Chapter 304: One person's strength carries the team forward! [Please subscribe! Please vote for the monthly ticket! ] "Hold on!" "Zhang Biao, you can do it!" Standing in the empty arena, Zhang Biao sometimes opened and sometimes clenched his hands. He breathed in big gulps of air, trying to calm himself down in this way. However, this action not only failed to relieve Zhang Biao's pressure, but made him feel a little short of oxygen and his brain was dizzy. For this regular class competition, Zhao Weihong and all members of the breeding team have put in nearly half a year of hard work, just to make the name of "347th Regiment Special Training Breeding Team" resound throughout the Liaodong military region! They had anticipated all possible situations and were prepared for them. But when he really stood on the competition field, Zhang Biao found that competition was not an easy thing. The burden of the team, the leader's attention, and the expectations of comrades. Each one of these could bring tremendous pressure to a person, enough to crush any determined warrior! In order to successfully become a member of the established class, Zhang Biao made a lot of efforts and thought he was qualified, so he stood beside Zhao Weihong as a "companion". But now, Zhang Biao was afraid and scared!
He began to worry whether he was qualified to represent the 347th Regiment in the competition, and whether he would affect Zhao Weihong's future in the competition! "What are you thinking about?" Hearing Zhao Weihong's familiar voice, Zhang Biao suddenly came back to his senses from his messy thoughts, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. "Don't be nervous, just do it as we normally train." "Hurry up and stretch your bodies. I won't warm up with you guys." After saying that, Zhao Weihong began to stretch his body on the spot, with an extremely relaxed expression on his face, as if what was waiting for them next was not a team competition that concerned honor or even Zhao Weihong's personal future. Instead, it is a routine training that the breeding team conducts every day. Seeing Zhao Weihong so "relaxed", the tension in Zhang Biao's heart gradually disappeared. After a moment, Zhang Biao, a generous man from Northeast China, began to warm up while imitating Zhao Weihong, smiling and shaking his head. Yes. Just as Zhao Weihong said, there was actually no need for Zhang Biao to be nervous. They have already made the necessary efforts. Those who can stand here now are the ten best people from the 347th Regiment’s Special Training Breeding Team! It was Zhao Weihong who gave them the opportunity to stand here. Zhao Weihong is not worried that they will break away from her, so why should Zhang Biao and others be worried? What Zhang Biao and others have to do now is to win this exercise with a desperate performance in order to repay Zhao Weihong's trust and dedication to them! "Are you ready?" Hearing the chief referee's question, Zhao Weihong immediately stood at attention, but did not rush to answer. Instead, he turned around and looked at his comrades. Only after everyone in the breeding team nodded to Zhao Weihong did Zhao Weihong express his confidence. "You can start anytime!" "Then start getting dressed." "Yes!"
The chief referee just waved his hand back. Almost a platoon of support personnel immediately brought up the equipment that Zhao Weihong and others needed to carry during the competition. Needless to say, items like water bottles, backpacks, and helmets are all standard equipment for the army during combat. But compared with the "combat readiness attire" worn during the five-kilometer armed march, the equipment that Zhao Weihong and others are going to carry this time can be said to be armed to the teeth! In an infantry squad of ten people, seven are equipped with Type 81 rifles, and the remaining three need to carry Type 85 light machine guns, Type 98 sniper rifles, plus the Type 120 mm heavy rocket launcher, which is known as the "individual cannon"! It is a very standard "rifle group + machine gun group + firepower group" of the infantry squad, and is also equipped with a sniper. Such firepower configuration is already very exaggerated. If placed on the battlefield, an infantry squad of this size is fully capable of "tearing apart" a main battle tank with bare hands! But it's not over yet. Except for the rocket launcher operator, the rest of the people need to carry a PF89 80mm disposable rocket launcher separately! Such firepower configuration can no longer be described as "powerful", it is simply outrageous and insane! This is the infantry squad weapons equipment standard that was redefined last year. In later generations, pictures of army soldiers holding PF89 rocket launchers often circulated on the Internet, trying to prove that the Yan State Army’s inherent "fear of insufficient firepower" was probably incurable. There are even some anecdotes saying that the PF89 rocket launcher does not count towards the equipment list and can be carried at will. But in fact, as early as the beginning of the century, the Yan State Army began this "bazooka washing the ground" behavior. It is explicitly stipulated that everyone must carry one PF89 rocket launcher. Of course, as long as the person involved doesn't mind being tired, no one will stop him from bringing a few more. They are all used against the enemy anyway, and this thing is cheap, so you won't feel bad about using a hundred of them! But in actual training, carrying so much equipment is obviously not a very pleasant thing. The huge PF98 rocket launcher often requires two people to transport it during actual marches. The PF89 rocket launcher that everyone carries is not much better. Not only does it often swing around on the body, it is also quite heavy. Zhao Weihong and others who put on this equipment had to carry a weight of nearly 30 kilograms per person. People with poor fitness would have difficulty taking two steps with this weight, let alone completing a very high-intensity competition. This is the Army’s regular squad competition based on actual combat. Compared with quality, the regular squad competition places more emphasis on team coordination and performance in situations close to the battlefield. Therefore, the number of events in which the regular classes compete is not large, and there are no records to speak of. But each event is extremely "brutal", simulating almost all possible scenarios on the battlefield! "Let me explain the scoring rules for this competition." "The full score is 100. When the project is completed, if the team lacks a piece of equipment, one point will be deducted." If it is an individual competition, it is a "score system." The competition for the established classes is a more stringent "point deduction system." Not only do we have to strive for a fast enough speed, but we also have to see who makes fewer mistakes! Even in the sub-items of each event, there are time limits for passing these sub-items. Points will be deducted if the time exceeds the limit. It can be said that this is extremely meticulous! But this is not "finding faults". After all, there is no time for procrastination on the battlefield!
"The first event is a one-kilometer armed assault!" "Please take your positions at the starting point!" After Zhao Weihong and others put on their equipment with great effort. The chief referee glanced in the direction of Deputy Chief Wei, and immediately announced that the competition among the regular classes had officially begun! It seems that the first event that Zhao Weihong and others have to face is quite easy. It is only one kilometer, which sounds much easier than the armed five-kilometer race. But in reality, this one kilometer will be more torturous than the 400-meter obstacle course. Zhao Weihong and others not only have to overcome various obstacles along the way, but also have to complete "small tests" such as "ammunition transportation and wounded escort" waiting for them. And they have to overcome obstacles and complete the task while carrying nearly 60 kilograms of weight until they reach the finish line! "Deputy class leader." "Ok?" "If we don't get first place in the end, you won't blame me, will you?" Before he finished speaking, a non-commissioned officer from the breeding team immediately scolded Zhang Biao. "What depressing words are you talking about?" "Are you scared now? What were you thinking about?" Zhao Weihong stretched out a hand to stop the sergeant from speaking, then turned to Zhang Biao and spoke seriously. "Blame you? Why should I blame you?" "We are a team, a whole." "If the final result is really not ideal, then everyone in our team is responsible. How can we blame it on one person?" After slightly adjusting the position of the helmet and tightening the belt to ensure that the water bottle bag around the waist would not shake violently while running, Zhao Weihong continued. "Besides, I have great confidence in us." "The first place in this class competition must belong to us!" "Even if we do miss out on first place, we can only say that we are not as skilled as others. There is nothing to regret." "Because we have done our best with all our strength." "Is not it?" At the end, Zhao Weihong brought Zhang Biao to the starting point and waited for the referee's command. "Da Biao, don't think so much." "Empty your mind. You should be good at this!" "Just follow me to the finish line like you normally do in training, and don't leave any regrets for yourself!" "Yes!"
Seeing that Zhao Weihong and others finally stopped talking, the chief referee raised the starting gun in his hand at the right time! "boom!" As soon as the smoke from the muzzle of the gun came out, Zhao Weihong and others strode towards the first obstacle they were about to challenge in a very neat "formation"! Zhao Weihong took the lead and ran in front, followed by Zhang Biao and others who were in groups of three. Each person and each group did not interfere with each other and worked in an orderly manner. I don't know how much sweat they put in on the training ground to have such tacit understanding at the moment! "Snapped!" Throw the Type 81 rifle behind your back. Zhao Weihong was the first to bend down and prepare to pass through the 50-meter barbed wire. At the starting point of the barbed wire, there are two army green roto-plastic ammunition boxes. Zhao Weihong and others need to drag the ammunition boxes through the barbed wire to the designated location one hundred meters away. Normally, the two ammunition boxes will be given to the two best people in the team, who will drag the ammunition boxes out of the barbed wire and then hand them over to others for transportation. In order to implement this tactic, the two people with the best qualities need to fall to the end of the team and finally enter the barbed wire so as not to affect the passage of other comrades. But at this moment, Zhao Weihong, contrary to his usual behavior, ran to the front of the team. It is clear. Zhao Weihong and his team had no intention of adopting this conventional tactic! Under the astonished gaze of Deputy Chief Wei and others, Zhao Weihong, who was the first to run to the barbed wire, actually took out a backpack rope from his pocket, and directly threaded the two ammunition boxes together. Then he bent down, ready to drag the two ammunition boxes out of the barbed wire by his own strength! These are two ammunition boxes weighing 40 kilograms each, and Zhao Weihong is carrying nearly 60 kilograms of weight on his body! But Zhao Weihong's actions did not show any hesitation, as if she had been prepared for it! The competition among the regular classes had just begun, but Zhao Weihong had already revealed his determination! He has to carry the entire team forward by himself! (End of this chapter)
