Chapter 110: Brown-tailed Tiger VS Tiger-headed Eagle

  Such a way of killing is, after all, extremely cruel. Even if the marshal himself comes forward, Xia Xingxiao cannot escape military law. Li Yuzhi absolutely does not want to see Xia Xingxiao, with boundless prospects, affected by this matter.

  "Consider yourself lucky!"

  Fortunately, Xia Xingxiao was still relatively easy-going. He instantly understood the pros and cons of the situation. He immediately transformed his claws into fists and punched Zhou Ranliu's back. At the same time, he quietly withdrew his fingers that were reaching for Zhou Ranliu's head. As a result, Zhou Ranliu's body was sent flying high into the air, heavily crashing onto the ground like a meteorite.

  Due to the huge inertia, he rolled on the ground for several times before barely stabilizing his body. He crushed many rocks along the way, but as a 7th-level cultivator, his physical strength was still quite formidable. Ordinary rocks couldn't cause him too much harm, and were instead crushed alive by him.

  However, due to the muddy road caused by the rainstorm, Zhou Ran's body was greatly affected. His whole body was covered in mud and water, as if he had just crawled out of a swamp. Even his eyes were filled with murky mud, making it impossible for him to open them for a short time. He was truly miserable.

  Of course, being defeated is not the final outcome for Zhou Ruo. His final outcome is that although he managed to save his life, he was severely injured and it's estimated that he won't be able to recover within three or four months. Xia Xingxiao's last punch almost shattered his diaphragm. He may have escaped death, but not the punishment for being alive, Xia Xingxiao is not a benevolent master.

  "What's going on?" someone suddenly asked anxiously and angrily.

  Only to see from the other side of the volcanic mouth, another dozen or so people flew over. Their military uniforms and armbands were exactly the same as Feng Lingkai and Zhou Ranliu's. One of them even wore a lieutenant colonel's rank badge. It seems that the mech corps' ranks are really worthless! Two lieutenant colonels appeared all at once. Ai Yexing was indeed too proud.

  If they were from the Myanmar military base, a lieutenant colonel's rank would be an absolutely unprovoked high-ranking master. If a cultivator was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, it meant that he had already become a 14th-level cultivator. Such a level at the Myanmar military base would be at least a deputy regimental commander. Such a master, appearing one, is already very impressive, let alone two appearing at the same time. It's worth noting that Song Tiangao was only a colonel's rank after all.

  Luckily, the military rank of the mech corps is not a system. The military rank of the mech corps cannot reflect their individual strength. The military rank of the mech corps reflects more of their combat level in driving mechs.

  The lieutenant colonel of the mechanized corps, at the individual level, has personal combat power. It should be about the same as the senior captain of the cultivator corps, and everyone is a seventh-level cultivator. Of course, it's also possible to be an eighth-level cultivator, but that possibility is relatively small.

  "Paralyzed again, and another lieutenant colonel." Xia Xingxiao said disdainfully.

  He deliberately made his voice very loud, as if he was afraid that the other party would not hear him. He couldn't kill Zhou Ran Liu. His heart was already a bit uncomfortable, and now seeing the opponent had reinforcements coming, it became even more uncomfortable. At this moment, he regarded anyone from the 114th Division as an enemy, an enemy almost indistinguishable from bandits.

  The string of battles just now made Xia Xingxiao feel that those guys from the 114th Division were actually not a big deal. Don't look at their intimidating military ranks, but in reality, when it comes to actual combat, he alone can take them all down. It's precisely because of this underlying mentality that Xia Xingxiao appears so arrogant and unapologetically so.

  However, Li Yuzi and others were not as arrogant as Xia Xingxiao. In the eyes of Li Yuzi and others, since the other side had a lieutenant colonel, they couldn't be taken lightly. Now that another one has appeared, they must be even more cautious. No matter what, the military rank of lieutenant colonel has already far surpassed them. If it's not necessary, it's better for both sides to avoid conflict.

  Between the Cultivators and the Mecha Troops, although they are two different systems, not very compatible with each other, after all, both belong to the Federal Army, under the jurisdiction of the Federal Military Commission, and subject to the allocation of the National Defense Committee. If their relationship becomes too awkward, if one side reports the other, they will still have trouble.

  After all, the 114th Division is a central army and a direct descendant of the imperial family, always receiving care and protection from superiors. They, on the other hand, are border defense troops, local forces that are often marginalized and suppressed. The status and weight of both sides are unequal. If they were to go to court, these people without status would definitely suffer greatly.

  Zhang Bo stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted, saying in a neither arrogant nor humble tone: "Respected Captain, may I ask what brings you here? Is there anything we can assist you with?"

  The attitude of that lieutenant colonel was as arrogant as Zhou Rang's. To be honest, he did have the capital to be arrogant. Among the people present at the Myanmar military base, the highest rank was only sergeant. There were eight ranks between lieutenant colonel and sergeant. If it were in a normal setting, a sergeant wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to a lieutenant colonel.

  Lin Fei, with Xia Xing's support, wasn't too nervous about this colonel. When he found that the other party was unwilling to answer his questions, his tone became much sharper and more direct. He bluntly asked: "Excuse me, Colonel sir, but this is within the jurisdiction of the Myanmar military base. May I ask, do you have a permit for entering Ailuo Star?"

  That middle school student glared at Lin Fei and said discontentedly, "Sergeant, please wipe your eyes clean and take a closer look. Who do you think we are? Can't you see that clearly? We're all from the Brown Tiger Squad! Don't tell me you don't even recognize this?"

  As he spoke, he swung his arm in front of Lin Fei with a particularly exaggerated motion. Later, he simply placed his armband directly in front of Lin Fei. This action was very rude and impolite. The armband on his arm stood out especially prominently.

  Lin Fei and the others naturally knew that the other party was from the Brown Tail Tiger unit. The Brown Tail Tiger is the sleeve insignia of the 114th Armored Assault Division. On the sleeve insignia, there is a tiger with sharp claws, its tail is brown in color, particularly thick, large, and eye-catching, hence the name Brown Tail Tiger.

  At this time, Li Yuzi and others also saw clearly that the middle school's name was Zheng Dongming. On his chest badge, in addition to his name, there was a special floating cloud logo. According to their understanding of the Brown Tiger Unit, only those who had received the Yun Qi Medal would have such a special mark on their chest badge. In other words, the opponent was someone who had received the Yun Qi Medal and was an elite of the Brown Tiger Unit.

  Feng Lingkai, with the support of his superior, regained his composure and began to complain again. He struggled to get up and bluntly told Zheng Dongming: "Deputy Captain, these people are too unreasonable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that in our Federal Army, there are still such rude and discourteous people. Look at how they've beaten us up. Colonel, you must teach them a lesson."

  Zheng Dongming nodded, looked up and sized up Xia Xingxiao and the others, saying in a gloomy and sarcastic tone: "I said it was someone, turns out it's the Yellow Beak Woodpecker's troops! Since when did the Yellow Beak Woodpeckers dare to show off in front of the Brown Tail Tigers? And they even dare to hit our Brown Tail Tigers' people? Are you guys trying to go to the military court? Or perhaps, are you all tired of living?"

  The formal number of the Mian Luo military base is the 4th Guard Brigade under the White Egret Star Military District. According to standard organization, it should have five battalions with a total strength of about 30,000 people. In fact, the Mian Luo military base has only three battalions, and these three battalions are all understaffed.

  According to the standard, a full-strength battalion should have 5,000 officers and soldiers. However, the entire Myanmar military base had only about 5,000 people in total for three battalions. This also included hundreds of non-combat personnel like Yu Zhi. If only cultivators were counted, there might be only around 4,500 people.

  This number has already included more than 500 new recruits such as Xia Xingxiao. If the losses in previous battles are added, the current Muye military base should have less than 3,000 combat-effective personnel. Such a force is not even comparable to a standard battalion.

  The 114th Division, however, had a full complement of ten large teams, with a total strength of over 70,000 people. The Mian Luo military base and the 114th Division were simply not in the same league. No wonder Zheng Dongming was so proud and looked down on Xia Xingxiao and his men. To be honest, the Fourth Guard Brigade and the 114th Division were not even on the same level.

  A regular division-level unit, the commander of the troops is a lieutenant general. A brigade-level unit, the commander of the troops is a senior colonel. This means that the 114th Division has enough capital to bully the Fourth Guard Brigade. Therefore, in previous battles, the Fourth Guard Brigade had always been the underdog. Everyone present knew this, but it felt completely different.

  The 114th Division, naturally, was high and above. They were the main force, the direct line, and indeed looked down on local troops. And as a local troop, the Fourth Guard Brigade, also felt stifled by the contempt they suffered. This contempt and stifling feeling deepened continuously in constant conflicts. In the end, it became what it is today.

  The sleeve insignia of the 4th Guard Brigade is a wing-spread tiger-headed eagle, also known as the Tiger Eagle. The brigade is therefore also referred to as the Eagle Brigade. However, it is unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional at the time, but others are reluctant to call it the Tiger Eagle. Even the White Star Military District itself does not acknowledge the nickname of the 4th Guard Brigade's tiger-headed eagle in public.
