Chapter 544 Driving Enemy Tanks? Zhao Weihong Wants to Voluntarily Withdraw from the Exercise? [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

Once a word is spoken
The whole hall was shocked!

The chief of staff strode forward, looked directly into Li Sanqiang's eyes, and said in a tense and serious voice!

"They wiped out an entire artillery position?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by this being just a drill!"

"But falsely reporting military achievements will still result in a court-martial!"

The chief of staff was not joking.

The military is actually a very tolerant place.

For minor, non-principle-related mistakes, the person involved can write a few self-criticisms and do some extra practice, and that will be the end of it. As long as they perform well, it won't even affect their chances of being recognized for awards or commendations, let alone their future career.

However, when it comes to matters involving "combat," the military's attitude towards handling such issues is very clear.

Once discovered, they will not be let off lightly!

The lightest punishment is at least three years, with no upper limit!

Some people may feel that such standards are too strict.

But how can a military fight if discipline is not strict?

Zhao Weihong specifically named Li Sanqiang to be in charge of arranging this mission, and at this moment, he finally proved his worth.

If it were anyone else, under such immense pressure from Guan Jiwu and the Chief of Staff, they might not even be able to speak properly.

But Li Sanqiang remained completely calm, his neck stiff and his face full of arrogance as he spoke!

"Chief of Staff! Of course I know what I'm talking about!"

"If I utter even half a lie today, you can take my head, not just to a military court, but you can also kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Jiwu could no longer sit still. He threw off his coat and rushed to the huge map hanging nearby, gesturing to Li Sanqiang.

"Come on, where is the artillery position you took down?"

"Show me!"

As the squad leader of the elite company, Li Sanqiang's map reading and map-using skills were naturally quite good. After examining the map for only a few seconds, he confidently pointed to a location in the lower right of the map and indicated it.

"right here!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Jiwu immediately frowned!

Isn't this the very artillery position he ordered the armed reconnaissance company to destroy?
The chief of staff, on the other hand, seemed relieved.

"Scared me!"

"I thought you really took down an artillery position with just a few dozen guns!"

"You guys are lucky. The division commander discovered this position a long time ago and sent an armed reconnaissance battalion to destroy it on the first night of the exercise."

"They probably finished most of the work, which is why you bunch of remnants managed to pick up the scraps!"

"Hey Li, you've been with our division for quite a while now, haven't you? I even mentored you back in the day!"

"Now that he's a class monitor, why does he still exaggerate so much?"

"Have they finished the work?"

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Li Sanqiang's lips as he confidently asked the chief of staff a question.

"Chief of staff, it's the comrades from the armed reconnaissance battalion. They reported that they destroyed this artillery position?"

"Then I'll trouble you to call him over. I, Li Sanqiang, will stake this uniform on a face-to-face confrontation with him to get to the bottom of this!"

"The victory we achieved, which was fought by more than a hundred brothers who risked their lives, endured wind and rain, and marched dozens of kilometers, must not be stolen so easily!"

Although Li Sanqiang was not present when the artillery positions were raided, he provided support from the perimeter.

But Li Sanqiang did ask Wang Fei about it afterwards.

All the artillery pieces on the artillery positions were destroyed by Wang Fei and his men one by one. There was no such thing as an armed reconnaissance battalion.

Of course, the armed reconnaissance battalion did not make no contribution at all.

In the aftermath, Zhao Weihong and Li Sanqiang were still puzzled as to which friendly forces had attracted the enemy's attention in front of the position.
After hearing what the chief of staff said, it all made perfect sense!

But the armed reconnaissance battalion's contribution was limited to "attracting attention."

After all, without Zhao Weihong and his group's infiltration from the rear, the armed reconnaissance battalion would never have been able to sneak into the enemy's position under such tight guard and ultimately complete their mission!
Don't forget, Zhao Weihong wiped out most of the defensive forces on the position at the very beginning of the operation, which is why the entire operation went so smoothly.

However, the armed reconnaissance battalion that infiltrates from the front does not have such conditions. Even if they manage to get into the position, they will eventually be overwhelmed by the enemy that surges in like a tide!
If we're talking about finding bargains, then it was his armed reconnaissance battalion that found them!
Seeing Li Sanqiang's confident demeanor, the chief of staff immediately began to have doubts.
Find someone to confront?

Do not make jokes!
The 116th Division wiped out the entire armed reconnaissance battalion, so how the hell are any of them coming back?
It was Guan Jiwu and the chief of staff who, in the subsequent battle, discovered that the enemy's artillery firepower had been greatly reduced, and thus assumed that the armed reconnaissance battalion had completed its mission at the cost of "total casualties"!

In reality, the armed reconnaissance battalion, which they had high hopes for and were expected to commend after the exercise, didn't even see a single cannon from beginning to end!

"And another thing, Chief of Staff, we're not some remnants of the army!"

"Aside from lacking heavy firepower, when we retreated, the platoon leader made us take everything with us, including light machine guns, 60mm mortars, and Type 89 rocket launchers!"

"We've already conducted two large-scale missions, and out of our hundred-plus men, not a single one has been killed!"

"We also seized a lot of supplies, so we have plenty to eat and drink. We even had pork stew with cabbage yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff no longer wanted to consider whether Li Sanqiang's words were true, but instead became concerned about another issue that he cared about very much.

"Pork stew with cabbage?"

"Was it also captured from the enemy?"

Seeing Li Sanqiang shake his head, the chief of staff immediately asked in alarm.

"Then where did you get the pot? You couldn't have brought it with you when you retreated, could you?"

"That's not it at all."

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Sanqiang's earth-shattering words!

"This time it was captured from the enemy!"

"After taking out the enemy's artillery position, we also raided their mess hall!"

"I don't know who it was, but they even carried the pot! That's how we got to eat a stew!"

Guan Jiwu, Chief of Staff: "."

Li Sanqiang's last words were rather abstract. Guan Jiwu and the chief of staff were at a loss for words.
But this also aligns with Guan Jiwu's impression of Zhao Weihong's style of doing things.

It features both grand, imaginative projects and hilariously underhanded tricks!
Um! That's right!

That's something his cheap junior brother could do!

"call"

He let out a long sigh of relief.

After the 116th Division launched its attack without warning, Guan Jiwu's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed completely.

"Go and call over the armored reconnaissance battalion."

"Teacher?"

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff immediately looked at Guan Jiwu, his face full of disbelief!
The only response he received was Guan Jiwu's unquestionable voice!
"Excuting an order!"

".yes!"

After giving Li Sanqiang a complicated look, the chief of staff quickly walked out of the command post.

"While they're gathering, tell me properly how your team came together."

"How did you make the decision to fight behind enemy lines? Who was in charge? Tell me slowly, don't miss a single detail!" It was obvious.

Compared to artillery positions or armored reconnaissance battalions, this is a different matter.

What Guan Jiwu cared about more was the small team led by Zhao Weihong that had repeatedly made outstanding contributions!

Li Sanqiang, of course, did not hold back. He immediately began to recount from his perspective, starting with his orders to cover the rear, and continuing until after the destruction of the station, when he returned to "bargain" with Guan Jiwu as instructed by Zhao Weihong.

The "protagonist" in this story is, of course, the actual commander and backbone of their team!

Zhao Weihong!
"Commander, that's the gist of it."

"It seems the platoon leader intends to continue fighting behind enemy lines until the exercise ends!"

"The current supply situation is sufficient to support us in fighting until that time."

"Don't worry! We guarantee we'll make their lives a living hell!"

After listening to Li Sanqiang's animated account, Guan Jiwu suppressed the turmoil surging in his heart and slowly stood up.

"Let's go."

"The men your platoon leader wanted have arrived."

Stepping out of the tent, one sees all the officers and soldiers of the division's armored reconnaissance battalion standing meticulously a hundred meters away from the command post, their expressions filled with doubt.

Obviously.

They themselves didn't know why their special forces, which were supposed to play a role only at the very end of the exercise, were called to the command post at this critical juncture.

"I can give you people."

"But we can't give it all."

"Half a battalion, at most half a battalion. I can let you take back all of my most elite veteran sergeants, along with their battalion commanders!"

"But you also have to help me by passing on a message to your platoon leader."

"As the commander-in-chief of this exercise, I absolutely cannot put all my eggs in Zhao Weihong's basket!"

Seeing Guan Jiwu's serious expression, Li Sanqiang dared not say that Zhao Weihong's initial plan was actually to have a company...
The reason Zhao Weihong allowed Li Sanqiang to ask for an exorbitant price was to facilitate later bargaining.
Unexpectedly, after hearing about their team's achievements, Guan Jiwu readily skipped the haggling and even gave them extra money.

"Why don't you speak?"

"What? You think it's not enough? You'll have trouble explaining it to your platoon leader when you get back?"

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sanqiang immediately snapped out of his daze and shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum!
"Commander, don't worry, I will definitely deliver your message!"

Nodding expressionlessly, Guan Jiwu gazed into the distance for a few moments before suddenly frowning and asking Li Sanqiang a question.

"With so many people, how are you two planning to take them back?"

Is there a charter?

Although an armored battalion doesn't have as many men as an infantry battalion, half a battalion still adds up to nearly a hundred men.

It's not surprising that Li Sanqiang and his companion could move freely back and forth on the front lines.

But with so many people suddenly appearing, if we don't have a careful plan, we'll just be throwing our lives away!

But given Zhao Weihong's style, how could she not have thought of this?
"Commander, the platoon leader has already explained this matter!"

"At the location we've reached, there's a small team left behind. They'll be responsible for bringing comrades who have crossed the front line back to the temporary camp."

"We'll break up into smaller groups, with only two or three people going at a time, and we'll start the operation after dark!"

"With patience, we'll be able to get everyone over there eventually!"

The words fell.

After a moment of silence, Guan Jiwu suddenly spoke in a strange tone.

"Your platoon leader is quite thoughtful."

"Alright, since you've planned this so meticulously, I won't interfere any further."

"Hurry up and go pick people. Go early and come back early, don't keep your platoon leader waiting."

"Yes!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Welcome to all the new comrades!"

Inside the temporary camp where Zhao Weihong and her group were located.

Zhao Weihong personally led Platoon Leader Zhou, Wang Fei, and others to welcome this group of "reinforcements" who had come from afar.

"Battalion Commander Wang, look, are all your men here?"

Upon hearing this, Battalion Commander Wang of the armored reconnaissance battalion quickly counted the number of people and then nodded to Zhao Weihong with a complicated expression.

Everyone's here.

"Platoon Leader Zhao, you said you'd tell me why you brought us all here once everyone arrived."

"Now that everyone's here, can you finally reveal the secret?"

"Battalion Commander Wang! I was just about to bring this up!"

Zhao Weihong seemed to be in a good mood, with a genuine smile on her face.

"Sanqiang, go get some snacks, canned goods or something, to treat the new comrade!"

"Yes!"

After Li Sanqiang excitedly accepted the order and left, Zhao Weihong then signaled Platoon Leader Zhou, Battalion Commander Wang, and others to sit down for a brief meeting.

"The situation is urgent, so let's skip the unnecessary pleasantries and get straight to the point."

"Battalion Commander Wang, I guess you must have had a premonition too."

"I called you all over the place, of course, so you could drive tanks!"

"And it's an enemy tank!"

Upon hearing this, not only Battalion Commander Wang, but even Platoon Leader Zhou and Wang Fei showed expressions of disbelief!

Driving a tank?

The enemy's?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Zhao Weihong seemed to have anticipated their reaction, and immediately waved her hand with a smile, signaling them to calm down.

"Don't get excited or doubtful. This is indeed our next operational objective."

"When the exercise reaches its final, crucial moment, our team will drive the enemy's tanks and deliver a fatal blow from the rear!"

"As for how to achieve this goal, we can study it slowly."

"In short, let's first confirm this goal so that we have a direction to work towards and a chance to achieve it!"

"You all should agree with this view, right?"

Upon hearing this, Battalion Commander Wang suppressed the urge to berate Zhao Weihong and nodded very reluctantly.

Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang reluctantly agreed to the plan, Platoon Leader Chen and Wang Fei naturally wouldn't object and nodded in agreement as well.

"Alright, now that everyone agrees, let me explain some specific strategies for the next step."

"From now on, except for the men brought by Battalion Commander Wang."

"Our team must gradually withdraw from this exercise in a way that allows the enemy to detect and confirm it."

"When the time is right, I myself will withdraw from this exercise by sacrificing my life!"
