The Special Forces equipped with jetpacks did not imdiately begin their mission upon arriving at the designated location. Instead, they quietly waited in the standby area for the special squad that would act alongside them.
This ti, the capture mission’s location differed from the previous one. It was not in the city but chosen on a battlefield along the defense line.
"What is the command thinking, trying to capture prisoners directly on the battlefield? Can we actually capture anything?" a soldier, while advancing, quietly spoke in the squad channel.
Since it was a complaint, he only dared to voice it in the squad channel and not the area channel that covered the entire war zone, let alone the command channel where only the Commander could speak.
However, because only his tactical squad could hear the squad channel, speaking was sowhat less worriso, allowing them to vent their frustrations.
"I suppose it’s to avoid what happened last ti? I heard that they deployed an armored unit and a Titan combat squad to try capturing prisoners in the city, but the aliens attacked directly, nearly breaking through." A more inford teammate whispered an update of the news in the squad channel.
Though on the battlefield, the usual ironclad discipline and rigorous training ant they were far beyond amateur levels that chit-chat before missions.
But now, being ready behind their defense line, with orders from the command channel to rest and wait, chatting a little wouldn’t violate discipline.
"Those alien beasts!" soone couldn’t help but curse.
But what concerned everyone more was their current mission. Though they had all heard the mission briefing, knowing this ti’s task involved the comrades at the front defense line opening a gap, letting a small number of alien creatures through. Then, they would deploy a pocket formation behind the line with another special squad to capture as many of these alien creatures as possible, and help seal the gap thereafter.
This strategy still led to concerns; what if the defense line truly breaks and is breached?
However, such matters were beyond what they should consider. If an accident occurred, the most they could do would be to drive the alien creatures back.
"Speaking of which, this new equipnt is really handy! It feels like flying when using it." The topic quickly shifted to the jetpack, a new piece of equipnt they had received for this mission.
Though unfamiliar with this equipnt, issued before the mission, and unsure of its usage, the Special Forces were highly satisfied with it.
Having experienced real battles, they naturally understood how beneficial an item like this super-jumping equipnt could be on the battlefield.
Used properly, it could an an extra life at a critical mont.
With this item, many tactics and operations could change completely, offering more strategic options.
"If only we had gotten these jetpacks earlier, Dongzi and the others might not have sacrificed themselves." As they chatted, the discussion inevitably turned to fallen comrades, regrettably recalling that if only such equipnt were available earlier, several comrades might have survived.
Yet such talk was re lant; as soldiers, perhaps they hadn’t prepared for martyrdom from day one, but as Special Forces, each mission involved readiness to die for the nation.
"Don’t say such things. We weren’t capable back then. Otherwise, even without advanced equipnt, we could have rescued Dongzi and the others." Trusted comrades, knowing each other well, had no taboos discussing past events, hence spoke frankly.
This, however, cast a bit of a somber mood, quieting everyone.
They waited a while before the arrival of the special squad was transported by several helicopters to the scene.
Seeing the team brought by helicopters, the Special Forces couldn’t help but show surprise.
They had assud the jetpacks they received were the new equipnt deployed for this mission, but unexpectedly they were rely secondary; the actual new equipnt was with this special squad.
Eight brand-new Titan special models were transported by four specially-designed Titan transport aircraft. After the locks were disengaged, the Titans were directly dropped onto the ground.
Looking at the eight Titans, whose color and design were entirely distinct from regular Titans, the Special Forces couldn’t help but wonder when these items were secretly developed?
Though in earlier phases, when Chen Xin deployed Titans in the Southwest Region for disaster relief, there were indeed various types with abundant features. However, once Titans began mass production and deploynt, the models and paint sches were swiftly unified, eliminating previous chaos.
It’s only at the Research Center where new model studies are conducted, that so experintal models are created for testing.
But now, during warti, with the deploynt en masse of visibly non-mass-produced Titans, it’s tough not to consider them secret weapons or special units.
Soone even whispered internally about whether the nation was testing new equipnt in this.
Despite being Special Forces, they had indeed tested many pieces of equipnt for the nation, yet never had they conducted tests in real battle with unseen equipnt, especially when teammates were glamd up, making Special Forces wary.
For security reasons, the details of Titan equipnt used by the special squad were only known by the Special Forces Commander, without informing the rank-and-file soldiers.
Having higher command, the ground units need only follow orders.
The Special Forces Commander had a brief exchange with the special squad’s leader; the battle plan had previously been drafted by higher-ups and given to them, and with a clear mission this ti, they interacted mainly for coordination during combat.
Once confird, with both units readied, the Special Forces Commander led his soldiers into a preset position, readying for combat.
anwhile, the special squad’s eight Titans closed in on the defense line, preparing to seal the line and execute the final capture once allowing the alien creatures in.
Once ready, the troops on the front defense line also received notification, preparing to open a gap in the defense line.
