A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 316 Code Name: Jade Shattering Plan

Without any direction, Wu Zhe stared silently at the computer screen as he swam across the river at night.

"We've already entered the edge of the 39th Army base; the electromagnetic interference here is too severe."

Yuan Lang took out a compass. "The general direction is fine. We'll still have to walk once we get ashore."

"The weather right now is teetering on the edge of snow and extreme cold. If it snows today, our infiltration and penetration will have a much higher success rate," Cheng Cai said, looking up at the sky.

"What does Xu Sanduo think?" Yuan Lang put away his compass and turned to ask.

Feng Yuxiu gazed at the approaching mountains and forests in the distance. "It's impossible for just a few of us to behead the commander of the 39th Army. Even if I'm physically fit, I can't get close."

"We can barely manage at the brigade level, but for anything higher without support, that's just wishful thinking on our part."

Feng Yuxiu's words silenced Cheng Cai, who had been showing excitement.

If a military commander can be beheaded by a few of them, where does the People's Liberation Army's combat power stand?

“That’s not necessarily true. Special forces are the ones who turn the impossible into the possible,” Yuan Lang said confidently. “Besides, who says we don’t have support? We are the explosives in the shells. To launch a shell, you need the shell frame and a large amount of firepower machinery to support it.”

"Therefore... wars are all about using endless resources to launch that crucial strike."

"One strike to decide the outcome!"

Hearing Yuan Lang's confidence, even Wu Zhe became curious.

But no one asked, and the captain wouldn't tell them; they could only obey orders unconditionally.

In the latter half of the night, the moonlight was covered by gloomy clouds, and the sky turned into a gray cotton ball.

A snowflake drifted down on the wind and landed on Cheng Cai's forehead.

Cheng Cai keenly stretched out his hand, "It's snowing."

"Our chances are very good."

Wu Liuyi reached out and splashed the icy water on the river surface. "Hopefully the temperature won't drop too drastically, otherwise the river will freeze over and we won't have a way to retreat."

"Disembark!"

As the kayak was loaded onto the shore, Yuan Lang jumped in and stood on the bank, shouting.

Everyone grabbed their weapons and jumped down.

"Now our mission has truly begun. Gentlemen, this decapitation operation spans 270 kilometers and involves eight attack helicopters, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the relocation of three army corps."

Our Blue Team abandoned its previous infiltration and offensive, thus engaging the Red Team in a large-scale mechanized heavy force clash.

"The ratio of combat power loss to combat power is as high as two to one, which is a tactic that has never been seen before."

"Our successful infiltration into the heart of the 39th Army was inseparable from the comprehensive mobilization and cover of our troops. We were the shell that pierced the sky, and the entire battlefield was built upon this shell. Our ultimate objective: to decapitate Li Hua, the commander of the 39th Army, and his command structure!"

"Code name for this operation: Jade Shattered!"

Upon hearing Yuan Lang's final order, Cheng Cai and the others fell silent.

What does the shattering of jade represent? It means that all of them must be sacrificed.

The ultimate goal was to behead the leaders of the 39th Army, even if—they all died.

Once a shell leaves the cannon barrel, it cannot return; it will either be intercepted or destroy the enemy.

They are people with no way out.

"Xu Sanduo, we will provide full cover for you, and you will carry out the decapitation operation. I believe that as long as we do our utmost to get you into the heart of the 39th Army, you can complete the mission perfectly!"

Yuan Lang's words stunned the rest of the team.

"Captain, is it really necessary to go to such extremes? Give me a chance, and I can behead him with one shot," Cheng Cai suggested.

“I also think it’s a bit extreme. This way, all our hopes and opportunities will fall on San Duo alone. Putting aside the success rate, won’t the pressure on him be too heavy?” Wu Zhe analyzed in his mind.

"What about June 1st?" Yuan Lang asked.

Wu Liuyi laughed and said, "Captain, you don't have a choice, do you?"

"Yes, there was no other choice. We used the machinery of eight brigades to get us here. We have to succeed. As long as we get Xu Sanduo into the heart of the 39th Army, we will succeed!"

This was Yuan Lang's confidence; he believed that as long as Feng Yuxiu entered the heart of the 39th Army and saw the 39th Army's command post...

So the decapitation operation was successful without any surprises.

This is Feng Yuxiu's strength; his physical abilities and execution are enough to make the Blue Army go to such great lengths.

"Get started now!"

-

-

A message traveled from the 702nd Regiment's position to the 39th Army's central command post.

[A five-man squad passed the Dongdongguai position; the division's reconnaissance battalion's transport ship was destroyed. Enemy forces entered the 113 position, possibly to carry out a decapitation strike.]

Wang Qingrui stared at the cursor on the electronic radar with a grim expression.

The instant Feng Yuxiu and his men passed the 702nd Regiment's position, a heavily armored brigade of the Blue Army seemed to go mad and bombarded them to their knees.

We must make sure they are firmly rooted to the spot.

Wang Qingrui picked up a large teacup, his brows furrowed. "What exactly is the Blue Army trying to do? Sending such a large team over there, even if they are highly capable, how can just a few people carry out a decapitation mission?"

"Commander, I saw Xu Sanduo walk past." The chief of staff said in a deep voice.

“I know, I know. No matter how powerful he is, he can be melted in an instant.” Wang Qingrui still didn’t understand the strange behavior of the Blue Army.

According to the old tradition, the confrontation between the red and blue armies is nothing more than brigade and regimental operations, or single-company and company-level attacks.

He had never seen such a bizarre individual combat tactic before.

"We need to know about the actions of these Blue Team members. Although it's only five people, it's still unsettling."

The team leader was Yuan Lang, the current captain of the Old A team. This guy is no longer following the old tradition.

In some ways, he was even more forward-thinking than the railway.

"Company Commander, you saw the Blue Army squad up close. Since they're planning a decapitation strike, let's play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You take the guard platoon and go after them. I'm sure they're near the 39th Army now; let's put some pressure on their rear."

The Blue Team is now facing the direct pressure from the 39th Army, with no clear path behind them, giving them a large area to maneuver.

Once caught in the crossfire of two forces, he doubted that the squad could still execute its tactics in an orderly manner.

Li Xuanxuan was stunned. "Commander, I...I...the most elite squads of the Blue Army special forces were personally led by Colonel Yuan Lang..."

Wang Qingrui turned around and said seriously, "Don't underestimate yourself. You once gave lectures in the Old A Brigade. I believe that you top students and college graduates are the future of the military. Your thinking is unconventional, and you can often create remarkable results in traditional units." "Go."

"Yes!" Li Xuanxuan saluted straight.

The chief of staff watched Li Xuanxuan's retreating figure and said, "Regimental Commander, you've assigned this kind of mission to a college student company commander..."

Wang Qingrui laughed and said, "Only real combat experience can produce real skills. You can't become an officer by just reading books. Those officers and commanders in the War of Resistance against Japan gained their experience in battle after battle. How come they've forgotten their roots in this peaceful era?"

"Yes."

Of all the company commanders, only the seventh company commander led the team. Isn't this also an opportunity?

-

"Deputy Battalion Commander, Red Army squad spotted!" Gan Xiaoning shouted back after looking through binoculars from the deck.

Gao Cheng waved his hand while smoking a cigarette, "Our position has been destroyed. Go over and ask if we can move to a different location."

"Deputy Battalion Commander, they're coming up."

Li Xuanxuan led the elite guards onto the ship.

Gao Cheng glanced at it and was stunned.

"Reporting to Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, Li Xuanxuan, Company Commander of the 7th Steel Company of the 702nd Regiment."

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Seventh Company Commander, our communications have been destroyed. Is there anything we can help you with?"

Li Xuanxuan glanced at the soldiers on the deck. "Sir, did the Blue Army squad pass through your position?"

"That's right, they blew up the central system of our transport ship and headed northwest. That's the heartland of the 39th Army. It's the old A Brigade's old trick: using a small force to achieve a large victory. It seems they're carrying out a decapitation strike."

Li Xuanxuan nodded. "We need to use your small boat to cross the river."

Gao Cheng laughed heartily, "Commander Wang chose you to intercept this Blue Team squad. I don't need to tell you, you know Xu Sanduo's skills, right? He can handle your squad by himself, not to mention that every single one of those Blue Team squad members is no pushover."

Li Xuanxuan said in a deep voice, "I know."

Rumble!
The next second, a helicopter hovered overhead.

"We plan to destroy this squad from a distance. In modern tactics, unless it is guerrilla warfare, light combat is no match for heavy firepower."

Gao Cheng took a drag of his cigarette. "Not bad, not bad. I hope you succeed. But you'd better hurry. It's been three hours since they set off. By now... they should have infiltrated the heart of the territory."

"Thank you, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, let's go!"

Watching Li Xuanxuan board the boat and swim across the river, Shi Jin frowned. "Deputy Battalion Commander, why didn't she take a helicopter?"

Gao Cheng pointed to his ears. "Yuan Lang and the others aren't deaf. It seems that top students have unique ideas."

-

-

boom!
"There are snipers!"

"Damn it, how did the Blue Army manage to travel over 200 kilometers to this place to ambush us?! Is our defense system completely ineffective?"

The entire Red Army squad was wiped out.

"Report, annihilation complete!" Cheng Cai lay on the ground and put away his sniper rifle.

"Chengcai, I want you to continue shooting the squad." Yuan Lang's voice rang in my ears.

Cheng Cai frowned. "Captain, my location has been discovered. The best course of action now is to relocate."

"I know, continue the ambush."

Cheng Cai gritted his teeth. What exactly was the Jade Shattering Plan?

It seems it's not that simple.

-

"boom!"

Wu Liuyi quickly lay down in the crater; a convoy behind him had been completely destroyed.

"This is so exciting! This is so comfortable!" Wu Liuyi laughed heartily, as a steady stream of Red Army soldiers began to rush towards him from behind.

-

"Wu Zhe, your mission with me is simple, but also the most difficult..."

On the hillside, Yuan Lang gazed at the sky. "You have dual master's degrees in optoelectronics; now it's time to test your skills. Interfere with the Red Army's radar positions and use thermal imaging to cover them up, so Xu Sanduo can infiltrate!"

Wu Zhe's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Captain, I can't crack just this one computer board... I'm not omnipotent."

Yuan Lang suddenly smiled. "I know, so... we still have backup."

Wu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously, "Captain, do we have any backup?"

“I said it exists, so it exists. It’s not just our small team that has infiltrated.”

As Yuan Lang finished speaking, the sound of helicopters echoed in the sky.

-

"Company commander, we've lost contact with our helicopter!"

Li Xuanxuan's face was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? They've been following us from position 702 all along, how could they have lost contact? Unless..."

"That Blue Army attack helicopter that dropped the smoke bombs during the airstrike!!"

Eight hours earlier, in order to cover Yuan Lang's squad's infiltration through position 702, the Blue Army sacrificed a helicopter to drop smoke grenades to obscure their vision.

According to the exercise, the helicopter was shot down, but the pilot was allowed to eject urgently.

After the helicopter was determined to have been shot down, the main force of the Blue Army's heavy brigade immediately launched an offensive to cover the Red Army's 702nd Regiment.

The momentary chaos allowed the pilot to sneak in.

After waiting for eight hours, they swaggered in, following the directions of Li Xuanxuan's team, and arrived in the heart of the 39th Army.

They became support for Yuan Lang's squad!

Li Xuanxuan realized this and her pupils contracted. "The Blue Army... their tactics are layered on top of each other. What about our communications?"

The communications officer made an urgent call, then looked up in alarm, "We've lost contact."

"How did they do that?" Li Xuanxuan suddenly felt powerless.
