91: Chapter 91 I'm here to fight, not to be a babysitter!

"A village? The Bear Country people went to such great lengths, sending suicide squads and creating diversions, just for a shitty, godforsaken village?"

Platoon Leader Long Zhan clutched the intelligence report, his knuckles turning white, his face etched with disbelief.

It made no sense.

Although the Bear Country people were reckless, they were by no means stupid.

To pay such a high price for a village with zero strategic value, their Commander must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Could it be fake intelligence? Are those prisoners deliberately misleading us?" Tie Zhu proposed a possibility.

Chen Mo shook his head. "Doesn't seem like it. I used some methods during the interrogation; their psychological defenses have already collapsed, and they don't seem to be lying. Besides, their testimonies all match up."

That made it even stranger.

The intelligence was real, but its content was absurd.

The entire Falcon Reconnaissance Platoon fell into confusion.

"Platoon Leader." Qin Feng's voice broke the silence.

Everyone's gaze focused on him.

"Is there a possibility..." Qin Feng spoke slowly, organizing his words, trying to guide their thinking without revealing the system.

"That this village is just a front?" He pointed to Yangjiao Village on the map.

"We are all clear about Yang Country's industrial level and mining technology. Let alone large-scale mineral deposits, even a small coal mine would require imported equipment. They simply lack the capability to independently develop any large-scale resources."

"If, and I mean if, there really is something extraordinary beneath Yangjiao Village, Yang Country could never handle it on their own."

Every word from Qin Feng was like a scalpel, precisely dissecting the core of the problem.

"Behind this, there must be the shadow of the Bear Country people. In fact, this entire plan is likely led by them."

"Using a seemingly harmless civilian village as a cover to conduct secret underground mining."

"By the time we discover it, the rice will already be cooked."

"This tactic, while old-fashioned, is very effective."

After he finished speaking, one could hear a pin drop in the command post.

The way Platoon Leader Long Zhan and the group of veterans looked at Qin Feng had completely changed.

Shock, astonishment, and even a hint of... awe.

This kid... not only Cooks well and kills efficiently, but his brain also turns damn fast!

This analytical ability, this strategic vision—how does this look like a recruit who just came out of a military training camp?

Platoon Leader Long Zhan stared at Qin Feng for a full half-minute before asking in a deep voice, "You kid, what exactly did you do before this?"

"Reporting to the Platoon Leader, I repeated a grade for two years and just got into university." Qin Feng answered without changing his expression.

Platoon Leader Long Zhan: "..." He felt his intelligence had been insulted.

"Regardless of what is hidden beneath Yangjiao Village, we must go and find out!"

Platoon Leader Long Zhan slammed his hand on the table, making his decision.

"This nail must be pulled out! We absolutely cannot let the Bear Country people's conspiracy succeed!"

His gaze swept over everyone present, and he began to issue combat orders.

"Hua Zi!" "Here!"

"You take the First Squad, five people, as the main attack force. Infiltrate from the eastern ridge and be responsible for investigating the specific situation in the village!"

"Yes!"

"Tie Zhu!" "Here!"

"You take the Second Squad, the remaining people, and flank from the western river valley. You are responsible for perimeter security and support!"

"Yes!"

Orders were issued one after another. Everyone wore a solemn expression and began to organize their equipment.

The entire dugout was filled with the crisp sounds of weapons being loaded and ammunition being checked.

The machine of war began to turn.

However, Qin Feng stood in place, motionless.

Because Platoon Leader Long Zhan had not mentioned his name from beginning to end.

After assigning the tasks, Platoon Leader Long Zhan walked over to Qin Feng and patted his shoulder.

"You, stay behind."

"Watch the fort, and by the way, research some new recipes. When we return in triumph, you'll welcome the brothers back."

The air seemed to freeze in that instant.

The expression on Qin Feng's face sank bit by bit.

Stay behind? Cook?

He had come all this way to the front lines, not to hide in the rear as a safe Chef!

What he wanted was military merit! It was combat!

"Platoon Leader." Qin Feng's voice was chillingly low. "I am not here to be a nanny."

The smile on Platoon Leader Long Zhan's face faded, and he frowned. "What did you say?"

"I said, I am here to fight!"

Qin Feng stepped forward, his gaze fixed directly on Platoon Leader Long Zhan, without the slightest hesitation.

The surrounding veterans were stunned, each stopping what they were doing and looking at each other.

This new Chef had too much guts; how could he dare to butt heads with the Platoon Leader?

"Nonsense!" Platoon Leader Long Zhan's temper flared up.

"You are a Cook, why would you go to the front lines? Your post is the kitchen, and your task is to ensure logistics! This is an order!"

"You have seen my combat skills." There was a hint of cold mockery in Qin Feng's voice.

"Wasting a combat force like me in the kitchen is, in itself, a huge waste of resources."

He paused, a provocative curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Or does the Platoon Leader think I am only fit to kill those tied-up, unarmed prisoners?"

This sentence truly stung Platoon Leader Long Zhan.

"Are you trying to rebel?!" Platoon Leader Long Zhan was furious, pointing at Qin Feng's nose and roaring.

A terrifying aura erupted from him, and the temperature in the entire dugout seemed to drop by several degrees.

However, Qin Feng stood there, his figure straight, his eyes sharp as knives.

One was a battle-hardened, decisive Platoon Leader.

The other was a transmigrated Soldier King with a tiger in his heart, unwilling to be left behind.

Neither was willing to yield. The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

"You kid do have some skills, but you just arrived and aren't familiar with the situation here, so you won't be participating in this mission!"

Platoon Leader Long Zhan said this firmly, with no room for negotiation.

"The battlefield is not a stage for your personal performance! Here, it's about coordination, it's about trust!"

"I cannot gamble the lives of the entire platoon, nine brothers, on your personal performance!"

"A madman who doesn't listen to orders and acts on his own is more dangerous on the battlefield than ten enemies!"

These words rang out clearly. It was no longer a simple reprimand, but a heavy declaration from a Commander responsible for the lives of the entire team.

Hua Zi, Tie Zhu, and the others also fell silent. What the Platoon Leader said was the truth.

On the battlefield, the most feared thing is individual heroism.

No matter how powerful a single soldier is, if they operate outside the team, they not only cannot help but might disrupt the entire combat plan and bring about devastating consequences.

Qin Feng also fell silent. He understood Platoon Leader Long Zhan's concerns.

In his previous life, when he led teams, he also hated those troublemakers who didn't listen to orders.

But... he needed military merit! Hiding in the kitchen cooking, let alone military merit, he wouldn't even get a hair. He had to go!
