Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 251 Special Forces Blades Out of the Sheath 24

"Erniu, let me ask you, what is the significance of us wearing this military uniform?" Yu Xian asked, looking into Li Erniu's eyes.

"Go into battle and kill the enemy, defend our country!" Li Erniu's thinking was very clear.

"Killing the enemy is a means. Defending the country is the ideal of every one of our soldiers. If you want to realize the ideal of defending the country, it is not about how long you stand in military posture every day, how many times you run a five-kilometer armed cross-country race, how much time you shorten your limit in the 400-meter event, or how many rings you hit under extreme conditions when shooting." Yu Xian tried his best to make things clear.

"But one day, when our country is invaded by the enemy, we can calmly pick up the weapons in our hands, kill the enemies who intend to harm our country and our brothers and sisters, let their blood run dry, and tell those guys who refuse to give up that this is the end of invading our country!"

"More than 70 years ago, our nation was facing the danger of national extinction. We were a backward country with insufficient productivity, but a 10-year-old child could take up arms and go to the battlefield to fight against the army of a country that had completed capitalist industrialization! Erniu, we, as the younger generation, must not let our ancestors laugh at us!"

"Their heroic spirits are watching us!"

"Yu Xian, why are you crying?" Li Erniu asked, looking at the two lines of tears on Yu Xian's face.

"It's okay, Erniu. Remember what a foreigner said, the flower-growing people are the luckiest nation in the world, and they have always been protected at the risk of their lives by the bravest people among them! Erniu, you are now one of the bravest people too, and you must not bring shame to our ancestors. We should be friendly to our comrades, the masses, and our brothers and sisters. If we face the enemy, we must become more fierce and cruel than them, so that we can kill them and survive ourselves." Yu Xian wiped away her tears, patted Li Erniu's shoulder and said.

"I...I feel very ashamed." Li Erniu lowered his head.

"It's okay, let's go train first and get some sleep!"

Yu Xian stood up and walked to a huge tree to start preparing. Li Erniu followed him and the two of them placed the tree across their abdomen and started doing sit-ups.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shanming arrived and ordered everyone to pack their bags and weapons and gather. When everyone had gathered, Fan Tianlei arrived and said a lot of things, saying that these people were all idiots and would get diarrhea if they were shot in the head. Then he asked Chen Shanming to lead everyone in an armed cross-country trip at night until all their strength was exhausted.

When they gathered again, the team of 19 was missing two people. They were mentally unable to get over the killing and were forcibly sent back to their original unit. Everyone expressed regret for this, but was also surprised by the equipment on the field, because today's training might be different.

Fan Tianlei spoke again, saying that it was the final examination for the sniper tactics subject. They were going to play a battle royale game and draw cards to decide who would be the hunter and who would be the prey.

The prey walks on two feet, and the hunter is equipped with various equipment and buffs. If the prey survives the hunter's pursuit for 24 hours, the hunter will be considered a failure.

Yu Xian remembered the positions of the Joker and the Big Joker, but when he was about to take a card, he saw Fan Tianlei's eyelids twitching slightly, so he had to change to an ordinary card. Want to build momentum for He Chenguang? Yu Xian looked at He Chenguang who got the Joker calmly and said to himself that he was sorry, because of Fan Tianlei, he could not win in this game.

"Show your cards!" Fan Tianlei saw that everyone had got the ideal cards and couldn't wait to give the order.

The result was the same as the original plot, He Chenguang got the big king, and Li Erniu, who obeyed him, got the small king.

"Prey, bring your equipment to Unit 1!"

Upon hearing the order, He Chenguang dragged Li Erniu, whose legs were weak, onto the helicopter. He took the equipment from the instructor, threw it into the cabin, and followed him up.

"Erniu, remember how long it took you to get from a kid at a construction site to where you are today! You are no worse than anyone else!" Yu Xian shouted at Li Erniu just before the cabin door closed.

Watching the helicopter flying away from the airport, Wang Yanbing looked at Yu Xian and then at himself thoughtfully.

In the helicopter, He Chenguang looked at the dazed Li Erniu with confusion. He was still worried about becoming a prey just a moment ago, but now he was gradually calming down.

"Erniu, what did Yu Xian mean by what he just said to you?"

"It's not interesting. Chenguang, when did you start learning sniper tactics?" Li Erniu looked at He Chenguang with a complicated expression.

"I've been learning it since I was a child! What's wrong?" He Chenguang found this question puzzling but still answered it truthfully.

He Chenguang remembers one afternoon when he was a child, he was on the second floor of his home holding a toy gun and imitating the adults while observing his grandfather coming home from get off work. The next day, he was taken to the shooting range to learn how to shoot.

"It's nothing, thank you Chen Guang, I, Li Erniu, am very happy to meet you!" At this moment, Li Erniu no longer had the inferiority complex and cowardice he had before.

"Erniu, why do I feel that you are different from before!" He Chenguang said with a smile.

"Really? I think so too!" Li Erniu smiled embarrassedly.

At the helicopter airport apron, Fan Tianlei raised his hand to check the time.

"One hour is up, hunters are leaving!"

The fifteen people took their equipment and boarded their respective vehicles without saying a word.

"You two have offended me, and you still have the nerve to board a helicopter?" Song Kaifei sat in the helicopter cockpit and looked back at Yu Xian and Wang Yanbing and teased.

"Commander, we will settle the score in the future. Let's talk about this in two days. Now how about we work together to catch the prey?"

Wang Yanbing wanted to fight back, but Yu Xian held him down first and then spoke to Song Kaifei.

"You're sensible!" Song Kaifei sat up straight and started the engine.

"Commander, fly steadily. I used to be carsick, and I might get airsick too." Yu Xian added as the helicopter took off.

Sure enough, in the following period of time, Song Kaifei, who had not had his hands dirty for a long time, was making all kinds of trouble, which made Xu Tianlong call it nonsense. After he had enough fun, everyone started to talk about business. Wang Yanbing handed his mark on the map to Xu Tianlong.

"One hour, carrying a load of 30 kilograms, and an activity radius of 10 kilometers, just brag!" Song Kaifei thought this was bragging.

"Chief, I believe in He Chenguang because I can do it too." Wang Yanbing shouted loudly.

"You? Wait, didn't you say you were airsick? How come nothing happened to me after flying for half a day?" Song Kaifei was about to mock him but saw that Yu Xian, who was sitting next to him, did not look like someone who would get airsick.

"Hehehe, we had some unpleasantness with you, Chief, on our first day here. If we don't find a chance to let you vent your anger, what will you do if you make things difficult for us in the future?" Yu Xian said with a smile.

"Nonsense! I'm a lieutenant, how could I be so petty? From now on, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush, so as not to cause misunderstandings!" Song Kaifei recalled that his arrogance during this period was a bit too much.

"That's right, everyone just need to talk it out, there's plenty of time ahead! Get along well with each other, okay!" Xu Tianlong patted Song Kaifei on the shoulder and said.

"Four Eyes, why are you saying things as disgusting as our political commissar?"

Song Kaifei moved the joystick as he spoke, and the people in the cabin fell to the ground. Xu Tianlong called it a mess again. However, this atmosphere did not last long, because two hunters died, so everyone had to stop and discuss.

"This is a bit difficult!" Xu Tianlong sighed as he looked at the place where the two people died.

"Aren't you from the same military unit? Tell me what you think!" Song Kaifei said to Yu Xian and Wang Yanbing.

"This...the leaders are discussing matters, so we two privates shouldn't get involved!" Yu Xian stopped Wang Yanbing who was about to speak.

"Stop it. In our army, officers and soldiers are equal and there is military democracy. Get to work!" Seeing that Yu Xian was still playing this joke, Song Kaifei immediately quoted what he heard from the political commissar and scolded him.

"Yes!"

Yu Xian and Wang Yanbing stopped joking when they saw that Song Kaifei had explained all the rules, and immediately started calculating on the map. Before they could figure out the results, two more hunters were killed.

At this time, when Fan Tianlei received the notice and arrived at He Zhijun's office in the Langya Brigade, he saw an acquaintance was also there.

"report!"

"Chief of Staff Fan is here?" He Zhijun didn't even raise his head.

"Engineer Tang, you are here too?" Fan Tianlei didn't expect to see Tang Xinyi here.

"Chief of Staff, we haven't seen each other for some time." Tang Xinyi was a little embarrassed.

The last exercise was an unpleasant experience. We were confident in developing a reconnaissance system, but in the first actual combat, we were defeated by the opponent. After repairing it with great difficulty, we found that the terrain was too restrictive. Later, a private soldier stripped us of our clothes, and when we tried to get back at them, we were beaten up again.
