"Everyone, retreat to the right passage! Don't stop!" Zhang Chu ordered loudly, his voice calm but unquestionably firm.

The team members quickly stood up and evacuated to the right under the cover of smoke. Zhang Chu always stayed at the end, constantly suppressing the enemy with precise firepower. His heartbeat accelerated, but his hands were extremely steady.

When the last team member passed through the passage, Zhang Chu quickly evacuated. However, at this moment, he found that the enemy's reinforcements were approaching quickly towards the other end of the passage.

"The reinforcements are approaching and need fire support!" Zhang Chu asked for reinforcements from the rear through the walkie-talkie, "We are trapped in the core area, and the situation is urgent!"

The rear support commander's response was soon heard from the communication equipment: "Received, please report your location."

While observing the surrounding terrain, Zhang Chu quickly reported: "The core area is southeast, at 200 meters, at the end of the passage! The enemy's firepower is concentrated, and we need support to cover the breakout!"

"I understand that the support team is heading to your location and arrive within five minutes." The commander's voice was calm and clear.

"Okay, we will stick to the support until the arrival of support!" After responding, Zhang Chu turned around and said to Zhou Sen: "The reinforcement will arrive in five minutes, and we need to hold on here!"

Zhou Sen nodded: "Very good, we are here to deploy defenses and use the terrain and smoke to delay the enemy's advancement."

Zhang Chu quickly checked the location of the bunker around him and decisively assigned tasks: "Team Leader Zhou, you and Li Kun are responsible for the bunker on the left to suppress the enemy's frontal attack. I and the others guard the right channel to prevent the enemy from encircling from the rear!"

Everyone quickly took their seats according to Zhang Chu's instructions. They used the cover formed by bunkers and smoke bombs to constantly adjust their positions and dealt with the enemy with precise firepower. Zhang Chu's shooting was still calm and precise, and each shot aimed at the enemy's most deadly position, completely curbing the enemy's propulsion speed.

"Bang! Bang!" Zhang Chu hit two enemies in a row, but the enemy's firepower became increasingly dense, and the rain of bullets hit the surrounding bunkers, making a dull impact sound. He gritted his teeth and threw out the last smoke bomb on his body, winning more time.

"How long will it take to reinforce?" Li Kun shouted while shooting.

Zhang Chu looked down at the timer on his wrist and calmly replied: "Two minutes! Hold on for another two minutes!"

The team members gritted their teeth and tried their best to deal with the enemy. Although their numbers were at a disadvantage, with Zhang Chu's precise command and the cooperation of all the staff, they always defended the final line of defense.

Finally, the roar of machine guns came from afar - the support team arrived.

"Reinforcements are coming! Continue to suppress the enemy!" Zhang Chu shouted, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

The support team quickly joined the battle and completely suppressed the enemy with powerful firepower. The assault team took the opportunity to withdraw from the passage and successfully joined the support team.

After the drill, everyone returned to the camp. Zhang Chu took off his helmet, his face was covered in sweat, and he looked extremely tired, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Zhou Sen walked to him, patted his shoulder, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This time, the command was good, especially the timing of the smoke bomb and the retreat route, which saved the entire group. It seems that you have really learned to calm down and work together in teamwork."

Li Kun also came over and said with a smile: "Boy, at first I thought you were a conceited recruit, but now it seems that you are indeed a bit powerful."

Zhang Chu smiled slightly, with a hint of humility in his eyes: "It depends on everyone's cooperation to succeed this time. I just did what I should do."

Zhou Sen nodded, with relief in his eyes: "Continue to keep it, Zhang Chu. You are becoming a truly trustworthy team member."

Standing under the lights of the camp, Zhang Chu looked up at the starry sky above his head, and a sense of peace of mind that he had never felt before.

The night was dark, and when Zhang Chu returned to the recruit company, the camp seemed particularly quiet. The lights on the training ground were weak, and only the figures of patrol sentry were walking around occasionally. After several days of high-intensity drills, his body was exhausted, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.

Standing at the door of the recruit company barracks, Zhang Chu looked up at the familiar flagpole, then looked down at the tactical vest that was already a little worn on his body. He let out a light breath, but he couldn't calm down inside - it was a relief after completing the task, but he also had some uncertainty about his own growth.

"Zhang Chu, come here." A cold voice came from the barracks.

Zhang Chu suddenly looked up and found Qin Yuan standing not far away, with his hands behind his back, and his eyes staring at him as sharply as a knife. Even in the night, Qin Yuan's aura still makes people dare not slacken.

Zhang Chu stood at attention quickly and his voice was loud: "Report to the instructor, Zhang Chu will return to the team for a mission!"

Qin Yuan nodded slightly and walked a few steps closer. He stood in front of Zhang Chu, looked straight into his eyes, and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I heard that you performed well in this drill."

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment. He had never seen Qin Yuan's attitude like this before. Qin Yuan's usual evaluation was often cold criticism. This time, although his voice was still calm, it was a hint of undetectable recognition.

"Instructor, with the help of my teammates in the mission, I just completed my responsibilities as planned." Zhang Chu said in a humble tone and looked at Qin Yuan firmly.

Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him carefully, as if confirming whether this was the stubborn, arrogant recruit who always wanted to fight alone.

"You have grown up." Qin Yuan's mouth raised slightly, but his cold expression quickly returned to his face. "I heard that when you were surrounded in the core area, you decisively used smoke bombs to cover the retreat, and contacted reinforcements through communication. And your shooting was so accurate that even the veterans praised you?"

Zhang Chu listened and couldn't help but pursed his lips. Although he tried his best to stay calm, he could not hide his inner excitement. He knew what Qin Yuan's words meant.

"Instructor, this is the result of teamwork. Without their cooperation, I can't do it alone." Zhang Chu tried hard to keep himself calm.

Qin Yuan nodded with a hint of relief in his eyes: "It's great, learning to give credit to the team is progress. But don't think that you can relax. On the battlefield, real excellence is not about completing tasks, but about ensuring that everyone can return safely while completing tasks."

This sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Chu's heart. He quickly straightened his back and nodded vigorously: "Yes, instructor! I understand!"

Qin Yuan did not say anything more, but turned around and his voice came faintly: "Come with me."

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, but he followed immediately. The two of them walked through the training ground and came to a clearing on the edge of the shooting range. This was a familiar place for Zhang Chu. In the past few months, he has practiced shooting here again and again, corrected his technical shortcomings, and even was depressed by his shooting results.

Qin Yuan stopped and pointed to a rifle on the target: "Your performance in this mission proves one thing - you have the ability. But I want to know if you have the determination to go further."

Zhang Chu's eyes were shocked. He understood what Qin Yuan meant, which was a test of whether he was only satisfied with his current achievements.

"Instructor, please give orders." Zhang Chu stood up straight and said in a firm tone.

Qin Yuan smiled faintly and pointed at the target 200 meters away: "Pick up the gun, ten bullets, hit more than 90 rings. You can do it in the mission, and can you still do it now, prove it to me."

Zhang Chu did not hesitate at all, quickly picked up the rifle and adjusted his posture. He did not say anything extra, his palm firmly held the gun body and calmly adjusted his breathing. He knew that this was not only a shooting test, but also a new test of his will by Qin Yuan.

"Bang!" The first bullet broke out.

Zhang Chu's movements were clean and neat, and the entire shooting range was filled with continuous gunfire. His eyes were always focused on the scope, without any interference from the outside world.

When the tenth bullet was shot out, the number on the target was frozen at the "93 ring".

Zhang Chu put down his gun, stood up straight, and looked at Qin Yuan with bright eyes. He did not speak, waiting for the instructor's evaluation.

Qin Yuan glanced at the score, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a deep voice: "No, it's improved again from the last time. It means you are not the kind of person who is satisfied after the task is over."

Zhang Chu felt a heat in his chest. Although he knew that Qin Yuan was still strict, he could feel the rare recognition from his words.

"Zhang Chu." Qin Yuan suddenly turned around, with his hands behind his back, looking at the shooting range in the distance, "From the perspective of the recruit company, you have begun to stand out. But if you look at it from the perspective of the entire army, you are still far from it. The real battlefield is more complicated than drills. The enemy will not give you a chance to breathe, and the mission will not stop because of the fluctuations in your personal emotions."

"So, I hope you remember one thing - always keep learning and keep growing. Every achievement you have now is just the starting point, do you understand?"

Zhang Chu's eyes became more and more firm, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, instructor! I will continue to work hard and become a better soldier!"

Qin Yuan nodded and turned around and left. The night wind blew, and the lights on the shooting range cast a tall shadow on the two of them.

That night, Zhang Chu stood there without moving for a long time. A stream of firmness and belief that he had never felt before came to his heart. He understood that every word Qin Yuan said was a spur to him and an expectation for his future.

"Instructor, I won't let you down." Zhang Chu said silently in his heart, his eyes shining like the stars in the night sky, with an incomparable light.

A few days later, the camp was silent. Qin Yuan sat in the command room, and a red light suddenly flashed on the communication equipment in front of him. After turning on, a low and serious voice came: "Qin Yuan, you have received an emergency mission."

Qin Yuan immediately sat upright with sharp eyes: "Please instruct."

"The intelligence department of Tianming City discovered that a group of terrorists were planning a large-scale attack, and the target might involve important facilities in the city center. Intelligence shows that they have lurked in the city and have stored a large number of explosives. This mission requires you to bring several backbones in the recruit company to cooperate with local special police to completely eliminate this threat."

Qin Yuan frowned slightly and asked quickly: "Is the specific enemy situation and mission scope clear?"

The other party spoke solemnly: "The information is currently limited, and it can only be confirmed that the core stronghold may be hidden in the abandoned factory area in the east of the city, and a part of the terrorists lurk in the city. Time is tight, so you need to act immediately."

"I understand." Qin Yuan responded briefly, then cut off the communication. He stood up and glanced deeply at the training plan of the recruit company hanging on the wall.

A moment later, his voice rang through the intercom equipment through the training ground: "Zhang Chu, Yue Ming, Duan Jinglin, immediately gathered in the command room."

Zhang Chuzheng and Duan Jinglin completed physical training on the training ground. After hearing the radio, they looked at each other and guessed something in their hearts. A few minutes later, the three of them lined up to enter the command room.

Qin Yuan stood in front of the map with a cold expression. His eyes swept over them and said, "Just received an order from his superiors, we formed a team to go to Tianming City to carry out a highly confidential anti-terrorism mission. This operation is very dangerous. The enemy may have prepared a complex defense system, and you must come up with the best state."

Zhang Chu's heart suddenly jumped, and he was both excited and nervous. He realized that this was a practical task that was completely different from the previous drills.

"The mission goal is clear," Qin Yuan continued, pointing the baton in his hand to Tianming City on the map. "The enemy is divided into two forces, part of which is reserved for weapons in the abandoned factory in the east of the city, and the other part is hidden in the city center. It may be planning an attack on civilians. Our mission is to assist the SWAT team, locate and destroy these strongholds."

Qin Yuan's eyes fixed on Zhang Chu: "Zhang Chu, you are the team scout of this operation, responsible for peripheral reconnaissance and confirmation of enemy situations. You need to find the exact location of the enemy's stronghold and ensure that the team is not exposed."

"Yes, instructor!" Zhang Chu nodded vigorously, his voice loudly.

"Yue Ming, you are responsible for assisting local police in controlling the periphery and ensuring that no civilians will enter the war zone by mistake."

"I understand." Yue Ming's expression was serious and his eyes were firm.

"Duan Jinglin, your mission is to technical support and dismantle explosives. The enemy may have arranged a large number of bombs at the stronghold, and you must ensure the safety of all personnel in a short time."

"Received." Duan Jinglin's answer was brief and calm.

"We will work together with local special police forces in this operation, but remember, don't rely on them. You are soldiers and must complete the tasks with your own abilities." Qin Yuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

He glanced at the three of them and finally added: "This is not only a mission, but also a test of your actual combat capabilities. Zhang Chu, Yue Ming, Duan Jinglin, I will command the entire mission, but every step may be related to life and death. You must always be calm."

Zhang Chu was shocked and his eyes became more firm. He knew the importance of this mission and knew that Qin Yuan's trust was hard-won.

"The mission departure time - one hour later!" Qin Yuan gave the last order, and the three of them quickly stood up and responded in unison: "Yes!"
Chapter completed!
