My Military Career in a Parallel World

Chapter 261 National Day, Class 5’s second competition!

Disassembling and reassembling firearms is not a difficult project. Although the weapons in your hands have changed, the general structure and principles are similar.

After practicing a few times, everyone basically learned it.

His speed and movements weren't as skillful as Jiang Chen's, but they weren't far behind.

More than ten minutes later, the junior student left with a dazed look on his face, holding the gun. The moment he turned around, everyone in Class 5 gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up.

If it weren't for the squad leader's help, I would have been teased by this kid today.

On the way back, seeing his two companions looking so happy and thinking about his own experience, he became even angrier.

"Md, don't give me the chance!"

……

September 30th, the day before National Day.

The school announced the holiday arrangements for National Day.

Except for the leaders and nursing team on duty, other students and teachers have holidays ranging from three to seven days.

The only thing is that the recruit camp is a bit miserable as they only have one day off on National Day.

Moreover, this day is not so much a holiday as it is a way for them to serve as free labor.

The military academy is not an ordinary university. A special performance is arranged on National Day, and all teachers and students must participate to celebrate with the country.

At six o'clock in the morning, the school will hold a grand flag-raising ceremony.

All the students lined up in an orderly manner, and the school guard of honor marched in step to escort the national flag to the flagpole. To the sound of the solemn national anthem, all the teachers and students saluted and watched the national flag slowly rise to mid-air.

Next, the school leaders took turns to speak on stage.

Jiang Chen stood among the freshmen and looked at the major general on the rostrum. That was their principal.

"Hello, comrades!"

The principal's speech was still going on, but there was a slight commotion among the recruits below the stage.

"Major General! I see this for the first time!"

"The one next to him is our school's political commissar, a major general!"

The new recruits were more curious, while Jiang Chen and other soldiers who came from the army were more excited and expectant.

The recruits didn't know what a major general meant, but they knew it very well.

Let’s not talk about other people, let’s take Jiang Chen himself as an example.

He had been in the army for more than a year, and the highest-ranking officers he had ever met were their regiment commander and political commissar.

Jiang Chen had never seen a major general, let alone a major general...

He was lucky. He won a second-class merit in the recruit company. In addition, his status as a college student had a certain publicity value. It just so happened that the regiment commander and the political commissar were free that day. Otherwise, he might not even know what his own regiment commander looked like.

This is also the current situation of the vast majority of ordinary soldiers.

He always says: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

In fact, let alone a general, it is very likely that he has never even met the leader of his own unit.

Moreover, even if there is a chance to see it, at most I can just glance at it from afar like I am doing now.

Let alone communicating, being able to say a word is already a blessing.

Zhao Hongbin once told Jiang Chen that when he participated in a division activity, he was assigned to stand guard next to the rostrum.

The regiment commander and the division commander passed by, and the division commander pointed at him and said, "You, help me move a chair over here..."

Then, Zhao Hongbin still talks about this matter and he mentions it whenever he has time.

The division commander was like this, not to mention that the people standing in front of Jiang Chen and the others were generals, and there were two generals at once.

It can be said that if they had not been promoted to the military academy, they might never have the chance to see what the general looked like in their lifetime.

Of course, because of Mr. Jiang, Jiang Chen might still have a chance, but he just can't get over it for the time being.

However, there is no need to go through so much trouble, they will be able to see these two major generals again soon...

After the flag-raising ceremony, the school also organized a cultural performance at noon.

However, these have nothing to do with the new recruits. The ones performing on the stage are all senior students, and they just need to watch the fun from below.

On the second day of National Day, training continued as usual.

In addition to training, the battalion commander also plans to use the National Day holiday to conduct intensive military skills training to speed up the training pace of the recruit camp.

The instructor was not willing to be left out, and took advantage of the National Day to carry out a patriotism education for the new recruits.

During the break after the news broadcast, we organize everyone to watch patriotic movies, review the history of national development, the history of the army's struggle, etc.

In short, these new recruits had a miserable National Day.

Students in primary, middle and high schools are all looking forward to the long National Day holiday which they can never have enough of. After this experience, they count the days on their fingers before going to bed every night, hoping that the National Day will pass quickly.

It seemed as if God had heard everyone’s prayers. In the last few days of National Day, a light drizzle suddenly fell from the sky.

Faced with this sudden rain, the mood of the recruits was not as gloomy as the sky outside. They were almost going crazy with joy.

Even though it's already October, the weather outside is not cool at all, and is even getting hotter.

Not to mention training, even if you stand still in the sun, your whole body will be soaked in half an hour at most.

It can be said that this rain fell into everyone's heart.

The only regret we all feel is that it would have been better if the rain had been a little heavier.

Class 5 also found time to hold another competition as agreed before.

The content of the competition was still the same as before, the only difference was that the battalion commander got the news from somewhere and brought all the new recruits in the battalion to watch their competition.

After witnessing the true abilities of veterans like Jiang Chen, the new recruits realized how big the gap was between themselves and real soldiers.

It seems that he never really uses his abilities and is just teasing them...

Not to mention the 400-meter obstacle course that the recruits have not yet encountered.

The first competition item, the five-kilometer armed run, almost made the recruits so ashamed and angry that they could not cope with the situation.

Five kilometers with weights, almost catching up with their three kilometers without weights, how can I not be ashamed and angry, how can I not feel uncomfortable...

The pull-ups that followed also gave the recruits a great shock.

Among the recruits, being able to do more than five pull-ups is considered excellent.

As for Jiang Chen and his friends, none of them scored less than twenty, and the most amazing one, Zhang Tao, could pull nearly seventy in one breath.

Not to mention the recruits, even the battalion commander and company commander who came to watch the fun almost dropped their jaws.

Jiang Chen's highest record of pull-ups was fifty-eight, and Zhang Tao had nearly twelve more than him, which showed how abnormal this guy was...

If the previous five kilometers, 400-meter obstacle course and pull-ups only shocked the recruits, then the final fight left everyone speechless.

Because, the fight between Class Five is not one-on-one, but Jiang Chen fights against everyone else in a round-robin battle.

What’s even more exaggerated is that it doesn’t end after one round. Instead, as soon as one is knocked down, another will immediately take his place, until no one can get up.

The reason for this situation is simply that Jiang Chen's fighting level is quite different from that of others.

In just one month, there was no possibility of catching up, and in the end, it became what we see now.

According to Sun Lei, Jiang Chen's biggest problem compared to those of them who have been practicing martial arts since childhood is that his basic skills are somewhat insufficient.

For example, the most basic horse stance.

Therefore, Jiang Chen has been focusing on basic skills since he joined the teaching team. Now the training of basic skills has begun to show results, coupled with a large amount of practical training every day, his fighting level has once again achieved a leap forward.

"Fuck you, this must be the legendary martial arts master, this is so fucking awesome!"

The new recruits nearby were almost dumbfounded.

If the occasion was right, they would have rushed over and bowed down, asking Jiang Chen to accept them as his disciples and teach them his unique martial arts.

What young person doesn't want to become a martial arts master...

Just like every boy has a "peerless sword" or "peerless knife" in his childhood memory.

"Wow, tsk tsk tsk, this kung fu is amazing. More than ten people taking turns to compete are still no match for him!" The commander of the new recruits battalion, Hong Haijiang, was also amazed.

"Fifth squad of the first company, fifth squad of the first company...is there a private in their squad who was promoted to officer just one year after joining the army?" Hong Haijiang turned his head and asked the company commander next to him as if he had thought of something.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, yes, he is the private you mentioned." The company commander pointed at Jiang Chen in the field.

"Ah? He is?!"

"Correct!"

Although he is the battalion commander of the recruit battalion, his attention is more focused on the new recruits. These veterans from the army know everything and do not need him to worry about anything, so naturally he does not pay much attention to them.

Now, hearing what the company commander said, Hong Haijiang was a little surprised.

"Sure enough, there is no false reputation. He was promoted to officer after only one year of joining the army. He must be quite capable!" Hong Haijiang could only sigh.

"Old Hong, you are underestimating me, aren't you? I have seen this soldier's information before. He is a college student, and he is from a 985 prestigious university!"

The instructor at the side also interjected with a smile.

"He has been in the army for one year and has won two second-class merits and two third-class merits. He is an outstanding student in the division's training team and he is still a college student. He is a good candidate."

Obviously, compared with the battalion commander Hong Haijiang, the instructor knows Jiang Chen's situation in more detail.

"I rely on!"

This time, Hong Haijiang was really shocked, and he even swore without paying attention.

"What major did he apply for?"

Hong Haijiang reacted and asked quickly.

The instructor glanced at him and said in a teasing tone, "Are you impatient now?"

"Okay, Lao Chen, stop wasting time and just speak."

"Haha, then you will be disappointed. He is a scout and he majored in special warfare." The instructor said with a smile on his face.

"Md, why is it a special warfare major? If it was any other major, I might be able to think of a way to rob people from those beasts, but forget it."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing his mumbling, the instructor laughed even more happily.

Hong Haijiang is not only the battalion commander of the recruit battalion, but also a teacher of the school's infantry command major.

For other majors, Hong Haijiang could try to poach people by relying on his status as the commander of a new recruit battalion, but for special warfare… it was already very good that those animals didn’t rob others, and they wanted to steal food from them…

Monday, October 8th.

Year of Xin Si, month of Wu Xu, day of Jia Chen.

Cold Dew.

This day should have been a day when "the dew was cold and about to condense", but the temperature outside not only did not drop due to the rain in the past few days, but instead showed a trend of rising.

Although the drizzle that had been falling for three or four days had stopped, there was still a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky. Coupled with the high temperature and the rain that had fallen in the previous two days, the whole place was like a steamer...

After just running a few laps on the playground, everyone was soaked in sweat.

"Why is this damn weather so weird?"

Zhang Wuqiang, who has been used to the dry weather in the northwest for many years, can't stand this kind of semi-dry and semi-wet weather the most.

He had clearly taken a shower and changed his clothes just before going to bed last night, but he just felt uncomfortable all over. The damp bedding made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He had to toss and turn until midnight every night before he could fall asleep.

A southerner in Class 5 explained with a smile: "It's like this in the south. June and July are the rainy seasons. Sometimes it's normal not to see the sun for more than a month."

"It's already October, why is it still like this!"

"Just listen to me..."

"August and September after the plum rains are the peak typhoon season. The weather last month was good, and it didn't rain for a few days. Judging from the current situation, it seems that the rainfall this year is a little late. Once we get through this period, it will be fine by the end of October."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Wuqiang counted on his fingers and couldn't help but complain: "Damn, it seems that the rain in your south is one after another, and it lasts for half a year!"

"What else do you think..."

"No wonder people say southerners are pretty. It rains every day and they're almost soaking in water. How can they not be pretty?"

Hearing his complaints, the others started laughing as well.

The amount of training in the recruit camp was not even a drizzle for the veterans in Class 5. At most, it was just a warm-up. What really made them uncomfortable was the weather.

Even though he has been here for more than a year, Jiang Chen has not been able to adapt to the climate here.

Fortunately, before lunch, the dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed, and the sun, which had not been seen for a long time, also peeked out.

The weather was good for the next two days. Although there were still many clouds in the sky, it did not rain continuously like the previous few days.

I thought the rainy days would be over by now, but who would have thought that on Wednesday afternoon the blue sky would be covered by dark clouds again. Before anyone could start cursing, drops as big as beans began to fall.

Then, there was no sign of stopping until Friday.

The sky is going to rain, and the mother is going to get married. You can’t stop it, and the training can’t be stopped.

Just like their battalion commander said, let alone rain, even if it’s raining knives, we still have to go out and train!

In the morning, they crawled in the mud and practiced tactics. In the afternoon, they aimed their guns in the rain. From time to time, they would review the previous training content, stand at attention, practice formations, or do three kilometers of physical training plus push-ups and squats.

I don’t have to go out in the rain to train during occasional breaks, but I can’t sit around doing nothing either. I have to continue training in the dormitory.

Maintain your guns, memorize the regulations, etc.

Of course, no matter how much trouble it causes, it is nothing to the soldiers in the squad.

After all, this is a recruit camp, not a devil camp, so the amount of training can't be much bigger...
