Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Long Xiaoyun introduced various new technologies and software, all of which had never appeared in other units and were researched and developed by the First Division itself.

Even though Deputy Commander Zhong was very knowledgeable in the military region, he was still stunned by what he saw along the way.

The E5W system has very comprehensive coverage, including not only military training and command, but also the status of logistics supplies, equipment operation, and the location of aircraft and tanks.

Under Long Xiaoyun's skillful and detailed explanation, Deputy Commander Zhong's eyes were truly opened.

I recalled learning from Deputy Commander Wang that the E5W system development was able to be completed ahead of schedule thanks to a computer expert.

So, out of curiosity, he asked, "Is your computer expert here?"

"Who?"

Long Xiaoyun didn't react.

After all, there are dozens of computer experts in the lab, and it's impossible to tell who this nameless person is.

"The leader is referring to Jing Xiaoshu," Minister Wang reminded him from the side.

"Yes, that's him. I heard he made great contributions to the development of the E5W system and is a rare and special talent. The military region is preparing to give him special recognition."

Hearing such high praise from Deputy Commander Zhong, Long Xiaoyun was genuinely happy for Jing Xiaoshu.

He immediately called out, "Jing Xiaoshu, come here."

"Coming, coming right away."

Jing Xiaoshu, who was sitting in front of the computer coding, got up and ran over as she responded.

Upon recognizing that it was Deputy Commander Zhong, whom he had personally coached during the last confrontation, he immediately gave a fairly standard salute and said fluently, "Greetings, Commander."

From simply bowing and scraping when they first entered, they now greet others with a smooth and natural bow and salutation.

Jing Xiaoshu is making very rapid progress.

He truly deserves to be called a highly intelligent person.

"I think that if you want to shake hands with high technology, you have to shake hands with a PhD first," Deputy Commander Zhong said with a smile, extending his hand.

"Sir, I don't have a doctoral degree," Jing Xiaoshu said modestly.

"But you have a doctoral degree," Deputy Commander Zhong acknowledged.

"As for skill level, it's more than just a PhD; it's at least a postdoctoral fellowship." Jing Xiaoshu deliberately showed off, making everyone laugh.

"Stop bragging. If it weren't for Minister Wang's concern, you wouldn't even be able to get your military uniform yet," Long Xiaoyun teased.

"He just happens to have a special connection with military uniforms," ​​Minister Wang said with a smile.

"Long Xiaoyun, the enemy isn't asleep. They've been plotting something in the shadows all along. Your information brigade is the first to be targeted," Deputy Commander Zhong warned.

"Reporting to the commander, we have already made contact with the enemy. We are confident and capable of completing the mission," Long Xiaoyun said confidently.

"Great, very good, I wish you every success."

Deputy Commander Zhong was very satisfied with the Information Brigade, and the inspection officially ended there.

Next up is the Army Aviation Brigade!

"Comrade Commander, the Army Aviation Brigade is conducting equipment inspections. Please provide instructions. Deputy Brigade Commander Qiu Weimin." The deputy brigade commander went up to submit the report.

"Proceed as planned."

"yes!"

After completing the standard meeting process, the formal inspection work begins.

"Where is your Captain Liang?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked as he looked at the equipment.

"Sir, Captain Liang had some family matters to attend to and asked for leave to go home," Qiu Wenming replied as he followed.

"What time is it? Why are you still asking for leave?"

The inspection for Operation Crouching Tiger was about to begin, but the battalion commander was not present, which greatly displeased Deputy Commander Zhong. He immediately ordered with a cold face, "Have him bring him back tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll contact him later," Qiu Weimin replied.

During his time in the first two battalions, Deputy Commander Zhong fully experienced the remarkable progress of the First Division and felt what a new type of digital synthesis division should be like.

Although the squadron leader was not present when I arrived at the Army Aviation Brigade, the overall training work went quite well.

Nothing particularly outstanding, but nothing wrong with it either.

Deputy Commander Zhong thought this was just an isolated case, but little did he know that this was only the beginning of a bad situation.

Under Wu Yiwen's overly conservative and cautious approach, the First Division became like glass held in its mouth, with all training having to be conducted under absolute safety conditions.

This made training very restrictive, which frustrated the other teams.

Units like armored battalions, army aviation battalions, and shipping battalions, which are bound to face danger during training, have very poor training results.

This is not.

When Deputy Commander Zhong left the Army Aviation Brigade with a little dissatisfaction and arrived at the shipping brigade, he saw that the ships were parked very neatly as soon as he arrived at the dock.

The fact that the shipping convoy was not conducting any training and was completely stationed at the dock had already made Deputy Commander Zhong frown.

When he boarded the first boat, Fang Yaqiu, the captain of the shipping fleet, was sitting at the bow fishing while wearing a straw hat.

Now is the last bit of time for the acceptance process, just like the final sprint before the college entrance examination.

Every minute and every second is important.

As a result, the shipping fleet was like a retirement community, with no sense of tension or training from top to bottom, and was even excessively leisurely.

Deputy Commander Zhong's face fell completely, and he approached Fang Yaqiu with a dark expression.

"What are you doing?"

Faced with Deputy Commander Zhong's dark-faced question, Fang Yaqiu suddenly felt a chill and could only bite the bullet and answer, "I... I was fishing."

"Okay, okay, very good."

Deputy Commander Zhong laughed in exasperation, walked over, took the fishing rod from Fang Yaqiu's hand, and mocked, "The shipping brigade has become a fishing brigade, huh? Good, very good."

After saying that, he suddenly pulled out his fishing rod and threw it far off the boat.

Seeing how angry Deputy Commander Zhong was, Fang Yaqiu wanted to explain, but after opening her mouth, she gave up, not wanting to provoke him further.

Deputy Commander Zhong was so angry that he lost all interest in visiting the shipping fleet and stormed off.

On the way to the armored battalion, Deputy Commander Zhong thought about the slackness of the shipping battalion, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and the angrier he got.

I simply couldn't be bothered to go to the armored battalion again and stop this pointless visit.

It's time to get down to business!

So he had the driver pull over to the side of the road, got out of the car, looked around, and saw that the location was perfect. He then ordered Minister Wang, "Notify the First Division's operations duty room to have the information, armored, and missile battalions conduct a joint emergency mobilization."

They were required to reach Luwankou and assemble within half an hour.

"Yes, then shall we wait at the assembly point?" Minister Wang said.

"No, I want to watch them pass by from here," Deputy Commander Zhong said, pointing to the ground.

"Yes."

Minister Wang nodded, turned around, and said, "Secretary Zhang, receive the order from the propaganda chief in the duty room of 10."

"Yes."

Secretary Zhang received the order and quickly relayed it.

With only half an hour to spare, the three brigades assembled in the shortest possible time and then headed towards their destinations in their fastest possible way.

However, the information team had only gone halfway when the entire convoy suddenly stopped on the road.

Minister Wang, who was observing through binoculars, immediately said to Deputy Commander Zhong, "The Information Brigade has run into trouble; all the vehicles have broken down."

"The vehicle broke down. We've only towed it halfway. How could this happen?" Deputy Commander Zhong exclaimed incredulously, picking up his binoculars to look through.

"Dragon Master, we're out of fuel and can't get any more. What do we do now?" Qu Ying asked anxiously.

"Leave one platoon on guard, the rest of you abandon the vehicles and run. You must reach Luwankou within the allotted time no matter what," Long Xiaoyun decisively ordered.

"yes!"

Qu Ying received the order and immediately went to relay it.

The several hundred members of the information brigade were forced to abandon all their equipment and continue their journey by running.

As a specialized force that relies on information warfare, without equipment, they are no better than ordinary people.

Even if they reached the assembly point in actual combat, the information battalion would be a useless unit, and they would only be able to eat dry food there.

Under Wu Yiwen's bizarre policies, the only option for the information brigade was to walk.

soon.

The armored battalion came into view, dozens of tanks rumbling in, kicking up clouds of yellow dust, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

The missile squadron consisted entirely of various special vehicles, all of which were camouflaged.

To avoid revealing their position, they moved slowly. Although there were many vehicles, the scene was relatively "quiet" and lacked the imposing presence of an armored battalion.

"Both the armored battalion and the missile battalion are doing well, and their advance speed seems to be about the same." Deputy Commander Zhong finally smiled again.

"These two are the two battalions that Jackie Chan was temporarily assigned to when he went down to the army. It seems they've made a name for themselves in their cases." Minister Wang didn't forget to give Jackie Chan a shout-out.

"Yes, it has indeed been very effective."

Remembering that Jackie Chan was the division commander he had once favored, Deputy Commander Zhong smiled even more broadly and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, we'll wait for them at Luwankou."

Get in the car and leave.

Off-road vehicles are best suited for the rough, yellow dirt roads here. Deputy Commander Zhong and Minister Wang set off in their vehicles, heading straight for their assembly point.

To highlight the success of this assembly, Deputy Commander Zhong also notified all high-ranking officers in the division headquarters.

Wu Yiwen, Political Commissar Lu, Cheng Long, and others, under the orders of Deputy Commander Zhong, boarded helicopters and rushed to Luwankou at top speed.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Deputy Commander Zhong arrived at the assembly point with a group of high-ranking officials. Less than three minutes later, the armored battalion, a steel torrent, was the first to arrive at the assembly point.

Boldav jumped off the tank and jogged to the front of Deputy Commander Zhong.

Salute and report: "Reporting to the Deputy Commander, the 1st Division Armored Battalion has completed its assembly. Please give instructions. Armored Battalion Commander, Boldav."

Less than ten seconds after Badaf's report, an off-road vehicle sped up and stopped at the target.

Gundam opened the car door and got out, jogging to stand next to Boldav. After saluting, he reported, "Reporting to the Deputy Commander, the missile squadron has arrived as ordered and has completed its deployment according to the battle plan. Please give instructions, Squadron Leader Gundam."

Deputy Commander Zhong did not speak, but simply raised his left hand to look at the watch on his wrist.

Then he said, "Very good, you arrived three minutes early. Stay put and wait."

"yes!"

"yes!"

Gundam and Boldav stood at attention and answered.

There is still one team that has not yet arrived at the assembly point, and everyone is waiting for their arrival.

Nearly a minute later, a group of panting soldiers finally came running from afar, with Long Xiaoyun at the very front.

"Comrade Deputy Commander, the First Division Information Battalion has been ordered to arrive at the assembly point at the designated time. Please give instructions. Battalion Commander Long Xiaoyun."

Long Xiaoyun was panting heavily when she gave her report, which showed how rushed she had been on her way here.

Given his physical condition, he shouldn't be this tired from running such a short distance; he was mainly helping other soldiers along the way.

The information brigade is primarily composed of technical personnel, and they are severely lacking in physical fitness.

"You guys are really punctual, not a second off."

Deputy Commander Zhong glanced at his watch again and asked with great confusion, "I'm very curious why your vehicles broke down? Don't you usually keep your vehicles on standby?"

Military units need to maintain equipment and facilities on a daily basis, and ensuring that vehicles have a sufficient supply of fuel is fundamental.

I ran out of gas after only a few kilometers.

This is a huge mistake!

It would have been better if Deputy Commander Zhong hadn't brought this up, because as soon as he did, Long Xiaoyun got furious and shouted angrily, "Because there's no fuel!"

"No fuel? The logistics department hasn't been short of you. Where did all the fuel go?" Deputy Commander Zhong was even more puzzled.

"The brigade has no authority to allocate any fuel; it's all controlled by the division. We weren't allocated fuel at all, so we have no fuel," Long Xiaoyun said indignantly.

It's utterly shameful that such an important information brigade doesn't even have enough fuel to drive.

As the team leader, how could Long Xiaoyun not be furious?

"Where did this rule come from?"

When Deputy Commander Zhong heard about such a bizarre thing for the first time, his shock had already suppressed his anger.

"The division said that using vehicles might cause accidents, so in order to ensure safety and prevent accidents, they ordered a reduction in vehicle use as a safety measure."

Long Xiaoyun was not one to back down from trouble; as he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Wu Yiwen.

Back when Jackie Chan was the current leader, there was no way such bizarre rules existed. These were all tricks played by Wu Yiwen after he came to power.

When Deputy Commander Zhong heard Long Xiaoyun talking about the regulations that came up in one division after another, he was so angry he almost laughed.

He looked at Political Commissar Lu with a dark expression, leaving Political Commissar Lu completely bewildered. It was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing, since he was in charge of politics but not military affairs.

Deputy Commander Zhong glanced at Wu Yiwen again, making Wu Yiwen so nervous that sweat beaded on his forehead.

Deputy Commander Zhong knew there must be a problem here, and in order to get to the bottom of it, he turned his attention to other people.

"Boldav".

"arrive."

Boldav answered loudly.

"Then let me ask you, if the information brigade is out of fuel, how are your troops able to be mobilized? And how are all the heavy weapons in place?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked.

"Reporting to the commander, we have activated our reserve fuel," Boldav replied loudly.

Upon hearing this answer, Deputy Commander Zhong became even angrier.

Strategic fuel reserves are exactly what the name suggests; they are prepared for use in the event of war and should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

But now, Boldav has used up its superior combat readiness in a single training exercise.

This is a serious violation!

"How dare you use reserve fuel during a normal mobilization? Whose idea was this?" Deputy Commander Zhong shouted sternly.
