Chapter 1199: Special Warfare Debut

Wang Yan once again began his special warfare life.

To tell the truth, it was actually no different from his time in the Seventh Steel Company; it was nothing more than having more training subjects, longer training times, and the addition of numerous liberal arts subjects. For example, learning multiple languages, camouflage and infiltration, etc.

But for him, these were all child's play; after all, he had truly experienced all kinds of wars. Whether it was large-scale wars, behind-enemy-lines infiltration and assassination, or small-scale friction, anti-terrorism, or even hooligan fights, his experience was extremely rich.

So even though he had arrived at the highest temple for a soldier, his state was the same as it was in the Seventh Steel Company—equally calm. He could even feel his own ease and leisure amidst the tense and exciting various trainings.

However, he wasn't without fun; after all, the special warfare team's training was relatively complex, with all kinds of individual weapons, all using live ammunition. There were also armed helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., all of which he could play with. Driving these different vehicles was also part of the training.

He even got a helicopter pilot's license. He flew helicopters very smoothly, performing all kinds of high-difficulty maneuvers as simply as eating and drinking, very silky.

He even applied to fly fighter jets, which was also approved. He played with cobra maneuvers and falling leaf maneuvers very smoothly, which was quite exciting. He even carried out live-fire shooting with airborne missiles and had a confrontation with an ace pilot; of course, he was the one who won.

Whether it was a helicopter or a fighter jet, if one wanted to perform high-difficulty maneuvers, in addition to skilled piloting skills, the most basic thing was physical fitness. Because one had to fight against gravity.

In the instant of performing some tactical maneuvers or stunt maneuvers, the gravity acting on the body was several Gs. If one's physical fitness wasn't up to par, of course, one couldn't play with fancy tricks, nor would one have the opportunity to play.

And in the process of his training at the special warfare team, he also clearly felt the changes.

It was a kind of innovation.

Clearly, Yuan Lang had absorbed the constructive opinions he had given, and the higher-level superiors had agreed to execute them, so there were differences in various trainings.

The article Yuan Lang wrote to get him, Wang Mou, into the special warfare team certainly wasn't that simple. Otherwise, the group army where Wang Yan was located would absolutely not have let him go.

After all, Wang Yan was invincible as an individual soldier, and he had also revealed his ability to command at the military academy. Even if he wasn't worldly-wise, had no background, and hadn't established any merits, he could still work his way up to a substantive Deputy Regiment position.

Wang Yan had a label. Synthesizing his resume, it was just two words: "Iron-blooded." And he was young, which could be called "young and vigorous." Combining these two words together, he was "left-wing" and a "hawk."

No one would doubt the combat effectiveness of troops led by Wang Yan; after all, Wang Yan himself was the best soldier. As long as Wang Yan led troops, it wouldn't take long for them to become a main combat unit that dared to fight and struggle, with powerful combat effectiveness.

Relatively speaking, of course, it was better to let Wang Yan lead troops to exert a greater effect. This wasn't a difficult account to calculate.

So Yuan Lang truly loved Wang Yan. He racked his brains to transfer Wang Yan to the special warfare team; who knew how many cigarettes he smoked and how much brainpower he spent...

Just like that, two months passed, and it was autumn again. The autumn exercise activities began once more.

Yuan Lang announced this news and said to Wang Yan with a smile, "This time, our opponent is the T Armored Division. Having undergone reorganization and trained for such a long time, their combat effectiveness is even stronger. That is your old home. How about it, do you have confidence? Don't let it be that you were crazily beating us on that side, but now that you've come to this side, you get beaten down as soon as you go up."

"Definitely won't go easy."

Wang Yan replied with a smile, "From the time I became a soldier, I've been talking about ending the enemy's command post during exercises. It's been more than three years now, and I haven't ended a single command post yet. This time, I have to beat one."

"Good, then I can rest easy." Yuan Lang nodded. "Good, no more words. Still the same old place, get in the car and set off."

So everyone got into their respective cars, carried all kinds of equipment, and headed toward Zhangjiakou in a mighty force...

This time, the scale was larger. Old A dispatched over two thousand people, who had already marched to the exercise area in batches. The opposing side was an armored division. And they had strengthened their forces, adding two tank regiments, one artillery regiment, and several anti-aircraft battalions and artillery battalions, with a total force of over twenty thousand people. The ratio against the special warfare team was 10:1.

Even if not everyone was on the front line, and there was electronic warfare, etc., it was all about the same. With such a disparity in strength, the outcome was still unknown. After all, this side already had experience...

After a day of forced marching, Wang Yan and the others entered the battlefield, rested in the wild for a night, and started the war on time the next afternoon.

And the combat area for Yuan Lang and the others was still that familiar forest. Over a hundred people were divided into more than ten units, acting in small squads. Locally, they fought their own battles, and overall, they linked up and supported each other.

The entire Ninth Squad found a sheltered place, dug half a pit, laid down moisture-proof boards, and spent the night in the mountains.

"Captain, Sanduo said you were practicing here before, and your company's defensive area wasn't far away. Returning to this place, what's the feeling?" Wu Zhe asked with a smile.

"Things are different and people have changed." Wang Yan exhaled a puff of smoke toward the sky and cooperated very well to express his thoughts. "Who would have thought? In just two short years, the changes have been so great. The Seventh Company is gone, the people have all left, and tomorrow I'll be facing them with swords and soldiers. It's truly fate playing with people. Just thinking that I'll be beating up my old company commander tomorrow, my heart feels cold, really cold."

"Wu, you're definitely the one who will fight the fiercest."

Wang Yan laughed, "I've learned command for so long, it can finally be put to use. Let's all fight fiercely and give the old company commander a surprise."

Wu Zhe asked, "Captain, how did you practice before?"

His time in the military was short, and he hadn't experienced much; mainly, he was technical personnel and hadn't fought on the front lines.

"That depends on the role. If we were the Blue Army, it would be driving tanks and rushing wildly. We were a reconnaissance company, after all, always at the very front, disrupting the Red Army's defense, destroying the connections between their various units, forming a local encirclement situation, using the many to beat the few, and finally annihilating them."

"What if you were the Red Army?"

Xu Sanduo took over the conversation. "It would be digging trenches and hiding in the trenches."

Wu, Captain?"

"That's what you said; I never said that. Besides, we don't have much freedom now either; we just obey orders and listen to commands." Wang Yan pinched out his cigarette and greeted, "Alright, stop chatting. Everyone get some good rest and save your energy. Once the fighting starts tomorrow, it won't be easy to rest."

"We haven't really slept well anyway." Wu Zhe couldn't help but complain.

Wang Yan ignored him and closed his eyes to doze off.

But others didn't ignore Wang Yan either; they were still chatting idly. Those who had participated in exercises told those who hadn't about all kinds of things, and they were all quite excited.

One couldn't blame them; mainly, their captain was Wang Yan, and they were the strongest Ninth Squad, all hoping to show off their power...

Just like that, time came to the next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the exercise officially began.

"Wang Yan, you are still responsible for the old place, mainly harassment. Contact me anytime if there is a situation."

In the earpiece, Yuan Lang's voice rang out.

Wang Yan replied that he had received it and immediately led the squad to set off. The distance wasn't far, and they didn't run; they just moved forward with their guns slung across their chests. Wang Yan himself carried an 88-type semi-automatic sniper rifle on his shoulder and a 95-type assault rifle on his back, all ready for battle at any time.

They weren't walking randomly; ten people were spread out over fifty meters front and back, and the distance between left and right was even over a hundred meters, covering a large range. There were three machine gunners, four assault soldiers, and the rest, including Wang Yan, were three snipers. In addition, Wu Zhe also acted as a communicator.

Of course, this was just the current combination. If they were in a tank, they would have a driver, observer, gunner, machine gunner, etc. If it were a hard-target attack, they would have assault, machine gun, demolition, sniper, etc. After all, they all possessed numerous combat skills, and the combat combination was certainly not immutable.

Especially Wu Zhe; he was currently an assault soldier, but he could be a hacker, a demolition expert, or a first-aid medic.

Even more especially, of course, it had to be Wang Yan; he could do everything.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, the group arrived at the hillside.

Wang Yan lay on the ground and looked down with binoculars. Several hundred meters away, amidst the forest, one could see some soldiers moving about.

He said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's still the old place."

"That place just has a good position." Wu Liu-yi took over.

Xu Sanduo also crowded over, muttering, "I wonder if it's our company commander guarding this side."

"Who knows." Wang Yan waved his hand and arranged, "Let's test the firepower first. Come, Master, calculate the coordinates and report them back; artillery strike in five minutes. Xu Sanduo, you go..."

He made a tactical arrangement, and then everyone scattered, hiding their figures and sneaking toward the soldiers guarding that side.

The distance of several hundred meters wasn't far, and the special warfare team approached carefully, but it was only a matter of time.

By the time the squad members reached the designated positions, not long after, one could see many of those soldiers emitting smoke. Immediately following was a burst of shouting and hasty combat preparations.

Then there was nothing left to say. When people started emitting smoke on that side and were hastily meeting the enemy, Wang Yan and the others had already opened fire. There was no target; they fired freely.

It didn't take three minutes for a squad of soldiers on that side to be wiped out.

Wu Liu-yi patted the infantry fighting vehicle and shook his head. "What a pity, the fighting vehicle is also wiped out. Otherwise, we could drive the fighting vehicle and charge directly; that would be so good."

"My fault, I shouldn't have ordered artillery strike." Wang Yan nodded seriously. "How about this, let's set up an ambush. In a while, they will definitely send people over. Try to grab one."

Just like that, they made another arrangement, and Wang Yan and the others set up an ambush, annihilating the squad that came out to scout. However, because they were driving a fighting vehicle and refused to come out, they could only use demolition. Afterward, they grabbed their communication walkie-talkie, learned of their movements, found the hiding place of a squad, and annihilated them in a surprise attack without suffering any harm, thus very smoothly grabbing an infantry fighting vehicle.

And at this time, it was less than an hour since the start of the war. Wang Yan led the Ninth Squad and had already annihilated over thirty enemies and grabbed one fighting vehicle; it could be said that the results were quite fruitful.

After reporting the results and while tinkering with the fighting vehicle, Wu Zhe said, "Captain, it would be better to have two fighting vehicles, right? That way we can cover each other. I think we have to grab another one."

Wang Yan nodded seriously again. "What you say makes sense, then let's grab another one."

So Wang Yan and the others continued to advance. Wu Liu-yi drove the fighting vehicle to attract attention, while the rest of the people launched a surprise attack. Just like that, they very smoothly grabbed a fighting vehicle; from the time the previous fighting vehicle was grabbed, it hadn't been more than ten minutes.

Possessing two fighting vehicles, their mobility was greatly improved, and it was also very safe, so they wouldn't be wiped out in one go.

So Wang Yan and the others' actions became bold. They drove the fighting vehicles to operate in a large range, finding small squads and annihilating them directly, and when they found large groups of people, they used machine cannons and machine guns to greet them, running away after hitting them. Within three minutes, artillery shells would come over and cause large-scale damage.

In the process of the action, the team grabbed three more fighting vehicles. Now it was even livelier; two people per vehicle, one driving and one firing the cannon.

Three hours into the war, Wang Yan and his one squad had mobilized a regiment of the Red side to carry out encirclement and suppression.

Clearly, they knew that their opponent was the special warfare team and that there weren't many people, so they had the guts to attack, carrying out all kinds of encirclement and interception. Wang Yan witnessed the biggest scene since he came to this realm, only it was all to beat him.

Facing the enemy head-on, clearly, they couldn't win. They only had five fighting vehicles, but the opposite side had dozens of tanks.

So Wang Yan and the others wisely abandoned the vehicles and ran away.

At this time, it was the fifth hour after the start of the war. Just twenty minutes after Wang Yan and the others ran away, Yuan Lang sent news.

"Wang Yan, just now we successfully ended one of their regimental headquarters and captured their regimental commander and staff officers alive. For this battle, I'll record the top merit for you." Yuan Lang laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied. He said, "Next, your mission is to constantly harass, attract their attention, and pull their forces. I have high hopes for you. Finished."

"Received."

At night, there was an advantage for Wang Yan and the others. Because they were equipped with individual night vision and thermal imaging, it didn't affect their combat at all.

Even if the opposite side had learned their lesson and started to group together and defend against artillery, it was useless. Wang Yan and the others always sneaked over silently, solved the alert soldiers, and then launched a surprise attack, causing damage.

When Wang Yan was in the Seventh Company, the special warfare team couldn't break in, but in fact, it was easy for the special warfare team to break into other companies. Even if discovered by the soldiers on guard, they could quickly withdraw.

But now that Wang Yan was in the special warfare team, they didn't even need to withdraw. They could even break in with a hard attack.

This night, Wang Yan's most awesome combat record was sneaking to the side of a Red side company commander...

After solving a company, they didn't even leave; they ate the food here, drank the water here, and then drove their tanks.

Yes, this was a tank company; Wang Yan and the others upgraded their equipment...

In the middle of the night, after eating and drinking their fill, they didn't rest; they drove three tanks directly toward a command post nearby that Wang Yan had judged.

Arriving at the position, they confirmed from afar that their judgment wasn't wrong. The three tanks were divided into three directions, emptying their shells in a short time. Amidst the smoke of a pile of personnel and equipment being eliminated, in the dark night, Wang Yan and the others broke in from different directions.

In terms of assault operations, the special warfare team's strength was stronger. They cooperated more tacitly, their marksmanship was more accurate, and their actions were faster.

Of course, the main reason was that Wang Yan rushed to the very front. His assault speed was too fast, moving forward without hesitation; no one could stop him, and he assaulted straight inside.

The Red side's main forces were all used to target Wang Yan amidst shouts; they couldn't let Wang Yan break in and put a gun to the commander's forehead.

But the other squad members weren't weak either. The suppression force on this side decreased, and they assaulted just as fiercely, still from all directions.

Thus, on this night, Wang Yan led the Ninth Squad, drank the tea brewed by the Red side's regimental commander, took a pack of cigarettes the regimental commander had prepared for staying up late, and suffered two casualties on their own side... ===== CHAPTER 1200 =====
