Chapter 1187 Thunder Leopard Special Forces Brigade, in Danger!
Chapter 1187 Thunder Leopard Special Forces Brigade, in Danger!
Inside the headquarters office of the Thunder Leopard Special Operations Brigade.
Lei Kaiwen was pacing anxiously back and forth in his office, his brow furrowed, looking very worried.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Report."
"Enter!"
The chief of staff, accompanied by deputy squadron leader Kong Lai, entered the office together.
"Captain, what are your instructions?"
"Close the door."
After closing the door, the two men exchanged a glance, seemingly sensing the captain's distress.
Normally, this captain is always as steady as a mountain, so why does he look so extremely uneasy this time?
Kong Lai spoke up first: "Captain, the decapitation operation went relatively smoothly this time. We captured most of the commanders of the lower-level units of the combined arms brigade."
"Overall, it should be considered relatively good?"
The chief of staff added, "Although we suffered setbacks with the Steel Knife Battalion and the Operations Department, it was to be expected. After all, we had no support and were just charging in alone, so mistakes were bound to happen."
On the battlefield, special forces soldiers often operate in conjunction with reconnaissance soldiers.
Often, special forces would only send out small groups to infiltrate after the reconnaissance troops had gathered the general intelligence.
Furthermore, there will be heavy armored troops providing fire support and cover from the rear.
This is to ensure greater stability and that the mission can be completed smoothly.
But this time, Qin Feng's arrival was too sudden, giving them no time to prepare.
They directly sent elite forces charging in single-handedly, essentially doing the work of several people, and were even forced to jump into the sea with guns pointed at their heads.
In any real war, they would make preparations in advance, arrange support personnel, and even use all sorts of "smoke bombs" to confuse the public and achieve their mission objectives.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the Lei Bao team completed the mission very well this time, and their performance in the operation was commendable, demonstrating both courage and resourcefulness!
As the battalion commander, Lei Kaiwen naturally knew this as well. He waved his hand forcefully: "I called you here not to discuss this. I'm asking you, has the large-scale troop roll call at the training department already begun?"
"Correct."
The chief of staff nodded: "The intelligence staff sent word earlier that a few hours ago the combined arms brigade suddenly received orders to set off urgently to the xxx training ground for a live-fire assessment."
Kevin Lei then asked, "How is the combined arms brigade performing so far?"
Kong Lai laughed: "It must be complete chaos. So many of our grassroots command posts have been wiped out, and orders can't be transmitted smoothly, so there will definitely be delays. I bet they're stumbling and rushing to the training ground right now."
"It is said that several of their support and logistics units encountered traffic congestion on the way and had to take a long detour to reach their destination."
"I'm afraid that by now, the entire combined arms brigade will make a fool of themselves before the assessment even begins..."
Snapped!
Lei Kaiwen slammed his hand on the table, his emotions running high.
“That’s the problem!”
"what?"
Kong Lai didn't understand yet, but the chief of staff had already figured it out.
He looked at Lei Kaiwen seriously: "Captain, are you saying that we'll be held responsible for this in the end?"
Kong Lai's eyes widened: "That can't be right! We're just following orders from headquarters. It's because they're not vigilant enough, they're lax in their supervision, and they're so undisciplined. What does that have to do with us?"
"If they were on duty 24 hours a day in a state of combat readiness, would we be able to succeed time and time again?"
"Without even needing to be on guard 24 hours a day, and by improving nighttime security and management systems, the discipline we've achieved will be greatly compromised!"
"That's true, but every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor..." The chief of staff frowned, his tone somewhat melancholy.
"Qin Feng gave the order, so if the combined arms brigade is going to complain, they should complain about Qin Feng. What does it have to do with us?" Kong Lai said indignantly.
But Lei Kaiwen's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on him: "I'll ask you one question: if you were Qin Feng, would you try to shift the blame to Lei Bao?"
"Forehead......"
After a moment of silence, the two gave a resolute response.
Yes! And it's certain!
"So, Captain, are you worried that once you've dealt with the combined arms brigade's issues, you'll turn around and come after us?"
"Yes, that's the terrifying aspect of strategic maneuvering!"
The chief of staff reacted instantly: "Using their own weapon against them, forcing different unit systems to hone their skills against each other. And Qin Feng is the guy who lobbied between us, stirring up trouble!"
"We're in big trouble now..."
Kong Lai frowned: "In previous exercises, we've defeated quite a few teams. They stood firm despite being beaten and scolded; if you're willing to gamble, you have to accept defeat. Even if Qin Feng takes over, the combined arms brigade isn't necessarily going to be used as a shield, is it?"
Lei Kaiwen looked at him: "Yes, definitely; you have to pick up your pride back where you lost it!"
"I'm worried that one day when we're not paying attention, these guys will bring in all their tanks, planes, and artillery and surround our training base!"
"They dare!?"
Kong Lai slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily: "There's no law anymore! The headquarters will never agree to this!"
The chief of staff tugged at him twice, gesturing for him to sit down, then offered him a cigarette before speaking slowly: "In fact, this is exactly what headquarters wants to see right now. If they allow us to launch a night raid on the combined arms brigade and behead so many people, they will tacitly allow the combined arms brigade to come knocking on their door in the future."
"Our special operations brigade is still infantry after all. We don't have heavy equipment. If that day really comes, our Lei Bao will be nailed to the pillar of shame, just like today's combined arms brigade."
"Shame leads to courage, and destruction leads to construction. This is what the higher-ups want to see, and it is also Qin Feng's ultimate goal."
“He doesn’t just want one unit, he wants two. And after he’s used us as an example, he’ll probably target other units.”
A chill ran through Kong Laizhi, and the hairs on his arms and back stood on end: "He, how could he see so far ahead and plan so much? Isn't he afraid of incurring public wrath and being retaliated against?"
Lei Kaiwen had quit smoking a long time ago, but for the first time ever, he lit one and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, looking agitated: "Do you think Qin Feng is the same person he used to be?"
"A special-class meritorious official, the youngest senior colonel, a 25-year-old division-level officer, he not only has big shots in the command headquarters standing behind him, but also people in headquarters supporting him."
"His future promotion to general is almost a certainty, and we will eventually become the stepping stones under his feet, helping him to the top."
Kong Long was pale and didn't know what to say.
The initial smugness after the mission was over vanished instantly.
He thought that this operation was a test from above for Lei Bao, and that if they delivered a good performance, they could at least maintain stability for a while.
Little did they expect that this fuse, once lit, would trigger such a violent chain of explosions.
This gave him a vague feeling that a red "danger" sign had appeared above his head!
The chief of staff was very anxious: "Squadron Leader, what should we do now? Should we increase precautions, or...?"
Lei Kaiwen shook his head: "That's not enough. Increasing training intensity and improving training plans are just the most basic things. The most important thing is to have a sense of crisis and a war mentality, and to treat every day from now on as if it were the eve of war."
"In addition, the base needs a batch of heavy firepower equipment, anti-armor and anti-tank equipment."
"Otherwise, when that day really comes, the words 'Thunder Leopard Special Forces Brigade' will be smashed to pieces and thrown into the latrine..."
