Chapter 176: Intensive Training (3)
A week passed, and almost all the cadres and soldiers, including Xiang Yi, were exhausted, and they were completely supported by their perseverance. During this week, I tried my best to hit their morale, using the most harshest training and the most mean words, and using all means to hit their morale, because I want to know what kind of miracles can happen when a group of soldiers with iron will endure great tests both physically and mentally.
Zhong Jie responded strongly with her actions. I became less and less confident in my original judgment. She showed everything an excellent soldier should show. Although there was still a certain gap in his grades, anyone had reason to believe that she could successfully stay in the big assessment held about three weeks later...
In the evening of that day, after a rumble of spring thunder, a little drizzle fell from the sky. I stood in front of the window and looked out the hazy window, but my eyes passed all the obstacles in front of me, as if they had penetrated time and space. The smoke on my fingers was burning freely. I was completely immersed in my memories. The bits and pieces of the past few years seemed to be the silent drizzle outside the window, quietly emerging in front of me. Zhong Jie, maybe I can never see through it. From the first time I met everything later, the more I learned, the more I became confused...
Before I knew it, the rain gradually became heavier. The bean-sized raindrops hit the window glass, like a music with a strong rhythm. There was a vast white piece outside the window, and the raindrops hit the ground, instantly split into countless pieces. The shadows of the tree were swaying gently, as if we were welcoming this spring night rain. I extinguished the smoke in my hand, and the tired eyes of the officers and soldiers appeared in front of me. I hesitated for a moment, but I soon gritted my teeth, picked up the whistle on the table, and rushed out of the dormitory.
"Zhai, Zhai, Zhai..."
A rapid and urgent gathering whistle sounded, and I stood in the heavy rain with a cold expression. The clothes on my body became wet in an instant. They were tightly pressed against me, and the rain kept flowing down my face. I ignored the water on my face, just raised my hand and looked at my watch, silently remembering the time now.
The soldiers were aware of it. This sudden emergency gathering did not make them busy. They quickly and orderly sorted their backpacks and rushed downstairs at the fastest speed. Two minutes later, after the last soldier was included, only two minutes passed, two minutes! It was a world of difference compared to a week ago! I looked around at the officers and soldiers of the first battalion who were still maintaining strict military appearance in the heavy rain, and couldn't help but praise. I couldn't be satisfied with such a big overall progress in a week!
However, on the surface I still maintained a cold expression. After the team gathered, I came to the front of the queue and said loudly:
"According to the plan, this morning was to organize the study of infrared reconnaissance devices, but I temporarily decided to change the plan and postpone the study until tomorrow, and tomorrow's close combat training will be ahead of this morning! Everyone must have many questions, it doesn't matter, just ask! I promise to answer you seriously!"
After saying that, I looked around the queue. Everyone stood upright in the heavy rain. No one spoke. I slowly walked to Zhong Jie at the end of the team and asked:
"Zhong Jie, don't you want to ask why I want to organize training under such harsh weather conditions?"
Zhong Jie straightened her chest and said loudly:
"Don't want to! Because I know the reason!"
I raised my eyebrows with interest and said:
"Oh? Let's hear it!"
Zhong Jie replied loudly:
"Because war will not give everyone the right to choose the weather during war! Members of the Thunder Brigade must be able to complete tasks that ordinary people cannot complete under any weather conditions! I think this is also the answer you want to tell everyone!"
I smiled and said:
"clever!"
After saying that, I looked straight, strode to the queue and said:
"Goal: Team comprehensive training ground! Run and move forward!"
After saying that, I strode into the heavy rain, and behind me, Xiang Yi whispered an order:
"Turn left! Run!"
When the winding team ran into the training ground, many surprised gazes shot out from the windows of the multi-purpose hall. I stood on the platform indifferently and said:
"Comrades in the first battalion! Soldiers are a sacred word! He is full of blood! He is full of passion. I don't want a heavy rain today to extinguish the flames in everyone's hearts! Don't you want to prove yourself? Show it to your heart's content! There is no limit to today's training! If you are injured, you will naturally be responsible for treatment! Don't say much nonsense! Start training!"
With my order, the officers and soldiers on the field began to fight each other! The bodies, which had been tempered for thousands of times, were heavily hit on the mud and splashed. The blunt sound of fists hitting the body was occasionally heard into my ears. Our training was infinitely close to actual combat. After each close combat training, there were always people who had to stay in the hospital for a while.
I sensitively found someone approaching me from the back. I stepped on my side and turned my head, and my right hand grabbed the wrist of the visitor like lightning. With the help of the situation, I easily controlled the uninvited guest.
I looked closely and found that the person I was restrained was Zhong Jie. She frowned slightly. The moment I just started, my hand was a little heavy, and her wrist must have hurt a lot. I frowned, let go of my hand, and looked at her indifferently.
Zhong Jie raised her chin and said:
"My partner had a high fever today and took sick leave. Comrade Chief of Staff, are you interested in playing with me for a few games?"
I looked up and down at her, curled my lips and said:
"You? Hehe, no interest!"
Zhong Jie's mouth raised slightly and said slowly:
"I heard that people are the older they are, the younger they are. I think you are a little bit old and look a little sorry to the audience, but your mental age is not so old that you dare not even accept the challenge of a woman, right?"
I laughed loudly, and I couldn't help laughing anymore. I laughed so hard that I was so sad that I finally hugged my stomach that was a little laughing, and raised my head and said:
"It seems that the beautiful Staff Officer Zhong is not as smart as the legendary one! You actually naively think that provoking the Dharma would be useful to people like me? Haha..."
Zhong Jie snorted coldly, kicked me with a flying leg, I easily dodged and then said loudly:
"Zhong Jie! It's a little over!"
Zhong Jie didn't say a word, but her fist greeted me like raindrops. While I easily blocked her tender attack, I shouted loudly:
"Zhong Jie, don't force me! I will suffer if you are suffering!"
Zhong Jie expressed her position with her actions - she punched me a right hook again, I smiled bitterly, blocked her left hand hard, and took advantage of her unstable center of gravity, I stepped up, grabbed her tiny waist, and easily carried her onto her shoulders. Then, no matter she punched and kicked me on my shoulder, I resisted her and walked straight towards Yi.
In Xiang Yi's surprised gaze, I threw Zhong Jie hard on the ground, then turned to Xiang Yi and said:
"Battery Commander Xiang, how did you organize the training? A soldier ran to me to make trouble and you didn't even bother!"
Xiang Yi smiled bitterly and looked at Zhong Jie on the ground and said:
"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Zhong...she is not my soldier..."
I whispered:
"Nonsense! She has been training with your troops! Whose soldier is not yours? I don't care about anything else. Anyway, you take care of her during training!"
Xiang Yi smiled and said:
"Chief of Staff, in fact, Staff Zhong just wants to discuss with you. Why are you keeping people from thousands of miles away? Just give her some advice!"
Zhong Jie, who struggled to stand up from the ground, also stared at me with a burning look. I said angrily:
"What do you all think of me? I just look sorry for the audience? No need to remind you!"
Xiang Yi said with a smile:
"Chief of Staff, if you look sorry to the audience, then we all become beasts, haha..."
I glared at him and said:
"You talk too much! Organize the training well! I'll go over and take a look!"
After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the soldiers who were training opposite me. At this time, there was a whistling sound from behind. I sighed secretly. Zhong Jie was too stubborn! I stood up suddenly, Long Teng's true energy was covered with her back. I was about to take her leg. At that time, Zhong Jie used all her strength to kick my waist heavily. Unscathed, I pretended to stagger forward, then turned around, looked at Zhong Jie coldly and said:
"Satisfied?"
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong. When I took Zhong Jie's kick just now, I clearly felt a trace of dragon trench. Although it was only an extremely weak aura, even less than one percent of the level of Lei Jun, I could clearly feel that this was dragon trench!
Although I believe that Longteng is impossible to inherit, my first thought was: Isn’t Zhong Jie the descendant of the founder of Longteng? Isn’t her physical condition the most suitable for practicing Longteng! Could it be that the side effect I tried my best to save her last time? After all, I have never tried to enter the true energy of my whole body into someone else’s body without leaving any trace...
Zhong Jie, who had been cold-faced, saw that my face changed and suddenly pounced on me and asked anxiously:
"You fool! Why don't you hide! Why... your face looks so ugly? Are you injured? Let me see..."
After saying that, she was about to come and lift my training uniform. I quickly stopped her and said:
"Stop! I'm fine! What are you doing? Let the soldiers see... even the spits can drown you!"
I glanced at Zhong Jie with an awkward expression, turned around and continued to walk towards the soldiers. After I walked a few steps, I turned around and said:
"Don't you want to fight me? Come with me!"
When I threw Zhong Jie to the ground for the fifteenth time, she finally stopped getting up. She just sat blankly on the ground, not knowing what she was thinking. Through the fight, I also knew that Zhong Jie did not practice Long Teng, because aside from the weak power, there was another important reason that she could not use it at all. To be precise, she had no idea what had happened to herself.
I walked over slowly and reached out my hand. Zhong Jie raised her eyes and looked at my hand. She continued to lower her head without saying a word. I shook my hand again. Zhong Jie finally gave me a blank look and grabbed my hand. I pulled her up from the ground with a light force.
At this time, the heavy rain had basically stopped, but the entire training ground was very slippery, and there was mud rising everywhere. The soldiers were fighting in the mud. They used all the means they could use to deal with their comrades around them, because they knew my requirements very well. My requirement was that during training, the person on the other side should not be regarded as their comrades, or as an enemy who would take their lives at any time!
The shouts kept coming from there. I sighed and said to Zhong Jie:
"Since you want to stay, you should have your own reasons, right? Can you tell me? First of all, I don't want to hear the high-sounding words you said in my office that day!"
Zhong Jie said quietly:
"Those words are high-sounding, but they are indeed my inner thoughts, but that is not the main reason..."
I raised my eyebrows and said:
"If you don't mind, I want to hear the main reason you said. To be honest, I'm very interested in this because your performance in the past few days has surprised me! I admit that I underestimated you earlier!"
Actually, I know in my heart that Zhong Jie can show such potential and tenacity, although it is inseparable from her willpower, it is undeniable that Longteng must have played a very important role in it, but I will not say these.
Zhong Jie smiled and said:
"You won't believe it even if you say it. Actually, I came to Fuzhou and Thunder Team, just to find peace of mind..."
I subconsciously repeated:
"The peace of mind?"
Zhong Jie said lightly:
"Yes, although I can work hard in Beijing and have a lot of halos, I always feel like I live like a walking zombie, but I feel restless inside, and I have no peaceful mentality when I went to military academy!"
She stopped and continued:
"Changfeng, I know this is the ideal birthplace of your dreams. At the same time, I also know that I can find the feeling of going to military academy here, the feeling of truly living in the world as a person! I can understand the joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness... I don't think I need to say the reason, but don't worry, I know you and Xiaoying are very happy. Although you said that you agreed to cancel the agreement, I will not go too far! I have a self-knowledge!"
I don’t feel tired when talking with a smart girl. I pondered for a while and said:
"Okay! But if I fail the assessment, I can't help you! There are three weeks left, and I will be the cold-faced instructor within three weeks. I hope you don't have any unrealistic illusion because I said so much to you today!"
Zhong Jie showed a rare smile of happiness, and she said with her chest straight:
Chapter completed!
