Chapter 1: Knife Maniac
"Reporting to the Commander! I am Zhang Lieyang, commander of the 966th Special Warfare Brigade of the Third Army of Group R, here to report for duty!" Zhang Lieyang shouted loudly and seriously.
"Come in!" A stern voice came from inside the temporary tent!
Zhang Lieyang picked up the tent door and walked in, laughing and saying: "Commander, what did you call me for?!"
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come sit down and eat first!" said Commander Guan Ai.
Zhang Lieyang looked around and saw no one, then smiled and said: "Dad, what's going on? You urgently called me over from behind! Didn't you say this play has nothing to do with us?!
"You young rascal, you only know how to have fun! If I don't discipline you for a few days, your skin will start itching again!" The commander said with a smile.
After a while, a middle-aged man with three golden stars on his shoulder walked in under the guard's protection and entered the tent. Zhang Lieyang, who was still eating, suddenly stood up and saluted. Just as he was about to speak, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "No need for you to say anything, I'll do the talking!" The middle-aged man smiled and walked around Zhang Lieyang in a circle, saying: "You're Zhang Lieyang, the son of R Group Army Commander Zhang Shaofei, 19 years old this year. Currently serving as the commander of the Special Warfare Battalion of the 966th Regiment of the Third Army of the R Group Army! Proficient in multiple languages including English, Russian, Japanese, French, German and Korean! If you hadn't looked for trouble during your physical examination back then, who knows, you might be a member of the Fifth Special Forces now!" The general paused for a moment before continuing: "From a young age, you followed your grandfather to practice an extraordinary knife technique, earning you the nickname 'Knife Crazy' in the army!"
Seeing Zhang Lieyang's indifferent expression, the general smiled and said: "You must be thinking why you and your special forces were transferred from behind to here! Now I'm telling you, your opponent has arrived!" As he spoke, the general took a document from his secretary and read it out loud: "Order: Zhang Lieyang leads the 966th Special Warfare Battalion of the 3rd Army of the R Group Army to participate in this Sino-Russian joint military exercise! And orders Zhang Lieyang to arrive at the designated destination within three days, complete infiltration, reconnaissance and other subjects! People's Liberation Army General Staff Department! February 2, 2010!"
After the order was announced, General pointed to the guard next to him and put the thing on the table. He continued: "This is a new type of sniper rifle developed by our Academy of Sciences. Take it with you!"
Zhang Lieyang bowed and smiled, saying: "Guaranteed to complete the task!" As he spoke, Zhang Lieyang hastily opened the box and took a deep breath. At this time, the guard handed another box to Zhang Lieyang, saying: "There are special bullets in here!"
Zhang Lieyang took over the bullet and smiled, asking: "What is my mission this time? The previous order was too vague!"
Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, the general and Zhang Lieyang's father exchanged a smile and then his father took out a piece of paper saying: "The order is right here, take a good look and remember it in your heart!"
"Got it! I'll make sure to complete the mission! But I also need a box of standard ammo for this new sniper rifle and a box of timed C4!"
"Good! All your requirements I have met!" The general said with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed. Zhang Lieyang is driving his beloved four-wheel-drive bulletproof Hummer, with camouflage paint on his face, singing loudly in the midst of booming cannon fire: "Wolf smoke rises from the north of the river, dragon rises and rolls, horse neighs long, sword energy like frost, heart like the vast Yellow River water, who can resist for twenty years? Hate wants to go crazy, how many loyal souls are buried in foreign lands, what a pity to die for one's country, sighing and lamenting, no words left, tears and blood filling my eyes. Horse hooves head south, people look north, grass is green, yellow dust flies high, I wish to defend the land and reopen the borders, China must be respected by all sides, come and celebrate!" He starts driving down a small road towards the headquarters.
