Chapter 281: Striking The Armed Smuggling Gang
With the previous slaughterhouse bloody pig slaughtering, the intermediate close-range viewing of the execution ground gun execution of criminals, and now the spicy tofu pudding having an excellent effect.
Despite everyone eating with great discomfort, all of them put on painful masks one by one.
But they all managed to hold back strongly and finished all the tofu pudding.
This represented that the desensitization training was extremely successful, and Cheng Cai, Wu Liu Yi, and others’ nerves had been strengthened, making their tolerance for “killing” stronger.
As long as the tolerance reached a certain level, and there was also sufficient reason to convince oneself.
Killing in actual combat would not have too much psychological burden.
Of course.
To achieve this level in desensitization training, it was definitely not possible in a short time, and it could not be done in one or two times; it required a gradual process.
Therefore, the torment journey for Cheng Cai and his group was far from over.
Everyone, plus vomiting and the evening punishment, ended breakfast with at least two large bowls of spicy tofu pudding, and the lunch dishes were similarly carefully customized.
To properly nourish the tormented crowd, Chen Jun carefully prepared steamed pig brain for lunch.
Desensitization training exercised people’s brains, and Xu Sanduo and others had suffered so much torment, so they must properly nourish their brains.
This was Chen Jun’s “kind explanation”!
The spicy brain flower was just a fake brain made of tofu, and it had already made Xu Sanduo and the others vomit profusely; the pig brain was genuine brain flower.
One could imagine how much everyone collapsed inwardly when seeing the steamed brain flower.
That feeling…
It was as if the sky had collapsed!
However, everyone now fully understood that Chen Jun’s heart was even blacker than Yuan Lang’s; Yuan Lang didn’t even qualify to be his little brother.
The crowd, knowing how terrifying the punishment was, could only once again use their willpower to conquer their bodily instincts.
With steel-like strong willpower, they forcibly suppressed the strong inner resistance, stubbornly resisting bodily instincts, and ate the nauseating pig brain flower.
In the process of forcibly resisting bodily instincts, Xu Sanduo and others’ tolerance rapidly soared.
Desensitization training was showing more and more results!
The pig brain flower eaten at lunch was still fresh in memory, and the evening dishes were no better; they were all things that made people numb all over just looking at them.
The first day of desensitization training was destined to become the darkest day in the lives of Xu Sanduo and others.
Unforgettable for a lifetime!
They thought that after dinner, the day was over, and this terrifying life was finally leaving, and the world was finally returning to normal.
As a result, Wu Liu Yi and his people had thought too much; things were not as easy as they thought.
The next day.
The nightmare-like days started again, and they were upgraded once more.
Except for the midday gun execution not being included—after all, criminals weren’t sent to the execution ground every day; this depended on opportunity and luck.
The other procedures remained without omission, letting the cadets live in blood and killing.
Every morning was either slaughtering pigs or cows, mornings and afternoons were all kinds of nauseating dishes, and occasionally in between, some “special activities” were added.
For example, pulling everyone to the hospital morgue to sleep with corpses overnight.
Or going to great lengths to the medical college, letting everyone personally touch the body of the cadaver teacher, and various organs soaked in formalin.
And the most terrifying: one serving of pig brain flower per person, looking at human brains soaked in formalin, eating pig brain right in front of it.
And so on!
…
Various methods emerged endlessly, all aimed at making you uncomfortable.
And under Chen Jun’s ever-changing, various horrifying and chilling torments that made them have nightmares even when sleeping at night, Xu Sanduo and others’ psychological resilience took huge leaps every day, soaring like a rocket.
After all, every special forces soldier who could enter old A had unique talents, and their learning ability was far beyond ordinary people.
Stronger learning ability naturally meant better comprehension, and they definitely learned faster.
After more than a week passed, the desensitization training for the seven team members was very successful, basically meeting Chen Jun’s requirements.
Even the most “bleeding heart” Xu Sanduo could calmly slaughter pigs and cows with a swift strike.
Just like shooting at the shooting range; no matter how vividly red the spurting pig blood was, it couldn’t change his expression at all.
Just like being completely numb.
And in fact, they were indeed numb, more accurately, completely accepting it.
Not to mention special forces soldiers with fast learning speeds—even if randomly pulling a passerby from society, under Chen Jun’s varied torments, significant changes could be seen in more than a week.
The human body was that magical; as long as you intended to change, it could adapt to anything.
The desensitization training for Xu Sanduo, Cheng Cai, and others ended successfully with even better results than expected; next was only actual combat opportunities.
This aspect had always been handled by Tie Lu, but after more than a week, there was still no result.
It couldn’t be said that Captain Tie lacked ability; applying for a actual combat opportunity was so slow, and after waiting more than a week, nothing was obtained.
It was really that the country was sufficiently safe, unlike some countries with gunfights every day.
To strive for an actual combat opportunity, and one requiring special forces deployment, the combat scope would be infinitely compressed.
Except for smuggling gangs on the southwest border, nowhere else could be found.
Only extremely wicked smuggling gangs would carry large amounts of lethal weapons for smuggling, requiring the army to strike them.
Fully armed and extremely wicked smuggling gangs, the police had no way to deal with them.
With Captain Tie Lu not finding an opportunity, the international special operations competition selection was already imminent; Chen Jun was actually quite anxious.
Unfortunately, being anxious was useless; this depended on luck.
Unable to wait, they could only patiently wait, comforting themselves that this idle time was just for the crowd tormented for more than a week to rest, recover, and adjust during this period.
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
With only three days left before the competition, time was completely insufficient.
Chen Jun could only make a second plan: if no actual combat courage training opportunity came, they could only go to the martial arts competition like this.
Captain Tie Lu finally brought news.
The police on the southwest side received the latest intelligence: a smuggling gang would sneak a batch of drugs through the primitive jungle in the next two days.
And the intelligence specifically mentioned that this smuggling gang was no ordinary group.
They were a famous smuggling gang in the Golden Triangle, entrenched there for over twenty years, developing into the largest smuggling gang.
Not only did they have over a hundred backbone villains, but they were also equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower equipment.
Heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers…
All kinds of weapons were available!
Even though these weapons were outdated, all leftovers from the Cold War era, their lethality was real and tangible.
Hitting people could kill them, and artillery shells could blast people into the sky.
Facing this armed-to-the-teeth, extremely dangerous armed smuggling gang, the police there really found it very tricky.
Having special forces assist in capturing them, the anti-drug police there were more than happy.
After confirming the intelligence reliability and obtaining superior action approval, Captain Tie Lu immediately issued the action order.
Cheng Cai and others, who had rested and adjusted for four days, all received the combat operation notification order.
The armory door opened at this time, and everyone immediately collected combat supplies according to actual combat standards, required to be ready within one hour.
Chen Jun and Yuan Lang were called to the office for a pre-action meeting with Captain Tie Lu.
After all, it was leading a group of “new recruits” who had never fought actual combat to battle a group of extremely wicked thugs; any negligence could really kill people.
As the captain of old A, Tie Lu had to make full preparations.
While the two team leaders were in the meeting, the team members preparing weaponry and equipment had different thoughts about the combat operation.
“I say, kitchen knife, how are you planning to mess with us this time?”
Wu Zhe moved a box of ammunition into the car, asking Qi Huan with a teasing tone; he really didn’t believe this combat operation was real.
“Combat operation? Ghost would believe it; last time you tricked us around in circles.” Cheng Cai said.
“Now the country is so peaceful, no wars to fight; at most a few small-time thieves, police are enough, no need for us at all; where’s the combat operation?” Tuo Yonggang also expressed strong skepticism.
Wu Liu Yi didn’t speak, but from his expression, it was clear he thought it was another exercise.
The boy who cried wolf story was perfectly performed here.
“Now my status is the same as yours, brothers fighting side by side; don’t be so hostile.”
Qi Huan packed the combat vest into the backpack, saying while packing: “Though I didn’t ask the captain, based on my personal experience judgment, this time it’s probably real; you’re likely to see blood.”
“Hahaha.”
Wu Zhe laughed loudly upon hearing: “You just said we’re already brothers; with your mouth running the train, is this what you call brothers?”
“Yeah, if we’re really brothers, can you tell the truth?” Cheng Cai echoed.
“Spade, oil drum, you don’t believe me; can’t you look at the guns? They’re loaded with live ammunition.” Qi Huan pointed at the guns on them.
This oil drum was Cheng Cai’s codename, personally given by Yuan Lang.
The reason for such a codename was that Cheng Cai was very slick in dealing with people; in slang, his personality was very oily.
Oil drum fit his image perfectly!
“Last time someone labeled blank ammunition as live ammo and gave it to us, even with a plastic fake bullet head, making it look real.” Wu Zhe countered.
“Won’t you take a bullet out and check? Whether it’s plastic or real bullet head, just pinch it with your hand.” Qi Huan said disdainfully.
“Fair enough.”
Seeing Qi Huan insisting, Wu Zhe simply verified, shouting to the side: “Xu Sanduo, check the bullet head.”
Xu Sanduo had been sitting silently; when told to do something, he was very straightforward.
He immediately unloaded the magazine from his 95-style rifle, pushed out a bullet with his finger, put the bullet head in his mouth, and bit it with his teeth.
Then he seriously replied: “The bullet head is very hard, can’t bite it at all; it’s definitely live ammunition.”
Hearing Xu Sanduo’s definite answer, the skeptic Wu Zhe still didn’t fully believe, questioning: “Yo, this acting is well-prepared; since even the bullets were tampered with in advance.
Probably to trick us into soaking, they removed the gunpowder inside.”
If not for the strict regulations against shooting outside the shooting range, Wu Zhe would have wanted to disengage the safety and fire a shot into the sky.
“Spade, this time it might really be real.”
Wu Liu Yi saw the live bullet and his expression turned serious, overturning his previous judgment: “During the previous desensitization training, I couldn’t figure out what it meant, why suddenly such strange training.
But now I seem to get it; if this is really a combat operation, doing desensitization training beforehand makes perfect sense.”
Wu Liu Yi mentioning the previous desensitization training changed everyone’s faces.
Doing desensitization training before combat operation to adapt to the killing feeling on the battlefield; the front and back connected perfectly.
“Scythe makes a good point; could it be… this time it’s really actual combat?” Tuo Yonggang widened his eyes.
Actual combat really made people uncontrollably nervous!
“Eagle, have you thought that maybe the previous training was also paving the way, just to make us believe it’s actual combat, so they brought us here?”
Wu Zhe analyzed from another angle; his skepticism wasn’t unfounded.
The crowd, who had just believed it was actual combat and felt extremely heavy-hearted, immediately fell into wavering again.
“Actual combat? Or acting?”
Everyone was really confused, completely bewildered.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Chen Jun and Yuan Lang came down from the meeting, already wearing their combat gear.
“Chen Jun, time is tight; no need to assemble; just have them all get in the car and prepare to depart.”
Yuan Lang gave Chen Jun the order, then ran to the front vehicle.
“Yes!”
Chen Jun, just assigned as action deputy captain, came to the team and asked: “Time is almost up; is everything prepared?”
“All prepared; this is the last bag.”
Qi Huan threw the bag in his hand into the car; there were no items left on the ground.
“Good, then get in the car; depart.”
Chen Jun issued the order and headed straight for the passenger seat.
“Get in the car, get in the car; preparing to go.”
With Qi Huan’s shout, Cheng Cai, Xu Sanduo, and others temporarily stopped thinking and ran to the car, climbing in through the rear door.
“The acting is getting more and more realistic; if this were for filming, it could win a big award.”
Wu Zhe was still skeptical, muttering to himself as he followed everyone into the car; the top student’s brain started spinning wildly.
Thinking about how to catch the fox’s tail in the coming time.
“Time is still rushed; hope everything goes smoothly.”
Tie Lu stood by the window watching the car leave, frowning with some worry.
