Chapter 4: Encounter with a mercenary

"Bang!" The door to the instructor's office was slammed open.

The guide, who was immersed in his work, only raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything.

There is only one person in the whole company who dares to break in directly without knocking on the door like this, and that is the company commander Fang Donglei.

As soon as Fang Donglei entered the office, he shouted emotionally: "Old Wang, have you heard of it?" ”

"What?" Instructor Wang Shurong replied lightly, but did not look up at the company commander.

Fang Donglei saw that the instructor was blaming himself for breaking in the door just now, but he didn't explain anything, but just said in his heart: "Scholars are like this, they are blind and exquisite, how can there be so much politeness when something big happens?" ”

"Lao Wang, a big event happened to us today. In the morning, the recruit Li Shicheng defeated the senior soldier Wu Manman in only three moves after being instructed by the clerk, and in the afternoon, Wu Manman went to find the clerk to compete with the gun, guess what? Fang Donglei said and deliberately stopped, but he didn't give instructor Wang Shurong a chance to speak, and immediately preached again, "The two of them compared the disassembly and assembly of the Type 95 rifle, and it was also a competition, and the result was that the clerk was ahead of nearly a third of the time!" ”

Wang Shurong had already heard about these two things, and only after the company commander finished speaking, did he raise his head and ask, "Old Fang, what do you want to say?" ”

"Say what?" Fang Donglei was slightly stunned, and then said, "Of course I want to know what you think about these two things!" ”

Wang Shurong, as an instructor, was calmer than the five big and three thick company commanders, and said softly: "Let's talk about your opinion first." ”

Company Commander Fang Donglei couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately said: "Genius, absolute genius!" ”

"This is your opinion of Zhao Guoqing?" Wang Shurong asked, his brows furrowed slightly.

Fang Donglei nodded vigorously and said, "That's right. You think, just a few words for a recruit to defeat a veteran in three moves shows that he has an extraordinary understanding of fighting skills, plus his knowledge of firearms is enough to show that he is a genius among geniuses! ”

"So what?" The instructor asked.

"So what, so what?" Fang Donglei screamed twice, looked at the instructor in surprise as if he was looking at a monster, and screamed, "We have a genius among geniuses, aren't you excited at all?" ”

"Don't forget that Zhao Guoqing has congenital heart disease, and if he is emotional, he may die!" Wang Shurong spoke in a heavy tone.

As if someone had poured cold water on it in the cold winter wax moon, the company commander Fang Donglei shivered.

yes. People with congenital heart disease, emotional and emotional people who can die are not destined to train like everyone else, even if they are geniuses of geniuses? Fate destined Zhao Guoqing not to go too far on the road of soldiers, and he would not have any achievements.

"But he is the grandson of Old Man Zhao, and it is the blood of the Zhao family that flows in his body!" Fang Donglei shouted unrelentingly.

Wang Shurong let out a long sigh, from the moment Zhao Guoqing stepped into the company, he and the company commander Fang Donglei already knew Zhao Guoqing's family history.

Old Man Zhao is known as the god of the army, and it is said that no one will surpass his achievements in recent decades.

Although Old Man Zhao's five sons were all killed in battle, their stories were passed down in the army like legends.

In modern times, the Zhao family has walked out of a Zhao Aiguo, who is the most optimistic about the possibility of surpassing the old man Zhao, but it is a pity that he died a year ago when he was on a mission.

When they learned that Zhao Guoqing was a child of the Zhao family, Wang Shurong and Fang Donglei were excited, thinking that a new star in the army would rise from their company, and later learned that Zhao Guoqing had congenital heart disease, so he would be assigned to a regular army.

Wang Shurong still remembers the disappointment at that time very clearly, just like Fang Donglei's reaction at this time.

"Old Fang, I advise you not to have any hope for him, he will never be." When the words came to his mouth, Wang Shurong stopped again, feeling that the words that came out were disrespectful to the old man Zhao and the Zhao family, the Zhao family has paid so much for the motherland, and the children of the Zhao family deserve people's respect.

"Okay." Fang Donglei suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, and after being silent for nearly a minute, he suddenly spoke, "Then what do you think of the request made by the clerk recently?" ”

"You mean to follow the squad on a mountain patrol mission?" Wang Shurong asked.

Fang Donglei nodded.

Wang Shurong thought seriously for a while and replied: "Patrolling the mountains will have a very large load on the body, I am afraid that his heart will not be able to stand it, plus patrolling the mountains has a certain danger, my opinion is"

Fang Donglei interrupted the instructor and said, "Old Wang, I hope you will think about it again before you make a final conclusion. That's right, the clerk is indeed sick, but he is a child of the Zhao family after all. His elder brother, father and four uncles, as well as Old Man Zhao, are all heroes, and we should not always treat him as a flower in a greenhouse to protect. You know, even a tiger will become a sick cat if it is locked up for a long time, and we should give him a chance! ”

Wang Shurong lowered his head and pondered, and finally made a decision after a while. "Okay, I agree with him to participate in this mountain patrol mission, but we need to ensure his safety as close as possible!"

"I'll leave this matter to me." The company commander answered, and after speaking, he went out, and then the squad leader Feng Xiaolong was found in his office.

After walking out of the company commander's office, Feng Xiaolong wondered, and couldn't figure out why the company commander agreed to Zhao Guoqing to follow his squad out on a mission tomorrow, and secretly issued an order to protect Zhao Guoqing's safety no matter what.

Feng Xiaolong didn't tell anyone about this, as the king of fighting in the battalion, he believed that he could still protect a recruit in the event of an ordinary accident.

When Zhao Guoqing learned that he could finally go out on a mission like other comrades-in-arms, he was so excited that he almost lost sleep, and the next morning he got up and packed his backpack and rushed to the first shift.

Feng Xiaolong, the leader of the first squad, said after looking at Zhao Guoqing: "Let's eat first, and we will set off after eating." ”

"Yes." Zhao Guoqing saluted and replied, still very respectful of the first-class non-commissioned officer in front of him.

The rest of the class knew that Zhao Guoqing was going to go out with them on a mission, and it was like exploding for a while.

"Oh my God, it's already tiring to patrol the mountains, but now it's good, we still have to watch a sick number."

"That's it, isn't the company commander looking for something for us? Why do we have to let the clerk go out with our class to carry out the mission, what if something happens? ”

There are many voices of complaining, but there are also voices of comfort.

Li Shicheng helped Zhao Guoqing put the backpack beside him and said: "Paperwork, you can rest assured, if you can't carry it on the road, I will help you carry this thing." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Guoqing smiled from the bottom of his heart, glanced at the others at the same time, and said secretly in his heart, "Wait and see, I want to use practical actions to prove that I can do what you can do!" ”

After breakfast, Zhao Guoqing and a group of members set off on time.

As a unit stationed in Yunnan near the border, almost every week a squad of soldiers goes deep into the mountains of Yunnan to carry out mountain patrol tasks, mainly to check whether there are any people who have illegally crossed the border.

The danger of patrolling the mountains mainly comes from two aspects, one is that the roads in the deep mountains and old forests are difficult to walk, even the local mountain people rarely go deep, once they lose their way, it is difficult to get out again, which is a natural risk; Second, when patrolling the mountains, you may encounter drug dealers smuggling drugs from abroad, and these people usually carry weapons and equipment, and if they resist stubbornly, they will fight, which is dangerous.

Whether it is natural insurance or human insurance, Zhao Guoqing is looking forward to it, and he sees this mission as a kind of tempering for himself.

Unlike others, because of his heart, just walking on the difficult mountain road is a kind of tempering for Zhao Guoqing.

Feng Xiaolong received the task of taking care of Zhao Guoqing, so he deliberately slowed down the speed of the march and the distance he was in, but even this was a challenge for Zhao Guoqing.

In order not to be left behind by others, Zhao Guoqing would swallow a special heart pill from time to time to ensure that his heart would not stop beating due to overload.

Li Shicheng wanted to help Zhao Guoqing carry his backpack more than once, but Zhao Guoqing refused, and finally he persevered with his strong perseverance.

The first four days were very calm, and according to the route plan, everyone had three more days to go out and successfully complete the mountain patrol task.

When he stopped to rest, Feng Xiaolong secretly glanced at Zhao Guoqing, thinking that as long as he held on for three more days, he could complete the task and return Zhao Guoqing to the company commander, and at the same time, he also secretly admired Zhao Guoqing, he was much more tenacious than he imagined, and it could be said that it was completely unexpected.

Everyone thought that they would complete the mission without any danger this time, but they did not know that they had been targeted in the dark.

Ten miles east of the resting place of Zhao Guoqing and the others, there were nearly thirty people hidden, two of whom were drug dealers, and the other twenty-five were all mercenaries.

Two drug dealers and a mercenary squad, such a combination would be very surprising if Zhao Guoqing and the others knew.

"Is the message correct?" The mercenary captain asked the mercenary who had returned from the scouting.

"There must be no mistake, there are nine of them, they should be in full shifts, fully armed and should carry ammunition." The scout mercenary replied.

One of the drug dealers was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the mercenary squad leader: "This is so good, let's go and kill them all now!" ”

The mercenary squad leader glared at the drug dealer and said, "Although we met only the most ordinary soldiers of the Celestial Empire, the special forces of the Celestial Empire are by no means easy to mess with, do you think we can leave the Celestial Empire alive if we kill these people?" ”
