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

Chapter 281 The Difference Between Military School and the Army
Xue Daochao never does things in a way that makes people worry.

After he took the TNT block from Ji Baichang, he heard the lieutenant colonel shouting, "Throw it down!", and he reacted very quickly and threw the TNT block into the puddle.

"Everyone lie back!"

The lieutenant colonel shouted again, and everyone obeyed and lay on the ground.

However, they lay on the ground and waited for a while, but they did not hear the sound of the TNT block exploding or the splashing water?

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know. Lao Xue, did you see anything? Why did I feel like you paused at the end?"

Ji Baichang lay on the ground, turned his head with some confusion and looked at Xue Daochao beside him and asked.

Because he was standing next to Xue Daochao, he clearly saw Xue Daochao pause. This action did not seem to be out of fear, but something else.

"It seems that something has stuck at the end of the fuse."

"Hmm? Could it be a protection mechanism or something?"

Ji Baichang suddenly had a picture in his mind. Could it be that he was afraid that they would cause trouble, so he deliberately didn't blow it up?
After thinking for about four or five seconds, a loud noise broke through the air from the puddle behind him:
"boom!"

Then the water in the puddle splashed directly onto the people around them who were lying on the ground.

Basically everyone was soaked.

The veterans in the squad were all smart people and they immediately understood what was going on.

Perhaps they were still afraid of training accidents like the one two years ago, so this time they installed internal fuses on all the powder blocks.

In this way, there will be enough time to react and there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.

But from the perspective of people in other companies, it seemed as if there was something wrong with the medicine and it exploded with a delayed reaction.

"Everyone, stand up, let the next class come up."

"There was a small error with the medicine just now, but it's not a big deal. Class Two, get ready."

Just as they all thought, the TNT block exploded with a delayed reaction, and the lieutenant colonel simply explained that there was a minor problem and allowed them to continue training.

In this case, it is inevitable that some people below will think, they will think that if this block of medicine can be delayed to explode, then what if it explodes prematurely in the next step?
Thinking of this, the trainees who were to carry out the subsequent detonation mission all of a sudden became a little nervous.

The second squad took over this training from the first squad. This time, they threw out the TNT blocks after the lieutenant colonel gave the order.

They threw the TNT block into the puddle and had just laid down when the puddle made a loud noise.

"Hmm? Could it be that there is something wrong with our TNT block?"

For a moment, everyone in Class 1 was a little confused, and the students in the back who had not yet received relevant training also felt that this training seemed to be very dangerous, and thus took it more seriously.

After the entire afternoon, basically all ten classes had completed the training. There was nothing else that required them to do personally, so it came to an end quickly.

Of course, today is just the beginning of special blasting. They will have to conduct three weeks of related training and learning in the future.

Moreover, they may have been training in a military academy the week before, and in the next two weeks, they would need to come to an engineering camp in Guilin to cooperate in carrying out corresponding blasting tasks.

Their ability to accept this second special blasting was also very quick.

If we talk about the most fundamental difference between being promoted to an officer and attending military school and being in the army, that’s it.

Maybe as a soldier or non-commissioned officer in the army, the requirements for them may be limited to just obeying orders.

As long as you can follow instructions, perform well in all aspects and have good military qualities, you will be a favorite of the company supervisor.

As a soldier or non-commissioned officer, it is enough to be able to achieve this.

But studying in a military academy is completely different.

When I was in the military academy, we were taught theoretical knowledge courses in the morning. The company commander Sun Jie had repeatedly emphasized that when he finished talking about a war or a solution, the people under him needed to draw inferences from it.

In other words, he is intentionally cultivating the people below him to think and use logic to draw inferences from one instance.

At the same time, he emphasized more than once that one should not be stupid like a piece of wood, but should think of solutions first when encountering problems.

"You will soon be officers, why are you still thinking at the level of a soldier?!"

"Don't just listen to what I say. What if what I say is wrong?"

"I'm telling you, in future war situations, most of the plans will be given to you by your superiors. How to implement them will depend on you. You need to be more flexible and not act the same as before."

Company commander Sun Jie emphasized.

In fact, most soldiers have many problems after being promoted to military academies.

The most important one is that they are too obedient and tend to lose their own ideas and opinions.

Of course, this is not something that can be changed overnight by just a few words from me. After all, some of them have been in the army for five or six years, and the first thing we do when they arrive at the army is to instill in them the idea of ​​obeying orders.

There is actually still a long way to go for them to transform from being managed to being managers.

It may take them graduation, return to their respective army groups, and then work their way up from the grassroots level before they can slowly adapt.

Of course, it would be best if they could change after I say a few words.

In this regard, Ji Baichang and the other two actually have the fastest ability to adapt and change.

They had only been in the army for a year, and their situation had not yet been fully determined.

In addition, they are all young, which is the most suitable age for learning, so their learning ability is very terrifying.

During the one month or so in the military academy, I had already abandoned my previous mindset as a soldier.

The three of them have very active minds. Sometimes during class, they can answer some teachers' questions from time to time. The three of them are also deeply loved by teachers of various subjects.

Moreover, Lu Qinglong and the other two not only have good academic performance and quick adaptability, but their physical fitness and various military qualities are also top-notch.

Even Chang Sunjie directly promised the three of them that if they could continue until they graduated, he would wait for them after they graduated.

He would award the three of them a certificate of outstanding students.

After normal graduation, a completion certificate will be issued. There are basically only about six places for outstanding students to receive the certificate.

In fact, although it doesn’t have much effect, it can still be considered an honor or something.

So after hearing what Captain Sun Jie said, they became more motivated. "Qinglong, if you ask me, we are really blessed by our young age."

"I went to military school and had physics classes. The classes taught me all the knowledge from high school, and it just so happened that I hadn't forgotten everything I learned in high school. Now I feel like a fish in water."

Ji Baichang said in a low voice with a chuckle.

He looked up at the other students around him.

They were all scratching their heads while writing the physics test paper.

As for the three of them, they had already handed in their papers and returned to their seats.

It is hard to imagine that a group of veterans who were sent to the army because of their poor academic performance would have to start cramming physics, a brain-intensive subject, again after they have served in the army for five or six years.

Not only physics, they also have to take written and oral tests in English, so the main focus is on all-round learning.

After feeling dizzy from studying in the morning, people have to study various subjects in the afternoon. After studying, they have to do physical exercise. This double torture of the mind and body will soon make most people exhausted like dogs.

"Oh my god, to be honest, this kind of intense training method and training mode seems to be much more tiring than when we were in the brigade."

"In the brigade, we only need to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, and then we can rest after finishing those things."

"But here, I really feel that even after we have completed these things, there are still things we need to do."

"Besides, today's study task is over, but the next day there will be a whole new subject, and I have to start from the beginning again. I finally understand why they say that soldiers who are promoted to military academies will have a hard time in military academies."

Ji Baichang stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp. His head was now enlarged by all the learning these days.

It’s a good thing that Chen Ting taught them some subjects before, otherwise it would be even more difficult for them to learn now.

If even the three of them are like this, then the other veterans can only be said to be even worse.

It is common for people to not be able to keep up with the learning progress.

But there is no other way. Unable to keep up with the learning progress, they can only make up for it in private time.

Fortunately, there have been no night trainings recently, so those students who cannot keep up with the learning progress are studying late at night with lights on.

According to Ji Baichang's words, they really looked like they were studying hard before the college entrance examination.

Company commander Sun Jie also said that all subjects, no matter what method is used, must be passed, and a completion certificate will be issued only after all are passed.

Otherwise, go back to where you came from.

In fact, after hearing this, the other students didn’t feel that they had to pass all the exams, but they still tried their best to study accordingly.

After all, no one can tell whether the company commander Sun Jie is joking or not.

"There's nothing I can do. After all, becoming an officer does require a long period of study."

"We only have one year, so we have to master all the subjects. There is not enough time, so we can only study in this saturation way."

"By the way, Bai Chang, have you packed your things? We are leaving for the South China Sea tomorrow to do underwater shooting. Didn't you say you have claustrophobia or something?"

"Will you fail at the critical moment?"

Lu Qinglong looked at Ji Baichang and asked worriedly.

"Not really. Although I used to get dizzy every time I dived, that was in the past."

"Now that I have experienced this kind of battle, my mental state is no longer the weak one I used to be. I won't be so bad anymore."

Ji Baichang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Underwater combat is the first combat subject they will be exposed to that they have never experienced before.

If you join the Marine Corps, you may practice this subject more.

During this year, they went through the recruit company, plateau training, jungle training, and finally peacekeeping in Lebanon, all of which were ground-based subjects.

For the subject of underwater combat, if they are still soldiers, they may receive training after they move up to the Arrow Squadron. Regular companies will not conduct this type of training.

So naturally, they had no chance of contact.

This subject is also their weak point.

Of course, no one else in the company had the opportunity to take this subject. Everyone was at the same level, so it was not like anyone was ahead of the others.

"Okay, then if you feel unwell just make a hand gesture or something underwater and I'll take you straight out then."

Lu Qinglong nodded.

For this subject, they conducted simulated training at a reservoir in Guilin.

Ji Baichang's performance was pretty standard. Although he was a little reluctant to go into the water, it seemed that with the help of the others around him, he was not too worried.

The reservoir is not too deep, the deepest is only about five meters.

In this situation, we can still remain rational.

I just don’t know if Ji Baichang can hold on if he finds himself more than ten meters underwater.

When they fight underwater, they use sign language the whole time, so during this week, they learn basic sign language.

According to the company commander Sun Jie, when they fight underwater in the South China Sea, if they have trained to a similar level, they will have to engage in an underwater combat confrontation.

At that time, they will be divided into two sides and launch a landing battle to seize the beach.

This confrontation sounds very interesting, and Lu Qinglong is looking forward to this simulated confrontation.

However, before doing that, they must first adapt to going into the sea and conducting real underwater combat.

The next morning, two buses drove into the military academy, packed all 90 people onto the buses, and drove all the way to the Army Special Operations Academy's training base in the South China Sea.

After a brief warm-up on the shore, everyone put on special frogman diving suits and went into the water with oxygen tanks on their backs.

Speaking of underwater combat, the weapon they have in their hands now is an underwater combat rifle designed and finalized in 06, also called QBS06.

It is mainly used for close-range combat underwater, and the bullets fired are also special underwater bullets.
