Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Seeing Cheng Cai shake his head, Gao Cheng didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on Cheng Cai.

Cheng Cai looked at Gao Cheng's calm yet unyielding gaze and slowly lowered his head. "Alright, Deputy Battalion Commander, I'll follow your orders."

Gao Cheng, with his hands behind his back, finally spoke, "Alright, let's do it this way then."

He then turned to look at the second-term sergeant and lieutenant huddled together, "Xiao Ning, Xiao Shuai."

"arrive."

"arrive."

"Let's see what we can contribute to tonight's dinner."

"Yes," the two smiled at each other, then turned and ran towards Gao Cheng's command vehicle.

Gao Cheng shook his head helplessly as he watched the two run in the direction they were heading. "What are you two doing? Why are you running towards my car?"

Seeing the two stop, Zhang Anbang laughed and said, "Go, go, hurry up, there are two cases of Tsingtao Pure Draft Beer and two cases of Blue Ribbon Beer in the car, unload them all."

Watching the two continue running towards the command vehicle, Gao Cheng shook his head helplessly. "Sure enough, you can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks."

The two were obviously acting on purpose, and after the safety incident, even if it was an accident caused by force majeure, the atmosphere in the entire division's reconnaissance battalion was somewhat low.

Neither of them were stingy people, so why would they really care about a few packs of beer?

……

With all the food and drinks prepared, Gao Cheng stood directly on the front of the armored vehicle and began to speak, "Comrades, today, taking advantage of the opportunity to rest and recuperate on our return journey, let's have a simple improvement in our meals and treat everyone in our battalion to a good meal."

For more than two months, you were stationed in the field, enduring wind and sun, crawling and rolling, high-intensity training, and long-distance maneuvers. No one complained or fell behind. The camp saw and remembered all your efforts.

Here, I want to say, thank you all for your hard work.

But besides that, there's something else I must mention, a very important point: during this training exercise, we had a safety accident, and one of our comrades was injured and hospitalized.

I reiterate that although this accident was due to force majeure and not a matter of liability, the lessons learned are profound enough! No matter how tough the training or how heavy the mission, safety is always the bottom line and the prerequisite for all achievements, whether it is field training or mobile marching.

We are not afraid of difficult training or heavy tasks; what we fear most is complacency and wishful thinking. We must all keep this lesson in mind, remain vigilant, and never repeat the same mistakes.

Of course, everyone doesn't need to carry a mental burden. One accident can't break the fighting spirit of our division's reconnaissance battalion!

Since the start of the training camp, everyone has braved the scorching heat and honed their skills, successfully completing all reconnaissance, tactical, and drill subjects. They have truly honed their abilities and tempered their work style, which is a solid achievement for the entire battalion and deserves recognition.

Today's simple meal is a gesture of comfort, a chance for rest, and, more importantly, a chance to refocus and boost morale.

However, I would like to remind you to eat in moderation, avoid excessive drinking, refrain from horseplay, and get back into a good state of mind immediately after the rest period, and return to the camp early tomorrow morning.

In future training, we must not only be courageous and determined to strive for excellence, but also strictly adhere to the rules and ensure safety! Does everyone have confidence?

Yes, yes, yes.

The shouts of more than nine hundred people were deafening.

"Good, that voice is inspiring. Our deputy head of the training department is with us now. Let's invite him to say a few words. Please welcome him."

Upon hearing Gao Cheng's words, Zhang Anbang had no choice but to stand up and stand on the side of a tank next to him. "Comrades, since your deputy battalion commander has spoken, I'll just say a few words."

Brothers of the reconnaissance battalion, what your Deputy Battalion Commander Gao just said was very insightful, so I'll just say a few words as well.

Some of you know me, but a large portion of you don't know me or don't understand me.

Back in the days of the Seventh Steel Company, I was paired with your Deputy Battalion Commander Gao. I was his deputy and I actually worked on the front lines of reconnaissance.

I have the right to speak on this point; I know best the indomitable spirit that runs deep in the hearts of our reconnaissance soldiers.

Over the past two months of field training, everyone has successfully completed tough tasks through mountain infiltration and long-distance maneuvers. The results speak for themselves and deserve praise.

However, we must also remember the accident that occurred during this training exercise. Although natural disasters are uncontrollable, we cannot afford to be lax in the details of safety protection and on-site security.

No matter how intense the training is, there is a prerequisite: everyone must be safe and sound.

Let's all have a good rest today and get ready to head back tomorrow.

In future training, we must not only be bold and daring in our efforts, but also keep safety in mind.

Okay, that's all I'll say, otherwise the food will get cold and everyone will be unhappy.

"Hahaha," everyone sitting down immediately burst into laughter while clapping.

Gao Cheng stood on the front of the armored vehicle, laughing and clapping. Thirty seconds later, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down. "Alright, since Deputy Section Chief Zhang has spoken like this, let's not stand on ceremony. Without further ado, let's eat!"

I've kept everything I need to keep in my heart, and everything I need to remember in my mind. Now, I'm going to eat and drink as I please.

"it is good."

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted from over nine hundred people.

From that moment on, the more than 900 people began to eat and drink with a mix of joy and restraint. They were indeed saddened by their comrade's injury, but after being busy for so long, everyone longed to relax.

More than two months of high-intensity field training left most people physically exhausted, with their bodies consuming large amounts of glycogen and protein.

The monotonous diet in the wild for a long time, the tents, the sandstorms, and the high-intensity training day after day all put a lot of psychological pressure on people.

Sufficient meat and staple foods during snack time can quickly replenish energy, relieve muscle soreness and general weakness, and a feeling of fullness will directly bring physiological comfort.

Furthermore, delicious food stimulates the secretion of dopamine, and the physical stress caused by fatigue is neutralized by the pleasure of taste, thereby relieving tense nerves and allowing the sore body to relax quickly.

In particular, having everyone sit together, temporarily setting aside training targets, safety regulations, and mission pressure, and not having to maintain a tense military posture all the time, chatting with each other to relieve psychological stress is a very good way to de-stress and recover.

That's why, even though an accident had just occurred and everyone was burdened with the responsibility of safety awareness, Gao Cheng still insisted on having a meal together, and Zhang Anbang only advised them to change the format.

This simple meal together can briefly ease the soldiers' emotions, allowing them to relax from their tension, self-blame, and anxiety.

As the gathering progressed, Gao Cheng strolled from table to table, greeting the soldiers at each table, offering words of advice and praise, busy as a spinning top.

Zhang Anbang, along with Wu Liuyi, Shi Jin, Gan Xiaoning, Ma Xiaoshuai, Xiao Wenwu, and other former members of the Seventh Company, sat at a table, chatting and eating and drinking leisurely, which was in stark contrast to Gao Cheng.
