When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 100 Gunshots Before Dawn!

"Chief of Staff? Which Chief of Staff? Is it Deputy Chief of Staff Gao who came to investigate last time?" Luo Shan asked.

"No, it's Chief of Staff Liu from the brigade."

Xu Ge replied, "He even gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the shooting training."

Luo Shan's expression changed: "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"Probably not..."

“Platoon leader, I saw it too, it really is the brigade’s chief of staff, a colonel!” Li Dongshui added.

Luo Shan and the three squad leaders all turned serious.

"Platoon leader, why did Chief of Staff Liu come here in person?" Du Hu asked in a deep voice.

"Something's not right. I'll go check it out. The troops have brought him back to the platoon to stand by. The assessment is probably about to begin!"

"Yes!"

Class 1 is on the first floor. Standing at the door, you can see the playground outside through the corridor window.

After watching for a while, Kaiyu returned to the classroom and said, "The platoon leader is right. They've already started setting up the equipment for the drill assessment on the playground!"

"Everyone, change into your new training uniforms, put on your hats and belts, get ready!" Du Hu said immediately.

A tense atmosphere immediately filled the building, and there was not a sound in the entire building.

A short while later, Luo Shan returned, and the three squad leaders immediately went to greet him.

"Platoon leader, what is the assessment process?"

"The morning is for theory and drills, and the afternoon is for combat, parallel bars, and the 400-meter dash."

After Luo Shan finished speaking, the three squad leaders were all stunned for a moment. Du Hu asked in confusion, "So, tomorrow's test is on tactics and long-distance running?"

The assessment was scheduled for two days, but the number of tasks on the first day was significantly more than on the second day.

"I also find it strange. The political instructor is accompanying the chief of staff on an inspection of the camp. I expect there will be news later."

Luo Shan instructed, "Have everyone quickly review the regulations and rules, and those who can't remember them should read them several times as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Half an hour later.

Beep beep!

"Everyone, put on your hats and belts, bring your pens and stools, and assemble at the canteen!" the duty officer shouted from outside.

The new recruits immediately grabbed their things and headed out to assemble. As Zhou Meng was leaving, he tried to sneakily put the regulations into his pocket, but Du Hu saw him, snatched them away, threw them back on the table, and kicked him in the backside.
"Where the hell were you before? You dare bring cheat sheets at a time like this? You're asking for it, aren't you?"

After arriving at the parade ground to assemble, Xu Ge noticed that Luo Shan and the other two platoon leaders were also standing at the front of their respective platoons with stools. Liu Guoping personally organized the team and led them to the canteen, where each company then began to count the number of people.

A major led in several captains and lieutenants.

Liu Guoping turned and saluted: "Comrade examiner, the new recruits of the 1st Regiment of the Wolf Brigade are participating in the graduation assessment. 433 people should be present, and 430 people are present. One person is on duty, one person is accompanying the commander on an inspection, and one person is a sentry. Please give instructions!"

The major returned the salute: "All officers and key personnel, please leave. New recruits, please sit down!"

"Yes!"

After the officers and squad leaders left the mess hall, several junior officers began distributing the test papers. A major stepped forward and said:
"Comrades, each of you will have two papers. You don't need to write your name on the questionnaire. During the exam, talking to each other or looking around is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this rule will be immediately disqualified..."

. . .

. . .

Outside the canteen, all the cadres and class leaders were standing on the playground waiting when Huang Jiabo hurried over.

"The three company commanders and the quartermaster, come here for a moment!"

"Yes!"

The company commanders followed Huang Jiabo to the side of the equipment field. Liu Guoping couldn't help but ask, "Political Instructor, where is the Chief of Staff?"

"He was on the phone in the car, and he told me I didn't need to stay with him from now on."

Huang Jiabo looked at the company commanders and asked, "Don't you guys feel that something's off about this assessment?"

Everyone nodded.

Everyone here is a seasoned veteran, and when they saw that the brigade chief of staff was personally leading the team and that the assessment subjects were arranged in this way, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Instructor, where did you accompany the Chief of Staff just now?" Liu Guoping asked.

Huang Jiabo: "We went to the armory first, and then to the war reserve warehouse."

Liu Guoping frowned: "Inspecting these two places, are you planning to conduct an armed training exercise?"

"There's such thick snow everywhere, the national highways are probably all blocked, where can we move the troops?"

The second company commander shook his head. "Old Liu, aren't you being too sensitive? This is a new recruit camp, not an old company."

Liu Guoping insisted on his opinion: "Second brother, have you forgotten what Chief of Staff Liu's background is? He's the one who proposed the concept of 'training as close to actual combat as possible' for our Wolf Brigade!"

"I think Guoping makes a good point."

Huang Jiabo said in a deep voice, "Quartermaster, no matter what, we must make preparations first. All the supplies in the war reserve must be replenished."

"Yes!"

"Company Commander, you came from a reconnaissance background. After dinner, you and Luo Shan take a few squad leaders and climb over the wall behind the cookhouse. Look around the area. If the brigade headquarters is really planning a surprise attack, there will definitely be clues in this vicinity."

"Yes!"

"Everyone else should go back and inform their platoon and squad leaders beforehand, so they're prepared and don't panic and make a fool of themselves in front of the brigade commanders!"

"Yes!"

. . .

. . .

Because there were many assessment items scheduled for the first day, the new recruits were essentially kept busy all day long.

By the time dinner was over, everyone was too tired to walk.

The overall assessment results of Class 1 were very good. The theoretical scores have not yet been released. In the parade, except for two people who received good scores, everyone else received excellent scores. As for the 400-meter run and the parallel bars and horizontal bars, everyone got full marks!

"Huh? Where are the squad leader and deputy squad leader?" Li Dongshui asked curiously. "Why did they disappear right after we finished eating? I was planning to practice tactical hand signals tonight."

The new recruits then realized that Du Hu and Kaiyoumu hadn't returned after finishing their meal, and they became curious.

"Come on, let me tutor you." Seeing that neither the class monitor nor the vice-monitor was there, Xu Ge offered his help. With his current tactical skills, teaching Li Dongshui was more than enough.

"it is good!"

Seeing that even the usually lazy Li Dongshui had become more proactive, the other new recruits also began to prepare for the assessment the next day.

Around 7 o'clock, Du Hu and Kai Youmu returned to their dormitory, still feeling the chill.

"Xu Ge, has Dr. Lin contacted you in the last couple of days? Did she say when the intensive training exercise would be held?"

As soon as he returned, Du Hu looked at Xu Ge and asked.

"No, she seems pretty busy these past few days." Xu Ge asked, puzzled. "Squad leader, what happened?"

"There are a lot more sentries outside our camp. I wonder which unit they belong to," Kaiyu said with a serious expression. "I have a feeling that if it really is a surprise training exercise, it might happen tonight!"

"Fuck!"

"real or fake?"

The new recruits were all taken aback, and Xu Ge quickly asked, "What about tomorrow's tactical assessment?"

"I don't know what the higher-ups have planned!" Du Hu said with a serious expression. "Everyone, take out your combat packs immediately and check them to see if anything is missing or if any items that shouldn't be there have been put in them!"

"Squad leader, what kind of training exercises are we doing? In this heavy snow, are we going to have to climb mountains?" Li Dongshui was quite frightened.

Du Hu looked down at his combat kit: "It depends on the time of day. Nighttime trips are usually short distances, while daytime trips are long distances. It also depends on how you get to your destination. Damn it, squad leader, where's my compass?"

"Here I am!"

"Check everything carefully!"

"Squad leader, I... I'm out of my individual rations," Zhou Meng said softly.

Du Hu was about to explode: "Where are your rations?"

"Last time I was so hungry last night, I ate..."

"I'll eat you up! I'll fuck you!"

Du Hu pointed at Zhou Meng's nose and started cursing, "Didn't I say that nothing in the combat supply pack can be touched? Huh? I didn't say that!"

Zhou Meng kept his head down and remained silent.

Kaiyu sighed, "I'll go ask the quartermaster for another pack."

"Damn it, I'm from the same hometown as the quartermaster!" Du Hu stormed out.

"What are you all standing there for? Fill your water bottles!" Kaiyumu continued to direct. "Anyone with wet boots? Dry them off quickly."

"Put on clean socks, and if you have any candy, put a few in the water bottle..."

. . .

. . .

After everyone finished their work, they sat quietly in the classroom and waited.

According to Du Hu's experience, if it's a nighttime training exercise, it should be before 10 PM.

Beep beep!

The sudden whistle startled everyone, and Xu Ge instinctively reached for the belt on the headboard.

"Lights out!"

As the duty officer shouted, the entire camp was plunged into darkness in an instant.

"Hold!"

Du Hu cursed, "They're not really going to drag us out of bed in the middle of the night, are they?"

Since there has been no order yet, it means there won't be one before midnight.

"Get into bed, but remember not to sleep too soundly!"

Xu Ge simply didn't take off his pants, but took off his coat and crawled into bed. As soon as he lay down, a buzzing vibration sound appeared.

He reached under his pillow, pulled out his phone, and saw a message from Lin Wan: "Six o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Squad leader, look!" Xu Ge hurriedly handed his phone to Du Hu.

Du Hu jumped out of bed, threw on his coat, and ran outside to inform Luo Shan.

A few minutes later, Du Hu returned.

Set your alarm for 5:40!

"Well done, Xu Ge! The platoon leader said he wishes you and Dr. Lin a healthy baby soon!"

Xu Ge: ...

"Squad leader, can we sleep soundly now?"

"Go to sleep!"

"Squad leader, if we're doing field training tomorrow morning, is Baihu going too?"

"Go away, it won't get in the way if it follows."

"Woof!"

Nothing happened that night. Before dawn the next day, the new recruits were woken up one by one by Du Hu.

"Everyone go to the toilet and relieve yourselves, keep it quiet!" Du Hu whispered.

"Squad leader, should we pack our bags?"

"Don't call yet, we'll see how to notify them later."

A dozen minutes later, at six o'clock, when the light was darkest before dawn, there was no movement outside the camp.

Kaiyu looked at Xu Ge: "What's going on? Is the intelligence wrong...?"

Bang bang bang!
Da da da! Da da da!
Suddenly, gunfire erupted, and the entire camp was thrown into chaos.

The new recruits were all confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Holy crap!!! Are you serious?!" Du Hu exclaimed in shock!
The next moment, an unfamiliar voice shouted from outside: "Everyone, assemble for battle!"
