Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 254 The Out-of-Position Motor
“Eight years, that’s not a short time,” Lei Keming sighed.

Before his deputy could react, what he heard next nearly made him despair.

"As a veteran special forces soldier who has served for 8 years, don't you know that special forces are not a branch of the military that relies on individual heroism?"
Of course, I do not deny the positive impact of having a highly skilled teammate in a tactical squad on the overall team.

But that's just icing on the cake, not a lifeline in times of need!

Lei Keming's tone was calm, and his deputy did not detect any accusation in it, but the deputy's face still showed a visible look of panic.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I was wrong!"

If Captain Lei dislikes Black Tiger, the consequences will be severe.

At best, they'll have to start over; at worst, they'll be reassigned to support staff.

If such an outcome were to fall into the hands of a scoundrel, it would be like a windfall.

But his deputy had already risen to the rank of major, and by continuing to stay by Lei Keming's side, his future remained bright.

If he were to switch to logistics, he would have no future.

Moreover, he was a highly motivated soldier who served as a deputy in special operations for eight years. How could he be willing to go to logistics?

"Did you find out what I told you before?"

Seeing that his deputy had admitted his mistake, Lei Keming stopped pressing the matter and had no intention of replacing him.

We've worked together for a long time, and I'm comfortable using him.

If we were to replace him with someone else, we would have to work on our temperaments. Right now, the entire army is at a critical juncture, and he doesn't have the time to deal with interpersonal relationships.

"I found out."

The deputy, who had been focusing all his attention on Lei Keming, immediately responded upon hearing the question.

God knows how anxious he was during those few short seconds.

The captain changed the subject, clearly indicating that he wasn't going to settle accounts with him.

"After extensive investigation and probing, along with some of my own speculations, I concluded that there was no one named Chang Ning among the captured Red Army special forces soldiers."

As he spoke, the deputy handed the investigation report he had prepared to Lei Keming.

"Captain, is there anything special about this soldier named Chang Ning?"

Having worked together for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen the battalion commander care so much about a soldier, so he was very curious.

Could this Chang Ning be a junior of some big shot?

The deputy wondered about Chang Ning's identity.

"You'll know when you see him."

Lei Keming kept his deputy in suspense and didn't tell him the answer directly.

"Of the three people who were missing, two now know."

Lei Keming picked up the water glass on the table and took a small sip.

Lao Gao escaped unscathed, but it's unknown whether his partner Ma Da was lucky.

Mada and Lao Gao are inseparable, as close as if they were wearing the same pair of pants.

With this in mind, Lei Keming felt it was necessary to confirm whether Mada was among the arrested individuals.

There might be a pleasant surprise.

"Go and check if there is a burly, slightly overweight soldier among the captured Red Army special forces soldiers, who is around thirty-four or thirty-five years old."

Lei Keming described the appearance of the motor to his deputy so that he could go out and confirm it.

"Yes!"

Remembering the captain's instructions, the deputy hurriedly turned and left the tent. This scene was witnessed by Captain Gao and Gray Wolf, who had already lurked outside the camp.

Black Tiger's camp was large, and many warriors were busily moving between the tents like ants.

Therefore, they did not include this information in their list of highlighted items, treating it as just an ordinary event.

“It would be difficult to confirm Lei Keming’s tent under these circumstances.”

Mada put down his binoculars and said to Captain Gao, "We're not here for a decapitation strike, why are we checking Lei Keming's tent?"

Gao Zhongdui rolled his eyes at Ma Da, a blade of grass he had casually plucked dangling from his mouth.

"I've gotten used to decapitation strikes, so I subconsciously look for the commander's location."

"Look at my memory, I forgot we came here to inflict effective damage."

Mada grinned sheepishly.

He only talked about effective killing; if we had to find a precise term, it would be "suicide attack".

He and the other two from the high school team came specifically to cause trouble for Lei Keming. They were thinking that if they could win one, they would make their money back, and if they could win two, they would make a profit.

"If you want to make things difficult for Black Tiger, you have to make sure you hurt them."

"How about we set fire to the entire camp?"

The motor offered its own suggestions.

"Great idea!" Gao Zhong praised Ma Da's idea.

“Right, I think so too,” Mada said.

"However, after the fire, we'll have to go through a military court."

Don't you even look at your surroundings? Pine trees grow in many places.

If the fire is lit, this whole forest will definitely catch fire as well.

The Black Tiger Special Forces will really be burned to death by us!

"There's no need to risk your life for a little exercise, Gray Wolf comrades."

The high school team leader said irritably, "I don't know what's wrong, but Mada seems to be sleepwalking."

The advice given was completely thoughtless; I don't usually do that.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Ma Da slapped away the hand that the high school team leader was about to touch his forehead and asked.

“We’ll infiltrate their camp,” the high school team leader said.

"What! How is this any different from suicide? Don't forget that the enemy is not an ordinary army. If we are discovered, we won't even have a chance to run away."

Mada was getting anxious; he disagreed with the high school team's idea, saying it was too risky.

"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished talking yet!"

The high school team was amused by Mada's antics, as their old partner was completely out of sorts throughout the game.

"After we infiltrate, let's not cause any trouble. We'll just set up some explosives and then slip away."

Upon hearing this, Mada immediately understood. What followed was their specialty, a tactic he and Gao Zhong had used once in a real combat mission.

The target at the time was the troops of the White Elephant Kingdom, and it seems that one of their commanders was killed in the bombing.

I can't go into specifics because it involves confidentiality regulations.

"Got it, we'll set up a minefield to lure Black Tiger's men into a trap."

Mada grinned mischievously and made an "OK" sign; he really wanted to see Lei Keming's face fall.

Ever since that guy avenged the chief of staff, his life has been like it's been on a cheat code, and it's not nearly as fun as when he was a performing arts soldier.

Team leader Gao and Ma Da were happy to do things that would make their old comrades suffer.

As for where the explosives came from? Need I say more? They were obtained from the soldiers of the Black Tiger Special Forces.

Hand grenades are also explosives, and they are just as effective as landmines.

After finalizing their battle plan in a few words, the two men, dressed in homemade ghillie suits, slowly approached Black Tiger's camp.

The closer they got to the camp, the greater the chance they would be discovered.

As a result, the high school team and Mada would often suddenly lie down on the ground and remain motionless during stealth operations, only continuing their actions after several tens of minutes.
