Chapter 9
He could only watch helplessly as items fell out of the line in front of him
Then where is the commotion of the emergency assembly, that is the reaction to a pervert entering the women's bathhouse
I just nodded and said yes, yes; the sound was coming from the reeds by the riverbank. Should I go in and take a look?
The Northeast Tiger Brigade is also a nationally renowned time-honored special forces unit
What are we, a bunch of junior officers, being fooled about? Why don't we just go directly ask those participants if they are willing or not
The training materials we use contain numerous training standards, which were established by the leaders of the Northeast Tiger Brigade. The brigade's deputy commander meticulously follows the training regimen alongside me, this new recruit, focusing on honest physical conditioning
I cannot speak for others, but I certainly summoned the determination to endure a fifty-kilometer sprint, gritting my teeth to refrain from laughing out loud
Both of those individuals had a yellowish object pressing against their chests. The big guy was even stepping on that object. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a large copper rod used in electrolysis plants
It is not solely due to the strength of the old bull.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, a whistle sounded
It is estimated that the team leader found me particularly displeasing, and when he turned his head, he immediately saw me and raised his hand to call out: "An emergency assembly will be held tonight, you will lead a class to provide rear guard protection!"
Given our behavior of scavenging behind female college students, if the brothers on night watch were to see us, they would be utterly embarrassed by us
There is still no way to do it
I don't know if this urgent assembly has had an effect... It really makes those female college students understand that the military is not a marketplace where they can cause a commotion as they please
Still waiting
I have not yet reacted, the sanitation team administrator, a straightforward military officer from Shaanxi, came up and said: "Is this pickled century egg? Why is it so white?"
Some say that starting from practical combat, it is essential to arrange several emergency assemblies; otherwise, this training course loses its significance and becomes mere formalism, akin to a military performance
Everything that can be imagined exists
In the glare of the flashlight, Old Bull was contentedly smoking a cigarette with a stick in his mouth, while two individuals lay at his feet, appearing to be in a state of utter exhaustion.
Alright, since it comes easily to me, I might as well share some interesting or memorable things I encountered back then
I truly admire Old Bull
I completely forgot about the co-construction unit, and standing by the roadside, I started cursing: "What the hell is this..."
The calls of the birds and the chatter of the swallows, the steps are scattered and disordered, accompanied by laughter and playful banter
You might be looking at me with my mouth agape, still trying to comprehend what is happening, and then I added, "Be careful, especially pay attention to those who have fallen behind"
After several discussions, it ultimately proved that the management personnel attending the training class were the most astute
Those who lag behind are indeed not as closely watched and protected by those female soldiers as they are
Several leaders in the group confidently promised to take responsibility for this matter
What quality is this? Why should I worry about it?
It seems that something has indeed happened, right? Otherwise, why would Boss Niu be shouting in the middle of the night
I haven't even run a kilometer yet, something is not right
At that time, this could be considered a beautiful job
I have been a recruit myself and have also trained recruits.
It is also time for our boss Niu to shine
When Boss Niu tackled me, he smoothly executed a forward lunge followed by a swift shoulder-dipping concealment maneuver. If Boss Niu were given a gun, he could probably create a single-soldier shooting cover with just a few strikes of the gunstock!
Although it is undeniable that Boss Niu has a strong physique, sitting in the office for extended periods can easily lead to a loss of certain physical abilities
Keniu, the leader, still insisted on coming down, and his progress was remarkably rapid. By the subsequent emergency assemblies, he was almost able to keep up with the team, and the sound of his breathing had also significantly decreased.
The good habits passed down by the veterans from the war years have never been discarded within the military
In the military, the requirements are not only strict regarding the quality of soldiers but also for officers. Many departments even hold training courses at the level of division and above every year, specifically designed for those officers at the rank of colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major, focusing on tactical skills training.
That night at 2:00 AM, everyone went out lightly equipped, ran about ten kilometers, and returned home to sleep, which was not too difficult. The most one had to be careful about was when running on the riverbank path to avoid tripping over stones.
At that time, a police officer exclaimed, "My goodness, who is this big shot?" ... The copper rods in this electroplating factory weigh nearly 200 pounds each; it is impressive if an average person can lift one with both hands, yet this big shot actually...
Alright, the female university students are indeed quite anxious about the first emergency assembly, fearing that something might go wrong. We will obey the orders and prepare to return.
Moreover
Especially at night, once our boss starts running, within ten minutes you will understand what it means to be out of breath like a bull; that is a true depiction of our boss.
This is quite a torment for those high-ranking individuals
Applying face masks in the middle of the night, these female college students are truly at the height of fashion
After running for about two or three minutes, I had just caught up with the group ahead when I heard a thunderous shout from the direction where Old Niu was hiding, and then there was no sound at all.
Even now, I cannot comprehend how to describe the demeanor and character of Old Bull at that time
Isn't it just about calling those female students out to run a few kilometers in the evening
Thus, the middle-level cadres in this army are truly sincere and kind-hearted
I have made a fool of myself, and I have also seen new recruits make fools of themselves
It was quite easy for people to come out, as two individuals in pajamas rushed out of the dormitory, their faces pale and ghostly looking
snacks, colorful cosmetics, liberation shoes, toothbrushes, cups, soap dishes, towels
At that time, each of us in the class had a bulging military bag on our backs. In the pitch darkness, we hurried back to the sanitation team's courtyard, dropped it in front of the captain's office, and immediately retreated
I stood lightly equipped with my brothers in the courtyard of the sanitation team waiting
Three brothers stayed behind to accompany the participants as they jogged slowly, while I and a few other brothers sprinted madly towards the direction of Old Bull, disregarding any other demands. We turned on the powerful flashlights, hoping to move a little faster.
What if I run away and three to five people suddenly emerge from the reeds to confront Boss Niu in a fierce struggle
Upon seeing me, Boss Niu smiled smugly and said, "Baldy, take a look at these two kids. They really think that after we leave, everything will be just fine if they cross the road. Little did they know, I am right here waiting for you!"
At that time, a heated discussion was initiated to deliberate whether to arrange an emergency assembly for these participants
That year, I had already become a veteran, somewhat renowned among the elite. As a result, I encountered a group of female university students who seemed to have come from nowhere, which certainly broadened the horizons of the leaders and brothers in the base!
Perhaps seeing my hesitation, Boss Niu patted me on the back and said, "You should go listen to me, it's definitely the right choice"
Our group leader, that morning we got up to take a walk, and suddenly we saw those dozens of female university students doing their morning exercises for the first time
Then, let's start running
All I could hear was the wailing and howling from that dormitory
Continue to wait
Then let's start practicing
Old Niu shook his head and said, "No, no. With such a large reed marsh, when will you find the end? You should go ahead and quickly call everyone back. I will hide and observe the situation before making any further decisions"
Are you familiar with our participant? They are a lumberjack, having honed their physical strength through hard work in the dense forests of Northeast China.
I have also encountered a group of university students
The class I lead consists of individuals from various military branches across the country, and I recall there is a man from Northeast China with the surname Niu, who is truly an exceptional person
I believe another manifestation of unity among officials and soldiers is like this
Apart from junior officers, the senior officers of certain large military units are almost like strategists commanding from a map, determining the outcome from a distance. Opportunities to charge into battle with a machine gun are few and far between, but it is not to say that such possibilities are entirely absent
Not everything is truly simple and easy
When the police arrived, they were somewhat taken aback.
Therefore, after I became somewhat well-known among the elite, I had the privilege of attending a training session at a base near a major city in Xinjiang, where I served as a temporary superior to the school-level officers.
I am somewhat concerned.
It seems that these are two thieves who came out at midnight to steal things
More lively than a vegetable market
This leader stands nearly 190 centimeters tall and is clearly somewhat overweight. The most challenging task for this leader is running
Some also say that the participants are not required to go to the battlefield every day, and it suffices to have a general understanding. Even if an emergency assembly is necessary, it can be as simple as running one or two kilometers to avoid any potential issues that would be difficult to explain.
Is it worth taking our class out?
You scared me!
It is said that troops of our type should not be bothered with such abstract concepts as co-construction, yet certain trends are indeed hard to resist
After all, twenty days later, our team leader stood on the curb watching those early-rising female college students, whose synchronized steps and loud shouts echoed like mountains, and he nodded vigorously: "This is what it should look like!"
Later, I heard from the female soldiers of the health team that that night, they waited for half an hour just for those university students to pack their belongings
As I was running, I was also looking around. Slowly, Boss Niu ran beside me and said, "Baldy, did you hear that? It seems like someone is moving nearby"
I felt reassured just by taking a glance at Old Bull, and then I pursued those representatives and instructors ahead.
Watching Boss Niu's effortless demeanor, I also found it quite strange
Please wait ... ...
We haven't finished scolding yet, we took a step forward: "Team leader, these are all local university students, isn't this a joint effort?"
The total distance covered was less than 5 kilometers, and the brothers in the class were all fully loaded!
So I didn't pay much attention, but as I was running, I felt something was off. It seemed like we could hear someone walking in the wild by the roadside, or rather, the sound of heavy footsteps.
The intensity of our training is absolutely incomparable to the training intensity that these participants need to endure. It is akin to asking us to take a proper vacation to relax while also enjoying the meals provided in the officers' mess alongside the participants
The female soldiers of the sanitation team and the library, except for two red cards and two 0.12 yuan, all rushed in to help. After a full ten minutes, only then did they see someone coming out of the dormitory
Our leader, Niu, is indeed impressive. Laughing, he said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In our unit, anyone can play like this. Young comrades, you should hurry and leave, so we can return as well
I was completely stunned at that moment
Still darting around the camp, not even stepping outside the outer wall. Is it really that tense?
At that moment, the leader's face turned green
Both thieves were already rolling their eyes in despair, while the copper rods pressing down on their chests were surprisingly lifted by the boss, who grabbed one in each hand and placed them onto the police vehicle, effectively weighing down the small van.
As I watched this urgent assembly turn into accompanying the elderly lady next door to the market, I heard my comrade behind me mutter softly, "Boss, if these were our female soldiers, they would surely be driven to death by the instructor's demands"
The female soldiers training the university students have certainly met their own standards, but they cannot withstand the overwhelming barrage of fashion, snacks, and cosmetics from these female university students. It is likely that they have long since blended into a harmonious military-civilian partnership.
There are two more matters that I believe are worth discussing, so that everyone can understand what the strength of the military is and what it means to undergo training
At that time, I did not dare to ask, nor did I have the courage to inquire, so I kept this matter in my heart
It was not until later, by a very chance opportunity, that I began to chat with a brother from a certain Northeast Tiger unit, and that brother suddenly burst into laughter
At this time, the participants had also arrived. One of the participants suggested that someone should call the police, saying that they were tired from running and needed to rest. They also wanted to see what Old Niu had caught.
The atmosphere at the group leader's place is quite tense
We all consider ourselves to be somewhat strong individuals, but there are indeed not many who can effortlessly lift and casually throw around 400 pounds like Old Bull.
In response to this question, the opinions of the participants were extremely unified, encapsulated in a single statement—everything must be based on practical combat, with strict requirements and rigorous training
I followed behind with my classmates.
The training class is about to conclude, and during the final emergency assembly, our leader showcased what it truly means to be impressive.
