Since I was a special force, I started to counterattack

Chapter 18 The Scout's Highest Honor

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lei Yan returned to the dormitory, and greeted everyone as soon as he entered the door.

"Comrades, I'm back."

"Oh, the sun is out in the west, and the training madman came back so early today."

The comrade on the upper bunk closed the novel in his hand, sat up from the bed and joked.

"A combination of work and rest!" Lei Yan chuckled, came to his bed and sat down.

"Stop talking nonsense, I still believe what other people say, you are a lunatic." Another comrade-in-arms said.

"Xiao Leizi, is something wrong?"

Lao Pao was a little worried, Miao Lian and Chen Pai regarded this kid as a baby bump, so they had to watch him carefully, and Lao Pao himself liked him more and more.

"I said what's the matter with you, so I can't rest?" Lei Yan rolled his eyes and smiled wryly.

Xiwa at the side leaned over, stretched out her hand to touch Lei Yan's forehead, then touched her own, then turned to Lao Pao and said, "Don't worry, monitor, you don't have a fever!"

"Dizzy!" Lei Yan rolled his eyes and fell on the bed.

"It's fine. Get a good night's sleep. The sniper training will start tomorrow. It will be quite uncomfortable." Old Pao said while cutting the calluses on the soles of his feet with a saber.

"Squad leader, have you received sniper training?"

Hearing this, Lei Yan immediately became interested.

Veterans have practiced a little bit, but it is not comprehensive or systematic enough.

"What subjects are there?" Lei Yan moved closer to Old Pao.

"All I've been exposed to is the most basic training, and I have nothing to teach you!" Old Pao shrugged. He was really powerless about sniper training.

"Then do you know what is the hardest part of sniper training?"

Lei Yan thought about this question. Isn't a sniper a sharpshooter? No matter how you practice, marksmanship is definitely the most important thing. It's not difficult to lie on the shooting range every day, but why do you think it's not easy to be a sniper?
"Why do you ask this?" Old Pao glanced at him.

"Do some mental preparations in advance!" Lei Yan said with a chuckle.

Lao Pao raised his head, rubbed his chin with the back of the knife with his right hand, thought for a moment, then turned to stare at Lei Yan and said, "Two words, patience!"

Lei Yan frowned, patience?What does it mean?
"Go and experience it yourself!" Lao Pao patted him on the shoulder: "Go back to your bed, I'm going to sleep."

"Oh!" Lei Yan agreed, and returned to his bed with a blank expression.

Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, after a long time, all kinds of strange snores sounded from the comrades in the dormitory.

I don't know whether it's excitement or fear, no matter how hard Lei Yan tries, he doesn't feel sleepy, he turns his head to check the time, it's almost eleven o'clock, and he still can't fall asleep.

In desperation, Lei Yan had no choice but to sit up, thinking that it is better to go out to get some air, relax and maybe fall asleep.

Putting on his military boots, Lei Yan walked out of the dormitory lightly.

The night air smelled fresh, a bright moon hung high, and the sky was full of stars.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Yan walked slowly on the path, the breeze felt cool on his face, and Lei Yan stretched his waist, feeling extremely relaxed.

Suddenly, he heard a bang bang sound.

As a scout, this sound is all too familiar, it is the muffled sound of fists hitting sandbags.

"It's so late, is there anyone still training?"

Lei Yan curiously followed the voice, and soon saw a figure in the fighting arena.

The outline was a bit familiar, but it was dark and I couldn't see the face clearly. I could only see the man hitting the sandbag desperately. Every punch and kick was full of strength. The sandbag was shaken violently, obviously he was a master.

Out of curiosity, Lei Yan walked over, took a closer look, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Chen Pai?"

Hearing the sound, Chen Pai looked up, took a deep breath and said, "It's you, why are you staying up so late and running out?"

"I can't sleep, come out to get some air, why are you still practicing?"

Lei Yan always felt that he was desperate enough, but he never thought that there was someone who was more ruthless than him, and it was midnight and he was still so desperate.

Chen Pai went to the side and sat down, picked up a bottle of water and took a sip, "It's nothing, I'm used to it, I feel uncomfortable when I don't move."

Lei Yan came to sit down beside Chen Pai and asked, "Do you practice like this every day?"

"Almost!" Pai Chen nodded.

"You are already the platoon leader, why are you still working so hard?"

Lei Yan always believed that Chen Pai was the best soldier in the reconnaissance company, not only a top student of the Army Command Academy, but also with super military quality, he was a man of the day in the reconnaissance company and even the whole regiment, and he was a true professional soldier.

"Why did you become a soldier?" Chen Pai asked instead of answering Lei Yan's words.

"I don't know, maybe this is my fate."

What Lei Yan said was the truth. He wanted to be a soldier since he was a child. He liked the army and worshiped soldiers, but he was forced to go to the construction site to move bricks.

But he didn't expect that fate sent him to the military camp and became a soldier. His childhood dream became a reality, but he didn't think about the purpose of being a soldier. He just wanted to be a soldier. If he had to say, That is to defend the country.

But that is not a personal purpose, but the mission and responsibility of every soldier.

"And you, what are you working so hard for?" Lei Yan was curious.

"In order to enter the special forces and become the best soldier." Mentioning the special forces, Chen Pai was in awe.

"In my opinion, you are already the best soldier." Lei Yan said.

"Still a long way to go!"

Chen Pai laughed and said, "Becoming a special soldier has always been my dream. I have been preparing since I was in high school. I went to the military academy and entered the reconnaissance company, all in order to be able to enter the special forces one day."

Lei Yan was surprised and said, "I started preparing since high school? It must have been six or seven years, right?"

"Almost!" Pai Chen nodded.

"Then why are you still in the reconnaissance company?"

Lei Yan was full of surprise, is it so difficult to enter the special forces? Chen Pai is so powerful, and he hasn't entered after six or seven years of preparation, so what should he do? Isn't it hopeless?

"Although I am a veteran, I have only been in the reconnaissance company for more than a year. The selection of special forces must be carried out among the scouts in the entire military region. I did not catch up with the last time. This year's selection has not yet started." Chen Pai explained.

"Oh, that means you will definitely be going to the special forces selection this year." Lei Yan asked.

"Of course, I've been waiting for this day for so many years." Chen Pai smiled.

"That's why you practice so desperately?" Lei Yan said.

"Yes, everything is preparing for entering the special forces." Pai Chen took a deep breath.

"There is a question I don't understand!" Lei Yan tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "Both special forces and scouts are from the People's Liberation Army, what's the difference?"

"Then what do you think is the difference between our reconnaissance company and those ordinary companies?" Pai Chen asked rhetorically.

"We are better than them!" Lei Yan blurted out.

"For a reason, the recruits all want to join the reconnaissance company, and the scouts all want to join the special forces. To be a soldier, you must be the best soldier." Pai Chen patted Lei Yan on the shoulder.

"Are special soldiers the best soldiers?" Lei Yan was a little skeptical.

"At least better than us, but that's only one aspect. More importantly, special forces is the highest honor for scouts." Chen Pai said with a serious face.
