Chapter One

  Chapter 1

  In the ancient primeval forest of Sichuan's Daliangshan, a cold wind howls through, where the world's most beautiful Somal flower blooms. There are also the world's most ferocious snow wolves, and at this moment, a primitive hunt is unfolding here.

  Seven Chinese special forces soldiers are undergoing the assessment and selection of the "Lightning Sword" elite special forces battalion in Military Region A. Just a minute ago, when everyone was extremely hungry, Jinfeng encountered Snow Wolf, who had also come out to find food, while trying to find some food for everyone.

  Now four snow wolves were tearing at Jinfeng like they were hunting a wild buffalo, with Jinfeng's hands grasping the necks of two of them. His eyes were bloodshot and his throat let out a muffled roar like a beast. The will to survive made him forget the pain, as his legs had already been torn by the other two snow wolves until they were a bloody mess, with fresh blood flowing out profusely. In front of him, ten or so meters away, lay his gun and several dead snow wolf bodies. Farther away, more snow wolves were rapidly running towards him.

  Just a minute ago, when his hoarse roar echoed through the entire forest, his comrades had already imagined countless dangerous scenes, but seeing the scene in front of them still made these ' elite' special forces soldiers take a cold breath. Well-equipped and well-trained, they looked at their comrade being torn apart by the snow wolf like wooden sticks, unable to do anything.

  "Jiang Hao and Long Jie save Jin Feng, the others deal with the wolf pack that's charging up." The voice with a commanding tone was Shǎn Diàn Jiàn (the most elite special forces battalion of A Group Army), a 12-year veteran soldier named Yang Zhongliang. At this moment, he was running and directing the group of special forces soldiers selected from various units. In such an emergency situation, he could still remain calm and direct the battle, showing that "Shǎn Diàn Jiàn" was not ordinary. As soon as his words fell, two gunshots rang out, and the two snow wolves that were greedily biting Jin Feng's leg were already lying on the ground twitching uncontrollably. Immediately after, Jiang Hao and Long Jie simultaneously drew their military knives and jumped to Jin Feng's side, each beheading another two snow wolves with a single slash of their blades. The hard bones of the snow wolves made their wrists ache slightly, but they also truly experienced the sharpness of their military knives for the first time.

  On this side, the " elite" who were just at a loss also reacted. Immediately began to sweep towards the wolf pack, and the snow wolves fell down one after another not far away. However, they were too cunning and immediately took advantage of the shelter of the big tree to rush over at high speed. These young special forces elites had experienced countless simulated battlefield training, but it was their first time encountering a wolf pack, and it was such close combat. For a while, they felt tense, and 20 rounds of ammunition were used up in an instant.

  Draw sword.

  Just as everyone was at a loss, Yang Zhongliang reminded them in time. In the flash of lightning, the wolf pack had already pounced over, and Yuan Shuai quickly drew his military knife from his back and slashed it down from top to bottom, from right to left. The wolves that were pouncing in mid-air were cut into two segments, and fresh blood spurted onto his face. He didn't have time to feel the smell of blood on his face when another wolf had already knocked him to the ground, its mouth open wide, biting at his neck. Yuan Shuai instinctively dropped his knife and clamped his hands around the wolf's neck like a pair of iron pliers. The white teeth were cold and sharp, only about 10 centimeters away from his neck. The two pairs of blood-red eyes stared at each other, the wolf's long tongue panting heavily, its throat making continuous "uu" sounds, saliva dripping onto Yuan Shuai's face, smelling foul. He suppressed his nausea and was about to turn over when a severe pain came from his right leg. A glance to the side showed that another wolf had bitten his leg, the pain causing his hands to go limp for a moment. Just then, the snow wolf seized the opportunity to bite at his neck again. He thought of using his hand to block it but was too late, so he twisted his neck to the left, and a piercing pain came from his right shoulder. The snow wolf's sharp teeth had bitten into his scapula, the teeth deeply embedded in his shoulder. He seemed to hear the sound of teeth scraping against bone, "kakaka". The pain almost made him faint, while at the same time, the wolf that was biting his leg let out a "hiss" and tore off a piece of flesh from his leg. Fresh blood quickly soaked through his military pants, and he didn't have time to feel the sticky liquid flowing down his leg before grabbing this opportunity, in the few seconds before the snow wolf came at him again after tearing off his leg meat, he swiftly bent his leg and drew out a dagger from his combat boot. Enduring the pain in his scapula, he stabbed the dagger into the back of the snow wolf's neck. After a struggle, the wolf's teeth slowly loosened. Before he could catch his breath, another wolf bit his right leg again, the intense pain almost making him cry out, but he had to endure this piercing agony, pulling out the dagger and slashing it horizontally at the wolf's neck, and another gush of fresh blood splashed onto him.

  At the same time, others were also fighting with several wolves. Yang Zhongliang had not been knocked down yet, and three wolves were already lying in front of him. There were two more wolves, one in front and one behind, staring at him. It was clear that he had consumed a lot of physical strength, panting loudly, and his body was covered in blood, which might be from the wolves or himself, or maybe both.

  After a few seconds, the two wolves launched a simultaneous attack. Yang Zhongliang chopped at the wolf in front of him, while the other wolf was about to bite his neck. At that moment, Yuan Shuai, disregarding his bleeding right leg, tightly grasped his military knife and made a horizontal thrust, pouncing forward. The wolf's teeth almost touched Yang Zhongliang's neck when Yuan Shuai's knife simultaneously pierced its body. Man and wolf crashed heavily to the ground together. Yang Zhongliang looked at the fallen wolf and Yuan Shuai, then let out a deep breath.

  Li Nan was the best swordsman among the seven people, and he was almost unscathed. However, he was now surrounded by three wolves. But he seemed to be not surprised at all, and unlike others who were defending against the wolves' attack, he took the initiative to launch a counterattack. As the three wolves were still panting heavily, Li Nan gripped his military sword tightly, with his left foot in front and right foot in back, forming a "丁" shape step. Then, suddenly, his left foot stepped forward fiercely, followed by his right foot, which supported his entire body as he leaned forward. His sword stabbed straight ahead, and the combination of his stepping forward, leaning body, and the length of his sword allowed him to advance more than 5 meters in an instant. The wolf in front of him was caught off guard and had not reacted yet when Li Nan's sword had already stabbed deeply into its chest. The two wolves behind and to the left of Li Nan quickly pounced on him. Li Nan swiftly pulled out his sword, and with a beautiful whirlwind kick, he kicked the wolf that was jumping in mid-air right in the waist. As he completed the whirlwind kick, his sword sliced upwards from below, cutting open the belly of the wolf behind him with a beautiful arc shape. And incredibly, he was still able to stand firmly on the ground, and the wolf he had kicked to the ground had not even had time to get up before Li Nan split it in two with one slash.

  Yuan Shuai and Yang Zhongliang were only a dozen or so steps away from him, just as they arrived to help, the three wolves were killed by Li Nan's knife. This beautiful move made them almost disbelieve their eyes, and they couldn't help but secretly admire Li Nan's knife skills.

  Li Nan is from Henan, with a height of only 170cm, but you can tell from the muscles on his face that he's a martial artist. His family is a martial arts family, and with bare hands, 5 or 6 people can't get close to him.

  The funniest thing is that Wang Yuanjian climbed up a big tree when the wolf pack rushed towards them, and no one saw how he managed to climb the tree in such a short time. He was a sniper, and during their battle with the wolves, all 12 of his remaining bullets were spent on the wolves' bodies without any waste.

  All the wolves have been eliminated, and everyone sat heavily on the ground. Yuan Shuai bandaged his right leg, which was bleeding, and wiped the blood from his face while saying: "This wolf is really disgusting, it made me drool."

  "That wolf must be a mother wolf." Jin Feng added.

  Yuan Shuai was surprised: "How did you know it's a mother wolf?"

  "It's drooling because it thinks you're handsome, right?" Jin Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. He continued to say: "We have no objection to saying that you are handsome, but being handsome and seducing a mother wolf is not your fault, causing us all to suffer with you."

  Everyone burst out laughing at Jin Feng's joke.

  (Just after experiencing a thrilling scene, they still have the mind to make jokes, their mental quality is ordinary. Of course, this is also achieved through countless trainings. The psychological training of the troops where Jin Feng used to be was notoriously cruel. Several people pressed their heads on the rail tracks, heard the screeching sound of the train and the rail tracks, screamed, eliminated; lost their sanity and struggled, eliminated; failed to escape within the specified time, eliminated. Such trainings are too numerous to mention.)

  Jiang Hao thought for a moment and asked, "You say this wolf is different from other wolves. It's snow-white, not a single stray hair. If it weren't so cold-blooded and ferocious, it would definitely be worth a good price as a pet."

  "Damn! At this time, you're still thinking about how to make money, I'm impressed. You know why Zhejiang is developing so fast? They can dig up business opportunities everywhere. If you take off the wolf skin and bring it back, you'll definitely be able to sell it for a good price."

  Yang Zhongliang: "This is called a snow wolf, which only exists on plateaus above 3,000 meters. It's smaller than an ordinary wolf, but more ferocious, colder and more cunning."

  While talking, a wolf suddenly stood up and ran quickly, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

  Yang Zhongliang: "This crafty guy".

  "It's just running away, so what?" Li Nan said disdainfully.

  "You don't understand, this time the wolf is just a few who are starving and can't bear it, 'privately' came out to find prey. Now that it's run away, it will definitely go and inform the Wolf King. A pack of wolves with a Wolf King, its combat power is not inferior to a well-trained army." Yang Zhongliang said worriedly.

  "What can we do? Let's retreat first." Li Nan suggested.

  Yang Zhongliang looked up at the sky: "The sky has already darkened, tonight we can't fight against the wolves"

  "What's going to happen now?" everyone asked worriedly.

  No matter how dangerous the situation is, Yang Zhongliang can remain calm, worthy of being a veteran of the Lightning Sword Troop.

  The Lightning Sword is the most elite combat unit of China's A Group Army. It was formed in battalion size, equivalent to an enhanced company. Recruitment is also selected from the best among various special forces units. The six of them were just selected from other units and participated in the Lightning Sword Battalion training for the first time, encountering this unexpected situation during their first training session, which was a significant exercise for them.

  "Everyone split up and find some dry branches, don't go too far, within a range of 30 meters."

  In this primeval forest, it was easy to find some dead branches and soon they lit a bonfire.

  "How come we didn't think of such a simple method? We've trained so many times normally." Wang Yuan said with self-mockery.

  Wang Yuanjian is a Shanghainese, 1.75 meters tall, with a dark red face that exudes an aura of intimidation, just like all special forces soldiers. He is the only person in the entire A Group Army who can achieve a 100% hit rate in any environment. During a military exercise, in level 7 winds, he shot and killed a lieutenant colonel from the Blue Army who walked out of his tent less than 30 seconds earlier, at a distance of over 600 meters. A general didn't believe it and decided to test him personally, with the same result: hit by one bullet at a distance of over 800 meters. The general was so impressed that he exclaimed "divine" seven times. The next day, Wang Yuanjian was poached by that general.

  "If you've been trained, you'll know that the 'Lightning Sword' is a method to keep you calm in the most dangerous situations. Everyone's hungry, let's roast some wolf meat first and collect the dripping oil for later use when we can start a fire. After eating your fill, Wang Yuan sees you're still up in the tree, now there are only 4 bullets left in my gun, remember to take down the wolf king. Only then will our chances of winning increase."

  "But how do I know which one is the Wolf King?" Wang Yuan asked.

  "The biggest one among the leading individuals."

  "Alright, I understand."

  "Others each find a wooden stick, to be used as torches later." After Yang Zhongliang assigned tasks to everyone, they all started eating the wolf meat.

  "The wolf's meat is really fragrant, if you add some pepper and salt it would be perfect." Jiang Hao joked.

  "Well, adding some chili powder would make it even better." Jin Feng continued his topic.

  "It's better with some red wine", Yuan Shuai also joined in the fun.

  "I think beer is still better, red wine is too 'refined' and not suitable for drinking at this time. What do you guys think?"

  "That's right, the analysis is very 'precise', eating barbecue and drinking beer, top-notch equipment." Li Nan said with a big bite of wolf leg meat.

  The next thing is the debate over drinking beer or red wine.

  Yang Zhongliang couldn't help but want to laugh as he listened from the side, earlier they were like quails, now they're like nothing's wrong with them, can't stand them.

  Winter nights always come quickly, and in a short while the sky is completely dark. In the distance, the howling of wolves can be heard, it's the wolf king summoning the pack. The young special forces soldiers grip their military knives tightly. Another fierce battle is about to unfold in this ancient Liangshan primitive forest.

  The sky had completely darkened, and slowly, in the distance, eyes that shone with a green light began to appear, moving stealthily towards them. The night was eerily quiet, not even a breeze stirred. In this environment where a pin drop could be heard, the most primitive and brutal slaughter was lurking. As expected, under the illumination of the firelight, clusters of white lights rapidly approached. Leading the pack was an enormous wolf, at least twice as large as the others. It stopped in its tracks several dozen meters away from them. The wolf king let out a long howl, and the pack began to disperse, spreading out in three directions - east, south, and north - slowly closing in on their prey, leaving only one gap open to the west.

  The wolf king led a small number of wolves in the front, that is, the east side, with heavy "troops" holding hands on both north and south sides.

  "Monitor, let's withdraw westward for a while." Li Nan suggested.

  Yang Zhongliang: "The west side is definitely a cliff or a dead end, it will not be beneficial to us. If it were, they wouldn't have left an empty space for us. And what about Wang Yuanjian who was still on the tree? How would he get down? Moreover, without a sniper, it's even more unfavorable for us."

  Everyone gasped in shock, what a cunning wolf king.

  Yang Zhongliang: "Wait a minute, Wang Yuanshen killed the wolf king and rushed forward."

  Everyone held their breath, in this human and wolf confrontation of hunting and counter-hunting, it was wisdom and courage that were relied upon. At this moment, whoever moved first would be the one to be hunted.

  Yuan Shuai said nervously: "Wang Yuanjian, why haven't you fired yet? We're so close."

  Yang Zhongliang said in a low voice, "Don't be so loud, the experienced wolf king can understand human language. The position where the wolf king is standing now is a blind spot, and Wang Yuanshi's gun cannot aim at it."

  "My god, this wolf king is even more ferocious than humans." Upon hearing Yang Zhongliang's words, Jin Feng's large mouth was big enough to stuff in two 'chicken' eggs.

  Yang Zhongliang: "Now you know the ferocity of Wolf King, I told you Snow Wolf is originally more cunning than other wolves. Learn from Wolf King a bit more."

  "What should we do then, just wait for death?"

  Yang Zhongliang: "Wait, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

  They held their breath! Everyone could hear the sound of their own heartbeat. Fear was devouring them like locusts, and this terrible silence was tightening their nerves like a spring. No one knew how long they had been holding out. Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the air with a mournful cry, splitting the entire valley. The wolf king trembled for a moment before rushing over quickly.

  He's done for, Wang Yuan saw Chen losing his cool. This shot was fundamentally impossible to hit, and as a sniper he should have known that. Looks like he's too tense, this tension might just cost everyone their lives.

  However, just as the wolf king jumped into mid-air for a moment, there was another gunshot that hit the wolf king's forehead. It turned out that Wang Yuan saw that the first shot was intentionally used to lure the wolf king away from its blind spot, so that there would be a possibility of shooting and killing it with the second shot. Of course, the risk of doing this is very high, if the second shot doesn't hit, he knows the consequences, which requires not only excellent marksmanship but also exceptional psychological quality. Most importantly, every sniper must have self-confidence.

  After the death of the wolf king, other snow wolves retreated without a leader. However, they stopped again about 20 meters after retreating.

  At this time, many wolves suddenly appeared in front of them.

  "Head of the class, look! There are many wolves hiding behind the trees." Jiang Hao shouted.

  "Good fellow, if we had just charged forward and hit it (the Wolf King) with the 'Lure the Enemy into a Trap' tactic." Yang Zhongliang's lips trembled slightly as he spoke.

  "Now we can break out of the encirclement?" Wang Yuan saw that he had already come down from the tree.

  "You almost scared me to death with that one shot. I thought you'd lost your cool." Yang Zhongliang said this with a lingering fear.

  I said we can't fight the wolves at night, now that the wolf king is dead, they won't dare to attack us for a while. Let's rest around the bonfire first, there are still two bullets left, when the wolf pack approaches, I'll shoot another one, hearing the gunshot they will retreat again, let's drag it out until dawn.

  Jiang Hao: "We're holding torches and they don't dare get close. Can't we just leave?"

  Yang Zhongliang: "In that case, they will follow us all the way. Their physical strength is much better than ours. Now we are taking a break and waiting for them to get tired. Everyone should relax well, there's still a bloody battle after dawn."

  Yang Zhongliang knew it was impossible for everyone to relax in this situation, so he had to make a mobilization.

  "Do you know why we're called 'Lightning Sword'?" Yang Zhongliang wanted to use this method to shift everyone's attention and achieve a relaxed purpose.

  Long Jie: "Maybe it's describing our troops as a sharp sword like lightning."

  "I think it's because our troops' reaction during battles is as swift as lightning, and the sword might be a metaphor for our combat power being like a sword out of its scabbard, with unparalleled sharpness." Jin Feng said.

  Yang Zhongliang: "Actually, you guys only understand the surface meaning of Thunderbolt Sword. I used to think that way too. Do you still remember what Captain said to you when you first entered 'Thunderbolt Sword'?"

  "There is no weak person in this world, only timid ones." Does everyone still remember?

  "There are no weak soldiers, only timid ones. The lightning represents our army's best individual equipment and the most excellent officers and men. The sword is the most primitive weapon, its killing power often relies on the swordsman's skill and determination to win. This means that we not only have the most advanced equipment but also the strongest fighting will. When war lasts until the end, all advanced weapons will be exhausted. What determines the outcome of the war is people, their courage, spirit, and willpower. That's why our army has 'Lightning Sword' and bayonet training. In modern warfare, hand-to-hand combat with knives is almost zero. However, bayonet training has an unparalleled advantage in cultivating a person's willpower compared to other training methods. We are special forces, and the war requires us to execute the most dangerous and important tasks, sometimes possibly fighting alone, which is a great test of one's willpower."

  "I think knife training is necessary, if we had practiced knife skills, our chances of winning against the wolf pack today would be much higher. Li Nan and Class Leader's knife skills are good, you both didn't get hurt, while we all got injured to some extent." Yuan Shuai still admired Li Nan's elegant knife techniques.

  Yang Zhongliang: "Li Nan? Did your previous unit also have knife skills training?"

  Li Nan: "No, I practiced at home."

  "Later you must teach me," said Yuan Shuai.

  "Certainly"

  "The wolf pack is coming." King Yuan saw the edge and opened the insurance while speaking.

  "Kill the one in front." Yang Zhongliang ordered.

  Wang Yuan saw the gun fire and the bullets were effective, the wolf pack retreated again.

  Jinfeng: "How did you practice your marksmanship? It's too amazing. That shot at the Wolf King just now was really beautiful."

  "That's not something that can be explained in just a few words, you have to calculate the distance of the target, the speed of movement, and the impact of the surrounding environment on the trajectory. For example, wind, bullets are most affected by wind 50 meters after being 'fired'. At this time, you need to calculate the distance between the target and you, the speed of the wind and its impact value to adjust the aiming angle. Even breathing needs to be re-adjusted, which requires repeated training and innate intuition."

  As the last bullet flew out, the sky gradually brightened. Whether the young special soldiers could break through the siege depended on their will to fight. In fact, after experiencing a life-and-death struggle earlier, they were no longer so afraid. What was left seemed more like the heroic spirit of warriors going into battle.

  Yang Zhongliang was a man who would lift the spirits of his comrades even more in times of crisis. He said loudly, "Let's sing a song," he said, "You don't know how to sing the team song 'Flash Sword' yet, let's sing 'A Man Should Strengthen Himself'". As he spoke, he led the way and started singing first.

  Proudly facing the boundless waves

  Passionate like the red sunlight

  Gall like iron cast, bones like fine steel.

  The heroic spirit of "A Man Should Be Strong" resonates throughout the entire primeval forest. Roaring with voices from their bellies, enduring the intense pain on their bodies, dragging their heavy footsteps, they charge towards the wolf pack with swords in hand. At this moment, they are more like fearless warriors on an ancient battlefield! No! They have always been warriors, the most elite and lovable people of the Republic.

  The wolf pack would never have thought that they would take the initiative to attack, and for a moment, their formation was in disarray. They pounced on them without any purpose, and for those who had just struggled back from the brink of death, they knew more about the preciousness of life. And to survive, they must fight. Another fierce battle, another primitive hand-to-hand combat with bayonets seeing red.

  The wolf pack was finally annihilated, and they set foot on the triumphant journey home, leaving their bright red blood on the pristine white snow of the primeval forest.

  When they finally emerged from the primitive forest after a life-and-death struggle, they were already late by one day to complete their mission. All of them were eliminated from "Thunderbolt Sword". At that time, they found it hard to accept this reality, after all, entering "Thunderbolt Sword" was their dream, or rather, the dream of all soldiers in A Military District. They had endured countless hardships and difficulties during the selection process with this dream in mind. If not for the wolf pack incident, which was unprecedented in the history of A Military District's selection, they would have already become members of "Thunderbolt Sword". Their dreams were once so close to them. They didn't have much explanation, perhaps after experiencing life-and-death struggles, they had become indifferent to everything. Staying alive was the most beautiful thing.

  The day they sent off the eliminated members, everyone was very depressed, especially excellent veterans like Yang Zhongliang. The captain looked strong, but when he saw Yang Zhongliang off, his eyes changed color. However, this is the rule of "Flash Sword", there can't be a single failure, because their failure may be the failure of the entire war, so they must quit after one failure.

  Others are fine, after all, they just entered the "Lightning Sword" and didn't have much feelings for this place. If they were sad, it was only because their dreams had been shattered once. But Yang Zhongliang was different, this iron-blooded man who had always shed blood but not tears, the "essence" of the "Lightning Sword", his tears flowed like a broken dam. More than ten years of comrades-in-arms, more than ten years of military camps, and now they were parting ways just like that.

  Those who were leaving began to board the vehicles, and the bugle of the troops played a farewell military song.

  The day he left the troops, the sky was not raining.

  The day you left the troops said you would come to see me off

  The comrades who are leaving have all boarded the vehicle, but those seeing them off are reluctant to leave.

  At this time, a cross-country vehicle drove over from afar. The old soldiers of 'Flash Sword' all knew that it was the commander's car. After a round of formalities, the commander slowly walked towards them, looking at everyone with deep feeling and said:

  "Comrades, although this time everyone has to leave 'Flash Sword', you are still the elite of the army and can still make greater achievements in your original positions. A good soldier can create extraordinary performance in any position. Because I always believe that there is no unqualified position, only unqualified people, any..."

  As he spoke halfway through, his eyes caught a pair of very familiar eyes.

  After finishing speaking, he walked to Yuan Shuai's side. "Young man, did you encounter any danger during this survival training?" The military commander asked in a tone that was almost affirmative.

  "Reporting to the commander, yes, we encountered a pack of wolves." When speaking with the military commander, this veteran who had experienced life and death actually felt his heart beating much faster than usual.

  The big captain on the side heard it, and his already large eyes stared like a copper bell.

  "General, how did you know they had been through danger?"

  "This gaze is all too familiar to me. During the counterattack against Vietnam back then, we fought very fiercely, and many times it was a bloody hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. After one battle ended, those who managed to come out alive had eyes just like this - resolute with a hint of murderous intent. Those who have not experienced extreme danger do not have this." The army commander seemed to be recalling memories from over 20 years ago as he spoke these words.

  "Why didn't you say so?" the captain asked with a hint of anger.

  "Don't blame them, someone who has gone through life and death, their heart is very open. Being alive is already the greatest blessing for them." He then asked Yuan Shuai: "Young man, how many of you are there in total?"

  "Report, there are 6 more."

  "Go find them and wait for me in the team department's office."

  "Yes." He looked around the team with barely contained excitement for those comrades who had gone through life and death together, although it was their first cooperation, but they all felt that these not very familiar comrades were already like their own brothers.

  The commander's eyes were slightly red as he sent off the last batch of soldiers. This "old soldier" who had sent off countless batches of soldiers would think of that war every time he saw his men off, and think of those brothers who would never come back again.

  The captain was listening to Yang Zhongliang and others talking about the thrilling scene of fighting with the snow wolf, when the army chief was already at the door of the team office.

  "Attention!" Jin Feng was the first to see Colonel coming in. Immediately, Captain turned around and saluted Colonel with a military salute "Colonel Comrade, 8 members of Thunder Sword Squad have assembled at the barracks according to your instructions, please instruct us, Captain Jiang Qing 'Bo'." "At ease" "Yes" Then he saluted again and turned around saying "At ease". Everyone sat down in unison. Colonel shook hands with each of them, speaking emotionally "You've worked hard". Then he sat down with them, listening to their account of the entire battle against the wolf pack.

  "After listening, the emotional old soldier said: 'Young men, in this peaceful era, what you have experienced is no less than a brutal war. When facing a cruel and numerous enemy, you had the courage, determination, perseverance, and ultimately defeated the enemy. This is the quality that we soldiers should possess - a soldier must have the spirit of being brave enough to defeat the enemy. Here, I want to say that you are worthy of the title of soldier.' This old soldier who experienced the Vietnam War rarely praised his men, but this time he was sincere."

  "After flattering them, he deliberately tested Jiang Qing's 'wave' and said: Little Jiang, since you won't keep them, why not let them join my guard team? See how it goes? At that time, they can represent our team in the martial arts competition." In fact, he was intentionally teasing him.

  Jiang Qing 'Bo' was also a guy who loved talent like his life, although he knew that the military commander was angry with him. After all, the 'Flash Sword' was built by the military commander himself, so how could he come here to poach people? But in this situation, he couldn't directly disobey orders either. However, he wanted to keep these soldiers. He thought for a moment and said: "Military commander, if you want people, isn't it just a matter of one word? However, the training equipment of your guard team is not good, why not train here with me, and then go to your guard team after training?" This way, he not only didn't disobey orders but also managed to keep them.

  Just as Jun Zhang was about to speak, Jiang Qingbo immediately continued.

  "General, you said you want to participate in what kind of global martial arts competition?"

  The commander smiled and pointed at Jiang Qing 'Bo' saying "You, as soon as you heard about the martial arts competition, your eyes lit up. Yes, we received an invitation from the Estonian World Special Forces Organization to participate in this special forces competition. I'm telling you, you can stay behind, but if you don't come back with first place, you'll have to leave with a slap on the butt."

  "Yes, I guarantee the completion of the task." Jiang Qing's 'wave' could hardly conceal his excitement.

  China is participating in this kind of global military competition for the first time, and it's not easy to get the first place, but he also knows the commander's temperament, on the battlefield there is no second place, the second place is failure, this is also the reason why "Lightning Sword" does not allow failure. This is the deepest experience of a commander who has experienced four battles against Vietnam.

  At this moment, Yang Zhongliang, who was listening to their conversation on the side, knew that they were going to participate in the world's special forces competition and bring back the first prize. How easy is it? They knew that an unprecedented ordeal was about to begin.

  Jiang Qing's "temperament" is a sharp and resolute person, which is also the habit he has cultivated in the army for many years. Since he took on this task, he must have two "sharp" drills. Tormenting training is his forte, because he thinks that no matter how advanced the weapon is, without a strong will and an unyielding determination to win, the weapon may also be prepared for the enemy.

  The training time was set for the second day.

  This training session is for the entire "Lightning Sword" team, so it's unfair to Yuan Shuai and his group. Because they still have to complete some assessment training for "Lightning Sword", while the veterans directly participate in training focused on 'sex'. Watching the veterans go to participate in training for the world martial arts competition, their hearts feel like they are being scratched by countless claws. They gritted their teeth to pass this assessment and soon join the veterans' training together with Lao Bing. After all, this opportunity is something that some people can't even get after a lifetime of being a soldier.

  The one training them was a lieutenant, not very tall, with big eyes, skin darker than theirs and peeling. However, his eyes still looked spirited. He spoke as if he were yelling, feeling like he was talking to a group of deaf people: "You are now standing in this place, but that doesn't mean you are soldiers of this unit. I train a group of soldiers sent from various units every year, but basically only 10% can stay in this unit, or sometimes not even one. Some rules don't need to be repeated, as everyone comes from special forces. Now come and take your own number, I'll call you up one by one." (These were all familiar to them, as when they first entered their original special forces unit, it was the same - no names, only numbers.) After receiving their numbers, the lieutenant began his speech.

  "I don't care which elite unit you were in before, but from now on, please forget the fancy tricks your previous units taught you. What we need here are people with real combat skills. I'm honored to tell you that every year, we participate in over 200 anti-drug, rescue, and counter-terrorism missions. So, fancy tricks have no market value here."
