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

Chapter 482 The Ironclad Company, the Changing Company Commanders: The Selection Begins

Having witnessed countless deaths, Feng Yuxiu didn't know why he stood outside the ward for so long without going in.

He had arranged for the third platoon leader and his men to act as a suicide squad, exactly as he had anticipated the coming war.

The exercise is a real battle; this is an order instilled from the very beginning by the higher-ups.

The entire Seventh Company's decapitation operation was a success, but he didn't care, as he already had plenty of medals.

No amount of medals could elevate him further, but they could certainly provide a good home for the soldiers and officers of the Seventh Company.

After a long silence, he pushed open the door to the ward and went inside.

The third platoon leader had half his body in a cast, and the other two veterans also had their legs and arms bandaged.

"Company commander!"

Upon seeing Feng Yuxiu enter, the soldiers who were taking care of the third platoon leader all stood at attention and saluted.

Feng Yuxiu returned the gift and stood by the bed, looking at the three seriously wounded soldiers.

"Company commander, I... can't get up." The third platoon leader forced a smile, but half of his face was injured by the explosives, and blood slowly seeped out from under the gauze as he smiled.

Feng Yuxiu looked at the three soldiers and said without any nonsense or affectation, "Where do you want to go after you retire? I can get you a job in any unit. Don't tell me about the story of Kong Rong sharing pears. The most important thing after you take off your uniform is to earn money and support your family."

"Sentimental sentiments can't support a family."

Feng Yuxiu's opening remarks made the three veterans swallow their words of modesty.

Especially for these long-serving veterans, when faced with the choice, they seem to be unwilling to cause trouble for the country.

Most of them went back to their hometowns to find manual labor, but Feng Yuxiu felt that any assignment was their due.

Gao Cheng was able to find a good place for his soldiers back then, and so can he.

Although he didn't have a father figure like Gao Cheng, he had the right to speak that he earned with his life.

These injuries, which began in Wangdu Village, and the attention paid by the higher-ups made Feng Yuxiu realize that he was no longer an officer who could be discarded so easily.

The military needs him.

This era values ​​talent, geniuses, like Wu Zhe.

But more often than not, they are absolute weapons of war, after all, troops are the deadly weapons for expanding territory.

The platoon leader paused for a moment, then forced a smile. "Company commander, can I stay? I don't want to be discharged."

Feng Yuxiu turned around and said, “When you came here, I asked your attending physician. Since you can’t train because of one side of your body, it’s best for you to be an ordinary citizen. Even if you were allowed to stay, how many terms have you been in? You’ll have to leave sooner or later. It’s better to take advantage of the time now and try to get you better positions.”

The platoon leader slowly lowered his head. "If that's how you put it, then I can understand. Company Commander, you have the best military skills I've ever seen. It's a pity I can't stay in the army with you anymore. Um... Earlier this year, my dad said he'd find me a woman. My family is in Shanxi... As long as it's in Shanxi, I'll do anything."

Feng Yuxiu spoke calmly, "Where are you two?"

Normally, veteran officers are not guaranteed job assignments, but now that the three of them have carried out a decapitation mission with Feng Yuxiu, their collective and individual merits are sufficient.

"Company commander, we're also planning to stay closer to home. I've always wanted to be a policeman since I was a child."

"I'm also a company commander."

Feng Yuxiu nodded. "Okay, anything else?"

The third platoon leader looked up and said, "Company commander, this is enough. We won't trouble the country."

"Speak!" Feng Yuxiu's voice suddenly grew louder.

The third platoon leader had gotten to know Feng Yuxiu's temper over this period of time, "Then...then give him a suite..."

Housing prices weren't high back then, so Feng Yuxiu nodded. "Get some rest."

After that, he walked out.

Inside the ward, the other soldiers caring for the three wounded soldiers showed no envy; this was something they had earned by sacrificing their lives.

The third platoon leader felt no joy. If Feng Yuxiu hadn't come, he could have obtained these things and changed his class after retiring from the army.

He was originally a farmer in rural Shanxi, and Feng Yuxiu's promise was enough to elevate their ancestors from farmers to another social class.

But now, he saw Feng Yuxiu's power, and he saw the company commander who was younger than them but so awesome.

Once a man has seen a higher level of goal, he no longer cares about the previous one.

-

-

"All company assemble!"

A platoon leader whistled, and the sharp sound instantly stirred the silent Seventh Company.

"The company commander is back!!"

"I knew the company commander was alright! Awesome, awesome!"

They had never been so excited, never rushed down the mountain in such a unified manner.

In just fifty-seven or fifty-eight seconds, the entire company was standing in front of him.

Feng Yuxiu glanced around; their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

"The platoon leader."

"Present!" the platoon leader shouted as he marched out.

Where did the second platoon leader go?

The platoon leader paused for a moment, then said, "Company commander, he's in the regimental headquarters' solitary confinement room."

Feng Yuxiu nodded, then called out loudly, "Seventh Company, all of you, march in step, turn left, target: regimental headquarters!"

The long pupils of the row of people contracted, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

-

"Miao Lian, something's happened."

Chen Pai rushed into the reconnaissance company headquarters, panting and shouting.

Miao Lian looked up, frowning in displeasure. "Xiao Chen, you're getting more and more unruly. What's the big deal? Our company's main task right now is to focus on training and then select ten members from our company to prepare for the upcoming special forces selection."

"This is what matters to us."

Chen Pai stood silently in front of Miao Lian. "The Seventh Company Commander is back."

Miao Lian stared at Chen Pai in astonishment, "So fast? Last time we went to see him, he was seriously injured. How come he's been discharged after only a few days?"

"This isn't a big deal. Tell me, what happened to the Seventh Company Commander?"

Chen Pai took a deep breath. "He led the entire company to the regimental headquarters."

Miao Lian stood up. "The army group's commendation hasn't come down yet, but I heard it'll come down today. Is he planning to ask for a commendation? No, no, he's not that kind of frivolous person."

"What is he going to do? Let's go and see."

-

"Seventh Company Commander, where are you going?"

A major stood in front of Feng Yuxiu and reprimanded him.

Feng Yuxiu looked over and saw that this was his battalion commander.

"Battalion Commander, this has nothing to do with you. I'm going to the regimental headquarters to get an explanation."

"Nonsense! This is nonsense! How can you be so nonsensical? Come and tell me what you're going to the regimental headquarters for? Making such a big fuss, what is this if not nonsense!"

Feng Yuxiu looked at the battalion commander and said, "I'm not one to give long, tedious lectures. What did the second platoon leader do wrong in this exercise? Talking back to a superior is nothing, it's just a banishment to the solitary confinement room. What? The army won't let people talk?"

The battalion commander was stunned, his face filled with disbelief. "You did this for?"

"Yes." Feng Yuxiu said coldly.

"Come with me, the rest of you disperse."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company immediately turned around and headed back home.

Soldiers take obedience to orders as their primary duty. Although Feng Yuxiu is a company commander, no matter how much these soldiers admire him, they must unconditionally obey his orders immediately when facing a battalion commander.

Feng Yuxiu followed the battalion commander toward the regimental headquarters.

"Let's go back. It seems this won't escalate." Miao Lian stood on the shaded path, smiling.

Chen Pai sighed, "The morale of a company is entirely determined by the company commander. The previous Seventh Company never had such bravery and fighting spirit."

Miao Lian smiled. "You little rascal, are you indirectly referring to me?" "How dare I!" Chen Pai chuckled.

"Let's go." Miao Lian turned and walked towards the reconnaissance company.

Chen Pai had only taken two steps when he suddenly looked pained, clutched his waist, and began to tremble.

After gritting his teeth and enduring for a few minutes, he gasped for breath, slowly straightened up, and revealed a determined expression.

He was determined to go for the special forces selection; after so many years of preparation, no one could change his mind.

Regiment Headquarters.

The battalion commander knocked on the door of the regimental commander's office.

"Enter."

The gate opened, and the battalion commander went in first, followed closely by Feng Yuxiu.

All regimental commanders in the world are the same; Wang Qingrui, the commander of the 702nd Regiment, was always hunched over his desk studying documents.

The commander of the meritorious regiment remained seated at his desk.

He glanced up briefly, then looked down again. "Battalion Commander Li, I'm busy right now. You can go ahead."

"Yes."

The battalion commander turned and glanced at Feng Yuxiu. "Come with me."

Feng Yuxiu had no idea what the two leaders were up to until he saw the second platoon leader at the regimental headquarters' pig farm.

At this moment, the second platoon leader showed no signs of being in solitary confinement; he was enthusiastically feeding the pigs with feed.

"Oh, lao lao lao..."

While feeding the pigs, he shouted into the pigpen, and a large group of pigs began to gulp down their food.

"It's just a lesson learned. The Blue Army isn't our superior, so they can't interfere in such matters. But we can't ignore it either. The pig farm is short-handed, so we'll help out for a few days."

"Seventh Company Commander, your abilities are evident to the entire regiment. Especially this exercise, which truly made our regiment proud. When did our Red Team crush the Blue Team like this?"

"The regimental commander has a short temper, but you've been very gentle today. We're all in the same regiment; shouldn't we side with outsiders instead of our own?"

After the battalion commander finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it. "Take the man away."

Feng Yuxiu looked at the second platoon leader with his protruding buttocks and said, "No need, let him continue raising pigs."

After saying that, he turned and left. He didn't have any feelings for the second platoon leader. The cohesion that the Seventh Company had worked so hard to build up, and the motto of "never abandon or give up" was something he had passed down in the Seventh Company.

He didn't care what the second platoon leader did, but he couldn't let the soldiers of the seventh company see him as the platoon leader who, as the company commander, didn't care about the company and stood up for him.

Seeing that the second platoon leader was alright, he could go back.

The second platoon leader suddenly turned around, saw Feng Yuxiu's back, and quickly chased after him.

"Company commander, company commander..."

"Hello, battalion commander!"

As he passed Battalion Commander Li, he suddenly braked and gave a standard military salute.

Battalion Commander Li chuckled, "Go on, you brat."

"Yes!"

The red flag of the Night Tiger Company is waving vigorously!
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company stood in two neat rows.

The first ten were all dressed in camouflage, wearing helmets and carrying rifles; they were all handpicked elites.

The scouts in the back row were dressed in civilian clothes, their eyes fixed on their comrades in the front.

Miao Lian, dressed in civilian clothes with a military belt around his waist, stood at the front of the group with a tense expression and shouted: "Brothers! The annual military region special forces training camp is about to begin again! These ten brothers in front will represent our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company to endure the hard training and compete for those spots!"
Becoming a special forces soldier is an immense honor for us reconnaissance soldiers! Brothers, the glory of the special forces awaits you, and the black beret, an honor only elites deserve, is also waiting for you!

Of course, even tougher and more tiring days await soldiers ahead, but are we afraid? Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Miao Lian snapped to attention and saluted.

The ten elite soldiers in the front row immediately returned the salute.

Miao Lian lowered his hand and raised his voice: "Get in the car!"

Chen Pai stepped out of the ranks and shouted the command: "Training team, right turn! March!"

The elite soldiers turned right in a flash and ran towards the truck.

Xiao Zhuang walked at the back, his steps slow and he kept looking back at Miao Lian.

Miao Lian waved to him: "Hurry up and go, don't dawdle!"

Xiao Zhuang simply stopped the car and stammered, "Company Commander..."

Miao Lian's face darkened: "What are you looking at me for? Get in the car right now!"

Xiao Zhuang bit her lip: "I...can I not go?"

Miao Lian frowned: "Why don't you want to go?"

Xiao Zhuang's voice lowered slightly: "I...I can't bear to leave the reconnaissance company, and I can't bear to...I can't bear to leave you..."

Miao Lian felt a pang of guilt, but she still hardened her voice and said, "If we go to war tomorrow, and you can't bear to leave your mother, does that mean you won't go to the battlefield? Listen up, get in the car right now! That's an order!"

Xiao Zhuang clenched his fist and answered loudly, "Yes!"

After saying that, he climbed onto the truck.

With a bang, the truck bed panel slammed shut.

With the engine running, the truck slowly started moving.

Miao and the scouts in the back stood still, watching the truck drive away, without moving.

-

-

Seven in a row.

Feng Yuxiu stood in front of all the soldiers.

Yesterday, his demotion from his superiors came down, and as expected, he remains a temporary company commander.

A company commander who has served for eight months is considered an acting company commander.

After two months of training and selection, ten soldiers and officers stood before him, including the second platoon leader.

The platoon leader was too old and didn't have the confidence to go, so he gave the opportunity to the best scout in the seventh company.

"There's nothing to say. I've taught you everything. How you proceed from here is up to you. To be honest, I'm not a very qualified company commander. One exercise forced some of you to retire."

"But I have a clear conscience. At least I secured a good life for you veterans. I also earned your Seventh Company a collective second-class merit."

"No matter who succeeds me as company commander in the future, you must move forward according to your own goals. Either set your sights on a goal and follow it, or hurry up and retire while the policies are still good, so that you won't end up doing poorly after you retire."

"That's all. Those of you participating in the selection, come with me."

After finishing his sentence, Feng Yuxiu turned and walked towards the military vehicle.

The nine soldiers behind him immediately followed, but the entire Seventh Company seemed to be absorbed into the darkness, remaining silent and sparsely populated.

The moment Feng Yuxiu sat down in the car, the entire Seventh Company of soldiers moved.

With a single, unanimous voice, everyone turned and saluted.

"Company Commander, we can't bear to part with you!"

The overwhelming sound caused the other officers who came to pick up the car to look at each other in bewilderment, while Feng Yuxiu calmly gazed ahead.

"Let's go."

The car roared off and left the Seventh Company.

That night, the 100 soldiers of the Seventh Company, which had performed great feats, stood guard all night long.
