Chapter 15: Physical fitness starting at LV2?
Although he was standing in the first row, and neither Liu Guoping nor the other cadres looked at Xu Ge, Xu Ge felt as if he was being stared at by countless eyes.
This feeling made him feel helpless and ashamed.
He didn't expect that just a bag of spicy strips would make the company commander so angry.
He wanted to file a report to explain something, but he vaguely felt that if he really did so, the consequences might be even worse.
After scolding Du Hu, Liu Guoping glanced at Luo Shan and then returned to the instructor Huang Jiabo.
"Each platoon will run at full speed for three kilometers. Return to regroup after completing the run!"
Luo Shan then came to the front of a row, "Turn right! Run!"
The recruits didn't know what was going on and subconsciously followed the squad leaders in front of them and ran towards the camp gate.
After running less than a few dozen meters, some recruits' backpacks fell apart and their quilts were dragged on the ground.
Luo Shan, who had been following the team, immediately shouted, "Pick up the quilt! Pick up the quilt!"
"Look at what you all look like? Stragglers! It would be humiliating if someone saw us!"
"Those in front, speed up!"
"If you have lost your blanket, pick it up and run! Don't fall behind! Keep your distance!"
"Faster!"
As the team's pace grew faster, the footsteps became more chaotic and heavy, and the recruits began to breathe heavily.
Knock knock!
The water bottle filled with water hit his body and hurt as he ran. Xu Ge felt the backpack on his back getting heavier and heavier, and it was so heavy that he could hardly straighten his waist.
Li Dongshui in front turned around and was about to say something, but after seeing the ugly expression on Xu Ge's face, he turned back with a guilty look.
Kaiyoumu's muttering voice came from behind: "Ha Yamu! Li Zhi didn't go to the second row, he came here to check on our row on purpose!"
"Hey! Xu Ge! Remember to keep your mouth shut when you get back and don't say anything nonsense, or you'll get killed!"
"Um!"
Xu Ge turned around and saw Kai Youmu with a relaxed expression, not even breathing hard.
Under the moonlight, Luo Shan was driving the new recruits towards the low hill outside the camp gate like driving ducks.
The other platoons had already returned after running 1,500 meters, but the first platoon continued to move forward, and Luo Shan had no intention of turning back.
The team started to climb the mountain.
This was the first time that Xu Ge ran such a long distance at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and he was carrying a weight. At this moment, he only felt that his body was always hovering at the limit. His chest was burning with pain, and the more he breathed, the more he longed for air.
Looking around, he found that the other recruits' reactions were even more exaggerated than his. The team was already very long, and the expressions on most people's faces had become extremely ferocious. They were either holding their heads up or lowering their heads as they moved forward with difficulty.
It was not known how long it had been, but when someone fell to the ground and could not get up, Luo Shan finally gave the order to return.
By the time they returned to the camp gate, the group of new recruits was no different from refugees fleeing famine. Most of them had their backpacks loose and their quilts dragged on the ground.
"stop!"
After entering the gate, Luo Shan stopped the team, "Get dressed where you are, and then slowly head to the assembly point! Second Squad Leader, come out and check on the new recruits!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge now felt his legs go weak, his heart beat so fast it made him panic, and he was gasping for breath with his hands on his knees.
Kai Youmu whispered to the new recruits in the first squad from behind, "Hey, soldiers in the first squad, is there anyone suffering from altitude sickness?"
The new recruits, including Xu Ge, shook their heads. Li Dongshui squatted on the ground and said, "No altitude sickness, just a little sleepy."
"Me too."
"I don't know what time it is now. It must be almost dawn. I'm so sleepy!"
After Li Dongshui finished speaking, people from Class 2 and Class 3 also spoke up to agree.
Second Squad Leader Chen Liangping, who had just circled the team, came over to Luo Shan and said, "Platoon Leader, most of the new recruits have experienced mild altitude sickness, but we haven't found any particularly serious cases yet."
Luo Shan nodded expressionlessly and ordered the team to go to the assembly point.
Xu Ge turned around and looked at Kai Youmu and whispered, "Deputy squad leader, I don't have altitude sickness. Why did the second squad leader say that?"
Kaiyoumu: "Are you sleepy?"
“A little.”
"Zhanyou, being tired is altitude sickness."
Xu Ge: ...
The token automatically appeared in front of him, and the third skill grid on the front lit up.
[100% execution of current military orders, physical proficiency +10]
"Physical Fitness: LV2 (27/199)"
The prompt on the token made Xu Ge stunned for a moment. Unlike the queue and housekeeping, his physical fitness started from LV2 or above. It seemed that this was related to his physical fitness.
. . .
. . .
When we arrived at the playground in front of the dormitory building, the other companies and platoons were already waiting there.
Most of the recruits looked no better than the first row. Quite a few of them had their backpacks loose and stood in line with their blankets in their hands.
But after all, they are all selected members of the Wolf Brigade, and so far no one has needed to be carried on a stretcher because of a three-kilometer run.
After the first row entered the queue, instructor Huang Jiabo walked to the front and the other cadres immediately stood on both sides.
"I'm Huang Jiabo, the instructor of your new recruit camp. The battalion commander is still on duty, so I'll be the one to hold the opening ceremony for you all!"
Huang Jiabo looks to be in his thirties, has the rank of major, and has a loud voice when he speaks.
"Duty Platoon Leader!"
"arrive!"
"Please report the fastest and slowest assembly times tonight, by company."
"yes!"
Luo Shan glanced at the stopwatch and shouted, "The fastest was the first company, at 11 minutes and 27 seconds, and the slowest was the second company, at 13 minutes and 3 seconds!"
The second company commander's expression immediately turned ugly.
Huang Jiabo didn't seem to care. He just said, "It took more than ten minutes to assemble. This is not the style of the Wolf Brigade. Each company needs to strengthen their training and strive to reduce the time to less than three minutes."
"yes!"
The three company commanders immediately responded loudly.
Huang Jiabo looked at the new recruits again: "Does everyone know that our Wolf Brigade is a special operations brigade?"
"Know!"
The new recruits hadn't said anything at first, but under the leadership of a group of squad leaders, they also started shouting, and it seemed sparse.
Huang Jiabo asked again: "Do you know?"
Now everyone reacted and shouted in unison: "I know!"
"Does any of the new recruits know what the word 'special forces' means?"
The scene fell silent again.
Huang Jiabo asked himself and answered: "My personal understanding is that I am very courageous! What does it mean to be very courageous? We are all men. We must be able to endure hardships and fight!"
"I just saw you guys, you couldn't even carry a backpack, so if I asked you to carry guns and artillery, wouldn't you be doomed?"
"First Company Commander!"
"arrive!"
"Come and tell everyone about the glorious history of our Wolf Brigade!"
"yes!"
Liu Guoping stepped forward and looked at the new recruits seriously: "The Wolf Brigade was founded during the Anti-Japanese War. It participated in more than 100 battles and campaigns in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and the Border Self-Defense Counterattack!
So far, the brigade has produced hundreds of generals and thousands of heroes and models, and has been awarded first-class collective merit. . . .
