Chapter 165: This is not an assessment, it is clearly a scout benefit
The training lasted for a whole afternoon, until the sun was about to set, when the people from the squadrons and companies finally took turns to go on stage.
Perhaps the requirements of the 1,000-meter obstacle course are indeed high. During the training camp, more than 96% of the trainees collapsed halfway and failed to reach the finish line.
Whether it was a squadron or a squadron, too many people were eliminated.
However, it is not a bad thing. At least this group of veterans no longer dislike each other as they did when they first met.
After the meeting, we can get together to study and communicate.
On the surrounding fields, groups of veterans could be seen everywhere, gesticulating and discussing their performances.
Trying to try again.
Chen Mo was also sitting on the ground, bragging to a group of young students.
Suddenly, a quick whistle was heard in the distance.
"Beep-beep!"
"gather!!"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. We can talk about it another day when we have time." Chen Mo heard the noise, he quickly stood up, patted the dust off his pants, and ran to the gathering place of the student team.
He didn't chat for half a day in vain.
At least the people in the Luyuan Propaganda Agency were quite interested in grassroots affairs and made some detailed records of Chen Mo's experience in the reconnaissance company.
It is estimated that it won’t be long before his nickname “Scholar” will be well known in Luyuan.
Chen Mo himself couldn't explain what the specific role was, but anyway, military academies and the army were places that emphasized positive progress.
It never hurts to show off in front of others and behind their backs.
After all, the era of learning from Lei Feng in obscurity is not suitable for the present.
When they arrived at the 402 class's line, after Chen Mo took his place, Fang Huai walked to the front of the line with his hands behind his back.
He first glanced across the queue and stared at the crowd for a long while.
A smile appeared on his face, and he put his hands on his hips and said loudly, "How is it, comrades? After experiencing the academy's thousand-meter obstacle course, you all have a lot of feelings now, right?"
Without waiting for anyone in the queue to respond.
Captain Fang continued, "You're right to feel this way. Let me show you how our predecessors got through it. Compared to them, we're already enjoying great fortunes."
"The army is constantly developing and technology is constantly improving. We should cherish the opportunity to be able to stand here and receive training in peace and quiet."
"It's just quite unexpected."
"I didn't expect our scholar to be able to hold on to the end. Come on, everyone, give him a round of applause."
The words fell.
Dozens of people in the queue all turned their eyes to Chen Mo, and applause broke out at the right time, as warm as thunder.
The military values martial arts, especially at the grassroots level. Regardless of seniority or age, as long as you have strong physical fitness, you will easily be respected.
Chen Mo, who is usually quiet, surprised many people with his performance today. After all, in the 1,000-meter obstacle course, you can't just hold on to the finish line just by having good physical fitness.
That thing has nothing to do with physical fitness, it only depends on perseverance.
Wait until the applause becomes a little less frequent.
Fang Huai raised his hand and pressed it down, saying, "Alright, in this training camp, besides Xiucai who made it to the finish line, Comrades Ruan Anmin and Yang Jinghong from Team 1 also performed well."
"Every year in the middle and end of the year, the academy organizes intensive training for the reconnaissance department. I believe you all know the purpose of this."
"Alright, I won't say any more. The mid-year exam is tomorrow."
"There are no other tasks tonight. Everyone, gather your strength and prepare for tomorrow's assessment."
"I still say the same thing. If you don't want your grades to look bad in your files and don't want your class to be embarrassed, then try your best in tomorrow's exam."
"I wish all my comrades good results in advance."
"Dismissed!!"
For students who are promoted to officers, the management in all aspects is not very strict.
Overall, it is not even as good as the other squadron.
After all, they are only staying here for a few months, and no one wants to cause trouble. As long as they don't cause trouble, Captain Fang Huai and the squad leader arranged by the motorized infantry company of the coaching corps rarely interfere.
Whatever happens, most of the veterans who are promoted have hot tempers, so why bother with so much?
All of them are handed over to the district captains selected from among the students.
The district captain of the second team is currently Xie Yong from dormitory 402. Chen Mo was just a figurehead before, but the position was taken over in less than half a day.
Looking at Fang Huai and the crowd around him, they all started to leave the military training ground.
Xie Yong raised his hands and fanned the air twice, saying, "Let's go, brothers. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first. I don't think we have any plans for tonight."
"I don't know how to handle the test tomorrow."
"Let's go." Ding Zeliang responded to the district captain's call.
But when he turned to leave, he turned his head deliberately and looked at the circular obstacle course behind him.
His eyes were full of unwillingness.
After the training of the reconnaissance department was over, many students from other departments began to try it out on the field, and it looked quite new.
Because in a kilometer-long obstacle course like this, many obstacles are usually removed.
The academy will only carry out maintenance during the training days.
Even if we don't retreat, it won't work.
There are so many hemp rope walls, high boards, and rope ladders, and there are also many students in the Lu Academy. If they are not maintained for half a month, many hemp ropes will be pulled out.
There are some obstacles that cannot be used normally.
Currently, the main event is the 400-meter hurdles, and this venue is rarely used.
Ding Zeliang did not make it to the end, which was a big blow to him as a veteran from the Night Tiger Company.
Looking around the dormitory, Chen Mo, the only one who had persisted to the end, was now brushing the dust off his trouser legs and leaving with the crowd.
Lao Ding walked over and put his arm around Chen Mo's shoulders, saying with a smile: "Scholar, please teach me some of your experience."
"What the hell is experience?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused.
"Training." Ding Zeliang raised his folded arm and pinched Chen Mo's arm: "You have only been in the army for a few days, right?"
"They're stronger than me who's been doing this for three or four years. Tell me how you trained."
How to practice
When Chen Mo heard this, he immediately laughed bitterly. This can't be achieved just by practicing.
Desire or obsession is the root of motivation. If Lao Ding also had the memories of the future, he would know the future development of the army.
If he wants to seize the opportunity and work hard to show himself in this development trend, then he will be able to persevere.
But he couldn't say this to anyone else, because if he did, it would either be confidential or no one would believe him.
Seeing Ding Zeliang staring at him seriously, as if he was really asking for advice, Chen Mo simply chuckled and patted his chest and said, "This may be a talent. I was born with a large lung capacity."
"Bullshit."
Ding Zeliang obviously didn't quite believe what Chen Mo said. He curled his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
A group of people walked to the exit of the military training ground. It was dusk at this time. Golden sunlight sprinkled on the ground and a breeze blew on their faces, refreshing everyone who had just gone through high-intensity training.
I felt a sense of comfort all over my body.
In accordance with the strict requirements of the Lu Academy, people should be arranged in pairs or rows or three people at a time.
As soon as the seven members of 402 left the training ground, they changed from a scattered posture to forming a single column.
Ding Zeliang was at the head of the line, marching in step. Perhaps he felt a little emotional when he saw the evening scenery, or perhaps he was unhappy because of the failure in the training camp.
Old Ding suddenly raised his head and began to sing: "One, two, one, two, one, two, three, four."
"We soldiers, what's the difference? Get ready, get going!!"
On the cement road on the way back from the military training ground, Ding Zeliang sang so powerfully, but the people behind him were silenter than each other.
"Sing, why are you all keeping your mouths shut?" Ding Zeliang waited for a long time without hearing any response, so he turned his head and urged.
"This tune of yours is not easy to sing, change it." Wang Bo complained from behind.
Lai Wei and Liu Mujun also shook their heads.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to sing, but they’ve been hungry for most of the day and have been struggling with obstacles for a long time, so how could they have any energy left?
"Fuck! So hard to please."
Ding Zeliang cursed angrily and continued to sing. Seeing that no one else was singing, he walked ahead with the sound of ghosts howling.
Completely disregarding the lives of the people behind him.
Chen Mo didn't care. He actually enjoyed this kind of funny moment with his comrades. He followed the team, endured the noise around him, and came to the cafeteria.
Maybe it’s because the mid-year assessment is approaching.
The usual scene of students from various departments chatting and laughing in the cafeteria was gone, and everyone came and went in a hurry.
The people in Room 402 didn't stay there for long. After dinner, they returned to the dormitory and began to prepare for the next day's assessment.
The next morning, May 28, 1999.
The long-awaited assessment is finally here.
Six o'clock in the morning.
There was no training scheduled for last night, and after a night of rest, everyone in dormitory 402 was full of energy.
Without waiting for the wake-up whistle outside, they all got up from bed. Some were tidying up their rooms, while others were rubbing their temples with their hands, waiting for movement outside.
Today is the mid-year assessment that Captain Fang has repeatedly reiterated. No one dares to be careless because it only talks about assessment but never mentions what subjects will be tested.
Everyone is making nervous preparations.
As Chen Mo lay on the upper bunk, folding his quilt, Wang Bo, who was on the lower bunk, looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and said in confusion, "This is really strange. Even people in the academy can be lazy. Why didn't anyone blow the wake-up whistle today?"
"Is it time yet?"
Hearing the sound, Chen Mo stretched his head and looked out the window.
Their dormitory is on the fourth floor, which is also the top floor of the student building, from Chen Mo's perspective.
I happened to see that on Road No. 1, which corresponds to the east gate of the academy, a number of fully armed students were rushing past in five columns.
Just looking at the appearance, there are nearly a thousand people.
This is, the assessment has begun?
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then said: "Brothers, pack your backpacks, quickly!"
"There may be too many people involved in the assessment, so we have to go out in batches. It will soon be our turn in Building 3."
There aren't so many twists and turns among the veterans. They are all scouts and their alertness is not bad.
After Chen Mo's reminder, Xie Yong, Ding Zeliang, Lai Wei and others had almost no hesitation.
He picked up the backpack rope and started working.
Just when they were almost ready, a series of long and five short fatal whistles were blasted in succession in the corridors of every floor of Building No. 3.
“Beep-beep-beep-beep!!”
"Emergency assembly!!"
"Fuck, Xiucai is so awesome, he can even calculate this." Lai Wei joked with a smile, put on his packed backpack, and was the first to rush out of the dormitory.
Immediately following.
Chen Mo and other people in the dormitory also rushed out with backpacks on their backs, which stunned the cadres who were whistling in the corridor.
Damn, I’ve seen people pack their backpacks quickly, but I’ve never seen anyone pack this fast.
As soon as the whistle was blown, the person jumped out?
Chen Mo and his men were indeed fast, but Building No. 3 was inhabited by veterans, and they were not the only ones who could see what was happening outside.
When the whistle sounded, the whole building suddenly became like thunder, with people everywhere.
Less than a minute and a half.
The members of the 30th Squadron and the student squad gathered in the open space downstairs.
Yang Shilei, the captain of the 30th squadron, and Fang Huai, the captain of the student squad, were both standing downstairs at this time.
"Two teams merge into one, faster."
The representative who spoke this time was not Fang Huai, but the squadron leader Yang Shilei.
He watched as the team began to move and assemble.
Yang Shilei stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone, look to the right, look forward, and at ease!"
"Tell me about it."
"Comrades who have just arrived at the academy this year may not be familiar with the rules of the mid-year assessment. Let me briefly explain it."
"The mid-year assessment will not only be conducted by our Army Academy, but also by the Army Command, the Military Medical College, the General Staff College, the Armored Forces Command College, and so on. A number of students will be randomly selected to participate."
The words fell.
Yang Shilei pointed to Cuiping Mountain in the distance and continued, "The first test subject is orienteering."
"The rules are simple. Comrades here will be divided into classes. Each class will receive a map, but the map is incomplete. You will need to complete the remaining map yourself."
"Don't ask me where the map is. I don't know. It could be anywhere in the mountains. And don't try to exchange it with other classes because the maps you give out are all the same."
"From now on, you will have ten hours to collect the remaining nineteen pieces of the map. Follow the instructions on the map and meet at the finish line."
"Let me remind you one more thing. The final destination is the same. It just depends on which class can gather first and get there first."
"Comrades, I'll give you one last minute. If you have any questions, please ask them now."
Yang Shilei finished speaking.
No one in the queue, including Chen Mo, reacted much, because this kind of subject was not too demanding for scouts.
It's just orienteering, much easier than some subjects in the army.
"No one asked?"
"Report!"
"speak."
"I want to see what the assigned map looks like."
"Give it to him."
Yang Shilei was quite easy to talk to. When one of the students asked a question, a veteran from the squadron immediately handed over a map that was obviously hand-drawn.
Not only is there very little information on it, but even some of the terrain and landforms are unclear. With this incomplete map, it is extremely difficult to find the rest of the map.
"Report!"
"speak."
"Does our reconnaissance department have the same map as other departments?"
"Same."
"Report."
"speak."
"If we can't find it ourselves, can we steal the map from other classes?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.
Many grassroots armed reconnaissance companies, artillery reconnaissance companies, and instrument reconnaissance companies have carried out targeted armament.
You can find maps, calibration tools, etc.
But it is rarely allowed to steal other people's things. After all, if this loophole is opened, there will be many "sixes" in the entire field, and the fairness of the competition will be seriously unbalanced.
Chen Mo also felt that fighting should not be allowed.
But what surprised him was.
Faced with this question, Yang Shilei just grinned and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, whether it's robbery or not. As long as the patrol police don't catch me and no one complains to me, I'll do it."
"Then it's not a violation."
"I want only one result, and that is that our team must come first, and only first."
"I don't care how many teams we enter today, whether it's 20, 40, or even 80, my only requirement is to be first."
"Do you understand?"
"clear!!"
Everyone responded in unison, excitement written all over their faces.
This is not an assessment at all, it's clearly a vacation for the scouts, as long as they are allowed to perform operations beyond the scope of the exam.
There are only a few people in the entire army who dare to go head-to-head with the scout group in terms of military skills.
ps: Due to personal health reasons, I have been unable to keep up with the updates these two days, but I feel much better today and will be back tomorrow.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our readers, and we hope the service will be restored tomorrow.
