Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 13 Wu Liuyi's Sense of Crisis
"Can you explain it in detail?" Chen Jiang asked very humbly.

Shi Jin was completely open with them and continued to explain patiently.

"The former is a gradual process, starting with the most basic push-ups, adding a horizontal bar, and slowly training your upper body strength."

He paused, seeing that Chen Jiang wasn't very interested, so he continued, "The latter involves increasing the number of push-ups every day, adding exercises on the parallel bars, especially standard pull-ups, to improve upper body strength. This comprehensive training method is very strenuous, and most people simply can't handle it."

Shi Jin was not lying. He and Wu Liuyi had tried it before. Although this method was effective quickly, it was too cruel. Not only did their hands get covered with blisters, but it was also very easy to get injured. In the end, they both had to give up.

Fortunately, through gradual progress, their upper limb strength has been strengthened, especially Wu Liuyi, whose pair of powerful arms are very obvious, which enabled him to perform nearly 200 abdominal rotations on the bar.

It also laid a solid foundation for his 400-meter hurdles.

"I choose the latter!" Chen Jiang didn't care that Bai Tiejun beside him had opened his mouth in surprise, which was big enough to fit a whole egg, and chose the most difficult path.

Just kidding. If you can't stand out quickly in the 7th Steel Company, it will be difficult to seize opportunities in the future. The army is a place where only the fittest survive.

“Almost” means a lot of difference!

Seeing Chen Jiang's serious expression, Shi Jin stopped trying to persuade him. He told Chen Jiang the relevant training requirements and the general plan. Bai Tiejun's face turned pale after hearing this, and he asked blankly, "Squad leader, if he trains like this, will anyone get killed?"

Shi Jin looked at the resolute Chen Jiang and shook his head helplessly, "I don't know. He will either soar to the sky, or he will realize his shortcomings again."

"But he is a top student after all, so maybe it really is different."

Chen Jiang’s choice is certainly not due to arrogance.

Later in his life, during his time in the special police force, he mastered a more scientific and effective training method. Now, after three months of training in the recruit company, his physical fitness is much better than when he first joined the army.

With a thought, the light blue personal information panel popped up again:

[Name: Chen Jiang
Sex: Male
Age: 20 years old

Nationality: Han
Height: 183cm
Weight: XNUM X kg
Upper body strength: 45
Lower limb strength: 64
Unarmed combat level: 31
Shooting level: 72
Experience Level: Lv1

The various values ​​have improved significantly compared to the beginning, but compared to top students like Wu Liuyi, there is still a huge gap. However, what makes Chen Jiang very excited is that this system seems to be iteratively upgraded. There is a new column of "perception distance" below:
Current perception distance: 6.4 meters.

In other words, within the 6.4-meter circle with him as the center, he can clearly understand any movement.

The radius is larger than at the beginning, which shows that as his ability continues to improve, this skill can also be strengthened accordingly.

"Alas, I still have to practice hard!" Chen Jiang couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Jin took the two of them to watch how the other people in the class were training, including the Type 86 armored personnel carriers they had just replaced. The soldiers were extremely agile, like tigers coming down the mountain, and the momentum of the training was quite majestic.

There is also their shooting training ground, which is larger and more formal than the one in the recruit company. It not only has a close-range pistol shooting range, but also a 100-meter rifle shooting range, as well as sniper training targets hundreds of meters away. Bai Tiejun almost drooled when he saw it.

Of course, if he knew he would eventually become the master of the Heartless Pit and be discharged early, I wonder how he would feel. The afternoon training was formation training, which new recruits were required to participate in. Although the formation standards of the Seventh Company were also very high, Chen Jiang was not inferior to the veterans in this regard, so the training was relatively easy.

At night, the company also had cultural studies. In this regard, Chen Jiang completely crushed the others. After receiving special approval from Gao Cheng, he came to the training ground alone and started the most primitive push-up training.

Push-ups look simple, but they are extremely difficult to do well. The ones we usually see are just moving the buttocks up and down, and the effect of this kind of push-ups is better than nothing.

A standard push-up requires that your arms be at least shoulder-width apart (the further outward, the more difficult it is), and then your torso, hips, and thighs must be kept in a straight line, with your elbows extended until your chest touches the ground and then back, to complete one.

For new recruits who have just joined the army, it is very good if they can do 20 standard push-ups at a time. Being able to do 50 at a time is basically a task that only veterans can accomplish.

Chen Jiang's upper limb strength was still relatively weak, and he could only do about ten. Although he gritted his teeth and persevered through a few, he couldn't hold on any longer in the end.

In the intervals between push-ups, he also does strength training for his lower limbs, such as sit-ups, frog jumps, and high leg raises.
After doing a few sets of push-ups, you also need to do pull-ups to provide strength support for the abdominal rotation bar that is about to begin.

Pull-ups are probably the nightmare of all recruits. Many people can't even pull up a single one at the beginning, let alone pull-ups with standard posture.

Chen Jiang's pull-ups were very standard, with his elbows extended until his chin passed the bar (his head had to be perpendicular to the ground), without swinging his body to "borrow force" in the middle. He could only do about 5 of these standard pull-ups.

Finally, he was exhausted and fell heavily into the sand pit under the horizontal bar.

"Alas, my body is still too weak." Chen Jiang couldn't help but laugh at himself.

In fact, Gao Cheng had watched his training here through a telescope.

"Chen Jiang is a pretty good kid. Is he risking his life like this on his first day?"

"Who?" Wu Liuyi was also a little unbelievable, and hurriedly took the telescope from the company commander and looked at it.

"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Haste makes waste'? Whose body can handle such hard work?" Wu Liuyi himself is a ruthless person. He doesn't regard himself as a human being during training. But even so, when Shi Jin taught him to use the second method, he couldn't resist it.

Especially his back injury, which was a hidden danger buried at that time.

"Well, we need to take it easy on this kid and not let him get too tired from training." Gao Cheng walked to the table and took out a bottle of medicinal wine for bones and sprains and handed it to Wu Liuyi. "Let him massage it before bed. These college recruits are quite delicate."

Wu Liuyi took the medicine bottle silently, but a storm was brewing in his heart.

When did Gao Cheng show care for his subordinates?

That will only happen when they fully recognize you as a person.

Wu Liuyi won the second place in the 5000-meter race that year, which qualified him to act like a spoiled brat in front of Gao Cheng. But Chen Jiang was a new recruit, and it was only the first day, but Gao Cheng actually looked up to him.

It seems that I need to practice more, I can’t let this kid overtake me!
Wu Liuyi made up his mind secretly.
