583: Selecting female special forces soldiers.

The Womens Detachment currently only had her as the Captain, and there were no other small team Commanders or similar positions.

Xiao Niannian planned to conduct thorough selections over the next few months, and then go to her alma mater to find Meng Ning, Lin Shi, and Gao Yao. Shen Yan had mentioned them repeatedly recently, and she would also call them once or twice a month.

The Principal and the Political Commissar also said that the few of them performed exceptionally well.

If they were willing to join the Special Forces Brigade Womens Detachment, they would definitely become outstanding special forces women.

Li Le and Qian Wu were extremely excited. They signed up to participate in the selection of special forces women. During this time, they didn't go near Xiao Niannian, fearing that approaching her now might bring negative attention to Niannian, leading to others gossiping about Niannian.

Xiao Niannian was not afraid of such rumors at all. She looked at Li Le and Qian Wu and greeted them with a smile.

"How are you few preparing?"

"Instructor Xiao."

"Captain Xiao."

Hearing their words, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Li Le raised her head and spoke with a firm tone.

"Reporting, Captain Xiao, we are confident."

"We are confident."

After talking with Li Le and the others for a while, Xiao Niannian went to Xu Jia and the Logistics Support Platoon.

"Captain Xiao."

"Comrade Xiao."

Seeing Xiao Niannian approach, the women Soldiers greeted her loudly.

"Hello."

Xu Jia also looked at Xiao Niannian with excitement. Although they hadn't been comrades-in-arms with Comrade Xiao Niannian for long, Comrade Xiao Niannian was their role model, and every Comrade-in-arms in their squad was learning from Comrade Xiao Niannian.

"Captain Xiao, you are our role model."

"I heard that you have been training hard these past few months. Today is the time to test the results of your training..."

Hearing Captain Xiao's words, Xu Jia, Zhao You, Cao Huan, and the other comrades-in-arms looked on with excited eyes.

"We will definitely perform well."

After the assessment began, Xiao Niannian held a pen and paper, observing the women Soldiers being assessed.

More than half of the women Soldiers signed up for the selection. However, Xiao Niannian estimated that at most thirty of them would be selected. After three months, perhaps only about fifteen people would remain.

Some women Soldiers had decent physical fitness, but the training in the Special Forces Brigade was much harder than in regular Military Units. Some lacked sufficient perseverance and might not stick with it.

The assessment lasted three days. If these Team Members achieved an Excellent rating, they would be selected.

In the evening, Xiao Niannian watched the women Soldiers undergoing the shooting assessment.

Not far away was the selection for the male Soldiers, and Xiao Niannian could hear the scores reported by the target markers.

Many people scored ten rings.

"Bang, bang, bang."

After the shooting competition of the First Team ended, the target markers began reporting the scores.

"Li Le, one hundred rings."

"Qian Wu, one hundred rings."

Score after score was announced, and Xiao Niannian looked at these results with satisfaction. Whether they were comrades-in-arms from the New Recruit Regiment or comrades-in-arms from the Logistics Support Platoon, their scores were all Excellent.

These people should also be selected in the assessments over the next two days.

Xiao Niannian also saw an acquaintance.

Feng Lin, the Comrade-in-arms she had just joined the Logistics Support Platoon with, had actually signed up to participate in the special forces women selection this time.

Feng Lin was currently a Deputy Company Commander. Her physical fitness used to be decent, and after being transferred to another company, she had continued to train diligently.

"Company Commander Feng."

"Captain Xiao."

Feng Lin looked at Xiao Niannian, marveling internally.

The woman Soldier under her command had actually become the Captain of the Special Brigade Women's Detachment. However, she felt nothing but admiration. Some people were just that formidable.

Her physical fitness had improved now; she had been training extra every day before. Now, she didn't know if she would be selected, but it would be wonderful if she were.

She could also prove to her family and those who doubted her that women Soldiers could be just as outstanding.

Just like Captain Xiao!

"Company Commander Feng, I hope to see your excellent performance in the assessments over the next two days."

"I will definitely work hard and succeed in being selected."

Feng Lin was full of confidence. She enjoyed spending time with Xiao Niannian. Although Xiao Niannian didn't say many pleasant things, Xiao Niannian would use actions to show everyone, teaching many Soldiers how to become better and more outstanding, improving the Soldiers' physical fitness and scores in various subjects.

She had always felt that Xiao Niannian's future was limitless, and now it was true.

Seeing her comrades-in-arms become more outstanding, she also needed to become more outstanding so she could keep up with them.

In the evening, Xiao Niannian stayed in the Family Courtyard. Division Commander Yu and the Commanders from the Division Headquarters had previously held a meeting and decided that this house would be reserved for Grandma Xiao and Xiao Niannian to live in, kept available at all times.

Lu Jing also came to stay here and brought over some braised dishes.

"I asked the comrades-in-arms in the cafeteria to help braise these. I added peanuts and cilantro..."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian smiled and accepted them.

Since arriving today, she had been assessing, and hadn't eaten much at the cafeteria in the evening.

Being able to have a late-night snack now was truly delicious.

Xiao Niannian opened it and saw that besides pig head meat, there was cold beef salad, peanuts, and a pot of hotpot. Xiao Niannian immediately felt her appetite surge.

"Can the two of us finish all this?"

"Old Qin and Old Shen will be here soon."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Just as they were talking, Xiao Niannian heard a knock at the door.

Lu Jing opened the door, and Political Instructor Qin and Military Doctor Shen walked in.

"Old Lu, do you still have enough private money to spend?"

Military Doctor Shen teased Lu Jing.

Xiao Niannian heard Military Doctor Shen's teasing and said with a smile.

"You can eat less."

"No way, I need to eat more. The last time he treated us, I also paid from my private money."

Political Instructor Qin also laughed.

The group used tea instead of wine and ate for quite a while.

All the food was eaten.

Political Instructor Qin and Military Doctor Shen washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and Lu Jing cleaned up the living room.

The four of them went to the training ground for a walk together.

Xiao Niannian saw that many Soldiers were doing extra training on the training ground, likely in preparation for the competition over the next two days.

Xiao Niannian was quite optimistic about such diligent participants.

However, if they were just cramming at the last minute, then the scores of such participants probably wouldn't be very good.

"There are quite a lot of people on the training ground today."

Political Instructor Qin also remarked.

"The Reconnaissance Battalion's performance over the past two years is much better than before, and there are many good prospects among the new recruits."

"I have also looked at these lists and the previous training scores. There are indeed many good prospects..."

After chatting and watching for a while, the group returned to their rooms to rest.

Three days passed in a flash.

Indeed, more than thirty women had reached the standard of special forces women.

"The following people..."

Xiao Niannian announced the list of selected candidates.
