Chapter IV

As soon as the sky was bright, the students couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, or a little fear of the upcoming military training, and got up early. After breakfast, everyone dressed in neat sports uniforms, came to the track and field, lined up in front of the rostrum, and quietly waited for the arrival of the instructors.

At 7:40 a.m., the school bus drove into the campus on time, and seven or eight heroic soldiers from the Liangzhou Armed Police Detachment got out of the car and came to the command platform that had already been arranged. They and the school leaders took their seats on the rostrum one by one, and the brief military training launching ceremony began.

In the principal's speech, on behalf of the school, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Liangzhou Armed Police Detachment for its dedication to education and support for military training, expressed warm welcome and sincere thanks to the participating instructors, briefly explained the purpose and significance of military training, and wished this military training activity a complete success. A leader of the Liangzhou Armed Police Detachment made a statement on behalf of the training instructors, emphasizing that the training instructors were carefully selected by the detachment to serve the military elites, and they had completed the military training tasks of colleges and universities for many times, which were trustworthy, and required the instructors to be strict with the students, enthusiastic service, and successfully complete the scheduled military training subjects.

From this moment on, each class officially entered the barracks mode, six squads are six platoons, and the military training instructor of each platoon is the platoon commander, and the subjects of military training are mainly queue formation, four-sided turning, walking in unison, walking in step and running, as well as relevant training in housekeeping. The military training time is seven days, and at the end of the exercise, there will be a drill performance, and each platoon will be ranked in the competition.

The instructor of the fifth platoon is surnamed Xiong and is a native of Sichuan. He is about 1.65 meters tall, with a small flat head, big eyes, not angry and arrogant, and the first impression is very stern. His Sichuan Mandarin is very distinctive, everyone jokingly calls it "Trump dialect", and everyone takes pleasure in learning to speak him during breaks.

After a brief self-introduction, Instructor Xiong immediately got to work. There are 49 people in the whole row, 26 boys, 23 girls, two columns for boys, two columns for girls, and the extra boys are added to the women's queue. There are 12 people in each column, and there is one more person in the column. Instructor Xiong quickly adjusted the formation according to the height of everyone, and he asked everyone to quickly remember the people in front of and behind them, so as to achieve the goal of quickly finding their position when they reassemble after disbanding.

Zhao Hongyi is very short and can only stand at the end of the queue, but the last position is also very critical, because when he trains in the four-sided rotation method, it is the reference coordinates, and when he does not do well, he is also the object of "yelling". Lin Zemu at the same table is on par with Zhao Hongyi, and neither of them is willing to be this "leading bird", so whoever arrives later will be the vanguard. Once when the two of them were pushing me, Instructor Xiong came over and brought the two to the front of the team, each of them knocked a few "hairy chestnuts", asked to stand in a military posture for 10 minutes, and made it clear that Zhao Hongyi was the vanguard of this queue, and no other positions were allowed to be fought for in the back.

Pity these normal students, who patronized and studied in junior high school, and few of their classmates took standard and complete physical education classes, so that during military training, there were many jokes. Many students can't tell the difference between left and right, turning right when turning left, and turning left when turning right. When shouting the command to align with the forward, the line is not aligned, and the queue is crooked. Instructor Xiong got angry a few times, saying that you secondary school students are not as good as the recruits in our barracks who don't have much education.

After repeated mistakes, Instructor Xiong was speechless, so he had to ask the old student who made mistakes to quietly make a fist with his left hand underneath, make a self-reminder mark, and always look at the back of the head of the student in front of him when he looks forward, blocking your view, which means that you are on par.

The queue formation and four-sided rotation method were trained for three whole days, and the final requirement was to look horizontally and vertically at a line, and the direction was not wrong when the four-sided rotation was made, and the movements were neat and uniform, and only the harmonious notes of "Bo Bo Bo" were heard.

After a few days of getting along, the big guy has mingled with Instructor Xiong during the break, don't look at him when he was stern like a Zhong Kui during military training, and when he sat on the ground, he was easy-going like a brother, even very playful and cute. Learning to speak Sichuan dialect with him has also become the best medicine for students to overcome the scorching sun and forget fatigue. Look at the physical education class, the students have first-class physique, the boys are tall and strong, the girls are also powerful, but they don't obey discipline, the instructor holds an armed belt in his hand during training, even scares and coaxes, and beats, but it doesn't work, the instructor said that more than 50 of them are united as if they are more than 50 people, and they are simply incurable. In general, the students in the general teacher class are very disciplined, and there are basically no students who disobey the discipline, and Instructor Xiong is also at ease.

Walking in unison training began. Although each of us learns to walk at the age of more than a year, how to walk correctly is the biggest problem. Instructor Xiong demonstrated the correct way to move and broke down the essentials of the movement. Then let some students come forward to demonstrate, and the result is an endless stream of funny actions, which makes people laugh. The way of the feet, the amplitude of the swing arms, and the cooperation of the feet when standing are all problems for everyone.

The instructor divided each column into several groups, each of them trained repeatedly according to the essentials of the movements, and when the practice was about the same, the movements of each column were unified, and the whole platoon was trained in a unified manner. Instructor Xiong's method is very effective, through the decomposition of movements, and the training of points and combinations, after two days, everyone has basically learned how to walk correctly, and the neatness and unity of the class phalanx surprised everyone.

Once you learn to walk, it's much easier to learn to run. In less than half a day, the fifth row not only ran neatly, but also ran out of momentum. The classic password of Instructor Xiong is: fast and slow, slow and fast, and small and uniform. These few words later became the classic language of Class 5 and have been with everyone for three years.

The hardest part, of course, is to take the right steps. Zhao Hongyi has always believed that walking is the most beautiful body language of Chinese soldiers, and every time he sees the national flag guards on TV raising the national flag with vigorous steps, he always has a feeling of blood boiling. The six platoons gathered together to observe the demonstration performance of the six platoon commanders. The movements of the six instructors are simply handsome, cool, and incomparably beautiful. When they kick, their legs are straight and the same height, and when they swing their arms, the arms on the chest are bent at exactly the same angle, and the arms behind the arms are at the same bevel, and the fists are in a line. A series of actions is absolutely smooth, in one go, without the slightest bit of mud and water. The six classes of students sitting on the ground below were completely impressed by this beauty, and after the six platoon leaders finished their demonstrations, thunderous applause broke out below, which lasted for a long time.

"We also have to get out of this kind of step that the six relatives don't recognize!" Zhao Hongyi and his classmates secretly made up their minds. The action decomposition method was still adopted, and each queue was divided into a closed training method, and everyone began devil training. The most difficult thing is to straighten the toes when kicking, the calves to be straight, the cooperation of the arms when swinging the arms, and the coordination of the swinging arms and kicking. It's easier said than done, but it's so hard to get the whole class in harmony!

"The rice is eaten in one bite, don't be in a hurry, are you in a hurry? When we were recruits training, we practiced walking for a month, and in order to walk well, we also hung a brick under the leg when we kicked our legs! The standard for everyone can't be as high as for soldiers, everyone remember the essentials of the movements, step by step, and practice slowly! The instructor saw everyone's impatience and eagerness, and cheered everyone on.

"You're from Lange & Söhne? What to see? I'm talking about you! The instructor yelled at Zhao Hongyi, who was rolling his eyes and watching the game of high-fives and flowers played with the instructor during the break of the fourth row of students. Lange, do you have mosquitoes in your ears? There is a saying in our army that says that you are: don't work hard, don't be lazy, and don't have long eyes! The phrase "the ears hit the mosquitoes" later became the classic language of Class 5. Zhao Hongyi was yelled at by the instructor, and his face was so red that he reached the root of his ears.

After half a day, everyone kicked and swung their arms repeatedly, and they were all exhausted, and many students couldn't squat down, and their legs hurt and sore terribly.

"Everyone disband, rest! Sing a song! "Instructor Xiong issued an order. So the big guys sang songs, told jokes, and everyone had to put on a show. Under the encouragement of everyone, Instructor Xiong sang a few military songs for everyone, although his voice was not very good, but the soldiers sang military songs, which had their own charm.

After five days, the training of queue formation, four-sided turning, walking in unison, running and walking is basically over. On the morning of the sixth day, we arranged for each instructor to go to each dormitory to guide everyone to sort out their housework. After a few minutes of sorting by the instructor, I saw a small dormitory for 8 people, the toothbrushing cups were placed in a line, the direction of the toothbrush was also a line, the towel hanging behind the door was a line, the slippers under the bed were a line, and the hot water kettle on the cabinet was ......, and the most rare thing was that the quilt was folded squarely, just like a tofu block, and the four edges were lined, which was breathtaking.

After an hour, the school leaders went to the dormitories of each class to inspect, and one by one showed a satisfied smile, thinking that it was necessary for the students to learn the internal affairs of the soldiers.

The next step is to review, consolidate, refine and improve the subjects studied in the first five days, and prepare for the military training report performance to be held the next day.

The drill show has finally started in everyone's anxious waiting! The main leaders of the school, the leaders of the Liangzhou Armed Police Detachment, were seated in front of the rostrum, and a captain of the armed police squadron served as the chief officer of the review, and the press conference issued the order for the start of the performance. Each row entered the rostrum in turn in the order of drawing lots and was reviewed. The fifth row was drawn to the third to play, and the sequence number was ideal, neither ahead nor lagging behind, in line with the public's expectations. Instructor Xiong, who is usually handsome and confident, seems to be a little nervous.

"All of them! Attention! At ease! Turn left ...... "Everyone is under the command of the instructor, and the movements are neat and orderly. I only heard the footsteps of "Bo Bo Bo", as if it was sent by a person. Walking in unison, running, and walking is also perfect, only to see the slag track rise and rise up with clouds of dust......

In the end, Class 5 won the first place in the gymnastics performance with zero mistakes, impeccable and uniform movements! The audience was boiling, and several older boys were so excited that they lifted Instructor Xiong up, threw it, and then took it. Everyone was happy and excited, and some girls even shed tears of excitement.

Finally, the principal delivered a short impromptu speech, thanking the instructors for their hard work in the past seven days, and congratulating the new students on their fruitful achievements! I would like to express my appreciation for the tenacious will and wonderful display of the students, and hope that everyone will bring this state and spirit of military training to their future study careers and become popular and professional talents. And personally presented the plaque of "Military Martial Arts and National Prestige" to the Liangzhou Armed Police Detachment.
