Chapter 291: Fight for the country and challenge the world! !
The selection competition brings together the best soldiers in the entire army. Each competition item is very difficult, and it is a huge challenge even for the top soldiers.
If ordinary company soldiers were to come instead, they might not even be able to pass a single round of the competition.
Highly difficult and challenging projects are presented one after another.
The game went on day by day...
In this fierce competition with sweat pouring down on the air, the contestants tried their best to fight for the best results, and the competition selection also came to its final end.
All ten teams brought out their best skills and displayed their strongest strength.
But there is only one spot!
Only the winners can stay, and the losers can only be eliminated.
The 215th Steel Battalion, representing the Capital Military Region, ultimately won with a total score of 50 points, more than points higher than the second place, crushing the other nine teams and earning the precious spot to compete for the country.
The strength of Chen Jun's team of eight was so strong that they were simply at the level of crushing the other teams. The players from other teams lost convincingly.
Apart from envy, all I have left is blessings.
After all, we are competitors internally, but once we go abroad, we are family.
No matter how fierce the competition is in the selection, once you go abroad, you represent the entire Chinese army, and also represent all those who have been eliminated.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
If Chen Jun and others can win glory for the country, then they will also be honored. If they embarrass themselves abroad, then they will also be embarrassed.
Naturally, everyone eagerly hopes that Chen Jun and his team can win the championship.
When the news that the 7th Steel Battalion had obtained a place in the competition was passed on to the 702nd Regiment through the military region, everyone who had been waiting eagerly was overjoyed.
"The soldiers from our regiment's special operations platoon actually defeated the top soldiers from special operations forces across the country? This is too surprising. I thought I would be very satisfied if I could get into the top five. I didn't expect this. I really didn't expect this."
Political Commissar Zhou Yunhai was like seeing a ghost. If the document written in black and white had not already arrived at the regiment, he would not have dared to believe that this was actually true.
The special operations platoon wiped out all the special operations battalions in the entire army, which sounds really weird.
"They are worthy of being the good men of our 702nd Regiment. This time they really brought honor to our group. No matter how their performance abroad is, when they return to the group, I will definitely toast them a few glasses in person."
Team leader Wang Qingrui's face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and pride was oozing from every pore of his body.
He decided proudly in his heart that next time he went to a meeting in the division, he would have to explain this matter in detail to the other regiment leaders.
You have such an awesome soldier in your regiment. If you don't show off now, when will you show off?
"It's still Old Chen Meng. I can only be a bully in the regiment, but he is incredible. He is a bully in the whole army, haha."
Gao Cheng was lying at home making a lot of money, and he was grinning from ear to ear.
If Chen Jun and others can get the top three places when they go abroad to participate in competitions, then the word "agent" in front of Gao Cheng will be legitimately cancelled.
The leaders of the 702nd Regiment were all smiling from ear to ear, and the soldiers below were also extremely excited.
Especially the soldiers of the Special Operations Platoon of the 7th Steel Battalion, they felt the strongest sense of pride in their hearts. When they went out and enjoyed the awe-inspiring looks from other soldiers, they felt more and more that their original decision was wise.
If he had not accepted Chen Jun's recruitment and was eliminated by Team A, he would have had to return to his old unit.
Then they will not only lose their current honor, but will also be labeled as losers and become the object of ridicule in their old unit.
You will also lose the space for advancement, and your future military career will be obscure.
Now that he has been recruited to the 7th Steel Battalion, not only has his personal strength reached an unprecedented level under Chen Jun's various unique and advanced training methods.
Moreover, in such an honorable team, he has repeatedly performed well and achieved his life dream.
The soldiers of the special operations platoon can foresee...
As long as they continue to maintain a progressive attitude, the future of each of them will be full of sunshine, and they will move towards the peak of their lives step by step.
When the special operations platoon becomes a special operations company or a special operations battalion, they will inevitably grow into backbone officers.
Become the future platoon leader, company commander, and battalion commander.
……
The old troops were proud of the achievements of Chen Jun and others. The morale of the entire 702nd Regiment was unprecedentedly high, and they were looking forward to the next world war even more.
I hope Chen Jun and others can represent China and shine in the world arena.
If I could win the world championship back...
No one dared to think about it.
I get so excited just thinking about it.
Chen Jun and his team, who successfully obtained the precious places, were very satisfied with the result, and their faces were flushed with excitement.
If it wasn't for maintaining military appearance and discipline, he would definitely have shouted a few times on the spot.
As the team leader, Chen Jun was quite straightforward. He brought the other seven people to the guesthouse that night and ordered a big meal to reward everyone.
Thank you all for your hard work during this period, and I encourage you all to keep up the good work.
……
According to the requirements of the event organizer, each country can send eight official players and two candidate players.
To prevent the event from happening due to irreversible accidents which may result in the inability to carry out the competition as scheduled.
On the second day after it was announced that the Capital Military Region team had won a place to represent China in the Ireland Assault International Special Forces Competition, two more candidate team members were announced.
Ran Feng and Chen Xiaopan from the Southwest Military Region became candidate team members due to their outstanding performance.
Chen Jun had long guessed that this special forces event would be held. As a veteran reconnaissance unit, the Langya Special Operations Brigade would definitely send experts to participate.
During this period, I also went to observe the Southwest Military Region team, but unfortunately I did not see Dog Head Lao Gao and Gray Wolf Motor.
Chen Jun was really looking forward to seeing these two key figures of the special forces here, but unfortunately their ages seemed to be above the standard.
In the end, only two familiar faces were found: the coyote Ran Feng and the heavenly wolf Xiao Pan.
The two of them are still very strong and showed great strength in the competition, but in a competition with eight people, they simply couldn't hold up.
Even though the two of them tried their best, they only managed to get second place with the team in the end.
Fortunately, with the second place result, the two of them were unanimously recognized by their superiors and successfully obtained the precious substitute spot.
"If Xiaozhuang and Ostrich were here, they might be able to cause us some trouble. Unfortunately, there are only two of them. They are doomed to be stepping stones and supporting roles for our Seventh Steel Battalion."
Chen Jun felt a little regretful. Being able to compete with a master made him even more excited.
Unfortunately, it is only the second half of 2000, Xiaozhuang cannot join the army until , and the Lone Wolf Team B will not appear until after .
By the time the Lone Wolf B team reappears, the 7th Steel Battalion will probably have become the 7th Steel Regiment. The two sides are no longer on the same level!
The places for the international special forces competition have been officially confirmed, and the two lists of reserve personnel have also been finalized. The next step is to prepare for going abroad.
The identity of a soldier is extremely special and sensitive, and entering another country without consent is tantamount to invasion.
So after the list is confirmed, not only do you need to get your passport and visa processed, but you also need to send the list to the organizer for confirmation.
Only after completing all the formalities can Chen Jun and his team represent China in the expedition.
Time flies and it is October.
Autumn is here, the leaves turn yellow and the weather becomes cooler.
The hearts of the special forces soldiers who represented China in the battle became increasingly passionate.
With the national level handling the formalities, the entire process was given the green light and all the formalities were completed in less than a week.
Chen Jun and his entourage, dressed in brand new military uniforms, boarded the international flight in high spirits, led by a delegation headed by Senior Colonel Li Dayong.
When a group of people in military uniforms appeared on an international flight, it was indeed very eye-catching.
Every passenger on the flight cast curious glances at Chen Jun and others, and some even whispered to each other.
It is rare for soldiers to go abroad, but it is not the only one. Many people go abroad to study on government scholarships.
However, these soldiers who are sent abroad to study need to change into casual clothes when taking the plane, so their identities are relatively concealed.
People like Chen Jun who travel in military uniforms but take civilian flights are extremely rare.
How could it not be surprising to encounter it!
Chengcai, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi and others were also very excited when they got on the plane.
Although I have been on military planes and helicopters, this is my first time on an international flight, not to mention that I am representing the country this time.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand this kind of excitement.
However, there were many passengers on the international flight, and Chengcai and his group, who were dressed in military uniforms, needed to maintain a good image as a soldier.
They had to suppress their inner excitement and took out the information about the special forces competition that their superiors had distributed to them before they left and started reading it.
Prepare for the next competition by studying the information of previous competitions.
Erna Assault International Special Forces Competition, in which Erna is the transliteration of the English word "infiltration and reconnaissance", and its full name is Infiltration and Reconnaissance Assault International Special Forces Competition.
The competition began five years ago in 1994 and was initially hosted by the Estonian National Guard.
Later, the event was jointly organized by the Estonian Ministry of Defense, the Defense Forces Command and other institutions, and foreign special forces were invited to compete and exchange techniques.
It is an international military competition!
Prior to this, only European and American countries were invited to participate. This is the first time that China has participated in this competition, and it is also the first participating team from all of Asia.
The way of playing is also very special.
Different from ordinary competitions where each event is competed one by one, the one who wins the most first places in individual events will become the final champion.
The Erna assault was based on actual combat and simulated special operations on the battlefield.
simply put.
It is a confrontational exercise that simulates a special operations team, starting from a beach landing, conducting long-distance, multi-subject reconnaissance operations in the "enemy-occupied area".
The competition aims to test whether the participating teams from various countries can skillfully use the equipment in their hands, as well as their ability to coordinate operations and complete a series of tasks assigned by their superiors under complex terrain and excessive physical exertion.
It not only tests the will, physical fitness, strength and skills of special forces from various countries, but also tests their strategy and tactics.
It is a comprehensive contest of special forces on the battlefield!
It can be said that this is a confrontation that is completely equivalent to actual combat except that no one is killed. It is also a real-life battle that demonstrates the comprehensive combat capabilities of special forces from various countries, including physique, will, and wisdom.
Precisely because this competition is extremely difficult, it exceeds the physical limits of the special forces.
The contestants have to carry a weight of 35-40 kilograms, and complete 4 difficult technical courses on a long-distance march for four days and three nights in the primeval forests of eastern Estonia, which is one of the harshest and most complex combat environments in the world, with no supplies, and with a blockade in front and pursuers behind.
In every previous competition, the total number of the imaginary enemy participating in the pursuit and interception - the Estonian Defense Force - was as high as one thousand people.
It is equivalent to having an entire regiment of regular troops chasing and intercepting just over a hundred people.
A few people against a thousand people.
You can imagine how difficult it is to survive.
Not to mention the competition venue, which is mainly located in the uninhabited primeval forest area in the southeast of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
The competition area covers more than 2400 square kilometers, with 90% of it being uninhabited virgin forest.
There are layers of pine branches and rotten leaves in the forest. Stepping on some places is like stepping into snowflakes, and your entire foot will sink into them.
There were also all kinds of dead branches and rotten wood scattered all over the place, and slippery moss all over the ground.
There is basically no way to go, so you can only make your own way.
Not to mention that 50% of this area is swampland, and there is quicksand under some of the swamps. If you accidentally fall into it, it will be too late even if you give up and request emergency rescue.
Therefore, the special forces who come to participate in the competition may die during the competition.
Also.
Estonia has a large temperature difference between day and night and a changeable climate. Now that it is autumn, the temperature has already dropped.
The temperature in the primeval forest is even lower at night, basically below zero degrees.
This is in line with the competition rules, which test the special forces' endurance and perseverance. They have no time to sleep for four days and three nights and are assigned tasks throughout the whole process.
The low temperature environment and the inability to rest and recover greatly increased the difficulty and challenge of the competition.
According to the documents that Chen Jun had read, in every previous Alna Assault Competition, several teams were defeated by the difficulty and were forced to give up for fear of dying during the competition.
European troops have the gene of surrender in their bones, so it is normal that they don't want to lose their lives in a competition.
Honor must be less important to them than life.
Chinese soldiers are the most unique in the world. They are the only ones in the world who regard honor as more important than life. This is engraved in the bones of Chinese soldiers.
From the moment they got the quota to compete for the country, every participating team member, including Chen Jun, had only one thought in their mind -
Bring glory to the country!!
Even if it means giving your life for it, you won't hesitate.
However, neither the team leader Chen Jun nor the team members Chengcai, Wu Zhe and others were afraid of the threat of death in the harsh environment.
But thinking about the harsh competition environment, where one could suffer a disastrous defeat if not careful, everyone couldn't help but feel the pressure doubled.
Chen Jun gritted his teeth secretly——
In this journey, you either win or die, there is no third way.
