Girls und War

The combat command of a corporal is not the same as that of a company commander. They do not need to really consider tactical decisions on the battlefield.

Often they only need to lead a group of members and do whatever the squad leader tells them to do.

This combat simulation assessment tests their ability to execute orders.

By letting them give orders to team members personally, their understanding of various orders can be enhanced.

In this fixed assessment item, the enemy will replicate all the company attack and defense scenarios that appear in the textbooks.

As long as the examinees follow what they have learned in the textbooks and respond correctly, it is equivalent to them having learned several common routines of company combat.

For example, cover attack, counter-cover attack; long-range blasting, counter-long-range blasting; point sniping, counter-sniping.

These are the contents that a deputy commander with the rank of corporal needs to master.

More profound on-the-spot response and company offensive methods - these are things they will naturally learn from the battlefield after taking up official positions.

Corporals will not be tested on these things.

If you can't pass the open-book test, it's not a problem of intelligence.

That's because I just want to take the exam.

In this simulated battle, Xia Shu casually went through all the combat command methods.

He also killed the enemy's battalion commander and ended the battle early.

The pass rate for this subject for all other girls, whether they passed the previous assessment or not, was over 99 percent.

Only one person remembered the wrong response order, allowing the opponent's demolition missile to come over and blow up the bunker, resulting in the collapse of the battle and GG.

In the end, the number of people who passed the assessment was fixed at twenty-two.

Among this batch of more than one hundred privates, twenty-two will be promoted to corporals.

The overall pass rate is approximately 20 percent.

It was really not easy. Something that I felt could be explained clearly in one sentence ended up being stretched to five or six chapters.

Seeing this, the examiner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There is one remaining cohort assessment, which is a reserved subject and the pass rate does not need to be considered.

She can now announce that this time, the number of corporals who have passed the deputy battlefield commander assessment is the largest in history.

The invigilator took all the girls to the locker room and asked them to put their formal clothes back on.

Looking at the girls with sad faces who had failed the test, the invigilator comforted them, "Don't be discouraged if you didn't pass. Go back and prepare for two more days. You'll have a good chance next time."

"Sir, will the difficulty of the subsequent tests be as difficult as today?" a girl asked the invigilator.

The invigilator thought for a moment and said cautiously, "If nothing unexpected happens, the difficulty of the subsequent exams will be based on today's."

The girls immediately showed happy expressions.

"But don't tell anyone when you go back, especially don't let the girls in other war zones know about this, understand?"

"Understood!" the girls shouted back.

After changing clothes, the invigilator asked the girl to go out and gather.

Xia Shu saw that Jia was a little depressed, so he went up to her, touched her head, and said, "It's okay, you can come next time, don't be sad."

Jia looked back at Xia Shu, threw herself into her arms and acted coquettishly for a while. It was not until the invigilator urged her outside that she reluctantly left Xia Shu's arms and walked out.

The invigilator didn't say anything, but quickly took the girls to the front of the exam desk.

The eliminated corporals were taken to the side. The twenty-two girls who had passed the previous assessment were divided into two rows and stood on either side of the invigilation desk.

An examiner trotted over and reported to the chief examiner.

The major general immediately asked them to start the queue assessment.

The queue assessment was quick and smooth.

The chief examiner did not waste time speaking and went straight to the promotion ceremony.

I'm afraid it will be dark soon.

The major general was in a good mood. He had originally expected less than twenty people, but now there were more than twenty.

It was an unexpected surprise.

This way, she can report back to her superiors.

When awarding ranks, she even personally gave these girls military ranks.

Xia Shu's military rank was changed to major general.

Looking at the pair of small wings added to the military rank on his shoulders, Xia Shu showed a satisfied expression.

The major general also patted her shoulder and said, "You performed well and broke several assessment records. However, I still suggest that you spend less time on romance and focus on training."

Xia Shu's smile was a little confused.

What do you mean? You're not in a relationship?

Although I was praised, I felt like something was wrong.

The major general smiled, didn't explain, turned around and went back to the invigilation desk.

After the awarding of the titles, the chief examiner gave them some encouragement.

Afterwards, the girls from each company were taken back to the camp by their respective leaders.

There were only two of them from the Red Dragon Squadron, and Xia Shu himself was the leader.

They boarded the same bus with several other girls from the front-line combat units and rode back to the camp together.

No one spoke much in the car because the assessment was so tiring.

Jia had recovered her composure, but she still held Xia Shu's arm all the way, showing a slightly sad expression and acting coquettishly towards her.

In other words, there are no one like us here.

If Zhan Ren were here, he would definitely call her a pretentious and scheming bitch.

When they returned to the camp, the girl who was to greet them had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the rank of corporal on Xia Shu's shoulder.

"Yeah! Kill them all! I won!" Doragon jumped up from the ground, his face full of ecstasy.

What the hell? Is the market open? What's the odds?

"You actually passed the exam? You're amazing!" Xinyue walked over with her eyes wide open and touched Xia Shu's military rank.

"How could this be false?" The eyebrowed sergeant came over and nudged Xinyue with his shoulder, raising her thick eyebrows and saying, "I told you Xia Shu is not an ordinary person."

Natsuki turned around and looked, but didn't see any other privates, so he asked, "Where are the Glaives?"

"I went to the bathroom to isolate myself. I didn't pass any of them." Viper said, pushing his glasses.

"Okay, you guys go take a shower too. Then go to the cafeteria. We'll be there first." Qingxian smiled and patted Xia Shu's back.

The deputy commander's assessment was finished last, and in order to wait for them, no one had eaten yet.

Xia Shu nodded and immediately took Jia to the big bathhouse.

278. Bathroom Chat

New and old corporals were all taking baths in the bathroom.

The difference is that the new private first class is still a private first class, but the old private first class has become a non-commissioned officer.

Mingming, who followed Tingchao all day, served as the squadron's scribe and passed the assessment for communications officer. However, she continued to serve as the squadron's scribe because scribes were usually part-time and did not have dedicated combat duties.

Private First Class Ah Sheng from the assault team had also passed the rifleman's sergeant assessment. If she could improve her marksmanship, she could become a sniper or scout.

The bartender on the medical team was, of course, a corporal who had passed the medical exam. The current medical team consisted of one sergeant and two corporals. Aiko would be added later, making it a four-person medical team.

Of course, I know you only know one bartender and you don't remember the others because her name is so catchy.

Even as the author, I have to glance at the notebook from time to time to remember who is who.

All you have to remember is that all girls are cute little angels.

So, getting back to the point, after these girls came back from the assessment, they naturally had different emotions.

The three newly promoted corporals were all delighted with a sense of entitlement.

The three newly promoted corporals also felt a sense of loss but also a sense of justification.

Of course, they were not so naive as to think that if they passed the examination for corporal, the examination for corporal would be a piece of cake.

After experiencing it themselves, these girls realized how difficult the assessment was.

Perhaps War Blade had some minor strength, a bit stronger than the other privates? Rush was a bit special, so special that a separate examination area was set up just for her.

But can this be the reason for their promotion?

It doesn't make sense.

What is required for a military rank is strength, not qualifications or special characteristics.

There are many people in the regular army who have served as privates for more than ten years but still have not been promoted.

War Blade, Rush and Ai Ai Ke did not get promoted, which was not unexpected for them.

After a week of training, I still haven't mastered any skills. Thinking of passing the assessment like this is really disrespectful to the rank of corporal.

But it’s not a big problem now.

Given these girls' learning abilities and hard work, they still have a good chance of passing the next non-commissioned officer assessment in six months.

Otherwise, a year later will also be fine.

Frontline combat troops are more keen on training outstanding talents like this.

This will enhance the sense of belonging and identity among grassroots soldiers.

Generally speaking, the longer a girl stays in front-line combat troops and the shorter she stays in the standing army, the less likely she is to pick up military bad habits.

For example, being smooth-talking, sneaky, trying to take credit for others' work, and talking nonsense.

So far, these young recruits have not developed such bad habits.

They are still very cute, so the senior non-commissioned officers are willing to teach them.

At this time, the expressions of the three corporals were very depressed.

They soaked in the pool and didn't want to say a word.

The three non-commissioned officers tried to comfort him and said there would be another chance next time.

"It's not easy to pass the non-commissioned officer exam. We studied in the squadron for half a year before we passed the exam." The bartender said with a smile.

"Is there no one who was promoted to corporal and then directly promoted to non-commissioned officer?" asked Zhan Ren.

"I've never heard of it. That's impossible!" Mingming said with a smile.

"Xia Shu can do it! Xia Shu has a chance!" Rush said, raising his head.

Everyone looked at each other.

They didn't want to hit the rushes, so they just said, "Maybe."

"Ask when you get down."

Ai Ai Ke stretched out her body and said, "Why haven't Xia Shu and the others come back yet? I'm almost soaked."

As they were talking, Jia walked in wrapped in a bath towel.

"Oh, that's what I was talking about."

"What's going on?" Jia walked to the bathtub and looked at the girls.

The bartender asked her, "Is it over?"

Jia thought she was asking him, and shook his head with a little gloom.

Xia Shu also walked in at this time.

She was wearing nothing, not even a bath towel.
