Chapter 717 How can you be called a Marine without taking off a few layers of skin?!
Li Zheng and Hou Jun walked the 60-kilometer route very easily. The last ten kilometers did not require any running like Hell Week, and they walked at a regular marching pace all the way.
When we arrived at the designated station of the reconnaissance camp, it was already half past one in the afternoon.
The vehicles from the logistics support unit arrived early, and a simple training camp was quickly set up - they train here every year, and the terrain is not unfamiliar. Even the simple drainage ditch dug out in the camp last year is still vaguely visible.
The area around the accompanying cooking cart became lively, and the delicious meal was ready in less than 30 minutes.
When training in the wild, it is impossible to eat the same food as in the camp, but ensuring that you are full and keeping up with nutrition is the most basic thing.
After years of development, field cooking has already formed a more advanced system. Training in the field is not survival in the wild, so field food is rarely eaten, and hot food must be ensured.
The reason is simple. Under any conditions, having only one mouthful of hot food, even soup, is better than eating field food continuously. Even self-heating food cannot compare with the hot meals made by cooking trucks.
"Everyone, please move quickly! After putting away your equipment, you immediately take the food to the cooking class to prepare meals. Each platoon will arrange and organize on its own, and gather on time at two o'clock in the afternoon to go to the beach for training."
Li Zheng was lining up with the marines. Everyone liked this military officer. After all, he was kind and he was said to be very awesome. Soldiers in the army all admired strong men. If you are good at military affairs, everyone would look up to you.
So the soldiers in the front turned around and gave way, telling Li, "Come on, you come first."
This made Li Zheng really embarrassed. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't treat me like an officer. Even if I am an officer, officers and soldiers must be consistent, right? Come on, I will line up according to the rules. Stop being so polite!"
After saying this, everyone laughed.
They also like Li Zheng more.
I honestly think Li Pai has no airs, which is great.
Soldiering is actually very simple, there are not so many twists and turns, if you are good to him, he will really be good to you.
After eating, we found a shade tree, and everyone in the class gathered around.
Today we have three dishes: potato stewed chicken, pepper scrambled eggs, and scallion stir-fried beef. The soup is seaweed and egg drop soup, which is simple and nutritious.
Hou Jun picked up the food, looked around, stretched out his hand and put it under the sun, then touched the hard red soil, and then said: "Look! I said it will be 40 degrees Celsius at noon, is there anything wrong?"
Fatty Wei drank seaweed and egg drop soup and said with a smile: "Old squad leader, I'm not wrong. You see, there aren't many people who fainted here, right? Our camp doesn't have one, and the other camps combined are just like that."
Two, the salt thing is useless."
Hou Jun said: "That's because I overestimated you. I thought it was a Hell Week model."
Fatty Wei had participated in the Hell Week training with the Menghu Brigade, so he said: "Old squad leader, I tell you, don't underestimate the sea training of our Marine Corps. If you don't believe me, you will know it by the afternoon."
Li Zheng saw something meaningful in Fatty Wei's smile, so he asked out of curiosity: "What are you training for this afternoon?"
Fatty Wei said without thinking: "Sit down!"
"ah?"
Li Zheng and Hou Jun exchanged glances, but neither of them understood.
"What did you say?"
"Sit down!" Fatty Wei stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth and said, "Just sit down all afternoon."
Li Zheng: "..."
Hou Jun: "..."
Fatty Wei looked at the two of them, took a sip of soup and said, "But this is not an ordinary sitting."
He raised his chin and pursed his lips toward the beach in the distance.
"Sit on the beach, take off your shirt, and sit there motionless for three hours. This is called anti-exposure training. It is a kind of Marine Corps adaptive training. Every Marine must go through this training.
You don't even qualify as a Marine."
"scare?!"
Hou Jun felt a little strange.
There is no special anti-exposure training during Hell Week on Lu Te's side, because training usually takes place rain or shine, and even if the sun is blazing, you still have to stay on the training ground for several hours.
On the contrary, the Menghu Brigade had cold tolerance training during Hell Week, where they learned how to maintain their body temperature in extremely harsh cold conditions so as not to lose it too quickly and cause death from hypothermia.
Can be exposed to the sun for training...
Fatty Wei seemed to smell Hou Jun's doubts, and added: "Old squad leader, you will know after you try it. This training is not just a day or two. It runs through the sea training period of more than two months, basically every day."
Come here every other day.”
After saying that, he put down the rice bowl, pulled off his camouflage uniform, and exposed his bronze shoulders.
"Look, I wasn't that dark when I was in the Menghu Brigade, right?"
The soldiers all bathe together, and they all know how dark each other is.
Li Zheng took a look, hey! Not to mention, Fatty Wei is darker than when he served in the Menghu Brigade.
The face is almost the same color, but the skin here is the same color as the face, which really shows that the resistance to sun exposure here is extraordinary.
Hou Jun asked a strange question: "Fat Wei, according to your temperament, you are not allowed to secretly use sunscreen?"

Fatty Wei laughed when he heard this: "The old squad leader still understands me!"
After that, he said to Qiang Yong next to him: "The clothes are not as good as the new ones, and the old people are not as good as the old ones, right?"
Qiangyong shouted for a piece of beef, and nodded in agreement.
Fatty Wei then turned back to Hou Jun and said, "Old squad leader, just ask them. I actually secretly applied sunscreen for the first time. Guess what?"
Hou Jun asked curiously: "What happened? Were you punished?"
"Of course!" Fatty Wei said: "Don't tell me, the brand of sunscreen I bought is really a domestic product and easy to use! I was still a new recruit at that time, and it was my first time to participate in this kind of training.
Let’s train. The recruits are most afraid of it. The first time they faint, especially the ones that their comrades in the north are not used to, they faint one after another. I was the most unstable recruit in the whole battalion at that time.
Sitting there...how do you describe that? Not moving at all...that's not right...sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai...it's not right either..."
Li Zheng said: "Don't talk so much. What happened next?"
"He was discovered by the brigade commander." Fatty Wei lowered his head to eat the meat and said angrily.
This time, the comrades around him couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Qiang Yong said: "How dare you say that! I was your class deputy at that time, and I got slapped for this!"
Hou Jun asked: "The brigade commander personally inspected it?"
Qiang Yong said: "That's not true. The brigade commander usually comes here just to take a look, but when I first came here that year, I heard someone said that there was a recruit who was so awesome that he stayed in the sun for almost three hours without even frowning. You don't know, Hou Plai?"
, every recruit who is doing this kind of training for the first time will not frown. This guy Wei Pang has been in your brigade before, and it is not surprising that he has a strong tolerance, but no matter where you come from, you have never been through this.
During the first training session, my skin was as hot and uncomfortable as if someone had whipped it with a whip dipped in pepper water. There was no recruit who didn't have his teeth and mouth cracked. He, Fatty Wei, was better. Sitting there felt like he was on the beach at a resort.
It's like taking a sun bath, who wouldn't be surprised?"
After a pause and a sip of soup, Qiang Yong continued: "The brigade commander was going to praise him personally, so he walked behind him, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, 'Well done, young man'... This
There's a problem with shooting."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The soldiers around me couldn't help laughing when they thought about the situation back then, and they couldn't help but laugh and spit out their rice.
Fang Chengbo said to Hou Jun: "Hou Pai, do you know what our brigade commander said?"
Hou Jun seemed to be able to imagine the funny scene, but he still asked: "What did you say?"
Fang Chengbo held his breath to calm down the breath that had been messed up by laughing just now. When he came, he held his throat and imitated the voice of the brigade commander back then and said: "Oh my god! I'm all wet!?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
This time, the scene was completely uncontrollable, and everyone including Li Zheng and Hou Jun burst into laughter.
