Chapter 28: Notify the Military Dog Unit, Zhao Jianjun has arrived!
“Interesting!”
“Really interesting.”
“Good!”
“Really good.”
......
The wits and bravery displayed by the blue and red teams left the directors of the command center speechless with praise.
The combat prowess demonstrated by both sides was truly exceptional!
Whether it was tactical arrangements, situational assessments, temporary dispatch, on-site command, or execution efficiency, everything was spot-on.
This, perhaps, is the deep-seated foundation of a certain mysterious Eastern power.
The *Art of War* and the *Thirty-Six Stratagems*, born two thousand five hundred years ago, are now common knowledge, with even ordinary individuals capable of reciting *Deception*, *Beauty Trap*, *Ambush*, *Surprise Attack*, and so on.
This is something African brothers will never learn.
Not to mention the advanced tactical and strategic applications.
Meanwhile, at the blue team headquarters on the training ground, Major General Xu learned of the airborne assault.
While somewhat unexpected, it was also within reason.
Zhao Jianjun's Airborne Regiment was renowned in the military district for its fierce combat capabilities. Now assigned to the red team, they undoubtedly represented a trump card in their hands.
How could Qin Lang, the master of troop movements, overlook such an elite unit?
Zhao Jianjun was also an old acquaintance.
Last time, he had been 'burned' by Zhao, losing a bottle of Wuliangye from his office.
This time, he was curious to see what Zhao planned to abscond with.
“Order the troops near the airdrop zone to assemble immediately. Conduct a thorough search, blow up anything you can, burn everything you can. When hunting rats, use a heavy hammer and leave no room for mercy. Also, relocate heavy firepower positions, communication devices, and other important equipment...”
“Dispatch the Military Dog Unit for reinforcement. Tell the unit’s instructor that Zhao Jianjun has arrived.”
“Yes!”
“Right, send in the 'Thunder God' strike team. Let’s see who’s the real airborne ace.”
........
The command was issued, and the blue team, like a precise machine, began to operate with its gears turning in unison.
At the same time, in a mountain range to the southeast.
“Groundhog hides in a pagoda.”
“Zhao, the Battalion Commander, is so cool.”
The code words were correct. Another ‘Tiger Regiment’ soldier joined the squad.
This is the universally recognized method for airborne troops to find each other after landing and form a team.
For long-distance communication, they use bamboo slats, bird whistles, or other objects to make sounds.
For shorter distances, they use code words.
Well, the ‘Tiger Regiment’ codes are a bit out there, but they have an advantage – they’re hard to crack.
As more and more people joined, a small unit was formed in the woods.
If they followed their previous combat methods, their first priority would be… to run!
Yes, run for their lives, desperately trying to escape any potential enemy encirclement.
Then, they would carry out their combat mission behind enemy lines.
They might cut telephone lines, destroy communication equipment, blow up bridges, or assassinate key targets...
But now, the various small units of the ‘Tiger Regiment’ were engaged in a game of ‘mountain treasure hunt.’
The accuracy of airdrops is not as precise as outsiders imagine. Just like many people don’t know that the average survival time of an airborne soldier on the battlefield is only 19 seconds.
If you were to enumerate them in detail, you could write a book about 100 ways an airborne soldier could die.
So, Zhao Jianjun said that whoever finds the ‘Cat Cat’ car gets to keep it.
The squad with the ‘Cat Cat’ car would execute the highest-level mission.
This led the ‘Tiger Regiment’ to embark on a ‘treasure hunt’ before the enemy could surround them.
Soon, all the ‘Cat Cat’ cars that had been airdropped, dozens in total, were found.
They immediately established contact using the vehicle-mounted communication equipment.
“Zhao, the Battalion Commander, are you there?”
“......(no response)”
“Please assign our next mission, Battalion Commander.”
“It seems like he… didn’t find his car.”
Other voices could be heard through the communication channel.
It’s normal. In an airborne squad, you often see the battalion commander leading a group of battalion commanders and company commanders on combat missions.
After all, when you fall from the sky, no one can guarantee who finds who.
In any case, once you land, even a corps commander is just a soldier.
Thus, among the squads that established communication links, someone quickly took on the role of commander and issued the next order.
Soon, the synchronized roar of engines echoed through the mountains, and the ‘Cat Cat’ cars navigated the rugged terrain, climbing over mountains and crossing valleys.
At that moment, 7 kilometers away from the mountain range, on the road.
A large number of soldiers were rushing towards this direction, conducting a targeted search.
Several jeeps were also speeding along the road.
One jeep was loaded with military dogs. The proud dogs, upon hearing their handler shout “Revenge for your pups!”, barked ferociously.
In another jeep, the ‘Thunder God’ strike team sat fully armed, quiet and calm.
As the vehicle swayed, they engaged in casual conversation.
“Do you think Zhao, the Battalion Commander, is trying to pull off a strategic insertion behind enemy lines?”
“Doesn’t look like it. They didn’t drop that many people this time.”
“Assassinate the commander?”
“That’s plausible. Last time, we succeeded in an assassination attempt, and considering Zhao, the Battalion Commander’s, vindictive nature, he’ll definitely retaliate in kind.”
“Let’s see who captures Zhao, the Battalion Commander, this time.”
“Haha, good! Speed up. Based on the timeline, they shouldn’t be too far ahead!”
........
Meanwhile, in a secluded mountain pass, Zhao Jianjun was all alone, hanging from a tree.
He watched as the ‘Cat Cat’ cars passed by in the distance, heading towards the horizon. He desperately called out, but no one heard him.
He pulled out his dagger and tried to cut the connecting rope of his parachute. His face flushed red as he struggled…
