Chapter 976: Spark Attack
Wang Wu said no more and went straight to the point, issuing a formal order:
"Receive Operation Order No. [ZZ00047] from the Joint Operations Department of the War Zone!"
His voice suddenly rose, carrying unquestionable authority:
"Order our unit: Immediately form the 'Night West Operation' advance contact task force (codename: Night West Contact Advance Force)! Rapidly advance to the Lan City area of Gan Province ahead of the official theater delegation to conduct initial contact with the Western Theater Command and pre-establish a secure environment!"
“The specific tasks are as follows:”
Wang Wu's eyes swept across the entire room, and he gave clear instructions one by one:
Mission unit: The entire 2nd Battalion of the Spark Commandos.
Deployment method: Leapfrog tactics were employed under armed helicopter escort. Close air support and fire suppression were provided by Z-10 attack helicopters throughout the deployment, while all personnel were maneuvered aboard Z-20 tactical general-purpose transport helicopters.
Action plan and phased objectives:
Phase 1 (Seizing Longnan): The 1st Squadron of the 2nd Battalion, as the advance assault echelon, immediately board the plane and set off!
Mission: Use force to quickly seize control and eliminate the enemy situation in the Longnan Airport (in Gansu Province) area, and establish a forward relay supply and support base codenamed "Eagle's Nest No. 1"!
Phase 2 (Seizing Nanliang): After the first squadron completes its mission, the second squadron of the second battalion will immediately advance as the second assault echelon, relying on the "Eagle's Nest No. 1" base!
Mission: Seize control of Nanliang Airport (Qingyang) by force and ensure its safety, and establish a forward relay supply and support base codenamed "Eagle's Nest No. 2"!
Phase Three (Seizing Silver): After the Second Squadron completes its mission, the Third Squadron of the Second Battalion will serve as the third assault echelon, relying on the "Eagle's Nest No. 2" base, and move forward to carry out the mission!
Mission: Seize the Baiyin General Airport (Longdong) area by force and establish a forward relay supply and support base codenamed "Eagle's Nest No. 3"!
Final mission: After ensuring the safety of the above three forward bases (Eagle's Nest No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3) and forming an effective support chain, the Fourth Squadron of the Second Battalion will be responsible for escorting me from the "Eagle's Nest No. 3" base directly to the final mission area - Lan City, Gan Province!
Carry out pre-contact contact mission with the 76th Corps of the Western Theater Command! "
"Three points form a line, advancing step by step, straight to the goal!" Finally, Wang Wu summed up the essence of the entire operation in one sentence, his voice firm and decisive:
"Did you hear everything clearly?!"
"clear!"
"Clear!"
"Alright, now immediately divide into groups according to your mission and go to the road outside the camp to pick up your exoskeleton gear. The first echelon, the Longnan echelon, must attack before dawn at the latest!"
As soon as the words fell, all the Fire Commandos in the audience were shocked again!
Exoskeletons! There are exoskeletons?! According to rumors, weren't they all given to the "ground network troops"?
This news made all the soldiers, even though they had just seen the exoskeleton Wang Wu was wearing, not dare to think too much about whether this mission would be equipped with it...
After all, it's said that there is no such thing, but the director of the General Equipment Department of the Logistics Department said it himself...
But he didn't expect his old captain to be so capable? The general assembly department said they had no more, but he still managed to find hundreds of sets?
As expected of a member of the Spark Commando Team, he can thrive anywhere!
Facing the soldiers' incredulous and surprised looks, Wang Wu felt very happy. In one word, it was "awesome"!
As the saying goes, wealth and honor don't return to one's hometown, just like walking in the night in fine clothes. It's a rare opportunity to return to his old workplace, so shouldn't he try his best to show off? Maybe give his old workplace some benefits?
In this way, half of the entire Spark Commando Force is equipped with exoskeletons, further consolidating its leading position in the war zone system!
As for 'What? The exoskeleton is gone?'
"I, Wang Wu, the representative of the military branch in the theater, will take you to the director of your institute!"
...
about an hour later
Bright lights as bright as day covered the Fire Commandos' Yonggu Airport. Huge beams of light pierced the darkness, causing the air to distort and evaporate.
Tengtengtengteng————
Amidst the loud sounds of breaking through the air, the huge rotors of dozens of Z-20 tactical general-purpose helicopters began to rotate at an accelerated speed.
The red anti-collision lights on the wingtips drew dazzling scarlet halos as they spun rapidly, like the open compound eyes of a devil.
The escorting Z-10 armed attack helicopter crouched with a ferocious figure, the rocket pods and anti-tank missiles mounted under the short wings reflected a cold metallic luster, the muzzle of the multi-barrel machine gun under the nose was deep, and the navigation lights on the fuselage flashed a cold green light.
At the edge of the apron, the guide holding a high-intensity strobe signal stick, like a firefly in the dark, drew a series of eye-catching light tracks with precise and powerful movements, guiding the soldiers who were pouring in like a torrent.
Tap tap tap tap~
Accompanied by dense and majestic footsteps, four "torrents" of people wearing the latest starry sky digital camouflage training uniforms, carrying huge combat backpacks, and with exoskeleton frames shining with a cold and hard metallic luster in the weak light, are rushing into the airport!
The IR friend-or-foe identification lights on the soldiers (visible only through night vision goggles) are almost invisible under strong light, but in the field of view of night vision goggles, they flash densely on the camouflage uniforms like stars, marking every individual moving at high speed.
At a certain moment, the scene seemed to be distorted at the junction of light and darkness, and the rushing torrent seemed to be the arrival of the future!
...
buzzing-
The sharp whistling sound of the rotor cutting through the air is the main melody of this symphony, which quickly rises from a low hum to a heart-wrenching, deafening roar!
The roars of dozens of turboshaft engines running at full power added together to form a low-frequency sound wave that was enough to shake the internal organs, and even the air was vibrating violently!
"Buzz——Woo——!!!" The roar of the engine continued, drowning out all other sounds.
The hissing of the hydraulic actuators in the soldiers' exoskeletons as they ran, the clatter of equipment colliding, the metallic clang of hatches opening and closing, and the rapid yet clear conversations between the pilots and ground crew through their headsets...
All the tiny sounds were ruthlessly swallowed by the huge rotor storm—
Each soldier was like a part of an efficient war machine, running at high speed amid bright lights and deafening noise.
