Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 47 Beheading Commander Kang

Chang Ning only managed to reach the Blue Army's artillery position after a 20-kilometer mountain march.

During this time, he encountered five or six combat companies of the Blue Army, large and small. In order not to expose his whereabouts, he would generally hide if he could, and if he really couldn't hide, he would rather take a detour.

Compared to the artillery positions, which are a delicacy, those combat companies are just a waste of resources; eating too much of them would expose them.

According to Chang Ning's own analysis, given how much the Blue Army hates him now, he will face a large-scale encirclement and suppression as soon as he exposes his whereabouts.

This is beyond his current capabilities, so he doesn't dare to take action even when encountering small search teams unless the two sides come face to face and he has no choice but to attack.

"Wow, this artillery position is really something else."

Compared to radar bases and missile units, the defensive capabilities of artillery positions are several levels higher.

In fact, the missile force should have been stronger than the artillery positions in terms of defense. It was just that Chang Ning and his two companions chose a good time and launched a surprise attack, which caught the enemy off guard.

It's now clear that the enemy artillery positions have received news that two important units adjacent to them have been attacked; one withdrew from the exercise, and the other was beheaded.

With the lessons of the past right before their eyes, how could they not take precautions?
"My goodness, it's completely surrounded by barbed wire. The weeds within a five-meter radius of the camp have all been cleared away."

In addition, the four watchtowers surrounding the camp effectively eliminated the possibility of infiltrating at night.

Seeing how well the artillery positions were defended, Chang Ning was already considering retreating.

The Blue Army's sphere of influence is so large, there's no need to fixate on the artillery positions.

Let's observe for a while before making a decision.

Chang Ning still didn't want to give up. He wanted to find out their defensive loopholes by observing the patrol patterns of the artillery positions, so that he could take the opportunity to infiltrate the positions and carry out a decapitation strike.

Time passed slowly, and the soldiers patrolling the artillery positions in the distance inspected every corner of the camp, leaving no stone unturned.

Through observation, it was discovered that even their shift changes during patrols were done in alternation.

The three-minute time difference between patrols at the radar base was made up by searchlights, while an additional patrol team was deployed to the artillery position during this period. This ensured that there were no gaps between patrol shifts for Chang Ning to exploit.

"This is way too meticulous!"

Chang Ning's face darkened; he knew he'd likely made a wasted trip. Infiltrating was far too difficult; even if he got in, he'd be discovered in no time. What was he going to do?
"Forget it, let's change the target. Aside from strategic targets like these, the other secondary combat groups of the Blue Army probably don't defend them this tightly either."

Realizing that infiltration was impossible, Chang Ning gave up. Even flies don't land on eggs without cracks; if there's no opportunity, there's no opportunity. Now he's all alone, and even if he created one, it wouldn't matter.

Although an individual may be free to come and go and subject to fewer restrictions, they are ultimately outnumbered and outmatched in certain missions; war is a team game.

Having decided to abandon the immediate artillery position, Changning had to find another target. However, along the way, areas 321, 322, and 323 were too far from the areas where the fighting between the Red and Blue forces was most intense, so they were mostly occupied by strategic support and logistics units, while the main attack regiments had been sent to the front lines.

Changning now has two options: either rush to the front line to find an opportunity to decapitate the main force regiment, or disrupt the Blue Army's logistics system or the deployment of strategic support forces.

The Blue Army was on edge because of Chang Ning's big move. The fact that the defensive intensity of the artillery positions had been increased by several levels indicated that the situation of other units must be similar.

Thus, despite having many options, after eliminating them one by one, Chang Ning found that he currently only had one path to take: to go to the front line.

There is actually another way to complete the game—eliminate the Blue Army commander and pay tribute to the protagonists who, like him, traversed the world of "Special Forces".

Unfortunately, Chang Ning couldn't simply obtain the location of the Blue Army's command post like the main characters did.

From the start of the exercise until now, he didn't even know which way the Blue Army command post's door faced, let alone obtain its exact location.

"I'm outta here, I can't afford to mess with them."

The entire camp's defenses, like Tie Tong's, were flawless and could not be exploited. Chang Ning had no choice but to turn around and try to find any gaps in the battlefield where the fighting was most intense.

Inside the Blue Army command post, in Captain He's tent.

The assassin took the A4 paper handed to him by Captain He and carefully read the intelligence about Chang Ning.

"Ouch!

This guy's shooting talent is extraordinary. He had never handled a rifle before joining the army, but after a short period of training, his ten-ring hit rate is so high.

His physical fitness is also good.

This Private Chang Ning is something else. Battalion Commander, I don't believe you wouldn't be tempted."

The assassin put down the documents in his hand and looked at He Zhijun.

"Of course I'm tempted, I can't wait to recruit him into Wolf Fang."

There are too few good candidates; I'm afraid that if I wait too long, other special forces units will poach them.

But we're conducting a drill right now; this isn't the time to poach people.

At first, Captain He wasn't too worried after he learned that Chang Ning was one of Xiao Miao's men. He believed that his old comrade-in-arms would definitely send him over.

But no matter how much they planned, they never expected Chang Ning to be so unexpected; his record was too outstanding.

Once the exercise is over, the leaders will definitely go to the capital for a meeting. When the leaders of the various military regions meet and boast, the situation in Changning will naturally become known to others.

As a result, Wolf Fang will face competition from its counterparts in various military regions.

Captain He was worried that Xiao Miao wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure; he could already picture the scene when they were poaching people.

What? You're saying Changning belongs to your Southeast Military Region?

What does it matter? Once you go to our military region, you're one of us!

In order to recruit good talent, one can set aside pride at the appropriate time and pick it up again later. They are very familiar with this tactic.

Haven't you seen how every year, two universities, a certain university and a certain college, engage in various open and covert battles to compete for the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, all in an effort to recruit promising students to their own schools?

If fighting weren't illegal, the admissions offices of the two universities would probably have engaged in a full-blown brawl.

"So the captain asked me to come here to recruit people, right?"

The assassin looked at Captain He with a half-smile.

"It's so much easier to talk to smart people. That's definitely one of the reasons I came to you. Of course, the main reason is that I want you to teach that kid a lesson and let him know that there are always people more capable than him."

When Captain He realized his plan had been exposed, he didn't feel embarrassed at all and simply stated his thoughts directly.

"let me try."

"That's what the assassin said."

Whether you call him unruly or arrogant, he was a soldier of the Wolf Fang, and assassins were more than happy to recruit talent for the Wolf Fang.

"However, I have never been in contact with Chang Ning, so I can't guarantee that this matter can be accomplished."

"Just do your best."

Captain He said, "It's not like we're issuing a mission, it's just an attempt. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way. A living person can't be killed by holding their pee."

The assassin left, taking his sniper rifle sprayed with camouflage paint and donning a ghillie suit, and plunged into the jungle.

Once Chang Ning makes up her mind to do something, she won't hesitate or drag her feet.

He pulled out his compass, confirmed his direction, and headed towards the front line. Little did he know that he had been targeted by a sniper expert skilled in special operations.

It took about three hours to reach the area where the red and blue forces were engaged in the fiercest fighting. In the high sky, formations of army helicopters roared overhead, unleashing a barrage of firepower on the hypothetical enemy in the distance.

The thunderous king of ground warfare rampaged across the battlefield, cooperating with the army soldiers in infantry and tank battles. Apart from anti-tank weapons that could make this behemoth scramble for its feet, it was invincible.

"Tsk tsk, this is a real spectacle! The little commotion I caused in the back is nothing to mention."

Chang Ning clicked his tongue inwardly. Faced with this kind of war meat grinder, even if he went in with his mediocre skills, he wouldn't be able to make a ripple.

Upon entering the combat zone, Chang Ning encountered an armored regiment stationed there. "This regiment is..."

Chang Ning lay prone among the weeds on the hillside, carefully observing the military camp not far ahead.

Through the scope on his sniper rifle, he spotted the flag of the armored regiment.

"Hey, Iron Fist Gang! We've run into a big fish."

The Iron Fist Regiment and the Great Merit Regiment hold the same status within the army group; both are extremely powerful combat units.

If the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company of the Great Merit Regiment is their trademark, then the Sharpshooter Fourth Company is the Iron Fist Regiment's calling card that outsiders talk about with great interest.

Commander Kang, who was deploying tasks in the camp, had no idea that a Red Army scout had arrived on the outskirts of their Iron Fist Regiment.

"The battle has once again reached a stalemate. Your mission today is to capture Hill 522 before nightfall!"

Commander Kang looked at the map on the table and circled the number 522 with a red marker.

According to his calculations last night, as long as his Iron Fist Regiment could capture Hill 522 before nightfall, they would be able to break through the Red Army's defenses.

If coordinated properly with subsequent troops, the results will be further expanded.

"Yes."

After exchanging glances and discussing their opinions, the battalion commanders looked at Regiment Commander Kang.

Seeing that the battalion commanders had no further questions, Regiment Commander Kang then let them leave. The specifics of how to proceed would depend on the results of their private discussions.

He's the regimental commander, so he just needs to keep an eye on the big picture. If he had to plan everything perfectly, what would be the point of having a battalion commander?
"Communicator, go and call the company commander of the 4th Sharpshooter Company over here."

Commander Kang took a sip of water and asked the communications officer to call for reinforcements; he wasn't one to sit idle.

Upon receiving the order, the messenger immediately ran out to fetch help.

A moment later, a second lieutenant hurriedly entered the tent.

"Commander, you wanted to see me?"

“Our regiment has a mission to go out soon, and your company has a heavy responsibility.”

"Please rest assured, sir, our company will definitely not let you down!"

The second lieutenant said sternly.

The soldiers of their 4th Sharpshooter Company are all sharpshooters, and they are least afraid of this kind of positional warfare. If the enemy shows their face, they are guaranteed to never return.

The current company commander of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company is not Gong Jian, but a steady man who is about thirty-two or thirty-three years old.

"Relax. I didn't call you here to get any guarantees from you. I trust your company's capabilities. I just want you to assign a few men to come with me to the camp and see if there are any gaps in our defenses."

The battle reached a stalemate, and Commander Kang even sent out his own guards.

The frontline commanders gradually learned about what was happening in the Blue Army's rear. As a result, they also began to focus on strengthening the defenses of their own camps.

"Okay, I'll go and call Sergeant Lao Hei over."

"Okay, go and do your work."

Commander Kang waved for the sniper company commander of the Fourth Company to go back to his own business.

When Sergeant Lao Hei arrived, Commander Kang led five soldiers to inspect the camp. The inspection revealed some minor oversights, but nothing serious.

What is a surprise?

This is the surprise!

Chang Ning originally planned to find an opportunity to sneak into the camp, then find a way to locate Commander Kang, and then assassinate the commander through a sneak attack.

As a result, a pleasant surprise was right in front of me; it turns out that pie really does fall from the sky.

Through the scope of the Type 85 sniper rifle, Chang Ning clearly saw a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel followed by five soldiers appearing in the camp.

"The rank of colonel definitely belongs to Regiment Commander Kang."

The Blue Team is currently unaware that Chang Ning has arrived at the front line, so Commander Kang has no need to pull off the fake Monkey King act.

Chang Ning casually plucked a blade of grass and noticed that it didn't sway, indicating there was no wind. It hadn't rained today, and the humidity wasn't high enough to affect shooting.

The shooting environment is good; shooting is permissible.

Chang Ning aimed the scope at the colonel's chest and adjusted the focus knob manually until the target was clearly visible.

Place your index finger lightly on the trigger, consciously control your breathing rhythm, keep yourself absolutely focused, and then gently fire.

"boom!"

Gunfire rang out.

Commander Kang, who was patrolling the camp, was about to give Lao Hei some instructions when suddenly blue smoke appeared from the sensor on his helmet.

Commander Kang's expression immediately turned to astonishment, then to a bitter smile, clearly indicating that he had been sniped.

Seeing this, Sergeant Lao Hei's face turned green. The regimental commander was sniped and killed right in front of him, which filled him with guilt.

Why did the commander bring them out on patrol? Wasn't it to prevent accidents? What a waste of their time.

The main issue was that the patrols around the camp were always handled by their sharpshooter 4th Company, so they didn't even notice when a sniper infiltrated the area.

This slap in the face came too suddenly and unexpectedly.

"Old Hei, hurry up and take your men to chase after the gunshot."

Commander Kang said.

"Yes!"

Old Hei shouted.

"You guys come with me!"

Old Hei led his men to chase after Chang Ning, and the camp fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at Commander Kang, who was still smoking.

"Why are you all looking at me? I've already been eliminated!"

Commander Kang said irritably, casually taking off the smoking helmet and placing it on the hood of the Mengshi off-road vehicle next to him.

"Commander, what about our mission..."

The officer standing nearby asked in a low voice.

He meant well, but he didn't expect to be met with the commander's "death stare".

"What do you think! I've already sacrificed myself and can't speak anymore."

Due to the exercise rules, Commander Kang couldn't say anything related to tactics and strategy, but he could still skirt around the rules, mainly because no one would report him in his own camp.

"Yes."

The officer understood immediately and went back to his work.
