Chapter 138 The Glory of Being a Soldier

Lu Yao came back safely. Xu Long wanted to ask him about what happened last night, but the look in Lu Yao's eyes indicated that he'd better not do so, and therefore he stopped immediately.

The other team members also gathered around Lu Yao. They wanted to know the reason. However, they were stopped by Xu Long. Xu Long knew that Lu Yao obviously had no choice but to do this. Although Xu Long was curious, the expression in Lu Yao's eyes told him that he'd better not ask, so he didn't. As long as he knew that Lu Yao had returned safely, he was satisfied.

Xu Long looked at his watch. It was already seven o'clock in the morning, which meant that the drill would end in another seventeen hours. He thought about it and asked for everyone's opinion, "Comrades, there are still more than ten hours before the drill ends. Now, Hong Yan and his two teammates of the Falcon Assault Team are in Yunwu Mountain, and we have seven people left. Based on the rules of the drill, we only need to hide our whereabouts and hold on till the end of the drill, and then we will win. But..."

Xu Long did not continue. Instead, he paused and looked at his team members.

"Captain, if you have something to say, just say it. We will firmly follow your orders!" Gao Feng said bluntly, and the others also echoed to express that they agreed with Gao Feng.

Xu Long saw the expressions on everyone's faces and knew that they had guessed what he wanted to say, but he still insisted, "But I don't think it will be honorable if we win the drill like this. If this matter is exposed, even if we are the winners, I think it will be a shame for us. Whether our Elite Team will be disbanded or not depends on this matter, so I want to hear your opinions."

"Captain, let's take the initiative to attack. We have been holding back these past few days and we didn't have the chance to fight the Falcon Assault Team. If we can't fight them to our heart's content, then what's the point of us participating in this drill?!" Li Fei expressed his attitude firmly.

"Yes, we are soldiers. Our glory must be won through our hard work. If we don't fight them, even if we win, we will be laughed at by the soldiers of other major military regions." Wang Peng and Xu Yi were also very supportive of Li Fei.

"Our Elite Team will not win like this. We must take the initiative to attack!" Gao Feng said firmly. He took two steps forward and came to the front of Xu Long and the crowd.

Xu Long shared the same thought as everyone else, but as Captain, he had to analyze the pros and cons of this matter to everyone. He said, "If we don't fight with them, we may be able to hold on until the end and win. We can even get the chance to compete with foreign soldiers and win glory for our country. If we can achieve excellent results in the World Special Forces Competition, it will benefit our military careers in the future. But at the same time, like Big Peng said, we will be laughed at by the soldiers of other major military regions!"

"But if we fight with them, the situation might be the opposite. We are likely to fail and lose everything. However, we can walk out of Yunwu Mountain with a clear conscience. That is why I want everyone to think about it carefully." Xu Long said.

The soldiers understood what he said, but as Captain, Xu Long was more aware of the consequences his choice would bring to the Elite Team, which was established temporarily.

If they failed, the Elite Team would be disbanded, and all members had to return to their last military units to continue their military careers as ordinary soldiers.

If they won, the Elite Team would have a brand new name: Thunder Assault Team. The benefits would be far more than that. They would most likely participate in the competition between the special soldiers from six Asian countries, which was slated to be held in Central Asia a year later.

According to the usual practice, if they were able to achieve good results in this competition, they would make developments smoothly in their military careers and they would be able to achieve meteoric success.

"Fight, we want a glorious fight!" The other six members, including Lu Yao, shouted in a low voice. They quickly stood in a row in front of Xu Long and looked firmly at him.

Xu Long looked at his team members with mixed feelings. Although they were not the most outstanding soldiers he had ever seen, they were indeed very courageous, and courage was essential for outstanding soldiers.

Xu Long's eyes were slightly moist. He took a deep breath and said from the bottom of his heart, "It is my honor to form this small team with you guys. Since we are all determined to fight, then we will carefully study the situation and fight for the final victory!"

Xu Long looked at Xu Yi, who immediately understood him and took out an old map from his backpack. He quickly unfolded it on the grass and said, "This is the oldest map of Yunwu Mountain. I got it from Officer Wang before the drill. Although this map is old, it is very valuable."

Xu Yi pointed at a spot on the map. Then, he put his electronic map aside and explained, "The site of our final battle was set by the director team in only one area, but you can also see that the electronic map and this paper map are very different. This is because this area is very dangerous. This was an unknown minefield that once belonged to Hazan. Ever since it was returned to our country, no one had detected the mines here. It is too dangerous to be on the ground to illustrate this area on the map, so people work high above the ground to draw the map. But it is not accurate because of the lush forest that blocked the features of the terrain. Therefore, this paper map is very important to us. Now, everyone should forget about the electronic map. You must remember these positions carefully..."

Xu Yi used a red pen to quickly mark some red dots on the map. According to him, these were the areas that were most likely filled with landmines. All the members carefully remembered every single point that Xu Yi marked on the map.

Ten minutes later, after receiving his team members' reply, Xu Long said, "I need to tell you about the remaining members of the Falcon Assault Team. Everyone, you must remember their unique abilities so that we can defeat them with our combined strength. This way, our chances of winning will be higher."

Captain Hong Yan almost had no weaknesses. He was extremely good at free fight, shooting, hiding, and other techniques.

Su Li was strong. His figure was similar to that of Gao Feng. Anyone who had fought with him would fear his strength. He was known as the strongest man in Xijing Military Region. He was good at advancing.

Tie Feinan was a sniper. He spoke very little but had very sharp eyes. His eyes were as sharp as those of an eagle. It was said that no sign of movement within a radius of three hundred meters could escape his sight.

"Next, I'll tell you the details of our mission. Because our enemies' individual strength is far greater than ours, I won't divide us into groups of two. Lu Yao, you are in charge of observing and sniping. You have to lock onto the enemies' positions as fast as you can after entering the final battle zone. Pay special attention to Tie Feinan. We can't let him eliminate us one by one, understand?" Xu Long made arrangements after introducing the three remaining members of the Falcon Assault Team.

"Yes, I will definitely complete the mission!" Lu Yao said firmly.

"Everyone else, including me, has to maintain a distance of no more than two meters. When we get close to our enemies, Big Gao, Xu Yi, and Wang Peng will deal with Su Li. I will take Li Kang and Li Fei to deal with Hong Yan. We must achieve victory in one blow. We can't let them have any chance to counterattack. Do you understand?" Xu Long asked everyone.

"Copy that!"

"In the end, I will say one more thing. This time, we will have a decisive battle. Whether it is for us to attack, defend, or retreat, all the orders will be given by Lu Yao. Is there a problem?" Xu Long added.

The team members all focused their eyes on Lu Yao. When they saw Lu Yao's calm face, they suddenly had full confidence in him. They shouted in a low voice, "No problem, we will obey Staff Officer Lu's orders!"

"That's good. Let's go!" Xu Long issued the last command as Captain. After this, Lu Yao would command this Elite Team to fight in the subsequent battle.

After the team members heard the order to set off, they quickly advanced towards the final battle zone.

Before Lu Yao left, Xu Long patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him. Then, Lu Yao disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Feinan, your performance in this final battle is very important. After thinking about it, I always feel that the underage boy whom we ignored is likely to be the biggest variable in this confrontation drill. Their sniper Wang Shi has been eliminated. According to the information we have, the other people's sniping skills can't be compared to yours. I'm worried that this kid will temporarily be their sniper, because last time when we surrounded them, it was most likely him who found out our positions. His scouting ability is likely to be very strong!" On the other end of the battle zone, Hong Yan was also deploying this final tactic. He patted Tie Feinan beside him and said seriously, "After entering the battle zone, you must immediately lock onto everyone's position, especially that brat's position. The final results depend on this, do you understand?"

Tie Feinan usually did not speak much, especially when it came to critical moments. After hearing Hong Yan's words, he nodded heavily, expressing his determination.

"Su Li, you and I shall maintain a distance that we can support each other at any time. They outnumber us, but our individual abilities are stronger than them. I think Xu Long should also consider this point, so if Feinan is restrained at the last moment, we will likely have to face the siege of those six soldiers. At that time, a fierce battle will be inevitable. We must play out the skills we practiced in our usual cooperation. Only in this way will our chances of winning be greater." Hong Yan repeatedly warned Su Li. He was a little worried about Su Li. He knew Su Li well. He was a battle maniac. Sometimes, when he fought, there might be accidents.

"Don't worry, Captain. I know what's more important. We can't lose to the eighty-ninth army this time!" Su Li replied seriously.

Sensing the determination of Su Li and Tie Feinan, Hong Yan also felt a lot more relieved.

After the elapse of so many years, how was your strength, Xu Long?
