Chapter 116: Putting New Recruits in Their Place!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Instructor, why are you here? Come and sit.”
Qin Yuan did not rush to answer. He first pulled a chair over for Gong Jian and explained,
“Instructor, I’m sure you know the reason why I’m doing this. When new recruits join the company, the most important thing is to build their minds and train their physical strength. They just arrived today, so I can’t train them to death the moment they arrive. I have to give them some time, a buffer period, so that they can be prepared mentally.”
“Good, Old Qin. As expected of the person that Regiment Commander Kang has taken a fancy to. You’re both civil and martial, have excellent military qualities, have high awareness, and also proficient in leading troops.”
How could Gong Jian not understand this? He was a top student at the National Defense University and the instructor of the 4th Company. Leading troops was also his forte.
Then he asked, “How long do you plan to let them prepare mentally?”
“One night, just tonight. Although you’re the one in charge of this, this batch of soldiers is different from the past!”
“Qin Yuan, it’s still you. This year’s batch of soldiers is indeed much better than the previous ones. I just don’t know how you plan to treat them!” Gong Jian looked at the serious Qin Yuan and said with a smile.
“Did you see that, Captain Qin? This batch of new recruits has a good overall quality, and there are two outstanding individuals. I’m afraid many veterans can’t compare to them in physical training this afternoon,” Gong Jian said. Obviously, Gong Jian had his eyes on He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing.
“Then I’ll leave the training to you!”
“Don’t worry! It was still the same. Just like before, let’s train them like we did with the fourth company!”
Qin Yuan knew that if he was right, He Chenguang and the others were sent to the Iron Fist Regiment by Fan Tiankeng.
However, soldiers like them were like a rare breed of horses that had caught the eye of both Qin Yuan and Gong Jian.
Unknowingly, the two of them talked late into the night.
At five o’clock in the morning, on the field of the recruit company.
Qin Yuan, Gong Jian, the squad leader, and the other squad leaders were already up.
“Lao Hei, let’s do this.”
Listening to the conversation between the two company commanders, Lao Hei couldn’t help but ponder. Then, he asked,
“This recruit training has just begun. Is there a need to be so ruthless?”
“Lao Hei, just do as I told the instructor. It won’t be a problem.”
Qin Yuan replied.
Lao Hei did not hesitate anymore. He blew the whistle in his hand. His mission was to cooperate with Qin Yuan and the others. It could only be said that the recruits this year were a little miserable. They met Qin Yuan as soon as they arrived in the army. The squad leader could only pity them in his heart.
“Get up, gather the entire company.”
After a few minutes, the entire company was assembled.
Qin Yuan stood in front of the recruits and said,
“Hello, comrades. I believe that after a night of rest, everyone has a basic understanding of the army. I also believe that after a night of rest, everyone has already adapted to life in the army.”
“I’m Qin Yuan, the company commander of the Iron Fist Regiment’s logistics company.”
“Sir.”
Before Qin Yuan could finish, he was interrupted by a soldier.
“Speak.”
“What does the logistics company do?” Li Erniu asked.
“Logistics company is responsible for storing and supplying materials to all units of the regiment when needed. Specifically, it involves activities such as pig farming and vegetable cultivation.”
“I’m familiar with that. I used to grow vegetables with my grandmother at home. I also have a chef’s certificate. “Li Erniu said.
When the recruits heard that the company commander was in charge of logistics, they could not help but have some thoughts in their hearts.
They came to the army to become soldiers, expecting to handle various weapons such as airplanes and cannons and to train in the barracks to become capable of dominating the battlefield and galloping across the world.
It could be said that this was what most recruits thought.
However, this company commander was in charge of logistics. Why would the army let him train their recruits? Did they ask the logistics company’s company commander to teach them how to raise pigs?
Everyone couldn’t help but feel indignant. Wang Yanbing even laughed out loud.
Qin Yuan could tell what everyone was thinking through their expressions, but he ignored them.
He thought to himself, ‘You guys will suffer later.’ He continued,
“Alright, stop talking, and let me finish.”
“Our instructor, Gong Jian, is the instructor of the Sharpshooter 4th Company.
Do you know why it is called the Sharpshooter 4th Company? Because in the 4th Company, there are more than 100 soldiers, and every one of them is a sharpshooter. Our squad leader Lao Hei is also a soldier of the 4th Company…”
Qin Yuan spoke for ten minutes, explaining the history of the Iron Fist Regiment to the recruits. He also introduced each company.
He then gave the recruits a simple explanation of the training plan.
Then, he asked Lao Hei to arrange the training and carry it out immediately.
“Everyone, change into your fitness suits. In two minutes, gather at the 400-meter track. If anyone is late within the stipulated time, the entire company will be punished and dismissed.”
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing were the first to react after the squad leader finished speaking. They immediately rushed back to the squad room. When the others saw this, they quickly went back to collect their clothes.
Two minutes later, at the starting point of the 400-meter runway, the entire company of soldiers had gathered.
“Everyone, get ready for five kilometers.”
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing quickly rushed out and ran to the front of the team. The others were unwilling to fall behind and followed closely behind.
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing, these two enemies, were always at odds with each other, trying to prove that they were stronger than the other party.
The two of them sprinted with all their might and quickly pulled away from the recruits behind them.
After one lap, Lao Hei, the squad leader, checked the time and couldn’t help but admire their speed. They could even keep up with the veterans with this speed. I’ll take these two boys for my Fourth Company,
After two laps, the two of them slowed down. They were still bickering as they ran.
“The two of you, use all your strength and stop talking, run faster.”
The squad leader roared.
Qin Yuan had been standing on the side of the track since early on. At this moment, behind him, the soldiers of the logistics company were fully armed. Each of them had fifteen kilograms of stones in their backpacks.
As the timer in the squad leader’s hand reached three minutes, Qin Yuan spoke.
“Logistics Company.”
“Yes.”
“All of you, gear up with your weapons and 30 pounds load, we’re starting the 5 -kilometer armed march now.”
Qin Yuan only wanted the logistics company to give these recruits a little blow. To be honest, letting the current logistics company show its strength to these recruits was a little like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
All of a sudden, all the soldiers of the logistics company rushed out together. The weight of 30 pounds was like a toy to the logistics company.
They were extremely happy today. During the afternoon training, the deputy company commander told them that the company commander had asked them to attack this group of recruits. Without even thinking, a group of people rushed over to the recruit company.
They didn’t split up and run alone. Instead, they advanced in a square formation.
Their speed was extremely fast. Soon, they overtook a recruit and then overtook the second recruit. They kept surpassing them.
He Chenguang saw the commotion from afar.
He didn’t know what was going on when he saw them carrying backpacks.
It was only when they started running that he realized that this group of seasoned soldiers had been pulled over by the company commander to rub off their spirit.
Of course, he wasn’t convinced, so he secretly increased his pace.
However, this made Wang Yanbing suffer.
Of course, he wasn’t convinced by He Chenguang. However, he had already made a few rounds, and this kid could still speed up. Although it was very tiring, he still followed.
Their speed was definitely not slow.
However, the logistics company was even faster. In a short while, they had already surpassed He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing.
The soldiers of the logistics company kept surpassing them.
The squad leader looked at the soldiers of the logistics company and couldn’t help but exclaim. The soldiers of the logistics company were indeed different. It was as if this was just a game to the logistics company.
All of them did not even breathe heavily. Fortunately, the Fourth Company had been trained by Qin Yuan for two months, but it was undeniable that the gap between the Logistics Company and the Fourth Company had widened..
