Chapter 1604: They Who Protect the Country
How could the command center let the two teams pa.s.s so easily? The arrangements would only get more complicated so that they could observe everyone’s combat ability and see if they could adjust their tactics in time.
After giving his orders, Li Jinnian turned to look at Ye Jian, who was guarding the area. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Jian noticed his gaze and turned her head.
Obviously, she had something to say.
He pointed in front and then pointed at Ye Jian and himself. Li Jinnian didn’t ask. Instead, he looked at Ye Jian.
Ye Jian wanted to say her opinion, but she immediately understood what he meant. That was what she meant too.
They suspected that there were no more hostages in this area. They might be at the periphery.
The original plan was simple. First, it was to delay their time. Second, the commander needed to see if Li Jinnian could notice anything amiss and make the right decision immediately.
This time, the command center couldn’t see their actual combat situation. They could only watch the data. Hence, the command center could roughly estimate their performance through the length of time the two teams used.
The Snow Region Brigade was already close to the location where the two hostages were hiding. Xia Jinyuan, who was as sensitive as a leopard, made a gesture for the two of them to surround them. The two members of the Snow Region Brigade rushed out like beasts from the mountains and pounced on the hiding place of the ‘hostages.’
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots were heard. Seven meters away, the other two members of the Snow Region Brigade completed their shooting. They were shooting at the ‘targets’ with the hostages. They took 22 minutes to complete their mission.
The Snow Region Brigade won this round.
When they completed the last effective shooting point, the command center immediately knew that the Snow Region Brigade had completed shooting all of their ‘targets.’ They had successfully rescued all the ‘hostages.’ No ‘hostages’ had been killed.
“Group B, complete all target shooting.” The major general’s voice could be heard through the earpieces of every member of the Snow Region Brigade. “They use 22 minutes to complete their mission..”
The Snow Region Brigade only knew that they were done, but they didn’t know if the Storm Commando Brigade was done.
They walked in front of the local soldiers who had gathered and were cooperating with them. As Xia Jinyuan saluted, all the members of the Snow Region Brigade saluted the soldiers who cooperated with them unconditionally to express their grat.i.tude.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Led by Xia Jinyuan, every member of the Snow Region Brigade shook hands with the local soldiers and thanked them.
They took off their combat gloves and held their hands that were also calloused. They thanked them and smiled. There was no unfamiliarity or distance between them. They were all wearing the same military uniform and protecting the country together!
After shaking hands, Xia Jinyuan organized his team again. The 22 members of the Snow Region Brigade strode towards another combat area.
The soldiers of the local forces stood straight and saluted as they watched the elite special forces leave.
The drizzle continued. The twenty-two figures, which were as straight as poplar trees, walked towards the depths of the mountains step by step with a fearless aura that even soldiers respected.
The Special Forces soldiers wearing forest camouflage uniforms and new combat helmets were indeed different from them. Every step they took made them feel that their steps could shake the entire mountain. They were firm and steady.
