Chapter 489 You won't laugh at me, will you?
"This is the first mission assigned by the military region since the establishment of the action team. I hope we can deliver a satisfactory result!" Zheng Changqing said solemnly.
The seven of them said in unison, "We guarantee to complete the mission!"
The military region uses the action team as a whetstone for all companies, but isn't it also using the strength of other companies to hone their skills?
"The exercise is scheduled for next Wednesday and will last for ten days! While everyone trains intensively these few days, you also need to get into peak condition. After the exercise, we'll decide on your leave based on your performance!"
Zheng Changqing told them in advance that there would be a holiday reward, so that they could better devote themselves to the exercise.
In the dead of night, all the lights in the action team's dormitory were off, but Su Jin sat alone on the playground outside, gazing up at the starry sky above.
From the moment I decided to join the army to now becoming a member of the action team, more than eight months have passed in the blink of an eye.
These eight months felt longer than the past four years for her.
She could clearly feel the growth in her own strength and the change in her state of mind.
She doesn't know if she can be considered a qualified soldier now, but she has given all her energy and effort, and she has a clear conscience.
Even so, she knew very well that she was still far from knowing the truth about her father's sacrifice.
But she is patient, and one day she will find out everything that happened back then!
"Why aren't you resting so late? Is it because of the intense drills?"
Zheng Changqing's concerned words suddenly rang out from behind her, breaking the silence.
Su Jin quickly gathered her thoughts, and her body relaxed from a tense state.
"The captain isn't asleep either."
Zheng Changqing smiled slightly and followed her example, sitting down directly on the lawn.
"Wow, you know what, the scenery here is really nice!"
Su Jin only noticed his exaggeration; there was not a trace of appreciation for the night view.
"I still remember the first time I went to the battlefield, I wrote a will while crying, thinking that I would most likely die there."
Zheng Changqing spoke again, recalling events from more than a decade ago.
After saying that, he deliberately asked Su Jin, "You won't laugh at me, will you?"
Su Jin shook her head very seriously.
"After all, I was young at the time, only about 17 years old, so I was indeed a bit naive," Zheng Changqing couldn't help but sigh.
Su Jin's eyes held a newfound respect for him.
Zheng Changqing stretched and said, "You guys are so lucky now. In peacetime, there aren't many opportunities to fight on the battlefield."
"If I ever go to the battlefield, I won't back down." Su Jin suddenly had this thought and said it directly.
Zheng Changqing looked at her with a half-smile, and said with a hint of certainty, "It seems you've made considerable progress."
Su Jin did not delve into the meaning of his words, but instead changed the subject.
"When did the captain start working alongside Brigade Commander Xiao?"
Zheng Changqing had told her before that he had stayed by Xiao Yunfeng's side for five years and learned a lot of skills from Xiao Yunfeng. His respect and obedience to Xiao Yunfeng had long been ingrained in his bones.
Zheng Changqing's smile deepened, clearly misunderstanding the meaning behind her question.
"It's been a long time, almost ten years now."
The darkness concealed Su Jin's frantically waving eyes and the suppressed emotions on her face.
Ten years ago, that was exactly the time her father sacrificed his life!
