From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 370 Forcefully Escorting the Commander-in-Chief

The armed helicopters couldn't attack targets in the woods, which was a bit of a disappointment, but taking down dozens of vehicles was still a great achievement.

The two helicopters, having completed their air strike mission, turned around and returned to their camp, satisfied.

Once we reach the camp, we need to quickly replenish fuel and ammunition and make ample preparations. In case we're in the final stages, we might even have a chance to go out and wreak havoc.

"Phew, those devils are finally gone."

Through the gaps in the trees, the members of the Blue Team command saw two nightmarish helicopters gradually disappear into the distance. Their hearts nearly jumped out of their mouths, but they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Dmitry, who had been under immense pressure, finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Immediately issue the order to advance at full speed!
Because the initial reconnaissance battles were too intense, the subsequent fighting on the left flank became a stalemate, a situation where neither side could win nor be freed up.

The Blue Army command had no choice but to fight the enemy head-on, and had to redeploy the reserve forces stationed at the command post.

All troops were transferred to the front lines, leaving only logistics personnel in the Blue Army command headquarters. At most, only a platoon of guards were capable of fighting.

There was no military protection on the way to the front line, and there was absolutely no sense of security.

Everyone in the Blue Team command was in a panic.

Dmitry's order for a rapid retreat was given, and the entire command post wished they had two more legs, as the advance was indeed quite fast.

There were still over a hundred people left, who formed a line several tens of meters long.

I can walk at least five kilometers in an hour.

At this speed, the Blue Army command can rejoin the main force at the front in just one and a half hours, ending this "exercise" that has turned into torture.

Unfortunately, the people in the Blue Team command didn't know that no matter how fast they walked, it was useless.

Because in addition to armed helicopters, the 7th Steel Battalion also has general-purpose helicopters that are currently carrying out transport missions, and they have already received a bunch of "living devils" coming to take them away.

Even if everyone in the Blue Team command center stomped their feet until they were smoking, they still couldn't outrun a helicopter.

……

A few minutes later.

Two utility helicopters arrived at the designated location and used rope descent to quickly lower the special forces platoon onto the main route of the opposing force.

The special operations platoon, which had long been trained to work in perfect harmony, quickly found advantageous terrain and set up an ambush formation under Wu Liuyi's brief order to take their positions.

Waiting for the prey to fall into the net, then catching them like turtles in a jar.

Unaware of the trap ahead, the members of the Blue Army command hurried along for half an hour before arriving at an unremarkable mountain hollow.

On both sides are steep hills tens of meters high, and at the foot of the hills in the middle is a dirt road two or three meters wide.

This type of terrain is common in mountainous areas, and the Blue Army command had passed through countless places along the way, so it was not enough to arouse their vigilance.

They didn't even send scouts to investigate.

The main reason is that all the reconnaissance companies have been sent out, and there are no reconnaissance personnel left.

After the previous attack by armed helicopters, the remaining 160-170 members of the Blue Army command lined up and entered the ravine.

The front of the group went in without incident; it was as peaceful as the mountain valley ahead.

Dmitry and other senior Blues players formed the central group and entered the valley, but nothing happened. It was so quiet on both sides that there wasn't even a bird chirping.

If these Russian bears had studied Chinese military strategy, they would definitely notice that something was off about the quietness here.

There wasn't even a bird chirping in the woods.

It's possible that a large number of people are hiding in the woods. Most small animals are afraid of people, and if a large number of people enter the woods, it will definitely scare away the birds.

Unfortunately, these Russian bears didn't study military strategy.

Their minds were solely focused on getting to the front lines as quickly as possible to reunite with the enemy, and they had no time to care about what was on either side of the trees.

The entire team was like an old ox that only knew how to keep moving forward, and entered the mountain pass without any precautions, stepping into the pocket carefully set up by the special operations platoon.

The prey had already entered the trap, and the special operations platoon naturally wouldn't show any mercy.

"beat!!"

Seeing that the time was right, Wu Liuyi shouted the order.

The special operations platoon soldiers, who were lying in ambush around the mountain pass, all aimed at the targets that entered the ambush area and opened fire. For a moment, the gunfire and flashes were as dense as a torrential rain.

The Soviet troops at the Blue Army command post, who were walking along the road, were completely unprepared for this attack.

Everything went completely out of control.

They tried to find a place to hide, but found nowhere to hide, with gunfire coming from all directions.

Panicked, they tried to run back, only to find their escape route blocked.

The dozens of guards who wanted to fight back became the target of the attack immediately, and most of them were lost within three seconds of the start of the attack.

In the next ten seconds or so, most of the guards were shot and started smoking.

Only a few guards remained to resist.

Even the professionally trained guards couldn't withstand it; most of them were wiped out in just a dozen seconds. The rest of the support staff were even worse off.

The Blue Team members, terrified and running around in panic, all became moving targets.

With each member of the special operations platoon a sharpshooter, their precise shots never missing their mark, one after another, white smoke billowed from their mouths, becoming the "achievements" of the Steel Seventh Battalion.

"Could it be Chinese troops lying in ambush again? How did they get here? Why are they everywhere?"

Dmitri was protected by several guards and hid under a dirt embankment by the roadside. He watched his men being "eliminated" one by one. At this moment, he felt no anger, only helpless frustration.

The strength displayed by the Chinese military was too great, exceeding Dmitry's understanding.

He didn't know what to do!
"It's over, it's all over."

Hearing gunfire coming from all directions, and with the command post staffed by unarmed men, escape seemed impossible. Dmitry's spirits were shattered.

I'm convinced I've been beaten!
Give up!
"Get out of the way. Staying here will only prolong your life by a few more seconds. It's better to go out and fight bravely to the death than to live a humiliating life here."

Dmitry shoved aside the guards blocking his way, drew his pistol from his waist, and rushed out.

They didn't care where the enemy was, they just started firing indiscriminately.

They had the air of "I'd rather die standing up!"

Several guards were startled by Dmitry. Driven by their instinct to protect their leader, they immediately rushed out to protect Dmitry, who was standing outside firing indiscriminately.

The guards protected their leader in a timely manner, and the leader, fearless of death, rushed out to fight bravely.

This scene even has a strong Stalingrad spirit!
However, in the face of absolute overwhelming strength, these actions can at most be described as commendable in spirit.

Even with several guards using their bodies to block him, Dmitry couldn't last five seconds before he and the guards protecting him were all blown up in smoke.

With their commander-in-chief Dmitry eliminated, the remaining Blues completely lost their confidence.

They stopped struggling. After the gunfire completely subsided, all one hundred-plus Blues players were smoking.

The number of people eliminated was so high, and the time of death was so concentrated, that the entire stretch of road, only a few dozen meters long, at the bottom of the ravine was covered in white smoke.

The entire process, from the start of the attack to the cessation of gunfire, took less than thirty seconds.

In less than half a minute, more than a hundred people were killed.

This not only demonstrates the special operations platoon's effective tactics and their selection of this advantageous position, but also the exceptional marksmanship of the special operations platoon's soldiers.

It would be impossible to achieve this level of skill if they weren't all sharpshooters.

"Whoosh-"

A mountain breeze blew by.

The thick smoke was blown away by the wind, and the smoke generators stopped emitting smoke over time. Only then did the eliminated Blue Team Bears realize that they had been surrounded by a group of "devils".

They were all dressed in jungle ghillie suits covered in "hair," and their faces were painted with camouflage paint.

He stood there with his gun, the drifting smoke obscuring his face.

Through the hazy smoke, they appeared as if they were demonic ghosts emerging from the forest, sending chills down the spines of the group of blue bears.

Foreigners don't believe in ghosts, but they are afraid of devils.

The special operations platoon didn't bother arguing with the Russians, mainly because they couldn't understand their Russian. They simply went up and conducted a thorough search.

For example, the old routine that was used before.

Find and destroy all communication devices, and leave the fallen bears to fend for themselves.

However, this time it was slightly different.

The three highest-ranking Russian officers, Colonels, namely Dmitry and two other regimental commanders, were all taken away by the special operations platoon.

Chen Jun had previously given clear instructions that the Blue Army's commander-in-chief must be taken away.

Wu Liuyi couldn't figure out who the Blue Army's commander-in-chief was, and no one in the special operations platoon could speak Russian, making communication and asking questions extremely troublesome.

They might as well take all the highest-ranking officers with them, one of whom is definitely the commander-in-chief.

Chen Jun changed his previous combat style, only killing Russian troops and not taking the "corpses" with him, and specifically requested that the Blue Army's commander-in-chief be taken away.

It was purely to annoy the Russian military command, as a counterattack by the command deliberately leaking information.

Dmitry certainly didn't want to be taken away. Anyone with a brain knows that if the Red Army took him away now, they would definitely send him back later.

Just thinking about the process of sending him back and returning him sent chills down Dmitry's spine.

What a shame!

I'll lose all face!
The other two regimental commanders thought the same way; they didn't want to experience the "tragedy" that followed, where a dignified regimental commander became a prisoner of the Chinese army.

Therefore, their first reaction was resistance, and they refused to cooperate with the special operations platoon in taking them away.

The more than twenty Russian guards who had already been killed in action were already furious about being ambushed and killed, so they wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble.

They assumed there were over a hundred Russian soldiers there, while the Chinese troops numbered only thirty at most.

If they surround the Chinese troops with menacing expressions, they will surely be able to scare them away and force them to stop and leave, thus saving face for the Chinese.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the Chinese soldiers' inherent courage and fighting spirit.

Even if there were a thousand Russian soldiers surrounding them, Wu Liuyi, Cheng Cai, and the others wouldn't back down, let alone just a hundred or so Russian soldiers here.

Even though I couldn't understand what these Russian bears were saying.

However, based on their actions and expressions, Wu Liuyi and the other special operations soldiers could guess that the "corpses" in front of them were trying to intimidate them.

"Pah! A bunch of defeated wretches, yet they have the audacity to act so arrogantly here. Who gave them the courage?"

Wu Liu was a stubborn and single-minded person. Faced with the aggressive Russian soldiers surrounding them, he waved his hand and led his special operations platoon to the front.

"Kacha kacha kacha..."

He then deliberately pulled the bolt to chamber a round, producing a series of sounds as bullets were loaded.

I originally thought that having more people would intimidate the Chinese troops, but I didn't expect that the Chinese troops not only didn't back down at all, but even adopted a fighting posture.

The Blue Army guards and other personnel who went up to the front, totaling more than sixty Blue Army bears, were also present.

Instead, they were intimidated by the 30-man special operations platoon and the indomitable spirit of the Chinese soldiers. The larger number of people completely overwhelmed their aura.

Especially when they saw the gun barrels pointed at them, the timid ones even took several steps back.

Although the Russian Blue Army was well aware that the Chinese special operations platoon was only using blank rounds, and they were also well aware that blank rounds could still cause damage within three meters.

Now the two sides are locked in a standoff, less than a meter apart.

If they really provoke the Chinese troops, they'll be opened fire at close range. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are more Blue Army soldiers and they are also more muscular.

They'll definitely be the ones who suffer in the end!
After all, during the search conducted by the Chinese troops, they had already disarmed all their weapons and left them aside for the referee to manage.

It's like they were all unarmed, facing heavily armed Chinese troops.

There is no way to win.

Moreover, even if the Eastern troops shot and wounded them, as long as they reported the incident after the exercise, the Chinese troops would not face any consequences.

Since it was the Blue Team (the Russian forces) that violated the exercise rules first, the Chinese troops' actions constituted legitimate and reasonable self-defense.

The fight was pointless; the Blues had no recourse.

Seeing that the Blue Army, which seemed eager to cause trouble, was actually being suppressed by the Chinese troops, it was clear that the Blue Army would suffer losses if a real fight broke out.

The referee from the directing department had been standing still, letting the bears surround him.

At this moment, it finally popped out.

He feigned a stern face and reprimanded the Blue Army, demanding that they not violate the exercise rules, that they were already dead and should not make any further moves.

It also specifically points out that the Red Army, as the victor, has the right to dispose of the "corpses" of the Blue Army soldiers it killed.

This is tantamount to acknowledging that Dmitry and the others were taken away.

The dozens of Russian troops who surrounded them were already intimidated by the fearless Chinese forces and had long harbored thoughts of retreating.

When the referees from the directing department stepped forward to explain the rules, everyone immediately backed down.

"You know what I mean!"

Wu Liuyi glanced contemptuously at the Blue Army, then waved his hand with the air of a victor and ordered, "Go, take them with you to the main force at the rendezvous point."

Cheng Cai, Wu Liuyi, and the others chuckled, swarmed forward, subdued the three Blue Army officers, and forced them to walk out of the ranks.

More than a hundred Blue Army bears stood around, just watching their leader being taken away.

No one dared to step forward to stop them anymore!
