Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Zhang Anbang returned to the company headquarters and discussed it with Company Commander Gao Cheng. From now on, the time after dinner for the first, second, and third squads would be used for rehearsals.

The regimental commander even called to urge us to train hard and strive to make a good impression on the 702nd Regiment in non-military skills this year. In the past, there was no opportunity, but now that there is, we must make the most of it.

Gao Cheng hung up the phone. "You little brat, I asked you to put on a show, and you've made such a big fuss. Let me see it."

After watching it, Gao Cheng repeatedly praised it, "The other company commanders used to laugh at me because their military skills and combat effectiveness were not as good as our Seventh Company. They said that our Seventh Company had no artistic talent."

"Anbang, you did a fantastic job! Keep it up! This time, we'll crush them on every front!"

Hearing Gao Cheng's words, Zhang Anbang could only apologize to the other fifteen company commanders. This time, not only were their military skills inferior to the Seventh Company, but Gao Cheng was also going to give them a good slap in the face in terms of artistic skills.

With the farewell party fast approaching, Zhang Anbang led his three squads of soldiers in making preparations.

What seemed like a simple singing exercise to Zhang Anbang, who had been given the ability to sing by the system, was utter torture for the soldiers of the three platoons.

After two consecutive days of setbacks, the squad leaders of the first and second platoons both gave Shi Jin meaningful glances, hoping that he could persuade the deputy company commander to replace them if necessary. Originally, this task should have been best suited for Wu Liuyi, but unfortunately, Wu Liuyi was now a staunch supporter of the deputy company commander.

Since the deputy company commander surpassed Wu Liuyi in physical fitness, military skills, and personal combat effectiveness, and also relieved some of his minor ailments and hidden injuries through months of consistent massage, the deputy company commander has been able to help him improve.

Wu Liuyi considered himself a staunch supporter of the deputy company commander and resolutely carried out orders, even though his face looked as bitter as a gourd from singing.

There's no way to be indebted to someone who takes your money or eats your food, so the deputy company commander not only helped him resolve the issue of his health problems potentially causing his military career to end prematurely.

He just achieved better results with his healthy body, and now he's learning Bajiquan and Xingyiquan, so this order has to be carried out no matter how difficult it is.

Upon receiving the signal, Shi Jin scratched his head and flashed his signature smile. "Well, Deputy Company Commander, this is a bit difficult for us. Our group of rough men can't handle it. If it really doesn't work, you can send someone else, or we can go up and demonstrate some hand-to-hand combat and grappling."

Zhang Anbang was somewhat helpless. He had originally planned to sing such a beautiful song properly, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He reflected on it carefully today.

Perhaps it's because of the unreliable music knowledge provided by the system that I always strive for perfection.

However, Zhang Anbang was also reminded by Shi Jin's words and came up with a solution: the standard military singing method. Forget about this or that, just shout it out loud. As long as the voice is loud enough and the passion is strong enough, that's all that matters.

However, we also need to put these guys on the line. "The order came from the regimental commander, the program has already been submitted, and now the regimental commander and political commissar are paying close attention to our program. You have me go and tell the regimental commander that the Steel Seventh Company is not doing any programs anymore, it's a waste."

The soldiers immediately objected, their faces flushed and necks red as they shouted that it wouldn't do; the Seventh Steel Company had never backed down.

"That's it. Tell me, what are the six most important words for the Steel Seventh Company?" Zhang Anbang naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to boost morale.

"Never abandon, never give up."

"Good, that's the kind of morale we need. The slogans are loud and clear, now let's see if we can actually get things done," Zhang Anbang continued, trying to provoke them.

"That's all for today. Shi Jin, take this sheet music back with you. Have all three squads copy it down when you have time, and everyone memorize the lyrics. Also, remember to keep it a secret; do not let me know. Understand?"

Listening to Zhang Anbang's arrangement, the soldiers of the three platoons understood that they still had to sing, but they couldn't care less. They had already shouted the slogans, and if they backed down now, how could they call themselves members of the Steel Seventh Company?

The squad leader still wanted to try, "Deputy platoon leader, you sing well, why don't you sing? We'll all be your background, standing in the back and not saying a word, just doing the actions, okay?"

Most of the soldiers nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Zhang Anbang was so angry he almost laughed. "Wang Liang, follow orders! Can you call it a group performance if I sing alone?"

The squad leader quickly replied, "Yes, Deputy Company Commander, we will carry out the order without hesitation."

Seeing his willingness to sacrifice himself for righteousness, Zhang Anbang quickly came up with a solution. "Let's all sing a song of unity first. I'll listen to it; I have a plan."

Unity? Anyone can do that. It's the most frequently used word in singing competitions during recruit training. It's also the most frequently used word when the Seventh Company sings with other companies at the canteen entrance.

So the soldiers all shouted and sang loudly. Yes, the word "shouting and sang" is very fitting for the army.

The commotion was so loud that the soldiers in the dormitory could hear it clearly. They were wondering if the Seventh Company's program was about unity. That wouldn't be good, they thought, and it would be better not to do it at all.

Zhang Anbang nodded in satisfaction. That's the spirit. "Alright, let's sing it with the same enthusiasm as the song about unity."

What is a military song?

When sung by the right people, a military song can showcase the spirit of contemporary soldiers and conform to the trends of the times.

More importantly, it should be easy to sing in the military and have an inspiring and motivating effect.

Therefore, in the military, beautiful singing is not very important; what matters is demonstrating spirit, being in unison, and not singing off-key. That is enough.

The soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company were all elite troops. They immediately realized what was happening and their confidence was restored.

"Alright, everyone return to your dorms. Remember to write this down tonight and memorize the lyrics."

Although the lyrics didn't look too long, this was a matter of face for the Steel Seventh Company, so the soldiers of the three platoons hurriedly returned to their dormitories.

The squad leaders of the first and second squads first gathered together to copy the document and took it back to the dormitory, and then the soldiers copied it one by one.

Seeing the unusual behavior of the soldiers in the three platoons, the soldiers in the other platoons became curious. They were itching to find out what was going on, so they took cigarettes and made their way to find out.

Unexpectedly, the cigarette was accepted, but when asked about the matter, the deputy company commander said it had to be kept secret. Damn it, this is a double loss.

The soldiers gathered around Wang Liang, craning their necks to read the lyrics on the paper. Although they couldn't read the sheet music or know how to sing it, the deputy company commander had only sung the first line and hadn't even taught them before sending them back to copy the lyrics. But just reading those lyrics made their eyes well up with tears. If their comrades had done this to them when they were discharged, they probably would have burst into tears.

Two soldiers from Class One are retiring this year. They had agreed to leave together gracefully and that neither of them was allowed to cry.

As a result, the person who was copying the lyrics started crying as they copied them.

Another soldier, seeing this, thought, "Didn't we agree on this? Why are you betraying us already?" He immediately tried to persuade him, "Brother, don't do this! Didn't we agree to have a good time? It's not even time yet, and you're already pissing your pants. You're such a coward, brother."

Although he was sharp-tongued, he felt that the deputy company commander was trying to create an unforgettable memory for them during this demobilization season.

Ten minutes later, all the soldiers in the three platoons had finished copying the lyrics. The soldier who had started crying shouted to his comrade who had been laughing at him, "I heard that one soldier from the second platoon and one soldier from the third platoon are retiring this time. Let's go find the deputy company commander together. Even though I'm the one retiring this time, I still want to go up and participate in the show."

Another comrade thought it was a good idea, and since there was still some time before lights out, he joined the comrades from the second and third platoons and headed towards Zhang Anbang's dormitory.
