Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Zhang Anbang was really happy today. The soldiers of the old Seventh Company were becoming more and more promising. "Where's Xiao Ning? I remember he came to the Mechanized Infantry Company with you."

"Yes, he came in the same batch as me. Xiao Ning is doing very well now. He went to the regiment's training camp for intensive training. This guy is really working hard now. Last time he went to the regiment's competition, he got second place."

It's a pity there was only one third-class merit award available, and he didn't get it.

Training camp for instructors? That's a real treat, a real treat.

Didn't I hear that Xiao Ning had already become a squad leader? Why is he suddenly going to training again? Xiao Ning is a first-term sergeant, it's not time for him to be promoted yet.

Seeing Zhang Anbang's somewhat puzzled look, Wu Liuyi quickly explained, "Deputy Company Commander, Xiao Ning never went to the training camp when she was in the Seventh Company. Only the squad leader studied with her during her secondment to the Seventh Company."

Later, when the company was reorganized, Xiao Ning was promoted to squad leader by the company commander. However, after the transfer, due to the lack of training experience, he only became the deputy squad leader.

Now that Company Commander Hua wants to promote him to squad leader, he directly had him participate in this training camp.

Zhang Anbang was certainly aware of this. According to the sergeant system from 99 to 09, the training camp was a mandatory training program for key personnel who were to be promoted to sergeant or deputy squad leader and were to be promoted to squad leader.

It usually starts in the second quarter of each year, from March to June. This is the golden period for the training camp, when the weather is suitable and the annual plan is launched.

The training typically lasts three to five months. After the training concludes, class leaders are formally appointed in the second half of the year, facilitating the annual adjustment of key personnel.

This is a transition from soldier to leader; one must learn how to lead a platoon, how to organize training, and how to conduct ideological work.

Whether it's being a squad leader or being recommended for military academy, this is a significant advantage, and it's difficult to become a squad leader without this experience.

That's why Gao Cheng only brought up Gan Xiaoning during the adaptation phase, because it was a critical time, and naturally they wouldn't have blocked Gan Xiaoning's involvement.

This also shows that Company Commander Hua Zinan really valued the soldiers who transferred from the Steel Seventh Company.

He nodded, grinning, and said, "Oh, I see. Did he bring enough socks and underwear?"

"Haha," Wu Liuyi laughed along, "A lot, a full thirty pairs of socks and fifteen pairs of underwear. It's definitely enough for him, but it's hard to say if someone steals some of them."

Wu Liuyi has a deep memory of the training camp in the training team; even a tough guy like him found it a bit difficult.

I get up at 5:30 in the morning, and then it's just drills, drills, drills, drills, until the lights go out at 9:30 at night.

There are only ten minutes to wash up before lights out, and even washing your feet is rushed, let alone washing your underwear and socks. Of course, you can also wash your feet while wearing your socks, which is a way to use the water for two purposes.

Every morning, the training intensity is insane. I get soaked in sweat countless times a day, doing cross-country runs in full gear, tactical crawls, mud pits, sand dunes, and carrying logs.

My underwear and socks were soaked from morning till night, covered in sweat, mud, and sand. The water I could wring out was all murky. By the end of the day, my underwear and socks were so stiff they could stand up on their own.

Is that all? Far from it. For prospective squad leaders, their time is divided into three parts: one-third for physical training, one-third for command and instruction, and one-third for management and troop leadership.

It's not just physical exercise that makes you sweat; studying and taking exams also make you sweat.

Choosing to join the army is probably because you didn't study well or didn't have the opportunity to go to school, right?

Who would have thought that after joining the army, I would not only have to train, but also have to study.

Therefore, he had many famous sayings in the army, such as: "I'm willing to sweat, but I resist using my brain"; "My limbs are well-developed, but my mind isn't"; "Eight sets of theoretical tests are on Saturdays, but physical fitness is not impossible"...

"It should be fine, after all, Shi Jin is here. If it's really not enough, he'll definitely go to Shi Jin for more," Zhang Anbang paused, "Liu Yi, do you know why this martial arts competition happened so suddenly?"

Wu Liuyi shook his head, then suddenly had a bright idea. "Deputy Company Commander, I heard from the Company Commander that after you were transferred, there was no news of you at all. The Company Commander couldn't find out exactly where you were."

"Now you're asking me this again, does it mean this competition has something to do with where you are?"

Zhang Anbang snapped his fingers, offering no reply, and instead asked, "So, are you confident of winning first place in this competition?"

"Of course, I got first place, so can I follow you, the deputy company commander...?" Although Zhang Anbang didn't say it explicitly, Wu Liuyi guessed that it was pretty much true.

Otherwise, the deputy company commander would never have come to see him at this time, and he even specifically mentioned this competition. Moreover, the fact that the deputy company commander has already reached 21 cents so quickly proves that the place where he is must be extraordinary.

It could even be the same mysterious team that inflicted heavy losses on their Seventh Company. Wouldn't it be incredibly exciting to go there?

Wu Liuyi's brain was working like crazy. Haha, I'm still pretty smart after all. This time it's all good. It'll be difficult to get to the company commander, but as long as I get first place, getting to the deputy company commander shouldn't be a problem.

Seeing Wu Liuyi's excited expression, Zhang Anbang smiled and said, "How about it? Are you still hesitant? Are you still afraid of not doing well? Do you dare to charge forward?"

"Hehe," a rare blush appeared on Wu Liuyi's dark face, then his chest suddenly puffed out, his voice not loud, but as hard as iron, "Deputy Company Commander, you know me."

As long as there's a road leading forward, Wu Liuyi is always on the road. He was just being modest earlier.

"Good," Zhang Anbang said, looking at Wu Liuyi's eyes full of fighting spirit. That's more like it. This is the man of steel. This is so much better.

I still remember watching TV in my past life. After Wu Liuyi bit open the signal flare with his teeth, he limped around shouting, "I can't run anymore! I'm giving up! Run! What are you looking at me for?"

During his hospitalization, Wu Liuyi spoke his hometown dialect in front of others for the first time in the entire series.

That scene brought tears to Zhang Anbang's eyes, even though he hadn't yet joined the army. Perhaps it was at that moment that the seed of joining the army was quietly planted in his heart, which is why he chose that path when he couldn't afford to go to university later.

Seeing Wu Liuyi grinning foolishly, Zhang Anbang raised his hand and tapped his hat brim. "Stop grinning like an idiot. Hua Zinan and Jiang Wei are probably worried that I'll take you away. They might be cursing me right now."

"Hehe, our company commander and political instructor are pretty good too," Wu Liuyi smiled, then said firmly, "I will definitely win first place this time, and leave some gifts for the company before I leave."

……

"Alright, it's getting late, let's call it a day. I'm going to the division headquarters to see the company commander. I'll be there to watch your match in ten days. Remember, health is the foundation of everything, so never push yourself too hard."
