Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Gao Cheng, who was driving forward, smiled with satisfaction, stepped on the brake, then shifted into reverse, and the car moved backward with a whooshing sound.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied? Feeling better now?" A soft voice sounded beside Gao Cheng.

"Hmm, not bad," Gao Cheng said in a light and cheerful voice, his words sounding rather acceptable.

"Tch, stubborn as a mule," Zhang Anbang said, still leaning back in his chair without moving.

Zhang Anbang's voice wasn't loud, and Gao Cheng didn't hear him clearly. "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, don't call me out on it."

In the short time it took for the two to exchange a few words, the car had already almost returned to its original position.

With a creak, the jeep came to a steady stop next to Ma Xiaoshuai. Gao Cheng smiled at Ma Xiaoshuai and said, "Get in, tough nut to crack."

"Yes, Company Commander," Ma Xiaoshuai replied in a light voice.

Then he picked up the gun that had been lying on the ground, threw the smoke stick on the ground, took a few quick steps, and nimbly climbed into the back seat of the jeep.

"Company commander, I..."

Before Ma Xiaoshuai could finish speaking, a shadow flashed by, and a snapping sound came from his helmet.

Huh? Ma Xiaoshuai was a little confused. What was going on? He hadn't seen the company commander move.

Snapped!

Another sound rang out, followed by a somewhat angry voice, "Smiling Tiger, I'll teach you to be a smiling tiger."

"Ah? Deputy Company Commander, I was wrong, I was wrong, Deputy Company Commander," Ma Xiaoshuai knew who it was and quickly begged for forgiveness.

Snapped!

Another sound, and Ma Xiaoshuai's helmet, which he had just unfastened under his chin strap, was knocked askew.

"Tell me, what the hell does 'smiling tiger' mean, and where did it come from?" Zhang Anbang asked, feigning anger. He knew, of course, that soldiers liked to give each other all sorts of nicknames, whether for comrades or leaders.

But I really didn't expect him to have such a nickname, especially since it was called out to his face.

"Deputy Company Commander, I..." Ma Xiaoshuai's brain was working at lightning speed. He had no idea where this nickname came from.

"Tell me, do you want a star or a cube?" Although Zhang Anbang's current issued belt didn't have stars or cubes on it, he still raised it up.

"Deputy Company Commander, I..." Ma Xiaoshuai quickly put on his helmet while hiding in the corner behind Gao Cheng's driver's seat.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' go talk to my belt," Zhang Anbang said, making a gesture as if to pull it out.

"Bai Tiejun, the deputy company commander, it was Bai Tiejun who said it," Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes lit up, and he quickly gave a name.

"Hmm, really?" Zhang Anbang asked with some doubt. His grandmother's Bai Tiejun had been retired for more than half a year, and he couldn't find anyone to beat him up.

"Hahaha," Gao Cheng, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, Xiao Qi, mind your manners. You're a cadre, pay attention to your image."

Zhang Anbang was just joking with Ma Xiaoshuai. Hearing Gao Cheng's words, he turned around and sat back down, tilting his head to look at Gao Cheng and saying, "Company Commander, you're just gloating, aren't you?"

"No, no, well, stop fooling around, we're on a mission," Gao Cheng said, putting away his smile and adopting a focused expression as he drove and conducted reconnaissance.

……

As it approached 11:30 a.m., Qi Huan, who had been busy picking up many eliminated personnel, finally returned to the camp in a troop transport truck.

Yuan Lang was studying the map on the table, but of course, he wasn't setting up layers of defense to surround and intercept the participants.

They simply marked the points where ambushes had already been conducted and the bait points they had specifically set up.

This 100-kilometer-wide training ground is not in its original state, but has been set up by Yuan Lang and Zhang Anbang with many decoy points, such as some obvious places where supplies can be obtained.

Setting up these bait points serves only one purpose: to eliminate participants who are not yet mentally prepared for the battle.

Of course, if someone is capable enough to escape from an ambush in these locations, then they are quite a character.

"Report, Captain, I'm back!" Qi Huan strode up to Yuan Lang.

"Hmm," Yuan Lang nodded. "Hey, wait a minute, didn't you go out with Deputy Battalion Commander Gao and Zhang Anbang? How come you came back by yourself?"

As he spoke, Yuan Lang tossed a bottle of water over.

Qi Huan took the water, turned it on, and took a big gulp before saying, "Hey, squad leader, I... he left me behind. This son of a general is really arrogant."

"I don't know what's wrong with the deputy squad leader today. He pretended to be dead the whole time, not saying a word. I was organizing the transportation of the eliminated personnel when Deputy Battalion Commander Gao stepped on the gas and drove off with him."

"Haha," Yuan Lang laughed upon hearing this. Of course, he knew how good the relationship was between Zhang Anbang and Gao Cheng. Many of the people who came to participate in the competition today were former members of the Seventh Company of the Steel Company.

Under such a situation of being surrounded and intercepted, Gao Cheng, as their former company commander, must have been extremely unhappy, while Zhang Anbang, as their former deputy and good friend, would probably comfort Gao Cheng.

Yuan Lang understood the situation perfectly.

Vehicles occasionally passed in front of the command camp, kicking up clouds of dust. Yuan Lang pointed to a point on the map and said, "Come here. Aren't you just killing time?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Qi Huan leaned forward.

Yuan Lang pointed to one of the spots, "Go to this location and continue to ambush them. You're sure to get something from here."

Qi Huan looked at the location on the map. "H7, I remember there used to be a water tank here."

"Yes, this is it," Yuan Lang nodded. "You're sure to find something here."

"Yes," Qi Huan nodded, thinking about the arrangements made by the company commander and deputy company commander back then, and couldn't help but sigh that they really knew how to play the game.

Qi Huan put down the bottled water, turned and left, but after taking a few steps, he turned back. "Hey, squad leader, you're going to offend someone again this time."

"Hmm," Yuan Lang replied casually, looking at the location on his military GPS handheld device.

Indeed, the equipment worn by the key personnel they were selecting was slightly different; the smoke-generating simulation equipment they received had added positioning functionality.

Seeing Yuan Lang's nonchalant attitude, Qi Huan gestured with his hand and emphasized, "I mean, you're going to offend someone again this time."

Upon hearing Qi Huan's words, Yuan Lang put down his handheld GPS device, marked a few points on the map with a pencil, and said, "That's it, I can't worry about anything else."

Qi Huan was speechless and prepared to turn around and leave.

After Yuan Lang finished marking the map, he suddenly looked up and said with a grin, "This time, the main person doing the work is your deputy squadron leader, what does it have to do with me?"

Don't worry, with your deputy squadron leader here, you won't offend anyone.

"Uh," Qi Huan was stunned. "This, this, Captain, what you said makes a lot of sense."
