Chapter 69: Escape

  "Monitor, I want to go to the toilet, don't play tricks on me, you can rest assured."

  The sentry heard my request to go to the toilet and skillfully shifted his rifle to his back.

  "I'm telling you now, stop playing tricks on me, or else I won't even be able to take you captive."

  "Alright, I won't play tricks."

  When I saw the class monitor bending down to untie me, I quickly agreed.

  At this time, Hu Xingwei was also making preparations.

  "You..."

  Just as the class monitor discovered that the rope in our hands had no knots at all, Hu Xingrui and I made a move.

  Hu Xingwei broke free from the rope, turned around and quickly circled behind Sergeant Xiao's back, stretching out one hand to tightly grasp his neck and covering his mouth with the other.

  As I saw Hu Xingwei get a hold of him, the sentinel sergeant rushed over. With both hands tightly grasping his two feet, he then lifted with force, and just as the sentinel sergeant fell to the ground, Hu Xingwei and I quickly pressed him firmly to the ground, and while pressing him down, we swiftly tied up the Blue Army sentinel.

  Hu Xingwei's hand was tightly covering the Blue Army sentinel's mouth, not letting him make a sound, while the Blue Army sentinel was also struggling to make a sound, so that his companions outside could discover and come in to help.

  At this time, I couldn't care less if the blue army sentinel in front of me was a sergeant or not. I took off his shoes and pulled down his two socks. Then, using my thumb and index finger to pinch the blue army sentinel's mouth, when Hu Xingrui let go of his hand, I quickly stuffed the socks into his mouth.

  Having done all this, we bound the Blue Army sentinel in the same way to a pole supporting the tent.

  After picking up the gun of the Blue Army sentinel, I removed the Blue Army armband and stuck it on my arm. Then, according to our plan, Hu Xingwei wrapped a rope around his hand, and I grasped the rope, pretending to force Hu Xingwei to go to the toilet.

  As we walked out of the tent, another Blue Army sentry saw us coming out and whispered to us in a low voice: "Li Yongchun, why did it take you so long."

  I pulled down the camouflage hat brim and quickly dragged Hu Xingrui towards the sentry, saying "Sorry, Sergeant, our fault."

  While replying, I and Hu Xingwei quickly rushed towards that blue military sentry.

  That blue-clad sentinel was startled by our sudden appearance and instinctively reached for the whistle hanging from his neck.

  I and Hu Xinwei somehow managed to get him off, our two hands tightly pressing down on the Blue Army sentinel's hand.

  In the darkness, we desperately clutched at the Blue Army sentry.

  "Monitor, you're dead."

  I took off the blue armband from the blue guard's arm and said in a low voice.

  The blue army sentinel, also following the exercise rules, did not struggle but patted the dirt on his body and asked us two: "Good kids, two new recruits actually took down our two old scouts, not bad, who is your squad leader?"

  Zhao Zhijie, Chen Feng.

  I and Hu Xinwei sorted out the captured weapons and equipment while simultaneously answering the Blue Army's slain sentinel squad leader.

  "I had a hunch, I knew it was those two squad leaders who brought the soldiers."

  We didn't answer him, but instead asked: "Monitor, what is the Blue Army's password for tonight?"

  "I am a dead man, and dead men tell no tales."

  "You..."

  Hu Xingwei heard this and was extremely displeased. He wanted to rush forward, but fortunately I stopped him in time.

  After comforting Hu Xinwei, I walked towards the tent where our squad leader was being subdued.

  When I came before the blue army sentinel sergeant who was tied up by us, after taking down the socks in his mouth, I asked: "Sergeant, what is your password tonight?"

  "I don't know."

  Hu Xingwei saw this and his temper flared up again, he snatched the socks from my hands and tried to stuff them into his mouth once more.

  I stopped and shook my head at Hu Xinyin.

  "Old class leader, we won't force you anymore, and the sock will no longer be stuffed into your mouth. However, please remember that this sock was in your mouth, so please follow our rehearsal rules."

  "Let's go, San Dao."

  Hu Xingwei was very unwilling, and complained to me: "Xiao Bin, what are you doing? Have you forgotten how the class monitor treated us before?"

  After listening to Hu Xingwei's complaints, I put my hands on his shoulders and educated him: "Third Blade, you must remember that we are the Red Army, and the Red Army treats its captives with kindness."

  Hu Xingwei pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

  Just as we were about to leave, the monitor of Class Blue spoke up.

  The password is "Red vs Blue".

  "Thank you, class monitor."

  At this moment, I knew that my plan had succeeded.

  Once again out of the tent, I and Hu Xingwei carefully searched for the exit, our movements were very light, very slow, and cautiously moved forward.

  I didn't walk for long before I stopped in my tracks.

  Hu Xingwei saw this and asked me suspiciously: "What's wrong, Xiao Bin?"

  "Third Brother, we can't just leave like this, this is an opportunity, we should take out their reconnaissance company."

  Hu Xingwei was apparently shocked by my words, and he whispered to me: "Xiao Bin, are you looking for death? We barely escaped, we should be grateful that we weren't caught. How is it possible to take down the Blue Army Reconnaissance Company?"

  I patted Hu Xingwei's shoulder and analyzed to him, "Three Knives, think about it. When our reconnaissance company goes out on a mission, how many people will be left in the field company that we're stationed with?"

  "Not many."

  At this time, Hu Xingwei listened to my analysis and suddenly enlightened.

  After we exchanged a smile, we began our operation...

  More than 10 minutes later, we completed our plan and withdrew outside these tents.

  About 5 minutes later, an explosion was heard from the field tent camp where we had stolen a timed explosive device during their exercise.

  "Bang..."

  "Bang bang bang..."

  Not long after, about two squads of personnel rushed out of the tent.

  At this time a lieutenant officer said to his scouts: "It's all over, we've been finished off by those two new soldiers."

  Seeing this scene, I and Hu Xingwei, who was hiding not far away, left here with satisfaction.

  I don't know how other comrades are doing, and I don't know if our mission has been completed or not.

  "Xiao Bin, what's going on now? Our wireless telegraph has been confiscated by the Blue Army. I've looked for it in several places just now, but couldn't find it. How are we supposed to contact Squad Leader and the others?"

  "Hold on, I thought for a moment and said: 'Third Blade, don't rush, our current mission is to find the Blue Army's command center. Without a terminal, we can think of ways to get the Blue Army's signal gun. Once our Red Army sees the signal shell we fire, they'll definitely know this is the Blue Army's command center.'"

  "Alright, let's just do it then."

  "Let's go. Move forward, the Blue Army Scout Regiment is out on a mission and if they find out that their people have been killed, they'll definitely come after us like crazy."

  "How did you know?" Hu Xingwei asked me, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.

  I walked away in a huff and said, "If they demolished your house, how would you feel?"

  "I'm definitely going to get them killed."

  Hu Xingwei finished speaking, and the misplaced tendon finally recovered. He shouted loudly at me: "What are you waiting for? Run quickly, Xiao Bin! Ah, Comrade Xiao, wait for me!"
