Chapter 17: Unfair Competition 2

  "What's going on?" Everyone couldn't help but want to know.

  Lian Chang slowly said: "We're going to have a competition."

  "With whom? Where? How?" Lei couldn't help but shout loudly.

  He glanced at Lei, then held up his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. He spoke slowly: "First, let me tell you about our equipment. Each of us has only one rifle and fifty rounds of blank ammunition, plus a map and two packets of compressed biscuits. Our opponents are an enhanced battalion with ten times our numbers. Although they're called an enhanced battalion, apart from the platoon leader and commanders, all the others are new recruits who enlisted this year, just like you. You don't need to be afraid of them; apart from having various weapons and more people than us, there's nothing special about them. We must take out their command center within three days!" He looked around at everyone, then suddenly raised his voice: "Does anyone have confidence in taking them down?"

  "Yes!" A simple word, yet everyone shouted so loudly that the snow on the trees fell off. It can be said that their training method was almost abnormal, cultivating a spirit that feared neither hardship nor death. The more they faced difficulties, the more they felt an abnormal excitement in their hearts.

  The company commander smiled slightly, and a rifle with fifty rounds of ammunition, plus a map and two packets of compressed biscuits were quickly distributed to each person. The company commander took out the map and pointed to one of the blocks, saying: "This is our destination, it's 80 kilometers away from here, and its name is Chicken Nest Mountain. It's called Chicken Nest Mountain because it's like a chicken coop, with four sides rising high and the middle sinking in, making it an easy place to defend but hard to attack. Our mission is to break through the difficulties and destroy his old nest." The company commander pointed to the left, right, and bottom of the map, saying: "We will be divided into three small teams, attacking from the east, south, and west directions respectively. The attack time will start at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Because we are outnumbered, we will use guerrilla tactics to break through individually. The eastern and western teams will mainly be responsible for drawing away the enemy's firepower, while the southern team will directly attack the enemy's old nest." After finishing speaking, the company commander looked at everyone seriously and said: "This time, our mission is only allowed to succeed, not fail. If something unexpected happens, even if there is only one person left, you must still destroy the enemy's old nest! Do you all understand?"

  "Understood! Even if we're left with just one person, we'll still take down the other's old nest! Let's go!" Everyone shouted in unison.

  At this time, Zhang Nan suddenly shouted: "Report! I have a question!"

  "Speak!" Lian Zhang said in a deep voice.

  Zhang Nan looked around at the people and asked with a slightly red face: "I'd like to ask, if we sacrifice ourselves or are captured by the enemy, what should we do?"

  "Then just go and die!", Lian Zhang shouted, then glanced at the others with a faint smile: "Bing Mao's question is very good. If you're injured or fall into the enemy's hands for some reason, don't worry, they'll treat you well and feed you well, just enjoy it there." He said this, then called out very seriously: "But! Whoever betrays us and reveals our whereabouts will be sorry I didn't warn him first!"

  Zhang Nan shuddered and sat back, thinking to himself: "It's been so long, why are they still calling me Sick Cat? It was just that one time when I first arrived and fainted. This nickname seems like it's going to follow me for the rest of my life." Although Lian Chang didn't say what would happen if someone became a traitor, everyone knew the terrifying consequences. Just the gossip from others was enough to make a traitor suffer.

  Lian Chang saw Zhang Nan sit back and loudly shouted to the others: "Are there any other questions? If you have, ask quickly, don't wait until we get there and have a bunch of questions!"

  Li Yuan stood up at this time, and sneered: "Lian Chang, I want to ask what is considered to be the elimination of the opponent's old nest?", saying so, he used his hand to draw a line on his own neck: "Is it like this to wipe them all out?"

  "Damn it!" Captain Lian cursed, kicking a flying foot towards Li Yuan, but this kick only stopped in front of Li Yuan. After withdrawing his foot, Captain Lian shouted to everyone: "Remember, this time is just a drill, don't really cause too much harm to the other side, as long as you can survive to the other side's command center, then this competition counts as our win!"

  "Hey." Li Yuan listened and patted his chest disdainfully, saying: "I'm telling you, Lian Chang, I thought it was such a difficult thing, but it turns out that just going to the other side's command center is enough, it's just that simple, one person can handle it."

  He furrowed his brow and stared at Li Yuan, saying coldly: "Hand it over to you alone? If I find out that you're the first one to fall, just wait and see if I don't flay your skin when I get back."

  Li Yuan looked at Lian Chang's icy gaze and hastily waved his hand, calling out: "Lian, Commander Lian, you act as if I didn't say anything just now." After that, he sat back down.

  Lian Chang saw the commotion and had enough, so he turned around and asked: "Who else has a question?"

  "It's gone, it's gone." Everyone shouted one after another.

  Lian Chang shouted loudly at this time: "Then I'll add one last question, if anyone is left behind at that time, he can solve the problem with his own will. Did you hear clearly?"

  "Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison again.

  After making sure everyone understood the task, Lian Chang took them to the dining hall for a farewell feast before departure. As soon as they entered the dining hall, Zhang Nan's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "My god! Am I dreaming? Zhang Biao, pinch me!", saying this, he pulled Zhang Biao's arm. It was no wonder that Zhang Nan would ask such a question, since Lian Chang had been strictly controlling their diet since they arrived here, usually only eating mantou (steamed buns) and salted vegetables, but now the table was filled with all kinds of meat: chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef.

  "Ah!" Zhang Nan suddenly covered his butt and yelled loudly. He turned around and angrily shouted: "What are you doing?!"

  Zhang quickly ran to Lei's side and hid behind him, laughing softly: "This can't be blamed on me, you asked me to hit you."

  Zhang Nan saw that he was in the wrong and could only softly shout: "Damn it, you don't have to use so much force!", after finishing speaking, he sat down at the dinner table.
