The place where something happened is called a wading ground.

As the name suggests, it is a large 30-meter-long pool.

Because both 86a and bmp-2 are amphibious, water barriers are a common obstacle in obstacle courses.

If an outsider looks at it, what's so great about an amphibious invasion chariot passing through a 30-meter wading field?

Of course, this is what the saying goes: A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.

The two sections of the wading site are two steep cement slopes with a slope of 45 degrees.

It is certainly an easy thing to fall into the water, but climbing up from the water requires skill.

As long as the angle of the infantry fighting vehicle entering the wading field is a little inclined, it is easy to cause the left and right track power to be unequal, one side is large and the other is small, resulting in the vehicle being horizontal and cannot even climb out of the wading field.

A few minutes ago, Chen Zheng drove the 86a and rushed into the wading ground at the fastest speed. At the first moment of the infantry fighting vehicle's flight, he quickly switched the high-speed gear into the low-speed gear - this is a driving skill for passing the wading ground.

Generally speaking, when passing through a wading ground, the driver will quickly change the high-speed gear to a low-speed gear the moment before he flew into the air. Because the low-speed gear is sufficient power, it can help the infantry fighting vehicle pass through the water barrier as fast as possible and then climb out.

However, this time Chen Zheng heard a voice that scared him the most when he was shifting gears in the air.

He is very familiar with this sound.

That's the sound of the engine losing power.

To be precise, the sound from the engine transmits power to the gears is minimized in an instant, and it feels like it is about to turn off the engine.

Oops!

Chen Zheng was shocked and sweated coldly at that time.

But I still control the vehicle and step on the accelerator.

The power of the car is gradually losing.

Fortunately, before all the power was lost, 86a climbed out of the wading ground.

But less than ten meters after climbing up, the chariot suddenly stopped and Kadam stopped.

...

Soon, Xu Weiguo rushed to the scene with Zhuangyan.

Chen Zheng, Du Zheng and Huang Siming stood under the tree beside the track with bitter faces.

Anxiety, pain, and all kinds of expressions hung on the faces of the members of the three infantry chariots.

Solemnly stepped forward and communicated with the officers in the referee team in Russian.

After a while, he returned to Xu Weiguo's side.

Xu Weiguo is standing with three members of the infantry chariot at this moment. He is full of anger, but it is not easy to criticize now.

No one wants such an accident. The three crew members are at the most uncomfortable time.

Spreading salt on wounds is not something an officer should do.

Everything must be summarized slowly after the game is over.

"Why are you all wrinkled with a bitter melon face? Take some energy! I didn't say I want to criticize you."

Chen Zheng pulled up the grass next to him and threw it to the ground, saying disgustingly: "Why are you so unlucky! This car probably had a little engine malfunction! But last night, I checked it with the maintenance team and everything was normal..."

"Okay, OK." Xu Weiguo waved his hand: "It's meaningless to be entangled with these things now. No one can tell the truth about machinery."

He came over solemnly and called out: "Battleman Xu."

Xu Weiguo turned around and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? What did their referee team say?"

He also had a little anxious tone.

Zhuang Yan said: "They said that they should follow the rules and let the repair truck come and tow away 86a immediately, and then inspect it on the spot."

"This..." Xu Weiguo was helpless.

But he knew that this was the rule.

According to the rules of the race, if the vehicle fails in the middle, such as a track break, an engine breakdown, or a crash, etc.

If it is caused by the driver's own operation and driving problems, the score for the subject is zero and no rematch will be given.

If it is a pure accident, mechanically unforeseen failure, then replacement of spare vehicles is allowed to be played.

However, it takes 30 seconds to be extra time as a punishment.

Obviously, the referee team asked the repair car to come and towed the 86a away to let the technicians in the repair station determine whether the vehicle's engine was damaged due to Chen Zheng's improper operation.

If so, even if there are other signs of minor subjects in infantry chariot driving and shooting today, the Pla team lost the score of two major subjects in infantry chariot driving obstacles and shooting, and they will definitely become the last among the nine teams.

Everyone's hearts were hanging.

Chen Zheng squatted on the ground, pulled off the tank cap, and didn't dare to lift his head.

Zhuang Yan knew that no comforting words were useful now.

Yesterday, I met a brown bear in a marching angle. Today, I passed the wading ground and the engine failure occurred again.

Xu Weiguo, a complete materialist, had to sigh: "Damn it!"

He glanced at the sun in the sky.

Then he said to Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang Yan, do you think this Russian base is specifically for us? From the beginning of the game, it is like a spell falling on our heads, and everything goes wrong..."

As he said that, he subconsciously reached out and touched his head.

"Now I can only wait for the final result." Zhuang Yan could only squat under the shade of the tree.

86a was dragged out of the track, and Shasa at the maintenance station took people to open the engine cover and took a few Russian soldiers to check the engine.

Yesterday's score was third. If the score was cancelled from the Infantry Chariot today, it will directly lead to the overall score of the entire team being at the bottom.

The goal of "protecting two and competing for one" proposed by the superior is a mirage, which cannot be achieved...

Everyone's heart was cold and hung in the air.

The sky suddenly became darker, and the summer sky in Novosibirsk was like a child's face, changing as soon as you say it.

The raindrops suddenly fell.

Du Zheng looked up at the sky and found that there was a dark cloud above his head, and it was sunny elsewhere, and it seemed like a cloud and rain.

"When people are in trouble, the dark clouds are only raining on their heads..."

After suffering for more than ten minutes, I finally saw Shasa and his men leaving the 86  a-stage tank in the distance, wiping their hands with a dirty towel, and walking towards the referee team.

"They have completed the identification." Huang Siming reminded everyone.

Everyone sitting on the ground immediately turned their heads and their eyes fell on Shasa.

After Shasa talked with the referees, Colonel Petronov waved to Xu Weiguo: "Lieutenant Colonel, please come here!"

"Let's go and accompany me to translate." Xu Weiguo called Zhuangyan and came to Petronov together.

"There is good news to tell you." The colonel's mouth cracked and his white teeth showed: "After our technicians identified, your infantry fighting vehicle was mechanically faulty and not human fault, so you can replace the spare car immediately to continue the competition."

For Xu Weiguo, this is finally good news.

"But, according to the regulations, you will deduct 30 seconds."

Peternov said in a clear tone of reward and punishment: "You can only do things according to the rules."

"Okay." Xu Weiguo didn't want to say much.

Since the accident happened, it is already good to get this result.

Sometimes, luck is luck, not something that human power can control.

"Chen Zheng, hurry up and drive the spare car over and continue the competition!"

Chen Zheng jumped up from the top and replied: "Yes!"

Then, the person ran away.

The game continued less than ten minutes later.

Since there have been drones monitoring in the air before, the time is calculated after passing the wading site.

However, now it is equivalent to 30 seconds left in vain, and the entire game situation has become more serious.

It’s all about masters, and everyone will fight every second. It’s already a very irreparable loss if you give 30 seconds out of thin air.

Chen Zheng felt that he was under great pressure.

According to the current situation, to achieve the goal of "maintaining two and competing for one", today's results must enter the top two before they can basically complete the task.

While waiting for the verdict just now, he was very uneasy. If the engine was damaged due to improper operation, it would be like he had implicated everyone, which would make him have no face to face his comrades.

Fortunately, everything is over now.

"Chen Zheng, do you have the confidence to catch up with the achievements of the Russians?"

The three of them sat in the strait chariot and were still waiting for the referee team to announce the order to start. Du Zheng of the station first asked the driver Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng said: "Leave it to me, I will explode my own small universe today, and I will open my best record!"

He said, crossing his fingers and twisting the joints so loudly.
