Chapter 20: The Final Blow of the Great Exercise

  Red Headquarters

  "Old Wu, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

  "Old Wang, I don't know why my eyelids keep jumping non-stop, it always feels like something is going to happen!"

  "Is it? I have a strange feeling too, and I'm very uneasy in my heart!"

  "Old Wang, we are all old soldiers of over 40 years, what big waves haven't we seen? According to reason, such a situation should not appear, could it be that the situation has really changed?!"

  "I've just contacted all units, everything is normal. Commander Li and the 102nd battalion have also arrived at the designated location three hours ago, we can launch a general attack at six o'clock. Last night, the enemy launched a fierce attack for more than half an hour but failed to gain any advantage and retreated, however, their electronic interference is still very strong and shows no signs of stopping, fortunately, we had a backup plan or else they would have caught us off guard."

  "That's good! Old Wang, we both know Lao Deng, he won't just sit and wait for death, it's just that we don't know what kind of trick he has up his sleeve."

  "It's okay, can't control that much now, anyway, in three hours we can launch the general attack. According to our reconnaissance, their main forces have not moved, and it is obviously impossible for them to make major adjustments within such a short period of time. In other words, even if Old Deng knows our general attack time now, he won't be able to make it. Moreover, his trump card troops are always in our sight, what else can he do?"

  I hope so!

  At the same time, Blue Command Headquarters.

  "Zi Long, Zhang Hang, where are they now? Although it's 3 am, Deng Xiao's spirit and mood are both very good."

  "Report to the principal, I just contacted them and they are now 3.8 kilometers away from the Red Command Headquarters. In the rear of the Red side, plus it's getting dark, they are advancing very cautiously."

  "Ah! It should be so! The victory of this exercise is unprecedented, which has never happened in our military history. Zhang Hang and others have made history! Zhang Hang did a good job! No, it's great! The Military Commission and the Chairman attach great importance to this exercise, and they are also watching us in the broadcast room now. I have already made a brief report to the Chairman on the situation, and his mood is not bad either!"

  "Zi Long, it seems you didn't misjudge Zhang Hang! Since entering Shenyang Military Academy, he has been creating miracles: all the teachers call him "encyclopedia" and can't help but admire him. Under such strict school rules and with so many eyes watching, he still managed to win the heart of campus belle Ouyang Qiushui and graduate smoothly; in training camp, he first showed off his extraordinary talent, hitting every target, then defeated the martial arts instructor, and relying on his incredible physical strength, completed an impossible route, finally setting a record with a comprehensive score of 98 points. Now, in this exercise, he is strategically bold and innovative, unexpectedly breaking through the primitive forest to appear behind enemy lines, quickly taking down the enemy missile brigade, and then bloodlessly controlling the enemy airport. He's still fighting to expand his gains, raiding the enemy headquarters! Truly, the waves of the Yangtze River push forward one after another! It seems we're all getting old!"

  "It's not just the Yangtze River where the rear waves push forward, but also 'the blue out of the blue surpasses the blue!' A lot of your heart and soul has been invested in this place, and now the facts have proven that your efforts have not been wasted: Zhang Hang has grown into a powerful, intelligent, and capable leader, an all-around special forces expert!"

  The two of them burst out laughing at the same time, yes, they have a good reason to laugh!

  They joined forces to create this peerless divine weapon, a nightmare for their enemies, a true Asura!

  For the motherland and the people, it is a strong arm! It is a guardian angel!

  That's right, it is like this!!

  "Boss, you're really sinister. 4 am is the time when the human body is most sluggish, even if their vanguard reconnaissance team were to encounter a tiger at this hour, they would still be drowsy. You chose to make your move at exactly 4 am, that's absolutely ruthless!" Lin Gen Sheng said.

  Setting out at 2 am, after more than an hour of marching, they had already arrived outside the Red Army headquarters, observing the situation and troop deployment around the headquarters.

  He smiled slightly and said, "You see, the sentries outside the headquarters are already sleepy, those near the headquarters are still alert, and about 20 meters away should be the reconnaissance company's barracks. As expected of the Red Army's headquarters, the defense is tight, and their reaction speed shouldn't be too slow either. To end the battle quickly, I think we should first take out the enemy's outer sentries, then enter their barracks to disarm them, and finally attack the headquarters."

  "Good!"; The crowd nodded in agreement.

  "Alright, Ghost, you're still on the same mission. This time I promise you'll get to have some fun. Bald Eagle, you and your brother, along with Scalpel and Thunder, take care of taking out the enemy's outer sentries. Make it quick and clean, don't let the patrol team discover you. Once you're done, meet up with us and we'll attack the command center together."

  After assigning tasks, Zhang Hang waved his hand and led other team members towards their barracks.

  The operation went smoothly, and within half an hour, Zhang Hang and his team had successfully confiscated the firearms of over a hundred people who were sleeping in the barracks.

  But just at this time, a sudden change occurred. A team member who had just returned from the toilet saw that something was wrong and issued a warning to the patrol unit before he was judged to be out of the game!

  Ximen Ding clenched his fist tightly and swung it fiercely at the air, blaming himself: "Damn it! If I was half a second faster, he wouldn't have been able to make a sound!"

  "It doesn't matter, we'll have to fight sooner or later anyway. To be honest, I'm not really used to this kind of sneak attack, it always feels like winning without a fight. Now that's over, let's go all out!" Zhang Hang comforted, then shouted into the microphone: "Attention everyone, attack begins!"

  Suddenly, the originally quiet night sky was filled with intense gunfire.

  It's no wonder it's the headquarters field reconnaissance company, their reaction speed is almost as fast as Zhang Hang and his team.

  Zhang Hang and his troops had not yet rushed to the front of the headquarters when they were met with fierce resistance from the reconnaissance company.

  However, the difference in hit rate and action led to the soldiers of the reconnaissance company being shot one after another. Their company commander Xiong Dagang also followed in the footsteps of Zheng Lianchang, who was judged to have been killed in action as soon as he rushed out of the command department's gate with a bullet hole between his eyebrows.

  Actually, Xiong Da had originally estimated the enemy to be very strong. To be able to sneak out unnoticed and launch an attack on the command center's troops, they must not be ordinary people!

  But he didn't think the enemy would be more formidable than he had anticipated!

  So when he rushed out to organize his brothers' counterattack, he became the target of He Lian Guang who had been waiting there for a long time. His fate was doomed and he died in battle.

  Now, he can only watch helplessly as his brothers are killed one by one.

  In the end, when Zhang Hang and others rushed into the command center, he was already sweating profusely and had lost all resistance. The brothers were all shot between the eyebrows, one bullet to kill, simply a killing expert!

  Even if they let you deploy your formation and engage in a fair fight, with their accurate marksmanship, quick dodges, seamless coordination, the most frightening thing is that during their rapid movement, they can still accurately hit the target, leaving you no chance of winning, ultimately leading to certain defeat!

  I really don't understand where these people came from and how they were trained. Could it be that they are the legendary Chinese most mysterious, most elite, and strongest combat Dragon Mobile Troop?!

  It is said that every member of this team has a unique skill, flying along the wall, going to heaven and entering the ground, nothing can't be done. Each of them is a master-level figure in a certain aspect, a special warfare expert, they will not take more than three seconds to kill someone, a high-intelligence killing machine manufactured by the country with a large amount of money!

  If we really lose to them, I don't feel ashamed at all. On the contrary, being able to fight with them is an honor, letting my brothers see what a real master looks like, and then going back to practice hard, so that the combat effectiveness of our troops can be improved again after some time.

  But the shame of a professional soldier's failure made his face feel hot and he couldn't hold it up.

  "Don't move, you're captured!" Seeing this group of soldiers with full combat gear and menacing auras holding guns at them, the commanders of the headquarters looked at Zhang Hang and others with expressionless faces.

  "It's no wonder you're from the headquarters, still so calm until now." Zhang Hang let out a light sigh, then ran to Commander Wu and gave a standard military salute: "Commander Wu, hello! I'm Zhang Hang, ordered to lead the team to carry out 'Operation Beheading', and now you've been captured!"

  "Zhang Hang, you've done a great job! We lost, and it was a complete defeat, a crushing blow!" Commander Wu said in a deep voice.

  Zhang Hang stared at this Republic Marshal with white temples on both sides of his head, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word.

  Commander Wu, although he was already old, his body was still as straight as a javelin. The kind of "unmoved by the collapse of Mount Tai" general's demeanor infected everyone present. It was clear that this defeat had no effect on his emotions. Zhang Hang didn't know what to say for a while either.

  One of the staff officers on the side opened his mouth: "You may have occupied our command center, but you can't change the final outcome. In a few hours, you will see what the final outcome is."

  "Oh! Judging from your tone, it seems like the Red Army has already won this exercise?" Chu Tu asked with a scornful face.

  "In any case, there's less than an hour before the general offensive begins, so it doesn't matter if I tell you or not." The staff officer glanced at Commander Wu and, seeing that he didn't stop him, continued: "Even without orders from our headquarters, at 6 o'clock sharp, our troops will launch a general attack on your Blue Army according to plan, so you'll still lose!"

  Hahaha...

  It was as if they had heard the most hilarious joke of the century, and Chu Yuan and the others burst into loud laughter.

  "Boss, I suggest we return the command center to them and accompany them to see how the Blue Army ultimately lost," said Chu Tu with a smile at Zhang Hang.

  "If I'm guessing correctly, our missile brigade and airbase have also fallen into your hands, haven't they?" Commander Wu asked Zhang Hang lightly.

  "Not bad!" Zhang Hang was slightly surprised.

  Upon hearing this, all commanding personnel in the headquarters except for the two commanders were shocked.

  Is this possible?

  "Zhang Hang, don't be surprised. Old Deng and we have been old friends for decades, how could we not know his character? From the annihilation of my special warfare battalion to throwing out a small team to attract my two regiments, to the ambush in my airborne brigade, Old Deng has always been trying to make me aware of the accuracy of his elite troops, so that I would be off guard against your small team. His goal of covering you up has been achieved. In this exercise, you are actually Old Deng's real trump card! You are the ones who decide the outcome of this exercise! The fact is that Old Deng won, not only beautifully but also overwhelmingly! Old Deng's vision was correct, Zhang Hang, you indeed have great talent!"

  I still don't quite believe it! Another staff officer couldn't help but express his true thoughts: "Even if we were ambushed, our troops should have reported to headquarters in the first place, and we haven't received any reports."

  "Can you imagine that the Blue Army has troops that can quietly cross our heavily guarded front line and launch a surprise attack on our rear? Without verifying the situation, would you dare to report it to your superiors immediately? Even our headquarters couldn't figure out what was happening before becoming their prisoners. What do you think is the probability that the lower-level troops could have done it?" Commander Wu said.

  Everyone is speechless, this is a fact.

  "To this day, I still don't believe you infiltrated from the front unless... it was the primeval forest, you first occupied the missile brigade, learned our exact location from there and entered our computer network system."

  Then, quietly and stealthily, they took our airport, made a brief rest, and set out at 2 am to raid our headquarters. Deputy Commander Wang Qirong continued: "Is that so?"

  "Not a single difference, the two commanders are as wise as gods, Zhang Hang is impressed!"

  "Don't be polite to us anymore, it's all over now, you've already become our captive. Alright, connect the missile brigade and airport phones, so others can understand their defeat!"

  Yes! Rush, execute immediately!

  "Thirty seconds later, the phone recovered, and twenty seconds later, Commander Wu was able to restore normal contact with his own troops. The virus in the computer network system was also eliminated." Jin Hui said while typing away on the computer.

  "Comrade, may I ask who was in charge of your information warfare just now? It instantly paralyzed our communication system."

  "Reporting to Commander Wu, it's Ouyang Qiushi, she is also our future sister-in-law."

  "Oh? Then who is your leader?" Wang Qiu Hong asked with interest.

  "Distant as the horizon, near at hand."

  The calm faces of the two commanders finally changed, staring at Zhang Hang, who looked embarrassed and lowered his head: "Young man, it turns out that we two old men were defeated by you two young people, haha!"

  "Report, missile brigade reports: position has been occupied, guard company annihilated, all missile attack coordinates have been altered, and at the time of general offensive launch will be directed towards own troops."

  Airport Report: Airport seized, entire Wild Field Regiment captured, all fighter jets controlled!

  Although they were mentally prepared, everyone in the headquarters was still quite shocked!

  Miracle!

  "Commander Wu, it's all my fault, I didn't do a good job..." Xiong Dajiang looked ashamed.

  "Xiong Lianchang, this is not your fault. Did you see the emblem on their chest? You didn't lose unfairly!"

  "Really them?" Bear Lianchang blurted out.

  "What do you think?" Wang Qiu Hong waved his hand: "Everyone return to their posts, the rehearsal continues. Don't forget that there are still many reporters and spectators, let's all cheer up and perform with heart, and bring this play to a good ending!"

  "I understand!" Zhang Hang, who had been silent all along, suddenly stared at Commander Wu and said: "To invest such a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, the real purpose of this exercise is only one: that is to test our combat capability! Is it worth it?"

  "It's worth it! Extremely worth it! You have to understand, without actual combat, you'll never become the masters of the battlefield!!" Commander Wu turned his head to one side and gazed into the distance: "Old Deng, I've lost! But I'm delighted: because I witnessed the birth of a new generation of war gods! Zhang Hang, do your best! The future belongs to you!"

  "Yes!" The entire Dragon Soul Mechanized Brigade raised their right hands and gave a solemn military salute to this upright Republic General!

  At this point, everyone present understood that the small squad in front of them was China's most mysterious, most elite and strongest fighting force - the Dragon Mobile Troop! Directly under the Military Commission, taking orders from the Chairman of the Military Commission!

  They stand at the pinnacle of the Chinese army, representing the strongest presence of the Chinese army!
