Chapter 173: Forty-three bells ring

For a whole week, the old cats and the training teams they led launched various forms of raids, in addition to my team, there are several teams are fighting back, basically all of them are based on counter-attack and active defense, but most of the teams are passively defending. After a week, most of the team members looked very tired, and even those of us who had already made a lot of resistance actions and measures had a great degree of mental and physical decay compared with the beginning.

However, fortunately, in this week, except for a few training team members who had to withdraw from the selection due to injuries, no one else was announced to be eliminated by the old cats.

On the evening of the seventh day, just as we were preparing for the night's counter-assault, a hurried whistle suddenly sounded around the various camps.

"Toot toot toot!"

"All assembled! Fast! All assembled! The instructors of the various camps blew their whistles almost simultaneously and then commanded loudly.

Hearing the whistles and orders of the instructors, we immediately put down what we were doing, and without thinking about it, immediately dressed and ran out of the tent.

When we arrived at the open space outside the tent, there were already five or six training teams that were rapidly assembling at this moment, and after all the people were assembled, the instructors and instructors in charge of our several teams did not give any instructions, did not pinch any time, and did not even report the number or anything, and directly ordered us to assemble into two columns.

"All of them! Ten kilometers ahead, the training camp playground, full speed ahead! "The instructor in charge of our squads ran to the flank of our team with a very standard movement, and then shouted orders to us.

As soon as the instructor gave the order, the instructor next to him immediately shouted at us: "All of them!" Run – Walk! ”

After the order was given, our seven squads, plus the instructors and instructors, were sprinkled with eighty or ninety people, almost as soon as a company was formed, and began to line up in a neat line and move at full speed towards the place ordered by the instructor.

Ten kilometers, as a special combat member, this is a regular training content, plus, this time we did not carry any weapons and equipment, so along the way we were very fast, inadvertently we have reached the designated position, and then with their respective teams redivided the area and position, standing in place to standby.

Because the distance between the training teams stationed in each camp and the playground of the training camp varies, the speed of assembly is also different. With the passage of time, more and more participating teams and team members arrived at the playground of the training camp, and they were also lined up in the form of small teams, and at the same time they were on standby.

We stood on the dark playground, maybe it was because of the environment, none of our hundreds of people spoke casually, not even a cough, no small talk, no reply, no report, some were just the orders of the instructors, but all of them stood on the playground and waited, the only thing we could hear was the instructors' orders to change the formation and the footsteps of the various training teams and team members to change the formation, but none of us knew what was waiting for. Looking back now, at that time, our minds seemed to be blank, everyone was blank, and no one knew why we were standing on this dark playground, no one knew why we were here, and we didn't know what we were waiting for here in the middle of the night.

Gradually, the voices of the instructors in the entire playground were gone, and the footsteps of the team and team members who came to assemble became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared, but the hundreds of us were still standing there in the dark for some reason.

After standing for about half an hour, all of a sudden, the headlights around the playground flashed violently, and then all of them lit up, and then the whole playground suddenly became as bright as day, which made those of us who had stood on the dark playground for nearly an hour suddenly have a temporary blindness.

"All of them!" In the midst of a brief blindness, a loud and rough voice suddenly burst into our ears.

Although our eyes are not yet able to see what is in front of us very clearly, we all subconsciously look at the source of the sound.

I saw a vague figure appear on the rostrum in front of us, and then gradually became clear, and there were several blurred figures on both sides of the rostrum. Finally, the temporary blindness caused by the sudden bright light disappeared, and we finally saw the figures on the rostrum.

On the rostrum, there were a total of five people standing, one standing in the middle of the rostrum, and four standing on both sides.

"Lizheng-" The voice dragged on for a long time, but this is also the habit of people who have been in the army for a long time to give orders, and this is the time to prepare for us.

At the sound of the order, the hundreds of special combat personnel present immediately stood up in unison with a "bang" sound.

"Comrades! It is now 12 o'clock at midnight, and after a week-long anti-fatigue training, I now announce that the selection and intensive training of special combat personnel of the special combat brigade directly under the headquarters of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force has entered the second stage, and the physical fitness and skill assessment based on the elimination system will be carried out. "The person standing in the middle of the rostrum did not use a microphone or a speaker, but directly relied on his throat and mouth to speak loudly to us.

In the audience, hundreds of our special combat personnel who came to participate in the selection and training stood with their heads held high, as if they were standing like a pine with a heroic spirit, and they seemed to be glad in their hearts that they had survived this week-long anti-fatigue training, but the next sentence of the person standing in the middle of the rostrum made all the special combat personnel present who came to receive training a sharp mention in their hearts.

"Before the start of the second phase of selection and training, according to the assessment of the previous week, the trainees in anti-fatigue, emergency response ability and disposal ability, after the instructors reported and the brigade party committee inspected, it is now decided to eliminate the following 43 team members." The tone of the man in the middle of the rostrum was cold and did not have the slightest emotion, as if he was just reading a few lines of text.

However, as soon as the person in the middle of the rostrum said this, hundreds of our special combat team members in the audience all mentioned it in their hearts, and the kind of happiness just now disappeared all of a sudden, and even began to be extremely worried, and began to be nervous, even me, the hand that was clinging to the seam line of the trousers, the palm of the hand began to sweat, and the whole person began to enter a state of nervousness, worried that his name would appear on the list of eliminated personnel.

"The list of personnel to be eliminated in the first stage of selection and training is now announced: Ma Yuan, a member of the training team of the Special Operations Brigade of the XX Provincial Corps, Zhang Yu and Wang Chenye, members of the training squad of the Special Operations Brigade of the XX Provincial Corps, and Li Jianqiang, a member of the training squad of the Special Operations Brigade of the XX Provincial Corps...... The list of personnel has been read out! ”

As the person standing in the middle of the rostrum spit out the name of a trainee team member word by word, our hearts will always be violently mentioned, then released, and then mentioned, especially when the trainee team members hear the name of the team they belong to, the whole person enters a state of extreme nervousness.

Fortunately, I didn't appear in the list, neither did Dunxiang, nor did Lao Mao, and the two of them closest to me are still there, but, unfortunately, the twelve members of our "Warrior Squad" who came to train were eliminated one, and the training team I am in now has also been eliminated by two, and I can clearly feel that when the two team members heard their names, the whole person was angry.

"Comrades whose names are read, please come out of the ranks! Meet on my right-hand side! "Under the rostrum, an instructor walked out, saluted the people on the podium, and then said to us.

When this order was given, I could clearly feel the loneliness and unspeakable sadness of the members of the team I was currently in when they left the side.

After the members of the list were assembled, the man in the middle of the rostrum said: "Forty-three comrades on my right, your task has been completed, please ring the bell in front of the rostrum!" ”

The forty-three eliminated players on the list looked at the bell in front of the rostrum one by one, and the rest of our team members also looked over, and everyone's eyes were focused on the bell at that moment. Then you watch the forty-three eliminated players line up one by one and ring the bell.

"When-" "When-" "When-" "When-" "When-"

......

As the bells rang one bell after another, until all forty-three bells were struck, the eliminated team members stood in two rows, facing us. From their expressions, we can see the helplessness and sadness, but also the deep sustenance.

Soldiers are sometimes like this, sometimes they don't need any words, maybe they really respond to that sentence, and silence is better than sound at this time.

"All of them! Salute the forty-three comrades in front of the rostrumβ€”" the man in the middle of the rostrum commanded loudly.

There was a "bang", and the sound of rubbing clothes and cutting through the air came out in unison, and the remaining hundreds of our team members, as well as those instructors and instructors, all saluted the forty-three team members with an extremely standard military salute......
