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

Chapter 493 The Lone Wolf Squad's Final Assessment: Feng Yuxiu's Tactical Command

"Crack!"

"Woo!!!"

Chen Guotai's whole body convulsed like a river fish breathing rapidly, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

His face flushed red, and the veins on his body bulged as he lay on the grass, biting down on the compacted soil.

"Spit it out, don't eat dirt! You'll choke to death!"

Feng Yuxiu was pressing down on Chen Guotai's back, dismantling his bones; the muscles on his back, which were lying flat, were bruised and swollen.

The bones were broken into pieces, and the vertebrae were dislocated along the main joints.

Chen Guotao is now medically paralyzed; he has lost sensation in the lower half of his body.

If Feng Yuxiu abandons the matter now, he can spend the rest of his life lying in bed waiting to die.

This extreme pain almost made Chen Guotai faint.

"Please! Let me die!! Please!"

Chen Guotai lowered his voice and howled, but dared not shout loudly.

It's the middle of the night. If he wakes up others and gets caught, the high school squad will definitely send him back to his original unit.

His obsession was to stay in the special forces, a dream he had since childhood.

Especially for someone like Chen Guotao, who has an exceptional ability to put things into practice, his belief is that he would rather break than bend, and he would rather die than fail to achieve his goal.

This is indeed similar to Cheng Cai in some ways.

"Come on, now it's time for the real treatment. What happened just now was only the prelude! You can't back out now."

Chen Guotao gritted his teeth, plunged his hands into the soil, and roared in a low voice, "Come on!!!"

Feng Yuxiu smiled slightly, "You said it yourself."

The next second, Chen Guotao straightened up, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

Seeing this, Feng Yuxiu was prepared and took out his weapon to bleed Chen Guotai's ten fingers one by one.

He regained consciousness shortly afterward.

Feng Yuxiu spoke calmly, "If you're awake, then let's continue. You can't fall asleep. If you do, I don't know if you'll die or become paralyzed. We need to understand every detail of this healing method."

"Hang in there."

In the latter half of the night, Chen Guotai felt that none of the tortures he had ever experienced in his life could compare to this.

Without anesthesia, his bones were disassembled one by one, then slowly straightened, and a small knife was used to bleed Chen Guotao's tailbone.

The inflammatory fluid mixed with bone was squeezed out along the bone joints.

"Take a deep breath. Pain is normal, and feeling like you don't want to live is normal too... Don't faint, I'm going to bleed you again, you..."

Feng Yuxiu suddenly froze. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the knife in his right hand. Then he slowly pulled it out. The cut was very delicate and there was no major bleeding, so he only needed to press it slightly.

However, just a moment ago, Feng Yuxiu had an impulse.

Perhaps it had been a long time since this kind of torture had been used, because Feng Yuxiu just couldn't help but want to peel the skin off Chen Guotai's entire back along his tailbone.

After taking a deep breath, Feng Yuxiu slowly put Chen Guotao's bones back in place.

Seeing Chen Guotao lying on the ground, too weak to get up, Feng Yuxiu grabbed a handful of dirt and wiped away the bloodstains.

"You can go back after lying down for a few hours, that's about enough... But you need to rest for a while after the collision today, and your spinal inflammation will get better after some rest."

Feng Yuxiu stared at Chen Guotai, who was half-dead on the ground, and said, "This is also the first time I've treated him like this. In the past, I always asked others for their methods. You are the first one to persevere. Your willpower is very good."

"Hehehe..."

Chen Guotai gritted his teeth and gasped for breath. The pain made him want to give up his life several times; it was worse than death.

"Did you learn all of this in the special forces?" Chen Guotai asked.

"No, I learned it from the pig butcher in the village. Let's take a break."

Feng Yuxiu turned and walked towards the tent; damn it, he needed to pee again.

-

-

Once all the training has reached a new level, the second phase of assessment will follow.

Unlike the first phase, this assessment is conducted in groups, one group after another.

At night.

The rookie team A stood neatly in front of the tent.

The high school team leader stood at the front of the line with a serious expression: "I don't have much to say. Tonight is your second phase of comprehensive training, which is basically an exam."

He glanced at his team members and said, "A police detective has been kidnapped by drug traffickers near the A32 border. Your mission is to rush in, rescue him, and bring him back safely."

The operation is codenamed Tropical Lightning, and your team is called Lightning.

Remember this: if you get caught, you're out of the running for the exam.

Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the newbies shouted at the top of their lungs.

The high school captain glanced at his watch: "The operation begins now. Here is your intelligence and mission instructions."

He handed a manila envelope to Feng Yuxiu: "You're in a tight spot, get in the car quickly. The helicopter is waiting at the airport. You can figure out what to do on the way."

Feng Yuxiu took the envelope. "Yes! Get in the car!"

The newbies quickly rushed into the car.

The car roared and sped off towards the airport, bumping along the way.

As the truck drove away, Gao Zhong remained expressionless. He picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "The rookies have set off, ready to hunt. Over."

A voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Received, over."

-

Above the jungle, the helicopter hovered close to the treetops before slowly descending.

The rookie team A members, fully armed, with camouflage paint on their faces and bodies, and carrying rifles, jumped off the plane one by one.

The helicopter had just dropped off the people when it immediately took off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yuxiu's face was also covered in camouflage. He held a gun and made several tactical hand gestures.

Chen Guotai understood immediately and was the first to rush out.

The other team members quickly formed a battle formation and charged forward with Chen Guotai.

Once inside the valley, someone set up a radio antenna, which swayed in the wind.

Feng Yuxiu put on his headset and shouted into the microphone: "Rookie Team A calling, please respond! Rookie Team A calling, please respond! We have reached the designated position and request further instructions. Over."

After a short wait, a response came through the earpiece: "Rookie Team A received. Remember, there is no retake opportunity. Over."

Feng Yuxiu took off his headphones and pulled out a plastic map card.

Special forces use these kinds of maps; they're not afraid of getting damp, and you can piece several together to make a complete map.

But as soon as he unfolded the map, his eyes widened in surprise.

The veteran leaned over for a look, measured it on the map, and couldn't help but gasp: "Good heavens, 90 kilometers?!"

Feng Yuxiu looked up at his team members: "The straight-line distance from where we are now to control point B is 90 kilometers."

He glanced at his watch. "It's 11:38 now. At this time of year, it usually gets dark around 6 p.m. That means we need to get there before it gets dark."

Qiangzi was stunned when he heard this: "90 kilometers as the crow flies? That's not a flat road!"

Xiao Zhuang was also bewildered: "This is mountainous jungle, we'll definitely have to take a detour, and who knows how far it will actually be!"

Deng Zhenhua looked displeased and cursed, "There are still those old birds lying in ambush along the way, who knows how many battles we'll have to fight! This is a fucking impossible mission! Who can finish it in such a short time?"

"Huang Kaixiang," Geng Jihui said calmly from the side.

Everyone turned to look at him, and Deng Zhenhua asked, "Who is he? I've never heard of him."

“He was the commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army Corps during the Long March.”

Geng Jihui explained, "Their regiment marched 160 kilometers through the mountains in two days and nights, breaking through enemy lines along the way. In the end, seventeen brave warriors captured the Luding Bridge. This is something that no military expert would consider impossible, but our predecessors did it."

After he said that, no one complained anymore, and everyone quieted down.

Feng Yuxiu ordered: "Travel light! Throw away all the dry rations and unused personal items!"

The team members quickly got to work, throwing away all the unnecessary items on the ground and keeping only the weapons and essential equipment.

Feng Yuxiu looked at Xiao Zhuang: "You'll be the scout. Be alert and pay attention to your surroundings."

Then he said to Qiangzi, "You stay with him and look after each other."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Let's go!"

Xiao Zhuang shouldered his gun, got up, and headed into the woods ahead.

Qiangzi followed closely behind him, and the rookies behind him followed one by one.

As darkness fell, they marched forward in single file through the pitch-black jungle. Meanwhile, a checkpoint was set up on the mountain road, where several special forces soldiers patrolled with their dogs.

No matter what kind of vehicle it is, all passing vehicles must stop and undergo strict inspection; not a single one will be overlooked.

Feng Yuxiu stared at the sentries below; this was rather interesting.

He didn't need to think too deeply; this should be the Lone Wolf Squad's final assessment.

The recruitment process for special forces in the three military regions follows the same pattern: after all the assessments and training are completed, the next step is to check the prospective special forces members.

However, the mental fortitude of special operations soldiers is much stronger than that of soldiers in grassroots units.

Therefore, most of the final assessments are essentially unique practical exercises.

Shouting slogans a hundred times on the training field is not as effective as experiencing actual combat.

Except for... Old A's.

Old A's last assessment was indeed on the border drug bust, which was also when the conflict between Feng Yuxiu and Scorpion began.

Thinking of scorpions, Feng Yuxiu seemed to have forgotten something...

It's been a long time since I've been in contact with Xu Baishun, but he's now a special forces officer, and the protection and avoidance of his family is arranged by the state.

Feng Yuxiu felt that he no longer owed Xu Baishun's family anything. Apart from this body, he had no kinship with Xu Baishun's family in his mind.

However, I still go back to visit Xu Erhe when I have time. This middle-aged man from the countryside has a kind of carefree and open-minded feeling about him.

Although it is 2004, the times have not yet moved away from the slow pace of life and lifestyle of the 90s.

In rural China, 100% of the villages are still full of life and warmth. If Feng Yuxiu weren't so stubborn, he would also like to move forward with the times at a slower pace.

On the mountain, Xiao Zhuang gently parted the bushes, his face covered in camouflage, only his eyes showing, staring intently down the mountain.

The people following behind also poked their heads out one after another, forming a line.

When Qiangzi saw the scene below the mountain, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Damn! This isn't a checkpoint, it's a complete trap!"

Deng Zhenhua, holding a sniper rifle, scanned the area below the mountain while thinking, "Those old foxes must have already set up an ambush here, waiting for us to walk right into their trap."

Shi Dafan chuckled beside him: "Just wait and see how they eat us newbies."

Feng Yuxiu stared down: "There's no way around this checkpoint, there's only one road, we have to force our way through..."

Chen Pai glanced at him, a little worried: "How are we going to charge? There's at least a platoon down there, and who knows how many veterans are hiding nearby? We only have Team A. If we charge in like this, we'll be surrounded!"

Geng Jihui chimed in, "It's precisely because they think we won't dare to charge head-on that we have to do this. Surprise attack, seek victory in danger! I think the captain makes a very good point."

Feng Yuxiu thought for a moment and added, "Just rushing over isn't enough; we need fast transportation. Running on foot definitely won't shake off their pursuit."

Feng Yuxiu took out a plastic map card, traced his index finger, which was wearing a tactical glove, across it, and finally pointed to a location: "There's a border police squadron 3 kilometers from here. They patrol the mountains on military horses, which are much more useful than cars and motorcycles in the mountains."

He looked up and said, "Where cars and motorcycles can't go, horses can! Let's go through the checkpoint and ride straight into the mountains!"

Qiangzi hesitated: "But the armed police have live ammunition. Can we really steal horses from their barracks?"

Geng Jihui said, "The military horses are silent comrades-in-arms to them. As long as we ride on the horses, they will definitely not dare to fire, for fear of hurting the horses."

Feng Yuxiu looked at everyone: "This is our only chance. Does anyone have any objections?"

No one spoke up; they all tacitly accepted this approach.

Feng Yuxiu nodded: "Okay! Now let's make this clear, we need to sneak into the armed police squadron and get the horses out. No matter what, we can't fire a shot. If we attract live ammunition from the armed police, things will get really complicated. Once we succeed, we'll immediately scatter all the horses and ride into the mountains in the herd! Do you all understand?"

Everyone lowered their voices and replied, "Understood!"

Feng Yuxiu waved his hand, and the group of people quietly slid down the hillside and disappeared into the woods.

"You'll be in charge of a small team. Don't be nervous, it's just an assessment." Feng Yuxiu looked at Chen Guotai.

Chen Pai nodded. "Understood."

-

-

The 3-kilometer mountain road was nothing to the rookie team A. They jogged along and soon saw the silhouette of the armed police station.

Chen Pai picked up the binoculars to observe.

At the entrance to the garrison, sentries stood ramrod straight with their guns at the ready, behind them a high wall with an electric fence, and searchlights swept back and forth.

There were no lights on in the camp; it looked like the armed police were all asleep.

He put down his binoculars and gave commands in sign language.

Xiao Zhuang, Qiangzi, and Lao Pao understood immediately and crouched down to their positions. Deng Zhenhua, carrying a sniper rifle, kept watch, observing the surrounding movements. Geng Jihui pulled out a rope gun and aimed it at the target below.

Chen Pai put the rappelling ring on his hand and picked up his binoculars to keep an eye on the camp, afraid that something might go wrong.

Three dark figures moved slowly along the wall at the base of the armed police garrison.

Xiao Zhuang looked up at the electric grid on the wall, where sparks occasionally flashed. He turned back and said in a low voice, "The grid is powered on; we need to cut off the power first."

Qiangzi looked around and said, "Judging from this, the electricity must be supplied by their own generator. There are no power lines outside, so it can't be cut off."

Xiao Zhuang stared at the vigilant sentry at the door, pondering a solution.

The old man patted him on the shoulder: "You're not thinking of lining up to go over and say hello to them, are you?"

Xiao Zhuang grinned: "That's a good idea!"

Qiangzi laughed too: "Okay, let's do it this way!"

The two followed Xiao Zhuang out of the darkness and swaggered toward the gate.

The sentry's eyes widened as he saw three army soldiers in camouflage approaching. He reached out to stop them: "Which unit are you from?"

Xiao Zhuang stood at attention and replied, "Report! We are trainees from the Army Special Forces Training Team."

What are you doing here?

“We got lost in the mountains and ran out of food. We saw some troops here and thought we’d come here to find some hot food.”

The sentry couldn't help but laugh: "You want to be a special forces soldier? How can you get lost? Wait, I'll make a call and ask."

Xiao Zhuang and his group took the opportunity to walk to the guard post and wait.

A moment later, the sentry ran back: "Go in. Xiao Gao, take them to the canteen. Don't call the cooks, just heat up some steamed buns."

Another sentry named Xiao Gao responded and ran over: "Come with me."

The three rookies followed Xiao Gao and swaggered into the camp.

Xiao Gao walked in front, and Xiao Zhuang followed behind, his eyes darting around as he memorized the layout of the camp.

Without turning his head, he made a few hand gestures behind his back with his left hand, and Qiangzi and Laopao immediately understood.

As they reached a dark corner, Xiao Zhuang suddenly made his move, rushing forward and pressing a towel soaked in ether to Xiao Gao's mouth.

Xiao Gao didn't even utter a sound before collapsing into Xiao Zhuang's arms.

-

On the other side, a policeman was feeding horses next to the stable when suddenly a hand reached out from behind, covered his mouth with an ether-soaked towel, and dragged him to the ground.

Xiao Zhuang, Qiangzi, and Lao Pao emerged from the darkness, their camouflage paint looking somewhat frightening in the night.

The horses were startled, and they retreated, snorting and pawing at the ground.

On the hillside, Feng Yuxiu saw this scene through his binoculars and ordered, "They've succeeded! Fire!"

Geng Jihui immediately raised his rope gun, aimed at the eaves of the horse stable, and pulled the trigger. The grappling hook, carrying a thin steel cable, flew out and firmly hooked onto the eaves.

A black steel cable taut instantly.

Chen Pai put the rappelling buckle on the steel cable, and Shi Dafan chuckled as he put his on his own.

Chen Pai turned to the remaining men and said, "You guys go to the door to provide backup."

Geng Jihui nodded, then turned and led his men toward the door.

Chen Pai grabbed the steel cable and slid down in one go, followed closely by Shi Dafan. The two of them, like two black eagles, landed lightly on the ground with their military boots.

They dropped the rappelling rings and quickly crawled into the horse pen.

Xiao Zhuang and his two companions were busy saddled the horses when they saw Chen Pai and Shi Dafan come in, and they didn't even have time to say anything.

The five men worked together to quickly saddle all 12 horses, then mounted their horses, grabbed the reins, and charged out.

Before leaving, Chen Pai took out a tear gas canister and threw it into the horse pen.

The tear gas canisters exploded, releasing white mist, and the horses, startled, neighed and rushed out of the gate.

The camp was thrown into chaos, filled with the sound of horses' hooves.

The novice clung tightly to the horse's back, mingling with the galloping herd, and rushed out through the gate.

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that these soldiers from various units could cooperate so well after such a short period of training.

"That's interesting." Feng Yuxiu smiled. He began to wonder why the team leader, who clearly knew his background, would put on such a childish test.

If this continues, none of the newbies here will be eliminated.

"I hope you can give me a surprise, instead of resorting to the old tricks of arresting and interrogating people."
