Chapter 55 Isn’t it just twenty kilometers? Run!

Running five kilometers in half an hour is easy if you pack lightly.

Anyone who has trained in the army for a month can easily run five kilometers in less than 25 minutes with light equipment.

Even if it is an armed five-kilometer run and completed in 25 minutes, it is still a lot.

But it's different now.

The backpack and the gun weighed nearly fifty pounds.

Moreover, they were running on rugged mountain roads.

The most important thing is that they have to keep running.

Traveling twenty kilometers in one breath is simply life-threatening!

But the platoon leader didn't give them any time to bargain and rushed out first.

The squad leader followed the platoon leader, constantly turning back to urge the students in the class to follow!

Fortunately, the freshmen have been doing physical training every day during this month of training.

I have adapted to the rhythm of long-distance running.

I could get used to it at first.

"Damn it! Give it a try! Isn't it just twenty kilometers? Run to the death!"

The students in the third class cheered and encouraged each other and rushed out one after another.

Although this is very tiring, it is nothing to Jiang Fan who has been running with heavy weights.

When he started to tie a sandbag on himself before running, the weight had already reached 40 kilograms.

Later it was added to more than fifty kilograms.

In terms of distance, he even had the feat of running nearly 30 kilometers in one breath.

His physical fitness is already much better than that of the monitors.

Therefore, the current situation is nothing to him.

"Jiang Fan, your physical fitness is relatively strong. Later when you see some comrades in the class who can't bear it, please help them more."

When Jiang Fan was running, deputy squad leader Zhao Dong quickly followed him and said to him: "The students in the class have never tried running with weights before. This is their first time, and it is such a long-distance armed rapid march. It must be

Still can’t get used to it.”

"You are different! After training for nearly a month, you have already adapted to the weight and distance!"

Jiang Fan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I can do it!"

Even if Zhao Dong didn't say anything, Jiang Fan would naturally not only care about himself.

This kind of training pays more attention to the unity of a group.

In the army, those who operate as a collective unit assist each other.

Jiang Fan remembered very clearly that when he first joined the army in his previous life, his physical fitness was not good.

Then the company had to conduct a collective five-kilometer assessment. It was a veteran in the class with good physical fitness who pushed him to the finish line!

This is helping each other.

If this was really a war, they would not leave behind their fallen comrades.

But to lead them to charge together!

Throughout the mountainous area, the cheers of various squad and platoon leaders kept ringing, urging the soldiers in their squads to speed up and keep up with the team!

Naturally, there is no problem in the first two or three kilometers, everyone can keep up.

However, once I reached the uphill stage, my legs felt as if they were made of lead and were very heavy.

Every step you take takes a lot of effort.

There are already many students who are panting heavily.

There are also two students in Class 3, and their speed has obviously slowed down.

At such a slow speed, it is impossible to reach the destination within the specified time.

Finally, the squad leader and Zhao Dong took the lead to help.

Whenever you are going uphill, put your hands on the backpacks of those students who are lagging behind, and give them a little push to push them up.

Fortunately, the hillside is not very high, and the students still have strength. If you give them a little strength, you can stabilize their previous speed and push them up.

When going uphill, the overall speed slows down, and you can only increase your speed by increasing your pace.

But when going downhill, let them run downhill.

Going downhill requires no effort and allows them to recover their strength.

Not only is this the case in Class 3, but the squad leaders in other classes and the students who already have relatively good physical fitness are also helping other students.

In this way, the class helped each other, and in the first hour, they successfully crossed the twelve kilometers of mountain road.

There are eight kilometers left.

There is one hour left.

But now, their physical strength is also very exhausted.

It is still very difficult to complete the remaining eight kilometers by brisk walking and running in one hour.

Sure enough, after advancing for another two or three kilometers, some students were finally exhausted and found it difficult to even walk.

The squad leader and students in the class could only remove their equipment and let them move forward lightly.

The squad leader and the students with better physical fitness share their equipment.

The same applies to Class 3.

There was a student who couldn't walk anymore, so the monitor and deputy monitor held his backpack with both hands.

Jiang Fan, on the other hand, was responsible for holding the rifle in his hand and helping the students move forward lightly for a period of time. After recovering some strength, he allowed him to carry the rifle on his back.

"Monitor, squad deputy, I have an idea!"

Jiang Fan said to the two squad leaders: "I will carry a backpack and take the students who have not taken off their light equipment to speed up and rush forward."

"Take him out for about a kilometer, then I will turn back and take the next one who is not very strong to speed up!"

"This way they can slow down a little and rest longer when they are moving forward. What do you think?"

When Su He and Zhao Dong heard this, they couldn't help but frown.

Su He said: "Jiang Fan, we all know the method you mentioned. We veterans have also tried it before when we practiced like this."

"Soldiers who are in good physical condition carry their backpacks and rush forward at a faster speed. It is not difficult for students who are weak to pack lightly and speed up a little to follow."

"This can indeed help them recover faster. But if you do this, you will consume more energy. Can you hold on?"

"Besides, we are the vanguard, and the organization will not let the freshmen walk alone in front. This is too dangerous!"

Jiang Fan said: "I should be able to!"

"Of course it won't work for the freshmen to go up alone. But we can let the class deputy lead the team from the front, and I will be responsible for the "transportation" in the middle. Do you think it is okay?"

Su He's eyes lit up, "That might be possible!"

"But, are you sure you can carry it? If you have a backpack, if you carry another backpack, it will weigh nearly a hundred pounds!"

Jiang Fan nodded confidently: "I can do it! Give it a try!"

Seeing Jiang Fan's confidence, Su He hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Okay! I'll ask the platoon leader for instructions first!"

After saying that, Su He jogged up and reported the matter to the platoon leader.

Then he quickly ran back and said to Jiang Fan and Zhao Dong: "The platoon leader also asked the squadron leader for instructions, and the squadron leader agreed. Let's get started!"

"good!"

Zhao Dong and Jiang Fan looked at each other, then called over two students who were not very strong and asked them to speed up after them.
