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

Chapter 241 Iron Will.

Xu Ge finally managed to shake off Tian Xiaohu's entanglement. After taking a few blankets from the storeroom, he took Baihu back to the dormitory to prepare for sleep.

As soon as he entered, Zhou Qiang was leaning against the bed looking at him: "Is your phone on silent?"

"How did you know, station manager? Did you just call me?"

As Xu Ge spoke, he took out his phone and saw several missed calls, all from Guo Yuanshuai. He immediately called them back.

"Hey, Gobo?"

A familiar voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

Xu Ge's nose stung with tears: "Deputy Squad Leader!"

"I heard from Lao Zhou that you've woken up?" Guo Yuanshuai asked cautiously.

Xu Ge: "Yeah, squad leader, I'm all better! I even went to see Kaiyoumu this afternoon and chatted with him for a while."

"Good boy! You scared the class monitor to death!"

Hearing Xu Ge calmly say Kaiyoumu's name, Guo Yuanshuai breathed a long sigh of relief, which meant that he was really cured!

"Ge Bao, do the 75th Army want you to go to their side?" Guo Yuanshuai asked directly.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence. I happened to run into Company Commander Tian from the infiltration company."

"Do you want to go?"

Xu Ge didn't hesitate: "No way! All my comrades are here!"

"Hahaha! I heard they want you to be a company commander!" Guo Yuanshuai laughed heartily.

Xu Ge pursed his lips: "Later they said he'd become a battalion commander within five years."

Zhou Qiang, who was standing to the side, was shocked. He silently counted on his fingers and exclaimed, "Good heavens, a 24-year-old battalion commander?!"
"By the way, squad leader, I'm completely recovered now. When are you being transferred back?" Xu Ge asked.

Guo Yuanshuai immediately replied, "Don't worry, it's a bit late now. I'll ask for you first thing tomorrow morning, but we're in the middle of an exercise, so it might not be that quick."

"It's alright, squad leader, I'm not in a hurry!"

"Okay, go to sleep early. The squad leader will come to see you later."

"it is good!"

Xu Ge hung up the phone, in a good mood, and smiled as he handed Zhou Qiang a cigarette and lit it for him.

Zhou Qiang laughed too: "A tiger should go up the mountain, a dragon should go down to the sea. You're just not suited to stay in logistics! I'll call Xiao Cao back tomorrow."

"Station Chief, don't worry. Even if the transfer order comes down, I'll stay until after the New Year." Xu Ge helped Zhou Qiang put an ashtray on the stool by the bed.

Zhou Qiang was taken aback: "Why?"

Xu Ge: "Station Chief, how many years has it been since you went home for the Spring Festival? You can go back this year without worry, I'll keep watch for you on the mountain!"

Zhou Qiang was both moved and sighed: "Xiao Xu, you... I..."

"Stationmaster, it's getting late, time to go to sleep!"

"Okay, okay, I'll turn off the lights!"

"No need, just let Baihu Pass handle it."

"Woof!"

Snapped!
The white tiger rushed to the door, leaped high, swatted out the light with one paw, and then jumped back onto Xu Ge's bed.

The dormitory quieted down, and Zhou Qiang and Xu Ge quickly fell asleep, while Bai Hu also started snoring.

. . .

. . .

Around 1:30 a.m., the white tiger suddenly opened its eyes in the darkness.

Its ears stood up high, and after listening carefully for a while, it seemed to have confirmed something. It immediately climbed to the head of the bed and gently patted Xu Ge's face with its paw.

Xu Ge sat up abruptly and looked at Bai Hu, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The white tiger remained silent, its head turned towards the back of the outpost, its ears still perked up.

Xu Ge immediately knew what it had heard, and like the white tiger, he turned his ears in that direction.

buzz~
A slight rumbling sound reached my ears.

After listening for a while, the roaring sound grew louder, indicating that it was coming from this direction.

Xu Ge immediately got dressed and got out of bed, the noise waking Zhou Qiang.

"Xiao Xu, where are you going so late?" Zhou Qiang asked as he saw Xu Ge wrapped in his coat and getting ready to go out.

"Station chief, I'm going to check the back of our outpost."

"Behind the military post? That's all wasteland, what's there to see?"

Xu Ge: That's why I found it strange, because I heard what sounded like a convoy coming!

Boom boom boom!
As the two spoke, the roaring sound became even clearer, and this time even Zhou Qiang could hear it.

Zhou Qiang snapped on the light and started getting dressed with a puzzled look on his face: "What kind of convoy would be heading out into the wilderness so late at night? Come on, I'll go with you to see what's going on!"

"it is good!"

The two men came out with flashlights, and the commotion on the wasteland grew even louder, with the entire military post courtyard trembling slightly.

"Woof!"

The white tiger let out a somewhat uneasy cry.

Tian Xiaohu and his four companions also came out from the doorway.

"What are you two up to?" Tian Xiaohu asked Xu Ge.

Xu Ge pointed behind him: "I'll go see what's going on over there."

Tian Xiaohu glanced at his watch, his expression complicated: "What else could it be at this hour? It must be the arrival of your 76th Army's two mobile brigades."

"A mobile brigade?" Xu Ge was somewhat surprised. "Then I definitely need to go and see it!"

Zhou Qiang quickly followed, saying, "I'll go take a look too!"

Tian Xiaohu laughed: "Okay, let's go together. I'll also take the opportunity to see the equipment of your 76th Army."

Seven people and one dog came out from the main gate and circled around the wall to the back of the outpost.

Rumble!
Under the moonlight, an endless wasteland stretched out before them. On the horizon, an enormous, imaginary dust dragon was rapidly approaching, skimming along the Karakoram Mountains. The scene was breathtaking, unforgettable at first glance.

The group walked a little further, and as the convoy got closer, some details gradually came into view.

Hundreds of light armored vehicles led the way, followed by countless self-propelled artillery pieces, self-propelled howitzers, and heavy tanks.

Woo!
Suddenly, an unmanned reconnaissance shuttle appeared in front of the seven people. Xu Ge didn't even realize where it came from. He had only just heard the noise when the drone arrived. It was incredibly fast!

The drone began to circle around the seven people, who waved to each other.

Woo!
With another sharp whooshing sound, the drone flew away in an instant.

This time, Xu Ge was prepared. He kept his eyes locked on the drone and discovered that it had actually crawled directly into the first infantry vehicle.

The deafening roar of engines vibrated everyone's eardrums, and countless vehicles of all kinds drove past in front of them with an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the armored vehicles in front of them.

Xu Ge, with his sharp eyes, noticed that each vehicle had a lot of unfamiliar equipment on it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they say it's two reinforced mobile brigades, but this is almost bigger than a combined arms division... Damn! Your 76th Army has also achieved full-scale human-machine interaction?!"

Tian Xiaohu, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in alarm, "Our 75th Army is in danger now!"

Knowing that Tian Xiaohu recognized the equipment, Zhou Qiang hurriedly said, "Company Commander Tian, ​​can you explain this to me? I've been a soldier for decades, but I've always been in logistics. I don't recognize or understand anything on those vehicles!"

"Station Chief Zhou, it's normal that you don't recognize them. A lot of the equipment here hasn't been publicly displayed yet!" Tian Xiaohu said with a smile.

He could understand Zhou Qiang; what Chinese soldier wouldn't be curious about the equipment of his own army?

If it weren't for this exercise, he wouldn't have had the chance to see many of the new types of equipment.

"Look at those wheeled vehicles in front, those are amphibious armored assault vehicles, extremely mobile! Behind them are Type 99B and Type 100 tanks and support vehicles! This support vehicle is something else, it comes equipped with a long-range strike system..."

Zhou Qiang asked in confusion, "Company Commander Tian, ​​isn't it Type 99A? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"No, 99B is a new generation!"

Tian Xiaohu continued his explanation, "Do you see those square boxes on those vehicles? Those are phased array radars. The ones that can rotate on top are laser probes, which can cover the surrounding area in all directions. And do you see the glasses those soldiers are wearing? They are all synchronized in real time!"

"Look at that gun emplacement, doesn't it move? Wherever the person looks, the cannon fires. This combined with drones is incredibly powerful!"

What are those outer layers of railings?

"Oh, that's a self-defense system. It's quite old equipment; it can defend against and intercept attacks from any direction!"

"What about those big mirrors in the back?"

"Those are laser weapons and unmanned turrets, also equipped with four-sided array radar..."

As Tian Xiaohu explained, Zhou Qiang and Xu Ge kept turning their heads left and right, looking at one armored vehicle after another.

This was the first time Xu Ge had ever seen such a large-scale armored force marching. What shocked him the most was that they didn't take the road, but instead walked on the barren land at an altitude of over 5000 meters as if it were flat ground!
Furthermore, they were able to maintain a neat formation from beginning to end!

Is this what Tian Xiaohu meant by comprehensive human-machine interaction?
Looking at the mighty waves surging in the darkness, Xu Ge had a sudden thought: In the face of such an army, I'm afraid no one would have the slightest thought of resistance.
Immediately afterwards, a longing arose in my heart.

I wonder what it's like to command a force like that? It must be incredibly exhilarating!
After an unknown amount of time, the roaring sound gradually faded away, and the trembling wasteland gradually returned to silence.

The seven people and one dog remained standing there, still in shock.

Zhou Qiang let out a long sigh and said quietly, "Decades ago, when our forefathers faced the enemy's iron torrent, their only reliance was their own iron will... Who would have thought that we would now have our own iron torrent!"

"Station Chief Zhou, you're mistaken!"

Tian Xiaohu laughed and said, "Now it's intelligent and information-based, our steel torrent has its own will! Hahaha!"

. . .

. . .

The next morning, while the Tianshuihai military post was still quiet, a military vehicle turned off the national highway and arrived at the post's main gate.

Old Wang didn't honk the horn immediately; instead, he answered the phone while still in his car.

"Hey, squad leader, I've arrived."

"I have something to tell you first. I contacted the brigade commander early this morning, but he said that the political work department of the army is unwilling to issue a transfer order now..."

"I don't know what's going on either! Squad leader, don't panic. The brigade commander said he would contact headquarters as soon as the exercise is over. Damn it, Xu Ge was originally one of our Wolf Brigade members. What's the point of them detaining him like this?"

"Ok, I know!"

"What am I doing here? Of course, I'm here to drive away those bastards from the 75th Army. I can't let them whisper in Xu Ge's ear every day, can I?"

After hanging up the phone, Lao Wang immediately started honking the horn frantically.

Beep be ...
"Wang Wang Wang!"

Baihu was the first to rush out of the door, roaring angrily at the car with a hostile expression.

A moment later, Xu Ge emerged, wearing a military overcoat and frowning. He paused for a moment when he saw Old Wang in the car, now wearing an eye patch and looking like a one-eyed man. However, instead of asking why the other man only had one eye, he said irritably:

"What are you doing here?"

"No, what time is it? Why aren't you up yet?"

Old Wang immediately launched into a tirade, "Have you forgotten what it means to be a soldier after spending a few months in logistics...?"

"Is it any of your business?" Xu Ge's words shut Old Wang up.

Old Wang, his face dark, said, "Open the door right now!"

Xu Ge: "Tell me first what you're here for."

Old Wang: "Go and wake up Tian Xiaohu and his gang, tell them to come with me, and stop them from hanging around here!"

Xu Ge was somewhat surprised. To be honest, when he saw Lao Wang, he thought that the other party had come to pick him up, but he didn't expect that the other party would not mention this matter.

"And what about me?" Xu Ge asked directly.

Old Wang's face turned unnatural: "Damn it, I don't know what's going on, the army doesn't want to release him!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"What do you mean? What do you mean the military doesn't want to release him?" Xu Ge was also confused. "You want me to stay at the Sweetwater Marine Station?"

Old Wang: "The brigade commander called the political work department early this morning, saying he wanted to transfer you back, but they said that Deputy Luo had spoken, and any personnel transfer in the future must be approved by him."

"and then?"

"Then Vice President Luo found out, but disagreed."

Xu Ge was amused and exasperated: "If that's the case, then I'll go and become a battalion commander in the 75th Army!"
