Chapter 2: These two finally met
"Come on, Lao Pao~"
The faces of the old soldiers watching the fun were very grim, but they still cheered for Zheng Sanpao loudly. If the best among them were killed on the first day of the new training, how would they carry out their future training?
But the veterans' cheering was not very confident. After all, they were not blind and could see that Jiang Shui, who had already opened up half a circle, was still walking with firm steps and his breath was much steadier than Zheng Sanpao's.
“Pah~Pah~Pah~~~”
Zheng Sanpao's feet made rhythmic sounds when stepping on the ground. He was wearing leather shoes, which were not as comfortable for running five kilometers as the rubber shoes worn by Jiang Shui, Zhuang Yan and others. However, Zheng Sanpao did not care about this difficulty at all and was still trying hard to catch up with Jiang Shui.
Even as he watched the distance between him and the river getting farther and farther, no other emotions could be seen on his face. He only ran forward with determination.
As time goes by.
The speed of the river water remained constant, which made the veterans watching a little unbelievable.
You must know that from the moment the river water started running until now, it has never slowed down.
"Fuck~He's here again~"
The lagging recruits stared in amazement at the river water that was encircling them again.
"How many laps have we taken?"
“6 laps!”
"What about him?"
"You've got us twice!"
"This beast~"
"He still has half a lap left~"
"The squad leader has caught up too~"
"Xiao Zhuang, come on~"
“…”
Amid the various voices of the already exhausted recruits , Zheng Sanpao and Zhuang Yan, who still had one lap left, began to speed up again. At this moment, Zheng Sanpao no longer had the intention of catching up with Jiang Shui, but instead focused all his attention on suppressing Zhuang Yan who was following closely behind him.
Because he had tried his best, there was no hope of catching up with Jiang Shui. Instead, Zhuang Yan was always following him no matter how fast he accelerated. This made Zheng Sanpao feel a sense of crisis.
After all, Jiang Shui must have extraordinary abilities to be able to join the army for the second time, and Zheng Sanpao could understand that.
But the new recruit Zhuang Yan was actually going to surpass him, which made Zheng Sanpao feel uncomfortable.
Rush~
Zheng Sanpao ran towards the finish line with all his might.
When Zheng Sanpao and Zhuang Yan were still half a lap away from the finish line.
Jiang Shui stood at the finish line with a somewhat disordered breath.
For him, the five-kilometer unarmed race was just a warm-up. Even though he beat Zheng Sanpao, he did not feel proud or complacent.
After all, the training the original owner had experienced was even more terrifying.
The veterans looked at Jiang Shui with fiery eyes. This new soldier wanted it so much.
"It seems that the Night Tiger Scouting Company has gained another top talent~"
"This guy is more than just a top student, he is the best soldier, right?"
"If this continues, what will our company do?"
"What should we do? Just ignore it. Even if he is such a good soldier, the superiors are not confident in placing him in another company!"
"That's true. Soldiers like this can only be admired from afar~~~"
Amid the veterans' whispers, new changes emerged on the training ground.
"Come on, Xiaozhuang~"
Chen Xiwa and others discovered Zhuang Yan competing with Zheng Sanpao, and they hurriedly tried to shout loudly.
Just when Zheng Sanpao and Zhuang Yan turned the last corner, Zhuang Yan, who had been lagging behind for the entire five kilometers, actually overtook Zheng Sanpao at the moment of the turn and reached the finish line.
People here don't know that when Zhuang Yan was a child and a teenager, he would complete a cross-country run across the city almost every day. The distance he ran was far greater than Zheng Sanpao's training in the army.
All the veterans looked at this scene with grim expressions.
Zheng Sanpao was suppressed, which means that if they took over, they would not be able to reach five kilometers either.
"Fuck! Why are the new recruits this year so perverted?"
"Who said it wasn't true? It's understandable that a second-time soldier crushed the old gun, but now a new soldier is suppressing the old gun. This year's new training work is so difficult~~~"
"Fortunately, they are not my soldiers, otherwise I would be worried to death!"
"Tsk, someone like you will probably have to be the squad leader!"
"Nonsense! Even if I pluck out a hair from my head, it won't be enough for him to learn!"
"What hair?"
"???"
Both the new recruits and the veterans had different reactions to such a scene, making the training ground look chaotic.
“Beep~~~”
A long, shrill whistle sounded, silencing the entire training ground.
"Take it back, each class!"
The recruit company commander gave the order very happily, and under the leadership of the squad leaders, the excited recruits were brought back to the dormitory.
"I want that soldier's information!"
At the training ground of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company nearby, Lian Miao, who was watching the whole process with a telescope, unexpectedly saw the outstanding performance of Zhuang Yan. He was delighted to see the prey and immediately gave the order.
Jiang Shui, what Miao Lian saw was a soldier who had already found his own way.
And Zhuang Yan is an unpolished jade.
The river water feels like a cooked duck, and all you need to do is taste it.
Comparing the two, Miao Lian means more to Zhuang Yan. After all, the soldiers trained by himself give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
"yes!"
A sergeant behind him responded, turned around and walked away quickly.
…
Class 1 dormitory.
Chen Xiwa and others collapsed on the ground, rubbing their trembling legs with their hands. They listened to Jiang Shui's words and did not give up halfway, but forced themselves to complete the first five kilometers since arriving at the army.
Zheng Sanpao did not continue to bother this group of new recruits, but the look he gave Zhuang Yan from time to time showed that this third-term non-commissioned officer veteran was not at peace.
And Zhuang Yan, with a look of dissatisfaction and indignation, confronted Zheng Sanpao.
Jiang Shui glanced at them from time to time and sighed helplessly in his heart: These two people are finally facing each other!
After the recruits had rested, Zheng Sanpao officially started the training.
After all, Zheng Sanpao came here not to compete with Zhuang Yan, but to train new recruits.
The first item: inspection.
Just check everything the recruits bring.
During the recruit period, in order to help the recruits maintain habits, all things that are not related to the army must be put away separately. If the recruits want to see these things again, they can only wait until the end of the training and the assignment to the company, and then these things will return to them.
The second item is to cut the hair of new recruits whose hairstyle does not meet the standards.
They are all standard 3mm.
Strictly follow the PLA regulations and the hair length under the brim of the hat must not exceed 1.5 cm.
Of course, except Jiang Shui, the other recruits didn't know anything about the regulations.
Moreover, Jiang Shui had already had his hair cut before joining the army, so it was a relief for him here as he didn't have to go get a haircut.
When Zheng Sanpao returned to the class with the new recruits who had already had their haircuts.
Jiang Shui's personal belongings have been put away.
I wet the towel slightly and placed it over the washbasin. I pinched the edges of the basin to create edges, and then placed the toothpaste, toothbrush, toothtray, etc. neatly in the basin.
At this time, Jiang Shui was repairing the quilt.
With both hands, I kept pinching the edge of the quilt back and forth. Corners slowly appeared on the edge of the quilt, and the entire quilt was trying to change into a tofu block.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Sanpao nodded secretly. This river water is really worry-free.
"Come here, everyone, and learn how to fold a quilt from me!"
Ignoring the river water, Zheng Sanpao began to lead the other recruits in folding quilts.
From how to fold it in half, to how to trim the edges, and then to how to shape it, Zheng Sanpao taught very patiently.
Don’t underestimate folding the quilt as a very common thing.
But in the army, a quilt can largely reflect the quality of a soldier.
It's just like if you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean the world?
If a soldier can't even fold his own quilt, it's hard to make others believe how good this soldier is!
