Chapter 28 Special Operations Training (4)

  After two sets of shuttle runs and push-ups, the muscles of several team members had reached their limit. Since today was the first day of formal training, it was crucial to see if they could hold on. Therefore, Wang Mingyu only let them rest for half an hour. During this half hour, Wang Mingyu taught them how to relax each other's muscles through massage.

  These are some knowledge summarized by modern people, currently almost no one knows in China. A large amount of training cannot lie down to rest, can only slowly take a walk and then massage each other, achieving the best exercise effect. In fact, this method has quickly achieved results, everyone's muscles have been relaxing continuously, their expressions have also become more and more relaxed, and they all praised the magic of these small methods. For Wang Mingyu, it was also transformed from brotherly friendship to a kind of inexplicable worship, a pure worship for the strong.

  Half an hour later, Wang Mingyu let everyone take a sip of water and then formed up in ranks, preparing to head deep into the mountains for a five-kilometer loaded hike. After such intense training, everyone's body had reached its limit; how could they break through this limit? Loaded hiking was a test - as long as you persisted, you would succeed.

  "Brothers, the intensity of this training is beyond your imagination. You've seen it for yourselves, these exercises are tough and will test your willpower and physical strength. Why do we call it special forces training? Why do we call it special forces? If we didn't have such high-intensity training, then we wouldn't be able to surpass others, nor would we be able to become the kings of the military, nor would we be able to become special forces.

  The Japanese military's overall quality is higher than ours, their equipment is also better than ours. But are we inferior to them?" Wang Mingyu asked loudly and excitedly. "We're not inferior to them!" several team members shouted in unison. The mention of the Japanese was like a deep-seated hatred, no one would admit defeat. This was also the biggest goal of their training.

  "That's right, we're not inferior to them. We need to become stronger than them, we need to drive them out of China. That's why we need to train, that's why we need to become an iron-blooded unit that makes them tremble with fear. The word 'failure' is not in our dictionary. We must work hard, we must succeed, and become a strong nation! Now I command, everyone, turn right, start running!"

  With that, Wang Mingyu led the team on their 5-kilometer cross-country run. In the first kilometer, everyone was still relatively relaxed, basically keeping up with each other. But as they went further, their speed began to slow down. With less than 40 kilograms of weight on their backs, under high-intensity training, those who could maintain this intensity were the strong ones.

  As they ran, Wang Mingyu shouted out encouragement and orders, "Faster! Keep up! Don't fall behind!" The team members gritted their teeth, sweat dripping from their brows, but they didn't give up. They knew that only by pushing themselves to the limit could they become true special forces.

  "Now in our hearts we must not think of the weight on our bodies, nor think about our previous choices. What we need to think about is that once we finish running these five kilometers, we will be able to achieve victory, and we will be one step closer to driving away those devils. We will be able to eliminate more of those beasts that have made us experience family destruction and separation in the future. For our nation, for our families, we must persevere, hold on, brothers!"

  Several people heard Wang Mingyu's words and suddenly changed from pain to a feeling that they couldn't express themselves. Yes, our country, our nation has been through too much, with too many families broken and separated. If we can't even persist in training, how can we face the deceased compatriots, the deceased family members? How can we face ourselves as Chinese people, as soldiers?

  Several people suddenly showed a resolute expression, constantly running forward, as if their legs were no longer their own. However, there was only one goal in their eyes - the finish line. They reminded themselves that they could not fall down before reaching the finish line, nor did they dare to fall down. It was this conviction that supported them in completing the long five-kilometer run. It was this conviction that allowed them to persist in training for two months and complete the cruel training, becoming a qualified strong person.

  The long five kilometers seemed to have no end, and in the dense mountain forest, there was also no end in sight. The cross-country running on the mountainous terrain was even more difficult than that on flat ground. They kept running, and when they couldn't run anymore, they started walking, but none of them stopped until they reached the finish line.

  One person ran and fell down, someone helped to pick him up, then continued running forward. Like this, under everyone's joint efforts, the five-kilometer cross-country run finally saw the finish line, which was 500 meters ahead, the big tree that Wang Mingyu pointed out for them. Although Wang Mingyu didn't accurately measure whether it was exactly five kilometers, but for a route with a straight-line distance of no less than 3.5 kilometers, after many twists and turns, five kilometers were more than enough. Plus, it was mountainous terrain, the difficulty can be imagined.

  A few people who saw the end point seemed to have seen hope and the conviction of a must-win situation. The few people who were walking with a slight run earlier suddenly started jogging. Wang Mingyu was always watching over these brothers by their side. Training is necessary, but not everyone can persist. In Wang Mingyu's view, it's very normal for one or two people to not be able to keep up, after all they haven't received such high-intensity training before. So Wang Mingyu appeared very serious on the surface, but was actually secretly observing them.

  Wang Mingyu is most worried about two people, one is Li Xianyu and the other is Wu Peilin. The physical quality of these two people is the worst among several people. Lin Wen and Huang Boxiong are both martial artists and can almost certainly complete it. As for Wang Mingyu, there are a few numbers. The other two, Sun Dabao and Wang Mingchuan, were born as hunters and have a hard life, often walking in mountainous areas, so it's estimated that there won't be much difficulty for them either.

  The reality seems to have verified Wang Mingyu's idea. Lin Wen and Huang Bo Xiong started running together with everyone else, occasionally helping others along the way. After seeing the finish line, Lin Wen and Huang Bo Xiong began to sprint, their speeds not very fast but still decent. They almost ran shoulder-to-shoulder into the finish line, opening up a distance of 150 meters between themselves and Sun Dabao and Wang Mingchuan in just 500 meters. Meanwhile, Sun Dabao and Wang Mingchuan also opened up a distance of nearly 100 meters with Li Xianyu and Wu Peilin.

  However, a pleasant thing is that after Lin Wen and others arrived at the end point, they did not lie down to rest, but instead continued to encourage Li Xianyu and Wu Peilin.

  "Brother, come on, just a little further, you'll make it!"

  "Xianyu, Peilin, you are all great, keep it up!"

  "Brother, don't rush, hold steady, victory is just ahead"

  "Brother, we are the strongest, come on, we wait for you to rest together!"

  Upon hearing the encouraging voices of several people, Li Xianyu and Wu Peilin's eyes welled up with tears. Although their footsteps were heavy, they felt an overwhelming sense of emotion in their hearts. It seemed as if they had understood the meaning of camaraderie and the significance of being brothers-in-arms in that instant. With such a group of brothers supporting them, what more could they have to regret?

  Finally, with the encouragement of a few people, Li Xianyu and Wu Peilin crossed the finish line. The moment they reached the finish line, it was as if they suddenly lost their strength, and both of them fell into the arms of their teammates.

  Next, Wang Mingyu had them remove their equipment, drink some water, and then start massaging each other to relax a bit. After such high-intensity training, the lunch break was relatively generous, with about an hour and a half of time, but this included eating.

  "Brothers, you are all good men. To be honest, I didn't expect you to complete all the training items on the first morning, but you did it. I'm proud of you and feel honored. I believe you will become qualified special soldiers. But what makes me most happy today is not that everyone completed the training project, but the spirit you showed in the process - not giving up on any brother! I'm especially pleased to say that from now on, as long as it's my team, as long as it's the soldiers I lead, we will never give up on any comrade. This is a promise I make to you and to all future comrades!" Wang Mingyu said loudly, then gave a standard military salute, which was the best encouragement and highest honor for these brothers.

  Several people also stood up exhausted, put on their military caps, and returned a military salute to Wang Mingyu. The sunlight shining through the sweat beads on their faces made them look exceptionally dazzling.
