Chapter 109 Passed the selection! Became a special forces soldier! Being caught smoking was just a small matter. After doing push-ups, the three brothers returned to the dormitory. Su Chen was not stingy and shared some of his experiences on how to use a sniper rifle with his comrades. But his master-level proficiency in sniper rifles and some of the principles he casually spoke about, which he thought were relatively easy to understand, made his comrades fall silent, as if they were digesting what he said. Fortunately, those who were able to participate in the special forces selection were not stupid. They thought more and asked more questions, and with Su Chen's patient explanation, they gained a lot. ………… The training and selection are in full swing, and the rookies have made rapid progress during this period. Under the personal guidance of a group of professional instructors from the Tiger Commandos, the rookies have demonstrated amazing talents in their respective fields. In other areas, they have also made tremendous progress by learning from each other and drawing on each other's strengths and weaknesses. Before they knew it, the training and selection had come to an end, and the rookies faced the most severe test of their selection period: SERE breaks out of the prisoner-of-war camp training! The so-called SERE refers to the four trainings of survival, evasion, resistance and escape. The purpose of this training is to provide military personnel, agents or personnel of specific professions with the ability to survive in extreme and dangerous environments, avoid capture, and resist and escape after capture. SERE covers many aspects such as wilderness survival skills, concealment and camouflage techniques, and psychological strategies for dealing with interrogation and torture, which is of great significance in improving personnel's ability to cope with and chances of survival under adverse conditions. However, unlike what is shown in movies and TV dramas, where the special forces personnel are unaware that they are in SERE training, the rookie team is actually very clear that they are about to face this test. In fact, it is impossible for any special forces to make the SERE training so real that the fake is indistinguishable from the real thing, because no one is a fool. Although the trainees are called rookies by the old hands, they are not stupid and they still have the basic ability to distinguish the real from the fake.
The purpose of SERE's training is not to treat rookies as fools, as this is too difficult. The real reason why it is called a nightmare by special forces members is that when facing high-pressure torture, the instructors will destroy their minds, making them unable to withstand the double torture of physical and psychological torture even if they know it is fake. Su Chen had the opportunity to experience the taste of torture, and also deeply felt the despair after being captured. Faced with all kinds of torture, including but not limited to electric shock, water dungeon, tiger bench and other cruel tortures that were even kept secret in TV dramas, Su Chen felt firsthand what it meant to be captured. It was absolutely impossible for him to break out of the POW camp. With his consciousness on the verge of collapse, Su Chen could only look for an opportunity to commit suicide. Fortunately, the instructors stopped him at the critical moment. The other rookies made the same choice as him. After the brutal SERE training, Chief Instructor Gao Yi once said: "Now you all know how terrible war is, right? On the battlefield, sometimes death is actually a relief. Once you are caught by the enemy, what awaits you may be tortured a hundred times more cruelly than today's training! But please remember, no matter at any time, you are a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army! Obey orders! Be loyal to your duties! Strictly observe discipline! Keep secrets! Be brave and tenacious! Not afraid of sacrifice...! These are what you once swore under the national flag, the party flag, and the military flag!!!" ......... SERE’s training has a great impact on the rookies. Even though Su Chen had experienced war, he had a deep impression of it. Most people thought that war was nothing more than hail of bullets and artillery fire, and the cruelest thing was nothing more than tragic death in battle. However, this training taught them a truth: on the battlefield, there are things that are a hundred times more terrifying than death! The prisoner-of-war camp simulated by the special forces will ultimately have to interrogate and torture them within a safe area, but will the real enemy do that? The answer is obviously no! How can we keep secrets when faced with those cruel torture instruments that destroy our bodies and minds? Gao Yi’s answer was unswerving red faith! This belief comes from the motherland, from the Party, and from the people! Soldiers are staunch defenders of national sovereignty! Once you choose to join the army or the special forces, it means you will defend the sovereignty and integrity of the country to the death. It is the first and last line of defense for the country. This oath must be fulfilled throughout your life! ………… training base. Gao Yi, with the rank of major on his collar, came to the square accompanied by instructors such as Lin Yudong. At this moment, the rookies had already changed into a clean set of 07-style hunter camouflage. Seeing the instructors coming, they immediately saluted and lined up. After Gao Yi returned the salute, he stood in front of them and said with a smile: "Relax, relax..." The rookies relaxed a little, but were waiting for Gao Yi's next training arrangement. But Gao Yi's next words stunned them all. "I want to congratulate you for officially passing the intensive training selection of the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade! In three months, you have successfully proved to me that you are all the best soldiers. From today on, you have successfully regained your names and got rid of the title of rookie. Congratulations!"
After saying that, Gao Yi raised his arm and gave a standard military salute to the six members of the rookie team. Behind him, the other instructors also raised their arms in unison and looked at the rookies with respectful eyes. They are all veteran special forces soldiers and know how difficult it is for rookies to pass their selection! This respect is for the blood and sweat that the rookies have put in over the past three months! The rookies were all stunned when they heard this, including Su Chen. Did they pass the selection? Becoming a special forces soldier? ! ! After being stunned for a while, they finally realized what was going on and returned the gift to Gao Yi. Gao Yi smiled and said, "In view of your outstanding performance over the past three months, the brigade party committee has decided to officially add those of you who are not party members to the list of party members. The party admission ceremony will be held tomorrow!" As early as when the six people completed the field survival training behind enemy lines, they had already been included in the list of training targets for that year's development plan, that is, they were considered probationary party members. At the level of the Party Committee political organs of units above the battalion level, they are eligible to be recruited during the training and inspection stage and comply with the relevant regulations of the inspection and training stage (special training). Now all six people have passed the special forces training selection and are included in the key list. After careful decision by the brigade Party Committee, the comrades in the team who are not party members are officially granted the qualification to join the party. Join the party! When Su Chen heard this, a look of joy couldn't help but appear in his eyes! As a patriotic young man with a good family background, joining the party has always been one of his goals. When he was in the police academy in his previous life, Su Chen performed exceptionally well. He joined the party on campus, and now he has traveled to this parallel world and become a glorious party member. Su Chen feels like a dream come true! ... [PS: I want to make a statement. The "Assassin" shooter honor mentioned in the previous chapter is based on Liu Meng's novel of the same name "Assassin", which is also the setting of the TV series "Sniper Life and Death Line"! There will be corresponding introductions in the following text. Damn, I finally finished writing this plot. The plot of joining the party in the last chapter was revised three or four times before it could be published. So there are only 4300 words, including the 6000 words in the chapter at noon, and the minimum of words will be completed today! The excitement will continue tomorrow! Please recommend~] (End of this chapter)
