Five-kilometer cross-country, 10-kilometer rapid march, 50-kilometer field training, wilderness survival training, motorized marching, seizing positions, and shooting targets with live ammunition are all called marching training.

Five-kilometer cross-country, at least once a week, sometimes as a simple physical exercise, wearing a large trouser waistcoat, traveling lightly, sometimes as an emergency assembly, fully armed, neatly dressed, and running the whole distance with a backpack.

The road outside the east gate, so we are familiar with it, the route is fixed, gather in front of the dormitory, go out of the east gate on the war preparation road, run in the direction of the airport, there is a fork in front, turn forward, go around a big circle, and return to the east gate, exactly five kilometers.

The road of war preparation turns and detours, and soon a pastoral picture appears, only here can I see that the fertile fields are vast, and the planting is also rice, or the green seedlings are boundless, or the rice waves are boundless, a country road is smooth and wide, and the two sides are tall trees, swaying in the wind, and the leaves are swaying idioms.

The hills are separated by each other, geological reasons, these hills are difficult to see trees growing, mostly barren weeds, outside the east gate of the artillery yard, rendering the depression extraordinarily, who knows that it is not everywhere, a hill apart, it turns out that there is another unique scenery, compared to the south of the Yangtze River is not excessive.

The population is not as dense as Jiangnan, the villages are scattered, there are few pedestrians and vehicles, and it is most difficult to see people and vehicles on the war-ready road.

The five-kilometer journey is not long, it is not short, their endurance is not bad, the results are stable, generally a little more than 19 points, the key is that the process is monotonous, and tired, the enthusiasm of the participants is not too high, if the weather is raining, or there are other tasks canceled, everyone will be happy.

Rural work, can carry heavy objects, can carry heavy burdens, but the explosive force is worse, there is a 100-meter test during the military academy, barely able to run within 15 seconds, to reach the passing line, as a short board, after hard work, when graduation ran into 14 seconds.

The ten-kilometer rapid march, in fact, is on the basis of five kilometers of cross-country, add an extra lap, the route is basically the same, there is not much special, the distance increases, the time becomes longer, the whole process runs down, and it feels monotonous and boring, in this case, it is easier to increase physical consumption, and some students often can't persevere, give up halfway or slip in the middle.

Criticism is inevitable, but very few are really dealt with, the strength of the physique is different, not everyone can persevere, young to be strong, many people are so tired that they collapse when they run ten kilometers, collapse halfway, and recover for a while before they can continue.

The 50-kilometer field training is the real test, not only to test physical fitness, but also to test willpower, fully armed, marching in formation, two trainee companies set off before and after, a long line, all camouflage.

When they just set off, everyone was full of energy and high spirits, the sound of trumpets and songs resounded through the mountains, between the two trainee companies, no one would weaken their momentum, and the future officers of the Republic were heroic at that moment, and they could fill a place of heaven and earth.

At this time, everyone's emotions are easily infected, a "Song of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University", it will always sound, the scene is so suitable, and the mood is so suitable, "On the shore of the Yellow River, a group of outstanding descendants of the Chinese nation are gathered. At this moment, we gathered in the artillery yard, and he rushed to consolidate and build national defense posts like his predecessors who went to the front line of resistance against Japan.

As the first military academy in the history of the army, the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University has cultivated too many outstanding military talents, and the "School Song of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" was once called the song of the military academy.

Perhaps as long as the cadets who have experienced the life of the military academy will sing this song, because it is not only a song, it contains the history of the development of the military academy of the people's army, represents the process of building a regularized and modern army, and represents the indelible spiritual inheritance.

A hundred miles away, a rapid march, leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. Along the way, through hills and ravines, fields and countryside, you will also pass through market towns and villages, streets and markets, some of them are high morale and loud military songs, and some are physically exhausted and exhausted.

It is not so easy to persevere, after the initial passion, the physical strength begins to distinguish between the good and the bad, and the individual with poor physical fitness may fall behind in the morning, get on the accompanying shelter car, rest for a while, and then continue to march with the team.

This route, I don't know when it was formed, maybe it was explored and discovered at the beginning of the school, and it has been fixed since then, because the cadres of the cadet team who led the team walked very familiarly, without a guide, and rarely took out a map, most of the time, marching in the wilderness, it was still accurate, the direction was not lost, and the road was not forked.

The map mentioned here is a military map, as long as it is a field operation, it will generally be carried, and the ordinary map may be said to be flat, but the military map is three-dimensional, and each place is marked with altitude, roads and villages, as well as various fixed references, drawn clearly.

Lunch is carried out in the wild, the class has a wild survival explanation, bring their own cooking utensils and dry food, according to the classroom teaching, choose a barren place, collect firewood to make a fire, bury the pot to make rice.

This is a picnic in the real sense, usually carried out in shifts, divided into good workers and good people, some choose a site to dig a stove, some take water to wash rice, some wash the cooking utensils, and some collect hay and dry branches as firewood.

Stealing melons and fruits from the river, such a thing is not less, at this time, it is familiar with the road, easy to come, more skilled than the classroom instructor explained.

Choosing a suitable place can save a lot of time and effort by digging a stove on the wall, and it is easier to place the cooking utensils, the front end is a mouth to put in the firewood to burn and heat, put a pot on top, and leave a gap in the back to ventilate combustion and smoke exhaust.

In the process of making a fire, some details should be paid special attention to, such as finding dry grass to ignite it first, putting dead branches on the shelf to make the fire burn vigorously, and then putting the pot after the fire is stable, and then adding firewood to burn homeopathically, which is no longer easy to extinguish.

After the fire is lit, it is cooked, some put in rice, some put in rolled dumplings, cooking is not my forte, anyway, just cook enough time, run all morning, physical strength is seriously consumed, already hungry, hungry do not choose to eat, which taste, gobble up and eat, it seems to be cooked.

This kind of method, not everyone knows, there may be few people like me in childhood, some people choose to dig a pit into a stove on the ground, some people set up a pot to regenerate the fire, often trapped in the fire, always extinguished, from time to time close to the mouth to blow to help the combustion, thick smoke bursts, choked coughing.

Undergraduates who claim to be old students, although they have experience in the field, there are many such phenomena. The fire is not burning, whether everyone has eaten cooked food, only I know.

There are scattered villages in the wilderness, often far apart before appearing, living in one place, there is no exclusive single-family like the hometown, and the stone road also appears in the village here, unlike the old hometown grinding stone chiseled and paved blocks, but broken stone splicing.

The houses are usually relatively low, some of the red bricks are the walls, and some of the loess are rammed, which may be related to the environment here.

The fields opened up in the mountains and wilderness are not as connected as the south of the Yangtze River, scattered and scattered, and the rice is also planted, it seems that the land here is barren, the growth is not very vigorous, low and slightly sparse, similar to the rural scene seen when I worked in Guangxi.

Colleges and universities also have wilderness survival courses, classroom explanations, field practice, and field practice assessment. The real meaning of survival in the wild here is military survival, through a military map, according to the orders issued, to reach the designated location within the specified time.

Although the military map is detailed, it is slow to update, for example, the military map we use seems to have been drawn before the liberation, and the roads, rivers, and man-made buildings are the easiest to change, so it is necessary to judge according to the terrain and elevation, and the judgment is wrong, delaying time, and even not finding the designated place.

A few trucks pulled us into the mountains, and I don't know if it was here for all the years of survival in the wild, or if the instructor decided on a whim, a barren mountain, with no tall trees, but tall shrubs and weeds growing densely.

Survival in the wild is generally carried out in the class as a unit, after the assembly, the instructor will send a military map, one for each class, to our hands, every time the map is marked with a small point, simply put forward some requirements, set the time, and then no longer care about us.

Although the mountain is different from the hometown, but the difference is not very big, since I was a child, I mixed the mountains, the map in hand, judged the path, determined the location, I felt that the difficulty was not very big, there was no tension of the assessment, but added a bit of novelty and excitement.

Not everyone grew up like me in the mountains, natural closeness, everyone has their own understanding, everyone has their own persistence, the map is old, there are still more changes, and there are more disputes.

The most intense one, appeared in the bushes, blocked the line of sight, the path to the end, it was difficult to judge the direction, ten people around the drawing, each expressed their own opinions, but also held their own opinions, difficult to make up their minds, time passed, at this time the natural closeness of the mountains and fields played a role, holding a red flag to show, taking the lead to a place, if the mistake is corrected, it is better than wasting words in vain, wasting time.

The map is indeed old, the terrain changes too much, and it is also a last resort, walking through the bushes, there are a few turns, and then encountering disputes, decisively relying on their own mountain experience, do not retreat, still move forward, the result is really smooth to arrive.

The red flag was planted on the hill, waving in the wind, and the students next to it immediately reported to the instructor with the walkie-talkie, and it was estimated that it was still the fastest team to complete, because after returning, it took a lot of time for other teams to return one after another.
