Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 24 Exposed
After speaking, Chen Guotao carefully put down the telephoto camera in his hand. This thing was very precious and easily damaged if bumped or knocked.

He pulled a notebook from his pocket and began writing something on it. Chang Ning guessed that the paper contained the intelligence they currently possessed. The Blue Army's electronic jamming prevented them from transmitting intelligence via radio, leaving Chen Guotao with no choice but to use this primitive method of communication.

"Xiao Zhuang".

Hearing Chen Pai calling him, Xiao Zhuang quickly stepped forward: "Chen Pai".

Chen Pai tore the note he had written out of his notebook and handed it to him: "Take this back to our regiment's front-line command post. Be smart, if you change into civilian clothes and are searched, just say you're a college student on a picnic."

Xiao Zhuang took the note and turned to look at Chang Ning beside him, muttering to himself, hesitating. Chang Ning was stronger than him, so this mission should definitely be assigned to Chang Ning.

“I sent you on a mission, but look what Chang Ning is doing! I have other plans for him.”

Chen Guotao understood what was going on when he saw Xiao Zhuang's behavior.

Knowing that Chang Ning had other plans, Xiao Zhuang readily agreed, "Okay! But how will I come back to find you? You definitely won't be here by then."

"You don't need to come back. Stay with Miao."

How could a new recruit possibly break through the Blue Army's layers of blockade and meet up with them? For safety's sake, Chen Guotao didn't plan to let Xiao Zhuang come back.

"Huh?" Xiao Zhuang immediately looked worried. He didn't want to stay in the command post; it was boring.

"Xiao Zhuang, carry out the order!"

Chang Ning pulled Xiao Zhuang aside, not noticing that Chen Pai's expression had turned from sunny to stormy. What time is it? This isn't the time to be petty.

"Yes."

Taking the note, Xiao Zhuang solemnly put it in his pocket, turned around, and disappeared into the woods.

After Xiao Zhuang left, Chen Guotao took a few more photos of the distant position before leading everyone away.

"The wolf has just lost its prey."

No sooner had the first group of people left than the Wolf Fang men caught up with them.

The high school team took the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company very seriously. The company's commander was Old Miao, an opponent who knew their Wolf Fang style very well.

“With the Night Tigers reconnaissance company here, many of our deployments have already been exposed. Now only this last platoon is left,” Gray Wolf Mada said.

The reason Chen Guotao and his team couldn't contact the command post by radio was because the Wolf Fang men notified the electronic warfare regiment to carry out the operation, in order to silently eliminate the Night Tiger reconnaissance company.

This company may not be the strongest, but it is definitely the most troublesome. Eliminating the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company will greatly reduce the losses suffered by the Blue Army in this area.

"Coyotes, how long have they been gone?"

Gao Zhongdui had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, chewing slowly. The bitter taste of the grass juice spread throughout his mouth, invigorating him. He hadn't slept for two days in order to eliminate the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.

"About ten minutes."

The coyote squatted on the ground, picked up a small clump of soil, examined it carefully, and then looked at the broken weeds around it. The cuts were still fresh, and the grass juice hadn't dried yet, indicating that the person hadn't been gone for long.

"Lead the way, and taking out the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company will make things easier for us."

After hearing the coyote's report, the high school captain mustered his spirits, spat out the grass in his mouth, and quickly gave the order.

At this moment, the platoon that was marching rapidly toward their next target was completely unaware that they had been spotted by the high school team, and the distance between the two sides was constantly closing.

Chang Ning, who was walking in the middle of the group, noticed something was wrong. He felt that the scene of Chen Guotao and Xiao Zhuang talking earlier was familiar.

The fact that he gets this feeling usually means it's a scene he witnessed in a previous life.

'So, a plot point has been triggered, but what exactly is it?'

Chang Ning's intuition told him that the following plot was important, but he just couldn't remember what would happen, so he could only secretly increase his vigilance. The platoon was large, and their marching speed was not as fast as the six-man special forces team led by Captain Gao.

The special forces team took a long detour and blocked the front of the line.

"Changning, something doesn't feel right to me."

Xiwa walked up to Changning and whispered something.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Ning also felt something was off. It was just a warning sign that someone was about to encounter danger; in layman's terms, it was a sixth sense. Whether it was accurate or not varied from person to person, and Chang Ning wasn't sure.

Judging from what Xiwa said, he had a similar feeling, which means that there is a high probability that something unexpected will happen next.

Just as Chang Ning was about to speak to Chen Guotao, she saw Chen Guotao, who was walking at the front, raise his right fist high. Immediately afterward, the team quickly crouched down on the spot and found cover.

"It seems the platoon leader has also noticed something's wrong."

Chang Ning gradually realized that the group had changed direction; it was Chen Guotao who gave the order. Although he didn't see anything wrong, his intuition told him that they couldn't continue forward.

Better safe than sorry. He was responsible for the entire platoon, so he ordered a change of direction.

On the mountain road, the Blue Army search team was parked, with special forces soldiers on guard at gunpoint. Team Leader Gao hadn't expected Chen Guotao to order a change of direction halfway through, leaving them waiting in vain, and ultimately losing track of the person.

Now the only option is the clumsy method of setting up checkpoints and arming defenses.

Gao Zhong, wearing headphones and listening to the radio, said, "That's strange. Why is the Red Army's frequency so quiet? Have their scouts really gone into radio silence?"

Grey Wolf Mada sat in the front and smiled bitterly: "Wild Wolf, this must have been done by the Electronic Warfare Regiment. We even asked them for help before! They were just featured in the military newspaper, and they were just waiting for this moment to show their faces!"

Gao Zhong took off his headphones and said anxiously, "Isn't this ridiculous? How can they even interfere with our radio? How are we supposed to capture the Red Army scouts?"

"Communications officer, connect me to the Blue Army headquarters!"

The high school team was somewhat unhappy.

It's the beginning of the century, and the informatization of the military is just starting. Everyone is still figuring out the specific procedures, and the coordination between different units is not yet perfect.

"Respond if you hear me! Lone Wolf is calling, respond if you hear me..."

Headquarters was aware of the danger of allowing a group of scouts to operate behind their lines. Soon after, the antennas of the Blue Army's electronic warfare vehicles, hidden in the mountains, stopped rotating, indicating that they had deactivated their electronic shielding.

In the mountains, in some unknown place, a row of messengers shouted excitedly, "The platoon leader has been reached! He's responded!"
Headquarters, this is the Sharp Knife…

"Sigh, Xiao Zhuang is gone."

Chen Guotao looked at the mountain path and smiled bitterly. The radio station had made contact with headquarters, so Xiao Zhuang was no longer needed. With the battle situation unclear, having more people meant having more strength.

Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Chen Guotao was unaware that their contact with headquarters had directly exposed them to the high school team's surveillance.

"Captain, we've tracked down Night Tiger's men!"

Flying Wolf put down his radio and reported to the high school team.

"Let's go hunting!"

The tactical squad quickly boarded the off-road vehicles and sped towards the platoon led by Chen Guotao. This time, they didn't plan to ambush them; they would take them out in one fell swoop to avoid any unexpected events that would make their trip a waste.
