Chapter 535 Reconnaissance Battalion Commander: I swear I didn't take it! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

The words fell.

Inside the field tent, there was an instant silence!

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Although Zhao Weihong has been gone from the 116th Division for a long time, the legend he created is still talked about among the various units of the 116th Division and is displayed in the honor rooms of the division and regiment headquarters for every successor to admire!
Special operations exercise: a lone force penetrates deep into enemy territory to eliminate the enemy leader.

On the competition field, they broke records and won two championships!

Before his two years of compulsory military service were over, Zhao Weihong had already entered the gates of military academy, becoming the youngest and most distinguished officer promoted in the 116th Division in nearly twenty years!
Over the years, countless new recruits have regarded Zhao Weihong as their idol and aspired to achieve the same brilliant accomplishments as Zhao Weihong.

After many years, they finally met Zhao Weihong again, and the two sides became the most familiar "enemies".

How could one not sigh with emotion at such a scene? How could one not feel moved?
However, Zhao Weihong clearly had no intention of catching up with them.

The fighting outside was chaotic, and no one knew when the 116th Division's reinforcements would storm into the camp.

Zhao Weihong only answered the questions because they were her "family"; otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered to say anything!

"Wang Fei, take all their bags!"

"Leave everything except the compressed biscuits!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Zhao Weihong's words, Wang Fei and the others' eyes lit up immediately. They realized that Zhao Weihong was planning to "eat and take" the 116th Division's steamed buns in the 116th Division's satchel!

Military satchels are a highly distinctive piece of equipment for the Yan Kingdom's armed forces.

It is easy to carry, convenient to move around, and has a considerable capacity.

Zhao Weihong's satchel contained field supplies such as a raincoat, flashlight, and military first aid kit. Usually, it would also contain two compressed biscuits, but Zhao Weihong, who was starving, had already eaten them.

With enough satchels, Zhao Weihong and her group were not only able to carry away the steamed buns, but also to transport some seasonings such as salt and sugar.

If they could also steal one or two big iron pots, this remnant of their army could practically cook in the wild behind enemy lines!

In a slightly eerie atmosphere.

Wang Fei and his men rushed into the tent like hungry wolves, grabbed the soldiers' satchels, and roughly dumped them on the ground. All sorts of odds and ends were scattered haphazardly all over the place, and there was an unexpected surprise.

"Hmm? White Rabbit candy? Snickers?"

"They even have sausages?"

"This"

As he spoke, Wang Fei looked at Zhao Weihong with a burning gaze, the meaning in his eyes very clear.

Platoon leader, coughing, shall we take him away?
Zhao Weihong: "."

"Take all the food!"

Upon hearing this, some of the soldiers who had been looking at each other in bewilderment inside the tent immediately became anxious and were about to argue when Zhao Weihong glared at them and said in a sharp tone.

Look at the state of you all!

"Have you come here to fight a war? Or for a spring outing?"

"Some people even took their raincoats out of their bags just to carry more snacks. Is this what combat readiness discipline taught you?"

At this moment, Zhao Weihong once again became the embodiment of military discipline in the mortal world. The awe-inspiring righteousness emanating from her body instantly suppressed the group of "family members" in front of her.

"I'll take the things; consider it as if I bought them from you."

"Once the exercise is over, go ask Commander Chang of the 347th Regiment for reimbursement!"

Say it.

Zhao Weihong then heard that the intense fighting in front of the position seemed to be weakening.

Zhao Weihong, of course, understood what this meant, and immediately urged Wang Fei and the others to hurry up!
"Grab your things, let's go!"

"Li Sanqiang and his men can't hold out any longer!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fei and the others, without saying a word, slung their bulging or flat satchels over their shoulders, slipped out of the tent like thieves, and disappeared into the night with Zhao Weihong.

Inside the tent, the "family members" looked at each other, bewildered, clearly still reeling from the recent turn of events.

It's unclear how much time had passed before someone sighed with regret.

"The rumors were right after all."

"My father is a very strict person."

"And what he just said, was it Commander Chang?"

"Hasn't he already been promoted to deputy division commander?"

Before he could finish his musings, the old sergeant, who was a third-term sergeant, couldn't stand it anymore and swung a big punch at him!
"Stop thinking about division commanders and regimental commanders!"

"You got robbed! And you still haven't realized it?"

Meanwhile, Zhao Weihong had already left the artillery position, which they had completely destroyed, with a great deal of spoils.

"Da-da! Da-da-da!"

Five rhythmic gunshots rang out in succession, repeated three times.

This was the retreat signal that Zhao Weihong had prepared in advance.

Although the fighting at the front lines continued, Zhao Weihong didn't know if Li Sanqiang and his group could hear her.

But without instant messaging, they could only rely on this primitive method to transmit information.

In any case, their operation was a great success.

They not only destroyed the enemy's artillery positions, but also obtained much-needed supplies.

After a short rest, Zhao Weihong will be able to continue to devote herself to the great cause of "causing trouble behind enemy lines"!
"Platoon Leader Zhou? How's the harvest on your side? How many reinforcements did you take out?"

Zhao Weihong had only asked casually to roughly tally the results.

Unexpectedly, Platoon Leader Zhou reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, jumping up and down in anger, and complaining to Zhao Weihong with a resentful expression.

"There was no gain at all!"

"If Wang Fei hadn't sent someone to inform us and help us move the supplies, my team probably wouldn't have been able to help at all!"

"I guarded the road near the position for half a day. The enemy reinforcements did come, but none of them tried to get close to the position. They all went towards Li Sanqiang's side!"

"I was afraid of causing unforeseen complications, so I didn't order the 60th mortar squad to open fire."

"Old Zhao, your squad leader is really capable; he's managed to draw all the enemy's attention!"

"I'm even thinking of taking her away from you!"

Listening to Platoon Leader Zhou's words, which were half envious and half complaining.

Zhao Weihong kept running forward, carrying two boxes of canned goods. Just as she was about to say a few words of modesty, Li Sanqiang suddenly appeared in front of her, stepping on the first glimmer of light on the horizon.

"Haha! Platoon leader! We're really in for a feast now!"

Upon seeing Li Sanqiang, Zhao Weihong smiled slightly, about to praise him for fighting well.

But the sounds of gunfire that continued to come from afar made Zhao Weihong suddenly stop in her tracks!

"Why are you here?"

Seeing this, Li Sanqiang also stopped and stood there, blinking in confusion. It took him a while to realize that Zhao Weihong was asking him a question.

"If I'm not here, then where should I be?"

"Hasn't the retreat signal already been given?"

Hearing Li Sanqiang's nonsensical answer, Zhao Weihong rolled her eyes in anger, pointed in the direction from which the gunfire was coming, and asked excitedly!

"Did you leave your men behind on the battlefield?" "No."

"Then why are there still sounds of gunfire?"

Li Sanqiang scratched his head, his expression becoming increasingly puzzled.

"I don't know. My squad only had ten people, and they all evacuated."

"I thought the troops over there in the woods were the ones you, Platoon Leader, had volunteered to stay behind to cover the retreat, so I immediately withdrew after hearing the signal."

Seeing the shocked expressions on Zhao Weihong and Platoon Leader Zhou's faces, Li Sanqiang finally realized that something was wrong.

"Platoon leader, weren't the troops in the woods in front of the position sent by you?"

"I was so worried because I thought you guys had been discovered!"

"But the situation in the woods was too complicated, and I didn't dare to go in rashly in the dark. I stayed on the outside to provide support."

"Look at your reaction. The people in the woods aren't ours, are they?"

Zhao Weihong, Platoon Leader Zhou: "."

Faced with this incomprehensible situation, Zhao Weihong was completely baffled and swore.

"This is fucking weird!"

"Could it be that they're fighting amongst themselves?"

"That shouldn't be the case. They're not like us; they have radios!"

"How could such a blunder have happened?"

Zhao Weihong became increasingly puzzled, and finally glanced in the direction from which the sounds of gunfire still emanated before giving the order.

"Never mind! Let's retreat!"

"We've been completely exposed this time. It won't be long before the enemy starts screening us in the rear."

"Tell the soldiers to be alert. We need to move further away this time. The enemy's armored forces are no joke!"

"Yes!"

at the same time.

After his fifth failed attempt to break out, the reconnaissance battalion commander of the 149th Division collapsed heavily to the ground, his mind a complete mess.

who am I?
where am I?
It was supposed to be a stealthy infiltration operation, so why did it develop so strangely?

First, someone inexplicably issued an attack signal, and then a fierce battle, almost face to face, ensued with the enemy sentries!
That wasn't all. The reinforcements from the 116th Division surrounded the forest where they were, three layers deep, making it completely impenetrable!
If it weren't for the darkness, and the fact that the armored forces were worried about potential accidents from entering the forest, the cannons of the armored vehicles and tanks would have been shoved right in their faces!

However, even if these support troops were only deployed on the roads outside the forest, they would be enough to make the reconnaissance battalion commander feel despair.

After realizing that completing the task was no longer possible.

The reconnaissance battalion commander then began to attempt to lead his team to break out of the encirclement.

Otherwise, if their armed reconnaissance battalion were to operate deep behind enemy lines and fail to complete their mission, only to be completely annihilated by the enemy, would he still have any face left?
But the armored units surrounding the dense forest clearly wouldn't just stand by and watch them leave.

When the reconnaissance battalion commander led his team through countless hardships and misjudgments, they finally broke through the encirclement and arrived at the edge of the forest.

What awaited them were the dark muzzles of the Type 96A tanks and Type 04 infantry fighting vehicles.
Before the reconnaissance battalion commander even left the woods, the armored units, having received the news, had already started shelling him!
The rest of the story is basically a repetition of this plot.

The reconnaissance battalion commander repeatedly attempted to break out, but was repeatedly driven back by the enemy's armored forces.

After this failed breakout attempt, the reconnaissance battalion commander finally gave up hope.
They have been surrounded and killed by the 116th Division.

Of course, they weren't completely without a way to survive.

For example, they could learn from Zhao Weihong, who could pass through the enemy's artillery positions and then attempt a breakout from behind them.

But Zhao Weihong's success does not mean that they can succeed as well.

Firstly, it's because the two sides had different purposes when they retreated.

Zhao Weihong had no intention of returning to her own position, while the reconnaissance battalion commander was single-mindedly focused on returning to the rear and to Guan Jiwu's side. How could he possibly have thought of this desperate, life-or-death plan?
This is the difference in their command thinking, and also the biggest gap between the reconnaissance battalion commander and Zhao Weihong.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do?"

"."

After a moment of silence, the reconnaissance battalion commander stood up and let out a roar that sounded like a wild beast through his teeth!
"If we can't evacuate, then we're not leaving!"

"I'll fight them to the death!"

"The more people we take out, the less pressure our division will face in this exercise!"

"Brothers! Follow me!"

Having completely abandoned the idea of ​​retreat, the reconnaissance battalion caused considerable trouble for the 116th Division in the familiar mountainous environment.

However, due to the limited area of ​​this mountain forest, and with the sky gradually brightening, the reconnaissance battalion's advantages were slowly eroding, and the area they could operate in was shrinking little by little.

Finally, after more than an hour.

The reconnaissance battalion commander looked at the white smoke rising from his body and slowly put down the Type 81 rifle that was already locked in his hand.

And their entire team of over three hundred men, just like him, were "killed in action!"

"call"

Inhaling the fresh morning air in the forest.

The reconnaissance battalion commander took off his sensory suit, looked at the several officers of the 116th Division who were striding towards him, and slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket.

At this point, there's not much to say; it's simply a matter of skill level.

As for who sent that signal, we can figure that out after the exercise is over.

Now, this exercise has nothing to do with the reconnaissance battalion commander and his troops.

I heard the food in the 116th Division is pretty good?

This is a perfect opportunity to freeload a couple of meals.
Before the reconnaissance battalion commander could even ask for a free meal,

A major and a lieutenant colonel walking towards him angrily slapped the cigarette out of his mouth!
"I have to say, you guys are absolutely shameless!"

"If you're going to fight, then fight! Why are you taking our supplies?"

"The cooks didn't leave us a single steamed bun from last night, and they even took the cooks' big pot!"

"What are you trying to do? Have you run out of food or something?"

"They even stole snacks from the people who dropped out of the exercise!"

"Hurry up! Where did you hide the supplies? Bring them out! And return all the snacks you stole!"

Reconnaissance Battalion Commander: "."

Seeing the two officers looking aggressive, the reconnaissance battalion commander didn't even have time to argue with them knocking out his cigarette, and instead expressed his confusion and innocence.

"What kind of steamed bun? What kind of snack?"

I don't know.

Stop pretending to be stupid!

"The soldiers who were robbed all said that it was your men who took it!"

"What are you still pretending for?"

Reconnaissance Battalion Commander: "???"

"I swear I didn't take it!"
