As soon as he finished speaking, Ryoma quickened his pace to catch up with the 40th place.

The 40th person realized that someone was chasing him and ran quickly!

Ryoma is almost catching up to the 40th place!

The 40th place left Ryoma behind again.

Ryoma feels very tired!

Not stopping for a moment, Ryoma still never gives up or gives up.

The 40th person gradually became exhausted.

Ryoma held his breath and continued to catch up.

The top 39 players have already qualified for the second round.

Only the last two opponents are left in the field chasing the 40th place.

Soon, Ryoma was neck and neck with the 40th place, and both of them felt extremely tired.

Although the two of them were only 400 meters away from the finish line, Ryoma felt out of breath with every step he ran.

300 meters,

200 meters.

Ryoma and No. 40 are in a stalemate with each other.

The competition has reached its final moments.

Ten horses and horses are driven, and the merit lies in not giving up.

Whoever has the willpower to persevere to the end will be the winner.

Ryoma and the 40th meter were extremely tired and seemed to be on the verge of stopping.

Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his voice: "If you're a man, don't fucking stop. If you haven't run away yet, just keep running!"

Wang Daniu also shouted: "Come on! Come on!"

The recruits who reached the finish line first and those who were left behind also encouraged each other: "Come on! Come on!"

Hearing the shouts, the two of them seemed to be filled with energy again.

The pace of the two became fast again.

The two of them are getting closer and closer to the finish line.

100 metres

80 meters

…

10 m.

Just at this last shiver, Ryoma suddenly suppressed the energy to feed and rushed ten meters away in one breath.

In the blink of an eye, the original 40th place was left behind by Ryoma.

Ryoma finally got his wish and had the last laugh.

From being far ahead at the beginning, far behind in the middle, to not giving up or giving up at the end, this process is very exciting!

This process also deeply moved Liang Shanhao who was watching the game.

Liang Shanhao was optimistic about this soldier from the bottom of his heart.

With a little training, Long Ma will surely become Liang Shanhao's right-hand man in fighting Japanese invaders in the future.

Panting heavily, Ryoma's face burst into smiles of victory.

After punching Ryoma in the chest, Liang Shanhao praised: "Brother, it's okay! I just like your tenacity of never giving up or giving up!"

With a sudden stamp of his feet, Ryoma shouted: "Thank you for your seat!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "You can't sit down after strenuous exercise, stand up for me!"

Ryoma stood up hastily.

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Take a rest for 30 minutes and prepare for the second round of selection. I am optimistic about you."

With a confident look on his face, Longma nodded and said, "Yes!"

The first round of selection was over, and the 40 candidate monitors took a break and drank water on the school grounds.

Also chewing on compressed biscuits, Wang Daniu shouted in a deep voice: "Team members, how are you planning to select for the second round!"

After pondering for a moment, Liang Shanhao shouted: "These forty candidate squad leaders have passed my first round of selection, and their willpower is all right. The next step, of course, is to assess their ability in battle!"

Wang Daniu shouted in a low voice: "Tuan Zuo, how do you plan to conduct the assessment?"

Liang Shanhao groaned and shouted: "Prisoner of war test!"

His eyes lit up, and Wang Daniu shouted: "Tuanzuo, you plan to use these Japanese prisoners of war to test these candidate squad leaders!"

Liang Shanhao nodded: "That's right! My idea is to let these squad leaders fight one-on-one with the Japanese. Those who can defeat the Japanese will be qualified to be squad leaders!"

Wang Daniu shouted: "What a great idea! I'm going to prepare Japanese prisoners of war now!"

Liang Shanhao warned: "Pay attention, the weapons on all Japanese prisoners of war have been checked, don't kill or injure my people by any chance!"

Wang Daniu responded: "Yes! Tuanzu, don't worry!"

…

Bowing to Captain Yamada, Liu Pingchuan shouted: "Hello, Taijun!"

With a arrogant look, Captain Yamada shouted in a low voice: "Captain Liu, why haven't these people put on the combat uniforms of the Imperial Association Army?"

With a flattering smile on his face, Liu Pingchuan shouted: "Taijun, you don't know something. I tried to persuade them by eating and drinking, but they didn't listen to my advice to surrender!"

Staring at about a hundred prisoners of war, Captain Yamada shouted: "Nani? If you don't drink a toast, you will be fined! It seems I have to take action myself!"

Liu Pingchuan asked: "Taijun, what are you going to do?"

After pondering for a while, Captain Yamada shouted: "I want to make a bet with them, Commander Liu, tell them to pick 5 of these 100 people to play a basketball match with my soldiers. If you lose,

Just let them go, and if you win, you will have to join the Imperial Alliance Army and serve the empire!"

Captain Yamada was a physical education teacher before joining the army and especially liked playing basketball.

Captain Yamada decided to use basketball to conquer these Chinese prisoners of war.

With a slight bulge between his eyebrows, Liu Pingchuan shouted in a low voice: "Taijun, is this possible?"

Wrinkling his brows, Captain Yamada shouted: "No, you have to! Tell them quickly!"

Liu Pingchuan responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Bah bah bah, Liu Pingchuan told the prisoners of war about the basketball game.

Hearing this, all the prisoners of war started talking about it.

"Play basketball? I don't even know what basketball is!"

"Brothers, the little devil is setting a trap for us, we must not fall for it!"

"I don't think so, why not give it a try!"

"Who, who knows how to play basketball?"

"I, I beat you?"

"Before I joined the Sichuan Army, I was a physical education teacher and I saw basketball!"

…

With a smile on his face, Liu Pingchuan shouted in a deep voice: "How is it? What do you guys think about it? Do you want to bet on this basketball game?"

With a solemn look on his face, Yang Yiming shouted: "Do you mean what you say? The Japs are never unreasonable!"

Reaching out and patting his chest, Liu Pingchuan said deceptively: "Yamada Taijun is also half a scholar, he definitely means what he says!"

Nodding, Yang Yiming shouted: "Okay, I'll bet on this basketball game! But we have a condition?"

Frowning slightly, Liu Pingchuan shouted: "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Lei Lei shouted: "We haven't eaten for three days and three nights. Give us something to eat."

Liu Pingchuan smiled and said: "That's easy to say! I'll give you two hours to eat!"

Soon, the prisoners of war had enough to eat and drink.

Yang Yiming began to select team members.

Yang Yiming was a famous three-point shooter when he was studying in college.

Ten meters away, you can often just raise your hand.

After some selection, Yang Yiming selected four positions, but still lacked a center.

Basketball requires height, especially rebounding.

As the saying goes, he who gets rebounds wins the world.

Yang Yiming asked: "Big Yao, do you really not know how to play basketball?"

Big Yao shook his head.

Yang Yiming shouted: "Playing basketball is very simple. I don't need you to shoot. You just need to pick off the board and prevent the Japanese from shooting."

After thinking about it, Yao Yao shouted: "I don't know if it can be done!"

Patting Yao Yao on the shoulder, Yang Yiming shouted: "You are the tallest among us among a hundred people. The most important thing in basketball is rebounding. Whether we can gain freedom depends entirely on you!"

The honest big man Yao nodded: "Okay! I'll try my best!"

Before participating in the basketball game, Yang Yiming greeted the players and encouraged them.
