Girls und War

800. Temporary Combat Mission

After several girls from the special forces team went to the military academy and the new recruits began their daily special warfare courses, the number of combat personnel in the special forces team exceeded fifty.

This number is comparable to that of an ordinary combat company, but Xia Shu believes that this number is incorrect.

In her opinion, the ratio between special forces combat personnel and support personnel of various departments should be one to one.

However, the total number of people in the current management, logistics, medical, and communications departments is far less than the number of combat personnel.

According to the current scale, they can only support a small team, that is, a combat team of twelve people.

Moreover, the subsequent financial support was not in place, and the combat equipment was only enough for one team.

Then this special forces group is deformed and abnormal.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Xia Shu's requirements for the organization of special forces are even a bit paranoid.

Perhaps such a highly combat-capable combat unit has already had the combat capability to be put into actual combat.

But she still implemented the rules for building a special forces team.

Because in her opinion, if the number of support personnel cannot form a one-to-one or even a one-to-two ratio with the number of combat personnel, the survivability of the combat team will drop rapidly.

The strategic value of each special forces member is so precious that Xia Shu does not want to see any of them sacrificed.

So no matter what others said, she was unwilling to form a second combat team.

The twelve combat team members in the ordinary combat team (tentative) became the only team that the special forces could show off within half a year.

The combat effectiveness of this team is not clear at the moment.

Because let alone actual combat testing, they have never even done simulated combat.

The most important thing facing Xia Shu now is to quickly expand the scale of the security department.

Xia Shu felt that a one-to-one personnel ratio was too little. In her opinion, one-to-four or even one-to-five was the proper logistical support ratio for special forces.

However, before Xia Shu could send the request for expansion of the security department, another matter came to her directly.

It was an extremely urgent order. The sleeper who was supposed to convey the order to Xia Shu through Lieutenant Hua actually communicated with Xia Shu through the emergency communication channel.

According to the management rules given by Xia Shu, this channel should be the encrypted channel through which the superior department directly issues orders to her when performing tasks.

If Jiamei contacted her through this channel, it meant that they might be going on a mission.

It was the first time for both of them to use this channel, so they were a little unfamiliar with it.

When the call came through, Natsuki saw the dozing face on the screen.

At this time, Lieutenant Hua also hurried into Xia Shu's office, apparently having just received the contact information.

"Is there anything going on?" Xia Shu asked the one who was sleeping first.

"Then let me get straight to business." Jiamei skipped the previous nonsense and spoke directly to Xia Shu. "The Army Headquarters has just given me a combat mission. I am required to send a combat team to conduct a rescue operation for friendly forces in the polar region. The mission requires that the team size cannot exceed that of a company, and the personnel must be excellent and reliable. I think this mission is suitable for you. Tell me, do you have the combat capability to carry out the operation now?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu first said to Lieutenant Hua, "Notify all personnel to assemble."

Then I thought about whether I could take on this task.

Seeing Lieutenant Hua go out to assemble the team, Jiamei said, "This mission is not mandatory for you to carry out. I want to first ascertain your true confidence in the team. If the combat capability is not truly established, I can send other frontline combat units to provide support."

Xia Shu didn't answer directly, but asked, "What is the situation on the battlefield and what are the mission requirements?"

"This polar operation is a confrontation between the Snow Zone and the Eagle Zone. One of our companies was surrounded while assisting in the operation there and is unable to escape. The Snow Zone is unable to spare the time to rescue our combat troops, so we have to find a solution ourselves." Fake Sleeper tried to be brief. "To avoid alerting the Snow Zone and Eagle Zone, we can't send a large rescue force. Furthermore, the polar environment doesn't allow for the deployment of large-scale armored forces. Therefore, the Snow Zone can only send two rescue squadrons to assist us in the rescue. The rescue time must also be compressed to within twelve hours, the faster the better. Do you understand?"

Xia Shu thought about it, then said decisively, "We can take on this task."

Fake Sleep nodded and said, "Then let me ask you one more question: have you formed a fighting force now?"

"It hasn't reached its peak, but I think it's enough." Xia Shu said without hesitation.

"Since you say so, I believe you." Jiamei suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Originally, the headquarters wanted to assign this mission to the frontline combat troops. But Lieutenant General Qimingxing said that we can try to give it to you.

"Because you've already taken up too many resources, and some of the backbone forces of the standing army have been withdrawn, many new troops are unable to be formed. Therefore, some generals in the standing army are very unhappy with you and are ready to make things difficult for you at any time.

"Young Commander's point is, don't seek merit, but avoid mistakes. If you can't guarantee a perfect mission, you'd rather let it go and wait patiently for the opportunity. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xia Shu nodded and replied, "I have confidence."

"Then I'll send you the mission information. There's someone back at the infiltration center to assist you, so hurry up," Fake Sleep said, adding, "You can make your own mission decisions on the battlefield without asking for orders. I'll give you the combat report later."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu didn't say thank you. Instead, after receiving the mission briefing, he turned off the communication and headed towards the training ground.

This mission is very important, so she plans to lead the team herself.

This concerns the future development of special forces and cannot be taken lightly.

Not long after, Xia Shu arrived at the training ground and stood in front of everyone in the camp who had gathered.

It seemed that they had heard the reason for the gathering from Lieutenant Hua, and all the girls were extremely excited about the upcoming mission.

Xia Shu had already read the mission briefing on the way here, so he stood in front of them and said directly, "To make a long story short, we have a mission that needs to be carried out immediately. All members of the first combat team will participate, all three support teams will participate, and the rest of the personnel will be on standby and ready to fight at any time. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" All the girls in the team answered loudly immediately.

801. Combat Preparations

After announcing the order, the team members, led by Xia Shu, immediately went to the virtual infiltration center and contacted the officers there.

The officer over there had already been waiting at the door of the infiltration center. Without waiting for Xia Shu to say anything, she led the group of girls directly into the infiltration area, changed clothes as quickly as possible, and then sneaked directly into the imaginary battlefield.

All the steps were simplified and skipped. Xia Shu just signed his name and did nothing else.

After all, this is a rescue operation and time is life.

The area they entered was not the front-line battlefield, but a regular landing point of the logistics department.

After entering the imaginary battlefield, the logistics officer in charge of the response asked Xia Shu as usual, "Eh... ordinary combat team... is that the name?"

"Ordinary combat team, tentatively." Xia Shu corrected seriously.

The logistics lady said with sweat on her forehead, "Then... do you need to take the flag with you? Sign here."

"No need." Xia Shu said, and signed his name on the landing report.

It's a twelve-hour rescue mission, and it's too troublesome to carry a flag.

Then, under the leadership of Lieutenant Wu, he quickly walked towards the logistics warehouse.

The young lady seemed to have never seen a combat team with such decisive actions, and her expression was a little confused.

But Xia Shu didn't say anything nonsense. She directly asked Lieutenant Yuankong to contact the logistics air transport backup aircraft, and then took the others to their dedicated equipment management warehouse by car.

This warehouse was where Xia Shu had stored his guns before. Lieutenant Wu had to clock in online almost every day, so they had almost no waiting time before being brought into the warehouse.

A special room has been set aside in the warehouse to store various combat equipment for special forces use.

Although several girls were here for the first time, they were already familiar with the equipment from their daily training, so they ran to the equipment storage area of ​​their own branch without hesitation.

"Arctic operations, everyone in snow gear!" Xia Shu shouted. "Logistics team, bring extra communications equipment. Don't bring any heavy equipment. Lieutenant Wu, please contact the North Pacific Island Chain Warfare Command and have them prepare the vehicles for the operation."

The squadron members received their orders, and then Xia Shu said to Junco and Glaive, "You two, put on your equipment and follow me."

As he said that, he asked Lieutenant Wu for the key to his warehouse room and went there to open the door of the armory.

The arsenal still has the same old equipment, but after previous working life, a new Queen has been added.

This mission not only requires the team's special warfare equipment, but also Xia Shu will have to change into her own gun set.

Friendly forces in the polar regions cannot prepare these special warfare equipment, which is why they must be deployed online in the logistics department rather than on the front line of the island chain.

And considering the efficiency issue, Xia Shu even planned to apply for the construction of a special operations base on his own, so that he would not have to go through the logistics department every time he fought.

After she changed into her equipment, Rush and Glaive also came to the door of the armory.

Rush has been staying in the Imaginary Battlefield all this time and hasn't seen Xia Shu for a long time. She seems very excited.

Xia Shu didn't have time to respond to her excitement, but instead asked, "How's the training been lately? Have you fallen behind?"

"Report to the captain! We are ready to fight at any time!" Rush responded without hesitation.

Natsuki nodded and said, "There's no time to test you. You'll be with the Glaive on this mission, and you'll be her observer."

As she spoke, she took out some of her own sniper equipment and handed it to the two. She then asked Juncus to carry Baixue and Zhan Zhan to carry Huitu, and then had them quickly put on their equipment before leaving the room.

This time, Natsuki didn't bring any powerful sniper rifles. Since she was the commander, she simply brought a spare Bee Stinger 99.

The combat area is an ultra-low temperature polar region, so the war blade is equipped with the gray rabbit with extremely strong damage resistance.

After the two of them got Xia Shu's equipment and precious gun, they seemed to feel Xia Shu's scent surrounding their bodies, and they looked extremely excited.

Xia Shu didn't care about their emotions, but just led them out of the room and to the meeting point outside the warehouse.

At this time, all the team members put on their equipment.

The combatants carry a full load of special warfare equipment according to the needs of their own military branches.

The medical team was equipped with full-body battlefield first aid gear, the communications team was equipped with a large special radio device, and the logistics team, in addition to extra ammunition and spare guns, also brought an extra set of communications equipment that Xia Shu asked them to bring.

The entire team looked extremely capable, but everyone was wearing pure white thick snow suits, which looked a bit stuffy.

Especially Sheng, who was covered with bullets by Yang Yang Yang, looking stupid and dumb.

Seeing that everyone was ready and the Far Sky Squadron had parked in front of them with the airport transport vehicle, Xia Shu shouted, "Let's go!"

Then he took all the personnel onto the transport vehicle and sped away.

Soon, they drove to the air transport airport next door and quickly boarded a fat medium-sized transport plane under Xia Shu's command.

Xia Shu also arranged for Lieutenant Wu to stay in the logistics department to help him with temporary coordination of the logistics department.

Then, under the instructions of the ground crew, the transport plane slowly closed the door and slid towards the airport runway.

After boarding the plane, the team members sat down and fastened their seat belts under the instructions of the crew officer.

During this period, they have undergone very rigorous airborne training, so they appear to be very skilled.

Lieutenant Xiaobai asked Xia Shu one more question, "Captain Xia Shu, are we going to parachute directly or land normally?"

"Landed normally." Xia Shu replied, and then explained the situation of the mission and the points that needed attention to them according to the detailed description in the mission briefing.

"...To summarize, the difficulty of this mission lies in combat in the snow, and the rescue must be timely and effective. Otherwise, once we arrive, we'll only be able to snatch a few bodies from the Eagle District's men, and I won't be able to report back to the Young Commander. Do you understand?"

After Natsuki finished speaking, all the girls started laughing.

Upon hearing this, the crew officer asked curiously, "Which combat unit are you from? How come you seem so experienced in rescue operations?"

"We are an ordinary combat unit." A girl immediately answered.

"Brackets, tentative." Xiaotang added.

Seeing the air transport officer's bewildered expression, Xia Shu smiled and explained, "It's a newly formed special operations force."

"Oh, yes, yes, I heard them say that." The officer immediately showed an expression of understanding.

Xia Shu chatted with her for a while, and then another idea came to his mind.

It seems that we will have to set up an air transport department specifically responsible for deploying troops.

Otherwise, we would have to borrow planes from the Air Force Logistics Department every time, which would be so troublesome!

I only see people taking out loans to buy cars, but no one borrows a car from others every time they go out!

802. Military Base in the Polar Circle

On the plane, Xia Shu took advantage of the spare time and told the girls in the team in detail about the mission information he learned from the mission briefing.

For this mission, although it was the first time for the girls in the special forces to carry out special operations.

But after all, they were elite personnel from various troops.

Even if we put aside the special operations training during this period, putting them together would be a very strong fighting force.

This is why, even though the team has not yet experienced actual combat, Xia Shu is confident enough to take on the mission.

After explaining the mission situation, Xia Shu simply divided them into groups.
