It really echoes the old saying - misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on the back of misfortune.
When Team 1 just entered the sea for a 300-meter light swim, they took the initiative to avoid being kicked. At first, they seemed to be lagging behind, but in the end they caught up.
Just when everyone thought they were going to take first place in this subject, something unexpected like losing their equipment suddenly happened.
Generally speaking, omissions are usually caused by watertight packages.
A watertight bag is a black rubber bag with a zipper. After putting things in, blow air into it to make it swell up. This thing acts like a swimming ring.
The watertight bag is tied to one's body with a rope. In the past training, there were cases where the watertight bag became loose and floated away because the rope was not fastened tightly.
The gun was carried on his back, so there was no way he could have dropped it.
But Zhang Jianzi didn't see anything floating on the sea.
"I haven't lost anything!"
"Neither does mine!"
"I didn't lose mine!"
"It's okay! Did you see it wrong?"
Fatty Wei and other team members immediately checked their equipment and found that nothing was missing.
Zhang Jian is even more convinced that Xiao Jun will not talk nonsense.
Although this guy is a bit ruthless in his training, he is absolutely reliable.
"Oops!"
Zhang Jian suddenly remembered something.
Maybe something went wrong here.
There were no loose watertight bags on the sea, and the gun was also there, so the things left on the ship could only be personal belongings.
The supplies in the watertight bag include personal reconnaissance equipment, carrying gear, ammunition, etc. These fragmentary items add up to a lot, is it possible that one of them is missing?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jian's head went numb.
"I'll go back and take a look. There must be something leaking in the rubber boat!"
Although he was now more than thirty meters away from the rubber boat, Zhang Jian had to look back.
Because if one piece of equipment is missing, five points will be deducted, and if two pieces are missing, it will be 10 points.
It stands to reason that the supplies in the watertight bag will not be missed. After boarding the rubber boat and loading the supplies into the watertight bag, you need to check each other to make sure nothing is missing before setting off.
But just now everyone was in a state of excitement because they were temporarily ahead. Was there any oversight during the inspection?
"No! I'll go back and get it!"
Qiang Yong stopped Zhang Jian.
"You are the commander of the team. The team cannot be commanded without you. I am good at water. I will follow after I go back and get the things!"
This is no longer the time for democratic discussion. Every second is wasted, and the previous lead will be lost unconsciously.
Everyone is anxious, but that's all they can do.
"good!"
Zhang Jian no longer insisted.
"Qiangyong, you must hurry up! Success or failure depends on you!"
"I understand! Fatty Wei, bring me a gun and a watertight bag. I'll go back with my bare hands!"
Without saying a word, Qiang Yong took off the watertight bag and gun and handed them to Fatty Wei, then turned around and swam towards the rubber boat.
The reason why the watertight bag is removed is because although the watertight bag can save labor, the watertight bag also has a disadvantage, that is, it will increase the resistance and slow down the speed.
This is a double-edged sword.
If you do it with your bare hands, it will speed up the process, but if you don't rely on a watertight bag for a distance of 1.5 kilometers, it will be a very big test for your physical strength.
But in order to fight for speed, this is the only way.
Everyone in the team knew the risks of doing so, and they also knew that Qiang Yong had gone all out this time.
But now, no one can question anything, and there is no better way, let alone sit down and discuss countermeasures.
The same is true on the battlefield. Decisions are often made in an instant, and the commander executes them immediately after agreeing. It is not the turn of any soldier to think about anything, otherwise the team will be destroyed.
The military emphasizes "absolute obedience to orders", and this is why.
Zhang Jian stopped nagging, turned around, and led the team to swim forward.
Team 074 obviously saw that Team 1 was in trouble, and they suddenly became excited.
"Brothers! Team 1 is in trouble, we must seize the opportunity to surpass them!"
No. 074 Wang Haiyang seized the opportunity to cheer for his team members.
Although cheering at this time may seem a bit precarious, it is the best way to boost morale.
Previously, they fell behind due to competing for the swimming route. Originally, the second team saw that the first team led by Zhang Jian had opened a distance of more than 30 meters. It was almost impossible to catch up and surpass them. Fortunately, God gave a chance, and this first team was actually here.
There are times when supplies are left behind.
What a God-given opportunity!
Encouraged by Wang Haiyang, Team 2 began to scream and speed up. Although they still couldn't catch up with Team 1, at least the hope of victory was in front of them.
Armed swimming is the same as armed cross-country. How fast you swim individually does not count. The time of the first place is not counted. The time of the last member of the team to arrive is counted. This shall prevail.
In other words, even if Team 1 is thrown away from Team 2 by a hundred meters or even one kilometer, they still have to wait for Qiang Yong to go back and join them.
Qiang Yong turned around and went back to the rubber boat to get supplies, twice the distance back and forth. Now it can be said that it seems that the four people in Team 1 are in the lead, but in fact they are at the bottom.
Qiang Yong quickly returned to the rubber boat, climbed up and inspected it carefully, and found a sealed bag at the bow.
This bag is used to hold maps and intelligence documents, so it is not big, very thin, and is black, the same color as the rubber boat. Originally, this thing should have been put into the watertight bag early, but I don’t know if it was not installed during the installation.
Either I accidentally dropped it or I didn't put it in from the beginning. This thing was lying there quietly and became a nightmare for Team 1 today.
"grass!"
Qiang Yong didn't have time to think about the reason for the omission. He picked up the sealed bag, opened the camouflage suit, stuffed it into the round neck of the fitness suit, and carried it close to his body.
After finishing, he glanced ahead.
The slowest one from the other three teams swam about thirty meters.
From the original leading position to now 30 meters behind, the situation went downhill in an instant. The severe test suddenly hit the waist without knowing it, catching the members of Team 1 off guard.
Today, Zhang Jian still leads Team 1, and he is at the forefront of breaking the waves.
Changes in circumstances forced him to change his original plans and start over from scratch.
The original plan was that he and Qiang Yong were responsible for driving the last 1.5 kilometers, each of them half a section, but now he had to ride the waves alone to the end.
Qiang Yong's back and forth must have consumed a lot of energy, and it was unrealistic to expect him to make waves.
Fatty Wei, who has excellent physical fitness and swimming skills, dragged two watertight bags and two guns. He also gritted his teeth and persisted. It was amazing that he could persist to the end without slowing down the speed of the topic.
A small incident caused serious consequences for the entire team, and every member was no exception.
At this moment, morale dropped to freezing point.
