Chapter 58: Doing a Horse Stance
Gu Qingjiu heard what Yu Bao’er’s had to say. In a low voice, she responded, “We’ll decide once the weekend comes up. I actually wanted to ask you that too, but didn’t the instructor say he wanted to meet your parents? When will your parents come to school?”
Hearing this, Yu Bao’er’s expression turned glum.
Chen Haoyang came over at that moment. Yu Bao’er immediately kept quiet and turned around as if she had said nothing to Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu chuckled in her heart and at the same time, practiced according to Chen Haoyang’s instructions.
At present, the new recruits’ training was mainly divided into several types.
Fighting, physical fitness, image, appearance, and politics.
Target shooting was once included in the training module, but since the country had strictly controlled its firearms, it was canceled for the new recruits under a basic training program. It was mostly because these soldiers would not be sent off to the battlefield or defend the border.
Unless you applied for it yourself.
And like what Yu Bao’er said, one could carry firearms unless they would enter the advanced training camp.
This also included the armed police force which was not selected from the training camp. There were other channels to join the military, and Gu Qingjiu’s camp belonged to the most common one.
Last week, they had a week’s formation drill—this included doing goose steps, turning left and right, and marching on the spot.
Doing the same training repeatedly was really tiring.
However, this type of training is what the military paid attention to the most.
The first move Gu Qingjiu and the others learned was throwing a punch.
Chen Haoyang asked them to stand upright and then punch their fists forward into the air. He instructed them to punch the same spot and angle to make it accurate and look explosive.
They had just entered the camp, so only a few of them could do it. Within ten minutes, many of them felt that their hands were not their own anymore.
They were aching and numb like there was a huge stone hanging on their arms pulling them down. They could not even lift them up.
But if the instructor did not call for them to stop, they could not stop.
Gu Qingjiu was the same.
She was physically weaker than the others. She knew now that there would be no aftereffects, but it would render her tired.
She got tired faster than anyone else.
Gu Qingjiu felt that her physical strength was at its limit as she repeatedly threw out punches. Her arm was aching so much that it did not feel like it was hers.
It was just arm movements, but Gu Qingjiu felt that her legs were shaking as well. It was as if she would fall to the ground at any moment.
Her ears were ringing and she was dizzy.
This was the difficult part when one undergoes training.
No one could take such heavy training all of a sudden, and this was just the basic.
“Stop!”
Gu Qingjiu felt as if she had come back to life when she heard that word. But before she could recover, she heard Chen Haoyang say, “Do 20 minutes of horse stance. 10 minutes will be added to whoever sits on the ground.”
Although a week was enough to get used to this kind of high-intensity and intensive training, many recruits still fainted.
When the real physical training started, they felt like practicing goose steps was bliss in comparison.
In the cold winter month, beads of sweat appeared on Gu Qingjiu’s head. She already couldn’t feel her legs that were bent.
Yu Bao’er, who was next to her, suffered the same pain.
But no one complained because complaining was of no use in the camp.
A little while later, there were people who were unable to hold it out. Their legs turned weak and they fell on the ground with a thump.
Chen Haoyang had no sympathy at all and looked over with cold eyes. “You, add another ten minutes. Stand up and continue!”
