Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

He was well aware of Qin Tian's strength; it was already quite remarkable that the other five members of Red Cell could fight him to a draw.

When Qin Tian saw Fan Tianlei arrive, he didn't want to reveal too much of the Red Cells' strength, so he suddenly exerted his power and found a breakthrough by targeting Li Erniu and the pilot.

With one punch, he sent Li Erniu flying, and with another kick, he sent the pilot flying. Then, with a mid-air turn, he took down Wang Yanbing, thus securing the victory.

Although He Xuxiao and Xu Tianlong were skilled in martial arts, they were still unable to withstand the attack and fell to the ground.

"What a pity, we were still a little short!" The five of them couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but they were also quite excited. The fact that they had almost managed to tie with Qin Tian was quite surprising.

"Chief of Staff, what's the matter that requires your personal attention?" Qin Tian asked Fan Tianlei after tidying himself up. Fan Tianlei had been surprised to see the five members of the Red Cell team battling Qin Tian, ​​but the fight ended so quickly.

He could only marvel at how Qin Tian's strength remained so formidable; no wonder he became the youngest colonel.

"Nothing much, I just missed you guys and came to see you." Fan Tianlei jumped out of the car and said with a smile when he heard Qin Tian's question.

Qin Tian naturally didn't believe Fan Tianlei's explanation and jokingly asked, "Is the Chief of Staff here to inspect the work?"

"Inspect? I wouldn't dare. You're a colonel now, just like me. How could I possibly be qualified to inspect you?" Fan Tianlei joked.

"Chief of Staff, please stop teasing me. Let's talk as we walk." Qin Tian didn't believe Fan Tianlei would come for no reason, so he called the Red Cell Team and others to follow.

Fan Tianlei and Qin Tian walked side by side.

"Let's get down to business." Fan Tianlei's smile faded. "There are two main things I'm here for. First, there's an upcoming cross-military region military exercise, a contest between two special operations brigades from our Southeast Military Region and Southwest Military Region. The higher-ups specifically requested your Red Cell team to participate."

"Southwest Military Region? Isn't that the military region where the Divine Sword Battalion is located? What a coincidence." Qin Tian was taken aback when he heard this. Zhuque had just contacted him not long ago, and now they were about to conduct an exercise.

“That’s right, it’s that military region. Huh? Have you already dealt with the Divine Sword Battalion?” Fan Tianlei asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, a member of the Divine Sword Camp contacted me a couple of days ago, wanting me to join the Divine Sword Camp," Qin Tian said. "But I refused."

"Hehe, no wonder. I heard the Divine Sword Battalion will be participating this time, maybe they're here specifically for you. Our entire special operations brigade is being dragged into this because of you," Fan Tianlei said with a smile.

"Are you trying to make me regret it?" Qin Tian frowned slightly, but quickly looked up and asked, "What about the other thing?"

"Another thing is that you're a colonel now, and leading just a few people is a bit too few. The higher-ups want to know if you have any ideas about expanding the Red Cell Group. Coincidentally, we're selecting a group of people to join Wolf Fang recently, and you can be given priority in the selection," Fan Tianlei continued.

"Expand? Select people?" Qin Tian nodded upon hearing this. He did indeed have plans to increase the manpower of the Red Cell Team recently, and he had already found someone. "Chief of Staff, can I find someone from outside? Just like you did with me back then."

"You want to recruit people from outside like I do?" Fan Tianlei was taken aback for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible, as long as the political background check is fine. Besides, since the higher-ups value you so much, they'll definitely give you more conveniences. You're much more influential now."

"Chief of Staff, you're joking. I found someone who also retired from our Wolf Fang unit. He said he was from Warehouse 026. His name is Zhuang Yan, codename Siberian Wolf. Have you heard of him?" Qin Tian continued to ask.

“It’s him…” Upon hearing the name, Fan Tianlei obviously knew him, and then sighed and said, “Zhuang Yan was indeed a good soldier back then, but he retired after accidentally killing a hostage.”

"Then can we bring him back?" Qin Tian asked.

“I can’t make that decision myself; you’ll have to ask the brigade commander. But since you’ve brought it up, he should give you the respect you deserve,” Fan Tianlei said.

"Yes, thank you, Chief of Staff. By the way, what kind of place is Warehouse 026?" Qin Tian asked with some curiosity.

"The 026 Logistics Warehouse was originally a covert designation; its full name is the 026 Special Operations Team of the Lone Wolf Commando Unit of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. They have two groups, A and B. Zhuang Yan was originally in Lone Wolf Group B," Fan Tianlei said directly, without hiding anything. This is a highly classified shadow unit, but given Qin Tian's current status, he is qualified to know this.

"Then I'll go talk to the brigade commander." Qin Tian could tell that this was a special unit, and it seemed that he hadn't misjudged Zhuang Yan; he was indeed capable.

"Are you really not going to the Divine Sword Camp? Have you thought it through? You can only get the best training in the Divine Sword Camp. And you've seen it yourself, the Divine Sword Camp can hold exercises whenever they want. How much power do they have? We're just there to make up the numbers." Fan Tianlei asked with concern.

"I've already made up my mind. And I'm sure the Chief of Staff remembers that I said before I came to Red Cell that I have my own training methods, so I don't need to go to the Divine Sword Camp at all." Qin Tian said calmly, "If they insist on letting me see the power of the Divine Sword Camp, then I'd very much like to see it."

"Then it's up to you." Fan Tianlei didn't force Qin Tian. He wasn't there to persuade Qin Tian on behalf of the Divine Sword Camp; he was just thinking about Qin Tian's future.

The two then talked about the exercise and some military secrets that Qin Tian didn't have permission to know before, and then Fan Tianlei said goodbye and went back.

After seeing Fan Tianlei off, Qin Tian went back and saw He Xuxiao and the others still doing sparring training with great energy. It seemed that the money spent on physical enhancement this time was indeed well spent.

"I wonder how big the gap is between them and the Divine Sword Camp now?" Qin Tian couldn't help but wonder.

He was indeed very interested in a unit capable of directly mobilizing two military regions for exercises. Moreover, judging from Suzaku's skills, this unit was indeed very strong.

He was particularly eager to fight the leader of the Divine Sword Camp that Zhuque had mentioned.

After seeing Fan Tianlei off, Qin Tian made a phone call to Brigade Commander He Zhijun.

He Zhijun seemed to know Zhuang Yan well, and spoke of him with some emotion. In the end, he agreed to let Zhuang Yan return to the army.

China is now expanding its influence worldwide, and the military is also enjoying many more conveniences, with procedures becoming much simpler.

Soon, Qin Tian received Zhuang Yan's second enlistment notice.

This also shows how much He Zhijun values ​​Qin Tian now, almost always granting his requests. The two also discussed the upcoming joint military region exercise.

He Zhijun was obviously very happy to learn that Qin Tian had decided to stay in the Southeast Military Region. He immediately said that he would give priority to the Red Cell Team if Qin Tian needed anything.

Finally, He Zhijun also announced the expansion of the Red Cell Special Operations Group into the Red Cell Special Operations Squadron, and approved the expansion.

Given Qin Tian's current military rank, the Red Cell Special Operations Team could have been expanded into a battalion, but considering his lack of management experience at the company commander level or above, it was first expanded into a company, with several subgroups.

……

The next day, Zhuang Yan arrived at the Wolf Fang base. When Qin Tian saw the "Siberian Wolf" again, he noticed a significant change in him. His long hair was now a buzz cut, his颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, decadence, and apathy) demeanor had vanished, and his eyes were once again filled with fighting spirit.

"Colonel!" When Zhuang Yan saw Qin Tian, ​​he immediately noticed the colonel's rank on the other's shoulder. He quickly stood at attention and gave a proper salute. Even after all these years, he had never forgotten this gesture.

"You're in good shape." Qin Tian was quite satisfied with Zhuang Yan's current condition. He nodded slightly and handed him the second enlistment notice.

Zhuang Yan accepted the notice with both hands, lowered his head to open it, and his eyes instantly reddened when he saw the wolf fang stamp on it. The notice read: "Comrade Zhuang Yan: After review, you meet the requirements for re-enlistment. You are hereby approved for re-enlistment and will join the Red Cell Special Operations Squadron of the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade of the Southeast Military Region. We hope that you will actively fulfill your obligations after enlistment and contribute to the defense of the socialist motherland."

He's finally back.

"Thank you, Colonel." Zhuang Yan's voice trembled with excitement. He paused, then changed his words, "No, Captain."

"The Red Blood Cell Squadron was just expanded from the Red Blood Cell Group. You are the first recruit I brought in after the expansion. I hope you won't disappoint me," Qin Tian said calmly.

"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely not let you down!" Zhuang Yan immediately straightened his back and gave a standard military salute.

"You were a private first class before you retired. I spoke with the higher-ups and they've promoted you to second lieutenant. If you want to be promoted further, that depends on your future performance," Qin Tian continued. Zhuang Yan has a university degree, so becoming an officer would be relatively easier for him.

"Thank you, Captain!" Zhuang Yan was both surprised and delighted. He never expected that he would not only return to the army, but also become an officer.

“However, you currently have the lowest rank in the team.” Qin Tian’s lips curled up slightly as he led Zhuang Yan to meet the other members of the Red Cell Team.

Zhuang Yan arrived at the Red Cell team and was utterly shocked by what he saw. He had already assumed Qin Tian was formidable, given that Qin Tian was likely the youngest colonel in Wolf Fang and even all of China. But he hadn't expected the others under Qin Tian to be so powerful as well!

Before retiring from the military, he was a top soldier in the Wolf Fang unit, but now it seems that anyone in the Red Cell team is better than him.

“Team leader, oh no, now I should call you captain,” the pilot said, stepping forward. They had also received notification that the Red Blood Cell Team had been expanded into the Red Blood Cell Squadron.

"This is Zhuang Yan, codename Siberian Wolf. He used to be in the Lone Wolf Commando Team, and now he's re-enlisted, joining our Red Cell Special Operations Squadron," Qin Tian introduced. He then asked Zhuang Yan, "What position did you hold in Lone Wolf Team B before?"

"Report, it's the first assault soldier," Zhuang Yan said. Back in the day, he was the best assault soldier in the group.

"Show me your skills," Qin Tian said, pointing to the training field ahead. "100-meter rapid-fire target."

At this moment, everyone else stood aside, eager to see what would happen. This newcomer was personally brought by Qin Tian, ​​and they wanted to see what he was capable of.

"I haven't handled a gun in so long... my skills might have deteriorated a bit," Zhuang Yan said with some difficulty. In the years since his discharge from the army, he had been living in a daze, wasting a lot of his time. Most importantly, he still harbored a fear of guns.

Back then, he was the one who shot and killed the person he loved most with his own hands.

"It's alright." Qin Tian handed him a gun.

Zhuang Yan took the gun with trembling hands. Although he had decided to return to the army, he was unsure whether he could truly overcome his fear of firing a gun.

"1262?" He was taken aback when he saw the serial number on the gun. "This is my gun?"

This is the assault rifle he used when he was in the Lone Wolf Commando Team. It was with this gun that he killed Xiaoying back then, which made him feel a pang of pain.

"Look me in the eyes," Qin Tian said, looking at Zhuang Yan. "Get up from where you fell. This gun shouldn't bring you regret, but hatred! You used it to fire your last bullet, and now you must use it to fire your first! In the future, it will be used to kill the real culprit!"

Looking into Qin Tian's eyes, which seemed to possess a magical power, Zhuang Yan's gaze gradually shifted from confusion to determination, like suddenly seeing a lighthouse in a vast ocean, guiding him and dispelling his confusion.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoying, but I will definitely avenge you." Zhuang Yan gripped the gun tightly, his shattered soul reuniting with the past, present, and future. He could not be defeated by suffering, for the sake of his beloved.

"Begin!" Qin Tian commanded.

For ordinary special forces soldiers, the 100-meter moving rapid-fire target test requires them to move forward rapidly for 100 meters within 40 seconds, during which 30 moving targets will appear, and they must shoot down more than 25 of them to pass.

However, the requirements are even higher in Wolf Fang. You need to take down more than 27 enemies within 35 seconds to pass.

Zhuang Yan gripped his gun tightly, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead.

At Qin Tian's command, he seemed to return to the days when he first joined the army, as that unruly new recruit, competing with his squad leader, Lao Pao.

Those actions he thought he had forgotten resurfaced in his mind. He thought that after not touching a gun for so long, he had long forgotten how to fire it, but now he found that firing had become an instinct etched into his bones.

Once he overcame his inner fears, he became incredibly determined.

"boom!"

He pulled the trigger after a long hiatus, firing a bullet once again after three years, accurately hitting the first target that bounced up.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his condition return to normal.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

His eyes were sharp, he ran quickly, and fired continuously, his movements fluid and precise.

In the blink of an eye, only one target remained.

He knelt on the ground, using the momentum to propel himself forward, and as if carrying his faith, fired his last shot.

"boom!"

All thirty rapid-fire moving targets were hit!
"Thirty-three seconds." The pilot announced the result. Hearing his score, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but smile with relief. It seemed he hadn't neglected his studies too much; although this wasn't his best time, it was still above the Wolf Fang's passing grade. (End of Chapter)
