Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1182 The Steel Knife Battalion is indeed a tough nut to crack!

"what happened?"

"Report, Captain, there's smoke over there. It looks like something's on fire."

"Could it be that someone from my hometown found a place for me?"

There is a small population living near the Steel Knife Combined Arms Battalion's base.

Occasionally during breaks, the camp would send out errands to help villagers with chores at their homes.

They didn't see the smoke immediately; they smelled the burnt smoke in the air, which gave them a general idea of ​​the direction.

"Platoon leader, should we go over and help?"

"and many more......"

The guard platoon leader raised his hand to stop them and calmly said, "Take two brothers and drive over there first to see what's going on. If it really is a fire at a fellow villager's house, immediately call the fire department and notify the brothers from nearby units to help."

"it is good!"

The soldier immediately drove away with his men.

In a nearby pile of dry grass, two Lei Bao special forces soldiers frowned, clearly dissatisfied with this diversionary tactic.

They specifically sent someone to create smoke from a distance using damp, dry grass and branches, in order to attract attention and draw away most of the battalion's guard platoon.

After all, they deserved a third-class merit for their meritorious service in putting out the fire, but these guys only sent two people, which is a bit tricky.

"This won't work. These guards are smart; they're not that easy to fool."

"Should we create some more noise to try and lure them away?"

"No, if something goes wrong all night, even a fool would know there's something wrong."

"Keep waiting. There will definitely be an opportunity before dawn. Strike when they are most tired and exhausted!"

"it is good!"

......

A little while later, the phone rang in the duty room.

It was the two soldiers who had been sent out earlier who called.

"Hey, platoon leader."

"How is it? Is it a fire at someone's house? How big is the fire?"

"It didn't catch fire; it was just a pile of dry grass that got lit. Someone probably tossed a cigarette butt or something while passing by..."

Upon hearing that it wasn't a fellow villager's house that was on fire, the guard platoon leader breathed a sigh of relief and reminded them to be careful on their way back.

After hanging up the phone, he reported the situation to Battalion Commander Zhou Fujun, in accordance with the night duty regulations.

At this time, Zhou Fujun had already lay down to rest, exhausted from the intense training he had done during the day.

With his eyes closed, he casually answered the phone, and the guard platoon leader on the other end reported the previous emergency.

"Are you sure it wasn't a fire at someone's house?"

"It's confirmed. It's just a pile of dry leaves. Someone must have accidentally lit it with a cigarette butt while passing by."

"Cigarette butt?"

Zhou Fujun, lying on the bed, opened his eyes: "Is there anything unusual outside the battalion headquarters?"

The guard platoon leader looked up, glanced out the window, and shook his head: "Nothing unusual, it just seems... quieter than usual."

Zhou Fujun immediately sat up in bed, all sleepiness instantly gone: "Something's happened!"

"problem occurs?"

The guard platoon leader was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "You mean, something bad is going to happen?"

Zhou Fujun immediately jumped out of bed, grabbed the phone, and headed outside. At the same time, he gave instructions over the phone: "Strengthen patrols and security, deploy reconnaissance forces, and conduct a thorough search of the area surrounding the battalion headquarters!"

"Yes!"

"besides......"

Zhou Fujun quickly went to the dormitory not far away and knocked on the instructor's door.

Xu Tiancai yawned sleepily, "I just fell asleep and you came knocking on the door. What could it be that couldn't you have done earlier in the morning...?"

"The enemy has sneaked in!"

"what?"

Xu Tiancai's scalp tightened instantly, and his sleepiness vanished completely.

"What kind of enemy would dare to come here and cause trouble? Are they out of their mind?"

"I don't know, but I feel something's wrong. I've increased security and had the scouts conduct a thorough search. Don't sleep tonight; I have a feeling something big is about to happen!"

Xu Tiancai was no longer the impetuous young man he once was. He had been working with Zhou Fujun for some time and knew that he would never joke about something like this.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the guard platoon leader came over anxiously to report: "Suspicious personnel have been spotted, fleeing north. Our men are already in pursuit, but they are running very fast!"

Zhou Fujun asked, "How are your skills?"

The guard platoon leader said, "He's extremely skilled; two or three scouts couldn't subdue him, and..."

"And what?"

Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Xu Tiancai quickly pressed for more information.

The guard platoon leader then said with lingering fear, "Moreover, they used live ammunition. Our men only dared to follow them, not to chase them too closely, which is why they got away."

"live ammunition!?"

Their expressions changed instantly.

But their first reaction was definitely not that they were terrorists.

Because this is the battalion headquarters, and nearby units have armored vehicles and artillery.

Let alone terrorists, even an entire armed criminal gang would only be doomed.

Besides, given the current environment in China, it's unlikely that anyone would be so foolish as to come to the battalion headquarters armed with guns and cause trouble.

After ruling out the impossible, and considering the overall situation and the current context of realistic combat training, he immediately concluded that this was likely a surprise attack by his superiors.

Their goal was to behead these junior commanders!

Xu Tiancai broke out in a cold sweat: "Damn it, who made the first move? It was so underhanded!"

Zhou Fujun said with a grim face: "Since it was a surprise attack, it definitely wasn't just targeting us. We must notify our superiors immediately, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"you're right!"

Without saying a word, Xu Tiancai immediately picked up the phone on the table and started calling the brigade headquarters.

However, after dialing the number, they found that the division headquarters' phone line was busy and they couldn't get through.

Undeterred, he tried another telephone, but the same communication problem persisted.

"Damn it, can't get through? Could it be that the brigade headquarters has already been taken down?"

"probably not."

Zhou Fujun calmly analyzed: "The brigade headquarters has a much higher level of protection than us, with an entire guard company; the training section is right next door, and the special operations company and information brigade are also right next to each other."

"If we want to take down the brigade headquarters, we have to take down the training section first, which is almost impossible."

"The only reason is that the higher-ups deliberately cut off communication between the various units and prevented us from passing on information."

Xu Tiancai, refusing to believe it, quickly called other brother units, and sure enough, Zhou Fujun was right—all the calls failed to go through.

He originally wanted to try other ways to contact them, but Zhou Fujun stopped him.

The infiltrating force was not large, but it consisted of elite troops. This was a clear signal that the command was testing its vigilance.

Therefore, they had better behave themselves at this time and not do anything reckless.

Xu Tiancai plopped down on a stool, a helpless expression on his face: "Tonight's going to be lively..."

Zhou Fujun said in a deep voice, "Believe it or not, this is just the prelude. The real show will begin after dawn!"

......

Meanwhile, in a temporary command center of the Lei Bao Special Operations Brigade.

Qin Feng was sitting on the sofa, drinking strong tea, watching the operation with Lei Kaiwen and the chief of staff.

This mission was not only a test of the 33rd Combined Arms Brigade's vigilance, but also a comprehensive test of the Thunder Leopard's infiltration and combat capabilities, achieving two goals at once.

"Report: The infiltration operation of the Steel Knife Combined Arms Battalion headquarters has failed, but our personnel have been safely evacuated!"

"Director Qin, your old unit is indeed a tough nut to crack!"

"Zhou Fujun is quite capable."

Qin Feng smiled and turned his gaze to the screen, to another group of people.

Their target was the training department building near the brigade headquarters, and the commanders, including Ge Zhiyong, inside...
