This sudden mission involves a certain group of extremists who have taken control of a hotel in the neighboring county, holding dozens of hostages. To attract attention, they have already shot and killed three individuals.
This is also Qi Taiguo’s first operation since becoming Deputy Battalion Commander. Upon leading the team to the scene, the sky had already darkened. Flas flickered on the top floor of the hotel, while the first floor was brightly lit with figures holding rifles pacing back and forth.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Qi," the local police chief approached, nodding respectfully and saluting Qi Taiguo.
"What’s the current situation?"
"There are seven separatists inside, each ard with AK pistols. They have already killed three innocent civilians. All the hostages are being held in the hotel lobby." The police chief quickly explained.
Qi Taiguo nodded, "Do you know who exactly is inside?"
The police chief’s expression turned grim as he lowered his voice, saying, "Today, the personnel from Yanjing Province who ca for an inspection and research stayed at this hotel, and have all been taken hostage. The situation is extrely critical."
Qi Taiguo’s face changed, looking sharply at him, "The Yanjing inspection group?"
The police chief nodded. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so urgent to request support from the army; there’s a provincial secretary inside!
"The list!" Qi Taiguo demanded coldly.
Beside him, soone handed over a list. Qi Taiguo took it, his breath catching as he glanced over it.
It was exactly as he imagined. This inspection group included Chiang Qing and her colleagues, with the highest leader being Secretary Gao.
"Damn it!" Qi Taiguo cursed.
He was upset primarily because of the high-profile nature of the people involved, which allowed no room for failure, thus increasing the pressure of the rescue mission. Another reason was Chiang Qing.
Chiang Qing was the person Qi Taiguo hated most, but now, with her among the hostages, it ant he had to save her.
He despised this woman and wished she would die, yet, ironically, he had to rescue her now.
"Report." A communications soldier carrying a device dashed over with a phone in hand, standing at attention, "Yanjing Provincial Office is calling, requesting to speak with the commander."
Qi Taiguo took the receiver and spoke in a deep voice, "This is Deputy Battalion Commander Qi Taiguo of the Qing City Army Region."
There seed to be a mont of surprise on the other end.
"Qi Taiguo!"
As soon as Qi Taiguo heard the voice over the phone, his eyes beca sharp, squeezing the receiver tightly, with veins bulging.
"Yes!"
Despite his hatred and anger, the person on the other end was his superior, the country’s Commander, so no matter how upset or angry, he had to respond.
Indeed, the caller was Jiang Conghe, who was clearly aware of this incident.
He just hadn’t anticipated that the commander this ti would be Qi Taiguo, his sworn enemy.
Jiang Conghe introduced himself and asked about the situation.
"Reporting, our troops have just arrived, the situation is unclear, requesting combat command," Qi Taiguo replied chanically.
The voice on the other end seed very angry, coldly saying, "Qi Taiguo, I don’t care how many people you use or what thods, you must rescue my daughter, Secretary Gao, and the others, ensuring their safety. Otherwise, be prepared to take off your military uniform!"
Anger flashed in Qi Taiguo’s eyes as he said, "Report, Sir, our troops will do everything possible to rescue the innocent civilians."
On the other side, there was a heavy snort before the phone was abruptly hung up.
Qi Taiguo also hung up the phone with a cold expression, shouting, "All troops, assemble!"
