Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 92 Yuan Lang is frantically searching for someone (Please subscribe)

The last time Commander Wang met with Captain Tie Lu of Battalion A was when the 702nd Regiment lost to the Blue Army, so Commander Wang was very unhappy with Tie Lu and didn't like him.

This time, Commander Wang also disliked the railway and didn't give him a friendly look.

He even deliberately left the railway aside, not calling the communications officer to pour tea, but just taking a pack of cigarettes, casually tossing it on the table, and letting the railway smoke it by itself.

Commander Wang pretended to be very busy and took out a large stack of documents to read by himself.

We're all from the same army group, we see each other all the time.

Moreover, the two were old acquaintances.

As the captain of the A Brigade, and also a cadre at the regimental commander level, Railway had traveled "a long way" to the 702nd Regiment to visit his old comrade. Under normal circumstances, Regiment Commander Wang would definitely treat him well.

This is basic etiquette.

It is also a basic respect between colleagues.

The reason why Commander Wang was so resistant was precisely because of his identity as a railway worker.

If it were any other unit, even a lieutenant or clerk, Commander Wang would sit down and have a good chat with them to find out why they came.

But Commander Wang had already heard rumors and knew that the captain of the Old A team was coming to poach people from 702.

When others covet your precious possessions and even hold a royal sword for protection, and you have to cooperate and let them choose, it's no wonder you, as the owner, can't have a good attitude.

Moreover, Commander Wang was constantly worried that Jackie Chan would be discovered and poached by the Old A.

Naturally, they disliked it even more.

Captain Tie Lu of the Old A Company knew that the guy who came to another company to ask for people must be unhappy, so he didn't take it to heart.

He chuckled and said, "Hey Lao Wang, looking at you all business, are you trying to figure me out and set a trap for me?"

"I don't believe you've been looking at this little bit of information for over ten minutes and still haven't finished."

The charade was exposed by the other side, and Commander Wang could no longer continue his act. He had no choice but to put the documents on the table and face the matter head-on.

"I have received the order from the division headquarters, but I am prepared to negotiate with you."

Hearing Commander Wang's stingy attitude, Battalion Commander Tie Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "On the way here, I was already thinking that you would definitely do this. Otherwise, you wouldn't be Old Wang."

"Never mind what happens to me."

Commander Wang didn't mince words and said forcefully, "Let me make this clear from the start: I definitely won't give you any of these soldiers."

Giving a heads-up at the beginning gives you more control over what you say later.

Captain Tie Lu put away his smile and placed a document on the table.

He said seriously, "To be honest with you, I don't want the other soldiers either. The ones you refused to give me, that's the ones I came for."

Upon hearing this, Commander Wang became agitated, slammed his fist on the table, and said in a pretentious manner, "Don't try to intimidate me with orders from above. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid."

"Hahaha."

Battalion Commander Tie Lu was amused again. He leaned over and rested his head on the table, saying, "Old buddy, don't be angry. In my eyes, these treasures you've been hiding are probably not even up to par."

"Yes, yes, yes."

When his soldiers were so belittled by the other side, Commander Wang was not angry at all. Instead, he quickly chimed in, "You're absolutely right. Our armored troops are not the same as yours, so it's definitely not suitable. Don't you think so?"

"Or, why don't you try looking in other regiments? I can recommend one: the divisional reconnaissance battalion is pretty good; they're sure to have suitable candidates."

Commander Wang's move to strike while the iron is hot is truly masterful.

"Hey, Lao Wang, don't try to take advantage of me. A good soldier is a good soldier, and a bad soldier is a bad soldier. It doesn't discriminate based on the branch of service."

After hurriedly correcting the mistake, the captain, Tie Lu, changed his expression and said in a friendly tone, "Old buddy, let's cooperate a bit. Just treat it as a formality. I don't necessarily need your man."

Next week, at your regiment's training ground, I hope to see these people on the list. I might not even want to see them, and I won't come myself. I'll just send someone to give them a few short tests. How does that sound?

No wonder they specialize in special forces; they're really good at this kind of open and covert strategy.

This tactic of retreating to advance is absolutely brilliant.

Commander Wang fell into the trap as expected.

Seeing that the battalion commander, Tie Lu, showed little interest, it seemed he really looked down on the soldiers of their 702nd Regiment.

With the military region's order already in place, if Captain A of the railway company were to break off relations and insist on his way, he would ultimately have no choice but to give in.

If you dare disobey the military region's orders, you'll be in big trouble.

Commander Wang had no choice but to make a very "passive" decision. He believed that Captain A of the railway was too picky about selecting people and wouldn't care about the few dates in his hands, and was just there to go through the motions.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll let you see them then."

"Ah, that's more like it."

The captain's little trick worked, and he smiled as he went to get the cigarettes from the table.

The important matters have been settled, let's have a smoke and enjoy it.

Before he could even touch Hua Zi, Commander Wang snatched it back.

With an expression that seemed to say, "You still want to smoke Hua Zi? Go smoke your ass," he stuffed it back into his pocket right in front of Tie Lu, leaving Tie Lu shaking his head and laughing at the same time.

……

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

9 o'clock in the morning.

On the regimental training ground.

The more than one hundred soldiers on the division's list all came from various companies of the 702nd Regiment and assembled at the regimental headquarters' exercise field.

This includes Wu Liuyi, Xu Sanduo, Ma Xiaoshuai, and Bai Tiejun from the Steel Seventh Company.

Shi Jin was not on the list.

Expected.

Shi Jin is about to be promoted to fourth-level sergeant. At over 30 years old, it's not just a matter of being too old, but that he is completely unsuitable to go to the A-team.

Cheng Cai also appeared on the training field, looking ambitious and full of energy.

Everyone has arrived.

The only thing missing is Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan, who has won nearly 20 honors in a year and a half, is undoubtedly the most outstanding member of the 702nd Regiment and even the entire infantry division.

Moreover, Yuan Lang was caught during an exercise, and the company commander has already set his sights on him.

Old A came all the way to the grassroots troops to select people, so it's impossible that Jackie Chan wasn't on the test list.

The reason Jackie Chan didn't appear at the training ground wasn't because he was throwing a tantrum, but because someone deliberately caused trouble.

The only person capable of causing this trouble is Commander Wang.

It turns out.

No seasoned veteran is easily fooled.

On the surface, Commander Wang appeared to have fallen for the railway's trap, but in reality, he was playing a word game, only agreeing to cooperate and let him see everyone.

I just saw it.

That means they might not participate in the test.

Commander Wang, who secretly pulled this stunt, did indeed notify Jackie Chan as required by the document, but the notification was not made a week ago.

It was around 8 a.m. today.

Furthermore, they haven't even sent a car to pick up Jackie Chan, leaving him to figure out how to get there himself.

Commander Wang also gave special instructions and advice to Jackie Chan.

The journey from the training ground is long, so Jackie Chan must not be too anxious and must not have any accidents on the way. It would be good to avoid the hot sun.

As long as he can get there before 6 p.m. today, it's fine. If he can't make it, it's not his fault.

The 5th Platoon of the Grassland is more than 100 kilometers away from the regimental headquarters, and there is no vehicle to pick them up.

Even though Jackie Chan received the news at around 8 o'clock, he immediately set off for the regiment headquarters without stopping for a second, even running and taking a ride with a fellow villager on the way.

Ridesharing usually involves using oxcarts, horse-drawn carts, or tractors.

Even under the best-case scenario, it would take Jackie Chan seven or eight hours to arrive at the regimental headquarters, which would be at least five o'clock in the morning.

Jackie Chan was indeed able to appear at the training ground, but he basically had no time to participate in the tests.

It's like they came, but it's also like they didn't.

However, from Commander Wang's perspective, he did indeed follow orders from his superiors.

I did keep my promise to you; everyone came, didn't they?

There was no disobedience to orders from superiors.

This meticulously planned timing...

It has to be said, Commander Wang is really cunning.

It's just tough on our Jackie Chan. With the two big bosses secretly vying for power, he has to miserably walk over 100 kilometers a day.

On the way, you have to pray that you're lucky enough to meet someone from your hometown and get a ride.

otherwise.

Let alone 5 pm, we can't even make it by 8 pm.

Battalion Commander Railway probably never dreamed that Commander Wang, who had seen all kinds of storms, would go to such great lengths to protect a mere soldier.

It was precisely because the matter was so unbelievable that Battalion Commander Tie Lu fell for Commander Wang's trap.

This caused Yuan Lang, one of his subordinates, to also feel depressed that day.

Yuan Lang arrived early in the morning with his team, specifically to have a chat with Jackie Chan.

The idea of ​​recruiting Jackie Chan into Old A has never left my mind.

As a result, he looked around the training ground from the observation tower next to the training ground several times, but he still couldn't see that familiar big guy.

I waited from 8 a.m. until noon, for several hours, but I still didn't see a single person.

Yuan Lang couldn't hold back any longer!

He suspected that Commander Wang was deliberately hiding troops, but he couldn't find any evidence. He could only furrow his brows and quickly leave the observation tower.

Yuan Lang wanted to go find it himself.

As the captain of the prestigious Old A Special Forces, finding people is one of his strengths.

Yuan Lang wasn't the only one looking for Jackie Chan on the training field.

Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi, and the other people from the training team, including Gao Cheng who led the team, were all curious about where Jackie Chan was. How could Jackie Chan be left out of this kind of occasion?

However, like Yuan Lang, they all waited in vain.

Jackie Chan has not appeared!

Meanwhile, Jackie Chan, whom everyone was eagerly anticipating, was still running miserably on the desolate grassland.

His skin, tanned bronze from digging in the dirt every day, was covered with beads of sweat of all sizes, which shimmered with a metallic sheen under the golden sunlight.

The masculine scent was incredibly strong.

But running like this isn't a solution.

Even if Jackie Chan runs at a speed exceeding 19 kilometers per hour, reaching the speed of a national-level marathon athlete, it would still take him more than 10 hours to reach the training ground.

Even though they knew that running like this would still be difficult and there was absolutely no way they could make it to the test.

Jackie Chan had no choice but to keep running.

On this desolate and hopeless loess grassland where there are no people for dozens of kilometers at a time, there are no taxis that will stop for you just by reaching out.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan's physical fitness was good enough to support his long-distance run.

After running for 4 hours straight.

Lady Luck finally smiled upon Jackie Chan, the poor man who was running wildly across the grasslands, and he finally encountered a fellow villager's dump tractor.

Even if a tractor only travels at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, it is still much faster than running on foot.

The locals on the Loess Plateau are so warm-hearted. When they learned that Jackie Chan had been running for more than four hours and covered an astonishing 60 kilometers in one go, they were very enthusiastic.

The average speed reached 16 kilometers per hour.

The villagers were stunned, but they were also incredibly impressed with Jackie Chan, the soldier, and kindly escorted him to the training ground.

Jackie Chan was really touched.

When I got off the bus, I specially took out a can of pork and gave it to my fellow villager as a thank you gift.

However, despite meeting enthusiastic fellow villagers, Jackie Chan arrived at the entrance of the training ground at 5:43 p.m.

There were less than 20 minutes left until the deadline set by the team leader.

Jackie Chan jogged straight to the gate of the training ground.

The guard checked Jackie Chan's sergeant's card but did not let him in to take the test. Instead, he gave him a military police armband.

"Comrade Jackie Chan, as instructed by the regimental commander, you need to assist us with temporary patrols. You don't need to go in to participate in the testing; just be responsible for the security and order of the building area, which is the building on the left."

Jackie Chan was stunned when he saw the blue military police armband handed to him by the guard, and thought he had misheard.

After a long and arduous day of driving over 100 kilometers, fearing I might miss the test, I arrived at the test site only to be told I didn't need to participate.

Anyone would have a headache if they were in that situation!

But the guards had made it clear that this was a special arrangement by the commander, and no matter how much Jackie Chan couldn't understand it, he could only helplessly comply.

Wearing the military police armband on his arm, he walked towards the building area on the left, feeling both amused and exasperated.

At this point, there were fewer than 10 people left participating in the tests on the training field, scattered around and participating in different tests.

Some were testing the horizontal bar, some were testing obstacles, and five were shooting targets.

There wasn't a single familiar face.

"It's already so late, the Steel Seventh Company... no, the training team, have probably all gone back. It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't chat with the guys for a bit."

Jackie Chan reluctantly withdrew his gaze and walked resignedly towards the entrance of the residential area.

Knowing he wouldn't be able to get back tonight and would have to find a place to sleep later, Jackie Chan, who hadn't even had time for lunch while traveling, was speechless and wanted to curse.

"Looks like we'll have to go to the guesthouse tonight. Hopefully, the regimental headquarters guesthouse still has rooms available."

Jackie Chan muttered something under his breath, looked up and glanced at the building in front of him, which looked like a room for storing training materials, and then casually walked in.

With such strict management inside the military, it's impossible for a thief to dare to come in and steal anything.

It's even less likely that soldiers from other companies would be so bored as to come to this storage area and do something shady.

So Jackie Chan didn't take it seriously and just wanted to go inside and find a place to sit down and rest for a while.

But after entering the gate and taking only five steps...

Jackie Chan suddenly stopped walking and his gaze swept to the right.
