Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 235 The "Soul" of the Steel Seventh Company Was Found (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

He Hongtao was Jackie Chan's real instructor. He personally sent Jackie Chan to the Grassland Fifth Squad and witnessed Jackie Chan's growth all the way.

When Jackie Chan became a legend in the 702nd Regiment, Jackie Chan also became an honor for He Hongtao.

Throughout the entire regiment, division, and even the entire army, the most outstanding soldiers are the soldiers under their own command, and every political instructor is proud of them.

Jackie Chan left when he had become a true dragon, and now that true dragon has flown away, he has returned to the grassy ground where he once soared, and he has come to find him.

How could this not excite He Hongtao?

What He Hongtao didn't know was that Jackie Chan had no other choice but to use his name because he had no other options.

But that doesn't matter!

Infected by He Hongtao's excitement, Jackie Chan happily lifted He Hongtao high in the air as He Hongtao ran over.

Seeing that He Hongtao, who is not thin and is at least 140 cm tall, was easily lifted up by Jackie Chan.

"My god, she's so strong?!"

People are picked up and carried everywhere, but lifting someone up with both arms horizontally is something I've never seen before in my life. The guards on duty were dumbfounded.

"No, no, no, my old body can't take it."

He Hongtao was put down from the air by Jackie Chan. Still in shock, he laughed and scolded, "Your strength is getting more and more abnormal, and you're taller than before. You're as strong as an ox."

"Luckily you went to the elite A unit and became a top soldier. If you had stayed in the 702nd Regiment, who could stand you? Haha."

Sudden.

When he saw the 13 cents on Jackie Chan's clothes, his smile widened.

Patting Jackie Chan's chest, he said with the satisfaction of an old father, "Good, good, good, it's good that you've been promoted. With your abilities, you should have been promoted long ago."

Becoming an officer is a good thing; it will allow for better career development in the military.

It took me ten years to become a captain after I started from military school, and I was only promoted one rank this year. You, on the other hand, became a captain in just one year.

You can't compare! You really can't compare people. You have a limitless future ahead of you, you're bound to be amazing!

At this rate of development, when you come back next time, I might even have to call you "Commander," haha.

He Hongtao praised Jackie Chan profusely, but it still wasn't enough.

He glanced around, looking for someone to vent his anger on, and happened to spot the bewildered guard next to him. He immediately boasted, "Do you know who he is? Do you know who he is?"

He was the soldier king who captured the lieutenant colonel of the A-team alive back then, and single-handedly raided a main position during an exercise, taking down more than 30 reconnaissance soldiers and special forces soldiers.

"How about that? Isn't he amazing? He's the best in our 702nd Regiment."

He Hongtao embellished it artistically, but who cares about that at this point?

"One person took down more than thirty special forces soldiers?"

The guards, fresh out of military academy and clueless, who had been assigned to stand guard, believed everything the deputy instructor He Hongtao said.

I was immediately stunned!

He stared at Jackie Chan with his mouth agape and eyes wide open, his eyes filled with admiration.

That look...

It's like watching a god of war!

He Hongtao's praises were so exaggerated that even Jackie Chan, the person involved, couldn't stand it anymore, nor could he bear the intense gazes of the guards on duty.

He quickly changed the subject, jokingly saying, "Hey instructor, we've come all this way from hundreds of miles away, are you just going to leave us here in the wind like this? Shouldn't you take us inside and give us a proper welcome?"

"Yes, yes, look at my brain, I was so excited I forgot everything."

He Hongtao slapped his forehead and said while calling out, "Come with me, everyone. Let's go in and have a good chat. It's been more than a year since we last met. I've missed you so much."

Cheng Cai, Xu Sanduo, you two come along too, let's go to my place.

He Hongtao enthusiastically led the way, constantly introducing the various changes that had taken place in the 702nd Regiment during the year that Jackie Chan had been away.

He himself was promoted from political instructor of the Third Company to deputy political instructor of the First Battalion.

After serving as the training team leader in Gaocheng for more than half a year, he was at the critical juncture of promotion, but ultimately had to leave the 702nd Regiment because there was no suitable position in the regiment, and went to work in the division's directly subordinate reconnaissance battalion.

When he left, Gao Cheng was still very nostalgic and took several promising young soldiers with him.

He Hongtao, like an elder, tirelessly recounted various events, big and small, to Jackie Chan and his companions who had returned home after many years away.

As they talked and walked.

Sudden.

A familiar voice came from over.

"Zhou Yi!"

"arrive!"

How many people were in the Sixth Company of the Red Army?

"The Sixth Company of the Red Army had a total of 5,103 soldiers. I was the 5,103rd soldier in the Sixth Company. Before me, 5,102 soldiers had passed by. There were many of them whose names we have lost, but we will always remember them..."

This incredibly familiar conversation, like magnets and iron, drew Jackie Chan and his two companions over.

The Steel Seventh Company is long gone, so how could I hear about the Steel Seventh Company's ceremony?

Could it be a hallucination caused by missing someone so much?

Jackie Chan couldn't help but quicken his pace, and Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cai also started jogging. The three of them arrived at the edge of the playground and saw a group of people lined up.

The moment I saw this group of people, I heard that familiar ritualistic dialogue.

Even someone as resolute as Jackie Chan couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

The scene before my eyes.

so similar!

It looks so much like it!

The ceremony was exactly the same as the one Jackie Chan took when he joined the Steel Seventh Company and swore an oath on the parade ground. There was no difference whatsoever.

Xu Sanduo was a sentimental person, and this scene almost brought tears to his eyes.

Cheng Cai, who had already lost the spirit of the Steel Seventh Company, felt his head explode when he saw this scene, recalling the scene when he first stepped into the Steel Seventh Company.

It flashed before his eyes like a slideshow.

Cheng Cai's eyes reddened!

Getting more and more popular...

Until something sparkling appeared and slowly slid down the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Cheng Cai fully realized that he had missed out on too much and let down too many people back then, and the mistakes he made could not be made up for.

Because the past can never be returned, and the lost beauty can never be made up for.

It is precisely because of this irreparable loss and the intense pain it brings that Cheng Cai cherishes the present moment even more and understands how to walk the path ahead.

It was like a baptism of the soul!

Cheng Cai, who made mistakes starting from the Seventh Steel Company, returned to this place where he began, underwent a spiritual cleansing, and rediscovered his direction in life.

Never abandon! Never give up!

These six large, gleaming gold-plated characters have once again deeply settled into the depths of Cheng Cai's soul.

This time...

I will never forget!

He Hongtao sensed the intense emotions of Cheng Long and the other two, and said with feeling, "Your old Seventh Company is gone, but you have become even more useful than before."

Those who came out of the training team not only brought the excellent skills of the Steel Seventh Company to various companies, but also brought out the highly honorable rituals of your old Seventh Company, which were passed on to various companies.

Although the disbandment of the Steel Seventh Company is a bit of a pity, that's how things should be.

No matter how outstanding a single company is, it doesn't represent the entire regiment's combat effectiveness. Becoming a training unit to cultivate talent for the entire regiment allows the Steel Seventh Company to better fulfill its role.

"That's good. The spirit of the Steel Seventh Company has survived."

Jackie Chan suppressed his turbulent emotions and revealed a bright smile, saying, "On the surface, the Steel Seventh Company is gone, but in fact, the Steel Seventh Company has always been there."

Look, the Sixth Red Company has the shadow of the Seventh Steel Company, and other companies in the 702nd Regiment also have the shadow of the Seventh Steel Company. Doesn't that mean the Seventh Steel Company has always been there?

Moreover, it's not just limited to a single company; it has been elevated to the level of a whole regiment, making the spirit of the Steel Seventh Company omnipresent.

"Well said! The spirit of the Steel Seventh Company will live on forever in the 702nd Regiment."

He Hongtao strongly agreed with Jackie Chan's statement and suggested with great interest, "How about we go see the Steel Seventh Company? See your old company?"

"No need to go, I've already seen it."

Jackie Chan's gaze remained fixed on the parade ground, where the new recruits were being inducted into the company. A smile played on his lips; this was the Steel Seventh Company in his heart.

I'm so pleased, and things will be even brighter!

"Xu Sanduo, Cheng Cai, where are you?" He Hongtao asked in turn.

"I'm not going either," Xu Sanduo shook his head.

"Reporting to the deputy instructor, the Seventh Steel Company, I've seen him. He's there, right before my eyes, and he's etched into my heart."

Cheng Cai wiped his wet eyes and revealed an unprecedentedly relaxed smile.

"Okay, then I won't go."

He Hongtao could sense the three men's emotions, and with a slight smile, he greeted them, "It's getting late. Why don't you come to my place to rest? I'll arrange a place for you, and we can have a few drinks together tonight."

"Okay, thank you for your help, instructor."

Seeing that the sun had already set, Jackie Chan accepted He Hongtao's invitation.

He Hongtao has his own house at the battalion headquarters, where he usually lives with his wife and children. Coincidentally, his wife and children have gone back to her parents' home, so the room is now empty.

As a good man who can lead troops and manage a family well, He Hongtao quickly prepared a hot pot meal.

Specialty electric rice cooker hot pot!

He Hongtao was worried that he couldn't handle Cheng Long and his two companions, so he specially called over the company commander and political instructor who lived next door to help him save face.

He also had the communications officer make a phone call to tell the deputy battalion commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion that there were a few old buddies here.

Gao Cheng was surprised to hear that Jackie Chan was looking for him.

I was so happy!

They immediately replied to the communications officer of the First Battalion, saying that someone would be sent to pick them up first thing the next morning.

If it weren't so late today, and the distance from the division's reconnaissance battalion to the 702nd Regiment wasn't so far, Gao Cheng would have been eager to drive over and pick them up himself.

The company commander and political instructor, who were invited to help, learned that three elite soldiers from Brigade A were "returning home".

One of them was a big star back then.

The two of them readily agreed.

They even brought over two extra bottles of wine, putting on an air of determination that they were going to have a tough fight tonight, to show the elite soldiers what they were capable of.

There's meat, vegetables, wine, and a big hot pot.

The atmosphere was just right.

Six people sat around a table and started eating!

"Come on, let's drink a glass to rinse our mouths first."

The company commander boldly raised his two-ounce cup, tilted his head back, and set an example for everyone.

"good!"

Jackie Chan was not intimidated at all and drank it all in one gulp as well.

We agreed to drink our way through the journey, so tonight we absolutely cannot back down.
