Chapter 96: Showing Off At The Division Hq Is The Real Thrill!!
Wu Liu Yi knew that this opportunity to break the record was specially meticulously planned by Chen Jun for him, and he absolutely could not let Chen Jun’s efforts go to waste.
So to ensure he could successfully break it, he also unleashed his primal power.
He charged ahead alone toward the finish line.
The recorder at the finish line checked his watch, and upon seeing the time, he couldn’t help but get excited, holding his breath in intense focus.
100 meters…
50 meters…
10 meters…
Whoosh—
Wu Liu Yi rushed across the finish line like a gale, and the recorder immediately pressed the stopwatch, freezing the display on the screen at 8 minutes 50 seconds
Seeing this unbelievable result, the recorder couldn’t control his emotions.
He eagerly picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the result to the referee stand. The referees were all shocked and hurriedly announced loudly into the microphone: “8 minutes 50 seconds 44, competitor number 19’s result is 8 minutes 50 seconds
Let us congratulate Second-class Non-commissioned officer Wu Liu Yi from Steel Seventh Company, who not only broke 702 Regiment’s regiment record, but also broke T Division’s record at the same time.”
Hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, the atmosphere at the scene exploded instantly.
“Broke the division record? Too awesome.”
“The top three in 3 kilometers are all from Steel Seventh Company, the other companies were left hundreds of meters behind, this is too exaggerated.”
“Shooting broke the division record, and now running breaks it too? Steel Seventh Company is really damn strong, if they keep competing like this, they won’t let the other companies live.”
“8 minutes 50 for 3 kilometers? Real pervert!!”
“Broke the division record, third-class merit for sure, so envious.”
…
Wu Liu Yi led by so much that breaking the division record left everyone convinced, even the competitors had to be thoroughly convinced.
The leaders on the grandstand were no longer calm, their emotions more intense and excited than one another.
Steel Seventh Company’s competitors were fiercer than one another, breaking records as if it were eating for them, which really surprised them too much.
“Hey, last year Steel Seventh Company came in last, but now it looks like this year they’ve had a big explosion, a complete explosion, haha.”
Regiment Commander Wang excitedly clapped his hands in excitement, already having no complaints about Steel Seventh Company’s performance.
In six company competitions, winning six individual first places, Steel Seventh Company shattered the other companies’ ideas of competing for first with this 3 kilometer sprint.
Even the Sixth Company Commander, who had absolute strength in 10 kilometers cross-country with load and had defended the title for many years in a row.
Seeing that Chen Jun was also a big guy but led the team to crush Ba Te Er, proving that Chen Jun was superior to Ba Te Er in both stamina and speed.
At this moment, he also began to lose confidence.
Under the terrifying pressure from Steel Seventh Company, the Sixth Company Commander’s self-doubt and lack of confidence was just one example; all the other company commanders were the same.
They were all stunned!
Their spirit, energy, and mind were all crushed!
They had no confidence in any of the remaining martial arts competition projects, unable to imagine anyone who could challenge Steel Seventh Company this great mountain.
From absolute confidence, to disbelief, to defiance, to giving their all, to the final wave, until completely giving up and abandoning the struggle.
This was the mental journey of all the companies!
Knowing they could no longer defeat Steel Seventh Company, each company commander had to find psychological comfort for themselves and establish a new competition goal.
Taking first was too hard, so they aimed to get as many seconds as possible.
Second is pretty good too!
You Steel Seventh Company take first, we’ll fourteen other companies fight for second—it sounded ridiculous, but it became the reality of this regiment competition.
With the end of the 3 kilometer sprint, the first day of the regiment competition officially came to a close.
Current battle record:
Steel Seventh Company swept 6 individual first places.
The other fourteen companies combined had
This was a terrifying result; even someone with the best mentality, upon seeing this huge gap here, would have to kneel and sing conquest.
Fortunately, on the first day of the competition, Steel Seventh Company delivered results shocking enough to the world.
The second day finally gave everyone a way to survive.
The remaining four military physical events—5km Light Load Cross-country Team, 10km Light Load Cross-country Team, 10 Kilometers Cross-country with Load Team, 400m Obstacle Course.
No suspense.
Steel Seventh Company continued with their terrifyingly strong momentum, sweeping the entire audience like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, taking all four individual first places.
The other companies really ended up just desperately fighting for second as imagined.
First was in another dimension, not belonging to them.
But what made everyone curious was that on the first day, Steel Seventh Company broke records as easily as drinking water, smashing a bunch of regiment records and division records.
On the second day, they didn’t break a single division record, only two regiment records.
The momentum wasn’t as fierce.
Were they tired from the competition? Had Steel Seventh Company’s group of perverts finally reached their limit?
Everyone couldn’t figure it out and could only guess this way.
Even Regiment Commander Wang thought so!
However, they were completely wrong in their direction—it wasn’t that Seventh Company’s people couldn’t hold on, but that victory was already certain, no need to try so desperately anymore.
Once it was confirmed they would definitely take the regiment first, Steel Seventh Company’s goal changed.
The division grand competition was the goal!
So after Chen Jun discussed it overnight with Gao Cheng and clarified the thinking completely, he agreed to Chen Jun’s plan to go easy appropriately.
Letting the core competitors save their strength as much as possible in the upcoming competition projects.
Just win, don’t be overly greedy.
They had already competed at high intensity in so many events before; if they still greedily chased record-breaking later, an accidental fatigue injury would be not worth the loss.
It was precisely because of Chen Jun’s long-term consideration, deliberately going easy a bit in the competition, that they didn’t break any more division records.
Even though in several of those projects, Chen Jun and Wu Liu Yi had enough strength to break division records, continuing the legend of this competition.
But making a fuss among their own people had no meaning; breaking more records wouldn’t help.
In simple terms.
To show off, they had to go to the division level to do it properly.
Everyone outside Steel Seventh Company, including the regiment commander and political commissar, didn’t know that Steel Seventh Company’s vision was so far-reaching and their considerations so thorough.
This also destined that when they reached the division level, it would absolutely shock the regiment commander and others.
After all military physical events were completed, the final comprehensive subject came next, and Steel Seventh Company performed very ordinarily in this subject three.
With only four months of competition special training time, Chen Jun couldn’t cover everything no matter how many abilities he had.
So he could only prioritize projects with greater weight and greater benefit for main training, tactically abandoning those with smaller benefits.
For example, shooting and military gymnastics—these two subjects had all projects within the same subject highly interconnected, one leading to all.
Practicing any one would also improve the strength in other projects.
So these two subjects became the main subjects.
While the comprehensive subject was relatively independent, with no connections between each subject.
For instance, in the armored vehicle mountain obstacle course project, no matter how much time you spent practicing it, it wouldn’t help the other three projects at all.
Weapon disassembly and assembly, battlefield first aid, grenade throwing—these three were the same.
In the limited special training time, if practicing one subject didn’t help the others, its value was extremely low.
Priority could only be ranked last, or even tactically abandoned.
In fact, Chen Jun had almost no arrangements for long-term training in these subjects; they were just treated as entertainment activities during breaks, practiced for relaxation.
So the other team members’ strength in these subjects was actually quite average.
Except for a very few with talent, Chen Jun would train them individually.
For example, Chen Jun himself had the ability in weapon disassembly and assembly and grenade throwing, so he took those two projects.
Also, there was a first class non-commissioned officer named Ye Jianfei, whose running and shooting were both average.
But he threw grenades extremely accurately, easily hitting helmets within thirty meters, and his throwing distance far exceeded average warriors—it was said he practiced as a naughty kid throwing stones at bird nests and beehives all over the mountains.
Chen Jun specifically helped him train the comprehensive subject, letting him participate in three comprehensive subject projects.
Because they hadn’t invested too much time in it, Steel Seventh Company’s comprehensive subject results were average, only taking one first place.
Chen Jun’s weapon disassembly and assembly.
Chen Jun also participated in grenade throwing, but to hide strength and promote warrior competitors, he deliberately went easy and only threw 65 meters, wanting to let Ye Jianfei take first.
Unexpectedly, Ba Te Er performed exceptionally, improving his result by 12 meters at once.
He threw 79 meters, surpassing Ye Jianfei’s 76 meters.
But this was already harmless.
Although they lost the three comprehensive projects, Steel Seventh Company had already taken first in eleven projects, a result no one could shake.
