Bai Xinyu walked over tremblingly, Xu Chuang jumped off the rostrum, walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, and circled around him, his sharp eyes cut every inch of his skin.

Xu Chuang opened his mouth. He didn't shout at the top of his voice, but the imposing voice had been integrated into his bone marrow, "Let me tell you first, my place is different from other troops. Why is it different? First, This is a plateau, and you need to work harder to adapt to the climate here. Second, your instructors are different. In my hands, forget that you were born and raised by your mother. After graduating in two months, the soldiers I bring out must look like soldiers. Third, this is located on the frontier of the motherland. Although you are not border guards, every soldier here has the possibility of shooting real people with real guns. When you meet grandsons who dare to make trouble on our territory, you will rush to kill them one by one! When you get here, forget that you are from a peaceful age. Putting on this vest, your head can be broken and your blood can be shed, but you can’t Embarrass us military master." After Xu Chuang said this, his eyes fell on Bai Xinyu, "I don't care how you got in, you joined the army, and you will be treated equally. Today you are 5 minutes and 38 seconds late, I If I punish you, I will punish you without teaching, so I will not punish you on the first day, but tomorrow you will arrive 5 minutes and 38 seconds earlier than the stipulated time."

Bai Xinyu said tremblingly, "Oh, good."

Xu Chuang slapped him on the back, "Straighten your back and say 'yes'!"

"Yes!"

"Return to the team."

Bai Xinyu hurried to the team in his dormitory.

Xu Chuang said: "In the past few days, you are mainly studying the barracks regulations, housekeeping and formation training, but I think you recruits are very lacklustre, and you don't have the courage of a soldier. Let me run 3 kilometers first, wake up brain!"

At this time, Bai Xinyu was so hungry that he was top-heavy. When he heard that he was going to run 3 kilometers, he thought to himself that it was not too far away and he should be able to last. At that time, he had no idea about 3 kilometers.

The squad leader of their recruit squad is a young man in his early twenties, with fair skin, wearing glasses, looking very elegant and gentle, standing in a very beautiful military posture, originally standing motionless at the head of the row, when he heard Xu Chuang command, and shouted without looking sideways: "Slow down, stand at attention—"

Soldiers from one squad to another were led by the squad leader to run to the poplar forest outside the playground, while Xu Chuang and Wang Shunwei followed behind on motorcycles to supervise.

The entire camp is surrounded by poplar forests like this. It is said that it is for wind and frost protection. In this barren frontier, poplar trees, a plant with tenacious vitality, also represent a tenacious spirit.

It's a pity that after running more than 300 meters, Bai Xinyu was no longer in the mood to appreciate the straight and straight poplar, and he found that he was already wheezing and wheezing.

More than half of their soldiers were drawn from the plains. The camp is located at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, which is actually not very high. If they don’t do overloaded exercises, the young people can get used to it for a day or two at most before slowing down. He came over, but once he started exercising, Bai Xinyu immediately understood what Xu Chuang meant by "need to work harder to adapt to the climate". Although he was seriously lacking in exercise, he couldn't believe it. At his age, running less than 500 meters seemed like he was about to die. His feet began to float, and his breathing became a little difficult. Not only him, but other people also began to suffer from altitude sickness. The more they ran, the more they became panting. There was a big difference between a three-kilometer flat land and a three-kilometer plateau.

The squad leader led them to run around the poplar grove. Just after running for a kilometer, the originally decent team began to slack off, and the gap in physical fitness began to appear at this time. Some people, such as their squad leader, such as Yu Fengcheng, even He led the team without changing his face, while Bai Xinyu, Qian Liang, and a few fat brothers fell to the back of the team, moving around.

Yu Fengcheng originally ran in front, but when he turned around and saw Bai Xinyu was behind, he purposely slowed down and ran beside him, teasing, "How is it? Are you hungry?"

Bai Xinyu yelled at his eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart, he really couldn't open any pot, and now he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, even if he gave them white steamed buns without water, he could still stuff them in.

Yu Fengcheng said: "Do you think you will have breakfast when you wake up? The current training is fairly easy, and when you get on the right track, the physical training every morning is a compulsory course for you, and you can have breakfast after finishing it." He hehe With a smile, "I said earlier, you come to join the army like a bear?"

Bai Xinyu glared at him, "It's not what I wanted to come."

Qian Liang gasped and said, "Brother, why...you know the army so well."

Yu Fengcheng said: "My whole family has been in the army."

"Damn, it's so powerful... Huh... I really can't do it, how far have I run?"

"Half."

Bai Xinyu rolled his eyes, he felt that he would die if he continued running, why was he so tired.

Feng Dongyuan also slowed down and ran to them, and said with a smile: "You city soldiers are not good, you lack exercise. It's not right for you to breathe like this. You count your breaths in your heart, 1, 2, 3, hoo, yes, adjust like this Once, it will be much better."

Bai Xinyu tried it, and it was indeed a little bit better, but only a little better. When he ran about two kilometers, he couldn't do it anymore, so he lay down on the ground with a thud, "I can't... I can't run anymore..."

Feng Dongyuan wanted to pull him up, "Xinyu, get up quickly, you will be troubled by the company commander."

Bai Xinyu waved his hands again and again, "I, I really can't do it... Leave me alone... Let me sit for a while."

Yu Fengcheng was not as gentle as Feng Dongyuan, he grabbed Bai Xinyu by the collar and picked him up from the ground, "Run!"

Bai Xinyu cried and said: "Damn it, I won't run anymore! What's wrong with you? You get up early in the morning to run before dawn. Anyone who likes to run will run. I won't run anymore!"

Although his voice was not loud, dozens of people heard it and turned to look at him.

Their white squad leader ran back and glanced at Bai Xinyu, "What's going on?"

Bai Xinyu played tricks, "Squad leader, I can't run anymore, I need to rest."

The squad leader narrowed his eyes, "How do you want to rest?"

Bai Xinyu was stunned, "Sit and rest?"

"Okay, sit down."

Bai Xinyu swallowed, feeling that this aura was a bit weird.

"Sit down."

Bai Xinyu didn't care about anything, just sat down on the ground with his legs spread wide.

The squad leader sat down on his back and pressed his upper body to the ground. Bai Xinyu yelled, and suddenly felt that the tendons in his thigh were torn apart by violence, and the pain brought tears to his eyes, "Ah, it hurts—"

The squad leader pushed his glasses, and there was no expression on his fair face. He pointed forward, "Keep running, and anyone who wants to rest can sit down and do stretching."

Qian Liang's small eyes widened, and he ran away in a flash. Yu Fengcheng suppressed a smile, and turned his head to run away. Only Feng Dongyuan gave Bai Xinyu a sympathetic look, and ran forward. Bai Xinyu's screams boosted morale, and in the three shifts back and forth, no one dared to procrastinate, and they all ran vigorously.

Bai Xinyu cried: "Squad leader, squad leader, I'm running! I'm running!"

The squad leader crossed Erlang's legs and sat firmly on his back, "You'd better rest for a while, so as not to be tired."

"No, no, I'm not tired anymore, I'm running, monitor, let me go!" The monitor looked very thin, but his buttocks weighed a thousand catties when he sat down, Bai Xinyu couldn't even lift his neck, he was alone The man, whose body was already stiff, was suddenly stretched like this, and his legs immediately became painful and numb.

"Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired, not tired!"

The squad leader moved his hips away and pulled Bai Xinyu up from the ground. He patted the ashes on Bai Xinyu's trousers, adjusted his arm belt, touched Bai Xinyu's head, and said kindly: "Go Bar."

Bai Xinyu ran as soon as he could, even though his legs were still cramping with pain, he didn't dare to stop for a second. Running was tiring at best, and stretching was a fucking pain.

It was only later that Bai Xinyu found out that the squad leader was called Chen Jing, who had a very vulgar nickname, "Scholar with a cold face".

In just three kilometers, under the conditions of plateau climate and unfinished dripping rice, some recruits with poor physical fitness were tossed and broken.

When returning to the playground from the poplar grove, Bai Xinyu felt that he was being dragged back by his two legs, and he couldn't even breathe.

Xu Chuang and Wang Shunwei drove back leisurely on their small motorcycles. Xu Chuang jumped out of the car, looked at them with squinted eyes for a long time, and shouted, "Stand at attention!"

Everyone straightened up immediately.

Xu Chuang sneered and said, "Look at you guys, you're as tired as dogs after three kilometers. You kids are just used to it." He slowly took out a cucumber from his bag and snapped it in half. Son, handed half of it to Wang Shunwei, took a bite by himself, and said while chewing: "I told you in advance, after getting up in the morning and carrying a five-kilometer load, it will be your breakfast appetizer. When you don't run these five kilometers every day, you will feel uncomfortable. When you don’t have breakfast, you are considered qualified.”

Bai Xinyu wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking who would be so cheap.

"Are you all awake?"

Everyone replied weakly: "Wake up."

"Louder! Mother!"

"woke up!"

Xu Chuang nodded, and suddenly threw the remaining cucumber tail towards Bai Xinyu, "Stand up straight and give it to me!"

Bai Xinyu was originally hunched over, and his body fell straight to the ground. The small piece of cucumber just hit him. Although it didn't hurt, it gave him a shock. He quickly straightened his body, blinked his eyes, and looked at Xu Chuang.

Xu Chuang said: "This morning, I won't do other physical training. The monitors of each class will take you back to the dormitory to learn housekeeping. After eating, there is still a 3-kilometer run before dinner. After dinner, the instructor will give you Lectures, roughly like this." He looked at Wang Shunwei, "Old Wang, did I forget anything?"

Wang Shunwei said: "You are talking rough."

"It's your job to talk, it's my job to train them, that's all, you said it tonight, so that's it, I'm so hungry, let's go eat." Xu Chuang pointed to a group of recruits, "The squad leader leads the team. Go back to the dormitory." After speaking, he hooked up with Wang Shunwei and went to have breakfast.

Bai Xinyu looked at the small piece of cucumber on the ground, thinking about the white steamed buns and braised pork they discussed last night, and swallowed, feeling that the stomach acid was about to come out of his stomach. The food might be delicious.

Chen Jing chanted slogans, led them back to the dormitory, and then asked everyone in the dormitory to fight in two rows, and began to introduce themselves one by one, saying what their name was, when they were born, where was their hometown, how many members of the family, hobbies Whatever it is, you can say anything, just let the big guys understand each other.

There are more than 20 people in their class, covering almost eight or nine provinces across the country, and the most are from Beijing, Shandong, Shaanxi and Xinjiang.

Qian Liang is from Shandong. He has a simple and honest personality, but also a bit naughty. He loves to talk and laugh. When introducing himself, he said proudly that he has a girlfriend in his hometown, and he will get married when he recovers. The half-sized son in his hand was envious.

Feng Dongyuan is from Shaanxi, his family is poor, and he has no money to study in college, so he came to join the army, but he emphasized that when he makes money in the future, he still wants to go back to school, which is his ideal. When he said this, there was always a hint of determination on his face with a gentle smile.

Yu Fengcheng's ancestral home is Hebei, and he went to Shanghai with his family when he was ten years old. Although he didn't mention his home, Bai Xinyu could guess that he must have been transferred to Shanghai with his elders. His self-introduction was very short, as if He deliberately didn't want to reveal too much, but Bai Xinyu was deeply impressed by his age, this bastard was actually three years younger than himself.

Bai Xinyu couldn't help but glared at Yu Fengcheng several times. After Yu Fengcheng felt his gaze, he turned his head and looked at him with a half-smile, then suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. Bai Xinyu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The last one who introduced himself was the youngest in their class, only sixteen. He was a Uighur named Batur. His home was the closest to the camp. Bai Xinyu didn't pay attention to him before, because the boy was a bit short and always stood up. At the end, when he opened his mouth, he spoke mandarin so awkwardly that it made people laugh. Bai Xinyu followed the crowd and turned his head to look at it. As a result, the boy became shy. He lowered his head and looked at the two rows of thick and curly eyelashes flickering. Flickering, almost blinding people's eyes. Chen Jing asked him to raise his head, and he raised his head. Although it was a bit dark, his face looked like a doll, which was very beautiful, especially when he showed shyness inadvertently under the gaze of everyone, making people really want to pinch his face , he stammered that he wanted to be a soldier because he wanted to catch bad guys.

Chen Jing asked him what kind of villains he was catching, and it was the job of the police to catch bad guys.

Batur blushed and said, "There are villains who rob sheep and villains who kill people."

Chen Jing frowned, and fell silent. Although Bai Xinyu was ignorant, he had only a smattering of knowledge about the news that was reported all day long. That's shocking enough.

After everyone in a class had introduced themselves, Qian Liang coaxed, "Squad leader, you haven't introduced yourself yet."

Chen Jing pushed his glasses, "That's right, I haven't introduced you yet. My name is Chen Jing. I'm 21 this year. I'm a first-class non-commissioned officer of the artillery reconnaissance company. I'm here to train you this time. Some people may become my comrades-in-arms, or they may be assigned to other companies, and it will be difficult to see them in the future, so I hope everyone will cherish these three months and train well."

Bai Xinyu thought to himself, Chen Jing is a typical "dog that bites and doesn't bark". Seeing that he is gentle and gentle, he does things really ruthlessly, so it's better not to provoke him in the future.

Chen Jing clapped his hands, "Everyone has finished introducing themselves, and we must get along well in the future and cherish the friendship of comrades in arms. Now I will explain the internal affairs to everyone."
