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

Chapter 277 The Recruit Company's Comprehensive Assessment - Sharpshooter Fourth Company
"What did you say?"

Gong Jian stared at Wang Yanbing with disbelief.

Wang Yanbing, sweating profusely and panting heavily, said, "Instructor, squad leader, you'd better go check on him quickly. He Chenguang is lying on the ground and can't get up."

"Isn't this ridiculous? Everyone else is eating, Old Hei is coming with me!"

The two ran out.

Old Hei ran along with a grim expression, saying, "How could these two fight?"

Gong Jian said with a dark face, "He Chenguang has always been arrogant and impetuous. Before joining the army, he was a college sports student and a national martial arts champion. But his taekwondo is nothing but fancy moves to real special forces soldiers."

"Platoon Leader Xu may have been on the battlefield; you should be able to tell."

Old Hei sighed, "He's too young, someone who's been on the battlefield during peacetime. There's always a murderous intent brewing deep in his eyes."

When the two ran to the shooting range, they saw He Chenguang lying motionless on the ground.

Feng Yuxiu stood five meters away, expressionless.

"Platoon Leader Xu, is this enough?" Gong Jian asked coldly.

Old Hei rushed forward, squatted down to check on him, and found that He Chenguang was not seriously injured, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

"He Chenguang, where are you injured?"

He Chenguang remained staring blankly at the sky.

Feng Yuxiu glared at Gong Jian with a ferocious look, "Isn't this kind of pampered soldier the kind you despise? Is it wrong for me, as a platoon leader, to educate new recruits?"

Gong Jian gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted, "He Chenguang, get up!"

He Chenguang then slowly stood up.

"What happened?" Gong Jian demanded.

He Chenguang's voice was dejected, "Instructor, I asked the platoon leader for advice. I'm no match for him."

Gong Jian frowned. "What's going on? If you have nothing to do, hurry up and go to the canteen. Write a self-criticism and hand it in tonight. This is the army, not a free market."

"Yes."

Helpless, He Chenguang turned around and walked towards the cafeteria.

When he turned his back, the expression on his face turned ferocious and resentful.

Just one kick!
All the skills he had learned and the physical abilities he had developed were of no use in front of this platoon leader.

He kicked him three meters away, sending him crashing into the sandpit.

The gap was so large that it completely destroyed all his confidence.

Looking at Feng Yuxiu's retreating figure, Gong Jian suddenly laughed.

"Instructor, what are you laughing at?"

Gong Jian stretched and said, "Now I understand why we seconded this platoon leader. He can extinguish the arrogance of any soldier by himself. He is a talent, a true king of soldiers."

Old Hei frowned. "But he's so unsociable. Since he arrived, he's never interacted with any of the platoon leaders. After training, he stays alone in the dormitory."

"He seems to have autism."

Gong Jian smiled. "Talented people are often lonely. He's so young, he naturally has his own ideas. We need to be careful what we say in the future. We need to make him feel the camaraderie of comrades, and not just see him as a passerby."

"This might be the Iron Fist's chance."

Two months later.

field.

The red flag of the "Sharpshooter Fourth Company" fluttered in the wind.

In front of the infantry fighting vehicle, veterans from a platoon of the 4th Sniper Company stood at attention, armed with various weapons and their faces painted with camouflage. Snipers and spotters stood at the rear of the column, wearing camouflage ghillie suits with strips of cloth.

The mechanized infantry squad was fully equipped with all its weapons, including pistols, light machine guns, Type 88 general-purpose machine guns, 40mm mortars, anti-tank missiles, and sniper rifles, which were laid out in front of the ranks.

Gong Jian led the recruits in standing in neat rows.

Feng Yuxiu's gaze, however, was fixed on the sniper rifle in the distance.

He had become accustomed to the immense deterrent power of WO3 and now looked down on this sniper rifle.

The recruits stood on the opposite side, dazzled by the neatly arranged machine guns.

Wang Yanbing stared wide-eyed at the sniper standing at the rear of the line, "Look, look, that gun is so long..."

Li Erniu stared wide-eyed. "What kind of gun is that? It's not a rifle, is it? Look, it even has binoculars with it."

He Chenguang laughed and said, "Brother Niu, that's a sniper rifle, also known as a sniper rifle."

"Oh, why are you dressed like a beggar? Are the conditions in the army still this tough?"

“That’s a ghillie suit,” He Chenguang explained.

"Huh? What does 'ghillie suit' mean?"

"It's all for good luck, understand?" Wang Yanbing said with a sly smile.

"I understand now. It's the same principle as the old saying in the countryside, 'A bad name makes a good living.' Even in tattered clothes, one can still survive!" Li Erniu suddenly realized.

He Chenguang couldn't help but laugh: "You can't argue with that, can you? Practice makes perfect! Erniu's one sentence hit the nail on the head regarding the essence of ghillie suits!"

"I was just talking nonsense, just talking nonsense..." Li Erniu said, embarrassed.

"Is it ridiculous? Isn't it ridiculous?" Old Hei walked over and stared at the three of them.

The three of them immediately shut their mouths.

"To take down the enemy, you must see your target, but you can't let your target see you! This suit can hide you, make you a tree, a stone, mud, dust—on the battlefield, this suit can save your life! Do you still find it funny?"

"I'm sorry, class monitor, we were wrong!" He Chenguang puffed out his chest and admitted his mistake.

"Let me tell you, if you continue to be this lazy, I'll have Platoon Leader Xu give you a good workout!"

As soon as Lao Hei said that, all three of them turned to look at Feng Yuxiu in the distance.

Fear was evident in the eyes of all three.

He Chenguang was knocked out with a single kick; who could stand that?
Moreover, the news has spread throughout the recruit training camp that this stern-faced Platoon Leader Xu has killed someone.

What does a serving platoon leader who has killed someone mean in this era? For soldiers in grassroots companies, that's what they're respected for.

"Old Hei, continue," Gong Jian said in a deep voice after glancing at him.

Old Hei nodded and walked up to the veteran. "Today I'll explain the composition of an infantry squad to you, and I'll also introduce you to the Sharpshooter Fourth Company." The Sharpshooter Fourth Company was something I'd heard about since I joined the army as a new recruit.

The best company in the Iron Fist Regiment is the Sharpshooter Fourth Company; even the pig farmers and cooks are sharpshooters.

Moreover, the chances of getting into it are extremely small; only a handful of people are fortunate enough to be recruited into the four-person team of sharpshooters each year.

The veterans of the Fourth Company stood there, eyes fixed straight ahead, glaring menacingly.

Old Hei gave the order: "Let's begin!"

"I am the squad leader of the first squad of the first platoon of the fourth company of sharpshooters. My weapons are the Type 95 automatic rifle and the Type 92 pistol! I am responsible for commanding the third squad of infantry and carrying out combat operations under the orders of the company commander!"

"I am the deputy squad leader, and my weapons are a Type 95 assault rifle and a Type 92 pistol! My duty is to assist the squad leader in command!"

"I am the machine gunner, and my weapon is the Type 88 general-purpose machine gun! My duty is to provide fire support and cover for the entire squad!"

"I am the spotter in the infantry sniper team. My weapons are a Type 95 assault rifle, a Type 92 pistol, an Type 85 laser rangefinder, and landmines, etc."

Feng Yuxiu fell silent.

In the 702nd Regiment, they were still using the Type 81 machine gun and the Type 81 rifle.

Only the elite A-team uses the Type 95 assault rifle.

Now, an entire company in an Iron Fist Regiment is equipped with Type 95 rifles.
Everyone stared excitedly at the last veteran.

The gun he held was different from the others; it was long and had a telescope attached to it.

This gun is definitely more powerful than the others, after all, it's very special.

"I am the leader of the infantry squad sniper team, a sniper. My weapons are the Type 88 sniper rifle, the Type 92 pistol, and a submachine gun for close combat."

Looking at the sniper rifle, Li Erniu's mouth dropped open. "My god, that's so awesome."

Both Wang Yanbing and He Chenguang began to tremble.

Men have an unwavering love for firearms.

The romance amidst the clash of gunfire always seems to take away the withering of life.

Nothing sends your adrenaline soaring more than death after pulling the trigger.

"Alright, that concludes the introductions. Now, please let the instructor introduce the Sharpshooter Fourth Company! Let's give them a round of applause!"

Gong Jian walked over from the back of the line: "No need to applaud, we all know each other, it's not like we're meeting for the first time."

I am very glad that you have spent more than two months in this recruit company. The changes that have taken place in you are obvious to all and you yourselves can feel them.

Your three-month basic training is coming to an end, and you will soon become official soldiers of the People's Liberation Army.

You all endured a lot of hardship in this recruit company, and I am very grateful for your support and cooperation in my work.

Although it was all just platitudes, everyone listened very attentively.

"You are about to be assigned to a unit, which means that your military career, which will last for the next two years or even longer, is about to begin."

The Iron Fist Regiment is a Red Army regiment with a long history, and every company has a glorious past.

However, the Sharpshooter Fourth Company is the brightest star among the many outstanding companies in the Iron Fist Regiment! I say this not only because I served as the political instructor of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

That's right. I joined the army in the 4th Sharpshooter Company. Although I later joined a special operations brigade, went to military academy, studied abroad, and so on, I have now returned to the 4th Sharpshooter Company as an instructor.

I have a special feeling for the Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

The new recruits heard their instructor's resume for the first time, and he spoke with such pride and arrogance.

This is the glory he earned through his hard work.

Gong Jian enjoyed the new recruits' gazes, but when he glanced around, he saw Feng Yuxiu standing expressionless in the distance.

A voice echoed from the depths of his mind.

Have you ever seen a 24-year-old lieutenant colonel?

Gong Jian's tone paused instantly, and his proud introduction came to an abrupt end.

"Old Black, tell them the history of the Fourth Sharpshooter Company."

"Yes!" Lao Hei ran forward. "The Sharpshooter Fourth Company was founded in the Autumn Harvest Uprising of 1927. It is one of the Red Army companies personally established by Comrade Mao Zedong and one of the oldest companies in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"

The Autumn Harvest Uprising, the Central Red Army's five counter-encirclement campaigns, the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea—the glorious achievements of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company are left everywhere!

He tore off a piece of camouflage cloth from the blackboard, revealing a map of China with countless red arrows forming a dense network of lines, stretching across the Korean Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula.

The recruits were stunned.

"This is the glorious path that the Sharpshooter Fourth Company has traversed!" Gong Jian said calmly.

Old Hei looked at the veterans: "What is the company motto of the Fourth Sharpshooter Company?"

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail!" the veterans roared.

What was the belief of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company?

"One strike, one kill; I am invincible!"

What is the pride of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company?

"Invincible in battle, unconquerable in attack!"

The sound was deafening, and Feng Yuxiu unconsciously straightened his chest.

"Today's Sharpshooter Fourth Company is a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's rapid reaction force, an all-weather combat company, and a strategic reserve force that is ready to strike at any time, 24 hours a day."

The Sharpshooter Fourth Company can be deployed to any form of combat at any time without pre-battle training or reinforcements.

Whether it's a war mission or a non-war mission, my report is complete!

Old Hei raised his hand in salute.

Gong Jian returned the salute: "Enter the ranks!"

Gong Jian turned around and said, "Comrades, if you can join the Sharpshooter Fourth Company, it will be the most glorious experience in your military career. Therefore, the comprehensive assessment of the recruit company is the selection assessment for the Sharpshooter Fourth Company!"

"Comrades, I hope you will continue your efforts and be able to join my company! I welcome you all from the Sharpshooter Fourth Company!"

"Do you have confidence!?"

"Have!"

"Speak louder! Haven't you eaten yet?!" Gong Jian roared.

"have!!!"
