Enlisting for the second time, starting from the strongest

Chapter 178 Arranging the direction of new recruits

A station in Ningxia

The sun hung high in the sky like a fireball, scorching the earth mercilessly.

In addition to the extremely dry air, the occasional strong wind carries the sand and gravel, hitting people's faces like a knife.

Of course, in this extremely harsh environment, there is a group of desert warriors stationed here. They are the most beautiful scenery in nature.

"Damn it! The tent was blown away again! How come the nails were stuck in it! Come on and reinforce it!"

"Bah! How can you eat something that looks like sand bibimbap?"

"I can't stand it anymore. The environment in the past few years has really become worse every year!"

Several soldiers wearing desert camouflage uniforms sat around and whispered.

The sun scorched them, and the only contact with the outside world was the cheekbones under the goggles.

Their faces were also sunburned, their lips were chapped, and their breathing was rapid.

"It's almost time! Just hold on for two more days, and we'll be able to return to the brigade in two more days."

It was Qian Ze who spoke, and his condition was not much better.

Having to command simulated operations in such a harsh environment every day is really not a life that anyone can endure.

"Old Qian, look what this is."

Qian Ze's cell phone rang, and when he clicked on the voicemail, Wang Chen's voice came.

A picture of the student's military rank appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.

"What the hell is this? Isn't it just the military rank of a cadet? I've been leading this thing in the military academy for four years, what's there to show off?"

"Wait! You can't!"

Qian Ze's pupils suddenly dilated, and a series of messages were sent immediately.

But the answers he got were all two words from Wang Chen:

"hey-hey!"

"No! You are such a silly girl!"

Resisting the urge to throw the phone to the ground, Qian Ze immediately started speaking to Wang Chen.

But Wang Chen always seemed to respond with those two words:

Hey!

Qian Ze was so angry that he took a sip of sandy water and looked at the screen of his mobile phone with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

……

"Brother Chen, tomorrow we will take part in the final assessment before the branch company. Do you want to participate?"

Zhou Haotian asked Wang Chen while lying on the upper bunk.

Originally, the content of the assessment was outdoor survival the day before yesterday, but it was suspended due to the mercenary incident.

So the final assessment subject became a comprehensive assessment within the brigade.

For example, the combat skills assessment requires operating light weapons and pistols in accordance with the rules and shooting at specified targets within the specified time.

Similar to shooting on the move.

As well as basic physical fitness tests such as armed five-kilometer horizontal and parallel bars.

"Participate, of course I will, otherwise others will say that I used the back door."

Zhou Haotian was stunned, thinking that when Wang Chen came, wouldn't it be another fish pond bureau bombing?

"Squad leader, Li Pai said that you don't need to participate in tomorrow's recruit assessment."

Wang Chi suddenly spoke.

"Huh? There is such a good thing."

"Yeah, Li Pai said you can just give a demonstration in front of the whole company tomorrow."

Wang Chen:......

Is there any difference between saying this and not saying it? Do you still want to build one?

"Okay, then I'm going to sleep."

Wang Chen turned around and covered his head to sleep.

Early the next morning, it was rare that I didn't get up at five o'clock to run ten kilometers for the armed forces. The recruits were still a little uncomfortable with it.

I simply shouted two slogans in the open space, then went back to clean up and have breakfast. In the morning, all the recruits had put on their equipment and gathered on the training ground.

"In this morning's assessment, I hope everyone can show their due strength."

"Then let's start with the Armed Five Kilometers, followed by one and two exercises on the horizontal and parallel bars."

The armed five-kilometer here is different from the usual lightly-armed five-kilometer.

While carrying all the light weapons and equipment for five kilometers, we also need to carry a series of additional loads such as backpacks and tea jars. The total weight is about 25 kilograms!

This is a completely different concept from the previous light load. You must know that the light load is only about 12 kilograms, and the heavy load is doubled.

Recruits wearing heavy equipment stood on the starting line. Each of their faces was full of nervousness, and their eyes were fixed on the track ahead.

"start!"

As the stopwatch on the watchman's hand was pressed, the recruits immediately rushed out.

Compared with three months ago, their current physical fitness has undergone earth-shaking changes.

They were the top ones selected from each battalion, and there was no one weak in terms of physical fitness. It was another three months of intense training.

In the special operations brigade, the passing time for five kilometers with heavy weapons is 23 minutes. You must know that this is the passing time for ordinary combat troops to pass five kilometers with bare hands.

Even so, in the final total, two-thirds of the recruits passed the test.

Not surprisingly, the first place was Zhou Haotian, who completed the assessment in nineteen minutes and forty-five seconds.

Next is the horizontal bar. If you don't take off your equipment, you can do it with a 25 kilogram weight hanging on your body.

Ten are qualified, fifteen are good, and twenty are outstanding.

Since Zhou Haotian joined the army and worked with Wang Chen, he has practiced very solidly, and finally achieved good results of thirty-six.

"Li Pai, how can I say, my little brother is pretty good, right?"

"You can make arrangements later and get him to my class. I'll just get him to practice in Team A. What do you think?"

Wang Chen poked Li Xin with his elbow.

"It's pretty good, that's what I planned too."

Li Xin also nodded. It seemed that Zhou Haotian's performance in the past three months was indeed good.

In fact, half of the eighty recruits in front of me could not be assigned to the most difficult and tiring combat company.

Most of them still go to the logistics department. Even so, it's a lot harder than ordinary units.

The first and second battalions are reconnaissance combat battalions, which are also commonly known as special reconnaissance battalions.

There are three hundred combat veterans under each battalion.

In addition to the forty new recruits who will be recruited here, there are about sixty new recruits specially recruited next door, and they will also be added to these two battalions.

There are four combat companies in a battalion, and there are also elite combat teams under each battalion.

That's Team A, Team B, Team C.

Each team has sixteen people, eight regular members and eight substitutes.

"Squad Leader Wang, besides this, have you noticed any good talents in the company now?"

Li Xin then asked Wang Chen.

He was a little worried that he had made a mistake in judgment and assigned good seedlings to the logistics department by mistake.

"No, I haven't been in the company for a short time, so I only have my eye on Zhou Haotian."

Wang Chen shook his head.

The assessment was conducted all morning, and after the assessment, the direction of the next company began to be arranged.

When the recruits finished their lunch and were about to go back to work and rest for a while, they suddenly heard the duty officer shouting from downstairs:

"Everyone gather downstairs!"

"Wait and go to the door to welcome the veterans who have returned from the mission outside!"

Wang Chen had a smile on his face and murmured:

"Finally home."
