You've already received a first-class merit award, why are you pretending to be a new recruit a

After breakfast, the entire company assembled.

Lei Zhan stood in front of the line, holding the training plan.

"No additional distance will be added the day before the five-kilometer baseline assessment."

Just as the team relaxed a little, Lei Zhan had already put the plan back together.

"Don't be so quick to laugh."

"Three things to do today: equipment review, rhythm drill, and safety training."

"Whoever runs extra laps without permission will have points deducted from their class's score."

"To run well tomorrow, I need to clear my head first today."

Chen Jingxing lowered his voice.

"The company commander is afraid we'll lose our legs from training tonight."

Wang Dashan turned his head to look at him.

"Don't you ever give your mouth a rest?"

Chen Jingxing immediately stood up straight.

"Reporting, squad leader, my mouth has already been treated with low-intensity care."

"One more word of defense, and I'll do fifty push-ups in defense."

Chen Jingxing shut up.

Xiao Longteng stood in the middle of the queue, glanced down at Liu Hai's right foot. The medic had checked it that morning; the swelling had gone down a bit, and he could do low-intensity activities, but not run. If the pain exceeded five points, he had to report it immediately. If the check-up failed, the five-kilometer run would be canceled.

Liu Hai recited these lines three times, but his voice still dropped when he got to the last line.

He was afraid of pain, afraid of not being able to play, and even more afraid that his class would be left behind at the starting line because of him.

After Lei Zhan gave the order, the platoons dispersed.

The second class was the first to pull the train to the side of the track.

Chen Fei tucked the training clip under his arm.

"Final simulation, according to yesterday's plan."

Sun Ming immediately responded.

"Speed ​​up in the first two kilometers, stabilize in the middle, and sprint at the end. Our goal is to keep the average time ahead of the rest of the class."

Chen Fei lifted the training clip.

"Are you a broken record?"

Sun Ming immediately fell silent.

"Reporting to the squad leader, let's reinforce our tactical thinking."

"Strengthen the body through physical means, not just through words."

Class Two starts the race.

The front row pressed down quickly, but the formation didn't break.

Chen Fei followed on the outside, calling out the rhythm every now and then.

Sun Ming ran in the middle, his face flushed red, but he still kept glancing towards Class 1.

Chen Fei's voice followed.

"Sun Ming, look ahead!"

Sun Ming quickly corrected himself.

Meanwhile, the third shift is also making adjustments.

Zhao Hai didn't let Class 3 compete with Class 2 in speed. After the people separated, he checked each person's shoelaces and backpack straps one by one.

"I'll run at my own pace tomorrow."

"Li Qiang, you can try to get to the front."

Li Qiang stands at attention.

"yes!"

Zhao Hai put the stopwatch back in his pocket.

"But Class 3 can't fall behind. After you run to the front, look back at your class once."

Li Qiang paused for a moment.

"Squad leader, I've got it."

"Remember, don't just use your legs."

Li Qiang didn't argue back.

He glanced at the few soldiers in the third squad who were physically weak, slowed his pace by half a beat, and led them through a starting rhythm.

On Class One's side, Wang Dashan didn't bring anyone onto the track.

He led the team to the starting line and drew several lines with his shoe heel.

"I won't run the full five kilometers today."

Chen Jingxing couldn't help himself.

"Squad leader, the second squad has already started running, and we're still practicing walking here. What are we going to rely on to win tomorrow? Politeness?"

Wang Dashan raised his hand and pointed at him.

"Shut up."

Chen Jingxing lowered his head.

Wang Dashan swept through the class.

"Start, change speed, hydrate, regroup, cross the finish line."

"Practice these five steps repeatedly."

"If once isn't enough, try ten times; if ten times isn't enough, try twenty times."

"If we can't outrun others, we can't lose in terms of process."

No one in Class 1 responded.

But nobody was sure.

Class Two was running a simulation, Class Three was adjusting their pace, and Class One was standing by the starting line, practicing something that didn't really make them sweat.

Liu Hai couldn't sit still and called out in a low voice.

"Brother Xiao."

Xiao Longteng turned his head.

Liu Hai lowered his voice even further.

"I didn't actually run it; I was panicking."

Xiao Longteng only gave one sentence.

"Make sure you get every step right."

Liu Hai is still nervous.

"But we're running five kilometers tomorrow."

"I ran the five kilometers point by point."

Liu Hai paused for two seconds, then nodded.

Wang Dashan heard this but didn't stop him; he simply handed the training clip to Xiao Longteng.

"You come and dismantle the space."

Instead of standing at the front, Xiao Longteng took the training clip and pointed at Li Lei first.

"Front control".

Li Lei responded quickly.

"Yes."

"You're responsible for the start and the first speed change, and you'll record the breakpoints after the race."

"receive."

Xiao Longteng then called on Chen Jingxing.

"Middle section".

Chen Jingxing was stunned.

"Me? Me, in charge of the middle section? Brother Xiao, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Wang Dashan's shout brought it down.

"Just do what I tell you to do, don't dawdle."

Chen Jingxing immediately stood at attention.

"Report: I'm suddenly able to do it again."

Xiao Longteng tugged at the buckle on his water bottle.

"You're responsible for reminding people to stay hydrated, and also keeping an eye on their backpack straps."

Chen Jingxing looked down at his water bottle.

"I'm good at this job, and I'm good with words."

Wang Dashan glared at him.

"A mouth can get things done, but it can't be used for idle talk."

Finally, Xiao Longteng stood behind Liu Hai.

"Back guard."

Wang Dashan checked the location.

"Aren't you going to take the lead?"

"I won't accept it."

"reason."

"There are people controlling the front, so the back can't be empty."

Wang Dashan put the training clip back and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, let's practice like this."

In the first round, as soon as the starting command was given, Chen Jingxing took a half-step ahead, while Liu Hai was a half-beat behind, and the formation immediately split up.

Wang Dashan immediately called a halt.

"Let's try again!"

Chen Jingxing quickly retreated behind the line.

"Reporting, squad leader, I just arrived a little early out of enthusiasm."

"If you're this enthusiastic and arrive early tomorrow, our class will be short one person."

In the second round, the start was disrupted, the water station was chaotic, and two people went to touch the water bottle at the same time, their arms bumped together, and the team was jostled.

Wang Dashan didn't scold them; he simply led them back to the water replenishment point.

"Let's start over."

In the third round, when the formation was tightened, the front row didn't wait for the back row and rushed to the finish line, taking the inside position.

Wang Dashan slammed the training clip onto the ground.

"You're in the same class, not just going to a market!"

Chen Jingxing barely caught his breath, but the scolding made his scalp tingle.

"Squad leader, I've figured it out now. There are a lot of pitfalls in running."

Wang Dashan picked up the training clip.

"It's not too late to understand now."

"You'll understand by tomorrow, and the infirmary will reserve a bed for you."

In the fourth round, Li Lei's little notebook came in handy.

In each round, he only remembers three things: the starting break point, the water replenishment congestion point, and gathering those who are a step behind.

It's short, but every single one of the points is relevant to people.

Chen Jingxing stood in the middle with a kettle in his hand and started to get to work.

"Zhang Qiang, the kettle is shaking."

"Liu Hai, loosen the left shoulder strap of the backpack by half a finger."

"Li Lei, pull back a bit in the front row, or the back row won't be able to keep up."

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan didn't scold him.

Chen Jingxing then became a little bolder.

"Squad leader, does my mouth finally get a permanent position today?"

"Temporary staffing"

"Then I will cherish this position."

The fifth round.

The command was given, and no one rushed to grab anything.

Li Lei stepped forward to cover the rear, Chen Jingxing called out the position in the middle, and Xiao Longteng positioned himself half a step behind Liu Hai.

"ankle."

Liu Hai will be back soon.

"Three points, no numbness, can return to positive."

"breathe."

"Two steps, one vomiting."

"Stride length".

"Retract halfway."

This time, the hydration point wasn't crowded.

Take the kettle off, take a sip, and put it back on.

The backpack strap didn't come loose.

The formation spread out by half a beat after the speed change, but Li Lei pushed it back in.

At the finish line, the front row didn't scramble, and the back row wasn't thrown off.

Wang Dashan watched the entire process for a couple of seconds before speaking.

"This time, you look somewhat human."

Chen Jingxing almost burst out laughing.

"Class monitor, you're really good at using few words when praising someone."

"You want me to save even more?"

"No need, no need, this is enough."

Liu Hai stood at the finish line, looked down and straightened his toes.

It's not chaotic.

I didn't panic.

Xiao Longteng didn't praise him; he just handed him the training book.

"Write it down yourself."

Liu Hai took the pen.

"In the fifth round, the pain was three points, but I could change speed and didn't squeeze out any hydration points."

He wrote slowly and his characters were crooked, but this time he didn't ask whether he should write it or not.

After the second class's mock run, Sun Ming held his knees and gasped for breath.

"Squad leader, is our plan any good?"

Chen Fei didn't reply; his gaze remained fixed on Class One.

The class didn't run very far, but they practiced the starting line, hydration, and closing line several times.

The method was clumsy, but the last person in the class had already secured a spot.

Sun Ming looked in the direction he was looking.

"They're still going through the procedures."

Chen Fei closed the training clipboard.

"They won't compete with us in the first two kilometers tomorrow."

Sun Ming didn't react in time.

"Then what should we compete in?"

"We'll fight until we break up."

Sun Ming swallowed hard.

"Should we make some changes? Let's not push too hard at the front and damage the back seats."

Chen Fei remained silent for a few seconds.

"There's no time for major revisions."

"Notify Shift Two: maintain the same speed increase in the front row, but do not stop in the middle."

Sun Ming quickly agreed.

"Yes."

He ran two steps, then turned back.

"Squad leader, Squad leader Wang's move is pretty underhanded."

Chen Fei looked up.

"That's called leading troops."

Sun Ming shrank his neck.

"Report, my wording was imprecise."

In the afternoon safety education session, Lei Zhan spoke very frankly.

"The five-kilometer preliminary assessment is both an evaluation and a preliminary assessment."

"Report anyone with abnormal health conditions immediately."

"Anyone who conceals their injury and tries to cover it up will have their class grades reset to zero, and the class monitor will have to write a self-criticism."

At the back of the line, Lei Zhan pointed at Liu Hai.

"Bangs".

Liu Hai immediately stood up straight.

"arrive!"

"Report on your ankle condition as instructed by the sanitation worker."

"yes!"

Lei Zhan swept across the entire company again.

Don't mistake bravado for courage.

"If you're really going to have guts, then you'll understand every single step you take."

During the equipment re-inspection that evening, the dormitory was unusually quiet.

Wang Dashan sat in the middle, checking each set of documents one by one.

Backpack straps.

"tight."

"kettle."

"No shaking."

"shoelace."

"Press the tail end in."

"Protective gear".

"Stick it tight."

Chen Jingxing took his backpack over.

"Squad leader, my method is absolutely flawless."

Wang Dashan picked it up and shook it.

The kettle made a soft tapping sound.

Chen Jingxing immediately changed his tune.

"The report shows that the problem was proactively exposed, indicating its honesty."

"Re-tie."

"Yes."

Li Lei checked the records next to him, while Liu Hai sat on the lower bunk and finished writing the pain rating.

The notebook says: After dinner, 3:00 AM, before bed, 2:05 AM, toes can move, no numbness.

He handed the notebook to Xiao Longteng.

After reading it, Xiao Longteng handed it to Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan glanced at it twice.

"You are not allowed to run on the ground before the follow-up examination tomorrow morning."

Liu Hai got anxious.

"Class monitor, I just want to give it a try..."

Don't even think about it.

Chen Jingxing raised his hand.

"Reporting to the squad leader, I'm in charge of keeping an eye on him. If he gets out of bed, I'll shout."

Wang Dashan looked at him.

"He gets out of bed, so you should practice more too."

Chen Jingxing immediately turned to Liu Hai.

"Comrade Liu Hai, from now on, your right foot is under my control. If it dares to put weight on it, I'll fight it."

Liu Hai had no choice but to nod.

Before turning off the lights, eleven backpacks were placed under the bed, all facing the same direction and spaced the same, with the water bottle sealed up and the shoe tips pointing outwards.

Wang Dashan squatted down to inspect the row of people, neither praising nor scolding them.

He was about to turn off the light when he heard footsteps outside the door.

The communications officer stood at the door.

"Squad leader, the company commander has instructed you to take Xiao Longteng to the company headquarters."

Wang Dashan frowned.

"Now?"

"Now."

The communications officer paused for a moment, then added.

"Bring your training logbook with bangs."

Liu Hai propped himself up.

"Squad leader, does this mean I can't run tomorrow?"

Wang Dashan didn't answer.

Xiao Longteng picked up the notebook with red writing on it and followed Wang Dashan out of the dormitory.

At the end of the corridor, Lei Zhan held the group assignment list for tomorrow's assessment.

He handed the paper to Wang Dashan.

"The first group, Class 1, will depart tomorrow."

Just as Wang Dashan took the paper, Lei Zhan added another sentence.

"The rotating red flag will be hung in front of your class."
