Reversal of the Battle, New Main Storyline Mission?

Although the Blue Army Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade had failed their side operation, Kang Lei did not let his guard down. He knew Fan Tianlei's character too well. He would take revenge for the smallest grievance. And besides, with his entire Wild Wolf Squad being wiped out by one private under his command, that man would never let it go!

Therefore, under Kang Lei's instructions, the Iron Fist Regiment adopted a circular defense method to prevent the Blue Army's special forces from being decapitated again.

The sky was already dark, and the vast mountains were shrouded in darkness!

Other than the torchlights of the patrol team, the searchlights of the outpost, and the lights of the barracks, the surroundings seemed to be swallowed in darkness. Under the cover of the towering forest, one could not see their own fingers.

Sha, sha, sha…

The grass near the Iron Fist Regiment moved. An 8-man assault team slowly advanced. It was a team led by Fan Tianlei!

Miao Lang, the main attacker, made sure that the surroundings were safe and waved his hand. Fan Tianlei and the others immediately approached.

After Chen Shanming observed the enemy's defense, he lowered his voice and said to Fan Tianlei,

"Number Five, the Iron Fist Regiment has set up layers of defense. It seems that they have expected us to execute the decapitation operation again."

"Old Kang is an old regiment commander who has fought in many wars."

Fan Tianlei wasn't surprised. He paused and looked around at the enemies. Then the corners of his mouth curled up.

"But... After all, it was still the same defense tactic of the regular troops, tight on the outside but loose on the inside. It seemed that Old Kang still did not understand our special forces!"

With his many years of experience in war and special operations, he could tell the depth of the Iron Fist Regiment's defense at a glance.

A circular defense that was tight on the outside and loose on the inside was only effective against regular troops. However, against special forces like them, it was the opposite. Special forces focused on defeating many with fewer forces and winning by surprise. It was precisely the defense method that should be used to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Old Kang still hadn't changed his way of thinking… Fan Tianlei thought to himself as he pointed to the front and ordered,

"Shanming, Miao Lang, I'll give you three minutes to create a safe passage!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Chen Shanming agreed and then smiled.

"We can solve it in one minute and thirty seconds!"

Immediately, he took Miao Lang to clear the external defense of the Iron Fist Regiment and used a silent method to kill the enemy to clear the obstacles for the assault team.

Looking at the backs of Chen Shanming and Miao Lang, Fan Tianlei laughed and scolded,

"Little brat, will you die if you don't brag?"

The following operation was much simpler. After the two of them cleared the external defense, the assault team quickly infiltrated the Iron Fist Regiment's headquarters. As expected by Fan Tianlei, the Iron Fist Regiment's internal defense was very loose.

The assault team was split into two groups. One group was led by Chen Shanming and Miao Lang, while the other group was led by Fan Tianlei. They robbed a military vehicle and fled.

A stun grenade was thrown into the command barracks. Miao Lang and Chen Shanming moved quickly. Their target was clear. While the others were blinded by the stun grenade, they put on a gunny sack and directly captured the Iron Fist Regiment's commander, Kang Lei.

Fan Tianlei's car quickly came to his aid. By the time the Iron Fist Regiment reacted, their regiment commander was already gone!

....

Wars were always so unpredictable. No one knew what would happen in the next second.

Just a moment ago, the Blue Army was in a state of defeat, and the entire army group was held back by the Iron Fist Regiment. However, in a short time, the leader of the Iron Fist Regiment was beheaded, and the regiment was in chaos. It could be said that they were caught off guard!

"That's great! Our special forces beheaded the leader of the Red Iron Fist Regiment and destroyed their regiment headquarters!"

In the Blue Army Command, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei was extremely happy when he learned of this. He immediately ordered decisively,

"Pass down my order: launch a full-scale attack. Take this opportunity to annihilate the Iron Fist Regiment!"

As soon as this order was issued, the army that was still being held back and losing ground, with low morale, instantly reignited their fighting spirit and launched a counterattack with the momentum of a tiger.

The Iron Fist Regiment's defensive positions all over the place suffered a near-destructive blow!

In an instant, the battle situation was reversed, and the offensive and defensive positions were reversed. The divisions in the Iron Fist Regiment were exhausted from dealing with the encirclement of the Blue Army, and they suffered heavy casualties!

The Sharpshooters 4th Division guarding the Highland 291 was no exception. A regiment of the Blue Army launched a charge. Gunshots rang out everywhere and artillery fire filled the sky.

The Sharpshooters were halfway up the mountain and were responsible for blocking the Blue Army's charge.

Lin Shu pointed at the enemy with his sniper rifle and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"The horn of the Blue Army's counterattack has sounded. It seems that Commander Kang has not escaped the fate of being beheaded…"

There was nothing he could do about it. Lin Shu knew this plot from watching Special Ops 2 in his previous life. It wasn't that he didn't want to warn Commander Kang, but it was obviously unrealistic. Not to mention that Sharpshooter 4th Division had received the order to separate from the regiment headquarters and head to Highland 291 to guard it. Even if he did not, how could he warn him? He was just a mere private, and his words were light. He won't be able to change anything!

In war, soldiers were always the executors, not the decision-makers.

As he was thinking, Lin Shu's sword-like eyebrows suddenly froze. Then, he decisively pulled the trigger. With a bang, he had eliminated a Machine Gunner from the Blue Army!

Ding! 

[The host has activated Killing mode and killed an enemy, Machine Gunner. Reward: 10 EXP!]

The only thing that made Lin Shu happy about the sudden charge and counter-attack of the Blue Army was the system's Killing mode. It was simply a super fast way to accumulate EXP and level up.

Including the five Wild Wolf Squad special forces soldiers he had killed earlier, each of them gave him 25 EXP. Adding on the previous battle, he had already obtained 225 EXP.

Unfortunately, he did not have many opportunities to farm for more enemies and gain EXP. He received the order and the entire division began to retreat.

This was normal. The enemy's firepower and strength were too strong. The difference between them and the enemy was too great. It was impossible for them to defend Highland 291. In his memory from the drama, Gong Jian had even argued with Old Hei.

The reason being Gong Jian didn't want to retreat, but Old Hei stopped him. After all, if this continued, the entire division would be wiped out!

....

The Sharpshooters 4th Division retreated, but the Blue Army was obviously not prepared to let them go just like that. As the saying went, "If the enemy retreated, I would pursue." They quickly gathered their forces and began a fan-shaped search. Their goal was to eliminate the remaining soldiers of the Iron Fist Regiment.

As a result, many of the brothers in the division would be scattered and flee everywhere. This was something that could not be helped!

Lin Shu, for example, did not move with the main group because he was a sniper. He was responsible for covering fire when the company retreated. He did not expect the Blue Army to chase too many people, so the only thing he could do was to escape elsewhere.

Just like that, Lin Shu shuttled through the forest alone. After several twists and turns, he finally found a temporarily safe place to rest.

He ran at full speed for at least 20 to 30 kilometers. Even with his 6 points of Constitution Strength, he could not help but gasp for breath and drink some water. Lin Shu leaned against a tree and calmed his breathing while thinking to himself,

'I can't escape passively like this. I have to think of a way to do something big…'

Previously, he was in the division and had to listen to the orders of the main group. Now that he was alone and in this huge forest, if he did not cause some trouble, he would let down this rare opportunity!

At this moment, a three-dimensional metallic voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Ding! 

[Main Mission: Behead the Commander of the Blue Army. Mission Reward: 500 experience points, 1 skill selection treasure chest, 2 S-rank skill advancement cards…]

"I... F*ck!" Lin Shu was stunned when he saw the main mission. Did he see it wrong? What kind of joke was this? He didn't even know where the door of the Blue Army's headquarters was, okay?!

System, are you sure you're not joking with me?
