He was also awarded the title of "King of Guns" by the military region.
Gong Jian began to elevate Su Yang's status.
It wasn't about elevating her status; she was simply recounting Su Yang's experiences.
The purpose was to enable Su Yang to suppress the soldiers of the company.
Upon hearing Gong Jian's introduction, everyone in the queue looked surprised and began to whisper among themselves. The soldiers standing in the first two rows had their eyes on a young captain to the side. They knew that this captain was the new company commander, the "gun king" mentioned by the political instructor.
"Alright, I won't go into too much detail about his introduction. You'll see how formidable he is in the future. Now, let's welcome our Company Commander Su Yang to speak!"
*Slap slap slap...*
Warm applause broke out.
Gong Jian turned and walked to the side of the group, while Su Yang walked to the front of the group.
He looked at the people in the line who were looking at him and said, "Attention!"
Wow!
Everyone stood at attention.
Su Yang bowed and said, "At ease."
Everyone, stand at ease.
Su Yang nodded and smiled, "The instructor already introduced me, and now I'll introduce myself again. My name is Su Yang, and from today onwards I'm the company commander of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company. I'm a person who likes the law of the jungle..."
You've all heard of the law of the jungle, right?
"This is a law of survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle. Whoever is more capable, whoever is more skilled, whoever is more powerful, can become a squad leader, a platoon leader, or even a company commander!"
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, the people in the group exchanged glances and then began to whisper among themselves.
"report!"
A corporal suddenly shouted.
Su Yang glanced at him and said, "Speak."
"Company Commander, are you telling the truth?"
The corporal asked.
Su Yang laughed and said, "A man's word is his bond. If you think you're better than me, you can compete with me. You can choose any event you like. As long as you can beat me, I'll let you be the company commander."
After saying this, Su Yang saw that many people in the team were eager to try.
Su Yang said, "The challenge starts tomorrow. It's too late today. Okay, that's all. Does the instructor have anything else to say?"
Su Yang looked at Gong Jian.
Gong Jian shook his head.
Seeing Gong Jian shake his head, Su Yang said, "Dismiss your classes."
"All classes are dismissed!"
The crowd dispersed in a flurry, and once inside the company building, they began to whisper among themselves.
After all the soldiers returned to the company building, only Su Yang and Gong Jian remained at the entrance.
"Old Su, isn't this law of the jungle a bit unsuitable for our Chinese military?"
Gong Jian walked up to Su Yang and spoke.
The Chinese military emphasizes unity; unity is strength!
The law of the jungle dictates that the strong prey on the weak; the strong eat meat, and the weak eat excrement!
Upon hearing Gong Jian's question, Su Yang smiled and said, "I know what you mean, but don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After finishing his sentence, Su Yang paused and said, "Xiao Gong, ideological work will probably be of paramount importance for us in the future. You'll have to put in a lot of effort."
Gong Jian's face darkened, but he forced a smile and nodded.
the next day.
The company's morning reveille sounded.
In the company's single dormitory, Su Yang, lying on his bed, subconsciously opened his eyes after hearing the familiar company reveille.
After stretching his body, Su Yang put on his workout clothes.
When I finished putting on my physical training uniform and walked out of the company, I saw that the soldiers in the company had already put on their physical training uniforms and, led by the duty squad leader, started their daily five-kilometer run along the main road.
Upon seeing this, Su Yang did a few stretching exercises and then started running towards the main road.
He was very fast, and it took him less than thirty seconds to catch up with the fourth sniper team.
While running alongside the team, Su Yang shouted, "Let's play a game this morning. We'll have a 10-kilometer race with light gear. Whoever can't outrun me won't get breakfast this morning and will have to do an extra 10-kilometer training run. Whoever surpasses me will get all my meals from now on. Let's start running!"
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company were stunned for a moment, then they let out a howl and began to run forward at a faster pace.
As for things like maintaining a neat and orderly formation, they didn't care!
Seeing everyone rushing forward with shouts, Su Yang smiled and then sped up as well. In just over ten seconds, he had already reached the front of the group, about twenty meters ahead of the second-place runner.
And so Su Yang continued to lead the way, running...
The soldiers behind him saw that Su Yang was not far away from them, and they all put all their strength into chasing him. However, they found that no matter how fast they ran, they always kept a distance of 20 meters from their company commander, and they could not catch up with him no matter what they did.
Five kilometers...
Seven kilometers.
Eight kilometers.
Ten kilometers.
When the 10-kilometer race was over, Su Yang was the first to reach the finish line.
Then, looking at the crowd catching up behind him, he shouted, "Don't stop, keep running! Everyone, do an extra ten kilometers! This time, I only want the top ten. The top ten can go back, and the rest of you keep running!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, the soldiers in the company, who had already exerted all their strength to catch up with him, now had to endure their tired legs and continue running forward.
The second 10-kilometer stretch ended quickly.
Su Yang shouted again, "The top ten rest, everyone behind you keep running! This time it's five kilometers! This time I only want the top five!"
Su Yang's words brought tears to the eyes of the soldiers, who continued running, panting heavily.
Beside him, one of the soldiers who had already run ten kilometers stood still, panting heavily.
Su Yang glanced at them and said, "Go back to your company, rest for ten minutes, and then start organizing your own training."
"Yes!"
Ten soldiers left.
at the same time.
On the second floor of the regimental headquarters, in the regimental commander's office, Kang Lei was looking at the training field through binoculars. Watching the sharpshooters of the Fourth Company running around, he couldn't help but smile and say, "This is interesting."
On the training field...
The running continues...
Normally, the standard time for a lightly equipped 5-kilometer run in the military is within 23 minutes, but no company uses this time as the passing standard.
For example, in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company where Su Yang previously served, the passing time for the lightly equipped 5-kilometer run was set at 17 minutes or less, 15 minutes or less was considered good, and 13 minutes or less was considered excellent.
If calculated according to normal time, all the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company can run in under 17 minutes. However, because they ran 20 kilometers and ran without any leeway, these 5 kilometers were the slowest they ever ran in their military careers.
The first runner finished the five kilometers in thirty minutes.
After the top five runners reached the finish line, Su Yang shouted, "The rest of you, continue for another five kilometers! This time, we'll calculate it as thirty minutes. If any one of you fails to complete five kilometers within thirty minutes, you're all going to be exhausted today!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, the rest of the people continued running with their heads down.
Time passed little by little, from morning exercises and jogging to the last group being led back, it was already noon.
At noon, Su Yang did not give them extra training, but let them have a normal lunch.
But when it came to the afternoon training session, Su Yang started causing trouble again!
The main training subject for the Sharpshooter Fourth Company is marksmanship!
As for marksmanship, Su Yang is naturally unmatched.
However, the members of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company were unaware of Su Yang's marksmanship.
"This afternoon we're playing a little game. Each person gets ten bullets. Whoever shoots better than me gets a day off tomorrow... Whoever doesn't shoot as well as me has to practice holding the gun for three hours. Let's begin..."
Su Yang said with a smile.
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, the members of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company rubbed their hands together and began to fire.
In their eyes, Su Yang was just a military officer, and how could a military officer's marksmanship compare to theirs, which they trained every day?
Moreover, they are the Sharpshooter Fourth Company, every single one of them is a sharpshooter, and each of them would be a sniper in any other company.
However..
After they had all finished their fights, it was Su Yang's turn.
Su Yang first asked about the first place score, and then began shooting.
