The first day of the next company was simply a magical day.
During the day it was all about general cleaning, and in the evening there was a meal of extra dishes to welcome the new year, which made everyone’s mouth drip with oil and their belly became round.
At night, for the first time, I only ran three kilometers once, then Ming Jin withdrew and went back to wash up and sleep.
When going to take a shower, Fatty Wei said that he had a video call with a friend the night before he left the company. The other person was eating outside and there happened to be a retired veteran at the same table, so Fatty Wei humbly asked the drunk friend.
The veteran, whose face was red and tongue-tied, asked for advice on his experiences in the army.
The veteran said that training with the veterans after joining the company is usually not too hard. He had a comfortable life after joining the company, and it has been two years in the blink of an eye. He just feels that he has not been a soldier enough.
Fatty Wei was so happy when he said this that he almost didn't laugh out loud.
Li Zheng also ignored it because he always felt that something was wrong.
Fortunately, Li Zheng didn't believe it either.
the more you hope, the harder you fall.
Things in the world are so strange. The more you want something, the less often you can get it.
Fatty Wei wanted to feel comfortable, but in the end, Silian didn't feel comfortable at all.
Early the next morning, an emergency gathering kicked off the morning exercises.
After gathering, we ran around the camp for three kilometers on the cement road. After everyone was sweating from running, we gathered and stood on the basketball court.
The person on duty today is platoon leader Hou Jun.
Wearing the red armband of "duty officer", he stood in front of the team and looked at the sweaty recruits. He smiled and asked everyone: "I think there must be many recruits who feel that they will be very comfortable after joining the company."
,Yeah?"
Everyone suddenly felt that something bad was going on, and there was a feeling of a dark cloud hanging over them.
Li Zheng felt that sweat had already flowed down his legs like a stream in his pants and poured into his training shoes.
Look at the veterans standing around you.
They seemed to be used to it, and there was much less sweat on their faces.
Li Zheng clearly felt the gap between himself and the veterans in the platoon.
I thought that my physical fitness was pretty good in the recruit company, but when I got to the fourth company...
Especially compared with these veterans, there seems to be no advantage at all.
Hou Jun continued: "In the Menghu Regiment, do you know which company has the best training?"
He pointed to the barracks behind him.
There is a red plaque on the wall of the barracks. It is made of cement, with yellow characters on a red background and a yellow frame. It reads - Fourth Company of Sharpshooters.
"It's our fourth company!"
He paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and then said: "The pie will not fall in vain from the sky, and the results will not fall on us for no reason. The brand of the Fourth Company is the blood of our ancestors."
What is solidified is also cultivated with the sweat of generations of veterans. Therefore, as a soldier of the Fourth Company, the word "hardship" must first be engraved in your heart. If you are a soldier, you are not afraid of hardship. If you are afraid of hardship, you should not be a soldier. What I want to say is,
If you want to feel comfortable, don’t come to Silian, and if you come to Silian, don’t even think about being comfortable!”
After injecting some chicken blood, Hou Jun saw that the heat was almost done, so he said: "Each platoon will separate and organize training on common subjects, focusing on physical fitness!"
The second, third, and artillery platoons were all taken away, leaving only one platoon in place.
Hou Jun added: "Tall buildings rise from the ground, and their common subjects are the foundations. Professional subjects are the buildings built on the foundations. Therefore, your physical fitness and common subjects must be basically the same as those of veterans within a month, and you can keep up."
The extent to which veterans are not left behind.”
He took out his stopwatch and reset the time to zero.
"Let's try the five-kilometer test again. This time you old comrades, run freely and don't worry about the new recruits. Where are the new recruits? You must keep up with the old comrades and not fall behind. Whoever falls behind for more than one minute will be punished by me and I will punish him by running again.
"
He turned to Wu Yi, Chen Zhong and the others and said, "Leave it to you."
Wu Yi came to the command position and pointed in the direction of the hillside in the distance: "Did you see it? Our camp is surrounded by mountains on three sides with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It is simply a geomantic treasure! Our company's camp is larger than other companies' camps. Do you know why?
Is it big? Because we are awesome! Only companies that are awesome enough deserve to be stationed here!"
Awesome...
After listening to this, Li Zheng felt that his lips were a little dry.
Once Wu Yi says anything awesome, it's bound to be bad.
Fatty Wei whispered from the side: "Li Zheng, something seems to be wrong..."
Li Zheng gave him a wry smile.
What can I do if I feel bad?
Didn’t you say before that you would be comfortable if you joined the company?
have a look!
Not to mention other classes, just my own class, four recruits and six veterans.
He is still a little confident in his five-kilometer performance, and he will probably have no problem keeping up with the veterans.
It's just the pretty boy Jiang Xuan and the others who are in dire straits.
"Okay, without further ado, let's get familiar with our company's five-kilometer route. The three kilometers just now were just activities. Now show your true skills and follow the veterans and don't fall behind."
Wu Yi became more and more excited as he talked.
He himself had already lifted up his trouser legs and sleeves, looking like he was gearing up.
Beep——
As a sharp whistle sounded, Wu waved his hand and pointed at the hill on the right side of the company: "Run! Run along the road in the direction of the hill!"
Ranwen
The veterans had already run out in a familiar voice. The new recruits, who were a little confused for a while, were like helpless chickens. They panicked in place for a while before they started running.
Originally, Li Zheng thought that the five-kilometer route here was no different from the one in the new military camp. The five-kilometer route in the new military camp was basically a cement road. There was a section where he had to run out of the camp on the national highway and run along the road to the Normal University.
Turn the door position again.
Overall, the road is pretty standard.
But when he ran one kilometer and entered the dirt road next to the hill, things started to go wrong.
This is a mountain road!
Pure mountain road!
Because this road is a five-kilometer route that winds around various hills on the edge of the mountains, it is the kind of hard loess road with a thin layer of sand on it, making it rustle when running.
.
What's even worse is that many of the dirt roads here pass through the edge of mountains. They have to go up a small slope, and then they suddenly turn around and start going downhill again, just like a winding mountain road.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After running two kilometers, Li Zheng felt that his calves were more tired than ever before, and he felt like he was going to cramp.
The uphill slope is not the scariest thing, but the downhill slope is scary. When going downhill, the training shoes step on the sand, and it feels like stepping on small steel balls, and the soles of the feet feel like they are about to slide out of control.
.
After running less than two kilometers, three of the new recruits had already fallen.
This includes Fatty Wei.
Since the day of the recruit assessment, Fatty Wei broke the seal with his five-kilometer cross-country trip, and the explosion of the small universe has transformed into a golden saint.
This guy was originally so arrogant that he rushed into the crowd of veterans, but he accidentally fell on his butt while going downhill. Two clear snot fell directly from his nasal cavity and hung on his mouth and chin.
Li Zheng happened to be at the side, picked him up, pushed him and continued running.
While running, Li Zheng suddenly thought of the pretty boy Jiang Xuan.
When I looked back, I didn't see Jiang Xuan.
I thought, that's too bad.
Could it be that he was left behind and disappeared, right?
With this hesitation, a few more people passed by him.
Li Zheng subconsciously ran forward a few steps, but suddenly felt unbearable and stopped.
Fatty Wei noticed that he had stopped and gasped and asked: "What...what..."
Li Zheng pointed behind him: "Where's the pretty boy?"
Fatty Wei wiped the sweat from his face: "You don't even care about yourself, why do you care about him? Run away quickly, don't go back and be punished!"
Li Zheng looked towards the front of the team and saw that the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders had already run to the front. This time, everyone ran together, including the squad leaders, except for Hou Platoon.
Ignoring the pretty boy at this time, Li Zheng was worried that he would not be able to find his way back later.
"Fat man, help Xiaobai!"
He said.
Fatty Wei thought for a while, then looked at the disappearing crowd in front of him. He seemed to be struggling for a moment, and then shook his head: "I can't do it, I don't want to be punished! I can't help him."
After saying that, he turned around and ran forward.
