Chapter 290 The squad leader's recovery crisis!
Time flies, and it is already the end of August.

The hot summer, with the gradual departure of August, has lost its original heat. This is something to be pleased about, but for the soldiers of the army, it is obviously not the case.

August is destined to be a day of sorrow. As the saying goes, recruits celebrate the New Year, and veterans recover. The recruits stay in the army for a full year, fade away the greenness of the recruits, and wait for the new batch of recruits to report. The day when the veterans recover also comes at the same time. There are some veterans who want to take off their military uniforms, leave the familiar barracks, and leave the familiar comrades in arms...

Squad leader Sun Xin faced such a choice this year, either he succeeded in being transferred from a first-level non-commissioned officer to a second-level non-commissioned officer and stayed in the army, or he failed and left, leaving the uniform and the barracks for the rest of his life.

If it was a few months ago, Sun Xin would not have to worry at all. Based on his military quality and his performance in the army on weekdays, he would undoubtedly pass the assessment and become a second-level non-commissioned officer and stay in the army...

However, today is different from the past, a knife in the chest has had a considerable impact on his body, of course the most important thing is the injury on his wrist, the tendons in his hand are severed, it is far from being able to recover in just a few months.

Looking down at his wrist, looking at the hideous scar on it, and thinking of his uncertain future, a touch of melancholy crept up his cheeks.

Sun Xin comes from the countryside. His family makes a living by farming, and life has always been tight. A few years ago, the family planted fruit trees, and it has gradually improved in the past two years. The family also needs help, but he doesn't want to go back, and he doesn't want to leave the house. His limited life was wasted in mechanical labor, he wanted to stay in the army, he wanted to wear this uniform.

It was just such a simple wish, but it became a little out of reach for him at this time, because of the injury on his wrist and because of the increasingly fierce competition.

Originally, it was not difficult for a first-level non-commissioned officer to be transferred to a second-level non-commissioned officer. As long as the military is good, it will be fine. However, as the salary of the army improves, more and more people want to stay in the army, and the competition will naturally increase. The big ones, especially the reconnaissance company, need more fresh blood. The number of places is small, and the competition is even greater.

"My ancestor, today you must live up to it." Staring at his right wrist, Sun Xin prayed secretly, today is the day of the assessment, success or failure depends on one action.

Noticing Sun Xin's concern, Xu Yan leaned over and asked, "Squad leader, are your hands alright?"

Sun Xin suppressed the worries in his heart, grinned and said, "Almost fully recovered, the problem is not serious!"

"Okay, then let's wish the squad leader a successful start!" Xu Yan waved his fist and said.

"Flag open to victory!" Luo Yifei, Jiang Danian and others echoed, and amidst the cheers, a group of people surrounded Sun Xin to the playground.

...

On the training ground.

The crowds were crowded, the veterans who participated in the assessment, and the recruits who came to cheer, everyone rushed to the playground.

It is not a small matter for many veterans, or even the entire army, for the non-commissioned officers to enter the second assessment. Therefore, the army did not train this day, and all the training grounds were reserved for the veterans. Today is their stage Whether to stay in the army and shed blood and sweat in the army, or leave the army and stay away from this familiar camp, everything will be decided here.

Xu Yan and others surrounded Sun Xin and came to the playground. At this time, many people had already gathered on the playground. Everyone in the third class encouraged Sun Xin to cheer him up. The assessment will start soon.

The assessment is divided into two parts, namely basic subjects and professional subjects.

Sun Xin has basically no problem with professional subjects, mainly basic subjects, because they are all about physical fitness, including five kilometers of armed cross-country, 800 meters of comprehensive drills, 400 meters of obstacles, push-ups, sit-ups and so on.

Five-kilometer armed cross-country and sit-ups and other subjects that do not require arm strength are not a big problem for Sun Xin, but push-ups, 800-meter comprehensive drills, 400-meter obstacles, etc., which rely more on arm strength, for Sun Xin, But it is a great challenge.

The assessment was going on in an orderly manner, and there would be cheers and cheers from time to time. Soon it was Sun Xin's turn. After the examiner called his name, he walked forward slowly.

"Squad leader, come on!" Xu Yan waved his fists to cheer him up.

Sun Xin turned his head, his eyes swept over the faces of Xu Yan and the others, and then he turned back to the examiner, his back was firm and desolate.

The assessment is going on one by one, five kilometers of armed cross-country, sit-ups, push-ups...

In the five-kilometer armed cross-country and sit-ups, Sun Xin performed very well, but in the push-ups, he had a very difficult time. The hand tendons that had not yet fully healed made it difficult for him to exert force on his wrists, even if he deliberately moved his body. The center of gravity shifted towards the left hand side, but it still didn't help. Halfway through the push-ups, his right hand began to tremble, his hand muscles began to throb, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his cheeks, but he tried his best to persist, once, twice ,three times…

Sun Xin mechanically repeated the ups and downs, the sweat on his forehead gradually became thicker, and the pain on his wrists aggravated slightly, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. If he wanted to stay in the army, he would only have a chance if he passed the assessment.

"Squad leader!"

Everyone in the third class looked at Sun Xin like this, their eyes turned red, and they wished they could replace them with their bodies, especially Xu Yan, who clenched his fists tightly, his nails reaching deep into his palms, but he didn't feel it at all.

It was all because of him that Sun Xin was injured. He once told himself in his heart that he would never want to experience the deep sense of powerlessness in this life, but seeing Sun Xin gritted his teeth while enduring the injury, the sense of powerlessness flooded into his heart again. It was even worse than encountering a strong enemy, because at least he could fight to the death, but who would he fight with now?This is Sun Xin's assessment. All he can do is watch silently, pray sincerely, and cheer loudly!

"Squad leader, come on!" Xu Yan shouted with red eyes.

"Squad leader, come on, there are still ten left!" Everyone in the third class shouted in unison, and began to count down.

As if he heard the cheering voice of his comrades in arms and was encouraged by him, perhaps because he was not willing to admit defeat, Sun Xin's crumbling body stood up again.

Nine!eight!seven…

He lowered his body again and again, and tried to hold it up again and again. It seemed that his palms were not only holding up his gradually heavy body, but also his dreams and persistence.

three!
two!
One!

In the final counting sound, Sun Xin bent down again, then stood up tremblingly, completing the push-up assessment with difficulty.

"Squad leader, great job!" Everyone cheered and rushed up, helping him up from the ground in a hurry.

At this time, Sun Xin's face was extremely pale, and his whole body was already drenched with sweat. Seeing everyone cheering for him, a smile appeared on his pale face, but the smile disappeared in a flash, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After finishing this set of push-ups, his wrists are already overwhelmed. In the following 800-meter comprehensive exercise, there are still many places that need to rely on arm strength. Can he really pass it smoothly?
