"Listen to the command, hold the log, and lie down!"
Following Xiao Jun's command, everyone lay down on the wet beach in groups of five, holding 200 kilograms of logs.
You can tell what this is going to do at a glance.
Log training has long been a traditional event in special forces.
However, doing it in a group of five people holding a log on a beach where the waves can hit is more than twice as uncomfortable as doing it on land.
A log weighs 200 kilograms. Five people each share 40 kilograms, which equals 80 kilograms.
It is not difficult for a well-trained special forces soldier to bear this 80 kilograms of weight.
The difficulty lies in the fact that after four hours of running on the beach, everyone's physical strength has been drained to the extreme.
Climbing a log at this time is about squeezing the oil from the stone and forcing out the last bit of human potential.
The rules are always the same - you can give up, and if you give up, leave.
Log training not only tests physical strength, but also tests the cooperation and coordination of a group of people - if one of the five is slow, the other four will have to put in more physical effort; if anyone is lazy, the others will have to bear more. consumption.
Xiao Jun took a loudspeaker, held the whistle in his mouth, blew it once, and did it once.
The waves kept hitting the beach, and Xiao Jun's whistle seemed to follow the rhythm of the waves. When I lay down, it was the time when the waves came over. If I didn't pay attention, the salty and cold sea water would flow through my nose. If If you dare to open your mouth to breathe, seawater will pour into your mouth.
Veterans all know this trick, when to hold their breath and when to breathe.
It's just that no matter how experienced the veteran is, he can't stand endless log sit-ups.
After all, there are still people who can't help but open their mouths to take a breath, and there will always be people who accidentally get drunk when their physical strength is exhausted.
Coughing sounds came and went.
Li Zheng looked at the time and saw that he had been working for a full hour.
Xiao Jun had no intention of stopping.
In fact, no matter whether it is the captain or the team members, everyone feels like a mirror at this time.
This is not like an exam. There is a time limit for writing the paper, and it is not based on the score of the paper. This is a grinding test.
Grind until someone quits.
Finally, someone couldn't do it anymore.
"051, get out!"
Xiao Jun began to call names.
When his name was called, 051 stood up and walked to Xiao Jun step by step.
Xiao Jun looked at the exhausted soldier in front of him, sighed and said, "Go back and rest."
"No!" 051 was shaken all over: "Captain, give me a chance, I promise to do it next time."
Xiao Jun's voice suddenly became softer: "You can't survive."
"I can!"
051's voice was slightly crying.
"You can't." Xiao Jun repeated again.
"I can definitely do it!" 051's voice was loud, as if he was not just talking to Xiao Jun, but maybe to his own team members, maybe to all the other team members, maybe...
Maybe there is no possibility.
051 seemed a little broken: "Captain Xiao, this is my second time here. In two years... I may not have a chance..."
Xiao Jun stared at the other person for a moment, waved his hand and turned to Li Zheng next to him and said, "Li Zheng, send him back to the base."
Li Zheng could only step forward and reach out to help 051.
But he was quickly thrown away.
051 shouted at Li Zheng: "I will leave by myself!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the beach, picked up his gun, put on his backpack, and slowly moved towards the base.
The reason why it is said is to move.
That's because Li Zheng saw that he didn't even have enough strength to walk.
He wanted to go up and give him a hand.
But he quickly gave up the idea.
That is the last stubbornness and honor of a soldier.
He accompanied 051 as he walked slowly towards the base.
In fact, being elected as an instructor for a training team or a training team is quite a challenge.
It is different from Li Zheng in the past.
Li Zheng has worked as an instructor in Africa and in the domestic army.
But most of his responsibility is technical guidance on sniping.
Although there were also eliminations, it was not that brutal.
When it comes to sniping, whether it works or not, it doesn't work. If you explain the reasons clearly and kick a team member away, the other party will accept it.
After all, sniping requires talent.
But here it feels quite different.
The instructors will see tears and some people who really try their best, even risk their lives, to join the elite special forces.
But places are limited after all.
It’s not that you are not excellent, it’s because others are too excellent.
That kind of frustration is very hurtful.
This was not the first time that 051 came to run for election, but in the end he failed to realize his dream.
He is already in his second period.
How many years are left?
Jiaolong does not recruit people every year.
No one knows whether the recruitment standards will change. Maybe others will not recruit in the third phase, or maybe they will recruit from colleges next year and there will be no direct recruitment within the army.
Anything is possible.
Just like Hou Jun.
But few people are as lucky as Hou Jun. After the third period, they suddenly met Li Zheng and met an international competition.
Many people may lose their military rank after three terms, pack their bags and leave the army with only regrets.
this is the truth.
After delivering 051, Li Zheng returned to the beach.
Log training continues.
More people are choking on water.
More people were named and listed.
The rest have to share more weight with fewer hands.
Everyone prays that their group is full of great people.
But it just depends on luck.
Finally it was five o'clock in the morning.
The sky began to lighten up.
A red morning glow appeared on the distant horizon.
The sun is already ready on the other side of the sea, ready to rise into the sky at any time to begin its day's journey.
There are not many groups left on the beach.
Xiao Jun finally shouted "stop".
Another collection.
When the team gathered together, a spectacle occurred.
Everyone was steaming but shivering with cold.
The sea water at night is cold. After soaking in it for a long time, the body temperature gradually decreases as the physical strength is exhausted, and part of it is taken away by the sea water.
The feeling of doing log training in sea water can be described as the world of ice and fire.
"Count!"
Xiao Jun once again issued the order to report the numbers.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"4!"
…
The counting sound is still loud.
After counting, Li Zheng found that there were only 165 people left.
When we came yesterday, there were 220 people.
One night passed, and 55 people were gone.
Cruel?
Of course it's cruel.
This elimination rate is absolutely cruel.
Now Li Zheng understands why the training period is only 15 days.
He suddenly understood why the tents on the beach were only half full.
Perhaps, from the beginning, Xiao Jun never thought that more than two hundred people would be able to camp here tonight.
"Yes, you are stronger than I thought."
Standing in front of the team, Xiao Jun's voice was slightly cold.
"But I still feel that there are too many people. When there are too many people, I feel uncomfortable because I have not completed the set training plan and have not achieved the results I want. Therefore, this kind of training will not stop. , until I achieve the effect I want. Is it cruel?”
At this point, he stopped and his eyes roamed over the faces of all the team members.
He seemed to be waiting for an answer.
In fact, no one will answer.
It’s not that the team members didn’t have the guts to answer.
It takes too much energy to answer even one sentence now.
Everyone wants to save even a little bit of effort.
Because no one knows what will happen next.
"If any of you feel cruel, if you don't want your teammates or comrades in the same company to continue to suffer, you can take the initiative to apply for withdrawal. I can make it clear here. Before twelve o'clock tonight, I will only have 100 people who can stand right here."
100 people……
Li Zheng took a breath of air.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
