Chapter 86 The first event of the competition, the five-kilometer battle
Under the call of the district captain, each division of the Lu Academy changed into a column and began to gather towards the training ground.
More than 600 people from the Martial Arts Academy also gathered at the training ground with the team.
The two teams of students from the two colleges merged, and there was a huge crowd, a large team of more than 2,000 people.
The number is as large as an infantry regiment.
The scene is quite spectacular.
As for Chen Jun, he no longer paid attention to the situation on Lao Geng's side.
Regardless of his relationship in his previous life, his main goal now is to win the first prize in this competition and overwhelm all the contestants from both houses.
Live up to the hard training of more than a month.
When all the people gathered in the open space in front of the flag-raising platform, the teams of Lu Yuan and Wu Yuan were separated by a distance of five or six meters.
They stared at each other like water and fire, and the tense atmosphere was stirred up again.
Since Chen Jun and the others are in the same division, the queues are arranged at the edge, naturally across the road from the Wuyuan.
They are all half-grown-up young men, and each one is more angry than the other.
The battle hasn't even started yet, but the people from the first division and the martial arts academy are already at war with each other mentally.
Yang Fan even raised his middle finger covertly at a strong student from the martial arts academy and muttered: "Look at you like that, I'll kick your balls in a while."
< br>
The other party also showed no signs of weakness, baring his teeth and glaring in a threatening manner.
This made Chen Jun next to him quite dumbfounded. The person Yang Fan usually dared not provoke in the class was Liang Kui.
Because Lao Liang is so big, he can’t do it.
I didn’t think it was time to compete, but this guy became brave instead, specifically picking out people with a similar build to Liang Kui to challenge him.
The monitors and leading instructors of both houses realized that something was wrong here, but no one stopped them.
As long as the commotion is not excessive and the soldiers have some blood and the spirit to fight to the end, it is naturally a good phenomenon.
I waited for about five or six minutes.
The captain of the first division, together with the chief instructor of the Wuyuan team, walked up to the flag-raising platform.
Li Zhao held a loudspeaker in his hand and took the lead in shouting: "Students, please be quiet."
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Zhao. I am Lu Yuan." Captain of the First Division, I am here to represent the Lu Academy and welcome the students from the Martial Arts Academy.”
With the convening of the conference, all kinds of small movements in the queue in the audience finally stopped. Everyone straightened their backs and looked forward.
Ready for action.
"Today is the most lively day in our two hospitals. New comrades from all over the world have gathered here. We are all determined to join the army since we were admitted to the hospital."
"You have been working hard, through thick and thin, Under the scorching sun, we shed hard work and sweat in just forty days of adjustment and training.”
“We were able to overcome various adverse factors and persist until today. This is a leap in itself.”
"Everyone has come together for the same belief, the same belief, and today, we must turn this belief, this belief into our strength."
"A kind of flourishing, delineating Break the sky and move forward bravely."
"Come and join the next competition."
"Students, are you ready?"
"Time. Be prepared! Always be prepared!”
Perhaps it was because students from both colleges were present, and they were competing with each other to see whose voice was louder.
The response was unprecedentedly high, like thunder on the ground, making people's ears buzz.
Then, the chief instructor of the martial arts academy took over the loudspeaker and glanced at everyone in the audience with a sharp gaze.
He seems to be playing a black-faced role, and his words are not as kind and high-spirited as Li Zhao.
Instead, he said in a low voice and with a bit of generosity: "Captain Li just said it, I hope everyone will remember it."
"First, let me introduce myself to the comrades in the Lu Academy. My surname is Geng, Geng Weidong. You can call me Instructor Geng."
Old Geng, this guy, Chen Jun stared at the figure on the stage and couldn't help but He twitched the corner of his mouth.
“The competition is to verify your recent achievements. Some people used to say that soldiers are great defenders of the people, the cornerstone of national defense, and the guardians of the border.”
“Some people also said that soldiers are the great defenders of the people. I want to be a strong shield for the country and the world, and everyone should be like this; soldiers should be guards with swords to protect them, tonight and every night."
"But let me say, it is too early to talk about guards. , saying that you guardians are not strong enough, a soldier is first and foremost a warrior, a warrior who has fought through mud, pain, and sweat.”
"No one's honor comes by chance, and no one's achievements are obtained by luck. There is no honor that is waiting for, only the glory that is earned."
"Comrades, are you ready? "
"Always ready! Always ready!"
Another high-spirited response completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire training ground.
Li Zhao took the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Okay, all district teams and squadrons are ready."
"Now I announce that the competition between the two colleges in 2012 has officially begun. Everyone is here to set off in five columns, aiming at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain."
Tap tap tap.
Neatly and orderly The sound of footsteps came, and the formations that had been gathered together began to separate.
One team after another clenched their fists and trotted all the way.
While the personnel were leaving, Li Zhao's voice came again from the radio throughout the Lu Academy.
"The first competition subject is the five-kilometer battle."
"Many students may not know what the five-kilometer battle is. Let me explain to you that this is an armed cross-country combination training."
“When you get to the starting point of the competition venue, someone will check each of your water bottles, satchels, backpacks and other weights.”
“All personnel are required to be fully armed and complete a three-kilometer armed cross-country run first, and then There are also 500 meters of running with gas masks and 100 meters of crawling. There are logs prepared for you at the end of the crawling phase. "
"Everyone carries one and runs until the end."
"Remember, the first subject is an elimination system. Only the 1,000 people who arrive at the finish line first will be retained. All students who arrive later will withdraw from this competition."
As soon as the announcement sounded, there were There were surprised comments.
Five kilometers of fighting is much more difficult than five kilometers of armed off-roading.
Even Chen Jun couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard it. No wonder the district captain kept reminding him that this was a test of blood and fire, and he was really playing hard.
There are only more than 2,000 people in the two houses, and half of them will be killed in the first item. If you calculate it this way, it is as Wang Heng said.
There were elimination subjects all morning, wouldn’t there be only one or two hundred people left by the afternoon?
With this kind of arrangement, I’m afraid many people will have to do their best later.
Five kilometers of armed cross-country travel is considered the physical limit of most Lu Academy students.
What's more, it's a five-kilometer battle.
You know how to play! !
Chen Jun shook his head, pulled the backpack behind him and followed the queue.
"How cruel, are you going to eliminate a thousand people in the first item?" He Jing listened to the announcement on the radio.
He is not as calm as Chen Jun and is more worried about his own performance.
This subject elimination system has no impact on students who usually perform well and whose training scores are always at the top. For example, Chen Jun, he is not worried at all that he will be eliminated.
I have never considered this aspect.
The impact on his usual poor performance is not big, just like Yang Fan, this guy has a calm and normal attitude, as if he didn't hear the broadcast.
Because, he doesn't have to worry about being within a thousand. He is not even ranked in the middle of the group of students in this academy, not to mention that there are now more than 600 people in the martial arts academy. Thinking so much is just asking for trouble.
People are self-aware.
Only people like Liang Kui and He Jing, who are at the middle level, are struggling.
"Hurry up, hurry up, keep up with the others behind."
After the fifth column left the base gate, the pickets from the Lu Yuan began to lead the team from the front.
On the Lu Yuan side are the leaders of each class of the first team of the first division, and the people from the Wu Yuan follow in a column, side by side.
The only difference is that the martial arts academy has a flag. When they first arrived, the height was higher than the flag on the wall.
The flag was fluttering in the wind, and the words "First Mobile Squadron" occupied the main view of the front team, making it seem as if the people from Lu Yuan were also from their first squadron.
Although there were five columns, they only occupied one column, but their momentum overwhelmed the other four columns.
From Chen Jun's position, he happened to be able to see clearly. He didn't pay too much attention and just observed the terrain of Zhongnan Mountain ahead.
But other people in the class didn’t like it.
Yang Fan stretched out his elbow, poked Chen Jun, and said angrily: "Deputy squad leader, look at those gangsters in the martial arts academy, they are really annoying."
"You must join us later. Work hard and defeat them.”
"Okay!"
Chen Jun didn't even pay attention to what Yang Fan said, so he nodded in agreement.
Their new training base itself is at the foot of the mountain. At this time, a large number of troops have arrived at the competition venue selected by the school in advance.
The rugged terrain at the foot of the mountain is the best place for cross-country running. The senior veteran of the Lu Academy just randomly drew a few white lines on the ground as the starting point.
Ahead, hundreds of pickets are checking the weight of each student.
"Everyone has it. Before entering the competition venue, you should check your equipment."
"Look inside the backpack, quilts, bedding, spare shoes, spare military uniforms, washbasins, cups, and cleaning supplies. Have you brought enough?”
“The gun, bullet belt, helmet, water bottle must be full of water, the raincoat in the satchel, and the gas mask in the bag must be packed together.”
"If we check that you don't have it with you, then you have no choice but to go back and get it, and you will waste your own time."
"Before you enter the venue yet, hurry up and check yourself. There is still time."
Following the loud reminder from the pickets, Chen Jun and the others quickly took off their backpacks and began to check their belongings.
The students from the martial arts academy did not move. They came directly from the outdoor training and brought all their things with them, so they were not afraid of this kind of on-the-spot inspection.
While Chen Jun was checking his belongings, Wang Heng, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly ran over from behind and squeezed into the queue.
He gasped and said: "I guessed wrong just now. This is not a five-kilometer cross-country, it is more difficult than a five-kilometer cross-country."
"I'm not worried about other people. , I want to give you a few words of advice.”
Wang Heng said, looked at Chen Jun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered: "You are the class deputy. I also see how you perform in the class."
" You take good care of your roommates. This is your duty as the class deputy. I can't fault you, but today is a competition."
"You have to distinguish the priorities. This is a competition field, not a battlefield. Put it down first. Even if our Lu Yuan, our class, He Jing, Liang Kui, Yang Fan, etc. fall down later, they may not be able to hold on."
"As long as your life is not in danger, don't worry about it, don't delay. Your own rhythm of the game."
"Remember." Wang Heng looked at Chen Jun worriedly.
"If you can get good grades, this is your honor. Maybe no one in our class can accompany you to the end today."
"But you must persist, all of us will cheer you up."
“Do you understand?”
Looking at Wang Heng running all the way from the base out of breath, he had to find himself in a team of thousands of people just to give these words to Wang Heng. .
Chen Jun nodded solemnly. Their squad leader may have many problems and is still very naive most of the time, but he is only a young man in his early twenties.
If you can do this, you are at least a qualified squad leader.
After Wang Heng finished his explanation, he didn’t stay too long. He looked back at the few people he had brought out, and then squeezed out of the crowd.
The passionate young man, He Jing, Liang Kui and Shen Congjun saw the squad leader with a somewhat forlorn figure from behind.
When the competition is over, their new training will basically be over.
At that time, they didn’t have much contact with the squad leader.
Several people sighed deeply.
"Monitor, to be honest, I regret not listening to the squad leader's instructions and practicing hard during the new training. It would be great if I could grit my teeth and overcome my laziness when you get up early." Liang Kui felt ashamed. Said.
"I regret it too, hey." He Jing's eyes flickered and he fell silent after saying a word.
Seeing the competition approaching, the mood in the class dropped.
Chen Jun smiled and said: "What are you doing one by one? There is nothing you regret."
"The competition is a relay. Who can compete with Wuyuan?"
"Let's go, brothers, there is still a long way to go. Let's compete first and then decide whether we can do it or not."
"Yes. , fuck him." Yang Fan echoed.
The fighting spirit of Class One was mobilized again.
Several people successfully passed the picket inspection and stood at the starting point to make final warm-up preparations.
Chen Jun was not influenced by Wang Heng. This does not mean that he is impersonal.
Because he understands this truth.
For the sake of collective honor, everyone must relay. In this competition with Wu Yuan, Lu Yuan is a collective.
The ultimate goal is to get a good ranking and not be looked down upon by the martial arts academy.
While waiting, Chen Jun carefully observed the competition field. Due to the rugged mountain road, his line of sight was blocked, and he could not see very far.
But his intuition told him that this race was probably going to be a battle between dragons and tigers. It was only five kilometers long, and no matter how difficult it was, he had to grab the top position.
His goal is not to be the last one to enter without being eliminated. In a competition with thousands of people, no one cares who you are in second place.
Since ancient times, only the first has attracted attention.
This is his goal.
“Bang!”
No warning, no reminder.
The starting gun suddenly sounded.
The crowd began to surge throughout the competition, and the competition did not require classes as a unit.
He briefly looked back.
He stretched out his hand to tighten the backpack rope on his body to prevent it from shaking too much, and his body began to rush forward like an arrow.
Chen Jun was a celebrity in Luyuan, and everyone knew him. Watching him sprint, the surging crowd began to make way for him, and they took the initiative to help Chen Jun rush to the front.
Everyone in the Lu Academy knows him, but the people in the Wu Academy don’t know him.
Immediately, several martial arts students in the queue noticed the movement here.
And quietly approached, trying to block Chen Jun's sprint.
