Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 43: A tragic victory amidst a crushing defeat
Gao Cheng was currently in the trench listening to the report from the "killed" squad leader. In fact, he didn't need to listen to the report, as he just pointed at the heads of the people lying there and knew that the Seventh Company was almost wiped out.

Wu Liuyi, who would rather die than bend, also detonated the grenade on his waist in the previous encounter, and died together with the two Old A's.

Alas, what a miserable defeat!
"Report to the company commander, we have captured a high-ranking official!" The company's cooking squad leader ran over to report.

There’s nothing we can do. We’ve tried our best and there’s no one left.

"What high-ranking official?"

Gao Cheng was not in a good mood after hearing the not-so-good report from the cook.

"He was a lieutenant colonel. Xu Sanduo captured him. Oh, and Chen Jiang and Shi Jin also contributed."

Good guy.

He's actually a lieutenant colonel?

Gao Cheng's expression finally changed. From the perspective of the 702nd Regiment, a lieutenant colonel was indeed a high-ranking officer.

"Let's go and meet him!"

Yuan Lang didn't look like a prisoner at all at this moment. He was lying lazily on the ground basking in the sun, drinking mineral water and clamoring for cigarettes from the people guarding him.

The 7th Steel Company is a unit with very strict military discipline. How could an ordinary soldier bring cigarettes to the training ground?

It wasn't until Gao Cheng arrived and saw how comfortable he was living that he was really furious.

If he hadn't seen the two bars and two stars on his shoulders, he really wanted to
"Do you have any cigarettes, Captain Gao?"

Gao Cheng heard that the other party actually knew him, but he racked his brains but could not remember any information about the other party.

But I grew up in the compound, so it is possible that they really know me.

So he took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"you know me?"

"Well, we have detailed information on every cadre above the platoon level, including your resume, preferences, etc."

When Gao Cheng heard this, his face darkened.

"Is there a fire?"

"no!"

Gao Cheng refused without thinking, but in fact, even an idiot would understand that he had cigarettes in his pocket, so how could he not have a lighter?
However, Yuan Lang could only smile awkwardly and put the cigarette on his right ear. After all, it was still in someone else's hand.

In order to relieve the embarrassment, he had to change the subject.
"The 7th Steel Company is truly extraordinary. Our casualties in a battle with your company are as high as 1:5. I can't afford to fight this battle."

"You exchange one for five of us, and you still say you can't afford to fight? Isn't that embarrassing for me?" Gao Cheng was successfully amused by him. In fact, he didn't know that if Chen Jiang hadn't appeared, the exchange ratio would have reached 1:9.

"This is the truth. We originally wanted one for ten, preferably with zero casualties." He whispered quietly into Gao Cheng's ear and said mysteriously, "I said this is the heaviest casualties our unit has suffered since its formation. Do you believe it?"

Gao Cheng was stunned. Judging from Yuan Lang's expression, what he said was very likely true.

"I want to know where you came from."

"Yuan Lang!" He said a piece of personal information.

"Where we came from!" Gao Cheng insisted on knowing.

"It's not a good idea to ask this, right? This violates the rules of the exercise." Yuan Lang didn't want to reveal too much information about the troops. After all, they were a unit that specialized in making trouble for people.

"Anyway, the exercise will be over in a while. Since you know my information, you should know that if I want to check, I will definitely be able to find it."

After hearing this, Yuan Lang smiled slightly.

He is a son of a general, and what he said is true.

So he could only whisper, "Old A."

Gao Cheng actually knew very little about this unit, having only heard his father mention it as the first special forces unit established by the entire group army. Losing to such a unit wouldn't be too unfair.

"Thanks!"

Gao Cheng walked away woodenly.

Yuan Lang didn't take it seriously. He looked at Xu Sanduo, whose hands were covered in blood, and Chen Jiang, who were staring at their equipment in a daze. So he walked over and asked,
"Do you like these equipment?"

"I like it!" Chen Jiang and Xu Sanduo both answered loudly.

"Do you want to?"

"This is military property!" Xu Sanduo was still so honest.

Chen Jiang replied: "What belongs to me is mine!"

Yuan Lang looked at the two people with completely different personalities and asked again,

"I'm asking if you two, and your squad leader, want to come to my place!"

When Yuan Lang was bored here, he had already figured out the situation of Class 3, so he knew that Shi Jin was also one of the top students who would compete against him.

Xu Sanduo glanced at Chen Jiang and Shi Jin behind him.

After a moment's thought, he answered loudly, "Report, I am the 4966th soldier of the 7th Steel Company!"

Yuan Lang didn't expect Xu Sanduo to answer like this, so he could only turn around and look at Shi Jin and Chen Jiang.

Shi Jin and the others actually didn't think of it either.

But since they asked, he and Chen Jiang answered in unison:
"Report, I am the 4811th soldier of the 7th Steel Company!"

"Report, I am the 4956th soldier of the 7th Steel Company!"

Yuan Lang smiled and stopped talking. He turned around and looked at Qi Huan who was driving an off-road vehicle to pick him up.
"Qi Huan, there's an old acquaintance of yours here!"

When Qi Huan saw him, he was surprised to see that it was Chen Jiang, so he came up to greet him enthusiastically.

But Chen Jiang just saluted him.

Qi Huan glanced at the angry expressions on the faces of the others and immediately understood what was going on.

Since our troops had beaten the enemy so badly, now was definitely not a good time to exchange pleasantries, so we could only return a solemn military salute.

Yuan Lang laughed and asked Qi Huan to send some "souvenirs" as a token of his appreciation. Qi Huan understood and took all the beer out of the car.

Then the two got in the car and drove away.

Gao Cheng just watched from the side without saying a word, not even a thank you.

Drinking after winning a battle is a good thing, but now the battle has become so bad, what's the point of drinking?
In the command center of the 702nd Regiment, all the officers and soldiers were smoking silently and no one was willing to speak.

Finally, Wang Qingrui pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said to himself,
"We lost. We couldn't defend, and we attacked in vain. We lost this battle, and the responsibility mainly lies with me."

The 702nd Regiment was the attacking side, and had an absolute advantage in numbers, with so many heavily armored troops, yet they ended up in such a mess.

The entire regiment suffered heavy casualties, but the number of Blue Army troops annihilated was very limited.

Although the Blue Army has several armed helicopters, is that an excuse for their defeat?
The other person actually fought against him, and the fight was very successful.

The most embarrassing thing is that I still don’t know where their command center and main force are.

"Captain, this time the main reason is that they didn't play by the rules, and they had air superiority." A staff officer nearby argued unconvinced.

"Nonsense!" Wang Qingrui put the teacup heavily on the table in displeasure, and the tea in the cup splashed around the edge.

"If you lose, you lose. On the battlefield, which enemy will play by the rules? Do you think they'll tell you when they'll attack and how they'll attack? Only a nerd would do that!"
