My Military Career in a Parallel World

Chapter 116 How terrible is Gekeng?

"What are you up to?" Jiang Chen glanced at Chu Fei who was approaching him. He knew without a second thought that this guy was up to no good.

"Hey, class deputy, don't worry about it. I promise to wake him up!"

"Okay, I'll leave him to you." There was no other choice, so Jiang Chen simply agreed.

After getting Jiang Chen's permission, Chu Fei took action immediately.

He first ran over to pick up the shoes that Li Qiang had taken off, took out some toilet paper and put it on his hand, carefully pulled out the sanitary napkin that had turned black and yellow from the shoes, then, he trotted to Li Qiang, squatted down and took off the gas mask on his face.

Then, everyone heard a hoarse roar.

"Fuck you, Chu Fei, you want to die!!!"

When the sanitary napkin was close to the tip of his nose, Li Qiang, who had not been awakened before, suddenly jumped up from the ground. When he saw clearly what Fei was holding in his hand, Li Qiang immediately became furious and rushed towards Chu Fei while cursing.

"Okay, stop messing around, set up the tent quickly, finish the work early and rest early, we have to travel tomorrow!" In order to avoid any trouble, Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward to stop the two from fighting.

Are you kidding? With Li Qiang's height of 1.9 meters and weight of nearly 200 kilograms, if it really hit him, he would be killed on the spot.

After setting up the tents, everyone arranged the rotation of guard posts tacitly without the squad leader's instructions.

There was no way around it. The previous memories were too profound. In order to have a good night's sleep, they had no choice but to pay attention.

There is no need for leaders to make arrangements, as each class has already proactively discussed and delineated their respective duty areas.

The recruits suppressed their hunger and thought about the military truck parked outside the camp. They gradually fell asleep thinking that they would not have to eat those damn bugs and hard-to-swallow biscuits tomorrow.

No one slept well that night. Many people spent the whole night in a half-asleep state. It was not because the company commander and his men were planning another surprise attack, nor was it because they were not sleepy or tired.

It was simply the physical pain and the extreme hunger, coupled with the psychological trauma caused by the gun theft, that made the recruits unable to sleep well, and they would be awakened by the slightest noise outside.

early morning.

Jiang Chen got up on time, put on his clothes, took his gun, and went outside to take over shifts with the deputy squad leader of Class 4.

Standing on a high point next to the camp, feeling the cold wind of the jungle at night, Jiang Chen couldn't help rubbing his dry belly and took out two chocolates from his bag and stuffed them into his mouth.

Jiang Chen had been in the army for such a long time, but this was the first time he experienced the feeling of hunger.

The company commander was really cruel. After such a large amount of exercise yesterday, he didn't even give us a full meal.

In the morning, they were given compressed biscuits that were hard enough to knock out their front teeth. Although they were given some dehydrated rice and canned food at noon, the portions were too little. They had to find food in the woods by themselves, and were forced by the squad leader to eat a lot of insects.

The evening was even worse. Not to mention food, they were not even given time to eat. Everyone just took advantage of the break to eat some compressed biscuits with the leftover canned food from lunch.

Only then did Jiang Chen understand why Li Gang had insisted on forcing them to eat insects at noon.

I feel like this was all planned long ago...

In fact, this was the result of Ge Hongtao showing mercy.

If it were a real field training, there would be no cooking team accompanying them, let alone any logistical support. They would have to figure out everything on their own.

For many field troops, the intensity of training even in their usual camps, let alone training marches, may be far greater than what they are experiencing today.

It is common to not be able to wash for several days.

This can also be considered a form of exercise.

If you really have to go to the battlefield one day, the enemy will not give you the time and conditions to consider these issues.

No matter what time or what position, a soldier's primary duty is to fight and be ready for war at any time. This is the quality a soldier should possess.

Not to mention that they are close to the border, danger could happen at any time, and some things must be prepared in advance...

The recruits didn't feel anything on the first day, but by the second day, many of them couldn't stand it anymore.

After two days of high-intensity exercise, eating and sleeping outdoors, a lot of sweat stuck to my skin, which was very uncomfortable, plus the physical fatigue and pain...

A gust of mountain wind blew, and Jiang Chen could smell the sweat emanating from his body, as well as the odor of feet that was still lingering around the camp.

……

While the recruits were resting, in a small camp above the valley, Ge Hongtao, Lu Ming and a group of platoon leaders and squad leaders were sitting in a marching tent holding a meeting.

"My efforts have paid off. These bastards finally understand the importance of sentry posts."

Looking at the figures standing around the camp, Ge Hongtao showed a smile on his face.

"Haha, Captain, these new recruits must hate you to death!"

"Why hate me? I'm doing this for their own good." Ge Hongtao waved his hand indifferently and did not continue the topic.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get down to business."

Ge Hongtao cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention back to the conference table.

"This is only the second day. In the following days, I hope everyone will not let down their guard. While ensuring the safety of the recruits, we must also ensure that all training along the way can be carried out smoothly."

"Understood!" All the squad leaders quickly stood up and agreed.

Next, Ge Hongtao talked about tomorrow’s training plan.

For example: how many kilometers will we travel tomorrow, what projects will we carry out along the way, etc.

In fact, even if he didn't say these things, everyone could guess roughly what they were saying.

None of you here is leading recruits for the first time. Although the annual recruit training will change according to the personal intentions of the company commander, there are only a few items in total, and no matter how they change, they are basically the same.

Over the years, a set of training systems has been formed, including what time to go to where and what training to do.

The only difference is that some minor adjustments are made to the route of the annual training.

For example, this year we help the villagers harvest rice, but next year if you change the company commander, the method may change to other methods.

Ge Hongtao roughly explained tomorrow's route and the arrangements along the way, reminded everyone to be prepared and pay attention to the safety of the new recruits in their respective squads, and then let the squad leaders go back to rest.

After the squad leaders left, Ge Hongtao and Lu Ming did not go back to rest, but continued to discuss things together.

"Captain, I thought you would let the second platoon go today. Those guys are getting impatient. If they weren't still thinking about this, they would have lost their patience and clamored to go back."

"Haha, believe their lies. It would be strange if those bastards could be so proactive. They would probably wish to go back a few days later."

Ge Hongtao looked away from the map and continued, looking at the camp below: "Besides, given the current state of the recruits, I'm afraid those bastards might do something. Let's wait for two more days until the recruits get used to life in the wild."

"Haha, I was just thinking about how to persuade you, Captain. What a waste of time thinking of so many excuses."

"Do you make me sound like a person without any sense of propriety?" Ge Hongtao glanced at Lu Ming who was grinning.

"Like!" Lu Ming nodded without hesitation and answered very affirmatively.

"Get out!" Ge Hongtao cursed with a smile.

"By the way, remember to ask the logistics department to add some ingredients when cooking tomorrow. These new recruits have never lived in the wild, so they must not get infected with parasites or other dirty things."

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

"Okay, go back and rest early."

……

On the third day of training, the recruits were still having a hard time.

They hadn't even completed a fraction of the 180-kilometer field training march yet, so how could Ge Hongtao let them relax?

However, it's not all bad news.

Although we still have to travel through the vast mountains, at least we don’t have to look for insects to eat like we did yesterday.

After living in the wild for two days and two nights, the recruits gradually adapted to this lifestyle and their travel speed also increased a lot.

When the third day of training ended, the recruits had finally completed the first 80 kilometers.

There are only four days left in the seven-day field training.

Walk 100 kilometers in four days, an average of 25 kilometers per day.

Although the straight-line distance is different from the actual distance, it is not a difficult thing for the recruits who have already adapted to life in the wild.

Of course, Ge Hongtao had prepared for this field training for such a long time, so how could he let them get through it so easily?

At the beginning of the fourth day, the recruits noticed the difference.

Not only do they need to hurry on their way, but they also have to devote their energy to dealing with unexpected events that may occur at any time.

For example, just five minutes ago, the team of new recruits had just climbed over a mountain and were about to rest for a while at the foot of the mountain when suddenly several "smoke bombs" were dropped from overhead.

Then, the squad leaders immediately ordered all members to wear gas masks. If they failed to put them on within seven seconds, they would be scolded immediately.

After scolding, you still have to accept the punishment.

Push-ups, squats, duck steps, frog jumps...

Various styles emerge in an endless stream.

More importantly, when you accept the punishment, the team will not stop and wait for you. After completing these items, you still need to run as fast as possible to catch up with the main group.

If you don't catch up within the specified time...

Then congratulations, you will receive new punishment again, and then fall into a vicious circle.

Push-ups and the like were fine, but the most painful punishment was undoubtedly the frog jumps and duck walks.

Walking such a long distance every day, the soles of the feet would be scarred even with the protection of sanitary napkins. It would be extremely painful to walk, let alone frog jumps and duck steps.

After suffering losses several times, everyone's vigilance has been raised to the highest level, and everyone will react immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

I would rather cause a misunderstanding than be punished again.

As the training progressed, the nickname Gekeng became more and more popular among the recruits.

What the recruits didn't know was that while they were being tortured to death and running around all day, a group of strong men had already set their sights on them.

On the sixth day of the training, the recruits arrived at the campsite as usual to set up camp and rest.

At the same time, on the other side of the valley, more than thirty strong men were changing clothes under Lu Ming's arrangement.

The green military uniforms were taken off and replaced with uniform black clothes, with a gas mask hanging around their necks. Everyone also had a rubber stick as thick as an arm in their hands.

"Hehe, it's finally our turn to perform. It's not in vain that I've been busy for so long!"

"Haha, when I first came to the army, I was almost killed by those old veterans. Things have changed, and it's finally my turn to experience what it's like to be a bandit!"

"That's right, we have to teach these new recruits a good lesson today!"

"Hahaha……"

After changing into their equipment and looking at their outfits, the group of people burst into laughter.

It was not difficult to hear from their conversation that these people were none other than the thirty-six reconnaissance soldiers from the second platoon of the third reconnaissance company who had been ordered to come to the regiment headquarters to help.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Even though they have changed their clothes, the discipline engraved in their bones will not disappear.

The originally noisy team suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the burly man in black standing at the front of the team.

“Even though our opponents are a bunch of rookies, don’t let your guard down!

From now on, everyone keep silent. If I hear a word of nonsense…"

The burly man in black didn't continue speaking, but the others already understood what he meant.

"Yes!!"

After a low sigh, the forest returned to calm again. As the leading burly man in black waved his hand gently, more than 30 men in black instantly dispersed and disappeared into the night.

Thinking back to when their three platoons almost fought themselves to death in order to qualify to go to the regiment headquarters.

The reason why they were so active was not to accompany the police detective company in some labor training, but simply because their company commander had said that those who went to the regiment headquarters would have a chance to participate in a surprise drill for new recruits.

As I said, the army is a very dull and boring place, especially for the front-line companies that need to be stationed outside for a long time, where there is almost no entertainment.

Now, suddenly knowing that there is such a good thing that can be ordered to deal with new recruits, how can everyone not be enthusiastic.

Not to mention, many of them have experienced similar things.

And because of his experience, when it was his turn to be the 'bad guy', he was extremely excited.

Many people were even willing to give up their hard-earned National Day holiday to help the police detective company train, help Ge Hongtao train soldiers, and serve as the vanguard for new recruits to feed mosquitoes in the deep mountains and forests...

The purpose is to experience what it felt like when the veterans beat people up, and to see the panic expressions of the new recruits.

Therefore, no one was willing to be disqualified because of a small matter, and everyone wanted to show the same spirit as when they went to the battlefield. They were so cautious that they almost treated the new recruits in the valley as real enemies.
