Solemn didn't know how far he had run.

Ten kilometers?

Fifteen kilometers?

He felt that his shoes were slippery and slippery, and the wet inside of his shoes did not touch his feet at all, and it took more effort than a normal march.

Solemn longs to stop now and change into camouflage shoes, at least lighter.

The sound of breathing in the team came from the stacked figures, getting thicker and thicker.

Fortunately, the rain was getting lighter, and God finally had mercy on these young soldiers.

By the time we reached our destination, the rain had largely stopped.

Everyone no longer cares about the water everywhere, and sits on the ground.

Zhuang Zhuang felt that he was now hot inside and cold outside, and he took off his heavy steel helmet, and the hair on his head actually curled white steam.

Wang Dazui lay beside him, holding his belly up like a toad that had been overturned, and breathing in a big gulp of air.

"I knew that...... The headquarters assessment is not good......"

"It's four o'clock in the morning, let's camp here today, each platoon will be opened, and we will camp in a triangular formation based on the east."

Zhou Huping carried a backpack, didn't know where to get out, and explained to Zhang Heping in a low voice: "This is an orchard, although there is no fruit now, but you should be careful when you set up a tent, go to other places to cut stakes, don't cut down the fruit trees of the common people, whoever dares to cut a branch, I will punish you!" ”

He was until these soldiers under his own command, and he was very wild, and he even dared to cut down the pine trees in the back garden of the division commander, and if he didn't give a special explanation, I was afraid that it would be difficult to be sued by the common people when the time came.

Solemnity began to look up, but now the visibility was so low that he couldn't tell that it was an orchard, only the shadows of some trees.

Everyone took out the tarpaulins one after another, a few people went to the hillside in front to cut wooden stakes, and a few people dug drainage ditches on the designated camp, and they made a fuss for more than half an hour, and finally everything was put in order.

The clothes were wet, it was late at night, no one had any intention of taking them off, and tiredness finally came at this calm moment.

Lying on the damp tarpaulin, the rain dripping from the leaves is like a moving second hand, constantly counting the passage of seconds.

Solemnly pillowing on the camouflage bag and thinking: Tomorrow, it should be a good weather, right?

Early the next morning, everyone got up early in the morning, prepared everything for equipment, and was ready to meet the headquarters assessment at any time.

In the eyes of many students, the teaching brigade is the best-trained unit in the division, and since the headquarters assesses, how can the teaching team be missing?

Not to mention being a pioneer and taking the lead, at least being a main force or something is no problem.

Zhang Heping didn't do anything early in the morning, he didn't even pack his backpack, he directly took his toothbrush to the nearby river to fetch water, squatted under the fruit tree and brushed his teeth unhurriedly.

Zhuang Zhuang couldn't help but ask him: "Lao Zhang, aren't you afraid that you will pull at any time?" ”

Zhang Heping took a mouthful of bubbles and said vaguely: "What are you afraid of, didn't I tell you?" This assessment has little to do with us, so you can rest assured that you can be here on standby, and maybe you can do some logistical tolerances. ”

"You're not kidding, are you?" solemnly remembered the conversation with Zhang Heping in the bathroom that day.

At this point, he didn't believe it was true.

However, God made a joke with the pre-promotion squad leaders of the teaching team who had gathered enough strength to show their skills, and Zhang Heping's prophecy unfortunately came true!

On the first day, the wind was calm, and there was nothing to do except dig some defensive positions in the nearby hills;

The next day, except for the guard post, all the other trainees received orders to rest on the spot.

On the third day, it was still a rest......

On the fourth day, rest and recuperate......

The pretentious advance squad leaders of the teaching team have experienced the process from self-confidence to doubt, from doubt to hope, from hope to disappointment, and then despair in the endless rest.

The three infantry regiments below have been fully mobilized, and the killing sound is shaking the earth and sweating on the assessment field, but these soldiers of the teaching team, who think they are good steel, are like abandoned in the scrap metal pile, with no choice but to wait and hope.

The most infuriating thing is that the division headquarters often sends these soldiers to nearby cities and towns to pull supplies and support the troops' exercises; He also sent them to set up a shooting range and set up a defensive position for the imaginary enemy.

It was really a thousand miles of horses thrown into the big farm, the sheepdogs became the dogs, and the students of the teaching team screamed in the sky, eager to run to the division commander and the assessment team to go on a hunger strike in protest.

Every day, many Type 62 light tanks and Type 63 armored personnel carriers drive on the dirt road near the camp.

The armor roared, the iron flowed rolling, and the yellow dust raised in the sky mockingly struck the students of the longing teaching team on the roadside.

The big-headed soldiers stood on the side of the road, starting from hearing the roar of the engine, and standing until the roar of the engine died down, like a group of abandoned children.

After more than a week in this way, the assessment of the infantry regiment gradually came to an end, and all kinds of gossip about the exercises and assessments became a topic of conversation among the soldiers of the teaching team, such as who hit the first shot in the assessment, which regiment and which battalion were successfully interspersed, which regiment the army aviation cooperated with today to successfully land in the plane, and the effect of the newly distributed missiles was okay, and so on.

The camps of the three squadrons were not far apart, and since there were no combat missions, it was not too much to gather at leisure in the trenches of the defensive positions to brag.

The cadets of the three squadrons are all from different infantry regiments, and the mother is not beautiful in the eyes of no son, and everyone praises the outstanding performance of their old troops, how brave they are, how they cooperate in place, how they command well, and they blow each other and belittle each other.

It wasn't until the sixth day of the exercise that a message suddenly came back from the front exercise area, and this news was like a bomb, which made the originally idle and boring teaching team boil like a fryer.

The news was solemnly learned from the mouth of the leader of the cooking squad of the third squadron.

This is an old comrade who is about to become a volunteer soldier in his fifth year of military age, and his face is simple and honest.

At lunchtime that day, solemnly lined up as usual to get lunch by the Type 91 cooking car and stood for a while.

He noticed something unusual on the face of the cooking squad leader.

His solemn background gave him an instinct to be observant, and he was extremely curious, spending more energy on paying attention to the people and things around him than on training. "Yo, old squad leader, which uninteresting guy messed with you today?"

is about to graduate, and the soldier should be a little more oily, and he asked solemnly and courageously.

The cooking squad leader ignored him, and when he scooped vegetables into a soldier's rice bowl, his hands were obviously very heavy. Boom ——!

The soldier stuck out his tongue and hurried away.

"Old squad leader, what's so angry" The solemn curiosity was unyielding.

"Recruit eggs don't meddle!" The cooking squad leader lowered his head, stuffy his head and just divided the rice and spoon dishes, and suddenly became angry, threw the big vegetable spoon back into the aluminum bucket with a "bump", pointed to the team behind him and scolded: "You mortars are listening, study hard, don't be embarrassed if you can't learn well here!" ”

The entire squadron of more than 100 people was stunned, and everyone raised their heads to look at the cooking squad leader.

The latter was still angry, scolding and swearing.

"It's not good to be an artilleryman, and you can't even serve artillery, and you're eating the country's food in vain!"

After scolding, he scooped up a handful of rice from the bucket and threw it back into the bucket.

Zhou Huping watched from afar, shook his head, and sighed with a wry smile.
