Chapter 2026: Battle Deployment
The sound of pigeons could be heard in the room where the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn. They were no longer as gentle as when they were relaxed. Instead, they were filled with coldness. “That’s right, but if the human body temperature signal disappears, it means that our engineering team is in danger.”
He tapped lightly on his notebook with a pencil. “According to the military’s arrangements, we need to take a 48-hour journey on the freighter before taking a transit to the destination country.
“Since the satellite signal came from a small island on the sea, we need to sneak into a sight-seeing s.h.i.+p and jump to the sh.o.r.e about 34 nautical miles away from the island.
“It’s been six and a half hours since our engineering team was captured. Comrades, we need to be quick when we reach the sh.o.r.e. We need to complete the infiltration within four days to rescue them.”
Instead of directly taking a plane to the destination country, they would take a freighter and enter the destination country like stowaways. Then, they would use fake ident.i.ties to enter the destination country for the sake of concealing their ident.i.ties.
Next was the allocation of combat missions. Although Long Eagle had yet to arrive, there were still missions that he had to be responsible for. He would be informed when he arrived.
Without using any pen or paper, Pigeon, whose fingers were wet, drew out the map of the island on the hotel’s dark coffee table.
A usual operation team consisted of six people—two snipers, one dynamiter, one fire support, and two a.s.sault members.
The mission this time was a secret rescue mission. Therefore, there were two more rescue personnel, one more fire support, and one more commander. The ten people’s mission was clear.
For this mission, Pigeon arranged for Ye Jian to be the first raider. “You’re pet.i.te and good at hiding. You’re very suitable for infiltrating the island. White Crane will be the second raider. We’ll then enter the battlefield together.”
White Crane and Ye Jian had worked together before. It was the most suitable team. They didn’t have any doubts about this.
“The rescue team will be the last to infiltrate. It’ll also be the reinforcement team. Turtledove, Vulture, you two will be in a team.
“Yes!”
Following Pigeon’s arrangements, the team members who had been a.s.signed their positions nodded without any doubts.
Every member of the Xueyu unit had the main attack and an auxiliary attack. They could be both a.s.saulters and explosives experts. However, one of them was their strength, while they were weaker in the other one.
Just like Ye Jian, she could be both an a.s.saulter and a sniper.
Pigeon, who had carried out a mission with Ye Jian before, knew her strengths. Naturally, he would make arrangements according to her strengths.
Ten minutes before Long Eagle arrived, Pigeon carefully wiped the coffee table with a wet towel so as not to leave any fingerprints. When Long Eagle arrived, the group of ten immediately left the hotel to board the s.h.i.+p at the port of Jin City.
The freighter was used by the country to transport weapons outside the country. Those who could board the freighter were all active soldiers of the country. Even so, Pigeon and the others sneaked into the freighter secretly. Even the captain didn’t know about it.
The Xueyu unit sent their location back to the military. At nine a.m., the freighter left the port and headed toward the vast sea.
The major general stood up from the computer and said to the technical soldier who had been tracking the signal closely, “You’ll be on s.h.i.+ft 24/7. No one is allowed to leave your post. Report to me immediately if anything happens.”
The secret rescue mission was much more difficult than usual rescue missions. Everyone had to disguise themselves. Even the weapons that they carried could not be their own weapons. Q King would be receiving them. Although this mission was very dangerous, they were still very confident.
