Chasing the Light

Chapter 66: Die standing

Views:

Chen Tao and Su Ran exchanged glances, and they raised their guns in tacit understanding.

Bang... Bang...

Two soldiers who were about to return to the cave were shot. They put down their guns with deathly pale faces, felt that they had become victims, and sat down where they were.

Su Ran and Chen Tao jumped out and prepared to rush into the cave. According to their judgment, there would not be many troops in the cave.

However, just before they arrived at the cave, a bullet flew in from the woods. Su Ran pushed Chen Tao away and was shot herself.

Su Ran stood still, using her gun as a crutch to block the enemy's sight of Chen Tao, and several more bullets hit Su Ran.

Although it was a blank bullet, it still hurt when it hit a person. Su Ran's face changed due to the pain, but she still didn't move.

Chen Tao looked at Su Ran with mixed feelings, then turned and rushed into the cave.

"Don't move, you are captured."

In the headquarters, everyone was waiting for an expected result with dull interest.

At this time, information came from the Red Army Command.

"I am a soldier of the Blue Team, and I have captured the Supreme Commander of the Red Team."

What? The Red Commander was captured

The general headquarters was in an uproar.

Captain Sun walked over quickly and picked up the intercom: "Which company are you from? What's your name?"

"Report, I am Chen Tao, a student in the second company's recruit class."

When Li Wei and Yang Fan heard that it was Chen Tao, they high-fived excitedly.

Oh my god? The Red Army headquarters let the recruits take it down

Captain Sun should have felt ashamed, but he was excited: "Didn't your Second Company get wiped out?"

"No, the second company commander refused to take our recruit class to play, so we had to act on our own." Chen Tao was a vengeful person, so he took the opportunity to report the second company commander.

Captain Sun turned his head and glanced at the second company commander who had withdrawn from the battle early and was covered in dust.

The second company commander was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"Well done, young man. All of you recruits in this class do a great job." Captain Sun praised.

At this time, the blue command also sent a message.

"Report to the regiment commander, the blue team's command center has been taken down by our red team." The commander of the fifth company said excitedly on the intercom.

Captain Sun said unhappily, "It's too late. Your Red Team's top commander was captured by the Blue Team's soldiers two minutes ago."

An hour later, the company commanders gathered in the conference room, along with the trainees from the recruit class, as well as Li Wei and Yang Fan.

Compared with the dejected company commanders, the recruits in the new recruit class all held their heads high and had cheerful faces. This was a very proud time for them.

With a gloomy face, Captain Sun began to criticize the company commanders of the red and blue sides, especially the second company of the blue side, which had advanced too recklessly and caused the blue side to fall into a dilemma at the beginning of the exercise. The second company commander was scolded the most harshly by Captain Sun, and he lowered his head and did not dare to make a word of defense.

Then Captain Sun pointed at Captain Lu of the Sixth Company and scolded him for being stubborn and not using his brain in battle, but just fighting brute force against the enemy.

Captain Lu weakly defended himself: "I thought the Seventh Company fought so hard even though they stopped us. The Red Army headquarters must be ahead."

Regimental Commander Sun was furious and pointed at Captain Lu and cursed: "How dare you say that? Your reconnaissance company is the elite of the entire regiment, but you were held up by the Seventh Company for more than an hour and still couldn't take it down. As a captain of the reconnaissance company, what do you do for a living?"

Captain Lu didn't dare to say a word.

"And you." Captain Sun pointed at the commanders of the third and fifth companies of the Red Army.

"Two companies of soldiers besieged the blue team's headquarters, but they failed to capture it after a long time. Instead, a few soldiers from the blue team's recruit squad took down the headquarters first. In one word, they are cowards."

Although the two company commanders had complaints in their hearts, they learned the lesson from Captain Lu and did not dare to argue.

The Blue Force's headquarters relied on its geographical advantage, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was already very good that they could capture it.

"As the highest commander of the Red Team, the Captain of the Seventh Company played a trick of hiding the truth from the public. He had some ideas, but he was too arrogant and didn't even notice when someone approached his doorstep." Captain Sun was extremely depressed. The location chosen by the Captain of the Seventh Company could have been the only highlight of this exercise, but he was not cautious enough and was taken down by the enemy, and there were only two of them.

The captain of the seventh company said gloomily, "They are just a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

"Yes, you are that dead rat." Captain Sun cursed.

"Report, we are not blind cats, we are acting with a purpose." Shen Yifeng said loudly.

Everyone didn't believe it. You recruits have only been soldiers for a few days. How many exercises have you participated in? These veterans didn't expect that the captain of the seventh company was so cunning and played a trick under the lamp. How could you do that

The captain of the seventh company retorted: "Didn't the two soldiers you captured say that you went there only because you thought it was safe?"

Everyone laughed, this is very possible.

Captain Sun asked, "Tell me, how did you figure out that the Red Army headquarters would be there?"

"Report, first of all, Deng Zian and Qi Lei said that to confuse the enemy. That was their wit. Comrade Su Ran analyzed the battle situation at the time and his understanding of the captain of the Seventh Company and concluded that the captain of the Seventh Company was likely to play tricks. Of course, we are not 100% sure, but it is worth a try, so we went over."

Qi Lei and Deng Zian straightened their backs even more. Brother Feng's words were very pertinent.

Captain Sun looked at Su Ran meaningfully: "Have you also done homework on the captain of the seventh company?"

Su Ran said: "Report, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Be prepared before the battle, no matter how big or small, so that you can be prepared for any eventuality."

Captain Sun's eyes showed admiration. This Su Ran was really a good soldier.

"Listen, the students in the new recruit class all have such awareness, but what about you? Don't you feel ashamed?" Captain Sun turned around and saw his soldiers and became angry again.

"Report, I have objections to the result this time. At that time, the soldiers I arranged on the other side of the river discovered that Chen Tao and Su Ran raided the headquarters. They could have killed both of them, but Su Ran stood there after being shot and blocked the bullet aimed at Chen Tao. Otherwise, our Red Army headquarters would not have been destroyed." The captain of the seventh company protested.

Isn't this cheating

"Report, I was shot, but I used the gun as a crutch. I would rather die standing up, and block the bullets shot at my comrades. Isn't that possible? In the war movies, those flag bearers would keep the red flag flying even if they died. They rushed forward to block the sight of their comrades, and even if they were shot into sieves, they still stood in front of the machine gun. Are these all fictional? We can't underestimate the will of the soldiers. The soldiers have lofty beliefs, and they can do everything impossible for this belief." Su Ran said in a resounding voice.

There was silence in the conference room for a long time. Then Captain Sun led the applause, and the sparse applause gradually became warmer.

Although both the red and blue parties lost face this time, Su Ran's words made them admire her from the bottom of their hearts.

This was the first time that Chen Tao sincerely applauded Su Ran, and the first time that he questioned something he was sure of.

Would Su Ran, such a person, really be so shameless as to have affairs with multiple directors and destroy other people's families

Captain Sun concluded: "We did gain something from this exercise. The biggest gain is that it made us realize our own shortcomings. Being arrogant and underestimating the enemy, those little people we looked down upon, often become the key to our failure. All members of the recruit class should be commended for this exercise, especially Su Ran and Chen Tao."

Han Dong, who was far away in Shengzhou, got the results of the exercise first. Knowing that Su Ran had made great contributions and refuted them righteously, all the company commanders had to admit defeat. Han Dong smiled knowingly.
