The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 17: New recruits assessment, good news!
With Su Chen's experience sharing, in the following training, the recruits began to practice shooting according to Su Chen's experience.

It is indeed more effective than before. Chen Rulong was not stingy and shared Su Chen's ideas with every recruit, which improved the shooting level of the recruit company to a certain extent.

Life in the army is always dull, with training going on day after day. In the blink of an eye, time has come to the most important node in the recruits' military career.

New recruits assessment!

The assessment for new recruits lasts for two days, and is mainly a comprehensive assessment of the new recruits' three months of training. After the assessment is over, the awarding ceremony will be held.

On a desolate and open plain, with snow covering the woods, ninety recruits in 07-style camouflage uniforms and holding QBZ95-1 rifles stood in neat formation.

In front of them, a red banner was hung high with the words “Tiger Regiment New Recruit Company Assessment” written on it!
The recruits are filled with nervousness and excitement. These two days of assessment will put an end to their life in the recruit company, and their results will directly determine their company assignment.

Chen Rulong saluted Shang Yong and said, "Comrade Company Commander, the preparations for the new recruit company assessment are complete. Please give us your instructions!——"

"Please rest." Shang Yong returned the military salute.

"Yes!" Chen Rulong put down his right arm, turned back, and walked to the front of the team: "At ease!——"

After the recruits rested for a while, Chen Rulong returned to the ranks. Company commander Shang Yong looked at the recruits and said in a deep voice:

"The next two days will be the days for your recruit assessment, which will also mean the end of your life in the recruit company! Whether it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk. I hope you can get the best results and strive to be the best. Do you have confidence?!"

The recruits stood straight and in an orderly manner, and shouted deafeningly: "Yes!——"

Chen Rulong then took a step forward and said, "I declare that the assessment of the new recruit company has officially begun!"

As he spoke, he raised his gun and fired into the air. With the sound of a gunshot, the assessment officially began.

The Tiger Regiment is an independent field regiment directly under the group army, so the assessment items are different from those of regular troops. There are more subjects and the difficulty is greater. In addition to the subjects tested by regular troops, there are additional items such as assembling guns and free rock climbing.

.........

Su Chen had been waiting for the day of the assessment, so he put in his best efforts in all subjects. No matter what he was tested on, he always had one idea in mind: strive for first place!

Therefore, during the assessment process, the impression he gave to all the recruits was that this guy was really awesome!
Needless to say, Su Chen's physical fitness is far superior to other recruits after three years of martial arts training and three months of high-intensity training in the recruit company. Chen Rulong once said that strength is the core of everything, including free rock climbing, which is not a difficult task for Su Chen.

It is worth mentioning that this time during the grenade throwing test, Su Chen, who had persisted in doing thousands of push-ups every day for nearly a month, once again achieved excellent results!
Sixty-two meters four!
This is a terrifying result achieved by Su Chen!
As for the shooting test, Su Chen's performance remained stable, and he once again scored a full score of 10 rings with 100 bullets.

After the recruit company assessment was over, the recruits were given a day off. At the same time, a major event quietly happened to Su Chen...

.........

A resettlement community in Shiqiao County, Liaodong Province.

The neighbor walked into Xiao Sumei's supermarket, took out twenty yuan and put it on the counter, and said with a smile: "Sumei, take a pack of cigarettes." "Or Liqun?" Xiao Sumei smiled and took out a pack of hard Liqun from the cigarette cabinet and handed it over with four coins, "Sixteen, here's your change."

The eldest brother seemed to have a strong addiction to cigarettes. He opened his cigarette pack in the supermarket and said, "Borrow a light!" He took a lighter from the counter and lit a cigarette. Then he said, "Xiaochen has been in the army for three months, right?"

"Yes, it's been three months! He called me two days ago and said everything was fine and asked me not to worry. Alas, I don't know if the training was hard!" Xiao Sumei had a lot to say when talking about her son.

"Oh~" the eldest brother laughed, "The army is different now than before, it's not that hard."

That's true, but what mother in the world doesn't love her son? For ordinary people, being a soldier means hard work and endless training every day.

And at this time.

The sound of gongs and drums came from far away and soon came into the community.

"Which yangko troupe is this? It's so noisy!" The eldest brother frowned.

Xiao Sumei was also wondering why there was a yangko performance! Suddenly, the door of her supermarket was pushed open, and an old lady walked in and said, "Look! The army is here to deliver the good news. Sumei, isn't your son a soldier? Could it be for your family?"

"No, my son has only been in the army for three months." Xiao Sumei thought it was unlikely.

The army usually sends good news when someone has made contributions in the army, and then the army and local authorities come to visit. Xiao Sumei thinks this matter should have nothing to do with her family, right? Xiaochen has been in the army for three months, and he probably just finished the recruit training. What kind of contribution can he make? !

"Oh! Here they are! They are almost at your door!" the old lady exclaimed and pointed to the entrance of the supermarket.

Xiao Sumei was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the door and walked out. The older brother who was smoking was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed her out.

As soon as I walked out, I saw several men in military uniforms, some holding awards or certificates of honor, as well as several middle-aged men wearing executive jackets with party emblems on their chests.

At the end, when Xiao Sumei saw the content on a banner held by two non-commissioned officers, her pupils shrank slightly, as if she suspected that she was dazzled. She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully. It read:

"Warm congratulations to Comrade Su Chen for winning the third-class individual merit"!
There is another line of small characters below: "Shiqiao County Armed Forces B (Xuan)"

The red banner with golden bold letters was particularly eye-catching. Xiao Sumei was stunned when she saw it. The aunt, the brother and the neighbors also looked shocked!

At this time, a leader in an executive jacket stepped forward and extended his hand, "You are Comrade Su Chen's mother, right?"

Xiao Sumei shook hands with him subconsciously, "Ah, it's me, you guys are..."

The other party said seriously: "I am from the county armed forces. We want to thank you for training a talent for our army. Let this comrade tell you the details." As he spoke, he pointed to a lieutenant colonel.

"Hello, comrade. I am from a certain unit of the Fengtian Military Region. I have been ordered to come here to inform you that Comrade Su Chen performed extremely well during his time in the recruit company. The leaders of the group military sub-district have decided to award Comrade Su Chen a third-class individual merit commendation, and invite you to attend Comrade Su Chen's awarding ceremony..."
