The heavy snow has not stopped since it fell at half past ten last night.

The overnight wind made the snow on the ground thin and thick, deep and shallow, and the soldiers who usually ran fast were in a difficult situation at this time, because the rapid march in this environment was obviously more physically demanding than the usual armed cross-country.

For several years, the Third Company had never trained in a rapid march subject in such an environment.

Only a few veteran non-commissioned officers still have an impression of the original training, and shouted in a low voice to the comrades around them:

"What about slowing down and rushing to reincarnation? The distribution of physical fitness should be even, what are you anxious about at this time. Pay attention to your feet, don't slip, take three steps and one breath, three steps and one exhale, no matter how uncomfortable your nose is, don't open your mouth, and be careful of heat loss. ”

Just now, I was thinking about marching at a speed of five kilometers per hour like in summer and autumn. Calculate the time for six hours, and you can reach the end point at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

But as soon as these veterans were reminded, everyone subconsciously slowed down.

Xiao Chen said that during the rapid march, you can drink some ginger soup in moderation, but you can't cook with fire.

If the heat is lost too quickly, it will definitely not be able to support this march.

Silence, still silence, but everyone consciously followed behind the veteran.

In the end, the physical strength is still sufficient for the time being, so there are still people who can free their brains to think about problems at this time.

Three days ago, Xiao Chen asked them if they were strong enough. No one answered. After today, if Xiao Chen asked, they might say in their hearts that it was not enough.

With such bad weather, if there is a war, will the enemy attack?

This sentence was delivered to the squads along with the order to prepare for a hasty march.

Just last night, after the whole company organized to study the touching deeds of the Battle of Changjin Lake.

War can come at any time, are you ready? This is a sobering statement.

Early this morning, the soldiers got up and began to prepare, without a word of complaint. They all knew very well that if they were a member of the Battle of Changjin Lake, with their current fighting qualities and fighting spirit, they would not be able to hold out to the end.

Xiao Chen looked at the team that was blocked by the wind and snow.

A long snake stretches here, and the standard-bearer at the forefront is Gan Xiaoning, who has now changed drastically.

Since experiencing the selection of Lao A, Gan Xiaoning was transferred to the division reconnaissance battalion and became the deputy squad leader of the third company. But from that day on, Gan Xiaoning always remembered what Xiao Chen had told him at the beginning.

Giving up before reaching the finish line is a different feeling than giving up halfway.

Next time, he wants to reach the finish line, even, fight for the top three. Maybe at that time, it will feel a little better than it does now.

Therefore, Gan Xiaoning hopes that he can be fully prepared when that day comes.

After getting rid of the problem of laziness, Gan Xiaoning is another strongman from the Seventh Company.

He was arranged by Xiao Chen as the standard-bearer, listened carefully to the experience of the veterans behind him, and made adjustments at any time, but he always insisted on being one step faster than others, so that the company flag always fluttered at the front of the team.

An hour passed, and the team was four kilometers closer to the target. By normal standards, the speed of the three companies is among the worst in the army. On average, one kilometer in a quarter of an hour, what is the difference with walking.

But those who really know know that the difference is big.

The wind and snow continued, and so did the rapid march.

A trace of white mist had already appeared on Zong Pingchuan's forehead, but he was not supported by Xiao Chen, but still walked side by side with Xiao Chen.

Two hours, three hours, four hours.

When the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, heaven and earth seemed to become an ink painting. The sky is like light ink, and the earth is like white paper. The place where the shadow is illuminated by the dim light is the thickest brushwork.

There is only such a group of people in heaven and earth, with a white snow cover on their heads, two white eyebrows, a mist on their foreheads, and only the clearest mountains in the distance.

In the last six kilometers, as long as you cross two mountains, it is the Mazi Mountain that Xiao Chen said.

Zong Pingchuan panted and shook off Xiao Chen's hand, he drank warm ginger soup twice along the way, but in the end he still persevered here with Xiao Chen's support. But at this moment, he didn't want Xiao Chen to continue to support himself.

"Company commander, it's the last stretch of the road."

Covering his mouth and trying his best to keep the choking cold wind from blowing directly into his mouth, Zong Pingchuan licked the roof of his mouth with his cold tongue, forcibly swallowed a mouthful of cold spit, and reminded intermittently.

Xiao Chen glanced at him puzzled.

Yes, the last stretch of the road, what's wrong?

"The commander of the third company, you can't fall all two of them behind, and give a bad impression to the soldiers. If the third company wants to strengthen the army, it must first strengthen the cadres. The two of us are dragging our feet at the same time, whether it is because you help me or not, the soldiers will have a distrust of us. ”

"I know you're fit enough to sprint forward, and I want you to get to the front. Set an example for comrades. ”

Xiao Chen wanted to say something, unity, this is the most valuable spirit he learned from Lao A.

Zong Pingchuan is like this, and the next six kilometers will be very difficult. Although there is a car behind him, there is no safety problem. But if he really wants to fall on him like this, Xiao Chen can't accept it in his heart.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was indifferent, Zong Pingchuan shook his head: "Now is the most important time for the spirit of the three companies to condense, the spirit does not appear out of thin air, it needs to be embodied by one person." ”

"I hope it's you, and it can only be you."

"If you're worried about me, come back to me when you reach the finish line. I'm going to be honored, ahem, you know what I mean, right? ”

He was a little excited, and after choking on the cold wind, Zong Pingchuan coughed twice, and simply didn't continue to explain. No matter what Xiao Chenming didn't understand what he meant, anyway, now he wants to push Xiao Chen forward.

Ever since Xiao Chen came up with the idea of shaping the spirit of the Three Companies, he has been studying this issue.

As a political commissar, he knew very well that troops with a fighting spirit in general must have heroic models.

The Triple Company has been formed for a short time, and as of now, there are not enough heroes for everyone to agree with. He thought about it and finally decided to push Xiao Chen out. In terms of combat effectiveness, Xiao Chen is definitely the strongest in the three companies, and in terms of depth of thought, Xiao Chen is also higher than him.

Even if Xiao Chen is still very young, he can't become a hero.

But at least it set a benchmark for the officers and men of the third company.

The benchmark can be surpassed, but it cannot be actively left behind.

Hearing Zong Pingchuan's words, Xiao Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Zong Pingchuan to think like this at all, and facing the gaze of this instructor who was struggling to move forward, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

"Run, run to the front, we haven't been together for long, this is my first request to you."

Zong Pingchuan was choked by the wind again, but he shouted hysterically.

The tail of the large army is already getting farther and farther away, and it is almost out of sight. If Xiao Chen didn't catch up, his hard work would only be in vain.
