Underwater breath holding training program is divided into shore and underwater practice.

Daily training is on the shore, and the students are consciously holding their breath and pulling hard animals.

Entering the pool is equivalent to entering the real battlefield background, allowing soldiers to feel the sudden changes and cruelty of the battlefield in advance.

Sometimes, in order to get closer to the battlefield background, students who choose to train at night will be fined 5 kilometers and carry a 10 kilogram to run with a weight on the opposite side of the pool.

The huge pool was surrounded by people, and even the officers sitting on the rostrum walked down. Mr. Don McClell was bowing his head and giving something to a cadet, and then the cadet turned around and left.

"Finally adjust your deep breathing! Then let your breath fill every cell in your body. You must control your mind in the water and feel the oxygen consumption brought by each heartbeat when you take a step. Find ways to reduce oxygen consumption!"

Second Lieutenant Jonas Hansen said to the two.

"start!"

During wartime, it is impossible to have time for students to adjust their breathing freely, so we need to practice lung capacity more in daily life, find the rules from water, find the power of water, and turn it into your own use.

"start!"

Second Ensign Jonas Hansen said.

The instructor responsible for placing the watch starts to time the two.

If several instructors who were taking the table were just doing routine during the first test, then they now became very interested in Zhou Zhihan and wanted to see what kind of strength this Chinese student would show in this test.

No matter what the remaining two tests are left, just because Zhou Zhihan finished the excellent score of 60 Poppies in two minutes, West Point Military Academy would not be able to persuade him to drop out of school.

Zhou Zhihan's move similar to a frog jump may become a training class at West Point Military Academy.

The two of them dived into the bottom of the water at the same time, each pulling a rope with an irregular hard object weighing 30 kilograms, and walking forward at the bottom of the water.

Damn, the bottom of the water is so cold! The whole body is in the water, Zhou Zhihan is shocked all over, and a urge to urinate...

The pond simulates the real water ecology, which is caused by fish and shrimps. After spring, the water temperature will warm and snakes will be placed in. There will be mud at the bottom of the water, tree roots and debris, and aquatic plants will grow in some places, which is very difficult to move.

The oxygen consumed by squatting quietly underwater is different from walking underwater, not to mention that when walking, you have to pull a 30 kilogram of hard object, which requires even higher requirements for students.

Without good willpower, physical strength and endurance, and a good sense of direction, it is difficult to pass this level.

Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and the enemy will not give you enough time to prepare. Many times, soldiers walk into the biting water in a very tired state, complete crossing the river, and launch a sudden attack on the enemy.

This is also why this test is ranked second.

There is another reason. The school organizers did not expect that Zhou Zhihan could successfully complete the first test and enter the second one.

Not long after, the mud and weeds at the bottom of the water were stirred up by the steps of the two of them. The water surface became turbid and the area gradually expanded. The people around the pool could only barely see two black shadows in the water moving forward. In the end, even the figures could not be seen.

In the turbid water, Zhou Zhihan could only close his eyes and drag the heavy object forward based on his feelings. This requirement for the sense of direction and the ability to judge the bottom of the water is very high.

The correct sense of direction can lead to straight lines without detours, and reduce the time to cross the river.

Having good judgment at the bottom of the water can ensure that the dragged hard objects will not be caught by the weeds from the tree roots. This requires soldiers to have good ability to avoid in advance and reduce the dragged hard objects and waste manpower and time because they are caught by the weeds and roots.

Zhou Zhihan and Sakamoto Ryunosuke were not far from the bottom of the water. When they walked at the bottom of the water, they made a rustling sound, which directly disrupted their hearing and could only move forward based on their respective intuitions and feelings.

While walking, I carefully avoided the branches and weeds. From time to time, big and small fish swam past me. It felt like I had met a water ghost. The mud in the water was gone without my calves, and it was difficult to walk. Although I held my breath, I could still feel the foul smell of silt.

Swimming across the river is mostly to avoid the inspection of the posts on the other side and complete the sneak attack. Therefore, if the soldiers of the sneak attack make a mistake in judgment and just show their heads to the water when the searchlight on the water surface is scattered back, the soldiers who cross the water will be killed in the water.

During wartime, before crossing the river, soldiers would find out how long it took for the other party's searchlight to go back and forth. When the searchlight swept over, the soldiers dived into the bottom of the water and counted silently and walked forward. After the searchlight was swept over, they would poke their heads out of the water and breathe heavily.

Zhou Zhihan felt that he could stay at the bottom of the water for two or three minutes without breathing. The cold bottom of the water allowed him to calm down quickly, and his heartbeat was reduced to fifty times per minute, greatly reducing the consumption of oxygen by the heartbeat. He closed his eyes and pulled the hard object forward with a sense of direction, while counting silently.

After 80 seconds, Ryunosuke Sakamoto's head was exposed to the water surface. He wiped away the sewage from his face with his hands, opened his mouth and breathed heavily, turned his head and looked at the sign beside the pool.

18 meters.

Applause and praise came from all around the pool.

This is a very good result.

Ryunosuke Sakamoto is a transfer student. He has just arrived for less than a day and is not familiar with the environment and training methods. It is really good to have such results.

All the first-year students present can do it, but after completing the first test, they immediately entered the bottom of the water to hold their breath and dragged 30 kilograms of weight, which increased exponentially.

After Sakamoto Ryunosuke confirmed that he had completed the task, he searched for Zhou Zhihan everywhere. Based on his achievements, he should be able to defeat this East Asian salted fish.

But there is no sign of salted fish everywhere in the water.

Find the shore.

There isn't on the shore either.

Sakamoto Ryunosuke was a little panicked. The salted fish had not surfaced until now, which means he was still moving forward.

The instructor saw that 95 seconds passed, but Zhou Zhihan still did not appear on the water, so he was a little worried.

After 105 seconds, Zhou Zhihan still did not surface, and the squad leader Steven Goode was also a little nervous.

Zhou Zhihan was sweating when he went into the water, so he would not experience sudden coldness and cramps on the bottom of the water, right?

In 116 seconds, Zhou Zhihan still did not surface, and everyone except Ryunosuke Sakamoto began to worry. This was abnormal. Not to mention entering the bottom of the water after the first round of tests, even if he did not go directly into the water without intense exercise, the results of walking in the water in these 2 minutes were considered excellent.

In 130 seconds, Lieutenant Jonas Hansen couldn't sit still. He unbuttoned his trousers, unbuttoned his shirt, and prepared to go into the water to catch people at any time. If Zhou Zhihan drowned, all the instructors present would not be able to escape, and he would be even more troublesome as Zhou Zhihan's instructor.

The students watching Zhou couldn't sit still. Although Zhou Zhihan had repeatedly dragged the class back before, everyone was still anxious and worried about him when it was a critical moment of life and death.

In 150 seconds, the water surface floated. At the 30-meter mark, a person's head emerged from the water. He wiped his face and let out a long breath of turbid air before he breathed greedily.

"Ding! The host defeated Japanese students for the third time and rewarded 400 air combat coins!" The voice of the system came from Zhou Zhihan's ears again.

“china…”

"China Week..."

A burst of cheers came from the edge of the pool, and the soldiers were so nervous that they couldn't feel relieved. Someone sincerely applauded Zhou Zhihan.

Some people are also jealous. How come he never trains but can achieve good results? This is unfair. Why is it him rather than me? Why...

By the pool, Major Jeff Hunter, the head of the West Point Training Department of the cadet who was specially invited by the cadet, whispered to a lieutenant wearing a Marine uniform beside him: "How about this cadet's achievements be included in the selection criteria for Marines this year?"

"If he had a single test, his score was of medium level, but his score in the joint test was of medium or upper level."

This officer is Lieutenant Becker, Lieutenant H, an officer of the Marine Corps at West Point. His mission here is to discover good seedlings in time, concentrate on training, and then join the Marine Corps and become a national elite.

This is like the 21st Century Entertainment, a star scout in the sports world, specializing in the discovery of potential newcomers.

"The United States needs such talents. Which class is the name of this student? Is he American?" asked Major Jeff Hunter.

Becker, Lieutenant H shrugged and spread his hands.

"Sir! He is from China, named Zhou Zhihan. He was originally studying at Randolph Air Force Academy. Because his physical fitness did not meet the requirements of the Air Force, he was arranged by Randolph Air Force Academy to practice physical fitness in Class 17 of Infantry Soldiers Class." An instructor said to Major Jeff Hunter, "This morning, you signed the document to withdraw from school and return home. He was unwilling to leave, so he asked for a physical fitness test."

Major Jeff Hunter stayed for a few seconds: "He is Zhou Zhihan, the Chinese student who has been here for three months and has not made any progress in physical fitness?"

Major Jeff Hunter only knew that Zhou Zhihan had made no progress in three months, and did not know how Zhou Zhihan was lazy in training. The instructors responsible for training students reported that Zhou Zhihan's grades were not qualified and met the conditions for persuading them to withdraw. Major Jeff Hunter and other department heads signed and approved.

Leaders of various departments of the military academy are in charge of the overall situation, instructors carry out details, and students obey training.

"Sir! Yes!"

The instructor said.

"When was the last time he was tested?" asked Major Jeff Hunter.

"Sir! It was a month ago, and his test results were terrible!"

"In just one month, his performance has improved so quickly?" Major Jeff Hunter thought for a few seconds and nodded, "Only by accumulation of quantity can he achieve a qualitative leap. It is possible that his training volume did not accumulate to the peak a month ago, and in the next month, the training volume reached the peak, so his physical fitness has undergone a qualitative leap."

"Sir!" the instructor said softly, "But for the last month, he has slept in every day and never participated in training?"

"f..." Major Jeff Hunter suddenly had the urge to swear.

At this moment, Shu Zhihan and Ryunosuke Sakamoto began testing their core strength.
Chapter completed!
