Li was awakened by the sound of the trumpet.
After eating, he set up a simple tent and fell asleep. He slept for more than three hours.
Sleeps like a pig.
No more showering.
No time to find a place to take a shower.
It's time to take a shower, why not take a good nap.
I heard that there is training at 10 o'clock. No one knows what training it is. It is definitely worth seizing the time to recover your strength.
Grab your backpack, put on your equipment, and run to the open space to gather.
The whole company was there, and the campsites of other companies not far away were also flickering with faint lights.
In the dim environment, my heart once again rose to my throat.
"Count the number of people in each class to see if everyone is here!"
Company Commander Ji Zhizhao called on several platoon leaders to implement his orders.
"Li Zheng, do you know where we are going?" Fatty Wei felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask for information.
However, he was seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
Ask Li Zheng?
Li Zheng himself didn't even know where he was going. He also wanted to know where he was going. How should he answer?
So he could only shake his head and say he didn't know.
Fatty Wei said: "You are familiar with the squad leader. Ask the squad leader if he knows."
Li Zheng and Hou Jun used to go to the division's small shooting range to practice shooting together, and their personal relationship was quite special. What Fatty Wei said was quite reasonable.
After thinking about it, Li Zheng took advantage of Hou Jun to come over to count the number of people and asked boldly.
"Squad leader, where should we gather tonight?"
He was a little worried, wouldn't everyone set off now and continue the forced march?
But this possibility is low.
After all, the daily distance is only 60 kilometers. Walking during the day and at night plus 20 kilometers of it are running, which is enough to cope with the need to set off overnight.
Hou Jun said three words: "I don't know."
Then continue to nod.
Li Zheng was very disappointed.
He looked around. Everyone in each row and class was counting people.
In fact, there are already some people missing from the team.
Even two soldiers from the first platoon chose to withdraw from the Devil's Week training on the first day.
That means these people will be reassigned to other support battalions or logistics support departments.
Anyway, it is impossible to stay in the special reconnaissance camp.
All that can be left behind are soldiers with endurance, perseverance and super ability. If Tong Zhi had not failed, especially the first company, which was the most critical to become a commando unit, the elimination rate would be absolutely high.
After counting the number of people, Ji Zhizhao came to the command position in front of the team.
Because it was in the wild and during Devil's Week, all queue etiquette was simple, and there was no need for any on-duty personnel to report to the whole team. After some regular commands and actions such as taking a break and standing at attention, Company Commander Ji got straight to the point.
"Tonight from 10:30 to 3 in the morning, we are going to conduct a test. This test is very useful in measuring your physical strength and endurance. It is also one of the important indicators to determine whether you can become a commando. , everyone, be mentally prepared. In the next four hours, you will conduct cold-resistant training in the water."
He lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist, and then said: "The temperature in the mountains is relatively low and the wind is strong. It will be very uncomfortable during training later. Some people may even faint. This test has certain dangers. If you are afraid , you can now apply to withdraw from participating.”
His eyes scanned everyone.
Asked again: “Has anyone chosen to opt out?”
There was silence in the queue, no one answered, no one applied.
In fact, it is redundant to ask.
Young people have self-esteem, and soldiers have no shortage of it.
It is normal to withdraw due to injury during training, but you have already taken the initiative to file a report and applied for withdrawal before training started. Even if you are transferred to another company in the future, others will ask you how you got here? I really don’t have the nerve to answer.
"Okay! Since no one has applied to withdraw, let's go!"
Ji Zhizhao waved his hand cleanly and said to Tong Zhi: "First platoon leader, lead the team!"
Tong Zhi came up to replace Ji Zhizhao and issued an order to the team: "Turn right and walk together!"
Soon, the team was back on the concrete roadside.
There were several trucks parked there.
"One car per platoon, follow the order of platoons 1, 2 and 3 to the company headquarters and board the car!"
The soldiers lined up and climbed onto the truck silently in the darkness.
After the convoy was filled with people, it sped along the mountain road at a very fast speed.
The cold wind whistled deep in the mountains, the stars were sparse in the sky and the moon was bright, and the distant mountains were vaguely outlined in the darkness.
As the car drove deeper into the mountains, Li was sitting on the tailgate of the truck. The plants and tall trees on the roadside were brightly illuminated by the car lights. A kind of fear grew in his heart for no reason. Somewhat weak.
Cold training?
How does it work?
Li Zheng had been an infantryman for half a year, and he had never heard of these new terms and subjects.
Special Forces...
There are always new things to come up with that will make your calves tremble.
The training point is actually not too far from the camping site. Perhaps in order to save time and squeeze out more time for training, we adopted a truck maneuver to get to the training point as quickly as possible.
Everyone was driven out of the truck by Tong Zhi like piglets, and the cars drove away without stopping.
There were no car lights, only moonlight, and the surroundings fell into a hazy darkness.
"Along the water channel on the roadside, follow the order of classes one, two, and three, form a horizontal line, spaced 30 centimeters apart, and spread out!"
There is an advantage to commanding troops.
No matter how many people there are, as long as they undergo strict formation training, the commander can always achieve the best efficiency and get the formation he wants in the shortest time.
A long, snake-like formation lined up along the long concrete roadside.
The road was very long. Li Zheng looked to the left, which led to the depths of the mountains.
Looking to the right, it seemed to be the direction of the village and his campsite.
Looking back, I saw a channel about two meters deep and two meters wide, with a hard bottom and water in it.
Perhaps an irrigation canal, part of a water conservancy project to revitalize the countryside.
Li Zheng didn't know how useful irrigation could be, but it was really useful for the training of special forces.
This place is hard to find. Someone from the instructors must have been here before and knew there was such a place, so he brought people here.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Li Zheng couldn't help but sneeze.
The mountain breeze at night is so cold...
"Listen to the command -"
Tong Zhi's voice was so loud that even though the entire company was lined up hundreds of meters long, every soldier could hear his command clearly from the beginning to the end of the line.
"turn back!"
Swish——
More than a hundred soldiers turned back and faced the canal.
"The water is not deep, don't be afraid, but it's just a little cold..."
Tong Zhi walked along the line and passed behind everyone.
"Listen to the command, take a step forward - jump!"
One step forward?
Jump?
It's going to go into the water.
At that moment, in fact, each soldier had different thoughts that flashed through his mind.
How deep is the water?
Is it cold?
What to do with the clothes and quilts in the backpack?
Jump with a gun on your back?
However, after a brief hesitation of less than a second, the vast majority of people gritted their teeth and jumped.
Some people are slow, the thoughts in their minds have not been sorted out, and they are still a little confused.
But there is no need to worry, the instructor will help you relieve your worries.
Tong Zhi walked all the way over and kicked anyone who didn't jump on the butt.
"Get down!"
