At this time.

The new recruits came out in force and their slogans were extremely loud.

But Li Xiu, who was walking in the front row, felt helpless.

There was no other way, so Shi Jianxiong named him and assigned him a difficult task.

Carrying the military flag.

The military flag, the company flag! It is also the soul of a soldier.

Li Xiu has the best physical fitness and the best performance in the recruit company, so naturally he will carry the military flag and walk at the front.

"The flag will not fall if a person falls, but the flag will stand if a person dies!"

Shi Jianxiong's original words made Li Xiu quite helpless.

Winter in Xinjiang is very cold.

Especially in the early morning, it is at least ten degrees below zero.

Li Xiu was just glad that the wind was relatively light, otherwise Li Xiu felt that his hands might be frozen off.

This time the march route did not follow the Gobi Desert last time, but made a half circle, thinking of another path to the west.

"Keep the formation, no one can be left behind!"

"No one is allowed to leave the team without permission"

Shi Jianxiong warned from behind.

At this time, instructor Jiang Shanhai was walking next to Shi Jianxiong, looking at the recruits who were walking neatly, and nodded slightly.

"These new recruits are quite energetic."

"Vitality?" Shi Jianxiong smiled when he heard this and said: "It's only five kilometers, so they are naturally energetic. Let's try again after we go fifteen kilometers?"

Jiang Shanhai was noncommittal and reminded: "Is the weather okay?"

The climate in Xinjiang is changeable and extreme and severe weather is constant.

Shi Jianxiong nodded and said: "Don't worry, I checked the weather forecast... There shouldn't be any problems."

Jiang Shanhai nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

He also sighed: "The snowy road is difficult."

Shi Jianxiong smiled and said: "We have walked this road more than ten times, and we come here once every year. Don't worry, there will be no problems."

"Besides, where are these brats now? Previously, the intensity of camping training for my unit was several times higher than this."

"Our slogan at that time was that we were not afraid of hardship and death. If there was a road, we would not walk through the Gobi Desert. If we had a bridge, we would not walk on the glacier. If we had a house, we would not sleep on the snow. If we had water, we would not drink ice and snow. Everything is prepared for war. Now.

Their running method...how about playing house?" Shi Jianxiong shook his head.

"Aren't they still new recruits? If you want your fourth company to practice like that, I will never stop you." Jiang Shan Haidao.

Shi Jianxiong chuckled and then said: "Don't worry, the containment vehicle is at the back. If you can't hold on, just sleep in the vehicle."

Jiang Shanhai felt relieved.

………………

There was a road at the beginning, and the recruits walked along it. Both sides were covered with silver, and the ground was hard.

The road was icy and uneven, making it very harsh.

The slogans of the recruits gradually became smaller over time.

After all, they were fully armed at this time and carried 25 kilograms of weight, which was half the weight of their previous weapons. Moreover, when they walked five kilometers, the road also had a slope.

With backache and shoulder pain, many recruits began to breathe.

"You've only walked ten kilometers and you can't stand it anymore?"

"Don't forget, there are snow-capped mountains ahead of us! Now, you are taking a dirt road. This is the best and most comfortable road."

When Shi Jianxiong saw that the recruits at the end were showing signs of falling behind, he scolded him.

The new recruits who were scolded could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

Many new recruits have long lost their motivation to start.

There was no way, the weight on their bodies was too much, and they couldn't breathe.

And, I haven’t had breakfast yet.

Li Xiu was carrying the flag in front and hurried forward step by step.

Jiang Shanhai suddenly saw that Li Xiu was still carrying the flag, and was surprised: "Li Xiu. Why are you still carrying the flag? You carried the flag for ten kilometers?"

Li Xiu didn't blush or gasp, and nodded.

He doesn't have much pressure. He usually practices gun-holding, which is more tiring than this.

After all, holding a gun requires a very steady hand, and carrying a flag only requires that the flag does not fall.

Moreover, Li Xiu discovered that carrying the flag is actually a basic skill for recruits.

After finally mastering the basic skills of the recruit company, Li Xiu naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to master the scroll king.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shanhai said: "Let's change to someone else. You should rest for a while first."

Unexpectedly, Li Xiu smiled and said: "Instructor, I have good physical strength, I will resist for a while longer."

Jiang Shanhai nodded and asked, "Are you tired?"

A little bit. After all, Li Xiu was still wearing a sand vest. Although he didn't have sand leggings, he still carried an astonishing 40 kilograms of weight.

However, he still shook his head and said, "I'm not tired."

If you have the king of volume, you can live your life, but it doesn’t matter if you are a little tired.

Jiang Shanhai didn't say much more, patted Li Xiu on the shoulder and said: "If you can't hold on any longer, you can replace him."

Li Xiu nodded and continued marching.

After marching another kilometer, Shi Jianxiong finally asked everyone to stop.

"Okay, let's all rest in place for ten minutes. Ahead, we have to cross the first snow-capped mountain no-man's land."

As soon as Shi Jianxiong finished speaking, all the recruits squatted down tiredly, and sat directly on the ground regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

"So tired, tired and hungry"

"This weight is really terrible. It's 25 kilograms. I feel like I'm carrying a stone."

"There are still more than a hundred kilometers."

Each of the recruits cherished the hard-won opportunity to rest and quickly took out the self-prepared food from their pockets.

"It's over, my steamed buns are frozen solid"

"I can't bite, what should I do?"

"My teeth!"

But at this time, the recruits were shocked to find that their steamed buns were all frozen and hard, and when they were bitten into their mouths, they had to be softened with saliva before they could be chewed.

There is only ten minutes, and there is no time to light a fire.

For a time, everyone was in trouble.

Shi Jianxiong looked at everyone and said coldly: "If it's frozen, you can't eat it?"

"Why are you so squeamish?! When the People's Liberation Army was fighting, all our ancestors ate were raw potatoes that were cold and hard. Why don't you eat white-flour steamed buns?"

For a moment, the recruits were silent.

"Ten minutes, I still only give you ten minutes."

"In ten minutes, we will start walking on the snowy road."

The words just fell.

Li Xiu ate the steamed bun without hesitation, took a mouthful of steamed bun, and drank a sip of water.

Following the water, the steamed buns gradually soften and become easier to chew.

Seeing Li Xiu taking the lead, the others followed suit.

I stuffed a whole piece of frozen steamed bun into my belly, but the taste was not good.

However, the steamed buns are only frozen on the surface, and are still soft inside.

Li Xiu stuffed the steamed buns deep inside the backpack, wrapping the steamed buns in a thick backpack to limit heat exchange.

And, this skill was passed on to other recruits.

With Li Xiu's prestige, the recruits in the second class naturally followed the instructions, and Li Xiu naturally couldn't control the rest.

After resting, everyone was ready to continue setting off.

As time went by, the terrain became steeper and steeper, but the recruits still maintained a complete formation and drove one step at a time.

After walking for another five kilometers, everyone suddenly discovered that the road gradually disappeared, and there was a shallow layer of silver on the ground. Similarly, the slope became steeper and steeper.

Finally we have to cross the snowy road.

Snowy road, bumpy.

The ground is slippery.

Although the snow was shallow at first, the footprints became deeper as we walked.

However, Shi Jianxiong was obviously not here for the first time. He was familiar with the road and walked in front, leading the team forward.
Chapter completed!
