Chapter 84: The Tiger Brigade scouts came to the door?
"Turn right! Run!"
At Liu Guoping's command, all members of the Sixth Company left the square in front of the battalion headquarters and returned to their own camp.
"Squad leader, come and assemble. Everyone else go back and prepare."
"yes!"
Xu Ge followed the veterans back to the tent and stood there stupidly with Li Dongshui.
Neither of them knew what preparations to make.
"Fill the canteen with water and put two rations in the bag."
Wang Lin reminded him, “Also bring the backpack strap and flashlight.”
Li Dongshui was stunned. "I know flashlights are for lighting at night, but why do we carry backpack ropes?"
"To tie people up!" Wang Lin said matter-of-factly, "If we capture the Blue Army, shouldn't we tie them up?"
"Don't just bring these things. We are going out to catch people. You can bring anything you think is useful!" Su Liujun added.
"I understand!"
The two recruits immediately began to prepare.
More than ten minutes later, Guo Yuanshuai returned to the tent, and the first thing he did was to ask everyone to put their collar badges back on.
"Today's uniform symbol is that the right collar cannot be moved, and the left collar is stuck inside out!"
Guo Yuanshuai tore off the rank badge on his left collar and stuck it back on. "If you see a collar badge not stuck this way, take it off immediately!"
"yes!"
"Are you all ready?"
"Ready!"
"Let's go to the kitchen to get the hiking poles first!"
When Xu Ge followed Guo Yuanshuai out, he found that people from other classes were also going behind the kitchen tent, and some of them had already returned with sticks in their hands.
They are called trekking poles, but in fact they are just wooden sticks chopped by the quartermaster and his men with axes, and each one is more than one and a half meters long.
"Pick a thicker one, it won't break easily when you hit someone." Guo Yuanshuai said calmly.
Xu Ge was surprised: "Deputy squad leader, are you really going to fight?"
"If they don't resist or run away after being caught by us, we definitely won't fight them. But they definitely won't surrender, and we don't have guns now."
Guo Yuanshuai explained, "You're still worried about them? Maybe they have something even more outrageous!"
"Understood!"
Xu Ge also ran to the firewood pile and picked out a stick that suited his needs.
Li Dongshui was bending over and constantly picking at something at the base of the tent wall. Xu Ge walked over curiously and found that he was picking up eggs-sized stones and putting them into his bag.
"Why are you picking up rocks?"
"Hidden weapons. If the person I want to catch runs away, I'll throw stones at him!"
"Good idea, give me some!"
. . .
. . .
At around nine o'clock, the six people from Class 9 arrived at the top of a mountain a few hundred meters to the right of the barracks.
Xu Ge looked around and found that the whole mountain was filled with figures wearing military uniforms and holding wooden sticks.
"Deputy squad leader, after all this counter-reconnaissance, is it just a mountain search?" Li Dongshui's face looked grim.
"What do you think?"
Guo Yuanshuai pointed ahead and said, "See that biggest hill? That's our target today. We must clear out those hiding in the mountains in the first few days. Even if we can't catch them all, we must force them all out. Only then will we have time to clear out the people in the surrounding villages and towns."
Almost two months have passed, and the grass and trees around are much taller than when I first arrived.
In addition, everyone's camouflage uniforms are similar in color to the grass and trees, so if people hide in the mountains, it will be quite difficult to find them.
"Spread out, start from here and move to the front row step by step." After saying this, Guo Yuanshuai went downstairs with a stick in his hand.
Li Dongshui waved his stick in boredom. "Squad leader, I don't think we need to look around our camp. The Tiger Brigade shouldn't dare get so close..."
"Shh! Don't talk!" Xu Ge suddenly spoke.
The group of people immediately became nervous and looked over at the same time: "What's wrong?"
Xu Ge frowned and pointed his stick at the bushes more than a hundred meters away: "I thought I heard someone fart over there just now!"
Everyone: ???
"You idiot..." Guo Yuanshuai wanted to curse, "We're on a mission now, don't mess with me!"
"Deputy squad leader, I really heard it!"
Just as Xu Ge was about to explain, a breeze blew by and a foul smell suddenly came into his nose.
"Are there no one from our group in that direction?" Xu Ge said with a serious expression, "I'm absolutely sure someone is taking a shit over there!"
Li Dongshui was shocked. "Damn, you can smell it from such a distance? Why does it feel like your nose is sharper than a white tiger's?"
"That's definitely not as good as a white tiger, but I really smelled it!"
Xu Ge continued, "He might not be able to hear us talking from where we are. So, I'll sneak over and attack him!"
Seeing that Xu Ge didn't seem to be joking, Guo Yuanshuai waved his hand and said, "Su Liujun, go with him and take a look."
Su Liujun waved his hand: "Let's go!"
The two men immediately picked up their sticks and went to the bushes one after the other, while the others followed quietly behind.
After walking a few dozen meters, Su Liujun sniffed and seemed to smell something. He squatted down and whispered, "I'll intercept him in front. You just need to drive him towards me when you get over there."
"good!"
Xu Ge bent down and changed direction, slowly moving towards the bushes. When he turned his head inadvertently, Su Liujun had disappeared.
Poof!
There was another soft sound.
Xu Ge now determined the opponent's exact position, and immediately grasped the stick and slowly moved over.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt something tripping his calf.
Ding ding!
Two bullet shells were tied to the wild wormwood next to it at some point, and they collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Crash!
A figure in military uniform suddenly jumped out from the bushes in front, with half of his white butt exposed, and started running backwards.
"Fuck!"
Xu Ge became anxious and quickly picked up a stick and chased after him.
The guy was pulling up his pants as he ran, and his speed was surprisingly fast in the waist-deep grass!
Seeing the other person running farther and farther away, Xu Ge subconsciously reached out and took out a stone. Just as he was about to throw it, Su Liujun suddenly rushed out from the side of the man, took a step forward and knocked him down.
When Xu Ge arrived, he found that Su Liujun was riding on the other person, with the stick in his hand stuck on the man's neck, making the man's face red.
"Take the rope and tie his feet first!"
"good!"
Xu Ge quickly shook off the backpack rope and randomly wrapped it around the other person's feet a few times.
Su Liujun grinned: "You're quite brave, little fellow! You've even come this far!"
"Ahem! Misunderstanding! I'm one of you, brother!"
The man quickly said, "I'm from the 75th Army Special Investigation Company. I'm just passing by and have a stomachache, so I'm looking for a place to relieve it!"
Xu Ge subconsciously stopped his movements: "Fuck! Then why are you running?"
"You come over quietly with a stick, who wouldn't run away?" the man said unhappily, his tone full of helplessness and complaints.
Xu Ge: ...
He wanted to apologize, but he always felt that something was wrong.
At this time, Su Liujun also got up from the other person, turned the man over, tapped his collar with the stick, looked at Xu Ge and said, "See? You believe everything others say!"
"No, brother, what do you mean... Shit!"
Before the man could finish his words, Su Liujun stepped on his chest and said, "Say less and you'll save yourself the trouble. Do you understand?"
The man glanced at Su Liujun and shut his mouth tactfully.
After seeing the two neatly arranged non-commissioned officer badges on the other party's collar, Xu Ge knew what Su Liujun meant. This guy was not one of them!
Damn, this guy’s acting is so good, I actually believed it just now!
Rustle!
Guo Yuanshuai and others also rushed over.
The Tiger Brigade scout on the ground also noticed the anomaly in the collars of everyone on Xu Ge's side and laughed bitterly, "Damn it, you Wolf Brigade guys are still the most clever!"
. . .
. . .
More than ten minutes later, when the people from Class 9 came back with the captured prisoner, it caused an instant sensation, and even Zhang Hua and Huang Jiabo hurried over.
"Old squad leader, where was the person caught?" Zhang Hua asked.
Guo Yuanshuai pointed to the right side of the camp: "It's less than 500 meters outside the door."
Everyone was shocked.
"Fuck! You guys from the Tiger Brigade are so damn arrogant! You came right to my door?"
Liu Guoping was furious and angry. "You don't take my Wolf Brigade seriously! Take them to the tent!"
"Hey, hey, hey! What do you want to do?" The guy panicked. "This isn't a drill, so hitting people isn't allowed... Oh my god!"
A few minutes later, Su Liujun and Kai Youmu came out of the tent, holding a compass, protractor, paper, pen and other tools in their hands.
Zhang Hua glanced at the tools, then at the contents drawn on the paper, frowning, "These are the coordinates of our camp... No, what does the Tiger Brigade need these for?"
Not only Zhang Hua, but everyone else was also confused.
Although they caught someone, he was not a real prisoner, so they could not torture him to extract a confession. Therefore, they did not expect the guy to tell the truth. Therefore, Kai Youmu and Su Liujun came out directly after the body search.
Guo Yuanshuai also took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. Xu Ge leaned over and saw that it indeed had the coordinates of all the camps on his Second Battalion's side and some other marked numbers.
"What are they doing? Preparing to bombard us?" Guo Yuanshuai looked at the contents on the paper. "They haven't even calculated half of the firing parameters!"
Zhang Hua: "That's no use! We were already in combat position before the exercise began, and the barracks are completely empty."
"Damn it, what the hell is this Tiger Brigade doing with planes? They're leaving those defensive fortifications alone and coming to our camp for what?"
Liu Guoping seemed to have thought of something. "Battalion Commander, what if the Blue Army can launch an attack before the exercise? You're talking about midnight on the 20th. What if they're allowed to attack earlier?"
"Even if he was cheating, it wouldn't be so outrageous, right?" Zhang Hua was a little unconvinced.
Huang Jiabo agreed with Liu Guoping's view: "We haven't fought the Tiger Brigade in many years. Maybe they really have changed their tactics..."
"wrong!"
Guo Yuanshuai suddenly spoke up, "Even if the situation Guo Ping described was really possible, the Tiger Brigade wouldn't have sent anyone here so early. Why do I feel like this person let us capture him on purpose?"
Everyone: ???
"Old squad leader, what do you mean by this?" Liu Guoping was a little confused.
Guo Yuanshuai pointed in the direction where they had caught the man before. "Look, that position isn't the best for reconnaissance. There are at least four or five other places around here with more comprehensive views. Besides, it's just a coordinate. Is it necessary to run so close?"
"That makes sense!" Zhang Hua nodded.
Liu Guoping: "If, as you said, squad leader, this person deliberately let us capture him, then what was his purpose?"
Faced with this question, everyone was silent.
Guo Yuanshuai frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Xu Ge: "You were the first one to discover that person. Do you feel that there is anything wrong with him?"
Xu Ge thought about it carefully and said, "Nothing else matters. I just think this guy has good acting skills."
"Anyone who can be a scout has good acting skills." Guo Yuanshuai said casually and fell into deep thought again.
The others were also silent, each wondering what was going on.
Xu Ge looked at everyone's expressions and somehow thought of his cheap cousin Thor, who always noticed details that others would easily overlook.
If Thor was here at this time, would he be able to discover something different?
Xu Ge tried to put himself in Thor's way of thinking and began to review the matter from beginning to end.
The time and location of the Tiger Brigade scouts, the process of their capture, and their reactions after being captured...
At that time, they were originally planning to go straight ahead, and the bushes where the other party was hiding were ignored from the beginning because they were too close to the camp and it was dark under the light.
Then after I found out, I went with Su Liujun to catch the man, and I touched the warning shell. . .
Suddenly, a light flashed in Xu Ge’s mind, and he seemed to know what was going on!
