Section II
The preparation time given by the superiors to the second platoon was two days. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao Wu and Cui Honglin gathered the only two or three comrades in the platoon who knew how to be swimming coaches, and found a few villagers who could support bamboo rows to teach the soldiers to hold boats. In terms of self-rescue, some dried gourds were collected from the surrounding people and tied together with ropes for life-saving use.
Among these swimming coaches, the water is the best among the fifth-class warriors Qin Yongsheng and the fourth-class warrior Jiang Zudong. Qin Yongsheng is a native of Nanliang County, his hometown is close to a cottage not far from Beijiang County, since he was a child, he has dealt with the Beier River and the mountains, and has practiced three unique skills: one is to go down the river to touch the fish, one is to plunge into the river, not out of the water for a few minutes, once surfaced, often catch the fish in his hands: the second hunting is a good hand, no matter how cunning the prey, he can catch it: three have superhuman mountaineering skills and the ability to discern directions and find the way.
The second row chose a place where the river channel was more curved. The water here is slow, shallow with curves, and the average depth of water reaches the belly of a person. Qin Yongsheng took a backpack strap, tied a few dry gourds as buoys in the middle of the belt, and tied the two ends of the strap to the trees on the shore. The entire backpack strap floats a short distance from the shore, separating the shallow water from the deep water, not only as a cordon, but also as a lifesaver in case of danger. After the protective measures were in place, Qin Yongsheng nodded to Xiao Wu, the deputy company commander, who first gathered the team and began to speak before training.
"Comrades! Everyone already understands the importance of this grain shipment, so I won't talk about it here. I know that everyone's enthusiasm is high, but enthusiasm alone is not enough, we also have to have 'two brushes'. In the war, everyone is a good hand, but I can't say anything about the water. Most of our platoons fought all the way from the north to Guangxi, and there is an old saying: northerners are good at riding, and southerners are good at water. That is to say, our northern region is a flat river, suitable for riding a horse gallop, everyone is good at riding a horse, and in the south, the mountains are dense and dense, the water is deep and horizontal, and everyone is good at trekking through mountains and rivers. Needless to say, the southern warriors are the ones who are water, but for us the northern warriors, the water is the number one enemy in front of us. Since our platoon has the determination and ability to defeat any enemy and overcome any difficulties, are we still afraid of the water in front of us? Xiao Wu glanced at his comrades with a firm gaze.
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Unafraid! The comrades of the whole platoon waved their arms and shouted loudly to show their determination to defeat the enemy.
"Good! Now I announce a decision. Qin Eternal Life! ”
"Here!"
"Get out of the line!"
"Yes!" Qin Yongsheng ran out of the queue and stood facing the team.
"Jiang Zudong!"
……
"Wei is proud!"
……
"Three of them were appointed as swimming coaches, and Comrade Qin Yongsheng was appointed as the head coach. I hereby announce a discipline, from now on, in the process of swimming training, anyone, no matter how big or small the rank is, how old the seniority, all actions are under the command of Qin Yongsheng and other coaches, which one has violated, the company commander said, he will be disciplined, do you understand? ”
"Understood!" Comrades replied loudly.
"Qin Eternal Life!"
"Here!"
"From now on, the troops will be under your command and immediately organize swimming training!"
"Yes!"
After Xiao Wu gave the order, he ran into the queue and stood at the front of the line. Qin Yongsheng took a step forward and stood in front of the queue, his body was straight, but his eyes were looking left and right in a panic, his hands that were originally attached to the seams of his pants began to tremble, his straight shoulders began to shake slightly, and on his forehead, large beads of sweat went straight out, and his mouth was fanning but he couldn't make a sound.
He's so nervous! This was the first time in his life that he had spoken as a commander in so many people and on such a formal occasion. He is not a backbone, and he does not have this opportunity to exercise, even if he is a backbone, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to speak in front of so many people. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to start, what to say, as if he felt alone, and even wanted to make a hole in the ground so that he could get into it to avoid such an embarrassing situation. However, no one could help him, and in front of the solemn queue, he was left on his own.
His eyes moved to the eyes of the platoon commander Cui Honglin, and Cui Honglin told him with an encouraging gaze: You can do it! This gave Qin Yongsheng great courage, and finally after a few minutes of silence, two words came out of his mouth: "Dissolve!" ”
Everyone is inexplicable, you look at me, I look at you, and slowly disperse. Qin Yongsheng's own order was in a hurry, and before I finished speaking, why did the team disperse? Hurriedly added loudly: "Change clothes!" Wear only shorts! Only then did everyone understand what he meant by disbanding the troops, and they laughed and stood still.
Xiao Wu stepped forward, patted Qin Yongsheng's shoulder, and praised: "Well, it's good!" Although it's not standardized, everyone understands the meaning, the first time, the performance is good, just do it, just say what you want to say. ”
"Yes! Captain. Qin Yongsheng was affirmed by the leader, and his tense mood was relieved a lot, "Everyone has it, turn back!" - Let's go! - Stand! - Undress! - Put! "With a series of passwords, the comrades neatly arranged their clothes in a line.
After changing their clothes, the troops returned to their original positions, and everyone looked at each other and was happy. All the big military pants, shirtless, white and black, you twist me, I will slap you, and make fun of it.
Qin Yongsheng immediately issued the command of "Lizheng". After the team lined up neatly, Qin Yongsheng began to teach swimming training.
"Learning to swim is simple and simple, some people can learn it at once, but it is difficult to say, and some people can't learn it in a lifetime. Why? There is a saying in our hometown that 'a bird that is afraid of death can never fly', which means that if we want to learn to swim, we must first overcome the fear of water, and then learn to hold our breath, plus simple swimming movements. ”
In the queue, someone raised his hand to speak, and Qin Yongsheng agreed.
"Coach, is it that easy to learn to swim?"
"That's right! It's as simple as that. Learning to swim is easy to do as long as you overcome your fears. Therefore, the first training subject is to practice apnea on the shore, and then go into the water to practice courage. Good! Now follow my example, hold your breath, and see who has the longest breath holding? Qin Yongsheng put his palms down, exhaled, his fists up, inhaled deeply, and closed the dantian. Everyone learned to do it, and the face of a big soldier turned red after a while, Qin Yongsheng pointed at this soldier and said, it will not be able to hold his breath for a long time, because the blood rushes straight to the brain, and the blood pressure is high, and he will soon be unable to hold it. Sure enough, before the words fell, the big man was like a deflated ball, unable to hold back. Qin Yongsheng told everyone that to hold your breath, you must be angry in the dantian, and your heart must remain calm, not impatient or impatient, so that you can hold your breath for a long time.
