Chapter 32: A lonely figure in the early morning, is this Wu Xiucai?
"I don't want to remind you for the third time, everyone get up!!"
While Chen Mo was getting dressed, Lao Pao shone his flashlight at the other recruits in the dormitory.
The urging voice was already mixed with a bit of anger.
Just at this moment, a loud whistle was heard in the corridor.
“Beep-beep!!”
"Each class, lead your team to assemble downstairs within ten minutes."
Hearing the whistle, Lao Pao walked to the dormitory door and turned on the light. The dim light illuminated the entire room.
Now, no one dares to take chances.
One by one, they came out of the quilt, breathing in the cool air, rubbing their arms with their hands, and quickly put on their clothes.
The bed boards creaked, and the sound spread throughout the dormitory building. The sense of urgency in the military camp in the early morning was instantly filled.
Chen Mo actually didn't like the winter uniforms of the army in the 1990s. Due to the outdated production technology and uneven cotton filling, all the coats looked very bulky.
Even a pair of military cotton shoes weighs almost as much as a rifle, a full six or seven pounds.
It is warm to wear, but it is too cumbersome.
After Chen Mo had finished packing, he stood in front of Lao Pao. His body was more than twice as swollen as usual.
After all the class members have gathered.
Lao Pao walked around the group, making sure everyone was dressed correctly before he spoke: "First, let me explain. You should all be familiar with the drills in the army. It's just running."
"The whole company will be participating soon. This is a test for everyone. When you're out exercising, don't back down after taking a few breaths."
"Now that you've arrived at the military camp, you should understand that if you want to become a qualified soldier as quickly as possible, you need the necessary experience."
"Yesterday it was Chen Mo's turn to be on duty, today it's Zhu Gaituan's turn."
"Chen Mo."
"arrive."
"You will be at the front of the line and lead the team out of the dormitory. Later, all classes will gather in the hallway and lead them downstairs together."
"When you get to the corridor, start singing. Your voice should be loud and clear, and you should sing out your energy and spirit first."
"Okay, let's lead the team out, Ya Eryi, Ya Eryi."
Lao Pao was responsible for shouting slogans and leading the team on the left side of the queue, while Chen Mo was at the head of the column leading people to the corridor.
The speed of Class 8 was not that slow. At least when they came out and stood in the corridor, only the veterans of Class 7 and Class 6 were hanging around in front.
"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, up!"
When the queue stopped, Chen Mo raised his head and started singing.
With the veterans watching those new recruits at the back with a fierce look on their faces, who would dare not speak up?
The loud voice penetrated the darkness, ignited the atmosphere of the early morning, and even dispelled the strong wind blowing in the face.
"Can't you hurry up, damn? Is putting on pants really that hard?"
"Damn it, Lu Jun, what are you talking about? Ah!! Put on your coat and get out to the gathering."
The gathering of Class 8 immediately irritated the two nearby classes, and the cursing and roaring filled the entire dormitory building.
After all the classes upstairs had arrived, the new recruits, led by their squad leaders, marched in a column to the front of the building to assemble.
At this time, Company Commander Cheng Dong and Instructor Huo Linshan had already arrived at the assembly location.
The sky was still dark and the wind was still howling, but the orange street lights had already illuminated the entire camp.
The lights dispelled the darkness and paved the way for everyone to the training ground.
"Reporting to the company commander, the entire company should have 73 people present, and the actual number is 73. Duty officer Ma Xiaole, please give instructions."
"Carry out as planned."
"yes."
After the duty officer finished his report, he turned and ran back to the front of the queue, saying in a high voice, "Everyone, turn right."
"Two columns, each squad leader leads the team, target the training ground, march in step."
Tap tap tap...
The team started out from the direction of Team One.
Chen Mo stood in the queue and stretched his legs. When it was the turn of Class 8, the entire company looked like a long green dragon swimming on the ground.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
The training ground is very close to the dormitory building, with the buildings facing each other, separated by a wide road.
By the time Class 8 arrived at the runway, the classes in front of them had already started running.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, spread his legs and started running.
"Follow the class in front closely and don't fall behind."
"Feng Junling, your legs are so long, can't you move them?"
"Yang Dali, where are you looking? Can you even keep your eyes on the road? Follow Chen Mo in front of you. I'll beat anyone who falls behind again."
"hurry up!"
The old soldier ran with the team, and from time to time he spoke up to remind the new recruits in the class.
Because generally speaking, when doing group drills like this, the soldiers are all new recruits, and they tend to be very competitive at first.
The speed will also increase
Veterans are required to remind and supervise at all times to avoid pushing and trampling of new recruits due to unclear vision and lack of experience.
The first lap down.
Chen Mo really didn't feel any difficulty, and with a group of people in front of him blocking the wind, he finished a lap smoothly.
But starting from the second lap, the running speed of the entire team slowed down significantly.
It may be that the new recruits had no experience in drills and the wind in their mouths caused them to get a stitch in the side, or it may be that the cotton coats they were wearing were too heavy and they really couldn't run.
From time to time, some of the new recruits in the queue ran to the open space on both sides, bent over, supported their bodies with their hands on their knees, and gasped for breath.
As long as one such incident occurs and is not reprimanded by the squad leader, a herd effect will follow.
Only halfway through the second lap, there were less than twenty people in groups one to seven ahead.
In fact, Chen Mo was also feeling uncomfortable at this time. His big cotton shoes were too heavy, and every step he took seemed to fall to the ground with a force of ten thousand pounds.
The tight-fitting autumn clothes had long been sticky to my body, which was extremely uncomfortable and even my lungs were burning with pain.
Because he was wearing too many clothes and a fur hat to block his vision.
When Chen Mo was running, he didn't know how many people were still holding on behind him, let alone whether the people from Class 8 were still there.
Unable to hear Lao Pao's roar, Chen Mo just gritted his teeth and ran at his own pace.
There was no one in front to block the wind for him, and his inner clothes were soaked with sweat, so his cotton coat had lost its function of keeping him warm.
Gusts of cold wind blew across my face, the chill reaching deep into my bones.
But Chen Mo still seemed unaware, with only the road ahead in his eyes.
The third lap, the fourth lap, the fifth lap...
When all the recruits on the track had left to rest, Chen Mo's figure was still moving forward and running.
far away.
The company commander of the second company of recruits, Cheng Dong, the instructor Huo Linshan, Lao Pao, and several veterans of the reconnaissance company, all stood under the street light and stared at the figure in a daze.
"Good fellow, this is a martial arts scholar, right?"
Cheng Dong smacked his lips. There were many people in their reconnaissance company who could run five laps on this standard 400-meter track.
But Chen Mo is a new recruit, and he is wearing the army's unique four-piece cold-resistant suit. Even in this situation, he can still persist in running five laps without stopping.
At least in previous years, few of the recruits that the reconnaissance company valued could do so.
What's more, Chen Mo didn't stop.
The sixth lap, the seventh lap...
At this time, Chen Mo had almost reached his limit, but he was still persisting.
Chen Mo is a proud person at heart, and proud people are often unwilling to admit defeat.
In his previous life, he wasted twenty years, twenty years that were like a dream.
Now, having finally returned to the military camp, Chen Mo has never wanted to make progress as much as he does now.
The strong wind made his cheeks red, and the wind and sand also blinded Chen Mo's eyes.
Thinking back to the night when he wrote the letter, he walked into the yard and looked up as if he saw his wasted self going away, and thought of the bleak second half of his previous life.
A low roar erupted from Chen Mo's throat, and his eyes, which were obscured by the wind and sand, became brighter at this moment.
Dad, Mom, you are waiting for your son to succeed. I will definitely make something of myself in this life.
And old leaders, please wait for me. I will definitely get the qualifications to stand in front of you again in the shortest time possible.
This is Chen Mo's obsession, as well as his inner voice and regret. At this moment, it keeps flashing in his mind.
The depression that had been suppressed in my chest for twenty years seemed to be released at this moment.
His pace was still quickening.
The tenth lap, the eleventh lap...
Many recruits in the Second Company of Recruits who were originally resting stood up from the ground and looked at the figure that was still running in surprise.
At this time, even Cheng Dong, who was originally grinning, became panicked.
After all, he had seen many talented recruits, but he had never seen one so persistent.
"Something's wrong, Lao Pao, go over and take a look."
Cheng Dong pointed in Chen Mo's direction and spoke in a hurried voice.
