Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 25 Firefight
In the mountain stream, the water flows swiftly by, and Xiao Zhuang scoops up the clear water to wash his face.

He was wearing a red windbreaker, jeans, a baseball cap, and sneakers, and had a backpack on his back, looking like he was going on a trip.

After washing his face, he scooped up some water to drink; the clear, cold stream water was very refreshing.

"parking!"

The high school team on the bus saw the small village by the stream. This place is now a military restricted area. The sudden appearance of a civilian was obviously suspicious and it was impossible not to be suspicious.

Before Xiao Zhuang knew it, a towering figure suddenly appeared behind him.

He stared in disbelief at his reflection in the water; it was a soldier wearing a black beret and camouflage.

'It's that high school team that accompanied the leaders, Miao Lian's old comrade-in-arms!'

Xiao Zhuang recognized the person as Gao Zhongdui.

Before Zhuang Yan could react, a dozen agile Blue Army special forces soldiers surrounded him from all sides, their Type 95 assault rifles with the safety on, all aimed at Zhuang Yan standing by the stream.

Xiao Zhuang stood still, afraid to move, lest he provoke them and be eliminated; he hadn't finished his mission yet!

The high school team leader said, "Stand up, slowly turn around, and put your hands where we can see them!"

Xiao Zhuang did as instructed and slowly turned around.

Seeing that it was a teenager, the high school captain coldly asked, "What do you do?"

"I am a student."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Gao Zhong felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

"A student? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang's heart tightened. He had indeed met Gao Zhong before, and luckily, he had face paint on at the time, and Gao Zhong's attention was focused on Chang Ning, otherwise he would have been finished.

"I have a very common face, and many people say I look familiar."

Xiao Zhuang was talking nonsense, but in his heart he was praying that the team leader Gao would not recognize him.

The high school team leader looked at the suspicious person in front of him with suspicion: "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Zhuang: "I'm a hiker, I came here with my classmates to explore, but we got lost."

High school team: "Which school are you from?"

Xiao Zhuang: "From the drama academy."

High school team: "Do you have a student ID?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhuang pulled out his student ID from his bag.

The high school team leader took it and examined it carefully: "You really are from the drama academy, the directing department? You're going to be a great director in the future?"

After searching Xiao Zhuang's backpack and finding no contraband, Captain Gao kindly gave him some money, worried that he might not have enough for the journey.

"Get out of here immediately! There's military activity here; it's a restricted area! The mountains are sealed off; we don't know how you got in!"

"got it."

Xiao Zhuang hurriedly agreed and turned to leave, the special forces soldiers watching him go.

Forcing himself to remain calm, Xiao Zhuang rounded the hill and then plopped down in the grass, panting heavily, his heart pounding. He was certain this was the most thrilling thing he had ever experienced since joining the army.

"Get in the car, arrest them!"

After being delayed by Xiao Zhuang for a while, the high school team was really afraid that they would lose track of him again.

In the jungle, the squad leaders gathered around Chen Guotao, listening to him explain the upcoming mission. Among the group of non-commissioned officers, Chang Ning's private's rank stood out conspicuously, like a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves.

"Did you hear anything?"

Chang Ning spoke up, saying that he had vaguely heard the sound of an engine and, unsure, asked the others.

"sound?"

The three class leaders and Chen Guotao stopped their discussion and listened carefully to the sounds around them.

"There's no sound at all, Chang Ning, you must have misheard," Lao Pao explained for Chang Ning.

Chang Ning wanted to say he had misheard, but he hadn't. The sound of the car engine grew louder and louder, clearly indicating that a car was approaching them.

This is the heart of the Blue Army's territory; the people who came here definitely aren't from their Red Army.

"Platoon leader, you and your squad leaders discuss this first. I'll keep watch for you. Just let me know what arrangements are needed later."

"Okay, you go ahead."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Guotao agreed to Chang Ning's suggestion.

Chang Ning really doesn't know anything about troop deployment, and Chen Guotao thinks that keeping Chang Ning here won't make much of a difference.

Since Chang Ning is a good shot, let him be the sentry.

After separating from Chen Guotao and his group, Chang Ning found a tall, sturdy tree with lush foliage. With the agility of a monkey, he climbed the tree, found a comfortable spot, set up his Type 85 sniper rifle, and activated the optical sights.

Following the direction of the sound, Chang Ning quickly spotted two off-road vehicles speeding towards them. The uniforms worn by these people were different from theirs, clearly indicating that they were special forces from the Blue Army.

"Chen, Blue Army pursuers are rapidly approaching us. Their uniforms are different from ours; they might be Blue Army special forces!"

"what!"

Changning's notification sent chills down everyone's spines, but also brought a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Changning discovered it early, otherwise they would have been surrounded and killed.

"All personnel on alert, prepare for battle! Chang Ning, feel free to do as you please, I won't restrict you."

Chang Ning: "Yes!"

Running is impossible at this point; two legs can't outrun four tires. Chang Ning's shooting skills are well-known; letting him command might reduce his efficiency, which is not good.

In the emergency, Chen Guotao demonstrated the competence expected of a top graduate from a military command academy, quickly issuing a series of orders.

The comrades-in-arms usually spend every day together and have a high degree of tacit understanding. In no time, a simple position was set up.

No matter where they are, special forces are at a great disadvantage in positional warfare; their attributes are simply not suited for it.

Chen Guotao had clearly considered this point before giving the order; otherwise, retreating without regard for the consequences would be no different from suicide.

Of course, there is absolutely no chance for them to retreat now. This is the heart of the Blue Army's territory. If they can't defeat this Blue Army special forces unit once the fighting starts, they can expect to be surrounded and wiped out by reinforcements.

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot rang out from the tree. Chang Ning fired the first shot, successfully taking down the special forces soldier driving the car before quickly climbing down. If he were still up there when the firefight started, his fate would be dire.

Sergeant Ma's notebook said that once the two sides exchanged fire, the most important thing was to find cover. Obviously, trees were not good cover, and he would be easily exposed without a ghillie suit.

"They've spotted us! Miao Lang, take out that sniper!"

"understand!"

When their comrades were eliminated, the other special forces soldiers immediately jumped out of the vehicles and formed a defensive position using the off-road vehicles.

After Chang Ning fired, Chen Guotao and his team also aimed at the off-road vehicle and began to suppress it with fire, giving the high school team no chance to raise their heads.

Upon hearing the order from Captain Gao, Miao Lang jumped out of the vehicle and quickly disappeared into the jungle. He needed to find a suitable position within a very short time and locate the Red Team's sniper.

"40 fire!"

The high school team leader wasn't about to be suppressed by firepower and unable to even lift his head. If word got out, he'd lose face, and more importantly, the Wolf Fang Special Forces would also be humiliated, which he couldn't tolerate.

So he pulled the 40mm gun off the vehicle and fired it at Chen Guotao's position.

Chang Ning saw everything, but what good did it do? A rocket still exploded on their position, taking away several of their comrades.

"So fierce!"

Just as Chang Ning was about to respond to the high school team firing a rocket at them, he felt a chill run down his spine.
