121: Who is this holy being?
In the evening, the well-fed, well-watered, and fully armed Security Team finished gathering outside Beijing city.
No mobilization was needed; everyone's eyes were filled with a chilling murderous intent.
As night fell, the group quietly appeared at Beijing's Southern Camp, resting near Wenzi Mountain.
Lu Fan closed his eyes to rest, while Old Li, Li Zhenshan, sat by his side.
He cradled a QJY-201, his rough fingers unconsciously stroking the cold body of the gun.
On the other side sat a cold-faced, sharp-eyed young man named Zhang Rui, the third-place finisher of the recent Martial Arts Competition.
Behind the three, Ah Fu sat cross-legged; beneath his pitch-black sunglasses, his eyes shimmered with a deep blue light.
His Bionic Eyes, reinforced with Crystals, were performing a 360-degree scan of the surroundings with no blind spots.
"Boss, Eagle Eye shows an artillery position 900 meters to the front-left."
Lu Fan snapped his eyes open, and Li Zhenshan and Zhang Rui immediately entered an attack stance.
"Boss, the enemy has eight 70mm mountain guns and 133 personnel—a company of Japs."
Ah Fu detailed the situation; hearing it was a Japanese artillery company, Li Zhenshan and Zhang Rui were eager to act.
"Damn it, these beasts want to shell Wanping City! Boss, let's get 'em!"
Old Li's eyes blazed with fire, the bloodlust of the Big Sword Unit instantly ignited, wishing he could charge down and hack them to pieces immediately.
"Boss, it's an opportunity!" Zhang Rui analyzed calmly. "The Japanese artillery company is perfectly countered by our squad.
If we launch a surprise attack now, we can finish the battle in twenty minutes!"
Lu Fan looked back to see over fifty pairs of eyes staring at him, all filled with intense fighting spirit.
Then there was no reason to hesitate; just do it.
With a flick of his hand, he distributed the wireless communication equipment obtained from completing a main quest.
"Good! Old Li, you lead the assault team! Zhang Rui, you command from the rear! We'll provide you with intelligence support."
"Yes!" Zhang Rui and Old Li responded simultaneously, their fighting spirit boiling.
"Attention everyone!" Lu Fan pressed his throat communicator, and clear orders were transmitted to every team member through their radio headsets.
"Put on your night-vision goggles and check your weapons and ammunition! Target: The Japanese Army artillery position on the southern slope of Wenzi Mountain!
Zhang Rui is the field commander, Li Zhenshan is the assault vanguard!
Begin the operation!"
Silently, the fifty men turned into reapers of the night, quietly approaching the artillery position.
"Ah Fu, activate Eagle Eye, monitor the entire field, and provide them with intelligence support."
"Yes, Boss!" Ah Fu's voice came through.
He quickly activated his upgraded Bionic Eyes, turning on high-definition thermal imaging and motion capture functions.
The entire battlefield was mapped out in his vision as clearly as daylight; not even a blade of grass moving could escape his notice.
"Eagle Eye in position; no external reinforcements detected. Sentry positions: two at two o'clock, one at ten o'clock."
Ah Fu's voice reported calmly over the channel.
"Copy that!" Zhang Rui immediately ordered. "Sniper team, silently eliminate the outer sentries.
Assault teams one and two, follow Captain Li for the main attack from the two o'clock direction.
Fire support team, move the machine guns forward and suppress any potential counterattack points.
Move out!"
The orders were clear and concise, and the Security Team instantly sprang into action like a precision killing machine.
Five members equipped with JS Sniper Rifles vanished into the darkness like ghosts.
After a few barely audible muffled thuds, Ah Fu's voice came through: "Outer sentries eliminated!"
"Follow me!" Old Li growled, charging out like a tiger descending the mountain, machine gun in hand!
The assault team members followed closely behind, their movements as swift as cheetahs; with the help of night-vision goggles, the darkness was no longer an obstacle.
The type 85 submachine guns in their hands spat out short, lethal tongues of fire.
They accurately picked off any scattered Japanese soldiers who tried to block them.
"Ten o'clock, machine gunner behind the bunker!" Ah Fu's voice warned in time.
Da da da!
The fire support team's general-purpose machine guns immediately roared.
A dense hail of bullets instantly covered the target area, riddling the Japanese soldiers and their newly mounted machine gun with holes.
The Japanese artillery position instantly fell into chaos.
They never dreamed that such a unit, with fierce firepower and swift movements, would suddenly appear in their rear.
Many artillerymen didn't even have time to pick up their rifles before being cut down by precise gunfire.
A few infantrymen who reacted tried to use the cannons and ammunition crates for cover,
but before the Security Team's overwhelming automatic firepower and precise coordination, it was like an ant trying to stop a carriage!
Old Li was at the very front, his machine gun roaring.
Bullets swept through the chaotic crowd of Japanese soldiers like pouring water, leaving a trail of fallen men behind.
At this moment, he was like the God of War, Chiyou, possessed; his peerless bravery and fierce aura intimidated the entire field.
Zhang Rui, like a chess player controlling the whole board, stood calmly a bit further back.
He constantly adjusted the deployment based on Ah Fu's real-time intelligence: "Team two, move left, suppressive fire.
Fire support team, watch your range, don't let any stragglers escape!"
The battle broke out quickly and ended even faster.
In just twelve short minutes, this Japanese artillery company, along with its security unit, was completely wiped out!
The ground was a mess, filled with drifting smoke.
The Security Team suffered zero casualties, with only two men sustaining minor scrapes.
"Report to Boss! The target position has been cleared!
We annihilated all 133 Japs—none escaped. We captured some weapons and ammunition and destroyed six cannons!"
Zhang Rui's voice rang out in the channel, carrying a hint of post-battle breathlessness and immense satisfaction!
Lu Fan walked slowly into the battlefield with Ah Fu.
Looking at the scene before him, which resembled a slaughterhouse.
Feeling the lingering smoke and the chilling murderous intent radiating from the team members.
There was only one word in his heart: exhilarating!
Crushing the enemy with equipment and training that transcended the era—this was the combat power he desired.
"Clear the battlefield, gather all supplies. After withdrawing, the sniper team will lay mines on the spot. Move fast."
Zhang Rui issued the cleanup orders with great experience.
Half an hour later, the sound of large-scale explosions rang out again from the direction of Wenzi Mountain.
A Drone, taking advantage of the night and using the explosions as cover, flew to the top of Wanping City's walls.
It neatly dropped off several hundred kilograms of weapons and ammunition along with a battle report before quietly departing.
When this battle report was delivered to the hands of the confused Colonel Ji Xingwen of the 219th Regiment, who was supervising the battle from the city walls,
he could hardly believe his eyes. The report contained a simple line: "Completely annihilated the Japanese artillery company on Wenzi Mountain."
Ji Xingwen looked at the report and the accompanying captured supplies, shocked beyond measure!
From the moment the first shots were fired to the end of the battle, no more than fifteen minutes had passed.
Wiping out a whole company of Japs in such a short time was something even his entire regiment couldn't achieve.
Such a blitzkrieg and such results were far beyond his understanding.
He looked toward Wenzi Mountain; there was no longer the roar of artillery, only faint flickers of fire.
An indescribable shock surged through the heart of this iron-blooded colonel.
The only thing to be thankful for was that these were Friendly Forces and not enemies.
Immediately, a question rose in his mind: Who on earth are these Friendly Forces?
