Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

The cool night enveloped the silent mountains and lakes.

at this time,

In a forested area outside the Galwan Valley, a dense thicket of shrubs grows among several protruding large rocks.

A person was hiding under the bushes.

To be precise, they were snipers wearing jungle combat uniforms.

suddenly,

The high-definition, anti-jamming wireless headset crackled with the report from scout Gao Dashan: "Reporting, Captain, we have spotted two enemy scouts operating a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft rapidly approaching the ambush zone. About 150 meters behind, ten enemy special forces soldiers are escorting a major general, advancing at high speed."

"The time, location, and number of people are the same as in the battle report."

"Captain, we've caught a big fish this time."

"Report complete!"

Xiao Zhan carefully raised the far-infrared telescope. Through the lens of the high-powered telescope, two Indian special forces soldiers were seen: one was operating a drone to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance, while the other was holding an assault rifle and keeping watch in the surrounding area.

Xiao Zhan smiled, thinking that the Indians' reconnaissance methods and technology were quite different from theirs.

Xiao Zhan ordered in a low voice, "Everyone, pay attention. Once the target enters the ambush position, attack according to the rules of close and long-range combat, and try to eliminate the target in the first wave of attacks."

"Please reply upon receipt. Over."

"receive!"

"receive!"

Six replies sounded in Xiao Zhan's earpiece.

Xiao Zhan smiled silently.

He has carried out missions like this overseas countless times.

Each time they returned safely without any real danger. That's real skill. Anyone who survives the brutal battlefield is a top-tier fighter among top fighters...

Xiao Zhan continued to observe with his binoculars. The high-definition telescope lens focused on the major general, whose two general stars on his left and right shoulders shone brightly in the pale moonlight, as if showing off his nobility and extraordinary status.

suddenly,

Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Because he saw the major general's eyes meet his.

How is that possible?

How did he know where I was hiding?

Xiao Zhan immediately became alert, noticing the excitement gleaming in the major general's eyes as he looked at him.

Why was he excited?

He's our prey, we should be excited!

"Thump!"

Xiao Zhanxin's heart sank, because he saw not only excitement but also tension and unease in the major general's eyes, which was not like that of a major general who had been through many battles.

Is this a trap?

Xiao Zhan felt even more doubtful.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire roused the mountains and forests.

The comrades launched an attack...

Xiao Zhan swiftly aimed his sniper rifle at the major general's head and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A 12.7mm sniper bullet was fired instantly...

Next second,

"Bang!"

The major general's head was instantly smashed open, blood splattered everywhere, and brains flew all over the place—a gruesome sight.

Gao Dashan in the headset: "Report, target eliminated."

Xiao Zhan: "Retreat immediately and don't get entangled with them."

"Understood! Withdraw from the battle immediately."

Others responded through their headsets.

Mission accomplished, Xiao Zhan was about to get up.

suddenly,

His hairs stood on end instantly.

because,

He heard several terrifying shrieks echoing in the night sky...

That's the distinctive sound of a shoulder-fired missile, which is typically equipped with a guidance system for precision strikes…

Xiao Zhan instantly realized that the enemy had sacrificed a special operations squad and a fake major general to locate our special operations personnel, and then used missiles to annihilate our entire force.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

Xiao Zhan shouted into his headset, "Everyone run! Everyone run!"

in fact,

Whether Xiao Zhan roars or not is no longer important.

The other six comrades all noticed the missile approaching.

But at this point, getting out is harder than climbing to heaven. Even if you had wings, you couldn't escape being blown to pieces by missiles!

In the headset,

"Captain, you must avenge our brothers."

"Brother Zhan, I'm entrusting our parents to you."

"Captain, I'd still like to be your soldier in my next life."

"Brother Zhan, please offer incense to us brothers on Qingming Festival."

"Captain, we've been betrayed! Avenge our brothers!"

"Goodbye, Zhan-ge. May we still be brothers in the next life."

After each of the six team members left behind a single sentence, they vanished into thin air amidst the explosion of the missile, forever remaining in these mountains.

Xiao Zhan was a sniper about 1,500 meters away from the scene, which allowed him to evade the enemy's first round of missile attacks...

Xiao Zhan felt as if his chest was about to explode; his brother, with whom he had spent every day, was now separated by death.

"Whoosh!"

suddenly,

A piercing whistle echoed through the night sky once more as a missile, trailing an orange-red flame, hurtled towards Xiao Zhan's hiding place...

Xiao Zhan knew that the shot he had fired earlier had given away his position.

Without thinking twice, he flipped over and leaped onto a large rock next to him, then jumped down. Next to him was a winding dry ditch that descended the mountain, formed naturally by rainwater during the rainy season.

But at this moment, it became Xiao Zhan's lifeline...

Xiao Zhan had already planned the retreat route and wove a small skateboard out of tree branches.

Xiao Zhan leaped and landed on the tree branch skateboard, the immense momentum propelling him down the mountain at incredible speed…

After a few seconds,

The hilltop where Xiao Zhan had just been hiding was hit by a missile, and a mushroom cloud shot into the sky, turning the night sky red...

at the foot of the mountain,

Xiao Zhan hid behind a big tree, opened the combat palm-sized device on his wrist, and saw that the six flashing little red stars on it had now turned into black and gray stars.

This means that none of the other six survived.

Despite his grief, Xiao Zhan opened his headset and called out, "Command center, this is Xiao Zhan. We have been ambushed by the enemy. Apart from me, all six others have died for their country."

at this time,

The command center's large screen displayed the scene of the explosion. Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's report, the on-site commander immediately replied, "Xiao Zhan, evacuate to the designated area immediately. The support helicopter will arrive at the designated location in ten minutes."

A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Reporting to command center, my six brothers are gone. My mission is not yet complete."

"Call ended."

Command Center: "Xiao Zhan, don't act rashly. It has been confirmed that the intelligence was wrong. This is a trap set by the enemy against your special operations team. Stay calm and immediately evacuate the scene to the designated location to await backup."

"Xiao Zhan, this is an order."

"Xiao Zhan, please reply!"

"Xiao Zhan, you fucking reply to me."

Operations Command Center

Captain Wan Chongshan shouted into the communicator.

Xiao Zhan silently turned off his headset and then his mobile phone, then shut down all his communication devices. He looked up at the night sky, which was dyed red by the firelight, and muttered to himself, "Brothers, I'll finish the mission you didn't complete. Slow down and wait for me."

Xiao Zhan vanished into the vast mountains and forests...

Command Center

Major General Wan Chongshan, the battalion commander, roared in fury, "Xiao Zhan, you bastard! How dare you disobey my orders!"

He then ordered his staff officers, "Turn on the reconnaissance satellites to find Xiao Zhan. We need to find him alive or dead."

"Order: Find the spy who betrayed us at all costs. Even if you have to crawl into a cow's nest, find him for me."

With Xiao Zhan's abilities, if he wanted to hide, probably no one in the whole world could find his trace.

One week later,

Xiao Zhan, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in gunpowder smoke, carried two heads whose blood had already dried and splattered as he strode into the special operations brigade's command center.

He came back alive.

Two heads were found: one belonged to the enemy's theater commander, and the other to the enemy's theater chief of staff.

Xiao Zhan completed the task by offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

One month later,

Under the strong mediation of Battalion Commander Wan Chongshan, the military court ruled as follows;

"Xiao Zhan disobeyed military orders and entered the enemy's war zone without authorization, causing the tension between the two armies to escalate. Because he killed two enemy major generals, he almost triggered a war. Considering his outstanding military achievements, his merits and demerits cancel each other out, and he was ordered to retire from active service."

Three days later,

A commercial airliner landed at Beijing Capital International Airport. After the plane came to a stop on the jet bridge...

Xiao Zhan was the first to be escorted off the plane by the beautiful and sexy flight attendant, and he even used a special passage.

Xiao Zhan, looking completely bewildered, got into a Mercedes-Maybach that picked him up, carrying a camouflage bag.

Inside the carriage,

Bai Zerui, the eldest son of the Bai family in the capital, hugged Xiao Zhan and choked up, saying, "Brother Zhan, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Xiao Zhan gently pushed Bai Zerui away and said, "What kind of behavior is it for two grown men to be hugging and cuddling? I'm not gay."

Bai Zerui said awkwardly, "Brother Zhan, this is just a courtesy."

Kong Zhixiang, the eldest son of the Kong family in Beijing, handed Xiao Zhan a cigarette and said, "Welcome back to the number one young master of Beijing."

Xiao Zhan took the cigarette, smelled it, and then put it in his mouth, saying, "Good cigarette."

Kong Zhixiang: "Brother Zhan, from today onwards, we brothers will follow you. Oh, by the way, the Xiao family is holding a grand banquet at Buckingham Palace to celebrate Brother Zhan's triumphant return!"
