The next morning.

"We've arrived! We've arrived! Get up, everyone. Straighten your uniforms, button up your tops, put on your caps, and make sure your backpacks are worn straight. Don't wear them crookedly. Let's make a good first impression on your military career."

As Shi Jin's stern shouts echoed, the new recruits gradually woke up, groggily getting up from their chairs to grab their luggage.

"Boss, did you hear that? What's that sound? It's a really scary rumbling sound."

Xu Sanduo shook Jackie Chan's arm, his face full of tension and nervousness.

Cheng Cai looked around nervously, trying to find answers through the glass window, but the angle was wrong and he couldn't see anything.

The other recruits also heard the strange sound and discussed what it was, wondering why they had never heard it before.

"This is……"

Jackie Chan listened carefully and immediately guessed what it was.

The roar of diesel engines, the trembling vibrations of the ground as it is crushed by tracks, and the occasional squeaking of metal scraping together.

In addition, when Shi Jin was telling stories last night, he specifically mentioned that the new recruits were going to a fully mechanized armored regiment.

Taking all these characteristics together, the answer becomes obvious—

Armored tanks!

Jackie Chan, being a seasoned veteran, immediately guessed what was going on. How could Xu Sanduo and the other greenhorns possibly know? It's understandable that they were afraid of that extremely oppressive voice.

"You'll find out what it is once we get out. Hurry up and grab your luggage, don't lose anything."

Jackie Chan didn't explain to Xu Sanduo. Taking advantage of his height, he took the backpack and travel bag with one hand and stuffed them into Xu Sanduo's arms.

For someone who has never seen a tank before, it's impossible to explain what a tank is in a short time; it's better to let him get out and see for himself.

"Oh well."

Xu Sanduo listened to Jackie Chan the most and obediently began to pack his backpack and clothes.

The backpacks, tied with three horizontal and two vertical straps, were loosely bound by the new recruits' poor technique. If they weren't properly secured, they would look particularly unsightly when carried on their backs.

"Alright, now get ready to get off the bus. Everyone stand in the middle of the aisle. Let's do a final check on our luggage so we don't forget anything. Line up and exit from both ends."

Shi Jin issued another new order, and the new recruits followed the instructions to disembark.

"I'm back after 20 years."

Hearing the commands coming from outside and watching the soldiers running past the platform in formation, Jackie Chan felt a special sense of warmth and familiarity.

It feels like coming home!

Following the slowly moving queue, I stepped out of the stuffy, cramped green train carriage and instantly felt incredibly relaxed.

Jackie Chan stretched comfortably, then looked up and jumped out of the train station.

The vast grasslands stretched as far as the eye could see, merging with the horizon and the deep blue sky, bathed in the soft, orange glow of the rising sun.

This scenery...

Absolutely gorgeous!

Turning his gaze back to the station, a familiar figure appeared before Jackie Chan, exchanging salutes with his instructor, Hong Xingguo.

"Gao Cheng, the company commander of the Seventh Steel Company, is stubborn and obstinate, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He always wanted to prove that he could do it himself instead of relying on his father. At the same time, he is also a rare good company commander. I just don't know if he wrote about my father, Junzhang, in his essays when he was a child."

Information about Gao Cheng came to Jackie Chan's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the popular meme from the fan-made video of Soldiers Sortie.

Gao Cheng happened to see this smile.

The first thing Hong Xingguo did when he met Gao Cheng was to report that he had recruited a promising soldier, which immediately piqued Gao Cheng's curiosity.

Following the direction Hong Xingguo pointed, they immediately spotted Jackie Chan a dozen meters away.

Among a group of people who were about 1.6 or 1.7 meters tall, stood a tall man who was 1.92 meters tall with broad shoulders and a thick waist; it was hard not to notice him.

"You mean that big oaf? I don't see anything special about him. He was just laughing at me. He has no discipline at all. You'd better give him a good talking to when we get there."

Gao Cheng gave a stern lecture, seemingly uninterested in Jackie Chan, before continuing his remarks a second later.

"That soldier seems to be a real troublemaker. I need to make an example of him and personally take special care of him. Instructor, I need all his information. Could you get it for me and remember to put it in my office?"

Hong Xingguo initially genuinely believed that Gao Cheng had no interest, and he felt a little disappointed.

After hearing Gao Cheng's next words, he laughed, realizing that Gao Cheng was just being stubborn again, and said with a smile, "I've already prepared it for you. I'll give you the file when we get back."

Jackie Chan was unaware that he had been targeted by the son of a high-ranking officer as soon as he got out of the car and hadn't even stepped into the recruit camp yet, and was now forced to become a commentator.

Several additional carriages were added to the train midway, all loaded with the latest main battle tanks.

The new recruits had heard strange rumbling noises earlier, which were the sounds of the main battle tanks rolling off the trailers, the engine noises, and the vibrations from the tanks rolling over the trailers and the back of the vehicle.

A long row of cars is now parked on the platform, creating a striking visual impact.

The new recruits had never seen such a grand spectacle before, and they were all like Granny Wang entering the Grand View Garden, discussing it with great surprise and astonishment.

Xu Sanduo trusted Jackie Chan the most, so naturally he became entangled with Jackie Chan.

They transformed into curious children, asking all sorts of questions.

As a result, Jackie Chan's narration was so vivid that he didn't even notice that a tank was turning its turret around, and its more than 5-meter-long cannon barrel was passing right by him.

Xu Sanduo didn't notice and just turned his head.

Even though they were nearly two meters apart, it gave him a real fright.

In a panicked retreat, he stepped on his right toe with his left heel, tripped himself, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The other recruits, seeing his disheveled state, all pointed at him and burst into laughter.

Jackie Chan smiled too, a smile of relief.

Fortunately, thanks to his earnest teachings from childhood, there are two things a man should never do casually: kneel down and raise his hands.

Unlike in the original story, Xu Sanduo was not frightened by the tank and surrendered here, which left Gao Cheng with an extremely bad impression.

Shih Chin-hui's discharge from the military due to a decline in performance caused by injury actually originated from this incident.

Now that Xu Sanduo hasn't done that action, which is the most disdainful and despised action in the army, it's like a good start.

Jackie Chan believes that with this good start, this journey to make up for past regrets will definitely go more and more smoothly.

however.

Although Xu Sanduo did not violate any major taboos in the army, this cowardly and weak scene still made Gao Cheng's face darken instantly.

The 702nd Regiment is a long-established elite regiment, and every soldier there is exceptional.

But what about Xu Sanduo?

Even though there was an iron pipe just a few meters away, it scared him so much that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground. It was utterly embarrassing.

Although Xu Sanduo tripped over his own legs, from Gao Cheng's perspective, it looked like his legs went weak.

If your legs are weak, you're as good as bones; you're as bad as a coward.

Gao Cheng despises cowardly soldiers the most!
