Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 39 The Blue Army's Eyes

"The landmines are getting denser, we're definitely not far from our target, can you two be quiet for a bit?"

If we're found here, we won't even have time to run.

Chen Guotao, who was first in line to act as the vanguard, turned around and glared at the two men. There were landmines all around. If they were discovered, they would be eliminated by stepping on the mines in their panic, without anyone even having to shoot them.

Xiao Zhuang is only 18 years old now, not the special forces soldier who later joined the Wolf Fang and became the strongest assault soldier. Chang Ning, like Xiao Zhuang, is a raw recruit. He knows a little about everything but is far from being proficient. Therefore, the scout position can only be filled by Chen Guotao, the platoon leader.

The pressure was already immense, with everyone fearing that a single misstep would expose them and ruin everything. And these two behind him wouldn't stop chattering away. How could Chen Guotao not be angry?

"Chen Pai, don't be angry. We won't say anything more, okay?"

In the army, Xiao Zhuang respected Chen Guotao quite a bit. When he saw Chen Guotao's bad expression, he immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake. It would have been different if it had been someone else.

Chang Ning, who was in charge of covering the rear, held his rifle and glanced around at the landmines.

Landmines are great things. Our ancestors made the most of them. As their descendants, we should at least inherit their glorious traditions, if not carry them forward.

"Chen Pai, do you know how to defuse landmines?"

"What do you want to do again?"

Now, when Chen Guotao hears Chang Ning speak, his heart leaps into his throat, fearing that this guy will say something unreliable again.

"Platoon Leader Chen, there's no need for such a big reaction. Although we rushed through ten kilometers of mountain roads overnight, the results are encouraging and the future is bright."

If we do a good job on this, we might even get some credit.

Chang Ning thought Chen Guotao was still complaining about what happened last night, so he immediately defended himself.

"Stop it, I'm not that petty. You're doing this for everyone's benefit."

What exactly are you trying to say? Hurry up! This place isn't safe.

Seeing that Chang Ning was rambling on and on without getting to the point, Chen Guotao urged Chang Ning to get to the point quickly.

"I just want you to help me disarm a few of these landmines. We never know when we might need them, even if they're just to ambush a few pursuers."

Chang Ning and his two companions were doing thankless work, sabotaging the Blue Army's military facilities everywhere. The worst part was that they weren't doing it openly and honestly, which made the Blue Army members grit their teeth in hatred.

Even now, the missile soldiers still curse under their breath from time to time, holding back their anger to get revenge in the next exercise.

"If all else fails, you can teach me on the spot, then you guys go first, and I'll lay a few landmines before catching up with you."

Chen Guotao remained silent, and Chang Ning had no idea what he was thinking. But when he opened his mouth, he said something that made Chen Guotao want to kick Chang Ning. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Chang Ning would have been beaten up long ago.

The tradition of the Chinese army is to never abandon or give up. Although this is the motto of the Seventh Steel Company of the Capital Military Region, it applies to the entire army.

Chen Guotao thought Chang Ning's words were just asking for a beating.

"Shut up. No one will think you're mute if you can't speak. Did I say I wouldn't help you?"

Seeing Chen Guotao's eyes widen like a bull's, Chang Ning obediently remained silent. In fact, he was overjoyed inside. He had said that on purpose to get Chen Guotao to quickly clear up his mess.

"Chen Pai, it's not that serious. Calm down. We're still behind enemy lines. Even if you want to deal with Changning, you should go back first."

Xiao Zhuang started covering for Chang Ning. If it came to building a relationship, he would side with Chang Ning, since he hadn't known Chen Pai as long as he had known Chang Ning.

"You two keep watch for me." After saying that, Chen Guotao threw his gun behind him, pulled out his tactical knife, and lay down on the ground, gently wiping the dirt off the landmine.

While they were digging, Chen Guotao suddenly remembered something and looked up at Chang Ning beside him: "By the way, how many do you plan to get?"

"Of course the more the better."

Chang Ning didn't stand on ceremony. He didn't mind having more landmines. Anyway, he had almost used up his supplies along the way, and with his physical strength, carrying a few landmines was a piece of cake.

"What do you think this place is? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. There are at most three here."

Perhaps the minefield was too large, and the mines were not laid out very skillfully. Chen Guotao also noticed that the soldier who laid the mines must have been a novice, otherwise he would have laid a few booby traps.

Chen Guotao quickly defused three landmines and helped Chang Ning put them into his backpack.

"From now on, stop causing me trouble."

Chang Ning said with a grin, "No, don't worry."

In fact, all three of them knew that Chen Guotao was just saying it and didn't actually hold a grudge against Chang Ning.

After the brief interlude, the squad fell silent again. Having successfully crossed the minefield, they quickly weaved through the jungle, managing to maintain their tactical movements with difficulty.

Of course, they can't compare to the Wolf Fang Army, but they are quite capable compared to other frontline troops like themselves.

After passing through the jungle, a small valley came into view. Except for a few special areas, the valley was basically covered with camouflage netting.

“I told you there were big fish here.” Chang Ning was quite pleased with himself, after all, he was the one who suggested choosing area 322 as the target.

"What exactly is the facility in the valley? And why is that antenna spinning in circles?"

"Why does the car have a satellite dish installed? It's exactly the same as the one we use to get TV channels at home, only a bit bigger."

Xiao Zhuang did not experience the information explosion of later generations, so it is not surprising that he did not recognize the facilities in the valley.

“Those should be the Blue Team’s radar vehicles.”

Chang Ning found these things extremely familiar; he had seen them many times in videos in his previous life.

Although the radar vehicle in my previous life had been updated and replaced countless times, its basic appearance had not changed much.

Chen Guotao glanced at Chang Ning in surprise. As far as he knew, the company didn't have a radar vehicle. How did this kid Chang Ning know about that thing?
'Maybe he saw it in a magazine.'

Chen Guotao came up with a plausible excuse to convince himself that he didn't doubt Chang Ning's background. To join the army, one had to pass a political background check, which could trace back three generations of one's ancestors.

Therefore, the fact that Chang Ning was allowed to join the army indicates that his background is clean. This essentially eliminates the possibility that Chang Ning is a spy from another country or a member of some organization.

"Chang Ning is right, there are indeed Blue Army radar vehicles down there. This is definitely the Blue Army's radar site, and also their eyes."

"If we can take them down, it'll be worth it even if it means we're all eliminated!"

Looking at the radar base in the valley, Chen Guotao was filled with excitement.
