My Military Career in a Parallel World

Chapter 241: A baseline assessment, giving the veterans a little shock!

"Damn, doesn't this guy know he's tired?!"

"No wonder a private can be a deputy squad leader for a scout. This is too abnormal!"

More than a hundred fully armed soldiers were running on the training track.

There were three regiments, and the number of people who came to the teaching team in each regiment was not the same. The 228th regiment had a total of people, while the other three regiments had people, and one regiment had slightly fewer people, with people.

Just before the assessment began, the three district captains each issued a death order.

Yan Weihua’s order to Jiang Chen and the others was that at least three people must be in the top ten in each event.

Besides that, countdowns are not allowed!

If anyone is in the bottom ten in any project, then you should be prepared to be trained to death!

The project currently being carried out is none other than a five-kilometer armed cross-country race.

Under the supervision of team leader Wan Peng, three district captains and some other instructors from the teaching team, everyone started running together.

The baseline assessment is not conducted separately, but all team members are assessed together.

The general assessment standards for the armed five-kilometer race are as follows:

The load must be more than 24 kilograms, and all individual weapons, helmets, ammunition, grenades, water bottles, backpacks, etc. must be carried.

If we ignore complex environments such as snow, mountains, jungles, deserts, swamps, and high-altitude areas, running five kilometers within 26 minutes will pass.

This requirement is not difficult. As a veteran of an infantry company, if you can't even run the most basic five-kilometer passing line, then don't call yourself an elite backbone.

To be recommended and get a place in the teaching team, they definitely have the ability to do so.

But the question now is no longer whether they can run into 26 minutes.

The standard 400-meter track is used for testing with more than a hundred people, and five kilometers is about twelve and a half laps.

Since this was an assessment and not training, there was no need to worry about forming teams or not; everyone was just gritting their teeth and running.

While running, I counted the number of laps, calculated my physical strength and ranking, and prepared for the final sprint.

But at this moment, the last few people in the team suddenly found that someone seemed to be catching up with them from behind.

After a closer look, the person seemed familiar...

"Fuck, isn't this the new recruit who was running in front of me before? How did he catch up with me from behind?!"

At first, several people were a little confused and couldn't react.

It was not until the footsteps behind him got closer that he gradually came to his senses.

They are about to be trapped!

emmp……

Being trapped in the army means shame, even humiliation!

This is a training team, not a recruit company, not to mention that the person who is about to put the ring on them is a private!

How could the self-righteous veterans accept this?

The few soldiers who were originally at the end of the team no longer cared about their physical strength, and they gritted their teeth and began to accelerate madly.

This kind of embarrassing thing must never be allowed to happen!

Even though they have only run half of the five kilometers, according to common sense they should conserve their energy and run at a steady pace.

When the people behind them began to speed up madly in order to avoid being circled, the soldiers in front of them were also driven by the pressure.

The entire team was moving faster and faster.

only……

There are gaps between people, and naturally there are gaps between elites/backbones.

It’s a very simple truth. Although these people in front of us are known as elites/backbones, that is only in their own company.

Jiang Chen was not exaggerating. Based on what he had seen so far, the military quality of most people in the team was at best mid-level in the reconnaissance company.

There are even some that can't even reach the middle reaches.

The three words "Scout" themselves are a kind of honor and a symbol of strength.

With Jiang Chen's current military quality, he could rank among the top even in a reconnaissance company full of strong men, and he would be able to crush a group of soldiers from an ordinary company.

Only soldiers from the reconnaissance company could fight with him.

While running, Jiang Chen took the time to look back.

There were only less than thirty people behind him who could keep up with his pace, and most of them were scouts. There were very few soldiers from ordinary companies, and there were only a few in total.

Putting aside these messy thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chen adjusted his breathing and took a step. Under the horrified eyes of the soldier in front of him, Jiang Chen sped up again.

"Fuck! What a pervert!"

Seeing the distance between the two getting closer, the soldier from the third zone team in front couldn't help but curse out loud, and at the same time his pace involuntarily quickened a bit.

Several soldiers around who heard the noise subconsciously turned around to look.

Then, they saw Jiang Chen getting closer and closer to them...

Until finally, it passed by them like a gust of wind.

"Damn, it's five kilometers. You're running like this, aren't you afraid that you won't have enough energy to keep up with the ones behind you?" an old soldier couldn't help but curse.

They felt that Jiang Chen did it on purpose.

It’s not like there haven’t been scouts coming to the training team before, but there has never been any report of any of them being trapped during the first training session.

This private definitely did it on purpose!

No matter how good your physical fitness is, you can't squander it like this, right? !

After a night of fermentation, news of the internal competition for deputy monitor within Class 3 was also revealed yesterday.

They thought they had thought highly of this private soldier, but they didn't expect...

Hearing the soldier's angry curse, Jiang Chen did not answer but turned his head, grinned to reveal his big white teeth and gave him a thumbs up, then continued to accelerate, leaving only his back, which made the old soldiers grit their teeth but helpless.

They guessed correctly, Jiang Chen did it on purpose.

In his opinion, these old soldiers were just cheap bastards. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would never take Jiang Chen, a private, seriously.

Everyone in Class Three has been subdued by him, and now it's time to teach the others a lesson.

The armed five-kilometer race is just the beginning!

"This Jiang Chen is indeed a good talent!" Team leader Wan Peng and instructor Shi Yi stood on the sidelines, watching the situation on the runway, touching their chins and praising.

"Haha, I heard that he is on this year's promotion list. As soon as his private soldier time is up, he will be sent to a military academy for further studies. Such a good soldier, aren't you tempted?" Shi Yi said with interest.

Wan Peng knew what he meant, so he said disapprovingly, "It's no use for me to be interested. I'm retired now. Besides, you know the rules over there. The rules were set by the chief of staff of our military region. All soldiers must pass the selection."

"You, you are still pretending. You were the one who secretly guided Li Gang before. Do you really think I don't know?"

"Ahem...well..." Wan Peng's cheeks turned red and he wanted to explain something.

Shi Yi waved his hand and took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, how is Li Gang now? Did he pass the special forces selection?"

It would have been fine if Shi Yi didn't say anything, but Wan Peng felt a little uncomfortable when he talked about it.

"Oh, forget it. His physical fitness and willpower were all good. He was just one step short. Unfortunately, his education level did not meet the requirements of the special forces, so he was sent back."

"That's really a pity..."

Shi Yi didn't know what to say about this.

This is the current situation in the army. The cultural level of the vast majority of soldiers is not high, and many of them have only graduated from junior high school.

There is no way. With reform and opening up, things are changing with each passing day. Everyone is thinking about making money. No one would think of joining the army if there is any way out.

But if the army wants to progress and reform, it needs more soldiers with high culture and high quality.

Many new weapons and equipment cannot be used without culture.

Perhaps we can’t see anything now, but after the military reform, the shortage of high-quality talents will become more and more serious.

It is basically impossible to join the army after graduating from junior high school as before.

Until Jiang Chen traveled through time, there was basically no development prospect for those who joined the army after graduating from high school. Most of them were sent to the armed police force, trained for two years, and then eliminated and retired.

Only those with a bachelor's degree or above can develop in the army.

While the two were chatting, the five-kilometer armed test on the playground had already ended.

Jiang Chen took the lead without any surprise, ranking first in the team with a time of 19 minutes and 9 seconds.

Following him was a soldier from the Police Detective Company in the second squad.

Jiang Chen had some impression of this person, but he was not very familiar with him.

"He is the best recruit in our police detective company in recent years besides Jiang Zhou. He just signed a non-commissioned officer contract at the beginning of the year. It has been confirmed that he will be promoted to deputy squad leader after returning from training with the training team."

Guo Chao, who was also from the police detective company, explained to Jiang Chen in a low voice.

Jiang Chen subconsciously turned his head to look, and the man happened to look over there as well. The two of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

At the same time, both of them were very clear that their biggest competitor in the coaching team should be each other.

After the five-kilometer armed training, there are standing long jump, pull-ups on the horizontal bar, 100-meter sprint, and grenade throwing.

The five basic items, one after another.

No matter which item is assessed, Jiang Chen's performance is always the most eye-catching one.

In the standing long jump, Jiang Chen's score was 2.9 meters. He did 45 pull-ups in one breath, not to mention the 100-meter sprint, which broke the 11-second mark and was under 10 seconds, almost catching up with the standard of a national first-class athlete.

Jiang Chen's performance in grenade throwing was equally impressive. Although his score of 65 meters did not rank first, he was still among the top three in the team.

A glimpse of the big picture can reveal the whole picture.

And this is just the basic assessment, Jiang Chen has not yet taken on the project that he is really good at.

His performance almost made Yan Weihua, who had been trying hard to maintain a serious image in front of the soldiers, unable to hold back his smile.

Let alone the other two district captains.

My mouth is so sour as it can be. I wish I could replace it!

The assessment is over.

Everyone gathered again. Yan Weihua tried hard to maintain a serious expression on his face, but everyone could see that he was very happy at this moment.

"Your performance today really embarrassed me!"

However, the first words Yan Weihua said were not praise.

Even though everyone could see that he was very happy at this moment, Team District 1 stole the show in today's baseline assessment.

Except for a few individual events, the first place in other events was basically monopolized by their district team.

The overall results are definitely the best among the three district teams.

but!

The overall results are good, but that doesn’t mean there’s no one dragging them down.

Before the assessment, Yan Weihua requested that no one from their team be among the top ten.

But when it came to the assessment, it was inevitable that someone from Team District 1 would be at the bottom of the list.

For example, in the 400-meter hurdles, two people from their team were among the bottom ten.

Among the basic items, there are people who rank among the bottom ten for the pull-up, the most difficult exercise.

And these people are obviously on Yan Weihua's blacklist.

"I told you before, if there is a countdown, be prepared!"

Hearing him say this, the few soldiers at the bottom couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"I don't want to say more. The training team wants elites without obvious weaknesses. I'll give you a week. If you can't improve your grades in the assessment after a week..."

Yan Weihua stared at them and said seriously, "The training team implements an elimination system. I think you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Report, report, understood!"

After Yan Weihua's reminder, everyone suddenly remembered what the squad leader, platoon leader and company commander had repeatedly reiterated to them before they set off.

The training team is an elimination system, with assessments every Monday. Soldiers who fail the assessments will have only one fate...

Take off the armband and leave!

Moreover, this is not the end, Yan Weihua turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen and others and continued: "Don't think you can sit back and relax.

The teaching team is not a recruit company!

The assessment is not just about physical fitness, but also about cultural and skills!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the few people who were named just now, but almost all the soldiers at the scene became nervous.

Yes, the teaching team is not a recruit company, and what they have to teach is not only physical fitness, but also various squad tactics, tactical thinking, command ability, military theory, and even personnel management, material management, command process and so on.

Moreover, there are relevant professional courses depending on the different branches of the military.

Although this part is not included in the assessment, points will still be deducted if the results are too poor, thus affecting the final graduation evaluation.

Don't forget, Jiang Chen's goal is not just to graduate successfully, what he wants is the Outstanding Student Medal, which the teaching team only awards one Outstanding Student Medal every year!

Seeing that everyone took it seriously, Yan Weihua didn't continue talking about it.

"This time, the deputy monitor of Class 3, Jiang Chen, performed very well. Let's applaud!"

Bang bang bang~

Warm applause broke out, and Yan Weihua's stern face relaxed a little, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Putting aside other things, Jiang Chen's performance today alone was enough to make him proud.

"Okay, disband now!"

On the way back to the dormitory, as the biggest beneficiary of this baseline assessment, Jiang Chen naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Needless to say, everyone in the first district team is a soldier from the same regiment and is one of our own.

Although I feel a little uncomfortable, what can I say?

There is no false reputation below a great one. Jiang Chen's name had already spread throughout the 228th Regiment, and everyone was more or less mentally prepared.

Before, they just didn't see it with their own eyes, but now after being ravaged by Jiang Chen, they all recognized the truth.

The ones who really suffered were the veterans from the other two district teams.

They had no mental preparation beforehand, and each of them wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous.

But the result is...

As a veteran, the elite and backbone of their respective companies, they all have pride in being a veteran.

Now he has been crushed to pieces by a private soldier. It would be a miracle if he could accept it.
