Chapter 157: Water Ghost Xu Tao
Soon, after some preparation, all thirteen people from the two teams boarded the speedboat, each carrying a lifebuoy tied to the body with a rope, which also played a protective role for everyone.
Driven by the veteran, thirteen men were quickly taken to a position about a kilometer from the shore. According to normal standards, the distance of the armed swimming is at least three kilometers, but considering that most of the tactical team is new to contact, the final veteran set the distance at a position of one kilometer.
As thirteen people jumped into the sea one after another, the second competition between the tactical team of the Dragon Tooth Brigade and the special operations team of the Sea Jiao Squadron also kicked off.
The result is also very obvious, not long after the competition began, the special operations team led by Lu Haiyang opened the tactical group far away, and in the tactical group, except for Ye Mo, who was able to compete with Lu Haiyang who was swimming first, Jiang Chen was barely able to keep up with the team, and the remaining five people were far behind.
In less than twenty minutes, all six of Lu Haiyang's special operations team swam to the shore, and although Ye Mo was closely behind Lu Haiyang, he was the second to arrive on the shore. But the other members of the tactical team, except for Jiang Chen, who was about to arrive on the shore, the remaining few people could only faintly see a head.
"Crazy Shark, even if you swim too fast and your other brothers are so wasteful, you still can't defeat us!" Looking at Ye Mo, who was standing not far away with a hint of worry in his expression, Lu Haiyang spoke, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"Shut up, if you have the ability, the two of us will pull it out separately to practice, if I lose to you, I will be your grandson!" Ye Mo, who was furious, turned his head and yelled at the landing ocean after hearing this.
Ye Mo's words successfully shocked Lu Haiyang, and when he looked at the other party, Lu Haiyang's eyes also carried a trace of jealousy.
When participating in the Dragon's Tooth, although Lu Haiyang and Ye Mo were both seeded players in the Eastern Military Region, Ye Mo's strength was still a little worse than Lu Haiyang.
However, in just over two years, Ye Mo's strength has basically surpassed Lu Haiyang, of course, from all aspects. In the shooting competition just now, although Lu Haiyang defeated the dragon's teeth, but if you look closely, you can find that among the four people in the competition, if you compare according to the number of rings, the best shooting score is still Ye Mo, if it weren't for Shang Jie's situation where a bullet misses the target, Lu Haiyang's special operations team may really not be the opponent of the tactical group.
"What, scared?"
After seeing the look in Lu Haiyang's eyes, Ye Mo, who sneered, spoke.
"Even if your strength surpasses mine, how can you complete the task assigned to us by your superiors in the escort operation that starts two weeks later! Not to mention completing the task, when the time comes, you will all vomit in the dark, and you will all become soft-footed shrimp!" Lu Haiyang, who of course refused to admit defeat in his heart, retorted.
"Young man, how about we make a bet?"
Just as Ye Mo was about to say something, the veteran who had been standing not far away suddenly stood up and spoke.
"What bet?"
Seeing this, Lu Haiyang subconsciously replied.
"Since it will take two weeks for the convoy to depart, in two weeks, you will come here again with your team and compete with them. How about shooting and armed swimming, plus a simulated actual combat confrontation?" said the veteran, who looked very indifferent, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter.
"Squad leader, are you joking with me?" Lu Haiyang, who heard this, sneered, "With two weeks, they want to defeat us? Not to mention shooting, do you think they can defeat us in two weeks?"
Lu Haiyang, who was speaking, pointed to the members of the tactical team who were still fighting against the waves on the sea in the distance, and his eyes were full of disdain.
"That's not your business, you just have to say whether to gamble or not!" said the veteran.
"Since you bet, you need to have a bet!" In this regard, Lu Haiyang, who suddenly had a hint of interest in this in his heart, glanced at the veteran, and after thinking for a while, he spoke again, "If we win, in the next four months of the mission, they need to unconditionally obey our orders and are not allowed to act without permission!"
"This...."
The veteran who heard this immediately hesitated, and he did not dare to agree to such a bet without the consent of the tactical team.
"We took the bet!"
Ye Mo, who was on the side, just wanted to answer, but then Jiang Chen's voice came, but his voice sounded a little weak.
On the beach, Jiang Chen, who was wet all over, walked ashore step by step, his face was a little pale, and he looked very weak.
Jiang Chen, who tried to swim in the sea for the first time, also felt the power of the sea for the first time, and in just one kilometer, he used up almost all the strength on Jiang Chen's body. At this time, there are still five members of the team who are still in the middle of the sea, fighting with the sea.
Although Jiang Chen, who had just landed, looked extremely weak, his eyes at this time seemed extremely firm, and his whole body exuded a momentum.
"Two weeks, two weeks later, we'll play again, if we lose to you. In the ensuing convoy operations, we are fully subordinate to your leadership. Of course, if you lose, in the next actions, you not only need to fully obey our orders, but also apologize for what you did today!" Jiang Chen, whose tone was extremely weak, forced his swaying body to support his swaying body, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Lu Haiyang.
The veteran who turned around looked at Jiang Chen, who had just landed, with a touch of appreciation in his surprised eyes.
Looking at Jiang Chen's determined expression, Lu Haiyang's heart was shocked again, and he didn't answer Jiang Chen's question at the first time.
"Are you serious?"
After a long time, Lu Haiyang, who raised his head again, looked at Jiang Chen and said.
"Don't you dare?"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen snorted coldly and opened his mouth to provoke.
"Joke, why don't you dare!" Lu Haiyang, who heard this, also snorted coldly, "I really don't know where you got your confidence, is it just this one veteran?"
Lu Haiyang, who was speaking, pointed to the veteran standing next to him, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Not on him, but on ourselves!"
Jiang Chen, who shook his head, spoke.
"Hahaha...."
Without waiting for Lu Haiyang to speak, the veteran standing on the side suddenly burst out laughing, and the two sides who were still in a confrontation a second ago looked at the laughing veteran with a puzzled face.
"I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and for the first time, I was underestimated by a new recruit!"
After laughing, the veteran who glanced at Lu Haiyang opened his mouth and said, according to the age of the soldier, Lu Haiyang can indeed be regarded as a rookie.
"Jiang Chen, right?"
After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Chen's veteran and spoke.
"Yes!" After resting for a while, Jiang Chen's state was also much better.
But after subconsciously answering this question, he suddenly realized that he hadn't said his name from beginning to end, and Jiang Chen seemed to understand something while being shocked that the veteran in front of him was suddenly able to call out his name.
"Before, Captain Jiang found me and kept begging me to train your troops, but I never agreed, and then I reluctantly agreed to his request. Now it seems that if I had refused his request at the beginning, I might have really regretted it for the rest of my life!"
It seemed that he had seen through Jiang Chen's thoughts, the veteran spoke, and the captain Jiang in his mouth was Jiang Tianyu, the captain of the Dragon Tooth Brigade.
"You're what the captain said, to train our instructors?"
Without waiting for Jiang Chen to say anything, Ye Mo, who was standing on the side, reacted and said, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Why, isn't it like?"
The veteran who heard this turned his head, glanced at Ye Mo and said.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to hit the other party's self-confidence in front of the veteran, Ye Mo probably shook his head without hesitation, in addition to the other party's military rank was still somewhat convincing, in Ye Mo's eyes, this veteran was at most looking at the sea training ground, usually repairing guns or something.
The veteran who turned his head no longer paid attention to Ye Mo, but looked at Lu Haiyang, only to see him open his mouth and say, "Two weeks, two weeks later, you will come here again." According to what I just said, you will compete again, and if they lose a game, not only will they obey your orders in the next action, but I will also take off this clothes and go home!"
"Who the hell are you?"
At this time, Lu Haiyang began to suspect the identity of the veteran, but Lu Haiyang searched the memories in his mind, and still couldn't find any identity about the veteran, which was why Lu Haiyang was so arrogant in front of the veteran before.
"Xu Tao!"
Seeing this, the veteran opened his mouth and said, although it sounded like a very ordinary name, but in the ears of Lu Haiyang and a cadre of cadres, plus Ye Mo, who also came out of the Marine Corps, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
"Are you Xu Tao?" The legend of the Marine Corps back then, and the first batch of members of the Haijiao squadron, Xu Tao, known as the water ghost?"
When Xu Tao just said his name, Ye Mo, who exclaimed not far away, directly told Xu Tao's identity.
Although among the five major military regions of Huaxia, each has a special operations squadron subordinate to the General Staff Department, but the time when each squadron was established is not the same, the earliest is the sword squadron of the Southern Military Region, and the predecessor of the sword squadron is the most elite reconnaissance brigade of the Southern Military Region that year, and the shortest time of establishment is the Haijiao squadron located in the Eastern Military Region.
All the members of the Haijiao squadron, or most of the members, were selected from the Marine Corps. For various reasons, Huaxia had its own navy in the fifties of the twentieth century, and although the Marine Corps appeared at the same time, when the first Marine Brigade appeared, it was already in the eighties.
And the appearance of the Haijiao squadron appeared on the basis of the growing size of the Marine Corps. It has only been more than 20 years since then, and he is also the youngest of the five special operations squadrons.
This is just like what Ye Mo just said, standing in front of everyone now, this Xu Tao, whose clothes were washed white and carried a second-class sergeant major on his shoulder, was the first batch of members of the Haijiao Squadron that year, and he also had his own legend in the Marine Corps back then.
"But aren't you already sacrificed?"
After thinking of the actions that happened back then, Ye Mo subconsciously spoke, but after seeing Xu Tao's eyes looking at him, he quickly closed his mouth.
"Back then, it was a fluke that Lord Yama didn't take my life!" Xu Tao, who saw this, said, but when he said this, Xu Tao's eyes were also with a trace of heaviness.
In that year, during an operation, Xu Tao was ordered to crack down on a group of pirates who invaded China's territorial waters, but there was an accident during the operation, resulting in Xu Tao, who was only in his twenties, and joined the Haijiao squadron was seriously injured.
After recovering from his injury, Xu Tao declined the request to continue to stay in the Haijiao squadron as an instructor, but chose to come to the training ground to guard this piece of beach and sea, which is more than ten years.
Because Xu Tao was a Haijiao squadron that quietly left, everyone only knew that Xu Tao was seriously injured, but there was no news of him later, so many people even rumored that Xu Tao died in that operation, which is why Ye Mo said what he said just now.
"Squad leader Xu Tao, are you really the instructor who trained us?"
When he knew that the famous water ghost was standing in front of him, and when he thought that he would be taught by him in the next two weeks, Ye Mo was even breathing a lot.
"What, don't you want to?" Xu Tao, who heard this, opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.
"Of course not!" Seeing this, Ye Mo hurriedly shook his head, being able to get Xu Tao's teaching, Ye Mo could laugh in his dreams.
Compared with Ye Mo, who was extremely surprised, Lu Haiyang and the members of a special operations team at this time fell from heaven to hell, although they had already guessed that this veteran had an extraordinary background, but they never expected that it was actually the water ghost Xu Tao, the legend of the Marine Corps back then.
"Xu Tao's squad leader!"
After seeing Ye Mo, who looked surprised, Lu Haiyang, who had a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, hesitated for a while, and finally shouted.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing this, Xu Tao turned his head and asked, he was a fool who could hear it, compared with his attitude towards Ye Mo, Jiang Chen and others, Xu Tao's attitude towards Lu Haiyang was much worse. This can be heard in the tone.
