It was five in the morning.

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the commando company camp, breaking the silence before dawn.

The elite soldiers who were still sleeping were awakened by the whistles. Without time to relax, everyone stood up immediately, quickly put on their clothes, put on their heavy equipment, and ran downstairs to the playground as fast as possible to gather.

“Speed, speed…”

"One minute left..."

The instructor kept shouting through the loudspeaker.

Company commander Zhao Wu stood on the playground, his right hand flat on his chest, his eyes fixed on his watch.

As time goes by.

Zhao Wu shouted: "Time 누."

"Everyone, stand at attention."

"Look forward and look right."

"Count."

At the company commander's shouts, the soldiers quickly lined up in an orderly manner.

1, 2, 3...

"Report, platoon 1 was supposed to have 30 people, but it turned out to be 30 people."

"Report, the 2nd Platoon was supposed to have 32 people, but it turned out to be 31 people."

Zhao Wu's face darkened when he heard this: "What's going on?"

Liu Dali shouted: "Report to the company commander, Private Zhang Jie is injured."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jie ran from the dormitory to Zhao Wu, carrying 40 kilograms of equipment on his back, and shouted, "Report to the company commander, I request to be in the queue."

Zhao Wu looked at Zhang Jie and asked, "Can you do it?"

"Report to the company commander, I can do it." Zhang Jie replied loudly.

Zhao Wu nodded: "Yes."

"놆."

Zhang Jie quickly came to Liu Dali and said, "Platoon leader."

Liu Dali nodded: "Yes."

Then he shouted: "Report to the company commander, the second platoon should have 32 people, and the actual number is 32."

As the count is over!

Zhao Wu shouted, "Everyone, turn right and run forward."

Running 5 kilometers in the morning is a physical training every morning. It is easy to run 5 kilometers. But it is not so easy to carry 40 kilograms. Especially in the cold winter weather, it is more difficult to run in the wild.

The soldiers ran out of the barracks in the cold wind, and the thick snow made the situation even more difficult. The more this happened, the more it tested the soldiers' will and physical strength.

Zhang Jie had just recovered, and this was another tough test for him. This time, Zhang Jie looked determined, his eyes full of tenacity, and he followed his comrades' steps, running hard on the snow.

The difficulty of wild running lies in the uneven road, continuous high slopes, thick snow, and every step is so difficult. And when carrying 40 kilograms, the feet are as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Last time, Zhang Jie collapsed in just five kilometers. This time, he vowed to himself that he must not collapse.

The cold wind blew on Zhang Jie's face like a sword. In just two kilometers, his breathing became more and more rapid. Sweat had already soaked his back, and it quickly became cold in the cold wind.

"Xiaojie, how are you? Are you okay?"

Squad leader Yang Peng slowed down his pace and asked with concern.

Zhang Jie smiled slightly: "Squad leader, I can do it."

Yang Peng smiled: "Well, I believe it will work this time."

"Um."

"Come on, Xiaojie!"

"Xiaojie, you can do it."

The soldiers in the second row slowed down their pace and encouraged Xiao Jie.

The encouragement from his comrades was his greatest motivation. Xiao Jie's steps became faster and faster, and he followed closely behind his comrades without falling behind.

Platoon leader Liu Dali was also running with him. He came to Zhang Jie and said, "Xiao Jie, believe in yourself. You can do it."

"Yes, platoon leader, I can do it."

“Yeah, come on!”

As time goes by, there is only one mile left.

The rest of the platoons ran ahead. Only the soldiers in the second platoon slowed down their pace and followed Zhang Jie. They encouraged Zhang Jie, who had already pushed himself to his limit, over and over again.

Zhang Jie gritted his teeth and looked at the bright red flag in front of him, which was the end of this race. Then he looked at his teammates who were willing to run behind him for him. This deep friendship gave him great energy.

Zhang Jie increased his speed again, 1 meter, 2 meters, 1 meter, 50 meters, 10 meters.

Finally, he reached the finish line within the stipulated time.

"Zhang Jie, you are the best..."

When his comrades saw that Zhang Jie arrived at the destination within the stipulated time, they were all happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Jie felt relieved of all the accumulated emotions at this moment. He lay exhausted on the snow with a long-lost smile on his face.

Even though he was exhausted at this moment, it was worth it.

"Platoon leader, squad leader, I'm done."

"Good job Zhang Jie, I know you are capable."

"Zhang Jie, keep going!"

Liu Dali and Yang Peng were also happy for Zhang Jie.

The new recruit was able to persevere under such high-intensity training, and his perseverance was enough to move them.

You have to know that the training of the vanguard company is close to the training level of special forces. Running five kilometers in the wild is only the basic physical fitness.

Company commander Zhao Wu also followed behind.

Liu Dali came to Zhao Wu immediately and said with a grin, "Captain, how is that kid? He got into shock after running on the playground last night. He finished the wild run within the stipulated time today. Is that ok?"

Zhao Wu still had that serious expression: "Just barely qualified, but he is still the worst in the whole company."

"Hey, Captain, with this kid's hard work, I believe he will be a good soldier in the future. Just wait and see, he will definitely satisfy you in the next assessment."

"Okay, I'll wait and see."

In fact, Zhao Wu was also moved by Zhang Jie's perseverance. He was indeed a good soldier.

In fact, as a new recruit, Zhang Jie has only been in the elite company for ten days, so it is already good enough for him to do this. However, this is the elite company, the best company in the unit.

If you want to stay here, you have to work harder than ordinary people.

Zhang Jie's performance this time was recognized by Zhao Wu, and he could stay in the elite company with peace of mind. But whether he could stay in the end depended on whether he could pass the next assessment.

This is undoubtedly a greater challenge for Zhang Jie. He must work harder and train harder than others to complete various assessments.

Physical fitness is only part of it. You also need to be qualified in shooting, obstacle crossing, airborne, lifting, fighting and other items.

He only has one month left, and the assessment next month will determine whether he can stay.

During this month, Zhang Jie spent all his time training except for eating and sleeping.

After the basic training, he used his free time to train on his own.

From five kilometers to ten kilometers, Zhang Jie has been constantly improving himself.

Shooting is also improving.

The obstacles were impossible to complete at the beginning, but now the time is getting shorter and shorter.

In the beginning of the fight, I was easily knocked down by my comrades, but now I can fight back and forth with my teammates.

His efforts and dedication were noticed by Zhao Wu and Liu Dali.

Although he was looked down upon at the beginning, Zhang Jie is now recognized by his comrades.

This rookie finally began to grow up.
