Girls und War

After hearing what she said, the girls calmed down a lot.

Instead, Rush raised his head and said with confidence, "Xia Shu will definitely pass!"

Everyone looked sideways.

"You are quite confident." Xia Shu couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't know where this blind trust came from.

"Natsuki can definitely do it!" Rush repeated.

"Okay, okay, if you say you can do it, then it's okay." Xinyi was too lazy to argue with Rush.

In the eyes of this old corporal, the deputy commander assessment is ultimately the pinnacle of the non-commissioned officer assessment.

Even for Xia Shu, it is unlikely that he will pass the exam on the first try.

After all, in everyone's opinion, Xia Shu's strength is her sniping skills.

As for combat command.

With his military service experience, how much experience can he have?

Of course, other people don’t know much about Xia Shu’s past.

But putting this aside, even Xia Shu himself didn't dare to guarantee that he would pass the promotion assessment this time.

Ultimately, it still takes a bit of luck.

The girls chatted and laughed, quickly finished the massage, and returned to the dormitory.

The assessment for promotion from private first class to corporal will be held in two days, so it will not be very useful to train physical fitness at this time.

You can only look at the theoretical knowledge and practice the test questions.

After all, theoretical knowledge assessment is also a very important part of non-commissioned officer assessment.

There is no doubt about this.

271. Regarding the assessment of corporals

The assessment day for private first class to be promoted to corporal has finally arrived.

For different job assessments, you need to go to different examination halls.

Xia Shu and Jia went to the deputy commander examination room, Ai Ai followed the bartender to the medic examination room, and Zhan Jian went to the scout examination room.

As for Rush, the headquarters set up a separate examination room for her, and half of the subjects were tested in the imaginary battlefield.

Under such importance, whether she can pass the assessment depends on her personal luck.

But one thing is for sure, everyone chooses a different position, and the content of the assessment also varies greatly.

The assessment of the deputy battlefield commander even began a day in advance.

While the other girls were bored looking at the test questions, the two of them had already taken a big bus to the headquarters military city.

It was still the original assessment area, but this time they changed the assessment point.

There weren't many girls standing at the registration counter. Compared to the corporal exam, the number was much smaller, only about a hundred.

But if you think about it carefully, the corporal assessments for various positions are calculated separately in different examination halls.

I'm afraid the total number of privates applying for corporal assessment is not a small number.

Because overall, among the specific composition of soldiers, corporals have the largest number.

Next is private, then corporal.

Even in a frontline company like the Red Dragon Squadron, girls make up the vast majority of the rank of corporal.

In fact, the total number of front-line combat troops is less than one-tenth of the total number of troops.

In the entire standing army, the number of corporals exceeds half of the total.

Therefore, those who participate in the corporal assessment constitute the majority of the total number of assessments.

If the test sites were not separated, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the physical fitness test in one day.

Since the number of personnel for individual job assessments has decreased, the order of scheduling assessment subjects is naturally not as complicated as that for privates.

The subjects are arranged in order, from physical fitness to job duties, and each item is clearly presented to the candidates.

No more troublesome group drawing.

The person in charge of this assessment was a girl with an impatient look on her face.

She seemed quite annoyed that the headquarters arranged her to be the chief examiner.

Seeing that all the privates had assembled, she waved her hand and said, "Let's get started. No more wasting time."

The colonel beside him couldn't help but say, "Major General, it's not even dark yet."

"What time is it?" asked the major general.

"Six o'clock."

"It's almost enough. Why bother being so particular?"

Hearing the examiner say this, the colonel waved his hand, indicating that the examination should begin first.

There were not many invigilators on the scene, just a few.

They quickly changed into marching uniforms with the corporals for reference and then got fully armed.

The assessment for the deputy battlefield commander has one more major item than other positions.

That is a nighttime field march.

They had to arrive at the examination venue the day before, then go through a 30-kilometer field march before starting the full-subject assessment the next day.

This is why all non-commissioned officers regard the deputy commander assessment as one of the most difficult assessments to pass in all positions.

According to past data, the number of these one hundred corporals who can ultimately pass the assessment will probably not exceed double digits.

The girls put on the weight-bearing equipment, feeling a little lucky.

The examiner asked them to start the night march now, which was equivalent to starting the exam two hours earlier.

This means that when they return to the camp in the second half of the night, they can sleep for two more hours.

What do these two hours mean?

This means that the probability of a group of girls passing the assessment will increase by several percentage points.

The girls immediately showed gratitude to the examiner.

The examiner looked impatient.

It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to make things easier for any of them.

Rather, at the previous regular headquarters meeting, the theater commander specifically emphasized the shortage of deputy commanding sergeants in various military departments.

For this reason, her boss Qimingxing specifically told her to be more relaxed when invigilating the deputy commander position and allow for a few more vacancies.

How can she relax?

Each of these assessments will be recorded and uploaded to the world's military history book.

The only solution she could think of was to start the night march early.

But this is also risky.

What if someone reports this matter to the Generals' Council?

Even if you don't say what kind of punishment you really received, it will definitely affect your resume.

If they did this, and the passing rate of these corporals was still so low, they would have to accept their bad luck.

But what can be done?

Her boss asked her to do something, how could she not do it?

Seeing the group of girls running into the wild with their bags on their backs, the major general turned his head and looked at the colonel, the chief examiner, next to him.

"Tell them to keep their mouths shut, okay?"

The colonel blinked and said, "I see!"

Then the major general nodded with satisfaction and went back to the examiner's lounge.

Xia Shu and Jia walked in the team, their expressions were relatively relaxed.

Qingxian had reminded them before that the deputy commander assessment included a night march.

They had already made up for their sleep during the day and were now full of energy.

The invigilator next to them was wearing sportswear and humming a little tune as he walked beside them, as if he was exercising.

After they left the examination area, the invigilator suddenly turned around and said to them mysteriously, "The night march examination has been moved up. Are you aware of this?"

The girls nodded quickly.

"Don't say anything after you get out," the invigilator pointed at them and said, "If anyone asks, just say the exam starts at 8 o'clock. Otherwise, everyone will be warned, and you won't be able to take the exam again for a year."

The girls quickly indicated that they understood.

The invigilator nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone to speed up.

"Okay, let's run! Speed ​​up! Come back early and go to bed early!"

Encouraged by the invigilator, a group of girls immediately started jogging on the designated path.

The total distance of the night march was not long, only about 30 kilometers.

It only takes five or six hours of jogging to get there.

There is no time limit for this assessment, you just need to complete the whole process with records.

So it doesn't matter whether you are fast or slow.

This is a weight-bearing test designed to drain the energy and physical strength of the test takers.

After jogging for a while, the girls soon became out of breath.

The invigilator asked them to slow down and walk slowly at the right time.

Xia Shu didn't blush or breathe heavily, and even took the time to glance at the other girls.

She saw that Jia's breathing was very rapid, so she took two steps behind and helped her hold the package on her back.

This package weighs thirty kilograms. To be honest, it is really tiring to carry it while marching.

Jia smiled gratefully at Xia Shu and tried harder to straighten his back.

It was gradually getting dark.

Before the sun set, the invigilator asked them to run as long as possible.

After dark, visibility becomes much worse.

The marching speed at that time was not so fast.

272. The First Assessment for Corporals

There are two difficulties in marching in the wild at night.

One is at night and the other is in the wild.

Although the routes are well-defined, there are also comprehensive lighting equipment on the roads.

But the vision is indeed not as comprehensive and lasting as during the day.

It’s not that you might fall into a pit while walking on the road, but marching at night always puts some psychological pressure on people.

These pressures in turn affected physical functions, which in turn slowed down the reference personnel's marching speed.

Fortunately, they accelerated their progress during the day and finally covered a large part of the distance.

The journey, which was originally expected to take more than six hours, only took about five hours.
