Being a battalion commander and being a team member feels absolutely different.

In the past, Tang Wenkai would stand by the training ground in the camp most of the time, watching the soldiers rush back to the finish line with full arms.

Occasionally, I would run with the team, but there would be no pressure on the running, and there would be no sound of the squad leader's belt waving in the wind.

Generally, he doesn't need to bear weight.

In fact, Tang Wenkai has made a lot of preparations recently in order to participate in the selection.

For example, get up one hour early every day, go around the camp and run five kilometers once a day, and sometimes ten kilometers.

Or find a mountain bag and rush up to exercise your explosive power in one breath.

However, despite some restorative training, Tang Wenkai was also the top player in the army scout competition.

But time is unforgiving.

At the age of 30, it is no longer a golden age in terms of kinematics.

This time, the ten-kilometer armed cross-country almost destroyed Tang Wenkai's confidence.

In the special forces, if a soldier like Zhuang Yan who has participated in special training at the headquarters or who has participated in foreign competitions, he will know the standards for ten kilometers of armed cross-country.

In lightweight conditions (only carrying a rifle), it must be excellent within 36 minutes, good within 38 minutes, and pass the line within 40 minutes.

If it is a full package (adding a backpack), it will be excellent within 39 minutes, good within 42 minutes, and within 45 minutes.

This time it was full outfit, and Tang Wenkai ran for 46 points.

Even the passing line failed to reach...

Among the fastest people in the team, Zhuang Yan is counted, Xu Xingguo is counted, a non-commissioned officer in the C Group Army is counted, and another one is actually Ao Le from the 9th squad of the 3rd platoon of the 1st Company.

The speeds of these four people are almost the same, and the difference is only a few seconds.

Ao Le is an anomaly.

Most of the people who run in the top 10 are from the Red Arrow Team and the C Group Army Special Forces Team, with only two exceptions.

One is solemn and the other is Aole.

Ao Le is a Mongolian, big and thick. He has an advantage. He is definitely a good player in off-roading with heavy loads.

Just like the horses on the grassland, they have absolutely amazing power.

If he had not been burdened, his speed might not be beyond the top ten, but his running speed was almost the same as his running speed without burdens, and there was no big difference at all.

Seeing that he discovered the strange characteristics of Aole in the company at that time, several officers in the company were amazed at that time.

Finally, the discussion came to a result - Ao Le was very important, so he wanted to carry a load-carrying car, just like carrying something or not.

Although the 1st Company performed well in the first survey project, Tang Wenkai would be the same experience.

He is the last in the team.

When they ran past the finish line, the instructors of the army training team on the card table shook their heads secretly.

This score is almost impossible for the first month of elimination among the teachers who are responsible for this virtual training.

Most of the training teams are non-commissioned officers, and officers account for about a quarter of them.

Most officers are in their twenties, most of them are platoon-level cadres, namely second lieutenants, and some lieutenants.

Whether it is the special forces, the reconnaissance force, or the young officers have extremely high training levels.

Because most of these people were promoted from grassroots soldiers, they served in the same special forces in the early years, and had an extremely stable and excellent military foundation.

Therefore, most of them will not be too bad.

Tang Wenkai's backwardness was actually not beyond the expectations of other team members.

A major, over thirty years old, is thirty years old in two months.

At this age, it is normal to be able to carry a 15kg backpack and run a ten-kilometer off-road level of 46 points with an automatic rifle, which is also in the company.

But this is a training team, a training team for international scout competitions. Here, it is difficult for you to enter the final list of personnel without running out of excellence, let alone you can't even reach the passing line?

Everyone started to talk secretly.

It is said that Battalion Commander Tang may have been very happy and used his position as a major to get the opportunity to come for training and run. In fact, his personal training level may be really not high. The reconnaissance battalion of the 4th Division had to let him come because of his pretext as the battalion commander.

Of course, no one said in front of Tang Wenkai.

Because he is the first battalion commander after all, don’t act like a battalion commander as a cadre, right?

Tang Wenkai felt very uncomfortable himself.

Since the day he joined the army, he has been the best in the army.

His father is the leader, and he is strong, and he doesn't want others to take care of him deliberately because of his father, so he trains very hard.

Even, sometimes he had to live under his father's tall back.

The second generation of the military is actually not easy to be a military generation.

If you do it well, others say it depends on your father; if you can't do it well, others say that someone from a certain family has no use for birds at all, if it weren't for his father...

Therefore, Tang Wenkai was much more diligent than the soldiers of the same year.

If someone else sweats, he will shed twice.

Fight for the first place in everything and get first in every item.

Become a soldier, take the exam, and promote...

Every step, Tang Wenkai asked himself that he had never tested his father who had made every step of the way.

But unexpectedly, when I became the battalion commander, I now came to this training team and fell into a more uncomfortable situation than when I was a soldier.

After the ten-kilometer off-road end, the instructor gathered everyone and began to read out the assessment results.

When reading Tang Wenkai, the teacher's instead of seemingly getting worse, and he read the two numbers "46" more heavily, making Tang Wenkai, who was standing in the team, feel as if his face was being pressed on the fire, making it painful.

After the morning subject exam, we gathered and returned to the garage room to disband and have breakfast.

Before the disbandment, the teacher announced something.

"I forgot to remind you before, now I will announce something to you. After returning to the room, I will unload my military rank and put it in your storage locker. Here, there is no need for military ranks. Here, there are also some military ranks. You only have one identity, all of them are training students. I would like to remind you one thing, here, you only recognize the results. Whoever has the best results will have the chance to represent our PLA in the international scout competition. After the basic assessment, we will divide the class. There are 10 classes in the entire training team, with 12 members in each class. You will definitely ask, is the class division?"

He glanced at everyone, as if he was keeping a secret.

Then he was so happy that he said: "Your teams in the same team may not necessarily participate in the training camp in the next few months. Instead, they will be ranked according to the comprehensive scores of all the test scores you have today. The 12 team members with the highest scores will enter Class 1, and so on, the 12 team members with the worst scores will enter Class 10."

After announcing his disbandment, he returned to the room.

Tang Wenkai walked to his bed, took off his tactical vest and backpack and placed it on the side of the head of the bed, then wrote down the rank of major, opened the locker and placed it inside.

When he closed the door of the locker, he felt relieved.

This military rank does not give him any privileges here, but rather a kind of pressure and burden.

Perhaps, if you remove this military rank, it will be easier for you to go into battle lightly.

"battalion commander."

Zhuang Yan walked to Tang Wenkai's side, squatted down and asked, "It's okay, you haven't exercised for a long time, so your grades have dropped so much. There are still a few months left to you to recover slowly. It turns out that those with foundation only need to recover, and there is no big problem."

Tang Wenkai forced a smile.

In fact, he knew very well that Zhuang Yan was comforting himself.

There are many masters here, all of whom are selected elite soldiers and powerful generals.

Want to overtake here?

It's not easy.

"Okay, don't comfort me." Tang Wenkai said: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile either."

Zhuang Yan said: "I am not comforting you. In fact, your strengths are in other subjects. Many hard subjects have no advantages due to age and physical reasons, but you have other subjects! Otherwise, our teacher assessment will not be able to choose you, right?"

Tang Wenkai smiled slightly after hearing this: "Fortunately you said that, otherwise I would have thought I had been in for personal gain."

This made him feel much more pleasant.

After all, it is clear how you come in and how others think it doesn’t matter. The key is that you are worthy of your conscience.

Zhuang Yan said: "After taking the hard subjects, it will be time for you to show your skills. Then let them see your abilities."

"By the way, solemn." Tang Wenkai suddenly remembered something: "Don't call me battalion commander, the instructor said that there is no distinction between officers and soldiers here, everyone is a team member. You can call me Lao Tang in the future, don't make it special."

Zhuangyan said: "In fact, no matter how you shout it, it's just a title, it doesn't matter."

Tang Wenkai said: "I don't care whether others respect me or not. Respect here is won by strength. Besides, when you call me a battalion commander, I always feel that the pressure is too great. Think about it, a battalion commander is at this level? If you don't feel embarrassed by the face of our battalion, I feel embarrassed."

Zhuang Yan then realized that the battalion commander Tang Wenkai also had his own self-esteem.

"Okay, I will call you Lao Tang from now on. After returning to the army, I will call you battalion commander again."

"One word is certain!"

...

Solemn comforting, although his words could make Tang Wenkai slightly better psychologically, there is one thing he cannot change.
