The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 13 Break through yourself! Hard work will eventually pay off!
"This..." Su Chen didn't expect the squad leader to ask him this question.

Chen Rulong smiled and said, "Why? Is it inconvenient to tell me?"

"Not really." Su Chen shook his head. "Sergeant, you are right. I have been working very hard since I joined the army. The reason why I set high standards for myself is because I am used to not doing something or doing it to the best of my ability."

Either do nothing, or do everything to the best of your ability?
Chen Rulong chewed over Su Chen's words in his heart, and then laughed, "Interesting! It's hard to imagine that this sentence can be said by an eighteen-year-old boy. You are a good soldier!"

Su Chen also smiled and said, "Thank you, squad leader!"

"What are you thanking me for?" Chen Rulong patted Su Chen's shoulder. "I have been in the army for twelve years and have been training new recruits for more than ten years. There are not many soldiers like you. I like soldiers like you! I often say that if you do something, you must do it well. It's just that some people have never learned this sentence from joining the army to retiring. Now too many people have a mentality of muddling through. Such soldiers are not suitable for the Tiger Regiment, let alone the military camp! You are different from them. Persevere and you will have a good development in the army!"

Su Chen nodded and said, "I understand, squad leader."

Chen Rulong hummed, and then talked about the main topic of looking for Su Chen. He seemed to ask casually: "Do you know the special forces?"

Special forces?

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know."

"In the Fengtian Military Region, there are only two special forces. In addition to the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade, do you know where the other special forces is?"

Su Chen shook his head, "I really don't know."

Chen Rulong smiled, "Right here, the Tiger Group!"

"Ah?" Su Chen was surprised: "Does our regiment have special forces?"

"Of course!"

Chen Rulong proudly introduced: "The 8th Company of the Tiger Regiment is a sharp knife unit that exists specifically to deal with special operations and fight against special forces! In previous exercises, it is also known as the Red Special Forces! This company focuses on shooting, fighting, personal ability and other skills. Not only the Tiger Regiment, but too many soldiers in the military region feel honored to be able to join the 8th Company!"

"This company sounds awesome!" Su Chen exclaimed. No wonder many people in the Tiger Regiment had expressions of yearning and respect on their faces when they mentioned the Eighth Company.

Chen Rulong was very satisfied with Su Chen's reaction and introduced the 8th Company of the Sharp Knife to him. The purpose given by the instructor was achieved.

Then Chen Rulong asked, "What about you? Do you want to become a special forces soldier?"

Su Chen answered without even thinking: "Yes!"

"Your current results are not enough!" Chen Rulong said with a sharp gaze, "You need to be the best. The recruit assessment is your first goal! Whether you want to join the 8th Company of the Sharp Knife or the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade, your personal ability must be outstanding!"

"I understand, squad leader!" Su Chen took note of Chen Rulong's words.

Chen Rulong nodded, "For example, in grenade throwing, you can now reach an excellent level, but it is not enough, you still need to continue practicing! Including physical fitness, you have to excel! Fortunately, there is still a month before the recruit assessment, so there is still enough time."

"Please teach me, squad leader." Su Chen said hurriedly.

"I've said before that throwing grenades depends to a certain extent on your strength. If you want to stand out, you must practice harder than others! But the new recruits have a fixed daily training schedule, so it's impossible for you to practice more, so..."

Chen Rulong didn't say anything else, but looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen understood, "Got it, weight bearing?!"

"Smart!" Chen Rulong looked at Su Chen approvingly. "For example, when doing push-ups, others do them normally, but you do them with narrow hands or even three fingers. For example, when running five kilometers, you run with a sandbag tied to your body. In short, it's just one sentence:

“There is nothing that cannot be solved by practicing calligraphy!”…………

Chen Rulong's words deeply influenced Su Chen.

In the next half month, every recruit noticed the changes in Su Chen, especially the soldiers in the third squad of the first row. They found that after training every day, Su Chen would do three-finger push-ups with both hands in the dormitory. He started with 500, but after half a month, Su Chen could do thousands of push-ups, and the rest interval between each set was getting shorter and shorter.

After the training that day and before lights out after dinner, Su Chen went to the horizontal bar outside the dormitory as usual, took off his camouflage jacket, and started doing push-ups.

The soldiers of the third squad in the first row looked down through the window and smacked their lips in amazement.

"Wow, Su Chen has been holding on for half a month!"

"That's right! For half a month, he did 500 push-ups every day without fail. This is too much!"

"Oh my god, Su Chen makes me look like a loser!"

"Why is Su Chen doing this? His physical fitness and subject training are already among the best in the recruit company! Is he going to be a special forces soldier if he trains like this?!"

The recruits were talking to each other, unable to understand Su Chen's abnormal demands on themselves.

Dai Yuejin looked through the window and saw Su Chen doing push-ups downstairs. He seemed to be touched. Thinking about his own pull-ups, he only had a few levels. He gritted his teeth and said to himself:

"Tomorrow, I will also go to practice with Brother Chen. I can't be so decadent anymore!"

Dai Yuejin never thought about it. He had said this since Su Chen was doing push-ups for the third day.

…………

On this day, there were only fifteen days left before the recruit assessment. During the afternoon training, the training session was again on grenade throwing.

"Everyone in the third squad of the first platoon, get ready to drop bombs!" squad leader Chen Rulong shouted expressionlessly.

A squad of ten soldiers, each holding a Type 86 all-plastic grenade, took two steps forward and walked to the throwing area, waiting for Chen Rulong's next order!
Chen Rulong ordered: "Drop bombs in turn!"

Swish, swish, swish...!
The soldiers threw out the grenades in their hands one after another.

Dai Yuejin performed steadily and achieved a good result of 45 meters. After more than half a month of training, most of the other soldiers also passed the test.

Soon, the soldiers in Class 1 set their sights on Su Chen's results.

Chen Rulong saw Su Chen throw the grenade in a very standard posture, swinging it at a 45-degree angle. The grenade drew a perfect arc in the air and finally landed between 65 and 70 meters. Everyone was dumbfounded!
WTF?! !
How many meters did Su Chen he he he he he throw? !
Chen Rulong's eyes flashed with surprise, and then his face was full of smiles. He said loudly: "Su Chen, 67 meters!!!"

The soldiers in the row were all dumbfounded, looking at Su Chen as if he was a monster. What the hell... Su Chen couldn't even pass the test half a month ago! Is he crazy? !
