"Two enemies are approaching from the right side." Zhang Chu gestured.

The team leader nodded and said softly: "Prepare to ambush. Zhang Chu, you cover it and don't expose your location."

In the past, Zhang Chu might not be able to resist being the first to rush out, but this time, he acted completely according to the orders, stood firmly behind the cover, and provided precise firepower to suppress. His performance made the entire team's mission go smoothly, and in the end they successfully "annihilated" the enemy team.

After the training, the teammates gave thumbs up: "Zhang Chu, you did a pretty job this time! Without your observation and cover this time, we would have been discovered long ago."

Zhang Chu just smiled faintly and nodded: "It's the team's credit, I just did what I should do."

Qin Yuan, not far away, saw all this in his eyes and nodded in his heart. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he still didn't say a word, just turned around and left.

During dinner, Zhang Chu sat at the dining table, listening to his teammates' praise, but his heart was particularly calm. He finally understood that the training of the army was not to prove the strength of the individual, but to the victory of the team. He began to truly understand the meaning behind Qin Yuan's cold words.

After dinner, he walked to the playground, sat alone in a quiet corner, looking at the sparse stars in the sky. He recalled the training period, from his initial impatience and dissatisfaction to his calmness and concentration now, he felt that he was really changing.

"Instructor, I finally understand..." Zhang Chu murmured in a low voice, "I will continue to work hard, not to prove myself, but to become a real soldier."

The next morning, when all the recruits gathered at the training ground again, Qin Yuan stood in front of the team, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Zhang Chu.

"Today's training is still full load intensity. Zhang Chu, I hope your performance can continue." Qin Yuan's voice was cold and hard, but his tone was filled with a hint of undetectable expectation.

Zhang Chu stood straight and his eyes were firm: "Yes, instructor! I won't let you down!"

As the training whistle sounded, Zhang Chu and the team rushed into the training ground together.

Zhang Chu began to change.

At first, he just regarded these changes as his training strategy, but over time, he found that he was no longer isolated from the team as before, but gradually integrated into this group. In the past, Zhang Chu always treated everyone with a "I am the strongest" attitude. He always felt that he did not need to rely on anyone or others to recognize him. But now, he began to understand that the team is the real power of a soldier.

After the obstacle training on this day, Zhang Chu dragged his tired body toward the faucet. From afar, he saw Yue Ming carrying a sandbag, shouting to him as he walked: "Zhang Chu, come and do a favor! This thing is too heavy, carry it for me for a while!"

In the past, Zhang Chu might have replied coldly: "Fix it yourself." But today, he just shook his head and smiled: "You guy, you are lazy during training, and now you ask me to save the situation?"

Yue Ming rolled his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, come here quickly!"

Zhang Chu walked over, carried Yue Ming's sandbag, and threw it on the ground: "You are so embarrassed to ask me to help you with your physical strength? Next time you run with a load, don't brag."

Yue Ming laughed and patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, you can joke now? It's worthy of being the 'training madman' of our team, and he has even learned the verbal skills."

Duan Jinglin next to him also came over and said with a smile: "Yue Ming, you have to be careful. Zhang Chu is starting to integrate into the team. If this continues, he will even snatch your chicken legs."

Hearing this, the few people laughed at the same time.

Zhang Chu sat next to the faucet, took a handful of cold water and threw it on his face, and looked up at his teammates. He suddenly felt that such laughter was more real and warmer than the sense of accomplishment after any hard training alone.

"This is the meaning of the team..." Zhang Chu thought silently in his heart.

After dinner, the recruits gathered in the dormitory to chat, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"Zhang Chu, are you really a special forces soldier before?" a new recruit asked curiously.

Zhang Chu was sitting by the bed wiping his boots. When he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "That's right, but he was kicked out later."

"Why?" the man continued to ask.

"Because I'm hard-headed and I haven't learned to obey the command." Zhang Chu replied calmly, his tone without the anger and unwillingness of the past, but with a hint of self-deprecation.

There was a silence in the dormitory, and then Yue Ming broke the silence with a loud laugh: "So you know you are wrong now? I didn't expect that you, Zhang Chu, would have a day of reflection!"

Zhang Chu glanced at him and raised his lips: "Come on, Yue Ming, don't treat you as the eldest brother in the team. I remember who saved you last time you got lost."

Duan Jinglin immediately interrupted when he heard this: "When I talk about getting lost, I have to mention that Yue Ming fell into the mud pit and was pulled out by Zhang Chu, so embarrassed. And his face was covered in mud-"

"Okay, okay! Duan Jinglin, if you mention it, I will turn your back!" Yue Ming shouted with laughter, causing a burst of laughter in the entire dormitory.

Zhang Chu looked at this scene with a smile, and suddenly felt very at ease. He used to think that as long as he was strong enough, he could face everything alone, but now, he realized that true strength is not the fight alone, but the tacit cooperation of a team.

This change was more obvious during the next day's tactical confrontation training.

On the training ground, Zhang Chu's team received a task to cross the "enemy" area and complete information transmission. He was arranged as the assaulter in the group. In the past, he was always the first to rush out and wanted to complete the task with his own strength, but this time, he completely obeyed the command of captain Duan Jinglin.

"Zhang Chu, lurk in the bush on the right and observe the enemy's patrol route." Duan Jinglin signaled through gestures.

Zhang Chu nodded, crawled forward quickly, hiding in the bushes. He observed patiently, and a few minutes later, he discovered the rules of the enemy patrol team. He used gestures to convey information to his teammates. Duan Jinglin immediately arranged for Yue Ming to lead the team around the patrol area, while Zhang Chu was responsible for cutting off the back cover.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the enemy suddenly discovered something strange, Zhang Chu fired accurately, attracting the enemy's attention and winning valuable evacuation time for the team. In the end, the entire team successfully completed the task, and the instructor announced that they had achieved the best results in this training.

Duan Jinglin rushed over excitedly and patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder: "I did a good job this time, especially when you broke the back, I bought us time!"

Yue Ming also came over and said with a smile: "Zhang Chu, I finally know what cooperation is, right? If you continue to make progress like this, I will be afraid that you will steal the position of captain."

Zhang Chu smiled slightly, his tone was calm but firm: "Now I will not let my team be held back."

Qin Yuan, who was standing in the distance, was silently watching all this, with a hint of relief in his eyes. He knew that Zhang Chu had transformed from that arrogant "problem soldier" to a real team member.

On a sunny afternoon, the playground of the recruit company was still full of training. Zhang Chu had just finished a high-intensity physical training and was sitting in the rest area, gasping for breath, his soaked clothes were pressed against his skin, looking a little embarrassed.

"Zhang Chu, you have your package." A non-commissioned officer came over and handed him a slightly worn brown package.

"Pack?" Zhang Chu took it in confusion, looked down at the sender's information on it, and frowned slightly. The sender's name was something he had never heard of, but the mailing address came from his hometown. This made a complicated emotion suddenly surge in his heart.

"Who will send me something?" Zhang Chu murmured to himself. His parents were no longer alive and had no relatives at home. The package came inexplicably.

With doubts, Zhang Chu walked to a quiet corner and carefully opened the package. There were not many things inside, only a shabby military green box and a letter.

His eyes were attracted by the small box. He gently opened the box and found that there was a military medal and an old photo that had long been yellowed.

The man in the photo is wearing a military uniform, with a strong and warm smile on his face, and his eyes are firm and warm - it is his father, Zhang Guoqiang.

Zhang Chu's breathing stagnated instantly, and his fingertips gently stroked the edge of the photo, and his eyes became particularly complicated. He lost his father since he was a child, and his impression of his father was almost all pieced together from his mother's words. This photo was obviously what his father looked like when he was young.

His hands trembled slightly, putting the photo down and picking up the letter.

Although the letter paper is a little yellow, the handwriting is still clear and powerful, with the strength of a soldier. When Zhang Chu saw the "Chu'er's opening" at the beginning, his eyes turned red in an instant.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, opened the letter, and began to read.

“Chu’er:

When you read this letter, I may no longer be by your side. First of all, I want to tell you that I am proud of you. Although you are still young, I can already see the stubbornness and persistence in your bones. That is the most precious quality of our Zhang family.

As your father, my only regret is that I cannot accompany you to grow up, and I cannot see you as a man who stands tall with my own eyes. Maybe you will hate me, hate me for dedicating my life to the army and the country, and ignore you and your mother. But I hope you can understand that I am not a man who does not love my family, but a person who understands responsibility. My duty is to protect the country and let more families no longer lose children like you."

After reading this, Zhang Chu's throat was already choked. His eyes blurred, but he gritted his teeth and tried to keep watching.

"Chu'er, I don't know if you will choose to be a soldier like me in the future, but if you really choose this path, I hope you understand that the word "soldier" represents not honor, but responsibility and sacrifice. There are no individual heroes on the battlefield, only teams and trust. Remember, true strength is not faster and stronger than others, but being able to protect your comrades at critical moments and fulfill your mission.

If one day you also wear this military uniform, please remember not to forget your original intention to prove yourself. All your efforts are not for others to see how good you are, but for those who rely on you to survive.

Finally, I hope you will always remember that no matter where you are and what you do, I will be proud of you. Chu'er, take every step and become a man who makes you proud."

Love your father
