Chapter 502 Wang Chuan: Wei Hong, long time no see! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

After many years.

Zhao Weihong once again stood on a grand stage as a commander!
Judging from the strength and pride in his voice, it was less a routine report before the assessment and more an opportunity for him to announce his return to the grassroots troops he deeply loves!
But this seemingly ordinary opening speech caused a huge uproar in the nearby queue!

Whether it was the military officers who came with Wang Chuan or the leaders of the 13th Group Army who accompanied the inspection, they all looked at Zhao Weihong's bare cadet rank on his shoulder with perfect understanding!

Compared to the gleaming gold epaulets on the shoulders of the other cadres, the extremely bright red on Zhao Weihong's shoulder was truly eye-catching!

At this moment, it truly is a scene of countless generals and officers.

However, it was Zhao Weihong, whose military rank was completely unadorned, who became the undisputed "protagonist" of the entire event, attracting the attention of countless people!

"Let one student lead the team?"

"Commander Guan, your troops are just like you, unconventional and unorthodox!"

Upon seeing this, a military officer who usually didn't get along with Guan Jiwu immediately started making sarcastic remarks.

This is a military district-level assessment, which can be considered the end of the military career for countless people.

It's absolutely outrageous to put an intern who isn't even a full-fledged cadre in charge of leading a team!
This is a real chance to show off in front of Wang Chuan, the deputy SL of the military region!

Regardless of whether this was an arrangement made by Guan Jiwu to deliberately attract attention.

The commander of the Second Company, and even higher-ranking officers of the 446th Regiment, willingly gave up this opportunity to a trainee.

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Guan Jiwu merely sneered, showing no interest in paying attention to the other party, and instead turned his gaze intently to the spirited Zhao Weihong.

In fact, the decision to have Zhao Weihong lead the team for reference was made on short notice within the Second Company, and Guan Jiwu was unaware of it.

Looking at it now, Guan Jiwu suddenly realized that this was indeed a "miracle move" that could leave countless people speechless.

It's time to teach these arrogant guys a lesson!

Seeing Guan Jiwu's confident demeanor, some cadres who knew him fairly well pondered for a moment before turning their increasingly eager gazes toward Zhao Weihong, who was not far away!
True.

Witnessing a trainee lead a team to participate in a training exercise is an unprecedented experience for countless officers in their military careers.

But putting aside the sensational appearance, the fact that Zhao Weihong could stand in that position can only prove one thing.

Compared to the Second Company, which had two top leaders in charge of military and political affairs, the Second Company was different.

Zhao Weihong, this "unknown" intern, is more qualified to represent the entire Second Red Company on this grand stage!
Upon thinking of this, someone immediately began to rapidly recall the name Zhao Weihong, and then revealed a look of horror!

Is it possible?
Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of the surrounding officials.

Wang Chuan, who had kept a straight face ever since he met Guan Jiwu, finally showed a slight genuine smile. Regardless of whether Zhao Weihong could see it or not, he nodded slightly in Zhao Weihong's direction.

卫红
haven't seen you for a long time!

For some reason, Wang Chuan suddenly couldn't help but think of his old enemy and comrade-in-arms—

Zhou Kehu.

Recalling Zhou Kehu's heartbroken and reluctant expression, Wang Chuan's smile became even more pronounced!

So many years!
Zhao Weihong has finally become my man!
In particular, Zhao Weihong was standing right in front of Wang Chuan at that moment, ready to receive his inspection and assessment.

This made Wang Chuan's feeling of "dream come true" even more real!
Looking at the cadres around him who were discussing amongst themselves, Wang Chuan smiled faintly with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "This little scene has already intimidated you all?"
You really haven't seen the world!

Regardless of the circumstances, Zhao Weihong does not yet have a formal rank or position.

Despite his ability to win the hearts and minds of everyone in the Second Company, who considered him the undisputed platoon leader, he still managed to command respect.

However, Zhao Weihong inevitably felt somewhat constrained in certain specific tasks.

For example, Zhao Weihong, who was not a formal officer, was not qualified to attend the "handover meeting" held regularly every Monday morning by the 446th Regiment, and had to rely on Hu Yiming to relay the specific content to him.

in other words.

Zhao Weihong is still being "restricted" at present.

After he completes his thesis defense and is officially assigned a rank and grade six months later, that will be the time for Zhao Weihong to unleash his full potential and show his true abilities!
Wang Chuan was also very much looking forward to seeing what surprises Zhao Weihong, who had clearly grown a lot, would bring him in the remaining years of his military career!
"Execute according to plan!"

"Yes!"

They exchanged military salutes with Director Lin, who had no expression on his face.

Zhao Weihong ran back to her command post, shouting loud slogans, and led the Second Company to begin the final preparations before the assessment.

Get your number and carry your equipment.
Compared to regular training.

This time, the Second Company spent an unusually long time on the "carrying equipment" part.

According to the assessment outline, the load carried by the Second Company during this five-kilometer armed mountain raid can be divided into two parts.

The burden of daily life, and the burden of combat.

The living load naturally consists of logistical equipment such as water bottles, shoulder bags, and backpacks. Items such as individual first aid kits, raincoats, sleeping bags, dry rations, and flashlights are already prepared in advance, so you only need to wear them to start the assessment immediately, which is quite convenient.

The real challenge lies in managing the combat load.

Weapons, ammunition, grenades, and even gas masks!

Due to the need for strict control over live ammunition during routine training, the Second Company of the Red Army could not carry live ammunition for training.

It's not that I'm afraid someone will hoard the bullet, nor that someone will accidentally fire it; it's that I'm afraid they'll lose the bullet!

However, when it comes to the assessment stage that strives to simulate actual combat, one must strictly follow the "Individual Combat Load Table" in the assessment outline and carry the prescribed weapons and ammunition according to different combat roles.

It took more than ten minutes just to count and collect the ammunition under the supervision of the examiners.

After the assessment, the number of magazines, spare ammunition, and even grenades will be checked. If any item is missing, points will be deducted from the total score of 30 points for the 5-kilometer armed mountain march.

In this regard, the rocket launcher operators in the company had it the easiest job.

You don't even need to bring a gun. Just carry a rocket launcher and three rockets. If you manage to lose those, forget about nuclear weapons. You should probably focus on writing your discharge report!

The most arduous task, however, was for the soldiers in the heavy machine gun squad.

Not only did they have to carry the Type 89 heavy machine gun, which weighed over 50 kilograms, but they also had to carry ammunition, ammunition boxes, and an entrenching shovel for each person.
Throughout the entire company, the heavy machine gun squad had the highest average load per person, nearly thirty kilograms!

As for the other soldiers, they weren't having an easy time either; the lowest full gear load was around 25 kilograms.

Fortunately, the officers in charge of grassroots units are no longer equipped with pistols.

Otherwise, Hu Yiming would have to carry an extra load of pistol ammunition, which would be a real hassle!

After the members of the Second Company of the Red Army finally received their equipment and painstakingly put it on,

Director Lin, who had been observing indifferently, suddenly ordered the Second Company to unload their backpacks and satchels, saying that he wanted to inspect the contents!
Upon hearing this, Wang Fei and the others were momentarily stunned, but their eyes immediately turned red! "I finally managed to put on the gear, and now you want me to take it off?"
What were you doing earlier?
It wasn't that Wang Fei and the others were irritable; it was mainly that Director Lin's order was really causing them a lot of trouble!

It should be noted that all the soldiers in the Second Company, including Zhao Weihong, are now fully equipped.

The water bottle, shoulder bag, backpack, and other items also contained their own weapons and ammunition. The ammunition pack was stuffed with magazines, grenades, and even rockets!
With so many pieces of equipment, you can imagine how difficult it would be to put them on.

Normally, it takes two people to help each other to adjust the gear to the most comfortable and convenient state for marching.

As a result, Director Lin didn't bring it up earlier or later, but waited until everyone in the Second Company had put on their equipment before bringing up the matter of inspection.

The thought of having to go through the tedious process of putting on and taking off the gear again after removing it is unbearable.
Every single soldier in the Second Company felt a surge of anger rising within them, and their gazes toward Director Lin grew increasingly hostile!

Facing the fierce gazes, Director Lin, who wore the rank of senior colonel, remained completely calm. He looked directly at Zhao Weihong, who also had an unfriendly expression, and spoke in a low voice.

"Comrade Zhao Weihong."

"Are you not even planning to participate in the assessment?"

Lore!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Second Red Army, no matter how much grievance and resentment they felt, had to obediently swallow it back!
Despite his rank, Director Lin was not the highest among the officers on the battlefield.

But as the "chief examiner," he was undoubtedly the highest leader in terms of assessment, and even the commander of the 13th Group Army could not change his decision!

He stared intently at the composed Director Lin.

Zhao Weihong clenched her hands tightly together, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Remove gear!"

The sky above the camp gate was instantly filled with resentment!

Although Wang Fei and the others obediently followed Zhao Weihong's orders, they still glared angrily at Director Lin and even the examiners behind him!

Director Lin's next move pushed the anger in the hearts of all the members of the Second Company to its climax!

A handbag? Open it!

Backpack? Open it!

At this crucial juncture when the assessment is about to begin.

Director Lin fully demonstrated his "not afraid of trouble" or "nitpicking" work style, and began to conduct a thorough inspection of the equipment of all members of the Second Red Company!
What's even more outrageous is that this son of a bitch actually brought an electronic scale over!

Everyone's gear had to be weighed and checked, and even the water bottles had to be unscrewed to see if they were full of water.

This is the greatest insult to the soldiers who have trained hard all winter!

Even Zhao Weihong showed a very obvious hint of anger on her face!

From the perspective of rules and regulations, Zhao Weihong could understand Director Lin's behavior.

It's simply because they're afraid the Second Red Company might falsify data, which would be unfair to other units participating in the assessment.

If Zhao Weihong were to be the examiner, she might examine the papers even more thoroughly than he did.

But from an emotional standpoint, Zhao Weihong found it hard to accept Director Lin's behavior at that moment!
Because Director Lin could have used other, more acceptable methods to conduct the inspection.

Instead of tormenting these soldiers whom Zhao Weihong is so proud of, as if they were harboring personal grudges!

In an instant, an eerie silence fell over the area above the camp entrance!

On one side were the examiners, led by Director Lin, who were meticulously inspecting each piece of equipment.

On the other side, the Second Company of the Red Army remained equally silent.

However, beneath this silence lies a raging fire of anger that could erupt at any moment!

at last.

The anger in everyone's hearts had reached its peak and was about to be unleashed.

Director Lin finally stood up and announced it expressionlessly.

"Check passed!"

"The assessment will begin in five minutes!"

There was absolutely no need for Zhao Weihong to give the order.

Almost the instant Director Lin finished speaking, the soldiers of the Second Company of the Red Army began to throw the various pieces of equipment scattered on the ground back onto themselves with extremely fierce movements!
Zhao Weihong originally wanted to give a simple pep talk.

But looking at those faces full of anger, Zhao Weihong knew that it was no longer necessary!
Several figures were also gathered on the mountain road outside the camp.

A white horizontal line appeared on the mountain path beneath their feet.

Zhao Weihong led the "murderous" Second Company of the Red Army out of the camp and stood in front of the horizontal line.

In front of me was an empty mountain path.

Behind him stood a group of examiners, as well as countless leaders waiting for the assessment results!
Heavy responsibility and pressure
These very things that once inspired the Second Red Company to move forward were completely forgotten the moment they stood before the starting line.

From now on.

Only one thought remained in their minds.

That is to win back the honor that belongs to them on this mountain road that they have run countless times!

"Everyone is in your place!"

"preparation!"

"boom!"

The sound of the starting pistol was the command that the soldiers had been waiting for!
With suppressed anger, the Second Company of the Red Army charged out of the starting line in unison, as fierce as tigers unleashed from their cages!
They didn't just run around aimlessly; instead, they quickly adjusted their gear according to the training plan.

Wang Fei, whose physical fitness was quite outstanding, pulled out his backpack rope and dragged his relatively "weak" instructor as they ran for their lives!
In group assessments, the score of the last person in the group is taken.

Even if Zhao Weihong could break the army's record on the mountain road, it wouldn't help the Second Company's overall performance in the slightest!

This is the biggest difference between assessment and competition!

It's less about assessing an individual's qualities.

Rather, it was an assessment of what kind of contribution these running soldiers could make to the collective.

Names and code names are no longer important to these soldiers who are running.

From this moment forward, those of them who are running will share a common and extremely glorious title.

Red Second Company!
