Chapter 1062: Ambush by a Thousand Men

Xu Damao sucked on his teeth and said, "It's not that I pity these people, it's just... damn, when a bayonet stabs into a body, it feels like it's stabbing into me. My whole body crawls, and I really want to take a piss."

Dajinya laughed and scolded, "Uncle, weren't you quite ruthless when you were young? How have you become such a coward now?"

Xu Damao pursed his lips in a bitter smile, "Poverty breeds treachery, wealth breeds kindness. I've lived in peace and comfort for decades; I can't stand this kind of killing anymore."

Wang Pangzi mocked from the side, "If you ask me, most of that ruthlessness Master Mao had when he was young was just bluffing."

"Screw your grandfather, I wasn't bluffing!" Xu Damao waved his hand, "But even though what Jin Ya said is harsh, he's not wrong. Once a person gets old, their courage shrinks. I admit I'm a bit of a coward."

He Yuzhu didn't pick up on their idle chatter and ordered in a deep voice, "The enemy won't take long to catch up, and they might even deploy helicopters. Let's hurry and clear the battlefield, scavenge for usable weapons, and get on the road immediately after we're done!"

The five of them were nimble, quickly gathering the firearms and ammunition from the battlefield and piling them all onto the vehicle.

He Yuzhu opened the trunk of a Toyota off-road vehicle and "dug out" five Stinger Missiles.

In reality, he had placed these missiles there from his System Space, specifically to put on a show and fool Xu Damao and Dajinya.

Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi exchanged a look; the two of them understood without a word.

Xu Damao and Dajinya were nervous to death at this moment and had no mind to pay attention to what weapons had been captured.

This time, He Yuzhu didn't let Wang Pangzi drive; he sat in the driver's seat himself.

The car drove fast, speeding past the edge of the cliff several times. Xu Damao and Dajinya were scared out of their wits, gripping the car handles tightly and shouting from time to time. After being teased by Pangzi a few times, the two simply closed their eyes tightly and dared not look outside the car again.

Wang Pangzi, however, wasn't afraid at all; he knew He Yuzhu's capabilities well.

The car bumped along for over an hour when the rumbling sound of helicopters came from overhead.

Hu Bayi raised his Telescope and looked over, "Master He, three Mi-24 Hind attack helicopters, their wings are loaded with Rockets!"

He Yuzhu nodded, quickly found a stretch of mountain road with an open path, and brought the car to a steady stop.

"Damao, Dajinya, find a place to hide immediately! Hu, Pangzi, take the Stinger Missiles and come up the mountain with me!"

The three of them shouldered the missiles and quickly ducked into the dense forest on the hillside.

Hu Bayi gripped a missile, eager to try, "Master He, let me try the first one, can I?"

He Yuzhu nodded and quickly explained the operation points to him.

Hu Bayi shouldered the Stinger and aimed at the helicopter flying in the lead, the veins on his forehead bulging high; it was clear he was extremely nervous.

"This is idiot-proof operation, don't panic. Once the aiming indicator light turns on, just pull the trigger," He Yuzhu instructed while aiming.

"Got it, I understand!"

Wang Pangzi, standing to the side, also shouldered a missile, "Hu takes the first one, I'll handle the second, Master He, you take care of the last one!"

"Good!" He Yuzhu had already locked onto the helicopter at the rear.

He was the first to pull the trigger, "Whoosh—!" The tail of the missile trailed rolling white smoke, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, lunging straight at that Mi-24.

The missile accurately hit the engine section, and the helicopter instantly exploded into a ball of raging fire.

As expected of simple operation, all three Stinger Missiles hit their targets, and the three attack helicopters crashed one after another.

"Let's go!" He Yuzhu urged in a low voice.

The three of them quickly went down the mountain and returned to the car, picked up Xu Damao and Dajinya, and the car shot forward, continuing to race ahead.

Dajinya looked at the three fires still burning on the mountain, his blood surging, and he shouted excitedly, "Master He, you are too amazing, you took down three helicopters in one fell swoop!"

He Yuzhu shook his head, "This wasn't my credit alone; the three of us each took down one!"

Dajinya hurriedly gave a thumbs up, "Hu, Pangzi, you two are truly impressive!"

He Yuzhu drove for another two hours, and the dense mountain forests on both sides of the road gradually turned into low shrubbery.

Hu Bayi raised his Telescope to look ahead, seeing that they were about to drive out of the mountain pass, but it was quiet outside the pass, and not even half a shadow could be seen.

He frowned, puzzled, "Master He, the road ahead is empty, there's not a single person."

He Yuzhu's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately activated the System Scanning in his mind; a dense mass of figures in a large forest appeared clearly in his mind instantly.

He didn't point it out directly, just said calmly, "Isn't it good that there's no one? Maybe they were scared off by us... After we get down from this mountain and run another ten-plus kilometers on flat ground, we can turn onto the mountain road leading to Shan State... Let's pretend we're just traveling and wait for an opportunity to plan further."

"Master He, we should still be extra careful. I always feel like they are hiding in that forest," Hu Bayi said with a vigilant expression.

He Yuzhu looked down the mountain; at this moment, the car was at the Mid-Levels, and the terrain below was in full view.

After descending the mountain, there was an open slope on the left, and on the right was the tropical rainforest where a large number of enemy troops were lying in ambush.

He Yuzhu put away his joking manner and said solemnly, "Hu, see that forest? There are definitely people hiding there. After we get down the mountain, I will park next to those few big trees in front, and you all must rush up the dirt slope immediately..."

"I understand," Hu Bayi replied in a deep voice.

He Yuzhu had already made up his mind to use that large pit to severely damage this group of pursuers; even if he couldn't wipe them all out, he would cripple the majority of their forces.

As soon as the car rushed down the hillside, the ambushing Government Army soldiers swarmed out of the forest like locusts.

The large expanse of yellow-green military uniforms was particularly glaring on the meadow; there were at least a thousand people, each holding an AK-47, and there were soldiers carrying PKM General-purpose Machine Guns, with long ammunition belts hanging at their sides, swaying in the wind.

Xu Damao's face turned deathly pale in an instant, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Zhuzi... it's over, it's over! I'm afraid we're going to die here today!"

Dajinya was so scared his legs were shaking, and he stammered, "M-Master He, can we really beat them?"

He Yuzhu slammed the steering wheel, turning the Bulletproof Car sideways to use the thick steel body to block the enemy's frontal firepower.

Ordinary rifle bullets couldn't penetrate this Bulletproof Car at all, so for the time being, the people inside the car were safe.

"Hu! Take the men and seize that big pit in front! When the enemy charges up, you open fire from the pit to block them! I'll stay behind to cover the retreat!" He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

"Understood, Master He!" Hu Bayi understood his tactics instantly.

Wang Pangzi, Xu Damao, and Dajinya all grabbed their AK-47s, loaded up on ammunition, and rushed toward the dirt slope pit with all their might.

He Yuzhu didn't retreat with them; he turned around and collected all the ammunition on the Bulletproof Car into the System Space, then immediately installed a Timed Bomb on the car's chassis.

Afterward, he lay down in the truck bed, took an M60 General Purpose Machine Gun from the space, and fired fiercely at the swarming Government Army.

"Da-da-da—da-da-da—!"

Dense gunfire erupted, and the Burmese Army soldiers charging in the front fell in swathes like harvested wheat.

After firing for a moment, He Yuzhu immediately abandoned the car, running while turning back to fire and suppress the pursuers.

"Boom! Boom!" The Government Army's Mortars smashed into the Bulletproof Car one after another, flipping the entire vehicle over, but fortunately, the Timed Bomb on the chassis was not detonated.

A large group of the Government Army swarmed to the side of the overturned Bulletproof Car, unable to help but pause briefly, their faces full of confusion as they looked at the strange body of the Bulletproof Car.

He Yuzhu seized the opportunity and slammed the detonation button of the Timed Bomb.

"Boom—!!"

With a heaven-shaking roar, the area within twenty-odd meters of the Bulletproof Car instantly turned into a rolling sea of fire, and a large number of the Government Army suffered heavy casualties in the explosion.

He Yuzhu continued to break through forward; Hu Bayi and his party had already hidden in a dirt pit, holding AK-47s and firing back at the Government Army without stopping.

He Yuzhu roared into the Walkie-talkie: "Do not get bogged down in the fight! After thirty seconds, everyone retreat into the woods nearby!"
