Chapter 27: Eliminating Gou Tou Lao Gao

Guo Jing: "So, just thinking about our upcoming full-scale confrontation with Gao Shu gives me a headache."

Nie Huaishang: "What's there to be troubled about? Xiao Zhuang's girlfriend, Han Xiaoying, is part of the Director's Office, right? Just find an opportunity to get close, take a helicopter, and wipe out the missile brigade."

Nie Huaishang: "Taking out a whole missile brigade would be a net gain even if an entire company was wiped out."

Guo Jing: "That's not the problem, but I recall in the original plot they were supposed to hide in the girls' dormitory. I feel that's not quite right."

Guo Jing's expression turned very grim; on one side was victory, on the other moral condemnation, making it hard for him to decide.

Zhang Chu'an: "What's wrong with that? I agree; I think this plan is excellent."

Guo Jing: "Zhang Chu'an, shut up. I think you just want to get into the girls' dormitory."

Zhang Chu'an: "I am a man of integrity; you must believe me."

Nie Huaishang: "Alright, Guo Jing, stop condemning Zhang Chu'an. Great achievements require overlooking minor details; on the battlefield, life and death are at stake. Once someone dies, no one can refute what others say."

Nie Huaishang: "After all, if we maintain principles against our enemies, they won't necessarily do the same to us."

This statement struck Guo Jing like a thunderclap; his future opponents, whether Ouyang Feng or Temujin, were all formidable heroes capable of bending and stretching.

Fighting them while clinging to so-called principles would inevitably lead to defeat. Thinking this, Guo Jing exhaled heavily and sent a message.

Guo Jing: "You are right."

At that moment, Guo Jing could only silently apologize to Gou Tou Lao Gao in his heart: "Sorry, Gao Shu, you are simply too formidable; to deal with you, I have no choice but to play dirty."

Nie Huaishang: "Moreover, this surprise attack requires very few people; two or three will suffice. How to arrange the remaining two platoons is up to you."

Zhang Chu'an: "Leave the mission to raid the missile brigade to me; I will definitely complete it."

Guo Jing: "You stay here. If you enter the girls' dormitory, how will you get out? Besides, this mission doesn't need someone with your absurd combat power. The two of us will try to tie up the Wolf Fang Battalion for a while."

Guo Jing: "Of course, it would be best if we could snipe Gao Shu."

Zhang Chu'an: "Alright. Given my skills, special forces aren't our match. Taking down Gao Shu's company with just the two of us isn't impossible."

At this moment, Nie Huaishang, having just logged off, pondered a question: According to the original plot, He Chenguang sniped the Blue Army Commander, didn't he?

Compared to that, Fan Tianlei, the regimental chief of staff, seemed insignificant.

Suddenly, Nie Huaishang's eyes sparkled. Why choose one over the other? I want both.

Inside the Wolf Fang Battalion, Gou Tou Lao Gao looked at Battalion Commander He Zhijun with deep guilt: "I'm sorry, Commander. I've brought shame to the Wolf Fang."

He Zhijun waved his hand, unconcerned: "It's fine. Losing to those two isn't shameful, but you must learn from shame and become brave. Strive to trap the Night Tiger in the upcoming military exercise. Understood?"

"Please rest assured, Commander."

Gou Tou Lao Gao promised with a resounding voice.

On the other side, Fan Tianlei of the Red Blood Cell Group was also actively preparing.

Especially upon learning his opponent was his old rival Master Kang, and that the newly appointed company commander of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company was Nie Huaishang, Fan Tianlei couldn't help but reveal a triumphant expression.

In this annual military exercise, he would not only decapitate Old Kang but also capture the entire Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

Little brat, this time I will make you understand the gap between you and me, Fan Tianlei.

Time flew, and the annual military exercise, which made everyone extremely tense, officially began.

The Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company served as the vanguard of the Red Army. Zhang Chu'an and Guo Jing infiltrated deep behind the Blue Army lines. Just as they were gathering intelligence to transmit to the Red Army rear, they discovered that electronic countermeasure units prevented transmission.

Seeing this, Platoon Leader Chen looked extremely anxious. Guo Jing turned to Chen and Xiao Zhuang beside him and said solemnly:

"At this moment, we must not act rashly. Once we send a message, not only will the intelligence fail to reach the rear, but there is even a risk of total annihilation."

"Then what do you suggest? We can't just sit here waiting, can we?"

Platoon Leader Chen asked anxiously.

At this moment, Zhang Chu'an stepped forward and said calmly:

"I actually have a plan, but it requires Xiao Zhuang's help."

Platoon Leader Chen immediately said:

"You mean you want Xiao Zhuang to disguise himself as a college student, escape back to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, and transmit the intelligence?"

Zhang Chu'an firmly denied:

"No. I want to ask: isn't Xiao Zhuang's girlfriend, Han Xiaoying, part of the Director's Office? There is a lake nearby; if we swim across in combat gear, we should reach the vicinity of the Director's Office."

As soon as Zhang Chu'an said this, everyone present immediately understood.

Xiao Zhuang immediately made his stance clear: "I agree with this idea. Not only can we transmit the intelligence, but we can also cause trouble for them in the rear."

Platoon Leader Chen pondered for a moment and asked: "Then who shall we send with Xiao Zhuang?"

Guo Jing immediately stated: "I will stay behind to tie up the Wolf Fang Battalion. Perhaps we can take out their commander, so I won't go."

After saying this, Guo Jing added internally: "After all, I am a man of integrity; I cannot go to the girls' dormitory."

Finally, after discussion among everyone, this surprise force totaled three people: Sergeant Lao Pao, Platoon Leader Chen, and Xiao Zhuang.

Watching the three depart, Guo Jing began to ponder how to deal with the Wolf Fang Battalion. After all, Xiao Zhuang and the others' surprise attack was the basic objective: taking out the enemy's missile brigade.

Since the communication radio would expose our position and draw Gou Tou Lao Gao over, we will separate from the radio operator. By exposing the radio operator's position, we can ambush Gao Shu halfway.

At that time, even if we cannot destroy the entire Wolf Fang Battalion, taking out Gao Shu with my marksmanship is still achievable.

At this moment, Gou Tou Lao Gao instructed the Wolf Fang Battalion behind him: "This battle requires caution; we cannot be careless for even a moment. The enemy has someone whose marksmanship surpasses mine and whose hand-to-hand combat surpasses mine."

After giving these instructions, he asked the radio operator beside him:

"By the way, have we intercepted any messages from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company?"

"No. Due to interference from the electronic countermeasure battalion disrupting the radio waves, the Red Army Reconnaissance Company cannot send messages, so we also cannot know their location."

The radio operator quickly replied.

Gou Tou Lao Gao became furious upon hearing this: "Now they are showing themselves! If they don't send intelligence, how do we know their location? How can we catch the scouts and force them to stop the countermeasures?"

Shortly after the countermeasures stopped, the radio operator reached the location designated by Guo Jing and began contacting headquarters, but this had already been intercepted by the Wolf Fang.

Upon learning the radio operator's location, Gou Tou Lao Gao was in high spirits and ordered the special forces beside him: "We are going to catch the Night Tiger scouts now."

Gou Tou Lao Gao thought to himself: "Guo Jing, although your marksmanship far surpasses mine, today Gao Shu will teach you a lesson: in wilderness combat, what decides victory and defeat is the brain."

And Guo Jing led the crowd onto the road the Wolf Fang Battalion used to reach that designated location; everyone held their breath.

Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an closed their eyes to sense nearby activity; before long, Gou Tou Lao Gao and the others arrived.

Just as they were about to step into their pre-set encirclement, Gou Tou Lao Gao stopped; his intuition told him that continuing forward would be dangerous.

Seeing Gou Tou Lao Gao stop, Guo Jing immediately concluded they had been exposed, but it didn't matter; this position was perfect for hitting Gao Shu.

At that moment, as Gou Tou Lao Gao immediately signaled the Wolf Fang Battalion to take another route, a gunshot "Bang!" rang out, and Gou Tou Lao Gao was eliminated.

When Guo Jing fired, Zhang Chu'an also fired at the same time, eliminating the gray wolf beside Gou Tou Lao Gao.
