Chapter Thirteen: The Squad Takes Shape

  Everyone rarely had a short holiday, all surrounded by sitting in the dormitory on a large bed made up of four beds chatting.

  It's sad to say that more than a dozen brothers can't think of anything to play with. Even when chatting, they can't get out of three sentences without talking about their respective professional expertise.

  Perhaps they gained abilities that ordinary people can't reach, but what they paid for was a beautiful childhood and an ordinary happy life.

  In this dazzling society, how many people are complaining about their misfortune in front of the mirror every day? A little bit of their own flaws will be infinitely magnified by these fragile people, and they will use all kinds of pitiful means to get sympathy from others. At night, they will secretly mock someone else's misfortune.

  There are always some strong people who don't speak or show it, but silently endure the various misfortunes and pains bestowed upon them by heaven.

  They use happiness, indifference and strength to cover up their own misfortune. They don't need excessive sympathy; they would rather shatter their own bones than struggle to get back up on their own. Perhaps, other people's sympathy is just ridicule in their eyes!

  Undoubtedly, they are the true strong ones. Although they have abandoned kindness and justice, they remain unyielding and proud, with their own bottom line. They can sell out their lives, but never their dignity!

  That afternoon, Jie Yan ran to the office and brought back a bag of soldier tags. According to the numbers on the tags, they were distributed in order, with each tag consisting of a 40cm long steel ball chain connecting a pure silver ring and a rectangular soldier tag. The tag only had one set of numbers. The ring had a circle of raised dots.

  Nothing special was seen, and everyone took off their rings, put the sign on their necks, and then put back on their rings.

  After seeing everyone bring their issued ID cards, the wolf gave a loud order and everyone rushed towards the armory.

  In an underground arsenal with a minimum area of 500 square meters, everyone is selecting their own equipment.

  AUG A3, originally from Austria, is a bullpup, magazine-fed, select-fire assault rifle with a gas piston operating system. Magazine capacity: 30 rounds; Caliber: 5.56mm; Muzzle velocity: 970 m/s; Effective range: 500m (standard barrel); Rate of fire: 680-800 rounds per minute.

  He silently recited the data of this gun in his heart, and Can Lang couldn't help but feel a little sorry. The 5.56mm caliber was too small, if only this gun had a 7.62mm caliber it would be better.

  The lame wolf who was about to turn around and leave was pulled back by the blacksmith beside him, "Boss, this gun is not bad, why don't you choose it?"

  The wolf shrugged and said, "The 5.56mm is too weak, I'm more used to the 7.62mm NATO rounds."

  "Hey, this is a piece of cake. Give me three days and I'll guarantee you an AUG that fires 7.62mm NATO rounds." The blacksmith patted his chest, assuring the boss.

  Several others who heard the blacksmith's loud voice came over and shouted to get their own weapons modified. "Don't push! Don't push! Who pulled my pants?! If you want to modify something, give me a list first! Line up!" The blacksmith yelled as he escaped, or else he would have been trampled to death by the crowd later on.

  Shaking his head, he ignored the crazy brother and continued to provoke. He casually pulled out a bayonet and looked at it in the light of the lamp, feeling utterly helpless - this material was really too poor.

  After picking and choosing, the Lone Wolf walked out with only an AUG and a Beretta M92FS. Looking at the crowd of brothers at the basement door, the Lone Wolf felt a strong urge to faint. This is a group of arms dealers!

  The most eye-catching ones are the chicken eyes and wild boars. The chicken eyes, which are almost two meters tall and have caught up with the wolf's head, are carrying a 5,000-round ammunition box and holding a GAU19 (a famous variant of the Vulcan cannon) while asking the blacksmith to replace it with a portable waist gun holder, without paying attention to the nearly 70 kilograms of weight. Next to him, the wild boar, who is also carrying a 5,000-round ammunition box, is single-handedly holding an M249 and looking at the chicken eyes with a sullen face.

  Others are relatively normal, AK brothers are as named, each with an AK74. The monkey and the madman, as well as the team doctor Hua Tuo and the rattlesnake, all use the M4A1 Christmas tree, except that the monkey and the madman also hung M203 grenade launchers on their rifles. The explosive soldier pliers took a SSG550 sniper rifle. In the jungle, using large-caliber sniper rifles is not stupid or a large team, so Knife was very wise to choose a low-cost SVD. Another sniper, Accurate Star's kid, actually hugged an 8-kilogram PSG1, and when asked why, it turned out that this gun was the most expensive, a complete little money lover, leaving people speechless.

  After selecting their weapons, the blacksmith pushed all the ones that needed modification to his own workshop using a small cart. Canis led the remaining brothers to continue purchasing the rest of their equipment, which were essential for future meals and wouldn't be taken care of if they didn't complete their tasks.

  As they walked back, when everyone had carried their equipment back to the dormitory, it was already dark. Lying on his own bed, Can Lang fiddled with his military ID in his hand, thinking chaotically. Looking at a room full of brothers, Can Lang felt for the first time that pay was no longer a luxury.

  Rarely, this night, the lonely wolf couldn't sleep. Scenes from the past kept replaying in his mind like a movie that wouldn't stop.

  The next morning, the blacksmith, covered in sweat, threw an AUG and a three-edged military dagger onto the breakfast table of the Lame Wolf. "Boss, take a look at my craftsmanship. The AUG has been modified to fire 7.62 NATO rounds, and I've also made three spare barrels that aren't quite finished yet. The three-edged military dagger is made from high-chromium steel, and it took me four knives to make it. The hardness is about 65 HRC. And I've also rushed out an Ottonelli Jungle King for you, which will be delivered this afternoon along with the barrels." The blacksmith didn't hesitate to snatch away the Lame Wolf's breakfast and start eating it.

  Looking at his brother who had been busy for a night, Can's heart was filled with emotion. The eight years of life and death had passed, and everyone in their hearts had put down their differences and were the best brothers.

  He picked up the rifle on the table, Can Lang walked towards the underground shooting range. A clip was fired, Can Lang patted the gun body with satisfaction. This guy's craftsmanship is indeed not bragging...

  In the blink of an eye, three days passed and everyone's equipment had been fully modified. At this time, VX squad's first mission arrived. Perhaps to give this squad a chance to warm up, this mission was not difficult.

  "In the conference room, 'I'll just briefly introduce this mission. This time we're going to occupy an armed point located 100 kilometers from the Golden Triangle. Everyone has a briefing in their hands, so I won't say more. But remember, this is the first mission of our VX squad. Whoever messes it up, don't blame me for turning my back on you!' The residual wolf, who had been baptized in the Iraq War, suddenly burst out with an iron-blooded aura that was inconsistent with his age, easily stunning all the brothers in the room."

  "Let me say it one last time, we're not here for sightseeing. Once on board, the mission officially begins. No questions, no nonsense, and absolutely no foolish behavior! Otherwise, if something happens, don't expect us to come save you! OK! Boarding!"

  With a single order from the remaining wolf, the 11 brothers who had verified their guns bid farewell to the touch and blacksmiths and boarded the Black Hawk helicopter of Mountain Eagle. Although it was a bit crowded with 12 people in the cabin that could only hold 11, fortunately, the distance of this mission was not too far, and half an hour later, taking advantage of the night, the helicopter dropped off the 12 children in a clearing in the jungle and returned.

  "Repeat, our mission this time is to take over one of the armed places here. I don't want a massacre, try not to cause too many casualties. Understand?" Lang Hu's hand covered the transmitter for the last time, after all, it was his first time leading a team on a mission. Lang Hu said he wasn't nervous, but that was a lie.

  "I understand!" The crowd responded in a low voice, and the residual wolf's heart was involuntarily convinced by the response that suppressed excitement and combat intent. At least the momentum was very satisfying.

  "Keep wireless clean, sniper cover rear, double arrow attack formation advance!"

  The Double Arrowhead formation is a 12-man squad, which can be further divided into the Vanguard Team (2 people), Firepower Teams (2 teams of 4 people each) and Command Team (2 people). The arrangement and combination of these four teams form the basic variation of the small team formation. This formation has the vanguard duo leading the way at the front, advancing with mutual cover on both sides. The first firepower team forms the first right-slanting arrowhead and advances, while the command team personnel closely follow the first firepower team personnel. The second firepower team follows behind, forming a left-slanting arrowhead and advancing. This formation has a tight structure, evenly distributed firepower, and short reaction times for various possible situations, making it a widely used formation. Additionally, if the horizontal distance between teams is increased, this formation can immediately transform into a wide-area search formation, which is effective and useful in open terrain for rapid searches, especially when encountering unknown enemy forces. It allows for the fastest deployment in the shortest time and effective annihilation of the enemy.

  Perfect tactical movement coordination, efficient marching speed. An hour later, everyone easily broke through the blockade and arrived at their destination. A building similar to a stronghold appeared in everyone's night vision goggles.

  The first mission of the VX Special Forces is about to begin...
