Chapter 120: Chapter 121: Insane Training
Wanting to improve the rookies’ tacit understanding in a short time, Gao Zhong Dui was very troubled by this matter.
“Looks like I need to come up with some special method.”
Sitting in the office, Gao Zhong Dui frowned and pondered over the draft paper on the table with the four big words “Training Plan” written on it.
What kind of training plan should he arrange for Chang Ning and the others to improve their tacit understanding level in a short time.
Chang Ning does not belong to Group B so training can be excluded, but until specific arrangements for Chang Ning come down from above, Chang Ning has to eat, live, and train with Group B, possibly even go on missions together. In short, Chang Ning is flexible work.
So when Gao Zhong Dui is cultivating the tacit understanding of Group B members, he still cannot leave Chang Ning aside unattended. Who knows when above might let Chang Ning join a mission too.
“This time it’s really tight on time and heavy on tasks.”
Gao Zhong Dui felt like he was holding a hot potato in his hands, and most importantly, he could not pass it to someone else.
Actually, although their Lone Wolf Commando Unit says on the surface that they are the special forces among special forces, a non-existent shadow unit.
But in reality, anyone with a bit of background knows about their Lone Wolf. Under this kind of exposure, Gao Zhong Dui did not think they still qualified to claim the “shadow unit” title. It was completely undeserved.
Therefore, Xiao Zhuang’s Group B came into being.
Learning from the previous failures of Gao Zhong Dui’s Group A, Wolf Fang’s superior leaders were fully prepared this time to make Group B a true shadow unit and the sharp sword of the Southeast Military Region!
The superiors attached great importance to Xiao Zhuang and them. How could Gao Zhong Dui let someone else handle the task of training Group B? He had to personally handle everything.
Gao Zhong Dui is now Group B’s chief instructor and logistics personnel, responsible for their food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Now he had to worry about improving the tacit understanding between Group B members and Chang Ning and the others in a short time, which exhausted Gao Zhong Dui.
In the 026 Logistics Warehouse combat meeting room, Chang Ning and Group B members sat properly in their seats waiting for Gao Zhong Dui to introduce the next phase’s training plan to them.
They were originally supposed to be doing indoor close-quarters combat training, but it had to be paused due to tacit understanding issues.
“Next, I won’t tell you about the training content for improving tacit understanding, because if you know the answer in advance, the subsequent training will seem meaningless.”
Hearing this, and seeing Gao Zhong Dui’s expression that clearly indicated he was up to something, Chang Ning was so scared his asshole tightened.
No one wants to be the one getting screwed over, especially Chang Ning who had witnessed Gao Zhong Dui’s methods and did not want it even more.
But Chang Ning knew he was just a little rookie now, with no qualification to be picky, and Gao Zhong Dui was their chief instructor, their direct superior, so he had even less right to say no.
Group B members felt the same as Chang Ning, saddened by the tragic life they did not know how many days they would have to endure ahead.
Everyone did not show it outwardly, even the usually most hyper Ostrich, known as the number one at courting death, started keeping quiet.
Having been tormented by Gao Zhong Dui for so long, everyone knew his routines like the back of their hand.
If they asked about the training plan when Gao Zhong Dui explicitly said he would not tell them, what awaited them would be hundreds of push-ups or at least a five-kilometer armed cross-country.
These were all lessons learned by Chang Ning and the others with their own sweat.
Seeing the rookies unusually not asking him questions, Gao Zhong Dui felt gratified inside, sighing that the rookies had grown up.
Was it easy for him? This was special forces, where asking questions was the biggest taboo.
What you need to know will naturally be told to you. Since the military commander did not say, it means this matter cannot be casually revealed.
In a place like special forces, confidentiality awareness must be strong when serving!
“Hui Lang, give the thing to the rookies. For this stuff, I specially went to logistics and stuffed several packs of good cigarettes to someone there.”
Thinking of the several packs he gave away, Gao Zhong Dui felt a bit heartbroken. Those were his rations.
Seeing the paintball gun in their hands, Chang Ning and Group B members’ eyes flashed with understanding. This kind of gun was eliminated after blank rounds and the new sensing system were invented.
Now to find usable ones, unless buying from outside. This thing might have all been disposed of in Wolf Fang’s warehouse. For Gao Zhong Dui to find some guns, he must have put in tremendous effort.
“Right, stick this on.”
Hui Lang took out red magic stickers from his pocket and handed them to Geng Jihui.
“These magic stickers are fluorescent, easy to identify.”
After seeing Chang Ning and Group B members sling the guns properly and stick on the magic stickers, Gao Zhong Dui said: “Friendly reminder, from now on, you must not let the gun leave your body, even when you are using the toilet!
Alright, dismissed!”
After saying that, Gao Zhong Dui led Group A and the others out in a rush, leaving the rookies looking at each other in bewilderment.
Chang Ning now also could not figure out what medicine Gao Zhong Dui was selling in his gourd. Was it to make them get used to the feeling of the weapon on their body?
Chang Ning thought things were not that simple.
“Alright, everyone stop guessing. I say we respond to changes with no change. Gao Zhong Dui’s intentions will be exposed sooner or later.”
Xiao Zhuang was not anxious at all. Having fought wits and courage with Gao Zhong Dui for so long, he knew being anxious now was useless.
After all, their routines were too deep. With their current level, it was better not to think about fighting Gao Zhong Dui.
With Chang Ning’s help, Xiao Zhuang did not throw a tantrum at Gao Zhong Dui like in the original plot.
On the contrary, after witnessing Gao Zhong Dui’s methods, he chose to lie flat.
“Xiao Zhuang is right. Currently, the intelligence Gao Zhong Dui revealed to us is too little. We can’t deduce anything.”
Qiang Zi also supported Xiao Zhuang’s view.
Chang Ning and Geng Jihui exchanged a glance, and from his eyes, Chang Ning saw that Geng Jihui was also completely confused now.
“Then let’s go back to eat first.”
Chang Ning suggested. It was almost mealtime, and rare for Group A not to drill them.
Not being proactive about eating means there’s a problem with your brain!
Seeing Chang Ning nod at him with a “got it” expression, Geng Jihui was baffled.
He did not do anything just now. What did Chang Ning see from him to show that expression?
Ever since the vacation ended, Chang Ning’s actions had become increasingly strange.
With someone taking the lead, everyone was naturally happy to go to the cafeteria for meals. Special forces meals were really good, much better than what they ate in the reconnaissance company.
“Should we send someone to interfere?”
Watching the rookies eating happily through the monitor, Hui Lang suddenly felt the meal he just got from the cafeteria was not tasty anymore.
“No rush. This is their last peaceful meal before their tacit understanding improves.”
Gao Zhong Dui said while eating his meal.
Previous tacit understanding training took too long, and what he lacked most now was time, so Gao Zhong Dui had to come up with a quick method.
However, quick methods were also harmful to the body. Gao Zhong Dui did not expect he would soon have to greet the new military doctor.
The thing was, Gao Zhong Dui was not a professional trainer, but relying on his rich experience, he could tell at a glance that his training plan posed huge harm to the body.
This was the only training plan he could think of to improve Group B’s tacit understanding in a short time, but the harm of this plan was enormous.
Just as Gao Zhong Dui wanted to abandon this plan, the new military doctor Tong Youyou entered his sight.
“Ah, how did I forget her!”
Even if she got in through connections, Tong Youyou’s resume was very impressive.
Without solid skills, even with connections, it would be impossible to enter Wolf Fang. First off, He Da Dui’s hurdle would be hard to pass.
Everyone in Wolf Fang up and down knew He Da Dui’s character. No one had deeper feelings for Wolf Fang than He Da Dui, so no one objected to Tong Youyou entering Wolf Fang through connections.
They all trusted He Da Dui’s judgment.
“Dr. Tong, I have something I want to consult you about.”
Gao Zhong Dui quickly called out to Tong Youyou walking on the tree-lined path.
“Gao Zhong Dui?”
Hearing someone call her from behind, Tong Youyou turned around and was quite surprised to see it was Gao Zhong Dui.
Except for the last time cooperating with Gao Zhong Dui on Wolf Fang’s newcomer selection, Tong Youyou rarely saw Gao Zhong Dui again, even though they now both belonged to Wolf Fang.
“Dr. Tong, it’s like this…”
Gao Zhong Dui quickly stepped forward and unfolded the square-folded training plan to introduce it to Tong Youyou.
Whether his current difficulty could be resolved depended on Tong Youyou. Gao Zhong Dui had seen Tong Youyou’s information; professional matters should be handled by professionals.
“Gao Zhong Dui, who wrote this training plan of yours? Following the previous training would cause huge damage to the trainees’ physical functions…”
Tong Youyou kept talking non-stop, critiquing Gao Zhong Dui’s training plan as useless, of course from a medical perspective.
If not considering damage to the human body, the training plan Gao Zhong Dui showed her was very effective, which Tong Youyou would not deny.
“I wrote it myself. I came to you to ask for your help to see if there’s any way to eliminate this damage.”
Gao Zhong Dui laid it all out openly and stated his needs straightforwardly.
“Alright, I can think of a way for you.”
Tong Youyou tucked the hair by her temple behind her ear. The damage to the body from Gao Zhong Dui’s training plan was a moderate challenge for her, but not enough to leave her helpless.
She was a genuine doctorate doctor plus a proper traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. This level of damage was not irreversible; she could prescribe some Chinese medicine for conditioning after training to help recovery.
Mainly, Chang Ning was now also under Gao Zhong Dui’s training, giving her a chance to secretly observe Chang Ning from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective.
“Then I’ll trouble Dr. Tong. Also, please come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Tong Youyou agree to solve the physical damage issue, Gao Zhong Dui felt much relieved.
Possibly due to military reform, their special forces squadron had been extremely busy lately. Just these two days of researching information had kept him on his toes.
Plus worrying about Chang Ning and Group B’s rookies, Gao Zhong Dui wished he could clone himself.
At night, outside Lone Wolf Group B dormitory, Gao Zhong Dui led Hui Lang and others listening to the snoring from inside the dormitory. He glanced at his wristwatch; the time was 3 a.m.
“Let’s begin.”
Gao Zhong Dui nodded and loaded the paintball gun in his hand.
After Hui Lang and the comrades were ready, they pushed open Group B’s dormitory door and threw several laced tear gas grenades inside one after another.
The dormitory was instantly filled with high-concentration tear gas.
Smelling the familiar gas, Chang Ning knew things were not simple. First tear gas grenades, then what?
Chang Ning and Group B members, with snot and tears streaming, hurriedly put on clothes and tried to run outside the dormitory, but Gao Zhong Dui and the others did not intend to give Chang Ning and Group B this chance.
The magic stickers Hui Lang gave them to stick on their clothes this afternoon had identification function, plus Gao Zhong Dui came prepared tonight with night vision goggles for each person. In the darkness, the magic stickers on Chang Ning and their clothes were the best markers.
After rushing into the dormitory, Group A people poured paintballs at Chang Ning and them with paintball guns.
The guns were modified; paintballs hitting the body would cause either swelling or bruising.
At this time, some of Chang Ning and Group B had not even finished putting on clothes, and for a moment, screams filled the dormitory.
“Everyone out for assembly!”
Seeing it was about enough, Gao Zhong Dui ordered the people inside the dormitory to assemble outside.
“Look at your coordination today. It’s rotten like dog shit!
Are the guns I gave you this afternoon fire sticks?!
From today on, you will be attacked at any time and any place. If any one of you gets killed, wait for punishment.
Everyone, target sports field, run ten kilometers!”
Chang Ning and they were beaten black and blue, every step hurting terribly.
Looking at the rookies grimacing and gasping, Gao Zhong Dui expressionlessly roared: “Stop. Did not Hui Lang tell you when you moved in that weapons must be carried at all times?
Go back and get your weapons. This time it’s twenty kilometers!”
At this moment, Chang Ning and their suffering began.
Because they not only had to be on guard against attacks from Group A at any time but also fully focus on learning various special skills.
“Can anyone tell me what the essence of combat is?”
The instructor responsible for teaching combat to the rookies shouted loudly by the mud pit.
At the bottom of the mud pit were Chang Ning, Xiao Zhuang, and them. Unlike other rookies, they all had paintball guns issued by Hui Lang on their backs.
These past few days, the rookies felt tormented to the point of nervous breakdown. If not for the location, the rookies would think they were still in Wolf Fang’s selection training camp undergoing hell week training.
“Report, the essence of combat is to knock down or kill the opponent.”
Chang Ning answered.
“Well said, that’s its purpose.
What I mean is combat is simple. You just need to remember that so-called combat is blocking and counterattack!
As long as you are fast enough, strong enough, and know how to block and counterattack, you are a combat expert.”
The instructor stood by the mud pit, talking eloquently, imparting his understanding and insights on combat to the rookies.
“Then how do we improve our blocking and counterattack abilities?”
Chang Ning asked.
Chang Ning had an unusual obsession with combat. Last time on the street, failing to take down a lanky “groping” guy was a black history he could not shake off.
He wanted to become an excellent person, and excellent people do not allow obvious shortcomings.
“Very simple, just take beatings.”
The flat-topped combat instructor bared his white teeth and smiled at Chang Ning.
Wanting to learn to hit people without first taking hits? No way.
For the first time, Chang Ning had a bad premonition. He discovered that Wolf Fang’s instructors all had some special little quirks.
For example, this combat instructor looked short and stocky, with a square face that gave a honest impression when smiling.
Who would think this thick-browed, big-eyed guy actually wanted to beat up these poor little rookies.
Was there still justice? Was there still law?
If not for this guy being personally acknowledged by Gao Zhong Dui as the second strongest in combat in all of Wolf Fang, he would want to quit.
Of course, Chang Ning just thought about these things in his mind; he had no qualification to be picky.
In Wolf Fang, Gao Zhong Dui’s combat ability was ceiling-level. Someone acknowledged by Gao Zhong Dui definitely had remarkable combat skills.
“Watch out!”
The speaker was Geng Jihui; his peripheral vision caught Group A members holding paintball guns.
Recently, Chang Ning and they had gained some experience. Hearing Geng Jihui’s warning, they immediately reacted.
They quickly occupied advantageous terrain, but it was useless; they were in the mud pit now, where was there any terrain?
If any, it would only be advantageous for Group A.
Chang Ning and they could only back-to-back to prevent Group A from annihilating them all.
Unfortunately, with Chang Ning and their current strength, defeating Group A was still difficult, even with someone like Chang Ning whose marksmanship was superb; they could not turn the tide for the moment.
Because as long as one of them got killed, they all had to accept punishment.
“Everyone, five hundred push-ups!”
Chang Ning looked at the mud not even halfway up his calves. Alright, this style was indeed very Wolf Fang.
“When will this damn training end!”
Ostrich grimaced; every push-up buried his face in the mud once.
“When your tacit understanding improves, I will stop this training.”
Seeing Gao Zhong Dui had not left, Ostrich’s face changed drastically and he obediently shut up to do push-ups, as if the complainer just now was not him.
Ostrich was really afraid Gao Zhong Dui would use this to add more push-ups for them. There was still combat class next; even if he could not beat the instructor, he did not want to take extra punches due to lack of stamina.
This level of physical fitness training was still acceptable to Chang Ning; his stamina several times that of ordinary people was his source of confidence.
Just now, he “killed” one of Group A’s members, but they were all hooded so he did not know which unlucky guy it was.
Based on Chang Ning’s understanding of Gao Zhong Dui, the fate of that “killed” Group A member would be even worse than theirs.
Everyone panted slightly after finishing the push-ups. Seeing Chang Ning completely unaffected and standing out from the crowd, the combat instructor’s eyes lit up.
The foundation of combat is having a good body. With Chang Ning’s physical quality, as long as he had a bit of combat talent, he was destined not to be weak in close-quarters combat in the future.
“I observed just now; your physical qualities are all decent.
Especially this rookie standing right in front of me, the one with the best stamina in the squad. I now formally invite you to be the first to receive my training.”
The combat instructor gave Chang Ning plenty of face, showering him with complimentary words.
No matter what his fate would be next, at least now Chang Ning felt willing to exchange a few moves with this honest-looking combat instructor in front of him.
‘Huh? Something’s off!’
Chang Ning instantly sobered up. He was not a masochist.
Just now, for some reason, seeing the combat instructor’s serious expression made his brain heat up and want to spar with the instructor immediately.
With his combat level not even reaching three-legged cat kung fu, going up would just mean getting beaten in minutes.
But looking at today’s situation, he could not escape becoming a sandbag.
Wolf Fang was indeed full of hidden talents. Who would think the combat instructor was also proficient in psychology.
Chang Ning turned back and exchanged glances with Xiao Zhuang and them one by one; the scene had quite the atmosphere of “the wind howls like the cold waters of Yi”, but unfortunately Group B’s guys were not Yan Dan; these guys were gloating.
Chang Ning sighed inwardly about poor choice of friends. Did they not know his fate would be theirs? Yet they still had the mind to gloat!
Looking at Chang Ning full of tragic resolve with eyes showing apprehension, the combat instructor was baffled.
He did not know what was up with Chang Ning. He was just inviting Chang Ning to be his sandbag.
Cough, to be a teaching aid to demonstrate for other rookies. Was there any need for such a strange expression?
Everyone in Wolf Fang knew he was the most reasonable and polite instructor.
After Chang Ning climbed out of the mud pit, the combat instructor said to him: “You can attack me now.”
Hearing the order, Chang Ning unhesitatingly threw a punch at the instructor’s face.
Chang Ning had no qualms; with his level, hurting the instructor would require much more practice, at least to generate a combat experience bar in the system.
“Did you give your combat back to your squad leader?”
Chang Ning’s punch left his midsection wide open; the combat instructor now had no less than ten ways to kill Chang Ning in mind.
“Plop”
This was the sound of Chang Ning being kicked back into the mud pit.
The combat instructor chose a gentle method to defeat Chang Ning; only kicking him back into the mud pit could minimize the damage to him.
In Group B’s line, Lao Pao inexplicably took the hit.
Chang Ning was ultimately assigned to their squad, but after Chang Ning joined his squad, first there was a leader inspection, then an exercise, and finally Wolf Fang selection. Where was the time to teach combat?
He thought Old Ma the squad leader had taught Chang Ning; Lao Pao did not want to take this blame.
“Report, I had very little contact with combat training before!”
Chang Ning wiped the mud stuck to his eyelids with his hand and explained loudly.
“Like that? Then come up first and we’ll continue.”
The combat instructor’s interest in Chang Ning skyrocketed inwardly. Having very little prior contact with combat meant Chang Ning was a blank slate.
With such a trainee, he could teach however he wanted and mold Chang Ning into what he hoped for.
Next was Chang Ning’s one-sided abuse session. When he fell into the mud for the twentieth time rubbing his face, the combat instructor finally switched people.
“This rookie, please submit a experience and insights report on today’s beating tomorrow.”
This bizarre request reminded Chang Ning of his lost youth in school and the Assassin’s face.
Did not know what the Assassin was doing; he had not come looking for him recently.
The Assassin and Chang Ning’s relationship was both master and friend; he had given Chang Ning plenty of extra training.
“Little Tiger, lend me this rookie today.”
Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives. The Assassin stood by the mud pit, pointing at Chang Ning and saying to the combat instructor.
