Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 12 In 702, competition is not a method, it is a habit

After the joining ceremony, Chen Jiang and his team will go to the cafeteria with the company for dinner.

The meal in the Seventh Company was also very interesting. The three platoons marched towards the cafeteria in super neat steps according to the basic requirement of "two people in a row, three people in a column".

I heard that during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, most of the soldiers in the company died on the defensive positions. When the kitchen team carried food to the positions, only one young soldier was still alive.

At his strong request, the comrades in the kitchen team placed the food on the battlefield, allowing these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country to dine with him, and continue fighting after eating!
This is also the glorious tradition left by the Seventh Company: either eat together or don’t eat together.

This is a company with a strong sense of collective honor!
Many soldiers from other companies along the way looked at him sideways, but Chen Jiang could feel that there was more shock and envy in their eyes.

When they arrived outside the cafeteria, the Seventh Company was the last to arrive and was at the end of the line, but this did not affect their morale. Instead, it was their chance to show their prowess.

There is an unwritten rule in the army, which is singing songs.

Because at mealtime, multiple companies may eat together, but the canteen cannot accommodate so many people eating at the same time, so there is a habit of "you eat first, I sing first".

The troops that had their meals first entered the cafeteria to eat, while the troops waiting in line outside felt a little embarrassed to just wait, so in order to relieve the embarrassment and to show the good mental outlook of the soldiers, they began to sing.

One song after another, until you can get in.

Later it evolved into an important window to show the company's morale.

"There is a truth that does not need to be explained. Get ready, sing!" Hong Xingguo started, and everyone followed suit.
Chen Jiang and his colleagues had learned this song in the recruit company, but they had a different feeling when they arrived here. When the company commander of the 6th Company of Great Merit next door saw the 7th Company of Steel coming, he hurriedly encouraged everyone to sing as well, using singing to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, so they needed to sing louder and more uniformly.

As a result, the voice of the Seventh Company actually drowned out the voices of the two companies in front, and there was no pride or pride on the faces of the veterans of the Seventh Company, as if this was a common occurrence!
When the Sixth and Seventh Companies entered the cafeteria together, the Sixth Company Commander took the initiative to make way and said to Gao Cheng with a look of admiration: "Seventh Brother, I'm really impressed. You have so many new recruits, but you still beat us to a pulp with your singing!"

Gao Cheng had an expression of indifference. "First of all, they're not rookies. Once you enter the Seventh Company, there's no such thing as veterans or new recruits. Heroes are judged solely by their performance!"

"Secondly, what do you mean? Are we only good at singing?"

The captain of the sixth company was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, they had always had a good relationship and he knew that Gao Cheng had such a bad temper, so the captain of the third company, who had not left yet, came over and offered him a cigarette to smooth things over.

Gao Cheng took it and put it on the table, "No smoking in the cafeteria, it's against the rules!"

Upon hearing this, the third company commander gave a bitter smile and could only call his soldiers to leave.

Because Chen Jiang was an ordinary private, he was not qualified to sit at the same table with the company commander Gao Cheng. The people in their third squad sat at the same table until Gao Cheng shouted "Let's eat".

Everyone started eating at the same time, and their eating speed was astonishing, they were literally wolfing down the food. Later, Chen Jiang learned that this was also the tradition of the Seventh Company. Combat troops must eat quickly and have the awareness and habit of being ready to fight at all times!

To be honest, Chen Jiang ate quite quickly, but he was only 7% full. Bai Tiejun had always eaten slowly in the recruit company, so the pace here was a bit out of his accustomed state. Before he could even chew a few bites, everyone was already standing up to line up. This forced him to desperately stuff the rice in the bowl into his mouth, nearly choking.

Waste is strictly prohibited in the army, and leftovers are not allowed, so you have to eat as much as you take from the basin. Chen Jiang and other new recruits did not know the speed at which the Seventh Company eats, so this first meal left a deep impression on them.

After lunch, the morning training began.

What is different from other companies is that the 7th Steel Company does not follow the prescribed training syllabus at all. The obstacles and difficulties that other companies face in daily training are child's play for the 7th Steel Company.

Chen Jiang and his colleagues saw with their own eyes that the Seventh Company had its own training obstacles, which were 20 centimeters higher than the standard height. This was the standard for the Seventh Company.

The Seventh Company doesn't keep useless people. The top students from other companies are just entry-level students here.

Of course, since Chen Jiang and his team are new recruits, it is impossible for them to train with the same intensity as the veterans. Their task on the first day is to familiarize themselves with the venue and training content, and the rest of the time is to observe.

"You must see with your eyes, feel with your heart, and then practice hard and skillfully! The people of the Seventh Company don't have extra brains or legs than others. The key is practice. Otherwise, even the best talent will be wasted here!"

Wu Liuyi did a handsome cartwheel as he passed by Shi Jin, who was explaining things to Chen Jiang and Bai Tiejun, and ran in place, "Squad leader, do you want to play with us?"

Shi Jin smiled and shook his head, "You go and have fun, I want to teach them!"

"Boring, you should also focus on your own training!" Wu Liuyi didn't say anything else, and ran up. Those who had surpassed him while he was talking were caught up by him one after another, and then left far behind.

"Squad Leader Wu joined the army two years later than me. He was also quite insignificant when he first arrived. However, he relied on his own tenacity to become one of the best trainees in the division."

Shi Jin explained, but he didn't say the most important point, that many of Wu Liuyi's skills were actually taught by him.

Of course Chen Jiang knew all this. He meant no disrespect to Wu Liuyi. Wu Liuyi was a very capable man, but he was one of the targets he had to surpass.

That's why he watched it very carefully just now. The reason why Wu Liuyi could excel in obstacle cross-country was that his upper limb strength was crucial. Maybe his lower limb strength was similar to Wu Liuyi's, but Wu Liuyi's arms were too strong. He could grab the edge of the obstacle wall and exert a little force, then he could jump up. It would naturally be much easier for him to cross the obstacle.

"Squad leader, is there any way to quickly improve upper body strength?"

Shi Jin was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Chen Jiang could see the clues after just watching for a while.
This guy is so annoying. He had to figure it out on his own for a long time at the beginning, and Wu Liuyi only understood the little tricks with his own guidance.

This top student is indeed a top student!
"Chen Jiang, if you want to strengthen your upper body strength, there are two ways. One is easier but takes longer, and the other is quick but very hard. Which one do you want to choose?"
