Chen Guotao smiled but did not answer.
Su Yang felt somewhat helpless after seeing Chen Guotao's expression.
However, Su Yang had done his best and given all the necessary reminders. Now that Chen Guotao had made this choice, Su Yang couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I know my own body perfectly well. Go train now."
Chen Guotao waved his hand, signaling Su Yang to hurry up and go to training.
Su Yang smiled and saluted, then turned and ran towards the training field.
...
The next day...9:30 PM.
All the companies in the regiment turned off their lights and rested.
However, less than five minutes after the lights were turned off, an emergency alarm sounded over the camp, signaling a level-one combat readiness.
Upon hearing the alarm, the soldiers in each company immediately got out of bed, quickly dressed, and carried their pre-prepared backpacks to the company's armory to collect their weapons.
In less than ten minutes, all the companies were assembled, and at the same time, all the vehicles from the regimental headquarters started up and arrived at the entrances of each company.
At the entrance of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, Miao Lian stood opposite the group, facing everyone.
"Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, all units assembled, awaiting instructions! Duty Officer, First Platoon Leader Chen Guotao!"
Chen Guotao reported to Miao Lian.
Chapter Thirty: The Exercise Begins! Please add to your favorites! Please give me flowers!
Upon hearing Chen Guotao's report, Miao Lian gave a solemn salute and then said, "At ease."
"Take a break!"
brush!
Neat, synchronized footsteps sounded.
Miao Lian looked at the group of soldiers in front of him and then gave a brief overview of the annual exercise.
After he finished speaking, Miao Lian immediately instructed Chen Guotao to organize the soldiers to get on the vehicle.
As Chen Guotao was organizing the soldiers to board the vehicle, Miao Lian called out to Su Yang, who was in the ranks and about to board.
"Su Yang!"
"To!"
Su Yang quickly ran to Miao Lian and stood up straight.
Miao Lian looked Su Yang up and down.
He was dressed almost identically to the other soldiers, in camouflage uniforms and helmets, with a backpack on his back. However, what set him apart was that his magazines were filled with loaded bullets.
In addition, he was holding a Type 95 rifle with a 6x scope, and a Type 88 sniper rifle was hanging on his backpack.
In addition, there was a holster strapped to his thigh, inside which was a Type 92 pistol!
Normally speaking, not to mention privates, even veterans and non-commissioned officers are not qualified to be equipped with pistols.
Only officers or those holding the rank of platoon leader or above are allowed to be equipped with pistols.
However, equipping Su Yang with a pistol was a privilege granted to him by Miao Lian.
After all, Su Yang's marksmanship is undeniable, and having an extra weapon on him would certainly increase his combat effectiveness.
"Once we reach the designated combat zone, you will have the right to engage in automatic combat, but you must give me as much force as possible to strike the enemy, understand?"
Miao Lian said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately replied, "Yes, Company Commander, I will let them know how powerful our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is!"
"Well, let's go."
"Yes!"
Su Yang saluted again, then glanced at Zhuang Yan next to Miao Lian, and then turned and ran away.
Zhuang Yan watched Su Yang's departing figure, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Miao Lian for permission to fight.
Miao Lian nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Seeing that Miao Lian agreed, Zhuang Yan excitedly ran towards the car.
.....
Five minutes later...
Several military vehicles drove away from the camp in the dark.
Inside the car...
After the vehicles left the camp, the squad leaders took out camouflage paint and applied it to the faces of the soldiers in each squad.
Applying camouflage paint to the face serves not only to prevent glare and for camouflage, but also to repel insects.
After all, the exercises are all in the mountains, where there are many mosquitoes and other insects. Some of these insects might be poisonous, and if you get bitten on the face, it could very well affect the rest of the exercise plan.
Once everyone had applied their paint, they began to chat quietly.
"Xiao Zhuang, Su Yang, I've applied this now. Will you two still be able to see me?"
Chen Xiwa tugged at Su Yang and Zhuang Yan beside her and asked.
After asking the question, Chen Xiwa saw the face paint on Su Yang's face and was immediately surprised.
"Su Yang! You can even talk on Facebook?!"
Upon hearing Chen Xiwa's words, everyone in the car turned to look at Su Yang.
At this moment, Su Yang's face was painted with a mask that is very common in Chinese Peking Opera. However, because the army's camouflage paint did not have many colors, the original colors of the mask had been replaced. But even so, it was still easy to tell that this was a mask.
"Su Yang... what did you draw? Guan Yu?"
Chen Xiwa asked curiously.
Su Yang laughed and said, "No, I drew Zhong Kui."
Hearing Su Yang's words, everyone looked at him curiously again.
At this moment, Chen Xiwa leaned closer to Su Yang and said, "Su Yang, why don't you draw one for me too?"
"OK.."
Su Yang smiled and nodded, then picked up an oil paintbrush and started repainting Chen Xiwa.
After Su Yang finished drawing Chen Xiwa's face, everyone else asked him to draw one for them as well.
Since he had nothing else to do while sitting in the car, Su Yang naturally didn't refuse and started painting faces for everyone.
.........
Time passed slowly, and the car drove for more than six hours until almost 4 a.m. before finally arriving at the designated combat area.
Chen Guotao immediately ordered everyone to get out of the car, and then organized the personnel into a cross-combat formation to probe forward.
As he groped his way forward, Chen Guotao instructed the communications soldier to contact the forward command post.
The forward command post was not with the company; instead, Miao Lian stayed at the forward command post with the other company commanders.
However, no matter how the communications soldier called, he could not get in touch with the forward command post.
By 8:00 AM, the reconnaissance company had advanced 20 kilometers and arrived near the Blue Army's blockade line.
It was already broad daylight, and they were on the edge of the Blue Army's blockade line, making their movements increasingly difficult. In addition, they couldn't contact the forward command post, which made Chen Guotao sweat profusely with anxiety.
"How's it going? Did you get in touch?"
Chen Guotao lowered his voice and asked the communications soldier not far away.
The communications soldier shook his head with a bitter expression.
Seeing the communications soldier shake his head, Chen Guotao anxiously reached out and scratched his hair under his helmet.
Then, as if remembering something, he waved to Su Yang and Zhuang Yan, who were not far away.
The two quickly walked to Chen Guotao's side.
"You two disguise yourselves, then cross the blockade, reach the forward command post, and hand this over to Miao Lian. Have you cleared it out?"
Chen Guotao said.
Su Yang and Zhuang Yan nodded after hearing this.
But then Su Yang thought of something and asked, "What happens after we deliver the intelligence?"
Chen Guotao said, "After you deliver the intelligence, you are free to act. Miao Lian gave you absolute freedom before. Do your best to destroy the Blue Army's manpower. Zhuang Yan... you can stay with Miao Lian."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan frowned and then opened his mouth as if to say something.
However, Chen Guotao then said directly, "Let's get moving!"
"Yes!"
Su Yang picked up the note from Chen Guotao's hand, turned around, and quickly left.
