Chapter 124: Inspecting the troops!
Facts have proved that Guo Yuanshuai was right.
The next day, the troops received an order to enter full combat readiness.
All in all, this was Xu Ge's second time participating in combat readiness after joining the company. He had some experience and did not seem to be panicked.
But the veterans began to complain.
He was about to be discharged from the army, and Lin Wan had already contacted a doctor and a bed. He was just about to ask for leave to see a doctor and have surgery, when he was suddenly on war alert.
During the combat readiness period, all leave and outings were cancelled to ensure the presence of personnel, so the veterans naturally could not go to the hospital for surgery.
"Why prepare for war now, not earlier or later? Damn it!"
"Come on, stop nagging me. Have you ever seen anyone pick the right time to fight a war?"
"So what should we do now? Should we have Father Xu quickly talk to Dr. Lin about pushing the appointment back?"
Xu Ge held up his phone: "Lin Wan has sent a message, and they have also received the combat readiness notice."
"Looks like we really need to take action. Are you going to give us a real combat before we retire?"
"Maybe! Hey, if that's the case, then maybe I can kill one or two enemies before I go back!"
"What are you thinking? We don't even know if it's our turn!"
Just as everyone was secretly speculating, the Wolf Brigade had already started moving the next day.
Just like last time, military vehicles roared past the door, and the scene was unprecedentedly large. This time, even anti-aircraft guns were deployed!
It was not until this time that everyone realized that this war preparation was more important than they had imagined.
The veterans began to discuss among themselves that Guo Yuanshuai received several calls every day from people in other units asking him about the situation.
If a war really breaks out, not to mention personnel transfers, even the time of discharge might be delayed!
. . .
. . .
Just when everyone was secretly guessing, Old Wang, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared in Zhang Fengxue's office in the brigade headquarters.
"Brigade Commander, we've checked it out!"
Old Wang, familiar with the situation, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "The Stan military wasn't involved in this. When they learned that the drugs were destined for Leh, they deliberately turned a blind eye. They didn't anticipate that the enemy would ultimately ship them to our region."
Zhang Fengxue nodded, not surprised: "That's fine."
Such a large quantity of goods could only have come from Golden Crescent.
The Golden Crescent is located at the junction of Pakistan, Iran and the Taliban. It is one of the three major sources of drugs in the world, second only to the Golden Triangle in size.
Naturally, these three countries have become major drug producing countries, especially the Taliban, which has always maintained close ties with the legal poppy cultivation Tiandu.
As for Tiandu, there have been many precedents in history of supplying opium to China, and it became even more rampant after the rise of the Golden Crescent.
Two of the world's three major sources of drugs are located around the country. It is conceivable that they will naturally attract China's iron-blooded attack.
In recent years, the Wolf Brigade has actually participated in many secret operations.
This time, when Zhang Fengxue learned that the batch of goods from Leh had crossed the border from Stan, he immediately asked Wang to find out what role the Stan military played in it.
If the other party becomes a backer of the hostile organization like Tiandu, then the situation will be escalated!
Fortunately, Wang Lai brought back reassuring news.
"In other words, the biggest supporter behind this organization is the Tiandu military, just as we previously speculated."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fengxue tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. "So, they're deploying troops at the border now, pretending to be aggressive, in order to draw our attention there so that the goods can enter through Hotan smoothly?"
Lao Wang nodded. "Not only that, they probably want to use this batch of goods as start-up capital to establish multiple secret bases along the border and complete their infiltration of us!"
"It's been several months. Do you have a complete understanding of these people?" Zhang Fengxue stared at Lao Wang. "I have already signed a military order with the military. This time, we must catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Lao Wang immediately stood up and stood at attention. "Please rest assured, Commander. We have all the enemy's actions under control. If they come, they will never return!"
"We must act simultaneously on these three battlefields: the border, Leh, and the Tashkurgan Road. I will personally command the Wolf Brigade against the Sky Poison Mountain Division. What are your thoughts on the choices for commanding the remaining two locations?"
"Brigade Commander, Tianlang and his men are, after all, breaking into enemy territory to wipe out the enemy. They need to be quick, accurate, and ruthless. I don't think it matters much whether I go there or not. The plan has been formulated. Lei Shen and Yang Shaojie are enough."
Lao Wang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll be responsible for the interception operation on the Tash Ancient Road!"
"Okay, you can choose the personnel yourself."
"Then let's go with the Sixth Company of the First Regiment. I'm familiar with their commander, so communication will be easier."
Zhang Fengxue paused after hearing the name of the Sixth Company of the First Regiment. He didn't immediately express his opinion, but instead asked, "Have you conducted a risk assessment for this operation?"
"With you personally in charge at the border, there will definitely be no problems!"
Lao Wang flattered him first, then continued, "After the Tianlang army advances into Leh, they'll complete the elimination of the enemy before the Tiandu army can react. Then, they'll immediately move into Aksai Chin and pursue the enemy transporting the goods from behind, completing a pincer attack!"
"If the timing is accurate, the intercepting team only needs to stop the enemy, and all the risks of the entire operation will be borne by Tianlang!"
"Then it's settled. You will command the Tash Ancient Road!"
Zhang Fengxue slammed the table and made the final decision, "First, uproot this organization, and then deal with the drug lords on Jin Xinyue's side who are close to Tiandu!"
Lao Wang stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
"By the way, where is Old Face now?" Zhang Fengxue suddenly remembered something and asked.
Lao Wang: "He is still monitoring the enemy in Leh and will not return until the operation is completed."
"Do you Tianlang have any other outstanding snipers?"
"Brigade Commander, do you have any other mission?"
Zhang Fengxue: "The military sent us the latest sniper rifle and wanted to find someone to test it out. Even reporters came along."
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment: "What gun? Could it be the new 202?"
Zhang Fengxue nodded: "Yes, it's the international caliber .338."
"My people have already rushed to Shiquan River and are on standby!"
Lao Wang pondered for a moment, "How about letting those two new recruits test their weapons? Their current skills should be good enough, as they've already been selected for the Tianlang."
"Are you talking about the two in Xiaoshuai's class?"
"right!"
Zhang Fengxue didn't hesitate this time and nodded: "Okay, go call Gao Wen and let him take charge of this matter."
"yes!"
. . .
. . .
After entering combat readiness, the troops' daily training content became mainly tactical and shooting.
After Xu Ge settled the system rewards last time, in addition to physical fitness, the two items that added the most points were also these two items. Therefore, Guo Yuanshuai noticed it as soon as he made a move in the training ground.
"Ge Bao, you've made great progress in the 200 meters!"
After listening to the target report, Guo Yuanshuai patted Xu Ge on the shoulder and said, "Oh my god, now it's a stable 90+! Not bad!"
Xu Ge was brimming with confidence after receiving the compliment. He suddenly turned around and asked, "Deputy Squad Leader, I can now run quickly and accurately within 30 meters. Do you think it's possible for me to do the same over 100 meters, or even 200 meters?"
Guo Yuanshuai was stunned by Xu Ge's words: "What do you mean? You want to do a 100-meter rapid-fire?"
Xu Ge grinned: "Hehe, I have this idea..."
"You know, the reason you can shoot a shell at 30 meters is because you can see the target clearly with your naked eyes, and the trajectory of the bullet doesn't change at this distance."
Guo Yuanshuai frowned and said, "But beyond 100 meters, it's a different story. Putting aside whether you can see clearly, you can't even control the dispersion of the bullets! Because the firing speed is also related to the force you pull the trigger.
Not to mention that at 30 meters you can rely on muscle memory to ignore the aiming process, but beyond 100 meters you must aim first no matter how much you practice. I have never heard of anyone who can shoot rapidly at long distances! "
"Deputy squad leader, I've seen someone shooting with a sniper rifle while running. He was fast and accurate within six or seven hundred meters!" Xu Ge's mind flashed with the scene of Lao Lian sniping the enemy abroad.
Guo Yuanshuai knew who Xu Ge was talking about: "Are you talking about the big bearded guy who loves candy in Hidden Wolf?"
"Um!"
"Why would you compete with him? He made his living by killing people. He's only good at hitting people. He's terrible at shooting!"
Xu Ge: ???
Li Dongshui, who was lying on the ground and about to fall asleep, perked up immediately after hearing Guo Yuanshuai's words and quickly turned his head: "Deputy Ban, you said that Brother Lian got his fame by killing people. What do you mean?"
"Literally. This guy has been a changed man since he came back from the Wakhan Corridor that year. He only cares about headshots! As for what happened over there..."
"Old Guo!"
A shout interrupted Guo Yuanshuai, and Gao Wen came over with two reporters.
"Hello, Deputy Chief of Staff! Hello, Reporter Zhuang!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui quickly put down their guns and stood up.
"What a coincidence, we meet again!" Zhuang Xiaotie looked at the two of them with a smile.
Guo Yuanshuai looked at Gao Wen and then at Zhuang Xiaotie and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for two new recruits in your class to go on an official business trip." Gao Wen said with a smile.
The three of them were stunned. Guo Yuanshuai was puzzled: "Another business trip? Lao Gao, this is a war preparation period. Didn't the order from the regiment say..."
Gao Wen interrupted, "The brigade commander personally ordered Xu Ge and Li Dongshui to test the guns!"
"Testing the gun? Testing what gun?" Guo Yuanshuai asked curiously, "Why are there reporters following us?"
"Have you seen the news recently? The TRG42 set a new long-range sniper kill record on the battlefields of Da Mao Er Mao, surpassing the previous record of 2,500 meters for medium-caliber sniper kills held by the AWM."
Gao Wen said with a smile, "We've always had a shortage of .338 caliber rifles, and now there's a new sniper rifle!"
"Wow! Chief of Staff! Are you asking us to shoot the 8.6mm 202?" Li Dongshui exclaimed.
