I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

The shooting assessment was completed quickly.

Each company was taken back to rest for an hour.

An hour later, a five-kilometer test will be conducted.

This is also the final assessment.

In the dormitory of Class One, apart from three recruits who had already achieved excellent results, the other recruits were inevitably a little nervous.

Especially Ma Teng and Sun Dawei.

For the past month, they have been training with Wu Hanfeng every day, wearing sandbags and carrying combat backpacks.

I have never run a proper 5km run with my company, even with light gear.

They weren't quite sure how much their physical fitness had improved after a month of training.

Even now, apart from the morning assessment, they still have sandbags strapped to their feet.

Wu Hanfeng noticed their nervousness and smiled:

"As I said before, it's time to put it to the test."

"Think about how hard you've worked this past month; soon, it'll be time to see the results!"

"I only have one sentence: Believe in yourself, and persevere to the end!"

"yes!"

The group of new recruits roared in unison.

Wu Hanfeng nodded slightly. "You know about my relationship with Wang Erniu, the head of the mess hall."

"You guys just ate hamburgers, fries, and drank cola!"

"If you can get perfect scores in the last race, I'll have Squad Leader Wang make you a huge plate of braised pork tonight, so you can eat your fill!"

Upon hearing this, the recruits' eyes lit up instantly.

Although the troops have no shortage of braised pork, it depends on who cooks it.

Over the course of the past month, because Wu Hanfeng practiced hard qigong, Wang Erniu would send him some good food every few days.

They were also fortunate enough to have a few bites.

The taste was absolutely amazing!

No wonder he was transferred to the office as a squad leader!

But then Wu Hanfeng snorted coldly, "But if we can't achieve excellence in everyone, you know my training methods."

But the new recruits showed no fear upon hearing this; instead, they said:

"Don't worry, Feng-ge, if we can't reach the goal, we'll train even harder without you having to tell us!"

Hearing the words of the new recruits, Zhou Haibo, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel emotional.

In all his years of leading troops, he had never seen soldiers with such high morale and awareness.

With this attitude, even if they don't succeed this time, he believes they will definitely achieve excellent results in the graduation assessment next month!

"This kid is definitely better at leading troops than me, and he's a better squad leader than me."

…………

Soon, it was time for the assessment.

Just like last month, everyone stood at the starting point again.

One supervisor held a card list, while another began calling out names.

After you're done, give them a minute to prepare.

Wu Hanfeng said to the group of new recruits in the first platoon, "Alright! Now you can take the sandbags off!"

Upon hearing this, the group of new recruits quickly bent down and pulled up their trouser legs.

In the entire company, apart from the members of the First Platoon and Chen Zhiyuan, no one knew that the First Platoon had spent the entire month of training with sandbags strapped to their bodies!

The other recruits stared wide-eyed at what they saw.

"Wow! These guys are ruthless! Don't tell me they've been wearing sandbags the whole time!"

"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to untie it!"

"Feng trains so intensely, and they train just as intensely! No wonder they achieved such great results!"

"If those sandbags are removed, won't they fly away!"

Even the supervisors couldn't help but twitch at the sight.

They are veterans, so they naturally know the pain of long-term training with sandbags strapped to their bodies.

But the effect is definitely real!

This is the same principle as running with a body weight of 200 pounds versus running with a body weight of 130 pounds.

The lighter it is, the more powerful it is to run.

Although this sandbag looks like it only weighs a few pounds.

But don't forget, it's hanging on his ankle!

After the new recruits took off their clothes, they stretched their ankles and felt incredibly refreshed!

Wu Hanfeng said with a serious expression:

"Remember the rhythm I've been leading you through this past month!"

"For the first three kilometers, maintain the three-step inhale, three-step exhale rhythm and keep a steady pace."

"For the last 1.5 kilometers, take two steps inhale and two steps exhale, maintaining a steady pace."

"For the last 500 meters, run as fast as you can! Keep your footing steady, inhale and exhale with each step, run as fast as you can!"

"Maintain your rhythm and breathing!"

"Stay calm, and you'll achieve excellent results!"

"Did you all understand?"

A group of new recruits shouted, "Understood!"

When the time was up, at the supervisor's command, the first batch of soldiers rushed out!

This time, Zhao Yihang was not the first to rush out.

He can definitely run excellently.

There's no need to push the limits this time.

He was two meters ahead, leading a group of new recruits running behind him.

"Keep up with my pace, maintain the breathing method Feng Ge mentioned, and hold on tight to me!"

"Don't break formation! Stay close together!"

Upon hearing this, the new recruits understood Zhao Yihang's intention.

Zhao Yihang was controlling the pace and maintaining excellent standards as he led them on the race!

Because he was running at the front, he acted as a shield against the wind for the new recruits behind him.

This can save them some physical energy to a certain extent.

Of course, there is also a target for positioning.

It's like a person running on a vast, boundless grassland. You won't be able to run for long before you collapse from exhaustion.

But there is a utility pole every few tens of meters.

If you keep your eyes on the utility poles and aim for the next one, you'll have the motivation to run!

And now, Zhao Yihang is just a telephone pole!

"This kid's got some brains."

Wu Hanfeng smiled with satisfaction.

He wasn't unaware of these things, but he felt that letting them run on their own and find their own rhythm would help them grow.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yihang had thought of it.

Instead of focusing on his own personal achievements, Zhao Yihang stepped down and used this method to lead his class of new recruits forward!

It was also quite obvious that with Zhao Yihang leading the way, the other new recruits in the platoon ran much more easily.

Of course, it's also related to their training over the past month.

Qian Kun and four others carried combat backpacks weighing dozens of kilograms and sandbags strapped to their backs every day while running.

Now that all these constraints are gone, if you still can't run, then you're truly a useless piece of trash!
