Li Shutian, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He sat in the driver's seat, shaking his head and humming a song. He had a cigarette in his mouth, looking like he didn't care.
When the swimming team finished their practice and went up to the shore to comment on the end of the exercise, I once again gave Ishikawa Yoshiko and Sheng Huaqiang a final encouragement, "The most crucial moment has arrived. According to the original plan, we have to be extremely careful."
Ishikawa Yoshiko was still annoyed by my nagging. She impatiently turned her head to the side and didn't say anything.
Under our eyes, the swimming team finished their review and began to lead the team back.
When they entered the south gate of the guard area, we used the SUV as cover and took off our outer clothes, revealing our summer training uniforms.
I checked their outfits. After making sure there was nothing wrong, we carefully got out of the SUV.
Li Shutian drove the SUV away. The three of us followed the plan and stayed on the beach for a while. Then, we began to walk toward the guard area.
I led the team. Sheng Huaqiang and Ishikawa Yoshiko walked in an orderly manner.
When we were a hundred meters away from the gate of the guard area, we slowed down.
Sheng Huaqiang whispered, "There are only two sentries. Why are there two extra guards?"
I frowned. "What extra guards? You were a soldier before!
That First Class Sergeant is a foreman! "
Sheng Huaqiang suddenly understood and scratched his head. I warned him, "Pay attention to the discipline of the formation. Don't touch anything!"
Sheng Huaqiang obeyed. Ishikawa Yoshiko secretly smiled.
Seeing that the foreman didn't show any signs of leaving, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
Under normal circumstances, the sentries at the gate were relatively new recruits. They were easier to deal with.
Foremen were usually old sergeants with rich experience on duty. They weren't easy to deal with.
Moreover, we were all carrying guns. If we were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In this situation, we deliberately slowed down. However, the foreman still didn't show any signs of leaving.
At this time, we were only fifty meters away from the gate.
Should I face it head-on or slow down?
I had a strong psychological struggle in my heart!
But in fact, we didn't have a way out. If we left now, it would arouse the other party's suspicion and lead to worse consequences.
Since we're here, let's go to the end and give it a try!
After making up our minds, we took large strides and walked straight to the entrance of the security zone.
The sentry at the gate was a new recruit. When we approached the gate, he quickly turned around and gestured to stop us. "Please wait!"
From the way he was on duty, it could be determined that this recruit was using the standard movements for duty. Under normal circumstances, during actual duty, only recruits would follow the script like this and follow the standard standards of their training.
Usually, veterans would not be so rigid. Their movements would be smoother and their tone would be more forceful.
The three of us stopped. Although we knew that the situation wasn't good, we still maintained a calm expression.
The guard looked at us and asked, "What are you doing here?"
I said forcefully, "I'm from the swimming team. I just came back from swimming!"
The guard said, "The swimming team just went in. Where did you guys come from?"
I said, "The District Captain asked us to clean up the obstacles near the sea. There were a lot of things under the sea, so we cleaned it up and finished the job!"
The guard said, "But, but I see the swimming team coming in and out every day. Why haven't I seen you guys before?"
When I heard that, I became impatient and scolded him, "Do you have no f * cking idea?
Who is your squad leader? Tell me! "
My scolding was effective. The sentry looked at the supervisor next to him for help.
The supervisor smiled and walked out of the guard tower. He walked in front of me and looked me up and down. "Are you really from the swimming team?"
I pointed at the three of us and frowned. "Fuck, do you even need to ask?
You're bragging like a black sweet potato. Other than the swimming team, what other team can be so black? "
The supervisor smiled indifferently. "Then let me ask you, who is the swimming team's District Captain?"
I snorted coldly. "Stupid question!
Our District Captain is called Xie Guanghui! "
The supervisor asked again, "What is his military rank?"
I blurted out, "Captain!
Our District Captain is from Hunan. He just got a girlfriend this year.
Is there anything else you want to ask? "
Seeing that I answered so fluently and accurately, the supervisor didn't ask anything else. He waved his hand and said, "Go in!" He saluted and let us go.
In reality, I already knew about this situation!
I gave the command to march, saluted back, and entered the guard area.
I finally let out a sigh of relief!
Sheng Huaqiang said, "At least we got away with it!
It wasn't easy! "
Ishikawa Yoshiko said, "Will there be any more checkpoints inside?"
I smiled. "Don't worry, we're safe once we enter the guard area!
Right now, there aren't only people from the swimming team in the guard area. There are a lot of teams here for training. So, once we enter the guard area, no one will pay attention to us. "
But in reality, the situation wasn't as optimistic as we thought.
When we were about to enter the auditorium, we suddenly met two officers in military uniform. One of them had two bars and the other had one bar.
They were pointing and gesturing in front of the auditorium with interest. It seemed like they were expressing their personal opinions about the greenery of the guard area.
I also recognized that the officer with two bars was the vice-head of the logistics department.
Damn it!
Vice-Head Shi knew me. To a certain extent, all the officers in the guard area had seen me before.
Because I had been chosen as a role model many times, I had given a speech in the auditorium.
In order to avoid meeting Vice-Head Shi, I ordered Ishikawa Yoshiko and Sheng Huaqiang to turn around and speed up.
But this didn't help us escape our misfortune!
I heard Deputy Minister Shi's subordinate, Bar One and Two, suddenly call out to us, "You three warriors, come here!"
I pretended not to hear and reminded Ishikawa Yoshiko and Sheng Huaqiang, "Don't turn around."
But who would have thought that the officer would run over and stop in front of us.
He frowned and asked, "You didn't hear me, did you?"
I saluted him and said, "I didn't hear you!
Does the leader have any instructions? "
The lieutenant pointed at Vice-Head Shi behind him and said, "Vice-Head Shi is here. Tell your company leader to come over!"
I was stunned. "Our company leader?"
The lieutenant said, "Yes.
Your company leader, Hua Bing! "
I prevaricated, "I'm sorry, we're not from the brigade!
We're from the Fourth Brigade, we're here to train! "
The lieutenant was stunned and asked, "Does the Fourth Brigade have any training missions this year?
Also, even if they do, the military should be training in seclusion right now. I'm afraid it's not the time to come to Beidaihe yet, right? "
I smiled bitterly and thought that this was bad. In a moment of desperation, I let it slip!
But I immediately said perfunctorily, "It's like this. We were transferred here in advance. The Fourth Brigade sent a district team to assist our brigade. They said they were going to have a meeting, and our brigade didn't have enough manpower. So, they borrowed a district team from our brigade."
After I said that, I managed to get away with it.
The lieutenant suddenly understood and nodded. "So that's how it is!
Okay, comrade, help me run an errand. Go to the Second Brigade and call Hua Bing. Vice-Head Shi wants to see him. "
I probed, "He, he's the Logistics Department's Vice-Head Shi?"
The lieutenant nodded. "Yes.
Go quickly. Vice-Head Shi wants to discuss something with Captain Hua! "
I asked, "Why don't you go directly to the Second Brigade?"
The lieutenant frowned. "You soldier, why do you talk so much nonsense!
If I tell you to go, then go!
Go now! "
At this time, Vice-Head Shi heard the commotion and slowly walked over.
I groaned inwardly. I didn't want him to recognize me. Otherwise, all of our previous efforts would be in vain!
But he still walked over and asked the lieutenant, "What's wrong, Officer Sun?"
The lieutenant explained, "It's nothing, Vice-Head Shi. I'm just telling them to call him!"
I quickly tilted my head and said perfunctorily to the lieutenant, "I'll go call him right away!"
Just as I was about to give the order, Vice-Head Shi suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
I felt a chill run down my spine. Did he really recognize me?
While I was thinking, Vice-Head Shi sized me up. A moment later, he said, "Tell me, what's your name?"
I almost stammered, "Sir, my name is Zhao Hui. I'm in the fourth year of my military service, First Class Sergeant!"
Vice-Head Shi frowned slightly. "Huh? Why do I feel like you're very similar to someone!
Like a very outstanding officer in our regiment! "
I let out a sigh of relief and took the initiative to ask, "Are you talking about Secretary Zhao Zhao Long?"
Vice-Head Shi was surprised. "Yes, yes, yes!
What, do you know him? "
I smiled. "I know him.
Our captain also said that I look like him!
But I've never seen him before. Don't tell me he's also as dark as me? "I pointed at my own face and tried to observe Vice-Head Shi's expression.
Vice-Head Shi said, "No, no.
Your face is dark because you've been exposed to the sea wind for a long time!
But if you're not in the swimming district team, then that's not right. If you're not in the swimming district team, then why is your face so dark? "
I broke out in cold sweat again. The leader was indeed a leader. She could easily find a flaw in my words.
But I still pretended to be calm and said, "It's hereditary!
In my family, we're all dark.
My father's nickname is Black Whirlwind, and my mother's nickname is Black Rose. My sister is even darker than me.
Besides, we've been on loan for more than a month now. It's only natural that we've been exposed to the sea wind. "
Vice-Head Shi burst into laughter. "Humorous, you're quite humorous.
It's good that you're dark. It's healthy! "
I smiled and said, "I've always used the word 'healthy' to comfort myself.
Hehe. "
Vice-Head Shi was still observing me. He couldn't help but mutter to himself again, "You're too similar, too similar. You're too similar to Zhao Long!
Work hard, and I hope you'll have Zhao Long's achievements in the future. Then you'll be the pride of the entire police station! "
