Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 100 Heading to the East China Sea
Although everyone pricked up their ears to gossip, Chen Jiang only said a few words lightly and omitted the exciting parts.

This made everyone feel unsatisfied. Only Wu Zhe and others knew how thrilling it was for Chen Jiang to catch a wild boar for everyone to eat.

So the meat that was shared among themselves was not to be wasted at all.

Who knows that every piece of meat in your hand is hard-earned.

After everyone finally finished eating the whole wild boar and burped, Yuan Lang gathered everyone together and asked a question.

"I know you've all been asking privately, why do we call ourselves Old A, or rather, why are we called the A-Team? What does that even mean?"

"Report!" Wu Zhe wanted to speak.

After getting Yuan Lang's approval, he slowly replied,
"Qi Huan once said, ABCDEFG, A is the boss. Does that mean that A is the strongest?"

Yuan Lang shook his head.

"On the battlefield, there's no such thing as the boss or the last one. It all comes down to who strikes first! The one who survives is the boss. Just like the unfortunate wild boar we just devoured, it might have been the boss in this forest, but what about now?"

He paused, walked up to Chen Jiang and asked, "Chen Jiang, do you play cards?"

Chen Jiang shook his head and said, "Report, I don't like gambling."

Yuan Lang's face turned cold, and he looked at Xu Sanduo again.

Xu Sanduo shook his head. "Report, I don't know how to do it either. It's meaningless."

Yuan Lang shook his head and looked at Wu Liuyi and Wu Zhe. Wu Liuyi said that he only knew how to play bridge, and Wu Zhe simply said that he would be better off reading more books with that energy.

Yuan Lang was so angry that his teeth started itching.
"Boring! Playing cards is good, it's good for your brain!" He tried to correct her. "Gambling is bad, but why not just play cards instead of gambling? You guys are so rigid!"

"Let me tell you, we usually love playing the poker game of catching the ace. At the end of the game, that hidden ace is often the winning trump card! How exciting and enjoyable is that?"

"The nature of our team is to be that old ace that wins by surprise. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" everyone answered in unison.

Yuan Lang's expression gradually softened. "From now on, we will stay together forever. Staying together forever is a huge test. There is no perfect merit, no overnight success, only constant training and mission execution. But I can assure you that every day of our lives will be wonderful and meaningful!"

Chen Jiang understood that Yuan Lang's words meant that he truly treated everyone as his own. Since they were his own people, they would call each other by nicknames from now on.

This also makes it easier to avoid revealing your real name when going out on a mission.

Xu Sanduo's nickname is "End", Wu Zhe's nickname is "Hoe", which is somewhat similar to Qi Huan's "Cleaner".

Wu Liuyi is called "Iron Man", while Chen Jiang's nickname is the most awesome, which was given to him by Yuan Lang himself, called "Truth".

Chen Jiang didn't reject this, it was just a nickname after all.

Of course, he didn't expect that these two simple words would bring him such a great reputation in the future. This is a story for later and we won't talk about it for now.

After returning to the base, all training returned to normal levels, as if the experience of "seeing blood" this time had never existed at all.

Only Chen Jiang knew that Xu Sanduo's inner demons had not been completely resolved.

But Yuan Lang didn't have time to worry about this anymore, because the next training schedule of Squadron A was already full. According to the arrangement, they needed to set off immediately and go to a naval base in the East China Sea for sea training.

Then comes jungle survival and finally airborne training.

With this complete training model, all members of Squadron A will become all-round amphibious fighters, and will be better able to adapt to the complex and changing battlefield environment in the future.

Therefore, the entire brigade cannot stop advancing for a certain soldier. You have to adapt and adjust yourself, otherwise you will be eliminated.

Since the training base of Squadron A is located deep inland, they need to take a medium-sized transport aircraft to get there.

For veterans like Qi Huan, these were all commonplace.

But for newcomers like Wu Liuyi, and the group of people who went to watch the execution not long ago (they were specially recruited mid-term, so they had never seen blood, nor participated in this kind of systematic special training on land, sea, and air), it was the first time for them to see a military transport aircraft like the Y-8.

Although this four-engine medium-sized tactical transport aircraft may have been slightly behind the international stage at that time, it was still the main transport force of our army.

With the huge roar of the engine and the continuous increase in the speed of the propeller blades, the Yun-8 transport plane slowly drove into the runway of the military airport.

After the tower issued the order to take off, the four engines were fully powered and began to push the fuselage forward and accelerate. As the acceleration continued, the aircraft finally gained enough lift, and the nose gradually lifted off the ground and soared into the sky.

Chen Jiang gazed out the window at the shrinking scenery below him, feeling a wave of emotion. While the current air force wasn't strong enough, and its equipment seemed somewhat outdated and outdated, in the near future, all of this would fundamentally change. Although the Y-8 was a propeller plane, it flew fairly smoothly, albeit a bit noisy.

The members of Squadron A in the cabin sat quietly in their seats, occasionally looking outside through the windows.

More than an hour later, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of a military airport in the East China Sea. When Chen Jiang and others stepped out of the cabin door one after another, a naval officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel had been waiting under the plane for a long time.

"Captain Yuan, long time no see!"

As soon as the lieutenant colonel saw Yuan Lang, he greeted him warmly.

It was obvious that the two of them were old acquaintances.

"Captain Xiong, I missed you so much since we last met last year!" Yuan Lang stepped forward and shook hands tightly.

After Qi Huan's introduction, everyone learned that Captain Xiong's full name was Xiong Xianghui and he was the deputy captain of the "Sea Shark" special forces of the East China Sea Fleet. He was the one who was responsible for the contact when they came last year.

Not only is he of the same age as Yuan Lang, but he also attended the same military academy and is now in the same grade.

Since everyone is familiar with the place, the reception is naturally easy to handle.

Chen Jiang and others first checked into the base's special training dormitory. After putting down their luggage and taking a short rest, there was an opening ceremony before they went to have dinner.

I have to say that the conditions in coastal areas are far better than those in the inland areas. Each dormitory is equipped with an independent bathroom and water heater, which is quite humane.

Chen Jiang still lived in the same dormitory with Cheng Haibo, and most of the others also lived with their old roommates.
After a simple packing, we lined up downstairs and were taken to the conference center by the liaison officer at the base.

This was a medium-sized tiered classroom. All team members took their seats according to the name tags on the table. The leader of the base was a colonel who came specially to give a speech. Basically, on behalf of the base, he welcomed the elites of Team A to come here for training.

I hope everyone can learn something here.

As the leading officer, Yuan Lang spoke very modestly at the meeting, conveyed the railway captain's gratitude, and finally put forward three requirements to all team members:

The rules and regulations of the base must be strictly observed.

We must especially cherish the precious learning and training opportunities.
The good military image of Battalion A must be displayed.

The opening ceremony was very simple, but when it came to the meal, everyone was shocked by the food standards at the base.

Not only was it all buffet style, but there was also seafood that they had rarely eaten before.
Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi had never been to the seaside, so of course they had never eaten such fresh seafood. These foods were so colorful, fragrant and delicious that they made their mouths water.

Although Wu Zhe is also a naval officer and is accustomed to the navy's food standards, he is affiliated with the South China Sea Fleet, and the conditions here are better, so he is also amazed at the food standards of the base.

"Eat slowly. You have to train here for two months. Are you afraid that you won't have enough to eat?" Qi Huang was quite disdainful of the way these newcomers ate. In fact, he was even worse than them when he first came here.

After all, where in the mainland can you find so much seafood?

"Chen Jiang, is this all you take?" Wu Zhe saw that Chen Jiang took less than him, and his food was lighter, which was in sharp contrast to the others.

Chen Jiang smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten that I'm from Zhejiang? People from Zhejiang usually eat a lot of seafood. Of course, it's mainly because my appetite is not very good today."

"Oh? Then you can have a glass of milk, it's good for your stomach!" Wu Zhe's family is relatively well-off, and he has been drinking milk to supplement calcium nutrition since he was a child. Therefore, his height is outstanding among his peers.

"Well, thank you very much!" Chen Jiang expressed his gratitude, then found a place to eat.

The members of Team A are all young men full of vigor and vitality. Their metabolism is very fast. In addition, they train a lot, so they all eat a lot.

After eating and drinking, everyone took a brief tour of the base under the leadership of Deputy Captain Xiong.
Because it involves military secrets, the scope of activities is extremely limited, but even so, it is the first time for them to see our country's newest and most advanced naval ships.

"Which one is the main gun? Wow, it's huge!"

"Tsk, how petty! Who's still fighting with naval guns these days? We're all missiles!"

"From your tone, it seems as if the missile belongs to you. Haven't you ever seen one?"

Several lieutenants in Squadron A had attended military academies and had some knowledge of naval knowledge, but this was their first time to come into close contact with these big guys.

When they came last year, the main battleship in the naval port had just left the port to carry out a mission, so they were very excited to see its true appearance this time, even though it was just under the cover of night.

"The Army hasn't seen these new things, Bears. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This is your home turf, and I've heard you're proficient in all kinds of naval tactics. How about you tell us a few words?"

Yuan Lang first praised Xiong Xianghui so much that he could not refuse, which gave him a sufficient reason to let his soldiers learn some valuable naval knowledge.
