A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 20: Breaking the Army Record
"Everyone is here! Assemble!"

The sound of the trumpet pierced the stillness of the morning light,

"Emergency assembly!!!" Old Wei opened his eyes instantly and roared.

"Hurry! Speed!"

Li Meng and Xue Lin got out of bed and started to put on their clothes in a hurry.

"Where is that lonely man? Where did he go?" Li Meng squatted down and tried to wake up Feng Yuxiu, but found nothing.

"I don't know. Maybe he got up a long time ago." said Lao Wei.

"Is he made of iron? He got up at three in the morning last night, and it's only five now. He sleeps two hours a day? Isn't he afraid of sudden death?" Xue Lin looked incredulous.

"You're all so damn slow, can't you hear the emergency call?"

Old Ma roared outside the door.

The three of them didn't dare to say anything more. They put on their clothes, put on their backpacks and rushed out.

Feng Yuxiu had already stood beside Lao Ma, looking into the distance with an expressionless face.

"Let me tell you. The test starts at 8 o'clock and includes a five-kilometer forced march, shooting, and a 500-meter obstacle course."

"The order is 500 meters, 5 kilometers of forced march, and finally shooting. The results will be counted towards the assessment of the entire regiment."

"For those of you who are just wasting your time, this might be your last chance."

Old Wei twitched his lips. "Squad Leader, you're making these disturbing guesses again."

Li Meng shook his head. "No, no, this is the squad leader's encouragement to us. This is progress, comrades!"

"I said……"

“Shut up!!”

Xue Lin was about to say a few naughty words, but Lao Ma roared angrily.

The three of them then lowered their heads.

Old Ma laughed out loud in anger, "Guess? The entire army is about to undergo reforms, and you think this is just a game? This assessment is to weed out all this useless garbage like you!"

He changed the subject and looked at Feng Yuxiu, "Xu Sanduo, tell me."

Feng Yuxiu had a blank expression on his face, still that deadpan expression. "When does it start?"

Old Ma paused, "Xu Sanduo, although I heard you're a good runner, the last item is shooting... As long as you excel in the first two, even if you fail the last one, the examiners will remember it."

Seeing that Feng Yuxiu still had no intention of talking to them.

Lao Ma could only nod and say, "It should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a car roared outside.

It was one of those old-fashioned green military vehicles with a tarpaulin.

They were all taken into the car.

Three veterans got off the car to temporarily replace them in guarding.

Covered with yellow sand, the car drove towards the regiment headquarters.

"Sergeant, do you know Xu Sanduo?" As soon as Lao Ma entered the carriage, he found an old soldier staring at Feng Yuxiu and couldn't help but ask.

The old soldier scoffed, "I thought you were so amazing. No company could find you, so you ended up in this place."

Feng Yuxiu recognized the veteran in front of him.

It was the one who washed his feet when he first arrived at the recruit company.

I didn't expect this person to hold such a grudge.

It seems that in this era, veterans have particularly bad tempers.

"You must do well in this assessment. I hope you can be assigned to the same group as me!" The veteran came forward and said provocatively with a wink.

"Do you dare to get out of the car and practice with me now?" Feng Yuxiu said coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire carriage fell into dead silence.

Old Wei subconsciously tugged at Feng Yuxiu's sleeve, "Don't be like that. He's a veteran, he's definitely better than you."

"After all these years, I've only managed to become a non-commissioned officer. What? You're so vindictive? Come on, kill me."

Feng Yuxiu stood up and leaned over to stare at the old soldier.

The old soldier narrowed his eyes and said, "When I get a chance, boy, I'll catch up with you at the regimental headquarters! Wait!"

"Xu Sanduo, sit down quickly!" Lao Ma hurriedly pulled Feng Yuxiu.

Several people moved to the side, away from the old soldier who was looking for trouble.

That's how the army is, they act the moment they see it.

If you can convince me, that's fine.

Are you convinced? Then I'll get up and keep going!
Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that the army of this era would be so violent.

A burning excitement suddenly surged in his heart. He loved it!

There was no other friction along the way.

It took two and a half hours to reach the regiment headquarters.

"Xu Sanduo, take the test seriously. This one will determine your fate. I can see that you are different from those who just get by. Class 5 is just a stopover for you."

Old Ma pulled Feng Yuxiu aside and gave him some advice.

"If I come first in this assessment, will that count as part of yours?"

Old Ma's face flushed instantly, and he hurriedly shook his head, "I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it. Anyway, I have made up my mind. I am not going to mess around any more. I will also work hard on this assessment."

During the preparation time, Feng Yuxiu stood in the distance and slowly scanned the area.

He is looking for the old soldier.

Since you are so vindictive, let’s take action during the five-kilometer forced march.

Soon the classes were reassigned and the assessment lasted a whole day.

After eating some dry food I brought with me.

Shi Jin found Feng Yuxiu.

"Are you still blaming me for not leaving you in the 7th Steel Company?" Shi Jin asked in a deep voice, looking at the soldier whose face was covered with rough scars.

Feng Yuxiu shook his head, "I like to make my own choices."

"After this assessment, I should be in the 7th Steel Company."

Shi Jin frowned, "Comrade Xu Sanduo, it's OK for you recruits to just barely pass these tests. If you want to stay in the Seventh Steel Company, just passing them isn't enough."

Feng Yuxiu didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes and walked away.

Shi Jin sighed, "I don't know why the company commander asked me to come find him specifically."

-

"Hey, new recruit, you're in the same group with me?" The veteran grinned and patted his sleeves. "Remember, my name is Ma Jun, and I'm your team leader for this assessment. Be careful."

"Okay, I'll remember it." Feng Yuxiu's right hand was shaking, and his eyes were always on Ma Jun's Adam's apple.

"Tell me about it!"

A non-commissioned officer stepped forward, a red sleeve tied around his right upper arm. "Five hundred meter obstacle course, divided into three levels."

"Any time under 110 seconds or less is considered excellent."

"Under 120 seconds is good."

"Under 130 seconds is a passing score."

"There are seven sets of obstacles in total, one for each direction, for a total of 14 obstacles. They include cross-piles, trenches, low walls, high springboards, single-log bridges, high walls and low-piled nets."

"The order of passing includes running 100 meters, turning around the flag, crossing the three-step pile, crossing the trench, jumping over the low wall, passing the high board jump section, crossing the single-log bridge, climbing the high wall, crawling through the low pile net, and turning around the flag to return.

Cross a low-piled net, climb a high wall, go around the pillars under the single-plank bridge, pass a high plank platform, crawl through a hole, jump down and climb up a trench, cross a five-step pile, turn around the flag, and run 100 meters to the finish line.

"A team of seven, all doing it simultaneously!"

"ready, go!"

The veteran taking the assessment pressed the stopwatch.

boom!
Feng Yuxiu rushed out in an instant, and the explosive power of his legs created a five-centimeter pit in the soft sand under his feet.

"Fuck, this guy is so fast!"

Ma Jun was startled and rushed out as well.

"Who is that kid?" The veteran who was taking the assessment suddenly stood up.

"He's already stretched ten meters from the start. How is it possible that he's so fast?"

Feng Yuxiu's face was sinister. He jumped over the pole and flipped over.

"Fuck me!"

The cavalry was still on the way when Feng Yuxiu had already turned back.

With a cold glance, he rushed up the high wall.

"How many seconds?"

"Only...only 70 seconds. How could he be so fast?"

boom!
Feng Yuxiu ran madly until he stood outside the finish line and let out a light breath.

"One minute and thirty seconds! That broke the entire army record!"

This scene made Shi Jin, who came to inspect, stop in his tracks, his face full of disbelief.
