Sins of the Father
 

Wei Liao believed in a strict hierarchical organziation solidified by a mutual guarantee system that bonds men into units of five and ten and imposed linkages at all levels. Whether in society or in battle, failure to discover and report another's crime, prevent a comrade's death, or fight with determination was punished with the same severity as if the negligent person had committed the offence himself. Contrary to Confucian belief, under this system a father could not conceal his son's crimes nor a son his father's ... Much of the Wei Liao-tzu is devoted to explicating the essential principles for implementing an effective system of rewards and punishments. -Robert Sawyer, The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China (1993)

This mission is only annoying in that the secrets can be hard to find since you are always under a time limit. Apart from that, the time limit is only difficult if you have it set to Hardened or Super Extreme difficulty.

Begin by noticing your crappy sniper rifle is now a four-shot wonder. Take position at the junkyard and down the two jerk- asses in the watchtower to start the bloodshed. Be sure to ditch the R770 and grab a G36C or something that fires faster. You'll need that later. Note the secret that's kinda timed.
 

Laptop 24 of 30 - This secret is hard to get only if you aren't quick. Once you start the firefight at the restaurant, head into the diner and turn left. The laptop is on one of the tables. Note you may not have time to grab this after changing uniforms.

The target you want is driving the jeep ahead of the BMP. Be sure to brain the guards sitting shotgun and in the backseat, as well as anyone else who objects to being arrested. A jeep will ram your watchtower and you will be ushered into a new section in 30 seconds or less.
 

Once you get back up, you need to pursue the Russian target or he eventually escapes and you lose. Chase the guy through the junkyard, kill teh attack dog and move into the Russian village.
 

Blast the initial enemies in the village and stick to the left (when you enter town). This way, you can weasel your way into a side alley and pursue the mo'fo to the next section. The next section that has your second secret.
 

Laptop 25 of 30 - After taking the "alley to the left", you come across a green car and a red dumpster. Take a right when you see those objects and down the Russians around the next corner. See the stairs leading up into the building? Head in, introduce the Russkies inside to Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson, then take the laptop and continue your pursuit of your quarry.

Continue past the sniper alley and use flashbangs to disable enemies around corners, etc. Although you need to be quick, being hasty and being swift are two different things. Hastiness will cause you to forget about reloading until you are dead from a fulisade of Russian gunfire.
 

When you spot some stairs, watch for the fortified machinegun nest. Wait for the gunship to take it out, then head across the carpark and up the stairs into the apartment. The only thing inside that should give you any trouble now should be the second mini-gun nest.
 

Again, wait for your gunship to roast the weenies at the nest, then head to the roof. Touch the target to end the mission.
