Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 369 A Man of Steel Rejected? I, Zhao Ruilong, Must Respect Warriors!

"All of you, stay put! Don't look around! You're all dead!"

"So what if we're killed in action? If we weren't outnumbered, we would have wiped out your entire camp!"

"Aren't you short of men? A reinforced armored division, more than 10,000 men, several thousand more than us!"

"If you hadn't launched a drone attack right at the start, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."

"What do you mean by 'sneak attack'? The exercise had already begun when we launched our operation; you couldn't defend yourselves!"

"So you couldn't stop us tonight either? Such a big camp, and the defenses were so lax. Looks like you guys aren't all that great!"

"We're nothing special, but we still managed to wipe you all out, didn't we?"

"If a war really breaks out, it's not certain who will kill whom!"

"Ha, if it were a real war, you would all be dead by now!"

"you!!"

Gan Xiaoning was left speechless by the rebuttal.

Just as he was about to retort, Shi Jin stopped him with a look.

They would infiltrate from daytime until dawn, then launch an attack when the opportune moment arrived.

The intense travel that lasted for more than ten hours had already left me physically and mentally exhausted.

Now that it has been declared 'dead,' it can finally take a good rest.

But even if the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company were 'killed in action,' they wouldn't just lie on the ground and wait to be taken away by a vehicle.

They stood ramrod straight, each holding a rifle in both hands, ready to continue bayoneting.

The Blue Army soldiers guarding them were naturally furious.

No one expected that they would be caught off guard in the middle of the night in the rear.

What was even more unexpected was that although the opponent's equipment was not very good, their teamwork was excellent and their skills were superb.

In a situation where visibility was not very good, the close combat lasted only a few dozen seconds.

They actually killed more than twenty people right inside the camp.

The directing staff also determined that the grenades they threw destroyed seven vehicles.

This also includes a tactical communications network support vehicle, which has significant tactical value.

More than 20 people were "sacrificed" and seven tanks were "damaged".

The company responsible for guarding the camp was naturally in a very embarrassing situation.

Throughout the entire exercise, it is estimated that the Blue Team will suffer the greatest casualties by the end.

The fact that even the rear camp could be attacked and suffer heavy losses suggests that the consequences would be dire.

Being publicly criticized or given a demerit would probably be the least of their worries.

His military career could end because of this.

So the way they looked at Shi Jin, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi, and the others was, of course, quite indignant.

They're so eager to 'whip the corpse' that they naturally can't provide supplies.

I'd rather see Xu Sanduo and the others thirsty and dry, their lips chapped.

Zhao Ruilong naturally couldn't stand by and watch this scene unfold.

Back when I was watching the TV series "Soldiers Sortie," I wasn't particularly impressed by Xu Sanduo, who seemed foolish but actually had a great talent for learning and gradually grew into a king of soldiers.

The most regrettable thing is that Wu Liuyi, who is particularly strong-willed, broke his leg when he participated in the Old A selection. Xu Sanduo insisted on carrying him to the finish line. In order not to be a burden to Xu Sanduo, he lit the survival baton and chose to give up.

The most heartbreaking story is that of our good squad leader Shi Jin, who guarded the capital for many years but never saw it once. His wish before leaving the army was to see it one last time. As the car drove through the bustling streets, tears blurred his vision like a burst dam.

They are both still alive now.

They lost this exercise.

But they lost with great backbone and spirit.

Even though the exercise had just begun, they suffered heavy losses.

There was no communication command, no supply vehicles, and no logistical support.

The straight-line distance from where they were attacked to here is more than 30 kilometers!

Even walking in a straight line for more than 30 kilometers can leave you exhausted.

The reason the Blue Team's rear was set up here is because it is far enough away and relatively safe.

But what about Xu Sanduo and the others?

They were able to evade the drones in the sky, bypass the blockade, and avoid the Blue Army's forward combat units.

They relied solely on their own two legs to outflank and penetrate deep into the Blue Army's rear, launching a surprise attack in the early morning.

What an indomitable will of steel!

What incredible individual combat skills this demonstrates!

Do not abandon, do not give up!

Such an indomitable spirit is truly not just empty talk.

They truly inherited the fighting spirit of their predecessors, unafraid of sacrifice!

They truly dared to fight to the last man! To the very last moment!

Even if they knew they were doomed to lose the exercise.

This did not hinder their long journey at all, like a sharp knife piercing the rear of the Blue Army.

Even if they knew that rushing in would inevitably mean certain death.

But those five dared to break in and even achieved considerable success.

If they had better communication equipment to contact the rear.

Fortunately, the Red Army also had long-range rocket artillery available.

Then report the coordinates to guide a wave of long-range fire support.

The Blues' rear base has now completely disappeared.

and so……

In Zhao Ruilong's view.

They lost; they were 'killed'.

However, the only reason for the loss was that the overall equipment was not good enough, and it still belonged to the backward mechanized era.

Their fighting spirit and individual soldier skills far surpassed those of the Blue Army soldiers guarding the camp.

Such a brave and tenacious five-man team from the Seventh Steel Company should not be denied even a sip of water.

Just as he was about to go up and ask the Blue Army soldiers to bring him some water.

Upon seeing Battalion Commander Kong and his group rushing over, Zhao Ruilong hurriedly went to greet them.

"Battalion Commander Kong!"

"Hey, Mr. Zhao! Are you...are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but those few Red Army soldiers, they really did a great job breaking through layers of blockades and flanking to get here."

"Yes, they fought quite well. I really didn't expect that there would be such tenacious soldiers in the Red Army!"

"Could we get them some food and drink? Even in a real war, our army has always treated prisoners of war well. Besides, this is just a combat exercise. We are all soldiers defending our country!"

After Zhao Ruilong finished speaking...

In an instant, I felt a deathly silence all around me.

Many people cast surprised glances at them.

But Zhao Ruilong didn't care what others thought.

Battalion Commander Kong looked at the five Red Army soldiers dressed in old-fashioned camouflage uniforms, wearing rubber-soled shoes, and carrying Type 81 rifles.

In contrast, their own soldiers wore better camouflage uniforms and training boots, and carried new assault rifles.

It's hard to believe that these five poorly equipped men were able to infiltrate and infiltrate near their own camp, launch an attack, and achieve considerable success.

Zhao Ruilong was not only the head of the Blue Army's information technology support team in this exercise, but he is also said to have a close relationship with General Lu Changsheng...

Zhao Ruilong has spoken, and what he said makes perfect sense.

If I don't agree, wouldn't I seem petty?

"Go get them bread and milk! And a case of bottled water too!"

"Also, call a medic over to give them a check-up!"

Military orders are like mountains.

Since Battalion Commander Kong had given the order, naturally no one dared to disobey.

Taking a few steps forward, Battalion Commander Kong sized up the five men.

"Could you tell me which unit you belong to?"

"Reporting to the battalion commander, we are from the 702nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment."

"You guys are so good at infiltration operations, you must be scouts, right?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander, we are from the third squad of the first platoon of the reconnaissance company."

"Could the reconnaissance company of the 702nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment be the Steel Seventh Company?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander, we are the Steel Seventh Company!"

"Good, good, good, good."

Battalion Commander Kong nodded repeatedly and then smiled:

"Now that you have gloriously completed your mission, please sit down instead of standing!"

"The directing staff probably didn't expect you guys to be able to infiltrate and get this far, so the recovery vehicle will have to wait a while longer!"

"Sit down, sit down! You must be exhausted from all the flanking maneuvers today. Now it's time to put down your guns, take off your helmets, and get some rest!"

Shi Jin shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Battalion Commander, but we're not tired yet, no need to sit!"

Battalion Commander Kong laughed and said, "You don't want to sit on the ground, do you? Fine, someone go and get five folding chairs!"

At that moment, three Blue Army soldiers came running up.

One person was carrying a box of bread and milk, while the other was carrying a case of bottled water.

The medic, wearing a Red Cross armband, was also carrying an emergency medical kit.

"Drink some water to soothe your throats first, and let the medical staff check you all up."

"If everything is alright, let's eat something else and fill our stomachs!"

Soon, the five people, after being examined, sat down and began to eat slowly.

Zhao Ruilong estimated that it wasn't just because the sanitation worker had told him not to eat too fast.

Also, because they couldn't possibly wolf down their food in front of the Blues.

Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Seventh Steel Company?

After everyone had eaten for a short while, Battalion Commander Kong asked curiously:

"I'm really curious, how did you manage to find your way here?"

"It's not difficult to evade drone reconnaissance from the sky, but we haven't achieved full-area, all-time coverage."

"But how did you manage to bypass our forward combat troops and evade both overt and covert observation and sentry posts?"

Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, Gan Xiaoning, and Bai Tiejun all seemed not to hear anything, focusing only on eating.

They clearly weren't unaware of what was happening, but rather, having already 'sacrificed' themselves, they had neither the will nor the need to answer the 'enemy's' questions.

The simple-minded Xu Sanduo naturally didn't have so many concerns.

He flashed his signature goofy grin, his bright white teeth quite eye-catching.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, I brought them here."

“I used to be in the fifth squad of the third company of our regiment, and I was responsible for guarding this training ground.”

"Our class's main task is to look after and maintain the fuel supply equipment. In order to build a road for the camp, I ran around every day, picking up stones and carrying them back, just like a weighted cross-country run."

"So I am extremely familiar with this training ground. I know exactly where the mountains are, where the trees are, and even where the puddles and ditches are. It is not difficult for me to sneak over here."

As soon as Xu Sanduo finished speaking, someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this cheating?"

Battalion Commander Kong quickly turned his head and glanced around.

"Who said there was cheating? Who?"

Is there such a thing as fairness in war?

"If we're really talking about cheating, wouldn't it be considered cheating if we used more advanced IT equipment than them?"

"You yourselves failed in your defensive and vigilance duties and got ambushed, so you want to blame others for being familiar with the terrain, is that it?"

"If a real war breaks out, and the enemy is familiar with the terrain and has advanced equipment, and you get wiped out, can you blame the enemy for cheating? Can you?"

After the reprimand, Battalion Commander Kong seemed even angrier.

"What are you all still standing here for? Go back and write your self-criticisms!"
