Chapter 114: Nine Consecutive Wins, Forging A Legendary Lieutenant!
The 702nd Regiment shattered every competition record of T Division, equivalent to a collective reset, dooming the evening after the second day of competition to be extremely tough.
The thrill of winning big kept them from sleeping, and the agony of losing badly kept them from sleeping too.
And this was just the development, far from the end.
When the third day’s Division Grand Competition unfolded amid a stifling gloom that made it hard to breathe, the opening delivered another heavy blow to the other regiments.
The morning vehicle-mounted machine gun precision shooting competition, and the afternoon 10km light load cross-country team event.
Once again, the 702nd Regiment crushed them!
Even in the afternoon’s armored vehicle mountainous terrain obstacle course and 400m obstacle individual events, where the 702nd Regiment didn’t send Chen Jun as the main force, it didn’t make much difference.
The continuous high-intensity competitions were simply too many; even someone as strong as Chen Jun needed rest and adjustment.
Only then could he deliver the most perfect curtain-call performance in tomorrow’s final closing battle, perfectly bookending the Division Grand Competition from start to finish.
Why didn’t it make much difference?
Because with the 702nd Regiment taking the 10km light load cross-country win, it meant they had achieved a terrifying 10 consecutive wins, signifying that the victor of the competition had already emerged.
The single competition record for most consecutive wins and most individual first places were both magnificently reset to 10 consecutive wins.
This was an unbelievable result, one no one would believe if told; it foreshadowed that this Division Record would likely become T Division’s permanent record.
Even if T Division ceased to exist in the future, the terrifying 10 consecutive wins record would remain unbreakable.
In past Division Grand Competitions, the 702nd Regiment was just a guest; now the tables had turned, and this year it was at our house— all other regiments became the 702nd Regiment’s guests.
The morale and drive of the other regiments and Reconnaissance Battalion in the competition were completely crushed and eliminated.
Even as the 701st Regiment threw in all its competitors and barely took the armored vehicle mountainous terrain obstacle course, last competition’s runner-up finally broke their duck egg.
The Division Reconnaissance Battalion took the 400m obstacle individual, refreshing their individual first places to three.
But they couldn’t be happy about it; it had no effect at all.
At most, they felt a slight consolation, comforting themselves: “Finally ended the 702nd Regiment’s terrifying domination, preventing them from sweeping the entire Division Grand Competition.”
Right.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a clean sweep.
Otherwise, the other three regiments, one squadron, plus the Reconnaissance Battalion—over a hundred competitors in total—would have no face to go home after the competition ended.
Compared to the other regiments being stunned, with smiles completely gone from their faces.
The 702nd Regiment was the polar opposite—
One could say they were basking in glory!
High Cheng and Regiment Commander Wang’s mouths were crooked from smiling—not to mention that wherever they went, they held their chins at 45 degrees; no matter who from T Division they met on the road, upon hearing they were from the 702nd Regiment, they would immediately snap to attention and look up with respect.
That feeling of completely conquering people with strength was unprecedentedly refreshing.
High Cheng and Regiment Commander Wang both expressed…
They were totally hooked!
Especially after the third day’s competition, the two of them, along with this time’s standout Chen Jun, were invited to dine with the Division Commander, and after eating, there was a special small program.
They were warmly invited by the Division Commander to the small conference room for a face-to-face in-depth conversation.
During which they gave the 702nd Regiment extremely high praise and expectations.
That scene of being treated like a treasure by T Division leaders and distinctly differently from other regiments—even steady Chen Jun felt exhilarated.
Realizing that his Combined Arms Company transformation plan now basically had no pressure left.
In this strange atmosphere where the overall outcome was already decided, the fourth day’s competition curtain rose, with everyone reassembling at the competition field.
Perhaps because the Division Grand Competition outcome was set, and both first places in the two Division Grand Competitions were determined.
The competitors from each regiment no longer had the drive to fight for first place; emotions returned to calm, and the atmosphere at the competition field was no longer as oppressive as before.
It even started heating up again, overflowing with the pure spirit that had been absent for so long—
Friendship first, competition second.
With the relaxed mindset of “since we can’t win anyway, just focus on participation,” the battlefield first aid project ended in an atmosphere with almost no competition.
Everyone gave it enthusiastic applause, whether winners or losers.
The Helicopter Squadron took first in battlefield first aid, defeating the dominant Reconnaissance Battalion and 701st Regiment, somewhat beyond everyone’s expectations.
However.
And the 702nd Regiment only took fifth in this project, which made all the competitors and leaders at the scene fully realize one thing.
That the 702nd Regiment was so strong mainly because of one competitor.
He alone, with his perverted strength and almost all-around developed octagonal strength in running and shooting, single-handedly carried the 702nd Regiment to their current results.
This person was Chen Jun!
If there were no Chen Jun in the 702nd Regiment, a very shocking phenomenon would emerge.
That the projects the 702nd Regiment could win were actually very, very few—not to mention 10 consecutive wins breaking records; even two consecutive wins would be tough.
One person carrying an entire regiment, forcibly turning team overall strength tests into a personal show stage.
This sounds impossible.
Yet it became reality.
The competitors from other regiments felt they lost unfairly; such a perverted-level military genius is a once-in-a-century rarity, with the last one that exaggerated already in army history books.
But such a low-probability event had to happen to them.
How could this not make people cry foul!
Yet as competitors, they had to concede; after all, he won with hard power, no tricks at all— a convincing loss.
In the end, the summary was just two words.
Unlucky!!
And after helplessly shouting “unlucky” with bitter laughs, the competitors whose mindsets were completely relaxed suddenly had a flash of insight and laughed, feeling very fortunate.
A once-in-a-century perverted-level military genius they got to encounter and have the honor of being competitors against.
What kind of luck was that.
Losing to an average person is nothing to brag about, but losing to such a perverted-level military genius means even a loss scores full points.
They could even use it as bragging capital over tea and dinner.
Boastfully saying: “See that? The guy on the newspaper who’s strong beyond reason—I was his competitor back then. If not for being a bit off my game, I definitely could’ve beaten him.”
Whether others believe it or not, at least the first half is true.
Bragging, after all.
Half true, half false—plenty good enough.
With no results from the 702nd Regiment in the penultimate project, the final closing battle soon arrived—10 kilometers cross-country with load individual.
As the final project of this Division Grand Competition, the grandstand was already filled with Division leaders.
And when Chen Jun, already famous throughout T Division for creating the individual nine consecutive wins miracle, this perverted-level competitor, appeared once more in the competitor lineup.
Everyone spectating from the Division Commander down to the competitors got excited again at that moment.
And the competitors standing at the starting line were all excited at this moment too.
This was their last chance to compete on the same stage with Chen Jun, this legendary First Lieutenant—no matter the final competition results, it would be a highlight of their lives; how could such an opportunity not excite them.
