Code Name God, First Combat Mission

Zhao Yan landed at the brigade headquarters of Sharp Sword Special Operations Brigade.

To maintain secrecy, Hidden Sword was nominally subordinate to the logistics unit of Sharp Sword Special Operations Brigade, responsible for guarding warehouses.

But in fact, these soldiers who appeared to be logistical personnel were the heart of the entire Sharp Sword Special Operations Brigade.

The finest swords hidden within Sharp Sword, usually sheathed, but when drawn, they swiftly cut throats – they were Hidden Sword.

After getting off the plane, they took a vehicle to a camp deep in the jungle – this was Hidden Sword’s camp.

A group of people were already waiting there.

“Let me introduce, new A Team sniper Li Fei, you all must have seen him on the news, not unfamiliar right.” Luo Siming pointed at Zhao Yan and said to everyone.

“Heh heh, of course not unfamiliar. With that speed he takes shots, no one in our team can compare right?”

“But Captain, a sniper still mainly relies on marksmanship, isn’t he too green in that area?”

“Yeah, he’s joining A Team directly, if we get dispatched on a mission right away, will he be going out too?”

Everyone had no doubts about Zhao Yan’s combat abilities, but shooting was different from hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing this, the corner of Luo Siming’s mouth twitched. He didn’t really want to answer questions regarding Zhao Yan’s shooting skills.

Seeing his reaction, Wu Tian smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that, Li Fei has exceptional natural talent in marksmanship. On his first live fire exercise, he scored three 10-ring shots. Also according to data from the recruit camp, his physical abilities are above average compared to everyone.”

“Psshhh—”

Everyone sucked in a breath, making a minuscule contribution to global climate change.

“This...this is confirmed a new recruit?”

“Damn, this is too badass!”

“No wonder he could join the team directly. Better at combat than us, stronger physical abilities than us, marksmanship just as good, after some training he’ll be a qualified warrior!”

Everyone instantly dismissed all doubts, happy to have such a capable comrade-in-arms join the team.

“Alright, you guys can get to know each other slowly later. A Team, introduce yourselves.” Wu Tian said.

A youth of medium build and stern looks was the first to step forward, “Zheng Chong, A Team spotter, also your partner from now on, codename Razor.”

“Meng Hui, deputy team leader, second assault trooper, codename Sun.”

“Zhou Ping, medic, codename Miracle Medicine.”

“Gao Yun, demolitions specialist, codename Meteorite.”

“Liu Qing, fire support, codename Fierce Fang.”

After everyone’s introductions, Wu Tian gave Zhao Yan a more detailed self-introduction: “A Team leader, also first assault trooper, codename Shadow.”

Hidden Sword squads consisted of 7 men.

There were a total of three ABC action squads, plus additional technical support and logistical personnel.

“Then should I come up with a codename too...” Zhao Yan pondered briefly, then said, “Just call me God.”

God, who can give life, can also deal death.

The life and death of his enemies were in his hands.

Everyone: “......”

Damn, you really dared to take that name, don’t you know it’ll attract a ton of enemy fire?

Faced with everyone’s shocked stares, Zhao Yan revealed a dazzling smile and explained, “I have tough luck.”

His luck was just as hard as his strong points!

And had great endurance too!

And so, ahead of schedule, Zhao Yan finished new recruit training and became the A Team sniper of Hidden Sword squad, with the previously approved top merit already conferring the military rank of Second Lieutenant. He embarked on his special forces career.

The days that followed consisted of all kinds of tactical training and theoretical study.

After enhancement by advanced strengthening drugs, his memory, perception, everything was comprehensively evolved. His entire person was like a super instrument.

Photographic memory, learning things instantly.

He successfully allowed his instructors to knock off work early.

Every instructor before leaving would exclaim that Zhao Yan was definitely a peerless military genius in the world.

A killing weapon, born for war.

In the blink of an eye, half the exchange period passed.

On this day, after Zhao Yan finished his daily warmup of one thousand pull-ups, he was playing cards with his teammates when he suddenly received an emergency assembly order.

Everyone instantly got up and fully armed themselves, arriving at the parade ground below the barracks in two minutes.

Luo Siming was already waiting for them there.

“Atten-tion!” “At ease!”

Luo Siming had his hands behind his back, his expression solemn, his tone steady as he spoke, “We just received intelligence that a group of extremely vicious foreign hostile forces entered our border to conduct transactions with drug dealers. Higher ordered us to intercept all the criminals within our borders!”

“Yes sir!” Everyone answered in unison.

Luo Siming checked his watch: “Move out! I wish everyone success in your mission, I’ll be waiting to celebrate with you.”

The seven boarded a Warrior helicopter heading towards the border.

“God, it’s your first battle, afraid?”

Deputy team leader Meng Hui asked Zhao Yan.

“I’m fucking called God, do you think I’d be afraid?” Zhao Yan bit into a biscuit and replied.

The others instantly laughed.

Team leader Wu Tian reined in his smile and said, “Enough, inspect your weapons and standby to parachute any time.”

Arriving at the designated position, assault troops Meng Hui and Wu Tian jumped first, the others following after.

“Safe, clear to advance.”

Wu Tian knelt on one knee, weapon raised surveilling their surroundings.

The seven then advanced in combat formation.

“Zi zi~ zi zi zi~”

Suddenly, after advancing about ten-plus minutes, everyone’s earpieces emitted electrical static.

“What’s going on?” Everyone was shocked.

“HQ, Shadow calling HQ, respond please, respond please, HQ, HQ.”

After calling HQ several times with no response, Wu Tian’s expression became extremely grave, “Comms signals are being jammed, something’s wrong with this op.”

Everyone felt their hearts sink.

Signals already blocked so soon after insertion, it meant the enemy was prepared. More likely this whole thing was a trap to begin with.

“Leader, should we abort?” Meng Hui asked.

Wu Tian shook his head, “Don’t forget, our orders are to intercept all the criminals within our borders.”

“Then keep advancing.” Zhao Yan said.

“Continue advance, increase vigilance!”

At the same time, Hidden Sword special task force HQ also discovered that A Team lost contact, immediately dispatching reinforcements. But it would take some time for them to arrive.

Deep in the border forest, a squat middle-aged Xia Guo man took long puffs on a cigar, gently caressing a photo in his hand – the youth in the picture bore some resemblance to him.

“Boss, the fish took the bait.” A fully armed white man walked up to the middle-aged man’s side.

The middle-aged man exhaled some smoke, the knuckles on the hand rubbing the photo subtly whitening: “Then start pulling in the net, kill them for my son’s funeral!”

Just over a month ago his son, who started from nothing dealing ice in Xia Guo, was shot dead during an arrest.

He exhausted all domestic and foreign connections before finding the culprit, then spent money setting up this trap, to get revenge for his son!

“Yes boss!” The white soldier laughed in acknowledgment, then waved a hand, “Go, go go!”

A squad of heavily armed international mercenaries and a bunch of SE Asian drug dealers wielding guns fanned out in all directions.

The middle-aged man sat down and took out his phone, watching a video of his son over and over. Around him another dozen or so SE Asian faces brandishing rifles were responsible for protecting his safety.
