Chapter 205 The 100km selection assessment begins!

Chapter 205 The 100km selection assessment begins!
Tielu went to find Chen Jun to chat, but unfortunately Chen Jun didn't come at all.

A company from the engineering battalion has been sent to the 7th Steel Company to begin building a material storage warehouse. These days are the busiest time for the 7th Company.

As the deputy company commander in charge of logistics, Chen Jun had no time to go to the training ground to watch the test.

Moreover, he will be away for a few months to recruit talents for the selection and training of Team A. Before officially leaving, Chen Jun still has to arrange the main things, so time is even more precious in his hands.

The railway was unable to find Chen Jun at the drill ground, and there was no way for them to make a special trip to the 7th Steel Company.

He could only let it go with regret and look forward to meeting again.

As the captain of Brigade A and the main person in charge of this recruitment, Railway really doesn't have much free time now, as he has a lot of things to do.

The units where some talented people work are very difficult to deal with, so he has to go and talk to them one by one in person.

For example, Wu Zhe from the Navy, Tuo Yonggang from the Air Force, etc.

The talents are scattered across the sea, land and air, and it takes time to go to each place. If dozens of soldiers are piled up, it will be no small project.

If he hadn't been so fond of Chen Jun, he would have thought that Chen Jun would lead the team to the martial arts arena and wanted to take the opportunity to have a private chat with Chen Jun.

The railway, on which time is precious, will not come today at all.

Unfortunately, there were too many things going on in the 7th Steel Company recently, so the idea of ​​having a private chat with Chen Jun fell through. Tielu could only leave with this regret.

Yuan Lang didn't pay much attention and quickly started the basic test of the contestants.

With the guidance of people sent by the 702nd Regiment Headquarters, Yuan Lang and other people from Team A only needed to supervise, and each project was carried out in an orderly manner.

The basic test is actually a physical fitness test, which checks the contestants' most basic physical fitness.

All inspection items are common subjects.

Such as sit-ups, push-ups, horizontal bar, three-kilometer sprint, five-kilometer cross-country, 400-meter obstacle course, 150-meter rifle target shooting, etc.

More than 200 contestants were divided into 15 groups, and the test subjects were shuffled and conducted in a staggered manner.

One group of sit-ups, two groups of push-ups, three groups of horizontal bar tests... After each group is completed, it will switch with another group, maintaining a high-tempo test density and not letting any group stop.

Under the fast-paced testing, the progress is very fast.

It is estimated that the testing of more than 200 contestants will only take one day in total.

There was almost no special rest in the middle. Such a fast-paced and high-intensity test was a great test of the contestants' personal endurance and physical fitness.

Fortunately, the players who were selected are the best from each company.

No matter how fast the test pace is, we can keep up.

but.

There is a big gap in performance between the players.

Among them, Wu Liuyi, who only admired Chen Jun in terms of strength in his life, and only respected Company Commander Gao Cheng and Squad Leader Shi Jin, and who was "strong all his life" and never admitted defeat, performed brilliantly in the test.

Adhering to the principle that "people who come out of the 7th Steel Company must be top students no matter where they go, and must win many first places."

In addition to the tasks assigned by Chen Jun, they must show their strength clearly. They must not resort to mediocrity, but must make themselves dazzling enough.

Wu Liuyi, whose body had been well-conditioned by Chen Jun, almost killed people indiscriminately in this test.

Push-ups, sit-ups, machine gun shooting, three-kilometer sprint, five-kilometer cross-country, four-hundred-meter obstacle course...

Wu Liuyi was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. With his absolute leading strength, he took the first place in all the test items.

He took more than ten first places in one go!

Yuan Lang originally didn't have much impression of Wu Liuyi. He only knew that he was very fierce in the mid-year competition two years ago, and his result was only slightly worse than Chen Jun.

These are just data on paper, and ultimately they are not that shocking.

But after witnessing this basic test with his own eyes, Wu Liuyi swept the entire field with his absolute strength, which really made Yuan Lang's eyes shine.

A soldier with such comprehensive strength can almost be said to be a template for special forces.

Ordinary people need to go through a lot of hard training to become an excellent special forces soldier, but the template-level Wu Liuyi only needs a little teaching and learn the corresponding special warfare techniques to become an ace-level special forces soldier.

Such a good special forces candidate.

How could Yuan Lang not drool with envy?

The other soldiers who took part in the test were basically all very familiar with Wu Liuyi. They were convinced and not at all unhappy when they were swept away by Wu Liuyi.

In addition to Wu Liuyi, the shining new star, who made Yuan Lang's eyes light up.

In terms of shooting, except for light machine guns, they took first place in almost all other subjects. The data of various physical fitness tests were also at excellent standards.

Yuan Lang also greatly appreciated it!
"He's a natural born sharpshooter. With proper training, he will definitely become an ace sniper." Yuan Lang's evaluation of Chengcai is already very high.

Besides.

Battelle, who has conspicuous muscular build, only maintains the excellent level in other aspects, but he is almost the "dominant player" in various strength tests.

In particular, the grenade was thrown 107 meters, causing an uproar in the audience.

Yuan Lang couldn't help but marvel at it!
There is also Xu Sanduo, who is excellent in all aspects, especially his incredible personal endurance and photographic memory, which also makes Yuan Lang's eyes light up.

I did more than a hundred deadlifts on the horizontal bar and easily got first place.

He could even recite basic military theories by heart. He had memorized almost half of the books in the library of the 7th Steel Company, from code A to M.

Such an exaggerated memory ability.

It's rare indeed!
Except for push-ups and sit-ups, all other scores are counted as valid within the time limit.

Yuan Lang had absolute reason to believe that with Xu Sanduo's abnormal endurance and physical fitness, Wu Liuyi's two first places in individual events would be snatched away.

And the exaggerations are not limited to these.

Yuan Lang also discovered that these outstanding soldiers were all from the 7th Steel Company.

Thinking of the talented officer Chen Jun in front of him, who was both civil and military, Yuan Lang had to admit that he was impressive. It was a pity that he was too outstanding to be wanted.

Almost all the outstanding players who emerged later came from the 7th Steel Company.

Yuan Lang couldn't help but sigh:
"This 7th Steel Company is really full of hidden talents. No wonder Qi Huan couldn't gain any advantage in the training ground and was even beaten by the 7th Steel Company."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Steel Company 7.

After never abandoning or giving up, this became Yuan Lang’s second impression of the 7th Steel Company.

The basic test lasted until after seven in the evening. Because there was a selection assessment right after it, Yuan Lang did not return to Team A.

Instead, he took his people to stay in the group guesthouse and conducted the screening that evening.

From the more than 200 soldiers who took part in the test, nearly 100 candidates who met the selection and assessment criteria were selected and a list was made for the 702nd Regiment.

The 702nd Regiment will notify the selected contestants to participate in the formal selection and assessment two days later.

Early the next morning.

The regiment headquarters then distributed the list of selected personnel to the corresponding companies.

As the signature unit of the 702nd Regiment, the 7th Steel Company had the largest number of candidates selected, with a total of twelve people, accounting for nearly one-eighth.

Gao Cheng heard that more than ten people were selected, and his eyes turned red with anxiety when he received the list.

Roll up your sleeves and get ready to join the group.

Fortunately, Chen Jun stopped him in time and explained it by inferring or guessing.

Upon learning that Battalion A was in the 702nd Regiment this time, they would only take three people away, and Chen Jun affirmatively stated that if anyone from the 702nd Regiment was taken away, he would find a way to get them back to the 7th Steel Company.

Gao Cheng knew that Chen Jun had signed an agreement with Yuan Lang and that he would soon go to Team A to work as an assistant coach for a few months. He also believed that Chen Jun would do what he said.

So there was no further commotion over this matter.

Time quickly came to two days later.

All the contestants selected for the audition assessment gathered at the No. 1 training ground assembly point of the 702nd Regiment under the leadership of their respective company officers.

In order to assist in this audition, the division reconnaissance battalion, which received the order, also sent a reconnaissance company.

There were more than a hundred people and more than twenty military vehicles, and the scene looked very intimidating.

The leader of the team is an old acquaintance. Because the Sixth Company received some compensation after being disbanded, it was a blessing in disguise. He replaced Gao Cheng in the original play and became Wei Tianlei, the deputy battalion commander of the division reconnaissance battalion.

Gao Cheng and Chen Jun brought the contestants over and immediately saw Wei Tianlei arranging the work.

"Hey, Lao Liu, you're doing pretty well. These two cents really look like the real deal. Why did you come here today?"

Gao Cheng was quite happy to see an acquaintance and ran over to tease him.

He completely forgot that he was already the deputy battalion commander.

Wei Tianlei, who was one grade higher than Gao Cheng, was not unhappy because of Gao Cheng's disrespect for his elders. He was even pleased that Gao Cheng remembered his old friend.

He said happily: "Seventh brother, please stop making fun of me. Everyone knows that you, Gao Cheng, are most likely the deputy commander of the combined battalion.

The combined battalion is very popular nowadays, and your deputy battalion commander is much more powerful than me, so don't laugh at me."

Wei Tianlei responded modestly, and then continued to answer the main question: "Look, you are conducting an exercise here, and the division asked me to come here to do hard labor, helping the guy in front, and be responsible for catching chickens."

As Wei Tianlei spoke, he pointed a finger at Yuan Lang who was standing with his back to him not far away.

The emotions in his eyes are quite complicated!

There is envy, a little bit of dissatisfaction, and more of helplessness.

Yuan Lang's expression when he is outside always makes him look arrogant, with obvious arrogance, which makes it difficult for people to like him.

At the same time, his aura is very strong, giving people a feeling that he is not easy to mess with, which makes people have to be afraid of him.

"So you're here to help, that's a good thing."

Gao Cheng took a step forward and said in a low voice, "We are all family. You have to do us a favor and be ruthless to the players of our Steel Seventh Company. It would be best if we could eliminate them all."

"Hahaha, you..."

Wei Tianlei understood Gao Cheng's meaning in an instant, pointed his finger and laughed.

Gao Cheng likes to snatch outstanding top soldiers, and he has a very strong personality. He is well-known for this in the entire 702nd Regiment.

He always wants to snatch soldiers from other companies, so how could he be willing to hand over soldiers from his own company?

"Give me a word, and tell me if you can do it."

Gao Cheng was too lazy to talk to Wei Tianlei, he just wanted to hear a direct answer. They were all old acquaintances, so there was no need to talk any more nonsense.

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best. That's all."

After all, he and Gao Cheng have been colleagues for many years, and he didn't want too many people in his old unit to be poached, so Wei Tianlei readily agreed.

"Then it's settled. It's up to you, ah."

Gao Cheng showed a satisfied smile, and he reached a consensus with Wei Tianleida on this.

The soldiers from the companies ahead were already in place. After an officer in charge had compiled the team report, Yuan Lang, holding his helmet in his crease, slowly walked to the front of the team.

With his signature smirk on his face, he started with his signature reversal routine.

"Why are you all so serious? Relax, I'm not going to eat you. It's going to be very tiring, so don't use up your energy now."

Yuan Lang's words sounded very concerned, but the next second he said something disturbing with a smiling face.

"Today I am the host and you are the guests. I have to treat guests well, so I have prepared a feast for you.

It’s a two-day journey within a radius of 100 kilometers. You can choose any weapons within the provided range and you can choose any food you want.

Anyway, each person can only take one portion, so you won’t be able to choose the best one.

You are all experts from your respective companies. It is just a wilderness survival mission. Wild game and vegetables are everywhere. It must be a piece of cake for you."

Yuan Lang had a smile on his face and spoke in a very relaxed manner.

But we are not fools.

Only one food supply is provided, and the diameter is 100 kilometers in two days, which means an average of 50 kilometers per day.

Putting this information together, none of the contestants could laugh.

Walking fifty kilometers a day with food and water is already a very difficult task, let alone walking a hundred kilometers continuously without food and water.

This is no small matter; this is a challenge.

However, this was not the most difficult part. The assessment rules that Yuan Lang mentioned next made all the contestants present secretly feel that something was wrong.

“The assessment requires that you cross a hundred kilometers, penetrate deep into the enemy’s main position, and complete the map assignment.

By the way, I suggest that your group act quickly, because there will be a reinforced company of troops who will chase and intercept you on the way and try to eliminate you.

Aren’t you all great? Then show me how great you are.”

Yuan Lang raised his right wrist, looked at the time on his watch and said, "It is eight o'clock in the morning now. I will wait for you at the destination until this time the day after tomorrow.

Let me state in advance that I only drive one car and it only has three seats.

The car will leave when it is full. I will only take away those who are on the car, and all the remaining contestants will be eliminated.

If no one can arrive by the time, it means that none of you are qualified, and I will not wait for you for even one more minute."

After listening to the rules and final requirements, the contestants suddenly felt as if they were being crushed by a mountain.

My breathing became heavy!

They had to run a hundred kilometers in two days without food or water, and were surrounded and blocked by a reinforced company of soldiers throughout the journey, but in the end there were only three places left.

This elimination rate is not just generally high, it is so high that it is terrifying.

The only person who could still laugh in the whole audience was Xu Sanduo, who had no goals at all and just did whatever he was told to do.

He never thought about the difficulty of the assessment.

Xu Sanduo’s thoughts were very simple. He just felt that being able to participate in the competition with so many people must be a very meaningful thing.

As long as he is doing something meaningful, he is happy.

He never considers winning or losing, or any of the benefits. His simple mind is incapable of considering that.

Yuan Lang saw Xu Sanduo, the only one grinning. He had no idea what this idiot was grinning about, and his impression of Xu Sanduo deepened.

Then the final announcement began.

“For the next forty-eight hours, you and I will be enemies. The enemy will not tell you the longitude and latitude, let alone your location.

You have to find the destination by yourselves, I can only provide you with a few references.

To the southeast, there is a water bubble on the edge of the grassland, next to it is a mountain, and over the mountain is a pine forest. The car is right next to the forest. "

After Yuan Lang announced the rules and matters of the selection, the next to appear was his number one younger brother Qi Huan.

He gave each contestant a smoke stick and told them that if they encountered danger or could not hold on any longer, they could pull the smoke stick and a car would take them back to the camp. The price would be that they would be considered to have forfeited and be eliminated.

Afterwards, each person was given a pack of field rations as the only food supply for two days.

Captain Wang had been watching from the side. His brows were furrowed as he watched the whole process, and his face was full of dissatisfaction, which almost ignited an explosion.

In his opinion, this was not a selection at all, but simply torturing his soldiers.

As a leader of the older generation, Captain Wang truly treated every soldier as his son. As a father, how could he bear to watch his son being tortured?

On the contrary, Gao Cheng, who was standing at the back, smiled after hearing the rules.

He doesn't care about the crappy A Brigade, and he looks down on the special forces. Gao Cheng hopes that all the contestants of the 702nd Regiment will be eliminated.

The greater the difficulty, the higher the elimination rate, which Gao Cheng thinks is actually a good thing.

Of course I am in a good mood!
Chen Jun, who knew the original plot, saw this familiar scene reappear and felt complicated as everyone had undergone tremendous changes.

I couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s still the same group of people, but they’ve all changed.

Chengcai, who no longer has the obsession of being a special forces soldier; Wu Liuyi, who has the ability but only wants to prove himself; Gan Xiaoning, Bai Tiejun and Bater, who have an absolute sense of belonging to the 7th Steel Company but are just curious and want to have fun; Xu Sanduo, who has no deep connection with Yuan Lang...

A familiar selection process, familiar people, but a completely different mindset.

I am really curious about what kind of sparks will be created when such a new group of people join this familiar audition venue. "
