Chapter Thirteen: The Desert Fox Squad

  Wearing the standard uniform of the Special Warfare Brigade, with a black beret on his head and the Lightning Sword emblem on his sleeve, Xie Xiaoshuai's emotions were somewhat excited. He had finally achieved his dream of becoming a special forces soldier. Years of preparation had finally come in handy, and Xie Xiaoshuai was eager to show off his skills.

  Ren Tianqi held a grand welcoming ceremony for the new recruits. Under Ren Tianqi's moving speech, the new recruits firmly remembered one sentence in their hearts: Protect the family and defend the country, fight bravely and kill the enemy.

  Xie Xiaoshuai, Chen Hongjun, Wang Jizhen, Zhang Jialin, Yin Zhilin, Li Gang and Gong Mao were gathered together. Xie Xiaoshuai seemed to understand something at this time, and the speculation in the selection camp was confirmed.

  "Comrades, I'm sure you're all curious why I've called you here. Isn't it a bit strange that everyone else has been assigned to units, but not you?" Ren Tianqi's expression was serious.

  "Yes, Comrade Captain, why is this?" Xie Xiaoshuai replied.

  "Because there are even more difficult tasks waiting for you to complete, the difficulty of which is beyond your imagination, but at the same time it is also a test for you by the country and the army. Comrades, do you have confidence in completing them?"

  "Yes." Several people replied loudly.

  "Alright, your morale is high, seeing your spirit has reassured me. Next, I will announce the orders." Ren Tianqi took out the documents from the file folder.

  "Comrades, with the progress of society and the development of technology, all special warfare branches of the military have begun to strengthen the professional skills of their personnel, digitizing, modernizing, and specializing. This is the trend of contemporary military development. After research and decision by the Military Region Party Committee, our brigade was ordered to establish a pilot unit that can complete any form of combat mission at any time and in any location. And this task has been assigned to you, your team's name will be: Sha Hu." Ren Tianqi closed the folder in his hand.

  "Comrades, the leaders of the military region are paying great attention to this matter. Their eyes will be on us at all times. This is a very arduous and glorious task, as well as a test for us. We have no experience in this regard, we need to explore and move forward, but I have confidence in you, I believe you won't let me down."

  "Endure hardship, and bravely kill the enemy." Several people shouted slogans.

  "Hmm. The Desert Fox Squad will be led by Lei Wei as the instructor, with Xie Xiaoshuai as the deputy captain. Since there is no suitable candidate for the captain position at present, Xie Xiaoshuai will temporarily take charge of the Desert Fox Squad's work. As Lei Wei is also the captain of the Viper Strike Team, he usually focuses his energy on his own team, so Xie Xiaoshuai, you need to put in more effort. Your experience is still a bit lacking, but I think you'll make others believe in you." Ren Tianqi announced the appointment.

  "But Captain, if Lei Wei doesn't join our squad, we'll still be one person short." Xie Xiao Shuai spoke up.

  "We also know about this situation, what requirements you have just mention." Ren Tianqi said.

  "Lacking a tactical medic and sniper spotter. Best if they know some traditional Chinese medicine, because if we get injured during outdoor training and there's not enough medicine, we can use herbal remedies to solve the problem." Xie Xiaoshuai thought for a moment before responding seriously.

  "Alright, I'll have someone come find you tomorrow to report. Thanks, Xiao Shuai, you'd better quickly get into the captain's state, many eyes are watching you guys. I'm giving you two days' time, you arrange the personnel's post configuration and future training plan in written form and report back to me. Nothing else, dismissed." Ren Tian Qi dismissed the team.

  After returning to the dormitory, Xie Xiaoshuai talked to each person individually and had a good understanding of everyone's abilities. After a day of careful consideration, Xie Xiaoshuai organized the materials and reported them to the team leader Ren Tianqi.

  Xie Xiaoshuai arranged his team members' combat positions as follows:

  Xie Xiaoshuai, Yin Zhilin: Commando team. Issue combat orders to the squad and provide firepower support to teammates at any time.

  Chen Hongjun and Zhang Jialin: Assault team. Zhang Jialin was in charge of reconnaissance, Chen Hongjun was responsible for mine clearance and opening up a path, clearing obstacles for his teammates to advance.

  Wang Jizhen and Tactical Doctor, who is about to report: Sniper Team. Wang Jizhen serves as the main sniper, while Tactical Doctor serves as the secondary sniper and spotter.

  Gong Mao, Li Gang: Support Group. Not only to provide powerful firepower support for teammates, but also to be able to provide support for teammates in any situation.

  And their training plan, Xie Xiaoshuai also made a detailed schedule for each person's position division, requiring team members to conduct strengthening training while not delaying daily training.

  Chen Hongjun: Every day, 500 times of grenade throwing training. The requirement is to randomly place ten spittoons within a range of 30-40 meters, and the hand grenades must be thrown into the spittoons. At night, study the structure of various bombs, landmines, and their dismantling methods.

  Zhang Jialin: Learn to use various ground guidance devices and reconnaissance equipment, whether military or civilian, require proficient use.

  Wang Jizhen: Exchanging training with deputy shooters, in specific situations can switch roles.

  Gong Mao, Li Gang: Learn various military transportation tools while strengthening their own domain's advantageous skills.

  Ying Zhilin: Strengthen learning of electronic products, can make various task-required electronic tools by oneself.

  Ren Tianqi is very satisfied with Xie Xiaoshuai's efficiency, and at the same time affirms Xie Xiaoshuai's ability as a squad leader. Without any prior learning of platoon tactics command, he can put everyone's strengths in suitable positions and strengthen training for each person's weaknesses, which is not an easy task.

  The next day, the tactical doctor came to report. It was actually an acquaintance: Cauliflower Snake. That slender and agile lieutenant, one of their instructors in Devil's Camp.

  The cauliflower snake was also very depressed, and was actually assigned to be a tactical doctor and sniper observer under the new team member he had trained himself. The most ridiculous thing was that his captain wasn't even an officer, but a private, the lowest rank in the army. It's not even this exaggerated in movies.

  Xie Xiaoshuai still showed great respect for this old comrade and did not retaliate against him because of the Devil Training Camp incident, that was his job responsibility.

  Xie Xiao Shuai and his team also gave themselves code names, each with a snake character, which is an unwritten rule for special forces teams.

  Xie Xiaoshuai: Red Practiced Snake.

  Chen Hongjun: Exploding snake.

  Zhang Jialin: Jumping Snake.

  Ying Zhilin: Electric Snake.

  Wang Jizhen: Black Snake in the Dark.

  Gong Mao: Winged Snake.

  Lee Gang: Iron Armor Snake.

  Several people's code names are normal except for Xie Xiaoshuai's, the others are stranger than one another, highlighting young people's bold thinking.

  Next, several people began training according to Xie Xiaoshuai's training plan. Except for the time spent eating and sleeping, everything else was left for training.

  Their squad has been tempered and they all trust each other, able to leave their backs safe with their brothers.

  The cauliflower snake was also convinced by Captain Xie Xiaoshuai, this lieutenant colonel's command of the squad, personnel allocation, and battle strategy formulation were all very clever, how could a lieutenant have such abilities? This is simply an old special forces veteran with many years of rich experience.

  After a series of special warfare training, they are now familiar with the use of various weapons and can go to the sky, dive into the sea, and have footprints in deserts, jungles, mountains, skies, and underwater. To say that their individual military quality is that any one of them can be a decathlon champion. At the same time, their special warfare skills have also surpassed most of the old team members, becoming a new star, always ready to be sent out to become an excellent special forces soldier who can penetrate deep into enemy lines.
