Xie Jinyuan was taken away by the Ministry of Industry, looking at the empty room, holding the notebook left by Xie Jinyuan in his hand, Lei Zhen didn't have time to taste what is called lost sadness, he was called to the front by Ma Lan.

Looking up and down Lei Zhen, who was standing in front of him, like a javelin, and already had a bit of military temperament, Ma Lan nodded slightly, threw Lei Zhen a shovel, and ordered: "Go to the barracks and find a random open space and dig a trench two feet deep and fifteen feet long." ”

Lei Zhen took the shovel and walked out of the room without saying a word, he knew that from this time on, Ma Lan's training for him had begun.

Lei Zhen found a vacant lot on the south side of the field and began to dig quietly. A few hours later, when Lei Zhen finally dug the trench and invited Ma Lan to the south side of the field with sweat and mud stains on his face, a large group of lone soldiers were already standing around this trench.

Everyone looked at Ma Lan cautiously, for fear that she would say something to drive away, and Yu Decai, the platoon commander of the first company and three platoons who was supposed to help Ma Lan manage the entire military camp, gave a death order to the squad leader under him: "I don't care what method you use, whether you pretend to be stupid or stunned, make a modest and studious posture, or give full play to your veteran's flamboyant tongue, in short, you have a good position for me, and you are not allowed to leave a step!" ”

Several squad leaders nodded again and again, and one of them even slapped his chest loudly: "Platoon leader, don't worry, even if you hold Ma Lan's thigh and call her aunt, I will definitely not take a step back!" If you can't learn three tricks and two styles from the hands of that aunt, my Wang Erhu's king character will be written upside down! ”

They are soldiers, and now in troubled times, they live a life with their heads on their belts. After a series of bloody battles, these veterans clearly knew that when they arrived on the battlefield, a piece of shrapnel the size of a peanut could kill their more than 100-pound body. Under such circumstances, it is of course much more motivating to let these veterans learn how to save their lives on the battlefield to the greatest extent than to let them sit there honestly, listen to platoon commanders and company commanders talk about history and politics, and teach them to read and write.

And Ma Lan, who was born in a special service battalion directly under the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, has received two years of rigorous training as a German special forces instructor, and climbed to the level of company commander as a woman, is of course an expert in battlefield survival. And she ordered Lei Zhen to dig such a trench, of course, to teach Lei Zhen how to make a better defensive surname, a wider shooting field during combat, and a trench and individual pit that cannot be sniped by the enemy.

Of course, Ma Lan knew what these veterans were fighting in their hearts, she casually glanced at the trench dug by Lei Zhen, nodded noncommittally, stretched out her hand and pointed to the soil that Lei Zhen dug out and piled up together, and said, "Find some water to mix them all together." ”

Lei Zhen ran to the kitchen, grabbed two buckets, filled them with water from the water pipe, and flew over again. After running back and forth dozens of times, he finally got out of a big mess of mud.

Ma Lan took out a sealed jar from her room, and when she opened the jar, a stench of gastric juice rushed up from the inside, holding such an altar that God knows what was in it, Ma Lan could still not change her face, and poured all the things in the jar into the mud that thunder shook and settled.

It stinks, it stinks!

If it weren't for covering your nose with your hands, if you weren't coughing desperately to divert your attention, I believe that many people present would have been unable to help but start vomiting.

"This is a gift I prepared for you a few days ago." Ma Lan grabbed the shovel, and while pouring out the ridiculously stinky and smelly things from the jar, a little bit into the mud, he said indifferently: "There are sheep livers, pig lungs, and fish miscellaneous that I asked my sister-in-law to collect from those fish stalls in the vegetable market, which add up to more than ten catties. In order to train you, I, the master, can be regarded as a bloody capital. ”

No wonder it stinks! It turned out that after chopping more than a dozen catties of animal internal organs, they were put into the jar for seven or eight days, but now it is summer, the weather is so hot, and the things in the jar have been vomiting for so long, can it not stink? !

Although he has covered his nose with his hands, the disgusting smell is still stimulating everyone's olfactory nerves, and even their tears can't help but start to shed tears, which shows how smelly these treasures that have been treasured by Ma Lan for seven or eight days are!

By this time, some nimble soldiers had begun to vaguely understand that Ma Lan's training of Lei Zhen was definitely not as simple as digging trenches.

Commanding Lei Zhen to shovel all the mixed mud into the ditch, he saw that in a corner of the dumpling field, there was a dead mouse lying there with his eyes rolled, eighty percent of them were poisoned by rat drugs and had not been cleaned up, Ma Lan reached out and grabbed the tail of the dead mouse and pulled it up, looked at it carefully, and then put the dead mouse into the trench filled with mud. Looking at the wisp of smile raised at the corner of Ma Lan's mouth, all the people present, I don't know why, an indescribable chill swelled up in their hearts.

Pointing to the trench that was filled with mud, mixed with more than a dozen catties of chopped animal offal, and threw a dead mouse into it in front of everyone, Ma Lan said to Lei Zhen: "Go in." ”

Watching Lei Zhen honestly walk into the trench where he dug with his own hands, and adjusted the mud with his own hands, and finally under the command of Ma Lan, he soaked his entire body in the mud, only one head was exposed, and all the onlookers around him were pouring up and down, at this time, they finally understood what it meant to be cocooned.

Ma Lan reached out and grabbed a handful of thin mud full of rotten stench, slapped it all on Lei Zhen's face, and after making a disguise for Lei Zhen that had absolutely no beauty to speak of, he said, "You are absolutely not allowed to come out without my order." You can choose to eat the meal or not to eat it; If you want to urinate and urinate, you can choose to solve it yourself inside, if you think you are strong, strong enough to overcome your body, you can also choose to hold back and not solve it! ”

After giving the order to Lei Zhen, Ma Lan turned his head to look at everyone around him and said, "If any of you are interested in training with Lei Zhen, dig such a trench and soak yourself in it." Now that Regiment Commander Xie is gone, the Ronin is circling around the barracks every day, and I can't even get out of the barracks gate, in this case, I don't mind taking a few more apprentices and training and playing. ”

Ma Lan opened the door to everyone, but the final result was that except for Lei Zhen, who was honestly soaked in the mud, the others, including those who faced the platoon commander Yu Decai, slapped their chests with a clang, promising that even if they hugged Ma Lan's thigh and called their aunt and grandmother, they would never back down, and they must steal a three-trick and two-style squad leader, and they all ran away.

That night, Lei Zhen ate the most peculiar dinner of his life in the mud-filled trenches.

Although Ling Weicheng's throat was also tightened by the animal internal organs mixed with the mud, Ling Weicheng still squatted in front of Lei Zhen, tried to maintain a calm expression, and opened the bamboo basket in his hand.

Lei Zhen's nose must have been accustomed to the foul smell in the mud now, in this kind of environment that no normal person can bear, he actually took a deep breath, and a happy smile appeared on his face, "It's so fragrant, it's steamed buns?!" Thank you, Master! ”

Looking at Lei Zhen, who was soaked in mud, but was swallowing saliva hard, twitching his nose, and was ready to eat a big meal, Ling Weicheng really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this time. At this time, this child made such an expression, didn't he just want her to laugh, didn't he just want her to reduce the confusion and hesitation caused by Xie Jinyuan's departure? !

Although he can't smell the smell anymore, Lei Zhen's nose is still smarter than a dog, and the dishes that Ling Weicheng sent to Lei Zhen are really steamed buns! In order to facilitate Lei Zhen's meal, Ling Weicheng specially sandwiched the prepared dishes in the steamed buns. When Ling Weicheng handed the steamed bun to Lei Zhen's mouth and wanted to feed Lei Zhen, Lei Zhen shook his head.

"If this is really on the battlefield, there is absolutely no way that someone will bring something to my mouth and feed me."

Stretched out his big hand stained with mud, took the steamed bun, Lei Zhen put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, looking at the mud stained on the steamed bun, smelling the pungent stench, when Ling Weicheng saw that Lei Zhen actually sent the part of the steamed bun stained with mud into his stomach, Ling Weicheng could no longer suppress the churning of his stomach, she suddenly reached out to cover her mouth, and quickly ran to the other side.

In a corner of the field, there was a sound of vomiting, and after a long time, Ling Weicheng returned to Lei Zhen again. She opened her mouth before she could speak, and when she inhaled the pungent smell that was even more pungent because of Lei Zhen's movement, Ling Weicheng reached out to cover her mouth and ran away again.

Ling Weicheng must have vomited very hard, otherwise, when she appeared in front of Lei Zhen for the third time, why did she still have a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes? Ling Weicheng barely squeezed out a smile at Lei Zhen, who was still lying in the mud, and said softly: "There are still many steamed buns, I'll give them to you to eat." ”

Before Lei Zhen could answer, he heard Ma Lan's voice, "It looks like your appetite is quite good!" ”

Slowly pacing in front of Lei Zhen, looking at the steamed buns in the basket, Ma Lan smiled and said: "Although it is difficult for a soldier to get sufficient supplies on the battlefield with a complex environment, these steamed buns are specially steamed for you by my sister-in-law, this time I will give you a special case, open it up and eat it." ”

"After eating a steamed bun with vegetables, I am already sixty percent full, and it is a waste to eat more."

Speaking of this, Lei Zhen seemed to have an understanding, he stared at Ma Lan, and said, "I don't know how long it will take you for Second Master to let me leave this ghost place, there are enough things mixed in these mud, and I definitely don't want to add to the stock in my own stomach." ”

Ma Lan said suddenly: "What is the value of seven times six plus eight minus nine plus one divided by six?" ”

Lei Zhen rolled his eyes and replied, "Seven! ”

"Not bad, not bad." Ma Lan sighed lightly: "It's not easy to soak in the mud for a few hours without soaking you up." So tell me, two hours ago, someone sent a batch of supplies to the barracks, how many people were dispatched to the barracks to carry them, how many small carts were used, how many trips were used? And according to your judgment, how long can the materials they sent in this time support the normal consumption of our entire battalion of officers and soldiers? Tell me again, what kind of method can be used to make the same amount of supplies support more than three times the time of our entire battalion of officers and men? ”

Lei Zhen's eyes widened, he was proud enough to be able to persist in not vomiting in such a foul-smelling trench, how could he have the extra energy to pay attention to the supply vehicles that regularly delivered food and vegetables to the barracks?

"Too short a time to notice?"

Ma Lan squatted in front of Lei Zhen, she supported her chin, and said, "Okay, then let's change to a simple test." You've been facing the playground in front of you for more than four hours, so you should have enough time and energy to carefully inspect every corner of the playground, right? Just as you were eating the steamed buns, I moved a few things on the field a little. Can you tell if I've shifted things out of position, or if there's something all of a sudden? ”

Lei Zhen's eyes widened again.

"Do you want to tell me that no matter how boring you are, you can't be idle enough to memorize the location of everything on the field in your head?"

Lei Zhen nodded vigorously, that's right, Ma Lan was really right.

"Then please tell me......" Ma Lan asked with a smile: "If this is really on the battlefield, you are a big living person running into such a smelly ditch, obviously still keeping a clear head, but you don't do anything, you can't remember anything, then you run to the battlefield, hide in an inhuman environment, what do you want to do?" Are you a pig, you like to soak in the mud every day, close your eyes, and dream of marrying a daughter-in-law?! ”

Lei Zhen dared to bet with anyone that Ma Lan said these things to him, when she was a recruit herself a few years ago, that German special forces instructor must have said the same thing to Ma Lan, otherwise, how could she be so spicy and sharp at her fingertips, and ask Lei Zhen speechless?

"You and Commander Xie have studied strategic command for so long, and you can also recite the full text of Sun Tzu's Art of War, you should clearly know that in Sun Tzu's Art of War's 'Military Struggle', it has been clear that an excellent commander, no matter when, no matter what occasion, will be accustomed to the surrounding terrain, climate, temperature and other factors that can affect the outcome of the war, firmly remember. Only in this way can they be in danger, because they have already subconsciously carried out a war deduction in their own brains that they don't know how many possible wars! ”

In the field of strategic command, Ma Lan really criticized Lei Zhen as useless, but Lei Zhen pricked up his ears and kept every word she said in his heart: "That's right, strategic masters are all talented geniuses, but if they deliberately accumulate and precipitate in ordinary life, and do not integrate themselves into the habit of confrontation and surname deduction at any time, when they reach the real battlefield, even if they are geniuses, it is absolutely impossible to be reborn as another person because of temporary vigilance." Because war is not only about decision-making, but also about the ability to grasp details keenly! ”

"Didn't you want to learn from me how to snipe at a distance with high accuracy, and did you ever think that the best way to deal with snipers is to use them the same? When an enemy who is good at camouflage and is proficient in sniping is about to snipe you from a few hundred meters away, if you can't judge the enemy's presence and location through small changes in the environment in time, you will become the target of the opponent's sniper! ”

After Ma Lan's words were finished, Lei Zhen completely fell into contemplation, and even Ling Weicheng made a gesture to Ma Lan and quietly left her bamboo basket away, Lei Zhen didn't pay attention.

Ma Lan squatted in front of Lei Zhen and waited quietly. According to the custom of the special forces, when recruits enlist, they invite them into such trenches and undergo a gastric lavage.

The quality of recruits who can enter the special forces through layers of selection is quite good, but in this kind of trench filled with mud and mixed with animal entrails, almost no one can resist the urge to vomit.

It can be said that such a trench is a shocking education for those recruits in the barracks, and it can also be said to be a dismount. The instructors are to use physiological means to severely attack the overly inflated self-confidence of the recruits, so that they can understand the truth that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the world.

Moreover, recruits who have undergone this kind of training have developed considerable resistance to rotting corpses and smells, and even when they enter a bloody battlefield, they can quickly adjust their state.

I don't know how long I pondered, Lei Zhen slowly opened his eyes, but in his eyes, they were still full of confusion. Judging the existence and method of the enemy through small changes in the environment is simple to say, but it is too difficult and incredible to implement. Lei Zhen must admit that he can't do this himself. Even if he knew about Ma Lan's questions to him and prepared in advance, he would not be able to smooth Ma Lan's test at all.

"Don't worry, I was just as confused as you when I faced this question raised by the instructor."

Ma Lan had already put out a set of pocket chess in front of Lei Zhen, she pointed to the chess pieces placed on the chessboard at random, and smiled: "It seems that I need to use some methods to help you strengthen your memory." ”
