! "
Deng Yujun was Xia Ruofei's comrade-in-arms when he was in the military. Xia Ruofei was two years older than him, and he joined Lone Wolf two years earlier than him. Xia Ruofei was already a platoon leader when he retired. He took care of Deng Yujun when he was in the army, so the two had a very good relationship.
Deng Yujun was very talented in sniping, but his physical fitness was relatively weak. Especially in a unit like Lone Wolf Commando Team, his weakness in physical fitness was even more obvious. He was also selected to join Lone Wolf because of his talent in sniping.
When he first joined the team, the harsh physical training made Deng Yujun complain incessantly, and he even wanted to quit. Xia Ruofei, who was still the vice squad leader at the time, took the initiative to talk to him and encourage him. At the same time, he used his spare time to give him special training based on his own experience in physical training. He focused on training his heart and lung function, so Deng Yujun slowly adapted to the intensity of Lone Wolf's training.
Therefore, Deng Yujun was always grateful to Xia Ruofei.
Deng Yujun said excitedly, "Squad leader! It was Commander Ma who contacted me and said that your company needed to recruit a group of veterans to form Guard...... and I resigned without hesitation! "
"That's great!" Xia Ruofei punched Deng Yujun's chest and said with a laugh, "Brothers, we can get together again!"
Then, Xia Ruofei revealed a puzzled expression and said, "But … why did you retire as well? Weren't you just promoted to vice squad leader when I left the army? "
The mobility of the Lone Wolf Commandos was relatively lower than that of ordinary troops because it took a relatively long period to nurture an outstanding special forces soldier. Therefore, the Lone Wolf Commandos were mainly made up of officers and non-commissioned officers. Moreover, the number of mid-level and high-ranking non-commissioned officers was far higher than that of ordinary combat troops.
Calculating the time, Deng Yujun should have retired when he was just a sergeant. Under normal circumstances, an excellent sniper had a very long career. There would be no problem for him to be promoted to sergeant. Even if he continued to be promoted to sergeant, there was still a high chance of him being promoted to sergeant. Xia Ruofei knew that some of the old squad leaders in the sniper position in the Lone Wolf Commandos had already become third-grade sergeant major. There was even a second-grade sergeant major. Later, because he was too old, he was transferred to the training team to be a shooting instructor. A second-grade sergeant major could extend his service until he retired.
It was not easy to train an excellent sniper in the army. Not to mention other things, just the number of bullets used was innumerable. No matter how good a sharpshooter was, they still needed to be fed bullets. Only countless live shots and countless repetitions could the technical movements become muscle memory.
Deng Yujun smiled bitterly and said, "I retired at the end of last year. Squad leader, it's a long story. I'll tell you later if there's a chance!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Okay! Don't think too much. Since you've already left the army, then do well here! Now that you're here, I definitely won't treat you badly! "
Deng Yujun grinned and said, "Of course! I'm a soldier that you trained! "
Xia Ruofei patted Deng Yujun's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go! Get in the car with me! I just came back from another place. Let's go and see which brothers Wolf King recruited for me! "
"Yes!" Deng Yujun said.
Lei Hu had already gotten out of the car. He said cleverly, "Squad leader, give me your backpack!"
"Thank you! I'll take it myself … "Deng Yujun smiled and said to Lei Hu in a friendly manner.
Lei Hu grabbed Deng Yujun's backpack without saying anything. He walked quickly to the car and put the backpack in the trunk.
Deng Yujun and Xia Ruofei sat in the back of the Mercedes-Benz. Lei Hu started the car and drove in the direction of the staff dormitory.
When the car arrived at the company's original office building, Xia Ruofei saw that Ma Zheng was organizing the veterans for formation training.
More than thirty people were divided into four horizontal lines. They were walking in unison on the square in front of the building. Each line had a squad leader who was in charge of leading them. Ma Zheng stood at the side and watched everyone's training.
These veterans were all wearing military green spring and autumn uniforms. They did not have epaulets, cap badges, or military symbols.
Every troop was shouting out loud slogans as they moved forward.
For a moment, Xia Ruofei was absent-minded. It was as if he had returned to the military camp.
Deng Yujun and Lei Hu had the same reaction as Xia Ruofei. Lei Hu came back to his senses and stopped the car slowly by the side. Xia Ruofei and Deng Yujun quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
Ma Zheng saw Xia Ruofei at a glance. He immediately blew the whistle and said loudly, "Stop! Rest for ten minutes! "
Then, Ma Zheng walked quickly to Xia Ruofei and said happily, "Ruofei, I heard that you're coming back soon. I didn't expect it to be so soon! Eh? Deng Yujun? You're finally here! "
Deng Yujun saluted Ma Zheng subconsciously and said, "Company Commander! Deng Yujun reporting for duty! "
Ma Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm no longer a company commander. Now we have to listen to Boss Xia's command!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Who said that? You'll always be our Company Commander! Yujun, don't you think so? "
Deng Yujun was also a smart soldier. He quickly said, "Yes! Yes! Anyway, you were my Company Commander when I retired. I only recognize you as my Company Commander! "
"You two rascals, you were as good as one when you were in the army. Now you're still singing the same tune!" Ma Zheng couldn't help but laugh and scold.
At this time, the veterans who had been dismissed and resting gathered around.
"Squad Leader Xia!"
"Ruofei!"
"Little Xia!"
They all greeted Xia Ruofei and called him all kinds of names. Of course, there were also some veterans who retired before Xia Ruofei joined Lone Wolf. They were not that familiar with Xia Ruofei, but before they came, Wolf King Xia Ruofei had already explained the situation to them. So, they naturally knew that Xia Ruofei was their future boss. So, they all looked at Xia Ruofei curiously from the periphery.
Some of the veterans who greeted Xia Ruofei were his old squad leaders, some were about the same age as him, some retired in the same year as Xia Ruofei, and some were like Deng Yujun, who had less experience than Xia Ruofei. So, everyone addressed him differently.
The few veterans who retired in the same year as Xia Ruofei didn't have a good time in the past few years.
Some chose to be demobilized. Although the retirement fee was relatively higher, it was difficult for them to use the professional skills they had learned in the army. A few hundred thousand seemed like a lot, but in reality, they wouldn't be able to last for a few years. If their business failed, this amount of money wouldn't even be enough to make a splash.
A portion of those who chose to be resettled were not in a better situation. Many of them were placed in enterprises, and some were placed in public institutions. Day after day, the daily necessities slowly eroded their fighting spirit.
After receiving a call from Wolf King Guo Zhan or Company Commander Ma Zheng, most of the veterans didn't hesitate and chose to accept the invitation. Then, they gathered at the Three Mountains from all directions.
Some had reported a few days ago, and some were still on the way. There would be more coming in the next two days.
Xia Ruofei was also very happy. He shook hands with everyone and greeted them one by one.
Many of the veterans who had retired before Xia Ruofei had not seen him for many years. Some of them had even taken care of Xia Ruofei, a new recruit. Now that they were reunited at the Three Mountains, everyone was naturally very happy.
Hugs, handshakes, and greetings. The small square in front of the comprehensive building was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
After a while, Ma Zheng let everyone start training again. Some of these veterans had left the army for many years, but they were still very resolute in following orders. Moreover, their formation movements were still standard. Perhaps it was because they hadn't lived in a military camp for a long time, but their enthusiasm for training was still very high. Soon, they started training in full swing.
Lei Hu took Deng Yujun to the staff dormitory not far away to put down their luggage. This building was still very new. In the past, it was used for employees to take a lunch break. Some of the employees also lived here directly. Later, after the company's headquarters moved to the city, it was too inconvenient to go to work from here. In addition, the company also provided rent subsidies, so the employees had already moved to the city to live. Now that the place was almost empty, it was just right for the veterans to use.
Xia Ruofei followed Ma Zheng to the side of the square. Xia Ruofei asked, "Company Commander, why are you here so soon? I thought it would take a while for you to be free! Have you finished with the relocation of the army? "
Ma Zheng smiled and said, "The work is never finished. After the relocation, there are still a lot of things to do at the new base! But I'm already a surplus cadre. Moreover, after the new base, everyone will be reorganized according to the new organizational structure. The company will also have a new commanding officer. Wouldn't I be creating problems for them if I stayed there? In addition, I felt that you also needed someone to help you organize the veterans, so I asked Wolf King in advance to give me a month's leave! I rushed over directly! Old Liu and the others still need some time before they can get their leave! "
Back then, Guo Zhan had recommended four officers to Xia Ruofei. Other than the old Company Commander Ma Zheng, there was also the Quartermaster Liu Mingtian, the Security Company Instructor Wu Jiasong, and the Automobile Company's Deputy Company Commander Zhong Lin.
