Chapter 45: Training (8)
"First place: Liu Changyuan! Second place: Ge Qunying! Third place: Zhang Huadong..."
I read twenty or thirty names in a row, but I still couldn't read me. I couldn't help but worry. After all, I just saw that my teammates performed very well. Although I was very fast, I still felt so furious now. Although I could run down ten kilometers of off-road, as a punishment measure, no one thought about it, because it means that you are not good. You are behind. In the army that regards honor as life, no one wants to be the last one, although the last one is also excellent.
"Thirty-ninth place: Zhu Xiaotian! Forty-two: Zhong Jiazhen! Forty-one: Lu Changfeng..."
"Huh!" I finally let out a sigh of relief, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground. Although the grades were not ideal, they were still a little short of the fifth place that Fu Chun said. Maybe the difference in operating time between me and the next few was very subtle, but I knew I didn't have to go out and run ten kilometers, and the most important thing was that I would not become one of the behind-the-shelf members.
Soon, the results were announced and Fu Chun said:
"The last five comrades I just read, you go out to the hall to find instructor Zhou Lixiong to report that he will arrange your cross-country training, and the remaining comrades will review their theoretical knowledge here before turning off the lights...
Fu Chun pondered for a moment, looked at me, and added: "Lu Changfeng can practice the actual operation!"
Everyone answered in unison: "Yes!"
The last five people ran out with their bags, and their teammates sat down on the spot to review. I entered the arsenal alone and fiddled with domestic and foreign weapons and equipment.
In the following days, in the morning, Zhou Lixiong took us to physical training. His training styles were all kinds of strange. Some asked us to carry logs in the desert to rush for ten kilometers, some jumped for several hours under the torrential rain, and so on, and so on. In short, every training allowed us to reach the limit of physical fitness. I thought I could not hold on several times, but I gritted my teeth, stood up, and persevered again.
Almost every time Zhou Lixiong's training ends, people are eliminated back to the original army. These are people who cannot meet the requirements in the same subject and then do it repeatedly and cannot complete it. In physical training, I found that I am improving every day. Although Longteng's breath was deliberately suppressed by me, I was dead in every training, and I was sore in my back almost all day long, after the training, I could feel the changes in my physical constitution and will, which were very obvious.
Before I knew it, compared to when I first entered the base, I seemed to have been transformed. I was a little thin and my skin was a little fair. After this period of training, my arms were much thicker and my skin was healthy and bronze. Especially the whole person looked like a soldier's temperament, which was not something that could not be pretended. The real soldier's temperament, no matter whether you are wearing military uniforms or casual clothes, others can tell at a glance that this is a soldier. From walking posture, standing posture to every move, they are unique temperaments of soldiers.
Every afternoon, Fu Chun guides us in training, from the initial assembly and decomposition of weapons and equipment, to shooting training, to driving various vehicles, the use of tools for special forces, aircraft landing, parachute landing, and power parachute... My teammates have learned very little new knowledge, and basically learn the new knowledge needed to become a shadow based on reviewing some subjects of the original army. My daily training is a challenge. From a blank to the current situation, all these things are stuffed in my mind. Every day I have to spend a lot of effort to keep learning and recharge. Thanks to my memory and understanding, I can keep up with Fu Chun's progress.
At the beginning, Fu Chun was surprised every day. He saw that I went from not understanding to understanding, from not being proficient to being proficient, and over time, he became accustomed to it. Sometimes, sometimes when I first operated, I was a little worse than other team members, and he was surprised: Why did I do worse than others today? It seemed that I was born to be better than others, even if it was the first time I came into contact with something that others had touched thousands of times.
The evening is my favorite. My teammates are learning various theories and memorizing various manuals and rules. Under Fu Chun's consent, I can fiddle with the equipment I like or conduct the training I like. As long as Fu Chun teaches us, I can practice it. Maybe this is the first time Shadow has had so many sessions of training!
I also make full use of the time in the evening to make up for my lack of contact with me before. In the accumulation of practical experience, the time in the evening has given me too much help. Sometimes, I will go to Zhou Lixiong to fight alone. Although I was beaten up by him every time, I feel that I have improved a lot after being beaten. Sometimes, I experience the feeling of shooting alone at the shooting range; sometimes, I drive various vehicles and do various stunt driving in the playground; sometimes, I will be buried in the arsenal to study whether to improve the following type of submachine gun. Too much knowledge can be integrated into my mind, and I really have many ideas that pop up from time to time.
Time passed day by day, hard but fulfilling. Gradually, I no longer worried that I would be swept out at any time like when I first came, and my confidence accumulated bit by bit. In a blink of an eye, a month passed quickly.
Today is our last day at the base. There are only 12 people left in the 50 people at the beginning. It can be seen that the elimination is cruel. The principle of shadow is to be weaker than excessive. Although 50 people are first-class, shadows have their own standards and they only have the best ones.
When I woke up in the morning, I carefully folded the quilt and sorted out the housework, I walked into the bathroom to wash up. When I saw my face that became strong in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. It took a month to come. How many hardships in the middle became the past. Farewell is coming. Instead, I cherish the time in front of me. No matter how hard it is, I have come, and my comrades have not given up!
In the hall, we stood there, and Zhou Lixiong's whole team's voice seemed to be different from usual, full of majestic flavor:
"Standing at the right-looking-align!...Look forward-looking!"
"After a moment...get your clothes!...stop! Report the numbers!"
"One, two, three...twelve!"
"After a moment... stand at attention-!...Comrade in charge! All members of the shadow preparatory team training team have been assembled! 12 people should be there, but 12 people are actually there! Please instruct! Instructor Zhou Lixiong!"
"After a moment!"
"yes!"
Zhou Lixiong was clean and neat, both the whole team and the report, and seemed to be more serious than usual. He ran to the queue with standard movements, shouting almost hoarsely: "Arest!"
Lei Jun strode forward: "Comrades!" Everyone stood at attention.
"After a break! Today is the last day of the training camp. Maybe everyone is thinking about what the assessment project will be? They are also considering whether they can survive this day! First of all, I want to say that over the past month, your performance has been very excellent. Of course, the 38 comrades who left are also very excellent, but they all have some or some aspects that are not suitable for shadows, so they left."
Lei Jun paused for a moment and continued:
"Training is cruel, I think the gains must be very big!" Speaking of this, Lei Jun glanced at me and shouted:
"Lt. Lu Changfeng!"
I subconsciously replied loudly: "Come!"
“Get out of the line!”
"Yes!" After saying that, I kicked forward with a straight step with my left foot, maintained my upper body at the right position, followed quickly with my right foot, and ran five meters in front of Lei Jun and saluted him.
Lei Jun replied with a standard military salute. To be honest, I have never seen a standard salute from the head of the academy above. Colonels like Lei Jun are really good at their qualities!
Lei Jun asked: "Last time on the streets of Chongqing, I fought with the gangster. You watched it for a long time and said you had gained something, but there was still something you couldn't figure it out. Have you figured it out now?"
After training this month, especially when I often practiced alone with Zhou Lixiong, how could my fighting skills be the same as at that time? I thought for a moment and said:
"Report to the chief instructor! What I figured out that day was that the element of speed was very important, but what I didn't figure out was why you can not only attack with an ordinary military fist, but also defend just right. Now I figured it out. In fact, the actual experience has reached a certain level. Any move can be attacked and defended by retreating! The key is to have keen observation and extraordinary reaction power! "
Lei Jun looked at me with appreciation and said, "So, your practical experience has also increased a lot this month?"
I smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "It's the ability to resist hits that has increased a lot..."
Lei Jun laughed loudly, and Zhou Lixiong's face next to him couldn't help but smile. If I remember correctly, it seemed that this was the first time I saw him laughing, but it looked like I was beaten a lot this month, but I just voluntarily. During the training, Zhou Lixiong and I became much closer because he often gave me some small tuitions to increase my practical experience.
Lei Jun continued: "Yes, at least it means that you have made progress. So if you are facing the gangsters that day, how sure are you?"
I said loudly without thinking: "Ten!"
Lei Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Join the list!"
After Lei Jun finished speaking, he turned his face and said to the 12 of our team members:
"Actually, there is no assessment today, because everyone has been undergoing assessment every day in the past month! Facts have proved that your progress is rapid and your abilities are adapted to the needs of the shadow team. Therefore, today's gathering has only two purposes. First, let me tell you that you have successfully passed this training camp and you are good! Second, I announce the order to grant you the rank of captain!"
As soon as Lei Jun finished speaking, there was no cheer in the venue because the commander did not announce the dissolution. The military discipline kept everyone standing as solid as a rock, and didn't even blink, as if the news had nothing to do with him.
Lei Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, fifteen minutes later, the east auditorium will attend the rank awarding conference and disband!"
"Kill!" Although there were only 12 people left, I felt that the sound was louder than when 50 people were together.
