War Military: From 1978

Chapter 68: Motivation comes quickly and goes quickly!

Make merit, join the party, and get promoted.

This is definitely a promise that can inspire the enthusiasm of the warriors.

Although the regiment commander said that except for one third-class merit, the rest would only be given priority for inspection.

But it's still inspiring.

After all, in this era when the policy of volunteer soldiers had not yet been introduced, if one wanted to serve in the army for a long time, one could only join the party, make meritorious service, and then be promoted.

Otherwise, for most soldiers who come from rural areas, they can only go home and continue farming, but the key is that they still cannot fill their stomachs.

This is the dual driving force of reality and ideals.

It's just that this motivation comes quickly and disappears quickly.
"How did you read books before?"

"The short side is 400, the long side is 600, how did you calculate angle C to be 34.69? Can you even make mistakes in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?"
Do it yourself!

Sitting in the first row, another fellow villager named Wang next to Chu An stood there with his head down and a look of shame on his face, like a student who was not paying attention in class.

In fact, everyone is in class now.

After the group leader left, the two cadres simply introduced themselves, and then everyone was taken directly to the auditorium to start class.

The cadre who picked up Chu An and the others in the morning will serve as the instructor.

After quickly going through the formulas from the Pythagorean theorem to trigonometric functions, they started asking questions directly.

For example, this one now.

Given two sides, find the measure of an acute angle.

He has thirty seconds to figure it out, and then he will check the answer.

If you make a mistake, you will be like Wang Xiaohu now.

"Pa!" With a crisp sound, Wang Xiaohu slapped himself in the face.

Chu An clearly saw a visible slap mark on his face.

"Humph, you must always remember that you are not students. If a student makes a mistake, at best he will lose points. Even if he takes the college entrance exam, he will not be able to pass.

But you are warriors, soldiers, and even more so, future artillery scouts."

This cadre's name is Tan Peng. When he introduced himself, he said that he was the instructor and theoretical instructor of the Mountain Eagle Growth Team.

At this moment, his tone was unusually heavy: "You must understand that you are the eyes of the cannon, but our cannons themselves have no eyes.

Once a war breaks out, the combat zone will be filled with all kinds of complex environments, but our eyes cannot see through mountains and obstacles.

So we artillery scouts need to get close and observe!

Do you understand what close reconnaissance is?"

Tan Peng stared at everyone with wide eyes: "You must get close to the enemy target, even to within a few hundred meters of the enemy."

He began to draw on the blackboard in front of him.

He drew a cannon, then drew something like an obstacle, and finally drew two adjacent dots on the other side of the obstacle.

A parabola goes directly from the muzzle of the cannon across the obstacle and hits the target point.

But he suddenly looked back, then turned around and drew a line from the parabola pointing directly to another point near the target point.

"Do you know what this means?"

Of course, everyone can understand what this clear picture means.

The point closest to the target represents them, and the parabola of the shell indicates that the shell hit their own heads.

"I will erase this picture, but you must engrave it in your hearts."

The instructor looked around at everyone and said in a very serious tone, "If you make a mistake in your calculations, you will be committing suicide!

On the battlefield, your suicide is nothing!
But if you fail to destroy our hostile targets, then you have failed in your duty and are sinners.

Because if a shell misses, the enemy will be alerted and will run away, and then these hostile forces that should have been destroyed will cause us incalculable losses! "

What is stress.

This is!
They said that being killed by a shell was not the most important thing.

This statement is cruel, but it really makes everyone realize the importance and rigor of an artillery scout.

Naturally, this rigor would be fatal in today's classrooms.

There can't be any mistakes!
Crucially, the questions were answered within a time limit. More than one person walked out of the auditorium with swollen faces after the morning class.

Among them, there are not only new recruits but also veterans.

There were even more veterans, and almost everyone had red faces on both sides.

Because they were new recruits, the average age of the nine people including Chu An was around seventeen years old, and there was even one who was sixteen years old.

They all joined the army shortly after graduating from school, and they were good at math when they were in school.

The knowledge is still in my head and I haven’t given much back to the teacher.

But it’s different for veterans. Even if they are from a machine gun company or even a gun battalion, they still have at least a junior high school or even high school education.

But as a Class B production unit, they didn't have such strict training. They didn't even have any training in trigonometric function ranging.

Because of this, after serving in the army for a year or two, I basically returned all these things to my teacher over time.

In this situation, they were in trouble today. Even the motivation brought by the team leader in the morning was wiped out by the slaps he raised one after another.

It is no exaggeration to say that many people now do not want to continue to be artillery scouts.

But this is just something you can think about in your mind, no one dares to really bring it up.

However, there is some consolation.

The food in their growth class has obviously improved.

When I was in the recruit company, except for the dinner on Saturday night, we always had the same dish.

But when they arrived at the cafeteria at noon, they found that they now had three dishes.

One meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup.

And this isn't just one meal, it happens every night and every other day.

This may be another motivation given to everyone by the group!

Things like making meritorious service, joining the party, and promotion are all irrelevant at the moment. Let’s use food to soothe everyone’s hurt faces first.

"NND, these guys are really infuriating!"

In the team office, the instructor took off his hat as soon as he came in, looking very angry.

"Haha, are you angry again?" Huang Tianzhi, the captain of the Mountain Eagle Growth Team, said with a smile.

According to the training plan, the first few days are to grasp the basics, consolidate trigonometric functions, and let the soldiers understand them thoroughly, and then other training items will be carried out.

As for trigonometric functions, the instructor is directly responsible for them.

"Don't even mention it, damn it, I just want to kick all these veterans out now.

"Let them learn for two days, and many people keep making mistakes. I clearly asked them to review the formulas and copy them down yesterday, but they still make mistakes today. I'm really impressed by their brains!"

He was really angry. Just by explaining the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric functions, the formula and theorem, he could get a different answer by asking a question from a different angle or changing the question slightly.

But it’s clearly a triangle!
He wanted to vomit blood.

Of course, he wanted to vomit blood, and the soldiers who were still in the auditorium were not feeling well either.

It can be seen that some veterans’ faces are almost like pig heads.

There were 27 people in the team, both new and old soldiers, and only one person had no abnormality on his face.

Chu An.

His reborn brain now allows him to face trigonometric functions with ease.

No matter how the question changes, he can always get the answer quickly and accurately.

In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t want to be too ostentatious, Chu An actually doesn’t need to use paper and pen to calculate anything.

As soon as the question was given, he would take a look at it and could directly come up with an accurate answer within three seconds.

However, considering other people's feelings, he still pretended to do it and calculated the problem according to the formula in his notebook every time.

But even so, he looks particularly eye-catching now as he hasn't been slapped in the face in the past two days.

Look, Chu An is now standing on the podium in the auditorium.

The instructor was so angry that he ran away. Before leaving, he asked Chu An to go on stage to share his experience in answering questions with everyone.
