Chapter 166: Chang Ning’s Reminder
Knowing that he had revealed some aspects of his personality, Chang Ning felt a bit embarrassed and quickly pretended to cough to cover it up and divert everyone’s attention.
“Xiao Geng, what did you just ask me? Your opinion on the mission, right?
This is how I see it. Since the essence of this red vs. blue confrontation is to test us, the difficulty in it certainly won’t be simple.
So this hostage won’t be easily kidnapped by us either.”
Although it was to divert everyone’s attention, Chang Ning’s analysis wasn’t baseless. He started from the purpose of this confrontation, and its credibility was still quite high.
Everyone took this assessment very seriously. After all, it not only involved the overall status of their B Group in the leader’s mind, but most importantly, it might also relate to the future of Wolf Fang.
Chang Ning really had ideas, and everyone immediately looked at him with eager eyes.
Although everyone vaguely guessed that Gao Zhong Dui wouldn’t let them pass easily, they really couldn’t guess the specific process.
So Chang Ning’s current remarks had some reference value for B Group.
“Then hurry up and tell us, don’t just keep us in suspense.”
Xiao Zhuang urged from the side.
“Calm down, why are you getting anxious when it’s just starting?”
Although he said to calm down, Chang Ning still concisely stated his view.
“Actually, it’s not that complicated. According to the mission delivered by the old squad leader earlier, we need to kidnap a pharmaceutical professional researcher.
Did you notice that this address is very strange.”
Reminded by Chang Ning, Geng Jihui instantly reacted.
“The address here is one of our Wolf Fang’s CQB training grounds, surrounded by some abandoned unfinished buildings, with a very complex environment.”
“Most importantly, this training ground was only recently put into use, and none of us have been there.”
Lao Pao said with a bitter face. After analyzing to this extent, if they still couldn’t see through Gao Zhong Dui’s scheme, they would be all show and no substance.
“The ones training there recently are” Chang Ning tried hard to recall the training tasks of Wolf Fang’s various tactical squads.
Thanks to Chang Ning and the others in B Group often assisting Gao Zhong Dui in training Wolf Fang’s elites, they were fairly familiar with the training plans of some of Wolf Fang’s squads.
“Gale Squad!”
Everyone said in unison the name of the team using the training ground.
After saying it, everyone looked at each other, their expressions complex, with a mix of relief and a bit of ill intent.
Speaking of Gale Squad, Chang Ning was very familiar with them. The personnel of this team were all trainees from the same batch as him who participated in the Wolf Fang selection, all persevering to the end as “fellow sufferers,” so it was hard not to be familiar with each other.
“Good grief, all acquaintances! This is getting interesting.”
Ostrich and Chang Ning were thinking the same thing, and they exchanged a knowing smile.
“I think we should stay far away from these two guys with no bottom line, to avoid getting sacked later.”
As if to show his determination, Qiang Zi moved his body toward Geng Jihui while speaking.
“Gao Zhong Dui really knows how to scheme. He wants us to help him test Gale Squad’s current strength.”
The medic, who pulled out a Seven Dragon Balls comic book from somewhere and was reading it, put down the comic book and chimed in. This guy was good at multitasking.
After guessing who the opponent was, everyone relaxed, but in the end Geng Jihui still told everyone not to let their guard down.
The training content they received after splitting up was different, and now no one knew the other’s specific information, so it was better to play it safe.
“From receiving the news of the red vs. blue confrontation training to now, about ten minutes have passed. These little guys are huddled together with no action. You didn’t give them any special arrangement, did you?”
He Commander’s face was calm, and his questioning tone showed no special emotion. In fact, he was already a bit unhappy now.
The performance of Chang Ning and B Group in the surveillance reminded this old commander of some unpleasant things.
“Leader, you’ve wronged me. Actually, I’m also puzzled about what these boys are doing, but I guess they’re discussing the combat plan.”
Seeing that the leader had misunderstood him, He Zhijun quickly clarified.
Actually, this couldn’t be blamed on the leaders sitting in front of the surveillance. Chang Ning and their operations were somewhat unconventional.
For such an important matter, they just sat on the ground with their heads together whispering something. The surveillance distance was too far, and the audio wasn’t very clear, so no wonder the leaders were puzzled—anyone unfamiliar with the situation would be curious about Chang Ning and the others’ behavior.
“Indeed extraordinary. You can tell at a glance that this team is not ordinary.”
He Commander also felt that Xiao He wasn’t the type to put on formalistic airs. After clearing his mind, he looked at the seven soldiers in the surveillance and felt they were even more extraordinary, especially that Chang Ning whose temperament was quite unique.
“Since we know the identity of the first opponent, there’s nothing to fear. We don’t know the training ground on the address either.
I say we charge straight there, catch them off guard with a quick in-and-out to end the battle. Too much dawdling will create variables.”
Xiao Zhuang said in a muffled voice.
“Isn’t that a bit too risky?”
Geng Jihui hesitated about Xiao Zhuang’s suggestion. The terrain there was very unfamiliar to them, and although they knew the members of Gale Squad, they were in the dark about their strength.
Facing such extremely unfavorable conditions, how could Geng Jihui, as captain, not hesitate?
“Right now we’re playing foreign troops, and all our military intelligence is denied access to us. In this situation, no matter what we want to do, we must clash with Gale Squad, so I think Xiao Zhuang’s suggestion is feasible, but it needs some changes.”
Chang Ning had a different view. The team was usually very democratic, but once it involved this kind of military operation, if they didn’t convince Geng Jihui, the team leader, no action of B Group could succeed.
“You say it first.”
Geng Jihui felt Chang Ning’s statement was reasonable, and even his own attitude had softened a bit, but he still didn’t make a decision right away. Geng Jihui wanted to hear Chang Ning’s opinion.
Last time in the city rescuing Yatou, a large part of the combat plan was due to Chang Ning’s flash of inspiration. Chang Ning’s quick thinking was truly extremely important in B Group.
Being stared at intently by everyone, Chang Ning didn’t feel embarrassed at all—his face had long been thickened.
“I think our direction is wrong. In the script given by Gao Zhong Dui, we’re foreign troops, kidnappers.
Our mission is to kidnap the hostage, not to go head-to-head with Gale Squad, so the most important thing now is to first figure out the hostage’s location. As for Gale Squad, avoid fighting if possible.
Don’t forget we have casualty limits.”
