Chapter 82: Reunion with Gao Cheng
seaside.
“Boom boom boom~~~”
Gao Cheng led his team to the coast near a warship. This was the position they would defend during the exercise.
"Xiao Ning, take the men to familiarize themselves with the warship first!"
Gao Cheng said as he walked towards the command cabin.
"yes!"
Gan Xiaoning led a group of soldiers towards the interior of the warship.
Since Gao Cheng was transferred to the division reconnaissance battalion, he has been trying to gather the personnel of the old seventh company, but has encountered resistance from many sides.
Even though Gao Cheng has a strong background, no one dares to release him without the approval of senior leaders.
In the end, the commander of the 702nd Regiment, Wang Qingrui, saw that Gao Cheng was really at his wit's end, so he resisted the pressure and released Gan Xiaoning to Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng was very grateful to Wang Qingrui. Wang Qingrui did not ask Gao Cheng to make any return. He just told Gao Cheng that this was the compensation he gave me for being the company commander for several years.
In this way, Gan Xiaoning arrived at the division reconnaissance camp and was taken by Gao Cheng.
For Gan Xiaoning, being able to return to the company commander's side is undoubtedly a great thing. Regardless of what the future holds, he is very happy just to be able to continue following Gao Cheng.
When he arrived at the division reconnaissance battalion, as a newcomer, Gan Xiaoning plunged in with the spirit of the 7th Steel Company, demonstrating to others what it meant to be a sharp knife to the enemy, a razor to training, and a boning knife to oneself, and gained a firm foothold in the division reconnaissance battalion in one fell swoop.
Inside the warship's command cabin.
Gao Cheng called the three company commanders over and began to make arrangements based on the warship's structural diagram: "The second and third companies will be divided into several combat teams based on squads, responsible for guarding important areas such as the hangar, oil depot, and food supply room below..."
"The first company is responsible for the command cabin, the plywood, and the layout towards the coast..."
"yes!"
The three company commanders received the tasks issued by Gao Cheng and quickly left to start the arrangements.
However, at this moment.
"Report~" Gan Xiaoning walked into the command cabin.
"Are you familiar with it?" Gao Cheng asked in surprise. For a warship this big, isn't the speed a bit faster?
"Not yet!" Gan Xiaoning told the truth, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Why would you come up without me?" Gao Cheng's face changed immediately.
Gan Xiaoning subconsciously shrank his neck. He was still a little afraid of Gao Cheng's mighty power: "The people who were asked to be stuffed in are here!"
"Just make your arrangements when you get here. Didn't I tell you that?" Gao Cheng's tone became colder.
"Battalion Commander, I think you should meet the people who are coming!" Gan Xiaoning suggested.
"You still want me to meet him? Who is so grand?" Gao Cheng looked at Gan Xiaoning.
"Comrade Company Commander, I am the 4949th soldier of the 7th Steel Company, Jiang Shui, reporting to you. Please give me your instructions~"
A loud voice suddenly came from outside the cabin door, very penetrating.
“…”
Gan Xiaoning silently moved aside.
Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Gan Xiaoning, and when he turned his head, a figure appeared at the cabin door.
That familiar face, that familiar figure, came into Gao Cheng's eyes.
"Jiang Shui?" Gao Cheng blinked, seeming a little unbelievable, especially when he saw the lieutenant rank on Jiang Shui's shoulder, he was completely stunned.
Jiang Shui walked into the command cabin very solemnly, came to Gao Cheng, stood still, saluted, and reported again: "Comrade Company Commander, I am the 4949th soldier of the 7th Steel Company, Jiang Shui, reporting to you, please give me your instructions!"
Gao Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand and circled Jiang Shui's chest, with a look of joy on his face. He pretended to be very angry and said, "What instructions? Why did you end up here?"
"Report to the company commander, under the instructions of my superiors, I will temporarily join the division reconnaissance battalion in this exercise and fight alongside you!" Jiang Shui also smiled.
Looking at Jiang Shui's familiar face, Gao Cheng finally couldn't help it, and hugged Jiang Shui, saying a little excitedly: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back~"
for a long time.
The two finally calmed down and went downstairs and separated.
Gao Cheng waved to Gan Xiaoning who was smiling at the moment.
"Battalion Commander!" Gan Xiaoning thought Gao Cheng would reward him with something, such as whether his request for a vacation would be approved.
Seeing Gan Xiaoning approaching, Gao Cheng kicked him and said, "You idiot, you are playing tricks on me and trying to fool me~"
"Battalion Commander, I was wrong~" Gan Xiaoning, who was kicked, said quickly to beg for mercy.
"Go, stand at attention on the deck. Stand still until there is any enemy!"
Yes~
Not only did he not get the reward, but he also got himself into trouble. Gan Xiaoning walked out of the command cabin feeling aggrieved, and went to stand at attention on the deck.
"Sit~"
Gao Cheng pointed to the chair next to him.
"yes!"
Jiang Shui and Gao Cheng sat down next to each other.
"Didn't you retire from the army? Why are you wearing a military uniform again now? And a lieutenant?" Gao Cheng was full of doubts.
"Company commander..." Jiang Shui hesitated and looked away.
Gao Cheng understood and turned to the soldiers in the command cabin and said, "Go outside and stand guard!"
"yes!"
Several soldiers left together and closed the hatch.
"Go ahead~"
Since there was no one else around, Gao Cheng took out a cigarette and threw one to Jiang Shui.
Jiang Shui paused, but still took it, then looked at Gao Cheng and said, "Captain, fire... "
"???"
Gao Cheng took out a fire and said in confusion: "Do you still have the shame to ask for cigarettes and fire?"
"You gave me the cigarette!"
Jiang Shui secretly despised him in his heart, and explained, "Hasn't he given up long ago?"
"Have you quit smoking?" Gao Cheng handed the light to Jiang Shui.
“Pah~”
Jiang Shui lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. The familiar taste of nicotine invaded his taste buds again, circulated in his lungs, and was exhaled again.
"I won't smoke anymore after I retire from the army!" Jiang Shui's expression was a little gloomy.
"What do you mean?" Gao Cheng asked as he also started smoking.
Jiang Shui exhaled another puff of smoke and said, "I just don't want to smoke anymore!"
Gao Cheng frowned: "When did you become so fussy? This is not your character!"
Jiang Shui smiled bitterly and explained: "After going through great storms, people will always change!"
"So you're joining the army again?" Gao Cheng asked.
"right!"
Jiang Shui nodded and said, "Yes, I joined the army for the second time and went to the Southeast Military Region."
"southeast?"
no.
You've already joined the army in the Southeast Military Region, why are you here now?
Three big question marks appeared in Gao Cheng’s head.
"Our superiors arranged for us to come here to study!" Jiang Shui smacked his lips and said carefully.
"Oh!" A light flashed in Gao Cheng's eyes. It seemed that this kid was inconvenient to speak.
"Then what's the matter with your promotion?" Gao Cheng asked, pointing at Jiang Shui's military rank.
"This is what happened. During the last exercise, I took down the Blue Army's headquarters, and then I was promoted directly!" Jiang Shui said with some pride, saying to the company commander, "Look, company commander, how powerful the soldiers you lead are."
“…”
Gao Cheng scratched his hair and said, "You kid, just keep targeting their command center, right?"
Thinking about the military exercise between the 7th Steel Company and Old A, where Jiang Shui killed their top commander, Gao Cheng couldn't accept it. Does the command center belong to you, and you can do whatever you want?
Why can't I encounter such good things?
After resolving his doubts, Gao Cheng looked at Jiang Shui and asked, "That's not right. Didn't they say there were three of us this time? Why are you the only one now?"
"broken!"
Jiang Shui quickly stood up and said, "They are still on the deck. I'll go call them!"
With that, Jiang Shui hurried away.
“……”Gao Cheng was speechless: Why don’t you forget about yourself?
Soon, Jiang Shui brought Gao Dazhuang and Lei Zhan who were waiting on the deck. After introducing each other, they started new research on this exercise.
Yes, new research.
When Jiang Shui appeared, Gao Cheng felt that this exercise was unusual, so he asked Jiang Shui: "Who is our opponent this time?"
"Old, friend~" Jiang Shui hinted rhythmically.
"!"
Old A.
Gao Cheng reacted instantly and his expression became serious.
When one of Old A's squads faced his fully-strength 7th Steel Company, the casualty ratio was only one to nine. You have to know that every member of the 7th Steel Company was a fierce land tiger.
But what is the result?
Old A still made me feel inferior.
If Jiang Shui had not been a loner at the time, had not liked to act alone, and had not found Old A's command post by accident, their 7th Steel Company would not have had the confidence to raise their heads.
Things change all the time. Today, I faced Old A again.
Gao Cheng naturally also wanted to fight a good battle.
But he knew that it would not work just relying on himself and the division reconnaissance battalion because of the huge gap in strength. So, he could only place his hopes on Jiang Shui and the other two.
Therefore, Gao Cheng directly canceled the previous deployment and began to discuss with Jiang Shui and the other two what kind of combat layout to use to deal with Lao A.
