Chapter 0091: Provoking the Divisional Reconnaissance Battalion
"Company Commander, shouldn't you look like a prisoner?" Zheng Yingqi said aggrievedly—just now, he had come to Gao Cheng's side with the air of a victor, just like a villain in a movie. After all, his own company commander was being held at gunpoint by five men, while he had swaggered over, just like the entrance of a major villain in a movie.
The next moment, Gao Cheng kicked, just like he did in the 7th Company, while saying:
"I'll teach you to ambush me, you little brat! I'll teach you to ambush me, you little brat!"
Gao Cheng was both happy and frustrated. He was happy because the soldiers he had trained were top-notch and they had even managed to ambush a big fish in a desperate situation. But he was frustrated because he was the big fish.
"Enough nonsense—the People's Liberation Army treats prisoners of war well!" Gao Cheng said sullenly.
Zheng Yingqi chuckled and waved his hand, "Brothers, get ready! We're now the Division Reconnaissance Battalion!"
With the reconnaissance battalion's vehicle, once they drop their backpacks, they become the "real" reconnaissance battalion members—that much is beyond question.
Gao Cheng looked at the smug Zheng Yingqi and wanted to kick him again, but he managed to suppress the urge and said in a muffled voice, "Tell me, how are you going to deal with me, this prisoner—damn it, you brought out two of your best soldiers, one almost suffocated me to death, and the other ruined my lifelong reputation!"
Resentment—how could he not be resentful? Back when he was practicing capturing prisoners, Xu Sanduo almost killed him, and now he's been captured alive by Zheng Yingqi—after being the company commander of a recruit company, the two best people he trained have turned on him!
If that damned Yuan Lang knew, he'd probably accuse me of going easy on him!
"Let me make this clear first, don't expect me to reveal anything to you, and don't expect me to cooperate with you—that's impossible!" Gao Cheng said with his eyes closed.
Ma Xiaoshuai nudged Zheng Yingqi quietly: "Squad leader, you wouldn't force the company commander, would you?"
Zheng Yingqi scoffed. If it were a real war, his company commander wouldn't be under such a threat, let alone an exercise—oh no, this isn't even an exercise!
"Company Commander, let me tell you, we're enemies now. We can't hold a grudge after something like this happens," Zheng Yingqi said cautiously to Gao Cheng.
"I don't hold grudges," Gao Cheng said sullenly.
"We won't give them a hard time—we absolutely refuse to give them a hard time," Zheng Yingqi said again.
Ma Xiaoshuai and the others looked at Zheng Yingqi strangely, feeling that Zheng Yingqi was acting strangely. Gao Cheng also thought that Zheng Yingqi had captured him alive, and he was worried and scared—was he that kind of person? Besides, there were so many units between them now, so they couldn't possibly make things difficult for him!
Just then, Zheng Yingqi's tone changed abruptly. One moment she sounded like a pitiful new bride, the next she was like a domineering mother-in-law: "Tie her up!"
Ma Xiaoshuai, Meng Kai, and Wang Hui were completely bewildered, not quite understanding what was happening yet.
Gao Cheng suddenly remembered something—during last year's mountain exercise, this was exactly what happened: Yuan Lang was kidnapped.
"I... Zheng Yingqi... I'm telling you... you..." Gao Cheng panicked a little. If he were tied up, where would he put his face?
"What are you standing there for? Tie him up and gag him!" Zheng Yingqi glared at the group. Ma Xiaoshuai would never dare to lay a hand on them, but Meng Kai and Wang Hui had no such scruples and pounced on them. Gao Cheng tried to resist—but then the others rushed up and were pinned down and tied up.
Gao Cheng wanted to curse, but his mouth was immediately stuffed shut. Fortunately, these bastards didn't just grab a handful of grass and shove it in; at least they saved him some face.
"Squad leader..." Ma Xiaoshuai swallowed hard, his face a mixture of admiration and fear—this guy could actually display both expressions simultaneously, he was quite something: "Isn't this going a bit too far?"
"What are you talking about? This is a battlefield!" Zheng Yingqi snorted, then squatted down, drew a line across Gao Cheng's neck with a pen, and said to Gao Cheng:
"Company commander, you've been killed in action!"
Gao Cheng's eyes were blazing with anger, regretting that he hadn't kicked the kid harder.
Zheng Yingqi chuckled, took out a grenade used in the exercise, attached the pull cord, buried it, and tied the other end of the pull cord to Gao Cheng: "Company Commander, please respect the exercise rules—lay down the body, and while you're at it, give my regards to the brothers in the Division Reconnaissance Battalion. Just say they're not all that great."
Gao Cheng hummed silently, now filled with despair.
"Alright, Ma Xiaoshuai, I said you should get a pen and write it down." After Zheng Yingqi finished speaking, Ma Xiaoshuai immediately took out paper and pen, and then Zheng Yingqi said:
"Write it like this: Brothers of the Divisional Reconnaissance Battalion, I express my utmost contempt for your combat effectiveness—a reinforced battalion couldn't even handle three of us routed soldiers, it's truly a disgrace!"
"Three?"
"Why are there three?"
Meng Kai, Wang Hui, and the other three soldiers were puzzled. Ma Xiaoshuai, who was writing, also looked at Zheng Yingqi with a questioning expression. Zheng Yingqi rolled his eyes.
"Are you guys stupid? Are you expecting me to tell them everything? Just write it down like this!"
Although he didn't know why Zheng Yingqi wanted to provoke the Division's reconnaissance battalion, Ma Xiaoshuai still wrote it down as Zheng Yingqi had instructed, and Zheng Yingqi stuffed the note into Gao Cheng's pocket.
"Company Commander, goodbye! We agreed not to hold grudges or make things difficult for each other!" Zheng Yingqi said pitifully to Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng really wanted to spit in the guy's face. He never realized that this kid could be so shameless.
call out
The flare gun was fired into the sky, and in a few minutes it would summon an airdrop—no, a rescue mission. The seven men didn't dare to delay and all got into the jeep. Wang Hui stepped on the gas, and the overloaded jeep sped away under Gao Cheng's angry gaze.
【Fine, fine, the soldiers I trained don't give the old company commander the slightest bit of face. Fine, Zheng Yingqi, we'll see!】
Gao Cheng muttered angrily to himself, but at the same time, a strange smile appeared on his face, probably something like the sentiment of "My son is so good at stealing cabbages."
Even though... the cabbage that was uprooted...
The signal flare that went up attracted the rescue team of the division's reconnaissance battalion. A jeep quickly arrived in front of Gaocheng. When the soldiers in the jeep saw the deputy battalion commander who was tied up, they were dumbfounded, but then they rushed over in a swarm.
And so, the booby trap was easily triggered.
Several elite scouts stared at each other, completely bewildered as to what had happened.
"What are you all standing there for? Dead!" Gao Cheng was seething with anger. "Booby traps! Have you all forgotten how you practiced? You didn't even check them before flipping them over—and now they're all ruined!"
Several scouts looked miserable and on the verge of tears.
"Take off the sign and go back!" Gao Cheng said angrily, getting into the vehicle with the "fallen" scouts and heading back to the regrouping point—while the note Zheng Yingqi left on "Gao Cheng's body" quickly spread throughout the entire division's reconnaissance battalion.
The soldiers of the division's reconnaissance battalion, like enraged lions, began a thorough search for the three people who left the note.
Gao Cheng strictly adhered to the exercise rules and did not reveal what exactly happened.
……
At the end, Yuan Lang finally managed to get rid of the special correspondent from the military newspaper, and then received a strange report from his subordinates:
"Captain, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao was ambushed and killed. They also planted booby traps on him, and the rescue team was wiped out. The three men who planted the booby traps left a taunting note and drove off in Deputy Battalion Commander Gao's car. Now the T Division's reconnaissance battalion is searching for the three men like crazy."
After his subordinate finished reporting, he asked with a hint of doubt, "Captain, could it be that Deputy Battalion Commander Gao... he... deliberately let this go?"
"How could such a proud person do something like this? Could it be that he's deliberately letting them win?" Yuan Lang shook his head in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Ambushing, leaving booby traps, leaving a note to provoke them—what are they trying to do?"
Yuan Lang didn't believe that under such oppression, someone would be idle enough to engage in such provocative behavior, especially with such despicable means.
"Using any means necessary to achieve your goals... I really underestimated the elite of the T Division." Yuan Lang muttered, "Fine, let me see what you're up to and what methods you have!"
If Yuan Lang knew that Gao Cheng was "dead" while bound, he would definitely think of that audacious person immediately...
(My eyes hurt, so I'll update the remaining chapter tonight.)
