Chapter Ten Sudden Attack

  Time flies like water, and before I knew it, the lights went out.

  The lights went out with a single blow of the whistle, and the entire "Red Beret" special forces training base was plunged into darkness, even the streetlights were extinguished.

  The night was dark and vast, the night sky shrouded the earth, and the reserve team members in the base gradually fell into a sweet dream.

  It was a clear night, with stars twinkling like diamonds in the sky, shining brightly and clearly. The curved moon emitted soft light, and silver rays swept across the ground. The fragrance of the night filled the air, making people feel drowsy. All the scenes were not as real as they were during the day.

  。

  Mountains, trees and houses are all shrouded in a layer of vague, illusory colors, as if they have become more mysterious, giving people a dreamy feeling.

  At midnight, the starry sky suddenly disappeared, lightning flashed across the horizon, dark clouds brought strong winds, and the sound of thunder was like cannon fire. The sudden rainstorm arrived in an instant. The rumbling thunder, howling wind, and pattering raindrops made this quiet night suddenly lively.

  Many reserve team members were awakened, feeling the thunder and lightning outside the house and the strong wind and heavy rain. They couldn't help but feel secretly happy in their hearts: Fortunately, there was no training session tonight, no matter how big the storm was, they could sleep soundly.

  Without any mental burden, soon, the reserve player who woke up turned over and fell asleep again.

  "Drip..."

  A sudden, loud and shrill whistle pierced the air, drowning out the thunder, overpowering the wind, and blocking out the rain. All the "Red Beret" reserve team members were startled awake.

  Due to lack of mental preparation beforehand and being unable to turn on the lights, every room was pitch black, with everyone scrambling around in a flurry, only hearing someone shouting:

  "Where are my pants? I remember very clearly, they were just here a moment ago."

  "Who wore my shoes? Don't be like this, okay?"

  "Where is my shirt?"

  In the rustling sound of dressing and the cacophony of questioning voices, many reserve team members were in a state of confusion, running around everywhere, searching here and there.

  Fortunately, all reserve members finally put on their uniforms and rushed out of the door quickly.

  In this way, when all the reserve team members gathered in the square in front of the building, 3 minutes had already passed.

  Although they didn't know why they had to assemble in such terrible weather, all the reserve team members remained silent, their years of military life having cultivated a habit of strict discipline.

  Because in the army, as long as it's about training, there is no such thing as personal demands.

  In training, some are just military personnel who follow orders, that is, only unconditional obedience, no one will give you an explanation of why.

  。

  It wasn't until everyone had gathered that they realized the only person on the square was Captain Li Zhenhong, standing alone in front of the team, and the other four instructors were nowhere to be seen.

  Although the weather made it impossible to see Li Zhenhong's face clearly, from afar in the wind and rain, with the help of lightning flashes, one could see that Li Zhenhong was wearing a camouflage uniform, standing tall and upright against the wind and rain.

  Although only Li Zhenhong stood there, a majestic aura could be clearly felt, rushing forward like a pillar in the wind and rain, with an awe-inspiring demeanor, continuously emitting waves of cold air.

  As the hundred "Red Berets" reservists stood at attention, Li Zhenhong thundered in the pouring rain: "You scoundrels! Look at yourselves, what kind of uniforms are you wearing? Can you still call yourselves soldiers? Take another look, from the start of the whistle to assembly completion, how long did it take you? Ah!"

  "I'm ashamed of you all! A simple emergency assembly, and it took you a whole three minutes! Three minutes, is this your capability? And this is the speed when you're empty-handed. If you were fully armed, how long would it take for you to assemble? With quality like yours, you're special forces? Bullshit! I think you're not even as good as new recruits!"

  "Of course, some of you may be unhappy and think that Instructor Li doesn't keep his word! We clearly agreed not to have training at night, so why the sudden raid? But don't forget your identities! And even more, don't forget the purpose of coming here! What did you come here for? To enjoy yourselves? Will the enemy give you advance notice before attacking?"

  "As a special forces soldier, no matter when or where, no matter what the situation is, you must always be on high alert! Be ready to fight at any time! Perhaps one day, it will be because of the slackness of one person among you that the entire mission fails! Or even the whole army is annihilated!"

  Li Zhenhong became more and more agitated as he spoke, completely disregarding the fact that his entire body was already soaked through. When he reached an emotional point, he even stretched out his index finger, pointing at the team once for every sentence he uttered, with a look of utter frustration.

  "I don't know how you were selected in the first place? Didn't you guys ever participate in emergency assemblies in your original units? Is this really your actual training level? Can't even wear clothes properly? How can you fight? If you're still like this in the future, get out of my sight! I'd rather replace you with a new batch of recruits!"

  In fact, for the vast majority of reserve team members, they did not wear the wrong uniform, and the assembly speed was also very fast. Only a handful of comrades made mistakes.

  。

  But for some reason, Li Zhenhong seemed to only see those who were lagging behind in his eyes, and ignored those who performed well, scolding them indiscriminately.

  But no matter which reserve player, even Wang Fanglong, who was the first to rush to the square, was deeply shocked in his heart!

  Indeed, after Li Zhenhong said that there would be no training on the first night, all the reserve players relaxed and no one thought they would still train. Everyone was thinking of using this evening to rest well.

  Some comrades who were too relaxed just floated up in this emergency assembly.

  If they are mentally prepared, they will do very well and pay attention to their clothes, and there will definitely be no phenomenon of wearing the wrong uniform.

  So, although Li Zhenhong's scolding was indiscriminate, everyone had no complaints and were reflecting in their hearts, why did they relax their vigilance? This fatal mistake should not have occurred on any special soldier, so why did it happen to them?

  They were originally special warfare elites from their original units, and now they are even more so with the goal of becoming the strongest special forces. This kind of low-level mistake can be said to be unforgivable.

  They all asked themselves: Now that training hasn't even started, how can they slack off? Is it just because of one sentence spoken by the instructor?

  This is no excuse at all. If they can't even get the most basic training subject of emergency assembly right, how can they pass the final assessment?

  All "Red Beret" reserve members, without making any sound, everyone was like this, quietly thinking in the wind and rain.

  Seeing these reserve players silently pondering, Li Zhenhong also fell silent.

  One hundred and one people stood quietly in the storm.

  The dense raindrops kept pounding against everyone present, their camouflage uniforms were already soaked through and stuck to their bodies, under the wrinkled military uniforms, sturdy figures could be vaguely seen.

  The wind is getting stronger and stronger!

  The rain is getting heavier!

  This scene, I don't know how much longer it will last.
