Chapter 79 A Warm Invitation from Old A (Two chapters combined, please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Xu Sanduo ran like the wind through the mountains and forests, returning to Hill 034 in less than three minutes.

They found Gao Cheng, whom they had been eagerly anticipating for a long time. They paced back and forth in the command post, their footsteps leaving a row of pits on the ground.

Without even wiping the sweat from his face, Xu Sanduo saluted and reported loudly.

"Report...Report to the company commander, our squad leader and the boss are back, and...and they captured a prisoner. The boss told me to tell you that the prisoner has a high rank, he's a lieutenant colonel."

When Xu Sanduo ran back, he was in a hurry, and his breathing was heavy and intermittent as he spoke.

but.

Gao Cheng understood, and his heart burned with excitement.

"So what if he's a lieutenant colonel? The higher the rank, the better. If we can capture a general, that would be even better."

Having a powerful person in the family is awesome. Gao Cheng speaks with confidence, waving his hand and saying, "Go ahead and take me to meet him."

"yes!"

Xu Sanduo saluted and quickly led the way.

Before, he was just a burden in the company, unable to do anything by himself. Now, he can finally do things, even if it's just running errands, Xu Sanduo is extremely happy.

because.

He finally became a useful person!

"You lot, come with me."

Gao Cheng left the command post and went outside, making sure to bring a few soldiers from the Seventh Steel Company with him, so that the overall impression was perfect.

Xu Sanduo led Company Commander Gao Cheng back the way they came, and on the way they encountered Jackie Chan and his two companions.

Gao Cheng led a group of soldiers towards us, and he certainly looked quite impressive. He had a firm grasp on the demeanor of a company commander.

"Wow, you got here pretty fast."

Yuan Lang stopped there and calmly watched Gao Cheng walk over.

Gao Cheng walked over and looked at Jackie Chan first, his eyes full of approval. If there weren't outsiders present, he would definitely have gone up and praised him properly.

Then he nodded to Shi Jin, a nod that came from the bottom of his heart.

"In the past, we untied him."

When he was less than two meters away from Yuan Lang, he gave an order to the soldiers following behind him, stopped, and looked Yuan Lang up and down expressionlessly.

They discovered that the clothes and equipment worn by the prisoners were completely different from what they were wearing.

First of all, the combat uniform was not the Type 87 camouflage uniform, but a camouflage uniform that Gao Cheng had never seen before, but which looked exceptionally high-end.

The combat uniform is worn over an individual combat vest, not the Type 81 camouflage chest rig currently in service with the army.

They were also wearing khaki high-top combat boots, which were much cooler than the camouflage rubber shoes worn by the members of the Steel Seventh Company.

Shi Jin was still holding a camouflage suit with many strips of cloth attached.

"Is that the Blues lieutenant colonel? He's dressed really flamboyantly."

Gao Cheng's words were laced with sarcasm, yet his expression remained haughty.

"hehe."

Yuan Lang stretched his freed hands, thinking that Gao Cheng wanted his clothes as a trophy, and unhesitatingly tore off the Velcro to get out of the clothes.

"No, no, no need, you don't need to take your clothes off."

Gao Cheng reached out to stop Yuan Lang and said coldly, "You are not dead, but a prisoner of war. Treating prisoners of war well is our army's consistent policy."

Yuan Lang didn't mince words, reattaching the Velcro and saying, "I'm a bit wronged."

"Everyone who dies on the battlefield will probably say they died unjustly. You are not the first, nor will you be the last."

Gao Cheng didn't let Yuan Lang lead him by the nose and went to ask him why he claimed to be innocent, showing that both his IQ and EQ were on point.

"The company commander of the Seventh Steel Company, right?"

"Takashiro." Takashiro answered immediately.

"I already received the notification. Based on the timeline, the exercise will end in less than an hour..."

"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush," Gao Cheng interrupted.

Yuan Lang wasn't annoyed by being interrupted. He calmly said, "I fought your entire company by myself, and the casualty ratio was only one to eight. I lost."

"Ha, are you trying to make fun of us?"

Gao Cheng was amused and annoyed by Yuan Lang's inexplicable words, and retorted irritably, "You traded one of your lives for eight of ours, and you call that a loss?"

"Originally, I was thinking of trading one for 25, ideally with zero casualties. I'm worth that price."

Yuan Lang's words were so arrogant, he didn't treat the Steel Seventh Company like human beings at all, but like pigs to be slaughtered, which made Gao Cheng's face fall down in anger.

They didn't care that he was a lieutenant colonel; they knew they had to be considerate and respectful in their words.

He immediately retorted sarcastically, "Such a big mouth! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? If you were really that capable, how come you've only completed a third of it and already become a prisoner of my Steel Seventh Company?"

"That was the original plan, but who knew we'd run into a monster."

As Yuan Lang spoke, he looked at Jackie Chan and said with a grin, "Private, you're great, really. I've never been beaten so badly by anyone before. You're the first. I'll remember you."

"What? You want revenge on my soldiers?"

Before Jackie Chan could even speak, Gao Cheng stepped forward to protect his son, saying sternly, "I'm his company commander. If you have any problems, come at me. I'll take them all."

to be frank.

Hearing Gao Cheng's words warmed Jackie Chan's heart.

This feeling is hard to express accurately in words, but it can make your eyes inexplicably sting, as if something is about to burst out.

Keep in mind that the other party is from an army group or above; even with a powerful father, he might not be able to protect himself.

Gao Cheng was able to stand up and say this: I am his company commander, so come at me if you have any problems.

That really takes guts!

Yuan Lang seemed taken aback by Gao Cheng's words, staring at him blankly for three seconds.

He then laughed and said, "You're a good company commander, that's for sure. But why are you making such a fuss? I'm not going to eat him. In fact, I'm more afraid of being eaten by him, right, you big monster?"

When Yuan Lang said the last two words, Chong Chenglong playfully raised his chin.

"A giant monster??"

Jackie Chan was utterly disgusted by the insane-sounding name given to him, so he pretended not to hear it and turned his head away.

This made Yuan Lang chuckle, and his eyes shone even brighter as he looked at Jackie Chan.

That was an intense desire to obtain it!

Gao Cheng noticed that the other person's gaze was a bit off, and seemingly casually took a step to the left, standing between the two of them, and asked very seriously, "I want to know where you came from."

"My name is Yuan Lang."

Yuan Lang's answer was concise and brief.

"The place we came from, not our name," Gao Cheng emphasized.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You know the confidentiality regulations, right? Knowing too much won't do you any good." Yuan Lang finally put away his joking smile.

"You are my prisoner, and I have the right to ask which secrecy clause I violated? Tell me, and I will listen attentively to your instructions."

Gao Cheng stood upright, acted justly, and had a valid reason and evidence, completely disregarding Yuan Lang's threats.

Yuan Lang knew he couldn't escape this hurdle. Gao Cheng was more difficult to deal with than the other company commanders. He got up, walked to Gao Cheng's side, and whispered two words in his ear—

Old A!

"Thanks."

Upon hearing those two words, Gao Cheng understood everything. There was no need to ask any further questions. He turned and left, waving his hand and saying, "Jackie Chan, take him back."

As a company commander with connections, he knew what was taboo.

This is Old A.

Asking too many questions is indeed against the rules.

Company Commander Gao Cheng left, along with the soldiers he brought. Xu Sanduo and Shi Jin also left, leaving only Cheng Long and the prisoner Yuan Lang.

"Take me away, you've captured my great monster!" Yuan Lang shouted with a laugh.

"You have a real talent for naming things, but I hope you don't use it on me."

In just an hour or so of contact, Yuan Lang had already given me several names, one after another.

None of them are repeated.

Jackie Chan really couldn't take it anymore!

As he spoke, he picked up two broken guns and a Type 92 pistol from the ground and walked towards the camp.

There's no need to escort the prisoner; he'll catch up.

"Your company commander has been very good to you. If you leave, won't you be reluctant to part with him?" Yuan Lang really wanted to run up to him, and said with a smile.

Jackie Chan understood the implication: Yuan Lang was preparing to recruit him.

There wasn't much excitement.

He calmly said, "The army is like an iron camp with ever-changing soldiers; that's its nature. There's nothing to be reluctant about. Just keep the important things in mind, and that's enough."

"Good, what a case of an iron camp with ever-changing soldiers. I admire your awareness."

Yuan Lang was very satisfied with Jackie Chan's answer, thinking that everything was under control. Old A was just missing a goal-scoring player, and now he could fill that gap perfectly.

He grinned!

……

Regimental Command Post.

A camouflage utility helicopter flew over and landed on an open area outside the camp. A colonel and two officers got out of the helicopter.

This person is the Blue Team's Deputy Chief of Staff.

He wasn't angry at all that no one greeted him; he found the regimental command tent as accurately as if it were his own barracks.

Pushing Bu Lian aside, he walked in, crossed his legs, and sat down in the chair at the conference table, saying loudly, "It's so hot here!"

Even indoors, he didn't take off his sunglasses; this attempt to show off was really over the top.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words: the large, well-ventilated operations center had been destroyed, and they were now forced to hide in this small, stuffy tent.

"If you're bored and it's hot, then go out and do it. Who invited you anyway?"

Commander Wang spoke irritably, but he obediently walked to the conference table.

The deputy chief of staff picked up the cigarette case on the table and took it out to smoke as if it were his own, using the same lighter that Commander Wang had used.

It didn't ask its owner a single question throughout the entire process, displaying a somewhat arrogant attitude.

Just as the deputy chief of the general staff lit his lighter, Regiment Commander Wang rushed over, grabbed it, and lit his own cigarette before letting him light his.

Let's declare who the master is here!

The deputy chief of staff smiled, lit a cigarette, and finally took off his sunglasses, saying, "I've always suspected you were using the command post as bait, and I fell for it."

"Hmph, you've been tricked. You almost wiped out my command post," Commander Wang sneered.

"To achieve a complete victory is to destroy your command post, and I failed. Can you tell me, is a complete victory possible on a real battlefield?"

"No!" Commander Wang said.

"I should do everything in my power to destroy your supply lines, so that your front-line troops will have no supplies. That way, my Blue Third Company will not suffer losses of more than 30 men."

The deputy chief of the general staff was clearly resentful that his company had been defeated by the Steel Seventh Company.

"I've preserved those bodies very well; you can take them back with you later."

Commander Wang finally managed to save face a little and asked with great curiosity, "I have a question. I've been looking for your command post, but I haven't been able to find it."

I suspect you are cheating. The command post is not even within the scope of the exercise; you have violated the rules.

"Heh, hehe, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, the deputy chief of staff burst into laughter, laughing until Commander Wang's face turned ugly before saying, "My command post has always been within range, and it's very close to you."

"Where is he?" Commander Wang asked, puzzled.

"Right in front of you," the deputy chief of the general staff said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Could you be more precise? Anyway, the combat exercise is over," Commander Wang continued to ask.

The deputy chief of the general staff did not answer, but instead raised his right index finger above his head and drew circles back and forth, saying, "It's been hovering around here."

"Huh, in the sky? On top of a helicopter?"

Commander Wang laughed. He really hadn't expected this; you simply couldn't find it.

"I'm always in the air above the battlefield, maintaining close contact with all units at all times, so I can give precise orders and strike every point on your battlefield."

The deputy chief of the general staff took a drag of his cigarette, his expression turning serious, and said, "Old buddy, these are the real purposes of this exercise."

"Whoa~"

Commander Wang took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and remained silent.

This battle.

He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly!

The wheels of time keep turning, technology keeps advancing, and the methods of warfare are also affected and are constantly changing.

If an army wants to win battles and defend its territory, it must keep up with the times.

Whoever falls behind will be attacked.

It is clear.

The 702nd Regiment is already outdated, and reform is inevitable.

……

Inside the Steel Seventh Company's camp on Hill 034, everyone in the company was heading down the mountain.

The exercise is over.

We need to return to base camp.

As the exercise ended, Yuan Lang was no longer Jackie Chan's prisoner, but had become a lieutenant colonel, and even Gao Cheng had to treat him with respect.

He could have left, but he didn't.

Instead, he followed Jackie Chan into the armored vehicle of the third squad.

Everyone was quite reserved in the car, and Wu Liuyi stood up straight, afraid of leaving a bad impression on the leader.

Jackie Chan returned to his heavy machine gun turret; since he couldn't see it, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

It was much easier for me than for others.

Bored, Yuan Lang set his sights on Xu Sanduo again, asking him all sorts of strange and unusual questions, and Xu Sanduo's answers were equally unusual.

Yuan Lang was speechless at Xu Sanduo's naivety and gave him a nickname—

Stubborn!

"Jackie Chan!"

The armored vehicle returned to the base camp and stopped. Yuan Lang, who had gotten out of the vehicle first, was stopped by Jackie Chan, who had been watching closely. Jackie Chan was about to slip away after getting out of the vehicle.

When Jackie Chan ran over looking speechless, Yuan Lang chuckled and teased, "What's wrong? Trying to run away? Don't you want to see me?"

"Sir, it's not a matter of whether I want to see you or not, but the exercise is over, and I'm very busy with a lot of things to do. I don't have much time to chat with you."

Jackie Chan knew what Yuan Lang was up to, so he deliberately lied through his teeth and spouted nonsense.

"Alright, since you're so busy, a really busy person, I'll get straight to the point."

Yuan Lang's expression was completely different from before; he said with unprecedented seriousness, "I have an empty seat over there that would be perfect for you. Would you be interested in coming with me?"

"Old A?" Jackie Chan asked.

"You have pretty sharp ears, you can hear that clearly."

Yuan Lang smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's right, the elite A unit that everyone in the entire military region wants to join. Are you interested?"
