Chapter 237: A Foolish Move Sparks Public Outrage!

"You say they even recite knowledge points during training?"

"Right!"

Guo Yongwen solemnly said, "Ding Tengfei and I just went in and saw that former Military Police soldier, hopping like a frog while murmuring, as if reciting a lesson."

Ding Tengfei nodded, "It's a knowledge point, definitely a knowledge point!"

In the office, Gao Feng and the Instructor exchanged a glance and inhaled a cold breath.

Earlier, they had already gone through the intelligence photos that the two had "risked death" to collect.

The difficulty of the questions was extremely high; some were directly taken from real exam questions of the former military academy's second, third, and fourth years.

It covered not only motorized infantry, but also mechanized infantry, and even the knowledge points that artillery, engineers, and signal troops should master.

From the lesson plans and test papers, the Sixth Company this time is truly ambitious, showing a drive to mass‑produce all‑round model soldiers like Lu Yang.

Although, in Instructor Zhao's view, this teaching method is downright exaggerated and the success rate is truly slim.

But it can't stop them from already implementing it; if there is any progress, the Seventh Company's position will become precarious.

As a result, Gao Feng and his companion felt an inexplicable urgency, fearing that a slip could let them be overtaken and crushed one day.

"Rowing against the current, you either advance or retreat; they have already been quietly making efforts where we can't see, and we can't just sit and wait for death!"

"Since that's the case, if the Sixth Company conducts military theory training, we can do it too!"

"I'll contact my old classmates from the military academy to see if we can get some past mock test papers."

"I still have some old textbooks; tonight I'll start creating a set of teaching material suitable for our Hard Bone Company based on Lu Yang's lesson plan."

The two agreed, and Gao Feng looked at Guo Yongwen and said, "You two coordinated very well; thanks to you we were able to obtain first‑hand data on the Sixth Company's training."

Guo Yongwen modestly said, "Company Commander, this time it's mainly Ding Tengfei's merit. I only attracted the target; he slipped in quietly and successfully brought the intelligence back. I think he has great potential as a scout."

Gao Feng looked at Ding Tengfei with approval for the first time and said, "Ding Tengfei."

"Got it!"

Ding Tengfei straightened his back, his heart racing.

Gao Feng said sternly, "Company Commander, I've always judged the matter, not the person. In the past I disliked you because you were arrogant, ignored discipline, had a passive training attitude, and your will was weak."

"But over the recent period I've seen great progress and change in you, and it truly impressed me."

"I've decided to officially place you into the Reconnaissance Platoon and cultivate you toward a backbone role…"

Ding Tengfei excitedly puffed out his chest, his eyes flashing.

This was his first time truly receiving Gao Feng's recognition.

He had waited for this day for far too long, and finally it arrived.

The Reconnaissance Platoon, the strongest platoon of the Hard Bone Seventh Company, primarily conducts early reconnaissance of enemy deployments and firepower arrangements.

In earlier exercises, Guo Yongwen led the Reconnaissance Platoon members, silently infiltrating the enemy line and almost captured the opposing company's headquarters.

The missions were not only dangerous but also extremely difficult; only elite could undertake them. Yet now, as Guo Yongwen once said, he has also become a backbone.

Ding Tengfei felt immensely proud; his excitement made his voice tremble as he said, "Yes, Company Commander, I will train hard, strive to serve the Seventh Company wholeheartedly, and become the toughest bone of the Seventh Company!"

Instructor Zhao and Guo Yongwen wore smiles of satisfaction.

Initially, the two insisted on transferring the person from Class Ten.

Over this, they even had a considerable dispute with Gao Feng.

Today, Ding Tengfei's growth further proves they didn't misjudge him.

This kid's path has been bumpy, tasting the cold and warm of military life, but now his hardships have turned sweet; his future will surely be bright and brilliant, soaring high.

Gao Feng looked at him and said, "In the past I always compared you with Lu Yang, just because you both came from the same class and are fellow villagers. But that's wrong; we can't compare."

"You have your own military path and your own understanding of soldiers, so Company Commander, I owe you an apology here."

Gao Feng is a person who separates merits and faults clearly; merit is merit, fault is fault.

If the material Ding Tengfei brought back can help improve the Seventh Company's combat power and raise troop quality, then he will be a great contributor.

Moreover, now the kid no longer gets motion sickness, and under Guo Yongwen's training he is gradually showing some abilities; Gao Feng need not keep harping on past matters.

"Company Commander, I'm the one who should say sorry," Ding Tengfei said with guilt, "I was immature before, causing you and the unit too many troubles."

"From now on, I will definitely learn the lesson, rectify my faults; become a good soldier, a soldier useful to the unit and the country."

"Look, look at this enlightenment!" Instructor Zhao clicked his tongue, teasing, "I told you my judgment wasn't wrong, and you didn't believe me."

"Alright, alright, it's my poor judgment, huh?"

Gao Feng finally gave him a piece of advice, "Now, I have a task for you!"

Ding Tengfei pressed his legs together, seriously, "Your order!"

Gao Feng: "From now on, you will train with Guo Yongwen in vehicle‑mounted sniping tactics, strive as much as possible toward becoming a sniper, even a precision shooter. Aim to surpass soon, and in the exercises take down that fellow villager of yours!"

"Yes!"

Ding Tengfei at this moment felt as if injected with adrenaline, his head held high.

From this moment, the Seventh Company's honor becomes his strongest backing.

He will strive to catch up to and surpass Lu Yang, becoming the most persistent and steadfast goal of his future military career.

"Ah—ah!"

In the electronic classroom, Lu Yang sneezed several times in a row.

He rubbed his nose, walked to the small blackboard, and opened the folder bearing He Zhen Tao's name.

This is the official lesson plan used by the Sixth Company; the one Ding Tengfei had previously snuck a look at was just a draft.

If taught strictly according to the above procedure, it's highly likely to produce counterproductive results.

Of course, it can't be said completely ineffective; the content is overly advanced, suitable only for those preparing for military academy exams, offering little help to ordinary soldiers.

However, the Seventh Company isn't foolish; after a month and a half of effort and seeing the effect was not obvious, they would proactively stop and cut losses in time.

Lu Yang looked at the eager eyes and explained, "The Instructor has an afternoon appointment, so I'm covering his class for one session. Today's topic is mainly infantry‑tank coordination."

Infantry-tank cooperation originated in World War I, and only truly flourished during World War II; on this basis, there is also infantry-tank-artillery three-way cooperation.....

During the class, Ma Qing'an came by once in the middle.

He Zhen Tao worried that Lu Yang teaching alone would cause trouble, so he had him come by in the middle to look, listen, and by the way shake up classroom discipline.

But unexpectedly, Lu Yang spoke smoothly, and from time to time he would also insert some haiku that fit the scene.

Or he would use some evil little jokes related to war to mobilize the class's enthusiasm, causing everyone to burst out laughing.

For example:

【Finally joined the party, sitting below listening to a speech, what's the superior's surname? Chiang?】

【Prices keep rising, go to the bar and drink two liang, hey, there's a lecture?】

【Kelp with rice, raising head, the sunlight is splendid, I'm screwed!】

Outside the window, Ma Qing'an laughed, holding his stomach, his waist almost unable to straighten.

Talking about the Anti-Japanese War, just talk about it; suddenly inserting this segment really makes people unable to hold back.

Talented, so talented; this kind of class, even he would be willing to listen more.

Look at the atmosphere on site, it's nothing like the usual lectures where everyone is half-asleep.

So Ma Qing'an basically isn't afraid that the Seventh Company could steal their teaching methods, because Lu Yang himself is the core driving the Sixth Company's military theory study, the linchpin of the Protective Sect Grand Formation.

"Alright, today's class ends here, dismissed."

Lu Yang raised his eyes to look at the clock hanging above, then announced dismissal.

But unlike before, this time everyone had a feeling of wanting more.

"Ah, it's already over, too fast, right?"

"Lu Platoon's lecture is really interesting; just earlier they were talking about the blitzkrieg on Poland, then they jumped to a tavern speech."

"The one who joined the party in '49 is hilarious, oh my, it's really funny, laughing until my stomach hurts."

"Platoon Leader Lu, how about adding another session tonight? Your lecture is so interesting, knowledge points dense, lots of dry goods, not the slightest bit sleepy. This is more fun than listening to crosstalk or reading novels."

Lu Yang also didn't expect that his first lecture would provoke such a good response.

He had previously worried that his limited ability would make the lecture boring.

"Let me communicate with the instructor later to see if we can add class time."

"Everyone is willing to listen, I am willing to speak; shared learning lets us progress together."

"Yes!"

Just as everyone stood up, picking up their stools preparing to leave.

Suddenly someone shouted a report loudly; Lu Yang turned his gaze toward Kang Changyi, whose face was full of indignation.

"What's the matter?"

"Report, Platoon Leader, forgot to assign the after-class homework!"

"!!!!!!"

Everyone in the Whole Company, including the class platoon leader, was staring at him with murderous eyes.

"Little thief, you're asking for death!"

Lu Yang scratched his nose, he had indeed forgotten this.

Kang Changyi proudly puffed out his chest, like a little red scarf: "Yesterday the instructor finished class and left homework. Without after-class homework, how can we review the old and learn the new?"

Lu Yang helplessly: "Then, leave some? Everyone repeatedly recite the key points from the lecture, tomorrow morning organize spot checks of dictation."

Kang Changyi nodded satisfied, unaware that his action had already completely ignited everyone's anger......
