Early in the morning, in a courtyard in the southern suburbs of Beiping, with a whistle, more than two dozen armed young soldiers walked out of their respective dormitories.

At this time, Ouyang Yun had already run five kilometers outside, his forehead was slightly sweaty, he stood straight in front of the team, and shouted: "Lizheng!" At ease! Then he raised his right hand and looked at his watch, and said, "More than four minutes, too long, do you know how long it is for a qualified special forces unit to assemble?" A minute and a half! His gaze swept over the team one by one, and then he said loudly: "Lizheng, each class counts!" ”

Today is the second day since the establishment of the "Wolf Tooth," and the 13 newly recruited soldiers yesterday have already been sent to Wanping for general training such as queue and housekeeping. Before sending them to the car, Ouyang Yun said very bluntly, whoever meets the basic training requirements first will be the first to return to the "wolf's tooth" to receive special training. The remaining cadets were divided into three classes, seven in the first and second classes, and eight in the third class. In order to increase their sense of honor, he especially emphasized that the rank of all officers of the Wolf Tooth is automatically two levels higher than that of the officers of the same level in the first class of troops, that is to say, the squad leader of the Wolf Tooth is equivalent to the company commander of the general army. In addition, the pay and food of the soldiers were also three times that of the general army. The cadets who can come to the wolf's tooth are the leaders of the cadet corps, among which there are many platoon commanders, company commanders and other officers, and their morale is naturally higher than that of ordinary cadets. However, when they heard that after receiving special training, those who failed the assessment would be "eliminated", many people were worried again, and many people did not sleep well at night.

In modern special forces training, each country has different settings according to its own conditions, and Ouyang Yun has experienced including early training and later training, the early stage is mainly to strengthen the training of physical fitness and psychological adjustment ability, through frequent cross-country, swimming, push-ups, frog jumping, turning circles, and then crawling forward in rainy days, climbing mountains and other physical exercises, through continuous self-transcendence, so that the trainer's physical fitness can reach a certain standard in a short time. This is followed by the later training aimed at strengthening the individual's special abilities, in which driving training and airborne training, shooting, fighting, surveying and mapping, and explosives are all that everyone must master, and then focus on strengthening one or several aspects of skills according to the characteristics of each person. During the entire training period, the unit will arrange some actual combat drills according to the needs of the situation, and at the same time be equipped with certain psychological counseling, and if conditions permit, it will also arrange live ammunition killings (mostly shooting criminals) to increase their courage.

Among them, armed cross-country and swimming are throughout the training process, cross-country is basically at least five kilometers a day, and swimming is arranged more than twice a week according to conditions. Then there are some strength training, which is a compulsory course every day. For subjects such as shooting and driving, training is arranged on a weekly basis according to conditions.

Armed off-road, Ouyang Yun experienced five kilometers in the morning and five kilometers in the evening, and sometimes had to come to a surprise attack in the middle of the night, carrying a helmet, dagger, cross-country combat boots, first aid kit, three days of rations, a water bottle filled with water, communication equipment, universal shears, plus a 10 kg sandbag vest, 5 kg sandbag leggings, bulletproof vest, pistol plus 4 magazines, submachine gun/assault rifle plus 5 magazines. If you have other specialties, such as being good at electronic messaging, sorry, you'll also need to bring a set of electronic detectors and other equipment. The bottom two of each cross-country will be fined 200 push-ups and 200 frog jumps.

Then there are armed swim crossings three times a week. In addition to the sandbags, there are a lot of other things on the body, and the last two will also be punished.

In terms of driving, cars and motorcycles are something that everyone must master, and then there are armored cars, tanks and helicopters, and if the conditions of the troops allow, you can also try to fly fighter jets (it seems that it is not possible in China), and the last two are also fined.

Airborne training is divided into two kinds, helicopter airborne is once a week, transport aircraft is once a month, requiring landing for two minutes must enter the combat state, under normal circumstances, airborne is with a certain drill confrontation task execution, such as bodyguards, decapitation, stealing important documents, rescuing hostages, etc., the losing side is also punished.

Combat training takes the form of confrontation, generally once a week, the loser not only has to add a certain training subject, but also help the winner wash a week's stinky socks - it is precisely because of the latter one, there is no one in Ouyang Yun's unit who does not practice in private - after entering the special forces brigade, there is no difference between recruits and veterans, there is no such thing as recruits to help veterans wash clothes, although modern special forces are equipped with washing machines, but "helping people wash socks" is disgraceful to say, therefore, Among all the training subjects, Ouyang Yun is the most attentive to fighting, because he is allowed to bring weapons, he has the protection of flying needles, except for losing to the captain twice, he basically has not missed a hand.

Surveying and mapping and blasting are relatively knowledgeable subjects, generally once a week, with the nature of the class, the difference is that surveying and mapping is purely with a pen, and blasting needs to make explosives or dismantle explosives, these two training subjects are based on the time spent to approve the standard, overtime calculation and loss, plus fine.

Ouyang Yun completely copied the special forces training manual of his old army, except for some equipment and airborne landing that could not be implemented due to the current lack of conditions, all the others were copied, and as soon as they were taken out, the trainees were frightened. They originally thought that the training of the cadet corps was already harsh, but now they realized that compared with the training of special forces, it was simply child's play.

Chu Tiange and Liu Zheliang were the people around Ouyang Yun, since he had to participate in special training, they naturally couldn't escape. The sandbag or something was exactly what the two of them went to prepare, and they didn't know what the use of the road was going to be, but when Ouyang Yun first demonstrated how to put on the vest and leggings, they knew that the next 5 kilometers of cross-country should not only be fully armed, but also bring the sandbag weighing 7 kilograms.

Ouyang Yun and the others put on the sandbag vests, tied the sandbag leggings, blew the whistle, and said: "Start cross-country running now, the target - Jin Ge Village in front of the right, go back and forth once, the first ten people who arrive first will be rewarded with two meat buns, and the last person to arrive will be punished with 200 push-ups and 200 sit-ups!" Let's go!" After saying that, he ran out of the city first.

Since returning to Beiping, because the location of the ghost house is equivalent to the downtown area, Ouyang Yun has not done cross-country training for a long time, and the reason why he wants to get up early and come five kilometers first is to see what his current physical strength is like. Anyone who has practiced long-distance running knows that the saddest part of long-distance running is the limit of the beginning, but as long as you grit your teeth and get through it, then the next run will be quite easy. Ouyang Yun's previous 5 kilometers have surpassed the limit, so although his legs and feet are a little sore now, he is quite light when he runs.

He took the lead, and the cadets naturally refused to lag behind. They are also worthy of being selected from the student corps, their physique is good, and no one is left behind in the first three kilometers, but after 3 kilometers have passed, Liu Zheliang first threw them off, and then some people fell behind one after another.

He deliberately tested the strength of the school's cadets, and did not slow down because of this, and when he ran back to the compound, he was surprised to find that in addition to Chu Tiange, there were six people including Zhang Huaming, Lu Jian, and Chen Cijun who ran back with him.

Chu Tiange has a very good physique because of his long-term martial arts practice, and Ouyang Yun knows the Tao. Then Zhang Huaming and the other six people showed a pleasant surprise, especially Zhang Huaming, after running the whole race, he was only sweating profusely, and he didn't immediately lie on the ground and pant like Lu Jian, it can be seen that this guy's physical accumulation is very strong.

Lu Jian, Chen Cijun...... Get up all and walk slowly, you can't lie down at this time, otherwise it will hurt your body. Tiange, Huaming, you help them," Ouyang Yun said, helping Lu Jian, and then helping a student named Yang Yucheng, encouraging them to walk slowly, which is conducive to relaxing their muscles and avoiding muscle spasms and cramps.

As Lu Jian walked, he said reverently: "Tuanza, you are so powerful, you don't look difficult at all." ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "I have practiced, and I was the same as you at the beginning. To be a special soldier, the most important thing is to have good physical strength and strong will, Lu Jian, you don't regret participating in this special training, right? Yang Yucheng, I heard that you were originally the deputy company commander of the second battalion and the first company? ”

"Yes," Yang Yucheng immediately straightened up and straightened his chest.

Ouyang Yun lightly slapped his chest and said appreciatively: "Yes, do a good job, being a special soldier is much more interesting than being a company commander or something." His gaze turned to a student soldier who looked a little thin and said, "Liang Xiunu, I didn't expect you to be thin and weak, and your physique is not bad." ”

At this time, the backward cadets returned one after another, and many fell to the ground as soon as they entered the courtyard.

Liang Xiunu said: "Tuanzao, do you know my name? After saying that, he smiled, maybe in his opinion, it was an honor for the commander to be able to remember the name of one of his soldiers.

Ouyang Yun smiled: "Of course I remember." In the book "The Art of Leading Soldiers", one of them is that the chief officer must remember the name of each soldier, so that he can unite everyone around him, Ouyang Yun kept this in mind, and spent a lot of time to memorize the names of the soldiers in private. And in the student code of West Point Academy, a famous military academy in the United States, the first thing new cadets need to do is to spend a certain amount of time memorizing the names of all cadets in the school. This shows how important it is for a soldier to be able to remember the names of everyone around him.

The cadets came back one by one, and when they all came back, they were in the same state, and immediately went to the ground. At this time, the role of Lu Jian and the others was reflected, after all, they had been officers, and they consciously helped Ouyang Yun to drive everyone up from the ground and let them walk slowly in the courtyard.

In the meantime, Ouyang Yun realized that he had made a serious mistake, he forgot that this was the first off-road of the "Wolf Teeth", as the chief officer, he should have prepared at least one car to follow the team to prevent anyone from being injured or physically exhausted, so as to transport them back. In his time, the captain of the brigade drove an off-road vehicle to follow behind, and the car was accompanied by at least one medical worker. Now there are no off-road vehicles, so horse-drawn carriages and even ox-carts should be prepared, and if anyone is left behind on the road, it will be a joke. Fortunately, this did not happen after the last day, but Liu Zheliang, who came back from the last time, had red eyes, obviously because he was the last to arrive and felt very ashamed, and he shed a lot of tears along the way. Seeing Ouyang Yun, he explained: "Tuanzao, I have embarrassed you." Then he tilted his body and fainted.

Ouyang Yun felt a little guilty in his heart, so he hurriedly supported him, first massaged his legs, and when he woke up, he said: "Zheliang, it's already very good that you can run back, follow me for a while, I don't have much opportunity to exercise-take your time, don't rush." ”
