Following Wang Hong's instructions, Li He pulled out the wire from his coiling car and inserted it into his own coiling car. Then, he pulled some distance away and slowly shook the coiling car. Wang Hong held a rag tightly to clamp the coiled line. With Li He's help, the rag wiped away the dust on the coiled line.
Li He noticed that all the lines he received were black and clean.
"I didn't know that maintaining equipment was so easy.”
Li He originally thought that his military accomplishments were already very good. Counting the time spent in the recruit company, he had already lived in the army for half a year. He should have understood a lot of things. However, every time he thought that he understood everything, something would always happen. It told him that there were still many things he did not know and that there was still a long way to go in the future.
The process of reeling in the thread was simple and boring. Li He bent over and sat on the small stool. As he was reeling in the thread, he asked,"Squad Leader Wang, after all the wires are cleaned up, how do you oil the car?”
" Hey, it's so easy to apply oil to the winding car. If you want to shake the wire quickly when you reel it in, besides having strength in your arms, you also need to move the gears of the winding car."
Wang Hong wiped the thread and said," When you shake the handle, it will drive the gears inside to rotate. During maintenance, you just need to wipe the inside with a sponge and apply grease to it. This will prevent rust and reduce friction. It will be easy for you to shake it.”
"If you don't maintain it properly, the friction inside will become greater. When you reel in the wire, you will have to spend more effort to affect your efficiency. If the rust is too strong, then no matter how much effort you put in, you won't be able to shake it.”
"I see."
After listening to Wang Hong's explanation, Li He finally understood that this was the case.
It was not only the soldiers who placed great importance on the maintenance of their equipment. Other than their own strength, the maintenance of their equipment was also important for all other troops.
Although Yuan Lang had shot perfectly with an untested gun in the TV series, Li He believed that if he was given a gun that couldn't even pull the trigger, he might not be able to shoot well.
If one wanted to become a capable soldier, they had to pay attention to their own professional abilities and equipment.
There were dozens of kilometers of lines that needed to be sorted out. Other than the ten kilometers that were usually used in training, the other unused lines had to be re-maintained to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Only by making sufficient preparations in the early stages could one unleash 100% of their strength in practice or actual combat.
This was what Wang Hong taught Li He today.
It was already afternoon when the group of people finished repairing and tidying up all the equipment. They only returned to the dormitory after moving all the equipment back to the warehouse in an orderly manner.
Lying on the familiar bed, Li He couldn't help but sigh."As expected, the dormitory is still more comfortable!"
He didn't feel much before, but after participating in the field training, he realized how comfortable and wonderful the dormitory was. It was simply heaven!
"Squad Leader Wang, what am I going to do later?”
"You're not talking nonsense! Rest!"
Wang Hong was pouring water. When he heard Li He's words, he rolled his eyes.
"Don't you need to train?"
"I already said that I'm resting. This is for you to rest well. You want to train?"
"I don't want to. Are you lying to me?”
"Who would lie? We're not robots. Do you think we can train every day? Haven't you been lectured enough during your time in the wild? During this month of rest, other than the physical training at four o'clock in the afternoon every day, you can do whatever you want.”
"If you can't sit still, I'll go find the class monitor to arrange training for you.”
"No, no, no. I just can't imagine that I can rest for a month.”
"It's great that we have a month off!”
Li He immediately covered himself with the blanket and prepared to sleep. Since the first day he joined the army, he had not stopped. Now that he could finally relax, he could not waste this good time.
Of course, he also knew that all of this was just to prepare for the drill at the end of the year, to conserve his strength.
……
After a few days of adapting, Li He gradually got used to the current pace of life.
When Li He had just arrived at the Lower Company, he would usually train in the morning for the 500-meter retracting line. After four o'clock in the afternoon, he would practice moving the line. From four o'clock until dinner, he would do physical training, which was running, pulling the horizontal bar, doing sit-ups, push-ups, and so on. It was a group activity, and the intensity of the training was not as high as some special training.
After that, he went to the field for training. His daily schedule did not change much, but the intensity of the training had increased by at least three times. In addition, there was an additional night patrol in the second half of the training period, so the amount of training increased exponentially.
Li He was not used to the sudden change in the beginning.
Every morning, after waking up at a normal time and eating, there was no training task. He just had to do what he wanted to do.
After gathering in the afternoon, they brought their equipment and went to the training ground, but there was nothing much to do.
Everyone in the communications team had a small stool and a novel in their hands. They found a shady place to sit for the entire afternoon.
The rest of the Artillery Battalion was busy training, while the people from the Communication Unit were sitting in three rows in the shade. Each of them was reading a novel with great interest.
At first, Li He also went to the library to borrow a novel, but he didn't bring it to the training ground. It was only later that he realized that if he didn't read a novel, he really had nothing to do and was very bored. In addition, smoking was not allowed on the training ground. If he didn't read a novel, he had nothing to do. He could only sit and stare blankly.
There were no fantasy novels in the army library. All the novels were related to soldiers. If one read them in depth, they would find them quite interesting.
Li He picked out a novel about transmigration and read it enthusiastically. If he hadn't transmigrated, he wouldn't have believed that he had transmigrated to become a soldier.
After watching it for a long time, it seemed to be true. The life in the army and the hierarchy were very perfect, making people feel very immersive.
This kind of day without training tasks made Li He feel suffocated. After a few days, he still couldn't adapt. At first, if he didn't run more than ten kilometers a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over. He couldn't sleep at night, and he even secretly went to train. Because of this, he was often ridiculed by the others in the class, saying that he was a masochist.
Later on, he also understood that it was not a good thing to continue like this. Only a balance between work and rest was the way to go. Therefore, he forced himself to rest and read novels to relax his body and mind in addition to doing appropriate training in the afternoon to adapt to the current pace of life.
"Brother Li."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Ming sat behind Li He and patted his back.
