Chapter 62: Tempering

If he had been strong enough, maybe there wouldn't have been so many sacrifices.

On the night of July Five, Zhou Yang was injured in front of his eyes and finally died.

And during the trip to southern Xinjiang, Zou Yitian, the squad leader who took care of him everywhere and taught him, died in front of him.

He is a soft-hearted man who can't see the sacrifice of his teammates who get along day and night, and if possible, he would rather suffer the pain of himself.

But the fact has happened, he can't change it, he can only make himself stronger, and he doesn't want to see sacrifice anymore.

Day after day, hard training and extra training have finally paid off.

In the squadron's annual year-end assessment, Zhang Wei ranked in the top 10 in the overall score and ranked second among the one-year soldiers.

There are dozens of soldiers a year, and they can rank second, which is enough for the squadron leader and instructor to take a fancy to them, and they are naturally cultivated as good seedlings.

Towards the end of the year, it's retirement season.

Of the four-person group that had participated in the three-month intensive training for non-commissioned officers, three stayed behind and were successfully transferred to non-commissioned officers, among which Zhang Ning took over as the leader of the third squad of the second platoon, Chen Yao served as the deputy squad leader of the second platoon, and Zhang Zhicheng remained in the second squad.

That is to say, from the beginning of the second class of ten members, to the end of the year there are only six team members left, Zhang Wei and other recruits after the veterans discharged, they became veterans.

Not only is there less members of the second squad, but the entire squadron has been reduced by more than one-third compared with the previous full state, and before the recruits arrive in the squadron, the task and training pressure is all on these veterans.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, coupled with the July Five-Year Incident a few months ago, the public security in the entire city of Wuhan did not dare to take vacations, and the armed police also canceled all vacations, not only to be on standby, but also to take turns patrolling the streets.

As a mobile squadron, the members are not satisfied, and the pressure of the task can be imagined.

In the two months after the New Year, the daily task was from morning to night, and normal training was difficult to guarantee, but even so, Zhang Wei still found time to practice.

Spring has arrived, and the recruits who have been trained by the recruit company have finally come to the squadron and added a wave of fresh blood to the squadron.

The training of recruits in the recruit company is relatively basic, and Zhang Wei, as a veteran, has to set an example for them, of course, this example is set by the squadron and specially set up for the recruits.

Zhang Wei's hard training and training after training every day established a positive image for the recruits.

After some time, according to the squadron leader, the spirit of this year's batch of recruits was better than the previous one.

In the middle of the year, the detachment organized a martial arts competition, and Zhang Wei was unexpectedly selected into the ten-member group of the squadron to participate in the detachment competition on behalf of the mobile squadron.

At the end of the five-day competition, the mobile squadron won the first place as desired and defended the honor of the squadron.

Zhang Wei, who performed well in obstacle running and cross-country, also left a deep impression on the detachment leader, and specially reminded Wu Sheng to train hard.

Zhang Wei's military training ability is outstanding, but his taciturn personality gives Wu Sheng and Tang Wen a headache, and they can't become qualified grassroots commanders if they don't want to speak.

They took a fancy to Zhang Wei's military training quality, so they wanted to train him in the direction of squad leader, just like Zhang Ning before.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Wei is not Zhang Ning, although his military training ability is stronger than Zhang Ning, he is far from Zhang Ning in handling the relationship between team members and command training, Zhang Ning can be appointed as deputy squad leader in the second year of enlistment, Zhang Wei is not.

A person's personality is difficult to change in a short period of time, Wu Sheng and Tang Wenyi talked to Zhang Wei a few times, and after seeing that he had no greater changes, they no longer continued to force him to change.

If you can't be a squad leader, it's acceptable to stay in the squadron and continue to serve, after all, the squadron also needs members with high military quality to support the scene.

From the beginning of the year to September, the squadron carried out several missions to assist in the search and arrest, some in Wushi and some in southern Xinjiang, and the missions were not very successful, because each mission either injured or some were killed.

The identities of these search targets are almost inseparable from the three forces, most of them have been killed, and those who have not been killed have run away, and basically no one has been caught.

In fact, the dispatch of armed police can already be regarded as a death sentence for those search targets, because they are all extremely dangerous criminals, otherwise why use the force of armed police to arrest them.

Criminals who can be killed are not very strong opponents in front of the armed police, but criminals who can escape from the armed police are definitely not simple characters.

Every task was not completed 100%, which made Zhang Wei very uncomfortable.

However, the southern Xinjiang is vast for thousands of miles, and the Tianshan Mountains run through the east and west, and criminals are hiding in it, like a few grains of sand falling into a few tons of rice, and he can only do nothing in the face of this situation, he can only sigh.

The only thing you can do is to return to the station to increase your training, strengthen your military capabilities step by step, and ensure that in the next mission, you will not let the criminals escape from your face.

It was fast to the end of August.

Chen Yao, the deputy squad leader, has already been regularized, and Zhang Zhicheng has been taking over as the deputy squad leader for two months, and the recruits who have been added to the new squad have mastered all the skills and tactics that the fighters of the armed police mobile squadron should master under their focus on training, and the rest is to intensify training and then reach the level of proficiency.

Squadron leader Wu Sheng and instructor Tang Wenyi successively talked to the two-year soldiers of each squad and platoon, and mobilized them to participate in the training of non-commissioned officers.

Zhang Wei felt that he was very good in the armed police force, so he didn't discuss it with his family, agreed to the squadron leader's suggestion, and participated in the training of non-commissioned officers with Zeng Hongda and Lei Zengrong.

The training camp started in September and lasted until November.

The three-month closed training camp was very hard for others, but for Zhang Wei, he could bear it, and he never complained about returning to the dormitory.

Among the hundreds of participants who participated in the training camp, there were not many people with high school education like Zhang Wei, not even ten, which undoubtedly became his advantage, and he was focused on during the training camp.

The closed training camp ended quickly, and Zhang Wei learned a lot here, and the instructors of the training team were much stronger than the instructors of the recruit company before, and after the training, his skills and tactics were greatly improved, and his military quality also jumped to a higher level.

In the end, Zhang Wei's results in the intensive training were excellent, and he passed the intensive training assessment and obtained the qualification of a non-commissioned officer.

Obtaining qualifications is only the first step, and whether or not you can stay in the army in the end depends on whether there are suitable vacancies in the army.

But this is not a problem for Zhang Wei at all, his ideological and political quality is no problem, he is already a reserve party member, and his military quality is also very good, and he was set up as a military training pacesetter by the squadron, and the squadron leader has already reserved a quota for him.

As soon as the training camp was over, on the day he returned to the squadron, squadron leader Wu Sheng talked to him, congratulated him on passing the training of non-commissioned officers, and hoped that he could transfer to a non-commissioned officer to stay in the squadron and continue to fight with his comrades.

Zhang Wei didn't think about anything else, it was originally his idea to stay in the army.

In addition, there are people who are going to be discharged from the army, and Zhang Zhicheng, the deputy squad leader, is also going to other squads to serve as squad leaders, and the number of veteran members in the second squad has decreased again, which makes him feel the pressure.

Since the squadron needed it, of course he chose to stay.

So Zhang Wei didn't think too much about it, and quickly agreed to the suggestion of squadron leader Wu Sheng.
