Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

"Well said," Gao Cheng strode from the last row to the front of the company headquarters activity room.

"What are we? We are soldiers."

A soldier's mission is never limited to the battlefield amidst gunfire! Wherever the enemy is, that's where our battle will be! The anti-drug police officers in the film, equipped with inferior gear to the enemy, still dared to charge forward. What gave them the confidence? It was the courage to protect the people behind them!

Why do we practice obstacle courses, infantry-tank coordination, live-fire shooting, and armed cross-country running?

Is it just to get excellent grades in the assessment, or to get first place in the exercise?

No, that's not it. We hone all our skills so that when we're really fighting, we can smash them all to pieces and crush them on the ground!

This is to prevent the tragedy depicted in the video from happening to any other Chinese citizen!

"Yes, kill them! Kill them!" the soldiers roared.

"Very well, that's all for today's movie screening. You should all think about it carefully. We are supported by the taxes paid by the people."

Did you put your heart into training? Are you worthy of the military uniform you wear?

In addition, there's still some time before dinner, so Yunzheng will lead the team out for a five-kilometer run to get some exercise so they won't lose their appetite later.

Remember, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime! Dismissed!

"yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison, then marched out of the company headquarters activity room in neat steps and headed straight for the parade ground.

Hong Xingguo said hello and went to the company headquarters office to be on duty. Only Gao Cheng, Zhang Anbang and Shi Jin remained in the large company headquarters activity room.

"How about it, Company Commander? How tough is my soldier this time? Isn't he awesome?" Shi Jin's face was beaming with barely suppressed joy.

"Fine, fine, fine, that's enough," Gao Cheng said with a helpless nod.

At this moment, he had to admit that his judgment of soldiers was not as good as Uncle Wang's or Shi Jin's. Who would have thought that the soldier usually looked so listless and cowardly?

When I saw those images of killing, I wasn't afraid at all; instead, I prepared to fight and kill the enemy.

Looking at Shi Jin's smiling face, Gao Cheng used to think it was quite nice, but now it was really annoying. Thinking about that soldier's performance, Gao Cheng had something to say and started to speak.

"Well, I admit, he does have some guts, but it's no use. His grades... well, what was it again? He was willing but unable. He couldn't even get excellent grades in the Seventh Company, so he was just so-so."

"Uh," Shi Jin's smile stopped. He was also a little helpless. After a month of training, Xu Sanduo was willing to endure any hardship and was not afraid of any pain.

Unfortunately, each subject came to an abrupt end just as it approached the seventh-best standard.

Seeing the two staring at each other like fighting cocks, Zhang Anbang couldn't help but laugh. "This Xu Sanduo is not bad. He still has the spirit of a Chinese person. However, no one is perfect. His spirit is in his bones, not on the surface."

Hearing this, Gao Cheng and Shi Jin both nodded in agreement. Shi Jin's eyes lit up with an idea. "Deputy Company Commander, San Duo's grades seem to have hit a plateau. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Anbang knew exactly what was going on, but he still had psychological barriers. Even though he had met the requirements, his mindset wasn't right, and he kept trying to convince himself that it wasn't working.

"Shi Jin, here's what you do: when you're training him later, make sure the data and indicators for each assessment are a little inaccurate. For example, if he's done ten pull-ups, you can say he's only done eight, and he's still two short."

"Let him keep going. The other subjects are the same; give it a try."

"Yes, Deputy Company Commander." Shi Jin replied and left thoughtfully.

"Tonight, will you come or should I?" Gao Cheng glared at Zhang Anbang.

"Let's split it in half. There are still quite a few of those Type 82 smoke canisters left, hehe."

"Of course! We have over a hundred in our warehouse alone, two per shift?"

"Company Commander, you're being too stingy. I think four is just right."

Gao Cheng's eye twitched. A single bullet has an effective smoke radius of five to eight meters. In the small 20-square-meter dormitory of the work team, two bullets can create a smoke screen with a visibility of less than one meter throughout the room within three seconds.

But this guy went straight for four, which means the smoke effect will be overloaded and stacked, the effect will be geometrically enhanced, the smoke density will increase dramatically, and the diffusion will be seamless.

Or rather, it wasn't a smokescreen, but a thick cloud of smoke; you probably couldn't even see the outline of the person opposite you even up close.

The smoke would also seep out through the cracks in the doors and windows, instantly forming a wall of smoke at the dormitory entrance, and the corridors would quickly fill with light smoke. If all twelve classes did this, their entire camp would turn into a column of smoke rising into the sky.

Gao Cheng smacked his lips. "I think I've been ruthless enough, but this guy is even more ruthless than me."

"Okay, let's do it your way. It starts at twelve o'clock. I'll go first. I need to find someone to borrow some people to help throw smoke grenades. You keep an eye on things here."

"it is good."

Watching Gao Cheng leave, Zhang Anbang looked at the Seventh Company soldiers outside, who were shouting and charging for five kilometers. He was very satisfied. He then looked at Xu Sanduo, who was gritting his teeth and charging in the front, and nodded, beginning to think.

Xu Sanduo looks a bit strange. In the original story, this guy developed PTSD after killing someone at close range during a mission.

But looking at that murderous intent now, even though I changed Xu Sanduo's path a lot after I arrived, this change is a bit too big.

I hope I don't turn Xu Mumu into Feng Yuxiu.

Zhang Anbang racked his brains to gather knowledge from the psychology books he could find and began to analyze them.

After arriving at the Seventh Steel Company, Xu Sanduo's life was filled with hardships. The lack of recognition or even indifference from everyone in the company, along with the high-intensity extra training, made him suffer both mentally and physically.

The extremely shocking images caused him severe psychological trauma.

Intensive training is a dual test of physiology and willpower. Severe physical exertion will break down his original timidity and form a muscle memory-like instinctive reaction.

Further breakthroughs will allow him to build the mental confidence that he can withstand extreme pressure and complete the ultimate task.

The extreme anger and empathy evoked by the incredibly impactful images will concretize his previously vague military duty into a clear goal of protecting the innocent and having zero tolerance for evildoers.

This dual tempering of physiology and psychology will greatly transform him. He will not be good at expressing his emotions and will appear dull. However, at critical moments, he will be decisive and ruthless because of his beliefs and abilities.

From the perspective of emotional psychology, this falls under the stress response and emotional solidification theory.

When a person experiences intense emotional stress, if this is accompanied by high-intensity physical training, the stress will be deeply linked to their physical state of stress resistance and action, forming a fixed behavioral association.

In other words, the high-pressure physical and emotional stress will firmly bind his anger towards evil people, his obsession with protecting others, and the action capabilities formed by high-intensity training together.

When faced with similar dangers in the future, they will immediately switch from a relaxed state to a state of emergency response, which will manifest as decisive action.

From a social psychology perspective, this is the theory of self-identity reconstruction.

When the external environment provides continuous and strong identity cues, such as the identity of a soldier in the military, the shaping of combat capabilities through extra training, and the awakening of a soldier's duty through images, an individual will break through their original self-perception.

It automatically reconstructs its self-identity to better align with its environment and mission.

Xu Sanduo's original self-perception was not to hold Shi Jin back. The double stimulus will upgrade his self-identity to that of a soldier who can protect others and fight against evil. This new self-identity will become the core guide for his behavior.

In his normal state, his taciturnity is his true nature. However, when his military duty is triggered, a new self-identity will dominate his behavior, which will manifest as decisiveness and ruthlessness.

From the perspectives of cognitive psychology and sports psychology, this falls under the categories of deliberate training and behavioral automatization theory.

High-intensity, targeted deliberate training transforms complex movements and decision-making processes from conscious, deliberate control into unconscious, automated behavior—a combination of muscle memory and cognitive memory.

Strong emotional motivation accelerates this process, allowing actions to overcome emotional hesitation. Xu Sanduo underwent a month of intensive training, essentially completing deliberate training in combat capabilities.

From physical fitness and tactical maneuvers to stress tolerance, an automated reaction pattern has been formed; the emotional stimulation brought by the images gives this automated behavior a clear motivational direction.

When the critical moment arrives, he will not hesitate about whether or not to do something, but will directly trigger the automatic action of what to do, which is manifested as decisiveness.

In the story, before he was psychologically stimulated enough, when he went to work as a drug dealer, his inherent kindness made his actions illegal and extremely irregular.

When the drug dealer resisted, his long-term training activated his muscle memory, and he subconsciously struck and killed him.

Having figured this out, Zhang Anbang smiled. "Not bad, not bad. I guess I'm quite the little genius. I know so much."

Gao Laoqi said, "I don't have much preamble here. You're ready to fight the moment you get up. You can't let your guard down for a second. If you like this kind of life, then that's the fighting spirit."

It seems that Gao Laoqi also understands military psychology. Isn't this fighting spirit a key intersection of military social psychology and military combat psychology?

It is said that a soldier's fighting will is not innate, but is shaped through three steps: physical training, psychological awakening, and mission anchoring.

Physically, it breaks through the comfort zone of the body and mind, establishes a stress threshold, and psychologically activates instinctive emotional responses, such as anger or protectiveness, awakening the emotional foundation of fighting will.

Finally, there is mission anchoring, transforming emotions into a soldier's duty, and elevating the will to fight from instinctive emotions into rational professional beliefs.
