On Monday morning, with a drizzling rain falling over the playground, the turnout was sparse due to the preliminary round. However, I noticed that Gao Ge and Old Bi had arrived; their matches were scheduled for the afternoon, so they were likely here for observation.
Wu Yan arrived a bit late. By then, we had already completed our warm-up exercises. After saluting the Deputy Chief of Staff to report our entry, he led his team to stand in formation beside us.
The Supervisor began counting personnel and checking each soldier's identification.
I glanced sideways at Wu Yan, who happened to look over as well, his gaze filled with disdain and mockery. I chose to ignore it and quietly asked him, "Wu Yan, Squad Leader, how about a decisive match?"
Wu Yan paused in surprise, seemingly taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Three matches would take too much time and effort. I assume you, Squad Leader Wu Yan, would prefer to conserve your energy for the High Song Squad?"
Wu Yan's eyes lit up, clearly intrigued by my suggestion.
Seeing that I had piqued his interest, I pressed on. "Armed Cross-Country and Armed Swimming are the most exhausting events. They require intense effort and have rigid standards; as long as the entire squad achieves 'All Excellent,' we still have to compete in the obstacle course, which has many variables. It would be better to save time and settle it with one round of the Obstacle Course. In the afternoon's competition, they will undoubtedly fight fiercely; regardless of who wins or loses, we will save a lot of time and energy for tomorrow's battle. What do you think?"
Wu Yan fell silent for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter. "Wang Squad Leader, I see what you're doing! You want to control the variables! Local University Students are always so clever! Alright, thank you for your suggestion; I accept. Let's settle this with one match first. I'll take you down today and then deal with Gao Ge tomorrow. You Local University Students are ultimately no match for us!"
I felt a surge of relief; initially anxious that Wu Yan might reject my proposal and force me into a direct confrontation with him, his agreement brought me immense joy. However, I feigned hesitation and said, "But we need to report this to the Deputy Chief of Staff."
"Of course," Wu Yan replied dismissively.
"Report!" I called out immediately. The Deputy Chief of Staff had been conversing with evaluators but turned to look at me when I spoke up. Taking a step forward, I presented my proposal to him. Before he could respond, Wu Yan stepped forward as well and declared loudly, "I am willing to settle this with Wang Squad Leader in one match!"
The Deputy Chief of Staff remained silent for a moment until a staff officer rushed in from the entrance of the playground and stood at attention to report, "Commander has orders to convey!" He then approached the Deputy Chief of Staff and whispered a few words. I noticed the Deputy Chief of Staff furrow his brow in hesitation. After a while, he finally spoke softly, "The Commander instructs that due to weather conditions, we will decide on the competition events and procedures based on circumstances. For safety and time efficiency, we will proceed with one round of the Obstacle Course as agreed by both parties. Participants prepare!"
It was exactly what I wanted! Without having time to ponder why the Commander issued this order at such a moment, I felt an overwhelming joy; my chances of success had increased significantly!
Wu Yan's team matched ours in numbers perfectly; there was no need to reduce participants. We drew lots to determine who would go first—Wu Yan's team was up first. As I led my soldiers through some warm-up movements on the side, I reminded everyone of their passing order while keeping an eye on Wu Yan's team's actions.
To my surprise, Wu Yan's platoon did not rush to the obstacle course in a swarm like last time, but lined up behind the starting line at the entrance of an obstacle course. The entire platoon is divided into two teams, the left and right. The two teams are staggered, and Wu Yan is the front one on the left. I was a little surprised, this thing is definitely not as simple as it seems! He is a little bit stupid, but at present, he is definitely not a brainless person. Looking at this formation, Wu Yan has also deployed the personnel. Because if I guessed correctly, this arrangement should not be simply left strong and right weak, it should be that Wu Yan with the strongest strength is ranked first on the left team, the second strongest is ranked first on the right team, and Three Rows The second on the left team, the fourth on the right team, and so on... Well, that must be the case! Only in this case, everyone in front is stronger than behind, which can ensure that it will not get stuck and affect the overall progress, and at the same time, it can also pull back to help weaker comrades. This combination arrangement is really very stable, minimizing accidents and risks to the extreme. I laughed silently, it was really interesting, Wu Yan this guy can also give people false impressions, it seems that everyone should not be underestimated. I looked at Gao Ge standing opposite. He seemed to be thinking about the same thing. As for Old Bi, he always looked nonchalant. The whistle is blowing! The game timing also started at the same time. I also pressed the timer on my electronic watch. Sure enough, it was Wu Yan who took the lead and rushed out, followed closely by the first warrior on the right, and then the second warrior on the left. Warriors, the distance between each person is between one meter and two meters. Obviously they have also practiced repeatedly. This distance will not be affected by the actions of the people in front of them, but also leaves sufficient buffer for themselves and the people behind them. space. The entire team stretched out along each obstacle like a spring. All the warriors were in motion. Some warriors moved a little slower. The warriors in front or behind immediately came to help. The movements were smooth and no one was stuck in place. Or it slowly affects the overall progress. I heard Deputy Chief of Staff beside Venue couldn't help but praise "Okay!" When the last warrior ran to the first obstacle, Wu Yan I had already jumped down and started the last sprint on the sand. I looked down at the time. It was minutes and 41 seconds. Wu Yan is really awesome. (It wasn’t until many years later that I learned that the highest record in the entire army was minutes and 15 seconds. Wu Yan At that time, this score was considered very good.) I smiled. It’s a pity that this project is a test of teamwork. No matter how good an individual soldier is, None of them work. After all Wu Yan teams completed the project, the timekeeper at Venue shouted loudly, "Everyone is over, time 7 minutes and 01 seconds!" The Fourth Company watching the game started to applaud and cheer, yes, this The results are really good, because the outstanding time for an individual soldier is 50 minutes and 50 seconds. Dozens of people lined up to pass, and it was a little over 7 minutes, which is really good. I clapped my hands politely and it was our turn. I turned around, looked at my team and shouted, "A Row is all there!" "Arrived!" I was answered by a roar. I nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone has heard that their score is a little over 7 points. Do you have the confidence to exceed it?!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Show them the level you reached during training! Let them see what it means to be strong! What it takes to be a king!"
"Wang Pai! Wang Pai! Ace!" The crowd was fired up, even the Deputy Chief of Staff and others from the Unit observing us turned their attention our way.
I raised my right fist!
The noise abruptly ceased.
"Form up for entry!" At that moment, as we marched in, I felt like an ancient warrior stepping onto the battlefield, blood surging with excitement. After years of honing my skills, this moment was when the sword would finally be drawn, ready to strike down the enemy!
I glanced back at my spirited team, their fighting spirit gradually rising. It felt as if I was leading an unstoppable Wolf Pack. This feeling was exhilarating; I knew we had reached a peak both mentally and physically.
We lined up in a single file, maintaining a distance of one meter between each person, with the starting line stretching over thirty meters behind us. Unlike others, I was not at the front. After signaling that the team was ready, I quickly blended into the ranks because I understood my own speed. Our goal was to maximize our collective passing speed, so everyone had their designated position.
The whistle suddenly blew!
Everyone surged forward together!
Yes, you read that right—everyone charged out at once! The difference was that we were tightly packed together, less than a meter apart, moving in perfect sync. It looked as if we were one cohesive unit in motion!
I recalled a news story about why cars in Japan have the highest passing rate when traffic lights change from red to green. The reason? Each vehicle maintains sufficient space between them. When the light turns green, all cars accelerate simultaneously and pass through more efficiently than in many countries where cars are bunched closely together.
So I adopted this strategy; it was similar to the principle of synchronized movement among three people. However, we were a whole squadron. In theory, it sounded simple, but in practice, it was incredibly challenging because each person's pace varied and their time to navigate obstacles differed. I had experimented many times and adjusted various sequences before achieving this level of coordination.
I abandoned the idea of having the fastest individual lead and opted for collective movement instead. So when everyone witnessed our tightly-knit group advancing together, they were left astonished.
This is Team Coordination and collaboration! My position is neither forward nor backward. It is my task to cling to the person in front of me and not to be stuck. Time seems to have stopped. No matter how fast I climb, it always feels extremely long. When I run past the last step When I turned to the sandy ground at the starting point, I rolled my eyes to the side. All my soldiers followed. The last soldier at the end of the team and the one with the worst performance was already on the fourth obstacle from the bottom. I knew, We won! When the last warrior crossed the finish line, the timekeeper shouted, "Everyone passed, time 6 minutes and 0 seconds!" Almost a minute faster! The whole Venue was silent, as if they couldn't believe this result! Suddenly, our Unit burst into cheers, "Wang Pai! Ace! Wang Pai! Ace!" It started with our company shouting, and soon all the officers and soldiers of the Observation were shouting , amidst the cheers, I saw Wu Yan standing on the side, his mouth wide open, as if he couldn't believe this was true. Deputy Chief of Staff came over and smiled, "Okay, your platoon won, and you also set a team record!" I didn't know what to say, so I saluted excitedly! I turned around and saw Company Commander and Instructor smiling from ear to ear. It goes without saying that the soldiers were happy. They had a holiday in the afternoon and everyone was free to move around. I took a few squad leaders to the duel between ObservationOld Bi and Gao Ge. Perhaps inspired by me, to my surprise, Gao Ge and Old Bi actually adopted my strategy at the same time, winning or losing in one round. But what surprises me even more is that both of them chose Armed Cross-Country Five Kilometers. I’m not surprised that Honest Gao Ge chose this one. After all, I’ve seen their performance. It's a tough one, and you can't take advantage of it. Even if you watch the whole thing, you can't copy it. So the choice of Old Bi is indeed beyond my expectation. I heard that the overall score of Company Commander Special Operations Unit Armed Cross-Country is average. Could it be that Old Bi’s Reconnaissance PlatoonIs the average strength very strong? I regret not going to see their Unit run Five Kilometers last time, but no matter what, Old Bi is not a fool and must have his own ideas. Deputy Chief of Staff agreed more simply than in the morning, but I always felt that he was looking at Gao Ge intentionally or unintentionally, with a mysterious smile on his face. Does Gao Ge have a sure way to win? I decided to follow behind and watch the whole race. Unexpectedly, I was surprised by the race process.
