Chapter 580 Junior Year, Confirming the Competition Date (Asking for Subscription, Asking for Support)
"Hurry, hurry, swim!
The last trip, you can go ashore after you finish swimming!"
A small reservoir, there is a bridge on the downstream canal less than 100 meters away from the water gate.
And now, Du Xiang on the bridge is yelling.
And in the water in front of him, there are twelve figures, wearing clothes and floundering in the water with ropes connected to the railings on the bridge.
Practicing swimming, but this is not a conventional practice, not even in rivers.
It is to find a small reservoir in the township around Luyuan. After communication, let open a gate to start releasing water.
Then when the water rushes down, they wrap the rope around their waists and hang people in the water upstream.
"These children are so pitiful, how can there be such a training method!"
"That's right, you can't be a soldier like this, right? It's too scary. The water is so fast, how can you swim?"
"It's been almost half an hour in the water. Are they really training?"
On the bridge, there are more than just Du Xiang and Wen Ming, the military doctor.
There are still people on the bridge now.
This bridge is the only way from a township to the town here.
There are soldiers training here now, and the villagers passing by will naturally stop and watch curiously.
This is also the main reason why Du Xiang is very gentle even when he shouts, and he never swears.
After all, there are villagers here, so he should pay attention to the impact.
And it's not just about swearing.
There are also big adjustments in the training time.
According to the previous training intensity, there is no subject that allows you to go ashore to rest for a while in half an hour before going down to continue.
Any subject takes at least one hour.
But now, every half an hour, Du Xiang will call a halt and let everyone go ashore to rest for ten minutes.
They are afraid that the training will be too intense, and the villagers will see it, and then take photos and spread it out, affecting the image of the army and disrupting the recruitment plan.
"I am so eager to start school now?"
After the last trip of this half-hour, Li Qingsheng lay on the grass on the shore after going ashore, mumbling weakly.
On the side, another junior student also spoke weakly: "Don't think about relaxing at the beginning of the school. You have to prepare for the war to get a place at the beginning of the school. It will only be more tense!"
After he said this, another junior student on the side immediately tilted his head and smiled: "And you are a junior this year, it's even harder, undergraduate evaluation, professional learning, and now you have to train!"
"Don't say it, I don't want to hear this now, let me empty my mind and fully enjoy these ten minutes!" On the side, another sophomore student said this very weakly.
One by one, even Wang Ye, is now exhausted.
He is physically strong, but he needs to maintain his absolute first advantage, so he must work harder.
So, even he is now lying on the ground and looking up at the sky.
Winning glory for the country is a beautiful vision, but the effort required is unknown to outsiders.
Just like now, other students are enjoying a wonderful summer vacation at home, and some may even be in love with their girlfriends in their hometown.
And what about them?
Wang Ye has been out of touch with Lin Wei for eight days.
Eight days ago, they walked out of the school fully armed, and have not returned since then.
They eat, sleep and train outside.
"Okay, it's time to rest, get ready to go into the water!"
Suddenly, Du Xiang, who came down from the bridge, began to shout.
This made the trainees of the training team instantly make painful sounds.
However, no matter how painful it was, no one could not speak up.
Everyone chose to participate in the training camp, and they stayed after going through untold hardships.
Now, no matter how hard and tired it is, even if they have to kneel, they have to kneel to complete this training journey.
"Plop~"
"Plop~!"
The sound of going into the water came one after another.
Another half an hour, everyone felt that it was extremely slow, the kind that passed in seconds.
But after getting ashore, ten minutes felt like a fast-forward button was installed, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Just like that, resting and stopping, finally, Du Xiang said that today's training was over.
For a while, everyone who got ashore again breathed a sigh of relief.
"MD, it's finally over!" Someone panted heavily, lying on the ground and sighing to the sky.
Wang Ye, who was just sitting on the ground to rest, saw him like this and wanted to stimulate him.
He immediately laughed and said, "Don't be happy, there's still tomorrow!"
"Ah!"
On the shore, the people who had collapsed on the ground after climbing up couldn't hold back after hearing this.
Some people couldn't help but look at Wang Ye and ask, "Captain, how many days will this training last?"
Wang Ye had water drops on his face. When he heard his question, he smiled and looked over: "No, I'll shoot tomorrow, but I'll definitely come back in two days!"
This training is to prepare for the rope bridge project and the armed swimming that may be arranged suddenly.
Swimming and fighting against rapids are definitely the most training methods.
And this is also the training method proposed by Wang Ye.
Of course, the team members on the side didn't know that the blame was still on the instructor Du Xiang.
However, now everyone on the side heard Wang Ye say that they didn't need to swim tomorrow, but would go to shoot.
For a while, no one was excited at all, and some even looked more bitter.
Shooting!
It's better to swim.
Swimming is just physically tiring, but I have to say that on a hot day like this, soaking in the water is actually quite cool.
Because there were fellow villagers watching, the instructor Du Xiang was also very gentle, and he didn't say a word of cursing for the whole afternoon.
Can we go to the shooting range?
Well, everyone has shot many times this summer vacation.
And this is definitely the training that everyone least wants to accept.
Pressing bullets, the fingers are red and swollen.
Disassembling the gun, the fingers are trembling.
And shooting, the recoil of the gun makes the shoulders hurt, and there are also gunshots.
Gun wife, this is the attitude of soldiers towards guns, but now every member of the training team hopes that this gun wife can go back to her parents' home for a while, even for a week.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
Throughout the summer vacation, except for the time when we were in school before, we could be separated from the gun wife for a short time at night. At other times, especially now that we have left school, everyone has to hold the gun even when they sleep.
Time passes again.
The training team trains almost day and night.
Until the next school, everyone is just as expected before, and it will only be more miserable.
Especially the third-year students such as Wang Ye.
Just after entering the third year, the team was changed to a simulated company. There were many things to do. Classes were re-divided according to majors, the district team was changed to platoon leaders, and company commanders and instructors were set up, all of which were held by students.
Fortunately, Wang Ye doesn't have to worry about this now.
In the first half of the year, not long after he started training, he was relieved of his position as district captain.
There is no time to take care of these things.
And it is the same now.
If there is no training, Wang Ye will definitely directly serve as the company commander of the simulated company.
But now, Wang Ye has re-disbanded Class 7 and redistributed and adjusted the dormitories, so he has no time to take care of it too much.
Even Wang Ye and Li Qingsheng didn't encounter this matter at all.
The two days of free classes at the beginning of the school were fully utilized by Du Xiang, and when Wang Ye and his friends returned to the dormitory after training, they found out that his things and bed had been moved to other classes.
Wang Ye is in Class 1.
And Li Qingsheng is in Class 9.
"The date has been set. On October 10, after National Day, we will go to Polytechnic University to participate in the competition and compete for the quota to represent our military academies in the West Point competition next year!"
At the end of August, the minister called Wang Ye and Du Xiang to the office and said this to the two directly.
Wang Ye didn't say anything. After the start of school, the competition will start soon. They knew about the quota of the representative team last semester.
It's just that the specific date was not clear at that time.
"After National Day? That's enough time, but we can't go directly to participate at that time, right?" Du Xiang looked at the minister and said quickly: "Chief, can you go there some time in advance to familiarize yourself with their venue?"
Fighting away from home, this away factor will definitely affect the results of the competition. If you are not familiar with the competition venue of their Polytechnic University at all, you will definitely suffer at that time.
"Well, it's OK!" The minister nodded and said, "We have already discussed this. We will go to the Polytechnic University during the National Day holiday. During that time, we will train with the Polytechnic University together until the date of the competition."
After a pause, the minister spoke again: "This competition completely simulates the competition rules at West Point.
In other words, they may change the project at any time, or add some competition items, or even deliberately change the venue.
We are playing away from home, and the disadvantage is obvious.
But, I don't want to care about these. I just want to ask you now, are you confident?"
The minister stared at the two people in front of him.
"Yes!"
Wang Ye and Du Xiang responded loudly in unison.
"Very good, I have confidence in you too!" At this point, he looked at Wang Ye: "Especially you, Wang Ye, you are the record holder of the whole army, the top ten model soldiers of the whole army, and the first-class meritorious person. Although I don't want to add pressure to you, I believe you can handle it."
After a pause, the minister smiled and asked again: "How is it?
Captain Wang, are you sure you can take me abroad to see it!"
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!"
Wang Ye stood at attention and saluted, responding loudly.
Confidence, Wang Ye naturally has some.
Although this is not an individual competition, it is a team competition, and he is also a part of the team.
As long as the others perform normally, then the individual in his group is the key to victory.
And Wang Ye is confident that he can crush anyone from other military academies.
