Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 45: Boost morale
"Chengcai, our company is short of two snipers. Even if Chen Jiang is selected, don't you still have a spot?" Xu Sanduo patiently enlightened him.

"Haha, it's true that there are two vacancies, but one is the main shooter and the other is the auxiliary shooter. How can the two be the same? If Chen Jiang and I become snipers together, he will definitely be the main shooter, and I can only be the auxiliary shooter. Do you know what an auxiliary shooter is?" Chengcai suddenly realized that telling this to Xu Sanduo might be like talking to a cow.

Xu Sanduo really didn't know the difference between the two. He didn't care about being a sniper. He just wanted to be a good soldier and an ordinary soldier.

"The assistant shooter is actually the sniper's assistant. He helps measure wind direction and distance, and also helps carry accessories and ammunition. Do you understand?"

Now Xu Sanduo understood. Isn't this just helping others?
But he couldn't say it so bluntly, so he could only continue to persuade, "Chengcai, the squad leader said that everyone in the team is important, just with different divisions of labor!"

"Go away, then why don't you stay in that crappy Fifth Squad on the grassland? Why don't you go to the kitchen? What are you doing in our Seventh Steel Company? How can these be the same?"

Although Xu Sanduo really wanted to refute Chengcai and tell him that Class 5 on the grassland was not shit, it was very meaningful there, even the cooking squad was meaningful, otherwise where would they get food and drink?

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because he knew Chengcai didn't like to hear this,
But Chengcai is not good at expressing what he likes to hear.

Seeing Xu Sanduo remained silent, Chengcai felt that he had gone too far in describing the harshness of the Class 5 he had experienced.
Then he changed the subject.
"Actually, the Red Third Company isn't bad either. Although it's a bit inferior to the Steel Seventh Company, it does have its advantages. There are very few top-notch snipers here. If I go there, I'll definitely be the company's top sniper, and I can also solve my own NCO problem at the same time."

"What? You want to be a traitor?" Xu Sanduo got furious. He didn't know what it meant to change jobs or not. During his time in the 7th Steel Company, the education he received told him that no one would voluntarily ask to leave the 7th Steel Company, otherwise it would be tantamount to betrayal.

Chengcai quickly covered Xu Sanduo's mouth, looked around guiltily, and after making sure no one was around, he complained, "I'm going to die, why are you shouting so loudly?"

Xu Sanduo then realized that his voice was indeed a bit outrageous, but he still insisted, "There are no soldiers who have jumped ship in the Seventh Steel Company. How sad will the company commander be if you do this?"

"You think I want to leave the Seventh Steel Company? Want to go to that crappy Red Third Company? But what's the point of me staying? I'm doomed to be mediocre. The Seventh Steel Company is good in every way, but the competition is too fierce. There are too many top students here, and I won't get any chance."

"Sanduo, do you know what it feels like to be a sniper? You don't know the feeling when my sniper rifle scope locks on the enemy. At that moment, the whole world seems to be just me and him, and this world is completely under my control. With just a slight move of my index finger..."

Chengcai made a gesture of pulling the trigger. He was so intoxicated by the action that it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Then he continued,
"I've made the arrangements. Once I get there, I'll be assigned the position of deputy squad leader, in charge of all duties, essentially acting squad leader. Since I'm already squad leader, with my shooting ability, shouldn't I also be a sniper? If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll apply to come back."

Chengcai is also trying hard to convince himself that this is the right thing to do.

But he couldn't see any support in Xu Sanduo's eyes and expression.

The meals in the camp were prepared very quickly. The kitchen staff worked very hard today. After all, in this exercise, their class was the only one in the company with the fewest casualties.

So when the sumptuous dishes were served, the aroma filled the air.

But everyone was preoccupied and no one took action.

"Let's eat!" Gao Cheng waved his hand, but although everyone moved, they ate in a dull manner.

"What are you doing? If someone didn't know, they'd think we were holding a memorial service for the Seventh Company. Come on, everyone, pick up your lunch boxes and fill them up!"

The highest etiquette at the company's dining table is to drink beer with a lunch box. One and a half bottles of beer can barely fill a lunch box. It takes some courage to do this.

Seeing that everyone had filled their glasses, Gao Cheng stood up, and as a result, everyone stood up.

"All of you sit down, come, listen to my command, sit down!"

brush!
Uniform and orderly! The discipline and obedience of the 7th Steel Company are absolutely impeccable.

"Originally, I was thinking we wouldn't have dinner today because our Seventh Company lost! Yes, we lost! Losing is shameful, but not daring to face defeat is even more shameful! So the instructor suggested we have a dinner to learn from our failure. What's the saying? Yeah, it goes, 'A sword's sharpness is forged through grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!'"

"Our Seventh Steel Company has been so successful in the past few years that we've become complacent. This defeat serves as a perfect reminder that there are always people better than you. We in the Seventh Steel Company are not the kind of people who can't afford to lose, nor are we the kind of people who can't get up after a loss. So who are we?"

Everyone stood up.

“Never give up, never abandon!”

“Never give up, never abandon!”

“Never give up, never abandon!”

The roars from the throats of a hundred people resounded through the sky.

Hong Xingguo was happy because Gao Cheng was better at boosting morale than himself.

Gao Cheng picked up the lunch box and continued, "So I suggest that we use this first box of wine to toast ourselves. Failure is the mother of success. After finishing this box of wine, we should remember our failure and go back to practice like crazy!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped down a whole box of wine.

Since the company commander drank it, there was no reason for the soldiers not to drink it.

Gao Cheng rubbed his wine-filled mouth vigorously and continued, "This second box of wine is a toast to our opponent. The Blues slapped us so well, so loudly! They slapped our dignity and made us realize our own shortcomings. Damn it, next time we meet again, what do you think we should do?"

The whole audience was stunned, and immediately responded in unison: "Fuck him!"

Gao Cheng laughed, "Okay, do it!"

Hong Xingguo wanted to pull him away because Gao Cheng's alcohol tolerance was very average, but Gao Cheng had already tilted his head back and drank it down again.

In an instant, the whole company was filled with the sound of drinking.

"This third box of wine, we are doing this for no reason, free shooting!"

He drank again.

Gao Cheng's actions completely lifted the atmosphere of the entire company.

Everyone was laughing and crying as they found a partner to drink heavily. They needed an outlet for their emotions, and the wine was an excellent catalyst.
