Chapter 320: 400 Metres, First-Class Skill
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Alih ~ Company commander, be gentle! Gently…”
On the side of the parallel bars arena, Wang Ye moaned.
At this moment, Wang Ye was lying on a massage mat and enjoying the special treatment. The company commander and the instructor beside him personally helped him massage.
Of course, Wang Ye was not the only one who could enjoy such treatment.
This was a process that the internal competitors could enjoy after each competition, and it was a process that they had to go through.
The morning crawling tactic didn’t count.
Those events that would not cause any burden on everyone’s muscles did not require a massage.
However, after the five kilometres of cross-country training, the horizontal bar, and the parallel bars, he would definitely need a massage.
After a high-load exercise, the muscles would accumulate acid. If he did not do a massage, it would definitely affect his performance in the next event.
Of course, although it is just a massage it would definitely affect him to a certain extent.
However, there was no other way. The rules of the competition were like this. He could only do his best to eliminate this influence.
“Alright, bear with it. If you don’t relax, what if it affects your performance later?”
The company commander said as he poured some ointment into his hand.
Safflower oil was the army’s all-purpose medicine, and it was also one of the three pieces of divine equipment for every company’s medical personnel.
“Ouch ~”
Wang Ye gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Kang Hua just grinned, and Wu Jian Feng was no different.
However, he was smiling as he looked at the female reporter not far away. Then, he lowered his voice and lay down a little.”The reporters are here. You can’t drop the ball today, understand?”
“Alright!”
Wang Ye gritted his teeth and snorted.
The next event was the 400-metre obstacle course.
The division record for the 400-meter obstacle course was 1 minute 27.31 seconds.
Wang Ye had actually been able to break this score occasionally during his previous trainings.
However, Wu Jian Feng did not make a high-profile announcement.
Moreover, it was not very convincing for Wang Ye to break this record.
During training, the results were basically around 27 seconds per minute. Sometimes, it was one or two seconds slower, and sometimes, it was one or two seconds faster.
And overall, the number of times he was slow was even higher.
It could only be said that if Wang Ye performed well, he would definitely be able to break this record. However, it was not safe, especially in the martial arts competition assessment after the continuous transition.
If this event was the first match of the fourth consecutive match in the afternoon, or even the first match tomorrow morning, Wang Ye would have a higher chance of winning.
However, there was nothing he could do. The martial arts competition arranged by the division headquarters was the last one for Wang Ye this afternoon.
After the massage and rest, everyone was allowed to rest for a while and solve their personal problems.
It was not until four o’clock in the afternoon that the officer blew his whistle.
He gathered everyone and brought them to the four-hundred-metre obstacle arena not far away.
“That’s Wang Ye from the Fourth Company, right? They’re here for the 400-metre obstacle?”
“The brothers from the second regiment in the morning are going to have a tragedy. Wang Ye will definitely be able to beat him with a score of 1 minute and 31 seconds!”
“That’s for sure! “Not to mention Wang Ye, just now, when I looked at the training ground next door, 1 saw that Huang Da Yong and the others had also taken the 400-obstacle assessment.
With the results in the morning, not to mention Wang Ye, even Huang Da Yong could beat him!”
Wang Ye and the others were changing locations, and the other venues were also changing locations.
Moreover, because Wang Ye was on the 400-meter track, the soldier who had just participated in the 400-metre obstacle tournament was also from the Iron Bones Hero Squad.
When they saw this, they could not help but mutter and discuss.
The division’s reporter, Wang Xiao Fei, was walking to the side. When she happened to brush past them, she heard their voices.
Immediately, she rolled her eyes and waved her hand to turn the camera around.
“Hey, stop for a moment. I’ll only need a few seconds of your time!”
Wang Xiao Fei was prepared to interview the others about Wang Ye’s thoughts before he ran the 400-metre obstacle course…
Wang Ye naturally saw this scene, but he could only watch.
She was not under his control.
“Next, 1 will announce the rules of the competition!”
In front of the 400-metre obstacle course, the third-grade officer looked at everyone and said,” The 400-metre obstacle requires you to start in a prone position. You must carry a gun, a bullet bag, a water bottle, a satchel, and a grenade. You must cross the obstacle in the middle of the competition according to the regulations…”
The 400m steeplechase competition was definitely different from the usual daily training.
It was even different from when Wang Ye had broken the record as a recruit.
Back then, when Wang Ye was a recruit they ran empty-handed.
However, in a formal competition, one needed to bring weapons and equipment. At the same time, there were clear regulations on the requirements
for crossing obstacles.
For example, the deep pit.
During training, some veterans would actually jump directly to the opposite side and climb up without falling into the pit.
This was definitely forbidden in martial arts competitions.
Moreover, there were shortcuts to other obstacles.
Those methods might not be prohibited when everyone ran on a daily basis, but when Wang Ye and the others were training for martial arts competitions, they had unified the rules and banned these things.
Of course, Wang Ye had never done such a thing.
The experience and techniques he had obtained from the system did not include any tricks or tricks.
Soon, the rules were announced. Everyone first took off their backpacks and carried the required weapons and equipment. Then, the referee came over to check them one by one.
During the inspection, someone from the cannon company and the heavy machine gun company couldn’t help but look at Wang Ye.
But they didn’t say anything.
In this round, before everyone set off, or when they had long received the notice of the competition, no one had thought of competing with Wang Ye.
He was a freak. Even a recruit could run such a result. Now that so much time had passed, they weren’t sure if the division record could be broken.
However, they knew one thing, and that was that they could forget about competing with Wang Ye on this project.
They were on completely different levels.
Therefore, they didn’t say anything when they arrived. They just silently prepared for the competition.
Soon, Number 211 and Number 212 were called out.
The 400-metre obstacle course had four 100-metre long running tracks, but it could only accommodate two people at a time.
This was because the four 100-metre running tracks consisted of two barehanded 100-metre running tracks and two 100-metre obstacle running tracks.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out.
The two artillery soldiers ran out together.
Wang Ye and the others were watching, and so were the cannon company and the heavy machine guns.
They didn’t even cheer. It was very quiet. Compared to the parallel bars on both sides and the cheers from the individual tactical arena, it was as if no one was here at the obstacle course.
“Old Hong, do you think Wang Ye can break the record for the 400m sprint?”
In the tent, the commander smiled as he looked back at Regiment Commander Hong.
It’s a little difficult. He just did the parallel bars, so it might affect his results!”
Commander Hong replied with a smile.
Wu Jian Feng didn’t hide Wang Ye’s results on the 400-metre obstacle course. He said that Wang Ye could sometimes run within 1 minute and 27 seconds.
Of course, he was still suspicious of Wu Jian Feng.
He suspected that Wu Jian Feng was still holding back.
Of course, he was also looking forward to Wu Jian Feng holding back.
Although he was cursing, he really liked this kind of surprise.
In fact, even the regiment commander was a little nervous.
Looking at Wang Ye on the screen, he was thinking that if Wu Jian Feng really held back, it would be great if Wang Ye broke the record of the entire army.
After all, the current record for the entire army was 1 minute and 23 seconds, and Wu Jian feng had told him that Wang Ye’s fastest time was 26 seconds.
The difference of three seconds sounded like a matter of taking a few more breaths.
However, he only dared to think about it, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was a little impossible.
After all, after reaching this level of 400 metres, every second of improvement was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
“It’s just a little difficult. Old Hong, you mean he can still break it, right?”The other regiment commanders chimed in.
After saying that, he added,” This is ridiculous. A recruit has created two records!”At this moment, everyone could hear the jealousy in his tone.
“Old Hong, how about changing soldiers? Give me Wang Ye, and you can choose any of my soldiers!”A regiment commander suddenly said with a smile.
” Hehe…” Commander Hong rolled his eyes.
What’s this nonsense?
Did he lack soldiers?
Alright, good soldiers, good squad leaders, and so on were definitely not too many.
But using Wang Ye to exchange for it?
Wasn’t this the same as using a king bomb to exchange for a few queens and kings during Fight the Landlord?
Unless he was really stupid, how could he do this kind of business?
“1 minute 43.6 seconds!”
1 minute 45 seconds 21!”
The two soldiers of the Pao Company came back panting.
The results were all beyond one minute and forty seconds.
This level belonged to an existence that could not enter the arena in the Fourth Company.
However, in the Pao Company, they had more professional training and less training in the 400-metre run, so this result was not surprising.
Moreover, among the remaining four people, two of them were within one minute and forty seconds.
The Pao Company Private ran for 1 minute and 37 seconds.
However, no one cheered.
Even though he had achieved such a result, the members of the Pao Company and the heavy machine gun company only looked at Wang Ye’s side for the first time. Then, the members of the Pao Company silently helped him to rest.
He couldn’t be high-profile in this match, or he would be slapped in the face later.
“Hey, Old Wang, they’re all looking at you. Don’t disappoint us later. Do your best today.”Beside Wang Ye, a sergeant from Class 9 said with a smile.
It wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either. Since everyone was still in formation, the heavy machine gun company in front would definitely be able to hear it.
“Hehe, you think too highly of me!” Wang Ye said with a smile.
He did want to break the record of the entire army, but so far, he could only think about it.
Of course, it wasn’t impossible to give it a try.
He wanted to see if he could increase it by three to four seconds at once.
Although the hope was slim, Wang Ye did have this idea later.
If the division record was broken, it would at most be a third-class merit.
However, if they could break the record, then even second-class merits might not even be enough. It might even be a first-class merit.
It would be a lie for Wang Ye to say that he didn’t want first-class merit.
Not to mention Wang Ye, which soldier wouldn’t want first-class merit?
Unfortunately, this thing was not something that could be obtained easily.
There was a difference of three to four seconds.
This time sounded very short, but on the track, it was at least a distance of 20 metres.
