Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"Feint?"

Francis looked curious after hearing this.

“That’s right. With this kind of attack, they definitely won’t move the hostages out immediately. Remember, if the hostages don’t appear, we’ll really fight; once the hostages appear, we’ll respond flexibly according to their speed of movement.”

Lin Beichen knew that the key to this operation was to deplete the enemy's strength.

"You have to understand, the enemy can't directly replenish their combat personnel, but we can. So in the first battle, we shouldn't think about wiping them all out at once. Let's start fighting first and try to minimize our own casualties. Our main task is to deplete their manpower."

Upon hearing this, Francis immediately nodded in agreement. As expected of an excellent commander from China, his thinking was indeed clear.

Without further ado, they sprang into action. Lin Beichen quickly gathered Fallaci and his team.

"Listen up, everyone. Today is the first battle. The mission is simple: you must rescue the hostages within the allotted time to succeed. Don't think this is a drill; this is a real event. Everyone must protect themselves and minimize casualties."

As planned, the three teams arrived at the designated location. Fallaci, however, led his team around to the other side.

Once everything was ready, Francis immediately ordered an attack on the three military camps.

"Report! Something's wrong, they've attacked again!"

However, the leader remained calm.

"They've attacked more than once or twice, and they can't possibly find their real target anyway, so we just need to defend well."

Clearly, the leader was quite calm at first, but it wasn't long before he realized something was wrong. The attack method had changed, and the left flank camp was under heavy attack.

Left with no other option, the third brother quickly called the eldest brother for help.

"Big brother, please save me! I'm in big trouble! They've concentrated their forces to attack our area!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the older brother was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"Isn't this just asking for trouble? Don't they know that our defenses were specifically designed to counter them? If they want to compete with us, they should use their full strength!"

He then immediately ordered the other two armies to rush over and reinforce the area, with each unit required to bring one hostage.

"They're out!"

Lin Beichen immediately prepared himself, only to see a large, imposing force appear before him. The only thing he could do now was to cut them off and rescue them as quickly as possible.

"Luckily, my bulletproof sack came in handy."

This is the latest achievement of Lin Beichen's team. Everyone knows that the consequences of a major incident are unimaginable. But if the hostages are put into bulletproof sacks, the enemy will be helpless.

"Will this thing even work?"

Lin Beichen was still somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time. This is the result of our long-term training; surely we can't show it off now?"

Lin Beichen smiled after hearing this.

That's the kind of confidence I need!

Just then, the three teams quickly approached the center. They immediately took action, which startled the teams on both sides, who began to converge on them.

"Everyone, we need to be quick!"

Just then, with lightning speed, they quickly pulled the hostages out of the car, put them in sacks, and retreated.

However, they found that more and more enemies were closing in from both sides. Just then, Fallaci led his troops out and suddenly tore open a gap in the enemy lines.

The sudden rescue operation thus came to an end. The soldiers were all stunned and hurriedly gave chase, but they were no match for the speed of the special forces team. In the blink of an eye, the special forces members had vanished without a trace.

The dejected soldiers returned to their camp, much to the shock of their commander. He never imagined that the enemy would resort to such tactics to cover the retreat of just one person.

"Is this a case of running out of ideas, or a change in combat strategy? Under normal circumstances, such a cowardly tactic would not be used."

The boss felt there was definitely something fishy going on; someone must have tampered with things at a crucial moment.

Just as he expected, he found only a wounded man receiving treatment in the military camp, a sight that was truly unimaginable.

"This person might be the key to turning the tide for us," Fallaci thought to himself.

Lin Beichen had no time to think about these things. He went to the operations room alone and began working on the next step of the plan.

He sat in the operations room, constantly scribbling and drawing. "I just don't believe it. Do you really think I can't handle these troops? If that's the case, how am I supposed to accomplish anything great in the future? It's really frustrating."

However, things are far from that simple. All they can do now is race against time and act as quickly as possible.

This is the main problem we are currently facing.

Lin Beichen began to conduct in-depth analysis and research on the situation.

Not long after, the injured man gradually regained his strength and finally opened his eyes a few days later, but he was still very weak.

"Who are you?" he asked weakly.

Lin Beichen appeared in front of him and said, "Don't worry, we are from China. We rescued you from the enemy."

The man nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Thank you so much, but my colleague is still in their hands, and his fate is unknown."

"Don't worry, we've used the same method to save your colleagues as well, and they're currently receiving treatment in another ward."

Hearing this, the man nodded again. It seemed this was the best opportunity; if he didn't seize it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"However, we still hope you can help us solve the problem completely. You should know how powerful those people are. Compared to them, we are as insignificant as ants. We came to this place only to help the locals solve their electricity problem, but we didn't expect to be arrested by them."

This is what they are most worried about.

"They keep pressuring us to speak according to their demands, or to provide so-called intelligence. But we're just ordinary workers, how would we know any of this? Why are they making us do such meaningless things?"

Lin Beichen couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"There is no distinction between high and low, noble and base in this world. You should rest well first. If you have any clues, just tell me. I'm here today to help everyone solve this problem."

"Yes!" Upon hearing that it could solve the problem, the man immediately perked up.

“Let me tell you, if you unite and fight together, they will definitely find a way to unite. But the three brothers are not a united front. This so-called triangular defense was actually the second brother’s idea.” “What’s going on with the three brothers not getting along?” Lin Beichen seemed to have found a breakthrough.

"Sigh! At first, the three brothers all followed the eldest brother's lead, but later the eldest brother found a woman, and the other two brothers liked her. In the end, the three brothers broke up. However, they later decided to play together as a trio, but the other two brothers were always unwilling to have much contact with the eldest brother."

Lin Beichen listened and fell into deep thought.

"Can I understand it this way: if I lead the team to deal with the second-in-command now, the eldest-in-command might not even bother to help?"

"That's right!"

Lin Beichen began to think about it seriously.

If this is true, then they have found an excellent breakthrough, and perhaps they can actually solve the problem in the end.

However, another patient immediately realized and said, "What we're doing is definitely not enough. After all, we need the cooperation of the main force. Otherwise, if those main forces surround us, we will be helpless."

This is the most worrying issue right now. They've also realized the gap between themselves and others; only by trying can they know the outcome.

"Understood, let's do it this way for now."

Lin Beichen roughly understood the situation and immediately returned to the military camp to begin preparations.

“We’re going to take direct action against the second-in-command. We’ll take him down first, no matter what.”

"Is it true?"

They've been here for a few days now and have gained some understanding of the local situation, but it's still hard to say whether this so-called base can actually provide them with effective assistance.

"Actually, our mission is very simple. After all, we are just assisting. The real force to overthrow those people is the local army."

Based on the operational plan, they identified a relatively clear objective: to eliminate the second objective first, and then consider other issues.

However, Francis was deeply worried. In his view, based on the current information, Number Two was the strongest among the three.

According to their plan, if they could successfully block the enemy reinforcements, there would be no problem. The only fear was that in the end, they would have accomplished nothing.

As they were about to set off, Francis was still unsure, so he went to Lin Beichen and Fallaci to confirm the battle plan again.

“Listen to me, there’s a story in our country called ‘besieging Wei to rescue Zhao,’ so let’s follow that approach this time. If those two armies really appear around you, we’ll surround them immediately.”

This is indeed a good idea.

Hearing him say that, Francis felt much more at ease, thinking that as long as the operation went smoothly, everything would be fine.

Finally, the army set off in a grand procession. After everyone had completed their deployment, Francis immediately ordered an attack on Base Two.

The second son was taken aback by the sudden attack and hurriedly organized a defense. But he didn't expect that the enemy had brought almost all of their troops this time.

"Are they abandoning their positions altogether?" the second brother asked in astonishment.

Left with no other option, the second brother quickly messaged the eldest and third brothers for help.

Upon receiving the news, the eldest and third brothers immediately dispatched troops according to their own plans. However, unexpectedly, problems arose only an hour after the troops set out.

"Brothers, there aren't many defenders left. Let's charge in and take out all their outposts first."

Just then, the most intense firepower appeared, which greatly shocked the leader.

"A small force has appeared; it seems to be a special forces unit from the China region."

Upon hearing the words "special forces," the leader was even more shocked. He never expected that the main target of the enemy's all-out attack was this.

"Absolutely not. I know the strength of the special forces. They were once incredibly capable, overcoming countless obstacles. Bring them back immediately."

Left with no other option, the troops retreated halfway through their journey.

Meanwhile, the third brother also realized the problem. Now, what was originally thought to be a coordinated attack has turned into three armies fighting independently.

"What happened? Did they start fighting or not?"

"Second brother, there's nothing we can do. We can't fight them at all. They're having problems too. Two special forces units are attacking them, and they've already recalled their troops to protect themselves."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the second brother was immediately disheartened.

"Although my side is the strongest, we are definitely no match for them. They might have difficulty taking on the three of us one-on-one, but if they were to defeat us one by one, we would be no match for them at all."

The second brother knew he was now completely isolated and helpless. With no other option, he immediately donned his gear and led his men away from the position.

Meanwhile, the battle outside was raging fiercely. Although neither side had fully advanced, Francis, through his telescope, had already seen the enemy's inevitable demise.

He spotted the second brother on the position and exclaimed excitedly, "Great! This is the guy I'm going to take down!"

At that moment, Francis immediately ordered a charge.

Faced with a hail of bullets, the soldiers had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward.

Of course, this charge also resulted in heavy losses for them.

"We must carry forward the spirit of continuous combat. Think carefully about how the Chinese army fights; they support us in small groups, so we cannot back down."

The other two armies had less than half an hour to go before returning, and they were also anxiously awaiting the final news.

"Anyway, as soon as we see them appear, we retreat immediately. Once they leave, we charge back in. If they don't come back, we'll just storm in and capture the eldest and third brothers alive."

Sure enough, half an hour passed. Just as the battle in the second-in-command's territory reached its climax, the battle here also officially began.

"Listen to me, everyone, retreat to the designated objective immediately."

Well, that's it. The troops that finally arrived were left empty-handed.

"What kind of army is this? They run away as soon as they see us. Are they all spineless? I can't believe that such a group of people could fight us to the end. It's unbelievable."

Faced with this situation, everyone knows what will happen next. Now, perhaps only their own relentless efforts can save them.

Lin Beichen remained hidden in a corner, waiting quietly. Just then, as the troops were preparing to enter the forest, they received orders to proceed to the front lines.

Another hour passed.

"Brothers, let's keep going." The leader looked helpless. Why again? (End of Chapter)
