Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1186 Three things to do when a new official takes office

"It's here!"

The command vehicle drove up to the tent, and before it had even come to a complete stop, Lü Chong eagerly opened the door and got out.

Sun Quan and other brigade commanders followed him toward the tent.

"report!"

Inside, Wei Shanhe was already waiting, along with a young man whose back was to them.

But when the man turned around, smiled, and returned their greeting, everyone was stunned.

Wei Shanhe, with a cold face, introduced, "Qin Feng is now the director of the military training department. He will be in charge of this assessment. I am just observing."

Qin Feng: "Old brigade commander, it's been a while."

Lu Chong's eyelids twitched wildly. It made sense now; everything had become reasonable.

In the past, any exercises or training sessions were usually announced in advance.

At the very least, the brigade headquarters should receive the information one to two hours in advance so that the urgent order can be passed down.

Never before has there been such a sudden attack that left everyone completely bewildered, especially the silent dismantling of the command post at the grassroots level.

Lu Chong took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible, "Qin Feng, you're really ruthless, giving me such a big surprise right from the start."

Qin Feng said calmly, "I hope it doesn't turn into a fright later."

Upon hearing this, Sun Quan immediately flew into a rage: "Director Qin, you're a former member of a combined arms brigade, this is just too dishonest! You arranged for people to destroy our grassroots command post overnight, and now you're suddenly mobilizing again, isn't this clearly an attempt to embarrass us?"

Qin Feng glanced at him coldly, and Sun Quan's momentum instantly weakened.

Back when he was the chief of staff of the 402nd Regiment, Qin Feng was still a new recruit.

At that time, the entire recruit company was angered because Chen Sanxi had stolen dog food.

Xu Tiancai was sent out to teach Qin Feng a lesson in the three-kilometer test, but he didn't expect Qin Feng to use a rabbit tactic to outmaneuver him.

Despite this, Qin Feng was still just a greenhorn at the time, and even though he had some intelligence, it was not enough for Qin Feng to take seriously.

Time has passed, and now Qin Feng just stands there, and with just a glance, Sun Quan feels a strange sense of psychological pressure.

Qin Feng said calmly, "I hope you won't have any prejudice against me. My job is to formulate training plans and prepare for competitions and assessments. My superiors have asked me to conduct an inspection of the 33rd Combined Arms Brigade, and this is the only thing I can do."

"Of course, it wasn't me who annihilated your grassroots command post and beheaded your commander, but the famous Lei Bao Special Forces."

"Damn it, it really was those bastards!"

On their way here, they were speculating about who possessed such terrifying power.

They were able to dismantle the command structure of the vast majority of their grassroots units overnight.

It should be noted that although the 33rd Combined Arms Brigade was slightly lax in its defense, it was by no means an easy target for some nobodies.

If a regular reconnaissance soldier comes, he will most likely be exposed and riddled with bullets. Only a proper special forces soldier has the skill and ability to do that.

Initially, they suspected that the situation might have been undermined from within, such as the defection of Li Jiasheng and Zhou Fujun, or that some rank-and-file soldiers might have been turned.

But they quickly dismissed the idea, because it was completely unnecessary, and even if they wanted to succeed, it would be extremely difficult.

In contrast, Lei Bao's entire brigade specializes in secret infiltration and decapitation strikes; only this group of people has the capability to do so.

Seeing the group of people getting angry, Qin Feng, who was always eager to stir things up, added fuel to the fire: "They've sent out the elite of the elite this time, which is quite a show of respect."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's just announce the assessment content."

"The requirement is that the entire 33rd Combined Arms Brigade be assembled by 7:00 AM; subsequently, conduct precision artillery strikes on targets in areas a, b, c, and d."

"Then the entire team advanced, using infantry and tank coordination to traverse the minefield, and removed the mobile targets. They then proceeded 10 kilometers to the second site..."

The first few were fine, but when Qin Feng said that he still needed to travel ten kilometers to the second venue.

The thought that they might encounter artillery attacks from unknown hostile forces along the way, and that they would need to take countermeasures, instantly dampened everyone's spirits.

Just what I feared most has come to pass. This isn't an assessment; it's a public execution of their 33rd Combined Arms Brigade!

After announcing the order, Qin Feng handed over the assessment materials to Lü Chong and instructed him to carry them out according to the plan.

The military will use drones to monitor the assessment process in real time.

Meanwhile, each venue has officers from the training department responsible for maintaining order to ensure the smooth conduct of the assessment process.

The underlying meaning of this statement is: Sorry, the whole process is monitored, you can't cheat, and you can't get help from other units.

On the way out of the tent, Lü Chong carefully reviewed the assessment materials without saying a word.

But the others were filled with anger, and those who knew Qin Feng, like Sun Quan, directly cursed him.

"A petty person has gotten ahead, what a damn petty person has gotten ahead!"

"Brigade Commander, did you see Qin Feng's face earlier?"

"If we hadn't promoted him back then, if you hadn't done everything you could to help him, would he be where he is today, as the head of the training department?"

"They say a new broom sweeps clean, but he shows no regard for past relationships and has turned his anger on us. What is this? He's using us as a pledge of loyalty to add another luster to his military career!"

Lu Chong stopped and looked back at the people who had been cursing the most.

"Have you said enough? Have you talked enough?"

"..."

"Did Qin Feng do anything wrong? No, he did nothing wrong. He was ensuring the combat capability of the troops and testing the responsiveness of the front-line combat troops in the face of emergencies!"

“I don’t hate him, nor do I resent him. On the contrary, I should thank him! So many of you, over so many days, couldn’t find any problems, but he exposed all the problems in one night!”

"Why can't the combat readiness pilot program be pushed forward? Why did a certain division of the H Group Army fail? Instead of looking for the reasons within themselves, they only blame others!"

"The phrase 'ace team' sounds good and is impressive, but it's also a double-edged sword!"

"Do you really think that just because we won a battle against a professional opposing force and conduct regular drills with the Yunnan Armed Police, we're invincible?"

"Big mistake!"

Lu Chong's spittle flew everywhere, leaving everyone speechless with his insults.

He returned to the command vehicle and said coldly, "Now, the most important issue is how to ensure the smooth conduct of the assessment and how to pass this test!"

"We are soldiers, soldiers of Yan State. We are not afraid of making mistakes, but we are afraid of refusing to admit them even if it means death! There is no smooth sailing on the battlefield. Stumbling and struggling are the real combat training!"

"Now, everyone take your positions and perform your duties. Immediately pass down the battle orders ahead of schedule!"

"Yes!"

......

In the command center, Wei Shanhe wasn't in a much better mood either.

Although many problems were found in the combined arms brigade, it also severely embarrassed Lü Chong.

One was his comrade-in-arms and brother who had risked his life for him.

The other was his most prized soldier, and also the hope for the future of the war zone.

He's got his hands on both, how can he choose?
