Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

What's so different about us soldiers?

Simply because we were all wearing plain military uniforms.

What's different about us soldiers?

Since leaving my hometown, I've rarely seen my parents.

They're different, but they're also the same.

They are all in the prime of their youth, all passionate young men.

……

The resounding military songs echoed throughout the train station. The song "The Soldier" praised the value of soldiers in peacetime, expressed the heroic sentiments of soldiers in the new era, and reflected the great sentiments and noble outlook on life of soldiers who are willing to sacrifice everything to defend the country.

The new recruits, about to enter the military camp, wearing frog-skin uniforms and adorned with big red flowers, marched in under Shi Jin's leadership, accompanied by loud military songs.

Perhaps it was the song that stirred their hearts, or perhaps it was their anticipation of the upcoming military life.

The new recruits all blushed like monkey bottoms.

Jackie Chan stood out in the crooked line, towering over everyone else, exuding a composure beyond his years, walking calmly and steadily at the back of the group.

Not to mention the ordinary people who were watching or seeing him off, everyone who saw Jackie Chan pointed and exclaimed in astonishment.

"Whose child is this? How can he be so strong! He's like a mountain!"

Even Hung Hsing-kuo, who had met Jackie Chan before, couldn't help but praise him when he saw Jackie Chan looking even more imposing in his new recruit uniform.

"Minister Liu, look at this, look at this, what a promising young soldier! I never expected, I never expected, that I could find such a gem in your small county. This trip was definitely worthwhile."

It's clear that Hung Hsing-kuo genuinely likes Jackie Chan; it's from the bottom of his heart.

"He's definitely a promising talent. I've been in the army for many years, but I've never met anyone who can compare to him. When this kid earns merit and receives awards in the army, I'll definitely carry him home myself, haha."

The thought that Jackie Chan had come from his school made Minister Liu grin from ear to ear.

"That's for sure. As long as he's willing to work hard, a second-class merit is guaranteed, and a first-class merit isn't out of the question either. Even the foreign special forces soldiers who win awards in international competitions don't have physical fitness as good as Jackie Chan."

Hong Xingguo frequently reads various military newspapers and has a deep understanding of the military. He has high hopes for Jackie Chan.

"First-class merit? My goodness, that's incredible! Our whole county will be honored!"

"This kid is in such good physical condition, and he's also a top student from the Capital University. He has both a strong body and a sharp mind. Such talent is extremely rare. I'm really looking forward to seeing him."

……

Minister Liu and Hong Xingguo discussed Jackie Chan, looking forward to Jackie Chan's future growth in the army. The new recruits had all entered the platform.

"Halt! One, two, one! Halt! Right turn! At ease!"

With the crisp command of time, the crookedly standing recruits stopped facing the railway tracks, waiting for the train to arrive and for them to board.

Parents who had been waiting for so long could no longer hold back their emotions at the thought of not being able to see their children for three years.

They rushed forward, each searching for their own child.

The queue was dismantled on the spot!

Each new recruit was surrounded by a large group of people.

Some were reluctant to part with their tears, some were nagging and giving advice, some were encouraging and cheering them on, some were making grand promises, and some were stuffing them with all sorts of food and supplies.

All sorts of voices converged, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

Shi Jin kept reminding the new recruits to maintain their formation, but it had no effect whatsoever. He had no choice but to give up and temporarily step aside.

Let the parents and relatives who are about to part with their son feel a sense of warmth in the final moments of their separation.

Cheng Guoqiang squeezed in with his wife. Although she was not even as tall as Cheng Long's shoulder when standing next to him, it did not affect his mood at all; in fact, it made him even more proud and happy.

Both sons joined the army, with the eldest son being the most eye-catching, handsome, and robust recruit.

It's hard for him, as the father, not to be happy.

Unable to reach his eldest son Jackie Chan's shoulder, he patted Jackie Chan's chest and put his arm around his younger son Cheng Cai's shoulder, constantly giving his two beloved sons instructions.

"You must work hard in the army, make a name for yourself, and bring honor to our Cheng family."

"The older brother must take care of the younger brother, and the two brothers must work together in any situation."

"If there's a chance to be promoted to officer, I must try my best to seize it. Being an officer is more promising than being a soldier. It would be glorious to become a regimental commander or something."

……

As a man, Cheng Guoqiang values ​​face more and things that are invisible and intangible. All the things he tells him to do are about bringing honor to his ancestors.

Jackie Chan was completely uninterested in these empty titles, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

Cheng Cai, on the other hand, values ​​these things highly.

Cheng Cai nodded heavily at every word his father, Cheng Guoqiang, said, excitedly declaring that things would definitely turn out this way or that way.

Two words filled his eyes with fervor—

Ambitious and confident!

As a woman, Cheng's mother was more pragmatic. She helped Cheng Long and Cheng Cai straighten their clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles and fixing the parts that weren't properly worn.

He always spoke with gentle concern, reminding the two brothers to be careful, to wear more clothes when it was cold, and to eat more so they wouldn't get too thin.

Every word is filled with a mother's love, her worry and reluctance to let her son go on his long journey.

Compared to Cheng Guoqiang's various "wishes," Jackie Chan was more touched by his mother's concern and couldn't help but hug her.

My mother's eyes were already brimming with tears!

Compared to the normal scene of family members being separated, with the father being affectionate and the mother loving, Xu Sanduo on the other side is more mischievous.

"Wow, you little bastard, you look great in your new clothes. Come on, turn around and let me see you."

Xu Baishun finally fulfilled his dream of having a son join the army, and he was extremely happy and excited, grinning and showing off his big yellow teeth. He couldn't stop smiling.

He tugged at Xu Sanduo's clothes and spun him around once, not satisfied. He then tugged at Xu Sanduo's clothes again and said, "Looks good, really good. My goodness, you really are my little rascal. Come on, spin around in the opposite direction again."

"No, the boss said that soldiers have a soul. Once you put on the uniform, you can't do whatever you want."

Xu Sanduo looked around at all these people, and felt so ashamed of himself spinning around like a monkey. He decided to quit.

They stood still, refusing to move.

After being educated by Jackie Chan for so many years, it has had some effect.

Although he's still a bit dull, he's developed some individuality.

"Oh dear, you've only just joined the army and you're already disobeying your father? Calling him 'boss' this and 'boss' that. Did your son, Chengjia, give birth to you and raise you?"

Xu Baishun's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose.

"Dad, you promised my squad leader you wouldn't call me a turtle son anymore," Xu Sanduo muttered, looking down, surprisingly knowing how to change the subject.

"I gave birth to you, so what's wrong with calling you a turtle son?"

Xu Baishun glanced guiltily at Shi Jin in the distance, lowered his voice and argued, "Your squad leader is a good guy. Stick close to him when you get to the army, and he'll take a bullet for you if a battle breaks out."

"No, the boss told me that soldiers shouldn't be afraid of sacrifice. I'll take a bullet for my squad leader," Xu Sanduo said solemnly, raising his head.

"Stop blocking my way, you're asking for a beating."

Enraged, Xu Baishun reached out to hit him, saying, "What kind of country is this without you? Why are you so brave? Living is the most important thing; if you die, you have nothing left."

"Dad, you hit me again. You broke your promise."

Having been trained by Jackie Chan, Xu Sanduo easily dodged Xu Baishun's attack.

Even while hiding, she had a sudden inspiration and even had time to sing "Goodbye, Mother," a song that is now popular all over the country and became popular because of the Southern Defense War.

The lyrics contain many words about sacrifice, concern, and reluctance to part with one's mother.

At this special moment when the new recruits are about to embark on their journey, leaving their hometowns to serve their country, it immediately resonated with all the new recruits present.

Everyone couldn't help but start singing.

Xu Baishun stopped chasing and hitting, but he was still shouting, "Stop singing, your mother is long dead, you have to live for me."

But she couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes, and they streamed down her face.

She's all bark and no bite!
