Chapter 11, Recruit Training
"All assembled!" The first to appear was Karin's beautiful boy adjutant assistant Heinrich, who enlisted in the army in the third year after Karin's enlistment, and has been Karin's lieutenant ever since. Rather than an adjutant's assistant, it may be more like a bodyguard sent by the Karin family.
The blonde soldier was named Philip, and his brother was killed by the Zerg on his way back. Now it seems that he is still a little sluggish, and he has his head down and does not know what he is looking at.
Philip was followed by the big black man of Karin's team, his name was Macabaka, and everyone in the barracks called him Maca. Maca was slightly injured in the last battle, and was given a Purple Star Medal for it. Now the medal hung on his chest.
The last to arrive was Karin. The arrival of a beautiful woman can always arouse the interest of the whole team. This beauty is wearing another military uniform today, with a tawny shirt on the upper body, no rank indication on the epaulettes, trousers and leather boots on the lower body, and a black belt around the waist.
When Karin got serious, she didn't feel a little playful at all. But this gives people a greater charm. Karin began to lecture the recruits, telling them that they would need to undergo rigorous training in the coming month.
This recruit training is not the first for all those who join the military. In the process of conscription on the planet to go to the battlefield, it takes several months of interstellar flight. And there will be some basic training during the flight. Of course, this is for the Marine Corps. Mechanized troops and air forces require graduates of regular military academies, while the largest number of marine infantry can go directly to the battlefield after simple military training.
Li De also experienced some basic military training on the spaceship to the planet of Seleone, but it was all at the level of a miner, so strictly speaking, he had not experienced the training of a soldier. And after a month of continuous training, Li De felt like he was about to collapse. Recruit training is entirely Karin torturing them.
What he was best at was physical training, which he didn't have much of a problem with, and to his surprise, Karin followed the whole process, no less than their recruits. According to Karin, physical fitness is the most important thing to maintain your youth. On the contrary, the black man was a little overwhelmed when he ran with weights.
Li De's biggest problem is tactical training. Those outlandish tactical names, butterfly-like moves, made him feel dizzy. And his brain had a hard time remembering. During the simulation, he made several low-level mistakes that left the Karin squad in a difficult position. In the end, it was Karin's ability to ensure that she was not completely destroyed.
And every time she simulated an action, Karin always had to put Li De and herself in the same group, which also attracted jealousy and hatred. But in the first hand-to-hand combat class, the battle between Li De and Karin made all the recruits and veterans of Karin's squad know that this black-haired young man is not easy to mess with.
Speaking of the first hand-to-hand combat class, Karin wore a strong suit, which completely highlighted her good figure and made the recruits drool all over the place. She was standing in the middle of the training ground and asking who could come up and do a demonstration. The male soldiers jumped out desperately. Karin looked at the male soldier who was considered the strongest of the recruits, motioned for him to come on, and then pointed at Lide with her pretty finger. In this way, Li De showed his skills for the first time in front of the recruits and Karin.
On the planet Arkansas, the one-armed old man taught Li De that if you want to win against those gangsters who are older than him, you must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. At the same time, he also taught him a lot of fighting skills, and at the age of 10, Li De used his fists to knock out a piece of his own territory on the side of the garbage dump.
Standing on this vicious-looking recruit, Li De also knew the depression in his opponent's heart. I thought I could get in close contact with a beautiful instructor, but I faced such a kid. The recruit was 1.95 meters tall, with muscles throbbing, bruises on his forehead exposed, and a spitting breath from his nose. Li De is now less than 1.8 meters tall, and in his eyes, he looks like a sandbag that has been beaten.
The big recruit roared, rushed forward, and directly struck Li De in the face with a right hook. Seeing that the whirring fist wind was about to touch the front door, Li De's right foot suddenly stretched out to the left front, and as soon as his body turned, he got into the arms of the big man and dodged the punch. Before the big man could react, Li De's left elbow struck upwards and hit him in the chin.
A blow to the jaw can cause a concussion of the cerebellum and cause a temporary loss of balance. The big man's feet went limp, and he fell forward with the force. Li De's shoulders sank down, and he exerted another force, and the big man flipped over on Li De's shoulder, and fell face up to the ground, just between Li De's legs. Li De then bent his legs, his knees against the waist of the big man, his back to the big man, raised his right hand, and hit the big man's lower body hard. In the end, he deliberately missed that position and hit the base of his thigh. The big man also felt that his left leg was numb and unconscious.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched the fight end in an instant. All the male soldiers only felt that they were numb between their legs, and if Li De hadn't deliberately missed just now, the big man would probably have to change the gender of his profile. Karin squinted her eyes and smiled at Li De with an appreciative expression.
Of course, there were also unexpected discoveries during the training, such as Li De's discovery that the tactical sign language in the army was actually the same as that taught to him by the one-armed old man on Planet Arkansas. Thinking back to that time in the interrogation room, when he talked about the old man, Allen and the general on the other end of the intercom were silent for more than ten minutes. I wonder if I was talking too much at the beginning.
In short, after a month of training, Li De has slowly evolved from a miner to a more qualified marine.
On the morning of the last day of the month, Li De woke up early, jogged around the camp, took a shower, and then went to the cafeteria for breakfast. Today's breakfast seemed better than usual, porridge made of artificial protein and some bread, spread with margarine and soybean paste. This is Leede's favorite food. Compared to the days when there was no meal in the garbage heap, every meal is a big meal now.
"You're here so late?" The blonde-haired Philip of Karin's team was still as indifferent to Li De as ever.
Li De glanced at this boy who was about the same age as himself, and did not say anything.
"There is a special arrangement today, I hope you don't drop the chain." Philip said again. He put down his breakfast, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and sat on the side but did not leave. The big black man on the side also quickly finished eating the food in his hand, so he greeted Li De, as if he wanted to say something, but Philip glanced at him and sat aside without saying anything.
Li De felt a little strange, thinking that maybe this Philip didn't know what was wrong today? But I didn't think much about it, so I ate it on my own.
Just as he was about to finish eating, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. When I looked up, sure enough, the people of Karin's team were all sitting there and had already finished eating, and had not left, as if they were waiting for something to happen. The recruits were all eating, and some had just begun to eat.
Li De secretly cursed in his heart, and the door of the canteen was pushed open.
What Karin wore today can be described as hot. She wore a vest on her upper body, revealing a seductive furrow on her chest, and a field uniform on the outside, but she didn't button it, but tied the lower corner of her clothes in a knot at the waist, but it highlighted her waist and vigorous lower abdomen. Wearing military shorts, dark green knee pads, and a pair of brown military boots on his feet.
"It seems that everyone is in a good mood. The last day of training will also be easier. Karin walked in, ignoring the ice cream recruits with their eyes. The first is a 30-kilometer weight-bearing off-road, go to the door and pick up the equipment with your name written on it, with destination information on it, and meet at 11 noon. Penalty for being late. Hearing the word punishment, everyone shuddered. Immediately put down breakfast and ran to the door.
Generally, 30 kilometers of weight-bearing off-road can be completed in more than three hours. But this time, Karin set her destination on a hill near a base. There was no way to walk, so I had to cross a meadow and climb the last few kilometers of the mountain road. There was also a time constraint, and the recruits almost grabbed their equipment and ran out.
Li De took a cursory look at the equipment, including three days' rations, a semi-automatic rifle, a side-carrying pistol, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, daily necessities in the cold area, two jugs of water, and a 3-liter water bag. The total counterweight is about 30 kg. Seeing that Karin had already carried a large bag of things on her back, she also set off with the female demon.
After running a few kilometers, Li De finally found the trap of breakfast. As a result of the vigorous exercise he had just finished breakfast, Li De's stomach was tumbling now, and the soybean paste and those artificial proteins seemed to be pouring up. The recruits fell to the ground and threw up their breakfast. When I stood up again, my feet were weak, and I still had the strength to run the rest of the distance.
Li De was also recruited. Spit out the breakfast in his stomach, looked at Karin with a relaxed face on the side, gritted his teeth and continued to run.
"It's a lot easier than the one we used to do, isn't it?" Karin said.
Li De knew that she was talking about the breakthrough time, and they ran for more than ten kilometers under the chase of bugs. It's basically nine deaths.
"But I didn't have that much equipment that time." Li De sighed, as if a long time had passed since the events of a month ago.
"You still won't tell me where you learned that kind of fighting technique?" Karin had been asking about this topic for a long time.
"Didn't I say it, I picked up a book in the garbage heap when I was a child, and I followed the book to school." Li De is now very careful and is reluctant to reveal more information about the one-armed old man.
"Don't deceive, it seems that you are still full of mystery!"
"You too, Karin Kent."
"So what? I'm from General Kent's family, which doesn't mean much. ”
The two of them communicated as they ran. Members of Karin's team stayed with them. The recruits have been left far behind by them.
After running for an hour, the hunger caused by spitting out breakfast began to hit, and Li De really hated this special training of the female devil beside him. He took a compressed biscuit out of his bag and nibbled on it. Watch Karin keep her breathing at a constant speed after ten kilometers of running.
Walk through the meadows and usher in the mountain path. Members of Karin's squad were already scattered along the passing path, taking care of the recruits. Li De felt that this was his worst trail run, because the shoes did not fit properly (usually when trail running, there are more soft insoles in the shoes, and the sudden attack of the long-distance run in the morning left all the recruits unprepared), and the blisters on his feet slowed down the frequency of his legs. Seeing that Karin had run a hundred meters ahead, he shook his head helplessly.
In the end, Li De was the first to reach the top of the mountain. The rest of the recruits also arrived one after another. Surprisingly, the second recruit to arrive turned out to be a female soldier, and she was not very tall, and she looked cold.
At noon, everyone was finally assembled. Karin and the recruits had lunch at the top of the mountain.
After lunch, it's time to walk back again. The way back seems to be longer than it was when you came. Li De had already picked the blisters on his feet, but it was still painful to walk. On the way back, Karin trotted all the way and formed a formation. At the same time, Karin also added several encounters that simulated enemy attacks, and she had to carry items such as simulated being attacked and charging positions, which made everyone cry bitter.
It was not until evening that the team returned to the base. Karin's boot camp is notoriously devilish training. The guards on duty also looked sympathetically at the group and returned to the barracks.
In the end, Li De and the second female soldier to arrive were chosen by Karin to become new members of Karin's team. The female soldier's name was: Leona.
