104: Learn to drive a tank.

Our Military has always used these methods. And these methods, used countless times, have always been effective.

Those enemies certainly wouldn't know that the listening devices they painstakingly planted would instead become a tool for our Military to mislead them, and in due time, would lead them into our Military's trap.

The spies in Hui County should be related to these people. Perhaps this will also lure the snake out of its hole.

That old woman definitely has a problem; that callus is very suspicious.

Xiao Niannian's guess was correct; Lu Jing and the others were indeed doing just that.

Soon, the spies responsible for monitoring received several useful pieces of information. They immediately relayed this news to their superiors.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, we've received the latest news: the Military Unit will be sending a batch of Experts from Yangcheng by train to the North in a few days..."

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, we've received the latest news: the Military Unit will be purchasing a batch of supplies in a few days..."

This time, they not only installed a listening device on this car but also on several other cars. Some were placed in the back seat, others on the chassis.

However, none were discovered. After Xiao Niannian reported it to Lu Jing, the entire Division Headquarters quietly conducted a search and found that more than ten vehicles had these devices.

Some of the listening devices were removed, while others were used to lure the snake out of its hole.

Xiao Niannian has become very proficient at driving large vehicles these past few days. Squad Leader Li's gaze towards Xiao Niannian grew increasingly appreciative. He might only encounter one such apprentice in his lifetime.

"You've learned very well. There's nothing more for me, your Squad Leader, to teach you."

"Squad Leader, I still have a lot to learn," Xiao Niannian said modestly.

Xiao Niannian took out a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Squad Leader Li.

That's right, Squad Leader Li usually doesn't smoke or drink much; his hobby is cracking melon seeds.

These days, Xiao Niannian would occasionally give Squad Leader Li a handful of melon seeds. Squad Leader Li initially refused, but later would give Xiao Niannian peanuts or other snacks in return.

Squad Leader Li would never take advantage of Xiao Niannian in the slightest.

Squad Leader Li smiled as he took them, eating the melon seeds, and said.

"Tomorrow, you'll come with me to learn how to drive a tank."

Ah? Learning to drive a tank so soon?

Was she really going to become an all-around Reconnaissance Battalion soldier before joining the Special Forces Brigade?

"You learn to drive cars so quickly; you'll definitely learn to drive a tank quickly too."

Squad Leader Li said with a smile.

"Okay."

Squad Leader Li ate a few melon seeds and said.

"This small car has been washed clean; now it's your turn to wash the big one."

Xiao Niannian looked at the muddy military truck and nodded.

It's just washing a car; what's so difficult about that?

Humming a tune, Xiao Niannian grabbed the hose and started working.

The young soldier also ran over and immediately started busying himself with a large brush. Squad Leader Li glanced at him and said.

"You're a sharp kid; learn more from Comrade Xiao in the future."

"Yes."

The young soldier's surname was Lin; everyone usually called him Xiao Lin.

"Comrade Xiao is my role model; I will definitely strive to be like Comrade Xiao..."

Listening to his words, Xiao Niannian looked up at the large truck. Although she had been here for half a year, she really couldn't spout so many words at once.

Many people would open their mouths and say exactly what the instructor said.

She had also learned some of it now and would use it when needed in the future.

After washing the car, Xiao Niannian took off her waterproof clothes.

Looking at the clean military truck, Xiao Niannian couldn't help but feel happy.

Tomorrow, she would be learning to drive a tank.

Previously, when she passed through the camp, she had seen the situation at the Tank Company from afar; they were all the relatively advanced Type 62 Light Tanks.

Each platoon had three tanks, and each tank had four crew members.

Was Squad Leader Li really an all-rounder?

Not only could he drive small cars and military trucks, but also tanks?

After waking up in the morning, Xiao Niannian immediately went to report to the Tank Company.

Squad Leader Li was talking with the Tank Company Commander.

"Comrade Xiao, this is Company Commander Zhang of the Tank Company."

"Hello, Company Commander Zhang."

Xiao Niannian saluted Company Commander Zhang.

Company Commander Zhang returned the military salute with a smile.

"Squad Leader, you teach Comrade Xiao. I'm your soldier, so what I teach definitely won't be as good as what you teach."

Squad Leader Li was indeed a hidden master. Even Company Commander Zhang used to be Squad Leader Li's soldier.

"That's different. I'm part of the Motor Transport Company now, not your Tank Company."

"Old Squad Leader, it's all the same. Comrade Xiao is a promising talent in our battalion now. The sooner she learns, the sooner she'll become our battalion's ace..."

Battalion Commander Han had told him that whether their battalion could win a ranking in the Division Headquarters competition depended on Comrade Xiao Niannian. Comrade Xiao Niannian would also participate in the All-Military Competition.

The more skills Comrade Xiao Niannian learned, the more competitive she would be. For the honor of the entire battalion, they must let Comrade Xiao Niannian learn more skills.

Hearing Company Commander Zhang say this, Squad Leader Li no longer refused.

He immediately led Xiao Niannian and Xiao Lin into the tank, along with another soldier from the Tank Company. Seeing Squad Leader Li, he also respectfully called out.

"Hello, Squad Leader Li."

Squad Leader Li smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Xiao Yu."

Xiao Niannian surveyed the tank. They had seen these tanks in museums before and knew that after Zhenbao Island, we acquired new technologies: a gun two-axis stabilizer, infrared night vision, and a smoothbore cannon, which instantly advanced our tank technology by fifteen to twenty years.

Moreover, that tank was retrieved after the ice cracked, by Navy divers using steel cables.

From then on, our tanks improved.

In less than half a day, Xiao Niannian was able to drive the tank around the camp, and she could handle any position perfectly.

Squad Leader Li's gaze towards Xiao Niannian became even more appreciative.

With such a promising talent in their Reconnaissance Battalion, this Division Headquarters competition was a sure win.

Xiao Lin also looked at Xiao Niannian with admiration. He still couldn't grasp many of the things he learned today, yet Comrade Xiao was already driving a tank around the camp, perfectly navigating through puddles, slopes, and other training grounds.

Her talent was truly too strong; he was far, far behind Comrade Xiao.

He must study hard and learn from Comrade Xiao.

Squad Leader Li watched Xiao Niannian climb out of the tank, drenched in sweat, and smilingly handed her a military canteen.

Xiao Niannian immediately guzzled down several mouthfuls.

If she had learned it instantly, that would have been too heaven-defying, so she still took most of the day to learn. In this weather, learning to drive a tank was truly too hot and stuffy.

Xiao Niannian looked at the others; although they were extremely hot, they still looked excited.

Despite the stuffiness, after resting for a while, Xiao Niannian still got back into the tank and continued practicing.
