Chapter 73

The high-mobility man-portable air-defense missile aimed there quickly, but the opponent was flying too low; the first missile had just flown out, and the target had already sunk below the mountains.

More aircraft swept past the tree-top height from afar, then sank below the tree-top height, and explosions and the roar of rockets sounded in places that couldn't be seen; the places that couldn't be seen were the rear of the troops.

Hong Xingguo shouted: "That's the command post!"

Gao Cheng ignored him: "Accelerate the assault."

"Command post under attack!" Hong Xingguo shouted urgently. They had been hollowed out from behind.

"Original plan remains unchanged," Gao Cheng looked at the horizon shaking in the assault; there was no time to return, they had to move forward, forward, keep moving forward, and smash them!

The command post direction also began to sound with ground artillery and anti-aircraft missile launches; a helicopter was shrouded in thick smoke and disappeared from people's sight.

Gao Cheng didn't even look back; he only had one goal now, the assault target that had been occupied by the Blue Army.

"Mountains, two more armed helicopters are flying toward your side. Altitude 20, speed 300."

"I am Mountain Lion. Supply points 3, 4, and 7 under attack. 4 and 7 paralyzed."

"I am Shanluan. Shanguan continue the assault. Shanguan continue the assault."

Gao Cheng picked up the communicator: "Understood. Shanguan continue the assault."

His expression had become increasingly heavy.

The lead vehicle had just approached the mountainous area when a loud bang came from the forest, and the laser device on the vehicle body sensed the laser beam, emitting white smoke. The flag of the "Armored Tiger" was instantly submerged in white smoke.

"Get out! Get out! All companies coordinate the attack, attack together!" Gao Cheng commanded.

The cabin door of one vehicle hadn't even opened when another puff of white smoke emerged.

The soldiers cursed and drilled out of the vehicles, emitting white smoke, completely "killed in action."

They were all "killed."

Gao Cheng looked at the soldiers on those two vehicles, his anger rising: "What did you usually say? Be fierce when boarding, be fast when disembarking! You lost one-fifth before even getting off! Lie down, you are all corpses now!"

Before the words fell, a strange gunshot came, and Gao Cheng subconsciously dodged behind the vehicle.

Another shot, it was clearly aimed at him.

"Damn it, it's a sniper, Cheng Cai, find him!!" Gao Cheng was full of anger.

They hadn't even seen the opponent's people, and the entire armored vehicle team had been wiped out.

For the invincible Steel Seventh Company, this was a disgrace.

Especially for Gao Cheng, who had just guaranteed at the regimental command post that he would tear the Blue Army to shreds.

Now, it was the Steel Seventh Company that was being torn to shreds.

The hunter became the prey and began to dodge.

The heavy weapons on the vehicles began to roar, and the Third Squad of the Seventh Company, having reacted, rushed toward that area.

Cheng Cai searched in the scope, but could only see the swaying grass. Several soldiers rushed into the target area from different directions and fired a burst, but there were only two used rocket launchers rolling on the open ground.

At this moment, Gao Cheng was staring blankly at the two disposable rocket launchers.

Political Director Hong Xingguo was very surprised: "Disposable, one-time use. These are what our regiment will only change to next year! They are already using them now!"

Gao Cheng flipped through the shell casings in his hand: "The gunshot isn't from a Type 81, it's a Type 95. We're also only changing to those next year. The opponent's equipment is one generation ahead of ours. The two point-shots just now had clear intentions: first hit the vehicle, force the people off the vehicle, and then hit the commanders. This requires excellent observation and psychological quality."

Hong Xingguo said: "Should we wait for the tank company to come up and advance together?"

Gao Cheng stared fixedly ahead and said to Hong Xingguo: "I'll advance, you stay here and provide support."

The silent battlefield suddenly rang out with explosions and gunfire again; that was from the rear of the Seventh Company.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company were advancing in the forest by squads.

They had now abandoned their vehicles and were on foot.

"My mother, what is the background of this group of Blue Army? We haven't even seen a person, and nearly one-third of the Steel Seventh Company has already been scrapped. It's too terrifying," Bai Tiejun walked in the mountains and forests, hunched over.

"I don't know, even if we saw someone die, it would be fine, but we don't even know where the line of fire is coming from," Gan Xiaoning shouted aggrievedly.

Wu Liuyi said in a deep voice, "Their equipment is a head ahead of ours, there's no way to fight. The opponent's 95 sniper rifles, and even the grenades, are things we haven't seen before. We can't resist like this, or we'll all be scrapped."

"Third Squad, stop. We can't go from the front, go around! Go around in a big circle! Spread out, watch out for bait mines and laser radar lines!"

Shi Jin quickly issued the order.

Squad leaders can command small-scale battles during wartime.

Consequently, the entire Third Squad peeled away from the troops.

They hid in the darkness and went around.

Feng Yuxiu suddenly stopped his steps.

"Xu Sanduo, what's wrong?" Shi Jin turned his head abruptly and stopped to ask.

"Squad Leader, since the opponent's equipment is a big step ahead of ours, going around like this won't work," Feng Yuxiu said calmly.

Wu Liuyi frowned, "Why won't it work? They only have strong frontal firepower, why can't we go around?"

Feng Yuxiu looked at Wu Liuyi, "When the cat catches the mouse, how did we find you?"

Wu Liuyi's pupils shrank abruptly, "Night-vision goggles!"

Shi Jin nodded in realization, "Right, they must also have night-vision goggles, maybe even thermal imaging."

"The opposite side has sniper rifles and Type 95 assault rifles, we don't have any advantage," Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes, "Smoke grenades, use smoke grenades to pave the way and block their line of sight, we'll sprint at the fastest speed! As long as we get close, their leading equipment will lose its effect!"

"Individually, as scouts, we are not inferior to them."

Feng Yuxiu's words were quickly adopted.

Wu Liuyi overtook the troops at an extremely fast speed, stood in front, and began to throw smoke grenades.

Gao Cheng turned his head abruptly, "Who did that? Isn't this nonsense?"

But the next moment, the frequency of the Seventh Company soldiers being hit and emitting white smoke decreased instantly.

Gao Cheng was stunned, then overjoyed, "Smoke grenades, use smoke grenades to pave the way, charge forward!"

"Everyone speed up, as long as we get close to them, we have a chance!!"

Instantly, rolling thick smoke rose in the dark jungle.

The point-shooting line hidden in the forest on the opposite side really decreased quite a bit.

Gao Cheng's confidence returned.

They were scouts, and what scouts valued was physical fitness and the ability to engage in physical combat.

No matter what kind of professional Blue Army they were, as long as they got close.

They would definitely be able to win completely!

Gao Cheng had already envisioned the victory of the Blue Army squad on the opposite side being completely annihilated.

Rumble, tat-tat-tat!

The next second.

The firearms on the opposite side changed from point-shooting to assault.

Under the continuous sweeping of the Type 95 assault rifles, the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company kept emitting white smoke and were eliminated.

The speed of elimination was faster and denser than before.

Gao Cheng was furious, "Retreat!! The opponent is defending, we've lost our target, retreat!"

"Now is the time!" Feng Yuxiu raised his head abruptly, "Fifty-eight meters from the line of fire, charge, kill them!"

Feng Yuxiu's legs exploded as he stepped on the ground, rushing out of the thick smoke and sprinting wildly.

"Charge!!"

Behind him, Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, Gan Xiaoning, and Bai Tiejun shouted and followed.

Gao Cheng was slightly stunned, then shouted, "Snipers provide full cover!!"

"Company Commander, they can't succeed, they'll be swept out of the game halfway!" Hong Xingguo shouted.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, his gaze fixed on Feng Yuxiu, "With so many casualties, we have to see what the opposite side looks like, otherwise it's too stifling. I believe in him."

Bang!

Gan Xiaoning was the first to be hit, stopping with white smoke emitting from his body.

"Keep going!!!" he shouted with his arms raised.

"Follow my route!" Feng Yuxiu roared in a deep voice.

The scattered formation behind him formed a line.

Feng Yuxiu stared fixedly at the pitch-black jungle.

"I see them!"
