Qin Tian walked at the front, constantly observing the surroundings. Tonight's operation was extremely secretive; it was crucial that no one was allowed to follow them.
After everyone gathered at the abandoned factory in the north of the city, they were finally able to take off their heavy coats and felt much more comfortable.
Qin Tian turned around and said calmly, "After passing this abandoned factory, we'll enter the US military's patrol area. My route is absolutely fine; you just need to follow me closely."
Ye Cunxin kept her eyes glued to Qin Tian. Although the light was dim, Qin Tian exuded a cool and charismatic aura when he was giving orders, which was always so captivating.
Zhuang Yan was initially skeptical, after all, Qin Tian hadn't even looked at the map, and besides, the US patrol teams all had their own patrol routes, so how could Qin Tian know them so well? But when he thought of what his comrades had said, his doubts immediately disappeared.
In the wilderness, the bright moon hangs high, with a visibility of over 300 meters, and this is without the aid of military binoculars.
A patrol of twenty soldiers drove up in armored vehicles, looking menacing.
On the armored vehicle, towering searchlights rotated intermittently, illuminating the surrounding 800 meters clearly. Qin Tian and his group lay prone on the grass 800 meters away. Fortunately, there was a broken wall providing cover; otherwise, the patrol would have spotted them if they had gotten any closer.
Ever since they left the abandoned factory, almost everyone's heart was in their throat.
The patrol appeared at just the right time, immediately creating a stalemate. If they continued forward, they would easily be spotted; if they bypassed this patrol, another patrol would appear a kilometer ahead.
Another option is to wait, but who is willing to wait indefinitely?
Then, Qin Tian pulled out two explosive throwing knives.
Two whooshing sounds rang out, but they were quickly drowned out by the roar of the engine as they approached the armored vehicle.
The explosive throwing knives would explode once they hit their target, but Qin Tian set up a delay system for them, so they just stuck into the tires like ordinary throwing knives.
The six-wheeled armored vehicle continued forward when suddenly its tires vibrated, but no one heard the dull thud. The American soldier driving the armored vehicle paid no attention.
For a six-wheeled armored vehicle, even if a tire blows out, it's not a big problem and won't affect its ability to continue moving forward.
Soon, the armored vehicle driver realized something was wrong. Why was the vehicle slowing down and shaking?
The American soldiers got out of the vehicle and quickly discovered that both front tires had burst, which explained why they couldn't continue.
The American soldiers were filled with questions. How did the tires suddenly burst? And both of them at the same time? Had they been attacked? But this was clearly not the result of a bullet hitting a tire.
Left with no other option, the American soldiers had to request a tow truck. Since the tow truck from headquarters hadn't arrived yet, they had no choice but to wait in place.
On the other side, Qin Tian smiled mysteriously; his first step in the plan had succeeded. And this armored vehicle would soon become an asset to him.
At the US military base in South Korea, Lieutenant General Pilsen, one of the few remaining US lieutenant generals, has been extremely stressed lately. With the THAAD system about to be deployed, he hasn't slept for three days and three nights.
The chief of staff walked into Pilsen's command room and said, "Lieutenant General Pilsen, the patrol team down the mountain has a flat tire and is waiting for a tow truck. Could it be..."
Bilson immediately waved his hand and said, "No, there's been a problem with the South Korean base in Singapore. Although we haven't found anything, I suspect the Chinese military has taken some action. However, this is definitely not a signal of their operation; it's a diversionary tactic. China loves using these kinds of tricks. Make arrangements to strengthen patrols on other routes."
"The THAAD system is of paramount importance; there can be no mistakes this time." After receiving the order, the chief of staff left the command center.
As for Qin Tian, he had achieved his goal after the patrol team stopped on the spot. Through the Sky Eye system, he had a clear understanding of the situation within a one-kilometer radius, and there was no other patrol team there.
Now, their performance is about to begin.
Under Qin Tian's command, the group quickly bypassed the partially collapsed wall and then swaggered along the patrol route.
This was the only safe route, and everyone began to move forward at full speed.
Because Qin Tian used a body-enhancing agent on everyone, their physical abilities were greatly improved. They completed the one-kilometer rapid acceleration in just two minutes.
In a grove of trees, the group took a short rest. Observer Wang Yanbing climbed a low tree and then used binoculars to observe the surroundings.
A short while later, Wang Yanbing jumped down from the tree.
"Report to the captain: No enemy traces have been found within a three-kilometer radius, and there are three patrol teams within a five-kilometer radius."
Qin Tian nodded slightly; everything was within his expectations. His planned route would not encounter any patrols until he reached the outpost outside the base.
After a short rest, the team resumed their full-speed advance and headed straight for the outpost.
This is a U.S. military camp. After arriving here, the number of patrolling soldiers in the vicinity has increased significantly.
Centered around the U.S. military base in South Korea, there are six squad outposts, all of which happen to be on the only route to the mountain.
Qin Tian roughly surveyed the area outside the outpost and found that although there were some places where he could bypass the troops and go up the mountain, it was only feasible for him alone. For others, it would be extremely difficult and there was also a great risk of being discovered.
Inside the command center of the U.S. military base in Gunsan, North Korea.
News of the armored vehicle explosion arrived, and more than half of the patrol team members were injured by the blast wave.
Lieutenant General Pilsen's first reaction was shock. He stared at the 3D map on the screen, then at the location of the Fifth Patrol, and fell into deep thought.
Three minutes later, Bilson suddenly spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, this is still a diversionary tactic, and the Chinese people have probably already arrived. Yes, they should have already crossed our patrol line."
"Shall we activate the second patrol plan now?" the chief of staff asked in a low voice.
"The second patrol plan is to patrol in a ring around the northern mountains. Go and arrange it. The outermost ring will have the most patrol teams, decreasing in number as you go. Since we have just increased the number of patrol teams, this will ensure that there are no blind spots in the patrol."
Sitting in his chair, Bilsen occasionally tapped his fingers lightly on the table, turned to look at the monitor in front of him, and looked excited, as if victory was in his grasp.
"Don't even think about escaping your control, let alone one Chinese unit or even ten," the chief of staff flattered. He knew that the US military would soon have them trapped like turtles in a jar, and the Chinese units would be left with no choice but to wait for their doom.
On Qin Tian's side, after controlling the explosion of the blasting knife, the soldiers in the camp remained motionless and continued to hold their posts, which clearly indicated that the situation was not simple.
Qin Tian quickly noticed a change in the patrol routes nearby. Previously, the patrols had traveled straight, but now they were circling the northern mountains. Wang Yanbing lowered his binoculars and said in a low voice, "The enemy has changed their patrol route."
"That's right, the enemy has already detected our intrusion, but they don't yet know our exact location," Qin Tian replied calmly. The US military, being one of the world's top armies, is naturally a force to be reckoned with.
"Huh? How is that possible? We hid it so well."
"Is it because the patrol team isn't moving?"
The group whispered among themselves. After a moment of contemplation, Qin Tian said, "The commander is smarter than I thought. He must have realized our presence when the patrol stopped."
"If we had changed our patrol route back then, they would have just kept us out. But now, we're surrounded?" Zhuang Yan guessed.
"You guessed right, but it's okay, we still have a chance, it's just that time is tight."
"Time is of the essence? What do you mean?"
"In about five minutes, someone will find this place. That means we have to get to the entrance of the mountain road within five minutes," Qin Tian said in a deep voice.
Five minutes? Everyone fell into deep thought; that was far too difficult. Besides, could those patrolmen really find their way here?
Qin Tian didn't have time to explain further. The patrol was conducting a thorough search, essentially narrowing down the search area. Once it was completely closed, the chance of escape would be zero. Even if they managed to break through, the soldiers at the mountain base would be alert.
After a moment's thought, Qin Tian said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. This is the most critical moment of this operation; the slightest mistake could lead to total annihilation."
“I have planned a route for you, and I can guarantee that it is a route without any soldiers. All you have to do is move forward at full speed.”
These words shocked everyone. They had almost never seen Qin Tian with such a serious expression. Was the team going to split up? Use them to draw fire?
"Captain, how can that be? If we can't break through the enemy lines, it means the mission has failed," Xu Tianlong said, frowning.
“I’m the observer, I know the surroundings best. Leave the task of drawing fire to me.” Wang Yanbing gripped the binoculars tightly, his hands trembling slightly, perhaps from gripping them too tightly.
“I’ll do it. I’m the most useless when it comes to the actual charge. I thought it through before this operation: as long as my death is worthwhile, I’m not afraid,” He Chenguang said through gritted teeth.
“You guys are talking about drawing fire, Captain? Can’t I, Li Erniu, do it? I didn’t come to South Korea with any intention of leaving alive.” Li Erniu’s honest voice rang out.
Hearing everyone's tone of resignation, Qin Tian was suddenly moved, his nose tingling slightly, but he held it back and put on an extremely serious expression, scolding, "Shut up, all of you. When have my words ever been invalid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
What he was going to do, neither his comrades could stop him, nor could the enemy!
Wherever the flying knives went, that was his domain! Qin Tian had already given Ye Cunxin the route and departure time, and he believed that Ye Cunxin would lead the team to their destination safely.
The battlefield is ever-changing; nothing is absolute. Qin Tian had planned the route and timing, but he trusted that Ye Cunxin would adapt to the changing circumstances.
The explosion woke up many sleeping US soldiers, and nearby patrols quickly arrived at the scene.
The explosions not only echoed within the camp, but also occurred intermittently within a radius of several hundred meters. Soldiers inside the camp quickly rushed out and formed ranks outside.
Second by second, according to Qin Tian's precise calculations, there were no more soldiers left in the camp. Wang Yanbing put down his binoculars and urged, "The nearest patrol team is only 500 meters away."
"Cross the electric fence, walk 300 meters to the right, then turn left and you'll see three barracks. That's the entrance to the mountain road. Hurry!"
Ye Cunxin announced the route designated by Qin Tian, and everyone quickly set to work.
There were naturally no American soldiers in the route the seven were taking, because those soldiers had long been taken care of by Qin Tian's throwing knives.
Patrol soldiers and regular troops were assembled together, completely blocking the entrance to the mountain road. More than 1,500 soldiers blocked the entrance, forming human walls that firmly kept Qin Tian outside.
The entire unit's monitoring system had long been paralyzed, so Lieutenant General Pilsen concluded that the Chinese troops were still blocked outside the camp.
Qin Tian's throwing knife technique allows him to teleport forty-nine meters. To bypass these soldiers, he would need to teleport at least twice, with a one-minute interval between each teleportation. Therefore, it is impossible to teleport past these soldiers using his throwing knife.
Fortunately, after the soldiers gathered at the entrance to the mountain road, the entire camp instantly became empty, with not a single person in sight.
The Red Cell Team, along with Zhuang Yan and Ye Cunxin, a group of seven, entered the mountain path. Instead of rushing to the summit as originally planned, they stopped halfway up the mountain to regroup. Indeed, concerned for their team leader Qin Tian's safety, they decided to wait for him. Wang Yanbing crouched in a tree, constantly observing the movements below, while the others gathered around Ye Cunxin's computer.
Ye Cunxin quickly pulled up the surveillance footage from the military camp.
"After the captain hacked into the monitoring system, he provided me with a channel, and I successfully entered using the password he gave me."
As Ye Cunxin spoke, more than a dozen surveillance cameras appeared on the screen. Soon, Ye Cunxin located the camera where Qin Tian was positioned.
"The captain is alright." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Isn't that obvious? When has the captain ever made a mistake?" The pilot breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't mince words.
"Hey, who was it that kept nagging the whole way?" Xu Tianlong immediately complained.
Next, Ye Cunxin zoomed in on the image.
On the screen, Qin Tian was leisurely moving around the military camp, seemingly without any purpose.
"Is our captain out shopping? Are you kidding me?" Zhuang Yan rubbed his eyes and said incredulously.
As for the others, they were already used to it. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Qin Tian remained.
Seeing this, He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing couldn't help but wonder if, even if they had successfully drawn the fire, they would still dare to wander around the military camp at this time.
Qin Tian wasn't just wandering aimlessly through the military camp; he was conducting a purposeful and planned inspection. Forcing his way in wouldn't be a problem for him, given his strength. (End of Chapter)
