Chapter 5: The Hostage Crisis

"5 minutes and 20 seconds! One person was wounded, the enemy was completely destroyed, and not a single hostage was killed or wounded! ”

Outside a virtual real-life training ground in the Capital Military District, the bayonet looked at the results displayed on the big screen. This result was nearly a minute faster than the record he and the Alpha Team had ever set.

A team of sturdy men dressed in urban camouflage walked out of the simulated training building, among which the leader was a square-faced man with a more fierce temperament, the person knew with a bayonet, his name was Zhang Hao, the captain of the 3rd Squadron of the Eagle Brigade, the 3rd Squadron specializes in urban special operations and CQB indoor warfare, and is the leader of domestic urban special operations.

As he passed by the strategic special services team, he glanced defiantly at the bayonet. "Do you want to go down and try it? If you don't have the guts, next month you Secret Service team will walk around the basketball court! ”

"Come on, when I'm afraid of you." The bayonet pouted. The other three squads of the special service team have all gone out on missions, the Halo team went to Africa, the Bloodtooth and Bone Sickle teams are in South America, and now only their own alpha team in the base is in the declassified observation period, and they can't go anywhere, so they can only stay in the base to abuse vegetables, which makes the bayonet hold a fire in his heart.

"Alpha, start dressing!"

With the bayonet order, he and the members of the Alpha Team ran to the equipment area and began to put on the special equipment for AR exercises. After a while, the Alpha team was waiting in the departure area in full gear.

"Alpha Squad! Tell them who we are?! The bayonet turned and shouted to his team.

"We are the blades of the shadows, we are the scythes of death! Phew! ”

"Tell me, do you have faith!"

"Yes!"

"Take a break! Check your gear and get ready for battle! ”

The strategic special service group is a newly formed force enforcement unit directly under the intelligence department that was drawn from elite special forces and executive agents of intelligence departments throughout the country last year, and there are four special operations teams under it, as well as a number of executive agents of the intelligence department; because of the special nature of their tasks, the higher authorities did not let them work together in the intelligence department, and that would instead reduce the combat effectiveness of the special service group, so they put the station next to the "Eagle Brigade," the ace special force of the Capital Military Region, and in order to cover people's eyes, they also hung up on the Eagle Brigade, declared on the outside as the fifth squadron of the Eagle Brigade.

Both teams are the king of soldiers, so naturally no one obeys anyone, and it is inevitable that there will be some disputes because of various things. However, there is naturally a solution in the troops. Under normal circumstances, whether it is shooting, fighting, or real-life exercises, the strategic special service group presses the Eagle Brigade to the ground to fight.

However, the Eagle Brigade is also a group of good men, losing brightly, going back to sum up lessons and lessons, taking the initiative to practice, coming back to fight again, and the gap with several squads of the strategic special service group is gradually narrowing, from losing more and winning less to gradually becoming a contact. No, this time, the boys of the third squadron of the Eagle Brigade have practiced for a long time, and they have given the Alpha team a surprise in the battle for next month's basketball court.

Anyway, the commanders of the two armies controlled the scale and rhythm of the clashes so well, and the superiors of the troops were happy to see this virtuous circle, so they turned a blind eye to these small contradictions between the Eagle Brigade and the Strategic Special Service Group, and were happy to see them come to fruition.

"Ready!" The starter of the shooting range raised a small red flag. The members of the Alpha Team immediately bent down to hold their guns, and their muscles tensed up like leopards that had found their prey.

"Wait!" The sturdy man named Zhang Hao just now suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the starter. "It's not fair."

The bayonet stood up, stood in front of the squadron leader of the Eagle Brigade and said, "How is it unfair? Are you afraid? ”

Zhang Hao looked directly into the eyes of the bayonet, "Your alpha is one less than us just now, which means that we can have one more assault team than you." I'll let you guys 30 seconds. ”

"Shh On the battlefield, no enemy will be fair to you! ”

"It's okay, if he wants to be fair, we will give him fairness and let him lose his heart." Gu Zhenyang walked in from the gate and stood beside the bayonet. "Count me in, give me a place as an assaulter."

"Crows? Didn't you go for a report? When the bayonet saw that it was Gu Zhenyang, he was also secretly happy. If he's there, this time it's a win. In the strategic special service group, no one was convinced by the bayonet, until he saw this executive agent named Raven, and he didn't know how to forget the espionage skills, but whether it was fighting, grappling, battlefield interrogation, various firearms competitions and combat skills, he was convinced, especially the battlefield interrogation, and the bayonet trembled when he thought about it now.

Gu Zhenyang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said with a helpless expression, "That thing has already been handed in, and the combat part is only a few minutes in total, and the incubation time is only half an hour, what do I have to say, the same question has been asked over and over for so many days, and the virtual animation scene has reappeared, and I will die if I don't open it again." Come on bayonet, give me an assault position, and let's teach those rookies what it means to be a combat elite. ”

While Gu Zhenyang was putting on his equipment, Staff Officer Chen of the special service group ran over out of breath, "Crow! So you're here! I'm looking for you everywhere, so go and come back with me. After speaking, he couldn't help but want to pull Gu Zhenyang away.

As he was turning, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Alpha team preparing for action, so he shouted towards the departure area again, "Great, bayonet, you guys are here too?" Alpha Team, come with me! ”

"Isn't it! Let's go too? The bayonet opened his mouth wide, "Isn't our interrogation long over?" I don't know that dozens of reports have been handed in. ”

Gu Zhenyang looked helpless, and repeatedly said, "I said Staff Officer Chen, you can spare me." Just one question, you've asked me more than a hundred times. If you are doing well today, you should not see me. Just once! ”

"Oops, it's not that, something happened! Just come with me! As soon as Staff Officer Chen grabbed Gu Zhenyang's sleeve and was about to drag.

"I have a drill here, can I give me five minutes?" Gu Zhenyang was relieved to see that he really didn't pull him to ask him again, but even if it was a mission, it would not be bad for a while, their special service team would generally go out on a foreign mission, and in 5 minutes, the pilot would come out of the province by pushing the throttle valve of the plane in the air.

"Five minutes? Well, I'll give you 5 minutes. When the time comes, you all come with me. Staff Officer Chen looked at his watch and calculated the time in his heart, well, there is still some time. So he loosened Gu Zhenyang's sleeve.

Gu Zhenyang put on the equipment, because it was a CQB indoor operation, Gu Zhenyang's main weapon was a short and lightweight Mp5, and two Steyr M40-A1 pistols were inserted as secondary weapons in the quick-draw holster on the outside of his thigh, and the ammunition capacity of 12 rounds was enough to deal with most emergencies. 4 grenades hung on the chest, two flashing shock grenades, two offensive grenades.

Everything was ready to stop, Gu Zhenyang strode towards Zhang Hao's side. "Mouse, haven't you always wanted to see the true strength of our special service team?"

"Of course, you can use any weapon and any way of fighting!" Zhang Hao clasped his hands to his chest, and he had already looked at these people in the strategic special service group mysteriously every day. Every time the secret service team goes on a mission, his heart is like a cat scratching. Why! With everything being a trump card, the group of people in the strategic special service team continued to carry out tasks, and their brothers could only hide in the base and train every day.

"Forget it, that's too bullying." Gu Zhenyang thought about it and rejected Zhang Hao's proposal, if he used a miniature radar locator, full stealth camouflage, a miniature infrasonic generator, a magnetic weapon scanning device and other weapons that are still experimental at present, even if he bullied people or not, there would definitely be no such things in the AR exercise system.

Ignoring Zhang Hao, who was a little crazy behind him, Gu Zhenyang turned around and walked to the starting position. Knocked on the throat of the microphone

"Try the microphone, is Hawkeye in place?!"

"Hawkeye is in place and ready to go."

"Bayonet! I now exercise command of the battlefield! ”

"No problem, the command is yours now!"

"All of them, I'm authorized! Use lethal force! ”

"Hawkeye understands."

"Bayonet received."

"Guitarist received."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"So...... Hawkeye and I were free men, and the rest were split into three two-man assault groups. Three-dimensional attack mode! Then Gu Zhenyang picked up the rifle used in the exercise, nodded to the starter, and signaled that it was time to start. This kind of elite team selected from the best of the best does not need the commander to talk nonsense. Gu Zhenyang only needs to decide on an offensive mode, and the Alpha team can naturally do its best according to this model.

"Action!"

With Gu Zhenyang's order, the alpha team was divided into 3 groups, and the two groups quickly pounced on the left and right sides of the exercise building, and the bayonet and the guitarist rushed to the roof with three or two blows. Gu Zhenyang ran to the main entrance and turned around to look behind, the reflection of the sniper scope in the distance flashed, and the sharp eyes of the eagle eye followed the crosshair to monitor the battlefield.

"One group in place!"

"Two groups in place!"

"The roof assault team is in place!"

"I'm Hawkeye, monitoring the battlefield."

"Assault!" Saying that, Gu Zhenyang kicked open the front door.

There are two enemies in the doorway, one hiding behind a table in the hall and one hiding around the corner. Gu Zhenyang didn't even want to raise his hand to shoot two shots, watching the virtual enemy fall to the ground, Gu Zhenyang felt that this kind of exercise was not interesting at all.

A door suddenly opened, and several enemies poured out. But Gu Zhenyang's reaction was extremely fast, as soon as he saw the door lock twisting, he had already taken off a grenade and threw it over, and before the group of virtual enemies could shoot, they watched a grenade roll under their feet.

β€œFire in the hole!” Gu Zhenyang nodded, reciting the game lines in his mouth and expressing his satisfaction with the result, no matter how high the enemy AI of this kind of real-life simulation is, it is just an AI after all. Speaking of reactions, there are still some rigidities and formulas. For ordinary masters, this is enough, but for top fighters like Gu Zhenyang and Alpha, it still lacks a bit of meaning.

It wasn't long before two other assault groups, which had entered through the side windows of the building, also trotted over.

"The first floor is cleared." Seeing that the two assault teams nodded to him to signal safety, Gu Zhenyang knocked on the microphone.

"The 3rd floor is safe!" There was a sound in the headphones, there were only two bayonets and guitarists, and the speed was not much slower than below, it seemed that this time the bayonet was really serious.

After cleaning all the way to the second floor, I came to the door of the conference room in the middle of the second floor, and this is where the hostages are located this time.

"Enemy situation report, three hostages are kneeling on the left, the enemy is 5 on the left and 3 on the right, and the one in the middle is mine!" Hawkeye's voice came out of the headphones.

The bayonet pasted several pieces of explosives on the wall in turn, and two team members on the other side completed the preparation for the blasting of the gate. Gu Zhenyang put down the Mp5, took out a Steyr pistol, stood by the door with a flash shock bomb in his left hand and said, "3 seconds blast ready!" ”

With a muffled sound of bricks splashing, Gu Zhenyang threw the flashbang in his hand with a wave of his left hand, and when he heard the first explosion, he and the bayonet rushed in left and right.

There are many enemies set up in the house, but if you want to talk about the hit rate of the fast gun, so far, Gu Zhenyang has not been afraid of anyone. Compared to sniping, he can't compare to Hawkeye, and with heavy gravity firepower, he can't compare to the vampire, the captain of the Bloodfang squad. But than a quick shot from close range, he hadn't seen anyone stronger than him until now.

This is not a show-like shooting with sensitive primers and lightly charged revolvers, but real ammunition in service with live ammunition in various countries against unknown targets, from entry, search to discovery to the speed at which the gun is fired.

After Gu Zhenyang rushed in, he held the gun in his right hand in one hand, and the Steyr pistol in his hand shot the first bullet while running, and at the same time, his left hand had already pulled out the pistol on his left, and the second bullet was fired from his left hand from the action of lifting the gun.

Five gunshots rang out in a row, as if he had fired only one shot in a semi-enclosed indoor environment.

It wasn't until Gu Zhenyang's side that the 5 virtual enemies fell that the bayonet solved the second person on the right, and when the muzzle of the bayonet was just aimed at the third enemy, he saw an arm wheel coming over from the corner of his eye, just hitting his nose, and then the gun in Gu Zhenyang's hand rang out, and the last enemy fell to the ground. The Alpha squad members in the back also rushed in, but there was no enemy who could solve them anymore.

"You're revenge! I knew it! The bayonet covered his nose, which had just been badly hit, and jumped to his feet and scolded.

"Ha, when you slapped me so well, you should have thought that there would be this day!" Gu Zhenyang laughed out loud as he looked at the deflated bayonet. Then he patted the bayonet on the shoulder, "Let's go, I don't need much effort, this time we're both clear." ”

Outside the exercise area, the timer on the big screen stopped at 4 minutes and 11 seconds, and the special service team also returned the original surprise to Zhang Hao of the 3rd Squadron. On the big screen, I saw that the expression of this sturdy Shandong man fell, and the next moment his expression returned to his original seriousness.

"What are you doing here? Waiting to be ashamed? Get back! Each of the participants in the exercise wrote an operational report and handed it in. At night, there was a discussion meeting at the squadron headquarters, and Lao Tzu didn't believe it! With a wave of Zhang Hao's hand, the people in the Eagle Brigade were all gone.

On the way back, Gu Zhenyang deliberately took two steps slower, and walked side by side with Staff Officer Chen, "I said Staff Officer Chen, what is the matter?" If it's still like that, don't bring it back to me, it's hurting to make a report these days. ”

Staff Officer Chen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. But it shouldn't be that. But X was angry, very, very angry, and came to me and told you to hurry up. If that's the case, just catch you. ”

When I got to X's office, I saw X gritting his teeth at the computer screen. Seeing Gu Zhenyang and the bayonet, they pushed the door in, X stood up and said, "It's just right, you guys come and see." ”

As he spoke, X reached out and drew the progress bar to the front. The screen is constantly switching between bloody and brutal pictures. Heads were stuck in the fence for the amusement of those people, and children who were still in elementary school were shot and slaughtered, countless corpses, blood all over the ground.

The group of people present at this scene felt chills in their hearts, they couldn't imagine how cold and ruthless it was for such a ruthless person to be so cruel to civilians and prisoners, it was a group of devils!

The slides were very short, and when the show was over, X looked at the person in front of him with a blank face and said, "After reading it, what do you think?" Tell me about it! ”

"The crowd...... Those people are a bunch of devils! A bunch of bastards! I want to send them all to hell! The guitarist slammed his fist on the table, making a thud.

The bayonet gritted his teeth and said word by word, "If there is a chance, I will make them regret appearing in this world." ”

"Give me orders, chief." Gu Zhenyang clenched his fists, he knew that X would not let them see these things for no reason, and Gu Zhenyang knew about this organization. There was a sign in the picture that flashed just now, although the picture switched quickly, but Gu Zhenyang saw it at a glance, it was the symbol of OAOA, an extreme terrorist organization, and believed in an evil god named Asty Mors. In previous missions, Gu Zhenyang had fought with them several times. Although they were still very unprofessional, their fanatical religious beliefs always made them fearless warriors of death. Gu Zhenyang's evaluation of them was that they were ignorant rookies, but they were very difficult enemies.

"Gentlemen, I know your feelings, and I have a bad news and good news for you. I'll start with the good news, and the good news is that you'll soon have a chance to deal with these bastards. As for the bad news...... "X said, opening a video file.

I saw a terrorist wearing a black hood appear on the screen, and I saw him press an Asian man wearing an orange prison coat and holding a passport of country C. Demanded a ransom of 30 million eagle dollars in English with a Central Asian accent, demanded that it be paid within half a month, and demanded that the government of country C recognize the legitimacy of the government of the earthly kingdom of God they had established, otherwise the hostages would be executed.

X waved his hand to turn off the video and said, "Gentlemen, this is your mission!" A rescue operation behind enemy lines, it should be noted that this is an unrecognized mission, and you know what to do if you are captured. Due to the special local environment, the intelligence is very scarce, and there is no battlefield monitoring and no air support in this mission. The only thing you can rely on is yourself, and if you die in this mission, the government will not recognize your identity. All I can do is nail another five-pointed star to the wall for you. There is still a chance to quit now, and the choice is yours. ”

As soon as X's voice fell, Gu Zhenyang calmly said, "I'll go!" I will bring him back safely. ”

The guitarist's hand on the table creaked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go too!" I said, I'm going to send these bastards to hell with my own hands! ”

The bayonet straightened up, turned to X and gave a military salute, "Needless to say, sir." The entire Alpha Team of the Strategic Task Force reports to you, please instruct! ”

"Good." X clapped his hands, and Staff Officer Chen, who had just gone out, pushed open the door with a large stack of document bags and walked in, distributing the documents to Gu Zhenyang and the people of the Alpha team. Gu Zhenyang took it in his hand and looked at it, only to see that the document bag was printed with "top secret" and "destroyed after reading" in red font

X tapped his fingers on the document bag in front of him, and saw that everyone was looking at him, "Remember! Our Motherland has never abandoned its citizens when they are in danger, never before, and not now! Your planes are now on standby, now give you an hour to go back and sort out your personal affairs and make a list of equipment, and the strategic special service team is ready for battle! Bring our people back to me! ”
