When everyone ran all the way to the long table at the supply point and stretched out their hands to ask for water, they saw the instructor with a wicked smile looking at a few people, pouring cold water on them and saying: "Who said this water is for you to drink?"
of?"
"If it's not a drink, why should it be used to wash your face??!" Fatty Wei was the first to be unhappy. Thirst made his eyes start to glow green, and he almost didn't go up to grab it.
"It's okay to wash your face. It's almost time to wash your face." The instructor said as the two security personnel next to him carried a large box and opened it...
When everyone saw it, their hearts suddenly became cold.
Inside is a pile of diving masks.
This thing is very common. In fact, many people will buy it for home use, but the one used by Jiaolong is a semi-closed diving mask that seals the eyes and nose together.
They are all experienced veterans, and they can see at a glance what this thing is and what it does.
Because Haite has to deal with the sea all year round, diving, and working underwater, this kind of mask is the most used underwater.
In order to simulate underwater operations and enhance soldiers' adaptability to the sea environment when on land, a training called "wearing a mask" is often conducted.
Its function is just like the Army training to wear gas masks. It is actually a routine.
Wearing a mask is not just about putting it on. Often instructors will ask soldiers to fill the mask with sea water. The mask can be adsorbed on the face to make it very sealed. The water sealed in the mask will always be there, keeping it at full temperature.
Mirror state is equivalent to covering your mouth and nose underwater.
This kind of training simulates underwater operation scenarios and mainly tests two aspects of ability - testing the team members' ability to handle and adapt when their masks are filled with water or choking on water, and secondly, testing the team members' ability to see with the naked eye in the water.
In the minds of several people, tens of thousands of grass and mud horses could no longer be described as running over. It was simply like tens of thousands of elephants trampling over...
"It's all timed now."
The instructor reminded everyone.
"Every minute and every second of delay will be recorded in your total score."
When he said this, there was no time to vent any complaints.
Even Fatty Wei, who was always talkative, stopped talking and babbled. He quickly grabbed a mask and filled it directly with water in a large plastic bucket. He lowered his head and put it on his eyes and nose, and then carefully pressed it.
Check the sealing rubber around the mask, tighten the elastic band, and then raise your head after ensuring it fits completely and is adsorbed.
At this time, Fatty Wei was like an undersea creature.
His eyes were full of water, and his nostrils were also filled with water. He could only rely on his throat to breathe.
But this inhalation brought new problems.
People are already so thirsty that their throats are filled with smoke. One of the biggest fatalities of breathing solely through the throat and mouth is that it causes dry mouth and throat. This time it is even worse.
Suddenly, he leaned down, put his hands together and took a handful of sea water and drank it directly into his mouth.
Instructor Jiaolong who was supervising was startled and said, "What are you doing!? This is sea water!"
Fatty Wei didn't care anymore, he wasn't afraid anymore, and his anger that was full of anger found an outlet.
"Seawater is just seawater. You can't drink seawater? The rules say you're not allowed to drink the seawater here?!"
Fatty Wei responded with a domineering tone.
I've already done this, why the hell am I reduced to drinking sea water, why do I care so much?
Instructor Jiaolong was scolded by him, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "Recruit Danzi, drink sea water and you will die of thirst later!"
"If you die of thirst, you will die of thirst. It is better to die of thirst later than to die of thirst now. Besides, I am just supplementing some salt. I am sweating too much. Can't I supplement the salt?"
Fatty Wei is Fatty Wei, and he is never timid with his mouth. There are definitely many reasons.
Zhang Jian and the others also put on their masks and reached out to remove Fatty Wei: "Let's go!"
Now everyone speaks with their noses closed, so their voices sound strange and somewhat deformed.
Several people came to the rubber boat, held their breath, lifted it up with all their strength, and continued on their way.
Instructor Jiaolong shouted from behind: "Be careful not to miss anything in the middle! You have to measure the volume at the end. If you miss a milliliter, you will have to deduct points!"
have to!
Good idea!
This is also a training tradition.
Everyone knows it, it's just a repeated reminder from the instructor.
In order to prevent laziness - we do not rule out anyone from lazing under extreme conditions, so just like the Army's five-kilometer run, you must check whether your water bottle is full before starting the run, and lift the water bottle uniformly at the finish line
Turn it upside down to see who is not satisfied with the water. All standard kettles have the same capacity. If you pour out the water halfway or pour out half of the water, you only need to turn the kettle over, and the original shape will be revealed immediately.
Haite's carrying a boat while wearing a mask and Lu Te's running wearing a gas mask are both brutal and inhumane subjects.
Because the nasal cavity and the oral cavity are connected, you must always be vigilant about closing the septum between them, otherwise water will choke from the nasal cavity into the mouth if you are not careful.
Of course, it is not difficult for people who have been training to dive all year round to do this.
But what's worse is the sight, because the mask is full of sea water, which makes seeing things as if through a layer of frosted glass. It's hazy, everything you see looks like a lake, and you can't see anything farther away at all.
The way everyone walks is called swaying left and right. In such a bad situation, you must always be careful not to loosen your mask. If there is water leakage, your performance will be affected...
This is simply...
Fatty Wei is still Fatty Wei.
Even now, he is still laughing.
He teased Zhang Jian, who was walking in front, as if he was doing yangko while walking, and he teased Shi Wen, saying that he was swaying as he walked after drinking three bottles of Erguotou, completely ignoring that he was actually walking like a disco twirler.
Maybe it was Fatty Wei, the pistachio, who played a role in releasing pressure in the team, or maybe it was because Team 1 was already ahead in speed.
Anyway, in the end they were the first team to reach the finish line and were not overtaken by the teams behind them.
There is still a long table at the end, and there are cups on it that are exactly the same as those at the supply point.
Everyone carefully took off the mask, as if the water in the cup was not sea water but liquid gold. They poured the water into the cup in front of them almost reverently, staring at the scale outside the cup until the instructor in charge of the inspection came up.
Waving his hands: "Passed!"
Only then can you breathe a sigh of relief.
However, things are not over yet.
Before they had time to take a breath, everyone received a new order, and immediately set off to return to the original target point for reconnaissance. However, this time the advance was not carried out alone, but they still had to carry the deflated rubber boat until they were carried out according to the instructions.
The planned route passes through a swamp and then enters the lurking point, where the rubber boat is put down and hidden, and then the last mission - reconnaissance and raiding is carried out.
After such continuous tossing, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun has become the setting sun and gradually sets towards the west.
After a day of baking, the ground has turned into a huge steamer, steam rising upwards.
Today, apart from the water in their own water bottles, no one had anything to fill their stomachs.
If anyone had less willpower and heard that he had to walk nearly ten kilometers through the swamp to reach the target point to perform a reconnaissance mission, he would have collapsed a long time ago.
What if everyone still has physical strength at this time?
The answer is yes, no more.
But if you don’t have the physical strength, do you just give up?
