The recruits at the station have all left, and the battalion commander, instructor and 186 recruits lined up to hold a closing ceremony. When the military flag, which had been flying over the camp for three months, was lowered, many soldiers shed tears. The battalion commander and instructor stood in front of the queue, and all the officers and soldiers solemnly saluted the military flag!

was about to board the bus and leave, and the villagers of Ximotang Village came to see them off, and many aunts, sisters-in-law, big girls, and little daughters-in-law all cried. This class of recruits and the villagers are like fish and water, and after three months of training, they have formed a deep friendship between the military and the people. The battalion commander Zhang Guangjin saw it in his eyes and immediately announced loudly, "Say goodbye to the villagers for five minutes!" ”

As soon as the order came out, the villagers all flocked to the queue. Uncle Changshan and Aunt Changshan hugged Lin Tao's head, and they were in tears. Yuangu, Anshun and his wife and son Xiaoshanzi surrounded Lin Zhumin, the third squad leader, in the center. The villagers gave each of the soldiers a cloth bag, which was full of fragrant fried peanuts and red dates.

Uncle Ma's family surrounded Yu Songyuan and others in the center, and the atmosphere was much warmer and more peaceful. Yu Songyuan knew that the battalion commander wanted the army to partner with Uncle Ma to open a winery, so he told Uncle Ma, "Uncle, don't forget the words of the battalion commander, set up a fruit winery as soon as possible." Now that the policy is alive, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to encourage private self-employment. ”

……

The "Ghost" training camp is located on a desolate seaside, more than 40 kilometers away from Binhai City. Embraced by mountains on three sides, the vast sea on one side. The Bohai Bay, which was not polluted at that time, was a famous fishing ground, with sail shadows, fishing gulls flying and gulls chirping.

The camp is a huge area, with barbed wire fence built outside, several rows of old barracks used by the army, and slogans written on the walls: "Heighten vigilance, defend the motherland", "unity and tension, seriousness and liveliness", and the red color has been mottled. The large playground is lined with all kinds of training equipment, and a tall simple indoor swimming pool is built next to the playground.

In front of the barracks, the guards were heavily armed and heavily guarded. The military vehicle carrying Yu Songyuan and them rushed into the camp almost at the same time as a truck transporting recruits from the Shidao Recruit Camp. Yu Songyuan nodded roughly, eleven, that is, the other training camp, only eleven people were selected to participate in the "ghost" training.

A white-haired veteran in his forties stood on the playground, his tall body like a majestic tree. The black face looks like an iron tower. Behind him, straddling stood more than a dozen naval officers, both men and women. As soon as the recruits jumped out of the car, Instructor Liu gave an order: "Lizheng!" ”

The veteran ran to salute the battalion commander and report: "Report to the Chief of Staff, the Navy's Dongshan "Sharp Knife" training camp is receiving new recruits, please instruct!" ”

The battalion commander shouted, "Start picking up the troops!" ”

The veteran replied: "Yes! ”

Then, with a standard turn, he gave the order to the recruits, "Each of your beds is marked with your name." Give you five minutes to find your bed, put your belongings, change into your winter training clothes, and gather here in five minutes! ”

The recruits, with their backpacks on their backs, rushed to the dormitory. The dormitory was very clean, all of them were single beds, with everyone's name written on the sign at the bedside, and several sets of training uniforms and two pairs of high-waisted leather hard-soled combat boots were placed on the beds. Yu Songyuan immediately changed into a thick training uniform, then picked up thicker leather boots and put them on, and rushed out of the dormitory.

The middle-aged soldier stood with his hands behind his back, Yu Songyuan was the first to rush over and stand up, and the recruits all rushed out to line up beside Yu Songyuan, naturally in a straddle posture.

The middle-aged soldier said majestically: "My name is Gao Ming, and I am your chief instructor. Let me introduce you to the other instructors first. ”

Gao Ming introduced the coaches one by one, including physical fitness coaches, land and underwater combat coaches, swimming coaches, diving instructors, shooting instructors, ordnance and comprehensive driving instructors, communication and electronic jishu instructors, land and underwater blasting instructors, wilderness survival coaches, skydiving instructors, comprehensive escape and life-saving skills training, foreign language and shijie national conditions coaches, cultural basic knowledge coaches, psychological coaches, etc., a total of 17.

Oh my god, what the fuck are we? Many people were amazed and sighed. Yu Songyuan noticed that many of these coaches were real practitioners, and among them, there were several female coaches, all of whom were also stunts.

Instructor Gao Ming continued, "The amphibious 'sharp knife' is praised as a 'ghost' by foreign counterparts. It is a heroic force, a strategic assault to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial security, and a sharp knife to cut off the black hand that threatens China's national interests. There are five main combat tasks: First, domestic counter-terrorism. The second is overseas special security. The third is the amphibious assault. Fourth, special reconnaissance. Fifth, unconventional operations behind enemy lines. ”

"We are also the most secretive combat unit. Abroad, such units are generally called special forces, such as the Navy SEALs of country M, the alpha of polar bears, etc. What I want to tell you is that after many battles in the air, on land and underwater, they are all defeated by the amphibious 'ghosts'. After two years of systematic training, you will master combat skills in various conditions, and you will be a hundred, a thousand times stronger than them. ”

"The 'Ghost' training camp is a highly classified military secret, and even if you are eliminated, you will have to abide by the Code of Secrecy and keep military secrets for the rest of your life. After training, once you become a real "ghost", no matter where you are in the future, what profession you are engaged in, whether you have changed careers or not, you will be a member of the "ghost" for the rest of your life. We must resolutely obey the call of the motherland, and we must always be ready to sacrifice our lives to safeguard the interests of the country! ”

"Not every one of you qualifies as a member of the 'Ghost'. You are all the best of the recruits, but it only shows that you have the most basic qualifications. In future training, you will have people eliminated from time to time, and only those who persist to Zuihou and pass the actual combat assessment will be eligible to enter the 'Ghost'. I want to emphasize that it is a face-to-face actual combat assessment with the enemy! ”

"Now, you have the right to choose whether to stay in training, or go to the logistics to become an ordinary warehouse soldier or automobile soldier. If you decide to go, please get out of the queue. If you decide to stay, then congratulations, two years of hard training, starting tomorrow. Your training points are 17 points, and if you fail a subject, you will be eliminated immediately! ”

After speaking, he looked at the queue, but the recruits all stood with their hands behind their backs, their heads held high, and no one chose to quit.

Gao Ming said: "Okay, you have a kind. I dare say that while no one has quit, some of you will regret it. You can opt out at any time in the future. Before dinner today, for free time, you will send the regular clothes to the designated place to hand them in, and then familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment of the training camp and disband! ”

The battalion commander has become the chief of staff of Unit 186, and they have long since returned. After the disbandment of the troops, except for Gao Ming, the instructors also left by car. Yu Songyuan and the others returned to the dormitory with excitement, anticipation, and curiosity, and handed over the naval soldiers' military uniforms to the secretary's office. Then, with Lin Tao, Lin Zhumin and a few others, they looked inside and out of the camp.

The camp is large and the training grounds are even larger. In addition to their twenty-eight recruits, only Gao Ming has one instructor and two assistants. There were four people in the battalion headquarters, two of Gao Ming's assistants, plus a clerk.

The service platoon has more than 40 people, mainly engineers, automobile soldiers, professional volunteers of various specialties, and various logistics personnel. The medical team consisted of seven people, one female leader, one male doctor, two female doctors, two female nurses and one female pharmacist. There were seven cooks, the secretary and an old sergeant in charge of groceries, and five cooks.

The classrooms are also located in these bungalows, but they are spacious, and they are like dormitories, with heating facilities such as stoves and flues. The swimming pool is next to the outdoor playground and is simple and has no heating equipment.

At the back of the camp is a barren mountain range, close to the sea, with an area of several tens of square kilometers. It is equipped with a complex system of simple roads, an airstrip, a variety of complex special battlefield terrain, an obstacle course made of engineers, and various other special training sites and facilities.

The jungle here is sparse, with small hills of all sizes, the highest of which can be five or six hundred meters. The camp was surrounded by a high fence, and the training ground was surrounded by barbed wire and trenches, which stretched more than 10 meters into the sea. They walked along the fence and barbed wire to the beach, where they saw the waves rolling, seagulls flying, and in the distance there were huge ships or fishing boats speeding by with long whistles. The seaside is covered with fine sand, and it is a wonderful beach.

At the end of the beach, in the distance, there is a small simple pier and a white lighthouse, which is very fairytale-like. Everyone excitedly walked along the beach, towards the pier and the lighthouse. Everyone is walking, while discussing, looking at today's opening jiashi, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold up zuihou.

Yu Songyuan encouraged, "Two words, 'persistence'." I really can't pass the test, which means that I am not suitable for this, so I just fucking accept my fate. "***, Meng Qi and others, who were not in Class 6 originally, are now voluntarily following Yu Songyuan to get closer.

Lin Tao said, "Do you know that I was specially recruited? I didn't even want to be a soldier, I was trying to chase Qian Xiaoxia at the time, but my father accompanied Battalion Commander Zhang to our house, looking for a reason to fight with me, and then inexplicably made a special move. ”

It turned out that the salt farm was adjacent to the farm, and Lin Tao often went to the farm to play when he was a child. When he was very young, he and his friends went to the farm at night to steal yams, and then hid in the field to burn yams to eat, but they were caught by a labor prisoner who was watching yams.

This farm was still a labor camp at that time. Those who were reformed through labor here were all Kuomintang officers who had been captured that year. During the Cultural Revolution, all the prisoners here were transferred to the inland White Horse Lake Farm, and it became the Construction Corps. The prisoner was tall and big, with long dirty hair and a full beard, forty or fifty years old, and looked terrible, but in fact he was very kind, and did not arrest them, and told them to be careful.

From then on, they often went to play in a shack where the prisoner lived. Later, I learned that this prisoner's name was Zeng Guoyou, and he was a monk in Shaolin Temple before becoming a soldier. After arriving at the farm, he behaved better and was released from his sentence early. But he had nowhere else to go, so he made his home on the farm and was responsible for looking after the crops.

They would come to see Master Zeng every night to practice martial arts, and every time Master Zeng would burn a potato for them to eat. Later, Lin Tao begged his father and wanted to worship Master Zeng as a teacher to learn martial arts. The field director went to the shack many times to ask for advice, and Master Zeng agreed to accept him as an apprentice, teach him to practice basic skills, and teach Shaolin boxing, sticks, knives, and swordsmanship.

He studied kung fu with his master for nine years, and Master Zeng regarded him as a continuation of his life and taught him with affection. Later, the master died of illness and was buried in the cemetery of the farm. Lin Tao only knew at that time that Master Zeng had long known that he was terminally ill.

After the recruitment began, Zhang Guangjin, the commander of the receiving battalion, paid a special visit and took the initiative to learn martial arts with Lin Tao. Lin Tao took out his housekeeping skills, but he was still defeated. Although he was defeated, the battalion commander still recruited him into the army.
