Chapter 167: Chang Ning’s Big Picture, Geng Jihui’s Plan
As soon as Chang Ning spoke, he negated everyone’s previous ideas. He had also subconsciously wanted to test it out just like his comrades after realizing the opponent was an old friend, forgetting the original intent of the first operation.
Actually, it was his fault that this happened. If he hadn’t said at the beginning that the opponent might be Gale Squad, everyone’s attention wouldn’t have deviated so ridiculously.
“That’s true.”
Only after Chang Ning’s reminder did everyone react, realizing that they didn’t know from when their mission objective had changed from kidnapping the hostage to confronting Gale Squad head-on.
Although the hostage was now guarded by Gale Squad members, and they inevitably had to engage Gale in the first step planned in the script to complete it, that was different from going head-on.
After figuring it out, Geng Jihui’s last concern was gone. Seeing everyone waiting for him to issue the combat order, at this point they seemed to have no other choice.
No matter what, they still had to clash with Gale Squad. It was impossible to quietly kidnap the hostage without a shred of possibility.
“Then let’s go. Right now, we can only head to the training ground at the address first and then make the next decision.”
After all, the intelligence they had was too scarce. If it was really like Xiao Zhuang said, fast in and fast out would be no different from delivering food.
Moreover, not to mention anything else, that training ground was said to cover a large area. Charging in without figuring out the detailed positions of Gale Squad and the hostage—Geng Jihui was afraid Gao Zhong Dui would immediately rush out and give him a few slaps to sober him up.
As a top student from the military academy, he couldn’t do something so brainless.
“Wait, we’re just going like this?”
Chang Ning stopped the others who were standing up and asked.
“Otherwise? We’ve already wasted quite a bit of time here.”
Qiang Zi didn’t react for a moment and subconsciously responded.
He had little experience now and was still an honest man. He felt embarrassed that while the confrontation had already started, they were still dawdling here, making the other comrades wait.
“We’ve dawdled for so long already, a few more minutes won’t matter.
The training ground at the address is built in the deep mountains, at least fifty kilometers from the barracks. Running there like this would be too honest, and the stamina consumption wouldn’t be small.”
Chang Ning said. He hadn’t forgotten that one of the benefits Gao Zhong Dui gave to Blue Team was that they could request equipment from Wolf Fang armory as long as there was a reasonable reason, theoretically anything except heavy firepower.
“Then should we get a car?”
Ostrich thought of the same thing as Chang Ning, but his suggestion was rejected by Chang Ning.
“Too small, the scale is too small.”
After saying that, Chang Ning even made a gesture that would break Korean men, then said: “If we can openly take advantage, we shouldn’t hold back.
Wouldn’t taking a helicopter directly be better? One step to the finish, much faster than a car.”
As Chang Ning’s plan slowly unfolded before everyone, they realized Chang Ning really dared to think big. At the same time, they secretly warned themselves in their hearts not to give Chang Ning any opportunity in the future—this guy was the type who would shine brightly with just a bit of sunshine.
The conditions Gao Zhong Dui gave them as Blue Team were utilized to the limit by Chang Ning.
“You’re this!”
Ostrich, giving a thumbs up, was sincerely impressed by Chang Ning this time.
“What do you all think?”
The people in B Group weren’t goody-two-shoes either. Just from everyone’s eyes sparkling, Geng Jihui knew he had asked in vain—the answer was obvious without him saying.
“Alright, no need to say anything. Let’s head to the hangar right now.”
After saying that, Geng Jihui stood up, patted the dust off his buttocks, and incidentally gave Chang Ning a look full of complaints.
The idea was proposed by Chang Ning, but the one who had to negotiate with the pilot was him, the team leader. No one else in B Group had the authority, and who knew what kind of trouble it would bring—how could Geng Jihui not complain about Chang Ning.
In response, Chang Ning gave Geng Jihui a big smile; the brighter the smile, the more depressed Geng Jihui felt.
After arriving at the hangar, the trouble Geng Jihui had imagined didn’t appear. After the pilot asked about the airplane’s purpose and reported upward for approval, he confidently handed the airplane over to B Group.
“Looks like not everyone is as bad as Flying Wolf.”
Seeing how straightforward the pilot docking with him was, Geng Jihui couldn’t help but sigh. In the past, he hadn’t suffered few torments from Flying Wolf Gao Sheng Han over airplane matters.
“Maybe this time you can take the chance to get a little revenge on Flying Wolf.”
Chang Ning found a gap to insert and stirred Geng Jihui up.
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Geng Jihui also wanted to get revenge on Flying Wolf; it seemed he had suffered quite a few losses at Flying Wolf’s hands usually.
Although the airplane was successfully borrowed, the pilot didn’t come along.
The superiors wouldn’t let them exploit the loophole so easily.
With no other way, Chang Ning had to operate it personally. Fortunately, they had training in special vehicle piloting usually. Not to mention an attack helicopter—even if it was a warship, Chang Ning and B Group could manage it somewhat.
Even if not comparable to professional operators, they still had the ability to get the machine moving.
“Everyone sit tight, I’m taking off.”
After the reminder, Chang Ning slowly pulled the airplane up.
Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the airplane lifted off the ground, and Chang Ning piloted it whistling toward the destination.
“Testing audio now. Teammates who hear this, please respond.”
After arriving at the mission location, they might have to engage in firefight, so keeping the communication channel clear was extremely important. Thus, Geng Jihui hurriedly checked the communication equipment on the airplane.
“Mountain Wolf received, voice clear.”
“Evil Wolf can hear you.”
“This is Siberian Wolf.”
“Big-tailed Wolf received.”
“Hehe, Bald-tailed Wolf can hear too.”
“Sha Po Lang received.”
Voices of comrades kept coming through the earpiece until finally Chang Ning’s voice came through, and only then did Geng Jihui breathe a sigh of relief.
They were on an airplane now; if the communication equipment had a problem, there’d be no time to replace it, and there was no repair equipment on the airplane. If the communication equipment really broke, it would be adding insult to injury for Lone Wolf B Group.
“Now I’ll explain our combat plan.”
Perhaps because Geng Jihui was the team leader, he sometimes seemed indecisive, but most of the time his professional qualities were very solid. Just like now, a complete combat plan was fresh out of the oven.
“Because our intelligence is very scarce, the plan is simple. Everyone discuss it and try to perfect it.”
Immediately after, Geng Jihui announced his plan to everyone. Chang Ning also listened roughly. The plan was indeed simple, but it was the most suitable for their current situation.
Summing it up, just two steps.
First step: Find a place about ten kilometers from the training ground suitable for helicopter takeoff and landing, park the airplane there, then everyone quickly approaches the outskirts of the training ground.
