"For special operations, accurate intelligence is a prerequisite; otherwise, it's sending people to hell. Right now, they lack sufficiently accurate information, so the only option is a surprise attack."

"You expect them to overcome all the obstacles based on their individual combat capabilities?"

Fang Zhenhua nodded.

Time ticked by, and the gunshots drew ever closer to the captain's cabin.

"It seems their operation went very smoothly."

"This kind of close-quarters indoor combat should be a specialty of special forces."

After some time, the door to the captain's cabin was suddenly flung open. Fang Zhenhua moved with incredible speed, raised his pistol, and fired a burst of shots.

Outside the cabin, a series of gunshots rang out. Fang Zhenhua was surprised to find smoke rising from his body.

At the cabin door, smoke was rising from Gao Dazhuang and Mada's bodies.

Seeing this, He Zhijun couldn't help but clap his hands.

"It's beautiful, so beautiful, but how do we calculate it now?"

Fang Zhenhua questioned Gao Dazhuang and Ma Da.

"Where are the people outside?"

"It's all taken care of," Gao Dazhuang replied, but he quickly lowered his head and said somewhat dejectedly.

"There are only two of us left in the entire unit."

"You win."

Gao Dazhuang and Mada suddenly looked up, their faces filled with shock.

"Everyone, assemble on the deck."

After the twenty-four special forces soldiers gathered on the deck, Fang Zhenhua spoke with his hands behind his back.

"The last two of you perished with me, which means there are no enemies left on this ship, the hostages are safe, so you have won."

"I want to tell you that as special forces, even if everyone is killed, as long as the mission is completed, you have succeeded. For special forces, mission completion is the only achievement. The process doesn't matter, only the result matters."

"Next mission: airdrop behind enemy lines to destroy enemy facilities."

The special forces soldiers also performed exceptionally well in the last two tasks, because they always remembered one requirement: the mission is the only requirement for special forces, and mission completion is the only victory.

Special forces will stop at nothing to accomplish their missions.

When everyone gathered again at the Wolf Fang Special Forces training base, it also meant that the 28-week Shadow Tempering training had come to an end.

Looking at the transformed special forces soldiers, Fang Zhenhua finally smiled this time, and this time, his smile was without malice.

"Congratulations on completing your final training. You are now qualified special forces soldiers."

Everyone was expressionless, seemingly not taking it seriously. No one knew how much they had suffered during those 28 weeks.

"All of you, stand at attention."

At Fang Zhenhua's command, all the special forces soldiers straightened their chests.

At this moment, Fang Zhenhua shouted loudly.

"I want all of you to know that you are soldiers of the Wolf Fang Special Forces."

"We also want all our enemies to know that the warriors of the Wolf Fang Special Forces are heroes from hell."

"We want the name of Wolf Fang to resound throughout the enemy ranks. We want every enemy to tremble with fear at the mere mention of the name Wolf Fang. Are you confident?"

The first batch of twenty-four soldiers roared in unison.

"Have confidence."

After the Wolf Fang Special Forces completed all their training, they embarked on their first mission.

Chapter 30 First Operation

It was September 1982.

Less than three months after the Wolf Fang Special Forces completed all their training, the military region issued its order.

Fang Zhenhua really didn't expect that the military region leaders would order them to take action so quickly.

According to his estimate, it would take at least another six months of training to solidify the soldiers' skills.

It was only in 1983 that it was more prudent to go into actual combat.

But for the leaders of the military region, they couldn't wait any longer.

Because headquarters calls every few days to inquire about the special forces' training progress and whether they are ready for actual combat.

The reason is quite simple: troops that cannot fight in actual combat are just for show, good to look at but useless.

Only troops capable of real combat and truly fighting tough battles can serve as a shield for the motherland and the people.

The military region kept suppressing Fang Zhenhua, but once the Wolf Fang Special Forces completed all their training, the military region could no longer keep him in check.

Therefore, the leaders assigned a mission to the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade, which was conveyed by Lei Zhen, the deputy commander of the Southwest Military Region.

The Vietnamese army had an armory in the Lao Cai area, which served as a forward base for the enemy to attack our defense line.

Therefore, the mission of the Wolf Fang Special Forces is to completely destroy this armory.

Not only must the mission be successfully completed, but a swift and safe retreat must also be taken, leaving the enemy no time to react and preventing them from knowing who did it.

Deep behind enemy lines to destroy key enemy facilities—this mission perfectly aligns with the operational doctrine of special forces.

Lei Zhen directly told Fang Zhenhua that if they couldn't even complete this mission, then the existence of their Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade would be meaningless.

This not only made Fang Zhenhua feel resentful, but when the news spread throughout the entire Wolf Fang Special Forces, all the soldiers were also extremely indignant.

Only they themselves know best how much sweat and effort they put in to complete the trials and training.

It's fair to say that their individual combat capabilities have greatly improved. If it were them in the past, they wouldn't dare say they could take on ten people, but taking on five or six wouldn't be a problem.

It should be noted that they were originally elites in the military, belonging to the Class A units, while special forces are even more formidable than Class A units.

Therefore, when Fang Zhenhua said these words to all the soldiers, he received an exceptionally strong response.

"Everyone is watching our Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade now. They want to know if the country's investment has been wasted. Warriors, please tell me, what are we?"

"We are warriors of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, heroes from hell. Any enemy who dares to stand in our way will be torn to shreds by us."

"Very good, very energetic."

The soldiers' unanimous response delighted Fang Zhenhua.

His meticulously prepared plan had not been in vain; now it was time to bring it out and let those enemies know that a pack of ferocious wolves had their eyes on them.

"Everyone, pack your equipment and three days' worth of rations. After completing the mission, return immediately. This time, I will personally lead the team."

Upon hearing the news that Fang Zhenhua would personally lead the team, the soldiers' morale soared.

The alpha wolf in a pack is the most terrifying fighter.

However, He Zhijun was somewhat worried, and he took an opportunity to speak to Fang Zhenhua.

"Old Fang, you are the soul of our Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade. Let me lead this operation!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhenhua shook his head and directly rejected He Zhijun's suggestion.

"Old He, I will not only lead the team myself this time, but you will also come along. This is the first real combat operation for our Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade, and we must be determined to fight to the death."

"So this time we're going to mobilize all our forces and fight a brilliant battle, so that everyone who's waiting to see us fail will know that special forces are special forces, and no one can replace them."

Sometimes He Zhijun had to admit that Lao Fang was a master at bewitching people.

His art of speaking is so sophisticated; he always manages to stir up people's passion.

Even though I'm over thirty, I'm still very inspired by Fang Zhenhua's words.

Shaking his head and chuckling, He Zhijun finally agreed, but then he brought up another matter.

"I heard that the military region will send a deputy political commissar after this operation?"

"Yes! As long as we successfully complete this operation, our Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade will be promoted to a deputy regimental level unit. Lao He, the future of this unit depends on this battle."

"Don't worry! I will definitely cooperate with you to win this battle."

The Wolf Fang Special Forces deployed all four of their special operations teams, equipped with their best gear, including Type 81 assault rifles and Type 79 sniper rifles.

The Type 79 sniper rifle is a copy of the Russian Dragunov, but according to Fang Zhenhua's requirements, the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade made some improvements to the Type 79 sniper rifle.

A muffler can be installed.

As a sniper, having a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer after concealing yourself can greatly improve your survival rate on the battlefield.

The entire Wolf Fang Special Forces team set off under the cover of night, and they were used to traveling at night, which was commonplace for them.

They quickly found their way to the side of the old street by taking advantage of the surroundings.

Fang Zhenhua found a secluded cave in the nearby mountains and then summoned the leaders of the four special operations teams to discuss the specific plan for the operation.

The topographic map of the target's surroundings was placed on the ground; this intelligence was obtained by the military region and its reliability is guaranteed.

Special forces soldiers are not gods; no special forces unit in the world can complete a mission without intelligence.

"In this operation, I will lead Lone Wolf Team A and Team B to carry out the surprise attack and demolition, while Wolf Head will lead War Wolf Team A and Team B to provide support. Snipers will occupy high ground and be ready to take out targets at the first sign of trouble."

"any questions?"

At such a critical moment, no one would say anything wrong. All they had to do was obey, obey, and obey absolutely.

Although they already had intelligence, as special forces, they could not blindly trust the intelligence; they also had to make their own judgments, which meant conducting on-site reconnaissance.

Fang Zhenhua and his men split up, all dressed as ordinary civilians, and dispersed to the vicinity of the old street armory to investigate the facilities around it.

For example, whether there are high-powered searchlights, whether the searchlights have blind spots, approximately how many troops are there, and what the situation is like on duty and guarding. These are all things that special forces soldiers need to investigate in person.

There's no rush to take action. Once all the preparatory work is completed, that's when the special forces should get to work.

Following Fang Zhenhua's instructions, the Wolf Fang soldiers thoroughly investigated the situation around the armory.

There were high-powered searchlights, but perhaps the enemy wasn't thinking straight, because the searchlights stopped working late at night, maybe because the enemy was already asleep.

The enemy's defenses were not weak, numbering roughly a company, divided into three shifts. However, there was a half-hour gap between each shift change.

Therefore, the most suitable time to infiltrate is between midnight and 12:30 am.

During this half hour, the enemy's searchlights will not be turned on, and there will be no guards. The entire armory is like a naked beauty, waiting for the Wolf Fang warriors to enter at will.

After obtaining this crucial information, Fang Zhenhua immediately organized an operation.

Wolf Warriors Group A and Group B formed two lines of defense, one in front and one behind.

Meanwhile, Lone Wolf Teams A and B split into two groups, infiltrating the armory from the north and west.

The demolition expert of Lone Wolf Team A was Miao Lang, who later became Miao Lian.

The demolition expert for Lone Wolf Team B is Dire Wolf, a man from Northeast China.

Lone Wolf Team A is the strongest in the entire Wolf Fang Special Forces, so they are responsible for advancing from the west, while Fang Zhenhua personally leads Lone Wolf Team B to raid from the north.

Under the cover of darkness, they slowly approached the armory, and around midnight, the searchlights that had been turned on were turned off.

At exactly 12 o'clock, a group of more than 30 enemy soldiers came out of the armory and then left, leaving the armory completely silent.

Fang Zhenhua immediately led the Lone Wolf B team into action, while the A team, as scheduled, began to infiltrate from the west.

The two special operations teams eventually met up in the armory.

Fang Zhenhua ordered everyone to place explosives in various parts of the armory, especially on top of the ammunition boxes, to ensure that the armory could be 100% destroyed.

The soldiers quickly placed the explosives, and Fang Zhenhua immediately ordered them to evacuate, while he, along with Miao Lang and Dire Wolf, undertook the final demolition task.

Dragging the fuse all the way outside the armory, and after ensuring a safe distance and that everyone else had evacuated, Miao Lang and Dire Wolf pressed the detonator in their hands.

As the power was applied to the wires, a series of deafening explosions soon followed.

"Retreat, retreat."

Fang Zhenhua called to Miao Lang and Dire Wolf, and they immediately retreated.

They caught up with groups A and B as quickly as possible, and then joined up with the two Wolf Warrior groups responsible for providing support, and together they withdrew back to China.

The entire operation was swift and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.

An enemy arsenal was thus reduced to nothing.
