Chapter 128: Recognition? Arrival at the battlefield!
“In fact, before I came here, the brigade commander specifically emphasized the issue of risk assessment.”
Lao Wang looked at everyone and said, "I said at the time that all risks will be borne by us, Tianlang!"
"cut!"
Guo Yuanshuai sneered, "What's the matter? You guys from Tianlang aren't human, right? I have three soldiers who just passed the selection, and I don't even want them to go if you say that!"
Lao Wang: ...
"Squad Leader, that's not what I meant!"
Liu Guoping quickly stood up and said, "Old squad leader, during dinner, Wolf Head was discussing the details of the operation with me. He has already taken the situation you just mentioned into account in the plan!"
Guo Yuanshuai: "Really? Then what did you discuss?"
Liu Guoping looked at Lao Wang and motioned him to speak.
Lao Wang: "The reason I said that if we encounter an unexpected situation, our Sixth Company will retreat is because the main force of this operation is the Tianlang. Although I came here to take full command, I never intended to use the Sixth Company as cannon fodder!"
"The Sixth Company's main mission is to block the enemy, and at least to gain a terrain advantage. For example, we can launch an attack when the enemy is climbing a mountain or crossing a river, forcing them to retreat."
"I'm not saying that the Tianlang people are necessarily better than you, but they do have more opportunities to see actual combat! When the enemy panics and flees, the chances of winning the battle with zero casualties are greater."
"If all else fails, we'll just keep releasing them. Let them out of Kunlun Mountain. In the open areas, we have an armored company from our brigade and a helicopter formation from the group army to provide backup. We'll definitely try to avoid casualties as much as possible."
Lao Wang's words not only answered Guo Yuanshuai's question, but also gave all the cadres and backbones present a reassurance.
Guo Yuanshuai then sat down and said nothing more.
Next, Lao Wang continued to explain the task deployment.
"We can't confirm whether there are any enemy spies here, so the process of going to the mission location must be secret and cannot be detected by the enemy."
Lao Wang looked at Guo Yuanshuai and Luo Shan, "Deputy Company Commander Luo, Squad Leader, your third platoon will be the first to depart, in civilian vehicles."
Seeing Guo Yuanshuai about to ask another question, Lao Wang immediately said, "We have an undercover agent in the enemy team. Xu Ge and Li Dongshui know each other. I need them to announce the undercover agent's appearance to everyone as soon as possible, so the third row must always be at the front."
After hearing this, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately realized: the nanny has gone to act as a guide and is now in the enemy team!
Guo Yuanshuai nodded and motioned Lao Wang to continue.
Lao Wang: "On the way to the Tash Ancient Road, no one must reveal their whereabouts for any reason. I have already communicated the specific itinerary to the leaders of each platoon. Squad leader and Luo Shan, report immediately after you two lead your teams to arrive!"
"clear!"
"My call sign is Wolf Head. The Sixth Company's original call sign remains unchanged. I emphasize again, I am the supreme commander!"
"yes!"
"The third platoon will depart overnight. The rest of you are on standby. Dismissed!"
Everyone immediately stood up and left, and the backbone members of the third row rushed down the stairs first.
. . .
. . .
In Class Nine, everyone was busy packing their uniforms and war supplies. Liu Guoping was pulling Jiang Da awkwardly at the door.
A few veterans saw it and pretended not to see it.
Guo Yuanshuai was bending down and asking Niu San to help him apply the plaster.
"Squad leader! Hey, are you busy?"
Liu Guoping pushed Jiang Da inside and shouted with a smile.
Guo Yuanshuai turned around and saw Jiang Da and Liu Guoping with embarrassed expressions, and shouted, "Stand up!"
"Hello, Company Commander! Hello, Instructor!" Everyone immediately stood at attention and greeted them.
Jiang Da quickly waved his hands: "Okay, okay! Everyone, just focus on your own things, don't worry about me!"
Guo Yuanshuai looked at Jiang Da and said, "Instructor, I was a little harsh up there just now. Please don't take it to heart!"
Jiang Da was stunned at first. He had never expected Guo Yuanshuai to apologize first. He quickly shook his head, his expression very excited: "Deputy Guo, no, no, no, you are right! I came here specifically to apologize to you!"
The other people in Class 9 paused in their busy movements. Guo Yuanshuai was also a little puzzled: "Apologize?"
"Deputy Guo, your criticism during the meeting was actually quite correct. I was indeed thoughtless when I spoke. I admit my mistake!"
Since the conversation had already begun, Jiang Da put aside his pride and spoke directly.
"I came here first to apologize, and second to explain that what I said at the time did not mean I was taking the soldiers' lives lightly. I have gone through every single person in the company, from their family situation to their personal situation. It can be said that besides their families, I am the person who knows them best!"
Guo Yuanshuai took out a cigarette and handed one to Jiang Da and Liu Guoping while Jiang Da was talking.
Jiang Da looked very excited, and Liu Guoping helped him light the fire.
"Deputy Captain Guo, you don't know that everyone in the Sixth Company is like family to me! How could I possibly want to send everyone to their deaths?"
Guo Yuanshuai exhaled a puff of smoke: "So what did you mean by that just now?"
Jiang Da: "I am..."
"Squad leader, he hasn't participated in any real combat!" Liu Guoping took over the conversation. "Jiang Da started his internship at the headquarters right after graduation. He's only been with our Wolf Brigade for a little over a year. He didn't even participate in the New Year's Eve operation. He stayed on duty in the company."
"To put it bluntly, he's just too complacent. He thinks our Wolf Brigade is invincible and thinks the enemy is too weak! As for casualties and damage, honestly, he hasn't considered those things... I just criticized him with Wolf Head!"
Guo Yuanshuai looked at Jiang Da and asked, "Are you going on this mission?"
"go!"
Jiang Da quickly said, "I will definitely go. My military skills are no less than any other soldier!"
"This operation is under command, just don't act on your own!"
"I know!"
"Alright, you two commanders, stop wasting my time here and hurry to the armory! Our third platoon is about to get their weapons and equipment!"
"good!"
. . .
. . .
Because it is a time of war preparation, the equipment in the armory is very complete after replenishment.
Lao Wang was already inside. Seeing that everyone in the third row had arrived, he made various adjustments on the spot.
"How many snipers? Just two from Squad Nine? Send one more from each of Squads Seven and Eight!"
"No? Why not just send the one with the best shooting skills? If the soldiers are not good enough, the squad leader can do it himself! Yes, this gun will be given to Li Dongshui!"
"That's not standard carry! We have so many individual bazookas. Those who can carry them should carry them. Each person should carry two! Those who are physically fit should carry three! There are also grenade launchers. Each squad should have at least three! The weapons we gave you are for fucking!"
"Where are the machine gunners? Each machine gunner should be assigned a dedicated assistant! Quick! At least 500 rounds of ammunition!"
"Fuck! Grenades aren't heavy, can you bring a few more? Xu Ge! Come on, help carry three drums..."
Under Lao Wang's shouting, the armory was in chaos, and everyone was scrambling for New Year's goods as if they were at a rural fair during the Spring Festival.
If Guo Yuanshuai hadn't been unable to bear it anymore and started scolding him, Lao Wang would have wanted the third platoon to carry a company's worth of weapons and ammunition.
"Are you fucking sick? We are the Sixth Company, not you Tianlang! We haven't even put on our bulletproof vests yet, are you trying to tire them out?"
"Oh! Okay, let's do this for now. You guys go out first, the car has arrived!" Lao Wang looked regretful.
Xu Ge followed the others and staggered downstairs to the playground.
Soldiers like to use the word "Christmas tree" to describe fully equipped rifles. Xu Ge now feels that he is a human Christmas tree.
In addition to his own weapons and equipment, he had two more rocket launchers and eight more grenades than usual. He also brought four sniper magazines for Li Dongshui and Wang Lin, and three machine gun drums for Kai Youmu. Before leaving, Lao Wang stuffed a grenade launcher and a string of grenades into his hands.
He didn't feel tired, but instead felt an unprecedented sense of security!
With all the ammunition he has, if he uses it sparingly, he can go and kill XX!
While waiting for the others to come down, Niu Sanxian suddenly said, "Hey, why did we only bring enough dry food for one day? Father Xu, did you say it would take at least a few days?"
“3-5 days!”
Xu Ge said, "Even if we arrive tonight, our target hasn't reached Aksai Chin yet. We should carry at least three days' worth of food..."
Beep beep beep!
"Cooks, assemble! First, come to the armory to get your guns, and then set off with the third platoon!" Luo Shan's shout came from the second floor.
Xu Ge: ???
"What the hell? Really? The whole company is going out? Even the kitchen team?"
Guo Yuanshuai said calmly, "If we all go out and the kitchen staff doesn't follow us, how many days will we be left out in the cold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clanging sound.
Several figures rushed out from the kitchen, each with a big bag on their backs. The kitchen leader even ran in front carrying a big pot!
Twenty minutes later, all the members of the kitchen team stood behind the third row with their guns on their backs.
Luo Shan quickly walked to the front: "Count!"
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10."
“Missing 3!”
"37! All here!"
"Turn right! March!"
The fully equipped team began to walk towards the camp gate. Xu Ge in the team moved his ears and suddenly smelled a familiar smell.
"What the hell! Why is White Tiger here too?!"
"Ah? Is this true?"
“Woo woo woo!”
As soon as everyone walked out of the camp, they saw three figures at the door, each holding a military dog.
The white tiger's white fur is particularly eye-catching. It squats on the ground with a majestic look. It is a whole circle larger than the other two!
"Hey, Baihu! Why are you here too?" Guo Yuanshuai was quite surprised.
The white tiger had a shield on its mouth and was squatting there motionless, without looking around.
Xu Ge walked over and patted the guy on the head: "What are you pretending to be?"
Baihu squinted his eyes and glared at Xu Ge.
Du Hu on the side spoke up: "Squad leader, platoon leader, we have received orders to come over and join you, and act together!"
Luo Shan waved his hand and said, "OK! Get in line!"
"yes!"
Three trainers and three military dogs immediately followed the team.
After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a van parked on the side of the road and someone was standing at the front of the van smoking.
"Woo-woof!"
A white shadow suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and shouted at the white tiger at the end of the team.
Luo Shan, who was walking in the front, was stunned for a moment and signaled the team to stop.
When the driver saw the person arriving, he immediately threw down his cigarette butt and trotted over.
"Baby! Come back!"
The driver yelled at the white dog, then looked at the team and the leader Luo Shan, "Wow! You are going to war! Commander, you are going to Hotan, right? My car has been requisitioned..."
"My fellow countryman, why is it you?!" Luo Shan was the first to recognize the other party.
Old Wei was startled at first, then his face was filled with ecstasy as he rushed forward to shake hands with him: "Oh! It's you, Platoon Leader!"
Others: ???
Guo Yuanshuai first glanced at the white police dog on the side of the road, then seemed to understand something. He turned back with a look of surprise and said, "Is this the driver you rescued in the recruit company? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Xu Ge, Li Dongshui, and Kai Youmu were also stunned: "What a coincidence!"
At this time, Du Hu had already come over with Bai Hu, his face full of disbelief: "My fellow villager, why is it you?!"
Old Wei also recognized Du Hu. He shook his hand excitedly, then looked at Bai Hu and said in disbelief, "This is... This is the puppy I gave you last year?"
Du Hu smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's called Baihu now, and it's already a military dog. It even won a third-class merit in the last exercise!"
"Oh my goodness! Good! Good! Really good!"
Old Wei said "good" three times and waved to the white dog on the side of the road, "Come here quickly, baby, this is your son! He's made it big now!"
Next is the large-scale family recognition ceremony.
The doll hesitated, but seemed to sense the blood relationship and walked straight towards the white tiger.
The white tiger tilted its head and looked at the baby for a while, then suddenly walked forward and rubbed its shielded head against its mother.
“Woo woo!”
"Woo-woof!"
The white tiger is now nearly 20 centimeters taller than its mother, but it rarely shows the posture of a puppy.
A group of people watched and sighed.
"My friend, why was your car requisitioned?" Luo Shan started chatting with Old Wei.
Old Wei smiled and said, "Since yesterday, I heard that the army at Sanshili Barracks is recruiting drivers. They say they need to transport some important supplies. However, it is the peak season for transportation now, and the price you offer is not high, so not many trucks are willing to come.
You all know me, I definitely support our troops. I didn't expect to be told after arriving that I was recruiting people! Hahahaha!"
"My friend, do you know our destination?"
"I know. The commander has already told us to go to Tash Township in Hotan. I've been there before and I'm familiar with the route!"
Luo Shan was delighted: "That's great! But we can't be exposed at all times. Even if we encounter a car inspection on the road, we can't stop..."
Old Wei waved his hands and said, "I understand, I understand! I've already put a sign in front of my car. The commander told me to treat this trip as a red notice. No one dared to check anyway!"
"That's fine, let's get in the car first!"
"Okay! Get in the car!"
. . .
. . .
Luo Shan naturally trusted Old Wei, so before setting off, he asked if there was a shortcut.
I didn't expect that Old Wei actually knew about it. He said that there was an ancient Sangzhu Road that could save us half the distance. However, firstly, the ancient road is now a military restricted area and trucks are not allowed to pass through it. Secondly, the road conditions are a bit poor.
"So, taking the Sangzhu Ancient Road you mentioned can avoid all the checkpoints on the national highway?"
Luo Shan immediately realized that this was a very suitable route and there was no need to worry about being discovered by the enemy's spies, so he reported it to Liu Guoping and Lao Wang as soon as possible.
Lao Wang made a prompt decision and immediately decided that everyone should take the Sangzhu Ancient Road.
"Fellow countryman, let's take the shortcut you mentioned!"
"But there are soldiers guarding that place..."
"Have you forgotten that you are now a Red Notice driver?"
"Yeah! Let's go, sit tight!"
Amid the roar of the engine, the truck turned off the national highway and onto a narrow dirt and stone road.
In summer, the carriage is already stuffy, and the soldiers are carrying a large amount of weapons and equipment, so they are sweating all over as soon as they get on the train.
Fortunately, Lao Wei's car is used to transport agricultural products and is equipped with air conditioning, so it is not unbearable even when running at full power.
However, the road conditions were indeed very bad. The car was shaking violently, and the car was stuffy, so many people's faces became increasingly ugly.
Baihu accurately found Xu Ge's position in the darkness and lay in his arms with a look of despair on his face.
"What's wrong? Dogs get carsick too?" Xu Ge rubbed Baihu's head and smiled bitterly.
“Woo woo!”
Baihu responded weakly.
Seeing the white tiger suffering, Xu Ge reached out and took off the shield on its face.
It was visible to the naked eye that the white tiger's condition had improved a lot.
The smell in the carriage was getting worse and worse, and many people had begun to twist and turn uncomfortably.
Guo Yuanshuai's face darkened as he shouted, "Whoever dares to vomit in the car, I'll make him eat it himself!"
Everyone:!!!
Not knowing how long he was jolted in the dark, Xu Ge suddenly felt the car stopped in a daze.
There was no other sound around except the sound of the wind.
squeak!
The carriage door was opened, and a cool breeze blew in, waking everyone up.
"Everyone get out of the car! Quick!"
whoosh!
A white shadow rushed down, and the white tiger lay on the grass beside it and vomited all over the ground.
"Fuck! Baihu, you fucking..."
The soldiers were shocked by Baihu's vomit and felt their stomachs cramping. They quickly jumped out of the car and moved away.
Baby: "Woof?"
Old Wei, looking distressed, poured some mineral water into Baihu's mouth: "Look how shaken the child is!"
The baby also ran over to the white tiger and sobbed and whispered comforting words.
Du Hu came over and took Bai Hu by the hand: "Fellow countryman, we still have a mission. Come and see Bai Hu next time you have time!"
"Hey! Okay, okay, get down to business!"
Old Wei quickly waved his hands and said, "I just received a call from the chief, asking me to go back and make another trip."
"goodbye!"
Luo Shan has already started to form his team.
"It's 2 a.m. now. We're three kilometers away from Heishan Village. We need to get to the alpine pasture before dawn!"
"Fuck!"
Others didn't know what this meant, but Xu Ge and Li Dongshui knew where the alpine pasture was.
"Platoon leader, why are you so anxious?" Xu Ge asked.
Luo Shan: "We're outnumbered and will be a big target, so we can't move during the day! Xu Ge and Li Dongshui will lead the way as we move forward. Everyone, be careful not to make any noise!"
"yes!"
