Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

After tormenting them for half a day with those fragrant meat buns, the trainees' stomachs were growling like frogs, and their faces were starting to look unwell.

Hunger has turned into pain!

Jackie Chan enjoys watching the trainees slowly and deliberately finish their meat buns before leisurely walking to the front of the line.

"The appetizers are over, it's time for the main event."

Jackie Chan opened the show with a double entendre, announcing, "Welcome to Hell Week! I hope you dozens of pumpkins are fully prepared."

Because the next week will be something you'll never forget, a time when you'll experience what it means to wish you were dead.

Jackie Chan's opening remarks were so powerful, every word exuding pressure, that the trainees couldn't help but feel a chill and realize that something was very wrong.

If they could run, they definitely would have.

It's a pity I can't run!

Jackie Chan's opening remarks initially stunned the trainees. He deliberately waited a few seconds to allow them time to process the information before continuing, "You may not understand what a 'Devil's Hell Week' is."

I'm going to give you a free science lesson now, with good news and bad news.

The good news is that there is no bottom-ranking elimination system here. I will not eliminate any trainees, provided that your body can still hold on.

The bad news is worse. To put it simply, Hell Week will make you wish you were dead.

Could you elaborate?

That means rigorous training, using all sorts of methods to train you until you break down and can't take it anymore, without any limits.

If I had to draw a line, I could say this: the line is only half a step away from death.

The word "death" is often associated with misfortune and is a word that no one wants to hear. When they heard that the bottom line of training was that death was just a step away, the trainees all looked grim.

Even if Jackie Chan was deliberately trying to scare them, the trainees still felt a tightness in their chests.

"Are you scared?"

Seeing the fear on the trainees' faces, Jackie Chan waved his hand and pointed to the front of the square, saying, "The base is very thoughtful; they've specially set up a farewell platform for you there."

If anyone can't take the training and feels they can't go on, that's the place to find relief.

All you need to do is take off your helmet and number plate, put them on the platform, and shout "I give up!" and you can leave.

The base will send a vehicle to free you so you can return to your old unit.

This place only welcomes true men, tough guys who can really endure hardship and pain. Softies don't deserve to stay; go back to your cozy nests.

Jackie Chan's words were full of freedom; he would never restrict you in any way, and you could leave anytime you wanted if you didn't want to train anymore.

But in reality, each word carries an inescapable bond.

Men are all competitive.

This is especially true for men in the military.

Leaving means you're a useless coward; staying means you're a real man.

Nobody wants to be a coward, so they have to stay.

Therefore, when Jackie Chan finished explaining the basic rules and loudly asked if anyone wanted to quit, not a single student deserted.

The trainees who have made it this far are all elites who have participated in two rounds of preliminary selection, so they have a solid foundation.

No matter how terrifying hell is, I'll still try to get through it first.

Since no trainees were voluntarily withdrawing, Jackie Chan didn't linger any longer and waved his hand, saying, "Chutou, it's your turn now. Take them out and have some fun."

"yes!!"

Wu Zhe couldn't wait any longer and immediately began to organize.

The Hell Week training program doesn't have a fixed curriculum; it's more of a core training model around which everything is organized.

As long as the trainees' potential can be unleashed, all training methods can be adopted.

of course.

Human potential lies hidden deep within the body, and the best training method is still physical fitness. Only by pushing physical limits can the energy within the body be unleashed.

Having run enough since yesterday, Wu Zhe decided to start by trying something new.

Low-crawl cross-country!

The trainees were already very familiar with the terms "low crawl" and "cross-country running" when they were in the grassroots units, and they knew very well what these two training exercises were.

But when you put these two items together as one, they don't quite understand.

What kind of bizarre subject is this??

However, they didn't understand for long, because when Wu Zhe finished announcing the training method, the trainees not only understood it, but they also cursed inwardly.

In everyday understanding, low crawling training is mainly used for short-distance crossings of fire.

They usually climb for a few dozen meters.

But now, Wu Zhe has increased the distance required for this so-called low crawl cross-country running by dozens of times, requiring trainees to crawl for three thousand meters.

Three thousand meters.

That's a full three thousand meters.

Walking 3,000 meters is not unusual, it can be seen everywhere, but who the hell climbs 3,000 meters?

Humans aren't reptiles.

Crawling is more physically demanding than walking. Even crawling low over a rope net, or even just on a lawn, for a few dozen meters is exhausting.

But now Wu Zhe has led the trainees to a location on a hardened dirt road.

If we had to climb those 3,000 meters...

The trainees started to ache all over before they even began climbing.

Even Bai Long, a special forces veteran who enlisted twice, always leads the way in all training sessions. No matter how tough or tiring it is, he has never frowned.

Faced with this low-profile crawling off-road challenge, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Captain Qin Feng is quite knowledgeable; he has participated in or organized dozens of training sessions of all kinds and has seen all sorts of training exercises.

Such a strange combination of training courses was something he had never heard of before.

"These two subjects can be combined? I never thought of that before. Team Leader Cheng, you guys are really playing it on a higher level than us, haha." Qin Feng laughed.

"This is just the beginning."

Jackie Chan smiled, his achievements and fame hidden deep within his lips.

No matter how unwilling or resistant the trainees were to this strange training, the instructors had already given the order, and they had no choice but to accept it.

Then, a spectacular crawling began on the paved dirt road.

The key to low crawling is to keep your abdomen on the ground and move your body forward on the ground by alternating movements of your feet and hands.

More than forty people crawled forward on the ground together, covering almost the entire road.

What a magnificent scene!

The visual impact is off the charts.

After all, they are all elite talents selected from thousands, and their physical qualities are all very good.

The first few dozen meters were effortless, and I climbed each one very quickly. Even if I moved less than half a meter at a time, my climbing speed was still more than one meter per second.

The rustling sound of clothes rubbing against the ground was continuous and exceptionally loud.

This fully demonstrates the power of numbers.

Along with this, a large amount of dust was generated, and as dozens of people crawled forward and blew air, a thick layer of dust was raised.

The trainees already expend a lot of energy climbing up, and they need to breathe in a lot of oxygen to supply their bodies.

As a result, the increased amount of dust in the air made it very difficult for them to breathe, leading to insufficient breathing and a rapid decline in their physical strength.

After crawling for two hundred meters...

The trainees repeated the movements more than 500 times, and the palms, arms, knees, and other areas where they exerted force began to turn red due to excessive friction.

The sweat on their faces didn't have time to dry before it was covered in dust, turning everyone into a mess.

The rapid depletion of physical strength has a very direct impact.

The trainees' crawling speed began to decrease, and they could no longer move as energetically as before, covering more than a meter per second. Their movements began to become more rhythmic.

Moving forward step by step is already a way to conserve energy.

Even the White Dragon, with the strongest physique, ate relatively less dust and breathed more easily because it was at the front and ahead of the others.

After climbing several hundred meters, I was starting to feel the strain.

I had to change my focus from pursuing speed to improving endurance, adjusting my pace to climb for longer periods.

The trainees were all making adjustments in their own way to keep going, racking their brains and using all sorts of methods.

Using techniques to compensate can indeed be effective.

Ultimately, it can only alleviate the situation; it cannot change what is destined to happen.

When the crawling distance finally broke through a kilometer.

The white dragon, who was climbing at the very front, and student number 35, who was climbing at the very back, were more than 200 meters apart, forming a long dragon on the road.

The cumulative damage from prolonged, long-distance, repetitive movements begins to manifest.

Even though every trainee was wearing tactical gloves and clothes, which provided some protection, the ground was just too rough and the impact of the various small stones was too great.

The trainees' gloves were worn through, and the flesh of their palms was beginning to directly contact the ground.

The arm that was exerting force was only covered by a training uniform, which was far less protective than a tactical glove. It was also not as close to the body as a tactical glove, so it wouldn't rub against the skin while moving. At this point, the skin was already chafed.

Those students who weren't careful with their movements and were unlucky enough to run into sharp stones.

Blood was already visible on my arm, and fresh blood was starting to seep out.

The same applies to the inside of the knees.

The power mainly comes from the inside of the knee and the inside of the foot. The shoes on the feet provide protection and make them more durable, which is why they can still hold up at this distance.

However, the inner side of the knee is the main point of force application, where the pressure and friction are greater, making injuries more severe.

Almost every student's inner knee was covered in abrasions, with bleeding being a common occurrence.

The pain in their hands and feet restricts the trainees' movements, making it more tiring for them to climb up.

This requires more physical exertion.

Climbing a little over a thousand meters is already the limit; many trainees can't climb that far in a whole year, and their physical strength is already severely depleted.

The physical pain further depleted their energy, causing them to climb even slower.

Not to mention how much pain the players are in right now.

Even Lu Tu and Cao Ben, who were watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel tired and in pain for the players who had been crawling on the ground for so long.

However, they are all people who have undergone extreme training, and their positions and identities are also different.

Therefore, no matter how much they frowned at it, no one stood up to speak.

The only female officer inside remained calm; after all, she was a woman and not so ruthless. After watching for so long, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He couldn't help but say to Qin Feng, "Captain, this kind of training will cause problems. What if we end up ruining all their legs before we even select the right people? We won't be able to explain that to the troops below."

"Special operations are unconventional operations. I think this kind of training is very meaningful. You can't predict whether you will need to crawl several kilometers to evade the enemy and infiltrate behind enemy lines in the future battlefield."

Qin Feng analyzed from a practical perspective and concluded that low-crawl cross-country has certain practical significance.

"Indeed, with the development of high technology, once war breaks out, the sky will be full of drones, making concealment more difficult. Low-profile crawling across terrain may be necessary, but can we be more scientific?"

Calmly agreed with Qin Feng's view and suggested, "For example, we could give them knee pads, which would achieve the same training purpose while protecting their bodies."

"You can wear knee pads during training, but what if you don't have them on the battlefield?"

Qin Feng refuted Leng Jing's suggestion and rebuked him, saying, "If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, you don't deserve to join the Cheetah Commando."

From the current perspective...

Qin Feng's strong support for Jackie Chan's training is indeed good news for Jackie Chan.

If you encounter an officer who claims to be in charge of the entire process but always interferes in the actual operation, using various excuses to disrupt the training, then you're in trouble.

Even now, Jackie Chan's position as chief instructor remains a significant challenge.

Seeing Qin Feng's resolute attitude, even though he was worried about the students, especially Lone Wolf, he could only give up for the time being.

Suppressing his inner worry, he frowned and continued watching.

In the blink of an eye.

Half an hour passed.

What should have been a three-kilometer run that would have taken these elites only eight or nine minutes was now barely halfway done.

Even the white dragon, who was still far ahead, had just barely crossed the 2,000-meter mark.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one kilometer left.

Because of the enormous amount of physical exertion, coupled with the increasing burden on his body, the injuries to his arms and legs became more and more severe.

The difficulty of climbing the remaining 1,000 meters is probably greater than the previous 2,000 meters combined.

It gets harder and harder as you go on!

And climbing those two thousand meters would really leave you exhausted.

The trainees' arms, legs, abdomens, and other areas where they were pressing their weight onto the ground were all worn through, and the surrounding area was stained red with blood.

Even the metal outer belt has been worn away.

The areas where I exerted force were all chafed and bleeding, which not only consumed more energy, but also caused excruciating pain with every movement.

If you accidentally press your wound against a small stone, the pain is so intense it's like you're going to heaven.

Even cold sweat can make you break out in a cold sweat.

From this moment on...

Every trainee present deeply understood what Jackie Chan said at the beginning of the training: "The line between life and death is only half a step away."

The trainees feel like they are constantly teetering on the edge of death.

Wanting to die but unable to, wanting to live is excruciating. (End of Chapter)
