Thanks to Guo Yuanshuai's reminder, before lights out, Liu Guoping instructed the communications officer to inform each shift to prepare their combat supplies before going to bed, and arranged for double shifts in the duty room and armory.

At one o'clock in the morning, Xu Ge, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard a call coming from the walkie-talkie in the duty room downstairs, and then someone came running down the stairs.

Xu Ge recognized the footsteps as Liu Guoping running out of the camp. He immediately got out of bed, went to Guo Yuanshuai's bedside, and woke him up.

"Deputy squad leader! Deputy squad leader!"

Guo Yuanshuai opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"The company commander just went to the fourth company to get his mission!" Xu Ge whispered.

Guo Yuanshuai sat bolt upright, wide awake: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Why is it so quiet outside?" Guo Yuanshuai listened intently for a moment, then asked in confusion, "And nobody's turned on the lights either?"

Xu Ge twitched his ears: "Squad leader, didn't you hear the armory doors downstairs are all open?"

"You think everyone has dog ears like you?" Guo Yuanshuai immediately started getting dressed. "Wait in the classroom!"

With that, he put on his coat and went out the door.

Less than a minute later, Guo Yuanshuai came back and slammed the light on: "Get up! Quick!"

"Xu Ge, go and wake up everyone in Class 7 and Class 8!"

"Squad leader, the company commander hasn't returned yet, and the platoon leader hasn't blown the assembly whistle..."

"The platoon leader is in the duty room. He's the one who told us to call him. Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge rushed out the door, and the students in Class 9 quickly got up and started getting dressed.

Five minutes later, the squad leaders of the seventh and eighth platoons, dressed in their best, arrived at the door of the ninth platoon: "Old deputy squad leader, what's next?"

Guo Yuanshuai: "Wait, as soon as the company commander comes back and blows the whistle, we'll head to the armory immediately!"

"it is good!"

The two class monitors went back, and everyone from Class 9 waited at the door.

Seeing that Guo Yuanshuai had also put on his belt, Niu Sanxian couldn't help but say, "Squad leader, you're injured, so why don't you stay here later?"

“Yes, Vice Class Monitor, I’m the class monitor this week. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of everyone!” Su Liujun added.

Guo Yuanshuai shook his head: "The platoon leader is on duty, and our third platoon has no one to command us, so I..."

Xu Ge suddenly spoke up: "Squad leader, the company commander is back, he came back running!"

Guo Yuanshuai stood up without saying a word: "Let's go!"

The people from Class 9 were the first to go downstairs to the armory, followed closely by Classes 7 and 8.

The armory door was indeed open, and Luo Shan was helping the armorer clean up the equipment. Seeing the third platoon of men come down, he immediately said, "Come in and get your weapons, all equipped!"

The veterans felt a chill run down their spines when they heard the words "fully equipped".

"Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, bring out everyone's guns and bulletproof vests. The rest of you, come inside with me!"

Guo Yuanshuai waved his hand, and the group filed in.

Beep!
A sharp whistle rang out.

"Everyone, assemble for battle!!!"

Instantly, the entire camp came to life.

. . .

. . .

Downstairs, the third platoon, which was the first to assemble, was quietly lined up on the playground. Guo Yuanshuai, along with Su Liujun and two other squad leaders, received their assignments at the company headquarters.

In the team, Xu Ge touched the night vision goggles on his helmet and realized for the first time what it meant to be fully equipped.

All the rifles and pistols were loaded with live ammunition, and the rifles were equipped with flashlights. Each person had a walkie-talkie with an earpiece hanging behind their ear.

In addition, each squad was allocated more than a dozen hand grenades, stun grenades, and smoke grenades.

The wind howled in the snowy night, and no one was wearing a coat, but the five live ammunition clips and other equipment pressed against the ceramic inserts of the bulletproof vest made everyone feel stuffy and hot.

Looking down, I noticed that the bullets in the magazine on my tactical vest were a slightly different color from those I used during target practice; these were genuine armor-piercing bullets.

Xu Ge looked around and saw that some people were carrying grenade launchers, some were carrying machine guns, and Liu Senlin was carrying the latest automatic rangefinder.

The people in the first and second rows hadn't come down yet, but Liu Guoping and Guo Yuanshuai and three others had already come out.

"Old squad leader, are you sure you're okay?" Liu Guoping asked one last time, still a little worried.

Guo Yuanshuai found him a bit long-winded: "Do you think I can stay in the company alone at this time? How can I feel at ease leaving dozens of men from the third platoon out like this?"

Liu Guoping stopped dawdling and waved his hand: "Third Platoon, set off first, with the Ninth Squad Deputy in charge of command!"

"Yes!"

"Right turn! Run!"

At Guo Yuanshuai's command, the team immediately ran out of the gate.

On the road, seven or eight troop carriers were already lined up with their hazard lights on.

Guo Yuanshuai walked straight to the front of the car and said to the driver, "Area Six!"

"understand!"

The driver immediately selected a location on the navigation map.

"Get in the car!"

Everyone in the three rows began to board the bus one by one, and soon everyone was on board.

Bang bang!

Guo Yuanshuai patted the carriage, and the vehicle immediately drove forward, the snow chains rattling on the snow.

At 2:30 a.m., the military vehicle came to a stop in the snow, and everyone immediately got out of the vehicle.

The moon was faintly visible in the sky, and the surrounding area was filled with the silhouettes of towering, massive mountains. Military vehicles could not pass in front of them, so they had to get out and walk.

After quickly determining the direction, Guo Yuanshuai immediately led the team to begin hiking into the mountains: "Everyone, put on your night vision goggles and proceed. Do not generate any light sources unless absolutely necessary!"

Xu Ge pulled down the two visors on his helmet, and his vision immediately became blurry. He couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He really didn't expect that he couldn't see clearly even with night vision goggles on under such low light conditions!
To avoid being noticed by others, Xu Ge didn't dare to flip the goggles up completely. Instead, he quietly lifted them up a little, leaving half of his field of vision to look ahead.

Niu Sanxian and Su Liujun stepped forward and took all the weapons and equipment from Guo Yuanshuai without saying a word, leaving only a radio and a pistol.

"Damn it, you two want to rebel, don't you?"

"Squad leader, you just need to focus on being a commander!"

Guo Yuanshuai glanced at the time, too lazy to curse anymore, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to report the current situation.

Fifteen minutes later, the team arrived at the entrance of a gravel road at the foot of the mountain, and Guo Yuanshuai immediately began assigning combat positions.

Xu Ge had learned a lot from Thor's notebook these past few days, and at a glance, he spotted several optimal ambush positions.

Even he could see it, so Guo Yuanshuai was even more obvious. He quickly assigned positions to the seventh and eighth squads, and gathered the three machine gunners, including Kaiyoumu, together to set up a three-point machine gun position in the very center, blocking off most of the area in front.

Once everyone else had dispersed, only Xu Ge, Li Dongshui, Wang Lin, and Liu Senlin remained. Xu Ge noticed Guo Yuanshuai's hesitation, because the third platoon only had two snipers, Li Dongshui and Wang Lin, and only one sniper rifle.

At this point, there are still two positions where sniper positions need to be established: one is on the hillside directly behind the intersection, and the other is at the gap in the canyon to the left front.

Wang Lin's 201 high-precision sniper rifle has a long range, making it ideal for high vantage points halfway up the mountain, and Liu Senlin is skilled at operating the latest rangefinder.

If this arrangement is made, then Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, the two new recruits, will have to guard the gap in the canyon, a point that is even further forward than the machine gun position.

“Squad leader, I’ll go to the high ground at the back by myself. How about Liu Senlin goes with Li Dongshui? His rangefinder has infrared and thermal imaging capabilities,” Wang Lin suddenly said, seemingly understanding Guo Yuanshuai’s predicament.

"The rangefinder can only reach its maximum effect when used in conjunction with your 201 high-precision sniper rifle!"

Li Dongshui said seriously, "My gun's range is not long enough, so it won't be of much use to me."

Before Wang Lin could say anything more, Xu Ge suddenly spoke up: "Let Li Dongshui and I go to the left. He's right. Liu Senlin following him will only weaken the fighting power of both of our groups!"

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge: "Are you confident in cooperating with Li Dongshui?"

"Have!"

Before Xu Ge could speak, Li Dongshui answered for him, "Deputy Squad Leader, I've worked with Xu Ge before, and he's really excellent as an observer!"

Guo Yuanshuai seemed to have thought of the rescue of Xu Can last time, and nodded to make a decision: "Okay, then you two go to the left!"

"Yes!"

. . .

. . .

Oh oh oh!
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were lying in a windy spot, where the cold wind was howling!
Xu Ge took out his compass and quickly located the landmarks at each distance from 100 meters to 600 meters. Then he reached out and felt the wind, saying, "The wind is blowing from right front to left rear, with a wind speed of 13 meters per second, which is considered a strong wind."

Since his sniffing skill reached the near-superior level, his night vision range has exceeded 600 meters.

"You brought an anemometer?" Li Dongshui turned to look at Xu Ge, only to find that the other party had somehow flipped up his night vision goggles.

"I didn't bring it, it's just an estimate." Xu Ge continued to observe the surrounding terrain.

Li Dongshui: "Are you sure your estimate is accurate? With a wind speed of 13 meters per second, I'd have to fix the wind deflector in less than 200 meters..."

"Repair half a gun every 200 meters, repair one and a half every 300 meters, and just repair randomly every 600 meters, since you can't hit it anyway, am I right?"

"Huh? You know how to snipe too, Xu Ge?"

Xu Ge scoffed, "Tch, who do you think you are? If you don't believe my estimate of the wind speed, you can just let the enemy come down within 100 meters and shoot them down."

Li Dongshui: ...

"Okay, I trust you!" Li Dongshui said, and began searching for his target through his own scope.

Swish!
A slight sound came from behind.

Xu Ge didn't turn around; he could already smell the faint scent of alcohol on Guo Yuanshuai.

"Squad leader, what brings you here?" Xu Ge reached out and pulled Guo Yuanshuai up the slope when they were almost there.

Guo Yuanshuai lay between the two of them: "How are you? Nervous?"

Xu Ge: "I'm not nervous."

Li Dongshui: "It's alright."

"Don't be nervous, tonight we might... What? Not nervous?" Guo Yuanshuai was speaking to himself when he finally caught their reply.

“Squad leader, we’re both soldiers with real combat experience. Ah Shui has already killed two of them, what’s there to be nervous about?” Xu Ge said casually as he looked down and calculated the angle of attack from the furthest open space.

Guo Yuanshuai thought about it and agreed. He was too lazy to say the words of comfort he had prepared, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and called the battalion commander.

"Squad leader, you said there were how many people in that village?" Xu Ge asked after Guo Yuanshuai ended the call.

"Less than fifty people, what's wrong?"

"How many people are there in the Heavenly Wolf and Hidden Wolf groups combined?"

"More than a hundred people, I think."

Guo Yuanshuai slapped Xu Ge's butt. "Why are you asking this? Put on your night vision goggles. You think you can be an observer? You can't even see anything, what kind of observer are you?"

Xu Ge silently pulled down his goggles, his vision becoming blurry again, and continued to ask, "Deputy Squad Leader..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Guo Yuanshuai said impatiently. "Just spit it out!"

"I was wondering if we're making a mountain out of a molehill? Let alone Sirius, Thor and his crew could probably go in and take care of dozens of people."

After Xu Ge finished speaking, Li Dongshui also turned his head, seemingly not understanding the issue either.

Guo Yuanshuai held up one finger: "Listen up, all of you. I'll only explain this once. If anyone asks this stupid question again, I'll kill them!"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately leaned their heads closer.

"Fighting a war is not the same as playing cards. When we play 1000-point poker, if you play a 3, I'll play a 4. If I play a royal flush, will you call me an idiot?"

Guo Yuanshuai continued, "Losing at cards is just losing points; anyone can bear that cost. But war is different. We have to go all in on our advantages and ensure there's absolutely no room for error!"

"If you play a 3, I'll immediately throw four Kings on top, ensuring you never have a chance to turn the game around. Because if you make a mistake, it's your teammates who will die, and nobody wants to see that happen!"

Li Dongshui seemed to understand but not quite, and asked, "But squad leader, I've seen many examples in the materials of special forces teams breaking through enemy lines with fewer troops, haven't I?"

"That was out of necessity, there was no other choice."

Guo Yuanshuai said, "The goal of any special forces team before completing a mission is to go out quietly and return quietly. No one would be stupid enough to fight the enemy head-on."

"But we can easily gather over a thousand people to overwhelm them. We have night vision goggles, thermal imaging, and infrared equipment, while they don't. So we have to operate at night!"

Guo Yuanshuai looked at the two new recruits and said, "Why would I send the same number of troops to fight them head-on in broad daylight? Don't you think that's stupid?"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were speechless; they had truly learned a lesson.

Guo Yuanshuai glanced at the time and began to retreat: "They'll start making their move in ten minutes. Be on high alert then, as there might be some who slip through the net."

"Yes!"

After Guo Yuanshuai left, Xu Ge flipped up his night vision goggles and continued to learn from Lei Shen how to calculate the firing angles for each position on the spot.

This mission was also a valuable opportunity for him to gain practical experience as an observer.

Li Dongshui felt a little sleepy while lying down and was about to chat with Xu Ge for a bit when he suddenly saw the other person raise his head.

"coming!"

"What's coming?"

A deep rumble came from above, and a dark shadow swept low across the valley, heading straight into the distance.

"Holy crap, it's an attack helicopter..."

boom!
The next moment, flames began to spew from the helicopter, and huge flames shot into the sky, instantly engulfing villages a kilometer or two away in flames.

Boom boom boom!
Faint explosion sounds could be heard.

Sirius made his move!
The two quickly perked up and stared intently at the gap ahead.

The commotion in the distance quickly subsided, and just when Xu Ge thought the battle was over and the troops were about to be brought back, Guo Yuanshuai's serious voice suddenly came through his earpiece.

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention!"

"The Sirius Commando has confirmed that the previous intelligence was incorrect! The intelligence was incorrect!"

"Multiple tunnel entrances have been discovered in the village!"

"Repeated report: Multiple tunnel entrances detected! Everyone on high alert immediately!"
