A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 164 Yuan Lang's Falling Out

Wu Liuyi and others ran for half an hour before they escaped from the pursuit behind them.

Everyone jumped into the sand pit, gasping for breath.

Although it was January, the sun in the provincial capital was still scorching hot, and the long-distance run helped everyone dispel the chill.

"Where is Ma Xiaoshuai?" Wu Liuyi suddenly turned his head and asked in horror.

Gan Xiaoning gasped, "He went to the northeast and got separated!"

"Didn't we ask him to follow us?" Wu Liuyi said angrily.

Gan Xiaoning replied, "This is my first time seeing such a large-scale scene. I was frightened. Deputy Squad Leader, please don't worry too much. With this pursuit method, we're all going to be dead. It's so damn scary. As soon as they got out of the car, they opened fire on us with submachine guns. We were comrades. It was too cruel."

Bai Tiejun closed his eyes and leisurely enjoyed the sunshine, "It's just right, the sunflowers are blooming."

"Where are the flowers? Are you hungry and stupid?" Gan Xiaoning slapped his face.

"Flowers... in my heart, ah... what beautiful flowers." Bai Tiejun stretched out his hands in fascination, "I just ate a full meal and I'm not hungry anymore. You don't understand, this is enjoyment!"

Wu Liuyi looked around and found that apart from him, Gan Xiaoning and Bai Tiejun, there were only four strangers left.

This group of people were driven by submachine guns and had to run with them.

"It seems that what Xu Sanduo said is right. Something is indeed wrong. Where is Chengcai? Did he run away too?" Wu Liuyi only then sighed at his great sixth sense.

"Yes, this is all my fault. I actually doubted my beloved squad leader. Oh, this damn distrust." Bai Tiejun pounded the ground in frustration.

If I had followed Feng Yuxiu, I might have run two miles by now.

Why are you hunkering down in this shabby place, trying to avoid being chased?

"Let's go, let me see, which direction... which direction?" Wu Liuyi's face turned extremely grim. They had been chased and had lost their way. The old-fashioned compass only gave a general direction. If the angle chosen was slightly off, the destination would be five or six miles off.

"Everyone come here, let's discuss which way to go." Wu Liuyi gathered the group together.

"I don't care. Anywhere is fine. It all depends on you, squad leader. I'll follow you wherever you go." Bai Tiejun's future had already been decided the moment he tore open the dry food. Old A's physical examination was so terrifying that only the absolutely strong could enter. Even if they entered, they would be eliminated.

If the 7th Steel Company is an artificial millstone, then Lao A is an overclocked machine equipped with a diesel engine.

Sometimes choice is more important than hard work. Bai Tiejun glanced at Gan Xiaoning.

Gan Xiaoning stretched and said, "I agree. We'll go wherever you say, class vice-chairman."

"Where are you four?" Wu Liuyi looked at the others.

The four of them stared at each other for a long moment. "There's nothing we can do. We only have so few of us, and there's a whole reconnaissance battalion surrounding us. If we separate, we'll definitely die. We have no choice but to stick together."

Surprisingly, everyone reached a consensus.

Wu Liuyi carefully stuck his head out and looked around. "Let's go. The people from the reconnaissance camp just now were heading southeast. This means they are encircling that area. Let's follow them!"

"Run! Run with your backs bent. Don't run along the main roads. Run through the ravines and under the grass. Pay attention to the sight lines in all directions."

The seven of them crouched down and began to run wildly.

-

-

Gao Cheng was driving alone on the prairie, and his face turned ugly.

His reconnaissance battalion was responsible for the soldiers of the 702nd Regiment.

Not only his reconnaissance battalion, but the entire 702nd Regiment also participated in the encirclement and suppression.

So many troops surrounded and suppressed a hundred or so soldiers.

No, there are almost sixty people now.

This is pure bullying.

There were also special forces from the Old A Battalion patrolling around.

This is a test that is completely impossible to pass.

And the prerequisite is that they did not eat breakfast, only one meal. Fortunately, it was daytime and the temperature had risen slightly.

Once night falls, the temperature on the grassland will drop directly to minus seven or eight degrees Celsius.

In such low temperatures, these soldiers had no way to replenish their calories, and they were also being chased by infantry fighting vehicles, which consumed their energy and calories.

Tonight, most of the soldiers would be forced to eat their only food due to these consumptions.

As long as they finish eating tonight, they will not have any food to replenish for the next two days and two nights.

This is the weather in February, there is no tender grass.

It is destined that no one can survive this test.

"Not necessarily." Feng Yuxiu's figure flashed through Gao Cheng's mind.

In such a desperate situation, will this soldier be able to break through the human body's conditions and persevere?
"Alas... I don't know how many soldiers of the Seventh Company are left. It was a wise move for me to not have Shi Jin join."

Gao Cheng felt inexplicably irritated. These soldiers were the best in every company, but they were treated like sheep by Old A.

Although he knew that the selection process for the special forces was demanding, it was not a hopeless one.

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng slammed on the brakes, and the off-road vehicle swept over with a cloud of grassland dust.

The wind on the grassland was howling, and the temperature became a bit chilly.

Gao Cheng tilted his head as much as possible to look into the distance.

But the grass in the distance looked particularly obvious from the car, so it should not be the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company.

Under his training, the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company are now very good at hiding in the mountains and jungles.

Not to mention the entire 702nd Regiment, even the entire division headquarters has the instinct to be at the forefront.

The reconnaissance company is trained to do this, and this is one of the reasons why the 7th Steel Company is the best.

But the clump of grass in the distance was too obvious.

It was not easy for the people in the 702nd Regiment to survive.

Gao Cheng got out of the car and walked over with a stern face. He bent down and grabbed a handful of dry grass to cover himself.

"Keep your body low and your head in the dirt. Don't move. When I leave, head southwest. The search there is over."

After settling in, Gao Cheng clapped his hands and turned to walk towards his car.

The soldier, who was camouflaged very well with grass leaves, stood up from the grass.

It turned out to be Ma Xiaoshuai.

"Company commander, you said that the first point of camouflage and concealment is that we must never be exposed until we are discovered by the enemy!" Ma Xiaoshuai smiled. He was very happy to see his former company commander.

"I'm the deputy commander of the armored reconnaissance battalion!" Gao Cheng corrected. He had already let them off, so he couldn't let the soldiers of the Seventh Company suffer because of this.

"The soldiers of the Seventh Company all call you Company Commander!" Ma Xiaoshuai grinned with his big white teeth.

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the face that was covered by camouflage and asked tentatively, "Ma Xiaoshuai?"

Ma Xiaoshuai laughed: "I thought the company commander wouldn't remember me."

"I'll remember every one of you. You're the 5,000th soldier of the 7th Steel Company... and the last one." Gao Cheng hesitated, looked around, and said, "Follow my orders and remain hidden."

Ma Xiaoshuai subconsciously lay down in the grass again.

Gao Cheng walked towards his car as if nothing had happened. Just as he reached the car, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly called out from behind: "Company Commander? ...Company Commander! Why don't you take me away?"

Gao Cheng ignored him and waved his hands irritably! But Ma Xiaoshuai had already stood up and said, "You've already noticed me!"

Gao Cheng was a little angry and shouted, "That was just a coincidence. A blind cat caught a dead mouse. Do you understand?"

Ma Xiaoshuai craned his neck and said, "This is against the rules, Company Commander!"

"What rules are there? The entire armored reconnaissance battalion and the entire squadron of Old A are sweeping away a small group of fleeing soldiers like you. There are no rules." Gao Cheng sighed and said, "It's not easy for the soldiers of the old Seventh Company to survive. Don't let a coincidence ruin your chance."

After saying that, he got in the car.

Ma Xiaoshuai called out "Company Commander" again from behind, but Gao Cheng had already started the car and drove away.

"Company Commander?! People from the Seventh Company don't do this kind of thing! Don't think that I haven't grown the bones of the Seventh Company just because I've been here for a few days!" Ma Xiaoshuai said as he took off his helmet and fiddled with the laser beacon a few times. A puff of smoke came out from it.

Gao Cheng suddenly braked the car.

He looked in the rearview mirror at the standing soldier, the soldier covered in smoke.

This way he no longer has any reason to let go.

When did the soldiers of the Seventh Company, who had only been here a short time, become so arrogant?

In a trance, Gao Cheng seemed to be standing on the training ground of the 7th Steel Company again, looking at those bastards who were training desperately.

Unfortunately, the cold wind blew and he felt the coldness of the grassland again.

Gao Cheng stepped on the accelerator and reversed the car, looking at Ma Xiaoshuai, whose face was covered with oil paint.

Ma Xiaoshuai felt a little at a loss. He didn't know what to say. Perhaps he felt the concern of the former company commander of the 7th Steel Company.

So, she wiped away her tears and started crying.

"Company commander, I am a soldier from the 7th Steel Company!" Ma Xiaoshuai corrected.

Gao Cheng got out of the car, his face somewhat moved. He wiped the tears from Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes and patted his shoulder. "Get in the car. I will still be your company commander from now on. Follow me back to the reconnaissance battalion."

"Yes!" Ma Xiaoshuai cried with joy, "Company Commander, I'll go to your reconnaissance battalion!"

If Chengcai saw this extremely harmonious scene, would he remember the betrayal after the dinner again?

If he was as determined as Ma Xiaoshuai, he might have a bright future in the reconnaissance camp.

Ma Xiaoshuai is indeed a top student in this regard, as he can analyze the trace of care in Gao Cheng's heart.

As a soldier of the 7th Steel Company, as long as he begs for mercy under the pretext of the 7th Steel Company, the company commander will definitely lend a hand.

Ma Xiaoshuai can seize opportunities better than anyone else.

Rumble!
The car drove to the far end of the plains.

"Company commander, Squad Leader Xu ran away." Ma Xiaoshuai said.

Gao Cheng hummed.

Ma Xiaoshuai also lowered his head.

"Attention, all units! Attention, all units! A fat sheep has looted the rations from the fallen soldiers and may be heading southeast. Please intercept them!"

A hoarse voice came over the SUV's radio.

Gao Cheng suddenly looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, "You said Xu Sanduo took away everyone's dry food?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was stunned. "Then I don't know. By the time I realized what was happening, I had already lost my way because of the people from your reconnaissance battalion."

"Of course!" Gao Cheng inexplicably revealed a very happy smile, "Xu Sanduo can do this kind of thing, now I have confidence. He will definitely be one of the three places!"

One third of the war rations were looted by Feng Yuxiu alone.

The target was three days' journey away. The most difficult part of this mission wasn't the pursuit and interception. After all, the grassland was vast, and if so many people were to stay in any place, there wouldn't be much left once they dispersed.

It is definitely impossible to find the person hiding.

Hunger! Water! Cold!

This is the biggest difficulty of this assessment, especially when the soldiers participating in the assessment only have one meal.

At this time, whoever can replenish their physical strength at all times will be able to make it to the end.

"It's quite interesting. Only now do I see some hope."

"Company commander, there seems to be someone over there, running over there." Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.

Gao Cheng turned a deaf ear and said, "Who's there? Look ahead. Don't look left and right when you're sitting."

This obvious letting of the game left Ma Xiaoshuai stunned.

"Company commander, will there be any problem if you let them off like this?" Ma Xiaoshuai said worriedly, lowering his head.

Gao Cheng sneered, "I'm not Old A's, what's it to me? I'm lucky enough to be able to go out for a stroll, and you want me to take the assessment for them? Ma Xiaoshuai, you're talking too much."

"I understand, Captain! I'll shut up right now!"

-

-

In a camp somewhere on the grassland.

Yuan Lang was measuring the distance marked on the map at the base. Seeing Qi Huan get out of the car, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Aren't you with Deputy Battalion Commander Gao? Why are you back?"

Qi Huan smiled helplessly and said, "He was dumped. That guy is very arrogant and can't stand me looking at him."

"Then we can set up an ambush at position H7, which is the only way to reach our destination." Yuan Lang was also happy.

As Qi Huan left, two staff members from the group walked in and smiled kindly at Yuan Lang, "Are you the person in charge of this competition?"

Yuan Lang glanced at the two officers and smiled. "What's the point of this? It's just a small group trying to get out of a difficult situation. I'm the battlefield commander, the one who created the difficulties for them. What do you want?"

"My last name is Wang. I'm a reporter for the 353rd Regimental Newspaper and a special correspondent for the military newspaper. This is my assistant, Xiao Ma, and I'd like to talk to you about this competition."

The two officials lowered their attitude to the lowest level. They had finally gotten in under some pretext.

In other words, in this seemingly mysterious game, they are the first two to encounter the truth.

Yuan Lang scoffed and waved his hand. "I told you there's no competition. Well, let's call it a physical examination. Those who come here are the best of the infantry. Judging them based on statistics is underestimating them. Physical strength, intelligence, willpower, experience, just looking at one aspect is a partial generalization. Truly outstanding soldiers will find that balance, and we are also looking for that balance."

"Well, your words reveal your thoughts. What are the concepts, meanings, and high technologies that have led you to create this victorious army?"

As expected of an executive, he keenly sensed the core point of the topic.

Yuan Lang smiled: "Victory? That's nonsense. The battles that have not yet been fought are all unknowns, and it is not the soldiers who talk about victory in the unknown. Our soldiers are very cute and persevering. Our current efforts are to be able to win during the war. Let them sacrifice less.”

The two secretaries looked at each other in confusion, and neither of them could remember anything.

Yuan Lang seemed to have said a lot of things, but when you think about it carefully, it was all nonsense and empty talk, and there was no substantive news at all.

Suddenly, there was a commotion and the sound of cars outside. Yuan Lang stood up with a smile and said, "The prisoners are back, and I have to go and get scolded. You guys can do whatever you want."

"What are you doing? I'm talking about you. Be nice to them. They are all soldiers. If you go back and tell their company commander about it, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Several carts of soldiers were sent here, and everyone had an expression of unwillingness on their faces.

Most of them were shot dead as soon as they got out of the car.

Some were simply shot and killed by those who were chasing them.

This group of old A's just like to play. They drive cars and chase the two legs running around. They won't kill them for a while and just want to play.

Yuan Lang also noticed the anger on their faces and smiled, "Think positively. You don't have to suffer any more. Unlike those who are still holding on, they will have to hide like rats for the next few days. What will happen in the end?"

"Eliminated!" Yuan Lang emphasized the word "eliminated." "What does 'eliminated' mean? It means you go back to where you came from. You see them being eliminated, but it's all the same result. It doesn't matter if they're eliminated earlier or persist later. It doesn't make any sense. If they persist for three days and are ultimately eliminated, would I praise them for their patience?"

"No! That's meaningless and stupid! Only if I succeed will I open the door and let them get in!"

After Yuan Lang's words, the expressions of these already frantic soldiers improved a little.

Yuan Lang shouted with a smile, "Give some food to the defeated soldiers. You're still hungry, right? Don't worry, I have some delicious food here. Tomorrow at noon... tomorrow at noon, I'll roast a whole lamb. You rarely eat it, right? I'm half Xinjiang, so I'm very good at roasting a whole lamb. I'll treat you all then!"

After a few words, the resentment disappeared.

Yuan Lang nodded and looked outside, his voice becoming stern. "Go get a few more trucks and see where all these sheep have gone! We must cull more than half of them before noon tomorrow! We can't let them sleep soundly tonight!"

"Captain, didn't we agree to give them some time at night?" A captain spoke up to defend himself. They also wanted to relax a little. It was too cold at night, and there might be wolves on the prairie.

Anyway, most of them were eliminated, whether they caught it or gave up, or were squeezed out by the three places.

Anyway, there will be three in the end, or there will be none left when the time is up.

Yuan Lang walked quickly forward and stared at the captain.

The captain's face turned pale in an instant and his lips trembled a few times.

"Tell me, what are we?" Yuan Lang shouted.

"It's a wolf! A big bad wolf that catches sheep!" The captain stood up straight and shouted.

"Can a wolf tell the truth? Is a wolf still a wolf if it tells the truth? Will a wolf that tells the truth starve to death?!"

"Captain, I'm going right away!"

The captain turned and ran out.

Yuan Lang turned around and looked at the two clerks behind him, and suddenly became furious.

"These two, lock them up with these fallen soldiers and don't let them out until the show is over."

"Hey, hey, hey, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel..."

The two clerks were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they hurried forward.

"Back off!" Two old A team members blocked their view and scolded them with cold eyes.

Seeing this, the two secretaries shrank their necks and turned back to the corner.

Now that the interview didn’t make the headlines, I lost my right to personal freedom.

Staying on this prairie for three days and three nights, isn't this just asking for trouble?
Deep in the grassland, a high-speed motor vehicle was chasing two small figures running away.

There were two soldiers, but they were running separately. When the motorcycle got closest to one of them, it dropped the two men off and turned to chase the other one.

The wheels rolled over a newly emerged fire, with a freshly slaughtered hare thrown beside it.

A soldier was about to cross the hill when he was hit and smoke came out. Another soldier was circled and brought back alive by a car.

The soldier in the car smiled mischievously and said, "You want to have a barbecue? You can see smoke coming from more than ten miles away."

The soldier sat down on the ground hatefully.

"Get in the car, soldiers. We'll treat you to a nice meal tomorrow. What on earth are you thinking of lighting a fire on the prairie?" Old A's team members shook their heads.

They were the harshest on the soldiers taking the assessment, and the other reconnaissance battalions were treated as examples.

When they saw people coming, they fired machine guns to drive them away.

-

The car pulled the soldiers away gradually.

Feng Yuxiu crawled out from a haystack.

He ate his dinner thoughtfully, "According to the general direction on the map, there's a water source about a kilometer ahead. These old A's are acting shady, so there must be ambushes around. So any landmark on the map can be considered a place you can't go to."

Feng Yuxiu took a look at the general map, and suddenly glanced at the flare hanging behind him.

A sinister smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He has plenty of dry food, but no water, and eating too much of this stuff makes you very thirsty.

He hasn't had any water for a day and now he can't even pee.

Compared to hunger, lack of water is the biggest problem.

Of course, drinking urine is the worst option. He might be able to urinate unless he holds it until night.

"I don't know where Wu Liuyi and the others have gone." The grassland is so big that he definitely cannot finish all the dry food by himself. If he can meet Wu Liuyi and the others, he can share some of it.

But the grassland is so huge that even driving on it is very difficult, not to mention that so many people have to be dispersed.

It was unrealistic to want to meet up with Wu Liuyi and the others in the first two days. By the last day, according to their pace, they should have reached their final destination.

This will distribute food to them for a final sprint, which is a timely help.

-

A bayonet was driven deep into the soil, digging out the roots beneath the grass.

This is behind a hill, where Wu Liuyi and seven others are hiding.

Wu Liuyi handed the few shabby grass roots in his hand to the soldier who was traveling with him: "This is seven-star grass, it has an earthy smell but is sweet. This is wild fern, you can eat it too."

Gan Xiaoning rummaged through his ration bag, which was empty. "Damn Old A! Damn the reconnaissance battalion!"

He tried to take a bite of the wild vegetables and kicked the empty can away from the ground.

Wu Liuyi reminded him: "Bury it. It will expose the target."

Gan Xiaoning had no choice but to dig the ground fiercely to bury the food bag and cried, "I'll just pretend I'm burying the bastard who planned this prank. He can't even start a fire! I wanted to cook some wild vegetables, start a fire, roast wild rabbit, boil sand grouse, roast grasshoppers..."

A soldier frowned and said, "We must not light a fire. In this terrain, lighting a fire is no different from open warfare."

Gan Xiaoning complained angrily, "He was running and hiding with 60 kilograms on his back, being chased by people. Is the little food he was given enough calories for an hour? He looked at the grass roots in his hand. Is this food? It's a microorganism!"

Wu Liuyi said confidently, "I believe that's how Old A got here. I can tell from the look in his eyes."

boom!
Suddenly, a figure came rushing from a distance, jumped over several big pits and dived down in front of the confused eyes of several people.

It’s a success!
"Finally found someone, being driven around alone."

Wu Liuyi frowned, "Chengcai, where is Xu Sanduo? You left with him one after the other. Don't tell me you didn't find him."

Chengcai said seriously, "I really didn't find him. He was too fast. By the time I got out of that cave, he had disappeared without a trace."

"But I seem to see that Old A is urgently catching people. Even at night they drive around looking for people."

Wu Liuyi was stunned. "Driving at night? Isn't that stupid? The headlights can be seen three miles away. Who can they catch?"

Chengcai shook his head. "I don't think they want to arrest anyone. You definitely won't be able to find anyone driving at night. They just want to drive us away and keep us awake at night."

Gan Xiaoning interrupted and asked, "Looking for someone? Did someone rob their lair?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's get some sleep. I'll be on duty, and you guys go to sleep. Someone will take my place later in the night!"

As the senior squad leader, Wu Liuyi quickly announced the tactics.

"no problem!"

Several people lay down in the pit with their arms around their chests, closed their eyes and fell asleep.

They know that the first day is just a warm-up, and the next two days will be the real hell!
