Chapter 43: Training of the Veteran Company
As soon as the meal was finished, and even before some people had finished eating, the company sounded the whistle for assembly.
The serious expression of the company commander just now made all the recruits suddenly feel a sense of nervousness. Although military training was carried out in the recruit company, as soon as they came to the veteran company, everyone had another understanding of military training, and the military training of the veteran company was not like the military training in the recruit company, and the military training of the recruit company was only a beginning, not an end. Compared with the military training of the veteran company, the military training of the recruit company can be said to be a small thing. Some people even divide it in this way, saying that the military training of the recruit company is the military training of the militia, and the military training of the veteran company is really the military training of the troops! Military training in the true sense.
When it comes to military training, not to mention recruits, even those veterans who have been in the service for several years seem a little nervous.
This military training after Chen Hansheng went down to the company for the second time was no longer a queue, and the queue had been completed before Chen Hansheng came. Today's military training program is also the most arduous project in training, and the content of the training is grinding.
The first training item is to practice lying down. Lying down is not the kind of simple limb transition from standing to falling, but the kind of sudden lying down, the kind of lying down like a piece of wood with a person with a gun. This quick and concise lie down literally breaks every bone of a person. And to complete this action, in the test of war that is about to enter, the sooner the better, therefore, the pain of flesh and skin and the pain of muscles and bones caused by repeated tossing are inevitable.
The training after lying down is crossing. This kind of crossing is not a simple and random crossing, but a crossing with many conditions and obstacles. It is not a crossing in walking, but a low-body crossing after lying down. In the process of crossing, no matter what you encounter, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, you can't bypass it, but can only cross it from the prescribed route.
In the process of crossing, Chen Hansheng encountered a large bubble of cow. Chen Hansheng just frowned, but he was discovered by Company Commander Dong, and shouted an order to continue crossing! Chen Hansheng had no choice but to crawl over the pile of cow dung and continue to cross with the smell of cow dung all over his body. Just when the crossing was about to be completed, a forest of bamboo stakes that had been cut down appeared in front of Chen Hansheng. The bamboo stake is small and sloping with a sharp dew, which is clearly a real knife mountain.
Chen Hansheng felt that if he passed through it hard, he would definitely be injured, and he might even cut his belly.
After a short hesitation, Company Commander Dong once again found out, and ordered Chen Hansheng, "Continue to cross!"
Chen Hansheng instinctively said, "Report chief! This is a bamboo knife forest!"
"Even if it's a sea of fire, you have to break through with me!" Company Commander Dong reprimanded, "Is there anything more uncomfortable than Qiu Shaoyun, Huang Jiguang, and Dong Cunrui?"
As soon as Chen Hansheng heard about Qiu Shaoyun, Huang Jiguang, and Dong Cunrui, the three heroes he had heard of as early as in school, he immediately felt a hundred times more courageous, brave and witty, and turned his body sideways to the greatest extent, like a snake, walking through the bamboo knife, and finally passed through the last line of defense. It's just that his body was inevitably injured by the bamboo knife, and even his belly was scratched, and his military uniform was also torn by the bamboo knife.
"Good job!" Company Commander Dong immediately gave Chen Hansheng a thumbs up and said in front of the soldiers of the whole company, "In military training, we must be like Chen Hansheng who is not afraid of hardships, and would rather scratch his body than complete the task!"
Then he asked Chen Hansheng with concern, "How is it? It doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay!" Chen Hansheng replied loudly.
Company Commander Dong's verbal commendation gave Chen Hansheng a kind of confidence and strength, and he no longer felt that he was a recruit who had been punished from above, but a recruit who had the same competitive qualifications as others.
After a day of intense military training, almost all the recruits felt a little unbearable, thinking that such strict military training, even if there is, should wait for a period of time to give their bodies a chance to recuperate.
However, there was gossip from the company headquarters that the military training program would last for a week and would not change until the next week.
Although there is still a Saturday and Sunday in the week, at least a full day off, the recruits are still a little scared. In just one day, they were almost taken off, and if they continued for a few more days, they would be peeled off if they didn't die.
But although he was afraid, he could not show it, or even have any feelings of fear, otherwise he would be regarded as an incompetent soldier by the company commander.
When Chen Hansheng heard the news, he was naturally as scared as others, especially the injuries on his body that had not yet improved. However, thinking of Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, and Dong Cunrui, what is his injury? Even if there is a week of military training, he has to get through. If you don't regard these seven days as ordinary seven days, but as seven days in wartime, you will not be afraid of any difficulties.
With this kind of wartime mental preparation, Chen Hansheng began to welcome this special week, which was the most difficult and meaningful week in his life.
The next military training is to enter the training of real gun shooting.
In this training, all the recruits took their beloved real guns, which belonged to their own real guns, which were not only different from the public nature of the recruit company, but also could fully arouse the beautiful expectations and longings of childhood.
However, when I really entered the aiming training of the third line, the feeling of only shooting empty guns was really not as energetic as fighting artillery when I was a child. The whole morning and afternoon, I crawled on the three-foot hard ground, the skin was worn out, the hands were calloused, and the eyes were dazzled, but it was still 360 pounds of copper oil before the basket was opened.
Some people began to look at the opportunity to be lazy, not looking at the target in front of them, looking left and right to see if someone was watching. If no one is watching, just pretend to make a pretence and crawl still.
The skinny squad leader is always very clever, he can catch every slacker accurately every time, but he generally just gives you a hint,
Let you realize that only when it is absolutely necessary, he will criticize you for a sentence or two, but it is only in moderation. The one who was criticized by him the most, and even criticized by him by name in the whole company, was Wang Qingai from Zaoyang County.
Wang Qingai is a new recruit who loves to laugh and even a little nonsense, and he hardly has a serious time all day long. Especially when we were doing the queue drill, everyone was standing there solemnly listening to the chief talk about the essentials of the movement, and he suddenly let out a big fart, if you didn't have any reaction, he would come back to a bigger, louder and longer time, or a burst shot, or a single shot, and he didn't stop destroying the serious atmosphere. For this, the squad leader criticized him several times afterwards. But no matter how the squad leader criticized him, he always smiled. This annoyed the squad leader even more, but there was nothing he could do.
The squad leader is an old shooter. At first, everyone only thought that his rifle marksmanship was good, and he almost hit every shot. Later everyone learned that his machine gun played better. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard for everyone to imagine that such a weak man, who was about as thin as a steel bar and weighed no more than ninety pounds, could play with a machine gun as easily as a prop. His lean shoulders rested against the iron turntable butts, as if they were cast together, and the continuous recoil of the machine guns did not affect the target he was firing at all.
The squad leader is already a six-year veteran, because he is the first veteran gunner in the whole 485, and he has won many shooting reputations for 485, and 485 has not let him be demobilized, it seems that he has two ways out, one is to be promoted, and the other is to transfer to the volunteer army.
The squad leader's excellent skills and clear future stimulated everyone's interest in training, and soon, there were two new shooting experts in the class, one was Zhou Chunlin and the other was Dong Guilai.
Chen Hansheng, who once earned the second place in the recruit company, only fought for the sixth place in this veteran company.
In the next bomb throwing training, although Chen Hansheng was willing to endure hardships, because he had rarely done heavy physical labor since he was a child, his body was not the kind of strong type, and his strength was insufficient, and his grades ranked last in the class.
Instructor Wang saw Chen Hansheng's frustration, and he persuaded Chen Hansheng step by step, "Sixth place is not bad! Besides, you still have many special performances that others don't have, such as the kind of spirit you have when you practice the violin, which is also worth learning from others!"
"I found that his art writing is also good!" Company Commander Dong reminded on the side, "The black board he made last time is much better than others! Moreover, he can also draw!"
"That's right!" Director Wang continued, "Why don't you give full play to your strengths!
Chen Hansheng never thought that his own immature little skills could be so affirmed by the head of the company.
The thin squad leader, who had just washed his shoes, heard the praise of Chen Hansheng from the two company leaders, and then said, "Chen Hansheng!
"Okay!" Chen Hansheng suddenly became energetic.
In order to do better, Chen Hansheng bought an exercise book for art characters and studied the writing of art characters. Intelligent, he quickly mastered the essentials of writing various art characters, and also developed a strong interest in painting.
For Chen Hansheng, who is studious and intellectually curious, there are too many things in this world that interest him, not only violin, not just art words, but also performances, speaking allegro, acting cross talk, erhu, shooting, he wants to learn almost everything.
