Chapter 1173 Armed Cross-country

After lunch, the new recruits in the recruit company took a nap in the barracks.

"Deputy class leader, you are awesome!"

Wang Yan put his hands behind his head and asked with a smile: "How much did you run?"

"Two points and thirty-five, just barely passing."

"I'm exactly 2:30. I'm running to death."

The new recruits all reported their scores at once, including Xu Sanduo, who was on the upper bunk.

He lay on the upper bunk and stretched his neck out: "Wang Yan, I ran 2:15!"

"Well done, but you can't be proud. You have to keep working hard and making breakthroughs. A soldier who is satisfied with passing grades is not a good soldier."

Wang Yan provided emotional value to Xu Sanduo, and the latter really laughed like a fool. In short, Xu Sanduo also hopes that others will recognize him. No one wants everyone to hate him. After all, humans are social animals who live in groups.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever said that he is good. So far, only two people have recognized him, one is Shi Jin and the other is Wang Yan. Therefore, Wang Yan's affirmation is particularly important to Xu Sanduo.

Wang Yan glanced at the others and said, "It's the same for you. Those who failed should work hard to pass, and those who passed should work hard to get faster scores. Our class's results are the best in the company now, so we must maintain it and not let other classes surpass us. I asked the company commander, and everyone in the best-performing class will receive an honorary award, which will be recorded in our files and will also be a bonus when we are promoted to non-commissioned officers in the future."

"That's for sure. We can't let anyone surpass us. Our squad leader is right. If we want to do something, we must be the best."

"Come on, you're the worst in our class, and you still have the nerve to say that. Xu Sanduo practices extra every day, how dare you say that?"

"What are you talking about? It seems like we are lacking something. Right, class vice-president?"

Wang Yan nodded: "That's right, Comrade Xu Sanduo is no longer a drag and is performing quite well. So, you take a rest tonight, and I will practice with you tomorrow night."

"Or else..."

"Huh? Speak louder, I couldn't hear you clearly." Wang Yan tilted his head and tilted his ear.

"I said I will definitely work hard to improve and will never hold our class back."

Wang Yan hummed with satisfaction: "There is always someone who wants to be the last one, but the last one is different from the last one. You have to work hard."

"Yes, yes, the class vice-chairman is right. We must follow his example."

After a few words of laughter, they all fell asleep. In the barracks, snoring sounds came one after another, and the smell of stinky feet filled every corner, leaving no escape.

Fortunately, the new recruits have already adapted to the noise and smell in the barracks. No matter how noisy it is, they can still sleep well...

  Wang Yan had previously heard Gao Cheng talk about an armed cross-country race, and thought it should be around the corner, but he didn't expect it to be today!

In the afternoon, we practiced tactical movements and physical training as usual. After dinner, we conducted ideological study and then focused on housework. This was the end of the day.

Wang Yan practiced with Xu Sanduo for more than an hour.

Actually, Xu Sanduo's grades are now in the upper middle of the recruit company, and he no longer needs to practice extra, just work hard during the daytime training. But Xu Sanduo's understanding is simple, he is afraid that others will catch up with him, because his personal performance will delay Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, Wang Yan and all the students in the class. He doesn't want to delay others, and he also wants to help others, so he practices extra every day, and Wang Yan accompanies him every day.

After all this trouble, I washed up and went to sleep...

After an unknown amount of time, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, awakening the sleeping recruits. It only took a few breaths for their sleepy brains to suddenly become clear, and some soldiers began to greet the people nearby.

"Wake up, wake up, emergency assembly, hurry up."

They lowered their voices and dared not shout loudly.

Because there are emergency regulations, no lights are turned on, no noise is allowed, and everyone must be ready outside the barracks within five minutes.

In the past, the recruits have been trained in this subject. They will have an emergency assembly from time to time. Although they are not used to it, the recruits are basically familiar with it. It's just a matter of speed and duration.

Of course, Wang Yan got up immediately, and then began to pat the upper bunk, calling out to the people around him, asking them to hurry up and call each other. While calling out to people, he quickly put on his clothes, and then quickly packed his backpack, and then took a quick look at the progress of others, confirmed that there was no problem, and ran out directly.

Of course he was not the first to arrive, but no one in his class was slower than five minutes.

Gao Cheng was yawning and smoking, the veterans looked around, scolding those who were talking in the queue, and those who were too sloppy in their armaments. Shi Jin was holding a stopwatch, and after five minutes, Shi Jin put it away.

After a lot of haste, more than a dozen people who still failed stood in a row and started doing weighted push-ups, 50 each. They called it "spirit".

After all this trouble, Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Okay, although there are still some unqualified ones, you are new recruits, so it is understandable. Those who are lagging behind should summarize it by themselves. I am looking at several old faces, you have to reflect on yourself and find the reasons. If you are slow once, twice, then there is a problem if you are slow every time.

Did you think it was over and you could go back to sleep? You are wrong. You all know that we have an armed cross-country race, but you have never run it. Today, your dream has come true. It is a five-kilometer armed cross-country race. You will add a few bricks and a weight of 15 kilograms. This is your first time running, so you will pass in 30 minutes. It is four o'clock now, which is just right for morning exercises. After running, take a rest and have breakfast directly. Okay, let's start."

"Both! Turn right!"

The recruits drove in a line to the corner of the playground and stuffed bricks into their backpacks one by one.

At this time, Wu Liuyi came over. Unlike other veterans who were dressed lightly in preparation for emergencies, he was fully equipped like the new recruits and even carried his Type 81 rifle.

"Wang Yan, would you like to take 30 kilograms?" he said affirmatively.

"Don't even mention 30 kilograms. I'll go with you even if it's 60 kilograms."

Unexpectedly, Wu Liuyi actually hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "This is your first time running, so don't be so radical. I tell you, armed cross-country running, carrying an extra pound on your back, is not a difficult thing. And do you think we are just going to cross-country? We have to walk five kilometers first, and then we can officially start running."

"Lying on the grass!"

Before Wang Yan could reply, the new recruits who were stuffing bricks into their packed backpacks started shouting. They all thought they were running on the playground.

Gao Cheng obviously understood what the recruits were thinking. He didn't scold them, but smiled and explained: "What is cross-country running? Can running two laps around the playground be considered cross-country running? Don't sigh. Can't you see I'm carrying a backpack too?"

He did carry a bag, but it was definitely not as heavy as the new recruits. After all, he was an officer, and the assessment standards were different. Moreover, when it came to physical fitness, he was not as good as his soldiers, after all, they were trained in different directions.

Wang Yan was straightforward, smiled and nodded to Wu Liuyi, and then stuffed twelve red bricks into the backpack. These were good bricks from a real brick kiln, a little over five pounds each, and twelve bricks weighed about sixty-five pounds, heading for seventy pounds.

"I'll make you lose eight or ten kilograms."

"No need." Wu Liuyi flatly refused and added a few bricks to increase the weight.

"Then be careful. Our friendship comes first. Don't try to be stubborn. It will be bad if you get hurt."

"Need I tell you? Let's go now."

After reorganizing the team, the new recruits began the five-kilometer march at a regular speed with heavy steps...

Armed cross-country training is of course necessary. As a soldier, physical fitness is the foundation of everything. In actual combat, a soldier fully armed basically weighs more than ten kilograms. But this cannot guarantee sufficient supplies during wartime. No matter how good the logistics are, it takes time to supply to the front line. On the battlefield, time is the most precious, more precious than life.

Therefore, if the infantry wants to truly engage in combat, they need to have all kinds of light and heavy weapons, ammunition, food, and first aid supplies, which must be doubled to about 30 kilograms.

During the war in Afghanistan, the average weight carried by the US military was 50 to 60 kilograms. The US Marine Corps even requires 60 to 70 kilograms.

Of course, this is not necessary, after all, there are differences in the arms. For example, the 7th Company is a mechanized infantry reconnaissance company. In real combat, the mechanized infantry fighting vehicles can be driven directly to the front-line battlefield, can be interspersed back and forth on the battlefield, and have a strong ability to carry supplies. And a few decades later, a major military artifact, the "Cat Car", has a cute name, but has a variety of forms, which can be called abnormal. The individual mobility of the infantry, the ability to carry supplies, and even the individual long-range strike capability have all been greatly improved.

But after all, the better the physical fitness, the better. After all, what is reliable is the soldier's flesh and blood and iron will.

"Wang Yan, I put two extra bricks in my bag." Xu Sanduo said in a low voice, afraid that others would find out.

Wu Liuyi, who was marching with him, glanced at him and said, "That's pretty good. A man should have ambition, and a soldier should have even more ambition."

Everyone saw Xu Sanduo's efforts, progress and hard work. He gained the respect of the new recruits and also won a little favor from Wu Liuyi. Finally, he was no longer the same person as before, who was annoying to watch.

Wang Yan also nodded: "Why are you speaking so quietly? Are you afraid that someone will hear you? It's a good thing that you increase the weight yourself, but if you fail to run, you will be embarrassed. So, I will give you some motivation."

"Report!" The next moment, Wang Yan shouted loudly.

Shi Jin came over: "Tell me!"

"Comrade Xu Sanduo added two more bricks himself, adding five kilograms of weight."

"Hey..." Shi Jin laughed, "This spirit of actively pursuing progress deserves praise, but criticism is also needed. You should do things within your ability, understand?"

"Platoon leader, I can definitely finish this run."

"Did you practice extra last night?"

"That doesn't matter. I can definitely finish the race!" Xu Sanduo grinned and repeated it again, showing his confidence.

"Okay, then just run well. If you really can't run any more, you can take out the extra bricks halfway."

"I can definitely finish the race!" Xu Sanduo repeated it for the third time without smiling, his face full of seriousness and solemnity.

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, then he became serious: "You must pass the test."

Xu Sanduo was happy now: "Yes! I promise to complete the task."

Gaocheng was not far away, of course he heard and saw it, but that was all. It is easy to make people dislike you, but it is difficult to make people like you after they dislike you. The first impression is always the most important.

After walking for an hour, we arrived at the armed off-road area at around five o'clock.

The recruits rested for a while, prepared themselves a little, drank some water, and then Gao Cheng gave the order and the recruits started running. As soon as they started running, they naturally ran forward in squads.

But there were three exceptions, naturally they were Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi who were determined to compete, and an old soldier who was responsible for timing and marching lightly. The two of them were carrying more than 30 kilograms of weight, and as soon as Gao Cheng shouted to start, the two of them had already rushed out quickly. After only passing two small slopes, the new soldiers behind them could no longer see their figures.

"You are really good, kid." Wu Liuyi breathed heavily and tilted his head to look at Wang Yan beside him.

"Ah, you can still talk? You're not tired. Come on, speed up and give you some strength." As he spoke, Wang Yan sped up and surpassed Wu Liuyi. He even chased after the lightly equipped veteran time trialist.

The old soldier really ran and cursed as he ran. He had to run. He was lightly equipped, almost bare-handed, so it didn't have much impact. If he was caught up by Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi, he couldn't afford to lose face.

Wu Liuyi stopped talking and couldn't laugh anymore. He chased after Wang Yan with his teeth bared...

Cross-country running, as the name implies, is a run on uneven terrain. Running deep and shallow is a drain on your energy, and carrying a lot of weight will naturally drain even more energy.

This is one aspect, and the other aspect is the rhythm of running, which is particularly important in long-distance running, or in various long-distance competitions, such as marathons, road cycling, and so on.

People all have their own rhythm of sustained and stable output, within which they can leave room and ensure maximum output power.

Therefore, in this kind of competition, the way to defeat the opponent is to constantly change the rhythm. This is particularly evident in road cycling competitions. During the course of dozens or hundreds of kilometers, they will constantly change their speed to pull with the opponent and consume the opponent's physical strength. In just a few rounds, they can beat the opponent and constantly eliminate the players in the large group.

That’s what Wang Yan did.

Amid Wu Liuyi's scolding, Wang Yan paced fast at times and slowed down at times. Wu Liuyi didn't want to fall behind, so Wang Yan's speed was his own. But every time he slowed down and thought he could take a rest, Wang Yan would speed up again, which greatly consumed Wu Liuyi's physical strength.

Not to mention Wu Liuyi, even the veteran timekeeper who was running in front was almost exhausted and was also cursing.

But Wang Yan also had a limit, after all, he still focused on completing the course safely. So when it came to the last kilometer, he ran at a steady pace.

But even so, Wu Liuyi ran to the place and immediately lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Fuck, you're such a bad boy." His tongue was hanging out, his mouth was grinning, he looked dead, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and sweat was pouring down.

At this time, the veteran timekeeper next to him spat, took two long breaths, looked at the stopwatch, and then collapsed.

"19:32, 19:43, both under , with a weight of kilograms, fucking awesome!"

Wu Liuyi smiled: "But you are a likable guy. You broke my personal record! Haha~"

"Wang Yan, are you keeping it?" asked the old soldier who was keeping time.

Wang Yan was also panting heavily. He shook his head and said, "I'm almost there. Changing the rhythm means killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own. Come on, old squad leader, I'll loosen your legs for you. Stop twitching. I'm telling you, you've got it. I'm just an old Chinese doctor. I'm good at massage, bone setting, acupuncture and massage. I've learned a few tricks. I'm first-rate at relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation.

Hey, don't disbelieve me, this is my method. I'll open a shop and charge you at least 200 yuan for one session. You'll know when you feel it. I'll charge you less and you can give me two boxes of cigarettes as a gift. "

"If I wasn't exhausted, I would give you a set of grappling moves right now."

"You can't catch me even if you're strong."

"What a beast you are."

"Oh, you can't afford to play, right?"

"I'm complimenting you. 'Big beast' is a good word in our army..."

"thank you."

"Why are you being polite? I am your old squad leader."

Wu Liuyi also started to act naughty.

After all, he is also a young man in his twenties and lively.

Wang Yan smiled and originally wanted to use a gentle method, but touched by the kindness of the old squad leader, he decided to use a more efficient method.

For a moment, the hillside was filled with Wu Liuyi's desperate cries, and at the same time, a somewhat sour voice echoed...

Thanks to brother (penguin20212) for the reward of 5000 coins for continued support.

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