Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 254 The high school team is envious of Jackie Chan!

The "Hell Week" that Wild Wolves arranged for newbies is a standard imported concept.

First implemented by the U.S. Navy SEALs, it is the most grueling training phase in the SEALs' selection and training program.

It usually lasts about five to six days, which is the standard working week in the United States.

Because Sundays are holidays, and the same applies to soldiers.

The most distinctive feature of Hell Week can be summed up in one word—

"boil"!

I only slept for a little over 4 hours in total, and the last day was a 24-hour non-stop, almost 130-plus hours of high-intensity training.

Food is strictly limited, making it impossible to get enough to eat.

To endure such a long period of hunger and exhaustion, one would need a strong physical foundation; otherwise, it would be impossible to persevere.

Only the rookies who can survive Hell Week can usher in the real start of the selection process.

Just like if you want to carve a beautiful jade pendant, the first step is to choose a good piece of jade. If the jade is of poor quality, no matter how you carve it, it will be useless.

The same reason.

The purpose of Hell Week is to select rookies who meet the physical fitness standards.

Wild Wolf clearly pays close attention to international military affairs, which is why he learned the excellent idea of ​​Hell Week and used it in this training camp selection.

The goal is to select the best candidates to be molded into special forces soldiers through a six-day hellish week.

In the words of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, this process is called rust removal, which involves picking out the rusted scrap iron and leaving only the usable refined iron.

Then, this refined iron will be forged and tempered a thousand times to become high-quality steel capable of undertaking great tasks.

Hell Week is that important.

The training difficulty goes without saying.

Even though they were all elite soldiers from various companies, most of them couldn't hold on.

Hell Week is still a novelty in this era, and the Wolf Fang Brigade was the first to officially use it. However, in the 21st century, it has become a standard feature for our army in selecting special forces soldiers, and every special forces unit uses it.

In his past life, Jackie Chan was a special training instructor and participated in Hell Week no less than a hundred times.

I'm so familiar with this thing that I'm numb to it.

There's not much to say about Hell Week; it's simply a series of high-intensity physical training exercises that eliminate anyone who can't handle it.

Jackie Chan has really little interest in things he's tired of from his past life.

From the very first night, during the first project, everyone did push-ups for two hours straight, while the wolves grilled meat and kept tempting the newbies who hadn't eaten a single grain of rice since noon yesterday.

Jackie Chan didn't participate; he sat there enjoying his barbecue and beer with great relish, making the newbies' mouths water.

The final assessment, the "Hell Week" test, lasted until the very end—a 30-kilometer comprehensive extreme test.

This includes live-fire shooting drills, three-position terrain leaps, small group kayaking in shallow waters, crossing minefields, crossing rivers with high-pressure water cannons, small group log carrying, and 10-kilometer cross-country running under low oxygen conditions with gas masks...

Including more than a dozen smaller projects, this is the final hurdle for newbies to comprehensively test their skills.

Jackie Chan didn't get involved much.

As a special training instructor who has come here to carry out big projects, having Jackie Chan participate in this kind of basic training that doesn't involve much skill is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Wild Wolf and his pack of lone wolves were having a great time.

Wild Wolf learned from military newspapers and foreign military sources, as well as from training manuals issued by his superiors, and selected many new training methods that had not been used before.

By combining these training programs with established projects, a new training model has been created.

It's not only new to wild wolves, requiring actual training to test its effectiveness, but also novel to gray wolves, hyenas, and other similar animals.

It was something they had never seen before, and it captivated them greatly.

However, this was new to the lone wolves, but for Jackie Chan, it was nothing new, if not outdated; it was something he was used to.

It's not even as good as the special training of the Old A; what Yuan Lang did was much more interesting.

Jackie Chan really wasn't interested!

We're only in the selection phase for Group B members right now. There's no need to use Jackie Chan's cutting-edge training methods on these rookies.

We'll have to wait until the membership is finalized.

There's no point in forcing it out for training.

These newbies haven't even passed the easy challenges, so how can they be qualified to challenge Jackie Chan's difficult mode?

The only thing that interested Jackie Chan was finding an opportunity to teach the unruly Zhuang Yan a lesson.

During this inhuman, hellish training week, everyone was tortured to the point that they forgot they were still human beings, and their brains had long lost the ability to think.

Every day, all I know is to numbly obey orders and rely on willpower to endure repeated physical training.

Zhuang Yan was also "dumbed out" by the training!

Gone are the sharp edges of the past; like all rookies, they have lost their individuality and thinking, becoming numb training machines.

He repeated similar training every day and stopped trying to cause trouble.

The troublemaker suddenly became well-behaved, and Jackie Chan's only source of amusement disappeared.

I have no interest in getting involved.

As Hell Week progressed day by day, newbies were eliminated one after another, revealing the brutality of Hell Week.

But in the end, only sixteen members remained, with nearly twenty rookies being eliminated.

A grueling, hellish week.

It's finally over.

Perhaps Jackie Chan was having too much of a comfortable time during Hell Week, just going through the motions every day and not caring about anything.

Old Gao couldn't stand it anymore; he wouldn't allow Jackie Chan to be so leisurely.

I've decided to find some work for Jackie Chan!

then.

Using his position as head instructor, Wild Wolf formally ordered Jackie Chan to lead the team and conduct the next training session.

He simply sits in his office, leisurely directing operations remotely.

He even pulled that big face and said:

"I'm getting old and can't keep going anymore. Young people need to shoulder the burden and share the pressure with the older generation. Especially someone as outstanding as you should set an example. We can't let talent go to waste."

Jackie Chan found the wolf's explanation both laughable and absurd.

This acting is so fake!

However, "a higher rank can crush a person," and the bishop, Wild Wolf, wanted to lie low and become a hands-off manager, leaving Jackie Chan with no choice but to step in.

So what if I'm bored?

It was purely to reminisce about the past.

The first phase of training focuses on physical fitness, while the second phase mainly focuses on skills.

The training program was dubbed "Devil's Camp" by the wolves, and the training was moved to a new location—a tent camp set up on a lawn in the woods.

The tents included those for newbies (dormitory tents), command and meeting tents, officer tents, lone wolf instructor tents, logistics support tents, living tents, and military supplies.

There are eight tents in total, scattered throughout the campsite.

The newbies were brought over in tarpaulin trucks, and at the hyenas' shouts, they got off the trucks and gathered in the open space in the middle, looking completely bewildered.

The newbies have become numb from all the training and have lost all ability to think.

When the wolf was sitting comfortably, the shopkeeper got out of the car and went straight to the command tent, never showing himself.

Jackie Chan became the executor of the Devil Camp. He handed over all the tasks, such as reading out the subjects, to Grey Wolf, while he stood behind him with his hands behind his back, pretending to be deep and serious.

It's actually just laziness!

Gray Wolf was still very diligent when he got to work. Holding the electronic megaphone, he said, "Now, the next subject is officially announced."

The next subject is extremely challenging. Do you all have the confidence to complete it?

"have."

The newbies, who had been tormented for a week, answered listlessly.

"I can't hear you," the gray wolf shouted.

Yes~ Yes~ Yes~

The newbies, fearing further torment, quickly shouted three times at the top of their lungs.

"Very good, very energetic."

The gray wolf smiled with satisfaction and announced, "The next project consists of three parts: taking a bath, having a meal, and sleeping. Are you confident you can complete it?"

"have--"

When the newbies heard that it was one of these three projects, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they laughed and shouted with all their might.

"Wait a moment."

Jackie Chan's sudden interruption made the novices panic again.

Thinking that Jackie Chan, who had been silent throughout Hell Week, would make his appearance at this moment to dominate them, the rookies were so frightened that their smiles froze.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Jackie Chan slowly said, "I'll add one more thing: I haven't slept for ten hours. I don't want to see anyone come out and answer whether I can do it."

"Yes~~"

After a tense moment, it turned out to be a joke, and the newbies responded with a deafening roar.

"Disband~"

Jackie Chan gave the order.

Wow~

Upon hearing this unprecedentedly beautiful sound, the newbies excitedly roared and charged straight towards the tent with the washroom hanging on it.

"Daily training is really boring. I'm really looking forward to seeing how these rookies perform in real combat."

Jackie Chan watched as the rookies rushed into the washing tents. He didn't linger on the playground either. Instead, he walked with his hands behind his back towards the old man and entered the command tent.

Jackie Chan needs to have a good talk with Wild Wolf.

What does it mean to be vigorous in old age? What does it mean to be an old horse still eager to run?

Gao Zhong is not even forty years old. How can he move behind the scenes at such a young age? He should continue to work hard and shine on the front line.

Instructors like Jackie Chan, who are on loan from elsewhere, should be enjoying a leisurely life of relaxation.

pity.

Gao Dazhuang seemed to have suddenly realized what a leisurely life was all about.

Ignoring Jackie Chan's bluff, he chose to remain comfortably in his command tent, directing from behind the scenes and delegating all authority to Jackie Chan.

A wolf wouldn't be so foolish as to leave someone more capable than itself unused.

"This old fox is not easy to fool. It seems I'll have to do all the hard work for him."

Jackie Chan shook his head helplessly.

There's no time to slack off now; it's time to officially start work.

The newbies had finished showering and came out to find a row of tables set up in the open space outside, with a feast prepared by the cooks.

Not only did they have plenty of meat and fish, but they also thoughtfully provided beer for everyone.

The newbie, who had been starving for a week, was so excited to see all this big fish and meat that his eyes lit up. He couldn't believe it and wondered if he was hallucinating.

"Brothers, we've made it through! We've finally made it from hell to heaven! Charge!"

Qiang Xiaowei was the first to react. With his loud shouts, all the rookies snapped out of their daze and rushed forward with gleaming eyes.

Chicken, duck, fish, braised pork belly, red-braised pork...

The newbies were like starving ghosts reincarnated; they ran over and didn't even need chopsticks, grabbing everything with their hands and stuffing whatever they could get their hands on into their mouths.

Showing off big chunks of meat while gulping down beer.

This feeling of satisfaction made them all feel that all the hardships they had endured were worthwhile.

Jackie Chan stood next to the kitchen cart, holding a whole stewed chicken, eating heartily while watching the rookies go crazy.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "Youth is truly wonderful!"

Although Jackie Chan is only in his early twenties, he is about the same age as the newbies.

However, the maturity he gained from living two lives gave him more advantages and allowed him to skip youth and go directly to maturity in this life.

He couldn't possibly get excited about a big meal like a normal young man.

This is the only regret!

After celebrating the end of the first phase of training and welcoming the second phase with a celebratory meal, the well-fed rookies returned to their dormitories and began to sleep soundly.

The newbies were exhausted after sleeping only four hours in six days.

Back in the dorm, they took out the bedding from behind their backs, spread it on the bed, and lay down. Within three minutes, all the newbies had fallen into a deep sleep.

Jackie Chan brought Mada to the dormitory and was deeply moved when he saw the group of exhausted rookies in front of him.

They were the backbone of the reconnaissance company selected from the entire military region, and in just six days, only 16 rookies were eliminated.

Hell Week did indeed achieve its purpose, filtering out those unsuitable individuals who could not endure the pain, exhaustion, and mental torment.

They retained promising players who could continue training.

However, eliminating two-thirds of the contestants was only the beginning of the training and selection process; even more challenging tasks awaited them.

No one knows how many will ultimately remain.

Even Jackie Chan!

The butterfly's wings have already fluttered.

The motor was like a kind mother, tiptoeing over and covering each of the newbies with a blanket.

For those who were so tired that they forgot to take off their shoes, Mada would take care of them by taking off their shoes and adjusting their bodies so they could rest in a more comfortable position.

"That old sergeant Mada is a real gem; a mature team like ours is indispensable."

Upon witnessing this scene, Jackie Chan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The next morning!

After a good night's sleep, the rookies finally recovered from their exhaustion and hunger and officially began their second phase of training.

The second phase of training begins with individual conversations with the newbies.

Similar to Old A's assessment meeting, Wild Wolf, Jackie Chan, and a staff officer from the Wolf Fang Brigade sat at the front, while the rookies came in one by one to be questioned.

The difference lies in Old A's evaluation; if someone is deemed unqualified, they are directly eliminated.

Wolf Fang's conversation seemed more like a probing exercise.

The wolf asked every newbie who came in the same two questions.

The first question is: Why did you become a special forces soldier?

The second scenario is: if you are deep behind enemy lines and your comrade is wounded and unable to continue with the team, but the mission must be completed, what would you do?

The two questions target different aspects and can assess each newbie's personality and behavior style.

The objective is also very clear.

It's about gathering information in advance for the final selection.

After completing the meeting and gathering information, Wild Wolf took the data to the Wolf Fang Brigade base, leaving Jackie Chan in charge of all training matters.

"Hell Week training is for kids. You barely passed. There's nothing to be proud of."

Jackie Chan immediately launched into a scathing attack, crushing the rookies' achievements to prevent them from becoming arrogant and complacent. Only then did he get to the point, saying, "The second phase of training will test your skills, all-around skills."

This stage will be more difficult, and more people will be eliminated; you might be next.

To facilitate better training in the second phase and to improve your teamwork, you will now be divided into groups of eight.

This is a standard special operations formation, where members need to divide tasks and cooperate.

After you go down, you will hold your own meeting to elect the group leader, deputy group leader, and responsible persons for each group: demolition, fire support, communications, medical, assault, sniping, and observation.

Specialized personnel are the foundation of special operations. The purpose of establishing special operations is to conduct unconventional operations and accomplish special tasks that conventional troops cannot.

Therefore, in addition to learning conventional combat techniques, you must also learn specific skills for unconventional combat.

This includes, but is not limited to, full use of firearms, demolition, coded communication, battlefield first aid, interrogation and counter-interrogation, infiltration and counter-infiltration, etc.

Learning specialized skills is crucial; those who fail will be eliminated. Don't take any chances; my eyes are on you.

Jackie Chan pointed his index and middle fingers at his eyes, then at the sixteen rookies.

Finally, he announced: "Now, Gray Wolf will announce the group list. Group 1, move to tent number one; Group 2, move to tent number two."

Listen up, everyone. If anyone gets it wrong, I'll kick them right now.
