Chapter 895: Chapter 402: Nighttime Infiltration (Part 2)

"Three, two, one..."

Gu Ji and Gong Qingyong simultaneously counted down in their tactical earpieces.

At the moment the last number was shouted.

Two dogs suddenly darted from the bushes, followed by the shepherd uncle.

"Take action!!"

In an instant, Gao Bo, who had long been prepared, leaped forward without hesitation, lunging like a wild monkey swinging from branches in the mountains, pinning the target to the ground, "Don’t move! Stay still!"

"Uh! Uh!"

"Zhuang Feng, help me translate to him! Tell him to stop shouting!"

The shepherd uncle struggled desperately, but he was no match for Gao Bo, and immediately had his mouth and nose covered, his left hand locked with a joint lock behind his back.

Seeing its master in danger, the hunting dog he raised immediately abandoned its pursuit.

It had just turned around when it was bitten on the neck from behind by a venomous dog, pinned to the ground.

"Venomous dog! Stop!"

Gu Ji hurried to stop the venomous dog from further biting, in case the shepherd was innocent, harming his hunting dog would be wrong. "Team Three successfully captured the target alive!"

"We’ve succeeded here too!"

Soon, Gong Qingyong came over leading a Persian child.

Zhuang Feng and Miliburn squatted in front of the two shepherds, one questioning their identity, the other responsible for translating explanations.

Upon Miliburn showing his credentials, the shepherd uncle assured he wouldn’t shout randomly, prompting Gao Bo to release him.

After some questioning.

Both shepherds claimed to be ordinary villagers, as for Shalam extremists, they mistakenly thought they were anti-government militants hiding in the village to demand rights from Iranian authorities.

"Ask them if they’ve seen the three hostages kidnapped, and how many enemy forces there are and their firepower configuration."

As Gu Ji arranged Zhuang Feng to question them, he was also carefully scrutinizing the two.

Just as night had fallen, Gu Ji couldn’t deduce anything wrong with the shepherd uncle, but the child captured by Team Two kept staring at their AK-103 rifles.

Zhuang Feng shook his head.

"They didn’t notice either, only mentioned capturing a few people, and didn’t pay attention to weapons."

"Since their identities are not problematic, what should we do next, let them go?"

Liu Weijun asked while glancing intentionally at Miliburn.

After all, Miliburn was a liaison agent sent by Iran, also considered a supervisor; although Liu didn’t want to release them, on foreign soil, certain attitudes had to be catered to.

Gong Qingyong did not speak.

Instead, Gu Ji commanded Gao Bo and Wu Kang decisively.

"We can’t be 100% certain about identities; letting them go is too risky. In extreme times, we employ extreme measures. Take away their phones, tie them separately to trees, and after the mission ends, we’ll come back and untie them."

He said this without minding Miliburn at all.

In fact, Miliburn indeed said nothing, not even showing a hint of expression.

For a special agent in the intelligence system, conducting secret operations often requires them to act even more ruthlessly than Gu Ji.

Yet Gong Qingyong’s eyelid twitched slightly.

Only now did he understand why Liu Weijun, despite already being a captain, willingly handed all the command to someone else, why Captains Li Ruilin and Lei Wanshan valued this newly permanent special police officer so heavily.

Setting aside Gu Ji’s genius-like tactical thinking.

He inherently possessed a certain charisma.

Calm and decisive at critical moments, willing to take responsibility, he embodied the quintessential image of a captain.

To be honest, even he, Gong Qingyong, wouldn’t dare blatantly announce tying up Iranian civilians in front of someone from the Iranian Security Department.

This kid really is daring!

After handling the situation, Gu Ji looked up at the stars in the sky.

"Time is about right, let’s head to the observation point at the hilltop quickly!"

"Yes!"

The group responded softly, once again advancing towards the hilltop in a tactical double column formation.

Five minutes later.

Gu Ji and his team finally arrived at the hilltop location.

This was the spot where Ah Ming secretly monitored Shalam during the day.

Everyone sought suitable positions for reconnaissance and guarding.

Liu Weijun hid behind the large rock Ah Ming had been at, took out a monocular, and carefully observed the village 500 meters below the slope.

It was a village surrounded by mountains, with about a dozen households, primarily self-built cement houses, single rooms, and two-story structures.

In the nighttime village, human figures were sparse.

The only thing Liu Weijun noted was an armed thug holding an AK-47 standing atop a building in the village center.

"It’s too dark, I only spotted one sentry, on the roof of the fifth central house."

"At the village gate’s big iron gate, seems like there’s someone too, unsure if they’re extremists."

Zhou Yang, with his right eye glued to the scope, added a comment.

"Hmm..."

Just as Gao Bo was about to turn his head to ask Gu Ji for the next move.

Unexpectedly, somehow, the venomous dog beside him suddenly lowered its body, turned to face the forest behind, ears and tail raised high, ready to confront an enemy.

"What’s up with the venomous dog, Wu Kang, anything happening behind?"

"Didn’t see..."

Wu Kang, responsible for rear guard, had prepared to say everything was fine when he noticed a dark shadow rapidly heading towards the hilltop from the forest.

"It’s the hunting dog! Venomous dog!!"

Gu Ji’s eye twitched, a cold light flashed through his eyes.

In an instant, the venomous dog shot out like an air defense interception system, pursuing the shadow from an angle, pouncing on it.

"Groan... Groan..."

"Hmm! Hmm!"

Hit!

Gu Ji’s men quickly dashed to near the venomous dog under the cover of the trees.

They saw the hunting dog’s throat already bitten bloody by the venomous dog, only able to let out weak whimpers.

"Was it trying to alert the enemy?"

Gao Bo was baffled by why the hunting dog suddenly returned, and it had clearly run towards the village down the slope.

"Exactly, if not for the venomous dog’s quick action, this infiltration mission would be ruined!"

Gu Ji pulled out a military dagger from his tactical belt, shadows of killing intent flashing in his eyes, promptly plunging it into the hunting dog’s neck.

Now it was completely dead silent.

"Damn it, those two dared to deceive us, should I go back and knock them unconscious?"

Gao Bo couldn’t help but curse.

"The two sentries are tied up hand, foot, and mouth, can’t cause any trouble, we should prioritize the mission, dealing with them later won’t be too late."

Gong Qingyong’s words intended to pacify Gao Bo, but his gaze turned to Gu Ji.

Luckily he didn’t interrupt.

This kid’s observation and sensitivity indeed were strong.

"Mr. Gong, we need to set up dual sniper posts and reconnaissance stations at the hilltop observation point, the rest will infiltrate the village, aiming for a silent assault!"

"No problem, our team’s ’Water Pipe’ can stay."

The name Gong Qingyong mentioned referred to their team sniper’s codename.

Returning to the observation point, Gu Ji arranged for Zhou Yang and Zhao Hua to stay, "Zhou Yang, we’ll rely on you for support within the village, Zhao Hua, your task is to work with Zhou Yang for observation, and also pay attention to other mountainous areas."

"Other mountainous areas?"

Wu Kang questioned.

"Extreme organizations often rely on manpower advantage, just a precaution."

Gu Ji casually gave a reason.

Actually, he was worried about enemy reinforcements.

Since Baron could detect PM Mercenaries and extremists contacting elsewhere, it indicated that the armed thugs Shalam infiltrated into Iran weren’t limited to those in the present village!

"Alright, leave it to me!"

Zhao Hua nodded earnestly.

"Mr. Gong."

"I’ve finished the arrangements, we can start the infiltration operation."

"Alright, everyone, move out!"

...

"I didn’t expect, this kid directing the team is getting more and more proficient."

Back in China, at the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team command center of Ningzhou City Bureau, Li Ruilin listened to Liu Weijun’s radio report, learning that Gu Ji had preemptively tied up the shepherds to prevent enemy detection, he couldn’t help but remark.

"But, this mission likely won’t be that simple!"
