An Yi and his entourage of more than ten people walked and talked, and before they returned to the gate of the camp, Second Lieutenant Qu Tongyuan, the star officer on duty, took a long leg and ran to report: The bosses such as Shi Zuo, Deputy Division Commander Jiang, Chief of Staff Xu and Regiment Commander Chen have entered the camp accompanied by Qiao Shijie, the commander of the special service company, and are currently visiting the newly built training facilities on the field. It is estimated that the brothers were so loud in the morning game that they were alarmed.

Everyone looked at An Yi quite nervously, and Hu Zi and Yin Jinan were also very upset because they did not report such a big matter to the division headquarters.

An Yi pondered for a moment, his mind moved, called Yang Bin and the five people to whisper, and then discussed a few words with Hu Zi and Yin Jinan, and led everyone to stride into the camp gate.

Yang Bin and the others, accompanied by Dong Yanzi and a squad of adjutant guards, bypassed the west side of the field and walked towards the camp headquarters, and An Yi led Hu Zi, Yin Jinan and Gu Changfeng to walk quickly to Liu Zhi and others in the east.

"Report, I don't know if the master seat and the commanders have arrived, I missed the distance, please forgive me!" An Yi led the three brothers to stand up and salute loudly.

Liu Zhi and the others were pointing at the sappers who were working intensively at the hill more than 70 meters to the east, and turned around when they heard An Yi's report.

Liu Zhi took two steps forward and asked rather unhappily: "You are holding a large-scale military skills competition and the selection of top soldiers, why don't you submit the plan to the division headquarters in advance?" ”

"Master, we're just making a small fuss, where can we call it grand scale? A few subordinates are all because the morale of the brothers is sluggish after the hard battle, and most of the recruits are confused and don't know what to do, so they use the way of competition to enliven the atmosphere, so that the brothers can temporarily forget the unhappiness of the past. Right, Shizao, hehe......"

An Yi returned to his usual hippie smile as he spoke, as if he had never been injured and had forgotten about being poached from a backbone company.

Jiang Dingwen lowered his face and scolded: "If you don't see you injured, Lao Tzu really wants to beat you, when will you be able to settle down?" Look...... The training facilities on this battlefield, and then look at the 50-meter trench being dug under the hill in the east and the dozens of chest targets and humanoid targets on the side, what is it that is not a large-scale training competition? In the past few days, your whole battalion has been training like crazy, every mountain on the outskirts of the city is the sound of your gunfire, and more than 1,000 people have divided into several ways to carry out skill tests and elimination selections, and they have succeeded in deceiving us, thinking that you are really conducting regular training. This morning, the whole Fengxin City heard your earth-shattering howl, and the squires and celebrities in the city were so frightened that they ran to the division headquarters, and you dared to say that it was a small fight with such a big movement? ”

An Yi explained with a bitter face: "Oops...... This is mainly due to the fact that several other brother groups are resting, and they are quiet everywhere, and they can be heard in the south of the city and the north of the city, so it seems that there is a lot of movement on our side, right? If each regiment worked three times a day as usual, with loud singing and roaring loudly, wouldn't it be customary to be used to this radius of dozens of miles in a day or two? We can't blame the engineer battalion for this! Ladies and gentlemen, even if we really do something wrong, the intention is good, and there is no merit and hard work, right? If it weren't for this toss, the brothers in the camp would be thinking about the recent life and death every day, and they would be soaked in bitter water all the time, and the younger brother would not be able to take the soldier with him......"

"Shut up ......"

Jiang Dingwen roared, and he laughed first, and everyone couldn't hold back his laughter, and they all laughed.

Liu Zhi shut up and shook his head a few times, pointed to the training facilities around the field and asked, "Where did you learn it?" The division headquarters does not have such perfect training facilities, and the whole division has your model battalion, don't you think you should explain? ”

An Yi hurriedly replied: "The master is serious!" These temporary facilities don't cost a few dollars, hundreds of brothers can be built by sweat, because we are too poor, we don't have the money to buy reinforced concrete and good wood production, it is estimated that a heavy rain will fall, most of the facilities on this one will not be used, hehe...... In fact, I heard about these things from the Baoding Military Academy, the alma mater of the division seat and the chief of staff, and it happened that the four newly formed engineer companies under it had nothing to do, so they asked these brothers to take advantage of the opportunity of building training facilities to compare and see how much the level of each company had dropped.

If the division seat likes it, when our division headquarters settles down one day, the subordinates will definitely lead their brothers to build one for my second division, and then it will not be just these simple facilities, but also add climbing, high platform obstacles, high-altitude rappelling, single parallel bars, semi-enclosed underground shooting range, automatic target moving devices, etc., in comparison, these small and simple facilities are embarrassed to let the division seat and the commanders see, shabby! ”

Everyone laughed again, and even said that An Yi was a cunning kid, only Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao noticed the many new terms and new facilities in An Yi's words, and they were surprised why An Yi could know so many things.

An Yi happily invited everyone to sit on the high platform in the north at this time, and after the belated "Please come to the training" was finished, and then said very modestly that he didn't measure himself to get an axe, and asked the bosses to criticize it, which made a group of chiefs laugh and scold, and they didn't have any temper at all.

Two rows of neat long tables have already been placed on the high platform, the first row of the governor's seat is laid with new white sheets on the table, cups of fragrant tea mist rise, fragrant, several bosses who have stood for a long time feel comfortable and quite comfortable as soon as they sit down, where there is still a trace of blame.

"Reporter, is the contest ready to start?"

An Yi strode to Liu Zhi's desk to ask for instructions.

Liu Zhi glanced at the more than 300 participating officers and soldiers gathered in the center of the camp, looked at the four sides of the wide camp and the empty field, and discussed for a moment with Xu Tingyao, Jiang Dingwen and Chen Jiji, who were also puzzled on the left and right, and asked in a low voice:

"Why are there only more than 300 people and a few officers and soldiers of the squad? What does it mean to have three steps and one post and five steps and one sentry around the camp? Why are the doors and windows of the small building 40 meters to the east all boarded with wooden boards? What kind of name is this? ”

"Report to the division commander, because the selection of elite soldiers and the test of training results are very important, some new equipment will appear in the middle, and some new tactics will be used, so the subordinates unanimously decided to strictly keep secrets after holding a military meeting of the commanders of each battalion and company.

For the sake of secrecy, we have cordoned off a 500-meter radius around the barracks, and more than 1,000 brothers from various companies and platoons who have no competition tasks have already left the barracks for field training or to carry out perimeter guard tasks, and only the more than 300 officers and men participating in the field are qualified to watch, so that they can have a direction for their efforts in the future.

The top 50 winners will directly enter the guard company directly under our battalion, and will henceforth undertake the tasks of our battalion's reconnaissance, arrest, going deep behind enemy lines to subvert and sabotage, attacking the enemy's important military installations, kidnapping, and even assassinating the enemy's important generals. An Yi explained truthfully and in detail.

Liu Zhi and the others had heard An Yi mention the heavy responsibility of his police platoon before, and several people looked at An Yi's calm face silently, I don't know what to say, if An Yi is really allowed to train such a sharp soldier, it will be an extremely sharp dagger for the second division and the model battalion, but no one has ever seen such a strong soldier selected, trained and demonstrated in a systematic manner, so several bosses were skeptical, but they were full of expectations, and finally understood why An Yi was so cautious and strictly confidential.

"Let's get started, follow your plan, and don't need to ask for anything, you're solely responsible." Liu Zhi whispered.

"Yes!"

An Yi turned around and walked to the edge of the high platform, raised his hand to Yin Jinan in the middle of the high platform, and then waved his hand to the beard at the starting point in front of the high platform, and strode back to the chair left behind Liu Zhi in advance to sit down, serving as the explanation of the entire selection competition and the display of training results.

An Yi introduced in a low voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, now at the starting point of the runway in front of us on the right are the ten brothers who have been officially selected into the guard company, and they will be divided into two groups for demonstration, so that the three hundred and sixty-seven brothers in the field can familiarize themselves with it, so that they can have an all-out battle in the future...... Beard raised the chess piece and began ......"

The bearded flag was drawn out of the wind and waved decisively, and the five officers and men of the heavily armed guard company suddenly rushed forward more than 30 meters, almost all of them climbed over the wooden wall more than two meters high in three seconds, and after landing on the ground, they quickly lay down and crawled forward, climbed out of the low barbed wire fence five meters square, and then ran wildly, one after another jumped onto the six-meter-long single-plank bridge and passed at high speed, rushing forward for more than 10 meters and jumping into the muddy and muddy pit one after another, stirring up pieces of dirty water.

When the five officers and men got up from the other side of the pit, they all turned into mud figures, covered in filth and soaked with all of them, they ignored it, and then rushed to the four-meter-high and four-meter-wide rope net that had just been built halfway through, and one by one struggled to climb up to the top, climbed over the thick beam above and quickly climbed down one or two meters before jumping down in mid-air, and after landing, they quickly rushed to another deep pit, continued to conquer the obstacles in the first half, and soon all crossed the finish line.

"Six minutes and twenty-one seconds! That's not a bad result. ”

An Yi reported in a low voice, seeing that Liu Zhi and the others had no reaction, An Yi repeated it again. How did they know that Liu Zhi and the others had already seen it dizzyingly, how could they not have imagined that the training level of An Yi's guard company was so high and the difficulty was so great, especially the speed and method of the five demonstration officers and soldiers passing through two impoundment pits and a four-meter rope net were eye-opening, such a complex combination of obstacles and extraordinary difficulty, these five heavily armed officers and soldiers all passed smoothly, and almost at the same time reached the end point of the left front, it only took a short six minutes and twenty-one seconds, which was unimaginable for Liu Zhi and others. All of them were deeply shocked by the well-trained and strong combat power of the An Yi Guard Company. But before they could finish their long sighs, the second group of demonstration officers and soldiers had already set off, and everyone's eyes were once again tightly grasped.

"Six minutes and twelve seconds! Not bad...... These five guys probably carefully observed the passing skills of the brothers in front of them, and shortened them by as much as nine seconds, grandma's! It seems that there is hope to greatly shorten the completion time, and the standard must be modified, haha......" An Yi is very satisfied.

Liu Zhi and the others all looked back at An Yi, and when they saw the evil smile on his face, they didn't scold him again, Liu Zhi sighed: "Xiao Yi, we know that your original police platoon has strong combat capabilities and rich field reconnaissance experience, and we also know that the training of these top soldiers is very hard, in the battle of Shangfu, the officers and soldiers of each regiment have seen their outstanding performance, coupled with the amazing performance of this Fengxin battle, the whole division has regarded your guard company as a target to pursue, but we didn't expect it to be so strong...... You have surprised us very much, and we have also pondered deeply, this time you have selected a group of outstanding officers and men to supplement them, and the combat capability of this contingent will be rapidly improved, and I am afraid that all regiments and battalions of the whole division will not be able to catch up. Therefore, I hope that you will once again submit to the division headquarters in the form of more detailed information on the methods and means of selecting, training, and managing top soldiers, so that our division's military training can be improved and popularized. ”

An Yi replied solemnly: "If your subordinates obey the order, you will definitely complete the task within three days!" In fact, the subordinates have long had such a plan, after all, the improvement of the overall military quality of our revolutionary army is also one of the wishes of the subordinates, but the subordinates are young and short of breath, people are soft-spoken, and they are worried that they will be self-defeating, so they have been hesitating, and they want to quietly confirm it for a period of time, obtain more data, repeatedly discuss and compare and summarize, and try their best to improve it before submitting it to the division headquarters. ”

Liu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, where could Xu Tingyao on the side still not hear the deep meaning of An Yi's words? He pretended not to know, and smiled approvingly: "Xiao Yi, after this matter is done, we will give you credit, and the division headquarters and all the officers and soldiers will not forget the achievements and contributions of the model battalion." ”

An Yi smiled, quietly exchanged glances with Jiang Dingwen, and immediately put forward a condition: "Chief of Staff, I don't care about any honor and merit, I just hope that when the final drill is over, if the commanders think it's okay, I ask the division headquarters to give the brothers of my model battalion guard company a special care." ”

"Oh? Say, as long as we can do it, we will take care of it. ”

Xu Tingyao exchanged glances with Liu Zhi and Jiang Dingwen, and then said with a smile.

An Yi replied: "The subordinates request that the soldiers who have the ability to enter the guard company of the model battalion be given special treatment of being automatically promoted to corporal, while the officers do not need any care. First, the establishment of the guard company of the model battalion will not exceed 135 people, and these brothers are the best of the more than 1,500 brothers in the battalion, and as long as they enter the guard company for one year of training, they will definitely be able to do the work of a platoon commander of an ordinary infantry company. Second, the tasks of these brothers were fraught with danger and the possibility of death at any time, even in the ordinary course of training, and the subordinates hoped that the brothers who had died tragically would receive higher honors and that their families would have more comfort and pride in remembering their loved ones, rather than for financial reasons.

To tell the truth, as long as the subordinates are willing, they can make money openly at any time, and the commanders should also see that the subordinates have paid no less than 30,000 yuan out of their own pockets for the model battalion, and there are also the latest equipment worth 75,000 yuan, and Mr. Ou Yaoting is entrusting him to purchase from Europe and the United States, including 12 air-cooled heavy machine guns, the caliber and bullets are exactly the same as the existing water-cooled machine guns of our army, this kind of machine gun not only doubles the weight, but also does not need to add water to cool down while firing, it is estimated that all of them will be available by the end of the year. At that time, I would like to ask the division headquarters to transport the equipment from Guangzhou to the brothers for our model battalion. ”

Liu Zhi looked at each other with emotion, and Chen Jiji on the side was also embarrassed, everyone once again saw An Yi's broad mind and far-reaching vision, and also knew what was the other important purpose of An Yi's painstaking planning - no one would have the face to carve up An Yi's troops in the future!

Liu Zhi and others saw Hu Zi and Yin Jinan come to the stage to discuss nervously with An Yi, and when they heard them repeatedly weigh the "seven minutes and 20 seconds" passing line, they realized that the demonstration results of the previous two five-person squads turned out to be an important parameter for their admission by marking the line, and 39 officers and men were successfully admitted when they reached this standard.

In the middle of the battle, the 39 brothers were very excited to hear their names on the admission list, and a few of them had a long roar of excitement, and the other 300 or so failed officers and soldiers were extremely sad, and many of them quietly shed tears. Unexpectedly, Hu Zi strode and suddenly announced: The 74 officers and men who failed to score within eight minutes will get the last chance to enter the guard company this year, and then in the 75-meter moving target shooting competition in the next round, the top 11 officers and men who won the competition will become the last batch of selected candidates.

As soon as the news was announced, there was a burst of cheers, and the 74 officers and men quickly gathered with the joy of dying in a desperate situation, and one by one, the wet men, covered in mud and dirt, began their final efforts under the strong cold wind.

At the end of the eight-round rapid firing of the moving target, eleven lucky officers and men joined the small group on the left, which was also filthy but full of proud smiles, and the three hundred and eleven wet frustrated people on the right could only shiver and lament in place.

The beard climbed on the high platform of the field and shouted silence, and the tiger's eye looked around solemnly and announced: The guard company's training results test drill has begun! Beard coldly gave the order, stared silently at the right front of the high platform for a few seconds, and slowly pulled out his gun and pointed it to the sky.

A scene that everyone present will never forget for a lifetime appeared: seven fierce officers and soldiers wearing camouflage new tactical vests, I don't know when they quietly stood on the starting line of the obstacle race, none of these elites in new field shoes wore hats, every face was painted beyond recognition, and the whole body was covered with the best weapons and equipment, one of them also had a light machine gun on his back, which looked so cold, so secretive, looking from afar, a terrifying and thick murderous aura was coming, The officers and soldiers who had been on the battlefield and killed people all knew what a terrifying aura these seven people exuded.

"Smack-"

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, seven figures rushed out like lightning, starting their journey at an eye-popping speed, one by one agile figures showed great strength and amazing bounce power, the same original obstacles, the same original difficulty, but for these seven people it was as easy as walking on the ground, all the eyes of the audience were chasing their figures, and their hearts almost stopped beating under their strong deterrence.

On the high platform, Liu Zhi and more than ten other chiefs were already standing on the edge of the high platform, staring at the seven rapidly undulating, jumping and churning figures in extreme shock, An Yi introduced in a low and fast manner in the half-step position between Liu Zhi, Xu Tingyao, and Jiang Dingwen, fearing that he would speak too slowly and lose the figure of the warrior of seven people:

Strictly speaking, he is Gu Changfeng's apprentice, from Yangjiazhai, the largest bandit cave in northern Jiangxi, climbing mountains and wading through rivers like walking on flat ground, good at accurate shooting and setting traps; The second is the company commander Xia Jian, he is the operational commander of the detachment, I can't tell it's him, right? Ha ha...... The third is the sniper Li Fuqiang, who was originally a senior soldier of the Fifth Army with seven years of military experience and a hundred battles but was not appreciated, and joined our model battalion in Changsha with Wu Liheng, who returned from injury, his marksmanship is not under me, and his judgment and selection of targets are faster than those of his subordinates; The sixth person with a machine gun on his back is Wu Liheng, a veteran leader who was broken by his beard and leg, this guy has extremely rich battlefield experience, and can skillfully make and repair any kind of light and heavy machine gun in China today. The fourth is Ding Zhicheng, also from the Fifth Army, a native of Song County, Henan, who is good at flying knives and climbing over walls to enter the house, and his subordinates have seen him fly out of his gun and nail the cockroach above the door frame eight meters away, and the depth of the wood is about one inch; The little man who fell at the end is called Chu Xianzhi, a genius found in the group of defeated soldiers we collected from the mountains of northern Hunan Province, this person followed his father at the age of fourteen to mine in the Shuikou mining area of Hunan, and became a tunnel blaster at the age of seventeen, and worked for six years, illiterate but with amazing blasting talent, can modify detonators to make homemade explosives, and skillfully master the amount and power of explosives, the pier of the second bridge we built in the east of Liuyang, the flat blasting is the masterpiece of this person, and the weakness is poor physical fitness.

Together, these seven men formed the sharpest combat detachment of our model battalion, and their subordinates dared to say that if necessary, the seven of them could quietly take out any of our three main regiments. ”

Chen Jiji licked his dry lips: "I believe ......"

"It was reported that it took four minutes and 26 seconds to pass the 500-meter hurdle." Dong Yanzi stood behind An Yi and reported loudly, holding an old-fashioned Swiss pocket watch in his hand.

Liu Zhi exclaimed: "Incredible! The way these people pass through the obstacles is completely different, the cooperation between each other is very tacit, the high wall and the rope net can be thrown directly to the top by two people, jumping down from a height of four meters is very easy, all with unique skills, amazing......"

An Yi reminded loudly: "Look at the small building in the east, the seven people have scattered and blocked the front and back of the small building, and the simulated battle is a surprise attack on the enemy's headquarters......"

"Bang-Bang-"

Gu Changfeng raised his hand three shots, and the three porcelain plate fake heads that appeared in the slowly opened window of the small building shattered in response, just when everyone was dazzled, the little man rolled and dived outside the gate of the small building and quickly leaned back, and the sound of "boom" sounded, the gate was blown to pieces but rarely splashed outward, Xia Jian braved the billowing smoke and entered first, and the machine gunner Wu Liheng then entered, and there was a burst of machine guns and shell guns.

At the same time, an agile figure biting a dagger suddenly appeared on the roof of the north side of the small building, he tied a thin rope around his waist, turned over skillfully, knocked the closed window with a dagger on his head and feet, and the shell gun in his left hand was raised to shatter a head that had just appeared, and then disappeared into the window with a quick swing.

The gunfire stopped, small green flags stretched out from the windows of the upper and lower floors of the small building, only a small yellow flag appeared on the balcony on the southeast side, and the seven surprise warriors walked out of the gate, and ran to the small door on the right side of the battalion headquarters with neat steps in Xia Jian's low command.

"Report: The surprise attack took three minutes and twenty-six seconds, basically achieving the intended purpose, the seven members of the team who participated in the operation made a mistake, and the second assaulter was ruled dead by Staff Officer Yin."

Dong Yanzi's voice woke up a group of generals from their contemplation, Liu Zhi looked up, and there were still hundreds of officers and soldiers who had participated in the selection competition standing in the silent field, looking at the small door where the seven-person detachment disappeared one by one, all forgetting that they were soaking wet and standing in the cold wind......
