Special Years

Chapter 1042: swimming

In the golden autumn of October, although the weather has not cooled down, the sea water in the early morning is still very cold.

From the beach on the southeast side of the reconnaissance camp to Shiratori Island, there is a sea route of 7 kilometers.

It is an almost uninhabited island, because every winter, many red-billed gulls fly from Siberia to all parts of southern China to escape the cold, and this island is one of their favorite islands.

The total area of ​​Shiratori Island is about 56 square kilometers. There are many mountains on the island. Fresh water is not without, but it is very scarce. There is only a natural spring on the mountain in the center. It is said that even if a well is built, the water that comes out is Salty, not suitable for long-term living.

Because the supply of fresh water is relatively difficult and transportation is inconvenient, in the past when the enemy was tense, a platoon of troops was stationed there, relying on transporting supplies from the land side for security.

Occasionally passing fishermen will stop there if there is any emergency, go to the only spring to get some fresh water, or temporarily dock there to take shelter before the storm comes, take a nap and wait for the wind and rain to pass before heading out to sea.

After the reform and opening up in the 1980s, it became a technical site, and only one class remained on it. However, this class is under the establishment of the F provincial military region, and is usually under the jurisdiction of the Linhai Division, not under the management of the 4th Division, so there is not much interaction between everyone.

The reconnaissance battalion often uses it as a field training base, especially as an amphibious combat unit, and must learn to survive on a desert island, and there is no better location for desert island survival training than Shiratori Island.

Han Bean Sprout slid his hands and feet and kept swimming forward.

His movement is similar to breaststroke, but not the standard breaststroke, more or less like a dog crawling.

But this is the cheapest way.

Anyway, swimming will never limit your swimming style. As long as you think you are best at what you are best at and what is the most labor-saving movement, you can use it as much as you can, and keep up with the team and not fall behind.

Because you have to swim 7 kilometers, you must arrange your physical strength reasonably.

The 3 platoons of the 1st Company formed 3 detachments, all in a single column formation.

This kind of formation has the advantage that the people with the best swimming ability can be placed at the front, especially the leaders who play a very crucial role in the entire column—opening the waves.

The first person in charge of taking the lead cuts the water, and the waves will also hit him, and the people who follow will save effort as they go back.

However, the crew of the wave must be replaced at regular intervals, from the soldiers or officers of the leading wave group.

If one person is responsible for making waves from the beginning to the end, it will be exhausted, which is not in line with the principle of collective warfare.

When preparing on the shore, everyone simply bundled their life jackets and rucksacks. The materials in the rucksack are also easily packed with raincloths and bundled with life jackets, creating a relatively large buoyancy.

Then tie these two things to yourself, drag them away when swimming, and use them as a swimming ring.

Han Bean Sprout looked at the waterproof watch on his wrist, which had a simple GPS positioning.

In terms of location, it was about a kilometer away.

Under normal circumstances, the 10,000-meter armed swimming has to go through three fatigue tests. One is the initial small fatigue when swimming to 1,500 meters, the second is mid-term fatigue when swimming to 4,500 meters, and the third is swimming to 1,500 meters. At seven kilometers, there will be a large fatigue in the later stage.

As long as you carry it over, you will feel a lot more comfortable afterwards.

This time we only need to swim for 7 kilometers, so when the second fatigue pass first appeared, we should have almost arrived at Shiratori Island.

He is a little tired.

Open waves are not good.

He also carried a 95 automatic rifle on his back, and dragging the large rucksack was very laborious.

When a wave hit, Han Bean Sprout accidentally choked on his saliva and coughed violently a few times in the water.

"A row leader, are you alright?"

The solemn, who was also swimming, turned around and stopped in the water to look at Han Bean Sprouts.

"It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally choked on my saliva."

Zhuang Yan said: "If you can't do it, change the person. I'll do it."

After that, swim over to take Han Xiaobei's place.

The security speedboat next to him approached.

On the bow of the boat, the instructor Zhao Huanbin was wearing a camouflage uniform and a Bonnie hat. There were also the correspondents of the company headquarters, the hygienists of the battalion headquarters, and the squad leader of the public service class.

"What happened?"

Zhao Huanbin was a little nervous.

From the bottom of my heart, Zhao Huanbin is actually against such a desperate practice.

How strong is this?

Is this the strength of a scout?

But he knew that his objections were invalid.

The solemn training mode has also proved to be effective. Not only did he take the second overall score in the delta wing competition, but he also won the affirmation of the division commander Jiang Jinlin and the persistence of the battalion commander Tang Wenkai.

Just like just now, before going into the water, I saw Zhuang Yan rolling up his trousers and sleeves, and couldn't help being surprised.

When I came forward and asked, I realized that Zhuang Yan would also swim with the soldiers.

"I said...you have a dignified deputy company commander, is it necessary? You are the organizer of the training, and there is no need to swim with the soldiers." Zhao Huanbin couldn't understand the solemn thoughts.

Of course Zhuang Yan understood what Zhao Huanbin meant, but he had his own ideas.

"Instructor, I can't help it."

He shook his head and said in a half-joking tone.

"What can I do? It's not the battalion commander who ordered you to swim." Zhao Huanbin said.

"That's right, the battalion commander didn't give orders, but I gave orders to myself," said solemnly.

"When?" Zhao Huanbin asked.

"A few months ago," said solemnly.

"months ago?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yan said earnestly: "I said it in front of the whole company, I said that I will definitely be able to meet the subject standards that you are required to train. I, the deputy company commander, can't achieve the results I set. , I'm too embarrassed to let you practice."

Zhao Huanbin laughed dumbly.

He suddenly remembered that Zhuang Yan had said so.

He originally thought that solemnity was just a means of propaganda, mobilization and fighting chicken blood, but he didn't want to play it for real.

"You are the commander, there is no need to take this kind of words seriously, you should be in the position of the organizer."

"Hey, I just have itchy hands, I want to swim, and I keep my state." Zhuang Yan said, "Otherwise, after three years, it will be difficult for me to maintain the current peak state. At that time, what kind of courage would I have to use? To ask my soldiers and my platoon leaders to meet high standards and strict requirements?"

Zhao Huanbin's face suddenly turned ugly.

Zhuang Yan noticed it immediately, and quickly said: "Instructor, this is actually my personal hobby, I can't take it easy, what's more, I'm an acting deputy company commander in name, but in fact I'm just a military student who just graduated. It's different, no Same……"

This is obviously to comfort Zhao Huanbin, Zhuang Yan is afraid that his behavior will embarrass Zhao Huanbin and is not conducive to the unity of the team.

In fact, Zhao Huanbin did feel quite ashamed in his heart.

There's something wrong with being a partner with Zhuang Yan.

It's not that Zhuang Yan is a bad person, in fact, Zhuang Yan is a kind person who is easy to get along with.

What's so bad about that?

It's just that being with him will make you seem too incompetent.

This guy is top-notch in everything, and he doesn't have any majors that he doesn't know.

You see now, let alone swimming 7 kilometers and 10 kilometers, it would be a little embarrassing to let Zhao Huanbin swim 3 kilometers.

After these years ~lightnovelpub.net~ engaged in political work, I really neglected training.

He even subconsciously touched his belly.

Once upon a time, I was also a well-known figure on the training ground...

But now...

Those six-pack abs have turned into three, which is shameful.

At that moment, he was even a little impulsive, and wanted to say to Zhuang Yan that I would also go for a swim.

But when he thought that it was a 7-kilometer armed swim, the instructor Zhao Huanbin suddenly persuaded again.

He didn't want to discuss this issue any more, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, Deputy Company Commander Zhuang, I'll discuss something with you."

"What's the matter, instructor, you said." Zhuang Yan stabbed a pin into the camouflage clothes that had been rolled up to the position of his forearm, linked it to the clothes, and buckled them to death.

This can prevent the sleeves from falling down during long-distance swimming, and the trousers should also be rolled up to the thighs and fastened with pins.

These are all swimming tips.

"I heard that last night, Han Xiaobei, the second and third platoon leaders, and a few squad leaders in the first platoon went to the shop for a drink, and then the three soldiers, Diao Ke, Li Hanyu and Xu Er, were on the lawn beside the training ground. It's up."

As soon as Zhao Huanbin said these words, there was a buzz in Zhuang Yan's head.

The reason why there was no fire last night, and the team was disbanded early, was to prevent the instructor Zhao Huanbin from knowing about it.

Unexpectedly, the world really does not have an impermeable wall, and this matter only reached Zhao Huanbin's ears after only one night.

Zhao Huanbin is different from himself.

He is an instructor, a management worker, and this kind of thing is a big deal in his opinion.
