It stands to reason that the training of the troops should be gradual, but Xu Chuangzhen has thoroughly implemented the "different" he said at the beginning. After finishing the basic training within half a month, he began to carry out physical fitness events, and daily cross-country running. From three kilometers in the morning, it increased to five kilometers, and then gradually increased to an additional five kilometers before dinner. It is said that after one month, it will be increased to three meals a day for five kilometers, and it is necessary to carry weights.
The level of training that Bai Xinyu had finally adapted to had improved so much that he couldn't keep up. Among the people who were punished for falling behind in cross-country, he was there every time, and the methods of punishment were also various, push-ups, squats, leapfrogs, stretching, everything can torture people to death, Bai Xinyu was so tired that he cried every day. I began to feel that my life was not long.
He wasn't the only one who couldn't keep up with the progress. Many recruits began to secretly complain that they were so tired every day that they could fall asleep in bed. At this time, the gap between good soldiers and bad soldiers began to widen significantly. Although Bai Xinyu was dissatisfied with Yu Fengcheng in various ways, Yu Fengcheng's performance was among the best among the recruits this year. He belonged to the kind of soldier that Xu Chuang, a manic patient, liked so much that he would occasionally laugh at him. Apparently they were the kind who were caught making mistakes and were severely punished. Men want face, they are scolded and punished all day long, and Bai Xinyu also feels that he can't hold his face, but his mentality of passing by has not changed, and he always feels that training is for dealing with his superiors, not for himself, so the training results are getting better and better. It got worse and worse, a vicious circle that made his every day miserable.
That night, Bai Xinyu was in a deep sleep on the bed when he was suddenly awakened by a harsh whistle.
Chen Jing jumped up from the bed and shouted, "Assemble urgently! Get up, assemble urgently!"
There was a wailing sound in the dormitory, accompanied by the sound of plopping clothes.
The nights in Xinjiang are very, very cold. One can imagine the pain of dragging people out of the warm quilt to practice in a deep sleep, and it takes five minutes to gather.
Bai Xinyu was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, hugged the quilt and howled, "Damn—"
Yu Fengcheng grabbed his quilt and pulled him up from the bed, "If you dare to be late, the company commander will kill you."
Bai Xinyu got goosebumps when he heard the word "company commander". He put on his clothes and shoes quickly, and finally rushed downstairs with a large number of recruits.
Xu Chuang was wearing a military overcoat, looked at them with a sneer, and said twice, "Look down at yourself and the people next to you, are you wearing the wrong pants?"
Most of the people looked very embarrassed, some didn't have time to put on socks, some belts were tied wrongly, some buttons were not buttoned properly, and there were two snickers in the line.
Xu Chuang snorted coldly, "Laughing?"
Suddenly there was no sound.
"The first emergency assembly, the result disappointed me." Xu Chuang pointed at them, "Look at the way you guys are still awake. If the sound of the enemy's shells was not the military whistle just now, don't say it. Rise up and resist, how many of you can run out of the building? I have said long ago that in my hands, don't treat yourself as a recruit, but as a soldier! However, you bears are far from qualified fighters It’s still far away.” He looked at his watch, “Five kilometers cross-country, with a time limit of 30 minutes, if the task is not completed, re-run, on a class basis, if more than a quarter of the time is not completed, the whole class will re-run.”
The whole company was silent.
Xu Chuang shouted, "Run!"
The squad leader of class one took the lead in shouting slogans, and led the team to run into the poplar forest. The other classes followed one by one, enduring hunger, cold and hardship, and ran desperately.
Xu Chuang has always said one thing, no one wants to be tortured again, so they all insist on it.
Big Bear shouted: "Squad leader, it's too cold."
Chen Jing shouted: "It won't be cold after running for a while."
"Squad leader, let's sing."
"Okay, you start."
Big Bear thought for a while, then roared loudly: "The wind is roaring, the horses are roaring, the Yellow River is roaring—"
"Hahahaha—" Everyone laughed loudly.
Da Xiong said angrily, "What a joke, you have to sing this to refresh your mind!" He started up again, "Get ready, sing!"
In the dark and quiet poplar grove, suddenly came the astonishing Yellow River chorus. The song was not sung, but roared. It had no key, no timbre, and only the heroic spirit erupted from the bodies of these young people. The whole forest trembled.
After Bai Xinyu yelled twice, he really felt his head cleared up a lot, but after running for three kilometers, he couldn't keep up. Thinking of falling behind and having to run again, he really tried his best to move forward. But gradually fell behind the team.
Chen Jing slowed down, ran to the back of the team, and shouted: "When you see comrades who are lagging behind, help them out and try to get the whole class to pass."
There are only 20 people in each class, and a quarter of them is five people. Judging from the current situation, there are definitely more than five people who will not be able to return within 30 minutes. Among the people who are obviously left behind now are Bai Xinyu, Qian Liang and several others.
Feng Dongyuan ran over and comforted him: "Keep breathing at a constant speed, don't be nervous, I've calculated, we usually run for more than 30 minutes, speed up, no problem."
Qian Liang was out of breath, "Dong, Dong Yuan, look...you are thinner than me, how can you run like that."
Feng Dongyuan smiled and said, "I practiced long-distance running in school."
Bai Xinyu rolled his eyes as he ran. He felt that he would be the slowest to get back to the playground, and the price of going back the slowest was to run another 5 kilometers. Xu Chuang wanted to play them to death!
Feng Dongyuan tugged at Bai Xinyu's arm, "Xinyu, hold on, or the company commander will really let you run again."
Bai Xinyu was out of breath, "I... 30 minutes... I can't do it." Every time he ran five kilometers, he was dying, and he was always the last one in the whole class or even the whole company. Just let him do some push-ups. Although it is quite tiring, it is not at the same level as the five kilometers. He really wants to beat Xu Chuang to death.
Chen Jing said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it. It doesn't matter if you can't finish the run, and it may drag the whole team to follow you to run again." He took Bai Xinyu's arm, "Bai Xinyu, you have been a soldier for a month anyway. A little bone."
Bai Xinyu shook his head, sweat dripping onto Chen Jing's face, "Squad leader, I'm really not good, half an hour... I really can't finish running, or you knock me out, Xu Chuang can let me go gone."
Chen Jing sternly said: "Nonsense, you are pretending to be dead on the battlefield. Is this what soldiers should do?"
Bai Xinyu gasped: "My mother... If I run another five kilometers, I will be dead... Return to the military..."
Chen Jing slapped him hard on the head, "Bai Xinyu, regarding your attitude, I'll have a good talk with you when I get back. If you die now, you have to run to the end. As long as you work hard, you won't be able to finish it within 30 minutes." , I will run the five kilometers instead of you! If you want to give up now, I will look down on you for the rest of my life!"
Yu Fengcheng also ran to his side at some point and looked at him silently.
Bai Xinyu gritted his teeth, as if his heart was caught by something, he struggled between running and not running, if he really fell to the ground and pretended to be dead now, he would be able to escape, but...
I despise you all my life!
That sentence hit him hard like a big bell, plucking a certain string called self-esteem in his body, he wanted to throw himself on the ground, but he still couldn't help himself.
Feng Dongyuan pushed him, "Xin Yu, run, you can't die, maybe you can finish the run in 30 minutes!"
Chen Jingdao: "Dongyuan, go and help Qian Liang. If you are in good physical condition, help each other and don't fall behind. If more than 5 people fall behind, that's the responsibility of our whole class."
Feng Dongyuan nodded, went up and grabbed Qian Liang's arm, and dragged him forward, while others rushed over to help those who were left behind. Originally, if there was no time limit, after a month of exercise, they could run the whole distance vertically, but after adding the 30-minute limit, they had to increase their speed, and their physical exertion doubled. The whole class began to support each other to move forward Run, the passage of time hangs like a machete around their necks.
Bai Xinyu gritted his teeth and ran forward, his whole body was like taking a bath, sweat was pouring down. Yu Fengcheng made a detour to the other side, held his arms, and said in a low voice: "Don't drag the whole class down, get up and run."
Bai Xinyu unconsciously spread his weight on Yu Fengcheng's body. In fact, he wanted to hang on Yu Fengcheng's body directly. He could hear Yu Fengcheng's panting, but he was very restrained. Being dragged by him like this, his physical exertion would definitely increase , but Yu Fengcheng's breathing was not disordered, the arm holding him was so strong that he couldn't stop even if he wanted to, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the sweat beads hanging on Yu Fengcheng's knife-like chin, like a small river The same flows down the neck into the clothes, the same long-distance running, he is like a dying fish, but Yu Fengcheng can be so calm.
They are all young men with no lack of arms or legs. Is the gap between them really that big? He doesn't want to drag the whole squad to run with him again, and he doesn't want anyone to run instead of him. He just wants to be an ordinary, well-behaved soldier, like everyone else, to complete tasks normally without being punished. It's such a simple wish , can't he do it? He, Bai Xinyu... is he really that bad
After coming to the army, without the blessing of money, he suddenly became a fart. The grades are always the worst, and the punishments are always the most. No one will honor him as "Master Bai", and no one will flatter him. Few people are even willing to approach him, and few people think highly of him. Yu Fengcheng even scolded him directly. He is "a wimp", he originally thought that he could not care, he could continue to use the method of dealing with his parents, turning a blind eye to all these, as long as he lived a comfortable life, but he found that he could not do it more and more, When he saw that the recruits who were six years younger than him were better than him in everything, he felt uncomfortable and ashamed. He has no lofty ideals of defending his family and the country, nor does he have any desire to be competitive. He just wants to be an ordinary soldier who does not fall behind!
The lights of the playground shone like sparks in the distance ahead. Bai Xinyu didn't know how far he had run, nor how much time was left. He just moved his steps desperately and moved towards that spot of light.
He doesn't want to be looked down upon...
