Chapter 20: The Mountain Fortress Special Warfare Unit

  Although Zuo Caiyun has the potential to be a natural-born god of guns, Yanzi and others also have good shooting skills. However, becoming an elite special operations unit is not an easy task. In order to let the team members undergo rigorous training, Huoyao first made it clear that the special warfare group is a combat unit used to complete high-difficulty tasks. The members of the group are all elites among elites. This made Daniu and others excited, with a heroic look on their faces.

  The first thing Huo Yao had to do was to get people like Da Niu familiar with the use of various weapons. The only problem was that the guerrilla force lacked bullets, so everyone could only play around with them.

  Next is the training that combines physical strength, endurance and shooting. Three times a day, morning, noon and night, five kilometers of loaded cross-country running. After returning, lie down somewhere and aim at an object with a gun. Can't move body for several hours. Unexpectedly, Swallow and Zuo Caiyun can also complete the training. In the end, Huoyao was entangled by Yanzi and had to join in the training as well. Huoyao only then realized how poor he was.

  After careful consideration, it was decided to form an infiltration team consisting of Wang Xiaolong and Wang Xiaohu. The weapons used would be flying knives and a Wang Ba box. Infiltration teams always had to be stealthy and silent, so cold weapons were the best choice. The Wang Ba box was only for emergency use in case they were discovered by the enemy. With their exceptional martial arts skills, the two brothers were the perfect candidates for the infiltration team.

  Big Cow and Second Cow were assigned to the Firepower Strike Team. Each of them was given a machine gun, which made the two brothers overjoyed. Although they looked like rough men, they were actually refined gentlemen. However, Monkey was not happy about it. Because the guerrilla team only had two machine guns, one of which was in Monkey's hands, and the other belonged to Comrade Shi, who had sacrificed himself at Luanshigou. Liu Tao had to make a lot of effort and promise that he would give the machine gun to Monkey when they captured another one before Monkey finally handed over the machine gun to Big Cow and his brother.

  Swallows and Zuo Caiyun naturally formed the blocking group. They were responsible for covering and striking enemy important targets. The only drawback was that the effective range of the Type 38 Arisaka rifle was only two or three hundred meters. If the enemy had a sniper rifle, they would be in a relatively passive state.

  Actually, the special forces' tactics for combat were also half-baked. Moreover, they had only read about them in books before and didn't have any actual experience. Huoyao could only divide Yanzi, Daniu, Wang Xiaolong into one group, Zuocaiyun, Erci Niu, Wang Xiaohu into another group to conduct confrontational drills. Fortunately, Daniu brothers and Wang Xiaolong brothers were both from hunting backgrounds, they had some experience in tracking prey and hiding tracks. After each confrontation drill, they would exchange experiences and find the correct operating methods from their mistakes.

  In the evening, Huoyao was preparing a supplement for the special warfare team members. He lit a fire and roasted a wild rabbit on it. This was caught by Daniu during the confrontation exercise in the morning. So Huoyao also gave Daniu a good scolding, saying that he should treat the exercise as real combat. Would the enemy wait for you to catch a rabbit before opening fire?

  These days, everyone's feelings have become more and more harmonious. Although Huoyao never had the opportunity to be alone with Zuocaiyun (because Yanzhi would always stay by Huoyao's side after practice), Huoyao was always thinking about confessing to Zuocaiyun. But even he himself didn't know, what exactly did he like about Zuocaiyun? In the end, Huoyao found a reason, but did he really need one?

  Huoyao was roasting a chicken on one side while muttering to himself as he searched for words of confession.

  "Colorful clouds, my admiration for you is like the endless Yangtze River, continuous and unstoppable. It's also like the Yellow River bursting its banks, once it starts, it can't be stopped..."

  "Isn't this a bit hypocritical?" Huo Yao said with a shake of his head.

  "There was once a true love in front of me, I didn't cherish it... If heaven gives me another chance... I would say to her..."

  Gunpowder shook his head again and said, "It hasn't even started yet, where did the past come from."

  "Or sing a song... I love you for ten thousand years or crystal... Or just say it directly, Caiyun, I like you."

  The big cow patted Huoyao's shoulder and said, "Huoyao, what else are you going to say? We're all so serious now that we've walked up front, yet you're still muttering to yourself."

  Everyone saw that they were all around him, and Huo Yao's guilty conscience hastily changed the subject: "Nothing, didn't say anything. Oh, you guys talk about the results of this afternoon's confrontation exercise."

  "Ha ha, today I finally got my revenge. Zuo Caiyun killed me twice. Killed Er Niu once, hit my thigh once. Hit Wang Xiaohu's thigh and arm each once. Zuo Caiyun was because he rolled too slowly and was killed by me once. And another time..."

  "Yanzi was shot down by me once. Da Niu was shot twice. Wang Xiaolong never found anyone. Yanzi was moving to a blocking position, shaking the small tree beside him. And didn't leave in time, my shot was a headshot. Da Niu was because..."

  Everyone reported their own results and gave reasons. The satisfied smile of the gunpowder was already much better than in the past few days. Although no one had actually fired a shot, progress was absolutely certain, and the gunpowder had become very difficult to give opponents a fatal blow during confrontation exercises.

  "Alright, today I'll give you an extra dish. The wild chicken will be ready soon."

  The swallow sitting next to Huo Yao suddenly curiously asked: "Brother, when we were coming back, what were you talking about? Speak out and let everyone hear."

  "No, no... nothing was said." The furious person refused to admit it.

  "Come on." The crowd erupted in cheers.

  The firecracker was forced to have no way, suddenly cleverly moved, and the loud voice shouted: "I said, thunderstorm, rain, comrades quickly go home to collect clothes."

  "Ah", no one believed what Huo Yan said was true.

  The big cow rubbed its head hard and thought for a while before saying: "It seems that what Huoyao said earlier was, Caiyun, I like..."

  "Shut up!" Firework interrupted Big Bull's words and shouted, "I said that tonight we will have an extra meal. You all start individual wilderness survival drills immediately."

  "Ah", everyone didn't understand what a solo wilderness survival confrontation exercise was. Nor did they know why gunpowder suddenly went crazy.

  "The food is not for you, go find your own. Moreover, you can only act alone and eliminate all enemies near you. The deadline is tomorrow noon. Start immediately."

  "Yes!" The special forces team replied in unison. But Huo Yao didn't expect that he would also be unable to escape his fate. Because from the moment he started speaking, he too became a target of attack for everyone.
