The next day, an US Army camp was located three kilometers northeast of Saigon City.

Four hundred elite special forces soldiers, exuding a fierce aura, stood proudly in neat rows on the parade ground, fully armed.

After more than ten days at sea, all the special forces soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted. However, these elite US Army soldiers were also very adaptable. After a night of rest, they quickly recovered and stood on the parade ground in the barracks, all of them full of fighting spirit.

After a brief period of rest and initial reorganization, this special forces unit was ready to carry out its missions, and General Paul Huggins, head of the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, gave them a pep talk.

These elite special forces soldiers, selected from various US Army units, will be assigned to a newly established secret military unit during their time in Vietnam.

Codenamed MACV-SOG, it was the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam.

The SOG is primarily composed of the US Army. special forces personnel, including US Army Special Forces, Special Operations Division, US Marine Corps Reconnaissance Units, Marine Reconnaissance Marines, Air Force Special Operations Personnel, and Navy SEALs.

This team, composed of the most elite soldiers in the US Army, was tasked with an extremely dangerous mission.

These missions included covert operations and sabotage behind enemy lines, requiring them to conduct reconnaissance missions in South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and even across the Vietnam border into Laos and Cambodia, to gather intelligence, rescue prisoners, rescue downed pilots, conduct psychological warfare, black propaganda, assassinations, and guide bombings.

After the speech, all the soldiers looked solemn. The mission they were about to carry out was extremely dangerous, with a high casualty rate. They didn't know how many of them would be able to return to the United States alive after the war ended.

Two days later, Victor and James, dressed in military combat uniforms, carrying backpacks and holding M16 rifles, ran with the rest of the special forces team toward an US Army UH-1 Ilokyi helicopter.

After everyone else had boarded the plane, Chen Mo, who was at the very back, jumped onto the plane. However, unlike the other soldiers, he did not carry a rifle, machine gun, or sniper rifle, nor did he carry a military backpack containing ammunition and other combat supplies. Instead, he boarded the plane empty-handed and relaxed.

However, on either side of his thighs were two holsters, inside which were two black M1911A1 pistols.

Meanwhile, his combat vest was also filled with pistol magazines, suggesting that he intended to fight using only pistols.

Although Chen Mo's team members didn't say anything, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts whether their Commander, whose abilities they couldn't fathom, was truly very capable or just overconfident.

How could the firepower of two pistols possibly match that of an automatic rifle? Was he planning to stay in the back and not participate?

Even if someone is an observer for a sniper, they would at least carry a submachine gun. Someone like Chen Mo, who only carries two pistols to the battlefield, is either a high-ranking officer of colonel rank or above who only needs to sit and command and does not need to fight personally, or a deserter or someone who is looking for death.

I wonder which type their Commander will be.

After the last training session, they were not immediately dispatched to carry out missions. Instead, they had two days of rest, acclimatization to the Vietnam climate, acclimatization training, and distribution of equipment and supplies. Today, they finally received their first mission.

After everyone boarded, accompanied by the roar of the engines, the helicopter's rotors spun rapidly, and the powerful wind blew the grass on the ground so tightly that it clung to the ground. Under the powerful thrust, the helicopter carrying everyone quickly took off and flew Speed toward its destination.

Their mission was to raid a village where high-ranking North Vietnam officials were hiding and bring them back to their camp as prisoners.

The helicopter began to descend and fly at low altitude when it was tens of kilometers away from the target, and finally landed a few kilometers away from the village.

"You two stay here to guard the plane and prepare for the interception."

Chen Mo casually assigned two people to stay behind on the plane to prevent it from being attacked by the enemy and having its retreat cut off.

Two people stayed behind to defend, so that even if the enemy approached, they could hold them off for a while and allow the helicopter to take off quickly.

"Yes, sir!"

The two people Chen Mo called upon immediately responded loudly.

It's much easier to keep the planes in place than to attack a village defended by soldiers.

After arranging for the personnel to stay behind, Chen Mo turned around and led the remaining soldiers of the squad to quickly rush off the plane. Braving the strong wind from the still-running propellers, they bent over and ran towards the target village.

Chen Mo's actions surprised the team members who had expected Chen Mo to stay behind and guard the plane. It seemed that their Commander was not as cowardly as they had thought.

However, after seeing Chen Mo, who was lightly equipped with no supply backpack and empty hands, and then looking at themselves and other team members, including the two "King Kongs" next to the Commander with their bulging backpacks and heavy weapons, most people still had some doubts.

Chen Mo didn't care about the questioning looks from his team members. With his Spatial Ability, he didn't even need to carry a pistol and magazine with him. He could just take them out of his space when needed.

However, he couldn't directly reveal his special abilities right now, so he chose to carry two pistols and magazines with him.

Apart from the two people who stayed behind to guard the helicopter, the remaining fourteen people traveled at high speed and soon arrived near the target village.

On a hillside on one side of the village, Chen Mo hid in the shade of the trees and carefully observed the situation of the village below. Combining the subtle sounds he heard, Chen Mo quickly understood the situation of the village below.

The village is small, with only a few dozen households, and seems very peaceful. However, there are many hidden sentries in some key locations. In a house deep in the village, more than a dozen adult men are gathered, and around the house, there are nearly a hundred armed men guarding it in secret.

"Sniper, find a high vantage point and prepare to provide cover for the kill!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two groups of snipers and observers responded in unison, and then the four of them, carrying their weapons, quietly made their way up a hillside on the side of the village.

Chen Mo, along with the remaining ten men, used the dense trees on the hillside as cover to sneak towards the village.

The group soon arrived at the foot of the hill, and the village was just outside the woods.

From their perspective, the entire village was peaceful, no different from any other ordinary Vietnam village.
