Jie Zhenguo shouted loudly: "The endurance assessment is to test your willpower and tenacious fighting spirit. The cross-country distance is 20 kilometers round trip, and it takes two hours to reach the barracks. Six instructors stepped on their horses to lead the way, and the soldiers scrambled to run outside.

Calm returned to the playground, and Hao Bisheng said in surprise: "Commander, isn't it three hours, how did it become two hours?" Jie Zhenguo smiled: "I did it on purpose, just to put pressure on them." Of course, if you arrive within three hours, you are still qualified. Hao Bisheng said: "Commander, what if some soldiers see that there is no hope and take the initiative to give up?" ”

Jie Zhenguo said with a smile: "No, for the sake of 50 quick silver dollars, they won't give up, let's go into the house and wait!" "Commander, you are really cunning enough, I'm really worried that there won't be enough people to be selected?" "According to the actual situation, we have a grasp of the scale at any time, and the purpose of selection is also to test the training limit, which will serve as a warning for us in the future selection of special forces and the formulation of training jihua, which is killing two birds with one stone. In fact, these soldiers are very good, and it is indeed a little distressing to let them get out. But the selection of special forces must be the best of the best, and I must be ruthless. ”

After the team ran 5 kilometers, it gradually widened the distance. Usually the cross-country training of the troops is 5 kilometers, and this distance has no problem for these excellent soldiers who are selected. But after 5 kilometers, the line began to lengthen. Sanxi watched Li Tie and Ma Kai running in front of them and gradually disappeared, and he was in a hurry. Sanxi gritted his teeth and silently recited 50 silver dollars in his heart. Desperately running forward.

Sanxi is from the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong, and his family has several acres of mountainous land. His parents gave birth to five brothers, and he was in the middle, with two older brothers on top. There are two younger brothers below. Although the conditions are good now that they can eat a full stomach, a few acres of mountainous land still make it difficult for the family to get by. I heard that the Wehrmacht paid a military salary, one silver dollar a month, and Sanxi signed up to be a soldier last year. Sanxi is very frugal and sends the rest of the money home every month.

At the beginning of the year, a letter came from the family, saying that the boss had set a family affair, but the woman asked for a bride price of 40 silver dollars. Although the letter from the parents did not say anything. There is obviously a suspicion that he will think of a way. Yesterday, the commander of the army said that he could become a special soldier, and his monthly salary was 50 silver dollars. Obediently 50 silver dollars, for Sanxi is simply astronomical. Therefore, he decided to fight hard to win the selection. With this kind of thought, Sanxi's body was full of liliang.

After the switchback run, Li Tie and Ma Kai were already running ahead. Neither of them was convinced, and they ran forward with their heads bored. Zuihou 200 meters 2 people start the sprint. Almost up and down crossed the heavy finish line. Hao Bisheng hurriedly recorded the results of the two on the blackboard - 1 hour and 48 minutes. "The two of you are tied for first place. Tell me your name? Hao Bisheng shouted, and the two bent over and gasped, and immediately raised their heads when they heard the call.

"Report to the instructor, the subordinate is Second Lieutenant Li Tie!" "Report to the instructor, the subordinate is Second Lieutenant Ma Kai!" Hao Bisheng quickly wrote down the names of the two. Sanxi collapsed to the ground at the finish line, and his time was 2 hours 45 minutes, placing 910th. Seeing Sanxi kneeling on the ground, Li Tiedao: "Brother, this is cruel competition." No one will sympathize with you. Ma Kai helped Sanxi up and said, "Brother, don't be discouraged, I read the report card." The 200th place has been more than 2 hours, there must be something wrong here? "Really?" A look of surprise and anticipation appeared on Sanxi's face.

The wait is long, and when everyone runs back, Jie Zhenguo announced that anyone who runs back within three hours will be qualified, and those who do not meet the requirements will leave! Many disheartened soldiers couldn't help but cheer when they heard the news, and Sanxi cried with joy. According to statistics, 1,155 people ran within 3 hours of the endurance assessment, and those who did not meet the specified requirements were naturally eliminated.

After listening to Hao Bisheng's report, Jie Zhenguo said: "I didn't expect so many people to pass the endurance test, they are indeed excellent soldiers in various units." We have more leeway in the selection below. Tomorrow there will be a military skills test, so go and prepare! The next day, there were bursts of gunfire on the playground, and the assessment items were: 100-meter fixed target and 60-meter mobile target. Fixed target standing, kneeling, lying in three positions, each posture 10 bullets a total of 30 bullets, a total of 20 rings passed. The moving target is 10 bullets, the impact point can be hit on the target, and 5 shots are passed.

In the shooting assessment, Li Tie and Ma Kai naturally began to compete again, the fixed target Li Tie played 29 rings, Ma Kai played 28 rings, and Li Tie won with one ring. Li Tie immediately got carried away when he heard the news, but he didn't be happy for long, the moving target Ma Kai hit all 10 bullets, Li Tie hit 9 bullets, Ma Kai won with one shot, and the total score of the two was a tie. The fixed target of Sanxi is 21 rings, and the moving target is 5 shots and barely passes.

The military skills assessment was not completed until the afternoon, and a total of 985 people reached the standard, and Ma Kai and Li Tie, who tied for first place, once again attracted the attention of Jie Zhenguo. Subsequently, a number of items such as a 10-day wilderness survival assessment were carried out, and fewer and fewer people were eliminated. On this day, Hao Bisheng reported: "Commander, after more than 20 days of comprehensive selection, the current number of personnel is 850, and it seems that we must carry out the final selection. ”

Jie Zhenguo sighed and said: "I didn't expect so many people to pass the assessment in advance. Frankly, I feel sorry for who to eliminate now, but the quota is limited, we have to brutally eliminate them, and then we have to have the ultimate selection. Hao Bisheng and several other instructors were silent, they knew in their hearts how these excellent soldiers had come over for dozens of days, and the ultimate selection of zuihou was unbearable.

The next day on the playground, Jie Zhenguo once again stood on the platform. Facing all the soldiers, he said loudly: "The people standing in front of me today are the best soldiers, first of all, congratulations to you." You have bravely passed the most severe examinations, which is a testament to your abilities. But we can only keep half of you, what should we do? The only way is the ultimate selection - a duel. The rule is to draw lots, two people fight in a group, the first to fall to the ground is the loser, the winner stays, and the loser leaves! Today everyone has a day off, and tomorrow the final selection begins. ”

In the barracks, Li Tie continued to say arrogantly: "The surname is Ma, if the two of us collide together, I will definitely be able to defeat you!" Ma Kai shook his head and said, "I don't want the two of us to collide together!" "Why are you scared?" "I wish we both stayed here!" In the instructor's office, Hao Bisheng said: "Commander, the remaining soldiers are 850 now, even if there are 25 more after the final selection. The peak regulation is 400 people, what should I do if there is an excess? Jie Zhenguo said: "I will xiangshang wind request an increase of 25 personnel to prepare for the later devil training, I think it will be half there, you don't have to worry!" ”

The next day, the lottery was drawn, and Li Tie and Ma Kai unexpectedly bumped into each other. At the beginning of the game, Li Tie was extremely excited, and the leopard's eyes widened angrily. Ma Kai's expression was calm and cold-eyed. Li Tie roared and pounced fiercely, Ma Kai's figure dodged in a flash, and the two were entangled together. At this time, the roar on the playground shook the sky, and everyone used their whole body to solve the problem, and fought fiercely. Some fights are over after a few moves, and the winner is happy, and the loser is depressed, forming a stark contrast.

Sanxi's opponent is a big man, half a head taller than him. After a few rounds of fighting between the two, Sanxi was hit hard in the face by the other party, and suddenly Venus appeared in front of him. The other party took advantage of the situation and continued to fly his feet and kicked Sanxi's abdomen. However, Sanxi has a very strong ability to resist blows, and he stumbled and did not fall to the ground after consecutive heavy blows. The other party did not give up, and struck while the iron was hot and tried to throw Sanxi to the ground.

At this time, Sanxi seemed to wake up, just when the other party was close, Sanxi raised his right leg sideways and pressed his knee against the other party's liver area, the other party hurriedly protected the liver area with his hand, and suddenly the face department was wide open, Sanxi took advantage of the situation to rotate 360 degrees, and his right foot flew up and carried it on the other party's face. This foot was strong and heavy, the other party was lying on the ground with his back facing the sky, and Sanxi knelt on the ground with his hands covering his abdomen.

On the playground, almost everyone has already decided the winner, and Li Tie and Ma Kai are still fighting, and the two are equal and equal. Both of them have blue noses and swollen faces, and their facial features are hideous, but their moves are still strong and powerful, and their moves are deadly. Jie Zhenguo looked at the figure of the two fighting and said, "Hao Bisheng!" "Here, please command?" "Let the two of them stop!" "Yes!" Hao Bisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ran to the playground.

"You two don't fight, stop me. Special approval from the troop commander, both of you have been admitted! The surrounding soldiers let out cheers. Ma Kai stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, Li Tie hesitated and stretched out his hand, and the hands of both sides shook together. Ma Kaidao: "To formally introduce me, I am the 6th phase of the Shanghai Military Academy, and I joined the central cluster at the end of last year. Li Tiedao: "I am the 5th phase of the Guangdong Military Academy, and I joined the Eastern Front Army at the beginning of last year!" After saying that, the two hugged each other.

In the Presidential Palace, Deng Zixuan listened to Chen Jintang's report: "I can see that you are very distressed!" "Can you not feel distressed, originally they were all excellent soldiers selected by various troops, and after careful selection, Zuihou faced the cruel ultimate assessment, and I couldn't bear it when I heard it." Deng Zixuan pondered for a moment and said decisively: "I think so, Zuihou will finally select the eliminated soldiers, hand them over to Fan Tao, and take the opportunity to form a marine." ”

Chen Jintang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, I'll inform Fan Tao immediately." (To be continued......)
