Chapter 1182 Returning from the lost path

The purpose of the competition is to promote the training of the whole army, improve the quality of training, promote the spirit of confrontation, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. Through the competition, we can exchange experiences, discover typical cases, set up role models, and play a role in demonstrating and promoting the training of the troops.

In the early days, due to various reasons, when my country was still a nation of soldiers, local militias also had various competitions and confrontations. The major military regions would also organize competitions and contests among officers and soldiers.

So it is called "big" because of its scale and level.

Across the country, the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force organize tens of thousands of large-scale competitions every year. They are organized at all levels, including regiment, division, group army, and major military regions.

As for the grass-roots battalion and company levels, it is an internal confrontation. There will be some honors in the battalion, such as giving commendations, being rated as advanced, etc., and the most that can be decided is "commendation".

The military also has the authority to assess meritorious service. Generally speaking, battalions and companies can be commended, regiments and brigades can be awarded third-class merit, second-class merit must be reported to the group army, and first-class merit must be reported to the Military Commission for approval.

Of course, there may be some slight differences in actual implementation. Including non-commissioned officers, senior non-commissioned officers, officers, civilians, etc., are not certain. But in general, it is pretty much the same...

"The big competition will start next week. We'll start with the competition in our regiment, then the division, and finally the competition in our military region. As for our company, although I've signed up five people, you two are the only ones who can be counted on. The others have no chance. You two, regardless of anything else, must be wiped out in our regiment. That's the bottom line. I won't make any demands on the rest."

Gao Cheng held a cigarette in his hand and pointed at Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi in front of him.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission."

The two of them saluted and answered.

"Pay attention to your training these few days. Don't get hurt and affect the competition. This is no joke. It concerns your future. You have to distinguish the important from the unimportant. I don't trust Wang Yan. You should be careful, Wu Liuyi. Don't try to be brave even when it comes to the big competition. If you really can't do it, forget it."

"I know, Captain."

"Bullshit, I don't know you yet, just pay attention to me."

Wang Yan nodded on the side: "The company commander is right. When you are a soldier, you must strive to be the best, but there is always a mountain higher than the other. You have to think about your way out. You have been in the army for such a long time. If you retire, what do you think we will do? We can't beat the entire group army or the entire military region, but we can still have no problem in our regiment. It won't be a problem for you to pass the third and fifth terms. It would be great to work in the army until retirement.

Hey, stop staring. What does the company commander mean to me? I'm telling you that you should fight when you should, and don't fight when you shouldn't. There's nothing wrong with fighting for honor, but you have to admit defeat and be able to afford it. Is that what you mean, company commander?"

"That's a very accurate summary." Gao Cheng nodded in satisfaction, gave the two people cigarettes, and said to Wu Liuyi, "You should learn more from this kid. He has a higher level of ideological awareness and a more active brain than you."

"Hey, Captain, that's not the case. I can only say that Deputy Squad Leader Wu has his own pursuits."

"You don't offend anyone." Gao Cheng shook his head with amusement, "Is that what he's pursuing? He's just obsessed, he doesn't think about anything and doesn't care about anything."

After some chatting and laughing, Gao Cheng had finished his instructions and let the two of them leave.

The two of them found a place to sit and smoke, because Wang Yanshun stole a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from Gao Cheng...

"What do you think? Are you sure?" Wu Liuyi smoked happily.

"That depends on how far we go." Wang Yan said, "Third-class merit is definitely a problem, it depends on whether we can get second-class merit."

"You have high hopes, really. I have participated in several big competitions. Although they are much stronger than me, I can still see that. Unlike you, I have no idea where your limit is. I will just aim for a third-class merit. I have improved a lot in the past few months with you. I think this is the best hope. It will be easier for me to transfer to the third period."

"It's a third-class merit at the regimental level, so it's not a big problem. You're not bad at shooting, and as for armed cross-country, you can run behind me and I'll lead you. We'll get first place in the regiment and the division, and you'll easily get a third-class merit."

"Just let me?" Wu Liu was stunned.

"What's the big deal?" Wang Yan smiled and didn't care.

He exhaled a puff of cigarette and continued, "I'm only 20 years old, young and strong. When I was in the recruit company, I had already received a commendation. It's a sure thing that I'll be promoted to a non-commissioned officer. Even if I can't make a name for myself in the military region this year and don't get any honors, there are still four years to go. In these four years, there will be four major competitions. Even if the military region doesn't compete, our army will compete on its own, and there are also various military exercises.

With so many opportunities, with my ability, I still can't earn a third-class merit and transfer to a second-term non-commissioned officer? Maybe I can get two third-class merits, or a second-class merit, and then I can be promoted directly. Is this calculation correct?"

Wu Liuyi looked at Wang Yan in silence, took another long drag on his cigarette, and nodded with a smile: "No problem."

He said, "In fact, our squad leader used to be very good, but he has gotten older in the past two years and his condition is not so good. If you had come two years earlier, it would not be a big problem for him to transfer to the fourth term."

"He is the squad leader, and he only exerts his strength during military exercises. Then our entire squad must work together. But it's not a big problem."

"Okay, stop talking. I'm afraid I'll cry if I continue talking for a while."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"You don't even want the credit you've earned. Is that too much? If I were a woman, I'd marry you."

"Get lost, you are old and ugly, you are just seeking revenge. Don't be jealous, man."

Wang Yan waved his hand, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it, then stepped skillfully into the flowers and onto the grass, and followed Wu Liuyi away, talking and laughing...

Although Wu Liuyi was very touched, for Wang Yan, this kind of thing was completely easy to do, and he didn't even have to spend any extra energy. Anyway, it was just a matter of running, and he just had to lead Wu Liuyi to suppress the other competing warriors, and let Wu Liuyi run in front in the end.

As a result, Wu Liuyi won first place in the running subjects in the competitions at the regiment and division levels, and secured a third-class merit.

Wang Yan himself is aiming for higher-level competitions in army groups and military regions. As long as he can achieve good results in the next-level competitions, even if he is not first, he can continue to compete. This is enough.

As for merit, the military district's big competition can give him a second-class merit. Since he has a second-class merit, naturally he will not be given a third-class merit at the same time, so helping Wu Liuyi naturally becomes a relatively more cost-effective thing.

Besides, Wu Liuyi is a really good person. There is nothing wrong with giving Wu Liuyi a boost in his future...

On the grassland, Xu Sanduo carried his backpack and walked quickly under the scorching sun. His pace was relaxed and not slow at all.

From time to time, he wiped the sweat off his face. He was silent, his eyes firm.

After returning to the base, he saw a jeep parked outside the base from a distance. Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi were smoking and chatting in the shade with the people from Class 5.

He happily quickened his pace and ran to Wang Yan.

"Wang Yan, squad leader, you are here." Xu Sanduo smiled foolishly again.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, stood up and helped take off Xu Sanduo's bag, lifted it with all his strength, and said, "This must be 40 kilograms, right?"

"That's about right. I can't feel it." Xu Sanduo took the bag, walked to the side and poured out all the stones in the bag, and asked, "Why are you here? It's not time for vacation yet, right?"

"There will be a big competition in the regiment tomorrow, and the company commander gave us a day off so that we can have a good rest and get enough energy. It's not very interesting, so I came to see you. After all, you have more freedom here." Wang Yan replied with a smile.

Wu Liuyi asked, "Why did you think of repairing the road? Are you really free?"

"No." Xu Sanduo smiled innocently, "The squad leader told me. He said our regiment commander wanted to build a road before, but failed. He also said that we should do something meaningful. I think building a road is meaningful. This way, when it rains, we don't have to walk on muddy roads. And I can also exercise by carrying stones."

The other people from Class 5 nearby all looked at Lao Ma.

They didn't know why Xu Sanduo built the road, and it made them feel very uncomfortable. Now they know that it was Lao Ma, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who betrayed them.

Old Ma waved his hands, feeling a little guilty, but staring: "Why are you all looking at me? What's the matter? Wasn't what Sanduo said right? This road should be repaired, it will be more convenient for all of us."

"What? Stop talking." Old Wei waved his hands impatiently.

"What? You talk to the squad leader like that? Huh?" Lao Ma started drinking.

Li Meng said quietly, "You are guilty of a crime and are trying to turn the tables." Regardless of the way they were making faces, Wu Liuyi asked Xu Sanduo, "How far are you going this time?"

"A little over two kilometers."

“That’s five kilometers round trip.”

"No, it's more than two kilometers round trip, less than three kilometers."

"That's fine. How many times a day do you carry it?"

Xu Sanduo thought about it and said, "Not necessarily. Anyway, if I'm not on guard, I'll be repairing the road. If there are no more stones, I'll carry them."

If it were a martial arts film or TV series, Xu Sanduo's current behavior would be like the protagonist accidentally straying into a treasure land, where he had the time and opportunity to practice various martial arts safely. When he came out of the mountains, he would be a great master.

"By the way, Wang Yan, how much is this watch? I can't take it for nothing."

Xu Sanduo still remembered about the watch, so he mentioned it in the letter and even enclosed money in the envelope, but Wang Yan sent it all back to him.

Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand: "We are good brothers, don't always talk about money. If I am short of money, I will definitely ask you for it. Don't think you owe me. I will ask you when I am short of money. If you don't lend me money, I will scold you and say that you are not polite. I am spending a little money on you first, and I am waiting for you to do something big for me in the future."

Xu Sanduo said seriously: "Wang Yan, don't worry, I will give you all I have. If it's not enough, I will borrow from others."

"That's it, why are you still nagging about it? Do you like it?"

"I like it. It's great. Oh, yes, I forgot to end it." Xu Sanduo quickly raised his wrist and operated the electronic watch to end the timing.

Wu Liuyi asked, "How long do you run a five-kilometer cross-country race now?"

"I can't compare to you and Wang Yan. I can only run twenty-two and a half minutes."

"How much weight is it?"

"Thirty kilograms..." Xu Sanduo grinned again.

Wu Liuyi said: "Don't be too tired, take a proper rest, good health is the foundation of everything, and only in this way can you go further. For us soldiers, the biggest challenge is injuries, you have to pay attention. Why, I can't say this?"

Wu Liuyi looked at Wang Yan and met the latter's smiling gaze.

"Of course I can say that, but it doesn't match the image you've always left me with. You should recover."

"Get lost." Wu Liuyi cursed, and then seeing Xu Sanduo grinning foolishly, he couldn't help but curse again, "You are just a fool. All you do is grin foolishly with your teeth bared all day long."

"I strongly agree." Lao Wei next to him said, "He is just a fool, stubborn, and there is no way to have a conversation. You two can tell me, is this interesting?"

Wang Yan laughed: "That must be interesting. Your life is indeed hard. Xu Sanduo wrote to me and told me that you need something to rely on and to kill time here. So you play cards, and Li Meng writes novels and wants to be a great writer. You are all just passing time. Now Xu Sanduo is carrying stones to build roads, which is also a way to kill time. Playing cards is interesting for you. Building roads is interesting for him. That's it."

"No, that's not the case. He is..." Old Wei opened his mouth, then leaned against the wall dejectedly and stopped talking.

"I understand what you mean. He is strict with himself, which bothers you a little. I understand." Wang Yan smiled, "But this is a personal choice. You play cards while he builds roads. There is nothing wrong with that. He is strict, but you are lax. Even if he is not a soldier, but just a civilian, there is no reason for him to be lax with you. Don't you agree?"

"That's true, right..." Li Meng opened his mouth, but he couldn't continue.

Old Ma snorted: "You still have some shame? You can't open your mouth, right?"

No one answered him. People were silent. Xu Sanduo just smiled. Wu Liuyi watched the excitement.

Wu Liuyi certainly looked down on these people, because except for Xu Sanduo, none of them were good soldiers. Yes, he had long believed that Xu Sanduo was a good soldier because of his purity.

It was Wang Yan who broke the silence. He said with a smile, "Actually, you can also build roads with Xu Sanduo, and exercise. You always play cards, lie down or sit all day, and your belly is fat. My family has inherited traditional Chinese medicine. This person can't move too much, and it's not good to not move either.

You are fighting against each other, slacking off, and feeling that this is not right. You want to change. It is normal to lose motivation after being comfortable for a long time. But as the saying goes, you have to do your job well. I think it is better to have some spirit. No matter what, you have to act like a soldier, right?"

Everyone in Class Five, including Lao Ma, lowered their heads. It was simply because it was embarrassing.

"Look, you're embarrassed. I said too much."

"Not much, not much at all." Lao Ma suddenly raised his head. "You're right. We are not worthy of being called soldiers in the current state. I've decided. From today on, we will build roads!"

Having said that, Lao Ma sat up and shouted, "Everyone, go back and put on your bags. Let's go move the stones now."

"Ah? Are you going to do it right away?" Xue Lin said nothing, feeling as if the sky was falling.

Old Wei also widened his eyes: "How about discussing it further?"

"Yes, squad leader, let's..."

Without waiting for Li Meng to finish, Lao Ma shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? Hurry up! Don't force me to do it. Although I'm slack, it's still easy for me to deal with you. Hurry up!"

Just like that, everyone in Class 5 took action, returned to the classroom, got their backpacks, left a message to Wang Yan and the other two saying "We won't entertain you, please do as you please", and ran off.

Xu Sanduo also left. He said goodbye to Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi, and then hurriedly caught up with the team.

They went away against the sun, gradually becoming a few small dots, and finally climbed over a slope and disappeared.

"No, are they sick?" Wu Liuyi turned to look at Wang Yan. He frowned and his face twitched.

"Isn't this just to show us how decisive we are? Do you think they don't know how to be ashamed?"

"What the hell were you doing this morning!"

"It's never too late to turn back. It's always good to make some changes."

"If I were you, you'd be a jerk. What did you say to them?"

"I'm afraid they'll drag Xu Sanduo down."

"Just them?" Wu Liuyi shook his head disdainfully.

"Oh, old squad leader, you really approve of Xu Sanduo now."

"Xu Sanduo is better than them! This guy thinks simply and is persistent. Why don't you let Bai Tiejun come over and give it a try? It won't take more than three days. He must be the laziest among the five teams."

Wu Liuyi stood up and patted the dust off his butt. "Let's go, you are free too. Why do you have to travel so far? You drive the car when we get back. I need to take a rest. I will kill them tomorrow..."

Wang Yan followed Wu Liuyi into the car with a smile.

Soon, the jeep started to burn tires and drove on the vast grassland...

Thanks to the two big brothers (Death God Li Meng) and (Striking the Water to Make the Country Rich and the People Strong) for their support of 100 coins.

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