Chapter 314: Martial Arts Competition Begins
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Basic movements of individual tactics. The martial arts competition requires you to start in a prone position.”
10 meters of low crawling, 10 meters of high crawling, 15 meters of bending and jumping. When you reach the finish line, do you see the red button on the ground?”
“The last requirement is to hit the button to stop the timer!”
The equipment is much more advanced than the company’s, and the climbing tactic actually allows you to use your own watch.
Of course, this was also the most accurate method.
He looked at the electronic screen beside him. It was showing a situation where the four digits had returned to zero.
The third-term officer in front of everyone continued to speak with a straight face, “In addition, this event requires you to bring five kilograms of combat equipment.”
“During the competition, if any of the equipment drops, the timing will be increased by three seconds!”
After saying this, he looked at the thirty people in front of him and roared, “Did you hear that clearly?”
“Yes, I heard you clearly!” Wang Ye and the other 30 people replied.
It was actually not needed for him to brief them again as he had already talked about these things during the company’s training, and they had always been trained according to these requirements.
Equipment dropping was a mistake that non of the top soldiers in their respective companies should be making.
Usually, during training, they would carefully check if the equipment was secure in their bags ensuring it will not drop out, let alone in an official competition.
“Alright then, take off your bags. 1’11 give you three minutes to warm up. After three minutes, check your equipment and the competition will officially begin!”
Everyone was still carrying backpacks. Just because they did not need their equipments for this segment of the competition, does not mean it will not be needed in any future segments.
Looking at the team on the track.
Armed cross-country running for five kilometers wasn’t light equipment. Everyone was fully armed when they arrived.
“Hey, that recruit from our company keeps telling us that someone is very powerful. They say he took fifteen seconds for the tactical test. 1 wonder if he has improved after so long.”
The few artillery soldiers at the side, the first-class soldier who had previously called Wang Ye a recruit, spoke again.
He squinted at her and added with a smile, “Fifteen seconds is not enough today. This is not the recruit company!”
It wasn’t that this fellow didn’t know Wang Ye’s results, but because he knew, he had wanted to use his identity as a veteran to put on a show.
Although he had failed to act tough previously and even let Wang Ye go along with it for a while, he knew that he had advanced in rank.
However, that didn’t affect him from continuing to humouring Wang Ye.
In any case, they weren’t from the same company. He couldn’t care less that other people were saying how good he was, he did not want to act the same way as them.
Even now, he had the same mentality.
He didn’t like Wang Ye’s spoiled appearance.
He looked at the Fourth Company’s team. He was clearly a new recruit, but the veterans were all coaxing him. Even his words and actions did not look like a new recruit at all.
Thinking back to the days after he joined the company, he felt that he was very outstanding. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to represent his company to come here to compete.
But even so, he was still an honest recruit, and he had suffered no less.
What give Wang Ye the right to act the way he was acting now?
It didn’t matter if he was jealous or if he didn’t like him. In any case, he was deliberately targeting Wang Ye.
Of course, this kind of public targeting was nothing.
The two companies had made a bet, so it was normal for them to go against each other.
Before Wang Ye could speak, Du Yi Tong from the fourth company smiled and retorted, “You’ll know later whether he improved or not.”
“But don’t you guys from your company value experience?”
“How come your artillery company hasn’t even spoken up for the first or second segment, and you, a first-class private, have been jumping around?”
Du Yi Tong had once been jealous of Wang Ye before. But after hanging out with him for a few months, especially when he was in the teaching team, that bit of jealousy and injustice had long disappeared.
“What do you want me to say?”
“Actually, what he meant was also what 1 meant!”On the side of the Cannon Company, although the second-in-command secretly scolded this first-class soldier on his side for causing trouble for no reason.
Why did he say so much during the individual competition?
Wang Ye was definitely not a good person. If he said too much now, it might backfire later it it would seem like a slap to his face.
Couldn’t he had just hold it in until it’s time for the team event?
However, even though he was muttering in his heart, he still had to support his own people at such a time.
“Hehe, actually, I haven’t improved much. Please spare me some chances later once we start.”
Wang Ye raised his head to look at the other side and said with a smile while checking his equipment again and again.
At this moment, Wang Ye really remembered the first-class private opposite him.
He wasn’t a narrow-minded person since he always tried to find trouble to target him. Just wait and see.
“Commander in chief, you can see everything that is going on here. However, this is obviously nothing like the actual scene. If you are interested, you can actually go down and take a look.”
Right behind the high platform, there was a large military tent.
The martial arts competition was held in multiple events and venues with more than a thousand people. The commander and the others naturally would not sit on the stage and wait.
There were people carrying cameras in the entire arena. There were even small drones flying in the sky with cameras.
In the tent, several rows of screens were stacked together. At a glance, one could see the scene of any competition venue.
“Regiment Commander Hong, where is that Wang Ye from your team fighting now?”
The commander in chied ignored the officer behind him. After sweeping his eyes across the screens, he suddenly turned his head with a smile and asked the person behind him.
Commander Hong smiled, “It’s not on the screen yet, but he should be having a solo battle on screen number eight.””
Wang Ye indeed hadn’t appeared on screen yet, but the regiment commander saw the other members of the Fourth Company on the eighth screen.
Now, after the regiment commander and division commander finished speaking, someone immediately went to make arrangements.
In just a few seconds, Wang Ye’s side profile appeared on the eighth screen.
In the individual combat arena, Wang Ye saw a soldier with a camera facing him.
Wang Ye immediately turned his head and grinned at him.
He thought that this was just a video, but he didn’t know that it was actually a live broadcast.
Therefore, the scene of him grinning brightly made the commanders in the tent laugh.
“Young people are so energetic. When they smile, people can feel their vitality!” The commander said with a smile.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the few regiment commanders behind him.
Immediately, a regiment commander also said with a smile, “This Wang Ye is rumoured to be godly.”
“However, not to mention anything else, just in terms of his personal achievements, he was indeed amazing.”
“He haven’t even serve in the army for a year, but he already got third-class and second-class merit. I can’t help but envy him! Haha…”
Immediately, Commander Hong smiled and said,”Hehe, Wang Ye is indeed a very good seedling, but he still young.”
“He still had many flaws.”
“He had joined the army for a short period of time and still had a lot to learn!”
Although Regiment Commander Hong was answering another regiment commander’s question, his eyes were actually paying close attention to his commander in chief’s expression.
There was no other way. What was the equivalent of letting Wang Ye come to the division headquarters for a competition?
It was as if you had a beautiful daughter who had grown up and was about to take her to a beauty pageant, but now that she was here, you were afraid that your daughter’s beauty would be coveted by thieves.
Let’s not talk about the commander’s current mood.
In the arena, three minutes passed very quickly.
The third batch who had brought Wang Ye and the others here, as well as the first lieutenant who had been acting as the referee, came up to check everyone’s combat equipment.
A few minutes later, after checking that there were no problems.
The third-grade officer looked at the formation and shouted, “Number 211!”
“Here!”
An artillery soldier in the front row responded.
“Step out and prepare for the competition!”
“Yes, sir!”
There was only one tactical barbed wire fence on this side, but Wang Ye saw that there were now tactical barbed wires in all four 400-meter runways.
He didn’t know why the division headquarters arranged the competition venue like this, but it did not concern him.
The most important thing right now was to be prepared and get good results.
“Su En, cheer for me!”
There was a white line more than ten meters away from them with a few officers standing there.
There were some from the artillery company not to mention some from the heavy machine guns company too. Like the fourth company, they were all here, so naturally, all the officers leading them were here.
The artillery company commander roared.
The artillery soldier who was standing at the starting position took a deep breath and waved at his captain,”Captain, watch me!”
“Alright, cut the crap. Get ready to lie down!”
At this moment, the first lieutenant who was acting as the referee stood on one side of the barbed wire and spoke with a straight face.
He was holding a signal gun in his hand.
When he was ready, he aimed the signal gun in his right hand at the electronic screen.
“Ready!”
“Bang!”
The signal gun exploded, and almost at the same time, the timer on the electronic screen that had been reset to zero began to tick.
It was a signal gun with a signal transmitter.
The gunshot signal was sent out, and the timer began. It was absolutely a fair start.
At this moment, the artillery soldier lying in front of the barbed wire instantly crawled forward like a gecko.
“Good luck!
11
“Good luck”
A few soldiers from the artillery company shouted.
Wang Ye and the others naturally did not shout and just stood there watching.
One had to admit that the martial arts arena was a martial arts arena. It was completely different from the new recruit’s initial assessment.
In the past, the recruit assessment was slow, and twenty to thirty seconds were the average results.
But now, the artillery soldier was the first to crawl over. He pressed his hand on the red button.
Time froze.
16.13.
One could clearly see that the cannoneer’s expression was a little ugly after he stood up.
In fact, he wanted to ask for another round.
He didn’t manage to score within 16 seconds therefore he felt that he didn’t perform well.
Unfortunately, there was no second chance in today’s competition.
“Hehe, 1 thought you artillery were awesome.”
“Sixteen seconds!”
“Tsk tsk Someone mocked him on the spot.
“Hmph, I’ll see how much you have later!” Someone glared at him.
The third-grade officer who brought everyone here and the first lieutenant who was the referee turned a blind eye to all of this.
After the third-term officer and the officer who was in charge of recording the results had recorded the results, the third-term officer closed the folder in his hand and shouted again.
“Number 212!”
