Rise From Eight Hundred

The veteran took off his dark blue military uniform, revealing his thin upper body covered with scars.

There was a clearly visible bruise on the skin of his somewhat protruding ribs, which was obviously the result of a recent stabbing.

If it had been a bayonet, there was no doubt that it had broken his ribs and penetrated his body. As the soldier just said, if it had been a battlefield, he would have been dead.

It is absolutely impossible to stand there like this again and refuse to admit defeat.

But two centimeters below the bruise, there is a bright red scar that is ten centimeters long. It is surrounded by masterpieces of stitches and stitches, but the stitcher's skills are not very good. From a distance, it looks like a ferocious twisting scar. centipede.

"Here is the wound you just mentioned." The veteran looked at the soldier who questioned him with contempt, and slid his fingers down to touch the hideous scar.

"But this place is the souvenir left on me by a real Japanese bayonet when I first went to the battlefield more than two months ago." The veteran continued. "The Japanese stabbed him at least twenty centimeters into my body, but not only did I not die, I stabbed him to death with a very good stab, and then fought with his Sanba Gai for at least five minutes. This is Li Jijin's point. The company commander can vouch for me."

The whole audience gasped.

At that position, although the blade may not have hurt the internal organs due to the angle, the bayonet penetrated more than ten centimeters, and the pain alone could kill a person. This man actually endured such severe pain and persisted. Fighting for five minutes, if what he said is true, he is a tough guy.

"Tongchui is a ruthless man. He returned to the team within a month and a half despite such a serious injury. Otherwise, how could he have made it to the Battle of the Four Elements!" Li Jijin murmured to himself on the hillside. "It's not that his military rank was too low before, but now he's qualified to be a platoon leader!"

"But..." The soldier was speechless and didn't know how to refute for a while.

"It's nothing but, there is still a rib where you stabbed me. Although my ribs are not hard enough, it is still no problem to block the knife. Otherwise, how dare I trade this injury for your life?" The veteran's eyes were sharp. And proudly. "If you want me to lose, you have to trade two more lives for me!"

This was the reason why he said he would not die, because he had personally experienced injuries more serious than this, and he continued to fight that time as well.

Veterans can die, but they will not retreat.

The seven soldiers surrounding the veteran all looked solemnly, and none of the officers and sergeants watching around dared to look down upon this lone soldier.

"Beep!" The iron whistle sounded.

This is the sound of time's arrival.

Everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. Subconsciously, they did not want to see this stubborn and strong lonely soldier sent out by seven guns. All four groups were wiped out, and he was the only one in the audience.

"Line up according to groups!" As Qian Dazhu roared, all the soldiers lined up according to their original groups.

After a few minutes, Qian Dazhu, who had urgently calculated the scores, walked to the front of the queue: "After the assessment and calculation of the scores, I will announce the candidates for the squad leader and deputy squad leader of the third company."

"First squad leader No. 7 Chu Daqian, deputy squad leader No. 3 Qian Zhongyun, second squad leader..."

After the long list of names was read out, not to mention the commotion among the officers who were paying attention to the matter on the mountain, there was also noise in the queues standing neatly.

The stabbing assessment was divided into five groups. The spectators on the mountain were overwhelmed and could not see the complete picture. Only a limited number of people knew who was stronger in stabbing, but the five-kilometer fully-armed cross-country race was the clearest. Those numbers ran in It was clear at a glance that those at the front must be soldiers with strong bodies and amazing endurance. Even if they were close to fighting, they would not be far behind.

However, in the list that Qian Dazhu read, these numbers that were originally ranked very high were almost missing.

Is it possible that they can't do well in the stabbing test?

"Company Commander, I ranked fifth in the running test. I just won the stabbing test in my group. I didn't have any injuries. Why did I lose? I don't accept it." A tall man with a height of 1.75 meters strode out of the queue and stood up straight. , asked angrily with a red face.

"No. 78 Chu Weijiang, right?" Qian Dazhu glanced at the soldiers walking out of the queue, looked at his number and corresponding name and nodded. "Your score ranks among the top three among all assessors."

"Ouch! The new recruit Danzi Company Commander is still nepotism! If nothing else, I will definitely win these two pieces of ocean." A second lieutenant showed disdain, but his face was full of smiles.

"Old Abacus, you're going to lose, hurry up and give me money!" A sergeant was equally happy when he saw this scene.

"Why are you so anxious? You are not company commanders, so you are not anxious even if you haven't seen Captain Li?" Old Abacus patted the money bag in front of him very confidently. "I can't run away!"

Li Jijin, however, looked down the mountain without saying a word, with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, Xia Dayu ran to Qian Dazhu and whispered a few words. Qian Dazhu nodded to indicate that he understood.

He turned around and faced the 90 assessment team members: "Captain Tang is coming to give a lecture to all the members of the third company. He said that if he has any questions, he will answer them himself. Chu Weijiang, you will be included in the list for the time being."

Seeing Tang Dao striding down the hillside, the whole army was in awe!

The 90 people under examination at the foot of the hillside stood upright, and the officers and sergeants on the hillside could not help but quietly stand still.

The highest commander of the entire battalion will personally give a speech and explain Qian Dazhu's choice. What does this mean? Anyone with a little bit of brains will know that this is the battalion commander Tang Dazhu wants to support this rookie company commander.

The old soldier looked at Lao Suanpan's money bag and shouted in his heart: "It's over, my two dollars are gone."

With Tang Dao's statement, it is a foregone conclusion that Lao Suanpan, the dealer, has won most people. Not to mention the eight company commanders, I am afraid that even the two deputy battalion commanders and the chief of staff present will not have the weight of his words.

"Everyone, stand at attention!" Qian Dazhu roared as Tang Dao arrived.

Including the unregistered soldiers who were standing at attention 20 meters away, the two queues straightened their bodies in unison and looked directly at their highest commander.

This also shows that Tang Dao, as the commander, has great prestige at this time.

"The assessment conducted by Captain Qian Dazhu is very good! Regardless of his choice, at least it allows me to see the military quality of the officers and soldiers of the third company of my independent battalion. From the perspective of individual soldier quality, you can be called a strong army and an elite." Tang Dao's opening remarks were full of encouragement.

"However, I just heard that someone was dissatisfied with the assessment results!" Tang Dao changed the subject and reached out to Qian Dazhu, taking the personnel scoring list. "No. 78 Chu Weijiang, ranked second in the total score, but was not elected as the squad leader. Do you know why?"

"Sir, I don't know!" The sergeant who was named answered with a stiff face.

"Okay! Then I'll tell you why." Tang Dao's eyes were a little cold, pointing at Qian Dazhu. "Do you know how your Captain Qian was promoted to platoon leader?"

"That's because during the defense of Songjiang Cangcheng, the Japanese heavy artillery was rampant, and he was the only one left in his infantry platoon. It took ten minutes for the follow-up troops to get out of the anti-artillery cave and reach the position, but in these ten minutes, he had to face the attack of a Japanese infantry squad alone. This was originally an impossible task, but he did it." The sound of Tang Dao, like metal and stone, spread throughout the venue.

"Enough courage and tenacity are the most basic conditions for him to be promoted to platoon leader, but is that all? No, not entirely. He wants to rebuild his infantry platoon and pass on the spirit of his fellow soldiers who have sacrificed all their lives. As long as this spirit is passed on, this rebuilt infantry platoon will be the same as before, even if there is only one person left, they will still fight. Because this is not the courage and tenacity of one person, but the courage and tenacity of the collective. The first platoon is like this, the first company is like this, and the first battalion is still like this."

"If you still don't understand what I said, then let me ask you, Chu Weijiang, you are the first in the cross-country running in the 9th group you are in, but what about your comrades in the same group? One person's score ranks after the 50th, and one ranks after the 80th. If you just leave them alone during the real march? Even if you can run and fight, can you win the battle by yourself?" Tang Dao looked at the soldiers who were already blushing.

"Why did you choose a comrade who is not as good as you as the squad leader? It's because they carried food bags and grenades for their comrades in the same group, which led to a decline in their personal performance. Otherwise, even if he is not as good as you in individual combat power, it will never be as much as the score shows.

And your current group is your future infantry squad. Now, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir, I understand!" Although the soldier blushed, he raised his head and responded loudly.

"Very good!" Tang Dao nodded solemnly, turned his eyes to Tong Dachui, who was just announced as the squad leader of the 4th squad, his eyes full of praise, and then swept his eyes to the whole audience.

"You are lacking in collective consciousness, but you are all brave enough. You have returned from the bloody battles on the cruel battlefields time and time again, which has proved that you are the strongest soldiers of my China.

And I hope that you brave people will unite your courage in the new collective, and finally, together with all the soldiers of my independent battalion, turn this courage into a wall, blocking the Japanese invaders in front of us, and tell them that this road is blocked!"

"This road is blocked in front of my independent battalion!" Qian Dazhu raised his hand high and shouted!

"This road is blocked!" More than a hundred soldiers standing in front of the Tang Dao raised their guns high.

"This road is blocked!" The soldiers on the hillside also raised their arms.

The voice spread throughout the independent battalion station and spread to further places.

This road is blocked? After hearing this somewhat strange slogan, I don’t know how many Chinese soldiers who are still on the defense line cast their eyes in doubt in the direction of the independent battalion station. Could it be that someone is planning to become a bandit?
