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

Chapter 174: I have to go all out! I'll break the record for you!
The male photographer carried the camera, while the female reporter held the microphone directly to Xu Ge's mouth.

"Hello, new recruit, I'm Zhuang Xiaotie, a reporter from the military channel. May I ask you a few questions?" Zhuang Xiaotie asked with a smile.

Xu Ge looked around. Apart from the contestants and spectators, the only other person around was the starter, who was an officer.

The starter hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Xu Ge.

“Okay, go ahead and pick them,” Xu Ge said while tying his shoelaces.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Ge".

"Comrade Xu Ge, are you a new recruit in the First Regiment?" Zhuang Xiaotie habitually started the conversation.

Xu Ge stood up, looked the other woman up and down, and thought that this female reporter seemed to be a little slow on the uptake.

"Xiao Tie, this is the Wolf Brigade's First Regiment Warrior Tournament. Only members of the First Regiment can participate!"

Seeing that Xu Ge remained silent, the photographer quickly reminded Zhuang Xiaotie.

"Oh! Sorry, Comrade Xu Ge, I asked a pointless question!"

Zhuang Xiaotie realized he had made a basic mistake and quickly apologized.

"It's alright, go ahead and ask." Xu Ge was somewhat surprised by the other party's unpretentious attitude.

"I looked around the field earlier and it seems like you're the only new recruit, is that right?"

"Yes, I'm the only new recruit participating this year."

Can you tell me why?

"Uh... because the other recruits aren't strong enough." Xu Ge awkwardly put on a show.

Zhuang Xiaotie's eyes lit up: "So, you're very confident in winning this year's Warrior title?"

Xu Ge: "It's alright."

"In that case, Comrade Xu Ge, could we follow you and do a follow-up report to record your competition process?"

Zhuang Xiaotie realized that he seemed to have encountered something particularly worth reporting.

"You should ask our regimental commander about this," Xu Ge said, puzzled.

Zhuang Xiaotie laughed: "I need to ask for your opinion first. I'm very familiar with Commander Fu... no, Commander Qiang, he'll definitely agree..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Wen ran over with a walkie-talkie: "Reporter Zhuang, our team leader said you should have someone else interview you!"

Zhuang Xiaotie: ? ? ?

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Why change someone else? It's a rare opportunity for new recruits to participate in the Warriors Tournament!" Zhuang Xiaotie wanted to try again. "We won't affect the progress of the competition."

Gao Wen shook his head: "I don't know the reason either, but it's the commander's order!"

As soon as the order was given, Zhuang Xiaotie immediately stopped insisting, smiled at Xu Ge, and left with the photographer.

Gao Wen nodded to the starter: "Let's continue the race!"

"Yes!"

The starter looked at the four people, including Xu Ge, and asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Let me tie my shoelaces again!"

Xu Ge quickly squatted down, while looking at Wang Lin and Su Liujun to the side.

He remembered that the two people seemed to have something to say to him.

"Xu Ge, remember, when you climb over the high wall and then climb down the low stake net, you must hold the gun with one hand, or you'll get points deducted!" Wang Lin whispered.

Xu Ge nodded, took the Type 191 assault rifle from his right hand, and prepared to set off.

This is the advantage of having a support group. Wang Lin's advice was very useful because Xu Ge genuinely didn't know that he needed to switch to holding the gun with one hand after climbing over the high wall.

Each obstacle has a different way of being overcome. Except for the places where you have to use both hands to climb over and carry your gun on your back, you have to use one hand to carry your gun over all the other places.

For example, the initial three obstacles—the three-step stakes, the trench, and the low wall—required a single-handed grip on the gun when passing them. After flying over the low wall, the gun had to be immediately switched to a slung-on-the-back stance to climb over the high and low ramps.

Changing how you hold a gun back and forth will definitely waste time, so naturally everyone tries to avoid doing so if they can.

After climbing over the high wall, the next obstacle is a low stake net. It is supposed to be crawled over in a low position with a gun in one hand. However, in previous years, this place was not strictly enforced, and there were no cases of being penalized for crawling over with a gun on one's back. I didn't expect it to be changed this year.

. . .

. . .

beep!
At the sound of the starter's whistle, Xu Ge immediately grabbed his gun and began to sprint, reaching the first obstacle a dozen seconds later.

"come on!"

"Watch out, your footing might slip! Take a step!"

Wang Lin, Su Liujun, and Li Dongshui cheered them on from the sidelines.

On a high slope not far away, Zhao Jiang, holding up his binoculars, asked, "Commander Zhang, is that number 37 the new recruit Xu Ge you mentioned?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Fengxue nodded, watching Xu Ge's figure as he climbed over the obstacle, her eyes showing admiration.

"That's really good. This level of skill would be enough to get into the reconnaissance company in our brigade!"

Zhao Jiang put down his binoculars and continued, "Just now, a reporter seemed to want to interview this recruit, and then someone went to stop them. Was that your doing?"

Zhang Fengxue: "Really? I didn't notice."

Hahaha! You!

Zhao Jiang laughed and guessed, "Could it be that this recruit has already been pre-selected by the Hidden Wolves?"

"Old Zhao, that's not right of you!" Zhang Fengxue deliberately put on a stern face. "Who asks for information in front of me?"

"What do you mean by spying? Have you forgotten that our two families are allies and are going to fight the Fierce Tiger Brigade together?" Zhao Jiang said irritably.

Zhang Fengxue smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhao Jiang lowered his voice: "Will Sirius and Hidden Wolf participate in this exercise?"

"Whether we go on stage or not, we still have to fight, right?" Zhang Fengxue glanced at Zhao Jiang. "What, are you waiting for my men to behead you? You want to slack off, don't you, old man?"

"What are you saying!" Zhao Jiang retorted, "If your Hidden Wolf Squad is going to go, wouldn't I have to coordinate in advance, at least to find the Tiger Brigade's command post?"

"Old Zhao, you said it yourself, the Blue Army's command post will be handed over to you then."

"No, no! Why do you always like to divide things so clearly?"

Zhao Jiang was both amused and exasperated. "How about this, when the exercise starts, I'll hand over the entire 75th Army Special Operations Brigade to you for command, okay?"

Zhang Fengxue glared at him: "You wish..."

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, Fu Qiang, who was sitting on a bench to the side, let out a soft exclamation.

"What happened?"

Zhang Fengxue quickly looked towards the 400-meter obstacle course and saw Xu Ge staggering as he sprinted toward the finish line.

Fu Qiang: "Brigade Commander, Xu Ge just tripped and fell!"

"Is it serious?"

"He seems to be alright; he immediately got up and continued."

Zhang Fengxue continued to watch Xu Ge on the field until he successfully completed the tactical maneuvers and arrived at the bottom of the climbing tower. Only then did he stand up and say with a smile, "Let's go, Lao Zhao, let's go check out the shooting range?"

"Alright! I'd like to see just how fast your Wolf Brigade's guns are!" Zhao Jiang also stood up.

After the last confrontation ended, Zhang Fengxue ordered the video of Xu Ge's ambush and infiltration of the company to be blocked.

Zhao Jiang only knew from Tian Xiaohu and Ao Xiang that this recruit's shooting speed was very fast, but he was very curious about just how fast.

. . .

. . .

drop!
"15.98 seconds!"

As Xu Ge, carrying a gun, stepped over the railing at the top of the climbing building, the examiner pressed the stopwatch. After descending, Wang Lin and the other two immediately surrounded him: "What was your score?"

Xu Ge: "8.7 seconds."

"Not bad!"

Su Liujun only needed a rough estimate to know that there was hope: "As long as the average of the next two shooting tests is above excellent, the title of Warrior is guaranteed!"

Li Dongshui stepped forward and touched the gun on Xu Ge's back, frowning as he said, "Did you drop the gun just now? The scope is a bit loose!"

Wang Lin and Su Liujun's expressions both changed.

"Damn it! What do we do now?"

"We'll have to use iron sights!"

"It's so hard to hit targets 200 meters away with iron sights!"

"It's okay, I feel like I can score at least 80 points!"

“An 80-ring score isn’t enough!” Wang Lin thought for a moment, then frowned and said, “Unless you get first place in the combined rapid shooting event and earn extra points!”

Xu Ge grinned: "Don't worry, it's all covered!"

Inside the tent behind the shooting range, Tian Xiaohu was talking to Ao Xiang in a low voice.

"Damn, their Wolf Brigade actually made rapid shooting a separate assessment item. No wonder these guys are so fast and accurate!"

Tian Xiaohu looked around and was shocked. "When I get back, I'll also suggest that the brigade commander take this into consideration."

Ao Xiang: "Those people just now weren't fast, at least not as fast as Xu Ge that night."

"So, Xu Ge was originally a top player among these people? No wonder he was the only new recruit to participate."

"I wouldn't call him an expert. I just watched his performance in other projects, and I can only say that he was average."

"Hey, look! Isn't that number 37? He's at the shooting range!"

Ao Xiang looked in the direction Tian Xiaohu was pointing and nodded: "That's right, it's him... Holy crap? Where's the scope on his gun?"

Tian Xiaohu was taken aback, and upon closer inspection, he was also surprised: "It really is! What's going on?"

"It must have been from a previous project where the gun was bumped; the scope is probably crooked," Ao Xiang guessed.

Tian Xiaohu: "At this point, there's no time to calibrate the gun, so you just fire the iron sights?"

The two watched for a while longer and found that Xu Ge indeed lay down on the ground and began loading ammunition.

boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
The next moment, gunshots rang out across the firing range.

After Xu Ge's group finished firing, everyone immediately got up and went to the combined rapid firing position on the side, where ten steel plate targets were placed in front of each position.

Due to space limitations, only 5 people can participate in this project at a time, and Xu Ge was in the later batch.

Tian Xiaohu took out a stopwatch: "I wonder how your brother-in-arms did in the 200 meters. If it wasn't good, he probably won't get the Warrior title."

"It's okay, he's still a new recruit. If he doesn't get it this year, he can try again next year."

Ao Xiang didn't know who he was trying to comfort. After speaking, he looked at the stopwatch in Tian Xiaohu's hand and asked, "Company Commander, what are you doing with that stopwatch?"

"I'll time Xu Ge for a bit later!"

Da da da!
clap clap clap!
Dang Dang Dang!
No sooner had the words been spoken than the first wave of gunfire began, and a dense barrage of gunfire instantly echoed through the air.

"Damn, that guy is fast!"

Tian Xiaohu immediately turned his attention to Chen Wei's position.

Ao Xiang also noticed that the other person finished shooting much faster than others, and frowned: "There's another expert?"

. . .

. . .

Off the field, after watching Chen Wei's shooting, the expressions of Wang Lin and the other two all became serious.

"It's definitely under five seconds, but whether it breaks the record is hard to say!" Su Liujun said in a deep voice.

Li Dongshui asked nervously, "Can Xu Ge beat him?"

"Damn it, if he can't beat us, we're going to take turns fucking him over two hundred times tonight! We can't let all our efforts go to waste!"

At this point, Wang Lin raised his voice and shouted again, "Xu Ge, you must get first place!"

Xu Ge turned around, waved, and shouted back, "It's all here!"

Call!
The audience outside the stadium immediately started booing.

This recruit is way too arrogant!
The five people in front had already completed the gun inspection and began to evacuate.

As Xu Ge and his group of five advanced, and the two sides met, Chen Wei suddenly said, "Are you that confident in yourself? I shot 4.5 seconds, almost breaking the record!"

The fastest record for the entire team is 4.1 seconds.

Xu Ge smiled and said, "Then you wait in the back, I'll break the record for you."

Upon reaching their firing positions, the five men immediately began loading bullets and changing magazines.

"Are you ready?"

"All right!"

Xu Ge took a deep breath, spread his fingers and then clenched them, adjusting his body to the most relaxed posture, and silently sighed in his heart:

"Looks like I have no choice but to go all out!"

But that's fine too, he himself is also very curious to know just how fast a master-level rapid-fire can be.

As soon as the starter waved his flag, five timers came up behind the runners with voice-activated stopwatches.

drop!
Almost the instant the electronic sound rang out, Xu Ge's hands had already completed the rifle-holding maneuver.

Click!

Da da da da da!
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!

Release, draw the pistol, chamber a round, click!

Xu Ge felt as if a spring had automatically been installed in the pistol, making him significantly faster than before!

Clap clap clap clap!
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
card!
With the pistol in its magazine, Xu Ge began to examine it.

The others had not yet finished firing, and the gunfire continued.

boom!
A sudden commotion broke out outside the stadium.

The difference between Xu Ge and the others was too obvious; he was more than a second faster!
The timer behind him was also excited: "3.68 seconds!"

"it is good!"

"We won, holy crap!"

"Dad Xu is awesome!"

Outside, Wang Lin and the other two jumped up.

Upon hearing the result of 3.68 seconds, Chen Wei's mouth dropped open, and he was completely petrified.

In a tent further away, Ao Xiang, anxiously looking at Tian Xiaohu since he hadn't heard the timer announce the score, asked, "How much?"

Tian Xiaohu turned his head blankly, the numbers on the stopwatch still jumping rapidly: "Damn, it's too fast, I didn't even have time to press it!"

On a slope to the left rear of the tent, a group of officers were standing and gazing into the distance.

Zhang Fengxue and Zhao Jiang simultaneously put down their binoculars.

Zhao Jiang sighed: "So that's how the infiltration company was ambushed! Old Zhang, your Wolf Brigade is really... damn, I'm green with envy!"

Zhang Fengxue laughed heartily: "Old Zhao, do you know that this new recruit was trained by the recruits I trained?"

Zhao Jiang thought for a while before understanding what the other party meant, his expression complicated: "This is the enviable legacy of your Wolf Brigade!"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant colonels and colonels behind them unconsciously puffed out their chests, their faces beaming with pride.
