Chapter 267 Decapitation, Surprise Attack Team Strikes "High Armor!"
Jiang Yan's voice echoed through the camp.
Gao Kai suddenly raised his head and straightened his chest: "Here!"
"You will be the squad leader! Immediately gather the remaining members of the original squad and reorganize the team!"
"Yes!" Gao Kai's voice was loud and powerful.
Then, Jiang Yan's gaze searched among his subordinates in the fifth squad, finally settling on a sturdy male soldier with a calm face.
"excellence!"
“Here!” The male soldier named Zhuoyue stepped forward in response, his voice as steady as a mountain.
This appointment surprised some people.
Zhuoyue is one of the older trainees in this group. He is usually quiet and reserved, but he is an outstanding reconnaissance soldier.
Jiang Yan seemed to see through everyone's doubts, and he explained in a deep voice:
"What we need now is not individual heroes, but soldiers who can stabilize morale and absolutely obey orders! Comrade Zhuoyue has served as a reconnaissance soldier for five years. He is experienced and has a calm personality. I believe he can lead the second squad well!"
In short, it was both an appointment and a public critique of Bai Wei and Qiao Lin's individualism and insubordination.
"Now, all squad leaders, proceed to the command tent for a meeting! The rest of you, rest where you are, treat the wounded, and check your weapons and ammunition! You have ten minutes!"
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and strode towards the command tent not far away.
Xu Gaogui, Gao Kai, and Zhuoyue immediately followed.
Su Tang also moved. She calmly glanced at Bai Wei and Qiao Lin, who looked lost and distraught in the distance, and then followed.
Stripped of their power, Bai Wei and Qiao Lin could only watch helplessly as the four men entered the tent representing the core of power, while they were not even allowed to approach it.
Qiao Lin stared at Su An's back, her disgust for him almost tangible.
How could a country girl with no background or family connections be allowed to step on her head and give orders, just like the daughter of Deputy Division Commander Qiao?
The few words she casually made up actually became reality, while her perfect plan based on military strategy became a joke.
This is a double insult to her identity and intelligence!
Bai Wei's eyes were filled with gloom. She had been plotting to trip up Su An, but each time she was backfired on.
Not only did Gao Kai become increasingly protective of her, but even her childhood sweetheart Jiang Yan showed her no respect whatsoever.
Glory, command... all these things that should have belonged to her were taken away by this woman named Su An.
She not only became a stepping stone to prove Su An's "correctness," but also suffered a crushing defeat, becoming the laughingstock of the entire camp.
She won't let this go so easily.
...
Inside the command tent, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
A simple map was laid out on the ammunition box.
"Tell me, what do we do now?" Jiang Yan's voice was full of exhaustion.
Xu Gaogui adjusted his glasses and spoke with a bitter tone:
"Commander, the situation is... worse than I anticipated. We have suffered heavy losses in manpower and morale is also low... Moreover, Battalion Two will definitely attack soon. We can only hold our ground and wait for reinforcements, and fight a positional war."
His words made the atmosphere in the tent even heavier.
"Defend?" The newly appointed squad leader, Zhuo Yue, shook his head, his voice steady. "How can we defend? The enemy's grenade launchers have a range of over 800 meters, and our camp is completely within their coverage area. Holding out is like encircling sixty brothers and turning them into live targets for them to bomb. That's just waiting to die."
Gao Kai's fists clenched until they turned white, and he said in a deep voice:
"We can't defend, and we can't charge forward like before. Their equipment advantage is overwhelming, and any conventional tactics would be playing with our brothers' lives. We have to find a way to play that they would never expect."
His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su An, who was silent in the corner.
