Chapter 0056: The 7th Company, the Steel 7th Company!

For those who join midway, the Seventh Company is actually quite unfriendly—because when you're at the starting line, others are already halfway there.

This was Xu Sanduo's first day of training after joining the Seventh Company.

Training subject: Squad-level fire support advance.

For soldiers who have been training for a long time, this subject is not difficult. They just need to be careful not to block the line of sight and firing field of the machine gunner and the marksman. After many days of practice, they know how to proceed.

Even though Wu Liuyi had given Xu Sanduo specific instructions before training, he would still occasionally run into the machine gunner's gun or the two marksmen's guns when moving around.

"Xu Sanduo, you're not asking for death like this! There's such a wide road, why do you keep waving your gun at my muzzle? Do you want me to be accused of shooting one of my own men?" The machine gunner finally couldn't help but curse. Even though there was a lot of distance between him and the gun, when he simulated firing, this guy would keep waving his gun at the muzzle, making it hard to fire!

Xu Sanduo lowered his head and remained silent.

"Xu Sanduo, come here!" Shi Jin beckoned Xu Sanduo over. Xu Sanduo walked over dejectedly and was assigned by Shi Jin to stand in front of the machine gunner to understand the training situation from the machine gunner's perspective.

The machine gunner and his deputy gave Xu Sanduo a disgruntled look, then ignored his presence.

Training is underway again.

Xu Sanduo secretly observed the whole class.

Everything in the Third Platoon was so new, so cruel. Just like the instructor said, the Seventh Company was a sharp knife—a sharp knife against the enemy, a razor for training, and a boning knife for themselves. And I, unprepared, faced the boning knife.

During basic training, Zheng Yingqi had plenty of time to push Xu Sanduo to extra training and push him to his limits. But in the Third Platoon of the Seventh Company, as a marksman, he had to spend more time improving himself. He could only observe Xu Sanduo silently—he knew that Xu Sanduo would eventually overcome this hurdle and integrate into the Third Platoon.

But Xu Sanduo's behavior sometimes made Zheng Yingqi feel a sense of despair—without experiencing it firsthand, it's really hard to understand why people can be so stupid.

After observing the machine gunner's firing range for a round of training, Xu Sanduo should have a general understanding of the machine gun's firing range, right? Most people would definitely avoid the machine gunner's firing range to avoid being "accidentally killed," but during the third round of training, Xu Sanduo would still move closer to the muzzle of the gun, as if he were someone who had no character if he didn't get killed.

"Damn it, I really want to shoot him!" the machine gunner said angrily.

Shi Jin patted the machine gunner on the shoulder: "Be patient, give him some time!"

Faced with the squad leader's request, the machine gunner could only continue to suppress his anger.

Zheng Yingqi watched this scene and smiled bitterly to himself. Xu Sanduo was isolated partly because of his own stupidity, and partly because of Squad Leader Shi—he cared too much about Xu Sanduo and treated him too well, so well that the soldiers in the squad had developed a grudge.

……

On the third day after Xu Sanduo joined the 7th Company, he participated in mechanized human-vehicle coordination training.

This was also his first time boarding the 207 infantry fighting vehicle.

The enormous steel behemoth in front of him filled Xu Sanduo with boundless pride, but the next second he fell into hell. He foolishly prolonged the whole class's time getting on the vehicle, and after boarding, he was at a loss inside. After finally finding a seat, the armored vehicle shook a few times, and he started vomiting, vomiting violently.

Inside the cramped vehicle, the stench was overwhelming. The soldiers looked at each other blankly. Cheng Yongjun said in a daze, "Armored soldiers who get carsick?"

"I...feel like throwing up too." Gan Xiaoning's face was yellowish; he also found the smell unbearable.

Wu Liuyi remained silent with a dark expression, Shi Jin wanted to speak but couldn't, and Bai Tiejun forced a smile: "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a while."

"I...I'm sorry...Ugh..." Xu Sanduo tried to apologize stupidly, then vomited again. This time he vomited on Zheng Yingqi. His stomach, which had been empty, contributed a lot of stomach acid. The sour and smelly odor instantly overwhelmed Zheng Yingqi's sense of smell.

"Yingqi...I..." Xu Sanduo stared blankly at Zheng Yingqi. Zheng Yingqi seemed oblivious, waving his hand and saying, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that we need to get used to the harsh environment—Xiao Ning, don't cover your nose. I think the two of us need to get used to the harsh environment the most."

"I don't have masochistic tendencies!" Gan Xiaoning said, forcing herself to stay calm.

"If we don't get used to it, our performance today will happen all the time!" Zheng Yingqi said cryptically.

At the time, no one understood, but when the shooting results came out, they understood—the Third Platoon, which had always been far ahead, had today's shooting results, for the first time ever, ranked last among the combat units of the 7th Company.

After Gao Cheng went through 207, he learned why the third squad was at the bottom. He left without saying a word, his face dark. The soldiers of the third squad seemed to have committed an unforgivable crime and were too ashamed to face anyone.

……

That evening, Zheng Yingqi was practicing his shooting stance with a gun, while Xu Sanduo stood to the side, constantly drilling into a wooden hoop—he was practicing getting into a vehicle.

At the time, Bai Tiejun couldn't overcome his fear of closing the door, terrified that the heavy steel door, weighing dozens of kilograms, would crush his fingers with its immense kinetic energy. Zheng Yingqi then created this exercise device for Bai Tiejun to practice on. And today, Bai Tiejun solemnly passed this precious tool on to Xu Sanduo:

"Xu Sanduo, this is my greatest hero. You must treat it well. When you grow into a qualified armored soldier, you will thank it. You must cherish it, care for it, and love it like you would your wife..."

Before he could finish his long, rambling speech, which was as smelly and tedious as an old woman's foot binding cloth, Zheng Yingqi snatched the wooden ring away and tossed it to Xu Sanduo: "Come with me."

And that's how this extra training session came about.

Xu Sanduo crawled through the wooden hoop, pretending to repeatedly climb on and off the vehicle. After crawling back and forth dozens of times, Xu Sanduo stopped to rest, panting heavily. Looking at Zheng Yingqi, who stood there like a clay statue, he stammered:

"Yingqi...I...Am I dragging everyone down again?"

Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but recall Xu Sanduo's quote:

"I made a mistake."

"I did not do it on purpose."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong again."

"I...I'm terrible..."

Remembering what this guy often said, Zheng Yingqi smiled. "Isn't it obvious?"

Xu Sanduo was speechless. He knew, of course, that he was holding everyone back, but he wanted to hear Zheng Yingqi comfort him.

"I told you before, we're soldiers now, protectors, not those being protected, so we can't cry, remember?"

Xu Sanduo nodded quickly; of course he remembered.

"And now, we're not just protectors, we're soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company. I know you don't understand what the Steel Seventh Company is, but I know you will in the future. But right now, what you need to do is become stronger—you understand? The Steel Seventh Company doesn't believe in tears, only in the sacrifices and results of blood and sweat. And you, don't expect anyone here to pity you, because we don't need pity here. Our pity is only for those we protect, not for ourselves!" Zheng Yingqi remained motionless as he spoke.

"I know you want people to accept you, but what makes you worthy of their acceptance?"

Xu Sanduo, he just wanted to fit into this environment; he didn't think about anything else!

"You know what? I was accepted by the Third Platoon because on my first day in the company, I ran five kilometers in full gear and my time was the same as the veterans, so I was accepted. Bai Tiejun was accepted by the Third Platoon because even though he was the last in the platoon, he was still practicing like crazy. Although he is still trailing behind the platoon, he is constantly improving."

If you want to be accepted, you need to have your own confidence. Tell me, where does your confidence come from?

Xu Sanduo was speechless.

"So, you need to look for the reasons within yourself. Don't always expect others to be kind to you. This is the Steel Seventh Company, a place teeming with strong individuals. If you can't become strong, don't expect the Seventh Company to accept you!"

Zheng Yingqi's words left Xu Sanduo pondering for a long time.
