Chapter 40 Punishment
Not long after, Zhang Yan came back.
Everyone noticed that his grenade bag was already filled with four grenades.
He ran to Dedhan with his head still lowered: "Report the platoon leader, the grenade... has been picked up..."
The sound was very small, almost covered by the sound of rain.
Daedhan stared at him and suddenly broke out, shouting at him: "Do you know what equipment is?! On the battlefield, you have to rely on equipment to fight against the enemy!"
Zhang Yan's head was even lower.
"Rise your head!" said Dedehan, "Accompany!"
He put his hand behind him and said to Yin Xiancong: "Take them out for another five kilometers! Don't rest me at night, double the physical training!"
...
The cold rain hit the face, just like the hearts of all the recruits in the second row, it was so cold.
Ten minutes ago, everyone was still excited about the rewards they were about to receive at night, but now, they not only have to endure double the physical training, but also the shame of fraud!
No one in the team spoke, they were all running down. This time, the specified time was 23 minutes. If the required time could not be met, then the face would be another five-kilometer off-road.
The team ran silently in the rain.
The silent atmosphere remained for a long time before suddenly I heard someone curse: "Damn it!"
Who scolded? I don't know.
Who are you scolding? I don’t know.
A Dai did not follow the team, but waited at the finish line.
The recruits were both nervous and depressed, with raindrops getting bigger and bigger, and a kind of resentment filled the implicated team.
Although everyone has worked very hard, although Zhuang Yan has not run slowly, and Xu Xingguo has been trying his best to help Guo Xiangyang, who usually runs the slowest, since the previous competition has exhausted his energy, the overall results have not met the requirements when he reaches the finish line.
The last one is Zhang Yan.
"Prepare the whole line, and after ten minutes of rest, run again. This time the time requirement is 23 minutes and 30 seconds. If you can't achieve the goal, continue running!"
The rain dripped down the brim of Dadehan's hat, his face was cold and his tone was even colder.
Ten minutes later, the team once again advanced on the yellow dick road that had run twice.
This is the third five-kilometer off-road trip.
Zhuangyan is on the verge of collapse.
Almost everyone is.
The sound of heavy and rapid breathing around was clearly heard, and everyone's face was rain or sweat, mixed together, and it was no longer clear.
The weather forecast is only 8 degrees today, and the cold wind blew on the face and felt a pain.
Not far away, on the balcony of a three-story high house, a little boy about four or five years old was staring at the recruits running through the road downstairs.
After watching for a while, he turned his head and shouted at his home: "Mom, Mom! It rained so heavily and there were still people running..."
Zhuangyan felt a sense of depression and injustice mixed with some sadness and instantly surged into her heart, and the corners of her eyes immediately turned red.
He had never suffered such hardship.
He felt that he really didn't need to come here and endure such hardship.
Why come?
Suddenly, someone in the team pinched his nose and asked loudly: "Do you smell it?? Everything smells so smelly?! Why is it so smelly!?"
"Yes! I smelled it too!"
"So smelly!"
In the cold air, Zhuangyan also smelled the stench.
It is a kind of stench similar to the toilet, which drills straight into the nostrils.
Everyone forgot the fear and fatigue of being punished for a while. After saying something, I began to discuss the source of the odor.
"Woo woo woo woo--"
Zhang Yan in the team finally burst into tears.
Xu Xingguohe, who had been pulling him forward, covered his nose.
Someone said: "Zhang Yan has diarrhea..."
This time, the time still did not meet the requirements.
When I returned to the starting point, the time was already 25 minutes and 32 seconds, which was 2 minutes slower than the last time.
The rain became heavier and the wind was getting stronger.
Platoon Commander A Dai was no longer at the starting point. It is said that he went to the battalion headquarters to review the battalion commander, and only three squad leaders were still there.
All the recruits could no longer hold on, they were cold, tired and hungry, and the other ranks had already finished their supper, and now they were sitting in the rank room to hold a class meeting or read books and newspapers.
"Resting for ten minutes and running again, this time is 26 minutes! If you don't reach the time, you will continue to do it once!"
Niu Dali took off his camouflage hat and walked around in front of the team, covering the stopwatch with the camouflage hat, adjusting the time.
When everyone heard the squad leader announce that the time had not met the requirements, a kind of despair appeared in their eyes.
"I won't run away! I'm so exhausted!"
Zhuangyan threw her backpack to the ground and sat on her backpack.
"Fuck you!"
The physical overdrawing and the depression in my heart have made Zhuang Yan sacrifice.
He thought.
The solemn words came to everyone's hearts, and then the situation suddenly became chaotic, and almost all the recruits responded to his actions.
"I can't run anymore, squad leader."
"I'm so tired, let's take a break..."
Everyone started throwing backpacks and equipment...
Chen Qingming, the sixth squad leader who had been silent all the time, split his mouth and said with a smile: "Since you can't run, then don't force it. I want to know that you will definitely not run..."
Speaking of this, he paused.
When all the recruits heard this, their hearts suddenly lit up and saw hope that they could be exempted from punishment.
But soon, the flame of hope that had just risen was ruthlessly extinguished by heavy rain.
The smile on Chen Qingming's face quickly solidified, and he issued an order loudly: "All orders follow the commands and recite your equipment."
Everyone subconsciously picked up the equipment and carried it on their back.
Chen Qingming shouted again: "Look down!"
Although the command was not understood yet, the recruits still fell to the ground mechanically.
"The target, crawl forward in a low position at five hundred meters in front!"
The recruits lying on the ground were stunned for a moment.
Chen Qingming roared: "Crawl for me!"
The whole row began to move slowly on the ground.
The rain was getting heavier, and there were puddles everywhere on the yellow mud floor. The raindrops hit the surface, and the splashed water hit the solemn face.
Everyone crawled silently, with yellow and orange mud droplets on their eyebrows and eyelashes.
Zhuangyan felt that she started to feel cold. After climbing through some puddles, she obviously felt cold water seeping into her originally warm crotch, which was so cold that it was very uncomfortable.
After climbing for 500 meters, Chen Qingming ordered: "Stand up! Turn back! Lying down! Five hundred meters ahead of the target, crawl forward in a low position!"
Once again, the recruits crawled back along the way they crawled over.
Despite wearing thick winter training uniforms, there were still a burst of biting pain on the elbows and knees.
Everyone's psychology is quite complicated, humiliation, anger, panic, nervousness, fatigue, despair, and all kinds of moods mixed with the yellow mud and water seeps into the hearts of the new recruits.
"Squad leader! If you want to punish me, just punish me! It's all my fault! I'm afraid of delaying the entire ranking, so I lost the grenade! It was because I was uncomfortable today, so I poured out the water from the kettle to easily..."
Finally unable to bear the psychological torture, Zhang Yan stood up suddenly among the group of new recruits crawling forward.
Everyone stopped, and time seemed to be paused.
After a long time, Zhuang Yan also stood up: "Squad leader, I am not convinced this time! It's not our fault! Why should we punish us!?"
The recruits were startled.
Zhuangyan has always been the most intimate soldier in the platoon and the new recruit who dares to bargain with the squad leader the most.
Everyone knows that disobeying orders is no joke.
This is the army.
Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty!
Seriously lying on the ground, he stretched out his hand to pull his solemn trouser legs.
Chapter completed!
