Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Even though Cheng Cai's marksmanship was comparable to that of many veterans, they still believed that he had gained advantages through flattery and sycophancy, which caused both veterans and new recruits to have a lot of opinions about him.

Although Cheng Cai categorizes people into different classes, he is always very polite to everyone.

As the saying goes, "You can't hit a smiling face."

Therefore, although everyone disliked Cheng Cai, the conflict was not brought to the surface, and no one confronted him directly.

However, Cheng Cai still didn't care.

Driven by a strong competitive spirit with clear goals, Cheng-Tsai now only cares about the final result and doesn't care whether the process is "formal".

Because he didn't genuinely try to make friends, Cheng Cai didn't make any friends in the Steel Seventh Company.

Having grown up together in the same village, Xu Sanduo, who was as simple-minded as a fool and had little temper, became the only person he could share his life with.

Having become the sniper he had dreamed of since childhood, Cheng Cai would brag to Xu Sanduo every day about how awesome his Type 85 sniper rifle was and how great his life was.

of course.

He would occasionally go to his older brother Jackie Chan to brag about how much more fun the sniper rifle was than the squad automatic weapon.

Every time Jackie Chan saw Cheng Cai's smug face, he wanted to tell him that it was impossible to make a name for himself in the army by flattering others.

But you can imagine that people from Rongshu Village are all stubborn.

Wu Liuyi is stubborn because he can't bend his mind; Xu Sanduo is stubborn because of his inflexible and unyielding nature; and Cheng Cai is stubborn because he always tries to take shortcuts with his cleverness.

Different appearances, but the same roots.

The feng shui of that rugged mountain area is what it is, and the people who come out of there all have a stubborn streak.

Jackie Chan ultimately gave up, just like before, choosing to let Cheng Cai awaken through self-growth and understand what a truly good soldier is.

New recruits have a lot of fun in the Steel Seventh Company.

There's Cheng Long, the good soldier everyone loves; Cheng Cai, the "elite soldier" everyone dislikes; and Xu Sanduo, the dull soldier everyone finds troublesome.

The remaining recruits were all in the middle range, neither outstanding nor lagging behind, and didn't have much of a presence.

The training content has also begun to move from simple subjects to more technically challenging subjects that require greater coordination and are unique to armored infantry regiments.

The first combined arms training exercise began as all the members of the 7th Company were loaded onto trucks.

The new recruits have been in the Steel Seventh Company for so long that they have seen, touched, and ridden in the Type 89 and Type 86 armored infantry fighting vehicles many times.

Aside from the fact that a big guy like Jackie Chan feels cramped inside, everyone who rides in an armored infantry fighting vehicle has a headache.

You need to hunch over, lower your head, and curl up as much as possible.

Otherwise, you'll hit your head.

It wasn't until he later became the main gunner of the third squad, responsible for the 12.7mm heavy machine gun in the middle of the tank, that this awkward problem was solved.

The heavy machine gun was mounted on top of the tank, and Jackie Chan could stand comfortably inside the gun turret.

During team-based combat training, Jackie Chan usually doesn't need to get out of the vehicle. He can just sit in the vehicle, hold the heavy machine gun, and fire at the target.

Compared to others who were covered in dirt and grime on the ground, Jackie Chan's life couldn't be more comfortable.

Nowadays, most new recruits are used to riding in armored vehicles to a designated location, disembarking, and then completing various squad tactical training courses.

Only Xu Sanduo had a minor ailment, which occasionally caused Gao Cheng's blood pressure to spike.

Fortunately, they were all minor issues and did not affect training.

Company Commander Gao Cheng was lucky he hadn't died of anger yet!

Infantry-tank combined arms operations differ from conventional squad-level offensives. Their core principle is to rely on tanks as cover while also protecting them from close-range explosions.

The two complement each other and work together seamlessly to complete a series of offensive and defensive operations.

Tacit understanding cannot be learned.

The only way to improve is through training.

There is quite a distance between the company barracks and the tank training ground.

It takes about half an hour to drive there.

The group of veterans sitting in the tarpaulin truck had already learned about and completed the Butan joint training, and all chose to hug the August 1st bar and close their eyes to rest.

The new recruits are about to have their first close encounter with tanks, those behemoths they've only ever seen on TV before, and the last time they've had a brief encounter was at a train station. Everyone is inevitably excited.

Except for Jackie Chan, who, despite bearing the rank of private, is more of a veteran than any other veteran, calmly resting with his rifle like a squad leader.

The other recruits couldn't sleep at all on the bus; their excited hearts made it impossible for them to calm down and close their eyes to rest.

Among them, Cheng Cai is the best!

Because he had always tried to please the squad leaders and officers of each platoon and company, he had become familiar with them.

The more familiar people are with each other, the closer their relationship in life, the less respect they will have.

To put it simply...

They're just getting bolder and bolder.

While the other new recruits only dared to speak in hushed tones, Cheng Cai dared to ignore the other platoon leaders and veterans in the same carriage and brazenly took out his cigarette case.

I got up and peeked into the back of the car, and saw Jackie Chan with his face covered by a hat, sleeping against the side of the car.

He breathed a sigh of relief and lit one for himself.

He skillfully put it in his mouth, took a puff, and slowly exhaled it after it passed through his lungs.

Compared to when he was a recruit and still felt choked by cigarettes, Cheng Cai now looks like a seasoned smoker.

He handed over the cigarette pack while smoking and said to Xu Sanduo, who was sitting next to him, "Sanduo, are you nervous right now? Here, have one, and you won't be nervous anymore."

Our Seventh Company is different from others. I have a good relationship with several platoon leaders and have heard a lot of things that others don't know. I'll tell you about them one by one later.

"No, I don't smoke, it's too pungent."

Xu Sanduo remained steadfast, resisting Cheng Cai's temptation, and casually reminded him, "Brother Cheng Cai, you shouldn't smoke either, what if the boss finds out..."

Before Xu Sanduo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a hand reaching out from the side.

"Chengcai, come on, give me one."

When new recruit Bai Tiejun saw Cheng Cai smoking, his own nicotine craving was triggered. He grinned slyly and extended his index and middle fingers.

Bai Tiejun was also a bit of an oddball among the new recruits. He was the kind of person with a skin thicker than a pig's belly, and he was also the only one in the whole company who thought Cheng Cai was stingy, but always took the initiative to ask for cigarettes.

Cheng Cai is not a stingy person; he just divides people into different levels and determines which level is only entitled to smoke which type of cigarette.

He never refuses anyone who asks him for a cigarette.

Anyway, with his older brother Cheng Long's help, Cheng Guoqiang is the best money-maker in the whole village. I heard that he and Xu Baishun are currently thinking about mining in the rocky mountain behind the village. If it goes well, they can make a lot of money.

Now there's no need for the two brothers' support at all; Chengcai's allowance can be spent entirely.
