Chapter 268: with translation of chapter title

After Liu Xiaotian's words fell, for a full five seconds, the formation of eight female soldiers was utterly silent.

Also the Jinbei minibus is a van model; it is a real‑world brand, so according to the rules it should be excluded as a named entity.

Thus line 【8】 includes Liu Xiaotian, Thunder Strike Team, Fan Yong.

【15】

This line is garbled and unintelligible; it contains no clear named entities, so we treat it as having none.

【17】

Upon hearing He Zhijun say that, the eight female soldiers let out a long sigh of relief.

【19】

When he saw clearly the moment He Zhijun ordered the veteran "sparring partners" to enter the field, he almost cursed.

【22】

The phrase "Fire Phoenix's eight female soldiers" includes Fire Phoenix, which is already in the glossary.

【24】

He Zhijun's smile widened as he said, "First, meet your opponents—don't worry, I know you've only just started training, so I didn't call in active special forces; instead I brought some retired veterans who still maintain the structure of a special operations unit in the reserves to be your opponents." The term "special operations unit" is generic, so only He Zhijun is a named entity.

【26】

However, Liu Xiaotian saw a hint of hope in the deputy commander's gaze.

【28】

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, adding the half day of the first day gives a total of twenty‑two days; subtracting yesterday's rest day for adjustment leaves twenty days and one afternoon of training," Liu Xiaotian's voice rang clear and loud in the auditorium.

【30】

But Liu Xiaotian was driving too fast and often slammed the brakes, making the ride rough for the eight female soldiers.

【32】

Although he doesn't care whether he is seen as a soldier or an officer, the fact that he is being considered for promotion to officer is, from another angle, a great affirmation—anyone would be pleased.

【34】

To others, He Zhijun's smile seemed to show satisfaction with the Fire Phoenix unit and their instructor Liu Xiaotian, but Liu Xiaotian felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.

【36】

At 8:40 a. m., the commissioning ceremony officially began.

【38】

At seven o'clock, a Jinbei minibus slowly pulled up in front of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade's auditorium, and Liu Xiaotian was the first to jump out of the driver's seat.

【40】

After the deputy commander returned the salute, he immediately smiled, picked up a second lieutenant's insignia and placed it on Liu Xiaotian's shoulders, then added the lapel flower and cap badge.

【42】

Half an hour earlier, Liu Xiaotian was called to change into a freshly pressed officer's summer service uniform.

【44】

Standing at attention before the deputy commander, Liu Xiaotian raised his hand in a salute, his gaze firm.

【46】

"No way to slap him in the face! Who is Senior Chief of Staff Fan? Since he dares to say that, he must be absolutely confident." (This refers to Fan Tianlei, the Chief of Staff.)

【48】

This was Liu Xiaotian's first time seeing the deputy commander in this world. (The name was intentionally misspelled; I noticed the first two characters had been automatically deleted, leaving just "High Deputy.") He is over 1.7 m tall, slightly chubby, with a very gentle smile that gives a particularly kind impression, though his appearance differs greatly from how he is portrayed in film and television.

【50】

Generally speaking, just riding in a vehicle, these trained female soldiers are not prone to motion sickness.

【52】

"Old He comrade… it looks like he's digging another hole! And he's probably finished it already. 'Liu Xiaotian's commissioning ceremony ends here; we will now move on to the next item, preparing to give the Fire Phoenix female special forces unit its first primary assessment to test your training results.'" The term "Old He comrade" refers to He Zhijun.

【54】

"If you feel like vomiting, go now; be back here in ten minutes to assemble and prepare to enter." Liu Xiaotian said this in a casual tone.

【56】

"Damn it, as a proper brigade commander, doing this is a bit too underhanded."

【58】

But Liu Xiaotian dares to guarantee that they have not retired; instead they have been "reformed" into an unnumbered action squad.

Their original designation should have been 'Lone Wolf B Team'; the one leading at the front was called Zhuang Yan; their former code name was: Siberian Wolf……
