From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

The atmosphere at the headquarters of the 7th Steel Brigade was joyful, and the team members participating in the operation were also very excited.

"Wu Liuyi, your front gate assault was very fast. You managed to deceive the guards at the front gate without alerting anyone else. Your speed was almost the same as our air assault."

The helicopter landed on the Army Aviation Battalion's helipad, and Tuo Yonggang got off the helicopter, smiling as he greeted Wu Liuyi.

"That was all thanks to Cheng Cai's acting skills. He fooled the two guards completely, and we broke in without much effort."

Wu Liuyi has always been a straightforward person; his good and bad feelings are always written on his face.

He used to scold Cheng Cai if he didn't like him, but now he praises Cheng Cai when he performs well.

"Not at all, it's all thanks to Platoon Leader Wu's excellent command and our Chief of Staff's tactical arrangements." Cheng Cai's reply showed a high level of emotional intelligence.

"Hahaha."

They praised each other, a typical business comeback, and after exchanging glances, they all burst into laughter.

……

The helicopter formation had completed its mission and returned, but Chen Jun, who was in charge of command, did not return.

Because his work is not yet finished.

Tonight's operation involved more than just one team; it was a coordinated effort by two teams, one overt and one covert, who simultaneously attacked two units.

Taking a helicopter allows for faster departure, enabling you to complete your mission and return first.

This is an operation that Chen Jun publicly announced in the command center, allowing everyone to see; the other operation is known only to three people in the brigade headquarters.

They are Wang Qingrui, the highest military commander; Chen Jun, the commander-in-chief of Operation Alarm; and Gao Cheng, who is in charge of leading the team.

As the deputy brigade commander of the 7th Steel Brigade, Gao Cheng was not required to participate in any combat operations. He only needed to sit in the command center and watch Chen Jun direct the operations.

However, Gao Cheng was not one to sit idle, much less one to reap the benefits of others' labor.

Wang Qingrui held supreme decision-making power over the entire brigade, while Chen Jun was in charge of all combat command and operational plans, which made Gao Cheng feel like he had no sense of participation.

In order to gain more exposure, Gao Cheng could only make a breakthrough in action command.

So he chose to lead the team himself.

Including the previous "Decisive Battle 2001" exercise, Gao Cheng would personally lead the team whenever he had the opportunity, and this time he still insisted on his own approach.

He became the leading officer of Chen Jun's "hidden forces" and personally led a special operations platoon to raid the 306 vehicle yard.

Because there has been no war in the country for decades, the development of various military units has basically reached a bottleneck, and the flames of reform have only been able to reach the combat units.

This has led to a situation where logistics units, which already have relatively few training tasks and whose annual assessments are often just a formality, and whose daily life education is lax, have become even more undisciplined in terms of vigilance, resulting in increasingly poor security work.

Gao Cheng led his special operations platoon over the wall into the parking lot and loaded all the dozens of trucks parked there with simulated bombs for the exercise, without alerting anyone in the parking lot.

The two guards at the main gate and the two sentries at the entrance of the barracks building were completely unaware of what was happening.

When they first saw the "intruders," they were already easily subdued, their mouths covered, their weapons disarmed, and they were tied up.

The guards and sentries were practically useless, which shows how lax the management of the 306 depot was.

Having settled all the security arrangements at the vehicle depot, Gao Cheng led two soldiers to the door of the depot's duty room and gave the two soldiers a wink.

Two soldiers immediately came to the door, one on the left and one on the right. The soldier on the left reached out and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The soldier on duty inside called out, but received no reply from outside. He didn't realize anything was wrong and casually walked over and opened the door.

Whoosh~
Two soldiers moved swiftly, filing in and rushing in, pressing their guns against the soldier on duty's forehead.

There was a non-commissioned officer sitting in the room reading a novel. When he saw two armed soldiers suddenly rush in, he immediately dropped the novel and tried to grab the gun next to him.

As a result, he was too slow, and as soon as he stood up, a gun was pointed at his forehead.

Gao Cheng entered unhurriedly, closing the door behind him. He plopped down on a stool and said, "Report to your superiors later that the parking lot has been attacked and all vehicles have been hit with bombs."

"What exactly do you people do?"

One of the sergeants on duty frowned, frantically trying to guess what was going on.

"We are K-clone agents sent from abroad, specifically here to cause sabotage. In a few minutes, this place will be turned into a sea of ​​fire," Gao Cheng said in a serious tone.

"No, that's not right."

Having served in the military for so many years, the second-level sergeant could tell at a glance that Gao Cheng and the special forces soldiers who had just entered were all exuding a soldierly aura.

In addition, the special forces soldiers all carried Type 95 rifles, and there were very few units that were fully equipped with Type 95 rifles these days.

After gathering so much information and data, the relatively well-informed second-class sergeant frowned and said, "You are from the 7th Steel Brigade. As far as I know, the only army in the entire theater using the new rifles is your 7th Steel Brigade."

"Yes, it must be the 7th Brigade."

Another sergeant also suddenly realized what was going on and pointed at Gao Cheng and the others, saying with certainty.

"Hey, you may be sloppy with safety, but you're quite smart."

Gao Cheng smiled with some surprise and said, "It's a pity that it's no use for you to know, because our mission tonight is to blow up all the military vehicles here."

"Come on, call your boss right now and tell him to come over immediately, or I'll detonate all the bombs."

As Gao Cheng spoke, he took out a remote control and deliberately waved it in front of them a few times.

"I don't believe you. You definitely wouldn't dare to blow it up. This is just a drill. If you really blow up the convoy, you'll be in deep trouble."

The second-class sergeant was full of confidence and not afraid at all.

It was because Gao Cheng was not wearing a military rank that the second-level sergeant had such confidence; otherwise, if he had known that the person sitting in front of him was a lieutenant colonel, he would have been much more confident.

He probably wouldn't have that much confidence.

"No way?? Heh."

Gao Cheng had anticipated this scene and pressed one of the buttons on the remote control without hesitation.

"Boom~"

The explosion was deafening, and flames shot into the sky.

Even from the duty room, which is a hundred meters away, one can clearly feel the ground shaking, and can see the dazzling flames outside the window.

When Gao Cheng was setting up a large number of bombs for the drill, in order to make the drill more realistic and to achieve the wake-up call that Chen Jun mentioned, he also installed a real bomb on one of the vehicles.

If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't have dared to bomb it, but unfortunately they ran into the "famously daring" Takashiro.

For the purpose of the exercise.

Blowing up a vehicle is nothing to Gao Cheng; he's not worried about the consequences at all. But that's only Gao Cheng's perspective. For a lowly second-class sergeant on duty at the vehicle depot, a blown-up vehicle is a serious matter.

"Are you guys crazy? You actually bombed it."

The sergeant, who had been quite calm just moments before, was terrified by the explosion.

No longer caring about any thoughts or concerns, my legs went weak and I collapsed onto the table, picked up the phone, and dialed as fast as I could.

"Staff Officer Wang, this is the duty room of the 306th Combat Readiness Vehicle Yard. We have been attacked by armed forces. There has been a violent explosion in the yard. Please send someone over immediately. If you don't come soon, they will blow up all the vehicles in the yard."

The second-class sergeant was truly anxious, and his voice even sounded like he was about to cry.

If this were a real attack, and as the sergeant on duty tonight, he had to take off his clothes and leave if one of his military vehicles was damaged.

Just think about when Shi Jin retired in the original story; this grown man cried so much, his face streaked with tears.

You can imagine how panicked this second-class sergeant was.

"Don't rush, explain the situation clearly, and find out who did it?" Staff Officer Wang on the phone remained calm, knowing to clarify the situation first.

"Shh~ overseas."

At this moment, Gao Cheng interjected, giving the second-class sergeant a warning look.

"He, they say, is from overseas..."

The second-class sergeant was threatened and dared not mention the Seventh Steel Brigade. He had just said the word "overseas" when Gao Cheng hung up the phone, deliberately making the atmosphere even more tense.

"What else do you want?"

When the second-class sergeant heard that the Seventh Steel Brigade lacked martial ethics and even blew up vehicles without warning, he was genuinely worried that Gao Cheng would lead his men to beat him up, and he even started to stammer.

"never mind."

Gao Cheng got up and stretched leisurely, smiling as he said, "You guys just stay here and don't go wandering around the parking lot."

The vehicle is equipped with thermal magnetic bombs. As soon as a heat source is detected, the device will be triggered and explode. If you go over there, you will be blown to bits.

Once your boss arrives, I'll remotely deactivate the system. If the boss doesn't come, well, that'll be interesting.

"Just wait until the middle of the night, and the cars in the parking lot will be blown up one after another."

After saying that, Gao Cheng ripped off the telephone line, picked up the phone from the table, handed it to the special forces soldier next to him, and left in a very nonchalant manner.

Two sergeants were left in the duty room, looking at each other dumbfounded.

They both wanted to know what was happening outside, but they dared not go out, fearing that what Gao Cheng said was true. Torn between these two thoughts, they didn't know what to do.

……

Gao Cheng personally led a team to "raid" a parking lot, just as he finished his mission and was about to leave with his men.

Two military vehicles rushed in from the 530 oil depot, which had been attacked earlier, and a colonel ran out as soon as the vehicles stopped.

Seeing the smoke billowing into the sky from the oil depot, he was so frightened that his legs almost went weak.

This is an extremely dangerous oil depot, containing enough oil to supply an entire army group. If it were to explode in an accident, his life would be over.

"Quick, quick, quick, get ready to put out the fire."

The colonel raised his voice and gave a loud order, then personally led a group of men to the oil tanks to check what was going on and whether any accidents had occurred.

He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he ran over, only to be so angry at what he saw that he almost vomited blood.

All the oil tanks here were covered with explosion warning stickers, and simulated smoke bombs used in the exercise were everywhere.

Don't be fooled by the billowing smoke that looks like a big fire; it's actually just white smoke coming from a smoke generator.

"What are they trying to do with the 7th Steel Brigade? This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous! I must complain to my superiors and have them severely punished for their despicable behavior."

The colonel was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and every word he uttered was spoken through gritted teeth.

If there were soldiers from the 7th Steel Brigade in front of him, there's no doubt he would rush up and bite them a few times to vent his anger.

……

The leaders at the oil depot were furious, and things weren't much better at the other side, the military reserve vehicle yard.

When Staff Officer Wang received the call from the duty room, he immediately reported the situation to the senior colonel, startling the leader who was about to go to sleep so much that he jumped out of bed.

He immediately led a guard platoon of soldiers and rushed to the armory as fast as possible.

As a result, they were ambushed on the way.

Gao Cheng deliberately bought some explosives by the roadside and detonated them when the convoy arrived, intending to put some pressure on the convoy leaders.

The driver was startled and veered off the road, crashing into a tree on the side of the road.

The guards on the two trucks behind immediately jumped out and rushed over to protect them, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing.

Only the senior colonel's nose hit the tree when his car crashed, causing it to bleed profusely.

It looks a little tragic!
Worried that something might really happen at the parking lot, the senior colonel leader didn't even care about the injury on his nose. He just wiped it with a piece of paper and hurriedly got into the car and left.

It took several more minutes to reach the parking lot, where a car full of guards immediately rushed in, ready to "fight".

However, there wasn't a single ghost in the parking lot.

However, simulated smoke bombs used in the exercise and plastic bomb models used for training were found on all the cars in the factory.

There are only two places that are related to danger.

There was a pit about one meter in diameter in the weeds next to the parking lot. The fresh soil that had been blasted out indicated that the pit had just been blasted.

Another car had a remote-controlled bomb attached to it; this bomb was a genuine TNT detonator.

"Commander, the situation has been basically clarified. It was the Seventh Steel Brigade that caused this. Look, it's clearly written on these fake bombs."

Staff Officer Wang brought over a time bomb with a note on it that read, "The 7th Steel Brigade was here."

Upon seeing the words written on the note, the senior colonel, who was already annoyed by his injured nose, became so angry that he almost saw stars.

He angrily pointed at Staff Officer Wang and yelled, "How were you guys guarding the parking lot? What were you doing at night? People sneaked in and defecated and urinated everywhere, and you didn't even notice! Huh? Can any of you tell me how they got in?"

"You, come here and explain to the commander," Staff Officer Wang reprimanded the second-class sergeant on duty.

"We really don't know how they got in. We were just on duty as usual when they suddenly barged into the duty room and put guns to our heads," the sergeant said innocently.

"Commander, if there is an exercise, you should notify us in advance. Launching a sneak attack in the middle of the night like this makes it really hard for us to react. This Steel Seventh Brigade is really too reckless."

Staff Officer Wang, not wanting the blame to fall on him, promptly stepped forward to deflect responsibility. (End of Chapter)
