Chapter 43: The Laws of War

The 24 servicemen who were about to take part in this cross-border war sat upright in the multifunctional conference room of a certain Chinese naval base. In this multi-purpose conference room, they could already smell the slightly fishy smell of the sea, and hear the rustling sound of the waves washing over the battleship in the distance. Perhaps, the nuclear-powered submarine they will carry is quietly sinking in a certain position.

It was not Zhan Xia Ge who was giving the final strategic explanation to everyone, but Ling Yanshan, the most powerful assistant and chief of staff by his side. Those who are familiar with the Song of War Heroes clearly know the feelings of Song of War Heroes for the sea. He once crossed a vast sea area of dozens of kilometers with a group of sailors who escaped from a wrecked submarine in a certain corner of the sea. While the coastline was close and they were immediately able to enjoy the hard and safe land, all of them were stuck in the mud and could no longer break free.

In the next 20 hours, Zhan Xia Ge and his brothers experienced the most tragic and tragic battle in their lives...... They have become food in the eyes of dozens of crocodiles, and they can only use their fighting sabers, which are only more than twenty centimeters on their bodies, to fight against the powerful creatures of nature.

"Brother Sun Jing, brothers, I've come to see you."

In a whisper, a thick bottle of liquor was poured into the sea beneath his feet by the Song of War. A bottle of wine is a little too little for this vast and boundless sea, and its taste is a little too light. However, there is always a hint of the smell of spirits, which will continue to waft in this vast and boundless ocean, and finally float to the mouth of Brother Sun Jing who accompanied the submarine to sink all the way to the deepest darkness of the Pacific Ocean, right?

At this time, Brother Sun Jing and those sailors who were sleeping in the sea might stick out their tongues, smile and gently taste the gifts brought to them by the Song of War Heroes, right?

Throwing away the wine bottle in his hand, Zhan Xia Ge looked back at the location of the multi-functional conference room in this naval base, and at this time, there was only one sentence in his heart: "Brothers, you must come back, remember, go home!" ”

The 24 servicemen present will take a nuclear submarine with all the markings and numbers removed from another secret location, evade the monitoring of military satellites of various countries in 22 days, cross the long sea area, and reach the other side of the earth to fight a war that is not in China, but is absolutely a self-defense counterattack!

The nuclear submarine will put these 24 servicemen on an island with a strong magnetic field that forms a natural electronic shield, and then these 24 servicemen will use rafts to cross the sea area of 120 kilometers. After reaching the coastline, they also need to march one hundred and fifty kilometers without attracting anyone's attention until they reach the designated target for attack.

"Our nuclear submarines will remain electronically silent, hiding beneath the Pacific Ocean, and in one hundred and twenty hours, or five days, they will resurface near the islands where you have landed. We can't get any electronic signals there, so you're going to have to use two reds, one green, three flares to get in touch with the submarine. Remember, our nuclear submarines must not be exposed to the surface for a long time, so they will only wait for you there for fifteen minutes! ”

"If you can't get back to China on a nuclear submarine, you have to rely on your own strength to return to China. I would like to reiterate in the end that this is the most dangerous mission that will not be made public, and that it will not produce heroes, and it is impossible for the dead to leave even a corpse. Ling Yanshan looked around the audience and said in a deep voice: "If you are not willing to participate in this mission, it is too late to declare your withdrawal now!" ”

The audience was awe-inspiring.

"From this point on, you have twelve hours to arrange freely. I hope that twenty-four of you will go and that twenty-four will come back. Now you can go to the arsenal and pick up your weapons with your ID card. ”

Ling Yanshan gave a military salute to everyone and walked out of the multi-purpose conference hall.

Without the special weapons and equipment of the Fifth Special Force, which Wan Likai is already familiar with, the various weapons and protective equipment that are issued to everyone are really varied. There are American, Russian, Israeli, German, and of course, Chinese. These weapons come from different countries, from different sources of importation, and are often the same person, with Russian-made rifles, American-made body armor, German-made self-defense pistols, and Israeli-made bulletproof knee and elbow pads.

What Wan Likai received was a Barrett 12.7 mm anti-materiel sniper rifle that was equipped with special forces from 27 countries around the world at the same time, and could even be used directly for demining when necessary. As for his senior brother Zhao Jianping, he received a G22 sniper rifle made in Germany.

Wan Likai followed the example of everyone else, and Wan Likai began to carefully inspect the weapons assigned to his hands, and they still had twelve hours to move freely before entering a nuclear submarine that had already been prepared. During this time, they can fine-tune their weapons by firing live ammunition, or simply resign themselves to fate and hide to the side to rest.

Wan Likai was puzzled to see that Zhao Jianping had taken down all the bullets in the magazine, and mixed the 11.7-gram armor-core bullets that were used to attack soft targets and the 11.1-gram all-armor hard-core bullets. Then, using a nylon rope as thin as a human hair, the bullets were hoisted in turn, carefully observing their trajectory as they swayed through the air. Some people even find a balance that is only used in a chemical laboratory, put the bullets on it one by one, and weigh them in turn.

"Double-check the bullets you've been given." Zhao Jianping said to Wan Likai: "This is the rule that Master has set for me, every person who receives a bullet, at least three bullets, will kill you on the battlefield!" ”

"Look!"

Zhao Jianping picked out a G22 sniper rifle bullet from the pile of bullets, which did not appear to be abnormal on the surface. "The sniper rifle I use only has two types of bullets, these two bullets have a lead-core ordinary bullet, the initial velocity of the bullet is 883 meters, the firing distance is 600 meters, and the dispersion diameter is 22 centimeters; The initial velocity of the hard-core armor-piercing projectile is 874 per second, the firing distance of 600 meters, and the dispersion diameter is 23 centimeters. The ballistics of these two bullets are basically close, so it is possible to directly change the magazine or even mix them without adjusting the scope. But this bullet will make me irreparably fatal mistakes when shooting! ”

Wan Likai took the bullet in Zhao Jianping's hand, he gently picked up the bullet, to be honest, Wan Likai really can't see what is special about this bullet by weight. Learning from Zhao Jianping's movements, Wan Likai also used nylon thread to hang the bullet in the air, and when he carefully observed the trajectory marks of the bullet swinging in the air, Wan Likai, who already had a good understanding of ballistics, finally saw the problem...... This is a special off-core bullet!

"Every soldier knows that a gun is a soldier's second life on the battlefield, but what can really protect a soldier is the bullet that can be fired into the enemy's chest at any time in those gun magazines that are not faulty! Each of them is our friend, and if you want to survive the battlefield, you have to trust them. And the premise of trust is that you have to know them! ”

Zhao Jianping took out another bullet and said, "Look, this is Winchester." Magnum rifle bullets, in the eyes of the uninitiated, really have no problems, even if they are sent back to the manufacturing plant that produced the bullet and re-inspected separately, it is labeled as a quality product. But as a sniper who wants to kill and wound enemies on the battlefield and save himself effectively, you have to understand that this bullet is not perfect when it comes to covering brass galvanized copper coat armor. The Bundeswehr requires that the first hit rate of this bullet must be more than 90 percent when firing at a target of more than 1,000 meters, in other words, even if the bullet has a slight flaw, it is within the limits of theory. But for us, this theory of allowing for a 10 percent error is fatal, because if you were to snipe at a target of 1,500 meters with this bullet, the bullet would fly at least a little and a half meters away! ”

Zhao Jianping pulled out the tiger tooth fighting saber on his body, and he even hilariously wore a magnifying glass on his right eye similar to that used by a watchmaker when repairing precision machinery, in this case of strengthening his eyesight several times, Zhao Jianping with an almost pious expression, carefully used the tiger tooth fighting saber on this G22 sniper rifle special bullet, lightly grinded a few times.

Lifting the bullet into the air with a nylon rope again, looking at the track marks that it swung in the air, Zhao Jianping nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now, it has enough qualifications to become our good helper on the battlefield." ”

Wan Likai was really stunned. At the same time, he also understood the true meaning of the war hero song to make this kind of regulation, he was using this method to force the veterans present who had been through a hundred battles and had already learned to ignore life and death, every time before stepping on the battlefield, they had to be like a new soldier, carefully check the weapons in their hands, and every bullet, and then correct the mistakes that may cost them blood on the battlefield!

Zhao Jianping patted the shoulder of the little junior brother in front of him in understanding, and said, "Originally, these bullet testing techniques were intended to be taught to you on behalf of the master after you have received the training of the four training camps. But I didn't expect that you would progress so fast that it only took two and a half years to pass Master's assessment and allow you to participate in this military operation as a midship! I'll recheck your bullets for you, but you'll have to go to the shooting range for a test shot. Try to live, the gun is alive, only if you first treat her as a friend, spend enough time with her, and cultivate real feelings, she may become your most reliable partner on the battlefield! ”

Wan Likai nodded vigorously, and when he picked up the cut-proof military backpack issued to him, and was about to inspect all the weapons and equipment, including his bulletproof arm guards and knee pads, a small box in the side bag attracted Wan Likai's attention. It was a small box made of stainless steel, and when Wan Likai opened the box, the first thing he saw was a diamond that was so big that it was dazzling and even more dazzling!

Underneath this diamond is a stack of large dollar bills.

In this small stainless steel box, there is actually a reinforced compartment, and Wan Likai took out another piece from this compartment...... Gold Bricks?!

That's right, it's a gold brick that doesn't look big, only weighs about fifty grams, but when you hold it in your hand, it has a heavy feeling. On the front of this gold brick, there is also a string of numbers 99.99999 representing its high quality and high purity.

Looking at these things that should never appear on the battlefield, Wan Likai was really a little confused, he secretly looked at the other people's backpacks, as if everyone had received such a small metal box that was not large in size, but the value was probably more valuable than all the weapons on their bodies combined.

"This is also the rule set by Master."

Seeing Wan Likai sitting there stupidly, Zhao Jianping said: "As long as this kind of cross-border combat is carried out, Master will prepare such a box for us, and we all call it a 'survival box'!" If we are separated from the main army and do not withdraw from the battlefield in time, we need to pay for the passage when we have to rely on our own strength to return to China. If necessary, we can even use this fortune to buy off our enemies! ”

Wan Likai's fingers gently swept over the stack of large-denomination bills, and the thick paper and patterns representing wealth made Wan Likai's heart swell with a strange feeling. The U.S. dollar is the most widely circulated currency in the world, and in most countries and regions, the U.S. dollar can be exchanged or even used directly. If such a stack of banknotes is displayed to an ordinary soldier who does not have much faith, I believe that it may not be impossible to let them go in a cage and let themselves go.

As for that diamond, it is even more valuable, and it has an unparalleled fatal allure for women, just based on the value of this diamond, there will be people who are willing to take risks and use smuggling to send a harmless Chinese back to the Chinese mainland!

If neither the dollar nor diamonds can attract each other, then gold, a hard currency that circulates and is recognized all over the world, will do a good job.

The meaning of all this done by Zhan Xia Ge is very clear, he hopes that the brothers he sent out will be able to come back alive. At the very least, he, as a commander, wants to create the most favorable escape situation for everyone!

Finally, Wan Likai took out a button carefully sealed with small plastic from this small metal box. "What is this for?"

"If you're seriously wounded on the battlefield and you've fired the last bullet, bite it and swallow it." Zhao Jian pinned his button to his collar expressionlessly, and then replied: "As long as you bite this button and swallow it, you will die without pain in ten seconds, and your corpse will begin to decompose within ten minutes." Those of us who have participated in the 'Blue Shield' military competition with Master must not leave our corpses to the enemy! Wan Likai, you remember for me, if you are seriously injured on the battlefield and have no strength to retreat, if you don't swallow this button yourself, I will kill you with my own hands, and then smash this button and stuff it into your mouth! In the same way, if I am in the same situation, don't show mercy to my men! ”

Looking at Zhao Jianping's face, Wan Likai, who had been with him for nearly three years, clearly knew that the words that this senior brother said were absolutely serious.

Looking at everyone present, they pinned the button that would die in ten seconds if it was bitten and the corpse began to decompose within ten minutes to his collar, and Wan Likai silently pinned the button to the collar that he could bite as soon as he lowered his head. Looking at these living soldiers around him, imagining the tragedy of when they really sacrificed their lives for the country and the people, but they couldn't even keep their own corpses, Wan Likai truly understood the meaning of soldiers and war for the first time!

Ling Yanshan walked into the room, and she personally handed an envelope, a few pages of stationery and a pen to everyone present. Ling Yanshan even had a digital camera in her hand, no one needed to remind her, Wan Likai also knew that this was to ask them to leave their suicide note before leaving.

For a moment, the room filled the room with the rustle of pen tips on paper. Wan Likai finished writing his suicide note for the first time, and he didn't even use the envelope, so he handed the suicide note to Ling Yanshan's hands.

Wan Likai only wrote a few words on it: I, my character is so good, and I am the apprentice of Zhanxia Song. How to calculate, it is impossible to "hang" gloriously on the first mission, right? If you ask me what I want to do on this mission, my only thought is that not only do I want to go and come back well, but I also hope that all my brothers and friends can get out of that nuclear submarine like me! Of course, if Master is in a good mood and smiles a lot, and gives me that little metal box as a bonus, it will be even more perfect!

Ling Yanshan looked at this absolutely alternative "suicide note", and couldn't help but raise a smile on her face, she looked up and down and looked at her for two and a half years without seeing each other, facing her trying to puff up her chest, wanting to make the muscles of the mixed body more exaggerated, but in her eyes, Wan Likai, who looked like a strong little rooster, Ling Yanshan smiled: "The little guy finally has a bit of a man's taste." If this mission really goes as smoothly as you hope, take the contents of your small metal box and consider it when everyone goes out to celebrate the fund. ”
