The next day, at dawn, all the soldiers in the camp gathered at the school grounds.
The school grounds of the 14th Battalion where Liu Ruyan was located was quite cool and cool. Each of the 500 recruits received a wooden gun and lined up in formation. The few in charge of training the soldiers came on stage one after another.
According to the military establishment, one hundred people form a "capital", led by their respective captains.
The number 100 recruits brought by Tie Sanbian are almost the same age, and they are all young men in their prime. Among them, Tie Sanbian has the loudest voice.
"You bastards, stand still and straighten your backs!" Tie Sanbian held a riding crop and patrolled back and forth among the troops. "I have been leading troops for many years, and you are the least qualified. Look at this sad face.
De Xing, you came here to mourn!"
When Iron Three Whip is training soldiers, his mouth is so poisonous that even a tough guy can cry when he scolds him.
"Cheer up!" He walked and inspected the soldiers. "If you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to work hard and practice to death!"
After a round of inspection, Iron Three Whips walked back to the stands, raised his whip and pointed to the east: "Did you see that camp? There are elite troops in our military camp. They eat meat for every meal. Don't you want to be selected into the Iron Cavalry Army?
, Divine Arm Camp, Strong Crossbow Formation? Don’t you want to achieve military success and be the general who leads thousands of armies?”
"Think!!" a hundred soldiers below shouted in unison.
The corners of Iron Sanbian's lips raised: "Hey, that's right. I was afraid that you would be willing to sacrifice your lives to the enemy."
The teenagers tried hard not to laugh.
After the training, Tie Sanbian picked up a wooden gun used by soldiers and taught everyone a set of basic marksmanship.
He demonstrated one move after another, and the people below him followed suit. After he had almost finished teaching, everyone was allowed to practice the Iron Three Whip on their own.
Iron Three Whips patrolled back and forth, and whenever he found someone whose posture was wrong, he immediately corrected it and led the troops very strictly.
"The chassis is not stable enough!"
He kicked a certain soldier, and the young man lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Go to the edge and march on horseback. Wait for half an hour before returning to the team."
The young man bowed his head and shouted.
When he walked in front of Liu Ruyan, Iron Three Whip deliberately paused for a while, and unexpectedly found that "Wang Dazhuang" was getting better at this style of marksmanship, and he couldn't make any mistakes in every move.
He nodded slightly and walked around Liu Ruyan.
Next is Dong Qingxian. Unexpectedly, this man named "Zhang Erhei" is not only fair-skinned, but also has a stable body, which is not bad.
In the next few days, we will continue to practice marksmanship. Iron Three Whip will conduct inspections while giving assessments to the new recruits.
On the fifth day, the recruits continued to run circles around the mountain.
After ten rounds, six soldiers successfully completed their mission this time. Needless to say for the others, a whipping was indispensable.
At night, Liu Xin lay on the mat, rubbing his red buttocks, thinking about how many hares he could catch in the animal cage he just put in.
After a while, he turned over and continued to use the cattail fan to blow the wind: "I heard that the sailors touched a big tortoise today, which is as big as a water tank."
Everyone was stunned: "Such a big bastard, how can it not become a spirit?"
Liu Xin frowned: "I don't know if he has become a spirit or not, but the bastard has spirituality, but it's a pity that he was stewed in a pot by those sailors."
"Hey, if I let you catch the bastard, I'll be stewed in the pot." Everyone laughed.
Liu Xin scratched his chin: "That's true."
On the sixth day, the new recruits practiced in the school grounds.
Liu Ruyan wielded a wooden spear. Even though she had already mastered various weapons, she was still meticulously practicing basic marksmanship at this moment.
Tie Sanbian was pacing. He had just finished inspecting the soldiers under his command. At this time, a messenger rushed into the school grounds to report something important.
The messenger whispered to Tie Sanbian, who glanced at Liu Ruyan and waved to her.
"Wang Dazhuang——" Tie Sanbian shouted.
Liu Ruyan immediately stepped out of the queue, performed a military salute, and walked towards the capital.
Iron Three Whip asked the recruits below to continue training, then took Liu Ruyan to the side and squinted at her: "You have become more capable. Do you know Dr. Gou from the military medical camp?"
"Doctor Gou?" Liu Ruyan thought of Bai Zhi.
Tie Sanbian nodded and took her outside the camp, saying: "This morning, a soldier found a floating body by the water, and it was determined to be someone from the navy. Doctor Gou has been invited to do an autopsy, and he personally
Call me by name and ask you to come and take a look."
After saying that, the two of them quickened their pace towards the water bank.
The Chizhou water system extends in all directions, and the place where the navy usually exercises is just a tributary.
When Liu Ruyan arrived there, Bai Zhi had already completed the initial test.
He stood up, looked at the waiting navy captain, and sighed: "The male corpse had water foam overflowing from his mouth and nose, and his abdomen was swollen. He died of drowning before his death."
Du Tou couldn't believe it: "These sailors have been in the army for two years. Who is not good at swimming, how could they be drowned... Could it be that someone attacked them secretly and threw their bodies into the water?"
Bai Zhi shook her head: "The deceased's lungs and abdomen were swollen with water, but there were no external injuries on his body, ruling out the possibility of homicide."
Liu Ruyan slowly approached and saw the body with its eyes closed. It was indeed drowned, but there were a few questions she couldn't figure out.
"When did you drown?" she asked.
"At Mao Shi this morning." Bai Zhi faced her, her face softened slightly, "It was just dawn at Mao Shi, and the navy hadn't started training yet. The deceased planned to take advantage of the low tide of the river to catch some fish, shrimp, shells and the like."
"I heard that someone caught a water turtle yesterday?" she asked suddenly.
The captain of the naval camp kindly explained: "There is a rumor in the army that someone touched a big tortoise in the water. This soldier may have been greedy and slipped to the waterside early, but he lost his life."
After the body was carried down, Liu Ruyan wandered along the waterfront to see if there was anything missing.
The river is not as good as the sea at low tide, but you can still pick up some shells and even crabs and other aquatic products in the sand.
The river sand was fine and soft, and there was nothing strange about it except for the footprints of a few of them. She looked at the white water and vaguely saw a wide fishing net surrounding the entire gorge.
"What is that net for?" She pointed into the distance.
The navy all raised their heads: "Oh, that's right. We were just afraid of enemy troops crossing the water, so we separated them with nets."
Liu Ruyan also squinted her eyes and saw many Jingtie flashing with cold light on the net, presumably to prevent the enemy from sneak attack.
After some investigation, various signs showed that the sailor did indeed die of drowning.
"Perhaps the deceased was in a hurry to get into the water, and his legs and feet were cramped for a while, and there were no other soldiers around to look after each other," she guessed.
"It is indeed possible." The navy sighed. "Although this accident happened, as long as the enemy does not attack, it will be fine."
After saying that, they all turned towards Bai Zhi and clasped their fists: "Thanks to Doctor Gou for helping me, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Bai Zhi responded respectfully: "It doesn't matter."
After the incident was over, he and Liu Ruyan returned to the camp to rest.
