Chapter 183 The Tiger Brigade Reconnaissance Soldiers Delivered to Our Doorstep?

"Right turn! Run!"

At Liu Guoping's command, the entire Sixth Company left the square in front of the battalion headquarters and returned to their own barracks.

"Squad leader, come and assemble. Everyone else, go back and prepare."

"Yes!"

Xu Ge followed the veterans back to the tent and stood there dumbfounded with Li Dongshui.

They didn't know what preparations to make.

"Fill the canteen with water and pack two individual rations in the bag."

Wang Lin reminded them, "Also, bring the backpack strap and flashlight."

Li Dongshui was taken aback: "I know flashlights are for lighting at night, but why are we bringing backpack straps?"

"To tie people up!" Wang Lin said matter-of-factly. "If you capture a member of the Blue Army, don't you have to tie them up?"

"It's not just about bringing these things. We're going out to arrest people, so you can bring anything you think is useful!" Su Liujun added.

"understood!"

The two new recruits immediately began preparing as well.

A dozen minutes later, Guo Yuanshuai returned to the tent, and the first thing he did was to have everyone reattach their collar insignia.

"Today's uniform symbol is that the right collar remains stationary, while the left collar is pasted upside down!"

As Guo Yuanshuai spoke, he tore off the rank insignia on his left collar and then pasted it back on backwards. "If you see any collar insignia that isn't pasted like this outside, take it off immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

"Let's go get our hiking poles from the mess hall first!"

When Xu Ge followed Guo Yuanshuai out, he found that the other platoons were also heading behind the cooking squad's tent, and some of them had already returned with sticks in their hands.

They were called hiking poles, but they were actually wooden sticks that the quartermaster and his men chopped with machetes, each one over a meter and a half long.

"Choose the thicker ones; they're less likely to break when you hit someone," Guo Yuanshuai said casually.

Xu Ge was taken aback: "Deputy squad leader, are you really going to fight?"

“If we catch them and they don’t resist or run away, we definitely won’t fight them, but they certainly won’t just surrender, especially since we don’t have guns right now.”

Guo Yuanshuai explained, "You're still worried about them? Maybe they've brought even more outrageous weapons!"

"Understood!"

Xu Ge also ran to the woodpile and picked out a stick that he could handle.

Li Dongshui was bent over and rummaging around at the base of the tent wall. Xu Ge walked over curiously and found him picking up egg-sized stones and putting them into his bag.

Why are you picking up stones?

"A hidden weapon! If the person I'm trying to catch runs far away, I'll throw a stone at him!"

"Great idea! Give me a few!"

. . .

. . .

Around nine o'clock, the six people from the ninth squad arrived at the top of the mountain a few hundred meters to the right of the barracks.

Xu Ge looked around and saw that the mountains and fields were full of people dressed in military uniforms and holding wooden sticks.

"Deputy squad leader, so all this counter-surveillance was just a mountain search?" Li Dongshui's face was grim.

"What do you think?"

Guo Yuanshuai pointed ahead and said, "See that biggest mountain? That's our target today. We need to clear out all the people hiding in the mountains in the next few days. Even if we can't catch them all, we need to force them to leave so we can have time to clear out the people in the surrounding villages and towns later."

Almost two months have passed, and the surrounding vegetation is much taller than when we first arrived.

In addition, since everyone's camouflage uniforms are similar in color to the grass and trees, it is quite difficult to find people hiding in the mountains.

"Spread out a bit, let's start from here and move forward step by step." After saying that, Guo Yuanshuai picked up his stick and walked downstairs.

Li Dongshui waved the stick idly: "Squad leader, I think we don't need to look around our camp anymore. The Tiger Brigade shouldn't dare to get this close..."

"Shh! Don't speak!" Xu Ge suddenly said.

The group of people immediately tensed up and looked over in unison: "What's wrong?"

Xu Ge frowned and pointed with his stick at the bushes more than a hundred meters away: "I think I just heard someone fart over there!"

Everyone:? ? ?
"You bastard..." Guo Yuanshuai wanted to curse, "We're on a mission right now, don't mess with me!"

"Squad leader, I really heard that!"

Just as Xu Ge was about to explain, a breeze blew by, and a foul odor suddenly filled his nose.

"Are there no of our people in that direction?" Xu Ge asked seriously. "I'm absolutely certain someone's taking a dump there!"

Li Dongshui was shocked: "Damn, you can smell it from this far away? How come your nose is even more sensitive than a white tiger's?"

"It certainly can't compare to the White Tiger, but I can really smell it!"

Xu Ge continued, "They might not be able to hear us from where we are. Here's what I'll do: I'll sneak over there and ambush him!"

Seeing that Xu Ge didn't seem to be joking, Guo Yuanshuai waved his hand and said, "Su Liujun, you go with him to take a look."

Su Liujun waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The two immediately grabbed their sticks and headed towards the bushes, one in front of the other, while the others followed quietly behind.

After walking a few dozen meters ahead, Su Liujun sniffed as if he had also smelled something. He squatted down and whispered, "I'll go ahead and intercept him. You just need to bring him this way when you get there."

"it is good!"

Xu Ge crouched down and changed direction, slowly making his way into the bushes. He turned his head casually, and Su Liujun had already disappeared.

puff~
There was another soft sound.

Xu Ge now pinpointed the opponent's exact location and immediately gripped the stick, slowly moving closer.

He had only taken a couple of steps when he suddenly felt something trip his calf.

Clang! Two bullet casings, which had somehow ended up on the wild grass nearby, collided with each other with a crisp sound.

Wow!

A figure in military uniform suddenly sprang out of the bushes ahead, half of his white buttocks still exposed, and started running backward.

"Fuck!"

Xu Ge panicked and quickly grabbed a stick and chased after him.

The guy was pulling up his pants as he ran, and his speed was surprisingly fast through the waist-high grass!

Seeing the other person running further and further away, Xu Ge subconsciously reached out and took out a stone. Just as he was about to throw it, Su Liujun suddenly darted out from the side and front of the person, took a step forward and knocked the person down.

When Xu Ge arrived, he found Su Liujun straddling the other man, with a stick in his hand choking him, making the man's face turn red.

"Get a rope and tie his feet up first!"

"it is good!"

Xu Ge quickly untied the backpack strap and haphazardly wrapped it around the other person's feet a few times.

Su Liujun grinned: "You little punk, you've got some nerve! You've even gotten this far!"

"Cough cough cough! Misunderstanding... misunderstanding! I'm one of our own, brother!"

The man quickly replied, "I'm from the 75th Army Special Reconnaissance Company. I was just passing by and had a stomachache, so I thought I'd find a place to relieve myself!"

Xu Ge instinctively stopped what he was doing: "Damn it! Then why are you running?"

"You came here quietly with a stick, who wouldn't run away?" the man said irritably, his tone full of helplessness and resentment.

Xu Ge: ...

He wanted to apologize, but something just felt off.

At this moment, Su Liujun also got up from the other man, turned him over, tapped his collar with a stick, and looked at Xu Ge, saying, "See? You believe everything other people say!"

"If you're not a brother, what do you mean... Holy crap!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Su Liujun stomped on his chest: "Say less, so you don't suffer, understand?"

The man glanced at Su Liujun and wisely shut his mouth.

Upon seeing the two neatly arranged sergeant's collar insignia on the other man's collar, Xu Ge knew what Su Liujun meant: this guy wasn't one of their own!
Damn, this guy's acting is amazing, I actually believed him just now!
Swish!
Guo Yuanshuai and the others also rushed over.

The scout from the Fierce Tiger Brigade on the ground also noticed the unusual collars of everyone on Xu Ge's side, and gave a wry smile: "Damn, your Wolf Brigade has more tricks up your sleeve!"

. . .

. . .

A dozen minutes later, when the people from Class 9 brought back the prisoner they had captured, it caused an instant sensation. Even Zhang Hua and Huang Jiabo rushed over.

"Old squad leader, where were the people caught?" Zhang Hua asked.

Guo Yuanshuai pointed to the right side of the camp: "It's less than 500 meters from where we left the camp."

Everyone was shocked.

"Holy crap! You guys from the Fierce Tiger Brigade are way too arrogant! You've come right up to my doorstep to attack me?"

Liu Guoping was both angry and furious. "They're not taking my Wolf Brigade seriously! Take them to their tents!"

"Hey! What do you guys want?" the guy panicked. "This isn't a drill, you can't hit people... Oh crap!"

A few minutes later, Su Liujun and Kaiyoumu came out of the tent, carrying tools such as compasses, protractors, paper, and pens.

Zhang Hua glanced at the tools, then at the drawing on the paper, and frowned: "This is our camp coordinates... Wait, what does the Fierce Tiger Brigade need this for?"

Not only Zhang Hua, but everyone else was also stunned.

Although they had arrested someone, he wasn't a real prisoner, so they couldn't use torture to extract a confession. Therefore, they couldn't expect the guy to tell them anything. As a result, Kaiyoumu and Su Liujun came out immediately after the body search.

Guo Yuanshuai also took the paper and looked at it carefully. Xu Ge leaned over and saw that it indeed showed the coordinates of all the camps on his Second Battalion's side, as well as some other labeled numbers.

"What are they trying to do? Are they preparing to bombard us?" Guo Yuanshuai looked at the contents of the paper. "They've even calculated half of the firing parameters!"

Zhang Hua: "It's no use! We were already in combat positions before the exercise started, and the camp was empty."

"Damn it, what's wrong with the Tiger Brigade? Why are they ignoring their defensive fortifications and coming all the way to our camp?"

Liu Guoping seemed to have thought of something: "Battalion Commander, what if the Blue Army can launch an attack before the exercise? It's supposed to be at midnight on the 20th. What if they're allowed to move ahead of time?"

"Even if someone's cheating, it can't be this outrageous, right?" Zhang Hua was somewhat incredulous.

Huang Jiabo, however, agreed with Liu Guoping's view: "We haven't fought against the Fierce Tigers Brigade for many years, they might have really changed their tactics..."

"wrong!"

Guo Yuanshuai suddenly spoke up, "Even if what Guoping said is true, the Fierce Tiger Brigade wouldn't send people over so soon. I have a feeling this person was deliberately captured by us?"

Everyone:? ? ?
"Old squad leader, what do you mean by that?" Liu Guoping was a little confused.

Guo Yuanshuai pointed to the direction where they had caught the person earlier: "Look, that location isn't the best reconnaissance position. There are at least four or five places around here with a more comprehensive view. Besides, it's just for coordinates, why did we need to run so close?"

“That makes sense!” Zhang Hua nodded.

Liu Guoping: "If, as you say, squad leader, this person deliberately let us catch him, then what was his purpose?"

Faced with this question, everyone fell silent.

Guo Yuanshuai frowned and thought for a while, then turned to Xu Ge: "You were the first to discover that person. Do you feel there's anything wrong with him?"

Xu Ge thought about it carefully: "Nothing else, I just felt that this person's acting skills were pretty good."

"Anyone who can be a reconnaissance soldier is a good actor," Guo Yuanshuai said casually, before falling into deep thought again.

The others remained silent, each pondering what was going on.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Ge inexplicably thought of his cheap cousin, Thor, who always managed to spot details that others easily overlooked.

If Thor were here at this moment, would he discover something different?
Xu Ge tried to put himself in Thor's shoes and began to review the whole thing from beginning to end.

The time and location of the Tiger Brigade reconnaissance soldiers were discovered, the capture process, and their reactions after being captured.

At the time, we were originally planning to go straight ahead, and the bushes where the other side was hiding were places that were initially overlooked because they were too close to the camp and were in the dark.

Then, after discovering this, he and Su Liujun went to arrest the person, and he accidentally triggered a warning bullet casing.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Ge, and he seemed to know what was going on!
