Chapter 47: Devil Training Camp (7)

  At 7:00 sharp, Ma Xiangdong was ready to blow the assembly whistle. The students didn't know what difficulties were waiting for them again, and they ran out of their dormitories one by one with anxiety in their hearts to assemble.

  Ma Dong leads all the students to be divided into groups of 8, led by instructors into the first floor of the instructor building, and stand in a column in front of each of the 10 closed doors.

  Zhan Peng ranked fifth, Qi Yunfei stood behind him, and Chu Heng was in another team. The three people's hearts were racing like drums, not knowing what kind of fierce beast was waiting for them in the room.

  The instructor ordered the students to enter the room one by one, each person taking nearly 20 minutes. The students who came out were either beaming with pride or hanging their heads in silence. Those waiting in line tried to ask them about the situation inside, but were sternly stopped by the instructor's gaze.

  Zhan Peng's heart sank even further. It was his turn now, the room was brightly lit, and a piece of velvet cloth covered one wall from top to bottom. Two instructors sat behind a table, their eyes piercing and stern.

  The instructor ordered him to stand at attention in front of the wall covered with cloth, "There are many strangers' photos and numbers on this wall. You have five minutes to remember as many numbers under each photo as you can. Got it?"

  "Understood, instructor." Zhan Peng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down his emotions.

  The instructor lifted up the velvet cloth, "Begin."

  Zhan Peng widened his eyes, staring almost unblinkingly at the nearly 300 photos on the wall, forcing himself to remember as many of the corresponding numbers as possible.

  "Time's up." A instructor emotionlessly put down the cover. Another instructor called him to the desk, and randomly pulled out a photo from a thick stack in his hand: "What's this number?"

  "Number 196." Zhan Peng replied without hesitation.

  The instructor drew out another one, "Number 86."

  "No. 123."

  "Number 22."

  Zhan Peng answered the ten photos in one breath, and a slight smile appeared on the instructor's flat face. He made a mark on a form and pointed to the various gun parts piled up in the corner of the wall on a large cleaning mat, saying:

  Zhan Peng's eyes widened as he stared at the gun parts in front of him, which belonged to over a dozen different firearms. The sight made his head spin. Although he had received training on assembling guns in the reconnaissance unit, he had never faced so many components that looked similar yet were vastly different. His heart began to pound violently.

  The instructor held a stopwatch and walked up beside him, "As much as you can assemble in twenty minutes, get ready! Start!"

  Zhan Peng immediately squatted down, first comparing the length and size, then trying to assemble them. The two instructors stood behind him, watching his movements with interest, occasionally exchanging a glance.

  "Time's up! Stop!"

  Zhan Peng felt that these twenty minutes had passed in the blink of an eye. He looked regretfully at the large pile of scattered parts on the ground, sighed, and in front of him were only six assembled firearms.

  The instructor wrote down the score on the form and said to him: "You passed, go to the *th field to report to the chief instructor."

  Zhan Peng's heart was filled with excitement, he bowed and turned to leave, running to the training ground to report to Xu Mingliang. By this time, there were already fifty or so students standing behind Xu Mingliang, including Chu Heng.

  After entering the examination room, Zhi Yunfei was not asked to look at photos. An instructor handed him a paper full of passwords and corresponding translations, saying: "Memorize as much as you can in five minutes!"

  Zi Yunfei's lips moved silently as he recited the words, almost reading ten lines at a glance from the paper in his hand. When the instructor shouted stop, he raised his head and said: "I've memorized it all."

  The instructor took back the password paper from him and said, "I'll say a sentence, translate it with the password: The enemy's main battle tank will assemble in area C at 2:40."

  The instructor nodded and scored points, also bringing him to a corner of the wall filled with gun parts.

  The instructor had just pressed the stopwatch, and Qi Yunfei, who was anxious, immediately grabbed the O5 micro-charge cylinder and stuffed it into the barrel of the 95 assault rifle. When he couldn't get it in, he tossed it aside and began rummaging through a pile of parts with both hands, making a loud clattering noise. He discarded any parts that didn't fit and tried to force those that were close enough. Sweating profusely as he worked, he muttered to himself, "This is too hard, no one can do it, not even in twenty minutes, let alone an hour!"

  The instructor next to him said impatiently, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will cancel your qualification for the exam!"

  When the instructor shouted "stop", he wiped his sweat-drenched face and found that only three of the guns in front of him were fully assembled.

  The instructor's face was expressionless, filling in the score and saying to him: "You passed, get out, assemble on the field."

  By 9:30 PM, all the trainees' assessments had finally come to an end. Jin Huan closed his laptop, adjusted his clothes and slowly walked towards the field.

  There were still 58 students left on the field, and Jin Huan's appearance gave these students a slight **, that is, hoping to know his identity, but also afraid that his all-seeing eyes would fall on themselves.

  Xu Mingliang stood in front of the team, saluted and reported loudly: "Comrade Captain, the training camp of the first company of the Cheetah Brigade is summarizing the assessment results, please instruct! Acting Company Commander Xu Mingliang of the First Company!"

  Jin Huang returned a courtesy to him, slightly nodding his head: "Let's make a deal!"

  "Yes!" Xu Mingliang turned his head and shouted to the trainees "Cross stand!" Immediately ran to the instructor team, standing in their own position.

  "Let me introduce myself. I am Jin Huan, the current captain of the Cheetah Squad!"

  The trainee team suddenly let out a burst of excited gasps, Jin Huan - the legendary figure of C Military Region, the idol in the hearts of all scouts, and they could actually see this hero with their own eyes.

  After a brief silence, Jin Huan continued: "I believe that every soldier standing in front of me is excellent. In the past 30 hours, you have proven with your actions that you are among the best ordinary soldiers! Please accept my respect for the strong!" He stood at attention and gave the students a standard military salute.

  The students immediately stood at attention and returned the salute, no one thinking that this formidable figure would actually salute them. They were so excited that their chests heaved violently, their faces flushed bright red. Xian Peng's heart was surging with emotion, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. Facing this soldier whom he had only met once but had already become his lifelong goal, he straightened his back even more.

  "You have all passed the assessment to enter the training camp and have obtained the qualification for formal training. However, before you officially start as a special forces trainee and begin your training, I first want everyone to understand what modern special forces are! Is there anyone among you who can tell me what an army is?"

  "Report!" Zhang Peng shouted loudly.

  "Speak!"

  "The army is the foundation of a country's dignity, and its primary mission is to become the guardian of the nation and its people when facing foreign invasion!" Zhang Peng answered loudly with all his might, his voice echoing in the empty space for a long time.

  "Well said! On this premise, the meaning of the word soldier is power and will! Special forces are a perfect combination of strong power and firm will! With such power and will, you can support yourself and your comrades to survive! Only with such power and will, can you have the strongest combat effectiveness and survival ability!"

  "The special warfare method, which mainly uses small-scale surprise attacks, is playing an increasingly prominent and important role in modern warfare. In aspects such as reconnaissance behind enemy lines, infiltration, sabotage, and information guidance, it often plays a decisive role in determining the direction of the entire battle situation. This training camp is specifically for training and cultivating the most elite special warfare personnel! However, to achieve this goal, you must undergo the most brutal training, with bloodshed, sweat, and possibly even paying the price of your life! Even so, some of you will still face the fate of being eliminated."

  Jin Huang paused slightly, his tone becoming somewhat gentler: "So, I absolutely won't force you to stay. Now, I'll give you two choices. Those who want to quit, stay where you are and don't move. Those who are willing to continue on and make themselves even stronger, take a step forward!"

  A surge of passion was swirling in Zhan Peng's chest, he couldn't help but feel excited and agitated, his heart was completely filled with this agitation! The feeling of shouldering the fate of the nation and ethnicity to struggle and fight made him take a big step forward without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, Qi Yunfei also took a step forward, all 58 students took a step forward together, not one person announced their withdrawal.

  Jin Huan's heart was suddenly filled with something, his gaze swept across the faces of each student, as if to engrave every person in his mind. The faint moonlight cast a halo on the students' faces and bodies, and on these young and determined faces, Jin Huan seemed to see the future of the Leopard Squad, the future of the entire nation.

  Slowly raising his hand, Jin Huan once again gave a most solemn military salute to all the students!
