Chapter 1658 A True Warrior
So, on that quiet night, when everyone had fallen asleep, Li Ziyang came to the playground alone. He took out the sandbags he had prepared in advance and tied them to his limbs. Each sandbag weighed 5 kilograms, which was already a big burden for him.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and rhythm, and then started running on the playground. At first, he felt relatively relaxed, but as time went on, the weight of the sandbags began to gradually show. His steps began to become heavy and his breathing became rapid.
However, Li Ziyang did not give up. He gritted his teeth and insisted on running. He knew that only by constantly challenging his limits could he make greater progress.
In this way, he ran round and round until he was exhausted. When he finally stopped and sat on the ground, he found that his clothes were soaked with sweat. But his heart was full of satisfaction and pride, because he knew that he had taken the first step to catch up with everyone.
The next morning, when his comrades saw Li Ziyang's exhausted appearance, they all cast concerned eyes. They knew that Li Ziyang must have had a hard training last night.
"Ziyang, are you okay? Did you train too hard last night?" a comrade asked with concern.
Li Ziyang shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I'm just doing some basic training. If I want to catch up with everyone, I have to work harder."
His answer made his comrades look at him with admiration. They knew that Li Ziyang was a man of perseverance and determination, and he would definitely succeed.
When everyone sat in a circle and enthusiastically discussed today's interesting things and training, a steady and powerful footsteps came from far away, interrupting their laughter. Everyone looked up and saw Instructor Qin Yuan, wearing a neat military uniform, with a serious face and sharp eyes, walking towards them with big strides.
"Stand at attention!" With the order of Instructor Qin Yuan, the originally loose recruits quickly stood in a row, all of them were in high spirits, and their eyes revealed awe and expectations for the instructor.
"Today, we will not conduct regular physical training." Instructor Qin Yuan looked around and spoke slowly, with a hint of mystery in his tone, "I have prepared a special training for everyone - skill training."
Everyone looked at each other, curious and nervous. You know, in the military camp, every day's training is a challenge to the limits of body and mind, and skill training often means higher difficulty and more sophisticated requirements.
"Today's training is mainly divided into three parts: disassembly, assembly and shooting of guns." Instructor Qin Yuan explained in detail, "This will be a comprehensive test of your professional skills. I hope you can take it seriously and go all out."
As soon as the voice fell, the recruits began to discuss. Some people looked embarrassed, obviously unfamiliar with this training; some people were eager to try and wanted to show their skills. Li Ziyang stood quietly aside, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, stop arguing." Instructor Qin Yuan raised his voice and interrupted everyone's discussion. "Now, I'll give you ten minutes to go to the equipment warehouse to get your guns and training bullets. In ten minutes, we'll gather here and start training."
Everyone immediately took action and ran to the equipment warehouse. Li Ziyang was no exception. He quickly got his gun and ammunition, then returned to the assembly point and waited for the training to begin.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the recruits gathered on the playground again. Instructor Qin Yuan looked at the recruits ready to go in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Now, let's start the first training - disassembly of guns." Instructor Qin Yuan said, "You have to disassemble the guns in your hands into parts in the shortest time and place them neatly on the ground."
With an order, the recruits immediately started to act. They were busy disassembling the guns, some were skilled, and some were clumsy. Li Ziyang quickly disassembled his guns, and every movement seemed so smooth and natural.
After a while, Li Ziyang completed the disassembly task and placed the parts neatly on the ground. He looked up and found that other recruits were still busy, and some had not even started disassembling. He couldn't help but feel proud, but he didn't show it, but silently waited for others to finish.
Finally, all the recruits completed the disassembly task. Instructor Qin Yuan walked up to them and checked their disassembly results one by one. When he walked up to Li Ziyang, his eyes lit up.
"Li Ziyang, you disassemble very quickly, and the parts are also placed neatly." Instructor Qin Yuan praised, "It seems that you have had relevant training before joining the army."
Li Ziyang smiled modestly when he heard this: "Instructor, I just did it according to the method you taught, nothing special."
Instructor Qin Yuan nodded and said nothing more. He knew that Li Ziyang was a talented and hard-working recruit, and his performance had far exceeded his expectations.
Next, it was the assembly training of the gun. This time, Instructor Qin Yuan asked the recruits to complete the assembly within the specified time and check the integrity and functionality of the gun.
Li Ziyang once again demonstrated his outstanding ability. He assembled the gun quickly and accurately, and every step was done so well. When other recruits were still struggling with the installation of a certain part, he had completed the entire assembly process and successfully conducted a functional check.
"Li Ziyang, your assembly speed is really fast, and the integrity and functionality of the gun are very good." Instructor Qin Yuan praised again, "You are really a very talented recruit."
Li Ziyang felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He knew that his efforts were recognized by the instructor, which made him more determined in his beliefs and determination.
Finally, it was shooting training. This is the most challenging part of the entire skill training, and it is also the link that best reflects the professional skills of the recruits.
Instructor Qin Yuan took the recruits to the shooting range and then explained in detail the essentials and precautions of shooting. He emphasized that shooting not only requires high accuracy, but also fast speed and quick response. He hopes that the recruits can take this training seriously and strive to achieve good results.
With the instructor's order, the recruits began to take turns in shooting training. Some of them were so nervous that their palms were sweating, while others seemed calm. Li Ziyang quickly adjusted his state, then picked up the gun, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, the bullet hit the target accurately. Li Ziyang quickly adjusted the angle and strength of the gun, and then pulled the trigger again. This time, the bullet hit the target accurately again, and it was closer to the bull's eye than the last time.
The recruits looked sideways, surprised and admired Li Ziyang's outstanding performance.
The whistle of the end of the training echoed over the playground, and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on every tired but resolute face. With the instructor's "disband", the recruits breathed a sigh of relief, some sat directly on the ground, and some supported each other and walked to the rest area. But in this relaxed atmosphere, several figures were unusually active. They walked straight to Li Ziyang, who had just finished shooting training and was packing up his equipment.
"Ziyang, those shots you just made were so accurate. How did you do it?" Yue Ming was the first to speak, his eyes full of desire and admiration for Li Ziyang's skills.
Li Ziyang smiled and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Actually there is no secret, just practice more, pay attention to the choice of aiming point and the coordination of breathing. Also, mentality is also very important, stay calm and don't be impatient."
"Then can you tell me specifically how to adjust your breathing and mentality? I am always very nervous before shooting." Another comrade couldn't wait to interrupt.
Li Ziyang patiently explained: "Breathing should be deep and even. You can take a few deep breaths before shooting to help yourself relax. As for mentality, just imagine a place that makes you feel most relaxed, pretend that you are just doing daily practice, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
The comrades around listened with relish and nodded to express that they benefited a lot. Seeing this, Li Ziyang felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. In the past, he always felt inferior because of his poor physical training results and felt that he had not contributed much to the group. But today, for the first time, he felt that he was valuable in this group, and his experience and skills could help others.
"Also, do you know about the maintenance and upkeep of firearms? This is also an important part of improving shooting accuracy." Li Ziyang continued to share.
"Yes, yes, yes, we want to hear about this too!" Several comrades said in unison.
So, Li Ziyang began to explain in detail the daily maintenance knowledge of firearms, from cleaning the barrel to checking the wear of parts, every detail was explained very thoroughly. The comrades gathered around him, listening attentively, and occasionally asked some questions, which Li Ziyang answered patiently one by one.
As night fell, the lights on the playground gradually lit up, covering the training ground with a soft glow. After dinner, it should have been time for the recruits to rest, but today, the situation was a little different. More people came to the playground, not to chat or take a walk, but with a special purpose - to help Li Ziyang adapt to their devilish weighted running training.
"Ziyang, we know you are good at guns and shooting, but physical training cannot be neglected." Yue Ming spoke first, with some encouragement in his tone, "Especially weighted running, which is our compulsory course every day. You have to keep up with everyone's pace as soon as possible."
Li Ziyang looked at everyone gratefully and nodded: "I know, I have been working hard. It's just that my physical fitness is really poor, so I am making slow progress."
"It doesn't matter, we are here!" A comrade patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder, "Tonight, we will help you with special training so that you can adapt to weighted running as soon as possible."
So, a unique "special training" kicked off on the playground. The comrades developed a personalized training plan for Li Ziyang based on his actual situation. They started with a lighter weight to let Li Ziyang gradually adapt to the rhythm and breathing of running. Then, they gradually increased the weight of the weight, and each step was steady and cautious.
During the training process, the comrades kept cheering Li Ziyang up and sharing their own experiences and skills. They told Li Ziyang that weighted running is not only a test of physical fitness, but also a test of willpower. As long as he persists, he will definitely make progress.
Listening to the encouragement and suggestions from his comrades, Li Ziyang felt warm in his heart. He deeply felt how united and friendly this group was. Here, no one will laugh at you because of your weaknesses. On the contrary, they will lend a helping hand to help you overcome difficulties together.
As time went by, Li Ziyang's weight-bearing running performance gradually improved. Although the speed of progress is not fast, he can clearly feel that his physical fitness and endurance are constantly increasing. After each training session, he would feel physically exhausted, but his heart was filled with satisfaction and pride.
"Thank you. Without your help, I would definitely not be able to make such progress." Li Ziyang said gratefully to his comrades.
"You're welcome, we are all comrades in arms, and we should help each other." Yue Ming smiled, "Besides, your firearms and shooting skills have also benefited us a lot. By helping each other, we can make progress together. "
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrated the mist and gently sprinkled on the playground of the recruit company.
Li Ziyang was wearing a camouflage uniform, with sweat sliding down his cheeks, but the expression on his face was extremely determined. After this period of hard training, he has fully adapted to the high-intensity training of the recruit company. Every run and every load-bearing move seems to prove to him that he is gradually transforming into a real warrior. .
Just as Li Ziyang and his comrades completed the day's morning exercises and were about to return to the dormitory, a rush of footsteps broke the silence. Instructor Qin Yuan hurried over, his face full of seriousness and urgency, completely different from the calm and steady instructor on weekdays.
"Assemble!" Qin Yuan's voice echoed throughout the playground, and the recruits quickly lined up and stood up. They couldn't help but wonder what important matter made the instructor so anxious.
Qin Yuan looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Li Ziyang, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin. His eyes revealed an indescribable trust and expectation. "After receiving an order from our superiors, we need to send a team to Huanglong City to assist the local police in annihilating a drug trafficking group. This mission is very dangerous, but I believe that the three of you are capable of it."
The three selected people looked at each other, feeling both excited and nervous. Yue Ming, as the big brother in the team, was the first to stand up and said firmly: "Instructor, we are ready, please give the order!"
