　　At the field shooting training ground of the Djibouti support base, the surface temperature was nearly 50°C. The officers and soldiers were carefully observing every move in the target area. As soon as the target appeared 25 meters away, only a few intensive gunshots were heard. He Long, the commander of a certain brigade special operations company of the Marine Corps, had already shot, and all 10 pistol bullets were hit.

　　"So awesome!" The officers and soldiers stared.

　　There are thousands of people in China called "He Long", but he is probably the only one who can truly "go up into the sea"-this short, dark-skinned Marine.

　　On the eve of August 1st, 30-year-old He Long was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Revolutionary Soldier in the New Era".

　　"Fight! For the glory of the motherland!"

　　He Long was affectionately referred to by his comrades as the "Returnee Elite Soldier".

　　That year, the superiors selected the backbone of special warfare to study abroad in military affairs. After several levels of assessment, He Long stood out with the first overall score, and as the only representative of the Navy, he went to the "Hunter School" of a certain country.

　　This special forces training school, known as "Purgatory", is famous all over the world for its "devil-like training". Only with strong military qualities, tenacious endurance and extraordinary willpower, can they overcome many difficulties and graduate successfully.

　　"Even if I die there, I will never give up!" Before studying abroad, He Long made a sonorous oath at the mobilization meeting.

　　Eat only 2 small tortillas a day and sleep for less than 2 hours; carry 40 kg of equipment and live ammunition throughout the whole process; prisoner abuse training, soaking in puddles, and being beaten; survival behind enemy lines and facing death test... a series of extremely practical combat The special training allows students to face elimination at any time.

　　Prisoner abuse training is the cruelest course. It requires no "secrets" to be revealed no matter what methods are used to "torture", or they will be eliminated.

　　He Long was first sent to perform a mission. On the way, the instructor carried out a surprise attack on him, captured him, and then stripped his clothes to only a pair of underwear, tied his hands behind his back and put his head cover on. For the next 3 days and 3 nights, he was tortured uninterruptedly. He was dragged on a gravel road for more than ten meters, then thrown into a mud puddle full of thorns, and then hung upside down on a tree. The instructor also poured sugar water on his body to let the mosquito bite him, and made him kneel in the river water late at night, trying to use all kinds of cruel methods to break his psychological defense.

　　"Being in a foreign country, the sense of honor has become more and more clear and profound." Looking back on the scenes of the year, He Long was still very excited. "At that time there was only one idea in my heart-fight it! For the glory of the motherland!"

　　In the end, He Long withstood the test with tenacious willpower. The instructor gave him a thumbs up: "You are not afraid of death!"

　　Of the 63 people who participated in the training, only 8 people finally passed, the elimination rate was 87%, and the mortality rate was 4.7%. He Long completed the training of 153 subjects in 5 major courses including diving, sniper, and aircraft landing with excellent results, and broke the school record in the all-around sniper assessment. Upon graduation, He Long received the "Hunter" medal and was awarded the highest honor of the country's military-the honorary title of "Commando".

　　There are no weak soldiers under the fierce generals. "Jianbing No.1" Dai Wei, "Reconnaissance Pioneer" Zhang Feng, "Sniper Expert" Li Zhaoya...Under the temper of He Long, all officers and soldiers of the company have special reconnaissance capabilities such as parachuting, helicopter landing, and guided strike. At the end of 2018, the company was rated as the “Pacesetter Unit for the Tenth Anniversary of Naval Escort” by the Navy, earning second-class merit.

　　"Winning is the ultimate goal"

　　He Long is a "second-class hero" and "the top ten moving marines." His unit is known as the "Jiaolong Commando" and is responsible for various special operations missions such as guided strikes, security guards, and maritime counter-terrorism.

　　Facing such a mountain of mission, He Long did not dare to relax for a moment.

　　With high standards and strict requirements, He Long is very demanding and demanding in any job-tactical training, he fell to the ground hundreds of times a day like his comrades, often falling blue and purple on his body, arms and thighs. Often new injuries weigh down old ones; in mountain and cross-country, he will drag the outdated team members to the end to run together, so that no one is left behind; long-distance marching and training, he takes the initiative to tie sandbags on his calves and put dumbbells in his rucksack. Challenge the limit under load...

　　"To do it is to be the tip of a lore!" In He Long's heart, "winning is the ultimate goal."

　　Once, He Long was ordered to lead a special operations team to protect an important target, responsible for preventing illegal invasion of ships and personnel. "Drink desalinated seawater when you are thirsty, eat compressed dry food when you are hungry, and take a nap with a gun when you are sleepy." For several months, he and his comrades have been fighting on the front line, confronting lawless elements face to face, effectively maintaining the safety of the target.

　　At the end of 2018, the company went to Zhurihe, Inner Mongolia, to participate in actual military exercises. In the battle of "position offensive", He Long led the officers and soldiers to fight against the cold and snow, marching continuously for more than 30 kilometers in the low temperature of minus 20 ℃, and successfully infiltrated the "enemy" deep positions and reconnaissance more than 100 various targets. , To guide artillery and aviation firepower to strike at important targets. During the battle, He Long locked onto the "enemy" command post, decisively carried out an attack, and captured the commander alive on the spot. He Long received a high degree of appraisal in the review and summary. This action has also been hailed as the most brilliant special operations in history.

　　Only then handed in an excellent answer sheet, and rushed to a new battlefield.

　　Last year, He Long led the company to the Djibouti support base to perform garrison missions. Before departure, he conducted intensive training on 35 subjects and more than 100 training items.

　　After entering the base, he actively explored the patterns of special operations operations in unfamiliar and complex regions overseas, and successfully completed our military's overseas-related exercise tasks. The company's overseas counter-terrorism and emergency response capabilities have been significantly improved.
