The deepest experience of the recruits in the Sixth Recruit Battalion for more than a month of intensive training is that the officers in the training camp are consistent with their words and deeds, and they are not at all like the officers in the warlord troops, who carry the whip and pull it off when they are slightly up to standard. Sixth, the officers in the recruit battalion must set an example for themselves if they are required of the soldiers.

At nine o'clock in the morning in July, the training ground was scorching, and there were patches of shade next to the field. Wang Changli stood in the scorching sun, sweat beads came out of his dark skin, he was accompanying the soldiers of the Sixth Recruit Battalion who could not meet the standard for the last day of training, if they still could not meet the standard after more than a month of training tomorrow morning, these dozen recruits would be sent home.

Wang Changli couldn't bear to let these dozen soldiers be sent home like this, eating together in the same pot, sweating together, and having fun together. These dozen recruits stared at Wang Changli without blinking, and they were really reluctant to leave the barracks. Everyone wants to be a soldier of this kind, and the military salary is not less than a penny, and it will be remitted directly to their bank account in time. In peacetime, officers and soldiers were equal when they were not trained, and Wang Changli and political commissar Zhang Daokun treated them as brothers.

They must pass the final test tomorrow, they can't afford to lose, the red flag of the training model battalion was taken away from them by the 18th recruit training camp last time.

Political Commissar Zhang Daokun often said that officers should serve the soldiers, be the soldiers' close friends, set an example, and ask the soldiers to do what they want to do. Do things fairly, don't have relatives and aliens. We must respect our subordinates and listen to the opinions of our soldiers with an open mind. Officers are expected to use exemplary actions to attract soldiers around them.

Commanders and soldiers fought for honor and first place in the collective, and their emotions were very high. Regardless of whether the commander was present or not, and whether or not they were carrying out the task alone, everyone's collective sense of honor and responsibility was very strong, and the Sixth Recruit Battalion worked together and walked in unison, like a clenched fist.

Wang Changli taught loudly: "The upper body is upright, leaning forward slightly, the fingers are gently clenched, and the thumb is attached to the second section of the index finger. The arms swing back and forth, and when swinging forward, the elbows are bent, the forearms are naturally closed inward, the palms are slightly downward, and the base of the thumb is aligned with the button, and the bottom button is the same height, about 30 cm away from the body"

Saying that, he started to demonstrate, and after doing it again, he was afraid that these elm heads still couldn't grasp it, so he asked again: "Do you understand?" ”

"I started shouting the password and walked in unison. One-two-one, one-two-one. ”

Wang Changli couldn't wait to go up and kick them a few times, and it didn't take long for the formation to be chaotic. I had to sigh and say to Zhang Daokun: "I said political commissar, don't think about taking back the red flag this time, you can see that the heads and legs of these guys are separated." ”

"I said Lao Wang, you can't be patient, it's really not okay to take your time, and there's no way." Zhang Daokun was also on fire in his heart, these dozen or so people had good grades in other subjects, but they couldn't pass the queue.

The two of them have used all the methods they should have pondered, and it is not good to start by looking at gestures, nor can they draw footprints on the ground.

Wang Changli couldn't help but shouted loudly: "When you swing your arms back, your arms are naturally straightened, and the front side of your wrists is about 30 centimeters away from the seam of your pants. The marching speed is 116-122 steps per minute. ”

After a morning of queue training, the two officers were sweaty and tired, and at noon the two got together while eating in the cafeteria.

"Political commissar, I have something to say, it would be a great loss for these dozen or so soldiers to really let them disarm and return to the fields." Wang Changli said as he ate with his head down.

"What do you say, Wang? I also know that you can't bear them, and I'm also reluctant to be together for a month after all. ”

"Political commissar, you can't report to the higher authorities and suggest that these trained eliminated soldiers be transferred to the engineering troops. These soldiers will definitely be up to the job. ”

"Lao Wang, I really don't understand why General Hu must put the queue first, if you don't meet the standard, you can't become a soldier. Look at these dozen or so that marksmanship is not good? ”

"Commissar Zhang, you still have to study General Hu's booklet carefully, it's no wonder you don't know that you don't have a military background, but if you don't know it for a long time, your superiors will have an opinion on you."

Zhang Daokun said modestly: "Tell me, you came out of Yanyang Military Academy, and you are better than me in military theory." ”

Wang Changli proudly raised his head and said, "Well, General Hu said that the queue has three major benefits, the first is to train the discipline of the soldiers. Queue training can only be practiced by a group of people who obey orders, so the training queue is to train the discipline of soldiers, after all, soldiers must have very strong discipline to ensure that they carry out the orders of their superiors on the cruel battlefield. ”

"The second is to exercise the willpower of soldiers, and queue training is also very physically demanding and enduring, so it is good for exercising soldiers' willpower."

"The third is to show the appearance of the army, so that the people can feel the quality of the army. In peacetime, the army has a good queue posture, which plays a great role in showing the face of the army, after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to go to the barracks to see how well you shoot targets and how well you train. ”

"Wang Changli, General Hu really said the role of the queue one by one, you go back and lend me these books to read, and in the evening I will write a suggestion about the conversion of soldiers who do not meet the queue standards into engineering soldiers."

"Cheng, I'll send you a few books in a while, remember to return them to me."

Since the Sixth Recruit Battalion was equipped with a political commissar, Wang Changli took off from the tedious daily management affairs to concentrate on training the soldiers, and the soldiers' ideological dynamics and political study at night were all taken over by the political instructors.

In the afternoon, the temperature was 30 degrees, Wang Changli was fully armed, carrying a Type 20 rifle behind his neck, four grenades and a water bottle hanging from his waist, and straddled the M191 pistol diagonally. He said to the hundreds of recruits: "The weather is hot, but the routine drill cannot be stopped, even if it is raining hard now, we will still have to do a five-kilometer armed off-road." ”

"I'll repeat the essentials of tactical manoeuvres, the cross-country speed should be even, not fast at the beginning and then slower and slower. It is necessary to distribute the physical strength reasonably, do not stop and open the legs. Don't inhale through your mouth, use your nose. But it is possible to exhale with the mouth. The rhythm is in harmony with the rhythm of the run. Twenty-five minutes is considered qualified, everyone checks the equipment, and sets off in one minute. ”

As the starting gun sounded, hundreds of recruits carried guns and ran out of the camp with Wang Changli on their shoulders. As long as you follow Wang Changli's rhythm, there is nothing that can't be completed.

The correct posture for a 5km trail run is to be even, not fast at the beginning and then slower and slower. It is necessary to distribute physical strength reasonably. Even if you can't run, don't stop, be sure to open your legs. Remember not to inhale through your mouth, but through your nose. But it is possible to exhale with the mouth. The rhythm is in harmony with the rhythm of the run.

When the four kilometers are reached, because of the hot weather, some recruits begin to be unable to support the speed and slow down, and at this time, soldiers often take the initiative to take the guns on the infirm and help him carry them.

It is not uncommon to carry a steel gun behind a comrade-in-arms, even if each other is sweating, the pace of progress will never be messy, even if each other reaches the limit of physical fitness, they can still grit their teeth side by side and cross the finish line, so the comrade-in-arms is definitely worth handing over his back to him in actual combat.

As the last three fighters crossed the finish line holding each other, twenty-five minutes were up. After running five kilometers of armed cross-country running, clothes can be wrung out of water, Wang Changli did not let the recruits rest, but immediately walked to the camp as a team.

Wang Changli dragged the rifle from Zhang Daokun's shoulder and carried it on his shoulder.

"I said political commissar, I really admire you. In a month, I went from unsteady grip to now plating, shooting, bomb throwing, and five-kilometer cross-country without pulling down. ”

"In a word, what a soldier can do, I must do it, otherwise what to talk to a soldier, General Hu said that we, the political instructors, must first be a qualified soldier."

Wang Changli walked in great strides and said, "Alas! There are still three months to go, and it would be nice if we could still partner with each other then. ”

"I estimate that it is difficult, according to the current situation, it is unlikely that we will always be together, our unit is a modular force, a module composed of companies."

"What did Commissioner Zhang say, although I knew about the modular troops, I still didn't understand it thoroughly."

You can see that the combat effectiveness of all companies in the entire unit is the same, and when necessary, the general staff department will directly allocate it to the battalion headquarters according to the number, and the battalion-level organs will have a staff department drawn from the officer talent pool to form a battalion according to the number, and the battalion will be assigned to the regiment according to the number. Now there are only officers at the regimental and brigade headquarters and no troops. ”

"Political commissars who are not familiar with each other like this will affect their combat effectiveness."

"You think it's an old-style unit, all companies have the same combat effectiveness, as long as the company can understand the skills of the soldiers."

"I still don't understand, I'm afraid of what kind of troops are supporting the army for their own use, and all the troops will return to the party."

"Wang Changli, have you ever encountered it, as long as the people of this world have enough power, they will not let go, in the words of General Sun Xiaolan, it is called preventing micro problems, and it is also for the good of the generals."

"I only know to follow Hu Wenkai, and whoever opposes Hu Wenkai will oppose whomever I oppose."

"Haha, everyone is the same, you didn't see the fanaticism of the students when I was studying in the party school, and when I heard that General Hu was coming, they all stood up and sang the song of the motherland in unison, and the slap was red." Zhang Daokun recalled the days of the party school, and a smile appeared on his face.

Wang Changli was jealous and competitive: "We were in Yanyang Military Camp at that time, and it is now called Yanyang Military Academy, and the boss is wearing a military uniform to give us guns. ”

"Got a shot at you?"

"It's not my turn, I was still a rookie at that time, I gave us company commanders a pistol, and now the regiment commander has been transferred to the 10th Division."

"I saw that you looked happy, and I thought I would shoot you."

"Why does Zhang Daokun talk like this, you are jealous."

"Hehe, what can you do with jealousy?"

"I won't tell you, I can't pee in a pot, and people who read a lot of books have a lot of flowers, you remember to report to the top that these dozen brothers can count on you."

"Don't worry, I'll see you still in front of me in the future."
