Chapter Thirty-Seven

  Because this operation was absolutely confidential, the other 27 selected special forces also claimed to be participating in the annual "Highland Eagle" exercise of the military region. On the day of departure, the army commander personally sent them to the airport, and this 50-year-old general actually sat with these young people on the truck. With a slightly red eye circle, he chatted with them: "Young men, this time you are going to a real battlefield, and you will face extreme factions that kill without blinking. Are you afraid?

  Afraid of nothing

  "We're not afraid..." Everyone's voice was very loud. Maybe they were truly born with a fearless heart, or maybe they wanted to use this loud voice to cover up their own inner tension.

  "Haha, you guys are all very brave, stronger than I was back then. When I first went to the Vietnam battlefield, I was almost scared 'pee' in my pants." After a pause, he continued: "But when the first gunshot sounded and I saw my comrades fall beside me, I wasn't afraid of anything anymore. At that time, life and death were no longer important, all I wanted was to avenge my fallen comrades. The kind of bayonet-to-bayonet combat will make you forget fear, leaving only anger. You guys this time will also face danger, although the fighting won't be as intense as in Vietnam, but you are special forces, you will have zero-distance contact with them. Whether it's your knife stabbing into the enemy's body or the enemy's knife stabbing into yours, what you will face is unprecedented tests. Because killing and being killed are not human nature. I remember when I first stabbed a Vietnamese soldier to death at close range, my hand was shaking non-stop, my mind was blank, and there was an indescribable feeling in my heart, not fear, but a sense of destructive guilt, a life was destroyed by me just like that. But after the battle ended, I thought if I didn't destroy him, he would have destroyed me, maybe even more comrades would have been destroyed by him. You guys this time will encounter many hardships and dangers, but I believe you are all the best special forces, you can definitely solve it and ultimately return home victorious. Because your mothers are waiting for your triumphant return."

  This general, who had been through the cruel war, now looked more like an old man. He didn't say much about the party and the people of the country. He just said that their mothers were waiting for them to return triumphantly, simple and unadorned.

  Perhaps men have a natural inclination towards war, although tense, they all have an uncontrollable excitement.

  This time the equipment is unprecedentedly 'fine'. Except for Wang Yuanjian's familiar 85 sniper rifle, all others have been replaced. Individual equipment - Type 95 assault rifle, Type 92 silenced pistol, "Cold Light" multi-purpose dagger, triangular bayonet.

  "Hu Shen II" bulletproof vest. 2000 model combat boots. M98 UN bulletproof helmet, GPS locator. Micro-light night vision device.

  "My god, this is just like the equipment of American soldiers." The speaker was No. 27 in Group C, who had joined "Flash Sword" a year earlier than Yuan Shuai. He had excellent overall strength and was particularly skilled at shooting.

  "Yes, this is indeed the first time I've received such treatment." Li Nan added, now he was the leader of the third group.

  The team leader is Zhang Qipeng.

  The second group is Wang Yuanshi. Yuan Shuai serves as the deputy team leader.

  The plane flew for about 4 hours and landed at a small airport in northwestern Pakistan.

  As soon as they landed, the reception officer who came to pick them up apologetically told them that two Chinese engineers and a family member had been kidnapped by the Pakistani terrorist organization "Jaish-e-Mohammed". The Pakistani military is currently negotiating with them.

  After getting on the car, Yuan Shuai asked worriedly: "What about their negotiation format now?"

  "It's not looking good." The reception officer said apologetically.

  "Why didn't you send troops to rescue them?" General Yuan asked.

  "If troops are sent in, they will kill the hostages. And we don't know their exact location."

  "Where was the Chinese engineer caught?"

  Nauru Eastern

  "So they're also in Nauru."

  "It can be assumed this way, but Naushera is so big that if there's too much commotion they might harm the hostages."

  "Let's go back and take a look at the map."

  "Okay."

  The anti-terrorist command center is located in a small town west of Nausala City. The car passes through a green tree-lined cement road, around a large pond. Stopped under a three-story building. The command office is on the second floor.

  "Reporting, People's Liberation Army A Group Army 'Flash Sword' Special Forces 'Flash Action' Detachment reporting for duty. Detachment Commander, Yuan Shuai."

  A colonel looked up and saw Yuan, stunned for a moment, then said "Oh, so soon, sit down, sit down." As he spoke, this leader with the rank of colonel personally poured water for them. Several officers beside him came to help pour water. Looking at their equipment, the colonel excitedly said:

  "China is indeed our all-weather friend. (It was only later that I came to know that in the primary school textbooks of Pakistan, it is written that China is Pakistan's all-weather friend) In the past when we were going through our most difficult times and the whole world had abandoned us, you gave us your best equipment which you yourselves did not use, helping us defeat the invaders. Now again you are providing us with the best equipment and the finest soldiers to help us. China is indeed our elder brother."

  He walked up to Yuan Shuai and asked, "Young man, you're the only warrior who wasn't caught in the 'Ailerna. Blitz' global scout competition, right? I recognized you as soon as you came in."

  "Yes, Commander, it's everyone sacrificing themselves for me." Yuan Shuai stood up and replied.

  As soon as the people next to them heard that this was a Chinese special soldier who had already made a big name for himself in Pakistan, they all started discussing it.

  "Amazing," said Eirak. "The brave warrior of 'Totsugeki' is so young."

  "Yes, it's great that China sent such excellent soldiers here to assist us."

  "Commander, as soon as I got off the plane, the reception officer told me that two of our Chinese engineers and one family member were kidnapped by the 'Zealot Army'. I think we should research a plan to rescue them." Yuan Shuai asked.

  "Yes, we are also studying what methods can be used to rescue them."

  "Then please arrange our tasks, leader."

  "You've just gotten off the plane, rest well first."

  "No need, Commander, we came here to join the battle."

  "Alright, come take a look," he said as he walked to the edge of a sandbox. Pointing to an area that resembled residential houses, "The Chinese engineers and their families were kidnapped here. At the time, there were heavily armed guards at these points (he pointed to several intersections). Only this spot experienced an explosion incident, so all the soldiers rushed over. We estimate that after they took the hostages, they ran in this direction. So it's possible they are hiding somewhere around here, but we're not sure of the specifics yet."

  Yuan Shuai looked at the place he pointed to and saw that it was a residential area, not suitable for sending a large number of troops, as it would pose a danger to the safety of the residents. It seems that only a small team can be sent to rescue them.
