From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 9 Premeditated Mid-Year Competition (Please vote and read on)
Gao Cheng had contact with Chen Jun before, and promised that as long as Chen Jun could get into the top three, he would hand over the company to Chen Jun for cross-country training.

If all the company can achieve excellent results in the five-kilometer run, Chen Jun will be commended to the regiment.

The reason why Gao Cheng dared to draw such a big pie was that he did not have much hope for Chen Jun at that time. He just wanted to use this to motivate Chen Jun so that he could be more motivated and improve his grades.

I don't need excellent grades, at least they should pass.

After all, there is only one trainee soldier, Chen Jun, in the 7th Steel Company. If his performance is too poor after the internship, Gao Cheng cannot afford to be embarrassed if it gets out.

It's better now...

It was originally just said as an incentive, but Chen Jun actually did it.

This made Gao Cheng even more confused than Hong Xingguo.

Facing Hong Xingguo's surprised questions, Gao Cheng could only answer hesitantly, not quite believing it himself: "It should be... maybe it's him."

"It's either maybe or him."

The first group ran past the stands, and Hong Xingguo confirmed that the second place was Chen Jun.

He was surprised and delighted and asked, "Chen Jun, what happened today? Why did he suddenly run so fast? Could a week's training really have such a big effect?"

Chen Jun worked overtime for a week straight, and the news spread like wildfire in the company.

Most of the soldiers didn't take it seriously.

Hong Xingguo had been in the army for almost ten years and had seen both good and bad soldiers. He knew how difficult it was to improve in off-roading, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

I think I will see some progress after practicing for a week, but the progress will probably be very limited.

At most, you can get rid of the title of burden.

After all, every soldier in the 7th Steel Company is a top student, carefully selected by Gao Cheng. Their strength is generally good and it is not so easy to be surpassed.

It takes them one or two years of practice to achieve that result, but you want to surpass them after only one week of practice.

It is completely understandable that everyone finds it unrealistic.

"This kid's progress is really fast, so fast that it's hard to understand. He has been following us for three and a half rounds, and he is still able to keep up with the third squad leader. He is really evil." Gao Cheng frowned, as if thinking about something.

Chen Jun's worst event is running. If he could really catch up, Gao Cheng would definitely be very happy.

It’s just that Chen Jun’s results were too good, making it impossible for people to think with common sense, and the surprise overshadowed the happiness.

“This progress is truly amazing.”

Hong Xingguo shook his head and sighed, then he sighed with relief: "But then again, no matter what happened to Chen Jun, as long as his grades can be improved, it's a good thing.

The soldiers used to laugh at him for being a drag, and he did drag down the overall performance of the Seventh Company. Now that he has caught up, he doesn’t have to worry about the mid-year competition next year. "

From June to September every year, each unit will organize a mid-year competition-style assessment.

The 702nd Regiment also holds a mid-year competition every year, where top fighters from all the companies in the regiment compete against each other. The best ones will even be sent to the division to compete with elite fighters from other regiments.

This is a test of training results and also a battle for honor.

"Hey, Lao Hong, please stop talking. This year's mid-year competition was so embarrassing. We were defeated by the Red Third Company. Every time I see Lao San, I get angry. Look at his nose, it's so high up in the sky."

Gao Cheng was famous for being the most competitive in the entire regiment. He didn't submit to any of the dozen or so companies, so how could he not be angry when he was beaten by the Red Third Company? "Alas, this year is really very ordinary. We will get some good seedlings by the end of the year, and then we will prepare well next year. We will take back all the lost honors by then."

The instructor's job is to assist and support the company commander, so Hong Xingguo naturally agrees with Gao Cheng.

"That is required."

Gao Cheng tilted his neck and said fiercely: "We must win all the mid-year competition next year. No matter whether it is the Red Third Company or the Great Merit Sixth Company, they must submit to our Steel Seventh Company."

"Chen Jun has improved so quickly in just one week of training. If he can practice well, he will definitely be a dark horse." Hong Xingguo said.

"This kid is improving really fast. As for whether he can become a dark horse, it's hard to say now. Wu Liuyi... he's not that easy to beat."

Gao Cheng turned his gaze to Wu Liuyi, his eyes full of trust in him.

That was an honor won by the 7th Steel Company. Except for Shi Jin, he is the veteran with the most comprehensive skills and the strongest overall quality in the entire company.

How could Gao Cheng not believe it!
Wu Liuyi, who was highly trusted and expected by Gao Cheng, would have thought it was a joke if someone had said ten minutes ago that someone could make him nervous.

But now, after sprinting for nearly 2 kilometers, the top veterans are already beginning to fall behind.

The first echelon has been reduced from seven people at the beginning to only four now, and the other two veterans are in very poor condition and may fall out of the first echelon at any time.

But Chen Jun, who was a burden a week ago, is still as vigorous as he was at the beginning.

Like Wu Liuyi's shadow, following him everywhere.

There was a sticky candy hanging behind him that he couldn't get rid of, which greatly affected Wu Liuyi's mentality and emotions, and his impatience continued to rise.

As his mentality and emotions were affected, Wu Liuyi's running rhythm also began to be affected.

He was only thinking about getting rid of Chen Jun and constantly draining his energy to speed up, which caused Wu Liuyi to consume a lot of energy.

The physical energy that was enough for sprinting at a normal pace is now not enough.

In contrast, Chen Jun was always chasing, and it was very tiring to keep sprinting. His energy was consumed very quickly, but it was still much easier than Wu Liuyi.
If the two of them ran separately, Chen Jun would most likely not be able to catch up with Wu Liuyi.

After all, there is a big gap in strength between the two sides!

Fortunately, Chen Jun used running techniques and asked Wu Liuyi to help him break the wind, so that even if he ran at the same speed, he would consume much less energy.

With the increase and decrease between the two, the physical strength and weakness were eliminated.

Wu Liuyi no longer has the physical advantage, but Chen Jun still has the absolute advantage in running skills, as well as a slight advantage in height and long legs.

The extra advantages may not be reflected in a short period of time, but the gap will be obvious over a long period of time.

And it will get bigger and bigger!
When Wu Liuyi led the race to the 8th lap, which was about to break the 3-kilometer mark, he finally reached the critical point and his condition declined significantly.

From the full sprint at the beginning, it slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mouth breathing and pale face proved that Wu Liuyi's physical energy was over-expended and he could no longer maintain the state of sprinting at full speed.

On the other hand, although Chen Jun was sweating all over, his breathing was still very steady and his steps were very steady.

Seeing that Wu Liuyi's condition had declined and that only himself and Wu Liuyi were left in the first echelon, Chen Jun realized that the time he had been waiting for had come.
