After the battalion commanders tried their best to encourage the soldiers, the selection finally officially kicked off.

Even God seems to have the intention to fulfill it, and the wind and snow have fallen very heavily in the past two days, and the snowflakes that have fallen on the ground have slowly piled up, and they have reached people's ankles.

It is said that snow is not cold and chemically cold, but that is also relative.

At this moment, in this ice and snow, just snowflakes are enough, but there are many strong winds and cold winds on this side of Jinnan, if you wear a little thin, or in a moment, you can freeze a person who has just been brought out of the greenhouse to the point that his face is red and his ears are red, and he shiveres.

In the Yuenan base area, at the foot of the mountain, two platoons of soldiers from Shi Wencai's battalion and company had already assembled.

The soldiers wore some clothes to protect themselves from the cold in winter on weekdays, some wore light shirts, some wore sandwich cotton jackets, and some were wrapped in several layers of coats.

Because the regiment commander Han Feng said that there is no fairness in the external environment in this selection, and the soldiers can wear whatever they can find to wear during the winter on weekdays.

But in fact, at a glance, everyone is dressed similarly, although it is not practical to want to keep out the cold for a long time in such a cold and snowy environment, but compared to the teams of other regiments in the base area, the new third regiment is much better.

After all, there is a regiment leader who can collect money, and there is also a logistics minister Lao Song who can play house.

Sandwich padded jackets are the most common, of course, you don't expect how much cotton to be stuffed into such padded jackets, most of them are the soldiers themselves stuffing some catkins into it.

Winter comes to stuff catkins, then called cotton jackets, the whole winter depends on this cotton jacket to get by, if it is like on weekdays, the weather is colder, the team will reduce the soldiers' outing activities, most of the time in the house cats, trying to do everything possible to keep out the cold.

If, like this selection, they stay in the ice and snow for a long time in these clothes, it will be difficult for the fighters to adapt.

Fortunately, this is a selection, if the Far Eastern Army is formed, of course Han Feng will try his best to prepare thicker clothes for the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army to resist the extreme cold in the Northeast.

Or is this sandwich padded jacket, when it is really a multi-purpose, winter comes to stuff a little catkins into the padded jacket, in the spring to draw some of the catkins inside, into a sandwich thin shirt, and so on to the summer it will be better, simply pull out all the catkins inside, it will become a single coat.

In a difficult environment, our comrades of the Eighth Route Army are so smart.

The year went on and on, sewing and mending until the mezzanine of the garment was so torn that it could no longer hold the catkins.

I can't afford to throw it away, so I can keep the materials for patching the next garment later.

It is for this reason that this kind of sandwich clothing is very popular in the Eighth Route Army, and even relying on this way, I don't know how many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have successfully survived the cold winter again and again.

And this winter seemed to have a new charm, when all the soldiers of the first battalion stood in the ice and snow and shivered.

Of course, the commander of the first battalion, Shi Wencai, is not much better, he has always set an example and loves the soldiers, and his own clothes may not be thicker than those soldiers below.

When he set off with the team, almost out of the room at the camp headquarters, Shi Wencai couldn't help but shudder, and a muttering came out in his heart:

This ghost weather is really fatal, and I don't know what the cold looks like in the four eastern provinces now.

But of course, Battalion Commander Shi will not show it on the surface, when he went out, many soldiers had already put their hands in their pockets to keep warm, although Battalion Commander Shi also wanted to do this, but he pretended to swagger his hands out, and then dangled in the wind and snow.

It was only for less than a quarter of an hour, and with the bitter cold wind raging, the whole hand was a little red.

How much I want to raise my two hands and rub them vigorously, even if it's just a breath of heat to my mouth.

But with so many brothers around him, Shi Wen hardened his head and continued to pretend that he was not cold at all, but that kind of cold was only felt by his own body, and in the bottom of his heart, Lao Shi was about to burst into tears.

The environment for this selection was even worse than the regiment commander Han Feng imagined.

Raging cold snaps, drifting snowflakes, extremely cold weather.

The soldiers of the two platoons stood in a military posture on an open field in this harsh environment.

The other platoon commanders of the first battalion also came, of course, to learn, and Shi Wencai took the soldiers of these two platoons as an example to tell these platoon commanders how to select them by platoon.

The line of about 100 people stood in three rows, leaving a gap in between.

The selection has officially begun.

The commander of the first battalion, Shi Wencai, kept wandering around the team, and a loud voice came out close behind:

"It's all for me to stand up, raise your chest and raise your head to close your abdomen, don't move me, this is a simulation of military activities in cold weather, for example, now we are in the ice and snow, to ambush the enemy, there can be no sound.

The head of the regiment said that this time the selection of elites did not look at anything else, and the first thing I looked at was whether it was anti-freezing or not.

But don't hold on, everyone's body's ability to resist cold is different, some people are in the ice and snow, their hands and feet are also warm, and some people as long as they are placed in a cold environment, their hands and feet will soon be cold.

So, if there is something that can't hold on, just say it and stand up for yourself.

There is no shame in being afraid of the cold. ”

In response to Shi Wencai, the fighters straightened their chests.

Old Shi nodded in satisfaction and paced back and forth in the group.

After about a quarter of an hour, Shi Wencai, who was walking back and forth, felt a little unbearable from the cold, but none of the soldiers in the two platoons withdrew.

Damn.

Sven began to pay attention.

"Mule, your ears are almost frozen purple, hurry up and give it to me, rub it yourself, don't go back and freeze it again."

"That little comrade, what about you, you have been eliminated, go out!"

"Battalion commander, I can still hold on, I'm not cold."

Shi Wencai glared, "Not cold?" Then why are your hands so red from the cold, they're almost freezing, right? ”

Shi Wencai began to turn back and greet the platoon commanders he had brought with him.

"Hurry up and follow me to the team to see, this group of rabbits, none of them are honest, they can't bear the freeze and quit, they have to hold on.

You all take a closer look, and some of your hands and feet are frozen and red and purple, and they are directly pulled out.

The passive complexion is purple and pale and pulled out. ”

"Yes."

The two lines began to be "cleaned up", and one after another the fighters who gritted their teeth and persevered, but were frozen to the point that their bodies turned purple, were all eliminated.

Soon, the original number of more than 100 people became fourteen.

This elimination rate is really high enough......
