An hour later, Xu Jianguo was pushed out of the operating room. Li Meng, Dong Guoqiang and others who were waiting outside the door immediately stood up and surrounded him.
"Doctor, what's the situation?" Li Meng asked.
The doctor took off his mask and said, "The wound has been sutured. The patient is in good physical condition, but he lost too much blood. He is not in danger of death after a blood transfusion. He will wake up after the anesthetic wears off. Don't worry."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. After thanking the doctor, they followed Xu Jianguo's bed to the ward.
At this time, Yang Shulin breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a call from Li Meng, but when he looked at the manuscript paper on the table, his expression became solemn again.
The content on the manuscript paper is the action report that Zhong Lei wrote immediately after returning. Due to time constraints, the report is very brief, but some problems can still be found in it.
First, who are the men in black in the cave in the Fairy Mountain Grand Canyon?
Second, what exactly is inside the cave?
Third, why did these people knock the members of the scientific expedition team unconscious and then move them outside?
Fourth, how did Xu Jianguo find the scientific expedition team?
In this mission, apart from the sacrifice of more than a dozen guards, only Xu Jianguo himself was seriously injured. Fortunately, he appeared in time and saved the lives of dozens of people.
Although Yang Shulin had experienced dozens of battles, big and small, he still felt unbearable pain in his heart whenever he thought of the young soldiers who died in this mission.
Yang Shulin pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a few puffs, and then stubbed it out in the ashtray. He then stood up and shouted out the door, "Shi Lei, notify all cadres above the regimental level to attend the meeting!"
As the telephones in the Chengdu base rang, an emergency meeting was held in the headquarters' conference room.
The guard opened the door of the conference room, and Yang Shulin and Zhong Lei walked in from outside. The generals and commanders in the room were waiting for his arrival.
Yang Shulin, with a frown on his face, walked to the main seat and sat down, while Zhong Lei sat on a chair in the corner by the wall.
Yang Shulin glanced at the crowd, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke, "I believe everyone already knows what happened. This time, more than a dozen guards protecting the scientific expedition team died. For our Rongcheng base, this is a provocation and a huge shame for us."
"Next, I'll have the guard platoon leader, Zhong Lei, who's leading this mission, explain the details of what happened, and then we can discuss what to do next."
"Zhong Lei!"
"arrive!"
“Let’s get started!”
"yes!"
Zhong Lei saluted everyone present before speaking, "This mission..."
Zhong Lei spent half an hour recounting the entire incident in detail. When he finished, no one spoke in the entire conference room, but he could hear everyone's heavy breathing and the anger that was being suppressed.
After a moment, Yang Shulin was the first to speak: "Zhong Lei, go out first and compile a detailed report of the incident and give it to me as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" After Zhong Lei finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the meeting room.
When the conference room door was closed again, Yang Shulin spoke in a deep voice, "Comrades, everyone is aware of what happened. Although the expedition team members were not harmed, more than a dozen of our soldiers were left behind in the mountains. Therefore, our mission is not over. Now that Comrade Xu Jianguo is out of danger, it is time for us to strike back."
"Damn it, don't let me catch them smashing these things, or I will skin them alive!" said Yao Guang, deputy commander of the Rongcheng base.
"Commander Yao is right! We have been at peace for too long, and now all kinds of monsters dare to run away! We must teach them a lesson!" said a brigade commander.
As the two spoke, everyone in the conference room also expressed their opinions. Although everyone was talking at once, there was only one central idea: the murderer behind the scenes must be found and dealt a fatal blow.
Yang Shulin did not say anything, but just listened quietly to the discussion. After a moment, he raised his right hand and knocked on the table with the joints of his index and middle fingers. The meeting room suddenly became quiet.
"Comrades, I know you are all holding back a lot of energy, and I am the same as you, but the main purpose of our meeting today is to come up with a practical and effective plan. Let me first tell you my ideas, and after I finish speaking, if there are any deficiencies, you can add to them." Yang Shulin said.
"Okay! Lao Yang, go ahead!" Yao Guang's rough voice sounded.
Yang Shulin nodded seriously and said:
"First, the 158th Regiment (fictitious) and the 159th Regiment (fictitious) marched into the Fairy Mountain Gorge, blocking both sides of the gorge and the surrounding 30 kilometers."
"Second, the 157th Regiment (fictitious) Reconnaissance Battalions 1 and 2 are responsible for searching the cave. Objectives: annihilate the enemy, determine their purpose, and recover the bodies of the fallen soldiers."
"Third, the Chengdu base has entered a level three combat readiness state. Personnel remaining at other bases are required to heighten their vigilance, strengthen patrols and security measures, and make every effort to protect the base's safety."
Yang Shulin stated his plan in a serious tone. He was well aware of the responsibilities on his shoulders. It was less than ten years since the end of the North Korean War. No one would have thought that more than a dozen fully armed guards would be sacrificed in the inland area in peacetime. If there was a shadow of a hostile country behind this, then he, as the commander of the Chengdu base, would be to blame.
In the current emergency situation, any slackness may lead to unrest in the southwestern region of Longxia Kingdom, and then affect the entire country.
Just before the meeting started, Yang Shulin received a call from his old leader Su Dingshan within the red walls of the capital. Su Dingshan did not criticize him on the phone, but only told him that the No. 1 leader was paying attention to the matter and had already selected some people from the Security Bureau to form an investigation team, which was expected to arrive at the Chengdu base in two days.
Su Dingshan's meaning was very clear. The fault in this matter was not in their Rongcheng base, but was caused by the intelligence department's failure to discover it in time. Therefore, he asked Yang Shulin to actively cooperate with the investigation team's inquiries and not to conceal anything.
Yang Shulin gathered his thoughts, stood up, looked at everyone, and asked, "That's my plan. Let's discuss it now. If you think there are any shortcomings, please tell me!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of discussion in the conference room. After a while, a combat staff officer shouted, "Report!"
"speak!"
"Commander, the 158th and 159th Regiments are mountain combat regiments. When they enter Fairy Mountain, the advance of heavy vehicles will be affected. Do you think we should send the 161st Regiment? After all, they are mainly used for reconnaissance and are more skilled in jungle warfare."
Yang Shulin thought about it, shook his head and said, "No!"
