From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

ten minutes later.

The helicopter raiding formation of the 7th Steel Brigade made no attempt to conceal or disguise itself, and brazenly flew towards the 708th Brigade's camp.

The sentries on duty in the camp looked up in confusion when they heard the sound.

Five helicopters appeared in the sky, with the three in front being Z-9 attack helicopters and the two following behind being general transport helicopters.

The officer left behind was the deputy political commissar of the 708th Brigade, who realized something was wrong upon seeing the situation.

The 708th Brigade itself does not have an army aviation branch, and the attached army aviation units could not possibly fly to the 708th Brigade's camp at this time without prior notice.

Therefore, the helicopter formation flying in at this moment is most likely the enemy's raiding force.

It sounds unbelievable that the Red Army's 7th Steel Brigade, as the defending force, would send troops hundreds of kilometers to the rear to attack the enemy's main camp.

But the facts are already before us, and no matter how shocked we are, we can only believe them.

Therefore, the deputy political commissar of the 708th Brigade could not issue a warning. The camp had no response force at all, and even if a warning was issued, it would be useless. He could only run to contact the brigade commander immediately.

Just as the deputy political commissar went to make contact, the helicopter formation had already arrived over the camp.

Three armed helicopters were responsible for the air strikes, heading straight for the strategic material points that had been marked in advance, and destroying as much of the enemy's supplies as possible.

Two utility helicopters landed quickly, and a platoon of special forces soldiers swarmed out of the rear cabin.

The one leading the team is Wu Liuyi!!
Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cai, as Wu Liuyi's right-hand men, assisted him in completing this raid behind enemy lines.

As well-trained professional special forces soldiers, Wu Liuyi and all his team members immediately split into two groups and began their surprise attack after disembarking from the helicopter.

One of the teams was led by Cheng Cai to clear out and control all the Blue Army forces within the camp.

Whether they were cleaning up the camp or standing guard at key locations, the Blue Army soldiers were all apprehended and brought to the brigade headquarters building.

Wu Liuyi, together with Xu Sanduo, headed straight for the Blue Army's headquarters—the brigade headquarters building.

The main force of the 708th Brigade has been deployed, leaving behind only those who are injured, sick, or otherwise unable to participate in the exercise. These soldiers are responsible for duty and sanitation work in the camp.

They had no weapons and were completely outmatched by the fully armed special forces.

Wu Liuyi and his men easily crossed the camp's parade ground and stormed into the 708th Brigade's headquarters building, intending to take complete control of the building.

"Which unit are you from? How dare you trespass on the 708th Brigade's barracks?"

The deputy political commissar, who had already reported to his superiors, was startled by the commotion outside. With the intention of stalling for time, he pretended not to know anything and ran out to give a stern reprimand.

"I'm sorry, we are the Red Army's Seventh Steel Brigade, and you have been captured by us," Wu Liuyi said coldly.

"Impossible. The 7th Steel Brigade is holed up in the Wolf Forward Base. How could they possibly be here hundreds of kilometers away? Can't you at least put some logic into this nonsense?" The deputy political commissar continued to argue.

This is the only thing he can do now.

"I don't need to explain anything to the prisoners. You can wait for the director's explanation."

Wu Liuyi was too lazy to argue with the major in front of him, so he waved his hand and gave the order: "Tie him up. The rest of you, continue clearing out the entire building."

Xu Sanduo is most skilled in binding techniques; Gao Cheng was once bound so tightly he was in excruciating pain.

No sooner had Wu Liuyi finished speaking than Xu Sanduo rushed forward in two strides and, with a skillful grappling move, pinned the deputy political commissar to the ground.

He then pressed his knee against the deputy political commissar's back and began to untie his shoelaces to tie him up.

"Damn it, you can't do this! This is against the rules! I'm a major! How can you treat me like this? I'll definitely report you to my superiors..."

The deputy political commissar was furious and anxious, and began to berate Wu Liuyi in a frenzy.

Unfortunately, no one listened to his rambling.

The others followed Wu Liuyi and quickly rushed into the headquarters building of the 708th Brigade, starting from the first floor and checking each building one by one.

Regardless of the identity of the person who made the discovery, or what rank they held.

They grabbed them all and took them downstairs, then restrained them in the lobby.

Once the entire 708th Brigade's camp was under control, three more helicopters flew in from the distant sky and slowly landed on the wide grass outside the building.

Two armed helicopters escorted the command helicopter, forming the air command formation of the 7th Steel Brigade.

Once the three helicopters had landed on the lawn, Chen Jun and Gao Cheng, along with their group, stepped off the helicopters with bright smiles and high spirits.

When Chen Jun's feet touched the grass in the enemy camp, he felt exceptionally happy.

The same applies to Gao Cheng, Brigade Commander Wang, and others.

While the enemy is still on their way to attack us, we are already dancing in their backyard – it's an incredibly intoxicating feeling.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, all garrison personnel in the 708th Brigade's camp have been brought under our control. The ammunition and fuel depots have been destroyed or sealed off. In addition, our preliminary reconnaissance has revealed twelve camouflaged ammunition and fuel cars parked on the dedicated railway line behind the camp. Please provide instructions."

Wu Liuyi jogged up to Brigade Commander Wang, saluted, and reported the situation.

"Well done."

Brigade Commander Wang nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Chen Jun standing to the side.

The meaning of this action is quite clear; a tacit understanding has been formed.

Knowing that the brigade commander had entrusted him with the task, Chen Jun stepped forward to be level with Brigade Commander Wang and ordered, "Destroy all fuel depots and ammunition depots, leave none alive."

Then, truthfully report to the exercise command that the Red Army has captured the headquarters of the Blue Army's 708th Brigade, and request that they send a coordinator to verify and register the account.

"Yes!"

Wu Liuyi stood up to return the salute, then turned and jogged away.

“What kind of Red Army are you? This is utter nonsense! Even terrorists don’t play like this. I have the right to report to my superiors and complain to the war zone commander.”

The deputy political commissar, who had been tied up by Xu Sanduo and thrown to the ground, was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged as he loudly retorted.

"Thank you for the compliment. Feel free to file a complaint."

Chen Jun grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. He quite enjoyed seeing the enemy resort to desperate measures.

“This is not a drill at all. Don’t forget you are on the defensive.” The deputy political commissar tried to argue his point, genuinely not understanding this disruptive tactic.

"You say we're not doing a drill? Then tell me, what exactly constitutes a drill? Heh," Gao Cheng said with a light laugh.

"How can the defending side run over and attack the attacking side's camp? This is not part of the exercise at all. You have violated the exercise rules and discipline," the deputy political commissar said angrily.

“I’ve seen the 708th Brigade’s files. You are Jin Zhenghong, the deputy political commissar of the 708th Brigade, right?”

With his photographic memory, Chen Jun easily identified the deputy political commissar and then said sarcastically, "I think you've had too many peaceful days and have forgotten what war is."

In a battle between two armies, everything is based on actual combat; there are no rules to speak of.

If this were a real war, and we were your real enemy, there would only be rivers of blood here, and no bullshit rules whatsoever.

Jin Zhenghong was rendered speechless by Chen Jun's rebuttal, his earlier anger and eloquence completely gone.

"Forget it, let's not waste any more time here. Let's go have a good chat with the other Brigade Commander Wang. I believe it will be a big surprise for him." Wang Qingrui and Wang Kezheng both have the surname Wang, so they are considered family members. But today, someone is destined to be furious.

Wang Qingrui, Chen Jun, and others entered the building and, led by soldiers from the special operations battalion, went up the stairs to the third floor, stopping at the door with the brigade commander's sign hanging on it.

Wang Qingrui pushed open the door and went in. His sense of accomplishment turned into joy, which he couldn't help but smile.

Chen Jun, Gao Cheng, and the others followed them in and, seeing the brigade commander's office, which was more than fifty square meters, couldn't help but make fun of it.

"Wow, Wang Kezheng really knows how to enjoy life. His office is practically our conference room."

"As expected of the elite force of the V Group Army, their treatment is far better than that of ordinary troops. Just look at this genuine leather sofa, it's truly enviable."

“I used to say that Wang Kezheng was thrifty and good at managing the household, but now I take back what I said.”

……

Chen Jun and his group walked in jokingly, but Jin Zhenghong, who followed them, looked increasingly grim.

Our own brigade commander's office has become the enemy's playground, allowing them to wander around freely. It's truly shameful that the fighting has come to this.

"Now that we've come this far, Deputy Political Commissar Jin, aren't you going to report to your brigade commander?"

Chen Jun deliberately brought Jin Zhenghong over, intending to provoke him and use Jin Zhenghong's words to undermine Wang Kezheng's mentality.

As long as you can make Wang Kezheng angry, he will lose his mind.

A lion that has lost its mind, and a calm and wise old fox.

The former is much easier to deal with!

Jin Zhenghong was furious at Chen Jun and the others' words. At this moment, he was eager to find a pillar of support, and the brigade commander was the best support for him.

So Kim Jong-hong didn't hesitate at all, strode to his desk and picked up the phone.

Using the brigade commander's phone, he made a call to the front lines.

"Please give me immediate access to Commander No. 1. I am Deputy Political Commissar Jin of the 708th Brigade. I have an emergency to report to the commander."

Jin Zhenghong informed the operator of the situation, and after the operator confirmed it, he was transferred to the front line, to the car phone installed in the brigade commander's car.

"I am Wang Kezheng. What do you want?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice from the other end, Kim Jong Hong immediately rattled off, "Hello, Brigade Commander, this is Kim Jong Hong, our brigade... brigade headquarters..."

Kim Jung-hong stammered several times, but he didn't dare to say the rest of his sentence.

Brigade Commander Wang Kezheng led the main force to fight, while he, as the duty officer, led the team to guard the camp. As a result, the brigade headquarters was wiped out by the enemy.

Although the responsibility does not lie with him, he cannot shake off the secondary responsibility.

Blame him for being a cadre left behind.

He deserves his bad luck.

"Come on, give it to me."

Wang Qingrui was enjoying his current victorious state and couldn't wait to show off. Seeing that Jin Zhenghong was stammering and unable to speak for a long time, he walked over and grabbed the microphone from him.

He put it to his ear and said with a smile, "Hello, Commander Wang, it's a pleasure to talk to you."

Wang Kezheng on the other end of the phone frowned. He had just received a report that a helicopter formation had arrived at the brigade headquarters, but their identities were still uncertain at the time.

Wang Kezheng had been wondering for some time how a helicopter formation could have ended up at his base camp.

Could it be that the assigned troops went to the wrong place?

Wang Kezheng thought about it for a long time and could only think of this possibility. He didn't believe at all that it was an enemy attack. In his eyes, the rookie 7th Steel Brigade did not have this capability.

Just as Wang Kezheng was about to call the army group to inquire about what had happened there.

My office landline was ringing.

This left Wang Kezheng even more confused.

Now, when the phone call connected, the deputy political commissar spoke haltingly, and when someone else spoke, their words were very flippant and mocking, which completely stunned Wang Kezheng.

He's completely transformed into a monk!

He could only ask, almost woodenly, "Who are you? What is your identity?"

"You don't recognize me? We're family. I'm also Commander Wang."

Wang Qingrui deliberately teased and piqued Gao Cheng and the others' interest, making them burst into laughter. They never expected that the stern-looking Wang Qingrui could be so humorous.

"Commander Wang? Are you deliberately playing me for a fool?"

Wang Kezheng was an unruly person to begin with. He thought the other party was deliberately teasing him, and a fire immediately rose in his heart, and his face turned ugly.

"You just shot down my drone, and now you've already forgotten about me? Commander Wang, you really are forgetful."

Wang Qingrui wasn't angry and continued to tease and joke.

"Wang Qingrui? You're Wang Qingrui from the Seventh Steel Brigade?"

Wang Kezheng finally realized what was happening, and at the same time, a strange feeling began to run through his mind.

“That’s right, I am your opponent today, Wang Qingrui, the brigade commander of the Red Army’s 7th Steel Brigade.”

Wang Qingrui revealed his home address and sat leisurely on Wang Kezheng's leather sofa, saying, "Commander Wang, you must have had a long journey."

To express my appreciation for your hard work, I made a special trip to your office to help manage the camp area for you.

I must say, you really know how to enjoy life. This real leather sofa is so comfortable. If you don't mind, could I borrow it for a few days?

"What? You're in my office?" Wang Kezheng immediately bristled upon hearing this.

Before he could say anything else, he heard several explosions coming from the other end of the phone. The fact that the explosions could be heard over the phone showed how loud they were.

Growing increasingly uneasy, Wang Kezheng shouted, "What kind of business do you have? What are you doing in my office? I advise you not to mess around."

"It's not a big deal. We'll just blow up your fuel depots and ammunition depots, and cut off your railway supply lines as well."

Wang Qingrui has fought so many battles over the years, but he has never felt so exhilarated as he did today.

This feeling is so addictive!

"What? Are you all crazy? You..."

Wang Kezheng was so angry that his head was buzzing. He was about to angrily question the other party, but the other party didn't give him a chance and hung up the phone directly.

Wang Kezheng, who had no way to vent his anger, felt his blood pressure rise and his head spin.

I almost fainted from anger! (End of Chapter)
