Chapter 23: Dog-Head Gao About to Get Slapped in the Face

Dog-Head Gao immediately thought there must be danger, but this is the military district; which suicidal terrorist would come here?

Could it be that I will get slapped in the face on this trip? That's even more impossible; those people are still rookies now, how could they be my match?

At this moment, Platoon Leader Miao called Zhang Chu'an, Chen Pai, and Guo Jing over.

"This time the leader is here for an inspection. I see the skill level of your two platoons is not bad; this time, you two will handle it."

After Miao finished speaking, he sighed, "Every year, the leaders choose old soldiers who are almost like veterans for their inspections. The rules for this year must be changed. Tomorrow's report will be conducted by the new recruits from your two platoons."

"I just want them to see what quality the new recruits I, Old Miao, lead have. I don't require you to be the best, but you cannot be the worst."

"Rest assured, Company Commander. The soldiers of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company will definitely be the best."

Zhang Chu'an and Guo Jing responded loudly.

On the second day, Dog-Head Gao followed the military district leaders to inspect the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company. After seeing the commander and Dog-Head Gao get out of the car, Platoon Leader Miao saluted the commander, and then Dog-Head Gao, who had just gotten out of the car, came to Miao's side and whispered, "Always ready."

"Always ready."

Platoon Leader Miao also whispered.

The two old comrades-in-arms could not avoid some small talk upon meeting.

Afterwards, the commander in front said to Platoon Leader Miao behind him, "Then let's begin."

Afterwards, Chen Pai in front of the troops issued the order: "Group One, step forward."

Xiao Zhuang, Chen Xiwa, and others slowly ran to the targets. The military district commander, with great interest, asked Platoon Leader Miao, "They are all privates; why does your company, Old Miao, have no one else?"

Platoon Leader Miao immediately explained, "Privates are also soldiers of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, Minister. If you want to understand the true situation of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, privates reflect the truth the best."

Hearing Platoon Leader Miao's explanation, Minister Zhao chuckled, "Good, this is new. This is the first time I have seen a report by privates. Begin."

Afterwards, Platoon Leader Miao said "Begin" to the front, and Chen Pai also issued the command for multi-target shooting. Chen Xiwa and others quickly made preparations.

With Chen Pai's shout of "Begin"

Xiao Zhuang and others quickly charged forward and shot. Their movements were fast and skilled, and every shot hit the ten-ring, causing Minister Zhao to exclaim to Platoon Leader Miao beside him, "Old Miao, the people shooting at the targets are all new recruits."

"Yes, new recruits."

Platoon Leader Miao was very happy at this moment.

The target practice ended quickly. Xiwa, Xiao Zhuang, and the others all hit the ten-ring. This result made Minister Zhao question Platoon Leader Miao beside him, "Old Miao, did you not swap veterans for ranks to fool me?"

Hearing the Minister's question, Platoon Leader Miao quickly explained, "Minister, you know my character; would I go so far?"

After hearing this, Minister Zhao smiled at Platoon Leader Miao, "Let them run over."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Platoon Leader Miao loudly commanded the group shooting at the targets, "All of you, run over to me."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhuang and Xiwa slowly ran to the front of Platoon Leader Miao and Minister Zhao. Afterwards, Minister Zhao pointed at Xiao Zhuang and asked, "You, how old are you?"

"Eighteen."

Xiao Zhuang shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Minister Zhao praised, "Good, the young are to be feared. You are the youngest rapid-fire sharpshooter I have ever seen."

"Thank you, Commander."

Platoon Leader Miao, excited on the side, introduced to Minister Zhao beside him, "This kid was a university student before enlisting; he studied art."

Minister Zhao immediately became interested, "Oh, you are the university student recruit who was rumored to have beaten the squad leader."

Although Guo Jing had resolved the grudge between the two of them, during the three months, Xiao Zhuang and Sergeant Lao Pao, these two powder kegs, still fought, and Xiao Zhuang, who was slightly superior in stamina to Sergeant Lao Pao, beat him up.

At this moment, Xiao Zhuang was extremely awkward, but he still forced himself to say, "Yes."

After hearing this, Minister Zhao smiled and looked down, "Good, work hard. I will continue to pay attention to you."

Hearing the commander say this, Xiao Zhuang beamed with joy, "Thank you, Commander."

Afterwards, Minister Zhao said to Dog-Head Gao behind him, "Squad Leader Gao."

"Here," Dog-Head Gao immediately responded.

"Look, how about this soldier joining your Special Operations Brigade?"

Minister Zhao asked.

Facing Minister Zhao's question, Dog-Head Gao shouted loudly:

"Report! The special forces have a strict selection procedure; this is an order you personally signed three years ago. You once said that the Langya Special Operations Brigade is a spearhead unit, a unit that exists to throw itself into war at any time, and cannot be filled with backdoor soldiers or connection soldiers. I believe the commander will not break the rules he himself set."

Dog-Head Gao's words ignited the anger of the entire Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company. Guo Jing, hearing Dog-Head Gao's words from the back row, had a bitter look on his face. Previously, he had thought that if Gao Shu didn't come to challenge the company, he wouldn't need to slap Gao Shu in the face on behalf of his own company.

He wondered how he hadn't noticed Gao Shu had such an arrogant side before. As for why Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an were in the back row, it was because Platoon Leader Miao thought Guo Jing and Dog-Head Gao were relatively familiar; if Guo Jing was there, Dog-Head Gao wouldn't provoke.

Platoon Leader Miao's face beside Minister Zhao turned ugly, and Xiao Zhuang also looked displeased, muttering lowly, "I don't want it anyway."

Minister Zhao immediately asked, "What did you just say?"

Xiao Zhuang immediately reported loudly, "My meaning is, since the commander of the special forces is here, can the commander show us a move so that the new recruits of our Reconnaissance Company can also open their eyes?"

After hearing this, Minister Zhao said to Dog-Head Gao behind him, "Squad Leader Gao, people don't believe you anymore."

Dog-Head Gao sneered, "I listen to the commander."

After hearing this, Minister Zhao nodded, "Then exchange skills with them and have a match."

Dog-Head Gao immediately agreed, "Good, since the commander said so, we will exchange skills."

After finishing, he asked Platoon Leader Miao behind him, "Old Miao, do you have any beer bottles?"

Platoon Leader Miao immediately said, "Yes, that pile over there, used for hammers."

Dog-Head Gao said to Platoon Leader Miao, "Call two soldiers to help me throw them."

Hearing this, Platoon Leader Miao whispered to Dog-Head Gao, "Old Gao, you've come to my territory to challenge the company."

Dog-Head Gao immediately whispered a provocation to Platoon Leader Miao, "What, are you afraid?"

After hearing this, Platoon Leader Miao laughed, "What kind of talk is that?"

Afterwards, he commanded two privates, "You two, prepare the beer bottles."

Watching the two privates go prepare the beer bottles, Guo Jing's expression was complex; he felt that after Gao Shu's demonstration, he would be especially embarrassed, and most importantly, Guo Jing himself would be the person Gao Shu was most embarrassed by.

Gou Tou Lao Gao rolled up his sleeves and said to Xiao Zhuang, "Since this is an exchange, use your rifle."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang took down his rifle and handed it to Gou Tou Lao Gao, saying, "I calibrated this rifle myself; give it a try."

"No need. Firing a gun isn't done with the eyes."

After Gou Tou Lao Gao finished speaking, he pointed to his own eyes, then patted his chest: "Rely on this."

Guo Jing in the back row, upon hearing this, looked anxious and thought inwardly, "I beg you, Gao Shu, please stop talking. I never realized you were so arrogant before. The key is, the more arrogant you are now, the more embarrassed you will be in a moment."
