"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hold on, you can rest in five kilometers, persistence is victory."
"Come on, let's talk about you, soldier, what do you look like? You've traveled more than 100 kilometers in three days, and you're not even qualified to go to the battlefield. You can't hold on? What will you use to fight in the future?"
Loud roars one after another, accompanied by the roar of cars, continued to come from the team.
Some scolded and some coaxed, but it was not very effective for the new recruits on the move.
The training team has long lost the energy it had when they first started. Many recruits, due to serious physical exhaustion, would only take two steps before their legs would go weak. They would collapse on the ground uncontrollably, grit their teeth, get up, and then walk a few more steps. step, then kneel down.
After all, he is a new recruit, and the exposure training time is short. There are few people who are as physically strong as Chen Ming. He is as strong as a walking tractor, and can carry several guns per person to reduce the burden on his comrades.
Everyone in the other classes was in a similar situation. Words of encouragement had lost their effect. All they relied on was faith to endure the exhaustion.
The front row of the training team.
"Brother Chen... how far is it... I... really can't resist it. I feel like all I have to say now is myself, and I can't feel anything in my body..."
Wang Shuaibing spoke intermittently.
On a cold day, I kept rushing, almost reaching the limit of my physical fitness.
The clothes on my body were wet, then dry, and then dry again, feeling cool against my skin, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
Chen Ming looked at the situation behind the team and frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that the first day of training would be so miserable. "Come on, Lao Wang, give me your backpack. Everyone, please hold on. It's getting dark and our team is long. The squad leader won't let us advance in the dark."
"On the first day of training, it's easy for someone to fall behind once it gets dark. Believe me, today's trip will be over soon."
"That's really good." Wang Shuaibing nodded mechanically, and when he saw Chen Ming reaching out to help him get his backpack, he quickly took a step back.
"Farewell, farewell, Brother Chen. The backpack has become one with me. If you take it off now, I will suddenly lose ten pounds. I'm afraid I will be unable to bear it and lie on the ground unable to get up. Let's go."
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, then continued to raise the flag and move forward.
The squad leader said that if the people and the flag are there, the team will not be in chaos. Although the team has become loose and unorganized now, the motivation of everyone to move forward is still measured by the flag.
Zhao Lifei had a panoramic view of the current situation of the entire team. Under this current situation, the first day of training could be over.
He looked down at the time and saw that he was still about four kilometers away from the second meeting point.
Zhao Lifei immediately found Jiang Peng.
"Jiang Platoon, why don't you end it early and rest where you are? It's getting darker and darker. If someone behind you can't keep up with the team, it will be in trouble."
"Rest in place?" Jiang Peng frowned. The outdoor training was arranged in this way in previous years, but it was not as difficult as this year.
It's not that this year's recruits are not good, but because of the military's combat readiness, they can't mobilize so many troop carriers, so they can only let the recruits run to the assembly point.
In this way, the total distance on the first day was increased by more than ten kilometers.
"Please work hard. From the front of the team to the back of the team, the notification distance is still four kilometers. Remember, just notify the squad leader and let the new comrades hear it. Don't inform the recruits directly. They won't believe you if you tell them directly."
"In addition, tell the squad leaders at the back to pay more attention to the soldiers in their own squad, so as not to fall behind. When they arrive at the rest point, they should be called first and then dismissed."
"Yes, Jiang Pai."
Jiang Peng's method did have some effect. Although four kilometers was not short, it at least gave everyone hope.
After Zhao Lifei reminded the squad leaders of each squad one by one, it was obvious that the marching speed of the entire team had accelerated a lot.
But, even so, the remaining distance still took nearly forty minutes to complete.
The destination we arrived at, that is, the place where we rested at night, was no longer an abandoned factory building, but a large depression. The surrounding terrain was high, six or seven meters higher. It was an excellent shelter from the wind. There was no howling cold wind, so we could sleep well. More stable and comfortable.
Only Chen Ming and the others are new recruits and receive this treatment.
If it were a veteran training, there wouldn't be so much emphasis on it. The life of a soldier is not fixed in any place. You can eat, sleep, and fight.
"Be good? Shall we just sleep here?"
When Chen Ming carried the flag and led the team into this depression, the group of people looked at the surrounding environment in disbelief.
Wei Chongchong's eyes widened even more, he looked around, and said speechlessly: "I'll go, there's really no one with this condition. The worst place I've ever stayed in was a hotel that costs fifteen yuan a night. This is the first time I've slept in a wasteland. "
"Stop being picky. Even if you let me live in a graveyard now, I can fall asleep quickly. Brother Chen, where are we going?"
Wang Shuaibing asked actively.
Since it was dark, Jiang Pai and Zhao Lifei went to the rear to look after the team, but they had no one to arrange it.
Chen Ming stood at the entrance and thought for a moment.
Now Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4 of the Second Brigade are all following him. The squad leader either went to the rear of the team, or just followed the car and did not follow the team.
So after he finds the right position, he basically won't change it, and the monitor is too lazy to bother.
The most common wind in Pengzhou in winter is northwest wind. Chen Ming identified the direction and pointed to the southeast corner: "Let's go. That location should be leeward, so it won't be too cold to sleep at night."
"Follow me."
The follow-up was similar to what he guessed. After the first class was settled here, Zhao Lifei just came over to take a look, took names, gave each person a box of self-heating food, and some military rations, and left.
If the new recruits are not allowed to line up, then this task can only be left to the veterans.
Chen Ming put the self-heating box into his backpack and ate only a little bit of rice, meat, and canned fruit.
After training all day, I have no appetite at all.
After eating, he opened his backpack, spread the quilt on the ground, hugged the gun, covered himself with the quilt, and lay down in the corner to get ready to sleep.
The squad leader was not here at this time, so no one would care about their chatting and bragging, but they just didn't have the energy anymore.
One by one, they imitated Chen Ming and slept in their clothes.
Chen Ming slept fairly well and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
I don't know how long it took, but a sudden cold wind blew, and Chen Ming woke up suddenly. He sat up and looked around.
The new recruits from each class were lying on the ground. Looking at them through the moonlight, they looked like corpses on the ground, which was quite scary.
Chen Ming frowned. He couldn't fall asleep so quickly after being woken up. He simply sat up and leaned against the wall behind him, holding his gun and looking around.
I don't know if he was lucky or not. As soon as he sat up, he saw several figures in the distance coming out of the material transport truck.
Originally, this was just a very ordinary little thing.
It's not even a problem for other recruits to see, but Chen Ming is different.
When he vaguely saw those people, Chen Ming felt that the other person's back looked familiar. They were the veterans changing clothes he saw at the meeting point in the morning.
"These veterans are full of evil." Chen Ming stared at it for a while, then quietly got up and walked around the corner to find the place where the third shift deputy, Sun Penghui, slept.
He pushed the other party gently, but there was no movement. Chen Ming pushed hard twice, but still there was no movement.
"Damn, are you sleeping like this?" Chen Ming muttered, lifted the quilt and grabbed the gun in Sun Penghui's hand.
"Who?" Sun Penghui woke up immediately and looked at the person with angry eyes. After his pupils focused and he could see who it was, Sun Penghui sat up and asked doubtfully: "You are up so late at night, why are you here?"
"Want to steal my gun?"
"You protect the gun so well, I can't steal it." Chen Ming smiled, pulled Sun Penghui up and pointed towards the distance.
"I didn't want to steal, but someone wanted to steal. Did you see those figures? Those sneaky ones?"
"I don't know which brigade they are from. They are obviously veterans but they insist on wearing recruits' clothes. There must be something wrong."
"Take care of them together?"
"How to clean it up?" Sun Penghui asked doubtfully.
No one who can be a shift assistant is a fool.
He also felt that something was particularly wrong tonight.
Usually, the squad leader gives endless instructions and wishes to repeat the same thing eight hundred times.
But tonight, the monitors of each class called their names and handed out some food, and the people disappeared.
They had never been so relaxed in the military camp, but they were relaxed in the wild?
"What else can I do to deal with it? I'll give him a beating if I catch him." Chen Ming smiled and continued: "Anyway, he is not a soldier of our brigade. There is no such thing as bowing his head and not looking up."
"If they don't steal from us, forget it. If they do, then we'll give them a good beating. Do you dare?"
"Then there's nothing to be afraid of." Sun Penghui responded, holding his neck.
"Okay, you go and notify Class 4, and I'll notify Class 2 to wake them up first. Be quiet and don't scare anyone."
"Don't worry."
If Sun Penghui was hesitant at first, now he is only excited.
They are all young people of eighteen or nineteen years old. If you want to ask them to do some good deeds, you must be cautious and think about it.
When it comes to doing something harmless and bad, my motivation is higher than eating.
Chen Ming smiled and was not surprised by his reaction. After explaining, he went to the second class position and planned to continue calling people.
In fact, he could just remind the first class to pay attention, but things like new recruits hitting veterans, whether it is intentional or unintentional, no matter what the purpose is, it is easy to talk about but not easy to hear.
If only one group takes action, tomorrow the platoon leader will still give them more training, covertly or covertly, for the sake of face.
But if three or five squads take action together, it will be different. If the second brigade can be so vigilant as a whole, the platoon leader will not be angry, but happy and proud.
Therefore, good deeds can be done quietly, but this kind of thing must be planned by a group of people.
Chen Ming was not sure if people would come and steal the gun, but it didn't matter. If he didn't steal it, he would be fine. If he did, just wait to be beaten.
Be prepared.
In the Second Brigade, from Class 1 to Class 4, basically all the recruits have woken up.
One by one, they lay on the spot, staring nervously at the figures that kept wandering in the distance.
It was strange to say that a few people had been wandering in the distance for more than ten minutes, but no one was seen attacking anyone. Instead, they walked directly towards the direction of their second brigade.
"What should we do, Brother Chen?" Wang Shuaibing noticed that those people were obviously coming towards them, and he became a little nervous.
"Don't say anything. Let's see what they want to do. Remember what I just said. If they come to steal the gun, hold it tightly with your hands. Don't give it to them. If they keep pulling hard and are unwilling to let go, then the brother next to you will Please be careful and beat him directly, no need to be polite."
"Okay, hey, if we arrange it this way, I won't be sleepy." A group of recruits responded excitedly, lying on the ground and staring at the figure in the distance.
Since the place where Chen Ming laid his bed was in the corner, it was relatively dark. If you didn't get closer, you wouldn't be able to see anything.
But he could see several veterans coming from a distance. When he got closer, he realized that the other party had succeeded. There were already two veterans with guns on their backs.
Apparently two unlucky guys have fallen for it.
Chen Ming shook his head. These guys really took great pains to test the vigilance of the new recruits. Judging from the situation, they were not directed at them, but planned to visit every brigade.
It should be the second team's turn now.
Several veterans walked very lightly to the place where the second class was laying out their bedding, and stood there muttering a few words.
One of them quietly circled around, finally came to the middle of the second class, lifted the quilt and pulled the gun.
I don’t know whether the recruit he pulled was too grumpy or the second shift deputy didn’t explain what he was saying at the time. From Chen Ming’s perspective, the veteran had just touched the gun, and the originally “sleeping” recruit sat up with a “swish”. .
He grabbed the butt of the gun and threw it at the opponent. It was obvious that the veteran was also frightened.
When they were about to leave, it was already too late. Nearly forty people from Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4 jumped up, grabbed quilts and covered the heads of several veterans.
The corner of Chen Ming's mouth twitched when he saw it. Yes, having a stolen gun is really annoying. If it was really stolen, there's no telling how it would be dealt with tomorrow morning.
But no matter how angry you are, you have to pretend to be decent. Just like this, it seems to be premeditated. How can it be such a coincidence?
Everyone wakes up at the same time?
