Thirty-nine new beginnings

  A shrill whistle pierced the air, and the soldiers who had been selected to participate in the final selection for the special forces all jumped up from the grass at once, picked up their own backpacks, and gathered on the roadside to form a line.

  The whistler was a special forces soldier wearing jungle camouflage, his uniform forming a stark contrast to those of the Marines.

  A van without a license plate came over, at first glance it was thought to be an express delivery logistics vehicle.

  A military jeep overtook the truck.

  The leopard sitting in the jeep had already removed the collar badge and sleeve badge from his military uniform, and the hat badge on his hat was also gone.

  The bright red flower on his chest was stunning, but Lei Bao wasn't happy.

  The leopard gazed greedily at everything outside the car window, as if wanting to imprint everything here into his eyes and engrave it on his heart in these last few minutes.

  Suddenly, Leopards eyes lit up and involuntarily leaned against the car window.

  Leopard saw Ye Ren, Huang Junji, Shi Nanfeng, Ren Liang, Li Jiaye, Zhang Guanlin and Ge Shengjie on the other side of the team.

  "Monitor!" Ren Liang also saw the leopard on the car.

  Several people's eyes were drawn over there.

  The new recruits all saw Lei Bao's military uniform with the insignia removed and a big red flower on his chest.

  Although he has been a soldier for more than half a year, several people still know what this means.

  "Monitor!" shouted Shi Nanfeng.

  Shi Nanfeng shouted this, and the attention of the entire team shifted to that jeep. Even the special soldier at the front of the team turned his head to look.

  "Monitor, shall we stop?" The driver asked, turning his head around.

  "Speed up!"

  The tone of Lei Bao was filled with patience.

  The driver didn't ask much. As an old driver on the trip, he had experienced many things and knew that at this time, most of the old soldiers were unwilling to stay.

  For veterans, for those who cherish their loved ones, separation may be difficult, but it is better than regret.

  If they stayed a little longer, the old soldiers were afraid they would never make up their minds to leave again.

  A good man should join the army.

  Veterans all say: After becoming a soldier, you'll regret it for two years; if you don't become a soldier, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

  For those who love the army more than anything else, it may be difficult to retire, but if they hadn't chosen to join the army in the first place, the taste of regret would have been even more unbearable.

  Even if we can't be together forever, at least we once had the most beautiful memories.

  The Jeep accelerates and drives away.

  The old soldier of the special forces also understood what was going on, while Shi Nanfeng and his team were about to go up and chase after the car.

  "Halt! Attention!"

  Special Forces: One word of command!

  Everyone immediately stood up again.

  "Half left turn!" the special soldier shouted.

  Everyone turn left half face.

  "Bow!"

  "Bang!"

  Everyone raised their hands in salute.

  The special forces also turned around, raised their hands in a salute towards the jeep and gave a thumbs up.

  "Monitor! Look!" The driver slowed down and said to Lei Bao.

  Leopard, who had been leaning against the back of his seat and had made up his mind not to look again, not to let his heart struggle anymore, suddenly sat up straight, sticking tightly to the window and looking back with all his might.

  He saw the soldiers standing at attention and saluting him.

  The jeep drove up to the gate and stopped in front of the towering statue at the entrance.

  Leopard opened the car door and got out with the help of a cane.

  His feet were still in stirrups.

  Leopard walked up to the statue with a cane, standing in front of the densely packed names on the base, and couldn't help but think of what he had said to the new recruits half a year ago.

  "This monument was forged with the blood and lives of all the commanders since the establishment of our Dagger Hero Brigade, it is the highest honor symbol of our brigade. In times of war, we were brave and strong, killing enemies on the battlefield; in times of peace, we fought bloody battles to serve the people. What is a dagger? Who can tell me?"

  "The bayonet is what we thrust into the enemy's heart, killing the enemy! Killing the enemy! The enemy's weapon! If the motherland needs it, let my blade be stained with fresh blood! The enemy's blood!"

  Leopard solemnly raised his right hand to the brim of his hat.

  ……

  The special forces didn't give the order to end the ceremony until the jeep was out of sight in the distance.

  The truck also drove in front of the new recruits.

  Luoxingyi and Wang Weilong jumped down from the car in casual wear.

  "All aboard!"

  Wang Weilong walked to the front of the team and said loudly.

  Luo Xingyi had opened the trunk of the car.

  The soldiers picked up their backpacks which had been placed aside and prepared to board the vehicle.

  "Put down all your backpacks!" Wang Weidong immediately stopped these soldiers.

  The soldiers had no choice but to put down their backpacks which were already on their shoulders.

  "Throw away everything that doesn't belong to the army!"

  The soldiers opened their backpacks and started taking things out, putting all personal items that were not issued by the army on the grass.

  "These things will be taken care of by others now, so pack up your backpacks and get on the vehicle!" Wang Weilong said after seeing the soldiers put away their belongings.

  The soldiers shouldered their packs and climbed aboard the truck.

  The special forces soldier in camouflage also entered the carriage.

  Luoxingyi closed the trunk from outside.

  There were lights in the carriage, so the new recruits wouldn't be left fumbling in the dark.

  The car drove out of the camp, and the new recruits had no idea where they were going.

  The car drove all the way to the airport and directly onto the apron through the cargo channel.

  Luo Xingyi drove the car in reverse until it reached the side of an airliner.

  Wang Weilong got off the car and opened the cargo box door. What appeared in front of the soldiers was a conveyor belt.

  "Move along the conveyor belt into the cargo hold, hurry up!"

  The soldiers went directly into the cargo hold of the airliner from the conveyor belt.

  Seats and seatbelts had already been prepared for the new recruits in the cargo hold.

  Wang Weilong and those special soldiers led the soldiers into the cargo hold.

  "Put your backpacks here!" Wang Weilong pointed to an aviation luggage case that had been secured to the floor with safety buckles.

  The soldiers threw their backpacks in.

  "Find a seat, fasten your seatbelt, and take off in half an hour!" Wang Weilong and the special soldiers brought over the luggage net to secure it, waiting for all the soldiers to put their backpacks inside before closing the luggage compartment to prevent them from being tossed out during turbulence.

  The soldiers each found a place to sit down.

  Ge Shengjie arrived a bit late, so after putting away his backpack, there was only one seat left next to Ye Ren and the others.

  Ge Xianjie was slightly hesitant.

  "Come and sit down!" Ye Ren said to Ge Shengjie, giving him a way out.

  "Hmm." Ge Xianjie sat down beside Ye Ren.

  Ge Xianjie sat down and still felt a bit awkward, so she decided to greet a few people.

  But when he turned his head to look over, Shi Nanfeng and the others didn't even glance at him, instead looking either at the ceiling, or the floor, or closing their eyes to meditate.

  Shi Nanfeng swallowed back the words that had reached his lips and sat in his own seat without speaking again.

  After the soldiers were seated, the plane began its normal cargo loading operation.

  After the luggage was loaded, the plane taxied to the jetway of the terminal building and began to normally arrange passengers to board the plane, as if everything was normal.

  The plane took off and flew towards Nanjiang.

  Nanjiang City, where Ye Ren and others originally came from to join the army, has now returned here.

  But this time the soldiers didn't have time to stroll around the streets, and they didn't even have time to leave the airport.

  The plane had unloaded all the passengers and luggage, and stopped on the apron before the soldiers were directed to board a van that was similar to the previous one.

  The truck drove the soldiers directly into the barracks of the "Shadow" Battalion.

  The truck threw everyone off at the training ground behind the mountain in the camp.

  This training ground is usually not used much, mainly for selecting new recruits.

  Several large tents were pitched on the edge of the training ground.

  "You live in the first tent."

  Wang Weilong pointed at the first tent and said.

  The soldiers walked in with their own sacks and began to sort out their belongings.

  What a group of people did not expect was that there wasn't even a sleeping pad in the tent, and they were directly setting up folding cots on the grass, not even metal frame beds.

  There are also lockers in the tent for soldiers to store their belongings.

  "The first day, nothing is arranged, personal collection, dinner at five o'clock!" Wang Wei Long said as he walked into the tent.

  The reason for no arrangement is because other selected soldiers from elsewhere have not arrived yet.

  "Also! Apart from this training ground, no one can wander around without my leadership!" Wang Weidong had already left the tent, but suddenly turned back, "Especially the warehouse on the east side, if you don't want to die."

  Wang Weilong's last sentence really has weight.

  In the barracks of special forces, a brick thrown out may hit some military secrets. If mistaken for a spy by the guard, it is very likely to be greeted with bullets directly.

  As for the warehouse that Wang Weilong mentioned, it is the most mysterious place in the "Shadow" team - the "Evil Spirit" squad (for this point, you can find the answer in "Phantom").

  Of course, it's not completely idle. When the new recruits of this special forces unit were almost gathered, Wang Weilong showed them an Indonesian movie - "Raid".

  Because it reflects the original version, even the Chinese subtitles are a combination of traditional and Cantonese versions, and the translation is not very comprehensive, so the whole plot can be said that the new recruits did not understand.

  But what left a deep impression on them was the extensive use of professional close quarters combat techniques in the film.

  CQC, Close Quarters Combat, a military technique for hand-to-hand combat.

  The entire film lets these soldiers see the charm of advanced individual close combat tactics with dagger + firearms.

  It can be said that these people called Lu Zhanyi had a new understanding of their worldview for the first time.

  "We are a group of soldiers who have elevated killing to an art form, our existence is solely for the purpose of annihilating the enemy and achieving victory. Frankly speaking, from now on, you will learn the art of killing, using the most aesthetically violent methods." Wang*Wei*Long said with a light tone.

  But this is the simplest summary of the content of special forces training.
