Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 57 All Hope Lies in Class Three! (Three chapters today, please support with monthly tickets and recommendation votes)

Xu Sanduo was extremely nervous at this moment, due to the excitement and nervousness of anticipation.

He has been dragging the company down for so long, and has not had any outstanding performance since joining the company. He is very good at abdominal pole twirling, but has never had the opportunity to show it.

This caused Xu Sanduo to feel a strong desire deep in his heart due to self-blame.

The desire to express oneself and gain recognition from others.

From a certain one-sided perspective.

Now, with a strong desire, Xu Sanduo has become like Cheng Cai, who is ambitious and eager to become a shining star.

It has garnered widespread attention.

The cultural assessment held by the regiment was exactly what Xu Sanduo excelled at, which meant it was exactly what Xu Sanduo was looking for.

Xu Sanduo couldn't apply his skills flexibly.

Xu Sanduo's mouth was crooked from smiling so much from rote memorization.

Knowing what he was best at, Xu Sanduo was well aware that this was his opportunity and eager to seize it.

It was this intense urgency that made Xu Sanduo so nervous.

The more you care, the more nervous you become!

The new and veteran soldiers in the first platoon were equally nervous, because this was a test administered by the regimental headquarters. If they didn't answer well, they would definitely get a scolding from Company Commander Gao Cheng when they got back.

Gao Cheng values ​​honor more than his own life.

A super memory is not something everyone can have, and the soldiers in the first squad don't expect to be outstanding; they are well aware of their own abilities in this area.

Being able to answer the leader's questions fluently is already a great blessing.

Once the squad leader returned to the line, the assessment began quickly.

The assessment method is random sampling, and the question-and-answer format is one question and one answer.

"The fifth one, you, Private, it'll be you."

The fifth recruit in the squad was called upon by the chief of staff to answer. He remained relatively calm and took three steps forward to step out of the line.

The chief of staff then asked some questions.

For example, what is the effective range of the Type 81 rocket launcher, what is its maximum range, what is its average speed during a rapid march, and which rocket launcher was the Type 69 40mm rocket launcher based on?

These are mostly basic questions for infantry.

The difficulty level is not very high, and there is no overly complicated data.

The chief of staff asked a total of 10 questions. The new recruit from the first squad had a bit of a struggle in answering them, having to think about them several times, but fortunately he got them all right.

Even though it was a question and answer session that required no physical exertion, the new recruits were covered in sweat after answering it.

visible.

The questions from the regimental commander put a lot of pressure on the soldiers.

While one group of new recruits was being assessed, the other groups below the stage were also busy, whispering and gossiping among themselves.

When you sit down to rest and wait, you don't have to be as formal as when you're standing; you can chat in the queue.

Cheng Cai, who was particularly ambitious and determined to make a name for himself in this segment, took out a book and had someone next to him imitate the assessment.

"What is the barrel length of an 81-barrel rifle?" the recruit on the left asked.

"440 millimeters." Cheng Cai answered without hesitation.

"What is the effective range and theoretical rate of fire of the light machine gun used by the 81st Platoon?" the private on the right asked.

"Effective range 600 meters, theoretical rate of fire 600 to 740 rounds per minute." Cheng Cai thought for a couple of seconds, then answered fluently.

"What is the oblique firing range of the Red Tassel missile?" the private continued to ask.

"Four thousand...4500 kilometers."

This armored infantry has little experience with live ammunition and has never fired a live shot. Even the Seventh Steel Company doesn't have any samples. Cheng Cai thought for a while before answering.

"Wow, you got them all right!"

The private's preconceived notions prevented him from noticing the problem, and he gave a thumbs-up in approval.

"The question is too easy, make it harder, make it harder," Cheng Cai urged smugly.

Just as Cheng Cai was proudly craning his neck, waiting for the privates and recruits to ask him even more difficult questions to warm up for the upcoming assessment.

A sound suddenly came from the side.

"Wait, Cheng Cai, what did you just say about the Red Tassel Missile?"

Cheng Cai recognized the voice immediately. Leaning forward, puzzled, between the two people in between, he asked, "I answered 4500 kilometers, is there a problem?"

"Is everything alright? Haha."

Jackie Chan laughed out loud, and reminded him, "Think about it carefully again. Just a heads up, the closest distance between our country and America is only 2658 kilometers."

This is a shoulder-fired, portable air defense missile, not a Dongfeng intercontinental ballistic missile. Are you sure it has a range of 4500 kilometers?

"what?"

Cheng Cai hesitated for a couple of seconds before suddenly realizing his mistake and quickly corrected himself with an embarrassed laugh, "Haha, well, cough cough, the correct answer should be 4500 meters, not kilometers. I got it mixed up, I used the wrong unit."

"Carelessness is a bad habit; don't make the same mistake again next time," Jackie Chan warned sternly.

"Okay, okay, brother, I'll definitely remember that."

This time, Cheng Cai was relieved to escape being slapped on the head for making a mistake and quickly nodded in apology.

"Class 3, it's almost our turn, get ready."

Shi Jin, who was sitting at the front of the line, turned around and reminded the people in the class to return to their places. Seeing that Cheng Cai had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Cheng Long didn't say anything more.

At this time, Class 2 had completed the random inspection, and their results were much worse than those of Class 1.

The second squad was also drawn from new recruits!

I don't know if this guy didn't memorize it properly, if he's just not cut out for this kind of thing, or if he was too nervous and his brain just went blank. He knew it, but he just couldn't remember it.

Of the 10 questions the chief of staff asked, he answered 6 correctly, albeit haltingly.

Nearly half of them got the answers wrong!

Gao Cheng, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, showed a noticeable change in expression. When he chatted with instructor Hong Xingguo, he no longer smiled.

But thinking that it would soon be Class 3's turn, Gao Cheng barely managed to suppress his soaring blood pressure.

Two men in the third platoon had memorized the entire book, a fact that was widely known not only among the new and veteran soldiers, but also among the officers of Gao Cheng's company.

He learned that among the people who memorized the entire book, one of them was Xu Sanduo, whom he disliked the most.

At the time, Gao Cheng was very surprised and found it incredible.

Upon hearing that the other person was Jackie Chan, Gao Cheng's attitude was completely different from before. He believed it without hesitation and praised him enthusiastically.

The highly educated intellectuals from the capital university are really capable; they can memorize an entire book with ease.

Now that the second class's assessment results have been disastrous, the new recruits who made mistakes will definitely need to be properly educated when they return, but the most urgent task now is to quickly make up for the shortcomings.

We can't let the leaders of the regiment think that there's a problem with the cultural education of the Seventh Steel Company.

Of the three new recruits in the third platoon, two have already memorized the entire book, so their chances of performing exceptionally well are very high.

As long as they don't get unlucky enough to draw Bai Tiejun, Class 3 can definitely make up for this mistake.

"Class 3, everyone, stand up."

Shi Jin stood up and gave the order. Jackie Chan, Xu Sanduo, and others immediately stood up. Xu Sanduo was the most excited, his face turning as red as an apple.

"Run! Walk!"

Shi Jin gave another command, and the third squad ran away, circled around outside, and arrived at the assessment site, stopping about five meters away from the leaders.
