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 competitions, experiences are exchanged, examples are discovered, and role models are set, which plays a role in demonstrating and promoting troop training.

In the early days, due to various reasons, when all the people in our country were in arms, local militias also engaged in various competitions and confrontations. Each major military region will also organize competitions and contests among officers and soldiers.

Therefore, 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 competitions every year. There are organizations at the regiment level, division level, group army, large military region and other levels.

As for the grassroots battalion and company level, it is an internal confrontation. There will be some honors in the battalion, commendations, advanced evaluations, etc., and at most they can decide on 'rewards'.

Of course, the army also has authority over the assessment of meritorious service. Generally speaking, battalions and companies can receive commendations, regiments and brigades can receive third-class merit, second-class merit must go to the group army, and first-class merit must be reported to the Military Commission for approval.

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

"The competition will begin next week. First we will compete in our regiment, then we will go to the division, and finally there will be a competition in our military region. As for our company, although I signed up for five people, you two are the only ones who have any hope. There is no chance for the others. You two, if nothing else, our group must be destroyed by me. This is a guarantee. I will not ask for 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 saluted and answered in response.

"Be careful when you two are training these days. Don't get injured and affect the competition. This is no joke. It is related to your future. The importance must be clearly distinguished. I can't worry about this kid Wang Yan, Wu Liuyi Please be careful. Don't show off even when it comes to the big competition. If you can't do it, forget it."

"I know it, company commander."

"Shit, 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 for the first place, but there is always a higher mountain. Then you have to think about your own future. After staying in the army for such a long time, if you retire, Well, what do you think we will do? We can't do it for the entire group army or the entire military region. It's still no problem for our regiment. It won't be a big problem for you in three or five terms. You can work in the army until you retire. That would be great.

Hey, don't stare. Company commander and me, what do you mean? I just want to tell you, fight when you should fight, and don’t fight blindly when you shouldn’t. There is nothing wrong with fighting for honor, but you also have to admit defeat and be able to afford to lose. Is that what you mean, company commander? "

"The summary is very accurate." Gao Cheng nodded with satisfaction, cleared the cigarettes for the two of them, and said to Wu Liuyi, "You should study more with this kid. His ideological awareness is higher than yours, and his brain is smarter than yours."

"Hey, company commander, you can't say that. I can only say that Deputy Wu has his own pursuits."

"You can't offend anyone." Gao Cheng shook his head in a funny way, "Is that what he is pursuing? He is just over the top. He doesn't think about anything and doesn't care about anything."

After talking and joking like this, Gao Cheng had finished his instructions and let the two of them leave.

The two found a place to smoke together again, because Wang Yanshun bought a box of Chinese from Gaocheng...

"So, are you sure?" Wu Liuyi smoked happily.

"Then you have to look somewhere." Wang Yan said, "Third-class merit is definitely no problem. It just depends on whether you can get second-class merit."

"You hope a lot, really. I have participated in the competition several times. Although they are much stronger than me, I can still see it. Unlike you kid, I don't know what your limit is at all. I'll just go for the third level. I've improved a lot in the past few months. I think this is the best time I'll be able to do it."

"Isn't it just third-class merit at the regimental level? It's not a big problem. You're not bad at shooting or anything like that. If you're armed for cross-country, then you run behind me and I'll take you. We're in the regiment and the division , I’ll give you first place and third-class merit easily.”

"Just let me?" Wu Liuyi was stunned for a moment.

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

He blew out the smoke and continued, "I am only twenty years old, which is when I am young and strong. When I was in the recruit company, I have already won awards. I will be promoted to a non-commissioned officer for sure. Even if I can't make it in the military region this year , there is no honor, and there are still four years to come. These four years are just four major competitions, even if the military regions do not compete, our army itself will compete, and there will be various military exercises.

After so many opportunities, with my strength, I still can’t earn a third-class meritorious service and be transferred to a second-class non-commissioned officer? Maybe I'll have to do third-class merit twice, or second-class merit, and then I'll be done. Is there nothing wrong with this calculation? "

Wu Liuyi looked at Wang Yan silently, took another long puff of cigarette, smiled and nodded: "Nothing wrong."

He said, "Actually, our squad leader used to be very good, but in the past two years, he has gotten older and his condition is really not very good. If you had come two years earlier, it would have been better. If he transferred to the fourth period, it would not be a big problem."

"He is the squad leader, and he only exerts his strength during military exercises. Then we have to work together as a whole squad. But it's not a big problem."

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

"It's not that exaggerated."

"I don't want any credit. Is this an exaggeration? If I were a woman, I would marry you."

"You idiot, you are old and ugly, you are just taking revenge. Don't be sour, gentlemen."

Wang Yan waved his hand, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it, then moved skillfully to the flowers and grass, and followed Wu Liuyi away chatting and laughing...

Although Wu Liuyi was deeply moved, for Wang Yan, this kind of thing was done easily and didn't even require him to expend any extra energy. It's just running anyway, just take Wu Liuyi and run against the other competing warriors, and let Wu Liuyi run ahead in the end.

As a result, Wu Liuyi won the first place in the running subjects in the competition at the regiment and division level, earning a solid third-class merit.

Wang Yan himself is rushing to compete in higher-level group armies and military regions. As long as he ensures good results in the next-level competition, even if he is not first, he can continue to compete. That is enough.

As for merit, second-class merit can be given in military competitions. And since he has second-class merit, he will naturally not give him a third-class merit at the same time. So helping Wu Liuyi will naturally become a relatively more cost-effective thing.

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

On the grassland, Xu Sanduo walked quickly with his backpack on his back under the scorching sun. His pace was easy, not slow at all.

From time to time, brush the sweat off your face. He was silent, his eyes firm.

After returning to the station, he saw a jeep parked outside the station from a distance. Wang Yan and Wu Liuyi were smoking and chatting in the shade with everyone in the fifth class.

He happily quickened his pace and ran to Wang Yan.

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

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, stood up and helped unload the bag Xu Sanduo was carrying, lifted it hard, and said, "This is forty kilograms, right?"

"Almost, I can't feel it." Xu Sanduo took the bag, walked aside, 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 competition in the regiment tomorrow. The company commander has given us a day off so that we can have a good rest and recuperate our energy. It's not interesting at all. Let's just come over and have a look. After all, you have more freedom here." Wang Yan replied with a smile. .

Wu Liuyi asked: "Why do you think of building roads? Are you really idle?"

"No." Xu Sanduo smiled naively, "The squad leader told me. He said that our group leader wanted to build roads before, but failed. He also said that he wanted to do something meaningful. I think building roads is meaningful, so it rains We don’t have to walk on dirt roads anymore. And I can practice physical fitness by carrying stones.”

The other people in Class 5 next to them all had their eyes on Lao Ma.

They didn't know why Xu Sanduo built the road. The road construction made them extremely uncomfortable. Now I know, it turns out that it was Lao Ma, the thick-browed man with big eyes, who rebelled.

Lao Ma waved his hands, a little guilty, but stared: "Why are you looking at me? Why, what Sanduo said is wrong? This road should be repaired to make it convenient for all of us."

"What, stop talking." Old Wei waved his hand impatiently.

"What's the matter, just talking to the monitor like this? Huh?" Lao Ma started to drink.

Li Meng said quietly: "You just have a guilty conscience, so I'll beat you up."

No matter how many people winked, Wu Liuyi asked Xu Sanduo: "How far will you go on this trip?"

"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 okay. How many times a day do you carry it?"

Xu Sanduo thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. Anyway, I will build the road without standing guard. If there are no stones, I will carry them."

If placed in a martial arts film and television drama, Xu Sanduo's current behavior is like the protagonist accidentally entering a treasured place and having the time and opportunity to practice various martial arts safely. After he comes out of the mountain, he will be a great master.

"By the way, Wang Yan, how much does this watch cost? I can't ask for it in vain."

Xu Sanduo still remembered the watch, he expressed it in the letter, and even included money in the envelope, but Wang Yan sent it back to him.

Wang Yan smiled and waved his hands: "We are good buddies, don't always talk about money, money, money. If I am short of money, I will definitely ask you for it. Don't think you owe me anything, wait until I have no money. You, if you don't lend me money, then I will scold you and say that you are careless. I am spending a small amount of money on you first, and I will wait for you to do big things for me later."

Xu Sanduo looked serious: "Wang Yan, don't worry, I will give you as much as I have. If it is not enough, I will lend it to others."

"Then it's over, why are you still talking about it? Do you like this watch?"

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

Wu Liuyi asked: "How long does it take you to cross five kilometers 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 carrying?"

"Thirty kilograms..." Xu Sanduo giggled again.

Wu Liuyi said: "Don't be too tired. Take a proper rest. Physical health is the foundation of everything and you can go further. The biggest challenge for us soldiers is injuries. You have to pay attention. What, this I can’t say it?”

Wu Liuyi looked at Wang Yan and met his smiling eyes.

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

"Get lost." Wu Liuyi cursed, and then saw Xu Sanduo grinning, and couldn't help but laugh and curse again, "You are just a fool, grinning all day long."

"I strongly agree." Lao Wei next to him took over, "He is just a fool, stubborn, and there is no way to communicate. You two can tell me, is he interesting?"

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

"No, it's not that, he is..." Lao Wei opened his mouth, leaned against the wall dejectedly, and didn't say anything.

"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 member of the public, there is no reason for him to be lax with you. Don't you think so?"

"That's right, right..." Li Meng opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything more.

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

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

Wu Liuyi certainly looked down on these people, because except Xu Sanduo, none of them were good soldiers. Yes, he had long believed that Xu Sanduo was a good soldier because of Xu Sanduo's 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 Chinese medicine. This person can't move too much, and can't not move.

You are fighting against each other, slacking off, and feeling that this is wrong. You want to change. It's normal to lose motivation after being comfortable for a long time. But as the saying goes, you have to be a monk for a day. I think it's better to have some spirit. No matter what, you have to look like a soldier, don't you think?"

Everyone in the fifth class, including Lao Ma, lowered their heads. There was nothing else to do, 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 like this now, we are not worthy of being called soldiers. I've decided, starting today, we're going to build roads!"

Having said so, Lao Ma sat up and shouted: "Everyone go back and carry your bags, and go move the stones now."

"Ah? Do it now?" Xue Lin didn't say a word, feeling like the sky was falling.

Lao Wei also widened his eyes: "Let's discuss it again?"

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

Before Li Meng finished speaking, 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 to deal with you. Hurry up!"

Just like that, everyone in Class 5 took action, returned to the class room to get their backpacks, left a message to Wang Yan and the other two saying 'No treat, you two can do whatever you want', and ran off.

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

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

"No, are they sick?" Wu Liuyi turned his head to look at Wang Yan, frowning, his face twitching.

"Isn't this to show us the decisiveness of action? Do you think they don't know how to be ashamed?"

"What the hell were you doing earlier!"

"It's not too late to turn back from the wrong path. It's always good to make some changes."

"If I were you, you'd just be rude. What did you say to them!"

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

"Them?" Wu Liuyi shook his head disdainfully.

"Oh, old squad leader, you are very supportive of Xu Sanduo now."

"Xu Sanduo is better than them! This guy thinks simply and can persist. Why don't you let Bai Tiejun come over and try? It won't take three days. He must be the laziest in the fifth squad."

Wu Liuyi stood up and patted the dust on his butt. "Let's go. You are also idle. You have to go all the way. Go back and drive. I need to rest. Tomorrow I will kill them..."

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

Soon, the jeep started with burnt tires and drove on the wide grassland...
