Chapter 99 Gunshots before dawn!
"Chief of Staff? Which Chief of Staff? Is it Deputy Chief of Staff Gao who came to investigate last time?" Luo Shan asked.
"No, it's Chief of Staff Liu from the brigade."
Xu Ge replied, "He even gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the shooting training."
Luo Shan's expression changed: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"Probably not..."
"Platoon leader, I saw it too. It really is the brigade's chief of staff, a colonel!" Li Dongshui followed.
Now Luo Shan and the three squad leaders' expressions became serious.
"Platoon leader, why did Chief of Staff Liu come here in person?" Du Hu asked in a deep voice.
"Something's wrong. I'll go check out the situation. The troops are brought back and put on standby in the class. The assessment is probably going to start soon!"
"yes!"
Class 1 is on the first floor. Standing at the door, you can see the playground outside through the window in the corridor.
Kai Youmu watched for a while and then returned to the class: "The platoon leader is right. The equipment for the drill test has already been set up on the playground!"
"Everyone change into new training uniforms, wear hats and belts, and get ready!" Du Hu said immediately.
For a moment, a tense atmosphere began to spread, and there was no sound in the entire building.
After a while, Luo Shan came back and the three squad leaders immediately went to greet him.
"Platoon leader, what is the assessment process?"
"Theory and marching in the morning, martial arts, parallel bars, and the 400-meter race in the afternoon."
After Luo Shan finished speaking, the three squad leaders were stunned for a moment. Du Hu asked in confusion, "So, tomorrow we're going to test tactics and long-distance running?"
The scheduled assessment time is two days, but the items scheduled for the first day are obviously much more than those for the second day.
"I find this strange, too. The instructor is accompanying the chief of staff on an inspection tour of the camp. I expect there will be news later."
Luo Shan ordered, "First, have everyone quickly review the regulations. If you can't remember them, read them several times."
"yes!"
Half an hour later.
Beep beep beep!
"Everyone, wear hats and belts, bring pens and stools, and gather in the cafeteria!" the duty officer shouted outside.
The new recruits immediately grabbed their things and went out to assemble. Before leaving, Zhou Meng was about to secretly put the order in his trouser pocket, but Du Hu saw him, grabbed it and threw it back on the table, then kicked him in the butt:
"What the hell were you doing this morning? You're bringing cheat sheets at this hour, aren't you? You're looking for death, aren't you?"
After gathering at the playground, Xu Ge found that Luo Shan and the other two platoon leaders were also carrying stools and standing in front of their respective platoons. Liu Guoping personally organized the team and led the team to the cafeteria. Then each company began to count the number of people.
A major came in with several captains and lieutenants.
Liu Guoping turned and saluted. "Comrade examiner, the new recruits from the Wolf Brigade's First Regiment are taking the final assessment. 433 people are supposed to be present, and 430 are actually here. One of them will be on duty, one will accompany the commander on his inspection, and one will be a sentry. Please give your instructions!"
The major responded with, "All cadres and backbones, please leave. New recruits, please sit down!"
"yes!"
After the officers and squad leaders left the mess hall, several lieutenants began distributing the examination papers. The major walked to the front and said:
"Comrades, each of you will have two papers. You don't need to write your name on the questionnaire. During the exam, you are not allowed to talk or look around. Anyone who violates this discipline will be disqualified immediately..."
. . .
. . .
Outside the cafeteria, all the cadres and squad leaders were standing on the playground waiting, and Huang Jiabo came over hurriedly.
"Three company commanders and the quartermaster, come here!"
"yes!"
The company commanders followed Huang Jiabo to the equipment yard. Liu Guoping couldn't help but ask, "Parastater, where's the chief of staff?"
"He was on the phone in the car. He told me not to accompany him next time."
Huang Jiabo looked at the company commanders and asked, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with this assessment?"
Everyone nodded.
They were all veterans with rich experience. When they saw that the brigade chief of staff was leading the team personally and the assessment subjects were arranged in this way, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Instructor, where did you go with the chief of staff just now?" Liu Guoping asked.
Huang Jiabo: "We went to the weapons depot first, and then to the war reserve warehouse."
Liu Guoping frowned. "Are you inspecting these two places to conduct armed training?"
"There's so much snow everywhere. The national highway is probably blocked. Where can we take the troops?"
The second company commander shook his head and said, "Old Liu, you are too sensitive. This is a new recruit camp, not an old company."
Liu Guoping insisted, "Second brother, have you forgotten Chief of Staff Liu's background? It was he who came up with the Wolf Brigade's philosophy of 'training as close to actual combat as possible'!"
"I think what Guoping said makes sense."
Huang Jiabo said in a deep voice, "Chief Steward, no matter what, we must be prepared first. All the supplies in the war reserve must be replenished."
"yes!"
"First Company Commander, you're a former scout. After dinner, you and Luo Shan will take a few squad leaders out from behind the kitchen and climb over the wall. Take a look around. If the brigade headquarters is truly planning a surprise attack, there's bound to be some clues nearby."
"yes!"
"Everyone else should go back and inform the squad leaders so they can have a clear idea of what to do in advance. Don't panic and make a fool of yourself by the leaders in the brigade!"
"yes!"
. . .
. . .
Since there were many assessment items arranged on the first day, the recruits could be said to have been tossed around non-stop for the entire day.
By the time dinner was over, everyone was too tired to walk.
The overall assessment results of Class 1 are very good. The theoretical results have not come out yet, but except for two people who scored well, the rest of the team members scored excellent. As for the 400 meters and parallel bars, all members scored full marks!
"Huh? Where are the squad leader and deputy squad leader?" Li Dongshui asked curiously, "Why did they disappear right after dinner? I was planning to practice tactical hand signals tonight."
The new recruits then realized that Du Hu and Kai Youmu had not returned after dinner, and they couldn't help but become curious.
"Come, let me help you with your lessons." Seeing that the monitor and deputy monitor were not there, Xu Ge took the initiative to say.
With his current tactical level, it is more than enough for him to teach Li Dongshui.
"good!"
Seeing that the usually lazy Li Dongshui became active, the other recruits also began to prepare for the assessment the next day.
At around seven o'clock, Du Hu and Kai Youmu returned to the dormitory feeling cold.
"Xu Ge, has Dr. Lin contacted you in the past two days? Did she say when the blitz will be?"
As soon as he came back, Du Hu looked at Xu Ge and asked.
"No, she seems to be very busy these past two days." Xu Ge asked puzzledly, "Squad Leader, what happened?"
"There are a lot of new sentries outside our camp. I wonder which unit they're from." Kai Youmu said with a serious expression, "I have a feeling if this is really a surprise training exercise, it might be tonight!"
"Fuck!"
"Is this true?"
The new recruits were all surprised. Xu Ge quickly asked, "What about tomorrow's tactical assessment?"
"I don't know what the higher-ups have arranged!" Du Hu said with a serious expression, "Everyone, take out your combat readiness bags and check to see if anything is missing or if there's anything in there that shouldn't be!"
"Sergeant, what is the content of the training? They won't let us rush up the mountain in this heavy snow, will they?" Li Dongshui was scared.
Du Hu lowered his head and checked his combat readiness bag. "It depends on the time. At night, it's usually short trips, and during the day, it's long trips. It also depends on how we reach our destination. Damn it, squad leader, where's my compass?"
"Here I am!"
"Check everything carefully for me!"
"Sergeant, I...I'm out of my individual rations." Zhou Meng said in a low voice.
Du Hu was about to explode: "Where are your dry food?"
"Last night I was so hungry that I ate..."
"I'm going to eat you! Fuck you!"
Du Hu pointed at Zhou Meng's nose and started to curse, "Did I ever say that you can't touch anything in the combat kit? Huh? Did I ever say that?"
Zhou Meng lowered his head and said nothing.
Kaiyoumu sighed, "I'll go ask the quartermaster for another pack."
"Oh my god, the quartermaster and I are from the same hometown." Du Hu walked out angrily.
"What are you all standing there for? Fill your water bottles!" Kaiyoumu continued to direct, "Anyone's boots are wet? Dry them quickly."
"Put on clean socks, everyone. Do you have any candy? Put a few in the kettle..."
. . .
. . .
After everyone finished their work, they sat quietly in the classroom waiting.
According to Du Hu's experience, if it is a night training, it should be before ten o'clock.
Beep beep beep!
The sudden whistle startled everyone and made them jump up. Xu Ge subconsciously reached out to grab the belt on the head of the bed.
“Lights out!”
Following the duty officer's shout, the entire camp was plunged into darkness in an instant.
"Hold!"
Du Hu cursed, "Are you really going to wake us up in the middle of the night?"
Since there is no order at this time, it means there will be no order before twelve o'clock.
"Everyone go to bed, and remember not to sleep too deeply!"
Xu Ge simply didn't take off his pants, but only took off his coat and got into bed. As soon as he lay down, a buzzing sound appeared.
He reached under his pillow, pulled out his phone, and opened it. It was a message from Lin Wan: "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock!"
"Look, squad leader!" Xu Ge hurriedly handed the phone to Du Hu.
Du Hu jumped out of bed, put on his coat and ran out. He wanted to inform Luo Shan.
A few minutes later, Du Hu came back.
"Set the alarm for 5:40!"
"Well done, Xu Ge. The platoon leader said, I wish you and Doctor Lin a baby soon!"
Xu Ge: ...
"Squad leader, can we sleep peacefully now?"
"Go to sleep!"
"Squad leader, if we're going to the training tomorrow morning, will Baihu go too?"
"Go ahead. It won't get in the way."
"Woo-woof!"
Nothing happened that night. Before dawn the next day, a group of new recruits were woken up one by one by Du Hu.
"Go to the toilet first and keep quiet!" Du Hu said in a low voice.
"Squad leader, do you want to pack your backpack?"
"Don't call yet, let's see how to notify you later."
Ten minutes later, at six o'clock, the light was at its darkest before dawn, and there was no movement outside the camp.
Kaiyoumu looked at Xu Ge: "What's going on? Is the information wrong..."
Bang bang bang!
Dadada! Dadada!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out and the entire camp was in an uproar.
The recruits were all confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Oh my god!!! Are they serious?!" Du Hu was shocked!
The next moment, a strange voice yelled from outside: "Everyone, gather for battle!"
