Chapter 0101: Desperate Soldiers
The examiners attacked with all their might, while the division's reconnaissance battalion defended their honor with all their might. Meanwhile, in another corner, Zheng Yingqi, who had finished drawing, was helping Wu Liuyi walk with difficulty, his steps unsteady.
On the hillside, Wang Hui stared blankly at the battlefield, unable to catch his breath—he could see Zheng Yingqi retreating, he could see the opportunity to join the Old A team right in front of him, but in that instant, a hissing sound made all of that vanish.
Damn, I got shot!
They're eliminated!
When Ma Xiaoshuai saw Wang Hui shot, he acted as if Wang Hui were dead. He went berserk and fired downwards, wanting to avenge Wang Hui, but Xu Sanduo grabbed him and pulled him back.
"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?!"
This was unusually stern from Xu San.
Ma Xiaoshuai said, almost in tears, "They...they killed him!"
Wang Hui was startled awake by Ma Xiaoshuai's sobbing voice. He forced himself to say, "In just this short while, I single-handedly took down at least three bastards from the reconnaissance battalion. I hit the jackpot! Stop pretending to be a girl and hurry up and rejoin our leader, let's charge into the oak forest!"
"Let's go!" Xu Sanduo dragged Ma Xiaoshuai away, but Ma Xiaoshuai shouted, "Brother! I'll avenge you!"
Watching the two figures leave, Wang Hui angrily threw his gun to the ground and slammed his helmet down, yelling, "Old A, I'll fucking kill you! Division Reconnaissance Battalion, I'll @#¥%……&*!"
Down the hillside, Xu Sanduo and Ma Xiaoshuai met up with Zheng Yingqi and the other two. Seeing Zheng Yingqi supporting Liu Yi, Xu Sanduo asked in alarm, "Liu Yi, what happened to you?"
"You sprained your ankle—Xu Sanduo, can't you calm down?" Wu Liuyi retorted irritably.
"Shut up, all of you!" Zheng Yingqi snapped, then pulled a map from his pocket and tossed it to Cheng Cai. Cheng Cai hurriedly caught the map, and Zheng Yingqi said, "Cheng Cai, Ma Xiaoshuai, you two take the map and rush in. Tell Gou Ri's Old A that we worked together to complete this. Xu Sanduo and I will bring Wu Liuyi along!"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoshuai's mouth dropped open, and Cheng Cai asked with a stern face, "Why?"
Zheng Yingqi's arrangement stung Cheng Cai's sensitive and fragile nerves.
"Among me and Xu Sanduo, there's definitely one of them who's already chosen! Understand? When we all step in together, they'll have to make a choice with their noses in their mouths. The best choice is for all three of us to accept them, understand?" Zheng Yingqi shouted.
This is a question that Zheng Yingqi figured out during the assessment. However, he was more inclined to support himself, but he also understood that Xu Sanduo was also a soldier that Yuan Lang valued. So he dug a pit. If the three of them went in together, even if there was only one spot, Old A would have to make a difficult choice. Zheng Yingqi was betting that Yuan Lang would be generous and give up one more spot under these circumstances.
Cheng Cai looked at Zheng Yingqi, and finally gritted his teeth: "I believe you... Zheng Yingqi, I believe you!"
"Squad Leader..." Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Zheng Yingqi with difficulty. Reason told him he should listen to Zheng Yingqi, but his emotions told him he should not abandon him. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Squad Leader, I've been in the Steel Seventh Company the shortest, but don't think I can't grow the backbone of the Steel Seventh Company! We'll go together!"
"Go to hell!" Zheng Yingqi cursed. "Get out of here! Follow Cheng Cai! I've planned everything perfectly, why would I lie to you? Hurry up and go!"
Wu Liuyi tried to shout "Leave me alone!" but Zheng Yingqi grabbed his collar angrily: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Go!" Cheng Cai gritted his teeth and dragged Ma Xiaoshuai to start moving. Ma Xiaoshuai went from being dragged to running on his own, letting out a roar like a wild beast.
"It's our turn! Let's go!" Zheng Yingqi and Xu Sanduo each helped Wu Liuyi up on one side. He whispered, "I've always been afraid I wouldn't become a true soldier of the Steel Seventh Company... Now, let me see for myself whether I'm truly a soldier of the Steel Seventh Company!"
"Never abandon! Never give up!"
With Zheng Yingqi's low growl, the three of them ran as one towards the oak forest on the distant horizon.
On the other side of the battlefield, there was a small unit like Zheng Yingqi's group. They looked just like Zheng Yingqi and his group, just as dirty, tired, hungry, and disheveled, and just as well-coordinated.
At this moment, they finally marked the last firing point, but the division's reconnaissance battalion was already closing in. The two soldiers exchanged a glance and shouted, "We'll provide cover!"
They rushed out and provided cover. The remaining three exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and charged out towards the distant oak grove.
The gunfire behind them fell silent. The two comrades providing cover had been shot. The three of them ran wildly in grief. When one of them fell, the other two stopped, helped him up, and then ran together, rushing towards the oak grove that represented opportunity and honor.
In the oak grove, Takagi held up his binoculars, maintaining that position for a very long time.
He couldn't believe that so many soldiers had accomplished this impossible task under such seemingly impossible conditions. Even though they were in such a sorry state, at this moment, Gao Cheng felt that they were all true soldiers, soldiers with wills harder than steel!
"You're right... They... truly surpassed themselves and unleashed unimaginable potential!" Gao Cheng said to Yuan Lang in a low voice.
Yuan Lang's expression was solemn. After a long pause, he said, "They are all powerful men."
However, the Old A team is determined to select the strongest among the strong, which is very cruel for many soldiers.
Cheng Cai and Ma Xiaoshuai, carrying the hopes of the other three, were running desperately.
The other three members of the group, carrying the hopes of their "fallen" comrades, ran desperately.
That was an opportunity, that was an honor, that was the last chance that so many comrades fought for them. What they carried was very heavy.
Cheng Cai and Ma Xiaoshuai ran very fast, so fast that the other group was filled with despair.
They were unwilling to let such an opportunity slip away, so they ran even faster.
On the horizon, three groups of people were running towards the oak forest. The last group, carrying a burden, had already fallen behind, but the groups in front had sped up and were approaching the oak forest.
"There are four positions in total, and one is already decided..." One of the soldiers in this group looked at the three people in his group, then at the two people in the group in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said to his comrades with a bitter smile:
"Brothers, I'm sorry!"
"Qin Feng, what are you doing?" his teammate asked in shock.
The soldier named Qin Feng shoved his teammate aside, raised his gun, and aimed at the two men more than a hundred meters away.
In the oak grove, the Old A members watched this scene in shock, a terrifying thought flashing through their minds:
Shooting at their own people?
boom!
Gunshots rang out, and the veterans reluctantly closed their eyes, their hearts burning with fury.
In front of the oak grove, Cheng Cai and Ma Xiaoshuai were running desperately. Ma Xiaoshuai was thinking, "I'm going to throw the map in Old A's face. I'm going to tell them that this is something we all worked together to complete. How are you going to pick it? How are you going to pick it!"
But just then, a gunshot rang out, followed by a hissing sound of smoke. Ma Xiaoshuai froze, dumbfounded. He took off his helmet and stared blankly at the smoke pack on it.
"Qin Feng...you...you..." The other two members of the trio stared in shock at their comrade who had fired the shot, unable to believe it.
"Run...go and grab those two spots." The soldier named Qin Feng said calmly, then raised his signal flare and fired it into the air. The moment the signal flare went off, he burst into tears:
"I brought this on myself! I'm a bastard, a complete jerk! I'm not human! Waaah, I'm a bastard!"
Qin Feng howled in despair. He knew he had done something deserving of a thousand cuts, but he was truly unwilling to let the opportunity that so many brothers had earned disappear right before his eyes.
