He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 119 Welcome home new comrades! (Subscribe)
They haven't run more than five kilometers for a long time.

Since the first half month before the new recruits were assigned to their companies, the veterans had completely relaxed their attitude towards them and were no longer as strict as when they first arrived at the army.

When it comes to physical fitness, I turn a blind eye and basically just walk around for a day and a three-kilometer run is done.

In this situation, although they passed the selection and were among the recruits with slightly better physical fitness.

But asking them to run ten kilometers while carrying backpacks and holding a black front transport bag in their hands is a bit too much!

"I'm afraid you're not used to it, so I'll give you a minute to adjust. You should tighten your luggage. If something falls off during the journey, the speed may be very slow."

Zhou You spoke while holding a loud speaker.

On the road behind them, a Dongfeng Mengshi vehicle appeared slowly. In the vehicle sat several first-term non-commissioned officers. They looked gloating and it seemed that they knew the new recruits' experiences very well.

We've all been through this, just adapt to it.

"Okay, one minute is up!"

"Everyone, target the Special Operations Brigade, move out!"

Zhou You shouted, and as the bus slowly started, he sat leisurely in the last row, looking through the window at the recruits at the back of the bus.

The recruits, carrying their luggage, chased the bus with some difficulty.

It can be seen that most of the recruits have confusion and a hint of resentment on their faces.

This is not a gift for meeting, it's clearly a show of power!

Of course, it is impossible to say what is in my mind, so I can only keep it in my heart.

"I understand. No wonder the squad leader asked us to stuff as much stuff as possible into one backpack when we were packing. So this is the reason!"

Ji Baichang suddenly understood something.

While running forward, he looked at the other recruits around him.

On the other hand, the three of them did not have those miscellaneous luggage in their hands. Instead, they were carrying bulging bags on their backs.

In fact, the total weight is almost heavier than their 10-kilometer armed run at night, but it is also within the range they can bear, so they feel it is acceptable.

"Eh? Did you guys know that we were going to run, so you stuffed everything into your bag?"

"I think your method is really useful. I want to pack all my luggage together."

Li Wa ran in front of the three men, saw their empty hands, then looked at the bulging backpacks behind them, and immediately understood.

Make adjustments as you run.

"This guy's physical fitness is pretty good. He has more stuff than others, but he didn't fall down at all."

Looking at Li Wa's actions, Ji Baichang lowered his voice and spoke to Xue Daochao and Lu Qinglong.

If it were him, he would have already run more than three kilometers by now, his breathing would be a little rapid, and there would be some pain on his face.

However, apart from seeming a little uncomfortable, Li Wa did not feel too much discomfort, which showed that his physical fitness was even better than his own.

He should be even more powerful than Xue Daochao.

"Someone in the car just now said that he grew up in the mountains and was specially recruited into the army, so it is reasonable for him to have this physical fitness."

"After all, you can't compete with people who make a living by hunting in the mountains every day in terms of physical fitness."

After Lu Qinglong's explanation, Ji Baichang understood. No wonder this guy was so fierce. It turned out that he was specially recruited into the army.

Their run continues.

I can only say that the bus driver has a very good control of speed.

Strictly stick to a speed of four minutes per kilometer.

To be honest, this speed is not fast, but for these new recruits carrying their own luggage, it is definitely fast.

Their bare-handed performance was only slightly faster than this speed. When carrying weights, they needed to use all their strength to catch up with the bus in front of them.

But none of them wanted to work in the support battalion. Since they had come to the special operations brigade, and were assigned to the logistics department, wouldn't that be pure fun? It was embarrassing to say it out loud.

So, they are all holding on with one breath.

I ran for six kilometers, which was a watershed moment.

Even if Zhou You asked the driver to drive slower, he would not be able to stop the new recruits who were not in good physical condition and were already falling behind.

Zhou You ignored these new recruits. At the rear of them was a Dongfeng Mengshi vehicle with veterans of their brigade on board. They would not let these new recruits take the wrong path or escape secretly.

Another three kilometers have passed, and the last kilometer is left.

At this time, there were only ten people who could keep up with the speed of the bus and never fall behind.

These included the three people who practiced every night and Li Wa who came out of the mountains.

The other six recruits basically had some special skills, graduated from martial arts schools or trained in sports, and were much better than other ordinary recruits in this respect.

"It's the last kilometer, we need to increase our speed!"

Zhou You's somewhat amused voice came from the loud speaker, and the bus driver stepped on the accelerator hard, and the speed of the entire bus suddenly increased. Seeing this, Ji Baichang, whose physical strength had almost reached its peak, couldn't help but curse.

The reactions of the other recruits were similar, except for Lu Qinglong and Li Wa, who didn't react much. They sped up and caught up.

"Great! I haven't felt this good in a long time!"

Li Wa, who crossed the finish line, shouted loudly, raised his hands and danced like a savage.

After running a full ten kilometers with the weight on, I just gasped for a while and it took me about two or three minutes to adjust.

Subsequently, more and more recruits crossed the finish line and sat down on the ground in an ungraceful manner to recover their strength. Ji Baichang was one of them.

However, compared to before, his physical strength was indeed much better, and he was almost the ninth one to cross the finish line.

He weighs only 70 kilograms, and it is quite good that he can carry such a large weight. It shows that he has worked hard on his physical fitness during this period.

Zhou You just sat on the bus and watched these new recruits cross the line one by one leisurely. They rested on the ground panting, without even counting how many people there were.

What he said before was completely to fool these new recruits who knew nothing.

What about the fact that after the 40th people all will be assigned to the logistics units? This is all bullshit to deceive them.

Without any comprehensive assessment, how can we determine the survival of the fittest based on running?
This is just a trick to fool the new recruits.

If I didn't say that, how could this recruit run so hard and desperately?

After he counted everyone on the bus and found that almost everyone was there, he got off and walked casually in front of the group of recruits.

"Not bad, everyone has persevered. No one got into the old soldier's car behind?"

As Zhou You spoke, a surprised expression appeared on his face, as if he was very surprised. This look made the already puzzled recruits even more confused.

At the same time, some smarter recruits realized that they might have been deceived by the lieutenant in front of them.

What do you mean the 40th soldiers will be transferred to the logistics department? He didn't count the new soldiers who arrived after the 40th?
"I'll give you one minute to rest. After one minute, I want to see you all packed up with your luggage and standing neatly in front of me."

After being tormented by Zhou You for a while, how could the new recruits say "no" at this time?

They dragged their tired bodies and began to line up. The order of the line was based on height, with the tall ones standing at the back and the short ones standing at the front.

"Well, let's go, you will be at your new home soon."

Zhou You said this as he led the sixty-odd recruits and marched in an orderly line toward the gate of the Special Operations Brigade.

The two soldiers standing guard by the gate looked a little lazy, but they immediately straightened their backs when they saw someone coming.

Among them, the corporal who did not hold a gun walked out of the guard post and came to the front of the door.

When he saw clearly that the person coming was Zhou You, and that he brought a large group of new soldiers with him, his whole face lit up with joy, and he quickly opened the door:
"Platoon Leader Zhou You, are you back with new recruits?"

"That's great! Now we can't be called upon to do the work in the brigade. Finally, there are people who can do the work!"

As the corporal spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and he almost flew with joy.

Finally, I've waited for this day!

New recruits are assigned to companies, and veterans are celebrating the New Year!

Zhou You nodded and asked the corporal:
"Have the other recruits arrived? Aren't there two hundred recruits? I only have sixty."

"No, platoon leader, you are the first one back, the others may still be on the way."

After the corporal finished speaking, Zhou You nodded again, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, signaling him to cheer up and stand guard well.

The recruits were led through the gate, and only then did they discover that the headquarters of the special operations brigade was completely different from what they had imagined.

In their imagination, let alone the barracks of their recruit company, it was at least the same as the bases of the soldiers in the movies.

But in their eyes, this place looked like a huge government unit. The trees and vegetation on both sides were very well built, and there was not a single fallen leaf on the ground.

The most central main road is a long cement road that goes straight to the innermost end.

There are also red slogans on both sides:

"Fearless, extremely loyal, indestructible, and invincible."

"We are the Army Special Forces, we are the warriors from hell."

Lines of inspiring quotes were written on the wall.

Walking further in, Lu Qinglong could see that there seemed to be a lot of people standing at the corner in front, looking at them from a distance with excitement on their faces.

"Come on, everyone! Hold your heads high!"

Zhou You suddenly shouted, and the recruits subconsciously raised their heads and chests.

After the handover, they saw smiling veterans standing on both sides of the road.

"Welcome home, new comrades!"
