Chapter 191: High Altitude Low Opening
While Chang Ning and the others were nervously setting up the tripwires, the Lone Wolf A Team members weren’t idle either.
In the 026 Logistics Warehouse combat command room, Gao Zhong Dui was leading the other A Team members to formulate the combat plan.
“These little rascals sure know how to pick a place. Wild Wolf, how do we handle this?”
Earth Wolf looked at the position of Chang Ning and the others on the map and laughed and cursed.
Everyone was an experienced veteran, and choosing that place for the decisive battle—anyone knowledgeable could see what it meant at a glance.
The Anti-interrogation Training Ground might look surrounded by mountains on all sides, but a large open ground had been cleared in the middle, making infiltration from the mountain forest far from ideal.
“B Team wants to cut off our infiltration route from the forest. I’m sure they’ve already planted landmines all around waiting for us by now.”
Gao Zhong Dui stared at the map for a long time, occasionally scribbling and drawing in the notebook.
“I think we go up this small river, infiltrate silently, and rescue the hostage.”
Flying Wolf pointed at the river flowing through the Anti-interrogation Training Ground and suggested.
“Good idea, I think it works!”
Flying Wolf’s suggestion lit up Earth Wolf’s eyes; he thought it was a good plan.
“This river is only about ten kilometers from our Wolf Fang’s Barracks, so we can take a boat.
When we’re five or six kilometers from the Anti-interrogation Training Ground, we can swim the rest—saves a lot of effort!”
After finishing his idea, Earth Wolf noticed Wild Wolf’s look toward him was off; it wasn’t a look of praise or encouragement.
“Wild Wolf, what’s wrong?”
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t answer Earth Wolf directly but turned to Ma Da instead: “Gray Wolf, you say.”
“Yes!”
“Earth Wolf, look at the Anti-interrogation Training Ground area—how many ways are there to enter?”
Reading maps was their basic skill, and Earth Wolf thought to himself how he could be stumped by such a simple question.
So he confidently said: “Two ways, what’s up? It’s marked clearly on the map: the forest and the river I mentioned.”
From the information shown on the map, Earth Wolf’s answer was correct, but unfortunately, Gray Wolf’s intent went beyond that.
“Then why don’t you guess if we can think of it, can B Team think of it too?”
Gray Wolf said with a chuckle.
Looking at Gray Wolf’s amiable smiling face, Earth Wolf felt a chill run from his heels straight to his heart.
He began to feel afraid in his heart: “Yeah, B Team was trained by them hands-on. To ensure B Team survives on future battlefields, the old brothers taught them everything they could from years of experience.”
“Something like the ‘three missing one’ tactic?”
“Correct, but no reward.” Gray Wolf joked.
Facing his comrade’s good-natured teasing, Earth Wolf just gave a bitter smile and gently shook his head.
“Alright, buddies.
The joking stops here. Earth Wolf, you’re both right and wrong.”
Seeing everyone’s puzzled faces, Gao Zhong Dui smiled and continued: “There are more than two ways to enter the Anti-interrogation Training Ground—there’s a third.”
As he spoke, Gao Zhong Dui raised his index finger upward.
With the hint given, if they still couldn’t think of it, he figured A Team needed retraining.
“Parachute jump!”
With the hint, everyone suddenly understood and said in unison.
“Not bad, and it has to be high altitude low opening!”
“Playing it this big!”
Flying Wolf exclaimed in admiration.
But admiration aside, the others had no objections.
Gao Zhong Dui’s plan had a higher win rate compared to before; high altitude low opening achieved the element of surprise, and for parachuting to reach the desired effect, high altitude low opening was the most advantageous method.
“Anything to supplement?”
Gao Zhong Dui asked the group as usual.
Seeing everyone shake their heads to indicate no, he continued arranging: “Gray Wolf, go apply to the Captain for an airplane. The rest of you prepare your equipment with me.”
“Me?”
Gray Wolf seemed not to have heard Gao Zhong Dui’s arrangement clearly and pointed at himself unwillingly.
“Yes, you.”
“Alright then.”
It really was him; Gray Wolf resigned himself—who made him the commander?
Going to see He Da Dui made everyone in Wolf Fang nervous, no exceptions.
It wasn’t because He Da Dui loved to reprimand people or anything bad; actually, He Da Dui was quite amiable.
But not everyone could adapt to He Da Dui’s presence—the notorious “fiery war general” of the Southeast Military Region wasn’t a joke; it was forged from enemies’ lives and military merits.
“Each team, report status.”
Geng Jihui, cloaked in camouflage and squatting by the riverbank, couldn’t help yawning before speaking into the microphone by his mouth.
“Sniper Team in position.”
“Assault Team in position.”
“Mountain Wolf ready, over.”
Lao Pao gently placed the last landmine into the dug hole, cleaned up the ends, and disappeared into the forest.
“Hostage stability, over.”
Tearing open the unmarked packaging, Chang Ning squeezed out the compressed biscuits and took a big satisfying bite.
Not bad, peanut flavor.
“Hey, why don’t you share with people!”
Tong Youyou quietly swallowed her saliva; she’d only had a bottle of water all day without real food and was starving.
“You didn’t ask either. If you want some, just say so.
We’re all acquaintances; no need for formalities.”
Chang Ning said as he pulled a box of chocolate from his pocket.
“You wouldn’t ask if I didn’t say?”
“What did you say?”
Seeing Tong Youyou muttering, Chang Ning retracted the chocolate he’d halfway extended.
“Nothing, you’re a big good person!”
“So you were praising me? Then you can say it louder.
It’s just us here anyway; no need to be shy.”
Chang Ning handed the chocolate back to Tong Youyou’s hand and leaned against the wall to recover stamina.
“Hmph! In your dreams!”
Seeing Chang Ning close his eyes, Tong Youyou said softly.
To think I’ve, Tong Youyou, never suffered like this growing up—all Chang Ning’s fault!
But this guy’s features are pretty good-looking.
Because Chang Ning feared being located by Gao Zhong Dui and the others, he didn’t turn on the light; Tong Youyou carefully looked at Chang Ning hiding in the corner by the moonlight from outside.
Chang Ning hugged his gun; moonlight and darkness split him in half down the middle.
After looking for a while, sleepiness came over her; Tong Youyou felt her eyelids as heavy as a thousand pounds, and soon she fell asleep too.
In the dim cabin, A Team quietly awaited the pilot’s news.
“Wild Wolf, arrived over target area, prepare parachute jump!”
“Received.”
Gao Zhong Dui opened his sharp eyes.
The signal lights in the cabin began flashing; no one spoke.
Everyone silently checked their parachute packs carefully once, then quietly watched Gao Zhong Dui, waiting for the captain’s order.
“B Team’s little rascals are getting restless, thinking they’ve learned a few tricks and can bounce around.
Now let’s show them they’re still far off!
A Team!”
Standing in the cabin, Gao Zhong Dui roared.
Everyone responded: “Hoo-ha!”
