Chapter 3 Training Begins
Six o'clock in the morning.
“Beep, beep, beep~~~”
The wake-up whistle sounded on time in the camp of the recruit company.
With a "swoosh" sound.
Jiang Shui, who was sleeping, subconsciously crawled out of the warm bed quickly, put on his pants quickly, fastened his trouser pockets, picked up his training uniform shirt from the bed, and walked out.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, it's time to assemble!"
As he walked, he kept reminding everyone who was sleeping, and put his unbuttoned shirt over his head. This was his habit, as it allowed him to get faster.
The moment he walked out of the dormitory, Jiang Shui saw a vast expanse of white scenery in front of him.
“It’s snowing~”
Jiang Shui was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to stand in front of Zheng Sanpao.
Zheng Sanpao looked at Jiang Shui, who was already dressed neatly and standing in front of him, and felt helpless. This "new recruit" who was joining the army for the second time did not need any training from him. In two days, Zheng Sanpao could not find any faults with him.
Before the wake-up whistle was blown just now, Zheng Sanpao observed in the dormitory for a long time and found that all the recruits, including Jiang Shui, were sleeping soundly.
Zheng Sanpao loves and hates Jiang Shui. He loves that Jiang Shui has a solid foundation and is a completely qualified veteran. But he hates that what do you want me, a squad leader of new recruits, to do?
The squad leaders and backbone members who were waiting outside looked at Jiang Shui, the first one to come out, and praised him secretly at the same time. They could only envy him.
After waiting for a few minutes, new recruits began to emerge from the dormitory one after another, with their hazy eyes open and a strong sense of sleepiness on their bodies, as if the fact that they could get up was a good performance.
In Class 1, Zhuang Yan and other new recruits automatically stood beside the river according to their height.
It took about ten minutes for the recruits to complete their first morning exercise assembly.
Facing the heavy snow, Zheng Sanpao glanced at the sleepy Zhuang Yan and others, which formed a sharp contrast with Jiang Shui who was standing at the front of the line in high spirits.
This time, Zheng Sanpao didn't say much. He organized the team and started running exercises with Jiang Shui and others on the training ground.
Since they had just run five kilometers yesterday, Chen Xiwa and others were not yet used to the running. They started breathing heavily after running just over a lap.
After a simple run of a few laps and some adaptive training, I returned home to tidy up the room and have breakfast.
During this period of time, the veterans of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company quickly came to the training ground of the recruit company and began to clear the snow.
When the time came to after eight o'clock.
All the new recruits gathered at the training ground. The snow on the ground had been cleared and the veterans of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company had already returned.
"Comrade Company Commander, the new recruits have assembled before training. There should be 141 people, and there are 141 people actually present. Please give your instructions!"
The company duty officer stood at the front of the team and reported to the recruit company commander.
"Proceed as planned!" The company commander of recruits issued the training order.
"yes!"
The company duty officer turned to face the recruits and began issuing orders: "Divide the area and lead the platoons!"
"One row, turn right, run and go!"
"Second row, turn right, run!"
"Three rows, turn left, run and go!"
"Fourth row, turn left, run and walk!"
When each platoon was brought to the designated training ground, similar reports were made, and the classes were separated again, with each class standing in a position.
The training officially began.
Class one.
"River water!" Zheng Sanpao's gaze turned to the river water.
"Here~"
The loud sound of the river spread.
"Step out!"
"yes!"
Zheng Sanpao motioned Jiang Shui to stand next to him.
Jiang Shui estimated the approximate distance between the two people with the corner of his eye, turned around, took five steps, came to Zheng Sanpao's side, turned around, and stood still.
"Now, Jiang Shui will do the movements. I will explain to you the key points of standing at attention, and you can follow along!"
Zheng Sanpao went straight to the point and expressed his ideas directly.
Zhuang Yan and others looked towards the river.
Zheng Sanpao stretched out his hand and pointed to the corresponding body parts of Jiang Shui while explaining:
"Put your heels together and align them, with your toes pointing outward about 60 degrees. Straighten your legs. Slightly pull in your abdomen and naturally lift your chest. Keep your upper body upright and slightly lean forward. Keep your shoulders level and slightly stretched back. Let your arms hang naturally, with your fingers together and slightly bent. The tip of your thumb should be on the second section of your index finger, and your middle finger should be on the seam of your pants. Keep your head straight, your neck straight, your mouth closed, your lower jaw slightly retracted, and your eyes looking straight ahead."
Jiang Shui adjusted his body as Zheng Sanpao explained. When Zheng Sanpao finished speaking, Jiang Shui stood in front of Zhuang Yan and others in a standard military posture.
Zhuang Yan and others were experiencing it silently, trying to find the posture that made them feel most comfortable.
Zheng Sanpao walked behind the recruits and helped them adjust their posture.
"Hold your arms tight, use force, yes!"
"Left shoulder lower, good!"
"Hands, put together!"
"Pull your legs hard and straighten them. Just like that, hold on~"
“…”
Zheng Sanpao patiently adjusted the recruits one by one, then returned to the front of the team and checked Jiang Shui's military posture. There was no problem and it was very standard.
Zheng Sanpao stood beside Jiang Shui, looked at Zhuang Yan and others, and started chatting with Jiang Shui in a low voice.
"You quit after your first conscription?"
"Yes!" Jiang Shui also spoke softly.
"Why?" Zheng Sanpao couldn't understand. From yesterday until now, Zheng Sanpao has been paying attention to Jiang Shui. Zheng Sanpao felt that he was not as good as Jiang Shui in terms of the military qualities displayed by Jiang Shui.
Even though I have been in the army longer than the length of the river.
"It's because of my personality!" Jiang Shui pursed his lips. There was nothing to hide.
Zheng Sanpao did not ask further, but raised a new question: "Why are you here again?"
"I want to change myself!" Jiang Shui answered in a high-sounding manner. I can't say that I traveled through time and space and want to be a soldier, so why not just go to the dissection table directly!
"What kind of troops were you in before?"
"Armored Reconnaissance Company!"
"Scout?" Zheng Sanpao was even more surprised. They were actually in the same profession. He had a better idea about the future training. After all, considering Jiang Shui's situation, it was truly like God had sent him a new training assistant.
Although he doesn't need it, it will definitely make the training a lot easier and give the recruits a more intuitive experience.
"Yes!" Jiang Shui responded. He felt regretful in his heart. He regretted that he had not traveled through time earlier. He could only recall the days in the 7th Steel Company based on the original owner's memory.
