Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

After everyone in the guard camp left, Ma Liang had a table set up on the training ground, and a tray filled with dollars wrapped in red paper was placed on the table.

Gao Feng, along with his battalion staff and other commanding officers, were drinking tea with Ma Liang.

"Captain Gao! Aren't you going to command in person?" Ma Liang asked casually.

"It's already a big mistake for a battalion to catch less than 50 people in the designated area. I won't compete with the people below for this easy job that can earn me a reward. The correct way to lead troops is to have a balance between tension and relaxation!"

Gao Feng took a sip of tea confidently, crossed his legs and said confidently.

"Captain Gao is very confident in his troops!" Ma Liang looked at the confident Gao Feng and complimented him casually.

Less than an hour later, a squad of soldiers from the guard battalion arrived at the playground in a truck. After getting off the truck, a sergeant in the lead was holding two purple strips of cloth and hesitating not far away.

"Sergeant, is the commander trying to fool us again?" the soldier behind the sergeant complained in a low voice.

"No way! The commander said it in public. If a piece of cloth doesn't cost ten dollars, it can at least be exchanged for five dollars, right?" The sergeant was not sure.

Writing bad checks was a common occurrence in the national army. For example, after obtaining two strips of cloth, the first reaction of the soldiers in the guard battalion was to ask someone to take them back to see if they could really be exchanged for ten dollars, rather than continuing to work hard to collect the strips of cloth.

On the battlefield, suicide squads are recruited with huge sums of money. The suicide squads would rather charge into the battlefield and fight desperately with heavy money than believe that the officers will fulfill their promises afterwards.

Ma Liang, who had excellent hearing, naturally heard the discussion of these soldiers.

He smiled and waved to the hesitant soldiers, signaling them to come over.

Seeing Ma Liang waving, the soldiers in this class immediately ran to Ma Liang, placed the two strips of cloth respectfully on the table, bent over, and smiled like a servant, not like a soldier.

"You're lucky? You got two so quickly. Here, this is the reward you deserve, twenty dollars." Ma Liang casually took out twenty dollars and handed it over.

Looking at the two piles of white dollars, the sergeant was obviously tempted at the first glance, but he did not take them immediately. Instead, he looked at Gao Feng who was sitting on the other side.

"Of course, your Captain Gao will be the one to fulfill the two-day holiday, right? Captain Gao." Ma Liang smiled and tricked Gao Feng.

"Of course, let's go quickly with the reward given by the commander!" With Ma Liang present, Gao Feng didn't dare to play the military custom of drawing a layer after each pass.

The soldiers of this class immediately took the money and left happily. Their excited discussion could be heard from a long distance away.

"It's actually true!"

"Get rich!"

·····

The soldiers in the guard battalion got rich, but the students in the advanced class were out of luck.

“Huff…”

A wheezing sound like a bellows rang out in the mountains and forests.

"Captain, these soldiers from the guard camp seem to have taken the wrong medicine. When they see us, they run as fast as they can, like they see the ocean. They refuse to give up even when they are foaming at the mouth. This is not a solution!" said Lin Xiuyun, who has the least physical strength.

"We really can't go on like this. The area designated by the instructor this time only has three small hills, and the rest of the area is flat. In such a small area, there is basically no room to hide, and the enemy also has cars, trucks and other means of transportation."

"We can't just hide in one place all the time. We have to keep moving and infiltrate to their rear through gaps in their search. As long as we can drag it out until night, it's time for us to counterattack." Captain Liu Gongfeng said with great confidence.

"Does anyone have water? I'm so thirsty." Li Weizheng asked. He was so thirsty after running for more than an hour.

"Be patient! See if we can find some water from the guard camp at night." Liu Gongfeng was also running so hard that his mouth was dry and his throat was sore, but he still comforted the team members.

After taking a rest, Team 1, led by Liu Gongfeng, turned back and infiltrated the rear of the guard battalion's search team.

“Huff…”

“Cuckoo…”

"These guys can really run! They can run faster than us soldiers even in leather shoes!"

After discovering a group of people again, a platoon leader who did not outrun the other side took a few gulps of water from his kettle and sighed.

Hundreds of people searched the mountain in broad daylight. The students in the advanced class were all wearing colorful civilian clothes, not camouflage uniforms. Lucky soldiers kept coming with cloth strips to claim their rewards.

After sending out 100 yuan, Gao Feng said to Ma Liang proudly:

"Sir, I don't think it will take three days, it will be over before dawn tomorrow!"

"Then let's make a bet. The stakes are 1000 dollars. If your guard battalion can capture them all before dark today, not only will I continue to pay the reward I promised to the soldiers, but I will also give you an extra dollars. How about that?"

"Let's bet!" Gao Feng said without hesitation.

As time went on into the afternoon, soldiers who had lost their red ribbons gradually began to return to the barracks, while there was no longer a single purple ribbon.

"waste!"

"I've lost all my face!"

Gao Feng cursed at the soldiers who had returned.

"Commander, you can't blame us! These people seem to never get tired. Some of them lead the brothers to run, and some of them ambush on the road to deal with the brothers who are alone! This is how we got our cloth strips taken away." An unlucky platoon leader explained with a bitter face.

"You have ten times more troops than the enemy, and you still give me an excuse?" Gao Feng continued to curse.

···········

But as the sky gradually darkened, more and more soldiers who had lost their red ribbons returned to the camp, and Gao Feng could no longer curse.

Seeing that almost half of the soldiers in the company did not have red ribbons and thinking about losing a thousand dollars, Gao Feng paced back and forth on the ground anxiously.

He wanted to take command personally, but he was too embarrassed to take back the boast he had made in front of Ma Liang.

Seeing Gao Feng's embarrassment, Ma Liang, who was complaining about his lack of strength, said to Gao Feng nonchalantly:

"Captain Gao, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the front and take a look. Don't wander around there. It makes my eyes blurry."

"Okay, I will disappear from your sight immediately and not disturb your pleasure!"

Gao Feng, who was worried about having no excuse to go to the front to command, immediately set off with his command team before it got completely dark.

With the appearance of Battalion Commander Gao Feng in command, the various companies of the Guard Battalion, which had been fighting on their own without unified command and treating this as a game, immediately entered combat status under Gao Feng's command.

Tasks were assigned to each company according to the battle map, and sandbag fortifications were set up at major intersections. It completely turned into a battle.

Gao Feng, a man with rich battlefield experience, even judged that the other side was short of water when the soldiers returning to the camp did not have water bottles. He ordered the soldiers not to carry water bottles on the battlefield and to go to the headquarters to drink water.

The advanced class also quickly noticed the changes and stopped fighting in small teams. Instead, they started to work together under the leadership of Chen Beixuan and Liu Gongfeng.
