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

Chapter 239: Poaching!
Tian Xiaohu and his three companions stayed in the dormitory, and as time passed, everyone's heart sank.

There was still no movement at the entrance after so long, and the person who went out to move the car hadn't come back either. Something must have happened!

"No, why is Xu Ge here?"

Leaning against the back window, Tian Xiaohu's initial passion and arrogance from his long journey had long since vanished. He still couldn't accept it. "Why the hell is he here?!"

The other three also looked grim. One of them said, "Company Commander, no matter how good Xu Ge is, he's only one person. As long as we stay here and don't go out to fight him, he can't do anything to us!"

Tian Xiaohu nodded: "This is the only way for now."

"If he dares to come over later, I'll trade one for one with him!"

"Yes, we outnumber them, so even a two-for-one trade isn't a loss!"

"As long as there's one person left, our plan can continue..."

Snapped!
Suddenly, all the lights in the outpost went out, plunging the courtyard into darkness.

The four immediately fell silent and each guarded their own direction.

Although Sweetwater Marine Station was Xu Ge's home turf, Tian Xiaohu and his men were elites from the infiltration company, and they had already figured out the layout of the courtyard when they arrived.

"Keep your eyes on the 10 o'clock direction. If Xu Ge comes in, he'll definitely go that way!"

"understand!"

The scene of Xu Ge suddenly emerging from behind a tree and wiping out his entire squad in a matter of seconds in the forest of Queshan that night involuntarily flashed into Tian Xiaohu's mind.

Just like now, it was pitch black back then.

But Xu Ge caught us off guard back then; now that we're prepared, it won't be so easy for him to launch a sneak attack again.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Suddenly, a knocking sound from the window behind him interrupted Tian Xiaohu's thoughts.

Tian Xiaohu was taken aback. Behind him was the wall of the military post. He had specifically observed it before, and the distance between it and the dormitory window was only thirty or forty centimeters, making it impossible for a person to pass through.

After the thought flashed through his mind, Tian Xiaohu turned around and looked back.

In the darkness, a large, white, furry head came into view. The creature grinned and scratched at the window with its claws.

"Fuck!!!"

Tian Xiaohu felt his scalp tingle and his whole body explode!

The other three were startled by the commotion and instinctively turned around to look.

It was at this moment that a shadow silently slipped in from the direction of the military station gate under the cover of darkness.

"Company Commander?" someone called out.

Tian Xiaohu's face turned ashen, his heart pounding: "Damn! What is this thing... huh?"

Just as he was speaking, the large white head on the window disappeared.

"It's alright now! Keep an eye on the outside!"

"Yes!"

The two people at the door continued to stand in alternating positions, blocking any angle.

Outside in the corridor, Xu Ge was quietly pressed against the wall, his gun also pointed at the dormitory door.

Four unfamiliar smells wafted through the air.

It's not entirely unfamiliar; there's one dish that's somewhat familiar, which I think should be Tian Xiaohu's.

From the direction of the boiler room across the street, the white tiger silently ran along the base of the wall.

"go with!"

Xu Ge made a gesture to attack, and a white figure suddenly darted into the dormitory from the doorway.

[Military orders are executed 100%, designated skill value +1]

Sniffing: Superior (16/500).

The next moment, a big commotion broke out in the dormitory.

"Holy crap! What is this thing?"

"Ouch!!!"

"My God! Is that a wolf?!"

"Damn! Should we shoot?"

"Where's the wolf? Where did it go?"

"Don't panic! Don't be alarmed! Watch out for the door..."

Xu Ge had already arrived at the door. Based on the sounds he heard, he had already determined the location of the four people in the dormitory before even showing himself.

The next moment, he suddenly flashed in, his pupils reflecting four panicked figures.

My index finger twitched slightly, and a long-lost sensation returned.

Clap clap clap!

In the darkness, four sparks flashed and disappeared.

. . .

. . .

Inside the directing center, the bigwigs stared at the screen without saying a word, their expressions varied.

Vice Chairman Lin looked on with admiration and satisfaction.

The other bigwigs who had observed the Queshan exercise exchanged knowing smiles, as expected.

Luo Jian opened his mouth wide. He had only one thought in mind: after the exercise was over, he would hang the guy in charge of personnel mobilization!

Such a formidable figure was actually transferred to guard the outpost?!

Do you really think we have an overflow of talent in our 76th Army?

Zhuang Shisan was stunned. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Can anyone tell me what just happened?"

Since the screen here displays footage from the recorders on the team members' bodies, which is inherently unstable, the screen shakes whenever a person moves.

He only vaguely saw something dart into the frame, and then a few sparks lit up at the doorway.

Gunfire erupted immediately, and the four team members were declared dead.

It only takes a second or two; people don't even have time to react.

Luo Jian sat down leisurely, crossing his legs: "Isn't it obvious what happened? Your entire five-man squad from the 75th Army has been wiped out!" "Who did it? I didn't even see a damn person!" Zhuang Shisan looked at the staff officer in charge of data collection, "Was the assessment wrong?"

The staff officer stood up: "Reporting to Commander Zhuang, the laser receivers on the heads of all four team members have been triggered. There was no mistake in the judgment; they have indeed all been killed in action!"

"What did you say? A headshot?!"

Zhuang Shisan thought he had misheard and glared at the advisor, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

The staff officer seemed somewhat at a loss: "Chief Zhuang, the data shows that..."

"What kind of bullshit data is this? The data must be wrong!" Zhuang Shisan interrupted rudely.

Luo Jian was displeased: "What do you want, Zhuang? Trying to interfere with the exercise? Are you guys from the 75th Army sore losers? Damn it, didn't you see those who were killed in action admit defeat?"

On the screen, Tian Xiaohu and the others were taking off their training gear with grim expressions, but they didn't complain at all.

Seeing Zhuang Shisan start arguing and making trouble again, Deputy Lin spoke up: "Shisan, do you want everyone in the directing center to laugh at you?"

Zhuang Shisan hurriedly explained, "Old Lin, didn't you hear what the staff officer just said? He said all my men were killed by headshots! In the dead of night, you can't see anything, how could they fire four shots in such a short time..."

"What's impossible?"

Deputy Lin said irritably, "I think you've been out of touch with the grassroots for too long. You have no idea what level the soldiers' tactical and technical skills have reached now!"

Zhuang Shisan looked aggrieved: "Old Lin, you've wronged me. I only thought it was impossible because I knew about it."

Our army's fastest pistol rapid-fire record in last year's competition was just over a second, but that was target practice, not real combat. Now you're telling me a soldier who's only been in the army for a year is faster than our army's top marksmen?

Lin ignored him and lit a cigarette before sitting down to the side.

Another bigwig laughed: "Zhuang, I don't know about other things, but during the last Queshan exercise, Xu Ge was known as the second fastest marksman in the entire army, hahaha!"

Zhuang Shisan: ? ? ?

"Second in the entire army?"

Zhuang Shisan was completely dumbfounded. He suddenly turned to look at Luo Jian and cursed, "You fucking sent the second-highest rank in the entire army to guard the outpost?"

Luo Jian was also taken aback by what he had just heard. He didn't have time to argue with Zhuang Shisan anymore. He instinctively wanted to take out his phone to call the political work department to find out what was going on, but then he remembered that his phone had been taken away.

"Hey you, get me the personnel files from the Sweetwater Marine Station right now!" Luo Jian said, running up to a staff officer.

"Yes!"

As the other party typed on the keyboard, three files appeared immediately.

Luo Jian and Zhuang Shisan immediately came over.

The Tianshui Marine Station currently has only three personnel: the station chief is Second-Class Sergeant Zhou Qiang, and the two soldiers are Sergeant Cao Dawen and Private Xu Ge.

Luo Jian picked up the mouse and clicked on Xu Ge's name, and a message popped up saying that he did not have permission to view the confidential file.

Luo Jian: ? ? ?
Zhuang Shisan: ? ? ?

"What's going on?" Luo Jian asked.

The staff officer also looked bewildered and said uncertainly, "Chief Luo, perhaps my authority is insufficient."

Luo Jian: "Move aside, I need to use my privileges..."

"Alright, alright!"

A voice rang out; it was Deputy Lin, "Now you know to check people's files? Where were you all this time?"

Luo Jian stopped what he was doing and looked at Vice Chairman Lin: "Elder Lin, it seems you know Xu Ge very well?"

Deputy Lin: "Don't worry about this for now. I'll call Zhang Fengxue after the exercise and ask him about it."

Luo Jian was taken aback: "Xu Ge was actually a member of the Wolf Brigade?"

It's actually quite normal that Luo Jian didn't know about Xu Ge's situation. A private's transfer, especially within the 76th Army, was something he, as a deputy commander, really couldn't possibly know about.

Zhuang Shisan's eyes darted around, and he ran up to Deputy Lin and said, "Old Lin, I want to make a phone call to our fallen flanking company commander."

Deputy Lin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you making a phone call?"

“They are too far from the other units of the 75th Army now. The climate over Sweetwater Sea is harsh. I want to remind them that for safety reasons, there is no need to rush to withdraw.”

"Why don't you just have someone from the directing team say something about this?"

"Old Lin, I'm also part of the directing team. Besides, they must be very upset about the failed operation. As their superior, I should offer them some comfort!"

Deputy Lin felt that Zhuang Shisan's words made some sense, and contacting the fallen soldiers was not a violation of regulations, so he nodded and signaled to the staff to help him make the contact.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

After Zhuang Shisan and others got through on the satellite phone, they immediately went to the side.

"Hello, is this Tian Xiaohu? This is Zhuang Shisan!"

"Hello, Chief!"

Tian Xiaohu's voice on the other end of the phone was clearly excited.

"I've seen your previous operation, and it was very good! Although it failed, your spirit of launching a surprise attack overnight without fear of hardship is commendable. I hope you won't be discouraged!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhuang Shisan was indeed comforting his soldiers, the others stopped paying attention to this scene.

Zhuang Shisan glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him for the time being, quickly asked in a low voice, "Do you know that Xu Ge?"

"Yes, we worked together during the Queshan exercise before."

What do you think of this soldier?

"Amazing! He was the only new recruit warrior in that batch of Wolf Brigade soldiers, and his rapid-fire shooting score broke their regiment's record!"

"Listen to me carefully, use every means possible to recruit him to our 75th Army!"

Tian Xiaohu's voice was hesitant: "Sir, I'm afraid this won't work, will it? Xu Ge probably won't agree..."

Zhuang Shisan cursed, "Are you fucking stupid! Someone like him was thrown into that godforsaken place by the 76th Army. Either he made a mistake or he was neglected. What he needs right now is the warm embrace of our 75th Army!"

Didn't he get two second-class merits? Tell him he's a direct officer once he comes here; I'll send him straight to the special operations brigade as a company commander...

As they were talking, Zhuang Shisan noticed Luo Jian approaching with his hands behind his back. He quickly said into the phone, "That's it. Just agree to whatever conditions he asks for, and say it was my order! This is a command!"

Snapped!
After the phone call ended, Luo Jian arrived at the side.

"Zhuang, what are you doing here, looking all sneaky? You're not cheating on me, are you?"

Luo Jian knew this guy well; as soon as he saw him hiding here making a phone call, he immediately had a bad feeling.
