Chapter 66: Is this foot absolutely necessary to wash?

"Squad Leader, did Xu Sanduo just jump two meters high?" Bai Tiejun rubbed his eyes hard, completely stunned.

The chaos was completely stopped by this kick.

The soldiers around the Second Platoon Leader formed an iron barrel formation, with only the middle being empty.

The only way to decapitate was found by Feng Yuxiu.

That was to step on the ground and jump high, kicking from mid-air into the empty area. A powerful kick broke the Second Platoon Leader's defensive dream.

"That damn thing was two meters high; are his feet springs?" someone said with a trembling voice.

Feng Yuxiu stood up, and the Second Platoon Leader covered his neck with a painful expression, coughing heavily.

This kick exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Won!!!" The First Platoon Leader cheered, waving his arms.

Except for the First Platoon soldiers cheering, the other two platoons were a bit dazed.

There was even a feeling of absurdity.

A grand exercise with a full formation ended with such an ending?

It was as simple as playing house.

"I looked at that tree; how did you climb up?" The First Platoon Leader walked over from a distance and stood directly in front of Cheng Cai to ask.

"Cheng Cai, tell him!" The First Squad Leader was very happy; the first shot's credit went to the First Squad.

This was glory, so his gaze toward Cheng Cai became increasingly happy.

Cheng Cai raised his head, and everyone turned to look at him.

Only Bai Tiejun crossed his arms and looked at him with a sneer, the meaning in his eyes very clear: if you have the face, take all the credit.

"I've liked climbing trees since I was a child..."

"Impossible, that tree is bare and has no leverage points at all; you couldn't have climbed up carrying a sniper rifle." The First Platoon Leader didn't believe it at all. "And there were clearly two people coming down from the tree at the time."

"Cheng Cai, why didn't you say that?" The First Squad Leader's face turned ugly.

If there were two people, Cheng Cai had committed the act of stealing credit.

In the military, abandoning comrades to steal credit is a major taboo.

This was no longer a question of selfishness.

Cheng Cai's face turned red, and he stammered.

"Let me say it. I was the one attracting the line of fire in the dirt pit, and Xu Sanduo pulled Cheng Cai up the tree. This tactic was also proposed by Xu Sanduo, and Cheng Cai was just responsible for shooting." Bai Tiejun said bluntly.

"Cheng Cai, is that so?" The Third Platoon Leader walked straight over and asked in a low voice.

"It... it... it is like that." Feeling the intersecting gazes around him, Cheng Cai suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Bang!

The Third Platoon Leader kicked out directly, pointing at Cheng Cai's nose. "Get back! Damn it!"

Cheng Cai staggered from the kick, raised his head to look around, and found that the soldiers around him had cleared a path.

"Truly not bad, truly not bad!"

Gao Cheng's clapping interrupted this short exercise.

"Everyone, assemble! Look to the left, look to the right!"

Thus, on the hillside, Gao Cheng began his lecture.

"Truly not bad, First Platoon Leader, Second Platoon Leader, step out!"

The two walked out in goose-step.

"Tell me, what are your thoughts?" Gao Cheng asked with a smile.

"I wasn't prepared. If you give me another chance, I will definitely perfect the tactics!" The First Platoon Leader shouted with his neck raised.

"I was attacked from both sides. My terrain was a guaranteed win for this exercise. It was the First Platoon that didn't follow the rules, they were eliminated but still came up! I demand to do it again!" The Second Platoon Leader said unconvinced.

Gao Cheng smiled slightly, then his face changed instantly, pointing at the two and scolding angrily, "Cowardly! Damn it, cowardly! A platoon leader, decapitated by someone, and the Second Platoon Leader even had his head taken from the middle of an army! You still have the face to shout! Damn it!"

The two platoon leaders were scolded so hard they wanted to crawl into the ground.

No one knew why the Company Commander suddenly changed his face.

"And you, Third Platoon Leader, what are you laughing at? Your exercise tactics are like children fighting."

The Third Platoon Leader's smile instantly turned bitter.

Even if you win, you get scolded.

"Take them all back. First Platoon, stand in military posture all day today! Dead people can also be resurrected, I've really seen a ghost!"

This short exercise had no winners.

Regardless of winning or losing, they were all pointed at and scolded by Gao Cheng.

"Squads, pay attention, take them all back!"

Each platoon leader issued orders loudly.

Shi Jin led the Third Squad back to the barracks.

"Shi Jin, stay!"

In the jungle, only Gao Cheng and Shi Jin were left.

Gao Cheng was silent for a moment and lit a cigarette. "What's going on? Why is your presence so low in this exercise?"

Shi Jin showed his big front teeth. "Company Commander, isn't our squad doing quite well?"

"Third Squad Leader, besides command ability, the exercise also looks at individual outstanding performance. The spotlight was all taken by Xu Sanduo; where is your spotlight?"

Shi Jin was at a loss, not understanding why the Company Commander was so strict with him this year.

So he could only lower his head and remain silent.

"Let me reveal some news: there's a full army exercise next week. You better perform well for me."

Shi Jin raised his head suddenly. "This exercise was just to prepare for the next one?"

Gao Cheng smiled. "Prepare my ass. Your combat power is as fragile as an egg in front of others. Soldiers who have been in the barracks for years, where have you seen a proper exercise? This is a full army exercise, no sloppiness allowed."

Shi Jin thought for a moment. "Then how did Xu Sanduo perform this time?"

"So-so." Saying it so lightly, Gao Cheng couldn't hide the joy in the corners of his eyes.

"Exhausted." Bai Tiejun lay on the bed and stretched.

"It's better for Gan Xiaoning, he fell at the beginning, no need to run so far."

Gan Xiaoning said strangely, "Fell? Stop reading so many novels, that's called glory."

"Third Brother is still awesome, decapitated twice directly, a role model for our generation." Bai Tiejun gave Feng Yuxiu a thumbs up.

Wu Liuyi stood up. "Xu Sanduo, where did you get these fancy tactics?"

He began to doubt himself.

In this short exercise, Feng Yuxiu's two choices were so bizarre.

Ordinary people wouldn't even think of attacking alone.

They would only follow the main force to launch an attack.

Fighting collectively with collective tactics.

Feng Yuxiu had applied the tactic of winning by surprise to a concrete level.

Feng Yuxiu said indifferently, "Weren't there two choices? I just chose the decapitation tactic; what's difficult about that?"

"Listen, listen... what's difficult about that, worthy of being..."

"Shut up!" Wu Liuyi scolded, interrupting Bai Tiejun's nonsense.

"Xu Sanduo, come out for a second." Wu Liuyi waved.

Feng Yuxiu frowned and followed him out.

Bai Tiejun just wanted to speak, but found Gan Xiaoning staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

Gan Xiaoning was expressionless. "You talk too much."

"Go polish the shoes."

Bai Tiejun said "Oh," pulled out a small stool, sat down, and began to polish the shoes.

——

Outside the corridor.

Wu Liuyi was silent for a long time. "Xu Sanduo, I know you are a natural soldier. A person like you would be a role model who kills a hundred enemies in wartime. You are ruthless, and your hands are poisonous."

Feng Yuxiu looked at Wu Liuyi in confusion. Was this a sign of jealousy?

"If there is another exercise, can you bring the Squad Leader along? The Squad Leader has never fought or snatched; if this continues, I'm really afraid!"

"Really afraid he'll leave."

Feng Yuxiu frowned. "What do you mean by that? Hasn't the Third Squad's overall performance gone up?"

Wu Liuyi sighed. "Individual performance is also a factor in determining the Squad Leader's stay or go. The Squad Leader never fights or snatches, do you understand? You were able to take Cheng Cai to kill the First Platoon Leader; next time there's such an opportunity, bring the Squad Leader along."

After saying this, Wu Liuyi patted Feng Yuxiu on the shoulder. For the first time, deep pleading appeared in the eyes of this strong soldier.

In this era, comrades with deep feelings are closer than brothers.

It is a friendship that can block bullets for each other.

Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin are like that.

Feng Yuxiu nodded solemnly. "Understood."

"Steel Seventh Company, Third Platoon, Third Squad, is Xu Sanduo here?" Ma Jun's voice shouted stiffly.

Heads poked out from each squad in the corridor.

Feng Yuxiu turned to look and was stunned.

Ma Jun stood straight at the stairwell, holding a basin of foot-washing water, looking at him. ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
