Chapter 374: The Iron-Blooded Chinese Characters: The Military Song
“It was my first time shooting a gun.”
After Su Yang finished firing ten bullets, Lao Hei couldn't help but ask, and Su Yang nodded. After getting the answer, Lao Hei nodded and said nothing.
Next, Lao Hei continued to teach Su Yang shooting techniques. From fixed targets to moving targets, Lao Hei also changed several types of guns.
The more he taught, the more surprised Lao Hei became. The same was true for the others around him and Xu Lang.
"Captain, are you sure this monster hasn't received special training?"
While Su Yang was practicing alone, Lao Hei came to Xu Lang and couldn't help asking.
"No, I just asked for his detailed information. The information shows that he has no training experience and his background is very clean. However, the information shows that Su Yang has a very strong learning ability. Oh, and he once demonstrated his ability to remember everything he saw on a show. He can read any book and remember even the punctuation correctly."
Xu Lang’s words made Lao Hei swallow his saliva. Damn, what a monster, no wonder.
"Teach him more when you have time. He's actually here because he's offended too many people outside and wants to learn some self-protection techniques. He's actually a pretty good person. He donated 600 million to his alma mater, something most people wouldn't be willing to do."
Xu Lang smiled and said, "This guy is also a typical cold-faced but warm-hearted person." He had just finished reading Su Yang's information in detail, and after reading it, Xu Lang had a deeper understanding of Su Yang. If he were a soldier coming for special training, Xu Lang might look down on him. After all, the Shadow Brigade is not a boot camp. Shoveling a new recruit who knows nothing here really makes Xu Lang dislike it. Xu Lang hates soldiers who use backdoors the most.
But from a Chinese perspective, Xu Lang felt that Su Yang was a very good person. Although he was a celebrity, he was full of positive energy. He was rich but not greedy. Such a person was worthy of admiration.
"Um……"
Lao Hei nodded. In fact, facing these special training personnel, whether it was Xu Lang or Lao Hei, they called them a bunch of rookies, but in their hearts they were very concerned. They were all the elite of China. Even if they didn't end up being selected for the Shadow Brigade, it couldn't be said that they were bad. These people were the best of the elite companies.
The day's special training ended unnoticed. The weather was beautiful today. It was a bright moon Sunday, and the special patrol officers, tired from a day's work, gathered on the lawn of the training ground. It was a rare leisurely moment of the day, a group of people sitting together, chatting with each other, or listening to Xu Lang and his friends tell the awesome stories of Shadow, which was also very refreshing.
"Su Yang, everyone knows that you sing very well. Look how beautiful the moon is today, and everyone is free. How about singing a song for everyone?"
Xu Lang looked at Su Yang and said loudly, "After most of the day's special training, Su Yang's performance has made everyone feel a lot about him. Especially Su Yang's extraordinary shooting talent, even Xu Lang is lucky."
"Come one, come one..."
"Come one..."
The people below also started to make a fuss. Seeing this scene, Su Yang laughed. "Xu Yanwang, ah Xu Yanwang, you asked for this yourself. You can't blame me for crying later."
"Okay, since everyone thinks highly of me, I'll sing a song for you. If my singing isn't good, please bear with me."
Su Yang stood up and looked at everyone. There was no high-end stage or any sound equipment here. But at this moment, Su Yang was in a very happy mood.
Su Yang was in a good mood after singing a song for this group of tough guys.
"Well, before we sing, I want to ask you a few quick questions. Captain Xu, how many years have you been in the army?"
Su Yang looked at it curiously and asked.
"As for me, I started serving in the army when I was eighteen, and I'm thirty-six this year. Eighteen years, right?"
Xu Lang said with a smile on his face. Xu Lang had spent the best years of his youth in this military camp.
"Squad Leader Laohei, what about you?"
Su Yang continued to ask.
"Hahaha, I've been in the army for two years longer than Captain Xu. I'm thirty-eight this year, and I also joined the army at eighteen. I've been in the army for twenty years, so I'm old..."
Lao Hei said with a smile.
"I've been in the army for eight years..."
"My twelve years..."
"I've been here for seven years..."
"My five years..."
"My four years..."
Su Yang's question made everyone relax and start chatting.
"Um, how often do you guys go home?"
Su Yang then asked another question, and this question made some people suddenly feel homesick. People like Xu Lang and Lao Hei, who have families, might go back home a little more often, but often they would not go home for a month or two.
Many of these soldiers who participated in special training have not been home for one or two years.
"To be honest, I miss home too. My old mother is already gray-haired. To be honest, I also love her. I often miss the girl in my dreams, the girl in my dreams..."
After asking the question, Su Yang nodded and sang softly. Su Yang's singing voice was still so beautiful, but this time the voice was a little low and a little longing.
Such lyrics, such voice, coupled with such a scene, especially when Su Yang had just asked Xu Lang and the others some questions about homesickness. This time, it was incredible.
Who says that the iron-blooded Chinese characters shed blood but don't cry? They also have a lot of tenderness in their hearts. They are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but that doesn't mean they don't have soft spots.
As soon as Su Yang started singing, the crowd fell silent. Just a few simple lines of the song had already made some of the hard-core Chinese people's eyes turn red. Especially those who hadn't been home for several years, this singer touched their hearts directly.
"Come, come, come, come. Since you're a soldier, you should know that your responsibilities are great. If you don't carry a gun, I won't carry a gun either. Who will protect our mother? Who will protect her? Who will protect her..."
The moment the lyrics changed, everyone's mood instantly changed. Yes, we miss home, too. But since we've joined the army, we've already considered this question beforehand. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been impossible to achieve simultaneously. If everyone stays home to care for their parents, who will protect their home and country? It's this belief that keeps them here, fearless of hardship and fatigue.
"To be honest, I'm not stupid. I understand the hardships of military service. To be honest, I have feelings too. I was raised in the mundane world..."
"Come, come ...
Su Yang's voice echoed throughout the training grounds. Even though it was a cappella, Su Yang's voice was still beautiful. A military song, yet it touched the hearts of all the soldiers.
Even Lao Hei and Xu Lang couldn't help but wipe their eyes secretly.
But this kind of emotion is not shameful. Who dares to say that soldiers’ tears are shameful? Who dares to say that the tears of these iron-blooded men are shameful?
"good……"
When Su Yang finished singing, everyone applauded excitedly. After listening to Su Yang's song, they felt a surge of energy in their hearts. Seeing everyone's spirits, Xu Lang also smiled.
"Why don't we apply to the higher-ups to get a few arts soldiers for the Shadow Brigade?"
A bold idea came to Xu Lang's mind. The idea of combining work and rest was the same for military training. One cannot be constantly tense; even the strongest of men cannot handle it. A proper period of relaxation and leisure is very beneficial to everyone's physical and mental health.
