Strongest Soldier King

Hot-blooded soldiers are excited by the prospect of battle. Upon hearing about a mission, Luo Zheng's spirit immediately lifted. Having recuperated at the base for over half a month, his body had basically returned to form after nearly being sacrificed due to Tang Tian's schemes. Hearing about a possible appearance of Charlie only fueled his anger. Had it not been for the Sam Country spies assisting, how could Tang Tian have been so brazen in Beijing? He excitedly asked, "What's the exact situation?"

"Let's go. Head back to the operations analysis room and bring them all together," Lan Xue said.

"Yes." Luo Zheng promptly agreed, carrying the ancient chrysanthemum Japan knife that had been renamed Dragon Tooth. Wiping sweat from his forehead, he followed Lan Xue to the outdoor training grounds, called over the three training Ghost Hand members, and everyone headed to the operations analysis room.

The room wasn't big, used for small team meetings, analysis, and discussions. The room was filled with various electronic warfare equipment. Lan Xue opened the projector, inserted a palm-sized disc, signaled everyone to sit down, turned off the lights, and everyone watched with curiosity.

Soon, images of the Northwest wilderness appeared on the screen. A convoy was heading towards the border, with Special Forces soldiers fully armed, on high alert. As they passed a strange bend in the mountains, two rockets suddenly flew out from the mountain slope ahead. They were RPGs that flipped over the two vehicles in front and back.

Shooting began from both sides of the cleft. The Special Forces soldiers on the vehicles reacted quickly, jumping out to take cover and return fire. However, the ambushers were even fiercer. Their firepower and shooting precision made it nearly impossible for the Special Forces to raise their heads. Soon after, two more RPGs flew over.

The Special Forces suffered heavy losses. Despite their fierce counterattack, the inadequate firepower and difficult terrain caused them to be wiped out within ten minutes. Before death, they detonated a transport vehicle in the middle. None survived, none surrendered. Soon, a group of people fully armed, wearing camouflage suits, rushed up, covering their bodies and heads completely, making them unrecognizable.

While clearing the battlefield, each Special Forces soldier received a final shot. A file bag was found in the vehicle, and the group hurriedly left, heading northwest, quickly vanishing in the wilderness.

"Damn it, who are they?" Ghost Hand, with a face ashen, looked at Lan Xue and asked. The others were also furious, eyes wide with anger, filled with a blazing fury. Those Special Forces soldiers wore the national uniforms, their identities clear. As military men, no one could remain calm watching comrades ambushed and killed.

"Their identities are unknown. The Intelligence Team speculates they are a Special Forces from Sam Country," Lan Xue explained, also with an ashen face, her eyes fixed on the final image on the screen. It showed nearly thirty fully armed people turning away. The enemy left calmly, a humiliation for Lan Xue as a soldier.

"Sam Country's army coming here for an ambush, that's war. These bastards, I won't let them go. Tell me, Captain, what's our mission?" Ghost Hand angrily demanded.

"Three days before the ambush, several assassination cases occurred in Beijing. The dead were all aviation researchers. You're aware of our cooperative fighter jet development project with neighboring countries, right? The victims were core technicians of this project. Based on joint analysis by the Intelligence Team and national security, it's inferred that these individuals were searching for a document, specifically the file bag you just saw," Lan Xue explained coldly.

"Damn, as expected, it's no good. Go on, Captain," Snow Leopard said angrily.

"The instigator of this assassination might be a special agent from Sam Country, with sharp methods, striking and retreating without leaving any clues. The Intelligence Team deduces from the enemy's style that Charlie might be commanding. Each individual has their own action style, and there's extensive analysis on Charlie in the Intelligence Team, amounting to the height of a person. Since the Intelligence Team is saying this, there's a high degree of certainty. Special agents from Sam Country are handled by others. Our task is to find and retrieve the file bag," Lan Xue said coldly.

"What's inside the file bag?" Luo Zheng suddenly asked.

"You all saw the vehicle our personnel detonated before death, right? Inside were the core research results samples of the fighter jet, set for testing with neighboring countries. The Northwest Military Region's Special Operations Team was responsible for escorting. From the ambush, it's apparent their escort plan has been exposed, likely obtained from the scientists assassinated by special agents. This is handled by others, and the file bag contains blueprints of samples, a top-secret in national aviation technology, and absolutely cannot fall into enemy hands," Lan Xue sternly said.

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, the mission now clear, full focus shifted to targeting.

With the mission confirmed, everyone habitually looked to Luo Zheng. It was now up to Luo Zheng to devise the tactical plan. Thinking it over, with scant intelligence and a chaotic mind, seeing everyone looking at him, he ruefully said, "The immediate task is to track down these individuals. Also, I noticed earlier that the ambushers' skills were quite good; their tactical qualities were exceptionally high. They should be a well-trained elite unit of about thirty people. Just us five may have trouble. Are there reinforcements?"

"There are currently only two reinforcements," Lan Xue replied.

"Reinforcements?" Everyone looked at Lan Xue in surprise. The team had always acted alone without reinforcements. This was unprecedented, fueling curiosity. Luo Zheng originally thought about mobilizing forces from other areas to assist. Hearing about reinforcements also piqued his interest as he looked at Lan Xue.

"Hong Meihua and Lan Xing are coming to assist, handling intelligence work and remote support. There are no combat troops. National Blade is already short-handed, needed everywhere, so there's no one to spare for assistance," Lan Xue explained.

"Is it possible to mobilize personnel from local units?" Luo Zheng asked.

"That might not be possible. Temporary assistance is conceivable, but full participation in the operation is not," Lan Xue said.

Luo Zheng understood this as a security rule to prevent leaks. Thinking it over, he said, "Looks like this will be a tough fight."

"Indeed, the Elite Soldier King team deals with this level of tasks. Previously, we were an Ordinary Soldier King team, with tasks relatively less challenging. Currently, a review is ongoing, with the preliminary review passed, just waiting for the final review. In practice, we are already being used as an Elite Soldier King team. Therefore, we must make this mission gloriously successful."

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, their eyes gleaming, their fighting spirit ignited.

Lan Xue looked at Luo Zheng, signaling him to say a few words. From a division of responsibilities, Luo Zheng needed to provide the tactical plan. In terms of position, Luo Zheng was the deputy captain. Saying some motivating words seemed appropriate. Surprised by the fact that there might be Charlie involved in this mission, Luo Zheng felt immense pressure. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knocking on the door. Everyone looked towards the door in surprise.
