Chapter 211: Clash From Afar
“Captain, telegram from the Operations Department.”
Lei Keming took the telegram and, seeing the deputy’s odd expression, asked about it.
“Captain, you should see it for yourself.”
The deputy didn’t know how to put it, so he let Lei Keming read the telegram himself.
Something’s off!
The telegram in his hand was from the Operations Department. He hadn’t broken any rules or been eliminated, so why send him a telegram?
Could Cobra Squad have been annihilated by the enemy at the Red Army Position?
Cobra Squad was his ace. If they were eliminated, it would be like losing an arm.
At this thought, Lei Keming grew anxious and quickly opened the folder to read its contents.
After reading it, Lei Keming didn’t know what kind of mood he was in now.
The good news was that Cobra Squad was fine; the bad news was that the pursuit squad had been eliminated, with only one survivor.
“Tricky!”
How could Lei Keming, well-versed in special operations, fail to realize the threat posed by such a special forces team in the Blue Team Heartland.
No need to think—the Blue Team’s key deployments would all likely face decapitation strikes from this Wolf Fang special forces team next.
“Quickly send a telegram to Blue Team Command, have them dispatch reconnaissance troops to search for this special forces team.
Have all artillery forces, missile units, radio stations, and airports heighten alertness, increase patrols, and guard against Red Army Special Forces decapitation operations.”
The deputy noted down Lei Keming’s instructions and hurried to the communicator without delay, telling him to send the telegram to Blue Team Headquarters as written.
“When it rains, it pours!”
Cobra Squad’s time at the Red Army Position wasn’t easy either; they were frustrated at every turn.
Because before the operation, Chang Ning had reminded He Da Dui of the combat plans Black Tiger Special Forces might execute.
Now it was Lei Keming’s turn to feel the pain.
The Cobra Squad he sent out hadn’t successfully destroyed the Red Army’s radar station, airport, and artillery force like in the original plot.
The prepared Red Army had put Cobra in a very precarious situation. He Da Dui was commanding Wolf Fang special forces soldiers plus Red Army scouts in a dragnet encirclement and interception of Cobra.
Silently calculating his current available forces, Lei Keming decided to continue deploying special forces teams to the Red Army Position.
Since Cobra had already drawn He Zhijun’s attention, why not pull off a “feint at the plank road, attack from Chencang” and launch a decapitation operation against the Red Army.
This plan was highly feasible.
Lei Keming hunched over the sand table, scribbling and calculating Red Army frontline position forces, seeking weak defenses to plan infiltration routes.
He planned to send out his remaining three teams to execute his combat plan this time.
“He Da Dui, you must be pretty pleased right now.”
Lei Keming muttered to himself.
It was only a matter of time before Cobra, trapped in the Red Army Position, was targeted and eliminated by He Zhijun, and the Blue Team Heartland pursuit squad had been taken out by Wolf Fang with a single landmine.
All this bad news gave Lei Keming a headache, but he hadn’t given up—he still had hope to turn the tables!
“He Da Dui, you slap me, I punch you back—that’s kid’s play, no fun.”
Lei Keming set down his pen and exhaled his stagnant qi. “It should be: you dare slap me, and I’ll chop off your head!”
He Zhijun, whom Lei Keming had in mind, was also staring at the sand table right now.
“We haven’t intercepted any Blue Team radio signals—how is Lei Keming commanding this special operations team?”
He Zhijun was at a loss about Lei Keming’s methods at this point.
He didn’t believe that the special forces team they had surrounded wasn’t receiving Blue Team intelligence support.
But the question was, how were they passing the intelligence?
“Captain, why think about useless stuff?
Give me a team, and I’ll take people to wipe out the Blue Team’s special forces team!”
Seeing the situation looking great, Fan Tianlei immediately requested to join the fight.
“What will you wipe them out with? Don’t think that just because we’ve got them surrounded in this twenty-kilometer forest they have no fight left in them.
Lei Keming’s troops are as insidious and cunning as he is—can I trust you to lead men in?”
He Zhijun rejected Fan Tianlei’s request without even considering it.
He thought, doesn’t Fan Tianlei know his own weight? Letting you lead is no different from sending heads.
Thinking of Fan Tianlei made He Zhijun annoyed.
He couldn’t figure out how Fan Tianlei was still in Wolf Fang. Logically, with his leg injury, he should have been transferred out or retired.
“I…”
Seeing the captain wouldn’t let him go, Fan Tianlei wanted to argue further, but the captain didn’t give him a chance to speak.
“Enough, go to the front and keep watch—don’t let them escape.”
With that, he ignored Fan Tianlei and focused on the sand table, pondering something.
“Yes!”
Fan Tianlei had no choice but to follow orders.
Lei Keming, oh Lei Keming, you’re as cunning as ever!
What method are you using exactly? How do you issue combat orders to a team in such a vast rear area?
He Da Dui muttered to himself, his mind racing as he eliminated one possibility after another.
Suddenly his eyes lit up. “Find B Group’s previous report.”
“Yes!”
The communicator pulled out the previous documents and handed them to He Zhijun.
Looking at B Group’s report, He Zhijun showed an “as expected” expression.
“Who has a radio?”
A soldier stood up and said, “Report! I do!”
He Da Dui looked at the sand table: “The Red Army spans over three provinces, so he can only choose a broadcast station in the central province to cover the entire war zone!
Quickly tune to this waveband and search all radio programs!
I want symphonies or operas—anything I don’t usually listen to, find it!”
The radio’s sound changed as He Da Dui frowned tightly, listening carefully to the voices coming from it.
“Wait, what’s this?”
At that moment, a foreign song came from the radio, sounding like French.
The radio’s owner identified it and replied, “It’s《 Tonight No One Sleeps》, Pavarotti’s!”
It seemed this soldier usually loved to study and enjoyed operas.
“Tonight No One Sleeps?”
He Da Dui gave a wry smile and said, “He knows I can figure it out—this is a taunt to me!
At the same time, it’s ordering that surrounded team to cease communications.
In such dire straits, he still wants to go all out—high spirits!
Go, we’ll play one too—select《 The Battle of Sha Jia Bang》!
Also notify everyone to tighten the encirclement to prevent the trapped Blue Team from both sides perishing!”
“Yes!”
The communicator relayed the order to the troops deployed up front.
“Little Lei, you really can’t be underestimated.
You always manage to create all sorts of surprises!” He Da Dui sighed inwardly.
