Girls und War

"Oh—" He smiled with admiration and asked again, "Are you still hiring? Do you think I can do it?"

"You?" Xia Shu looked up and down at the smiling face, and said with a complicated expression, "Okay...yes. But according to convention, you have to pass our training camp assessment."

"That's no problem, I can definitely pass!" said Smiley confidently.

Xia Shu didn't say anything discouraging to dampen her confidence, but the assessment at the special warfare training camp...

Well, I understand everything.

At this moment, the voice of the reckless woman suddenly came from the crack in the ice, "Okay, pull me up!"

There was still a smile by the water, so he pulled her up from under it.

However, there were other team members pulling the rope below, and it seemed that the sloth bear was tied to the other end of the nylon rope.

After the reckless woman came up, she ran a few steps away and shouted loudly, "Explode and hide!"

So everyone lay on the ground and prepared to hide.

So the reckless woman pressed the detonator button in her hand, and a not-so-strong explosion was heard from below.

After a few crisp "click" sounds, Xia Shu ran to the edge of the crack and looked down.

I saw the sloth bear holding its head, huddled in the ice crack, with its feet still stuck in the gap, as if nothing had changed.

But after a few seconds, a teeth-grinding creaking sound suddenly came from the other side of the cliff.

Then a series of cracks of varying sizes gradually appeared on the ice surface, like dominoes, slowly falling from the cliff ice wall.

As a large section of the ice wall collapsed, the sloth bear was freed at that moment.

The reckless woman quickly shouted, "Pull!"

So the girls pulled the rope with all their strength and pulled the sloth bear up from below.

At this moment, a terrifying rumbling sound came from the bottom of the cliff.

"Wuhu, I'm taking off!" The lazy bear lay on the ice field, shouting confusing words that were incomprehensible to everyone.

Xiaobai walked over to Lazy Bear and checked the condition of her calf, but found that her leg bone was shattered and it seemed impossible for her to walk.

So he took out the bandages and fixed her legs with two large cylindrical pieces of ice.

The lazy bear grimaced in pain, but eventually stood up with the help of Xiaobai.

Seeing that the current mission had been completed, Xia Shu asked the others to prepare, and then discussed the retreat route with Lark.

At this time, there was no safety guarantee in the air. With the naked eye, one could see at least three drones hovering above them.

So the rescue could not go any further inside.

However, Xia Shu decided to split the troops into two groups. One group would withdraw the remaining troops in a straight line to the previous contact point, while the other would take a slightly longer route and conduct a final search in another area.

If we can find the last remaining members of the My Little Pony Squadron, the mission will be considered fully accomplished.

Otherwise, they can only blame their bad luck.

Smiling Face came over and heard the conversation between Xia Shu and Lark, and then interrupted, "I'll go with you. I know where they are hiding now."

After hearing this, Xia Shu thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

So the team was divided again, and the lame Lazy Bear and Sparrow went straight back, met up with the medical team halfway, and with their support, they brought the old, weak and sick members of the My Little Pony Squadron back to the logistics team's pick-up point.

The other main force of the special forces team, with smiles on their faces, made one final circle around the ice field, rescued whoever they could, and then withdrew from the ice field.

As for the drones in the sky, it’s better to ignore them.

After all, the current Eagle Zone defense line has been completely torn apart by the ordinary combat team (tentative).

As if entering a deserted place, this is exactly what they are experiencing now.

814. Perfect Mission Result

After the special forces team members circled the ice field one last time, they found the last member of the My Little Pony Squadron under the guidance of the smiley face.

There are not many of them, and they are the last bit of manpower gathered together in the team.

It was their luck that Xia Shu found them first.

Otherwise, after the rescue team evacuates the ice field, they will only be able to launch a final death charge around the encirclement.

But in Xia Shu's opinion, it would be a dream for them to break out of the encirclement in their current state.

If that situation really happens, the best choice is probably to just raise your hands and surrender.

It is better to lose face than to lose your life.

Afterwards, the members of the special operations team took the last few rescued target members back to the starting logistics communication point.

The special forces team did not encounter any enemy teams to block their way, but the communication point was attacked repeatedly by the Eagle Zone before and after Lazy Bear and his team retreated.

I think the Eagle District has also thought clearly. They have already seen the combat strength of the special forces team. At this stage, no polar force can swallow them.

Even if the Eagle District forcibly tightened the encirclement and used a combat force several times larger than Xia Shu's team to forcibly encircle and suppress them, it would still cause losses that were beyond their ability to bear.

If that were done, it would be tantamount to handing over the polar control area to the covetous snow area.

In that case, even if we win a miserable victory tactically, it will still be a defeat strategically.

So relatively speaking, they would rather turn a blind eye and pretend that such a combat team does not exist at all.

But whether we encircle and suppress them or not, we still have to do what we need to do.

After all, Eagle District had the advantage of air supremacy at this time, and the drones were watching their every move in the sky.

Therefore, the Eagle District was also very clear about the situation that Xia Shu's team was divided into two groups.

Then blocking the rear and forcibly cutting off the special forces team's retreat is also a very cost-effective combat plan.

No matter how powerful a combat team is, without logistical support, it will become a tiger in an iron cage, at the mercy of others.

However, they obviously did not expect that the special forces' logistics support forces still had strong combat capabilities.

The rear defense force, composed of logistics, medical and communications teams, has also undergone rigorous training in the special operations training camp.

On the front line of the battlefield, no kittens or puppies can be dealt with.

As a result, the Eagle District's two attacks on the evacuation point both ended in failure.

The girls of the My Little Pony Squadron also witnessed how formidable a combat force this ordinary combat team (tentative name) was.

Even their logistics department has such terrifying combat capabilities.

After Xia Shu brought his team back to the ghost, he asked about the combat situation.

When I heard them say they had experienced two battles, I didn't look surprised.

But Smiley, standing beside him, couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately asked in shock, "Even your logistics team is so strong?"

Ye Zi, Yang Yang Yang and the others turned their heads to look at her, revealing a slightly disdainful sneer.

Xia Shu said calmly, "The logistics staff didn't pass the assessment and are still not allowed in."

As he said this, he gathered his troops and led everyone to evacuate.

Smiling Face smacked his lips repeatedly and said with admiration, "You're like this, and I want to join your team even more."

As he spoke, he started asking the team leaders all kinds of questions and talked about the assessment before joining the team.

Xia Shu ignored her. Seeing Sheng's tired face, he asked, "Why are you so tired too? Did you kill so many prisoners?"

"No, I didn't fire a single shot." Sheng looked dazed. "It's just that I ran such a long way, my feet are numb."

Xia Shu glanced over and saw the large amount of spare equipment she was carrying, and immediately understood.

Yang Yang Yang must have used her as a coolie.

Then Xia Shu suddenly had an epiphany.

It seems everyone has their place. Even if it's just a stone in the toilet, if used in the right place, it will shine one day.

Then, Xia Shu brought his special forces team and the rescued members of the My Little Pony Squadron back to the air force camp in the snow area.

Upon returning, Major General Jingxian immediately expressed her gratitude to Xia Shu and the other team members. She was then busy contacting headquarters and arranging the funeral arrangements for Xiao Lian and the others, so she couldn't hold any formal ceremony.

Xia Shu didn't care about this, so he counted the number of people, made a simple summary, and then applied for an air force pick-up, preparing to go directly back to the logistics headquarters to sort out the equipment.

I have to say that this mission was quite successful.

Although not all members of the My Little Pony Squadron were rescued, at least they saved Smiley Face and also brought back a group of poor children who could be considered meritorious.

The My Little Pony Squadron had been dealt a heavy blow this time. Originally a frontline combat unit of around forty men, the remaining force was now less than twenty. Disbanding and reorganization was a foregone conclusion.

This matter is also due to Xiao Lian's fault, but this squadron was originally her permanent company, so it can only be said that she lost her own family property, and it cannot be considered a public loss.

From now on, the My Little Pony Squadron's future is Smiley Face's concern.

Xia Shu helped her save half of her teammates, which saved her from such a tragic loss. Otherwise, she would have been in big trouble if she was held accountable later.

However, seeing how enthusiastic she was about the special forces, Xia Shu guessed that she would not consider rebuilding the My Little Pony Squadron in the future.

As for the outcome of this battle zone, there is actually nothing much to say.

The Snow Region only provided a batch of equipment and two squadrons to support the operation. Speaking of contributions, the Air Force did send a number of reinforcements.

But the main combat operations were still being carried out by the frontline fighters on the Phoenix King aircraft carrier.

There may have been some minor losses on the Air Force side, but overall it was an excellent rescue mission.

The significance of this matter itself is far more important than battlefield losses, so the Air Force Headquarters should not be too concerned.

However, the Eagle District lost a large number of its manpower at the hands of Xia Shu this time, which was a heavy loss.

If you calculate it, they may lose more than the flower district.

Especially the anti-sniper team under the City Alliance, more than half of them were killed or wounded this time.

If Zhan Ren hadn't intervened at that time, she might have been killed.

Zhan Ren later found out that the person she had let go was actually the ace sniper who is currently ranked seventh on the sniper rankings. She regretted it very much.

But there's no such thing as regret. If everyone knew what would happen today, Smiley wouldn't have dragged his family out onto the icy plains to die.

But then again, this operation was at least the first time that the special forces entered the stage of an imaginary battlefield.

Their casualty ratio of 1:60+ is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of special forces, which is absolutely worth the money.

In this way, the young commander can confidently approve any conditions Xia Shu wants in the future.

815. Inside Information from the Dagger

After completing the mission, Xia Shu and his team members flew back to the Flower District Logistics Headquarters.

After signing with the liaison officer, the mission was successfully completed.

The mission took five hours, slightly less than the six hours Natsuki had expected.

The consumed ammunition and various supplies are not counted for now, and the only casualty that can be considered seriously injured is the lame Lazy Bear.

Comparing the task results, it can be said that the task was completed with full marks.

Xia Shu was very satisfied with this. Apart from the lucky girl, the City Alliance, slipping away from her grasp, there were almost no mistakes.

So after withdrawing from the imaginary battlefield, she simply praised the members of each group and arranged for them to return to the camp on their own.

Although Xia Shu's words of praise were a little dry and not so refreshing, all the girls felt extremely happy.

Because this was the first time they heard words of praise from Xia Shu since they joined the special forces.

Old Stockholm.

As for Xia Shu, he couldn't go back to the camp directly.

As the direct person in charge of the special forces, she still has a lot of follow-up work to do.

Firstly, this mission was an emergency secondment, and all the formalities before entering the imaginary battlefield were skipped. So after coming out, she had to sign and complete the previously skipped formalities.

However, the secretary who was pretending to be asleep could help her with these things. Xia Shu had done this kind of cleaning work before, so she was familiar with it.

Xia Shu and Jiamei took advantage of this world and sat in the office to talk about the special forces issues.
