Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 181 The battle against Wolf Fang is settled (Please subscribe)

After spending so much time together, Yuan Lang has long lost his initial smiling tiger persona, and his relationship with the Spade A team has become very harmonious.

"The new comrades have been in Team A for so long now, and I haven't had a proper chat with you all. Today we happen to have some time, so let's sit down and have a good talk. Come on, everyone, find a seat and make yourselves at home."

Yuan Lang cheerfully invited everyone to sit down, and he himself sat down on the ground in front of the group.

"Let me ask you a question. Does anyone know why we call ourselves Old A? Why is our brigade called Brigade A?" Yuan Lang asked with a smile.

Jackie Chan definitely knows the answer, but he has no interest in saying it.

There's no need to make a scene like this!

He already shines bright enough; he needs to give other newcomers a chance.

The other veterans also knew this; they had been in the A Battalion for so long, but none of them came forward to report it.

Because they knew that although the captain didn't say it, he was actually asking the new recruit.

Aside from Jackie Chan, the other five newcomers looked at each other without saying a word. They didn't know why they were called "Old A".

A full 10 seconds passed.

"Report!"

Wu Zhe stepped forward, preparing to get up.

"No need, no need, sit down and let's talk," Yuan Lang said, pressing his hand down.

"Qi Huan once said, ABCDEFG, A is the boss," Wu Zhe replied.

"On the battlefield, there is only life and death, no boss. If anyone still thinks that way, I'll beat them to death."

Yuan Lang made a gesture, pretending to punch the air while saying, "I hate people who act like bosses. What does it mean to be a boss? Bullshit."

Fortunately, Qi Huan was leading the team in training and wasn't here, otherwise he would have been mortified to hear Yuan Lang's words.

After thoroughly criticizing the so-called "boss's" remarks, Yuan Lang asked again, "Can anyone else tell me what the true meaning of the 'Old A' is?"

"Report!"

This time, it was Tuo Yonggang who stepped forward.

"You tell me," Yuan Lang said.

"I tend to agree with Instructor Cheng's explanation. 'Old A' means elite, representing that only the most outstanding people can become Old A."

Tuo Yonggang's answer was very cunning, and he also dug a small pit for himself.

If Yuan Lang rejects Tuo Yonggang's answer, it means that Old A is not an elite in the army, which is to deny the existence of the A Brigade.

If you don't strive to become an elite special forces member and the strongest support for your country and people, you won't succeed.

Then why bother forming a special forces unit?

It was rare for this brute to be so clever, so Yuan Lang couldn't help but look at him with new respect, clapping his hands and saying, "Good, very good, a good answer."

Old A truly represents the elite of the military. You were all selected from tens of thousands of soldiers, and each of you can be called a king of soldiers.

But you only got part of it right, or rather, only one aspect right. Does anyone have the rest of the answer?

Yuan Lang looked at Jackie Chan and saw his confident smile. He knew the answer immediately: finding Jackie Chan was no fun at all.

He then turned his gaze to Xu Sanduo, who looked nervous, as if he were afraid of being called out.

"Xu Sanduo, do you know?"

Yuan Lang has a very playful nature; he'll ask anyone who doesn't know the answer.

"I...I don't know," Xu Sanduo stammered, his voice trembling with nervousness.

"Do you play cards?" Yuan Lang asked abruptly.

Xu Sanduo couldn't understand Yuan Lang's meaning and became even more nervous.

He looked to the left at Wu Liuyi and was met with a shrug, meaning he didn't know either. He then looked to the right for help from his older brother, Jackie Chan, but Jackie Chan didn't even glance at him.

After seeking help from all sides to no avail, Xu Sanduo could only nervously force himself to say, "I...I...I don't play cards. Playing cards is meaningless."

"This is boring. I don't even play cards. It's really boring."

Yuan Lang said with a look of disdain, "If you don't play cards, what do you do besides training? Training, eating, sleeping, training in an endless cycle? That's truly meaningless."

"If training is meaningless, then what is meaningful?"

Xu Sanduo stared blankly at Yuan Lang, his mind a little slow to process what was happening.

My long-dormant silliness has resurfaced.

"Playing with you is no fun at all."

Yuan Lang looked at Xu Sanduo's dazed and silly appearance, and waved his hand dismissively.

With a serious expression, he said to his teammates, "Catch the Ace is our favorite card game. The Ace must be hidden and kept secret until the very end to win by surprise. That's the essence of the Ace."

Your instructors at National Cheng Kung University taught us that one of the three principles of close-quarters combat in indoor environments is the one that represents Old A's ability to achieve surprise victories.

Unfortunately, none of you expected that you were all so stupid, so incredibly stupid.

After being reminded by Yuan Lang, the members of Team A of Spades immediately realized what was going on.

Realizing that although Yuan Lang's question was very obscure and seemed to have nothing to do with what Jackie Chan taught, the two were actually the same thing, albeit through different paths.

With just a little thought, you'll realize that they're all interconnected.

It's just that the way it's expressed is different!

Even though the answers were already in their heads, they couldn't apply them flexibly. Yuan Lang was right; they really were incredibly stupid.

Seeing that he had finally enlightened the fools, Yuan Lang's lips curled into a wide smile.

The question was asked again: "Is there a third meaning? Does anyone know it?"

Seeing Yuan Lang's lewd smile, Jackie Chan decided to play along and raised his hand to ask, "Excuse me, may I answer?"

"No!"

Yuan Lang refused without even thinking, leaving Jackie Chan both amused and exasperated.

He then got up, ran over to Wu Zhe, sat down next to him, put his arm around his shoulder, and said affectionately, "Great scholar, you must chat online a lot, right? Why don't you explain it to everyone?"

"In online chat, they say 'A' means to lie. If I 'A' you, then I'm lying to you. The third meaning you mentioned should be that war is about deception, and you should 'A' the enemy. As for you and us, then it's even more 'A'," Wu Zhe replied.

"Hahaha."

Yuan Lang burst into laughter like a madman, patting Wu Zhe on the head and saying, "Well done, 'drawing inferences from one instance,' are you waiting to mock me? You've become naughty too, but you actually got it right."

As Yuan Lang spoke, he stood up, walked to the front of the line, strode forward, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Old A is all about hiding ourselves, like a ghost, invisible and intangible."

Compared to Class B troops, we don't have any special status. The A Battalion is just an organizational unit, and we are not superior to anyone else in terms of status.

We must be willing to keep things hidden and willing to be out of the spotlight.

Everything you did in Team A was not a complete success, nor did it lead to instant advancement, and I will remain the same scoundrel you all talk about.

Yuan Lang mocked himself as a lousy person and made a funny face with his tongue sticking out, which made everyone laugh.

The abnormal Yuan Lang is actually quite fun.

Having explained what it means to be a true member of the A-team, Yuan Lang, who was joking and laughing just a second ago, suddenly became serious and said, "Now you are qualified members of the A-team. From now on, we will have to stay together. Staying together is a test."

It could happen anytime, anywhere, or it could last a lifetime.

With the exception of a few individuals, everyone present was intelligent and understood the meaning behind Yuan Lang's words.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit oppressive!

The ever-changing and charismatic Yuan Lang once again took control of the situation. His expression instantly shifted to a hip-hop look, and his voice suddenly rose as he said, "However, there is one thing I can guarantee: I will make sure that every day of yours is different."

What Yuan Lang said was different was indeed different, and in fact, he quickly fulfilled his promise.

The core purpose of Yuan Lang organizing this chat was to tell Jackie Chan and the other newcomers that they were now on his side.

He truly gained Old A's approval!

Later, to show that they had become one of his own, or to prepare for something, Yuan Lang officially asked the newcomers to give him nicknames.

That is, the code name used during operations.

Yuan Lang took the initiative and set an example, completely disregarding Xu Sanduo's information and whether he would agree, by officially announcing Xu Sanduo's nickname—

complete!

The reason was that Xu Sanduo was too verbose. When reporting over the radio, he would finish every sentence, which gave Yuan Lang a headache.

Since you like saying "finished" so much, then just call it "finished" directly.

Wu Zhe said he enjoys gardening and wants to adopt "Hoe" as his nickname.

Yuan Lang started acting silly again, thinking that the name "Hoe" didn't sound good, so he teamed up with Qi Huan and decided to call themselves "August 1st Hoe".

Because Duke Huan of Qi was nicknamed "August 1st Kitchen Knife".

Wu Zhe didn't have much of an opinion; he didn't dislike the name "August 1st".

The only thing that bothered him was his codename, which was the same as the Butcher, the character he used to hate the most, which made him a little unhappy.

It's impossible for Qi Huan not to have been traumatized after torturing Wu Zhe so badly.

Wu Liuyi said he wanted to be called the Seventh Company because he came from the Steel Seventh Company, and he couldn't forget his roots and he had to remember this name.

Yuan Lang immediately rejected the name, saying it wouldn't work and that it would be better to call him Twelve.

The reason is that Wu Liuyi's total number is exactly twelve.

Wu Liuyi was speechless.

To prevent them from using even more bizarre code names, they had no choice but to accept the default.

Tuo Yonggang was afraid that Yuan Lang would give him a random code name, so he stuck out his neck and said loudly with an expression that said he would not change it, "I am called Eagle. It is my favorite animal."

"Okay, let's call it Steel-Beaked Eagle."

Yuan Lang made the decision immediately, but the two words he added didn't quite feel right.

It all seems like Gangzi is being stubborn!

Then two more newcomers were given nicknames, and the process was the same as before. Yuan Lang would eventually jump out and cause trouble, changing the nicknames to strange and unusual ones.

Jackie Chan was the last one to get a nickname, and he was smart enough to learn from his mistakes.

Since Yuan Lang was going to come up with random changes anyway, Jackie Chan simply gave up on naming things and said to Yuan Lang, "Captain, you're so good at naming things, why don't you come up with the name yourself?"

"Jackie Chan, you really know how to talk."

Yuan Lang was very satisfied with Jackie Chan's self-awareness and stroked his chin, thinking for a while.

He said confidently, "With your 300-pound arms, you're like a human tank. So let's call you the August 1st Tank. The three of you will form the August 1st series."

August 1st kitchen knife, August 1st hoe, August 1st tank.

This is a fucking idiom.

Jackie Chan was speechless!

Yuan Lang, with a burst of wild and unfounded ideas, easily came up with the code name for the new member. Just then, the communications officer ran over and said that the captain wanted to see him.

"Alright, that's all for now. Let's call it a day."

Yuan Lang stood up, clapped his hands to dismiss the team, and jogged all the way to the captain's office in the cadre building.

Before the captain could even speak after submitting a report, Yuan Lang had already pushed open the door and walked in. He skillfully sat down in the chair opposite the captain, picked up the cigarette case on the table, and started eating.

The captain, Tie Lu, wasn't angry at all, as if he had already gotten used to it.

He pushed the document in front of Yuan Lang and said, "The application to fight against Wolf Fang has been approved. This is the General Staff's approval document."
