Chapter 121 The Upcoming Confrontation Drill

"Boom!"

Tank No. 1 that had been moving at a constant speed suddenly turned sideways, exposing Lu Yao and his off-road motorcycle to the periscope of Tank No. 2.

When the driver of Tank No. 2 received Wang Ping's command, he immediately fired the shells.

After a boom, everyone held their breath and looked nervously in the direction of Tank No. 1. Xu Long clenched his fists and was ready to stop the drill at any time.

But what everyone did not expect was that after the boom, there was another series of loud crashing sounds.

When everyone saw clearly what was happening, they were all stupefied with their mouths wide open.

Tank No. 1's tracks were scattered all over the ground. The entire tank seemed to have been cast with a paralysis spell. It remained motionless in its spot, and only the roar of its engine could be heard from afar.

Lu Yao was already riding his off-road motorcycle towards Tank No. 2.

A black shadow streaked through the rain of mud, and Lu Yao instantly got under the cabin of Tank No. 2.

Not long after, Tank No. 2 also stopped. After its engine was switched off, two drivers slowly climbed out of the cabin with their hands on their heads.

Wang Shi also rode his off-road motorcycle and came near Tank No. 2.

"Captain Xu, what should the final result be?" Officer Wang asked, confused.

"There is no doubt that Staff Officer Lu and Wang Shi have won. Didn't you see that the two tanks were controlled?" Xu Long said, pretending to be calm.

"But Staff Officer Lu is no longer on his motorcycle. Isn't this against the rules?" Although Officer Wang was shocked, he still remembered the rules of the competition.

Xu Long took over the notebook that Officer Wang held tightly in his arms. After looking through it, he quickly drew a circle on it with Officer Wang's pen. Then, he handed the notebook to Officer Wang and walked quickly towards Lu Yao.

"Fall off the motorcycle?" When Officer Wang saw the words that had been circled by Xu Long, he repeated the words twice.

Then, he suddenly realized something. A smile appeared on his dark face. He muttered to himself, "Yes, the rule is that they can't fall off the motorcycle, but Staff Officer Lu did not fall off. He just abandoned the motorcycle!"

"Xu Long is so smart. Why didn't I notice that before?" Officer Wang said as he looked at Xu Long's back.

The others who were doing the penalty exercise stopped what they were doing and rushed forward with curiosity.

"Captain Xu, I'm sorry. I think Tank No. 1 needs to be repaired properly!" Lu Yao stood on Tank No. 2 and said to Xu Long with an apologetic smile.

"It's fine. We can repair it. You just have to pay for the repair fees in the end!" Xu Long said seriously.

"I don't have that much money!" Lu Yao said, pretending to be worried. When Xu Long walked over, Lu Yao had already noticed his smile. He knew that Xu Long was joking. Since that was the case, Lu Yao thought he would joke with him as well.

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

"..."

"Staff Officer Lu, I was joking with you. This is a drill. Everything is funded by the army headquarters. You don't have to pay a single cent." When Xu Long saw Lu Yao's worried expression, he could not help but laugh out loud.

Wang Ping stayed in Tank No. 1 and did not show up. This time, Lu Yao had greatly shocked him. For a while, he did not know how to face Lu Yao.

"Staff Officer Lu, can you tell everyone what happened? You're so amazing. Why did Tank No. 1's track fall apart? How did you do it?" Li Fei asked curiously.

"Yeah, Staff Officer Lu, tell us about it. Everyone is quite curious." The other soldiers echoed after hearing Li Fei's words.

Lu Yao glanced at Xu Long and the other comrades. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "I have mastered a unique skill to use hidden weapons. Just now, I used the skill to turn the table. Do you believe?"

"Hidden weapon?"

"What kind of hidden weapon is so powerful that it can break the tank's tracks? Staff Officer Lu, are you trying to trick us?" Officer Wang ran over and when he heard Lu Yao's words, he was the first to express his doubts.

Lu Yao wiped his right hand on his clothes, and everyone saw that somehow there were two silver needles in his hand.

"Just two needles? That's impossible!" Li Fei and Li Kang said in unison.

"Staff Officer Lu, just tell them about it. Otherwise, these guys won't be able to finish the penalty exercise today. What do you think?" Xu Long also had a look of disbelief on his face, but he diverted the soldiers' attention to the penalty exercise.

The moment Lu Yao was about to say something, he remembered a documentary he had watched before. It was about the competition among the special troops, and one of the unique skills was called the flying needle technique.

"Captain Xu, do we practice using flying needles to break glass during our training?" Lu Yao asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" After Xu Long spoke, he immediately understood what Lu Yao meant and hurriedly added, "Are you saying that this is how you train yourself to use hidden weapons?"

Lu Yao smiled and nodded, admitting that Xu Long was right.

"It can't be. I have interviewed many elite soldiers from the special troops who practice this skill. Among them, there are many who can use the needles to break glass two meters away. But I have never heard that one can use the needle to penetrate a tank track. Even a thin iron sheet cannot be penetrated by needles, let alone a tank track." Officer Wang usually interviewed soldiers, and he had heard a lot of novel things. He had also seen many soldiers breaking glass with needles, but he did not believe that someone could break a tank track with needles.

"That's right. This is too shocking!"

"I think so too. What you said is not convincing!"

Gao Feng, Wang Peng, and Xu Yi of the elite team could break glass with needles as Lu Yao said. However, they still found it hard to believe that Lu Yao could use needles to break the track of the tank, even though Lu Yao had done a lot of miraculous things.

"Watch carefully!" Lu Yao thought about it for a while. He knew that if he didn't reveal his skills today, it would be hard for everyone else to believe him. Thus, after asking others to watch carefully, he quickly shot out the silver needles in his hand.

This time, there was no sound. When everyone looked in the direction Lu Yao pointed, they did not know how to describe what they saw.

Two silver needles were shot forcefully in the tank's track and remained where they were in a steady way.

The depth of insertion for the first needle was two centimeters and the depth for the second needle was one centimeter. Those soldiers around could see the needles stood firmly on the tank track.

Although the depths of insertion of the two needles were different, no one asked why such a situation had occurred. Everyone understood that this was definitely done deliberately by Lu Yao. In this way, everyone could have a deeper understanding of the power of the needles.

Lu Yao quietly patted the mud on his clothes.

Everyone else was staring at the two silver needles nailed to the track. Officer Wang even took out his beloved camera and started taking pictures from every angle.

About half an hour later, the sky had already darkened. Urged by Xu Long repeatedly, everyone finally stopped watching.

However, they were in the army and they had to obey the rules here. Although it was dark, everyone still had to finish their penalty exercise.

Wang Shi had spent a long time with everyone. At this time, seeing his comrades all being punished, he could not go and have dinner alone, so he decided to do the exercise like everyone else.

Lu Yao followed suit. He had always valued the team, so when he saw everyone was doing the penalty exercise, he also took the initiative to join them.

Although the group of people were being punished, they could sense Lu Yao's spirit and they did not feel tired for a while.

Even though they all sweated profusely, they had fun. It was easy for a group of hot-blooded youths to find out that they had something in common when they were together. Besides, in the army, the strong were respected. Lu Yao's strength had already been recognized by everyone. They accepted him and even yearned for his strength.

After the punishment was over, Officer Wang, who had been on the shuttle bus of the military region, came over and handed Xu Long a note of order. After reading it, Xu Long said excitedly, "We have received the army headquarters' latest instruction. Tomorrow morning, we will enter Yunwu Mountain for an actual combat drill. Can you guess who our opponent is?"

"I guess it's the Tiger Assault Team of the eighty-ninth army!" Xu Yi answered.

Hearing Xu Yi's words, Lu Yao turned to look at Xu Yi behind him before anyone else said anything.

"Staff Officer Lu, you don't know about this. The eighty-ninth army has two special assault teams. One is the Lion Assault Team led by Captain Xu. Among us, except Wang Peng and Chen Hai, the rest are members of the Lion Assault Team." Xu Yi knew what Lu Yao meant by looking at him, so he explained to Lu Yao with a smile.

"Chen Hai and Wang Peng are members of the Tiger Assault Team. The other members of the Tiger Assault Team didn't take part in today's drill because they went to participate in another operation." Xu Yi told Lu Yao everything he knew. Then he looked at Xu Long and asked, "Captain Xu, am I right?"

"What you said is right, but our opponent this time is not the Tiger Assault Team!" Xu Long said with a mysterious smile.

"It's not the Tiger Assault Team? Other than that team, is there anyone else in the eighty-ninth army that can fight with us?" Wang Shi asked in surprise.

"You can think beyond the eighty-ninth army. I can also remind you that there are old acquaintances of Wang Shi in this team!" Xu Long kept his soldiers guessing.

"My old acquaintances?" Wang Shi was a little puzzled and started to analyze Xu Long's clue.

Half a minute later, Wang Shi suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up. He said in disbelief, "Captain Xu, are you talking about the Falcon Assault Team of the Xijing Military Region?"

"You finally guessed it." Hearing Wang Shi's answer, Xu Long said with certainty, "That's right. It's the Falcon Assault Team of the Xijing Military Region. Are you confident about winning?"

The crowd had been passionate and excited, but after hearing this, they instantly became silent.
