The second thing is that the military region listed Fang Zhenhua, a new recruit in their company, as a model trainee of the year.

Moreover, when the military region sent people to assess him, even the army commander came. Now, Fang Zhenhua's second-class merit award was inevitable.

While chatting with the other two company commanders of the Third Battalion, Liang Sanxi's face was full of smiles. In particular, the company commander of the Eighth Company had wanted to recruit Fang Zhenhua to their company more than once, but Liang Sanxi was able to make him have his wish.

Before we knew it, the Chinese New Year arrived, and Fang Zhenhua's certificate for being awarded a second-class merit finally came into effect.

The division commander specially sent over the certificate, but no one was jealous; that kid was becoming more and more terrifying.

I've already run the 5km armed cross-country in under 16 minutes, just 20 seconds away from that record that's stood for over a decade.

Moreover, after adjustments, his grenade throwing distance has reached 80 meters, just 8 meters away from the current army record.

In shooting, he consistently scores 50 rings on the 200-meter target, and even achieved the feat of hitting a hole in five shots. The company has decided to apply for a special-class marksman certificate for him.

As for hand-to-hand combat, bayonet fighting, and the 40-fire technique, according to Jin Kailai and Sun Dabiao, there's no way to teach them anymore; they've already learned them all.

The saying goes, "Teach your apprentice, and you'll starve to death." These two masters starved to death in just a few months.

Liang Sanxi was very satisfied with Fang Zhenhua's progress, and he himself was preparing to return to his hometown to visit relatives.

But Fang Zhenhua looked at the time and at Zhao Mengsheng's unusual behavior these past few days, and he sighed.

In this life, whether they are company commanders or platoon leaders, he will do his best to protect them.

We must never let this tragedy repeat itself.

“If that old woman dares to transfer this playboy back, I’ll go to Beijing at my own expense to sue her, or I’m not Jin Kailai.”

Zhao Mengsheng's incident finally ignited the entire Ninth Company, and all the officers and soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with this political instructor.

Why should they risk their lives on the front lines while these young masters enjoy themselves in the back?

Who wasn't born of a mother and raised by a father? Grandma.

Fang Zhenhua didn't say much about this matter. He was well aware of Zhao Mengsheng's change, and all of this was just the darkness before dawn.

He just kept training, trying to get himself into top condition.

Fang Zhenhua and his gun were already itching to fight the enemy in southern Xinjiang.

The world's third strongest military power?

They're targeting the world's third-ranked team.

The turmoil in the Ninth Company cast a dark shadow over the hearts of all the commanders and soldiers.

Until they received their transfer orders, everyone set off for southern Xinjiang.

Zhao's mother made a phone call to Lei Shenye, successfully angering Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen rushed to Fang Zhenhua's division to hold a pre-battle mobilization meeting.

This extremely hot-tempered army commander berated the wealthy woman who had gotten in through connections, leaving Zhao Mengsheng humiliated and unable to lift his head.

"Damn it, they used connections and ended up on the battlefield where I bled and died."

"I don't care if she's the wife of God the Heavenly Emperor or the wife of God the Earthly Emperor, as long as she gets to the battlefield through connections."

“I want his son, the first one.”

With a "bang," Lei Zhen slammed his general's hat onto the table.

"Go blow up the bunker."

Zhao Mengsheng abruptly raised his head, his face deathly pale.

The 9th Company's base on the southern border battlefield.

Zhao Mengsheng tossed and turned in the tent, Lei Zhen's words like sharp knives stabbing viciously into his chest.

It not only made him feel ashamed, but also filled him with shame and indignation.

Seeing him like this, Liang Sanxi felt really bad. He ordered the entire company to assemble, wanting to give Zhao Mengsheng a chance.

When they got outside, Zhao Mengsheng looked at all the officers and soldiers in the company, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared.

"I am also a soldier... Whether I am a hero or a coward, we'll see on the battlefield."

Liang Sanxi looked at all the comrades in the company and said seriously.

"I now announce that, following a resolution from higher authorities, Comrade Jin Kailai is hereby appointed as the deputy company commander of the Ninth Company."

Promotion during wartime, being promoted on the front lines, that's definitely not a good thing.

Jin Kailai himself knew that it would be difficult to leave the battlefield safely.

"Our Ninth Company's mission during wartime was to serve as the spearhead company of the entire regiment, carrying out infiltration operations."

Before the big battle, they shaved their heads to facilitate the treatment of the wounded. During their midday drinking session, Zhao Mengsheng and Jin Kailai shook hands and made peace.

That evening, Liang Sanxi, who was not good at drinking, surprisingly broke his vow and competed with Jin Kailai to become the leader of the elite platoon.

At this moment, Fang Zhenhua walked over.

"Company commander, deputy company commander."

After saluting the two men, Liang Sanxi asked with some curiosity.

"Zhenhua, what's the matter?"

"Company commander, I shouldn't be here right now, but I want to volunteer."

Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai understood the implied meaning and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Company commander, deputy company commander, I know I'm not qualified, but I still want to try. Let me lead the elite platoon!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Kailai slammed his hand on the table.

"Nonsense, am I dead? Do I need you to lead the elite platoon? Get lost."

The spearhead platoon, the spearhead platoon, the first to die on the battlefield are the spearheads.

Liang Sanxi then spoke up.

"Zhenhua, you're only 21 years old, still a high school student. Your future is limitless. Do you know what the elite platoon means?"

"Company commander, the elite platoon needs leaders to lead from the front. Who in our company is better than me?"

Jin Kailai was so angry at these words that he laughed.

"How long have you been in the army, you bastard? How are the company commander and I supposed to face people if word gets out that we're sending a new recruit like you to lead the elite platoon?"

This time, Fang Zhenhua didn't call him deputy company commander, but instead addressed him as platoon leader, his aim being to appeal to their emotions.

“Platoon leader, although I haven’t been in the army for long, I’m a training pacesetter in the military region. If I’m not the first to go on the battlefield, who will be?”

"Please rest assured, Company Commander and Platoon Leader, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Damn it, I forgot this kid was the military region's annual training pacesetter.

What is a training pacesetter?

Not to mention the entire military region, at least in their army and their division, no one was more outstanding than Fang Zhenhua last year.

However, neither Liang Sanxi nor Jin Kailai could bring themselves to make the decision to send a new recruit who had only been in the army for a few months to lead a crack platoon.

Fang Zhenhua is too outstanding; they are both afraid that he might suffer some loss.

Seeing their hesitation, Fang Zhenhua said decisively.

"Company commander, platoon leader, a soldier who can't fight in real combat will still be a bad soldier no matter how much training he receives. Please give me this opportunity so that I can truly transform myself and become a qualified soldier."

These words were exactly what Jin Kailai wanted to hear, especially with Zhao Mengsheng as a comparison.

One reason was that the instructor was afraid of death and wanted to be transferred to a lower position.

One is a new recruit who fearlessly charges forward, regardless of life or death.

Jin Kailai couldn't help but shout, and Liang Sanxi waved his hand, staring intently at Fang Zhenhua.

"You really want to lead the elite platoon?"

"I am a sharp knife of the motherland, and wherever the blade points, it is invincible."

"No regrets?"

"I will never regret it."

"Okay, be ambitious."

"Old Jin, you don't need to say anything. I know what's going on with Fang Zhenhua."

"This time you're leading the elite platoon. What if you fail to complete the mission?"

"Willing to accept punishment."

Chapter 6: Interception and Annihilation of the Enemy

Fang Zhenhua's army belonged to the Western Front Corps and set off from Tiannan Province.

The enemy that the Western Front Corps was facing was the 326th, 345th and 316A Divisions of the Second Military Region of the Monkey Army, a total of 5.5 regular and local troops, commanded by Major General Wu Li.

The strategic policy formulated by the central command before the war was: limited time, limited depth, concentration of superior forces, encirclement and outflanking maneuvers, quick victory, and annihilation of the enemy with a swift return.

This battle cannot be delayed, nor can it be allowed to drag on. If it goes on for too long, there is a risk of unrest in the north.

Therefore, Fang Zhenhua's army was tasked with launching simultaneous attacks on Laogai, Banfi, Bapo, Banlao, Mengkang, and Falong.

The Ninth Company, the spearhead unit, was tasked with capturing Area 28 through flanking maneuvers, annihilating its enemy forces, and cooperating with the entire division to complete the encirclement.

All the members of the Ninth Company were hiding in the banana grove, waiting for the moment to attack.

As the moment of attack arrived, thousands of cannons and rocket launchers fired simultaneously on the western front.

"Whoosh!" ~ "Whoosh!"

One after another, artillery shells and rockets were launched, illuminating the entire night sky.

When you're poor, use tactical infiltration; when you're rich, bomb me.

The rabbit finally won a decisive victory, which will surely leave the monkey completely bewildered.

After the artillery ceased firing, the various units of the Western Front Army began their attack.

Fang Zhenhua led 30 elite soldiers, charging at the forefront of the entire company.

He wielded a Type 56-1 rifle and moved extremely fast. If it weren't for his deliberate control, and considering that the soldiers in the elite platoon were the best in the entire company, it would be difficult to keep up with him.

Liang Sanxi was still a little worried about him, so he asked Jin Kailai to assist Fang Zhenhua.

"Zhenhua, slow down, the comrades are falling behind."

Jin Kailai shouted, "This brat can run so fast! He can run so fast even on this broken road!"

"Platoon leader, there's a grove of trees ahead. I'll clear the way."

"Be careful, don't get shot by the enemy."

"Platoon leader, don't worry!"

Fang Zhenhua responded and then led the way out, determined to clear a path for the entire company.

As Fang Zhenhua entered the woods, he was about to draw his machete when his keen hearing immediately detected some movement within the trees.

He quickly lay down on the ground, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings.

A short while later, seven or eight enemies rushed out from directly in front.

Fang Zhenhua pulled the bolt back, and once the enemy was within 300 meters of him, he began firing in bursts.

"Da"~ "Da"~

"Da"~ "Da"~

With his precise marksmanship, Fang Zhenhua transformed into the Grim Reaper, reaping the lives of his enemies with each bullet.

Outside the woods, Jin Kailai and the other elite platoon members rushed into the woods after hearing the gunshots.

"Zhenhua, Zhenhua."

Jin Kailai, holding a Type 56-1 submachine gun, carefully maneuvered while shouting.

"Platoon leader, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhenhua got up from the ground.

"what happened?"
