Chapter 165: Leader’s Inspection, Chang Ning’s Mischief
The next morning, Geng Jihui brought his comrades to the armory to collect their equipment for the exercise. The list had already been sent to logistics the night before. With He Zhijun greeting in advance, everything needed by Chang Ning and B Group was given priority supply at logistics all the way with green lights and smooth passage.
“This gun is so cool!”
Picking up the HK416 he had been longing for, Chang Ning stared at it for a long time, his eyes now only on the gun.
He now couldn’t wait to test fire it. Of course, on site, he was not the only one with this idea.
Everyone in Lone Wolf B Group who got their new gun wanted to try out their new partner without exception.
They had to master the weapon equipment in hand at the fastest speed, after all, the confrontation training was about to begin today.
If they ended up performing poorly on the training ground due to not understanding the performance of the gun in hand, that would be a huge embarrassment, they wouldn’t even have the face to stay in Wolf Fang.
“Don’t just look at the guns, come over and get bullets and magazines.
Load your own weapon, compress the bullets yourself.”
Seeing everyone engrossed in playing with the new weapons, Geng Jihui stepped forward to remind them.
After being reminded by the captain, everyone then went to the ammunition box one after another, picked up the magazines placed nearby, and began loading bullets into them.
This time’s opponent was Lone Wolf A Group, and Chang Ning took it very seriously. He brought a full six magazines. He didn’t bring loose bullets because they were too troublesome, and once firefight started, he wouldn’t have time to load bullets.
Although Chang Ning had the system’s “Firearm Mastery” skill bonus and could achieve 100% hit rate when shooting at targets, when shooting at people, he couldn’t make every bullet hit.
“Take your respective weapons, I’ll lead you to the shooting range.”
The person in charge of the armory didn’t know what these people in front of him were up to, as the entire team was using foreign military weapons.
Based on past experience, whenever this happened, the missions they carried out were generally not simple, most of them overseas.
However, in a unit like Wolf Fang, the secrecy order had permeated every part of the body. Even if he was shocked by the level of the mission this group was carrying out, he couldn’t casually inquire.
As soon as everyone heard they could now go to the shooting range to fire guns, they eagerly followed, muttering that Captain Gao’s arrangement was really thoughtful.
This was a dedicated shooting range belonging to the logistics armory, because the comrades in charge of the armory often needed to test the stocked equipment, so a small shooting range was specially set up for them.
“Bang bang bang bang.”
After Chang Ning and the others arrived, gunshots instantly rang out loudly in the small shooting range.
Everyone showed great tacit understanding, spacing themselves three to five meters apart and each beginning to test fire.
Two things happening at once, we’ll describe each in turn.
At the same time, He Da Dui led Wolf Fang’s leadership team to stand downstairs of the office building and welcomed in an old man in military uniform with general’s stars on his shoulders who had just gotten off the car.
“Ah, old leader, you’ve finally come. Welcome to Wolf Fang to guide the work.”
He Zhijun smiled broadly as he looked at He Commander.
“You, He Zhijun, don’t play these little tricks with me. If you mess up today, even if I speak well for you Wolf Fang at the meeting, it won’t help.”
With the words said this far, how could He Zhijun not discern the leader’s meaning. So he subtly glanced at the lieutenant colonel beside the leader; it was a new face.
Seeing this, He Zhijun roughly guessed what was going on.
That lieutenant colonel was, without surprise, not from their Southeast Military Region at all, very likely sent down by military headquarters for an investigation.
Thinking of this, He Zhijun felt bitter inside and could only pin his hopes on Chang Ning and B Group not dropping the ball.
“Rest assured, leader, over these many years, I, He Zhijun, have always been reliable in handling matters.”
With things having come to this, he had no way out. So, He Zhijun said with a serious expression. At this point, all he could do was unconditionally trust Xiao Gao and Lone Wolf.
“I hope so.”
He Commander gave He Zhijun a deep look.
He Zhijun had bet everything, and he was no different. Wolf Fang was not only He Zhijun’s painstaking effort, but he was also about to retire. Logically, he shouldn’t get involved in these matters, but he couldn’t rest easy if he didn’t.
“When does the confrontation start?”
Inside the office, the lieutenant colonel who came with He Commander, sitting on the sofa, didn’t even take a sip of water and asked He Zhijun right after sitting down.
“Anytime.”
After seeing the old leader arrive and just holding the teacup watching as if the ordinary teacup in hand was some rare treasure, He Zhijun knew this inspection was led by the lieutenant colonel in front of him, and this person’s background was definitely not simple.
“In that case, I hope to start as soon as possible without disrupting your plan. I still have to visit several special operations captains, so please forgive me.”
Although the lieutenant colonel’s tone was quite stiff, he was still very polite.
“No problem at all. We will definitely actively cooperate with your work. This is our red vs. blue confrontation plan, you can take a look.”
After handing one plan each to He Commander and the lieutenant colonel, He Zhijun walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and notified that the confrontation training could begin.
Immediately after, a curtain slowly appeared on the wall opposite the desk, and the projector transmitted the situation on the training ground in real time, allowing the leaders to keep abreast of the on-site situation at all times.
As the protagonists, Chang Ning and B Group were still unaware that their every move was being watched by the leaders through the monitor.
“This is your thing.”
The armory staff, following instructions from the earpiece, handed the unsigned letter received that morning to Geng Jihui.
“Thanks.”
Taking the letter, Geng Jihui thanked them.
The staff just smiled without speaking. He could tell there was nothing more for him to do, so he expressed his intention to leave to Geng Jihui.
Whether to leave or not was their freedom, and Geng Jihui certainly wouldn’t say anything.
After the staff left, Geng Jihui gathered everyone together and then opened the letter.
The letter had only one very short sentence, roughly saying to go to the given address to pick up their boss.
Here, boss meant hostage, after all, in the confrontation training, their persona was a group of well-equipped mercenaries from overseas.
“Chang Ning, what do you think?”
Although Chang Ning had not received professional formalized military command training, he often came up with eye-opening suggestions, so Geng Jihui valued Chang Ning’s opinion greatly, especially on such important occasions.
“Just stand and watch.”
Hearing Geng Jihui asking him, Chang Ning subconsciously joked.
Noticing the atmosphere turning off after, he then saw Geng Jihui’s “you’re kidding me” expression, and the others also showing incredulous looks.
They had never seen Chang Ning so playful before.
The reason was that even though Chang Ning usually liked to joke, he had never been so mischievous as just now.
“Cough cough~”
Knowing he had revealed some aspects of his personality, Chang Ning felt a bit embarrassed and quickly pretended to cough to cover it up and divert everyone’s attention.
