Chapter 1174 I am a good soldier

Wu Liuyi's pain did not last long. After waiting for a few minutes, when new recruits came running over one after another, he was already sweating profusely. He lay there with a comfortable look on his face, looking at the brightening sky.

“Hu…ho~te!”

Gao Cheng ran over, gasping for breath and coughing up phlegm, completing the whole set of movements in one go. Then he looked at Wu Liuyi lying on the ground, Wang Yan sitting cross-legged beside him, and the old soldier who was keeping time.

"How's it going? How much did you run?"

"Wang Yan scored 19:32, Wu Liuyi scored 19:43, both scored over . They are not human beings, pure beasts."

"Wow..." Gao Cheng's eyes widened, "And he's carrying a weight of more than 30 kilograms. This result is unmatched in the entire army. Good, good!"

"This kid is teasing me, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, just teasing me." Wu Liuyi patted Wang Yan beside him and said, "If he runs at a constant speed, he will definitely be faster. It's like he has nothing over 30 kilograms. If he hadn't led me to run, I would never break 20 kilograms."

Wu Liuyi was telling the truth. The standard for the test was 26 minutes, with a load of 15 kilograms. The officers at the grassroots level set high standards for their soldiers, and basically they only needed one or two minutes to pass.

Not to mention weighted cross-country running, even for an ordinary five-kilometer race, it is good enough for an amateur to run under 20 kilograms. What's more, it is cross-country running, and you have to carry weights, and the weight is 30 kilograms at that.

Although the soldiers train all day, exercise their bodies, and hone their combat skills, they are still human beings. With this weight, nineteen minutes is enough.

Of course it has no effect on Wang Yan. Even if he carries a weight of 100 kilograms and runs five kilometers, he can still break the world record. He is a real beast.

Wang Yan slapped Wu Liuyi's leg hard and said, "You will definitely be useless tomorrow."

"Even if I have to stay in bed for three days, I'll be satisfied if I can get 20 points."

Gao Cheng took out a cigarette and passed it to the two of them: "It's settled, you'll be the one taking part in the competition, bring back all those honors for me."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Gao Cheng laughed, then ignored the two of them and strolled off to talk to other recruits.

At this time, Shi Jin came over and asked about their results. After knowing the results, he could only give them a thumbs up and exclaimed that they were awesome.

"But I still say that you should do what you can."

"It's useless to say it." Wang Yan laughed, "He doesn't know what it means to do things within one's ability. He just does it with all his might."

"Human potential is infinite. If you don't push yourself, no one knows how far you can go. So, just do it."

"Yes, yes, let's do it vigorously." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Xu Sanduo who was grinning foolishly behind Shi Jin, "How much are you running, Sanduo?"

"Twenty-five and a half minutes." Xu Sanduo grinned.

"Look, I told you you can do it, good job."

"In fact, I almost got a stitch in the side during the run, but I thought I couldn't lose face, so I gritted my teeth and ran over."

"Oh, that's even better. Isn't it, old squad leader?" Wang Yan patted Wu Liuyi beside him.

The latter glanced at the smirking Xu Sanduo, seeing the expectation in his eyes, he looked up at the sky again: "We just ran into the 20-minute mark, we are still far behind."

This is also a tsundere.

Apparently, Xu Sanduo also felt Wu Liuyi's pulse and said with a smile: "I will definitely be able to improve next time."

"Oh, yes, that's a good point. You will definitely improve next time." Shi Jin patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder. "Sanduo, you must have this spirit to be a good soldier."

"Wang Yan told me that as long as I keep doing it, keep training hard, and study seriously, I will be a good soldier."

"Yes, you are a good soldier!" Shi Jin laughed, feeling very pleased.

Xu Sanduo grinned foolishly again.

Even though Wang Yan had told him not to laugh all the time, he couldn't help it. But when he was training, he was able to stay serious...

The cool breeze in May brought cool greetings to these sweaty soldiers. A few small trees swayed left and right, greeting the soldiers. Even the early birds chirped in the sky to comfort the soldiers, saying good morning.

The soldiers carried heavy backpacks and moved their legs listlessly as they walked another ten kilometers back to the barracks, and on the return journey they had a forced march of ten kilometers.

As the name suggests, the forced march is a hurried march, so the speed is naturally not slow, at a speed of eight or nine kilometers per hour, marching all the way, without stopping for a moment, taking big strides and walking. The intensity is not much easier than the previous armed cross-country march, and it may even be more torturous, after all, it takes a long time.

Gao Cheng was also walking fast. Although he was already panting, he still did not forget to joke with the soldiers. He also announced in advance that there would be a field training of more than 100 kilometers before joining the company. He walked all the way like this, listening to the complaints...

I left at four o'clock and when I got back, it was already past seven o'clock.

Since they didn't have to do morning exercises, the soldiers thought they could sleep for a while after returning, but now it was clear that they didn't have enough time. They had to clean up, tidy up their rooms, wash up, and then go to have breakfast. After another ten or twenty minutes of digestion, the morning training began again.

It’s still formations, tactics, and physical fitness; these are the things that the troops practice over and over again.

At night, Xu Sanduo was still practicing extra. He was intoxicated by the recognition of others and couldn't extricate himself.

He was not a fool. He knew how people viewed him when he came here and how they viewed him now. During this process, he had felt a comfort he had never felt before...

Of course Wang Yan still accompanied him. Not only did he accompany him, he also pulled out the recruit with the lowest grades in the class to practice with Xu Sanduo.

"Squad leader, we are so tired today. We have to carry heavy loads for 20 kilometers early in the morning. We have to run for our lives and walk for our lives. Please let me go."

"No, this is for the collective, not a matter of whether you are willing or not. You have to do it whether you can or not. Look at Xu Sanduo, he has better grades and works harder than you. Besides, are you the only one who is tired? Why didn't Xu Sanduo and I go together? I am carrying more than 30 kilograms."

"How can I compare with you? You are a big animal, and I am still a human being, my good deputy~"

"Get lost, if you keep on bothering me I'll practice grappling with you."

Wang Yan's face furrowed. The new recruit then sighed as if accepting his fate and started practicing tactical moves with Xu Sanduo.

The basic drills were almost complete in the first month, and the marching steps were all very clacking. After that, we continued to practice the formations, which kept us familiar with them, so we didn't have to worry about anything.

As for physical training, the human body's ability to endure is limited after all. Late at night, all you can do are push-ups, frog jumps, single and double bars and the like. The main thing that can be improved are various tactical movements of crawling and rolling.

Compared to the new recruit's hesitation and reluctance, Xu Sanduo was very conscientious and practiced without hesitation...

Compared to the same period in the original plot, Xu Sanduo is much more powerful. Even when Xu Sanduo was transferred to the Seventh Company after repairing the road on the grassland, he was not as strong as he is now.

And he did not anger Gao Cheng again, nor did he say he would write a letter to his father behind Gao Cheng's back as in the original play. Wang Yan had already told the new recruits in the class about various disciplines and rules.

Many of Xu Sanduo’s mistakes were due to his lack of understanding.

It seems that when Xu Sanduo was transferred to the Seventh Company and participated in the anti-infrared operation, he took two hot eggs and put them in his arms for Shi Jin to eat. Xu Sanduo's appearance at that time was really hateful.

But in fact, Xu Sanduo had just been transferred there at that time, and he didn’t understand many things. No one taught him, so he always made mistakes…

In this way, the days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. The training of the recruit company was finally completed and it was in the latter stage.

On this morning, after morning exercises and breakfast, the new recruits returned to the barracks with brisk steps, their faces beaming with joy. "Hey, I've only worn this uniform once since it was issued, let's try it out to see if it fits. Isn't this what soldiers wear? It looks cool." One soldier stamped his feet, his leather shoes shiny.

This statement was recognized by many recruits.

Because most of the soldiers that people see walking outside and appearing on TV are wearing regular uniforms, including during military parades, where soldiers also wear regular uniforms.

Standard bearers, honor guards, military bands, they even wore formal attire.

Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and big leather shoes, he marches in step, looking very handsome and perfectly highlighting his military temperament.

Wang Yan naturally changed into his regular clothes as well and was fastening his belt.

These were distributed just a few days ago. They are Type 87 uniforms, two sets for summer and winter, and two sets of camouflage training uniforms. They had already changed into the new training uniforms for daily training and no longer wore the ones previously issued by the armed forces department.

"Wang Yan, you look so handsome in casual clothes!" Xu Sanduo said truthfully.

"The main reason is that our class deputy is so tall, with broad shoulders and big chest muscles, which support the clothes. Unlike us, we feel a little short in the clothes."

"Praise me if you want, why are you belittling yourself?" Wang Yan shook his head. "We are all handsome. You have all seen the military parade, right? If we stand in a row and goose-step, that will also be snapping."

One recruit said, "Deputy squad leader, you lied to us. There are height requirements for the soldiers participating in the parade, and they all look different."

"You're the only one who talks too much bullshit. If I say it looks good, it looks good. Why do you feel inferior about wearing clothes?"

“Isn’t this a comparison with you?”

"There's nothing we can do about it. Just keep doing it." Wang Yan smiled, looking a bit complacent.

After some chatting and laughing, when the time came, Gao Cheng, He Hongtao and a group of veterans all came over in their regular uniforms and asked everyone to gather.

After a command, the recruits stood at ease outside the barracks.

"Tell me about it!"

With a swish, all the recruits stood at attention.

Gao Cheng put his hands behind his back, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "For today's inauguration ceremony, you must get your appearance ready and show our spirit. There are thousands of new recruits in your batch together, and we must overwhelm them in terms of momentum. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Louder!"

"understand!"

In this way, the recruits tidied themselves up again, confirmed that there were no problems, and followed the commands and marched to the playground in unison.

At this moment, teams of soldiers were already entering the playground shouting slogans. Obviously, they all had the same idea as Gao Cheng, to show their spirit, overwhelm other recruit companies, and win in momentum.

For a moment, the playground was filled with shouting.

After a long while, more than a thousand new recruits from the new recruit regiment, as well as veterans and officers at all levels who were temporarily transferred over, all stood in line.

The 04 T Armored Division Spring Recruits Commencement Ceremony officially began.

The first item is to welcome the military flag.

The second item is to raise the national flag and sing the national anthem.

"Rise up, you who do not want to be slaves..."

Thousands of people sang the national anthem loudly, and the sound shook the whole area. The unyielding will shook the heaven and earth, and the eyes of the blood-soaked heroes were also fixed here...

After singing the national anthem, the political commissar of the recruit regiment gave a speech with a manuscript, mainly talking about the honorable mission and responsibility of soldiers, and giving good wishes to the new recruits who had just joined the military family.

After the leader finished his speech, he announced the start of the awarding of titles.

This is the climax of the awarding ceremony. The new recruits are excited and the veterans have complicated feelings.

Suddenly, they seemed to see their excited selves that year. Suddenly, they seemed to see their close comrades who were stripped of their titles and left with their bags on their backs...

"How do you feel?" Wu Liuyi asked with a smile.

"Feeling good!" Wang Yan replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Work hard in the future. You are the best soldier."

“I knew I was the best soldier before I joined the army.”

Wu Liuyi put epaulettes on Wang Yan's shoulders, patted him on the shoulder, and went to work on the next person, and so on until he came to Xu Sanduo. Because Xu Sanduo was the shortest, he stood at the end of the class.

"Squad leader." Xu Sanduo grinned.

“It feels good.”

"Chengcai said that only those with a rank can be considered as real soldiers. I am happy."

Hearing his name, Chengcai, who was standing not far away, turned around and took a look. He met Wu Liuyi's gaze. After smiling back, he turned back and stood solemnly.

He still maintained some relationship with Xu Sanduo, and apologized to Xu Sanduo privately, saying that he was ignorant before. Xu Sanduo didn't bear grudges, and thought it was a "joke", so naturally the two of them could still talk.

Another important reason is that they are from the same village after all, and grew up together. If there were more people, they would be in the same boat, not to mention a harmonious exchange. After all, if there were a few more fellow villagers, Chengcai would have more people, and it is likely that he would still have to make fun of Xu Sanduo.

However, the army does not allow this kind of problem to exist. It controls the situation when recruiting soldiers. Those recruited this year will not come in the next few years. Moreover, the same group of recruits will be dispersed to different companies.

It is to prevent the local party from becoming too powerful and affecting the officers' leadership. If a company of dozens of people are from the same place and have the right to speak, it is hard to say who the team will listen to...

Wu Liuyi patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder and said, "Our platoon leader is right. You can be a good soldier."

"Wang Yan said that I am a good soldier."

"You just say this and that. What do you say about yourself?"

Xu Sanduo lowered his head out of habit and was silent for a moment. He looked up and met Wu Liuyi's eyes: "I am a good soldier!"

Wu Liuyi was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing and patted Xu Sanduo's arm with both hands.

"You are a good soldier! You have maintained this energy."

Seeing Xu Sanduo laughing foolishly again, Wu Liuyi ignored him, turned around and left, returning to his seat and standing still...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
