"Are you scared? Why don't you run more distances now? When there was a flood at the beginning of the year, you were not as scared as you are now after running 40 kilometers?" Wang Ke held an apple in his hand and deliberately stimulated Gu Maolin.

Gu Maolin rolled his eyes and looked at Wang Ke. Perhaps this criticism, which was better than praise, stimulated him. He snatched the apple from Wang Ke's hand and took a hard bite.

"Maolin, you have to strive to become the reconnaissance team, no, become our command platoon, and become the best runner in our company. From now on, you will run twenty kilometers a day, and you will be able to run both on the ground and in the sky."

"Okay, platoon leader, we will run together and get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning."

"Okay, who's afraid of whom?"

"Platoon leader, if you really run away, take me with you." Liang Xiaolong, the sweet potato in front, said.

"In this case, I will also participate." Xiao Gao, the monitor on the phone, continued and turned around to sign up.

"Maolin, the power of example is great! Look, you not only dragged me in, but also successfully dragged two comrades to run with you."

Gu Maolin still rolled his eyes, he didn't believe it at all.

Behind all those who shine, there are scars and years behind them.

The next day, when Wang Ke got up on time at 4:20 in the morning, he found that Gu Maolin was only wearing a pair of military pants and was standing in the yard doing preparatory activities. And beside him stood not only Sweet Potato Liang Xiaolong, but also the reconnaissance

Squad leader Song Ruimin. At the entrance of the courtyard were four soldiers from the telephone squad.

"Are you all going for a long-distance run?" Wang Ke asked.

"Platoon leader, leave it alone, mother-in-law, and run away."

"Okay, let's make an agreement. From today on, we must insist on ten kilometers every day." Wang Ke started running, followed by seven soldiers including Gu Maolin, Song Ruimin, and Xiao Gao, the telephone squad leader. They walked along the small building on the west side of Longquanzhuang.

After crossing the bridge, I ran onto the road. The road was dark at this time, and the trees on both sides of the road had spread their black wings. But the road was white. In one breath, I ran up the road for about 20 seconds.

Four or five kilometers away, there is a cliff here.

"Okay, we will return here every day from now on." Wang Ke took these seven people and started running back. He ran to the small bridge again in one breath, and it was already dawn.

"Who has a watch?" Wang Ke started walking, and everyone relaxed while walking.

"Platoon leader, don't look at your watch. We should have been running for fifty minutes from the time we set off." Song Ruimin said, walking to the front. He patted Gu Maolin on the shoulder and said, "Old Gu, can you hold on?

"

"Old Song, I'm not bragging to you. If you can persist, I can persist. If you don't believe me, let's run another lap." Gu Maolin still wanted to finish, shaking his arms hard and kicking his legs a few times.

"Okay, Lao Gu, stay strong. Your fixed point is not up to standard during the day today, and you still have to run ten times to look around!"

When I returned to the room, I saw that it was exactly 5:30. After running for an hour, according to the speed, I should have completed ten kilometers today. All the comrades cleaned and washed together. And Ma Zhuo Zhao Mingming had already gone to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

"Reconnaissance squad leader." Wang Ke shouted in the yard.

"Here we come!" Song Ruimin picked up his shoes and ran out.

"Isn't the landlord, Uncle Geng, back yet?"

"Probably not yet."

"Have you been gone for two days?"

"Yes, Platoon Commander, you may be able to come back today."

"Hurry up and wash up. We'll do the exercises soon. After the exercises, you and I can go to the wireless class and see the old squad leader."

"yes."

Sure enough, after a while, another whistle sounded in the middle of the village, one long and two short.

"gather."

Zhao Mingming ran in from outside the door.

"Stand at attention, look to the right! Look forward, turn to the right, and run."

When they arrived at the gathering place of the command platoon, the other two squads immediately approached. The wireless squad was still on duty with Xue Lin replacing the old squad leader Huang Zhonghe. The destination was still the imperial mausoleum.

But this time it seemed different. This "feng shui treasure land" was also targeted by the artillery platoon.

Da Guo, already the fourth squad leader of the second platoon, came first with the soldiers of the second artillery platoon, and then Luo Shaohuan, the first squad leader of the first platoon, also came with their platoon. Except for the logistics, almost the entire company gathered here.

"Old Kezi, no wonder your command platoon runs here every day. The waterway here has eighteen bends and ten miles of stone slabs lined up in rows." Da Guo first joked with Wang Ke. He was Wang Ke's same-year soldier when he was at the division farm. IV.

Although this class is not a benchmark class, the four classes he leads are also the best in the entire company.

"Commander platoon commander, you are really good at choosing a place. Today this place belongs to our artillery platoon. You can choose a new place." Luo Shaohuan and Wang Ke stayed longer and their relationship became deeper.

"You two, this can be discussed, but after our command platoon leaves, will you two start a fight?" Wang Ke joked, still being affectionate to the two old comrades as usual.

Now that the three platoons are gathered together, formation training cannot be carried out. They can only disband and rest for a while.

"Reconnaissance squad leader."

"arrive!"

Song Ruimin ran up to Wang Ke, and Wang Ke whispered to him quietly. "Tell the wireless class that starting tomorrow morning, we will not run during exercise, but will instead climb mountains."

"Yes!" When Song Ruimin heard this, he knew that the acting platoon leader Wang Ke had a new idea. He leaned forward and asked: "Platoon leader, is the emphasis on up or down?"

"Bring a stopwatch and time both up and down."

"yes!"

"One more thing, how do you send letters home?" Wang Ke asked, this Longquan Village is different from Nanshao Village. Nanshao Village has a canteen, and you can usually send it from there every day. This Longquan Village seems to have even a canteen.

There are none, and the entire village adds up to less than a hundred households.

"Leave it to the sergeant. He goes to buy groceries every morning and takes it to the post office in the market town to mail it. It will be sent out very quickly on the same day."

When Wang Ke heard this, he was overjoyed. "That's great. After the exercise is over, help me send the two letters away and ask him to help me buy something back."

"Platoon leader, aren't you tired? Where did you get the money? Just tell me what to buy? I'll pay for it." Song Ruimin remembered that Wang Ke had an empty pocket and had no money even if he wanted to buy something.

"Okay, then you make a note first and buy me some No. 7 embroidery needles. One hundred is not too few, two hundred is not too many, just buy as much as you can! Then buy a pair of small vise pliers, and then

Buy some plastic chopsticks or twenty toothbrushes, and finally buy a hundred exercise books for primary school students..."

Before Wang Ke finished speaking, Song Ruimin immediately opened his mouth and interrupted Wang Ke. "Platoon leader, don't you feel bad about spending my money? You caught someone helping you advance money, right?"

"You're really right. I haven't finished yet. Buy another two hundred Zhonghua brand pencils. Note that you only need HB pencils and bring back ten pencil sharpeners. Now we are lining up, and you are the only one who is the big one. If you don't, you will be slaughtered.

who?"

"Okay, platoon leader, I owe you what I owe you. I'll take care of it when I get back."

"Speak more harshly, sergeant. If you can't buy it back today, we will convene your revolutionary committee tomorrow. Don't forget that our old squad leader Huang Zhonghe is still the director of the revolutionary committee."

What the hell is the Revolutionary Committee? In that era, every company had a Revolutionary Committee. Its full name was the "Revolutionary Soldiers Management Committee". It was a self-managed soldier organization of the company. The members were all soldiers and had a director. In normal times,

The Revolutionary Committee was not taken seriously in everyone's mind, but when it came to managing food, it was a serious matter. Every week's recipes must be discussed and approved by the Revolutionary Committee before they can be announced.

"yes!"

Afterwards, Song Ruimin did some calculations and found that none of these things seemed valuable, but they added up to a lot. They couldn't even afford the allowance for two months. The new acting platoon leader was quite ruthless.

Back at the reconnaissance squad station, Song Ruimin took the letter Wang Ke gave him and went directly to the sergeant. The sergeant's name was Guo Chuntang, who was from Handeng, Hebei Province.

"Are you serious about opening a stationery store?"

"Our platoon leader asked me to tell you that if you can't buy it back today, your revolutionary committee will be held tomorrow to make the recipe you make unqualified."

"Okay, don't worry, as long as it's available in the market town, if not, there's nothing we can do."

After dinner, Wang Ke dragged Song Ruimin and telephone monitor Xiao Gao and went to the wireless class to see the old monitor Huang Zhonghe.

The fever is gone, but the body is still a little weak.

In front of Song Ruimin and the telephone squad leader Xiao Gao, Wang Ke talked about the physical problem of the command platoon. "Old squad leader, except for the telephone squad, the command platoon used to be all talented soldiers. They can't run or run far. I'm going to do it here.

We need to work harder on this. Old squad leader, do you still remember the field survival training we had in Tunliu Village? It was that cliff climbing session."

"Platoon leader, whatever you want to do, I support you."

"Well, I want to increase physical training for the whole platoon starting from tomorrow. Get up early at 4:30, and each person will do ten kilometers a day. At the same time, we will start from tomorrow's exercise, and change it to mountain climbing. It must be done in a shorter time

Inside, grab all the stamina of the entire platoon."

"Okay, I have no objection." Huang Zhonghe, the old squad leader, took the lead and raised his hand.

"Our recon team has no objection either."

"We don't have any objections to the phone call."

"Old squad leader, I'm worried now that the physical strength of the wireless class can't keep up." Wang Ke grabbed the hand of old squad leader Huang Zhonghe again. At every critical moment, the role of the old squad leader becomes more important.

"Don't worry, I will join your long-distance running and exercise tomorrow morning."

Wang Ke nodded and left the wireless class. Starting today, the entire platoon will conduct unified training. That is, wherever the telephone class goes, the wireless class will follow.

On the way back to the reconnaissance squad, Wang Ke already had a new comprehensive training method, but this method still needs to be explored for a few more days and needs to be reported to the company before it can be officially promoted.

"Reconnaissance squad leader!"

"arrive!"

"According to the information you have, which other place around here has more complex terrain?"

"Yes, that is to the southwest of Longquanzhuang. It is not far away, only three or four kilometers. It is not only high in altitude, but also has deep forests, dense trees, ravines, and several rivers. People have to turn around when entering, and it is not easy.

Expand."

Wang Ke stopped and looked at Song Ruimin. "Really? You mean there is a virgin forest there?"

"Yes, there are quite a few bushes."

"This place is great. Is there a map in the class?"

"some."

"Go back and show me. Our current training location can no longer be in the north of the village."

"Platoon commander, why?"

"What do you think, will there be such terrain in future battlefields? Who is closer to actual combat?"
