Chapter 186: Caught Off Guard
“Sha Po Lang and Mountain Wolf are responsible for firepower suppression. After opening fire, the Assault Team seizes the hostage, and the Sniper Team provides flank support.”
After assigning everyone’s tasks, Geng Jihui said again: “This is our first show in front of the superiors. Although it’s very important, I want to emphasize that the mission is even more important.
I hope everyone doesn’t make the mistake of individual heroism. Understood?”
While speaking, Geng Jihui deliberately glanced at Xiao Zhuang.
In the entire B Group, only Xiao Zhuang sometimes has different thoughts from everyone else, and plus being young, Geng Jihui was afraid that Xiao Zhuang would act impulsively.
Everyone responded: “Understood!”
Facing Geng Jihui’s concern, Xiao Zhuang really wanted to retort a few words, but when the words reached his mouth, he didn’t know how to speak.
Recalling since enlistment, he found that the number of times he acted impulsively was not few.
“You kid, don’t be unconvinced. I’m talking about you.
Evil Wolf, watch him closely at that time.”
Geng Jihui had a serious face. Normally, he wouldn’t care about Xiao Zhuang’s bad temper, but during mission execution, everything must prioritize completing the mission.
Xiao Zhuang’s thinking is a double-edged sword. It has miraculous effects in combat, but if not used well, it’s easy to accidentally injure his own people.
On this point, Dog Head Old Gao and the Captain have considerable say.
“Good, we’re moving out.”
With that, Evil Wolf took Xiao Zhuang and left.
The others methodically began preparations. No one cared about what was going through Xiao Zhuang’s mind at this time. With Evil Wolf watching, even if Xiao Zhuang wanted to act impulsively, he would be stopped in time.
“We were staying fine, why suddenly transfer?”
The hostage protected in the middle asked.
“The original place is not safe.”
Gale Captain, following beside the hostage, vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
They had already lost one combat member, which would put Gale at a disadvantage in the subsequent battles.
The structure of the previous building they stayed in couldn’t increase Gale’s probability of winning.
As for playing hide-and-seek with those “bandits” on the opposite side to waste time, Gale Captain hadn’t considered it from the start.
Which army avoids fighting bandits? There has never been such a precedent in Huaxia!
Besides, setting aside the bandit identity, the opposite side were colleagues with them.
Gale Captain knew deeply that dragging it out was not a solution. Being found was only a matter of time, so it was better to take the initiative.
Therefore, along the way, he didn’t pay much attention to hiding his tracks, precisely to let those “bandits” know their position.
But against his wishes, his action trajectory was exposed early, and B Group blocked them halfway.
“Operation!”
Hearing the order, Chang Ning, already in pre-suppression state, was the first to shoot.
Shooting from high to low, and the opponents moved slowly to protect the hostage. In Chang Ning’s view, it was not much different from shooting fixed targets.
Under the system’s shooting mastery boost, targets within this range were extremely easy for Chang Ning to hit.
“Hiss~”
Smoke rose, and Gale’s assault specialist was taken out by Chang Ning.
“Take cover, we’ve been exposed early.”
Gale Captain immediately pressed down the hostage’s body and pulled him to lean against the half-wall.
Though roughly treated, the hostage, despite some scrapes, didn’t complain.
One still needs some contractual spirit. Since he agreed to Gao Zhong Dui to act as hostage, he couldn’t throw a tantrum.
Chang Ning’s gunshot was like a fuse. Right after he fired, gunshots erupted loudly.
Ruined walls, gunshots, smell of gunpowder.
Those who didn’t know would think they were on a Middle East battlefield.
Chang Ning got the first kill. As Chang Ning’s temporary partner, Lao Pao naturally didn’t want to fall behind. He could handle the light machine gun too.
Listening to his firing rhythm, those in the know would give a thumbs up and praise Lao Pao as an excellent gunner.
This situation is very common in Lone Wolf B Group. Everyone is proficient in one or two military skills.
For example, Ostrich flies armed helicopters quite skillfully. Flying Wolf said Ostrich could absolutely switch to the Army Aviation Captain without issue.
Chang Ning, having been in the cookhouse, naturally got the cookhouse spot in B Group.
But normally it’s not needed; everyone solves meals at the barracks cafeteria.
During missions, since Lone Wolf Commando Unit either goes deep behind enemy lines or hides in the forest, they rarely get chances to light fires to avoid exposure, so Chang Ning the cookhouse hasn’t shown his skills in front of everyone yet.
B Group carried limited ammunition, so they didn’t dare to fire freely, making their gunshots not sound dense.
Not dense doesn’t mean weak firepower. The firing rhythm between members can compensate for the shortcoming of insufficient firepower, forcing Gale to be unable to organize an effective counterattack in a short time, successfully covering the Assault Team’s approach to the hostage.
“Damn! You really think I have no way to deal with you?”
Seeing his team’s members suppressed and unable to lift their heads, Gale Captain said viciously.
He knew deeply that continuing like this meant certain defeat. Starting with firepower suppression meant the opponent was covering the Assault Team’s approach.
All from Wolf Fang, who doesn’t know whom? One move and you know what the other is up to.
But sometimes, with interference from other factors, even knowing their moves makes it hard to counter, like now with the opponent shooting from high to low with open field of vision, really posing a problem for Gale.
“Everyone pay attention, immediately throw smoke grenades around us. We’ll rendezvous in the engine room of that ‘ship’.”
Now Gale Captain could only choose to forcefully breakout under thick smoke cover. If hit by a stray bullet during breakout and eliminated, he could only blame bad luck.
“Forest Wolf, the opposite side started throwing smoke grenades.”
The Assault Team was closest to Gale Squad. As soon as the opponent began throwing smoke grenades, Xiao Zhuang reminded Geng Jihui.
But it was too late. White thick smoke quickly enveloped Gale’s location, making it hard for B Group to see the opponent’s action trajectory.
“Mountain Wolf, you and Sha Po Lang continue firepower output. Assault Team, press forward and fire. Sniper Team, look for opportunities.
Remember! Assault Team, don’t rashly enter that ship-shaped building.”
Receiving Geng Jihui’s latest instruction, Chang Ning and Lao Pao increased firepower density, no longer conserving bullets. The Assault Team also half-crouched and randomly fired toward the smoke-covered area.
At this point, all of B Group stopped aiming and just fired randomly—hitting one is one.
The effect of cross firepower coverage immediately showed. An Unlucky Guy was really eliminated by B Group.
Gale broke through the heavy encirclement at the cost of losing one member, continuing to protect the hostage toward the destination.
At this time, Gale Squad was in an extremely sorry state.
B Group’s Assault Team was relentlessly pursuing from behind, and they didn’t dare stop to counterattack.
Did they really think B Group’s Sniper Team was pushovers? The airflow from bullets occasionally whizzing by their ears constantly reminded them not to stop running.
“Big-tailed Wolf, are you and Bald-tailed Wolf sleepwalking?”
“Forest Wolf, do you think I’m a god?”
Ostrich said with a bitter smile.
“You’re a strategic sniper, the best.
If it really doesn’t work, let me do it.”
Chang Ning, influenced by the medic, started liking to tease Ostrich, mainly because Ostrich’s annoyed look was very amusing.
Sure enough, people don’t share the same joys and sorrows.
