Special Years

Chapter 186: Day 4

Five wild boars died that night.

The first head that Zhuang Yan killed was the largest, nearly two hundred pounds.

The other heads ranged from a few dozen to a hundred pounds.

The students of Class 7 and the soldiers from other districts who came to watch the fun carried the five pigs back to the brigade camp.

I thought that there must be a bonfire party and a wild boar barbecue party tonight. Unexpectedly, the team leader Wen Zhixing looked around the wild boars with a smile. After complimenting the students of Class 7, he waved his hand and said to the deputy team leader. : "Old He, let the cooking team put the wild boars away first, and send the car back to the brigade for storage tomorrow morning. When our field training is over, we will return to the army and distribute it to each squadron."

With just this sentence, the solemn wish suddenly fell to nothing.

That night, he never fell asleep.

Maybe it's because of the really hungry ancient times these days, Zhuang Yan was thinking about those wild boars, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed that he was grilling, and then smiled, and when he smiled, he woke up.

The fourth day was completely different from the previous three days.

During the day's itinerary, no one ever worried about the water again.

It's not that there are many water sources on this route. In fact, the road has become more and more difficult to walk, and it is more and more difficult to find places with water.

However, this day was indeed the saddest day of the four solemn days.

Dou said that on the days of June and July, the face of a child will change if it changes.

The first three days of Doushi were scorching hot and cloudless, but after the torrential rain on the third night of Cong, the pattering rain began to stop.

When the sun was blazing before, Zhuang Yan walked on the road every day thinking that it would be nice if it rained.

But on the fourth day, when Zhuang Yan marched in the pouring rain, he realized that he was actually quite an idiot, and the sun seemed to be quite good.

In the jungle march, it is a good thing to encounter a short rainstorm, to cool down, and to collect some drinking water.

But if it rains all day, that's a terrible thing.

Even the experienced Luo Xiaoming seemed a little nervous this time. Many routes up and down the mountain could not be regarded as "roads" at all. The heavy rain made the mountain march full of danger. In many places, everyone linked their backpacks and went first. Grab the rope and let one of them go down, and then go down after fixing it.

Zhuang Yan has slipped and fell countless times, and his body has already been covered with mud, looking like a mud monkey.

What's more terrible is that although there is no shortage of water, it can rain for a long time, which will cause people's body temperature to drop, and people need to eat a lot to maintain their physical strength. Therefore, on the fourth day, almost all the compressed biscuits are exhausted, and only some rice is left.

There is no way to make a fire to cook and eat on the way, because although it is not impossible to make a fire in the rain, it consumes too much time and delays the journey too long.

Originally, the heavy rain affected the speed of the march, and it was necessary to arrive at the assembly point before dark, otherwise the night would add to the heavy rain, and no one would dare to take such a risk to advance in the dark.

The stamina had already been exhausted in the previous few days.

Although marching 40 kilometers a day may sound like a no-brainer to a trained person, it is a mountainous area and a field, and various factors often affect the team's progress to a large extent.

Including positioning in the rain, it is impossible to see the outlines of distant mountains at all, including those markers marked on the military map, which are also blocked by the rain, and the difficulty increases geometrically.

Only then did Zhuang Yan understand how difficult it is to be a qualified squad leader in the elite army.

However, the luck of the seventh class was not bad. Under Luo Xiaoming's urging like chasing sheep, they actually arrived at the campsite at a quarter past six.

When we got to the campsite, the problems came one after another.

The first is to start a fire, and the rain has further increased, resulting in water seepage in all the places where you choose to dig the smoke-scattering stove, and the raindrops continue to fall, and it is impossible to ignite the fire at all.

After being busy for a while, everyone remembered that they needed to cut down some trees and come back to make a simple shed, and dig a stove under the shed to cook, so that at least the rain can be blocked and the fire can be ignited.

There is no meat for dinner.

The wild boar was killed last night, but the meat was sent back to the brigade. In addition, because of the wild boar, the brigade prohibited all soldiers from going out into the jungle to set traps for hunting. Even if the traps are placed tonight, I am afraid that the harvest will not be available until tomorrow. .

It was the hardest night of all.

The food that Class Seven was able to collect was only some wild vegetables such as purslane and Houttuynia cordata.

Wash these wild vegetables, put them in a war preparation basin and cook them with rice, add a little salt, and it is barely a dinner that can fill your stomach.

It was no longer possible to build a simple tent with rain cloths to keep out the rainwater. Everyone had to go to the nearby woods to chop down some small trees and tie them into a jungle shelter with backpack straps.

The construction of a jungle shelter is much more complicated than a simple side **** tent. However, there is an advantage. The anti-snake and rain-proof performance of the canopy is much better than that of a simple shed with a slope. The jungle canopy is generally tens of centimeters from the ground, and it can even be built on a tree.

There is a formula called: "First put up the scaffolding, then cover the roof, make the wall and make the bed at the same time, and finally dig out the drainage ditch, remove the weeds and level the ground."

The formula says this is the jungle shelter.

After a full hour of fiddling, Zhuang Yan felt that he was about to fall apart.

When they got into the jungle shelter to rest, everyone cooked a little hot soup with the remaining wild vegetables to ward off the cold.

Everyone's wet camouflage uniforms were hung on the top sticks of the canopy, and the inside of the canopy was covered with quilts and mosquito nets, which looked much drier than the outside.

The three of them, solemn and serious, and Xu Xingguo, were sitting at the entrance of the awning, with the rain rags on top of their heads.

Due to the constant rain, the body temperature has dropped to a very low level, and Zhuang Yan feels that his body is shaking uncontrollably.

"Malle Gobi... it's freezing me..."

He quickly took out a training suit from the 91-style rucksack and put it on his body, wiped off the water droplets on his head with a towel, and reached out to touch his forehead.

What he is most worried about now is catching a cold.

Once you catch a cold, even if you can go to the brigade to find the military doctor Li Shangyue to get the medicine, it may be difficult to continue after the formation.

It's a shame to quit training.

Fortunately, the temperature of the forehead is normal.

Zhuang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the rice bowl and took a sip of the hot soup.

"comfortable……"

The hot soup slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and the cold body finally had some rare heat.

Closing his eyes, at this moment solemnly feels that he is the happiest person in the world.

"This **** rain, I don't know when it will stop..."

Xu Xingguo drank the soup and said with emotion, "Old Yan, Lao Zhuang, do you think... are we the hardest army?"

Zhuang Yan smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know, anyway, I now understand what the division staff member who brought us to teach the brigade means."

"Which sentence?" Xu Xingguo asked.

Zhuang Yan laughed even more helplessly, and said, "When you arrive at the teaching team, don't treat yourself as a human being, but as a dog!"

Seriously: "We should not be the hardest."

"We still don't count?" Xu Xingguo said, "I can't think of how much more hard work can be done. Seven days a week, we train for six-day classes. Also, I heard that at the end of the month, we will set off again to participate in the reunification of the whole division. sea ​​training."

Seriously: "Have you heard of the special forces of the military region?"

Xu Xingguo shook his head.

Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up and he said, "I've heard it before, and the old man said that he said that there is a special team in the military region, which is very powerful. Occasionally, he will come to our troops to pick people."

Staring at the rain outside seriously, he seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, he said, "If they come to pick people, I will definitely run for election..."

He turned his head and asked Zhuang Yan, "Will you go, Lao Zhuang?"

"Special team?" Zhuang Yan smiled, "I didn't think about it, when I came to be a soldier, I was confused, and I didn't have as lofty ideals as you."

Seriously said: "When you are a soldier, you must be the best soldier, and go to the most powerful army. This is the soldier."

Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you just ask your family to help you get the special team?"

"I don't want to rely on relationships~lightnovelpub.net~ Seriously said: "It's shameful, if I have the ability, I will be able to go sooner or later, if I don't have the ability, there is no point in going there. "

Solemn cannot understand serious practices.

Xu Xingguo suddenly said: "Come on, tomorrow is the last day, and after tomorrow, we have passed another level."

While we were chatting, a rapid whistle sounded suddenly over the camp.

beep beep-

Several people were stunned.

Zhuang Yan said, "What time is it? Are you still blowing the assembly whistle?"

"There must be something wrong." Xu Xingguo stood up, jumped out of the awning, and put on the wet camouflage uniform, "Why don't you hurry up and gather?"

Solemn's heart throbbed a little, thinking that calling the whole team to gather so late, it's probably not a good thing.
