Chapter 464: The Heart Can Be Deceived (2)
The second platoon commander suffered a dumb loss in this way, and unknowingly became a mule and horse in the team, and every day he just cooperated with the first platoon to search, transport materials and supplies, and all the dirty work was handed over to the second platoon to do.
And the first platoon gloriously carried the most cutting-edge guns in the whole team, like holding their own beautiful children, walking in front of them with glory on their faces, and all the fierce beasts and insects that appeared on the road were handed over to the platoon to solve, killing them with light under their eyes.
The search in the Eastern Wilderness has been going on for three days, and although the second platoon only needs to do some coolies every day, they can enjoy themselves lazy in the camp at night and do nothing, and even some soldiers have found themselves starting to gain weight.
But the second platoon commander looked at the first platoon leader and became angry, and compared the mental outlook of the first platoon soldiers and the second platoon soldiers, the two teams that were almost the same before have now become two extremes, almost distinct, which gives him a headache.
With the advent of the Awakened Beast, this began to change.
On the fourth day of the search in the Eastern Wilderness, An Xiaoyu and the others had already walked through the second Shahai base and headed towards the next stop, and when they were halfway through, a huge sword worm appeared.
Knife worms are a common arthropod in the Eastern Wilderness, their appearance is similar to that of the sand sea centipede, they are all long strips of multi-segmented insects with compound feet, but the eyes of the knife worm are more hidden, hidden under the thick exoskeleton, and the front body can be lifted, with two huge sickle-shaped front chela, the lethality is amazing.
Generally speaking, the population of the knife worm, from small to large, can even be from a few centimeters in length to more than ten meters in length, so far the largest size of the knife worm ever found in the empire, appeared in a base shooting insect tide, after estimation, the body length can be about 25 meters.
In comparison, the knife worm is a smaller creature than the sand sea centipede, but they grow very quickly, from a juvenile stage of 10 centimeters to an adult stage of 10 meters and even only five years, which is a full five times shorter than the sand sea centipede.
But what surprised An Xiaoyu was that the reminder of the knife worm in front of her was too huge, and compared to other adult knife worms, it was also quite amazing. It was even the same size as the previous Sand Sea Centipede.
Under the deployment of the platoon leader, the platoon quickly confronted the blade worm, and then found out that it was an awakened blade worm that was affected by star energy.
For a moment, the soldiers in a row were miserable.
An Xiaoyu quickly reacted, copying the battle formation that Chi Mo had used when dealing with the beast tide, using heavy vehicles for cover, large artillery fire behind the vehicles for a pilot attack, and other infantry using cutting-edge weapons to contain in all directions on the periphery.
Such a formation perfectly resisted the first wave of attacks of the Knife Worm, and even knocked down two of the Knife Worm's feet, forcing the Knife Worm to retreat temporarily.
But even with such a formation, it still caused damage to the platoon, two fighters fell to the ground with serious injuries, and more than a dozen people were slightly wounded.
But the appearance of the wounded is not the most important, the biggest blow to a platoon of fighters is that under the attack of their guns, the knife worm has never shown weakness, although they have knocked down two feet, but according to the resurrection speed of the knife worm plus the catalysis of star energy, it will heal in less than a night.
If it attacks the camp again, how should they respond? Will they be able to repel the worms again? Under the circumstances of this situation, can they still complete the task of patrolling in the Eastern Wilderness? In the sunset, An Xiaoyu set up camp, and the rows were depressed.
Looking at the gloomy clouds of the first platoon camp, the second platoon commander gloated beside him, and he had to bear the corresponding responsibility if he had interests, and now seeing the first platoon leader suffering, the second platoon leader not only felt the joy in his heart, but even saw some glimmers of hope.
If the first platoon is deflated in this mission, does it mean that An Xiaoyu still has to rely on the strength of the second platoon? Although the forces of the second row and the first row are equal, it is not necessarily possible to achieve good results, but if there is an opportunity, it must be said first.
Thinking of this, the second platoon commander began to get excited after a long absence, and even began to look forward to the next attack of this knife worm, and according to the living habits of the desert arthropod of the knife worm, they have always been day and night, and the probability of night attack is greater.
The second platoon commander even instructed his subordinates not to sleep too hard at night, worrying that something would happen. His subordinates felt that he was unfounded, anyway, the second row had been put on hold recently, even if something happened, what difference did it make if they were awake or asleep?
Hearing this, the second platoon commander was furious and scolded them all, and then he began to go up and down.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, a string of murmuring sounds began to come from outside the camp, the alarm bell sounded, the actor completely woke up, a platoon leader led the soldiers who had already been prepared to rush up, according to the daytime formation reopened, and saw the huge sword beetle half-standing on the sand dune, showing their hideous chelae.
The second platoon commander was very excited, and felt that his opportunity was about to come, but just as he was about to order his soldiers to start preparing for battle, he saw that when the sword worm collided with the attack of the first platoon, a black figure flew out from the center of the camp.
Ann whispers!
During the day's attack, although An Xiaoyu didn't make a move, she was actually testing the situation of the knife worm, she wanted to get the information about the knife worm, about the speed of resurrection, the strength enhancement multiple, the hardness of the carapace and the weakness, etc., all fell into An Xiaoyu's heart during the day.
After calculations, An Xiaoyu found that the strength that the Knife Worm now possessed was completely different from the multiple that an adult Knife Worm should have increased, and it was many times smaller than the worst estimate.
An Xiaoyu opened Xu Hewei's calculation function, entered the information of the sword worm and began to calculate, and found that this knife worm should not be an adult awakened beast, but formed after the star energy increased twelve times when the body length was almost about one meter during the growth period.
After the growth stage of the knife grassworm after the performance increased by twelve times, its power growth began to stop, and the catalytic power of the star energy began to act on the unique rapid growth attribute of the knife worm in the growth stage, so that this knife grasshopper reached the reminder that an adult knife worm had never had in a few days.
And it seems that it is still in the growth stage, and has not yet entered the maturity stage.
However, although the energy of the star energy catalyzed its growth, it was obvious that the increase in strength did not continue to increase by a factor with the reminder and the enhancement of physical fitness, and it still maintained twelve times the strength of the knife worm of this size, and the hardness of the carapace was still twelve times.
This is good news and bad news for An Xiaoyu.
She immediately quickly transmitted her discovery to Xu Hewei, about the possibility that star energy can make the creatures in the growth stage grow rapidly, and even more great than the ordinary maturity stage after reaching the maturity stage, so that An Xiaoyu began to worry about the baby in her hand.
The growth potential of a baby's body is endless, and now that the spirit and soul have been replenished, it won't grow into a giant in the future, right? After that, will a new race be born in the Zhige Continent?
While she passed the news to Xu Hewei, she also asked Xu Hewei to test the baby accordingly, and after receiving a positive answer, An Xiaoyu was relieved.
This was followed by the second attack of the swordsman.
An Xiaoyu can know the details of the knife worm through calculation, but it does not mean that the soldiers below can know that the huge size of the knife worm and the ferocity of the sand sea centipede before have blinded their eyes and made them have an innate fear in their hearts.
In their opinion, this battle was almost on the side of the sword, and some people had even begun to prepare suicide notes, asking their comrades-in-arms to hand over to their families.
However, at this time, An Xiaoyu appeared, carrying the huge chainsaw blade that was removed from the mecha's body in her hand, which was like a long flaming red whip in An Xiaoyu's hand. The long whip danced in mid-air, the fiery red light illuminated An Xiaoyu's face, she shook it hard, and the long whip shot straight towards the knife worm.
Seeing An Xiaoyu's attack, the knife worm roared, and raised the sickle-shaped chela to resist upward, and An Xiaoyu's long whip still wrapped his knife claw and neck in a circle, with An Xiaoyu's loud shout, his hand suddenly forced, between the long whip twitches, a large amount of mucus sprayed out, and a huge head of the knife worm fell to the ground.
The second one......
It was the only thought left on everyone's mind.
The soldiers in the platoon, including the platoon leader, all looked up at An Xiaoyu, who was holding a red long whip and sealing star energy with a test tube with the other hand, and at the same time there was an irresistible sense of awe in his heart.
A platoon of the enemy has merit, An Xiaoyu called the platoon leader to the command post, and ordered him to pick out two squad leaders who performed well today and called them over, An Xiaoyu will give them meritorious praise.
Although he said no, the platoon commander still happily returned to the camp, found the squad leaders of the two most courageous squads in today's battle, and instructed them to be respectful, accept the praise and commendation of An Xiaoyu An Company Commander, and be sure to get back two great credits.
Watching the two squad leaders leave, the platoon leader was already smiling in his heart, he had already decided, since he had been chosen by An Xiaoyu to become a monkey, then he must be a good monkey, maybe he would have a great future in the future.
And just when the first platoon leader was making a small calculation and began to have a heart of submission to An Xiaoyu, the second platoon leader's face became more and more gloomy.
All his preparations tonight turned into a joke, and fortunately no one else knew what he was preparing to make the scandal public.
He also began to realize that in this camp, An Xiaoyu is the absolute controller, in this helpless Eastern Desert, the most powerful force will always be the reliance on what he says, so he has already understood that no matter how careful he is, in the end, he will never be able to fight the row supported by An Xiaoyu.
When the news came that the two squad leaders of the first platoon went to the command room to accept the commendation, the second platoon commander was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, but the deputy next to him was still deceiving himself with fuel and vinegar: "Proud fart!" Look at their miserable appearance, and still accept the award? Scold! ”
The second platoon commander trembled, and couldn't help but raise his leg and kicked the deputy platoon commander out of the camp. Everyone was stunned when they looked at the deputy platoon commander rolling on the ground, and they didn't know what the second platoon commander was crazy about.
But when he saw the terrible face of the second platoon commander, no one dared to say anything, and the deputy platoon commander also got up directly from the ground, not knowing what made the boss angry, and he didn't dare to go in and say anything, so he had to roll back to his camp in disgrace.
After turning over and over in the camp tent several times, the soldiers of the second platoon were looking at what kind of wind their platoon commander was pumping, and then after waiting for a long time, the second platoon commander seemed to be entangled in something, and walked out of the battalion commander with a sigh.
The news that the second platoon commander was going in the direction of An Xiaoyu's command post quickly spread throughout the barracks, and the first platoon leader learned about this matter through the news from the mouths of the two squad leaders who returned from An Xiaoyu's side.
After getting the news, the platoon leader was also a little apprehensive in his heart, the expression on his face changed and changed, and he asked the two squad leaders again what they had heard and seen, and his heart wandered, and finally walked out of the camp and quietly touched An Xiaoyu's command post.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the platoon commander walked near An Xiaoyu's camp, he saw the second platoon commander walking out of the command post with his head lowered, looking dejected. He was a little unsure whether the second platoon commander had seen An Xiaoyu, so he hurriedly walked over and stopped the second platoon leader.
"Two platoon length, two platoon length! Hey, I haven't seen each other in a long time, and the tasks have been really heavy lately, so why don't we go to dinner together? The first platoon leader pretended to invite, while observing the expression on the face of the second platoon leader, but found no clues.
The second platoon commander saw the face of the platoon leader, sneered, didn't say anything, and left.
The face of the first platoon leader became more and more gloomy, and he asked around what the second platoon leader said and did on An Xiaoyu's side, but he didn't inquire about it for half a night, and the news from An Xiaoyu's tent was like a big girl's crotch, covered tightly.
The next morning, however, the platoon leader looked at the order in his hand and was stunned.
The second platoon successfully took the position, and all the tasks were reversed, the first platoon was responsible for baggage, and the second platoon was responsible for searching, which caught everyone off guard.
But An Xiaoyu's reason is still very reasonable: "After a few days of fighting and searching, the platoon should take a break for a while, which is in line with the reasonable arrangement of the team." ”
This order and reason were also written into the marching schedule, and in the future, they would be handed over to the upper echelons of the Military Commission along with all the mission reports, and no one had any reason to object, so the reshuffle within the Changshan Army began.
As for the 200 people of the Eastern Wilderness Army, none of them were there, after all, in their hearts, the Eastern Wilderness Army is not necessarily a regular army, and it is normal to not be able to carry guns and fight, and they can maintain the security of the camp on a daily basis, which shows that the Eastern Wilderness Army is An Xiaoyu's personal soldiers, which is also beyond doubt.
However, the first platoon commander and the second platoon commander who were furious had forgotten their roots in governing the army, and they did not realize that from the deputy platoon commander of the second platoon who was kicked out of the camp to the first platoon, the content of the work was changed, and all people's hearts began to change.
First of all, the soldiers of the second platoon first had a fate for the second platoon commander, and they were unhappy for the deputy platoon commander, and they saw the battle between the first platoon and the sword worm before, and they were really a little afraid of such a one-sided battle situation, and they were very disdainful of the second platoon commander's secret operation just to seek power.
Then there was a platoon of fighters, after a long battle, fatigue gradually replaced the excitement at the beginning, and An Xiaoyu's conversion order was just what they wanted, so that they could have a good rest. However, the platoon commander did not appreciate it, and he always held a grudge against them after them, as if they had not fought well because they had not fought well because they had been transferred to baggage.
As a result, the tendencies of all the soldiers began to lean towards An Xiaoyu, and the first platoon leader and the second platoon leader fell into each other's intrigue and could not extricate themselves.
The search mission for the next few days was still very simple, the division of labor was clear, since there were no more Awakened Beasts, the combat mission of the second platoon was also very easy, and the fear gradually disappeared from the crowd, except for the first platoon leader and the second platoon leader, the entire camp became extremely harmonious.
In the battle with a small beast tide, the second platoon achieved outstanding results, An Xiaoyu publicly praised it, and according to the usual practice, ordered the second platoon commander to select two outstanding squad leaders to come over and commend the merits alone, the second platoon commander went to execute it with joy, and finally raised his eyebrows and praised his decision to find An Xiaoyu to show his loyalty.
And the platoon leader on the other side has already determined in his heart that An Xiaoyu is because of the second platoon leader's overture that night, and he doesn't even know what price he paid, in exchange for the current opportunity, the monkey suddenly turned into a chicken, such a gap really made him a little unbearable.
After thinking about it, the platoon commander decided to take out his many years of continuation and the illicit wealth secretly hidden in the Eastern Wilderness in exchange for the opportunity to stay.
So he hurried out of the camp tent and rushed to An Xiaoyu's command post in full view of everyone.
Including the second platoon commander, all the soldiers were paying attention to An Xiaoyu's camp, wanting to see what kind of changes would happen again this time.
Many people speculate that the first platoon leader will return to the position, and some people speculate that the second platoon leader will continue to dominate the limelight.
However, to everyone's surprise, it didn't take long for the West to take the Eastern Wilderness Army out of the camp with the first platoon commander, and the second platoon commander was not able to escape the sanctions, and the evidence of bribing the commander was vivid, and the first platoon commander and the second platoon commander were dismissed on the spot.
An Xiaoyu gave a reasonable order for the conversion of the tasks of the two platoons, and naturally there was no suspicion of taking bribes, so the two guys who fought for power and profit finally suffered the consequences of their own planting.
On the night of this day, the two platoons of the Changshan Army were interspersed and combined, and they were divided into four, which were taken over by the four squad leaders who had been received by An Xiaoyu before, and the original first platoon commander and the second platoon commander were sent to the Military Commission for investigation and punishment.
So from this night on, An Xiaoyu had her first descendant troops.
