Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company
Chapter 94 Why can one sentence negate my efforts?
Chapter 94 Why can one sentence negate my efforts?
Wu Zhe's criticism of Yuan Lang was merciless. Even when Tielu reminded him that this was no longer an objection but an accusation and that the case would be brought to a military court, Wu Zhe remained unmoved.
It's clear that he is not afraid of falling out with Yuan Lang.
"Wu Zhe, do you hate me so much because I wantonly trample on other people's dignity and hopes?"
Wu Zhe looked at Yuan Lang calmly.
"Yes!"
"Okay, then let me ask you, who did you think performed the best yesterday?"
Wu Zhe didn't even think twice. "If we talk about the results of the battle, it must be Chen Jiang! If we talk about heroism, it must be Xu Sanduo! It's definitely not me."
"Okay, what's the reason?"
"Because they relied on themselves to create miracles that others thought were impossible when there was no hope."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and was unable to continue.
Yuan Lang knew that he was a smart man, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Only when there's absolutely no hope can you unearth your ultimate potential, as well as your nature and instincts unknown to others, even to yourself. This is both a screening process for you and a rare opportunity for you to improve yourself."
"Our unit isn't a regular force, not even a special forces unit in the conventional sense. The ones we select from among you will fight in the most brutal of environments, carrying out missions that others would consider treacherous. Therefore, we must be extremely careful when selecting our personnel, fully discerning your abilities and your good and bad qualities, so as not to create an extremely harsh and hopeless situation. Teach me how to identify you."
"You said I called you while you were training, right? Actually, it was just a prop, a toy without batteries. Its only function was to help you transform your grief and anger into strength."
Yuan Lang took out his key and threw it over. "This is the key to my office. You can go to my office and check it after you leave. It's in the first drawer on the right side of my desk."
"As for what you said about me disappearing for a month after eating a meal, haha, I was planning yesterday's test. I didn't sleep for several nights to design such a scene. Unfortunately, you still saw through it. If you are willing to stay in Team A, I suggest you do such thankless tasks in the future."
Facing Yuan Lang's kindness, Wu Zhe thought for a moment.
"I request that we check it out now. If we delay, I'm afraid you might be fabricating something!"
"can!"
Wu Zhe saluted and walked out.
Tielu shook his head. "Although this soldier is capable, he's also incredibly stubborn and difficult to lead!"
Yuan Lang was very excited. "Wu Zhe's ability is unquestionable. Such talents are extremely rare. If we don't want him, other troops will pick up a treasure! And I don't want to waste such a talent."
The one who walked in from behind was Xu Sanduo.
Yuan Lang was very satisfied with Xu Sanduo, and let him leave after a few words. In fact, Yuan Lang had already decided between him and Chen Jiang as early as the early stage of special training.
Then there is Wu Liuyi.
Wu Liuyi was actually very nervous. His test results yesterday were very average. Although he had tried his best, he was still "shot dead". When he was in the 7th Steel Company, he had seen comrades being "shot dead" during exercises, and their final outcomes were not very good.
But he still walked in with his head held high, and faced Yuan Lang and others' verdict on his fate seriously and calmly.
"Liuyi, I'm so proud of you for making it this far!"
"Thank you!"
Wu Liuyi was a little unsure of what Yuan Lang was going to say, but he felt vaguely uneasy. It seemed that before telling bad news, he had to praise others first.
"If Squadron A were to send you out on a mission in the future, who would you like to team up with?"
"Chen Jiang, Xu Sanduo, Chengcai, and Wu Zhe." Wu Liuyi answered readily.
Yuan Lang smiled slightly, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"Because Chen Jiang and I are from the 7th Steel Company, and everyone in the 7th Steel Company adheres to the principle of 'never give up, never abandon'. This is the foundation of our foothold in the entire regiment and even the entire division. Wu Zhe and I share a dormitory. He is also an extremely outstanding soldier. Although he is a major, he is not at all arrogant. I feel very relieved to be with such a person!"
"Okay, there will be such an opportunity, I promise! Go out and call Chengcai in!"
Ok?
Wu Liuyi hasn't fully reacted yet. How could there be such an opportunity?
Is this to make me stay?
"Liuyi, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Report, I understand!" A bright smile suddenly appeared on Wu Liuyi's face. He saluted with a standard military salute and then walked out excitedly.
Chengcai, who was waiting in the corridor, was in a bad situation. He didn't sleep all night and kept asking himself why he had been so cowardly at such a critical moment.
He even looked down on himself and couldn't understand why this shouldn't be the case. Was he really that bad in his subconscious?
Seeing Wu Liuyi calling him in with a smile on his face, his heart sank.
It seems that Wu Liuyi also passed. In his opinion, the number of people who passed was limited. At most, only half of the 9 people would be allowed to pass. The rest
He didn't dare to think too much, so he could only simply tidy up his clothes, then try his best to control his breathing and make his steps steady as he walked in.
"Chengcai, your performance yesterday disappointed us!"
Yuan Lang hit him hard right from the start, which made Chengcai a little at a loss.
He forced himself to calm down and then argued,
"Because almost all of our team members were killed or wounded, it was impossible to complete the mission. In order to preserve our manpower, so..."
"Just because of the heavy casualties, you think it's impossible to complete the mission? So you want to give up and become a deserter?" Yuan Lang's question was aggressive.
Chengcai was a little overwhelmed, but he still brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago, even though it was the best excuse he could think of.
"According to international military common sense, a unit is considered to have lost its combat effectiveness if more than half of its personnel are lost. Our team suffered over three-quarters casualties yesterday, and my team leader also informed me that I could choose to abandon the unit without taking any responsibility."
Chengcai's words became softer and softer. In fact, it was extremely difficult to convince himself of his words.
Not to mention Yuan Lang who kept staring at him.
As expected, Yuan Lang scoffed at his words.
"You're talking about conventional troops, and that's common sense in foreign armies. It doesn't apply to our Chinese Army! Think about the volunteer army martyrs back then. They always fought to the death, even when more than half of their men were killed or wounded, or even when they were almost wiped out. Take your 7th Steel Company, for example. If you had to give up because of heavy losses, would there still be a 7th Steel Company?"
Yuan Lang's words were like a knife that cut through the fig leaf that Chengcai had worked so hard to piece together.
"I admit, I was scared yesterday. I'm ashamed of my performance. I hope you can give me another chance!"
Yuan Lang shook his head. "We went to great lengths to test your truest side. Unfortunately, you failed the test. This kind of test doesn't work after one use. At least I don't believe a second test would be of much use."
"Chengcai, you chose to give up in yesterday's scenario. If this were a real scenario, do you know what your giving up would mean? It's like you disregarded the lives of so many people and only cared about escaping yourself. We in Squadron A really don't dare to use someone like that."
Yuan Lang's words were very straightforward, Chengcai's face became a little ferocious,
"Why, why do you want to deprive me of my chance just because I made a mistake once? This is unfair, I refuse to accept it. Why can your subjective judgment negate all my efforts? Do you think you know me so well?"
Yuan Lang looked at Chengcai and did not answer his question. Instead, he gave him a small test.
"Explain to us the 'six words' of the Seventh Steel Company."
Ok?
Chengcai was a little confused.
"What six words?"
Yuan Lang smiled.
"Chengcai, you have only been in the army for three years. You won't forget the old unit where you served for more than two years, right?"
"No, I just don't quite understand what you mean."
Chengcai tried hard to find out what those six words were in his memories.
"Look, you've lived there for over two years, yet you've never developed any real feelings for it. Those six words are the very foundation of the Seventh Company's pride: 'Never give up, never abandon.'"
Chengcai felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his forehead, and the waves of memories hit his fragile heart hard.
Damn, how come I don’t even remember this?
"Chengcai, why do you want to come to Team A?"
"I"
Yuan Lang didn't even give Chengcai a chance to speak.
"Don't worry about me. Let me answer for you. Because you think that A Battalion is a better platform than the Red Third Company and the 702nd Regiment. It is a better platform for you to realize your life ideals. If one day you find a higher platform than ours, you will abandon us and move to another place without hesitation. All of our comrades here are just passing guests in your life."
Chengcai's lips were trembling with excitement. He understood that Team A might not want him anymore, which meant that he would have to return to the Grassland Class 5 that he had completely said goodbye to.
"No, you said a month ago that you were welcome to become a member of Old A. And what about my armband and name tag? Are they all lies? And when I chose to give up yesterday, it was my commanding officer who told me I could choose to give up without taking any responsibility. Is he also a liar? Or is everyone in this base a liar?"
Yuan Lang walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and signaled him to control his emotions.
"These armbands are just rags. What can they represent? Even for those of us here, if there were ever military reform or disarmament that required us to take off our uniforms, we would obey orders without hesitation and take them off! Because we are soldiers, and soldiers should obey orders as their first duty!"
"As for the rest you mentioned, yes, those were lies we concocted specifically to test you. I admit they were deeply deceptive and unkind, but they were the most merciful and effective testing method we could devise. Such a special experience might only come once in your lifetime, but unfortunately, you gave it up!"
"So, even though you're excellent in other areas, your shooting skills are very high, and your scores are among the best, these are really not what our army values, and they're not even what modern warfare requires!"
