Chapter 19: The Great Military Exercise Without Bloodshed

  "Excuse me, which one is Captain Zhang Hang?" A military officer-like man who got off the helicopter asked loudly.

  There is an order from above, after arriving at the destination, listen to Zhang Hang's command.

  "I am, may I ask your honorable name?"

  A soldier standing upright like a spear on the ground replied, his body occasionally revealing strong self-confidence, although he was standing there casually, but it made people clearly feel the terrible explosive power in his body.

  Looking at his teammates again, they were all energetic and robust, and must have been skilled in martial arts as well.

  "Report, helicopter squadron commander Xu Cheng has arrived with his team as ordered, please instruct!" He raised his right hand and gave a standard military salute.

  At first, he didn't believe that a small team of twenty people could annihilate an entire guard company, considering the guard company's combat strength was higher than that of ordinary troops. The reality in front of him now made him have to believe, so he looked at Zhang Hang with a respectful gaze and reported.

  In nature, survival of the fittest prevails; on the battlefield, might makes right, and the victor is king.

  "Director Xu, you've all worked hard! How many people have come this time?"

  Excluding the driver, there were one hundred and sixty people including me.

  "Alright, leave one hundred men in charge of the missile brigade, the other sixty will come with us on the plane, destination is enemy airport, departure in five minutes."

  "You think our friendly troops will invite us for tea or directly confiscate our guns?" Chu Sai shouted.

  "It's probably an invitation for us to have tea," replied Sit Jian.

  "It's not necessarily so," said He Lian Guang, "they might have their suspicions and be prepared."

  "Don't guess randomly, I guarantee they will invite us for tea."

  "Why? Big brother."

  "We not only know their exact location, but also contact them through their internal computer network system, and that's in what they thought was a very safe rear. If it were you, would you still have any doubts? Just put your heart at ease!"

  After listening to Zhang Hang's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

  "Boss, we're here."

  The eight-kilometer journey was a fleeting moment for the helicopter, and friendly forces had already provided them with a helipad. Two high-powered spotlights on the ground illuminated its surroundings like daylight.

  "From now on I am Zheng Lianzhang of the Guard Regiment, pay attention to your address, and act according to plan!"

  "Yes!"

  "Hurry up! Fall in, attention, left face, forward march!"

  "Report, the guard company has assembled, with 80 people present as required. Please instruct, Company Commander! On duty, Chu Cuo." Chu Cuo ran up to Zhang Hang, stood at attention, gave a standard military salute with his right hand, and said loudly.

  "Please rest for a moment!" Zhang Hang returned the courtesy.

  Yes.

  The battalion commander of the friendly army who had been waiting nearby walked over, enthusiastically extending his hand to shake hands with Zhang Hang: "Commander Zheng, you've had a hard journey! Brother Zhou Zhenhai, I was ordered to guard the airport. Please come in and have a cup of tea first!"

  He withdrew his hand, and Zhou Zhenghai felt that the explosive power inside his opponent's body was much stronger than his own. He sighed inwardly: Indeed worthy of being a captain of the guard!

  "Director Zhou, don't be polite, we're all brothers. You've been guarding the airport day and night for many days now. This time, I'm ordered to reinforce the airport's security, so let your brothers have a good rest tonight, and you can come back on duty at 6 am tomorrow." Zhang Hang turned his head, smiling as he looked at his troops.

  "How can this be?"; For some reason, seeing Zhang Hang's smile when he turned his head earlier, Zhou Zhenghai suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. As a professional soldier for many years, this sense of vigilance wouldn't come without reason: "How can this be? Our master has no right to let guests do his work while he goes to sleep! Moreover, guarding the airport is also our responsibility!"

  "Can't trust brothers like Zhou Lianchang?" Zhang Hang walked to the side, picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the air: "Lian Guang!"

  With a loud "crack", just as the small stone reached its peak and was about to fall, a member of the team swiftly drew out his pistol and hit the target with unerring accuracy.

  Zhou Zhenghai stared at the team member named Lian Guang with his mouth agape in shock, completing the three consecutive actions of drawing his gun, aiming and firing within three seconds, ultimately hitting the target.

  Everyone who has been a soldier knows that without three to five years of hard training, it is impossible to achieve, and even with three to five years of hard training, not everyone can do it.

  He Lian Guang didn't even lift an eyebrow, as if what had just happened wasn't his masterpiece, and said lightly: "This doesn't count for anything. We can hit two targets simultaneously within three seconds!"

  Just now, he saw them get off the helicopter, and Zhou Zhenghai found that the 20 members wearing camouflage uniforms and their leader Zheng Lianchang were extraordinary. However, he and the team members behind him couldn't have imagined that they would be so powerful as to be almost inhuman!

  Not to mention that they are friendly forces, even if they were enemy forces, it would be enough to capture their squad with the twenty people in front of them now. The last bit of doubt in his heart also disappeared, a unit with such strong combat power must be a special elite unit sent by the higher-ups as a surprise attack force. With them here, the airport is as safe as gold, and our own troops can even take a holiday to play without any problems!

  "No, no, I didn't mean that, Zheng Lianchang mustn't misunderstand me! Am I not being polite? Since Zheng Lianchang is so enthusiastic, my brother will not decline, and it's an honor to accept!"

  "Don't be polite! We're allies, after all!"

  As soon as the words fell, a large number of warriors rushed over from all around, at least twenty or thirty people.

  Zhang Hang smiled at Zhou Zhenghai and said: "Brother Zhou, the team's response speed is really fast! I admire you!"

  Compared with their own reaction speed of about 10 seconds, a reaction speed of nearly one minute is already considered fast for ordinary troops, but it's still not in Zhang Hang's eyes.

  "Ha ha, take a look at that!"; In the eyes of other team members, Zhou Lianchang was unusually polite and modest today. No wonder, the friendly army's strength is too strong.

  "It's okay! It's friendly forces arriving, a whole row of them."

  "Tell the brothers to switch shifts, no need for night duty tonight, everyone can rest and have a good sleep!"

  "Yes!" A loud response came from a row of guards, who turned and carried out the order.

  "Chu Li, tell the brothers to switch with the friendly troops immediately!"

  "Zheng, go to your brother's place and have a couple of drinks."

  "Alright! But after I get familiar with the situation here, brother. Twenty minutes later, I'll go to your place, you prepare more wine, and we won't leave until we're drunk!"

  "Alright, it's settled then, I'll go prepare!" Zhou Zhenghai happily bustled off, he was of course delighted to have made friends with Zhang Hang.

  The airport command center was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

  "It's the friendly Zheng Lian team, they've arrived." Seeing Zhang Hang bring a large group of people into the command room, a staff officer politely said: "You've worked hard! You can just guard outside!"

  "We have orders to provide close protection for you at all times until the exercise is over," said Zhang Hang.

  "We appreciate your kindness, but this is our military's great rear base, safety should not be a problem. Besides, there are too many people in the command room, it's inconvenient, you can just guard outside." The commander said.

  "That's impossible, I can't disobey the captain's orders! Besides, sometimes the safer a place is, the more unsafe it actually is!"

  Commander felt something was off as he saw Zhang Hang and they didn't show any signs of retreating.

  "You're not Zheng Lian's squad!" a staff officer suddenly shouted.

  "What makes you say I'm not Zheng Lianchang?"

  "When we first joined the army, we were in the same company, eating, drinking, living and training together. How could I not know you? Speak up, what do you want to achieve by impersonating Zheng Lianzhang? Who are you?"

  "I admit I am Zheng Lianchang, but it was you comrades who called me Zheng Lianchang. Who I am is not important now, what's important is that I have been sent to carry out a mission."

  "Then whose orders are you following?" The commander asked loudly, sensing that something was amiss.

  "This question has hit the nail on the head, but this may be bad news for you. We have come to protect you under the order of Commander Deng, not Commander Wu. Since treating captives with kindness is a fine tradition of our army, and it's a fine tradition, we can't neglect it, so of course we will also provide close protection for you."

  "Also, Commander Deng said that the exercise will continue tomorrow morning, but the planes must fight according to our army's instructions. By the way, I'll let you know that your missile brigade will also work with you tomorrow, and your computer network system will go on strike at 5:55 am sharp tomorrow. Any other questions?"

  Everyone present widened their eyes, staring blankly, and racked their brains but couldn't figure out how they could be sitting in a friendly helicopter. The situation of the company guarding outside must not be good either.

  "It's all over!" The commander let out a sigh, the missile brigade was definitely under control, and what's worse, they had infiltrated their own communication system, while headquarters apparently still hadn't discovered this. Now he actually hoped that dawn would never come, because after daybreak, this exercise would be utterly defeated!

  The staff officers in the command room saw the commander sitting on a chair with a dejected spirit, knowing that he had already given up the futile resistance. After all, this was just an exercise, and from a broader perspective, they were also friendly forces, so there was no need to fight each other to the death!

  But it's still a bit hard to bear in mind that the opponent was taken by surprise and occupied the airport without firing a shot.

  After taking down the command center without bloodshed, Zhang Hang took Chu Lei, who loved wine as his life, to Zhou Lianchang's place, with the intention of using Chu Lei's capacity for liquor to get him drunk and peacefully resolve the situation.

  I really want to see his expression when he wakes up the next day and finds that everything has changed, thinking of this, Zhang Hang couldn't help but chuckle.

  Unexpectedly, Zhou Lianchang was still quite capable of drinking. Half an hour later, the three people had downed a total of two catties and six taels of white wine, and only then did Zhou Zhenghai collapse to the ground, unable to move.

  Normally, when he drinks with others, he would never get drunk, let alone fall down so quickly. But today, because he was in a good mood and had handed over the airport to Zheng Lianchang, he felt at ease, and also met Chu Lei who could drink even more than him.

  A good wine is too little for old friends!

  Finally, under their enthusiastic hospitality, even his troops had been completely disarmed without realizing it, until Zhang Hang watched him slowly fall to the ground on one side, snoring loudly.

  "Let's go, we'll also take a break and rest for a while. We'll set off at 2 am sharp tomorrow to visit their headquarters!"

  Chu Li said nothing and stood up, before leaving, he casually grabbed the two remaining bottles of white wine on the table and stuffed them into his bosom: "Boss, don't waste it, take it with you, brothers can use it to liven up when eating meat in the forest!"
