In the afternoon meal, squad leaders were all absent.
The company leader went from squad to squad to inform, the squad leaders were in a meeting, and each squad should lead their team downstairs to gather on their own.
While singing the Ding-dong songs, the Chief of Staff arrived, had the duty officer lead everyone to sing all the military songs they had learned recently before letting them in. Having been reprimanded today, the new recruits were scared, thinking the Chief of Staff was dissatisfied. They sang with all their might, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.
Fang Huai knew that the Chief of Staff was here today to implement the superiors' spirit and to strengthen ideological education.
Once inside the cafeteria, the regiment duty officer shouted from the center.
"Today all squad leaders are absent! New recruits, feel free to start your meal! After the meal, company leaders and clerks take your troops back!"
