Chapter 30: The Second Day of the Recruits' Arrival in the Camp
In an instant, the sky was bright again, and the trumpets sounded in the army, which was the sound of getting up, and the recruits must get up on time, otherwise bad luck would come again.
Many of the recruits complained that they had not slept enough, and that they were looking listless with bags under their eyes. At this moment, the instructors of the various teams began to go crazy, the sound of wooden sticks sounded at the bedside, and then there were lazy, military law servants.
"You still have ten breaths to go, if you still can't get up, the group will give Lao Tzu a hundred miles off-road. The instructor let out cruel words, who dares to touch the head at this time.
The instructor on Zhang Mo's side didn't give the recruits a good face, he saw that except for Zhang Mo, the others didn't listen to the advice, and shouted loudly: "There are still ten seconds!"
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Six!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"When the time comes, there are still some of you who didn't get up on time, and now all of them have, fifty cross-country begins!"
"Instructor, we didn't count seven or five! One recruit argued.
The instructor smiled, "Why are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, you will go a hundred miles off-road!"
The recruits were stunned, and dared not to be convinced? So they immediately ran out of the barracks and began to run.
Fortunately, other teams were also running, and for a while the recruits finally understood. According to the special training course, these instructors first improve the physical strength of new trainees, and indeed, if the physical strength of the soldiers cannot keep up, they can only be used as cannon fodder in the end.
On the battlefield, the warrior has only two tasks, the first is to kill the enemy and obtain meritorious deeds, and the second is to survive, and only by living can he be promoted to the rank of knight. Otherwise, the maximum amount of compensation received by the state is obtained after death.
The instructor first trains the recruits in physical fitness, which helps them a lot in surviving on the battlefield. It's just that many recruits don't understand and stay on the battlefield, and at this time they are lazy and understand why they didn't listen to the instructor in the first place.
There was a slogan in the army that "sweat more on weekdays, less bloodshed in wartime", and slowly, some recruits became a little numb and took mechanical steps, trying not to hold their ranks back.
Fifty teams, at this time you chase me, fifty miles of cross-country is usually difficult to complete, but the day after the recruits enter the camp, it is simply completed.
At this time, all the recruits were hungry, and the instructor did not urge everyone to let all the recruits have a good rest. Soon horse-drawn carts carrying food would come and you could smell the smell of meat from afar.
"Breakfast is coming!" suddenly a recruit shouted, looking like a hungry tiger pounced.
The others also followed and charged towards the carriage, but before they could eat a bite of food, they saw a black-armored man at the carriage station, who was the captain of the military training brigade, He Fei.
"Stop for Lao Tzu! I want to have breakfast and go back to the various ranks to line up, if I see anyone who is not standing up, no one in your team will eat. He Fei put down the cruel words, and the recruits who came to grab the food for a while immediately turned back, and then lined up honestly.
Unconsciously, the recruits have regarded the military order as a barrier higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and more dangerous than the mountains, and no one dares to cross this barrier, otherwise they will not only be injured themselves, but will also affect others.
Among the thousands of recruits, Zhang was silent, he was too low-key, which made Zhang Jing feel incredible.
When he was a child, Zhang Mo has always been a troublemaker, starting from the first time he stole sweet potatoes, to the later stealing his mother's egg-laying hens, he has always been very active. It's just that he didn't expect that after living in Xiling, he returned home and never saw the previous naughtiness, in addition to being calm, he also learned to forbear, which made Zhang Jing's friends feel that he had changed a lot, and felt a little mysterious and a little boring.
The mystery is that Zhang Mo can always make amazing moves when he is unexpected, and the boring thing is that Zhang Mo's life is monotonous, except for eating and cultivating, he is not interested in other things at all.
Just after everyone had eaten and drunk enough, He Fei asked people to distribute the military harnesses, and then pointed to a large pile of stones not far away and said: "You all listen to Lao Tzu, the army does not raise waste, your physique is too poor, so only by constantly stimulating the potential in your body, can you become an invincible knife in a short time." ”
"Now return to the camp with a fifty-pound stone in a cowhide bag in your hand, and your dinner will be settled in the evening, otherwise you will not want to eat dinner." I'm done, let's get started!"
I saw that the stone was blackened, as if it had been used for many years. There was a strong smell of sweat on it. When the recruit came to the rock, he felt sick. The instructors didn't seem to be surprised, and one of the instructors smiled: "Hehe, if you can't stand the smell on it, just vomit, and you will be comfortable after spitting!"
The recruits seemed to have guessed the instructor's scheme, so they naturally held back and didn't dare to vomit. If you really vomit, you will not have the strength to complete the task because of the lack of energy.
Zhang Mo saw that Zhang Jing and the others also wanted to vomit, and reminded: "Everyone hold back and don't vomit! When the time comes, if you can't keep up with your physical strength, not only will you not be able to complete the task, but you will also be burdened by everyone." ”
Zhang Jing and the others nodded, held it hard, then put the stones into the backpack, and then walked back.
Fifty miles may not seem far, but under the load, every step is very difficult. For the first twenty-five miles, most of the recruits were able to withstand it, but the next half of the journey required great perseverance to complete.
When the men and horses of each team are thirty miles, they can still march together, and after forty miles, only the elites of the major teams are resisting. After forty-five miles, even the elite of the major teams began to slow down. In the last five miles, a clear gap between the spearheads also began to appear.
Obviously, Zhang Mo belonged to the first level of the top soldiers, and there were less than twenty people in this level, followed by the second level of the top soldiers, with about 100 people, and the third level of about 500 people.
In the last 500 meters, the top soldiers of the first level launched a general attack, Zhang Mo did not make a bird, and he reached the finish line in tenth place.
For the top soldiers of the major teams, each instructor naturally pays special attention, although Zhang Mo's performance did not emerge at the first level, but it also attracted the attention of his instructors.
After all, not every one of the fifty brigades has people at the first level of the Sharp Knife Soldiers.
The instructor came to Zhang Mo and said with a smile: "Your name is Zhang Mo, right?
Zhang Mo smiled, "But I'm not the first!"
The instructor didn't think about it and said, "You people are all the top soldiers among the top soldiers, and it doesn't matter who is the first." And in my opinion, you haven't really shown your true strength, and if you want to, you can take the first place at any time, right?"
Zhang Mo didn't refute, he did have this strength, but he was used to being low-key, and he didn't want to be a head bird at all.
Uncle Tie taught him before that being a man should be pragmatic, not retreating, and entering the military camp, life is the king. Even if you get the first place, if you show up early, you are very likely to be killed by the enemy early.
You must know that no matter which country you are in, there are spies, and these spies are all dead soldiers secretly cultivated by various countries.
Even if someone in the first echelon of the sharp knife in this military training feels very powerful, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no stronger master among the ordinary soldiers behind.
Zhang Mo heard Uncle Tie say that those enemy countries' meticulous works exist among the recruits, and it is very likely that they are people around them, and if one is not careful, they may die.
Seeing that Zhang was silent, the instructor continued: "I like your character very much, low-key and not discouraged, you will definitely be a person who will achieve great things in the future." ”
"But there is one sentence, I must remind you, in the army, sometimes you need to keep a low profile, and sometimes you need to be properly publicized, otherwise you will be looked down upon for the rest of your life. ”
Zhang Mo didn't know what the instructor's words meant, he nodded, not daring to refute.
Then the other recruits slowly arrived at the barracks, and at this time it was getting late, and the sun was setting, until this time, the recruits realized that they had not eaten at noon, and before they knew it, it was actually evening.
At this time, the recruits dragged their tired bodies into the cafeteria, and then tried to fill their stomachs.
At this time, their arms were numb, and they had to struggle even to eat.
Zhang Jing came to Zhang Mo's side and looked at each other with some envy.
"Zhang Mo, your physical fitness is too good!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but praise.
The other three looked at him and wanted him to give him a good training proposal.
Zhang Mo smiled: "Aren't you all hungry? if you're not hungry, let's go out and practice again, I believe that soon you will be as strong as me." ”
After speaking, Zhang Mo exposed his arms, his fists were clenched, and the large muscles were undoubtedly revealed.
Zhang Jing and the four of them had the strength to practice again, shaking their heads one by one.
At this moment, the captain He Fei came out again, and the recruits wanted to beat him when they saw his ghostly appearance, but the recruits could only vent in their hearts. He didn't care about the recruits' gaze at all, and when he saw someone eating, he was still grinding and chirping, and shouted loudly: "You still have twenty breaths to eat, and if you don't have enough to eat when the time comes, don't eat." ”
He Fei's words were like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, so frightened that the recruits immediately desperately stuffed them into their mouths, and they were talking in a croaking manner before, but now there is only the sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks.
Twenty breaths passed, and He Fei said loudly again: "When the time comes, stop Lao Tzu if you haven't eaten enough, now immediately go to the coaching field to take a step, time, an hour!"
At this time, many recruits complained, angry that there was no humanity in the army, He Fei said loudly: "Shut up Lao Tzu, if anyone talks again, the time will be two hours!"
Not to mention, He Fei roared like this, and no one immediately spoke anymore, and ran desperately to the coaching ground one by one.
Fifty instructors had already stood up, and each team immediately lined up in order.
Zama steps seem easy, but after fifty miles of lightly armed off-road and fifty pounds of weight-bearing off-road, many recruits have long been unable to withstand it, and finally those with poor physique fainted.
Fortunately, there were many military doctors in the Changzhou military camp, and medical soldiers immediately came up to carry away the fainting recruits.
Recruits who faint due to excessive fatigue are present every year, so the military doctor has long been surprised. After giving the fainting recruit a vigorous return pill, the recruit soon came to his senses.
"Wake up, go back to training!" the medical officer reminded.
"Doctor, I haven't fully recovered yet, and I won't pass out again when I go back to training?" said the recruit with some concern.
"Young man, don't tell me the conditions, if you wake up and don't go back, and your instructor finds out, your comrades, including you, will suffer!" explained the medical officer. There were also recruits who refused to leave while lying on their hospital beds, and were finally cleaned up by their instructors.
The recruit knew that he couldn't provoke the instructor at this time, so he had to honestly return to the coaching ground and continue to walk.
At this time, many recruits still fainted, and some of them were opportunistic, they deliberately pretended to faint, and then they were carried away by the medical soldiers.
These opportunistic recruits thought they could hide from the instructor, but at that moment, an instructor suddenly threw a bag of snakes from outside the hospital bed, and then shouted, "There are snakes, run!"
I saw that the recruits who did not faint jumped up one by one, and then hurriedly fled, and then they were naturally arrested.
"You are all doing very well, you know that you are playing dead, in that case, then I will add some material to you, now everyone is carrying fifty pounds of Zama Bu!" the instructor shouted.
As the saying goes, stealing chickens doesn't make rice, and when these recruits heard that the instructor asked them to carry a heavy load, their intestines immediately turned blue.
But what can be done, they can't escape, or they are deserters.
You must know that whether in Chen or other countries, if you become a deserter, you will not only lose shame on your family, but also face a huge fine. The amount of the fine can even bankrupt a very wealthy family, so no one wants to be a deserter in the army.
After the punishment, no one dared to pretend to be dead again. An hour passed, and tonight's training was finally over, but it was only the second day that the recruits entered the camp, and no one dared to chirp at night, and they all fell asleep honestly, of course, fatigue was the main reason.
