Bang. Bang...
Gunshots rang out at the firing range.
Miao Lian and Chen Guotao stood not far away, watching the shooting range.
"Platoon leader, the commander will be coming to the company to inspect the training in a few days."
Miao Lian then spoke.
Upon hearing Miao Lian's words, Chen Guotao said, "I understand, Company Commander. So, will we transfer another batch of people like last year?"
Miao Lian smiled and pointed to Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa, who were shooting not far away, and said, "It's the same routine every year. This time, we've included these two soldiers as well."
"But...Company Commander, they are both new recruits."
Chen Guotao hesitated.
Miao Lian glared at him and said, "Aren't new recruits soldiers? Aren't they soldiers of our reconnaissance company?"
"Yes, sir! Understood, company commander!"
Chen Guotao saluted.
Miao Lian nodded, then, as if remembering something, said, "Right, don't bring Su Yang in. That day, arrange for him to stand guard in the company, or help in the cookhouse, that's fine too."
Upon hearing this, Chen Guotao immediately looked puzzled.
He couldn't quite understand Miao Lian's thoughts.
Su Yang's marksmanship is undeniable; in the entire company, or rather, the entire division, no one can rival him. If Su Yang were to participate, the commander would surely be pleased, but the company commander has instead kept Su Yang hidden.
Could it be that they're worried the commander has taken a liking to Su Yang and will transfer him away from the reconnaissance company?
Thinking about this, Chen Guotao rejected the idea.
Chen Guotao knew better than anyone who Miao Lian was.
Miao Lian is a soldier fanatic. If he finds a good soldier, he will do everything he can to send him to the special forces. How could he possibly still be hiding Su Yang?
Chapter Twenty-One: Zhuang Yan's Assistance (Please add to your favorites! Please give flowers!)
Despite his confusion, Chen Guotao agreed.
Another week passed quickly.
Nancheng...a small, third-tier county town.
At Su Yang's home...
Although Su Yang is a time traveler, he also has family, and his family in this life is exactly the same as his family in his previous life.
Of course, they didn't know about time travel.
Dong Dong...
There was a knock on the door.
When Su Yang's father, Su Daguo, heard the knocking, he went to the door and opened it. He then saw the director of the neighborhood committee and a middle-aged man in military uniform standing at the door.
The director of the subdistrict office was also holding an EMS document bag, which was entirely red and had the words "Good News" clearly written on it.
"Excuse me, is this Su Yang's home?"
The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"I am Su Yang's father. And who are you?"
Su Daguo asked in confusion.
"I'm from the county's armed forces department. I'm here to deliver good news. Your son, Su Yang, performed exceptionally well during his recruit training and has been recognized as an outstanding recruit. Here's the good news..."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man from the county's armed forces department handed the good news to Su Daguo.
Su Daguo accepted the good news with a look of excitement.
......
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Night Tiger reconnaissance unit...
Su Yang had no idea that the good news he received in basic training would take almost two months to reach his home.
He looked at Chen Guotao with a bewildered expression and asked, "Platoon leader, why?"
"what why?"
"It's not our class's turn to be on guard duty today, so why am I suddenly being asked to do it?"
Su Yang asked.
Chen Guotao said, "Why so many questions? Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. It's not right to make you stand guard today!"
Su Yang opened his mouth... but in the end, he had no choice but to give a respectful bow.
Normally he wouldn't say anything, but today was the day the leader was coming to inspect. Su Yang knew the plot, and if nothing unexpected happened, Old Gao would also come with the leader. Then Old Gao gave the reconnaissance team a good lesson.
Hmm...
Thinking about this, Su Yang immediately guessed why Chen Guotao had made him stand guard today.
Because with his current marksmanship, if he were to go into battle, it wouldn't just be the reconnaissance company that would lose face, but Old Gao himself.
Thinking about this, Su Yang understood.
Su Yang immediately replied, "Understood, Platoon Leader, I will definitely stand guard."
"But what about today's live-fire exercise?"
"Don't worry, Miao Lian said you'll get your share."
"Understood, Platoon Leader."
Chen Guotao left soon after.
Su Yang stood guard by the door, holding a gun.
Time passed little by little...
Around 10:00 AM, Su Yang saw several military vehicles drive past on the cross road in front of the company, heading towards the firing range.
coming!
Su Yang raised an eyebrow. He watched the car drive into the shooting range, then looked away from the car and continued to stand guard without looking to the side.
Miao Lian deliberately kept himself in the company, his purpose being to dampen the morale of the reconnaissance company.
After all, their reconnaissance company is the most elite company in the entire regiment, and no other company can compare to them!
Therefore, all the soldiers in the company had a sense of pride.
Miao Lian wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the company.
...........
Five minutes later...
Over at the firing range.
At this moment, Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa are performing shooting on the move.
Not far away, the entire company of soldiers stood in neat rows, with the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company flag flying at the very front of the company.
Beside the company, a man who had come to inspect the company stood with a man wearing special camouflage, a beret, and sunglasses.
Miao Lian and Chen Guotao stood next to the two.
Watching Chen Xiwa and Zhuang Yan conduct live-fire exercises, the commander chuckled and said, "You old Miao wouldn't send a veteran here wearing the rank of private to fool me, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Lian, who was standing nearby, quickly laughed and said, "Minister, you know my character. Why would I need to do that?"
The commander smiled again after hearing this, then raised his chin and said, "Have them run over here."
"Yes!"
Chen Xiwa and Zhuang Yan, having received the order, quickly ran over.
The commander glanced at the two of them, then pointed at Zhuang Yan and asked, "How old are you?"
In the shooting exercise just now, Zhuang Yan was two seconds faster than Chen Xiwa.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan immediately replied, "Reporting, I am eighteen this year."
The commander smiled and said, "Not bad, you're a promising young man. You're the youngest rapid-fire sharpshooter I've ever seen..."
Upon hearing the commander's words, Zhuang Yan's expression immediately became complicated.
Su Yang came to mind!
The youngest rapid-fire sharpshooter?
If he remembered correctly, during basic training, Zhuang Yan overheard Chen Xiwa and Su Yang chatting about their ages. Su Yang was also eighteen, but his birthday was in November, while Zhuang Yan's birthday was in August.
In other words, Su Yang is actually younger than himself.
In terms of marksmanship...
Needless to say, their marksmanship is exceptional.
