Never Back Down (Third update completed, seeking collection and recommendation)

  Bang!

  Faintly, Tang Ao seemed to hear a gunshot. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but after a while, the sound of gunfire rang out again and continued non-stop. The voice seemed to be coming from the shooting range, "Who's not sleeping at midnight and shooting guns? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"

  Tang Ao returned to the dormitory, but found that Lei Feng's bed was empty and his quilt was cold. It seemed that he had been out for a long time. At this moment, the sound of gunfire came from the shooting range again. Tang Ao, who was wide awake, took out the high-powered optical sight given by his sister Tian Meizi, and looked at the shooting range through the window. As expected, the person shooting in the range was Lei Feng. He would finish the bullets in the magazine and immediately replace it with a new one, then pull up the bolt and continue firing without stopping for a moment!

  Tang Ao clearly saw that the bolt of the 79-style sniper rifle used by Lei Feng had been polished off, shining brightly in the moonlight like a bright night pearl. The wear and tear on the bolt was not achieved overnight.

  Lei Ting's efforts made him feel inferior, but at the same time, he was also puzzled. Lei Ting worked so hard, why were his shooting scores so poor!

  So, Tang Ao observed Lei Feng for several days until one day when Wang Hu brought the squad to the shooting range for their weekly long-range sniper training. Lei Feng's performance was still terrible. In private, Wang Hu gave Lei Feng an expulsion order: "With your shooting skills, you will not only harm yourself but also harm your comrades who fight alongside you. I have already spoken with Zhu Zanlin, the Director of the General Political Department. Tomorrow morning, I will personally escort you out of the company!"

  While everyone was asleep, Lei Feng got up again by himself. This time it was different from usual. Tang Ao saw him packing his clothes and putting all his belongings into a backpack. He left the dormitory without any hesitation.

  Tang Ao sensed that something was off, so he secretly followed him. Lei Feng met the first squad of soldiers on night duty and just nodded slightly to indicate, while the soldiers thought he was going to practice shooting again, so they didn't stop him. Instead, they stopped Tang Ao who was following Lei Feng, and it took Tang Ao a lot of effort to get rid of the soldiers' questioning!

  Lei Ting walked to the shooting range without stopping, but instead went straight to the wall behind the shooting range. Tang Ao looked more and more uncomfortable, quickly appeared in shape and shouted: "Giant baby, what do you want to do? You won't be thinking of climbing over the wall and becoming a deserter?"

  "Sneaking around and following me for so long, finally willing to come out!"

  Lei seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, standing at the foot of the wall with a cold tone: "What's it to you? I advise you, trash, to pretend you didn't see anything!"

  After speaking, Lei Feng turned around and suddenly jumped up, single-handedly grasping the wall along the edge, with his other hand taking out a pair of pliers to cut off the high-voltage electric net on the wall, then he was about to flip over the outside of the wall.

  Tang Ao wouldn't just sit back and do nothing, he quickly climbed up the wall and grabbed Lei Feng, saying: "Are you crazy? Is running away with the first battalion of soldiers something that should be done? You've sworn an oath under the national flag!"

  "Get out of here! What right does a piece of trash like you have to lecture me?"

  Lei Tong angrily wanted to push away Tang Ao's arm, but Tang Ao grasped it very tightly.

  Two people were dragging and pulling on the narrow wall, when suddenly another person appeared below: "What are you doing!"

  Lei Ting looked at the person under the wall and couldn't help but exclaim: "Big sister!"

  The person under the wall was actually Lei Feng's older sister, female soldier team leader Tian Meizi!

  "Give it back to me... Bang!"

  Tang Ao took advantage of the emptiness and pushed Lei Feng down the wall, jumping down himself: "You want to be a deserter so much, why did you join the army in the first place?"

  Lei Feng punched Tang Ao to the ground and shouted: "You trash, what do you know? Do you think I want to be a soldier? If it weren't for that damn guy, I would never have become a soldier in this lifetime!"

  "Lao San, Tang Ao thinks of you as a brother and comrade-in-arms, that's why he stopped you. Don't be ungrateful!" Tian Meizi pushed away the furious Lei Feng.

  "Pfft, who treats him like a brother!" Tang Ao was extremely ungrateful and said: "Every day pretending to be the king of heaven, with a gloomy face and not even a hint of salt or oil, if there's something on your mind just say it, what problem can't our small team solve together?!"

  Tang Ao's words were sharp as a knife, but his heart was soft as tofu. In the end, he still wanted to help Lei Feng!

  "I...!"

  Lei Feng wanted to argue, but the words reached the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back. The angry and proud expression gradually subsided, replaced by endless desolation: "Don't bother with my affairs anymore, besides, you can't help anyway, thank you Tang Ao, I will remember your kindness as a good brother!"

  "Who's your good brother!" Tang Ao still had a hard mouth, "Don't change the subject, tell me why your shooting is so bad? I saw you secretly practicing every night a few days ago, with your diligence, even if you're highly myopic, you should be able to practice to a hundred paces and hit the mark!"

  Lei Ting looked at Tian Mei Zi beside him, while Tian Mei Zi explained to Tang Ao: "Tang Ao, it's not entirely Old Three's fault that he lost the game, but because of one person!"

  Tang Ao frowned and asked: "Who is that person?"

  "That's my father!"

  ……

  My name is Lei Feng, I am a marriage with very obvious political implications. My mother was the daughter of a general, she divorced her ex-husband after giving birth to my sister Tian Meizi and married that cruel man who was also a son of a general, my father!

  I started having memories at the age of five. When other children were in school, I followed my father to the grassland where this unit was stationed. It was a small unit with few people, but it was the strongest unit I had ever seen in my life. It didn't have a number, and my father usually called it: The First Brigade!

  One day, I was playing with my twin brother when our father asked us to follow him to watch the first team's shooting training. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a brother, and two years after my parents got married, my mother became pregnant and gave birth to twins - me and my brother who came out of my mom's womb a few minutes earlier than me, but I was three pounds heavier than him. My mom always said that while we were in her belly, I took all the food from my big brother. When I was five years old, I was already a head taller than him, but could only be his little brother who followed him around everywhere!

  Although he was only a few minutes older than me in this world, he enjoyed being the big brother and always imitated my same mother different father sister Tian Meizi's appearance to touch my head, saying: be good, laughably, he wanted to touch my head, had to tiptoe to reach.

  That day I watched the first squadron's live ammunition training, I was so excited, all the way back I kept telling my dad, those uncles are so powerful, when I grow up I also want to be like them... That is one of the most regrettable things I've ever said in my life, especially saying that in front of my father!

  When I was ten years old, my height had already surpassed that of my elder sister Tian Meizi. She and my brother could no longer reach my head when they tried to touch it, but I didn't feel happy about it because that marked the beginning of my nightmares.

  One morning, Father held a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and asked me: "Lei Ting, my son, do you want to be a warrior?"

  I said without thinking at that time: "Think? I even think about it in my dreams!" Now when I recall those words, they are utterly ironic.

  "My father asked me again: 'Do you know what qualities are needed to be a warrior?'"

  This question is no match for me, because since I was five years old, my father often instilled in me some strange knowledge. I replied: "Loyal to the motherland, brave enough to sacrifice, with good military skills, and...and!"

  Seeing me hesitate, Father seemed furious. He grabbed my collar and lifted me up, loudly asking: "What else?"

  I'm afraid of speaking out of turn and saying something that hasn't been thought through: "Still loyal to the motherland!" I've already said this just now.

  His father became even angrier: "What happened to all the things I taught you over these years?"

  The siblings next to me didn't dare to interrupt, watching Father's furious appearance. Only Mom quietly encouraged me: "San, think carefully!" As she spoke, she pointed to her own forehead with her finger.

  I suddenly realized and hurriedly shouted loudly: "There is still a clever and calm mind!"

  My father finally let me go, and from then on I had to train like a real soldier every day, fighting, wrestling, and equipment combat. My father forced me to fight with his loud roar, teaching me to never back down.

  Especially in shooting training, Father was very strict. He said that shooting is the basic skill of every soldier and also the most important one. If I accidentally missed a bullet during shooting practice, Father would always furiously roar: Continue to practice, practice until you can shoot 100 consecutive shots without missing a target!

  When I was fourteen, one day I fell ill and felt extremely tired. My shots were always off target. My father scolded me in a fit of rage: "You fool! If you can't shoot well, don't sleep! Keep shooting until dawn!"

  I'm so exhausted, I fell asleep in the middle of the battle, to be exact, it wasn't sleep, but a doze that lasted less than two seconds. In those two seconds, my hand unconsciously touched the scorching hot gun barrel, and the intense pain made me involuntarily hug my burnt hand and scream as I jumped up.

  My father, furious, used his belt to whip me, whipping me hard, almost to death. My elder sister and brother pitied me and protected me behind them. Their silent protest enraged my father even more, and he hit even harder.

  Later, when my mother heard our cries for help, she rushed out of the room and shielded us three siblings behind her. This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. My father slapped my mother to the ground: You dare to disobey me too!

  As I watched my mother clutching her swollen face and crying, at that moment I began to hate him, a deep-seated hatred. I wanted to kill him, raising the rifle to shoot him, but he kicked me to the ground: Unfilial son!

  ……

  "You're more ruthless than your old man!" This was Tang Ao's conclusion after hearing this story.

  Lei Feng felt helpless towards Tang Ao's weird summary of not grasping the key point, and continued: "Later, the first squadron changed its garrison location, my sister joined the army and entered the female soldier team of the first squadron. My brother and I were thrown into the first squadron for training until he sent us a letter to formally join the army. The day after receiving the letter, my brother disappeared."

  "Missing?"
