He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

In the brigade command post, upon hearing the attack request message relayed by Airborne One, the political commissar, the brigade commander, and the staff were all completely dumbfounded.

What the hell?
Was I just hallucinating?
The armed helicopter was blocked by sparrows!
As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

After a moment of silence, Lan Zhiguang immediately gave the order: "Connect me to video communication."

A moment later, the video call connected, and five communication screens from five helicopters appeared on the command center's large screen, all facing the miserable faces of the pilots.

The camera immediately flipped, and the five split-screen views were instantly filled with a dense swarm of sparrows.

Lan Zhiguang was stunned: "Wow, they really are sparrows? And there are such a huge number of them. Sparrows are the mortal enemies of airplanes in the air, so the armed helicopters certainly dare not make any rash moves."

As the army of sparrows flapped and tumbled up and down on the screen, the brigade command fell into an eerie silence.

"What...what should I do?"

"The helicopter is not equipped with a sonic deterrent, so we can only use firepower to drive it away."

"Isn't it wrong to indiscriminately harm living beings?"

"Then what better way do you have?"

The General Staff was engulfed in heated discussion.

Chen Yuanli asked hesitantly, "Issue the attack order?"

Lan Zhiguang shook his head firmly, completely rejecting the suggestion: "No way. All the military newspaper reporters are watching this exercise closely. If we damage the local ecological environment, we'll both get a severe scolding from the deputy commander."

Chen Yuanli nodded helplessly: "That's true. After all, an exercise is not a real war, and it's not advisable to kill too many people."

"Give orders to Air Force 1 to reject their attack request, order them to look for an opportunity to land, and have Niu Nuli lead a team into the woods to search!"

"I refuse to believe that with so many people, we can't catch them?"

Meanwhile, on the other hand.

Upon receiving the latest instructions from the brigade command, Air Force 1 immediately replied: "Air Force 1 has received! Looking for opportunities!"

The walkie-talkie was a broadcast type, so Niu Nuli and Zhang Nengliang could hear the brigade headquarters' orders clearly.

Niu Nuli cocked his Type 95 assault rifle with a click, glanced at Zhang Nengliang, and said, "Get ready for battle."

The thought of facing Zhang Beixing head-on made Zhang Nengliang nervous. He swallowed hard and nodded emphatically.

Niu pulled his gaze away and began to call out to the crew members: "Attention all crews, helicopters prepare for airborne landing. Everyone listen to my command and be ready to attack at any time!"

"clear!!!"

……

In the dense forest, the entire Red Blood Cell team was running rapidly, searching for a secret opportunity to break out.

Sensing the unusual activity in the air, Zhang Beixing stopped in his tracks.

He raised his head, squinted slightly, and looked out into the sky through the dense forest.

Five armed helicopters began to slowly descend and circle in mid-air. Zhang Beixing, who had studied helicopter piloting in his spare time, immediately saw through the clues.

They are trying to find an opportunity to land!
The flock of birds restricted their rappelling ropes, and it seemed that Niu Nuli wanted to land on the ground and lead people into the forest to find them.

Gazing at the black, steel beast in the sky, Zhang Beixing had a sudden inspiration.

Want to land? Fine, your wish will be granted!

Upon thinking of this, Zhang Beixing brought his fingers to his lips and let out another long howl. He immediately issued a new order to the Warbirds unit—to coordinate with the helicopter landing!

The sound waves reached the birds' brains, and the sparrows in the sky began to consciously avoid them, leaving enough space for the helicopter to descend.

The pilots, who were already overwhelmed by the sparrows, were delighted to see this and, without thinking twice, quickly seized the opportunity to maneuver the helicopter to slowly descend to the ground.

Zhang Beixing stopped and watched as the Z-10 attack helicopter in the sky gradually descended and eventually disappeared from sight.

He pointed forward and said, "Our target is due south. Let's go steal one of their helicopters and have some fun."

Upon hearing this, Song Kaifei was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with a smile: "Wow, Captain, your decision is brilliant!"

Tears of excitement streamed down Song Kaifei's smug face: "Finally, I, a top-class pilot, have a chance to prove myself!"

……

The dense forests made it difficult for helicopters to find a large open space to land, forcing them to disperse.

On a high ground near the dense forest, a WZ-10 attack helicopter skimmed low over the treetops and landed smoothly on the rocky ground without any incident.

The hatch opened, and Niu Nuli, holding a Type 95 rifle, jumped out.

Zhang Nengliang followed closely behind: "Squad leader, not to encourage others, but Zhang Beixing's skills are really amazing. Can the two of us handle it?"

Niu Nuli chuckled at him: "Now you remember me? You never seem to think about me much normally. Let me tell you, go back and change your self-centered attitude!"

After saying that, Niu Nuli added confidently, "Don't worry, I've already contacted the other soldiers. And although my title of 'King of Soldiers' was given to me by the veterans, do you think it's just a title given to me for nothing?"

Hearing Niu Nuli's words, Zhang Nengliang felt much more at ease, and his fighting spirit was ignited: "Then I'm relieved. Hmph, Zhang Beixing, you just wait, I will definitely defeat you with my own hands!"

In the lush forest, with its dense wild grass, there are plenty of good spots to hide.

Two figures darted swiftly through the forest, one after the other, the crisp sound of branches snapping underfoot echoing across the ground, emphasizing the deep stillness of the woods.

"I can't go on anymore, I can't run anymore," Zhang Nengliang said, panting. "We haven't seen a trace of them along the way, what are we chasing?"

Niu Nuli glanced back at Zhang Nengliang, who was panting heavily, and gradually slowed down.

He pointed to the ground not far away and said casually, "There are traces of creatures on the road around here, and they even deliberately covered the traces with fallen leaves. Wild animals don't have this habit."

"You mean, they just ran past here?"

Zhang Nengliang said hesitantly, "But there have been traces on the ground ever since we entered the forest. Could they have been nearby all along?"

Hearing this, Niu Nuli was also a little unsure.

Although Zhang Nengliang has always been a troublemaker, it is undeniable that he is very smart and quick-witted.

Niu tried to get his thoughts: "So what do you mean? Are they deliberately going in circles?"

"do not know."

Zhang Nengliang couldn't figure out the other party's intentions either, and just shook his head with a solemn expression, "Anyway, I always feel like there's a conspiracy."

"By the way, where is everyone else? They haven't come to join us yet after so long, isn't that a bit strange?"

From the moment he discovered the first clue, Niu Nuli immediately went all out to track down the suspects, and he had no time to think about these things in detail.

Upon hearing Zhang Nengliang mention other people, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Something is definitely not right. The other people haven't contacted us for a long time."

As he spoke, Niu reached into his earpiece and called out, "This is Tank One, this is Tank One, please respond if you hear me."

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound in the headset.

Niu Nuli gasped and muttered, "This is bad. I bet everyone except the two of us has been taken out."

"That's not right." Zhang Nengliang frowned in confusion. "Then what are we chasing?"

"Wang! Wang!"

As if in response to Zhang Nengliang's question, Caesar, who had been keeping the two of them on a whirlwind run through the forest, finally couldn't contain his loneliness and barked loudly twice.

Ordinary wild animals don't have the habit of hiding their tracks, but that doesn't mean military dogs don't. Hearing the two barks, Niu Nuli and Zhang Nengliang were both taken aback.

"Squad leader, have we been tricked by a dog?" Zhang Nengliang blurted out.

Niu Nuli nodded silently, his face looking rather grim.

At that moment, a bold guess suddenly popped into his mind.

Niu Nuli's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! This is a diversionary tactic; they're trying to steal the plane!"

What? Stealing a plane!
Zhang Nengliang was also taken aback by Niu Nuli's words.

Recalling the scene of the Flying Birds Fighting Group surrounding the helicopter, he felt that Zhang Beixing was definitely capable of stealing the plane!

Before the words even landed, Niu Nuli turned and ran like the wind toward the direction where the helicopter was landing.

……

Just as Niu Nuli had predicted, Zhang Beixing led Xu Tianlong and Song Kaifei to quietly approach the helicopter as soon as the two entered the dense forest.

As for He Chenguang, Zhang Beixing assigned him other tasks.

Wearing a ghillie suit, He Chenguang disappeared into the woods and became one with nature.

He wielded an 85 sniper rifle with the agility of a fish swimming in the sea, picking off the pursuers one by one.

While Caesar was struggling to run around with the bull, he had already wiped out the entire Ninth Brigade of pursuers.

On the high-altitude rocky terrain, the helicopter pilot lazily yawned.

Zhang Beixing, like a nimble black cat, left the two behind to wait for orders, and then he moved swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they darted to the helicopter's cabin door.

He glanced inside silently and saw that the driver looked listless, apparently having been on standby all night for the exercise and hadn't slept well, completely unaware of his approach.

Zhang Beixing let out a soft breath and squatted down to open his notebook.

With swift and skillful hands, he used hacking techniques to directly breach the helicopter's control panel.

Zhang Beixing took a deep breath, pressed the Enter key, and slowly opened the cabin door.

Upon hearing the sound of the hatch lock opening, the pilot paused for a moment and quickly turned his head to look.

He was met with a powerful punch from Zhang Beixing, which knocked him unconscious.

Zhang Beixing waved to the two people who were hiding in the woods waiting for their orders. As soon as Song Kai saw the plane in his hand, he ran away as fast as he could, as if a kitten was scratching at his palm.

rub rub!
In the blink of an eye, they jumped into the helicopter cockpit.

The original driver of the Ninth Brigade was dragged out by Xu Tianlong and thrown onto a nearby rock where he fell fast asleep.

Song Kaifei excitedly sat down in the driver's seat and rubbed his hands together with great enthusiasm.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the helicopters of this armored force are really well-made, much better than our old relics from the Wolf Fang unit."

Song Kaifei lovingly explored the familiar control panel, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Wow, it's been so long since I've touched a plane, this feels great! Captain, which way are we flying?"

Zhang Beixing glanced at him: "Are you sure it will happen?"

Song Kaifei pouted, his face showing a resentful expression that seemed to say, "You're looking down on me, Fat Tiger."

He stretched his neck and emphasized, "You left out the last question mark. I'm a top-class pilot. Do you think this is a joke? I guarantee I can fly faster than a bullet!"

"Then shut up." Zhang Beixing nodded and gave the order, "Prepare for takeoff."

Hmph, fine, shut up.

Song Kaifei turned his head away arrogantly.

Song Kaifei, who had been struggling ever since the arrival of the red blood cell company, finally had a chance to show off, and he spared no effort in doing so.

Song Kaifei skillfully pressed the buttons on the controller in front of him, his movements swift and decisive.

Once everything was ready, he turned to the two men and grinned maliciously, "Hold on tight, huh? Don't throw up on the plane!"

Before he could finish speaking, Song Kaifei suddenly jerked the control lever up!

The helicopter's rotors spun at high speed, leaving several afterimages in the air, and the helicopter immediately took off.

Just then, a figure rushed out of the jungle.

It was Niu Nuli who reacted and came back to help!

Zhang Nengliang followed behind him, panting heavily, exhausted, but he didn't fall behind.

The two stared wide-eyed as the helicopter slowly took off in the distance.

Zhang Nengliang couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap! This bastard Zhang Beixing is really trying to steal the plane?"

His exclamation was drowned out by the hurricane created by the fighter jet.

Upon seeing this, Niu Nuli instinctively raised his gun and fired, trying to stop them.

"Bang bang bang bang...!"

A burst of bullets whistled towards the helicopter.

The helicopter suddenly increased its altitude and took off rapidly.

Song Kaifei demonstrated his skill by making a clever turn at a tricky angle, swiftly dodging the bullet.

Then, the helicopter suddenly accelerated and sped into the sky.

Niu Nuli looked up at the sky, sighed, and helplessly lowered the muzzle of his gun.

Zhang Nengliang asked anxiously, "Are we just going to let them go like that?"

"Otherwise what?" Niu Nuli said irritably, "I don't have an RPG, so I can't do anything about them."

Niu Nuli watched the departing helicopter and sighed deeply: "I'd better contact the brigade headquarters quickly. The cooked duck has flown away. Alas, my promotion this year is probably in jeopardy again."

Above the blue sky, a gentle breeze blows, and white clouds drift lazily by.

A fully armed helicopter, loaded with firepower, sped down from the clouds, circling and roaring.

The helicopter's rotors whirred and hummed, the cabin shuddering so violently that anyone inside had to shout in a hoarse voice to speak.

Pilot Song Kaifei was already used to the deafening vibrations and calmly piloted the helicopter. After climbing higher and leaving the forest, he turned to Zhang Beixing and shouted, "Captain, should we go pick up He Chenguang and Caesar now?"

Hearing his shout, Zhang Beixing glanced down at his watch.

The current time is 2:31.

There was less than half an hour left before the exercise ended.

So Zhang Beixing waved his hand and shouted back, "No need, the exercise is about to end, let the two of them stay and keep each other company, and let Niu Nuli and the others have some fun."

"Okay, then I'll fly straight to the Ninth Brigade headquarters!" (End of Chapter)
