"Hey! Hey! What are you doing?" the Captain exclaimed in panic.
"What do you think? I need your clothes for disguise!"
"No way, no way! You can't take off my clothes!"
"You’re dead! You can’t do anything about it! Don’t look back; the Observers are watching, and they’ll capture your face!" I threatened.
The Captain covered his face in pain and helplessness, leaning against the front of the vehicle while I stripped off his camouflage. Hey, being a Captain is actually quite fun!
I handed over my own camouflage as Sun Guangyu to Daba, slipped into the Captain's uniform, and surprisingly, it fit quite well. This guy had a physique just like mine.
There should be an Officer ID in the pocket, right? I need to see who I'm pretending to be. I felt around and noticed something hard in the pocket. I reached in and pulled out a document.
"Red Army Military Exercise Live Report Three!" I read aloud. "What the hell! This is good stuff!"
Haha, this is exactly what I needed. With the enemy situation unclear, having this would give me a better understanding of what’s going on!
I quickly skimmed through it and realized that the Red Army had already broken through the Blue Army's reserve forces positioned between two rivers and was now searching for a crossing at the Great River. The Red Army Special Forces had infiltrated at ab Point, with one group having "destroyed" the Blue Army's anti-tank helicopter base, while the main armored forces of the Blue Army were still en route from a Point to their destination. The Red Army Command Center convoy had landed and was preparing to follow the assault troops to find a suitable location for their command post. They urged the incoming Control Group vehicles to speed up and catch up.
I was taken aback! Not because of our Aviation Troops' defeat, but because we were so close to the Red Army Command Center convoy! They were just ahead of the Control Group vehicles. If we had arrived just a bit earlier, we would have encountered them. I couldn't help but feel frustrated; it seemed that the battlefield was just like life—full of twists and turns. Being early or late could lead to entirely different outcomes! Now, the Red Army Amphibious Forces were making a full-scale infiltration towards our Blue Army Command Center, while another group of Blue Army forces was causing havoc behind them. It was truly a complex situation with enemies within enemies.
Just then, I heard a voice say, "Buddy, can you show me that report?" I looked up to see a Colonel at the front window of an Iveco vehicle. He had some gray hair but looked quite spirited with a square face, appearing to be around fifty years old. The Control Group was all in regular uniforms instead of camouflage to avoid friendly fire.
"Yes!" The Captain instinctively stood up and tried to snatch the report from my hands.
"Get away! You’re already dead! The Leader is calling for me!" I dodged aside and lightly kicked him. The Captain shot me a deadly glare; if it weren’t for my brothers standing around me, he might have lunged at me.
The Colonel chuckled, "Yes, that's you!"
Out of politeness, I stood at attention and saluted. "Sorry! Leader, you are a member of the Control Group; you’re practically invisible to us—we cannot intersect!"
"What kind of attitude is that, talking to Leader like this!?" A guard in the passenger seat was about to get out.
"Don't worry, don't get out of the car!" He stopped the people from On the Vehicle. "Hahaha, Buddy, you're great, but if it weren't for our Control Group, you wouldn't even be able to see this. And," he pointed at Captain beside him, "without us, you wouldn't be able to catch him either. Strictly speaking, he's delivering battle reports for the Control Group, so you should ignore him."
"This!" I was momentarily speechless, unable to find a reason to refute. It seemed true; without the Control Group, there would be no Captain coming here.
"How about this, Buddy, let's make a deal. You've seen it anyway; hand it over to me, and I won't mention this again. What do you think?" Colonel said with a smile.
"Deal!" I thought for a moment and answered decisively. I walked over and handed the battle report to him, then turned to leave.
"Buddy, wait a moment!"
"Huh?" I turned back to look at Colonel.
Colonel looked thoughtfully at my convoy and asked, "Isn't this the Blue Army accounting for all the remaining forces?"
I watched him warily. "I'm sorry, but even if you're from the Control Group, I can't disclose anything."
"Hahaha, very alert, interesting." Colonel shouted back, "Liu! Go with them and take a recorder. Remember, your mission is to observe and record; don't say too much!"
"Yes!" Someone inside responded, and soon someone jumped out of the car with equipment.
What is this? I was stunned in place.
"Buddy, according to regulations, the Control Group has the right to determine observation directions and battlefield forces. Now, I'm officially assigning an Observer to your team. You just continue doing your thing! No problem, right?!"
I thought about it and really had no reason to refuse. Well, whatever as long as it's not the Red Army! "Yes!" I replied with a salute.
Just as I was about to turn back to the car, Xuanhua pointed at Captain. "Are we bringing this guy along?"
"I won't take it anymore. Since it's a report on the battle, there's no point in bringing it along. It's best to load fewer Blue Army troops on the vehicle to reduce the burden. By the way, throw off all the Blue Army soldiers captured on the vehicle; with the Control Group here, they wouldn't shamelessly revive themselves, right? Hahaha!" I laughed.
"So you are the remaining Blue Army that the radio reported. There aren't many of you, huh? The Guard Battalion and Deputy Battalion Commander have taken the entire camp out looking for you. Let's see how long you can act so arrogantly," the Captain suddenly spoke with resentment.
"Hmm? Looks like we've been exposed," I murmured. "No need to worry; we will keep fighting!" I patted the Captain on the shoulder and casually pulled out his Officer ID to take a look. "Hmm, Headquarters Captain Staff Officer Zhang Dejiang! Haha, let's continue to use your identity to deceive them; one down is one less! Right! I'm heading to the dock position now to cut off your retreat. When the Blue Army counterattacks, let's see what you'll do!"
To confuse Zhang Dejiang and prevent him from leaking our whereabouts, I was doing this intentionally. Yes, I had already made up my mind to follow the enemy command! This was the only way to turn defeat into victory. As things stood, dragging it out might not bring reinforcements; we could only rely on ourselves!
Initially, I wanted to get rid of all the captives (of course, they were all disarmed and stripped of their uniforms), but I changed my mind. I gathered all the captives onto one vehicle and arranged for the Engineer Company's brothers to guard them. I ordered everyone through the intercom to head towards the Passage. After driving for a while, I stopped the vehicle and called down Deputy Commander Cai from the Engineer Company.
"Old Cai, sorry about this, but there's something I need you to do!" I looked into Cai Jun's eyes sincerely.
Cai Jun smiled and glanced towards the Passage; at this moment, the fog had started to clear up significantly. "Are you asking me to stay behind and lay mines to cover everyone?"
I nodded. "Exactly. You heard it; the Guard Battalion is searching for us with all their might. If you stay behind, you can confuse them about our movements and hold them back." There was something I didn't say: there probably weren't many mines left with the Engineer Company’s Mine Layer since they couldn't compete with trucks and tanks. Continuing to follow us would only delay everyone's progress. However, I didn't want to discourage Old Cai.
"I understand," Old Cai said. He pulled out a cigarette and offered it to me. I hesitated for a moment before accepting it. Old Cai took one for himself as well and lit it for me. "I thought this drill was just a formality; who knew we'd actually encounter such a good show? Brother, you're doing well in command; I'm impressed! We're all Engineers; you could use us as infantry! Alright! I'll go all out; after laying down mines, I'll rush towards the Passage Red Army Beachhead position and try my best to delay and create chaos!"
"Take that truck full of captives; they still have their uses." I didn't smoke often but took a puff and coughed several times, frowning.
"What do you mean?" Old Cai asked, somewhat confused.
"You and the captives can disguise yourselves as our entire force to attract attention from the Red Army's Guard Battalion. Listen carefully: put the truck with captives at the front and charge in so that the Red Army ends up shooting their own people."
"You really are something else!" Old Cai exclaimed in shock.
"Hehe, well, I hope I can be even worse at this point."
"Alright! I'll follow your lead, brother. I can't continue fighting alongside you, but I wish you success!" With that, Old Cai tossed away his cigarette and saluted me.
I stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Old Cai, I will do my best to turn the situation around!" I spoke earnestly.
Old Cai quickly departed with the Mine Layer and the truck carrying the captives, which vanished into the light mist. I adjusted the radio and organized the remaining three trucks: I would lead one, the Technical Deputy Commander would take another in the middle, and Old Tang would bring up the rear. The Beta tank was hidden behind my truck to handle any emergencies.
After Old Cai left, I opened the radio and called for everyone to listen to my combat mobilization.
I pressed the button on the radio and said solemnly, "Brothers! The situation is extremely urgent. Our Forces Command is facing the danger of being encircled. There is only one way out: we must catch up! We need to pursue the main force of the Red Army and take out their Command Center that is lagging behind! I know this is difficult and dangerous; there will certainly be brothers who get blocked by the Red Army along the way, but I know you won't be afraid! Just now, Cai Company Commander took the Engineer Company to the Passage; they are buying us more time! Their sacrifice is valuable! Now, it all depends on you. I ask everyone to trust me, follow me, and win this battle that concerns our company, our regiment, our military district! Does everyone have confidence?"
The radio quickly echoed with a chorus of shouts, "Sharp Blade Company! Sharp Blade Company! Invincible! Invincible! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
I nodded in satisfaction. "Everyone, let's move out!" As the convoy set off, I led all remaining personnel in a wide U-turn, heading boldly toward the direction of the Red Army Command Center.
The convoy sped across the fields; by this time, the sun had risen, and the mist was dissipating. A beam of sunlight streamed into the driver's cabin. I gazed at it dreamily; suddenly, I felt that this sunlight was like hope—if you persist and fight for it, you will eventually see the fog clear and daylight break.
Yes, there is still a chance! It’s not over yet! What I need to do is outrun time—accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again. I must annihilate the Red Army Command Center!
(To be continued; tomorrow will be even more exciting!)
