Chapter 1: Rising From Trainee Soldier
“Did I transmigrate?”
“Or is it Steel Seventh Company?”
“Soul transmigration start? Became a military academy graduate? Acting Squad Leader of Third Squad?”
Chen Jun looked at Company Commander Gao Cheng on the parade ground outside the cadre building, seriously instructing Shi Jin.
This time going to the local area to participate in winter conscription work, he must get a few good seedlings for Seventh Company; his emotions were truly mixed.
Chen Jun’s original name was Cheng Long, a rare double transmigrator.
He not only grew from an ordinary enlisted private soldier, through his own unremitting struggle and effort, ultimately becoming the republic’s top special operations ace instructor.
But also from the most ordinary grassroots private, all the way promoted to officer and grew into the chief of staff of the special operations brigade, finally jumping three levels to be promoted to combined arms division commander.
The result was that just as he reached life’s peak, he suddenly returned to the place where the dream began.
This feeling was very strange.
Both fantastical and real.
Fortunately, as a veteran transmigrator with three lifetimes, Chen Jun quickly adjusted his mentality and accepted his current new identity.
And in an extremely short time, he set a new life goal for himself.
As the saying goes: Since you’re here, settle in.
Since heaven gave him another chance to start over, he had to make this life spectacular, must be more wonderful than the previous one.
In the previous life, he played special forces soldier to the peak, becoming a pioneer of modern special forces.
Then this life, play something different.
Play something with high difficulty.
Something challenging.
Starting from the current minor acting squad leader position, open a brand new, untraveled officer growth path, leading Steel Seventh Company forward together.
Let Steel Seventh Company, which was supposed to be reorganized, under his own efforts, thrive and grow into a new troops—
New type digitalized combined arms Steel Seventh Division!
Let Steel Seventh Company, which was brutally beaten by the Blue Army in various ways and lost miserably in the original drama, pull off a reversal Heavenly Dipper, becoming the Blue Army’s whetstone.
Let the Blue Army, which always has its nose in the air, feel the pressure of the incoming Red Army!!
“From Steel Seventh Company to Steel Seventh Division, this difficulty is really not ordinary; starting with hell-level difficulty, it really makes adrenaline surge.”
Thinking of setting such a high, almost impossible goal for himself.
Chen Jun felt no pressure, instead full of fighting spirit.
“However, to make it possible for Steel Seventh Company to evolve into Steel Seventh Division, it must cross a major hurdle, that is, to find a way to make the mechanized infantry division and Eighty-fourth Group Army abandon the idea of reorganizing Steel Seventh Company; Steel Seventh Company must ‘survive’ to complete this challenge.”
Chen Jun muttered to himself while pondering; after thinking for a moment, his gaze was firm: “This challenge difficulty is very great, but it’s not without a method.
As long as the approach and method are right, actually, the success probability is quite high.”
Chen Jun’s understanding of《Soldiers Sortie》 was already deep in his bones; by sorting through the entire process, he immediately found the key point to create a miracle.
The reason Steel Seventh Company was selected for reorganization, while Red Third Company and Great Merit Sixth Company and other companies with slightly inferior strength survived.
The root cause…
Made strong by being the strongest in the entire 702 Regiment, defeated also by being the strongest in the entire 702 Regiment.
To break this situation is actually not difficult: either go up to the peak, so strong that people are reluctant to reorganize.
Or go down, deliberately weaken strength, let the company lack so many excellent backbones, unable to scatter as stars across the sky, equivalent to swapping identity with Red Third Company.
The latter is definitely not feasible.
Gao Cheng is notoriously arrogant; right now he’s instructing Shi Jin to find more good seedlings, now asking him to proactively send all the company’s backbone forces to other companies, might as well kill him.
Moreover.
With Chen Jun’s current mere cadet soldier identity, he doesn’t have that much influence over Gao Cheng.
Then only the former remains—
Evolve to invincible strength!
Currently, Steel Seventh Company’s strength is very strong, but only at regiment level.
Going higher, it’s not enough.
And a company assembled with the regiment’s elite seedlings, if it can’t shoulder the role of “arrowhead”, embodying the value that the main artery absolutely cannot be moved.
Then under the great wave of modern military reform, its ending is only one—
Since it can’t go up, it can only be dismantled.
In the few months before Steel Seventh Company’s reorganization, the military region deliberately arranged a mountain exercise against the Blue Army, actually to give Steel Seventh Company a final “score”.
If it beat the Blue Army led by Tie Lu, Steel Seventh Company probably wouldn’t be reorganized.
Unfortunately, it lost!
So division headquarters resolutely decided to “scatter as stars across the sky” for Steel Seventh Company, dispersing the officers and soldiers across the regiment through reorganization, enhancing the overall strength of the regiment.
In summary, one sentence.
Steel Seventh Company is a bit strong, but not strong enough.
Since the “root cause” has been found, Chen Jun can solve it by treating the symptoms.
The method is very simple, yet very difficult.
Suppose Steel Seventh Company has absolute crushing strength, invincible at the same level whether Red Army or Blue Army, can even hard fight across levels.
Combat concept sufficiently modern informatized, top benchmark company globally.
Then Chen Jun dares to guarantee 100%, Steel Seventh Company will absolutely become a treasure everyone wants and fights over.
Rather than ending up dismantled to strengthen the whole regiment.
As long as invincible!
Who would bear to reorganize?? Brain messed up?
That’s the reasoning, that’s how simple it is.
But to accomplish this simple reasoning is nightmare-level difficulty.
To complete this epic evolution for Steel Seventh Company, to succeed in this impossible task challenge, no one in this era can do it.
Even if someone thinks of it, they can’t do it.
Gao Cheng can’t, Regiment Commander Wang can’t, even Yuan Lang can’t.
Only one person might be able to do it…
That’s Chen Jun!
Chen Jun is not a person of this era; not only does he have experience creating modern special operations, he also participated in building the first generation new type digitalized combined arms division, has sufficient capital for this challenge.
Having sorted out the ins and outs of the whole matter, Chen Jun immediately turned the idea into a plan.
“From Gao Cheng and Shi Jin’s conversation, the current timeline should still be at the front of the plot, that is, Shi Jin and Red Third Company Political Instructor He Hongtao are preparing to depart to the local area for recruiting, still about two months before Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cai arrive, there’s enough time to prepare.”
Chen Jun pondered silently, for the two-month gap before the new recruits arrive, a detailed plan formed in his mind.
First thing first—
Strive to improve personal strength!
To forge iron, one must be strong oneself.
The army is a place where strength matters; with strength one gains respect and status, with status one has right to speak, with right to speak one can build “Steel Seventh Division”.
In the previous life, Chen Jun was the strongest tough guy, his physical fitness he dares say second, no one dares first, able to support him completing all tactical movements.
But now this soul-transmigrated acting squad leader has too big a gap in physical fitness compared to the previous life.
It’s the difference between heaven and earth.
Previous life was a two-meter tall giant, with Schwarzenegger’s build, able to hold dozens of pounds of Type 89 heavy machine gun in his arms and sweep.
Now height is okay at 89 meters, but weight is merely 130 jin, thirty-plus jin below standard weight.
With this telephone pole-like body, it will inevitably severely limit personal ability.
Definitely need to find a way to improve.
Moreover, poor physical fitness isn’t the biggest problem; what’s on the shoulders isn’t military rank, but a red epaulet that’s the real trouble.
What does this represent?
This means Chen Jun is still just a cadet.
Outsiders may not understand what cadet means, but Chen Jun knows it clearly in his heart.
