Volume One, Chapter 18: Becoming the Core of the Operation, Successfully Breaking Through the Enemy's Blockade!

Clatter, clatter, clatter—
Clatter, clatter, clatter—

“What’s going on with that guy? How does he have the guts to charge into our position alone? Who gave him that courage?”
“Cut the nonsense! He’s already taken out the strength of three of our platoons. Stop him now!”
“This is insane! We’ve got over a hundred guns aimed at him—how are we missing every shot?”
“Damn it, run! He’s coming this way!”

Faced with Han Cheng’s sudden incursion, all the officers and soldiers at Rebel Force 39 were utterly stunned, completely dumbfounded.

At first, they wanted to ask: who gave a man the courage to invade a position held by hundreds alone?

But after several minutes of combat, they dared not ask anymore, for they realized this intruding enemy was not only brave but exuded an inexplicable aura of invincible dominance!

Hundreds of them were powerless against just one man—wasn’t that the very definition of invincibility?

Clatter, clatter—
“Ding! KDA +3!”
“Ding! KDA +3!”
“Ding! KDA +3!”
Clatter, clatter—
“Ding! KDA +3!”
“Ding! KDA +3!”
“Ding! KDA +3!”
Clatter, clatter, clatter—
“...”
“Woohoo!”

Han Cheng, clutching his gun, fought alone in the enemy ranks, shouting wildly as he fired relentlessly.

When bullets came his way, he relied on his SS-level precognitive senses to anticipate and his S-level masterful agility to dodge.

When the enemy’s ammo ran out, he scavenged from the fallen.

His weapons and ammunition seemed inexhaustible; his speed so swift that his firing never paused.

But as the battle raged on, Han Cheng suddenly sensed something was wrong and glanced around in shock: “Damn, where are my teammates?”

Realizing no one was nearby, he immediately panicked: “This is bad!”

He must have charged too fast, leaving his comrades behind. This was a disaster.

Seeing the enemy’s overwhelming numbers, Han Cheng steeled himself and bit the bullet, activating a one-hour triple KDA efficiency card!

His sole goal was to rack up as many KDA points as possible during this blockade battle!

For KDA points, Han Cheng unleashed his full strength right from the start!

With his SS-level infinite stamina talent boosting his endurance, he charged forward more fiercely than ever.

But that very charge split his formation and separated him from his teammates.

Now, that limited-time one-hour triple KDA bonus was bound to be wasted!

Just as Han Cheng lamented this, a system alert sounded in his ear:

“Ding! KDA +0.15!”
“Ding! KDA +0.15!”
“Ding! KDA +0.15!”
“Ding! KDA +0.15!”
“Ding! KDA +0.15!”
“...”

The ongoing alerts meant his squad was still fighting the enemy.

So even if his teammates hadn’t kept up, Han Cheng could accept that.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Rodson, commander of the Seventh Mercenary Corps, was as usual lecturing Lieutenant Sankel, leader of the Third Mercenary Platoon.

“Look at you, always like this. Why do you envy Long so much?”

Sankel struggled to respond, “Sir...”

“This is a critical moment in the battle; I don’t have time for your excuses. Lieutenant Sankel, I’m telling you: Long and his unit are our last hope.”

“They are the only force that has penetrated vertically into the enemy’s ranks. I order you to fully cooperate with Long and his unit. You must tear open a breach at enemy position 39.”

Snap—

Before Sankel could reply, Rodson cut off communications.

Sankel was stunned. Normally, Long’s pressure on him to fight was one thing, but now even the commander was forcing him?

With no choice, Sankel reluctantly prepared to fight.

After ending the call with Sankel, Rodson immediately contacted other battalions, companies, platoons, and squads.

“From now on, all units will coordinate their operations centered on the mixed platoon of the Third Armored Recon Battalion’s Firestorm Company!”

From that moment, Han Cheng and his mixed platoon became the linchpin in breaking through the rebel blockade.

Under Rodson’s command, other units began fully cooperating with Han Cheng’s platoon.

This cooperation included but was not limited to:

Deploying personnel to support Han Cheng and his platoon at enemy position 39.

Expanding the breach Han Cheng’s unit created in the enemy lines until the blockade was broken.

At the same time, all units closely monitored enemy movements; if the enemy attempted to reinforce position 39, they would unleash full firepower to hold them back, buying time for Han Cheng’s platoon!

Though Han Cheng’s motivation was simply to earn more KDA points, resulting in reckless charging deep into enemy lines—essentially foolhardy—

Commander Rodson saw it differently.

He thought Long was incredible, the brightest and most favored commander under his command.

Compared to other units struggling without air or long-range support, Long had boldly led his men deep into enemy territory like a sharp blade piercing the heart of the blockade.

In the darkest hour for the Seventh Mercenary Corps, Long was the dawn of hope.

How could Rodson not admire such a man?

Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter—
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the following hours, all units of the Seventh Mercenary Corps conducted operations strictly following Rodson’s plan centered on the Third Armored Recon Battalion’s Firestorm Company mixed platoon.

Thanks to Rodson’s coordination, cooperation between units was seamless, with virtually no mistakes during a series of operations!

Han Cheng, driven by KDA points, charged ahead as the vanguard.

The mixed platoon, as the second wave, pushed forward to keep pace.

The Third Armored Platoon and other units, under Rodson’s strict orders, acted as the third wave, providing harassment and small-scale long-range fire support.

Thus, a basic three-tiered operational formation was established.

Subsequent arriving forces chose their positions within the formation according to their specialties.

Under this formation, before an hour passed, Han Cheng had already penetrated deeply into the enemy’s rear lines.

Finding few enemies and few KDA points to claim, Han Cheng turned back.

That turn perfectly created a pincer movement with the trailing forces against enemy position 39.

The entire garrison of Rebel Force 39 was terrified.

Ahead of them was the overwhelming might of the Seventh Mercenary Corps of the Night Wolf Mercenary Legion.

Behind them was Han Cheng, a one-man force capable of overwhelming hundreds, cutting off all retreat.

Under this pincer attack, they were utterly defenseless and utterly annihilated.

“The blockade line is breached! Advance swiftly and coordinate with the main forces to launch a rear assault!”

With Rodson’s order, nearly 40% of the Seventh Mercenary Corps surged through position 39 into the blockade.

They began coordinated two-front warfare with the main forces.

The rebels could withstand a single-front battle, but they stood no chance against two fronts!

Very soon, multiple gaps appeared along the rebel blockade’s weak points.

These breaches greatly facilitated the Seventh Mercenary Corps’ operations, enabling three- or even four-front battles.

In just half an hour, the rebel blockade was completely shattered!
