Chapter 182 Counter-Reconnaissance, Begins!
"What facial recognition?"

Xu Ge and the other new recruits were completely confused.

Kaiyu explained, "It means recording your face into their combat system. They can automatically recognize you no matter where they see you. Once you're recorded, don't even think about getting close to them for undercover reconnaissance."

Li Dongshui was shocked after hearing this: "Damn, how come the Blue Team can do this? Can we do it?"

Guo Yuanshuai shook his head: "In this exercise, we and the 75th Army are the defensive side, and we can only use the equipment specified in the regulations, but the Blue Army has no restrictions."

Xu Ge understood; the Blue Team was starting to use cheats.

Luo Shan couldn't contact Tian Xiaohu, so he thought of coming to find Xu Ge.

Xu Ge returned to his room, took out his phone, and sent a message to Ao Xiang. A short while later, the phone rang back; it was Tian Xiaohu.

Luo Shan took his phone and walked to the side. After speaking quietly with Tian Xiaohu for a while, he stood in the yard and asked loudly, "Who brought civilian clothes? Come and assemble!"

Soon, seven or eight veterans, including Guo Yuanshuai and Du Hu, arrived.

These people were among the first to go to the Blue Army's territory for reconnaissance; they were originally from Minggang and were dressed in civilian clothes.

Luo Shan: "Old squad leader, you take these guys and wait here for the infiltration company's vehicle. After you get to the Blue Army's area, find out the locations of all the newly installed surveillance cameras they've done recently."

Guo Yuanshuai nodded: "No problem, I'm familiar with that area."

"Everyone else, pack your bags and get ready. We'll be on the bus in fifteen minutes!"

"Yes!"

The group packed their bags quickly, and several veterans each took a portion of Guo Yuanshuai's luggage.

Xu Ge was about to leave with his backpack when Du Hu, who had changed into casual clothes, grabbed him.

"Take the white tiger back."

"Okay! No problem!" Xu Ge nodded.

Du Hu reminded him, "You'll probably have to cross the mountains to get back. Some parts are difficult to traverse, so you'll need to carry Baihu across."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Woof!"

The white tiger raised its head and barked at Xu Ge, its mouth open and tongue lolling out, looking as if it were grinning mischievously.

Looking at the large white dog on the ground, Xu Ge's face turned grim: "Squad leader, how much does Baihu weigh now?"

"It's not heavy, less than 40 kilograms."

"What the hell?"

"Woof!"

Seeing that Xu Ge didn't seem to believe him, Baihu leaped up the backpack and sat steadily on the back of his neck.

Xu Ge's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down on the spot!
"Get the hell down here! We haven't even entered the mountains yet!" Xu Ge threw Baihu off with an over-the-shoulder throw. "You bastard, you expect me to carry you for dozens of kilometers, huh?"

"Aww!"

Snapped!
The white tiger turned around, lashed Xu Ge's calf with its tail, and walked towards the courtyard gate on its own.

Xu Ge: "You fucking..."

. . .

. . .

After everyone boarded the vehicle, Baihu shamelessly snuggled into Xu Ge's arms, acting as if to say, "You can't get rid of me."

Xu Ge didn't bother with it and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

After leaving the airport, the convoy quickly turned onto the national highway and continued driving for less than ten kilometers before stopping on the side of the road.

"Everyone get off the bus and head into the mountains, quick!"

The officials were shouting and urging them on from outside.

"Hurry, hurry, the Blue Team's drones are coming soon."

Xu Ge, carrying a backpack in one hand and grabbing Baihu by the neck with the other, jumped off the car and quickly ran into the mountains with the others.

Luo Shan urged from the side, "Speed ​​up! Run three kilometers before you rest! Hurry!"

It was early April, and after a day of scorching sun, the temperature in the mountains was significantly higher than outside, and there were also more mosquitoes.

Xu Ge huffed and puffed as he ran alongside the group along the path, when suddenly he heard a white tiger roar behind him.

"Woof!"

Xu Ge turned around and saw that the guy was squatting in the shade by the roadside, sticking out his tongue and looking at him.

"What are you doing?" Xu Ge walked over, wiping the sweat from his brow, and asked, "Can't run anymore?"

"嘤嘤!"

"You're a military dog!" Xu Ge exclaimed in shock. "It's less than two kilometers, and you're telling me you can't run anymore?"

“Hahahaha!”

The white tiger was panting heavily, its tongue lolling out, its chest heaving violently.

Is it hot?

Xu Ge squatted down, wanting to reach out and touch the white tiger's head, but immediately felt a wave of heat wash over him.

"Holy crap! Get up here right now!" Xu Ge turned around, his back to the white tiger.

"Wang!"

White Tiger leaped onto the backpack.

Xu Ge quickly stood up and instantly felt cooler.

"I'm sorry, White Tiger, this was my oversight."

"Aww!"

The man and the dog continued walking forward, and the white tiger's breathing gradually became less heavy.

Xu Ge was indeed negligent in this matter. You should know that the hottest places in the mountains are near the ground. He overlooked the height of the white tiger and didn't realize that the guy was about to suffer from heatstroke.

Carrying the white tiger, they walked for another kilometer or so, and the team was completely deep in the mountains. Luo Shan gave the order to rest in a grove of trees.

No one minded getting dirty; they all put their backpacks on the ground, sat down, and started drinking water from their water bottles.

"Aren't you going to get down here?"

Xu Ge shrugged irritably, and Baihu jumped down, staring at the water bottle at his waist. "Thirsty, huh? Let me drink first."

Xu Ge sat on his backpack, unscrewed the water bottle, and began to gulp down water.

"Woof!"

The white tiger seemed to have heard some noise and turned to run out of the woods.

Xu Ge didn't bother with it, since he didn't have to worry about it getting lost. He looked at Luo Shan and asked, "Platoon leader, the exercise hasn't even started yet, and we're already being forced to hide in the mountains by the Blue Army. Isn't that too frustrating?"

“They have friend-or-foe identification. Once a face is recorded, all reconnaissance advantages are lost. There’s no other way but to hide from them.”

Luo Shan wiped the sweat from his face. "Once the exercise officially begins, there will be plenty of opportunities to take them down!"

"Woof!"

Not far away, the white tiger roared.

"Platoon leader, there's a stream up ahead, and the water's pretty clean!" Li Dongshui called out. "You can come and wash your face here!"

Upon hearing this, the others all got up and ran over.

Xu Ge followed and saw that there was indeed a crystal-clear stream flowing down the mountain, with the white tiger lying on the bank drinking water.

"Everyone wash your faces and cool down, then we'll continue on our way!" Luo Shan shouted.

Xu Ge found a clean spot, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, instantly feeling much refreshed.

"Wang Wang!"

The white tiger wagged its tail and ran over, looking at the stream and then at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge understood what this guy meant and cursed, "You bastard, if you dare to jump down and take a bath, you'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Don't expect me to carry you!"

"Aww!"

The white tiger barked at Xu Ge, then suddenly raised its leg, shooting a jet of water into the stream.

"Fuck!"

"Damn you, you white tiger!"

"Ptooey! Holy crap!"

Several veterans downstream immediately erupted in anger, cursing and swearing as they rushed over to beat the dog.

The white tiger had already vanished without a trace.

. . .

. . .

Around 10 p.m., the group of people, exhausted and hungry, finally returned to Queshan.

Once they passed the Red Army's roadblock, everyone lay down by the roadside, truly not wanting to get up again.

Keep in mind that this group of people had been trekking through the mountains for five or six hours straight since the afternoon, covering a total distance of more than 30 kilometers!

Fortunately, the convoy was already waiting there and immediately took each company back to their respective camps.

As soon as they got off the car, Du Hu took Bai Hu to the regimental headquarters, where their canteen was located.

The cooks left some food for everyone, and no one bothered to complain that the food was full of dirt and grass clippings; they all wolfed it down.

After the meal, Guo Yuanshuai had to hold a meeting with the cadres, while the others went back to their tents to make up their beds and sleep.

Li Dongshui was so tired that he didn't want to say a word. He just threw the blanket on and fell asleep on the cot.

Fortunately, it wasn't too hot here at night. Xu Ge quickly washed up, sighed, and lay down on the bed. He took out his phone but hadn't even exchanged two words with Lin Wan before he fell asleep.

When Xu Ge woke up the next morning, he felt aches and pains in his back and waist. Looking around, he saw that everyone else had similar symptoms.

When the wake-up whistle blew, everyone heard Luo Shan shouting that there would be no morning exercises and that each class should tidy up their own quarters. They thought they could have a day off.

Unexpectedly, after breakfast, I suddenly received a notice to assemble the entire battalion for a military meeting.

The atmosphere in the entire camp instantly became tense.

It's important to understand that holding a military conference at this time means there must be something important to announce, and it might very well be related to this exercise.

Sure enough, after everyone had assembled, Battalion Commander Zhang Hua announced the time of the exercise.

"The Queshan Crossing Joint Exercise will officially begin at 4:0 on April 20th and will last for three days!"

Everyone immediately perked up.

"The military has invested a huge amount of manpower and resources in this exercise, and leaders at all levels have attached great importance to it! Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lin has also given important instructions, saying that everything should be as close as possible to actual combat, and even surpass actual combat!"

At this point, Zhang Hua smiled, "Correspondingly, the standards for meritorious service in the exercise will be aligned with those in wartime, which is an opportunity for each of you!"

boom!
A commotion immediately broke out in the audience.

The soldiers' expressions all became excited.

Zhang Hua said loudly, "Especially for new recruits and veterans who want to stay in the army, their performance in this exercise will be very important!"

At the same time, for those veterans who are about to retire, this is also the last passionate moment of your military career. I hope none of you will go back with regrets!

"Does everyone have the confidence to do it?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs.

"I won't say any more, let's get straight to assigning tasks!"

Zhang Hua took out a plan, glanced at it a few times, and said, "Although there are still two weeks before the exercise officially begins, our confrontation with the Blue Army has already started!"

"Especially during the two days that our three regiments were participating in parachute training, the Blue Army has already infiltrated the buffer zone between the two sides. Some of them have even sneaked into our defense zone!"

!!!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.

No one expected the Blue Team to act so quickly!

So it seems that yesterday, while they were setting up roadblocks and forcibly recording faces, they also took advantage of the time when the first, second, and third regiments were rotating to Minggang Airport to carry out a large-scale infiltration!
"Right now, the Second and Third Regiments are still participating in parachute training at Minggang Airport. Yesterday, most of the First Battalion and the Reconnaissance Company had their faces recorded. From now on, the burden on our Second and Third Battalions will be much heavier!"

Zhang Hua's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "Starting today, we will be conducting a large-scale counter-reconnaissance operation in conjunction with the 75th Army!"

"Each company is responsible for its own area. Take out all the Blue Army's spies and informants!"
