Chapter 639
When Ji Feng and his group arrived at the western border of China, the transport plane had landed about one or two hundred kilometres away from the military base, and under the leadership of Xiang Yongzhan, Ji Feng and the others directly entered the Gobi Beach and disappeared into the vast desert.
At the same time, a certain department in China openly declared to the public that it would conduct a practical exercise in a certain area in the west some time in the future, aiming to strengthen the cooperation between our mountain division and other military types in actual combat, and also to accumulate experience in desert combat to keep up with the times ……
The world has been speculating whether this live exercise is a deterrent in response to a certain country in the northwest’s overreaching remarks about Chinese territory some time ago.
This is because from the configuration of the troops announced by the authorities, the time of the exercise and the exercise plan, this time, the actual exercise is completely aimed at a certain country’s elite troop types to study the method of restraint ……
But very few people know that this military exercise is actually just a cover for the operation of a small army, to divert the attention of the outside world, to confuse the public, or even to let the Western Xia let down its guard and give this small army an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that they can accomplish their mission better and easier.
……
Yanjing, the Royal Club.
Inside a clean office, a man with a mask on his face half reclined on a soft sofa, looking at a newspaper in his hand, a light flickering in his eyes.
On the opposite side of the coffee table sat a man and a woman, the man was none other than the terrifying foreigner that Cozy had once seen at the Royal Club, while the woman, was none other than Ji Feng’s arch rival, the second generation leader of the Qiao family today – Qiao Rong.
“A military exercise?!” The masked man casually threw the newspaper on the coffee table and said in an indecisive voice, “What is the Chinese high command up to again? Qiao Rong, for this information, you should more or less know something about it, right?”
Qiao Rong deliberated for a moment before asking cautiously, “Lord in charge, this military exercise, it has something to do with us?”
She really didn’t know how the Lord-in-Charge could pay attention to this boring military exercise, this kind of thing happened almost a few times a year, as the leading figure of the Qiao family, how could Qiao Rong focus on this?
What she usually su concerned about is just some changes in the current situation, or who has been promoted, who has been demoted and things like that, concerned about the rise and fall of her own family and when the Ji family will be unlucky.
It would take days and nights to talk about Qiao Rong’s hatred for Ji Feng, based on all the grudges between her and him. Since her son was beaten up twice, until this last time he never got up from bed, and is still paralyzed in bed, almost broken in spirit, Qiao Rong simply hates Ji Feng to the bone.
The two had a personal vendetta that could never be resolved.
And her hatred for the Ji family was likewise extremely strong. In fact, the root cause of Qiao Rong’s enmity with Ji Feng still lay in her grudge against the Ji family, only that it was difficult to make these things clear even now.
In fact, even if Qiao Rong knows that the fault lies with her, she will never admit it, some people are like that, the mistake is always someone else’s and the grievance is always their own.
Therefore, Qiao Rong even didn’t miss any opportunity to hit Ji Feng, the more unlucky Ji Feng was, the happier she would be. If the Ji family suddenly collapsed now and the building came crashing down, Qiao Rong would definitely throw a feast and celebrate in a big way for three days and nights.
Just like now, she still did not forget to strike Ji Feng.
“Lord in charge, is this military exercise against us? That must be the Ji family’s stunt!” Qiao Rong was actually still a shrewd woman, because she heard that the tone of the lord in charge was a bit unkind when talking about the military exercise, so she immediately realised that the lord in charge was angry, so she simply directed this anger towards the Ji family, whether it was related to the Ji family or not anyway, and gave the lord in charge a preconceived impression first.
If Ji Feng had heard these words, he would have admired Qiao Rong, no matter what dirty water it was anyway, throwing it on the Ji family first, this was the highest level of false accusation ah.
“The Ji family?”
The masked man sneered and said, “You’re right, the Ji family is definitely not off the hook in this matter either, which decision at the top of China’s hierarchy doesn’t have the shadow of these few giants?”
“Lord in charge, so should we now give the Ji family a taste of their own medicine?” Qiao Rong immediately asked, “I heard that that little beast Ji Feng has arrived in Yanjing, we can’t move the Ji family for the time being, but we can totally start with Ji Feng’s body. As long as Ji Feng is in trouble, the Ji family will definitely be left to fend for themselves, and by then ……”
“That’s enough!”
The masked man snorted coldly, interrupting Qiao Rong’s gushing words, “Qiao Rong, I have already said that the first thing we have to deal with now is the He family. If you dare to lead this nonsense again, I will definitely not let you off, don’t make me repeat it a third time!”
Qiao Rong was instantly frightened and her body trembled as she said in a panic, “Yes, Lord in charge, I won’t do it again.”
The masked man’s tone softened slightly and said, “I know you hate the Ji family, but now is not the time. In modern times, the economy comes first and the military a*sists. If the military in China is out of our reach for the time being, we must first take down the He family, the leading commercial player, and everything else, can be pushed back, remember?”
“Yes, Lord in charge.” Qiao Rong secretly hated in her heart, but her mouth dared not say anything.
“This military exercise, looking at its troop configuration, is obviously aimed at San’s elite troops. This should be a signal sent out by the top bra*s of China, as a way to show their tough attitude, and also a response to San’s provocation some time ago.”
The masked man analyzed indifferently, Qiao Rong and the tall foreigner did not dare to speak, but just listened quietly.
“All these, are the speculations of the domestic and foreign media and some military commentators, but I always feel that behind this military exercise, there should be some other intention, we just don’t know it yet ……” the masked man mused, whirling and raising his voice:. “Qiao Rong, give you a task: make sure you find out what other intentions are hidden behind this military operation in China in the shortest possible time!”
“Yes, Your Excellency!” Qiao Rong immediately replied.
“This matter is settled, how is our plan to target the He family progressing?” The masked man asked again.
Qiao Rong said cautiously, “Lord Supervisor, I have made tentative contact with the people of the He family, that He Hongwei is too shrewd, although he looks civilized and wears a smile all day long, no matter what he does, he does not move, this person is very difficult to deal with. However, his younger brother, He Hongqiang, is something that can be used.”
“Go on.” The masked man said.
“Yes.”
Qiao Rong continued, “He Hongqiang is a famous fop in Yanjing, like his uncle, and is known as the big and small fop of the He family, both with heads and no brains, so I was thinking, can we start with He Hongqiang as well as his uncle’s body?”
“Oh?” The masked man became somewhat interested, “And how do you intend to do that?”
“Your Excellency, I plan to use He Hongqiang and his uncle as a breakthrough to find evidence against them, and try to kick He Hongwei out of the chairmanship of the Tianyao Group, and at the same time, get his father to move, then I will use some connections to try to get a loser to take control of the Tianyao Group, at that time, Your Excellency will then use the strong economic power of the organisation, enough to use the fastest the fastest speed to destroy the Tian Yao Group.”
Qiao Rong kept analysing, the more she spoke the brighter her eyes became, “As long as the Tianyao Group falls, then some other private capital will not be able to resist much!”
“This is not a bad idea, but after all, He Hongqiang and his uncle, are only two insignificant figures, the organisation has thought of starting with them before, but all that was gathered was something insignificant, how can you find evidence that can bring down He Hongwei as well as his father?” The masked man asked.
Qiao Rong said, “What Lord in charge said was that He Hongqiang and his uncle were indeed just two A**holes, irrelevant, and even if they had made any mistakes, no one would deliberately make things difficult for them. However, they were nonetheless fops, the direct descendants of the Ho family. If they make an unforgivable mistake, I’m sure the others will speak up, because the whole of Yanjing is not an ironclad family, and the conflicts are still fierce.”
The masked man frowned slightly, “Committed an unforgivable mistake?”
“Yes, Lord in charge, but it will take us to guide …… them,” Qiao Rong said meaningfully.
The masked man burst out laughing, “Good, this is a good solution, it seems that I was limited in my gaze before, I just didn’t think of this solution …… Qiao Rong, you are really a full-fledged conspirator.”
“It is my honor to serve the Lord in charge.” Qiao Rong immediately said with a smile on her face.
“Hm!”
The masked man nodded in satisfaction, “For the sake of you being so loyal to the organization, the organization will not treat you badly …… Regarding your son’s injury, I have already applied to the organization and a specialist will arrive soon, and by then you will definitely be returned to a living, breathing son! ”
“Thank you, Lord in charge, thank you, Lord in charge!” Qiao Rong was instantly excited and said with a face full of gratitude.
“Alright, let’s stop here for today.” The masked man waved his hand.
Qiao Rong and the tall foreigner instantly stood up with good sense and quickly retreated.
Just as Qiao Rong was about to walk out of the office, the masked man suddenly spoke up and asked, “Qiao Rong, does your husband know about you joining the organisation?”
“Him?!”
A look of disdain appeared on Qiao Rong’s face and she brushed her lips, “What does that punk of his know? Please don’t worry, Lord in charge, I definitely won’t let him know.”
The masked man’s eyes instantly turned cold, and his breathing sharpened slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mood again and waved his hand.
Qiao Rong immediately left respectfully.
Bang!
The door to the office was closed, and the masked man’s eyes were cold and frightening, “Qiao Rong, you are really a good wife ……”
Chapter 640
It was midday on a hot summer’s day in July when a group of explorer-like people came along the Gobi beach in the western frontier of China. The group was dressed in ordinary field sportswear, with sun hats, large bags on their backs, and compa*ses and water bottles hanging from their waists.
Such a group of people is not uncommon on the Gobi Desert. In fact, every once in a while, there are always groups of explorers who come here to investigate and research, either to explore the landscape or to do scientific research, to name but a few.
What is surprising, however, is that this group of explorers, all young men in their twenties, and without guides, just about a dozen of them, seem to be walking aimlessly.
But in fact, if one looks closely, one will see that although these people look lazy and seem to be walking with great difficulty in the hot sun, their gazes, hidden under their visors, are so sharp that they are frightening. On their wrists, they all had high-precision satellite positioning devices, but the devices looked as if they were just watches, which seemed very inconspicuous.
Moreover, although the formation of these people appeared to be very loose, as if they were moving at random, in fact, if one looked closely, one could vaguely see that there was a certain pattern to the formation of these people, whether it was the direction they were moving or the distance between them, this pattern existed.
Moreover, no matter how these people moved, the distance between them did not change much, and it looked as if they were one whole.
“Number one, how much further do we have to go?” A young man at the front of the line turned his head and asked his companion.
“Sir, according to the position marked on the satellite map, we are currently approaching the target.” A young man next to him said.
“Close to the target? How much longer exactly?” The young man in the lead frowned and asked.
“Half an hour at the most.” The young man next to him looked at the electronic map and said in a low voice.
“That’s almost half an hour away, and if we march briskly, we can get there in ten minutes at most …… Has the special operations brigade sent word yet?” The young man asked again.
“Not yet.” The young man next to him said.
The young man leading the group pondered for a moment and said, “Alright then, find a hidden place, we’ll take a break for now and be careful not to reveal our target.”
“Yes!” The young man next to him said immediately, and with a wave of his hand, he bellowed lowly, “Find a place to rest! Number nine and ten are in charge of the vigilance!”
Several people quickly found a rock pile that had been weathered and sat down on the leeward side.
“Finally, we’re getting there.” Leaning his back against the not-so-hard rock, the young man in the lead took a sip from his water bottle and said, “Cheer up, we’ll approach as soon as the signal comes from the special operations brigade, everyone pay attention, there are reformers among the opponents this time, be careful.”
“Yes!” The others replied with one voice.
This group of people was none other than Ji Feng and the ten special soldiers of the Red Arrow Brigade he was leading. The one in the lead was naturally Ji Feng, and beside him were the duo of Gu Chao and Liu Xin.
In order to avoid revealing their identities, Ji Feng and the others were addressed by code names to each other. Ji Feng was made sir, Gu Chao was number one, and Liu Xin was number two …… The ten people were arranged in order, from number one to number ten.
The reason why Ji Feng and the others appeared in this Gobi Beach was only to avoid the target being too big and exposed, so this is why they came separately from the special combat brigade led by Xiang Yongzhan, relying on the satellite positioning system and the electronic map for separate operations. According to the previous agreement between Ji Feng and Xiang Yongzhan, this time the battle will have Xiang Yongzhan’s special operations brigade to carry out the main attack, Ji Feng and others are at the side to a*sist, responsible for covering the special operations brigade, as well as catching the fish that do not slip through the net, other than that, there is no need to ask.
Regarding this arrangement, Ji Feng did not have any objection.
This was because he knew that the people in the Special Combat Brigade had already been through a hundred battles and had very rich experience in dealing with reformers, something that the current Red Arrow Brigade lock could not compare to. So in order to learn from the experience, Ji Feng agreed to do so.
In fact, if we were to analyse the two teams purely in terms of their individual combat capabilities, the soldiers of the Red Arrow Brigade were more suitable for a strong attack than those of the Battle Brigade, knowing that since most of the year ago, the soldiers of the Red Arrow Brigade had started practising body-building exercises. Purely in terms of physical fitness, the soldiers of the Special Combat Brigade are slightly inferior to those of the Red Arrow Brigade.
However, on the battlefield, although the ability to fight alone was important, when it came to strong attacks, what was more important was the ability to fight together, which the Red Arrow Brigade did not lack, however, they lacked the experience to deal with that reformer.
Ji Feng could not help but look up at the sky, under this hot sun, even the lizards and some other creatures most suitable for living in the desert did not dare to come out indiscriminately, this kind of environment, I believe the opponent would not be too vigilant, indeed it was the most suitable time to attack.
Moreover, this Gobi beach was extremely full of boulders that had been weathered and the terrain was uneven, which was very conducive to hiding. The route chosen by Xiang Yongzhan and the timing of his attack were extremely precise, so it seemed that he had really put in some hard work.
“No.1, once the battle starts later, if you have the chance, try to capture a few living reformers. Of course, this is if all the brothers can guarantee safety, if that’s not possible, just shoot the other side, safety is the first priority.” Ji Feng admonished.
Gu Chao immediately said, “Sir, please don’t worry, I will try to catch them alive.”
In Gu Chao’s opinion, sir wanted to capture the live ones, probably because he didn’t want the Special Combat Brigade to be exclusive, but no matter what sir’s purpose was, Gu Chao only had one answer – to resolutely carry out the order!
“Also remember one more thing, if you do find a reformer escaping from the Special Operations Brigade’s attack, and thus get into a fight with us, remember that you must not engage in close combat with the other side, and if you can solve it with guns, you must do so, and even if you want to capture one, you must first beat the other side to the point of no fighting ability before you go to capture them, do you hear me! ” Ji Feng once again admonished.
“Yes, sir!” Gu Chao immediately pa*sed Ji Feng’s words down with a special hand gesture, and the others immediately saluted, indicating that they understood and would resolutely carry out the order.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction, although it was only on the plane on the way here that he had improvised the special sign language of the special forces, but with Ji Feng’s horrible memory, he had already memorized all the common sign language, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to command Gu Chao and the others easily.
A leader who does not care about the lives of his men will certainly not be embraced.
It was midday and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and as you looked out over the horizon you could clearly see the heat rising from the ground, as if it were burning in a furnace below. Even Ji Feng, whose body is superbly regulated, could vaguely feel a wave of heat coming over his face, so he could imagine how hot it really was here.
“Drip drip drip ……”
Ji Feng’s watch suddenly rang, he immediately raised his hand to look at it and shouted lowly, “Everyone get ready, our companions have sent a message, prepare to a*sist the attack!”
Zizi~~!
Ji Feng and the others immediately and quickly unzipped the large bags they were carrying, and at the same time, took out their weapons and equipment and camouflage uniforms.
“Ka ka ka!” The sounds rang out at once, incessantly, as everyone was looking down and checking the automatic rifles and other weapon configurations in their hands.
“Drip – drip – drip – !”
Ji Feng’s watch let out another slow chirp, and he instantly looked aghast, Xiang Yongzhan and the others were starting to move!
According to the prior agreement, the sharp chirping of the watch meant that Xiang Yongzhan and the others were close to the target, and once this slow sound was emitted, it meant that they had loved was an attack, and a very stealthy one at that.
“Ta-da-da-da-!” A faint sound of gunfire came, and then there was no more sound.
“Make a move.” Ji Feng instantly looked aghast as he shouted lowly, “All of you, disperse, keep in contact and pay attention to safety!”
After saying that, Ji Feng put his steel helmet on his head and was the first to rush out, holding his automatic rifle, and quickly ran towards the target location shown on his watch.
All those who participated in this operation had a multifunctional military watch with a screen half the size of the palm of their hands. On this watch, there were various functions such as satellite positioning, signal tracking, short-range communication as well as police. Moreover, it was also possible to input an electronic map and set the target, and the satellite navigation would be automatically activated, guiding the owner all the way to the target.
“Go!” Gu Chao waved his hand and rushed out after him.
Ji Feng was all alert and extremely fast, following those weathered boulders in the Gobi and quickly approaching the target. Not far behind him, Gu Chao and Liu Xin and the others followed closely, each on guard.
As Ji Feng and the others went deeper, the environment began to change, and a fault line appeared on the barren Gobi beach.
It was as if a wall had appeared in front of Ji Feng and the others.
The feeling was as if one was walking forward and a straight cliff suddenly appeared in front of them.
Although what Ji Feng and the others had in front of them was not a cliff, it was like a fault in the earth after an earthquake, as if the half of the land in front of them had suddenly risen up to a height of more than ten metres.
Previously, because of the terrain, Ji Feng and the others had not noticed this fault from a distance, but now, this fault had become a major obstacle to their progress.
“Sir, should we go around?” Gu Chao came to the front and said in a low voice, “We don’t have any climbing tools with us, it’s too high to climb up.
”
Ji Feng looked around, the fault stretched for what looked like at least a few miles, so it would be too delayed if they went around it.
Bang!
“Wait a minute.”
Suddenly, Ji Feng was startled, he seemed to hear the sound of a fight.
Ji Feng’s gaze, fell on this huge fault in front of him, and he looked at the fault with consternation, his eyebrows tightened.
“This sound seems to be …… coming from inside the fault?” Ji Feng asked with uncertainty.
