Chapter 42 6th Company VS Logistics Company
“Haha! Company Commander Qin, you’re really good at leading troops!”
The 6th company commander smiled, trying to hide the awkwardness of being rejected by Geng Hu.
“Nah! These guys are used to being lazy. They’re not willing to leave such a relaxed place like the logistics company!”
Qin Yuan glanced at the soldiers of the logistics company and was very pleased.
The logistics company still had some conscience. At least they did not let Qin Yuan down for taking care of them for the past two months.
In fact, the soldiers of the logistics company knew very well that although Qin Yuan’s training was very cruel, he was still a soldier.
However, Qin Yuan really cared about every soldier in their logistics company.
This was because Qin Yuan did not give up on them like the previous company commanders. Instead, he trained them very diligently.
Now, the soldiers of the logistics company could not have such strength without Qin Yuan.
It could be said that without Qin Yuan, there would not be the current logistics company. Moreover, the crueler Qin Yuan’s training was, the more they would improve. They enjoyed the process of becoming stronger.
“Company Commander Qin, how about this, let our two companies have a compet.i.tion tomorrow?”
The 6th company commander saw the determination in the eyes of the soldiers of the logistics company and was eager to know how much Qin Yuan had trained the logistics company in two months.
“Alright! Let them have a compet.i.tion tomorrow!”
“Otherwise, these youngsters will have nowhere to vent their energy and end up fighting each other.”
Qin Yuan also understood the thoughts of the commander of the 6th Battalion and accepted his suggestion. Besides, Qin Yuan also felt that it was time for the logistics battalion to come out and sharpen their skills.
The soldiers of the 6th Battalion would be a good choice.
“Commander of the 6th Battalion, since that’s the case, how about we sweeten the deal a bit?” Qin Yuan immediately proposed.
When the 6th company commander heard Qin Yuan’s suggestion, he was also a little surprised. Could it be that Qin Yuan was so confident in the logistics company?
No matter what, their 6th Company was still the top company in the Iron Fist Regiment. Although the logistics company had changed a lot, it had only been two months.
It was impossible to surpa.s.s his 6th company.
The 6th company commander did not think too much about it and immediately agreed to Qin Yuan’s suggestion.
“Alright.”
“Commander Qin, what are you planning?”
“My 6th Battalion is ready to accompany you.
Upon receiving the reply from the commander of the 6th Battalion, Qin Yuan directly expressed his thoughts.
“Then let’s do it this way. If our logistics team loses in a row,”
“Then I’ll give you the 200,000 bullets that the regiment commander gave me when I came to the logistics company.”
“In addition to five Type 88 sniper rifles and 10,000 grenades?”
Hearing Qin Yuan’s words, the 6th company commander was also shocked. He did not expect Qin Yuan to place such a big bet.
Even if it was their 6th company, that was almost three months’ worth of military supplies.
The 6th Company Commander was hesitant about such a big bet. After all, their 6th Company did not have many military supplies.
“Company Commander Qin! Isn’t that a little too much?”
The 6th company commander frowned. He did not dare to gamble with so many military supplies.
It was not that he did not trust the soldiers of the 6th Company, but he could not see through Qin Yuan. He did not believe that Qin Yuan would do something that he was not confident in.
It was better to be safe than sorry! If they were to lose by accident, then the 6th company would have to face the northwest wind for the next three months.
“6th Company Commander, don’t worry, you don’t need to bet the same stakes as me.”
Seeing the furrowed brows of the commander of the 6th company, Qin Yuan also understood what he was hesitating about.
“So, shall we…”
The 6th company commander looked at Qin Yuan in confusion.
“If your 6th company loses, how about helping our logistics company manage the pigsty and vegetable fields for half a month?”
“What?”
“Just to help you manage the pigs and vegetables for half a month?”
The 6th company commander was surprised.
He did not expect Qin Yuan’s conditions to be so simple.
“Yes! 6th Company Commander, do you think this is okay?”
“Sure! Yes! It’s settled then.” The 6th company commander instantly laughed out loud. He walked up to Qin Yuan and patted him on the shoulder. “Company Commander Qin, it’s settled then. See you at the training ground tomorrow.”
“Alright! See you at the training ground tomorrow.” Qin Yuan replied.
After saying that, the 6th Company Commander immediately led the soldiers of the 6th Company back.
Before he left, he was all smiles and walked much faster, afraid that Qin Yuan would go back on his word the next second. To him, he believed that with the strength of the soldiers of the 6th Company, it was a certainty that they would win this compet.i.tion. Moreover, even if they lost, they would only be helping Qin Yuan and the others raise pigs for half a month. It was not a loss. “Company Commander Qin! You tricked 6th Company into helping us raise pigs for half a month.”
“You want to…”
Zhou Qing knew that Qin Yuan must have thought of how to train the soldiers of the logistics company again. When Qin Yuan planned to bet with the 6th company commander, he knew that Qin Yuan must have his own plans. Logistics battalion losing? He had never thought about it before, maybe before they didn’t even have the qualifications to compete.
But now… He was very clear about the current strength of the logistics company. “It’s just the right time for 6th Company to verify the results of their efforts.”
“The military exercise is coming soon. We have to be prepared.”
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and said to Liu Ye beside him, “Right, Deputy Commander Liu, go to the weapons room and prepare 50 sets of individual combat equipment.”
“After the compet.i.tion with the 6th Company, we will have to carry out the next stage of training.”
“Alright, Company Commander!”
“Alright, everyone, go back and rest.”
With that, the logistics company went back to wash up. They all knew that this compet.i.tion was what the company commander wanted the 6th Company to manage the camp for half a month.
They had no idea what kind of cruel training they would have to go through in the next half a month, and how many hardships awaited them!
The next day.
The sky had just turned slightly white.
The soldiers of the 6th Company and the Logistics Company had all gathered and were waiting for the instructions of their respective company commanders on the training ground.
“Company Commander Qin, since we want to compete, let’s start with the morning exercise.”
The 6th company commander walked over to Qin Yuan.
“Okay, why don’t you suggest how to compete?”
“Company Commander Qin, our 6th Company will not bully anyone. For the sake of fairness.”
“Let’s choose one event at a time. There will be five rounds in total. How about three wins out of five?” The 6th company commander immediately explained the rules of the compet.i.tion.
“Alright!”
“Alright, your 6th Company can choose first since you are our guests,” replied Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan showed no signs of panic on his face. With the current strength of the logistics company, they were not afraid of the 6th Company in any military event. Otherwise, the intense training of the logistics company over the past two months would have been in vain.
“Alright, then how about we compete in the first round of armed cross-country training?”
“Sure!” Qin Yuan replied indifferently.
“Alright, then let’s do a five-kilometer cross-country with a 50-kilogram weight. The end point is at the sea training ground. The team whose soldiers finish first will be considered the winner.”
“What? 50 kg?”
Just as the 6th company commander finished speaking about the rules of the compet.i.tion, all the soldiers of the logistics company suddenly shouted.
“50 kg? Captain, are we really carrying 50 kilograms?”
“That’s right! Company Commander, really?”
The soldiers of the logistics company asked Qin Yuan directly.
It had been a long time since the logistics company had such a light load of 50 kilograms. Now, the entire company’s load had been replaced with iron, and the lightest was 95 kilograms.
Therefore, the moment the 6th company commander finished speaking, everyone hurriedly asked Qin Yuan.
When the soldiers of the 6th Company heard that the logistics company asked the soldiers to carry 50 kilograms of weight, they all laughed. “Exactly. The soldiers of their logistics company can carry 50 kilograms of weight? 30 kilograms is already too much for them.”
“That’s right! Company commander, isn’t this bullying!”
“Our platoon leader is a real jerk, using any means necessary just for the sake of a bet.”
“Alright, I don’t even know why the captain wants us to compete with them.”
“Finish the compet.i.tion earlier and quickly start training.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
The troops of the 6th Company thought that the soldiers of the Logistics Company were afraid of the 50 kilograms of weight. The group of people in the team discussed animatedly with a hint of playfulness in their tone.
