"Who is that?"
At the military parade, the military leaders sitting directly in front remained silent. Instead, Cui Bai, the commander of the special operations brigade, spoke first, looking very interested.
"Old Song, didn't you say that there were only three new comrades in your training center who performed well this year? Why are there four? You lied."
"It's too far away, I can't see clearly who it is." Song Baoguo shook his head in response.
"Far? Doesn't the back look unfamiliar? Haha." Tang Zhen leaned back on the chair carelessly and tried to cross his legs. He seemed to feel that the situation was inappropriate, so he slowly lowered his legs.
The people present were all veterans who had been in the military for most of their lives. As soon as Tang Zhen showed his relaxed posture, they guessed that among the four people competing in the first echelon, there must be someone from the artillery brigade.
Everyone was slightly surprised, not because of the recruit's performance, but because Tang Zhen was hiding too deeply.
I didn't say anything for most of the day, and it was only now that I couldn't hide it anymore that I showed it.
Even Luo Wentong, commander of the 71st Army, has set his sights on the competition field. The artillery brigade has not had any outstanding recruits for several years.
This year, this is a posture that will overwhelm the entire training center.
At their level, they have been working together for more than ten years, so who doesn't understand whom?
The only surprise may be what outstanding recruits were brought out.
........
"Well done, Chen Ming. Charge, charge forward. Hey, don't charge too hard. Maintain the status quo. Perseverance to the end is victory."
At the edge of the martial arts field, Zhao Lifei's dark face was completely revealed. His fingers were digging into the flesh of his palms, and his eyes were fixed on the figure running on the field.
The faces of the other monitors of the second brigade were also extremely happy. The better Chen Ming's performance and the higher his ranking, the brighter the faces of their entire brigade.
It's not that they haven't seen any powerful soldiers. The main reason is that the three recruits who came to the training center this year are all athletes, professional athletes.
A provincial track and field team reserve vice captain, two nationally certified second-level athletes.
When this news was first conveyed to the artillery brigade recruit company, all the squad leaders gave up hope in this evaluation.
There are specialties in the art industry, and soldiers may pay great attention to physical fitness and be very strong, but after all, they develop in many directions, and it is impossible to always work hard on physical fitness.
But such professional athletes focus on one thing all year round. Even the top special forces from the army may not be able to beat them in their field, let alone the new recruits.
However, Chen Ming brought them a surprise.
Even Jiang Peng, who had always seemed cold, was smiling and seemed very happy.
.....
"Awesome, really awesome. Those three tough guys chasing Brother Chen from behind, are they the athletes that the monitor said?"
Wang Shuaibing, who had already left the field in the distance, sat on the ground and looked at the familiar figure running fast on the field, and praised him.
"I didn't expect that even Lao Ma could persevere. Although he is a little behind the class deputy, he is still better than many people in the training center. Hehe, he is really relieved."
Wei Chongchong also commented.
Chen Ming's performance has undoubtedly become the focus of many people's attention. It's okay for people like Wang Shuaibing who know him well. After all, they know Chen Ming's abilities.
But the soldiers in the new training center didn't know Chen Ming at all. When they saw that he could compete with Ye Qingwen, Yang Shengli, and Li Kaizhao, they were so shocked that they almost couldn't close their mouths.
There are four to five thousand people in the entire competition field. Now that one lap is about to be completed, there are still less than four hundred people in the field.
Chen Ming had a faint momentum of taking first place. This situation lasted for several minutes, but the three people behind him could not pass him or seize the innermost runway.
"Who is that guy? He's so awesome? Even better than Ye Qingwen, our class deputy?"
"No, is it true? Is the first place in the extreme weight-bearing running going to be taken away by the artillery brigade?"
"There's no point in running fast. There's no point in running fast in this subject. You have to persevere until the end to be the one with the most points. Our class deputy Li can definitely do it."
The attitude is different from that of the artillery brigade.
Seeing someone running faster than their three benchmark teammates, many recruits in the training center were unconvinced and kept their eyes on the competition field.
They were originally looking forward to seeing who among the three squad vice-presidents could persevere to the end. There were even private bets among the recruits.
Of course, it's not gambling, but gambling on the private inventory - cigarettes.
As a result, such a big dark horse emerged halfway?
On the field.
Compared with the shock of others, Chen Ming did not dare to relax at all, and kept gritting his teeth and rushing forward.
He finally closed the distance of nearly a kilometer from the very back, surpassing the three people in front.
No matter what, they won't be allowed to overtake again.
Athletes, for many recruits, it is a dimensionality reduction attack, there is no comparison, and there is no way to compare with them.
In fact, Chen Ming knew very well that the athletes were not as powerful as he thought. If it were a flat, professional plastic track, he might not be able to beat them.
Unless you stick to potions.
But now it's a cross-country race, and on the uneven ground full of grass, rocks, and bumps, their strength can't be used much.
It can be said that ordinary recruits enter the camp for more than a month to carry out training to improve themselves, but these three people are adapting to the environment. It is not easy to change from the training terrain they have been familiar with for a long time.
From this aspect alone, they are worse than new recruits.
Chen Ming could guess the name of the recruit who was closest to Chen Ming and had always been chasing the first place. Without asking, Chen Ming could guess his name. It must be Ye Qingwen, the vice-captain of the track and field reserve team.
Because track and field running has cross-country subjects, even the reserve team is more or less good at it.
The remaining two are far behind. Maybe on a regular track, Chen Ming might not be able to sprint a hundred meters even if he drinks the potion like mineral water.
But in this unit's cross-country running with heavy loads, he took advantage.
Having served in a sports school for many years is not for nothing.
Chen Ming came from a wild background and was not very afraid of being interrupted, but he was afraid of the three people behind him, so he would block the back from time to time and chase the nearest person.
I gritted my teeth for the second place, but I was helpless. I always felt that every time I tried to catch up, the opponent would notice it in advance.
This is very helpless.
As time went by, they had run nearly a full circle along the outer track of the martial arts field.
The speed of the four people began to slow down, and the pace was maintained within five minutes, reaching the endurance stage.
Chen Ming still tightly controlled the inside track, disrupting the rhythm of the three people behind him from time to time.
Regarding this scene, the military leaders and recruits in the distance could only see an outline because they were too far away.
Only the female lieutenant officer with long legs and wheat-colored skin could see all this clearly.
Chen Ming's original guess was correct. She was indeed from the Cultural Propaganda Department of the army, but she was not from the 71st Army's official-level Propaganda Department, but from the Zhengda Military District-level Cultural Propaganda Department of the Eastern Theater Command.
This time I came here to shoot at the recruiting competition site to reserve some materials for next spring’s recruitment.
She wanted to shoot some scenes of recruits winning first place in competitions and being awarded military honors, as well as some exciting scenes of competitions.
Also responsible for interviewing outstanding recruits.
In addition to her status as a lieutenant officer, she was approved as a national third-level athlete before graduating from high school. Later, when she entered the military academy, she never worked hard in this area.
This year's autumn recruitment of the army, there were athletes coming to the recruit training center to join the army. Of course she knew that this special trip to film and interview was for these three people.
But she didn't expect that the person she wanted to interview was suppressed by a recruit whose name she had never heard of.
With her eyes, it was natural to see that Chen Ming was very cunning. Not only was he very capable, but he also intentionally or unintentionally disrupted the rhythm of the three people behind him who had tried to surpass him several times.
These actions instantly aroused her curiosity.
When deciding who to interview, I have to add one more person, Chen Ming.
