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

Chapter 133 Military Topographic Map!
"Maybe my stomach and intestines have a strong digestive capacity, so I eat a lot and poop a lot."

Lu Qinglong patted Ji Baichang's shoulder.

At this moment, how could Ji Baichang have any intention of standing at the connection between the carriages to get some fresh air?
He ran back to his seat without stopping.

Originally the carriage was filled with turbid carbon dioxide, but at this moment Ji Baichang felt that it became unusually fresh and sweet.

"Huh? Why are you two walking back in such a hurry? Did something happen ahead?"

Chen Ting, who had been sitting in his seat, stared at Lu Qinglong and Ji Baichang who had just returned with some confusion and asked.

"No squad leader, there's just a beautiful woman in the front carriage. I took Lu Qinglong over to take a look."

Ji Bai thought for a moment and made up a lie.

You can't really say that Lu Qinglong went to the front carriage to poop and then made the front carriage smell, right?
This is somewhat strange.

"Beauty? Okay, if you don't have anything to do, don't go to the front carriage. Just stay in your own carriage."

Chen Ting nodded, without asking any further questions, but closed his eyes again and leaned back in his chair to rest.

During the day, they had many entertainment options on the train. Some veterans even took out playing cards and sat together playing cards.

There are also those who want to try playing mobile games together.

Unfortunately, the signal on the train is not very good. Sometimes the network is disconnected for no apparent reason. After trying again, we gave up.

The most difficult time is the night on the train.

The train carriage is small to begin with, and with so many people, it is impossible to find a suitable spot to sleep.

It was still a bit cold at night, so I had to cover myself with a quilt to be able to fall asleep.

"Deputy Ding Wei, how are we going to sleep later?"

Ji Baichang looked at the crowded train carriage and couldn't help but ask questions.

He knew that there was a place where three seats were connected and people could sleep.

But after one person sleeps, where do the other two go to sleep?
Just now Chen Ting said that if they have anything they don’t understand, they can ask classmate Ding Wei, and Ding Wei seems to be happy to help them solve their problems.

"You mean how to sleep on a green train, right?"

"That makes sense. People can sleep on the ground."

Ding Wei pointed under Ji Baichang's seat. There was a height of about 40 centimeters underneath, just enough for a person to lie down.

"Come on, let me show you how."

Having said that, Ding Wei was not afraid of getting dirty and just lay down in it.

“It can really make people sleep!”

Ji Baichang was a little dazed. He stood up and looked towards the corridor ahead.

Sure enough, many veterans had already laid down, ready to sleep.

"That's not enough people, Deputy Class Leader Ding Wei? Where can the others sleep?"

"Anyone else? You can sleep on this."

Ding Wei pointed at the luggage rack above their heads.

He reached out to take the luggage off the luggage rack and put it on the table. Then he reached out to take Ji Baichang's quilt and spread it on the luggage rack, indicating that Ji Baichang could climb up and sleep.

"Oh my god! A luxury sleeper berth, huh?"

Ji Baichang really didn't expect that these old soldiers could sleep so well just by sleeping on the green train!
(Figure 1)

"Don't worry, the luggage rack here is very sturdy. It won't break with your weight."

"Go to bed early. We still need another night's sleep before we can reach Shigatse."

After Ding Wei finished speaking, he stopped talking and went to sleep under the seat.

Ji Baichang took off his shoes, climbed onto the luggage rack, looked around, and it seemed that he was the one who slept the most comfortably among so many people.

There is nothing else to pay attention to except being careful not to fall when turning over.

The snoring sounds came one after another, and Ji Baichang, lying on the luggage rack, soon fell asleep.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning gently sprinkled on the curtains, emitting a golden glow. Ji Baichang, who was lying on the luggage rack, slowly opened his eyes.

I climbed down from the luggage rack with some difficulty, looked at the pitch-black carriage, and walked carefully to the connection between the carriages, wanting to take a breath of fresh air.

He found that Lu Qinglong had woken up at some point and was sitting by the car window, looking at the scenery outside.

"Qinglong, why are you up so early? Why didn't I see where you slept yesterday?"

Hearing someone calling him, Lu Qinglong turned around and found that it was Ji Baichang. He smiled at him and said:
"Right here. It's a little more spacious. It's just right for me to lie down alone."

"Bai Chang, you probably haven't seen the grassland, right? Come and see the grassland."

Lu Qinglong waved to Ji Baichang, who immediately became interested. He quickly walked to Lu Qinglong and looked out the window through the car glass.

I saw the endless grassland, and the green waves swaying gently in the breeze, like the breath of the earth, bringing the rhythm of life.

On this grassland, there are occasionally a few leisurely cows and sheep grazing with their heads down. The sky is also clear blue, and the white clouds and grass form a beautiful picture.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Where are we now? How long will it take to get to Shigatse?"

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Ji Baichang couldn't help but sigh, and then he took out his mobile phone slowly, wanting to open the map to see where he was. To be honest, he had spent all his time in Yanjing before, and basically had never left Yanjing, so he was full of longing for the grassland.

"It's still early. We just arrived in Gansu."

Lu Qinglong answered his question.

"Let me check the train schedule. It may stop for an hour at Xining Station. Do you want to get off and buy something to eat?"

"I heard the Lanzhou ramen here is delicious."

"Sure, sure! No problem!"

Ji Baichang nodded. He had long wanted to go down and stretch his muscles.

After a while, the old soldiers in the carriage woke up one after another.

However, when they opened the curtains and saw the reactions outside the car window, they were not as exaggerated as Ji Baichang's. Everyone just looked at him a few more times.

After all, they are all veterans. In the past, the brigade would organize a four-month training in the plateau area every year, so most of them are a little tired of it.

Compared to the scenery of nature, these veterans still prefer the bustling and lively metropolis.

The carriage became lively again, with the veterans playing cards and bragging.

The four of them were not idle either. Class monitor Chen Ting asked them to gather around the table in front of his seat:
"While we still have time on the way, I will teach you the most basic theoretical knowledge about military topographic maps."

"Wang Yuan, bring me the map."

Chen Ting opened his mouth to speak, and Wang Yuan beside him immediately took out the military topographic map that squad leader Chen Ting had asked him to bring from his backpack and spread it neatly on the table.

At the same time, not only a blueprint of a military topographic map was taken out, but also four sets of related teaching aids were taken out and distributed to each person in turn.

"Let me start with a simple question: What is military topography?"

While Chen Ting was teaching, a few veteran soldiers from the same company who were not very good at military topography also came over quietly and gathered next to Chen Ting, intending to observe.

"Squad leader? So that you can understand military maps?"

Ji Bai thought for a moment, then answered quickly.

"Almost. To sum it up briefly, military topography is a discipline that identifies, studies, and utilizes terrain in the military."

"Knowing this subject is just the foundation. The most important thing is to study and use military topographic maps to create favorable conditions in battle and thus create inequality."

"Do you remember what I taught you when I first started in the recruit company?"

"If you want to win a battle, in addition to the most basic combat power and information asymmetry, you also need to come up with surprising tactics. If you can't even understand the map in this military topography course, then you can forget about coming up with surprising tactics."

"What I mean is that you should study hard, do you understand?"

"understand!"

The three of them answered in unison.

Only Li Wa was scratching his head as he looked at the drawing on the table.

Chen Ting seemed to see Li Wa's troubles, and turned to him and asked:
"What's wrong, Li Wa?"

"Class monitor, I... I'm not lying to you. I haven't been to school since I graduated from junior high school. I probably don't know anything about studying."

Li Wa explained somewhat awkwardly.

He was a little afraid that what Chen Ting taught would be too complicated and he wouldn't be able to understand it.

"Are you afraid you won't be able to learn it?"

"How about this, I'll teach you a little bit every day, and you can force yourself to remember it, right?"

Chen Ting looked thoughtful.

If Li Wa really had poor learning ability, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to go as far in the military camp as the other three.

So today, let’s start teaching them from the most basic and simplest things.

"First, we need to make different terrain judgments based on the terrain type."

"We are about to go to the west, and our country is a country with diverse terrain. The landforms and environments are quite complex and can be divided into fourteen categories in total."

"I won't give examples and explain each of these fourteen categories in detail. I'll talk about the west where we're going."

"The west is a plateau area, and the military topographic maps of the plateau area happen to be very easy to identify and understand."

"Military topographic map of plateau areas. We call areas with an altitude of 500 meters or more plateaus."

"Look at this map I'm pointing to."

Chen Ting pointed to a corner of the military map in front of him:
(Figure 3)

Everyone turned their eyes to the map that Chen Ting pointed to.

The four of them stared at the map in front of them in a daze, with a look of confusion in their eyes.

They just felt a bunch of messy lines and numbers in front of them, which looked weird.

"This is not difficult. You will understand once I explain it."

　I don't remember some of the military topographic maps clearly, so I'll review them later. If you find anything wrong, please feel free to correct me.
