Chapter 190 Stealing an Airplane? A Level D Military Order!

In the afternoon, at the regimental headquarters tent.

On his way here with the people from the Ninth Platoon, Xu Ge saw officers rushing around everywhere.

These people were carrying various items, and it seemed they planned to move to a different place today.

Guo Yuanshuai walked to the door of the largest tent: "Report!"

"Enter!"

The six people filed in.

The things inside the tent have been mostly packed up, except for a large sand table in the middle.

Regimental Commander Fu Qiang and Deputy Chief of Staff Gao Wen were discussing something in front of the sand table when they saw the Ninth Platoon enter. Fu Qiang waved to them and said, "Squad Leader Guo, come here. I have a difficult task for you."

"Commander, you don't mean for us to find the Blue Army's command post, do you?" Guo Yuanshuai asked directly.

Fu Qiang and Gao Wen exchanged a smile, and Gao Wen said, "How about it, Commander? I told you Lao Guo would definitely be able to guess it, right?"

"Hahaha! Squad Leader Guo, it has to be you again."

Fu Qiang laughed too, "But this wasn't my decision, it was the brigade commander who called the roll!"

Guo Yuanshuai smiled wryly: "The squad leader really thinks highly of me!"

"Old Guo, this time it's not just your team that's going to infiltrate the Blue Army's command post. Including the 75th Army, there are a total of six teams that will be infiltrating the Blue Army's territory."

Gao Wen pulled Guo Yuanshuai to the sand table and said, "The brigade commander said that whichever squad finds it first will receive a collective second-class merit and an individual third-class merit!"

This time, not only Guo Yuanshuai was shocked, but the rest of Class 9 were also excited.

"Commander, when do we set off?" Guo Yuanshuai accepted the mission.

"No rush, come on, Xu Ge, all of you come over here."

Fu Qiang beckoned the soldiers to the front of the sand table, drew a circle with a laser pointer, and said,

"Look, this is where we are now. The Blue Army's territory is in this area, including Queshan County behind us."

Xu Ge looked at the sand table and immediately understood the current regional divisions, after all, this was his hometown.

Simply put, the area west of Zhugou Town, including Zhugou Town, is the red zone, with Wagang Town in the middle serving as a buffer zone, and the area to the east, including the county seat, is the blue zone.

"Intelligence a week ago indicated that the Blue Army's command post was near Sanlihe, north of Queshan County, but it is no longer there. According to the investigators' deduction, they may have moved south."

Gao Wen briefly explained the current intelligence and said, "My suggestion to the regimental commander is that you go directly through Wagang and first go to the vicinity of the county town in Sanlihe to check the situation. If you don't find anything there, then turn south."

"But the key is to be fast!"

Fu Qiang said in a deep voice, "After the exercise starts at midnight tomorrow night, we and the 75th Army will press forward directly, not giving the Blue Army a chance to deploy its formation. But this is also a desperate tactic. We expect the other side to complete the encirclement of us within a day at the latest!"

"This requires finding the Blue Army's command post as soon as possible and completing the decapitation strike before their casualties reach 50%! Sergeant Guo, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!"

"Commander, don't scare me like that. There are six squads, right? Maybe the other squads can finish the mission ahead of schedule," Guo Yuanshuai said with a smile.

Fu Qiang flattered Guo Yuanshuai, saying, "In the previous counter-reconnaissance operation, your Ninth Platoon was the best performing group in the entire brigade and even the entire Red Army. Otherwise, the brigade commander would not have selected you. If we were to say which of these six teams has the best chance of completing the mission, it would only be your Ninth Platoon!"

The soldiers were so proud of what the regimental commander said that they puffed out their chests.

Guo Yuanshuai pondered for a moment and then asked, "Commander, does the exercise directing group have any special requirements for this exercise?"

"No!" Fu Qiang shook his head. "Vice President Lin came in person. His instruction is that everything should be aligned with actual combat, and even surpass it!"

"Won't there be investigators following us? If so, we can't guarantee our secrecy."

"No, you will all bring your own dashcams with GPS tracking, which will connect directly to the internet for remote monitoring."

"When will you leave?"

"tonight!"

"Nighttime and nocturnal?"

"Correct!"

"Understood, then we'll go prepare right away!" Guo Yuanshuai nodded.

"Gao Wen, take them over to collect their equipment." Fu Qiang looked at Guo Yuanshuai. "They can ask for anything they need anytime!"

"it is good!"

. . .

. . .

When they received their equipment, everyone was surprised to find that there were no obvious red or blue markings for this exercise.

For example, in the last confrontation with the infiltrated company, the helmets equipped with laser receivers had a small red and blue pointed tip, which was used to distinguish friend from foe.

However, during this joint cross-country exercise, no one's helmets had color-coded markings; not only the helmets, but other parts of the helmets were also unmarked.

This detail alone shows that this exercise is not just talk; it's meant to be close to or even surpass real combat.

Li Dongshui had a sudden inspiration and said, "Squad leader, since we have the same uniforms and weapons as the Blue Army, can't we just impersonate the Blue Army and swagger over to their command post?"

"You mean the Blues are all idiots?" Guo Yuanshuai glanced at him.

Li Dongshui was taken aback: "What do you mean, Deputy Squad Leader?"

Guo Yuanshuai ignored him: "Xu Ge, explain to this idiot."

"Oh!"

Xu Ge looked at Li Dongshui and pointed to his collar, "Why do we wear our military ranks with one side facing forward and the other backward, and why do we have to change the way we wear them every day?"

Li Dongshui: "To distinguish ourselves from our own people."

"Do you know how the Blue Team distinguishes its own members?"

"Uh... I don't know."

"Do you understand?"

Li Dongshui suddenly realized: "I understand!"

"Good boy!" Xu Ge pinched his little cheek. "When you get there, don't try to be clever anymore. Just follow the others obediently."

Li Dongshui: ...

Gao Wen then asked, "Old Guo, aren't there eight people in your class? Do you want six sets of laser transmitters or eight sets this time?"

"What's the difference?" Guo Yuanshuai asked.

“If you take six sets, Niu Sanxian and the other two will not be able to participate in this operation.”

Gao Wen explained, "Each set of equipment comes with a recorder. If the directing team discovers that someone is not fully equipped, they will be immediately deemed to have violated the rules!"

Guo Yuanshuai thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take eight sets."

Gao Wen brought over the form: "Okay, sign here."

Do you have the latest version of the military map of Queshan?

"Have."

Guo Yuanshuai tapped the helmet and asked, "What's with this dashcam on top? Does it have to be on 24/7?"

"Yes, starting at midnight tomorrow, all machines will be turned on at the same time."

"Damn it, isn't that turning into a live broadcast?"

Gao Wen reminded them, "So you should pay attention to your words and actions, or Vice President Niu and those big shots might pick you on camera."

"Find a car to pick us up at 6:30 pm," Guo Yuanshuai grumbled as he led his men back. Upon returning to the Sixth Company's barracks, Guo Yuanshuai first found the quartermaster and asked him to start the generator, saying he needed to fully charge his phone.

When the quartermaster saw that the men from the Ninth Platoon had returned with the equipment and weapons for the exercise, he agreed to start the machine without saying a word.

After everyone returned to the tent, they immediately plugged in all their phones and power banks. Guo Yuanshuai spread out the military map on the bed and called everyone over.

"Ge Bao, what are all these green areas to the south for?" Guo Yuanshuai asked, pointing to a large green area to the southeast of Queshan County.

Xu Ge thought for a moment: "That area seems to be a chestnut ecological protection area, all of which are chestnut forests that are hundreds of years old."

Then the others remembered that Xu Ge was a local, and their eyes lit up.

Su Liujun said, "Uncle Xu, have your dad get your relatives to help with the search!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Isn't that cheating?" Xu Ge hesitated. "Besides, my dad and the others don't understand military matters. Even if you threw the Blue Army command post in front of them, they might not be able to tell the difference."

Guo Yuanshuai patted Xu Ge on the shoulder: "Ge Bao, you're still too naive! Let me ask you, if asking your dad for help is considered cheating, does that mean those Blue Team players asking their fellow villagers for cover is also considered cheating?"

Xu Ge was taken aback: "That makes sense!"

"Why are those villagers willing to help the Blue Army? Because the Blue Army has been stationed here for many years, and who knows how many military dependents have become fellow villagers in the surrounding villages and towns."

Guo Yuanshuai said, "Doesn't your dad have a car? Ask him if he's free tonight and can take us to the vicinity of the county town."

"Okay, I'll call and ask."

As Xu Ge spoke, he took the phone and put it on speakerphone.

The phone was answered after a few rings: "Hey! Xiao Ge, what's up?"

Hearing engine and wind noise on the other end of the phone, Xu Ge asked curiously, "Dad, where are you driving to?"

"Let's go to Sanlihe."

What are you doing in Sanlihe?

“You’re about to have an exercise, right? I’ll send two of your comrades there to carry out the mission.”

Xu Zhijun's voice was full of pride, "They even asked me to help them find the Blue Army's command post!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
Guo Yuanshuai: ? ? ?

other people:? ? ?

"Dad, put it on speakerphone!" Xu Ge exclaimed in surprise.

The next moment, Xu Can's voice rang out: "Hahaha, Xu Ge, why are you calling your dad? Do you want your uncle to help you with your investigation?"

"Xu Can?" Xu Ge was stunned. "Wait, how did you get to my dad's place?"

Xu Can: "The boss brought me here."

Guo Yuanshuai: "Damn it, this bastard is shameless!"

Old Wang's voice also came through: "Squad leader, you're on speakerphone, can you please stop yelling at me all the time?"

Xu Ge asked, "What are you going to Sanlihe for?"

Xu Can: "What else could I be going there for?"

"You guys aren't going to steal a plane, are you?" Xu Ge asked in surprise.

Xu Zhijun: "It's probably true, there's a temporary airport over in Sanlihe."

"Dad, you agreed to help find the Blue Army command post? You don't even know what the commander looks like, do you?"

"Bullshit! Wherever there are communications soldiers and guards carrying big radios, that's the command post. You think your dad doesn't know anything, huh?"

Xu Ge: ...

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge and said, "Your dad seems to know more than you do."

Xu Ge was both amused and exasperated, then asked, "Dad, are you free tonight?"

"what?"

"Could you drive to Zhugou Town and pick us up too?"

Old Wang immediately realized: "Your Class 9 is one of those six reconnaissance teams?"

Xu Ge: "None of your business!"

"How dare you speak to your superior like that? You have no respect for your elders!" Xu Zhijun immediately retorted. "How have I raised you..."

Old Wang explained with a smile, "It's alright, Uncle Xu. Xu Ge and I were both trained by the old squad leader, so we're like brothers from the same school."

"I expelled you from the sect a long time ago!" Guo Yuanshuai cursed from the side.

"Pfft..."

You could tell that Xu Can was having a hard time holding it in.

Xu Zhijun remembered the important matter: "By the way, Xiao Ge, how many of you are there?"

"Six... no, eight."

"Okay, I'll get a minivan then."

. . .

. . .

After hanging up the phone, Wang Lin looked at Guo Yuanshuai: "Squad leader, why did those Hidden Wolves try to steal the Blue Army's plane? Aren't they just asking for trouble?"

"They're not that stupid. They probably plan to seize a plane and airdrop over there once they've identified the Blue Army's command post."

Guo Yuanshuai speculated, "It seems that the Hidden Wolves' equipment for this exercise was also restricted by the directing group."

Xu Ge understood Guo Yuanshuai's meaning: "Yes, with their Hidden Wolves' normal equipment level, finding a Blue Army command post would be a piece of cake. I didn't expect that they would have to run on the ground like us at this time."

"This is the directing team forcibly trying to give the Blue Team an advantage."

Guo Yuanshuai stood up. "There are still a few hours before we leave, so hurry up and go to sleep. There's no time to rest tonight."

Xu Ge lay down on the cot and closed his eyes like the others, but he was too excited to sleep because it was his first time participating in an exercise.

Inside the tent, the veterans were already snoring.

Since he couldn't sleep, Xu Ge simply summoned the token.

He still has one more chance to fulfill his pledge. The regimental commander had previously said that if he found the Blue Army's command post this time, he would receive a collective second-class merit and an individual third-class merit.

Xu Ge thought about it carefully. The squad leader was the best reconnaissance expert he had ever seen, and he himself had a top-level sniffing skill. In addition, this was his hometown, and he was familiar with the terrain. The possibility of completing the mission was actually very high.

Then let's sign a pledge!
With that in mind, Xu Ge confirmed the challenge in his mind: "To obtain at least one third-class merit in this exercise!"

The notification appeared quickly.

[The challenge chosen by the host is to obtain at least one third-class merit in this exercise, which has been determined to meet the requirements for Level D.]

Completing the challenge will reward you with 50 general skill points or 1000 general proficiency points; failing the challenge will result in corresponding penalties.

[Generating a Level D Military Order]

Please choose one of the following two versions and read it aloud in public.

[Version 1: I, (Host's Name), solemnly declare that I guarantee to receive at least one third-class merit award in this exercise. If I fail to do so, I will voluntarily abstain from all food for seven days.]

[Version Two: I, (Host Name), solemnly declare that I guarantee to receive at least one Third-Class Merit Citation during this exercise. If I fail to do so, my entire Sixth Company will have its one-month leave cancelled.]
