Not long after, Zhang Yan returned.

It was noticed that his grenade bag was already filled with four grenades.

He ran up to Dedham, his head still down: "Report platoon commander, grenade...... Picked it up......"

The sound was so small that it was almost drowned out by the sound of rain.

Dai Dehan stared at him, suddenly erupted, and yelled at him, "Do you know what equipment is?!" On the battlefield, it is necessary to rely on equipment to fight with the enemy! What is the equipment, that's your second life! Got it? It's the life of a soldier! ”

Zhang Yan's head was lowered.

"Raise your head!" Dedham said, "Get in the ranks!" ”

He put his hands behind his back and said to Yin Xiancong: "Take them for another five kilometers!" Don't give me a rest at night, double your physical training! ”

……

The cold rain hit his face, and it was as cold as the hearts of all the recruits in the second platoon.

Ten minutes ago, everyone was still excited about the reward they were going to get for the night, and now they have to endure not only double the physical training, but also the shame of cheating!

No one in the team spoke, they were all running with their heads down, this time, the stipulated time was 23 minutes, if the required time could not be reached, then, the face would be another five-kilometer cross-country.

The team ran silently in the rain.

The atmosphere of silence remained silent for a long time, and then suddenly I heard someone scolding: "Damn! ”

Who scolded? I don't know.

Scolding whom? I don't know.

Instead of running with the team, Adai waited at the finish line.

The recruits were nervous and frustrated, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a sense of resentment permeated the implicated team.

Although everyone has worked very hard, although Zhuang Zhuang is not running slowly, although Xu Xingguo has been trying his best to help Guo Xiangyang, who usually runs the slowest way, but because the previous race has exhausted his physical strength, when he reached the finish line, the overall score still did not meet the requirements.

The last place is still Zhang Yan.

"Prepare for the whole platoon, rest for ten minutes, and run again, this time the time requirement is 23 minutes and 30 seconds, and you can't continue to run!"

The rain dripped down the brim of Dedham's hat, and his face was cold, and his tone was even colder.

Ten minutes later, the team was once again on the yellow dirt road that had already been run twice.

This is already the third five-kilometer off-road trip.

Solemnity is on the verge of collapse.

Almost everyone is.

The sound of heavy and rapid breathing around was clearly audible, and everyone's face was mixed with rain and sweat, which had long been indistinguishable.

The weather forecast is only 8 degrees today, and the cold wind blows on the face.

Not far away, on the balcony of a three-storey house, a young boy about four or five years old stared at the recruits running by on the road downstairs.

After looking at it for a moment, he turned his head and shouted at his home, "Mom, Mom! It's raining so hard and people are still running......"

Soon a woman ran out of the balcony, looked down, and said, "Those are soldiers......

After finishing with the child, he turned around and went back to the room.

solemnly felt a kind of grievance and wrong, mixed with some sadness in an instant, and instantly surged into his heart, and the corners of his eyes immediately turned red.

He had never suffered like this.

He felt that he really didn't need to come here and suffer like this.

Why come?

Suddenly, someone in the team pinched their noses and asked loudly, "Do you smell it!?" What stinks so much?! Why does it stink so much!? ”

"Yes! I smell it too! ”

"It stinks!"

In the cold air, solemnity also smelled the stench.

It's a foul smell similar to that in a toilet that drills straight through the nostrils.

Everyone temporarily forgot the fear and fatigue of being punished, and you said a word, and I said a word, and began to discuss the source of the smell.

"Woo-woo-"

Zhang Yan in the team finally cried bitterly.

Xu Xingguo, who had been pulling him forward, covered his nose seriously.

Someone said: "Zhang Yan is sparse ......"

This time, the time was still not up to the mark.

When I got back to the starting point, it was already 25 minutes and 32 seconds, which was 2 minutes slower than the last time.

The rain was heavy, and the wind was strong.

The platoon commander Ah Dai was no longer at the starting point, and it was said that he had gone to the battalion headquarters to review the battalion commander, and only three squad leaders were still there.

All the recruits were no longer able to support it, they were cold, tired and hungry, and the other platoons had already finished their dinner, and now they were sitting in the platoon room for a shift meeting or reading a book or a newspaper.

"Take a 10-minute break and run again, this time for 26 minutes! If you can't reach the time, you will continue to do it again! ”

Niu Dali took off his camouflage cap and walked around in front of the team, covering the stopwatch with his camouflage cap and adjusting the time.

When they heard the squad leader announce that the time was not met, everyone's eyes showed a kind of despair.

"Don't run! Exhausted! ”

Solemnly threw the backpack to the ground and sat on the backpack with his ass.

"it off!"

The physical overdraft and the depression in the heart have made the solemnity have been released.

If you love it, you can do it! He thought.

The solemn words were shouted to everyone's hearts, and then the situation became chaotic, and almost all the recruits responded to his actions.

"I really can't run, squad leader."

"I'm so tired, let's take a break......"

Everyone began to throw backpacks, throw equipment......

Chen Qingming, the sixth squad leader who had been silent on the side, cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "Since you can't run, then, don't force it, I also know that you definitely can't run......

At this point, he paused.

When all the recruits heard this, their hearts suddenly lit up, and they all saw the hope that they could be exempted from punishment.

But soon, the flame of hope that had just been raised was ruthlessly extinguished by the heavy rain.

The smile on Chen Qingming's face quickly solidified, and he gave the order loudly: "The whole platoon listens to the command and carries your equipment." ”

Everyone subconsciously picked up their equipment and put it back on their backs.

Chen Qingming shouted again: "Lie down!" ”

Although they did not understand the meaning of the order, the recruits still fell to the ground mechanically.

"Target, five hundred meters ahead, crawl forward in a low posture! You can't run, so you can always crawl! ”

The recruit, who was lying on the ground, was slightly stunned.

Chen Qingming roared angrily: "Climb for me!" ”

The entire platoon began to slowly move on the ground.

The rain was heavier, and there were puddles of water everywhere on the yellow mud ground, and the raindrops hit it, and the splashed water fell on the solemn faces.

Everyone crawled silently, and the eyebrows and eyelashes were full of yellow, orange and orange muddy droplets.

Zhuang Zhuang felt that he was starting to chill, and after climbing through some puddles, he clearly felt that the originally warm crotch seeped into the cold water, and it was very uncomfortable.

After climbing 500 meters, Chen Qingming ordered: "Stand up!" Turn back! Lie down! 500 meters in front of the target, crawl forward in a low posture! ”

Lying down again, the recruits crawled back along the path they had crawled over.

Despite wearing a thick winter training uniform, there were bouts of piercing pain in my elbows and knees.

Everyone's psychology is quite complicated, humiliation, anger, panic, nervousness, exhaustion, despair, all kinds of emotions are mixed, mixed with those yellow muddy water, seeping into the hearts of the recruits.

"Squad leader! If you want to punish me, punish me! It's all my fault! I was afraid of delaying the results of the whole platoon, so I lost the grenade! It was I who was not feeling well today and poured the water from the kettle in order to easily ......"

Finally unable to endure the psychological torture, Zhang Yan stood up in a pile of prostrate recruits.

Everyone stopped, as if time had stopped.

After a long time, solemnly also stood up: "Squad leader, this time I don't accept it!" It's not our fault! Why do you want to punish us!? ”

The recruits were taken aback.

Zhuang Yan has always been the most stubborn soldier in the platoon, and he is also the recruit who dares to negotiate the price with the squad leader.

Everyone knows that disobeying orders is no joke.

This is the troops.

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!

Lying on the ground, he reached out and pulled his solemn trouser leg.

"Get down, are you crazy?"
