Episode 1 Section 8: Strong Attack
Shedding the tactical assault gloves that could no longer keep out the cold, Chen Yang unbuttoned his collar and inserted his two icy hands into his armpits. Instantly, Chen Yang's body began to shudder. If possible, he would have taken his hands out, but not now - with the military camp in sight, what he needed next was combat, and a pair of agile hands were more important than anything else.
Sneaking up quietly, Chen Yang crawled on the snowy ground with his elbows propelling his body forward. He climbed up a small hill and had a panoramic view of the military camp in front of him. There was a three-story red-brick building facing south, with a playground in front of it. To the east was a row of garages, while to the west were some spherical buildings that seemed mysterious and unclear what they were used for.
In the northern winter, at 6:30 in the morning, you can only vaguely see things, and this is undoubtedly the coldest time. The military camp is brightly lit, with soldiers organized by squad gathering nervously, occasionally one or two leaving the camp. The level of alertness in the camp far exceeded Chen Yang's expectations. Describing it as "three steps a post, five steps a sentry" would not be an exaggeration.
What caught Chen Yang's attention, however, were the two Type 92 armored vehicles parked on the parade ground of the barracks. Looking at the road outside the camp, it was clear that there were more than just these two armored vehicles in the camp. In other words, if they took that relatively smooth road, they might be being chased by an armored vehicle right now...
The sky gradually brightened, and Chen Yang slowly retreated because he knew that if he continued to lurk here, it would be easy to expose himself when dawn broke.
But what he didn't know was that at this moment, in a certain room of the military district's compound, General Fenglin was arguing with others, his face red and his neck thick: "General! I think Major General Zhao Zhenjun is taking advantage of his position to deliberately suppress the 8341 squad!"
"What's suppression? If you can't even accomplish this much, how dare you think of global deployment..."
The general sat upright in his chair, furrowed his brow and slammed the table: "Quiet! Everyone shut up! Fenglin! What are you dissatisfied with? Look at this application of yours, do you know how much military expenses these equipment and training will require? If they can't prove their capabilities, why should we spend so much money to support them?"
Maple Forest Lieutenant General couldn't help but lower his head. Indeed, for the upcoming training, the lieutenant general had already submitted a request to the military district for a separate camp and various training facilities. Whether it was flying in the sky, running on land, or swimming in water, none of these were small numbers. He hesitated for a moment, but Maple Forest Lieutenant General still said: "General! But after all, they are a newly formed team that is less than three months old, letting them compete against teams that have won awards at the World Special Forces Competition, isn't it a bit..."
"Shut up! Do you think the enemy will spare you just because you're a new recruit? Get out! I only want to know the outcome."
Out of the door, General Maple's face turned even more unsightly, gazing in the direction of White Wolf Mountain and falling into deep thought.
The mountain wind was blowing fiercely, and Chen Yang, who had retreated back, looked at his comrades in front of him with some excitement. Not a single one was missing! What could be more exhilarating than this? Jian Jue's legs were trembling slightly, his face as pale as snow, and he said: "It's just a small mountain cliff, very easy, very easy..."
But Sun Erpao suddenly rolled his eyes: "That guy doesn't even know who's screaming like a pig that he can't do it anymore..."
Nan Gong Ling listened to Chen Yang's report and said naturally, "Everyone take a ten-minute break, try to restore the flexibility of your hands as much as possible. Ten minutes later, we'll act." Chen Yang was taken aback: "Ghost Face Mushroom, you mean we're going to launch a strong attack after ten minutes?"
Nangong Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "As for the specific attack plan, we'll play it by ear. However, one thing is clear: there aren't many people in this camp right now, and the special forces are being held back by the virus. But once daybreak comes and visibility improves, they'll quickly discover that we're gone. If they decide to return to the camp, our current situation..."
They crept back to the vicinity of Xiaoshan Bao, and Nangong Lan observed carefully before saying to Chen Yang, "It seems our luck is not bad. The enemy doesn't seem to have thought we'd come from the Lu Ying Cavern side. This is an opportunity." Chen Yang nodded in agreement. In fact, that was indeed the case. After a string of misfortunes, it seemed as though God's balance had finally tilted in their favor.
"Alright, let's think this through carefully. The enemy shouldn't have discovered our presence here yet, so it's our turn to take action. We need to capture that officer and extract information from him before the enemy special forces return. Now, let's assign tasks. Wild Donkey, since we can't use anesthesia darts on the enemy officer, you and Fierce Horse will be in charge of capturing him. As assault specialists, your mission is to quickly break through the camp gate, clear a path... Hmm... Jian Jue, once Wild Donkey and Fierce Horse capture the enemy commander, you need to extract information from him and assist Massage Master in launching a surprise attack from the left flank. Massage Master, after infiltrating the camp, you must swiftly take control of all communication facilities and cut off contact between the camp and the outside world. Ba Ge, your mission is crucial - have you seen those 92-style tracked armored vehicles in the camp? We need to secure one for our getaway. Drama, your task is to set up defenses. Once we charge in, we may waste a lot of time inside the camp, so you must set up various traps. If enemy forces return, we'll be counting on you. Does everyone understand their mission? Let's synchronize our watches... The current time is..."
At this time, the valley had just welcomed its first ray of sunlight, and the military camp was also gradually becoming lively. Looking at the busy soldiers moving in an orderly manner within the camp, Chen Yang knew that charging in would not be so simple. This was a strong attack, and taking advantage of the nighttime to act would have been better than the current situation. However, there was no time to waste now, as once the enemy's special forces returned, many variables would be added.
Chen Yang suddenly thought that if the virus were present at this time, his marksmanship would be good enough to cause a commotion in the military camp without having to get close.
After exercising his frozen fingers like carrots, Chen Yang hid on the mountain slope within 100 meters of the military camp's main gate. Unlike the sunny side of the mountain, this slope was covered with pine trees. Chen Yang checked the time and tried to relax while silently counting down in his mind, "3, 2, 1, charge!"
Chen Yang's body suddenly bounced up, and the gun in his hand also rang out. With a somewhat dull gunshot sound, two shots were fired, and the two sentries outside the camp gate were instantly hit, and then their bodies shook twice before falling to the ground. At this time, the two lookout sentries behind the wall of the camp also discovered Chen Yang. Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out, and the two lookout sentries fell...
PS: Today's status is really not good, I've written a lot but it doesn't look satisfying no matter how I look at it. This section may have some dragging plot suspicion, but I think it's okay, so I'll post it first. I'll try to adjust my state and rewrite the next chapter. If I'm still not satisfied after finishing writing, I will continue to rewrite. Please support me, friends.
