After Tian Niu finished speaking, Xiaozhou didn’t respond for a long while.
"I’m talking to you, hurry up and go!" Tian Niu waved his hand at him.
Xiaozhou pointed at his own mouth, indicating he couldn’t speak.
"I really want to hit you! You don’t follow proper orders, but you take this bullshit order seriously," Tian Niu turned his head and cursed at him.
Once the order was given, Xiaozhou finally could speak, "This bullshit order was given by you. If anyone is to blame, it’s you!"
"Hey, don’t get cocky! Quickly go and report the situation!" after saying this, Tian Niu fiercely kicked Xiaozhou’s butt.
Xiaozhou promptly reported the situation to Qin Jian.
After a moment of thought, Qin Jian issued an order, "The entire reconnaissance company must quietly infiltrate the enemy camp. Bring me their headquarters. The rest of the troops should gradually expose themselves to distract the Blue Army’s firepower."
Just as Qin Jian had estimated, on the morning of Friday, Tian Niu led the reconnaissance company stealthily into the enemy’s headquarters.
"Ten o’clock direction, twelve o’clock direction... hold all those positions..."
The enemy’s deputy regimental commander, acting as the chief commander, was issuing orders when he suddenly saw enemy soldiers rushing in.
He was stupefied for three seconds.
Three seconds later, he accepted reality.
Alright, their headquarters had been taken by the enemy first.
Three signal flares were launched into the sky as the signal for the end of the exercise.
The enemy’s deputy regimental commander and chief of staff were taken as prisoners, and during the capture of the headquarters, one of their battalion commanders was dissatisfied with Tian Niu’s actions.
"What’s your position? What rank are you? How can you capture our deputy regimental commander and chief of staff!"
The man spoke with a confrontational attitude, probably feeling humiliated by the situation, which made his words sound unpleasant.
Tian Niu usually strutted around like he owned the place, and besides Qin Jian, he didn’t respect anyone.
Seeing that the other side’s leaders hadn’t spoken yet, one battalion commander had already started talking, and Tian Niu wasn’t about to give him face, "On the battlefield, during the conflict between enemies, the defeated side gets captured. Should I ask what your rank is? If you’re a regimental commander, do I really need to get a division commander to escort you back?"
"Hey, comrade, your words are quite unpleasant. I mean, there’s no need for the leaders to raise their hands, it looks too bad."
"This is an exercise, the equivalent of a battlefield. You’re the defeated army, what right do you have to negotiate conditions with me?" Tian Niu shut down the battalion commander with a single sentence.
As he was walking back, feeling triumphant, he accidentally stepped on an animal trap.
"Ow~" Tian Niu screamed, "What’s with the animal trap in the headquarters?"
There was an uproar throughout the army, the battalion commander on the other side could hardly contain his tears of laughter, "This is poetic justice! This trap was found in the mountains, as we get a lot of mountain rats around here at night, and we were afraid they would gnaw through the wires of our equipment. So we used it not to catch rats. We haven’t caught a single mountain rat, but we caught a ’dumb rat’ instead."
Luckily, the trap was old and no longer as strong as it once was, or else it might have snapped off Tian Niu’s toes.
Both armies converged, and the division commander arrived in a jeep to announce the end of the exercise.
Through this exercise, the division commander realized that Qin Jian was indeed a rare military talent.
Under his well-organized command, the exercise ended ahead of schedule, and they won the exercise with the lowest casualty and loss ratio.
Moreover, there was a difference in the combat capabilities of the infantry regiments of both sides, and the fact that the Red side with Qin Jian could win was truly incredible.
This could only illustrate one point, Qin Jian’s command was very exquisite.
With the exercise concluded ahead of time, the entire army triumphantly returned to the regiment headquarters a hundred miles away. There was an internal celebration that night, which Qin Jian couldn’t even attend as he directly rushed back to his dormitory to call An Hao.
