"Class One should have a total strength of eleven soldiers, and they are all present," Ye Sanshi reported.
"The fourth class should consist of eleven soldiers, but there are only ten present. One of them is currently confined in the detention room," another squad leader informed.
After all the squads in the company assembled in front of the building, the squad leaders swiftly briefed the platoon leader on duty about the status of their respective squads.
The platoon leader on duty saluted Wu Jianfeng, who stood at the entrance of the stairwell, and reported, "Company Commander, roll call has been completed. The expected strength is ninety-five soldiers, but the actual strength is ninety-four."
Considering that not all squads had a full complement of ten recruits and accounting for the veteran squad leader, the total number was as stated.
"Fall in!" Wu Jianfeng stood on the steps of the dormitory, issuing the command with composure.
