Chapter 8: Irritability
Midsummer, the old area of southern Gansu, military exercises.
On an open red earth, hundreds of military tents were set up. It's the hottest time of the year, and the knee-high grass on the side of the road grows pretty well, but it looks a little wilted in the heat. A camouflage-painted off-road vehicle drove by, kicking up dust from the road......
Not far away is a lush pine forest, in which many training grounds have been established, which looks mysterious. A platoon leader, Chen Peng, was training with a platoon of soldiers, the mighty chariot was parked there, and several hydraulic supports were already in working condition. Chen Peng stood in the commanding position with a solemn expression, and the first platoon, as an advanced unit of the third company, the company headquarters and battalion headquarters were very concerned, and they all pressed the hope of winning the championship in the exercise on the first platoon. The thirteen soldiers were operating the process in a tense and orderly manner, and Long Yi, as an operator in a row, was also working hard to carry out the operation at hand......
A missile of more than 10 meters stood majestically in the pine forest, and the position was newly opened up in the pine forest, after all, the new equipment still had to be kept secret. After everything was ready, Chen Peng pinched the stopwatch hard.
Xiao Meng, the company commander next to him, habitually asked, "How much time?"
"Seven minutes and thirty seconds!" Chen Peng replied.
"Today is a minute better than yesterday's best result, not bad! Rest for a few minutes, summarize and continue training, and strive to break through seven minutes today, there is not much time, the task is very heavy, everyone cheers up and does it well! After Xiao Meng finished speaking, he jumped into the "Thunder Dragon" four-wheel drive off-road jeep next to him and left.
Chen Peng asked everyone to sit down and said: "Feel free, everyone wipes their sweat, the weather is relatively hot, and everyone has worked very hard for the past ten days." However, everyone knows the significance of this exercise, and the higher-level leaders attach great importance to it, and the new equipment has just been distributed to all companies, and the significance of this exercise lies in enhancing combat effectiveness through three-month live-fire operations. To put it simply, it is to refine the process and shorten the time, the reference time issued by the R&D unit is nine minutes, if which company can greatly shorten the time, then after passing the acceptance of R&D, it will be a benchmark, and the next step will be promoted to each detachment......"
The operators below listened attentively to the instructions of the platoon commander while analyzing the steps that could be optimized. Long Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "The cooperation between my No. 7 side and No. 6 can still be optimized, No. 6's actions are too cumbersome, can I help No. 6 share some of it?" ”
Chen Peng looked at the private in front of him, his eyes rolled back and forth, as if he was thinking about something, and said about two minutes later: "No. 7 can coordinate No. 6, and I have been thinking about how to shorten the time of each operator, don't you say that I really haven't noticed the coordination problem between the operators, and I have put my mind on each operator, right!" There are also No. 3 and No. 4 sides that need to strengthen cooperation......"
The soldiers were resting and discussing how to improve it, and the rest time passed much faster than during training, and a quarter of an hour felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. A new round of training has begun, and the repeated training is just to improve a little bit, which also responds to the old saying 'slow work makes fine work'.
After a morning of training, the fighters' physical strength was basically exhausted. The camouflage uniform was attached to the skin, soaked and dried, dry and soaked, leaving some mottled white sweat stains. The entire operation process has been shortened to about seven minutes, and Chen Peng took the platoon back to the camp after commenting.
The person who has made rapid progress is Long Yi, who has basically caught up with the rhythm of the veterans in a short period of time, and even put forward some details that even the platoon commander ignored. Chen Peng also praised him, and Long Yi was also a little happy in his heart, thinking: If you pay, you will get something, and it is better to participate happily with his scolding, and he must overcome this hot weather.
The sun was still scorching the whole area like a blazing fire, and only the occasional wind brought a hint of coolness, and the forest knew that it was flapping its wings happily, and the sound of one after another echoed in the forest......
After the training, Wang Chunian gathered the whole camp in front of the tent to 'speak', the temperature at noon was close to 40 degrees, and Wang Chunian's 'talk' lasted for almost half an hour without stopping. Long Yi felt sweat running down his fingers to his pants, uncomfortable like a bug crawling, the camouflage uniform was tightly attached to his back, and even the small pebbles on the ground became extremely hot, and the soldiers all scolded in their hearts, but what could they do? I can only pray that the battalion commander will finish speaking soon.
The conditions of the exercise were indeed too bad, and the food was just under a makeshift iron house, which could not be called a house, a large piece of iron sheet was added to several steel columns, and even the ground was covered with gravel, and the whole area was hot. Ryuichi had no appetite at all, and soybean-sized sweat particles oozed out of his arm...... Not one of the soldiers did not curse the weather.
After returning to the camouflage military tents, everyone took a basin and walked to the bathroom. The dragon looked at the face in the mirror, and it was dark! It's stumped too! He gently probed the stubble above his lips with his hand, and some more grew out.
There was laughter in the bathroom, and the hard training had long been thrown out of the clouds. Young people are like this, they are not too pessimistic, they are still scolding their mothers one second, but the next second they seem to have nothing happened.
The tent is not sleepable, and the outside temperature has exceeded 42 degrees Celsius. Jiang Xiaoqiang asked Long Yi to hug the bamboo mat, and the two walked towards the row of trucks. There were already a lot of people lying under the car, wearing fitness pants and sleeping shirtless. Where can I take care of so much, and besides, I have to continue training in the afternoon, and if I don't rest, no matter how strong my physique is, I will step over.
Long Yi found a clearing, got under the truck, spread two bamboo mats on top of the gravel, and fell asleep. Jiang Xiaoqiang threw his clothes under the car, and fell asleep as soon as his eyes were closed......
It was still relatively cool under the car, and Long Yi felt the slightest coldness, and turned his head to see that the squad leader was already snoring. Long Yi looked at the truck chassis stained with yellow mud and thought to himself, how long do you have to stay in this hellish place? Ten thousand question marks lingered in my chest for a long time......
During the afternoon training, the sun was scorching this camp as always, maybe this is the environment that Xia Lian Sanfu talked about...... Long Yi thought.
Dong Hua, the leader of the fifth squad, led several soldiers in the squad to beautify the environment in front of the tent, first using red clay to make a rough outline, and then using stones to pave some patterns. Private Yu Shaoyang was responsible for collecting various types of stones, and used basins to transport stones back and forth; Zhu Ya, a first-class non-commissioned officer, is yarding a five-pointed star, and it is still two corners away from completion; Wang Zhongshi, a second-class non-commissioned officer, was stacking a Great Wall pattern, which was also basically formed, and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth and muttering: "Ah...... Great Wall...... Great Wall...... You're so long, good poetry, good poetry! ”
Dong Hua, the squad leader on the side, said with a smile: "Oops...... Squad leader Wang chanted a good poem!"
Wang Zhongshi smirked a few times and said: "In ancient times, Meng Jiangnu cried on the Great Wall, and now there is Wang Zhongshi laughing at the Great Wall, beautiful...... Beautiful! ”
Seeing Wang Zhongshi sighing, several soldiers laughed. Veterans can entertain themselves, and they can also find fun in such a bitter environment.
At that moment, a soldier ran over as if he was in a hurry, ready to step past Zhu Ya, who knew that the distance was not well grasped and stepped on Zhu Ya's five-pointed star.
"Blind! Damn it! Zhu Ya scolded.
The kid glanced at Zhu Ya with a sideways look on his face and was ready to leave, as if he was in a hurry to do something important. Zhu Ya chased after him and dragged him over, and the kid was also anxious, "Yo...... How to drop? With that, he punched Zhu Ya in the face. Zhu Ya did not have an advantage in height, he was stunned, the time froze for three seconds, Zhu Ya did not show weakness and pulled the opponent's collar and fell on his back, and the soldier fell directly on his stomach.
The soldier got up in dismay, scuffled with Juya......
Dong Hua shouted: "Stop the for me!" Zhu Ya and the soldier could not listen, and they exchanged hands.
I only heard Zhu Ya scream like a pig: "Ah!" The soldier kicked the important part hard, covered his hands and rolled on the ground......
Dong Hua could still see it, and when he went up, he slapped him twice, and the soldier who ate the ear pot slapped twice on his face, and stood motionless......
"Ah......h
Dong Hua thought that he had shocked the soldier, but how did he know that after a hard hit on the face, the soldier fought with Dong Hua again......
Wang Zhongshi of the Great Wall also put down the work in his hand, "Nima is dead!" After saying that, he rushed over. Zhu Ya was lying on the ground and rolling, and the squad leader Dong Hua was also beaten, looking at this horizontal meat, it was not a good thing, and Wang Zhongshi, who couldn't bear it, kicked the soldier out three meters away......
Just when the soldier leaned over, Wang Zhongshi clenched his fists, and it was another set of combination punches, after all, he had practiced in the martial arts school for several years before joining the army. That soldier basically didn't have any effective moves to resist, and his skills were not as good as others, and Wang Zhongshi was easily put to the ground......
Just then, an off-road vehicle rushed over...... With a sudden brake, the wheels slid on the gravel road with a "......" sound. Xiao Meng parked the car in front of the tent. Ran over and asked, "What's the situation?" Dong Hua briefly introduced the situation.
Xiao Meng asked the soldier loudly: "...... Which unit? ”
The soldier didn't look at it and said, "Lao Tzu is in a company!" ”
This Xiao Meng sneered: "How did Huang Da bring out such a thing as you?" "It was a side kick when he went up, and the soldier was kicked hard, flew four meters away, and lay motionless on the ground.
Xiao Meng walked up and squatted next to the soldier and said, "It's still you?" You go back and tell your company commander, just say that the third company commander Xiao Meng beat you, and I'll wait here! ”
Seeing that this was not good, the soldier had to get up and limp away......
Company Commander Xiao flicked his sleeves and said to himself: "Stupid X! ”
Company Commander Xiao looked at the sky, there were only a few clouds, the sky was very blue and the sun was still very poisonous, so he said to Dong Hua: "Take the brothers to find a place to rest, and wait for the sun to go down and then come to the shop!" With that, he walked alone towards the company's tent......
Bite...... Bite...... Bite...... As soon as I walked into the tent, the phone rang. Xiao Meng picked it up and said, "Three in a row!" Who is it? ”
"I'm Huang Da! Company Commander Xiao, right? Just now one of my soldiers said that he was beaten by someone from your company, do you know what the situation is? ”
"I said Lao Huang! You should ask your soldiers! I called ......" and hung up the phone.
Xiao Meng picked up the teapot on the table and took a deep sip, sat down on the stool, slammed the camouflage cap on the table, and said to himself: "Why are there so many X things all day long......"
