Chapter 574 Special Forces Female Sniper
"Brigade Commander! My scouts have spotted two Burmese soldiers in the mountains. They're acting suspiciously; they might be spies sent by the Burmese to spy on us!"
"Scouting their movements?" Liang He stood with his hands on his hips, staring at the two bound men in front of him. "These are the only two they sent to scout? I don't see any weapons or radar on them. What's wrong? Do they look down on our Fifth Brigade?"
"Uh..." The person next to me gave an awkward laugh.
"We...we're not here to investigate!" the Burmese man explained. "We escaped from the Fuping Army camp. We wanted to hide in the mountains for a few days and then take advantage of the chaos to return to our hometown. We never expected to run into you..."
"You can understand Mandarin?" Liang He asked, slightly surprised, in Burmese. He had just spoken to his subordinates in Mandarin, not Burmese.
“Our friends are Chinese, and also Chinese soldiers! So I can understand some simple things…”
"You have friends who are Chinese soldiers?" Liang He laughed, his shoulders shaking, then shook his head. "You're not being honest. Trying to be clever and lie to me to get closer to me?"
"Sir, I'm telling the truth! I'm not lying!"
"Alright, stop beating around the bush and get to the bottom of this. What is your mission? What's the situation in Fuping City? Why is it so quiet outside the city?" Liang He was losing patience and threatened with a fierce look, "If you answer all of these questions, I might consider letting you live. Otherwise, I'll really send you back to your [hometown]!"
Behind him, the adjutant pulled out a dagger.
The tip of the dagger gleamed with a cold, sharp edge...
"We really weren't here on a mission! Please, let my brother and me go!" The Burmese woman, who had been silent all along, knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly to the ground. "We were forced into the army. We didn't kill a single Chinese person. We really, really just want to go back to the seaside, back to our homes!"
"You're so stubborn."
Liang He's face turned cold.
“Brigade Commander, we’ve already said all that, but they still won’t confess. They insist they’re just deserters!” The chief of staff said sternly, stepping forward to whisper, “They are, after all, Burmese soldiers. We can’t tell if what they’re saying is true or false. If we just release them like this, it could expose our whereabouts and attack plans! We absolutely cannot take that risk.”
“Of course I know that!” Liang He said in a deep voice, deftly raising his left hand.
The adjutant, gripping a knife, awaited orders at any moment.
"stop!"
A clear voice stopped Liang He's actions.
They looked up and saw that the person who had come was the soldier Wen Ni.
"What are you doing here? Do you know them?" Liang He asked, his eyes turning cold.
Before Wen Ni could answer, the woman kneeling on the ground got up first. Completely disregarding the ropes binding her, she threw herself into Wen Ni's arms!
"Waaaaah! Hua Ying!!"
"Machi".
Wen Ni opened her arms and hugged her tightly.
The Burmese man next to him, also known as Ge Gang, breathed a huge sigh of relief the moment he saw Wen Ni, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to sit on the ground!
"They really do know each other!"
"This Wen Ni is really suspicious! How could she know Burmese soldiers!"
"With such people following us all the way, hasn't everything we do been exposed to the enemy? No wonder the journey has been so smooth; could it be that the enemy has already set up a trap for us?"
It's no wonder the officers present made that guess.
At such a moment, on the battlefield, anyone or anything can affect the entire battle situation!
Liang He also stared at Wen Ni with a grim expression.
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
“They are not our enemies.” Wen Ni patted Ma Qi’s shoulder reassuringly before turning to face Liang He, no longer hiding anything. “I have been on several missions to Burma, and it was these siblings who helped me time and time again, which enabled me to complete the missions successfully!”
"You? Going to Burma on a mission?" The reconnaissance company commander and the other officers stared at Wen Ni with wide eyes and unreadable expressions.
They clearly didn't believe it, and even found it ridiculous.
Liang He stepped forward, getting closer to Wen Ni in the eye. "Now, I'll give you one more chance. Tell me accurately, without hiding anything, who you really are!"
"I am a sniper from a special operations team of the 76482nd Marine Division of the 83rd Group Army."
Wen Ni looked straight at Liang He without flinching, her clear words leaving everyone present stunned!
“I participated in the evacuation operation during the Burmese civil war, and it was these two who helped us pass messages, which saved all the embassy staff! I can assure you that they are not enemies, and they will never become our enemies!”
"She's actually a special operations soldier from the 83rd Group Army? And... a sniper too!?" Everyone around was astonished.
Liang He also raised an eyebrow.
He guessed that she was someone special, but he didn't dare to think of her as a special forces member.
Because she is a woman!
It's not that he's being sexist, but rather that women's physical, mental, and emotional states fluctuate greatly and are difficult to control. This also presents many inconveniences when carrying out missions.
For these very reasons, women make up only a fraction of a percent of the special forces!
In particular, she was the team's eyes and ears. A sniper, a crucial role!
"Brigadier, is what she said true?"
"Brigade Commander, I don't think we can trust her too easily."
"They are very likely in cahoots!"
Amid the discussion, Liang He pondered for a long time before suddenly making a decision.
“Since you know them, that’s perfect. You can interrogate them. They should at least be able to tell you some details about the current situation in Fuping City. If they can’t…” Liang He’s tone was cold and stern. “I have my own methods for dealing with them! No matter who they are or what they have done, I would never gamble with so many lives under my command! You don’t need to try to lie to me. I have my own way of explaining. You can’t fool me.”
After saying that, he turned and stepped aside, his back to the wall.
He seemed to have left the space to Wen Ni and the other two, but in reality, he could hear everything they said.
"How did you end up coming from the south to Fuping?"
“Not long after we finished handling Brother Song’s funeral, the Burmese government came to conscript young people into the army. We had only just begun…” Maqi said, her expression filled with grief.
Wen Ni's face froze, and she clenched her fists. "You...have you met Song Yanfeng?"
"Yes, yes..."
Maggie burst into tears whenever she talked about it.
The brother sighed slightly before continuing, "It was a message Lu Jinye sent from afar, through a middleman, asking us to help pick up someone. We staked out a hotel on Factory Street for a few days. On the day of the shooting, I was the one who helped Song Yanfeng evade pursuit and brought him back to our southern fishing village. After we got back, he asked us to have the words from a gold bracelet engraved on his back... and, after his death, to do everything we could to send his body back to China by sea..."
“That gold bracelet, you gave it to him.” Maggie covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably. “When I engraved the inscription for him, he asked me to carve it very deep, so deep and painful, but he didn’t utter a single sound! He said it was the only thing he could do for you, for China… the last thing he could do!”
