Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 505 What is a comrade-in-arms?

Mud fighting doesn't have any special meaning; its main purpose is to test extreme physical fitness, and incidentally, it's a way to assess the trainees' fighting abilities.

Therefore, Jackie Chan did not add any extra ingredients to this training.

The only unique aspect is that, through observation, trainees who usually have conflicts and dislike each other are deliberately grouped into a fighting group.

The goal is to escalate the conflict to make the trainees more engaged in the fight.

An hour passed quickly.

Even a few minutes of fighting can exhaust a person, and even professional fighters can't last more than a few minutes, which is why boxing matches have a round system.

The trainees practiced for an hour straight, so you can imagine how tired they must have been.

He could barely stand.

He was bent over, supporting himself with his legs, and was panting heavily.

Seeing that the trainees had done a good job in their training, Jackie Chan prepared to take them to the next training venue to begin a new training program.

The time spent walking was essentially a rest period for the trainees.

Just as Jackie Chan was about to have Wu Zhe lead the team and reorganize the formation to take them to the next training ground, an accident occurred unexpectedly.

"Report, I want to take on another challenge."

Bai Long suddenly appeared and roared, his eyes fixed on Cao Ben, who was controlling the field.

Connecting the conflict between the two, everyone understands.

Clearly, Bai Long wanted to take this opportunity to give his enemy Cao Ben a good beating and vent his anger through his fists.

Jackie Chan still doesn't know what kind of conflict or grudge exists between Bai Long and Cao Ben.

But he didn't care.

Cao Ben is an elite member of the Cheetah Commando Team, and Bai Long was also once an ace of the Cheetah Commando Team. There is a clear old conflict between the two, and once they fight, they will definitely go all out to deal damage.

Jackie Chan could take this opportunity to assess the true combat skills of the Cheetah Commando members, which would be very helpful in analyzing the Cheetah's combat capabilities.

Therefore, even if Jackie Chan guessed the intention in advance, he did not have his own plans.

I've chosen to go with the flow, ready to get my hands on some juicy gossip.

"Number 30, you're just a trainee, you're not qualified to challenge anyone. But you're lucky, I'm in a good mood right now, I can give you a chance. Tell me, who do you want to challenge?" Jackie Chan said.

"I'm going to fight him before the next subject begins, right here!" Bai Long roared, pointing at Cao Ben.

What's going on??

The students, who were exhausted after an hour of fighting, were stunned when they heard that Bai Long wanted to challenge the teaching assistant. They stared in disbelief.

"Trainees have no right to make demands of instructors," Cao Ben refused, frowning.

"This isn't a request, it's a challenge. As an instructor, are you afraid of the trainees' challenge? If you refuse, then say you're scared in front of everyone here." Bai Long even resorted to reverse psychology.

"What is Bai Long trying to do?"

Those calmly witnessing this scene in the command center are equally wide-eyed in disbelief.

"This is a training ground, this is too chaotic. Bai Long still can't get rid of his old habits." Qin Feng frowned, somewhat helplessly.

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen them spar, and I'd really like to see it again," Lu Tu said with a smile.

"We still need to find a way to resolve the conflict between the two of them. After all, they are comrades-in-arms, brothers who have faced life and death on the battlefield. There is no grudge that cannot be resolved," Qin Feng said with a sigh.

"That's for sure, but right now, it seems like they'll have to fight each other..."

Lu Tu shook his head halfway through his sentence before continuing, "I just don't know if the head instructor will agree to Bai Long's request."

While Lu Tu was still speculating, Jackie Chan on the other side of the screen had already made a decision.

"Number 30 is the best performing student among all the contestants so far. Cao Ben, since he has made a request, you should give a demonstration and fight him. Let the other contestants learn what fighting is all about."

Jackie Chan's words were very clear, and Cao Ben had no way to refuse, no matter how unwilling he was.

All he could do was shout, "Fine, since you want to fight, then let's have a match!"

After saying that, Cao Ben took off his coat, wearing only his physical training t-shirt underneath, and strode over to Bai Long with an extremely serious and tense face.

Seeing Bai Long, who had been fighting for an hour and whose physical strength far surpassed that of the other trainees, still able to stand upright with his chest heaving violently, Cao Ben, despite being full of energy, still looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Beep~~"

"Demonstration training, begin."

Wu Zhe was also looking forward to this fight, and he blew his whistle to give the order.

Bai Long clearly harbored a long-standing grudge against Cao Ben. Upon hearing the whistle, he didn't pause for even a fraction of a second before immediately charging forward to launch an attack.

Cao Ben was no less impressive, charging towards the approaching white dragon as well.

Boom~

The two collided in the middle, and a fight immediately broke out.

Compared to the fights between other students, the techniques used were relatively few, more like the wild punches of ordinary people on the street.

They were either hugging and cuddling, or throwing punches and rolling around on the ground.

Bai Long and Cao Ben's fighting style is more professional. They use fighting techniques in almost every move, including not only boxing but also various grappling techniques.

Because of their old grudges, they didn't hold back at all when they started fighting.

Almost every move he makes is with his full strength.

The blows landed with loud thuds, and you could tell from the sound that the force was very strong. The students next to them felt sorry for the two of them.

At the same time, their exciting fight made them realize what fighting techniques are.

Seeing those exquisite moves, the students, who were originally just watching as spectators, were unconsciously drawn in and became engrossed in the performance.

"As expected of the armed police, they use guns less and rely more on hand-to-hand combat. In terms of grappling and fighting, they are indeed better than the army, and their training is more comprehensive. There is a certain gap between them and the ordinary special forces members of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade."

Jackie Chan is an unbeatable fighter in close combat. He understands fighting better and can analyze a lot of things just by watching the fight between the two of them.

Once Jackie Chan had understood the situation, he asked Wu Zhe to end the little incident.

After all, it's just something to watch.

There's no need for it to really end in a fight to the death.

"Alright, that's enough looking around. You've all rested enough. Let's move on to the next project and take everyone to the base."

After giving his instructions, Jackie Chan got into his car and left.

A few minutes later.

The trainees ran back, chanting slogans, and arrived at the last training ground of the afternoon to begin a training session with special significance.

Wu Zhe led the team to the assembly area and began announcing the training program.

The training course has a very ordinary name: "Climbing Over the Lazy Wall".

The so-called "lazy man's strength" is an inverted "V" shape, a five-meter-high wooden frame placed on the ground, with round logs as thick as a thigh on both sides and a half-meter gap in the middle.

The normal way to climb over the lazy wall is to step on the logs that go from low to high, climb all the way to the top of the shelf, and then run down from the other side.

The trainees also thought so, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I've encountered some easier training.

As a result, Wu Zhe asked Xu Sanduo to go up and demonstrate once. All the trainees present almost collapsed on the spot. They were already weak in the knees before they even started climbing.

Because the climbing method demonstrated by Xu Sanduo was not to directly cross over from above.

Instead, it took an "S"-shaped detour.

And it doesn't meander above the shelf.

Surprisingly, it weaves and twists between each of the horizontal logs.

To put it simply, it's like knitting a sweater. Trainees need to crawl between the first and second logs, then climb up between the second and third logs, and then go down between the third and fourth logs.

It kept climbing up and down, weaving between each log.

Compared to running across from above, the difficulty increases by more than tenfold.

You have to understand that the gaps between the logs are too short, and the human body is not flexible enough to stand upright, so you can't drape the logs over your shoulders like a sweater.

So to climb up smoothly, you have to lie horizontally on the log and hug it while turning 180 degrees.

Only by turning around and around like this can you reach the top.

The climb was already quite difficult, and everyone knew that to go from top to bottom and then down, the physical exertion required to prevent falling was terrifying.

But after Xu Sanduo finished his demonstration, Jackie Chan asked Cheng Cai to do something else.

That is to pour water mixed with dish soap onto each log, wetting all the logs and making them slippery to reduce friction.

"How do I climb this?"

Seeing that Jackie Chan was pulling this stunt again, the trainees were completely devastated.

They all looked worried and distressed!

They all realized that in this situation, it was impossible for one person to climb up alone, because even if you could hold on, it was too slippery to turn 180 degrees, and if you couldn't turn around, you couldn't change the logs on top.

It became an infinite loop.

It was simply an impossible training exercise.

Just when the trainees thought it was a dead end, Wu Zhe immediately explained how to play the subject and how to pass the training smoothly.

The method is very simple—

Cooperation and assistance!

Just like the next mud pit fight, the trainees will be divided into pairs.

The difference is that the previous grouping involved pairing two people who had a grudge against each other, which would stimulate them to fight more fiercely and increase the training effect.

Now that we've reached the lazy ladder, it's the other way around.

Trainees must not be hostile to each other; they need to work together seamlessly and help each other. Only through seamless cooperation can they pass the training.

If the two sides don't cooperate well enough, it's absolutely impossible to climb up.

The students were dumbfounded!

Just moments ago, they were fighting to the death, but now the situation has drastically changed, from enemies to family members. It's hard to accept all of that at once.

but.

Jackie Chan doesn't care.

Whether you can accept it or not is a question between the two of you. He is only responsible for giving instructions, and those who fail to complete them will be punished.

The punishment this time was also very direct: they would be surprised at dinner.

The stinky swill served at noon had already shown all the trainees Jackie Chan's cunning, so they dared not accept any more punishment from him.

Whether they liked it or not, they started thinking about how to cooperate with their teammates.

Wu Zhe first called out a group to go on stage, sending Bai Long and Xiao Yunjie to lead the charge.

Bai Long is the best among the trainees, while Xiao Yunjie is arguably the worst. A combination of a top-notch horse and a bottom-notch horse can balance the strength of each group.

The other 44 trainees who didn't get to go on stage felt a little disappointed knowing they weren't the first to go.

He thought he could sit on the sidelines and rest, and that by the time it was his turn to play, his physical condition would be fully recovered, making it easier to train.

Unfortunately, they were overthinking it!

Jackie Chan's hellish week training program is designed to be completely intensive, leaving no room for the trainees to relax.

The trainees who were going up struggled on the lazy bench, and the trainees waiting below also had to get moving.

Group plank exercise!

Anyone whose movements are not up to standard will be kicked.

Bai Long and Xiao Yunjie went up to climb the ladder. Bai Long was the first to climb. He was very confident in his own strength, but he frowned after climbing up.

Because he grabbed the second log from below and found that he couldn't turn around to get up.

It's so slippery!

If you can't get from under the log to the top, you can't grab the third log. You have no leverage point and will just get stuck there, unable to move.

Bai Long was unable to climb up, and Xiao Yunjie behind him was also unable to do so.

This is a huge problem!

Fortunately, although Xiao Yunjie had many tricks up his sleeve, he clearly remembered the words that Wu Zhe had specifically mentioned before the training began.

Wu Zhe said that the core of this training was to let everyone know what comrades-in-arms are and what mutual help and support mean.

Realizing that this training required helping others and also needed others to help him, Xiao Yunjie saw that Bai Long couldn't climb up no matter what he did, and seemed to know what to do.

Xiao Yunjie lay on the first log and reached out to push Bai Long's back.

Since Bailong can't go up by himself, then push him up.

That is absolutely correct!

However, Bai Long weighed over 130 pounds. He could push him with his hands, but he lacked the strength to turn his body up.

Xiao Yunjie's eyes lit up, and he immediately came up with a solution, choosing to use both his hands and feet.

He tucked his feet to his stomach and pushed upwards, using enough strength in his legs to lift the white dragon, smoothly turning him half a circle onto the second log.

Having successfully ascended with help, Bai Long also realized how to play the program.

If you receive help, you should help others.

So when Bai Long climbed up to the second log and Xiao Yunjie hugged it, he reached down, grabbed Xiao Yunjie's clothes, and pulled him up.

"They truly are the elite, one in a thousand; each one of them is incredibly intelligent."

Jackie Chan was very satisfied with how quickly the first group of trainees found a solution, and he couldn't help but praise them in his heart.

When the other trainees saw the two's actions, they suddenly realized that it could be done this way, and their psychological pressure dropped by more than half.

Having completed their first collaboration, Bai Long and his companion were now qualified to climb up.

Whether or not they will be able to climb up is still uncertain.

Because cooperation between two people is essential, and because the logs are too slippery and have very little friction, it takes a great deal of strength to hold them with one's feet and hands.

It is five meters from top to bottom, and it takes ten repetitions to go back and forth.

Physical fitness is the biggest hurdle to overcome in order to complete the entire training program.
