C2 Challenge the Foreman Gao!

Everyone instinctively turned toward the source of the noise.

The soldiers from the logistics farm looked on at Tang Ming with shock written all over their faces.

Adjacent to the logistics farm were the clerks and other staff of the regiment, known for their relatively weaker combat skills.

Regiment Commander Wang Zhiming was frozen in disbelief.

What in the world was happening?

Who would dare to yell in such a setting, even going so far as to challenge Foreman Gao?

Miao Lian couldn't help but laugh at the audacity.

He hadn't expected someone from the logistics farm to have the courage to take on Gao.

"Foreman Gao, it seems someone doesn't respect the prowess of your Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade!" joked a military district leader to Foreman Gao.

Foreman Gao replied with composure, "My Wolf Fang has never shied away from a challenge."

"Good, since that's the case and we have plenty of time, why not let this young comrade try his hand? Let's see if he's all talk or if he truly has some skills," the military district leader said with a chuckle.

Commander Wang Zhiming felt like weeping.

If Tang Ming truly had skill, he wouldn't be stuck at the logistics farm!

It was common knowledge that the soldiers from the logistics farm were the least combat-ready in the army!

"Tang Ming, have you lost your mind? Who told you to yell like that?"

The logistics farm's squad leader barked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming replied with a grin, "I just felt like shouting. I can't stand the special forces of Wolf Fang, and I want to challenge them."

The soldiers around grew angry upon hearing this.

"Who is Tang Ming? The leader is calling for you!"

At that moment, the regiment commander's guard came running over, calling out to the logistics farm side in a rather hostile tone.

"Reporting in! I'm Tang Ming!"

Tang Ming called back and immediately ran forward.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" the guard hissed at him. "Do you realize that this could embarrass the commander and even result in disciplinary action from the leadership?"

Tang Ming assured him, "Don't worry, squad leader. I'm going up there to earn some glory for the commander."

The guard glared at Tang Ming, warning him, "Once you're there, apologize to the leadership right away. If you cause a scene that can't be resolved, the commander will never let you off the hook! Follow me!"

After finishing his statement, the guard hurriedly escorted Tang Ming toward the military district leader.

"Reporting, Comrade Tang Ming has been brought here!" announced the guard.

No sooner had Tang Ming taken his position than he felt an intense glare directed at him.

It was the piercing gaze of Commander Wang Zhiming!

Wang Zhiming looked as if he wanted to kill Tang Ming on the spot.

"Young comrade, are you the one who challenged Foreman Gao?"

The military district leader's demeanor was surprisingly mild. He wasn't upset by Tang Ming's bold challenge to Wolf Fang.

"Reporting! Yes, sir, that was me!"

Tang Ming declared confidently, "In my opinion, the marksmanship displayed by Foreman Gao earlier was quite average. Anything he can do, our soldiers from the 702 Regiment can match!"

"Foreman Gao, did you catch that? This young comrade here thinks your marksmanship was nothing special," the military leader said to Foreman Gao with a chuckle.

Foreman Gao, behind his sunglasses, maintained a composed expression. "If you truly believe you have the skill, give it a shot. Hit three out of ten glass bottles at the same distance I did, and I'll concede defeat to you!"

To Foreman Gao, Tang Ming was merely a greenhorn, a fresh recruit from the logistics farm specializing in pig farming. He was convinced that hitting a bottle mid-flight was an impossible feat for Tang Ming.

In fact, he was certain that not a single person in the entire 702 Regiment could achieve such a feat!

"That's quite magnanimous of you," remarked the military leader with a smile, turning to Tang Ming. "What do you say, young comrade? Are you up for the challenge?"

"Reporting! I am ready!"

Tang Ming responded with vigor, "However, since I'm the one issuing the challenge, let's make it a fair competition! I propose a contest to hit a bottle at a hundred meters in the air!"

Commander Wang Zhiming was utterly astounded!

He felt an overwhelming urge to charge at Tang Ming and throttle him.

The warriors of the 702 Regiment, Foreman Gao, the military leadership, and Miao Lian were all equally taken aback.

None of them had anticipated Tang Ming's audacious declaration.

A bottle at a hundred meters was, in essence, the same size as a bullseye on a target.

And since it was in motion, hitting it would require precise timing of the shot.

To accurately time the shot, one must rely on their eyesight to gauge the speed and trajectory of the bottle's ascent or descent.

Apart from seasoned marksmen, it's virtually impossible for the average person to master this in a short span of time!

Sure, you could take a shot when the bottle reaches its peak, which might be somewhat easier. However, this feat was certainly not within the capabilities of a rookie like Tang Ming!

In fact, it was doubtful that anyone in the entire unit could achieve it!

Even Foreman Gao wouldn't claim he could hit a bottle in flight at a hundred meters without a gun sight!

That level of precision was reserved for sniping experts alone!

"Comrade, are you certain you're not pulling our leg?"

By now, even the military brass were skeptical of Tang Ming.

Initially, they believed Tang Ming had the chops to back up his bold claim.

But hearing him vow to strike a bottle a hundred meters distant, they suspected he was all talk.

"I'm positive!" Tang Ming affirmed with conviction.

"Tang Ming, enough with the tall tales! How on earth could you hit a bottle a hundred meters away in flight?"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Wang Zhiming stood up and berated Tang Ming, "Just go back to the logistics unit and stop making a fool of yourself here!"

"How will you know if I'm spouting nonsense if I don't give it a try?" Tang Ming responded evenly. "Should I miss, I'm prepared to face any consequences. But I do ask that the leadership grants me this opportunity."

Wang Zhiming was ready to rebuke Tang Ming further, but the military leader interjected, "If you're that determined, you have my permission! Your courage is commendable, and I assure you that your commanding officer won't penalize you!"

"Don't feel pressured. However, if you miss, it's you and the 702 Regiment who will be red-faced."

"Rest assured, I will not disappoint," Tang Ming declared, standing at attention.

Wang Zhiming was on the verge of tears.

He feared Tang Ming would disgrace the 702 Regiment.

"Well then, proceed," the military leader said.

Turning to Foreman Gao, he inquired, "Foreman Gao, any objections?"

"I'll defer to your judgment," Foreman Gao replied.

He was convinced Tang Ming didn't stand a chance of hitting the bottle.

Even though the warriors of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company suspected Tang Ming was just boasting, he did it for the sake of the 702nd group. And even if he was indeed boasting, they couldn't help but admire him and were ready to root for him!

"Could I borrow your gun for a moment?" Tang Ming asked Zhuang Yan. "We don't have any guns in our logistics department."

Zhuang Yan, taken aback, asked with curiosity, "You don't have a gun? Have you never practiced shooting?"

"That's right," Tang Ming replied, shaking his head.

"Then how on earth could you hit that bottle?" Chen Xiwa was flabbergasted.

With a smile, Tang Ming mimicked Foreman Gao and pointed to his heart. "Marksmanship isn't just about practice; it's about what's in here."

The group was left at a loss for words.

Their gazes then instinctively shifted to Foreman Gao.

Foreman Gao had an air of authority when he spoke those words.

But when Tang Ming said it, they had to stifle their laughter.

Foreman Gao had over a decade of shooting practice under his belt, which gave him the right to make such a claim.

But Tang Ming? He hadn't even held a gun before, so how could he make such a statement with a straight face?
