The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 788: New Stage of Military Training

With more than 20,000 people added to the Malong Military Training Base, it suddenly became lively.

Although they are scattered, they still look very spectacular.

We didn't sleep in tents, but in dormitories.

Training is conducted separately by school.

On this day, at the freshman center of Southwest Associated University, all the freshmen gathered together wearing military training camouflage uniforms.

From today on, military training is no longer just about standing at attention and marching in formation, but will become more in-depth, with activities like learning military boxing, practicing target shooting, etc.

So in order to deter the students, it is time to start performing military boxing.

Compared to some free fighting styles, military fighting obviously does not involve such advanced techniques.

But the simpler the moves, the more lethal they will be if they can be used flexibly.

What's more, the military fighting moves practiced by the troops were all developed through cooperation between the military and civilian martial artists. They are the essence of thousands of years of Chinese martial arts moves.

These instructors had all fought in the battlefield and killed people. Some of them had even killed more than one or two people. Just the sound of them shouting "kill" was full of murderous intent.

Following the grappling and fighting moves, you and I will knock the opponent to the ground in one or two moves. Then the offense and defense will be switched, and another set of moves will be performed. The almost uniform movements have both power and beauty, especially the movement of throwing people to the ground, which is dozens of centimeters above the ground, and the body falls freely.

Many people have already started to imagine how painful it would be.

The grappling and fighting performance lasted for twenty minutes and won countless applause from the freshmen of Southwest Associated University.

Then, the instructors took the students to different places for training.

Starting today, we will only stand at attention and in formation for two hours a day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.

At other times, we practice military boxing, target shooting and so on.

We must get up before 5:40 every morning, do morning exercises at 6 o'clock, which last for an hour, start breakfast at 7 o'clock, and start military training at 8 o'clock on time until noon.

In the afternoon, military training will start at 2:00.

The training intensity suddenly became much stronger than before.

Over the past half month, the intensity of military training has been increasing to allow students to adapt.

Although everyone was complaining, every student persisted.

Human potential is unlimited. Only by constantly challenging yourself and challenging all kinds of impossibilities can you know how powerful you are.

Their current training volume is much worse than the soldiers' usual training, not to mention compared with the special forces.

The sounds of daily training echo throughout the Malone Military Training Base.

Time passed by unknowingly, more than ten days had passed.

The time came to September 9th, which was the time for the military training parade for freshmen.

After nearly a month of military training, the students are different from before. Their skin has become much darker and they look much more capable.

I'm afraid that if he trains for another five or six months, he will be a qualified soldier.

Early in the morning, on the playground, each school had a school flag fluttering in the wind, and after the school flag were the flags of each team.

The principals of each school sit on the podium, reviewing the freshmen of their own school, and inevitably compare them with other schools in their minds.

Liu Tao looked at the young faces. These energetic young people are the future of China.

They determine the future of China.

If the youth are strong, China will be strong.

This is not just talk, but the real fact. The fairest thing in the world is time. Everyone will grow old and die.

No one can live forever.

These young people will eventually shoulder the heavy responsibility of China's development.

As the leaders’ speeches ended, the military training parade began.

During this process, scoring will also be done.

There will be a ranking, and the top ten teams will receive rewards.

Similarly, the instructors of the rewarded teams will also be rewarded, with a second-class merit and an extra month's salary.

The scoring is done by other cadres participating in the military training to ensure fairness and justice.

The military training parade with more than 20,000 people lasted for several hours. When it ended, it was already half past twelve.

After finishing their meal, the students started to pack their luggage in the dormitory. They would return to school in the afternoon.

There is about an hour in the afternoon to take photos for them as a souvenir, and each person is allowed to take ten photos.

Tomorrow morning, these freshmen will set out from Kunming City and head to the Martyrs' Cemetery.

Martyrs' cemetery, different schools are assigned different martyrs' cemeteries.

Southwest Associated University would regularly go to the Masupo Martyrs Cemetery.

Masuluo Martyrs Cemetery is located 4 kilometers north of Masuluo County. Construction began in 1979 and was completed the year before last. It covers an area of ​​more than 50 mu, with green mountains behind and green water in front. A pavilion was built at the gate of the cemetery, with the seven characters "Masuluo Martyrs Cemetery" written on it.

Every year on Qingming Festival, thousands of soldiers, workers, farmers, martyrs' families, government officials, and students from all over the country come to visit and mourn the heroic spirits. Since its completion, this place has been one of the grand spots that are focused on protection and visiting for revolutionary martyrs in Yunnan Province.

This place is even listed as a provincial patriotism education base.

Not only here, a total of 27 martyrs' cemeteries have been built in the past decade.

In these martyrs' cemeteries are buried the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their country.

Every year on Qingming Festival, local students go to the Martyrs' Cemetery under the organization of the school to mourn the heroes.

In this way, people can commemorate and remember the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, and remember the war.

Every inch of China's land is stained with the blood of our ancestors, and no inch of land can be lost.

The martyr's tombstone is very simple, with the martyr's name, date of birth, date of death, where he was from, the unit he belonged to during his lifetime, a black-and-white photo, and a stone tablet next to it with detailed records about the martyr.

The students took pens, paint and cloth, carefully wiped the tombstones and stone tablets, and then carefully repainted them.

Anyone who looks at the tombstones and stone tablets will feel awe and respect for these martyrs.

Liu Tao, Li Fuguo, Qin Tian and others also mourned the sacrificed soldiers.

Their soldiers and comrades are also buried here.

Some of the fallen soldiers have lost their parents and have no relatives, while others are unable to come to pay homage every year due to family reasons or transportation inconveniences, but there are always people who pay homage to them every year.

Every year, Liu Tao would bring his wife and children to these martyrs' cemeteries to mourn the heroes.

He hopes that decades later, after he dies, his descendants will be able to continue this work, remember the war, and commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

The martyrs' tombs in the entire cemetery are neatly arranged in stages on the hillside. From a distance, the milky white tombstones, the bright red five-pointed stars on the tombstones and the emerald green pines set off a beautiful landscape on the border.

Even if thirty, fifty or even a hundred years pass, there will always be people who remember this group of people.
