The lieutenant returned the salute, "Hello, my name is Zhao Tao. I'm the squad leader of the tenth squad."
Which unit are you from?
Zhao Tao asked.
"Southeast Theater Command, 702nd Regiment, B Division, Army Group A!"
Zhao Tao nodded. "I'm from the Northwest Theater Command. Welcome to our fourth squad. From now on, we'll be a team. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the senior trainees or me."
“We were all promoted from the military, so we’re all easy to get along with.”
The implication is that those who get in through the college entrance exam are not easy to get along with.
"Yes."
Tang Ming saluted.
Liu Jintao said, "Alright, Zhao Tao, you arrange accommodation for him. I'll talk to the company commander."
"Yes!"
After Liu Jintao left, Zhao Tao offered to help Tang Ming carry his luggage. "Let's go, I'll take you back to your dorm first."
"Excuse me! Don't I need to go for a run?"
Tang Ming asked.
"running?"
Zhao Tao paused for a moment, glanced at the Seventh Company members on the parade ground two hundred meters away, and laughed, "You've just arrived and haven't settled in yet, so you don't need to go. Besides, their voices really aren't as loud as yours, so a little punishment is justified."
"Report! I request to be punished along with everyone else!"
Tang Ming shouted, "You just said it yourself, now that I'm in the fourth platoon, we're a team. If one person makes a mistake, the whole team is punished. I'm willing to be punished along with my comrades! Please allow me to run three kilometers too!"
Zhao Tao nodded with satisfaction.
"No wonder he came from the military, I admire his awareness!"
"Alright! Go ahead!"
"Yes! Thank you, squad leader!"
After saying that, Tang Ming saluted Zhao Tao and then turned and ran towards the playground.
By this time, the people in the fourth row and the other rows had been running out for almost two minutes.
The playground is very large, unlike the school's running track, which is only 400 meters long.
It's ten thousand meters!
Three kilometers means running three large laps.
In two minutes, all four rows of trainees had run more than half the distance.
Running three kilometers is the same as running five kilometers; it tests a soldier's physical fitness and endurance.
Try to run as fast as possible for the first kilometer.
In the middle kilometer, you can slow down a little and maintain a steady pace.
The last kilometer marks the final sprint.
That's why everyone ran such a long distance in less than two minutes in the first kilometer.
After Tang Ming rushed up, Zhao Tao also ran up after him.
However, he didn't run after them; he was holding a stopwatch and timing them.
"Huh? Why is that new guy from the fourth row here too?"
The squad leaders of the other three platoons were taken aback when they saw Tang Ming rush forward.
"That's fast! Is this kid out of his mind? Starting with a 100-meter sprint?"
The three were slightly surprised by Tang Ming's speed, and then revealed a mocking smile.
"If you start running this fast, you'll be exhausted after 500 meters at most!"
"Looks like another one who got in through connections. Doesn't know anything."
The three exchanged a glance, all revealing a hint of contempt and mockery.
"What's wrong with this guy? Has he never run a long distance before?"
Zhao Tao ran down and saw this scene, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"No way, did this guy get promoted from a clerk position? Or did he just get in through connections and not have any real ability?"
Generally speaking, people who have undergone proper military training for a period of time would not make such a basic mistake.
No one can sprint at full speed at the beginning and still have the energy to finish the race!
Company Commander's Office.
"Is this how special forces train? Treating three kilometers like a 100-meter sprint?"
By the window, Company Commander Wang Zhan saw the scene on the parade ground and paused for a moment.
Liu Jintao was also puzzled, "Special forces soldiers are human too. Our company has had special forces soldiers before, but none of them were like this!"
While everyone was still in a daze and chatting, half a minute had already passed.
Tang Ming had run nearly 300 meters by this time.
That sprinting speed is comparable to that of Olympic athletes.
But he still showed no sign of slowing down.
"This kid has amazing explosive power! He can actually maintain his speed for 300 meters. I don't think there are many people in our school who can do that, right?"
"Hmph! For us soldiers, physical fitness isn't about explosive power, it's about endurance! What's the use of explosive power? When you're out in battle, if you're like an old soldier, you have to run several kilometers before anyone will dare send you to the battlefield."
"Yes, just watch, he can only run another two hundred meters at most before his speed drops drastically!"
By this time, the main force had run nearly a kilometer, and their overall speed had slowed down.
The dozen or so people running at the front are all elites from their respective platoons; they are all capable of running under eleven minutes.
They are all competing.
At this point, it's a competition between the rows, and no one can afford to be at the bottom.
Otherwise, if we lose, we'll be trained to death by the squad leader and platoon leader when we get back.
After that, there are those with relatively good physical fitness who can run under twelve minutes without any problem.
Two-thirds of the people are in the middle management.
As for the remaining people, judging from their current actions, it is clearly unlikely that they will be able to get in.
Even among those promoted from the military, six or seven fell behind.
These individuals, perhaps as Zhao Tao stated, were promoted from units with relatively low training intensity.
For example, tank soldiers and armored soldiers are technical branches, unlike pure infantry who are constantly engaged in physical training, so their physical fitness may not be up to par.
Of course, some student officers also lack the necessary qualities.
Let alone military academies, there are many who are not up to par even in field troops.
Everywhere you go, there are elite soldiers and weak soldiers.
This is normal.
"Five hundred meters! He's about to collapse."
The squad leader of the three platoons hummed in response.
But, ten seconds later...
Tang Ming had already run nearly 600 meters.
The speed showed no signs of slowing down, maintaining the pace of a 100-meter sprint!
"This is impossible! How could this guy maintain his explosive power for so long?"
The three squad leaders' expressions changed, their faces filled with disbelief!
Even the most physically gifted person can only run a maximum of four or five hundred meters at full speed.
Let alone maintaining that sprint speed, even if he slows down by a third, he won't have the energy to run anymore!
But the current Tang Ming is a complete oddball!
Six hundred meters... no, while they were still in shock, it was already seven hundred meters, and this guy was still running at high speed!
This is simply incredible!
"This guy... he's defying the heavens! Is this even possible for a human?"
Zhao Tao couldn't help but smack his lips.
In the office, Company Commander Wang Zhan and Liu Jintao also looked dazed.
"This special forces soldier from Wolf Fang is much stronger than any of the special forces soldiers we've led before!"
Wang Zhan trembled as he spoke.
Liu Jintao gave a wry smile and immediately told him how Tang Ming had been promoted to captain at the young age of eighteen.
After hearing this, Wang Zhan was completely stunned.
"Damn, our company just got a royal flush!"
A moment later, Wang Zhan exclaimed in delight, "Great! With this guy around, our company will definitely have a chance to win the school championship in the school competition three months from now!"
“In previous years, we were always ranked in the middle, and it was difficult to even get into the top ten in any subject.”
"With this guy around, we can really shine this time!"
While they were talking, Tang Ming had already run a kilometer.
A whole lap!
It took less than two minutes!
