Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Watching the two of them work, Cheng Cai kept urging, "Hurry, hurry."

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Cai hugged the two of them, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "I need to pee now, hahaha."

He laughed as he spoke.

Wu Liuyi looked completely bewildered. "Huh?"

He laughed, somewhat speechless. Actually, he really wanted to say, "Dude, you've made such a big fuss, I thought there was another enemy attack, but you just say this, is that appropriate?"

Cheng Cai, beaming with joy and panting, continued, "Behind us, behind us is the position we've been looking for. Xu Sanduo, you were right. We, we won."

Cheng Cai became more and more excited as he spoke, and with a burst of strength, he shook the two of them vigorously, saying, "We won! We're going to be the Old A! The position we've been looking for is right behind us!"

All three of them were filled with excitement, and they immediately lay down on the small mound.

Looking back, for a full forty-five hours, without a map or precise coordinates, we ran aimlessly through the boundless mixed forest and grassland, without food or water.

There were also nine hundred people with high-speed aircraft chasing and intercepting them. Their lives were worse than those of dogs.

Finally, at this moment, they saw the dawn of victory.

With more than two hours to go before the end of the assessment at 6:00 a.m., they finally found the position, which meant that the final point was not far away, less than two kilometers away at most.

Now, as long as they can draw the map of this position, they can march towards final victory.

After catching their breath for two minutes, the three of them rolled over and climbed up the small mound together.

Under the moonlight, what came into their view, to put it more elegantly, was a small, shimmering lake.

According to the military, well, it's just a big puddle.

Cheng Cai's voice rang out, "That's right, isn't it? Hill, water bubble, pine forest, and in the pine forest there are three seats for Old A, and our three seats."

Wu Liuyi's eyes widened and sparkled.

Xu Sanduo looked at the puddle in front of him with a smile on his face. Although this trip had been very painful, the most painful two days and two nights he had ever suffered in his life.

But these past two days, he has been really happy, because he is fighting alongside his comrades in the Seventh Company again.

Cheng Cai smiled and looked at the two of them. "Let's go."

The three carefully climbed down the small earthen slope and found a place with a relatively open view, where they began to observe the camp.

Cheng Cai set up his sniper rifle and, through the scope, observed and reported on the layout of the position.

Xu Sanduo took out paper and pen from his waterproof bag and started taking notes, while Wu Liuyi held his August 1st plane and stood guard vigilantly.

"Thirty-five men in the northeast direction, five of them are veterans, the sniper has a Type 95 sniper rifle, we'll take it and use it later, and three, no, four machine gunners are on sentry duty."

Two thermal imaging cameras detected no motor vehicles…

Xu Sanduo had just finished drawing the surrounding area according to Cheng Cai's report when he heard Cheng Cai say, "No, no, no, there's no command post."

As he spoke, Cheng Cai put away his sniper rifle, quickly turned around, and said, "Squad Leader Wu, come and take a look."

Xu Sanduo tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Liuyi, who was on guard behind, walked over with his back bent.

Cheng Cai said in bewilderment, "Their choice of position is too cunning. There's a depression in the middle, and you can't see the command post at all."

Thirty-five men—that's already a reinforced platoon; there's no way they only have this much heavy firepower on the surface.

While looking at the distant position and listening to Cheng Cai's words, Wu Liuyi said, "There's definitely a problem. We have no choice but to infiltrate."

Cheng Cai immediately refuted Wu Liuyi's statement, "What are you talking about sneaking in? Unless you dig a tunnel, we may have eaten rat meat, but we're not rats and we can't dig holes. Look at yourself."

As he spoke, Cheng Cai handed over the sniper rifle.

Wu Liuyi took the sniper rifle and quickly observed the target through the scope.

"How is it?" Cheng Cai asked anxiously. Among the three of them, Wu Liuyi was the best at positional attacks.

Wu Liuyi quickly shifted his position, surveying the battlefield. "There's nowhere to attack. A frontal assault would require at least a company-level force."

"Here you go," Wu Liu said, handing a sniper rifle to Cheng Cai.

"These damn old A's, their position is so damn sneaky," Cheng Cai muttered as he caught the gun.

Hearing their conversation, Xu Sanduo, using the bushes for cover, also stepped forward to observe.

"How did it go?" The two asked anxiously as they saw Xu Sanduo return. Victory was within reach, but it was just too difficult at this moment. They were both hoping that the other could come up with a good solution.

Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Xu Sanduo calmly stated his idea, "Let's swim across the puddle."

As soon as Xu Sanduo finished speaking, Wu Liuyi objected, "Do you know what the temperature is in the pond this season?"

It was only around nine degrees Celsius at noon, and now it's past three in the morning, the temperature is probably only around 2 degrees Celsius. We've been starving for two days, and our strength is severely depleted.

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Cai also objected, "No, if we go down now, we'll die in the water."

Xu Sanduo stuffed the paper and pen into his pocket. "I'll give it a try."

With that, Xu Sanduo turned to leave.

Wu Liu quickly grabbed Xu Sanduo, "You can't go alone, I'll go with you. Cheng Cai, you cover us."

Wu Liuyi quickly thought through all the ways to see the true face of the position, and then eliminated them one by one. Only swimming across the puddle was the most feasible method.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Cai immediately replied, "I'm a good swimmer, let's go together."

Wu Liuyi released Xu Sanduo's hand and stopped Cheng Cai. "Now is not the time to be impulsive. The advantage of your gun is that it's more effective when you keep your distance. If something goes wrong, we'll need that gun."

Xu Sanduo added, "We have to be quick, we absolutely have to be quick, otherwise we won't have enough time."

As he spoke, Xu Sanduo tore open the packet of individual rations he had always kept, "Let's eat together."

Cheng Cai looked at the jerky, chocolate, and compressed biscuits in front of him, swallowed hard, and said, "You two eat these. You need the calories."

Wu Liuyi handed over a small piece of compressed biscuit, "I've eaten three times as much of yours these past few days."

Cheng Cai pushed the biscuits back and turned his head away. He was starving and couldn't bear to see the two of them enjoying their meager rations.

The two quickly finished their meager rations, strapped their guns to their backpacks, and, carrying their 30-kilogram load, slowly moved towards the edge of the pond along a gentle slope they had found.

The two dared not make a sound. It was too quiet at three in the morning. If they made any noise, there would be only one outcome in this pond: elimination.
