The military academy's dormitories were very large, with twelve single beds arranged side by side in each room, just enough for one platoon of soldiers in the army.
"Zhiheng, why are you back so late? Lights out is coming soon, go wash up and go to sleep!" Miao Yongyi said to Ning Zhiheng when he returned.
Miao Yongyi was one of Ning Zhiheng's close friends from military academy. Ning Zhiheng had three close classmates at military academy. Among them, Miao Yongyi was also his classmate at Yongning No. 3 Middle School in Hangzhou. It was at Miao Yongyi's encouragement that Ning Zhiheng and Miao Yongyi applied to the Central Military Academy together. The two were like brothers, sharing a deep friendship.
Ning Zhiheng nodded in acknowledgment but offered no explanation. He knew that saying too much would only lead to mistakes, and that Miao Yongyi's question was just casual. There was no need for a deliberate answer; he was naturally a man of few words, and Miao Yongyi, knowing his temperament, didn't take it to heart.
But over the past month, my good friend and brother has become increasingly taciturn. Sometimes he won't say a word all day. I really don't know how he'll get along with people in the army!
Suddenly, the door opened, and two people rushed in. It was Ning Zhiheng's other two friends, Xia Yuanming and Ke Chengyun, who had returned.
Ning Zhiheng then realized that his classmates should have been resting by this time on weekdays. But today, there were several people in the dormitory who came back even later than him.
"Yongyi, Zhiheng, do you know what happened? Just now at the drill ground, many students were asking Instructor Shao for information. He said that our class will be assigned to the 52nd Army, which is the best-equipped army." Xia Yuanming said excitedly.
"Our class is lucky! The whole class got transferred to the 52nd Army. I heard there's going to be a big battle soon, and several armies will be able to easily wipe out that small force. We'll get military merit right after graduation! Where else can you find such a good thing!" Ke Chengyun was also very excited. They were all at an age where they longed to make a name for themselves. Knowing that they would graduate early and go to the front lines, they felt only excitement, without the slightest fear.
Hearing their commotion, Miao Yongyi asked with some curiosity, "This is really good news. Military merit is secondary; the important thing is that this way, we brothers won't be separated, and we can look out for each other on the battlefield."
At this moment, the others lying in the dormitory also got up and started talking excitedly. Having trustworthy comrades to rely on on the battlefield is of course the best thing. These classmates have been studying together for two years and have long been looking forward to going to the battlefield and making contributions after graduation.
Among the crowd, only Ning Zhiheng stood by, smiling and responding without uttering a word. He watched his classmates engaged in a heated discussion, yet his heart remained as calm as a still lake. He knew that these passionate young people would one day fight to the death on battlefields amidst the chaos of war, sacrificing their lives for their country and their families.
They were the luckiest generation of soldiers, living through one of the most heroic and tragic periods in modern Chinese history, sacrificing their blood and lives for their country as soldiers. They were also the most unfortunate generation, paying an unimaginable price in the continuous wars that followed; the number of Chinese soldiers who died in the War of Resistance against Japan alone reached tens of millions. Few of these vibrant lives before us could survive this catastrophe!
It was late at night, and all the students were fast asleep, but Ning Zhiheng was unable to fall asleep for a long time, lost in his own memories.
He was originally an ordinary civil servant in a government department in the 21st century. He enjoyed a few years of success and prestige in his youth due to the appreciation of his superiors.
However, his good fortune was short-lived. His once promising leader suddenly fell ill and passed away. As his secretary, he was quickly marginalized by the succeeding leader and relegated to the position of deputy director in the archives. After that, he gave up all hope of pursuing a career in government.
When he woke up one morning, he found himself in 1936, the 25th year of the Republic of China, as Ning Zhiheng, a student about to graduate from the Whampoa Military Academy.
Over the past month, Ning Zhiheng could clearly feel certain changes in his body. At this moment, he lay quietly on the bed, and the rustling sound of the grass on the lawn outside could be clearly heard in the gentle breeze.
Even the smell of sweat and foot odor emanating from the students in the room was much stronger than before, making it hard for him to breathe.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. It was just dawn, and the indoor light was still not very good. But he could clearly see a spider hanging in the corner of the ceiling, and even make out the strands of spider silk.
All of this demonstrates that his physical abilities have improved dramatically in just one month. His hearing, smell, and vision have all improved significantly, and everything he encounters has become more vivid, clear, and distinct than before!
He got up in the early morning, dressed, and went out to the playground. He stretched his body, threw punches and kicked, each swing of his fists feeling like carrying a heavy mountain, the force steady and powerful. After a round of punches and kicks, his muscles and blood flowed freely, and he felt his whole body filled with inexhaustible strength.
He closed his eyes, feeling the blood and meridians in his body pulsating rhythmically with each breath. A warm current surged through him, connecting every part of his body. After a long while, he opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and full of energy. He could now be certain that his physical condition had improved significantly across the board.
I never imagined that after transmigrating to this era, my physical abilities would improve to such an incredible degree.
Could there really be some mysterious force unknown to humankind? All of this caused a radical change in his understanding of the world.
Having experienced fear and confusion over the past few days, he slowly integrated his memories of this life and gradually adapted to the people and things around him.
