Chapter fifty-seven
In the early morning, amid the loud military horns, a group of soldiers on the school field were running around. As the saying goes, the plan for the year lies in spring, and the plan for the day lies in morning. The soldiers of the Hulin Army did not run two or three miles early in the morning, so how could they have the nerve to meet people?
Nearly eight years have passed, and the training methods of Hulin Army have changed a lot. Based on the consideration of protecting knees, the proportion of weight running when practicing foot strength has dropped a lot. Long-distance running once a day in the morning and evening is mainly lightweight.
Long-distance running is about endurance. On weekdays, we usually practice both legs and feet in the "gym". Of course, there are also frequent armed cross-country running, but it is not as crazy as before.
In addition, all kinds of popular training programs when they started the first time have been continued, and many new tricks have also changed. The soldiers who finished the long-distance running have to start a day of training after breakfast.
Practice for three days and one day off. This is a rule that cannot be broken. In the past eight years, the soldiers in the military camp have changed many times, but the intensity of such training has not changed. In addition, the night emergency gatherings that come from time to time can make the newly enlisted soldiers feel happy.
Years of military training experience have allowed the Hulin Army to form a complete set of training recruits. Civilians who are likely to be farmers, fishermen, miners, and hawkers the day before will need to go through at least three months of high-intensity training to become qualified soldiers.
It is normal to be illiterate and unable to distinguish left and right. Different accents lead to some troubles in communication, while general malnutrition leads to uneven physical fitness.
Although there has been a round of screening during the interview, the phenomenon of malnutrition in the recruits is very common. After all, many people may not be able to eat a few bites of meat a year, so they can only die suddenly after exercising.
Not only have I almost never eaten meat, but I may not even eat much salt. The Hulin Army’s food is good, so it is easy for hungry ghosts to eat these meats, and then they die suddenly, or diarrhea and exhaustion.
Therefore, you should not be anxious about such soldiers. The diet should be improved slowly and the amount of training should be from low to high. Therefore, before training, you need to conduct a survey to teach according to your aptitude. Good quality can speed up the progress appropriately.
In a certain school yard, recruits are undergoing a capability test, and there are three projects: endurance, strength, and degree.
The test method for degree is sprinting. The distance of fifty steps is a qualified one. The run is completed within a limited time. There are 43 recruits in this group, and the assessment result is 27 passes.
Next is the endurance test, which is a long-distance running method, and a total of two miles of distance will be completed within a limited time. If you can't finish it, you won't force it to avoid the sudden death of a new recruit with poor physical fitness on the spot.
Twenty-five new recruits passed the long-distance run in this group. Although the remaining ones failed, they all ended up running the entire journey.
The recruits who had run two miles were sweating heavily. After wiping the cloth towels, they drank a bowl of salt water, lined up to sit on the ground and recovered their strength. At the same time, they listened to the recruits explaining the precautions.
"Everyone comes to join the army, some are alone, and some are with their families. Now they live in the recruits' dormitory area. During the one-month trial period, they include food and accommodation, but the family's food is only considered as a woman's weight."
"There are no fires allowed to cook in the dormitory area. For extra family members, they can go to the kitchen to pay for meals and are not allowed to take out food. Of course, family members can also choose to live outside."
"If you have family members, you can stay together for three days after entering the camp. From the fourth day, you must stay in the collective dormitory. Of course, you can go to the dormitory where your family members live when you don't train on weekdays, and you must go back to the camp at night!"
"After a month, those who have passed the trial training will have to live in the military camp. The family members can live elsewhere, or transfer to the military district dormitory to continue accommodation, but regardless of the meals, you must use your monthly living expenses to support them!"
"The Hulin Army is different from other military camps. The same thing is that it has many military disciplines. The difference is that military discipline must be strictly abide by. Whoever dares to violate the discipline will bear the consequences of his own conscience, and no one will be concerned about his feelings!"
Zhang Dinghe listened quietly. He had heard about these contents when he brought his wife into the dormitory area. Now the recruits are emphasizing again, which is a reminder again that if someone violates the discipline, they will be swept out.
There was a slogan outside the wall, and the soldiers in the barracks were practicing, and the training grounds of the new recruits were separated separately, so they could not see what was going on on the other side of the wall. Zhang Dinghe listened to the fiery shouts and wondered what the scene would be when the Hulin Army was actually training.
Seeing the recruits listening to the movements on the other side of the wall, the recruits were laughing and said, "Don't think so much. After the test is over, I will open everyone's eyes."
The recruits who were looking at the pocket watch beside him waved to the team, and the team immediately clapped: "The rest time is up, start the last test!"
Strength tests are usually carried by stone locks or stone bons. Zhang Dinghe has practiced both of these things, but the Hulin Army used to test strength is very special. It is an instrument called "smashing the big hammer".
A base is a base with an iron pillar with a scale engraved on it, and there is a protrusion on the base. The tester swung a large hammer and smashed it to the protrusion. An iron weight at the bottom of the iron pillar will rise along the iron pillar.
The weight is full of weight, and the higher the lift, the greater the strength you are to swing the mallet. Using this thing to test your strength seems to be safer than using a stone lock or a stone load, and it is not easy to sprain your arm.
The deputy of the recruit team explained the specific test process and picked up a wooden hammer to demonstrate it himself, but it didn't work hard.
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, the team was adding precautions: In order to avoid cheating, you are not allowed to jump and swing the mallet, which means that your feet cannot leave the ground.
With the "bang bang", the recruits smashed the hammers one after another to test their strength, but no one could break through the red line drawn on the iron column scale. Zhang Dinghe thought about whether that line was the highest record?
Because he wanted to challenge the highest record, when it was his turn, he took a deep breath and Zhang Dinghe used all his strength to swing the big hammer down.
With a bang, the weight rose up, higher than the others, but still couldn't pass the red line.
The clerk on the side recorded the values. After Zhang Dinghe walked away, a tall recruit picked up the mallet. He also noticed the red line, so he took a deep breath and swung the mallet and smashed it down.
With a bang, the hammer handle broke, and the weight suddenly rushed up, easily breaking through the red line. The team deputy next to him glanced at the height and recorded it.
"Is it very strong? The iron rod?"
The recruits said in a turbulent manner, signaling the soldiers next to them to replace with a wooden hammer. Seeing that the wooden hammer was smashed by him, Mai Tiebang touched his head embarrassedly, and then asked tentatively: "The team is right, don't you know what this red line is?"
"Please raise your hand before asking."
After Mai Tiebob raised his hand, the recruits replied: "That red line is the passing line, you passed."
"Ah? Just passing the exam?"
Mai Tiezhang was stunned when he heard this, Zhang Dinghe and his companions were even more surprised: the red line was only in the middle of the iron column scale bar. Could it be that someone could hit the top?
"Yes, what about that?" the recruits were laughing, "This is a daily assessment project. Those who fail the qualification will be punished to clean up. Don't worry, you are recruits and will not make any requirements for the time being."
Mai Tiezhang looked at Tiezhu, looking a little dissatisfied. Seeing this, the recruits waved to the orderly soldiers who were cleaning up the venue: "Come on, show your skills to everyone."
The orderly soldiers smiled and waved their hands: "Don't, people will say we're bullying later."
"Talking, any one is fine. You are you, come and swing it."
A relatively thin soldier walked up and smiled embarrassedly in front of everyone's eyes. He picked up a wooden hammer and walked to the "smashing big hammer", took a deep breath, and then swung the hammer and smashed it down.
With a bang, the weight rushed directly to the top of the iron column, collided with the limiting wooden block, and reached the end of the scale bar.
"Actually, this is no big deal, right?"
The recruits were laughing and signaling the soldier to retreat. Looking at the stunned recruits, his smile became stronger: "The three items I have tested just now, I just want to touch everyone's bottom..."
