Chapter 11 The Central Military Academy (I)

  This batch of recruits consists of 600 students from the Central Military Academy, who are divided into ten teams to undergo systematic military training.

  Sun Dabao, Li Xianyu and others were lucky enough to be assigned to a team, namely the First Cadet Battalion of the Central Military Academy of the National Revolutionary Army. The instructors were appointed by the original graduates of the Central Military Academy. The first battalion was commanded by Major Zheng Rong, who is currently the commander of a certain regiment in the Central Instructional Corps, and the political director was Major Tian Yugang, who is also a staff officer of the same regiment.

  The Central Military Academy auditorium on September 1st of the 22nd year of the Republic of China.

  General Zhang Zhizhong delivered a speech to the new students, teaching them to carry forward the spirit of Huangpu, be kind and sincere, unite and cooperate, defend the country and love the people, and not fear sacrifice. Then he went on to say some procedural things, such as don't disappoint the principal's expectations, etc., after which he let each instructor lead their own students to receive their uniforms.

  Wang Mingyu and others took back their allocated clothes and some training supplies, daily necessities after receiving them, and returned to their respective dormitories.

  The dormitory was shared by six people, and the allocation was free. Sun Dabao, Li Xianyu, Huang Boxiong, Wang Mingren, Wang Mingyu and another person named Wu Peilin lived in one room. Although the school management was relatively strict, there were still some humanized aspects to it.

  Wang Mingyu skillfully made his bed, put on the newly issued military uniform, and had just sat down for a few minutes when the assembly whistle started blowing. The other few people were not as calm as Wang Mingyu, no wonder, Wang Mingyu was a ten-year-old veteran, had developed a habit, so he was familiar with it. Those trainees originally came to join the army with passion, but they didn't receive systematic training, now it's really a bit difficult for them.

  Central Military Academy training ground.

  The first battalion commander, Zheng Rong, stood upright in front of sixty people, looking at the sloppy and disheveled recruits. He was furious and shouted: "Look at yourselves! You're not even dressed properly, you're so sloppy and casual. Is this what soldiers look like? Everyone, run ten laps around the training field! Start running!"

  "Ah......" Several students cried out in unison, still unclear about what was happening.

  "What? Ten laps are not enough?" Zheng Rong said with a cold smile. The trainees were all quickly adjusting their gear, preparing to start running.

  Wang Mingyu led Sun Dabao and several others to start running, and they completely followed Wang Mingyu. As soon as they heard Wang Mingyu's call, they immediately followed him to run. This is probably what they called a small group, and one of the important reasons why they wanted to learn special combat skills from Wang Mingyu. After Wang Mingyu and several others ran out for more than 100 meters, the students behind them finally tied their own windbreaker buttons, adjusted their clothes, and started running!

  Zheng Rong and Tian Yuge became interested in the few people who started running, and Zheng Rong thought to himself: "Following orders without asking questions is a basic quality that a soldier should have. These people can do it on their first day, which is really not easy! Especially the one who took the lead earlier, he has a hint of a military style, I wonder if he came from some unit?" Once someone becomes interested in another person, they will definitely pay close attention to that person. Wang Mingyu was "honored" to be targeted by the instructor.

  After running ten laps, everyone was exhausted and panting, Wang Mingyu and others were also overwhelmed. Although his body had started to exercise, the long-term decadent life had already ruined his body to a certain extent. Without half a year, it would definitely not recover to its previous level. Half a year later, it could only recover to about 70 or 80 percent. To fully recover, it would take a lot more time.

  "Attention, at ease! Right face, forward march!" Tian Yugang saluted and said: "Next, I'll introduce myself. My name is Tian Yugang, and I'm currently the director of the political department of your company. This is Zheng Rong, your senior officer, who also graduated from the sixth term of the Central Military Academy. For the next two years, we will be responsible for training all of you. Now, please let Instructor Zheng speak! At ease!"

  "Each of you cadets, you are the future talents of our party and country, officers of the army. But I can tell you responsibly now that is in the future. For now, you are not yet qualified soldiers, only through continuous training can you become a qualified soldier, a qualified military personnel, and later become a qualified officer. During your study period, your training will be my responsibility, and political studies will be led by Instructor Tian! I hope you will carry forward the spirit of Huangpu, unite sincerely, and serve the party and country in the future without disgracing our predecessors at Huangpu! Do you have confidence?" Zheng Rong's voice was almost hoarse as he shouted "Do you?!" The crowd responded with a cacophony of voices. "Look at what you look like, when answering questions, use the simplest and loudest way to respond to your superiors' questions. Are you all not hungry or something? Your voices are so soft! I'm asking again, do you have confidence?"

  "Yes!" This time it was neat and uniform, loud and clear. Zheng Rong and Tian Yuge looked at each other, a faint smile appearing on their lips.

  "Today we will do nothing else, but go to the dormitory to explain the dormitory hygiene and some daily precautions to everyone. We hope that in the future, everyone can meet our standards. If not, they will be severely punished!"

  Then a large team of all students followed Zheng Rong and Tian Yuke to set off and arrived at the student dormitory.

  When they walked into the first dormitory, Tian Yuangang and Zheng Rong frowned heavily. Even an ordinary family wouldn't be so messy, right? Although they had just gathered urgently, there was no need to make the dormitory look like a dog's den, so they went to check each dormitory one by one.

  When they arrived at Wang Mingyu's dormitory, his expression had changed from earlier. Zheng Rong walked into Wang Mingyu's dorm alone and looked at the tofu-like quilt on Wang Mingyu's bed, asking: "Whose is this?"

  "Reporting to the instructor, it's cadet Wang Mingyu!" Wang Mingyu took a step forward, stood at attention and saluted. "Oh? Is that you? Hehe, have you been a soldier before?" Zheng Rong smiled and asked, looking at the cadet who had led the run earlier. "Reporting to the instructor, I haven't been a soldier before!" Wang Mingyu replied, but thought to himself: "This life's Wang Mingyu indeed hasn't been a soldier before!"

  "Oh? Then I'm curious, who taught you this quilt?"

  "Reporting to the instructor, I had a friend who was a soldier before, and I learned from him! I think that if I were to become a soldier in the future, I would definitely need to learn it, so I took the initiative to learn from him ahead of time!"

  "Alright, everyone has seen it. From now on, our bed-making standard will be like Wang Mingyu's, and it cannot exceed five minutes! Next, I'll assign tasks. Wang Mingyu has already mastered this military skill, so next, Wang Mingyu will lead a team of 20 students to teach them. I and Instructor Tian will each lead 20 people as well! It's also considered that Wang Mingyu is sharing some of the workload with us. I hope more students can share the workload in the future!" Zheng Rong loudly said to the students: "I command, student Wang Mingyu to be the commander of the first battalion of the tenth period of the Central Military Academy! From now on, you will report directly to me. Next, take 20 people and go! Remember, I don't want to see a messy dormitory before dinner tonight!"

  "Yes, instructor!" Wang Mingyu saluted and then led the twenty people to their dormitory to teach them how to fold blankets, place daily necessities, each era is not very different, but also eight or nine out of ten.

  A dull afternoon passed quickly, Wang Mingyu tirelessly taught the students skills, and even combined some modern people's experience with practical explanations for them to listen. So the students taught by Wang Mingyu learned very fast, completing the task in less than 2 hours. With less than two hours until dinner time, Wang Mingyu didn't want to waste such a long time, so he called out Sun Dabao and others to go to the training ground to practice strength and physical fitness!

  After they finished a hundred push-ups and two hundred pull-ups, they were all exhausted. However, Wang Mingyu knew that after each intense training session, he had to relax. So he led the few people back to the dormitory while walking and stretching their arms on the way, exercising their legs, and letting their muscles relax.

  At the beginning, they can persist and they are close to success. Wang Mingyu thinks they are very good, as long as they persist, after a period of time, they can complete these within the prescribed time, and the quantity will continue to increase, eventually reaching an optimal physical state.
