Chapter 483 Hunting and Killing Coyotes
"Commander, our regiment finally has someone like him. He received a collective second-class merit in the first exercise. Why did you let him go? It would have been so much better to keep him."

The political commissar of the meritorious regiment tearfully pleaded with the regimental commander.

The regimental commander looked up, his face cold. "What are you doing? Even without orders from higher-ups, I would have sent him to participate in the selection. I've seen many conscripts come and go, and they eventually return to civilian life. It's so difficult to climb the ranks in the military."

"Let him rise higher, keep going. The military doesn't belong to individuals, it belongs to the nation. We should cultivate and supply the nation with top-notch soldiers."

The political commissar sighed, "I understand everything you're saying, but I'm still a little dazed. How could he alone change so much... Why don't the other officers in our regiment have this ability?"

The regimental commander smiled and said, "Although I don't know his detailed file, I've seen from the few words I've gathered that there are only a handful of elite soldiers of this caliber in a hundred years. He was born to be a soldier."

“If everyone had it as easy as him, we would have unified long ago, and maybe you and I would be admiring the remaining scenery in Osaka right now.”

The political commissar and all the officers shared the same thought: they all wanted to keep the best soldier they finally saw.

People with the same level of awareness as the regimental commander are rare these days; they all keep it hidden.

-

The truck, with its headlights on, wound its way up the mountain road.

Soldiers from the Lone Wolf Special Forces set up a checkpoint on the mountainside, with a sign five meters away that read "Military Restricted Area, No Entry".

"Everyone get off the bus and change vehicles!"

The special forces soldiers of the Lone Wolf Action Team raised their hands to block the advancing vehicles.

The carriage doors were opened, and the reconnaissance soldiers participating in the training disembarked and lined up.

Feng Yuxiu stood with nine soldiers from the Seventh Company.

Special forces soldier Coyote casually stepped forward and began counting heads.

"Everyone's here, you bunch of rookies. See that car over there? Get in!"

"Get these things out of here quickly, so they don't keep dangling in front of me. I'd rather go back to my dorm and sleep than deal with a bunch of trash."

"Wild wolves, coyotes, call out! These rookies are all here. Get ready to greet them. Over."

The reconnaissance soldiers who came to participate all had their jaw muscles bulging; they were among the top ten in their company.

He was a top-ranked soldier in the entire regiment, excelling in every aspect.

In the company, the company commander would always say a few words to them with a smile, because they represented the face and honor of the company.

These so-called special forces soldiers in front of me are nothing more than two eyeballs; what's so great about them?

Only Feng Yuxiu remained calm, repeating the same old routine.

Although he was already tired of seeing it, it was the first time these scouts had seen it, and it was a novel and exciting experience for them.

Using humiliation to motivate participating reconnaissance soldiers to work themselves to the bone to pass the assessment is a time-tested tactic that all military regions are adept at using.

"Platoon leader, how could they say that? It's disrespectful to us," Zhuang Yan said in a low voice.

Chen Pai glared at him. "You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, then show them. Once you become like them, you can convince them not to talk to new recruits like that. Now shut up."

After speaking, Chen Pai stood in the crowd and looked at Feng Yuxiu in the distance.

Feng Yuxiu had served in special forces units of two major military regions, and was in a top-notch special forces brigade.

He definitely knows how to get through. Chen Pai has been preparing for so many years to join the special forces, so he must get in this time.

"Let's go, our torture has only just begun. Everyone be quiet and don't make a sound. Chen Xiwa, come along." Chen Pai shouted, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company followed one after another.

Feng Yuxiu's side was the only exception; the soldiers behind him stood as still as rocks.

"superior."

It wasn't until Feng Yuxiu gave the order that the nine soldiers behind him followed.

He's got all the special forces spots this time! The nine soldiers from the Seventh Company behind him are the best; with him leading them, they're guaranteed to join the Lone Wolf Brigade.

The hyena stood in the shadows, staring intently at Feng Yuxiu. "That's him. He doesn't look like much."

"Coyote, didn't you see the soldiers behind him? They're moving in an orderly fashion, absolutely obedient to orders. You can tell the whole story from just one glimpse; this guy's no ordinary soldier. These days, it's rare to see a company commander with real power participating in special forces selections, isn't it?"

The hyena sneered, still eager to try, "In Lone Wolf, nobody can do anything, everyone has to kneel down for me."

"I don't care about this or that, just watch how I teach him a lesson. So what if he's a company commander? I've even dealt with majors. Let's go!"

-

The group climbed onto the truck, only to find it was full of people.

All the companies were scattered. The Lone Wolf Action Team had conducted a thorough investigation and absolutely forbade any behavior that showed solidarity during the assessment.

Assessments can only rely on individual willpower, not on team cohesion.

They need special forces, not assault troops.

Therefore, Feng Yuxiu was assigned to ride in the same car as Chen Pai and the others.

"Wow, so many old people?" Xiao Zhuang was a little stunned on the spot.

Chen Pai grinned: "We've selected the best reconnaissance troops from the entire military region, how could we be short of people?"

Xiao Zhuang stuck out his tongue, threw his backpack on the ground, plopped down on it, and wrapped his arms tightly around the rifle.

Before I could even settle in, the truck shot off with a loud bang, it was incredibly fast.

The truckload of greenhorns immediately swayed and staggered. Before some could even catch their breath, a loud voice with a Beijing accent shouted, "Holy crap! Is this how they start to intimidate us?"

Xiao Zhuang quickly turned around, glanced at the man's rank, and his eyes lit up: "Squad leader, you're from Beijing too?"

The sergeant took off his helmet and twirled it in his hand: "Yes, my name is Qiangzi, from the reconnaissance company of the 586th Regiment. And you? You're from Beijing too?"

"My name is Xiao Zhuang, I'm from the reconnaissance company of the 588th Regiment, and I used to study in Beijing!"

Qiangzi chuckled: "Oh, a student soldier? How come you're only a private?"

Xiao Zhuang immediately snapped, "So what if I'm a private? Does that mean I'm not qualified to be here? You're a sergeant and you're only just showing up now, and you still have the nerve to talk back to me!"

As soon as he said that, all the veterans on the bus burst into laughter.

Xiwa, who was next to him, quickly tugged at his sleeve, and Xiao Zhuang shut up, turning his head to stare out the car window without saying a word.

Qiangzi was still laughing, but there was something else in his tone: "Oh? You've got quite a temper, haven't you? Well done, kid, if you were in my class..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Zhuang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Wait until your next life!"

The veterans laughed even harder, bending over with mirth.

Qiangzi's smile vanished instantly, and he squinted at Xiao Zhuang, his expression changing.

Chen Pai quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, he's only seventeen, still a child, he doesn't know any better. I apologize on his behalf!"

The veteran chimed in, "He was a soldier in my platoon, so I'll apologize on his behalf. You're a veteran, please be understanding!"

Qiangzi stared at Xiaozhuang for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, but the smile was a bit strange: "Okay, no problem, I'll definitely be more lenient!"

Feng Yuxiu glanced at Qiangzi, who spoke with a Beijing accent.

Qiangzi sneered, and was about to speak when he noticed Feng Yuxiu's shoulder insignia and rank insignia. He immediately widened his eyes and shut his mouth.

A captain doesn't matter, but a captain at the company commander level is a big deal.

He doesn't dare!
He could stare at even a college student captain, but he wouldn't dare to do that to Feng Yuxiu's multiple identities.

The old man leaned comfortably against the wall inside the vehicle, a smile spreading across his face. After all, Feng Yuxiu was the company commander of his meritorious regiment, and they were together.

It's incredibly valuable that the Great Merit Group has someone who can back them up.

-

A convoy of five trucks drove on the highway, which was in terrible condition and full of potholes, but the drivers did not slow down at all and drove straight through it.

The reconnaissance soldiers in the truck were jolted about, some nearly being thrown over, and their complaints erupted: "Can you drive like this on this road? Are you trying to shake us to pieces?!" But the truck driver seemed not to hear them and continued driving forward, heading straight into a valley.

On the hilltop, Captain Gao was holding up binoculars and staring down below.

A voice suddenly came through the headset: "Wild Wolf, the rookies are at the designated location. Can we begin? Over."

"start."

The high school team only said two words.

No sooner had he finished speaking than two loud bangs erupted as the pre-planted explosives detonated right next to the truck's wheels.

The two explosions shook the truck violently.

The soldiers in the carriage were completely unprepared and were so frightened that they quickly grabbed the edge of the carriage, and screams filled the air.

Only Chen Pai remained calm, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Everyone grab your weapons! Get ready to get off the vehicle!"

No sooner had he finished shouting than a loud "boom" erupted next to the vehicle, sending clumps of dirt flying into the truck bed.

The truck finally stopped, and the scouts inside were already thrown about by the jolting.

The old man gripped his rifle and waved it forcefully: "Get out of the car! Get out of the car now! Find a place to hide and don't run around!"

Amidst the chaotic footsteps, Xiao Zhuang followed the others as they jumped down.

Explosions were still going off intermittently, both near and far. Chen Pai shouted again, "Throw away your backpacks! Prepare for action!"

The scouts quickly dropped their backpacks, grabbed their rifles, and pulled back the bolts.

Xiao Zhuang shrank back and leaned closer to Platoon Leader Chen, asking, "Platoon Leader, who are we fighting? We haven't seen a single person!"

"Shoot down anyone who dares to show their face!" Chen Pai replied decisively.

Xiwa, standing nearby, shouted, "But we only have blanks! It's useless to fire them!"

The veteran chimed in, "Nonsense! This is clearly a show of force! You really think they're going to get serious without using blanks?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of gunfire erupted from all directions. A large number of enemies suddenly emerged from behind the sand dunes and began firing at them.

The scouts hastily returned fire.

A moment later, another explosion occurred nearby. Chen Pai's voice was hoarse from shouting, "Don't run around! There might be another explosion nearby!"

Just then, a very loud motor noise came from over there.

When everyone looked up, a camouflage helicopter took off from behind the sand dunes and headed straight for them.

Chen Pai quickly shouted, "Shoot at the sky! Don't let it get close!"

Xiao Zhuang grabbed his Type 81 automatic rifle and, along with the soldiers around him, fired at the helicopter. Scrap bullets flew around in front of him, and the muzzle flashes made his eyes blurry.

As the helicopter flew overhead, it dropped several black, fuzzy tubes that were still emitting white smoke.

Xiao Zhuang panicked immediately: "Oh no! It's a bomb!"

The soldiers were instantly thrown into chaos, scrambling to dodge to the side.

But those tubes had already landed in their ranks, and white smoke billowed up all at once, making people cough.

Chen Pai quickly shouted, "It's tear gas! Put on your gas masks!"

The white smoke was filled with coughing sounds; the original formation had long since vanished.

Xiao Zhuang groped around on his body with one hand, and finally found a gas mask, which he quickly put on his face.

At that moment, the loudspeaker on the helicopter blared: "Listen up, you newbies! You're surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender now! Otherwise, we'll consider it resistance, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Xiwa flew into a rage upon hearing this, jumped up and fired a burst of bullets at the helicopter, yelling, "Fuck your mother! You want us to surrender? No way!"

"It's a pity that you're going against me like this; you'll have to pay the price."

As soon as the sound from the loudspeaker faded, the machine guns on the helicopter opened fire, and a dense barrage of spent bullet casings rained down, some of them hitting the soldiers' helmets directly.

Xiao Zhuang's helmet was hit several times by bullet casings, and he looked up and fired another burst at the helicopter.

After the helicopter finished sweeping and circled them in the air, the coyote stepped out of the truck cab, curled his lip, and said, "Now it's up to you guys. The first ten caught will be eliminated! Good luck."

Before anyone could react, more motors started up.

As dust filled the air, more than a dozen convertible SUVs suddenly appeared from all directions.

The soldiers on the vehicle were all wearing black berets and camouflage uniforms, their faces covered in camouflage paint, making it impossible to discern any expression.

Seeing this, the veteran quickly shouted, "Run! Brothers, if you don't run, you'll be caught!"

"Platoon leader, run!"

Zhuang Yan fired back rapidly, shouting loudly without turning his head.

Chen Pai remained squatting motionless in the same spot.

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and followed Chen Pai's gaze. From the beginning, the nine soldiers led by Feng Yuxiu stood motionless in the distance, as if they could not hear or see the brutality of the blank rounds around them.

"Platoon leader, what's the seventh company commander doing? Why isn't he moving?" Zhuang Yan asked, puzzled.

The veteran behind him crouched down and said, "Hurry up, they're about to surround us. Didn't you hear the first ten were eliminated? As long as we run the fastest, we'll win, even if we're not the last ten."

"Shut up!" Chen Pai continued to stare at Feng Yuxiu.

The Lone Wolf Action Team members behind them were getting closer and closer.

"Platoon leader!! If we don't run now, we'll all be eliminated! They're all blanks, it's useless for us to shoot them, but if they shoot us, we'll be eliminated. We have no other choice."

Old Pao and Zhuang Yan were shouting like madmen, while Chen Xiwa trembled with fear.

If he had been eliminated from the start, he would have been able to catch the reconnaissance company's breakfast when he got back. Miao Lian would have definitely thrown him into the pot and cooked him.

Chen Pai also showed a hesitant look. If they didn't run now, it would be too late. He couldn't imagine how disappointed and heartbroken Miao Lian would be if the entire reconnaissance company was eliminated.

Just as Chen Pai was about to run, Feng Yuxiu made a move in the distance.

He waved a strange gesture at the soldiers behind him, and the next second they all scattered and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhuang Yan and the others stared in disbelief at the scene.

Old Pao's lips trembled, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Platoon leader, this is utter nonsense. The Seventh Company Commander put on quite a show, deliberately drawing us in to watch him swagger. He already had an escape route. This is a complete disaster; we're the most backward..."

The Lone Wolf Squad made it very clear from the beginning that the pursuit would stop once the first ten were eliminated.

The old man looked around and realized that the reconnaissance company had exactly ten men.
Chen Pai's face turned somewhat ugly; he never expected that the Seventh Company Commander would be so cunning.

"Spread out and run!! Run on side roads and uneven, potholed areas, and never try to outrun a car!"

After saying that, Chen Pai and the others scattered.

"Oh ho ho, this is interesting."

The hyena grinned, "Keep chasing, it's fun, it's fun."

He continued the chase slowly in his car, but the next second, a shadow flashed past in the darkness in front of him.

The hyena paused for a moment, then instinctively stepped on the brakes.

boom!
The dark figure in front of him waved.

The hyena grinned, "This kid wants to test his skills against me... Well, I'll see what these newbies' physical abilities are like..."

His smile vanished abruptly as shadowy figures appeared from all directions.

Feng Yuxiu, who was in the lead, stood silently on the left, watching him.

The coyote suddenly felt a chill run down its spine. How... how could someone be planning to hunt them down?!
