Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 243 Special Forces Blades Out of the Sheath 15

So at dawn the next day, the Red Army discovered that many important transportation routes had been destroyed by the Blue Army's special forces, and the attached troops were marching slowly and unable to advance to the designated positions as planned. The artillery that had already entered the field, including the long-range artillery units, lost one-third, and the casualties on the infantry side were even more exaggerated.

For the above reasons, the Red Army could not launch an attack at nine o'clock. Moreover, after a night of fighting, they only wiped out less than half of the Blue Army's special forces!

The situation was so bad that the head of the Red Army headquarters was so angry that he cursed the Blue Army for not following the rules and acting recklessly, saying that this was not giving face to the headquarters leader. What if he was unhappy and took his anger out on the military region? This kind of failure in the exercise, in a big way, was related to the collective interests of the military region, and in a small way, it was related to whether the collar badge on his shoulder could be replaced with a better-looking one.

It was already daybreak. Gong Jian and all the surviving soldiers arrived at the designated hiding place before sunrise to rest and wait for the general attack to begin. After counting the number of people, it was found that after a night of fighting, the Sharpshooter Company 4 had suffered a 50% reduction in its men.

"Instructor, we can go home after nine o'clock!" Squad leader Lao Hei said a little tiredly as he looked at the green treetops outside the cave.

"Not so optimistic! There are still seventy-five minutes before the general offensive is launched, but I don't feel that a big battle is about to begin." Gong Jian looked up at his watch.

"Instructor, this is a bit feudal and superstitious." Squad leader Lao Hei joked.

"This is an intuition generated by long-term battlefield experience. Not to mention me, you must have this feeling now!" Gong Jian said as he looked outside.

"What should we do? The supplies we brought are prepared for 24 hours. If the Red Army's attack is delayed indefinitely, we will no longer be able to effectively damage the Blue Army's rear." Squad leader Lao Hei was also very uneasy.

"If the Red Army cannot organize an offensive in the near future under the attack of the Blue Army's special forces, then we will end the war!" Gong Jian said firmly.

"Are we going to end the war?" asked Squad Leader Lao Hei.

"Yes, we must believe in our soldiers. A large-scale war may also be changed in its entire direction or outcome by a small person!"

Gong Jian looked at the scenery outside the cave, then glanced at the soldiers who were sleeping leaning against each other and reiterated his thoughts.

……

While the officers and soldiers of both the Red and Blue sides were licking their wounds in tacit understanding and waiting for dark to do another job or get stabbed, Tang Xinyi's information warfare team and the network center officers and soldiers of the Langya Special Operations Brigade worked together for nearly fifteen hours and finally cleared the virus from the special operations command center and restarted the system. For safety reasons, they also roughly improved the security warning procedures.

They didn't want to work so hard, but the elusive virus had already taken over all the equipment in the command center. If they wanted an absolutely stable operating environment, they had to clean up all the equipment. They were busy until now and had to reheat their lunch several times.

Fan Tianlei had no appetite. He stared at the empty map on the big screen in the command center and pondered where these people had gone.

"Engineer Tang, it stands to reason that once the system is well maintained, we should be able to find them through the infrared rays you mentioned, but why is there no response on this map?"

"This is impossible. Our system has been improved and strengthened. There is no way they can escape monitoring unless they go underground." Tang Xinyi's confidence returned.

"Dig underground? Oh no! Quickly order the troops to gather and encircle the 337 hilly area!" Fan Tianlei shouted loudly.

Inspired by Tang Xinyi's words, Fan Tianlei realized belatedly that the Red Army soldiers were blatantly conducting team-building under his nose. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to encircle the place where the Sharpshooter Company 4 was resting. Now it was still three hours before dark!

An explosion reached the ears of the guard, and he hurriedly woke up Gong Jian and Lao Hei, and a sharp whistle spread throughout the cave. At this moment, it was superfluous to say anything. Everyone took their weapons and equipment and walked out of the cave silently towards their destination. Gong Jian and Lao Hei looked at the backs of He Chenguang and others, raised their fists and bumped them, their eyes full of tragic and resoluteness.

We'll do our best to hold back the enemy, it's up to you to turn the tide!

"Report to the Wolf's Den, one of our companies fell into a trap set by the enemy and was completely wiped out. Requesting support, requesting support!"

"Are they pigs? The enemy who is resting there must have set up all kinds of traps and early warning signal triggering devices around. I can't think of this at all. What kind of soldiers are they and what kind of war are they fighting? Write down their numbers and chief officers and hand them over to their superiors for handling when the time comes!" Fan Tianlei slammed the table and cursed.

"Chief of Staff Fan, is there anything special about the 337 hilly area you mentioned?" Tang Xinyi had not thought of this.

"In addition to the bushes, the terrain there also has many caves. Some large caves can even accommodate hundreds of people. As long as you get in, you won't be able to sense any line." Fan Tianlei regretted his impulsiveness.

When thinking of where the opponent might be hiding, the first thing to do is not to alert them, but to arrange troops to surround them and wait for them to come out and be exposed to the system created by Tang Xinyi and others, and then annihilate or capture them one by one.

I never expected that they were so vigilant and would place the early warning signal so far away.

Although the arrest was unsuccessful, it was a devastating blow to the Fourth Company. By midnight that night, except for the four new recruits, the entire Fourth Company, including the highest commander Gong Jian, was judged dead and withdrew from the exercise.

At this time, Yu Xian and Wang Yanbing were in one group, and He Chenguang and Li Erniu were in another group. They got separated while escaping from the Blue Army's pursuit.

"Gong Jian, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Fan Tianlei came to Gong Jian with a cold face.

"I don't talk to living people!" Gong Jian tilted his head.

"Don't try that on me. I brought you up, so you can't be ungrateful!" Fan Tianlei refused to give up.

"We are now separated by life and death, so it is better not to communicate too much." Gong Jian didn't even bother to turn his head back.

"It's true that people forget about you when you're gone! I just have one question. As far as I know, the director team of this exercise did not assign informationized troops and missile troops to the Red Army. But why was our network intrusion blocked or even destroyed this time? Do you have an expert?" Fan Tianlei turned to the side and looked into Gong Jian's eyes and said.

Gong Jian simply fell to the ground, closed his eyes and began to sleep. He had been nervous for more than twenty hours. Now that he had completed all the tasks, he had to take a good rest now, otherwise it would take an unknown amount of time to review the exercise after it was over.

Having gained nothing, Fan Tianlei returned to the big screen in the command center in frustration. He became even more upset when he saw the light spots on it.

"What's going on? Why are these four escaped fish still hanging around outside? What are the troops trying to capture them for?"

"Number Five, these four guys are really tenacious. According to the reports we have received so far, they have killed at least fifty or sixty of our people during their escape." Chen Shanming was also very anxious.

"Shanming, let's go in person! I'll be responsible for number one and two, and you'll be responsible for number three and four. Engineer Tang, you continue to watch their movements and keep in touch. I don't believe that this Monkey King can escape from the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha!" Fan Tianlei gritted his teeth.

"Yes!" Chen Shanming said and went out to gather the team.

A moment later, two helicopters took off one after another and flew into the distance, finally disappearing into the vast night. Only two red and blue flashes could be seen.

At the edge of a swamp, He Chenguang and Li Erniu finally got rid of their pursuers again and were lying on a patch of dry and fallen reeds, gasping for breath.

"Morning Light, how long will we have to run away?"

"Erniu, we are not running for our lives. We are following the orders given by our instructor and doing everything possible to disrupt the Blue Army's headquarters and destroy their command system." He Chenguang reiterated the order he received before leaving.

"This... this is too difficult!" Li Erniu wanted to cry but had no tears.

"You can't think of it, right? The Blues can't think of it either!" He Chenguang spoke lightly but his brows were deeply frowned.

Since reappearing in the afternoon, the Blue Army's people seemed to have eyes and knew their whereabouts clearly. He knew about thermal imaging, but the scope of its use was a bit outrageous.

"Chen Guang, look, is that a meteor over there? The red and blue ones are coming towards us!" Li Erniu raised his hand and said to the two twinkling spots in the distant sky.

"Erniu, that's not a meteor, it's a helicopter! Run!" He Chenguang jumped up suddenly.
