Chapter 77

Near the afternoon, the Steel Seventh Company finally retreated to the position.

Hong Xingguo jumped off the infantry fighting vehicle and walked over, telling Gao Cheng: "Just contacted the command post. The main attack force has changed plans and moved to defend. The tank company and supply base have been cut off, and the Blue Army has attacked the command post three times, but they haven't taken it."

"Are we still attacking?"

"Mountain Range orders to stand by on the spot." Gao Cheng looked at the hill close at hand; that distance used to be easy for infantry fighting vehicles, but now it was unreachable.

The communications soldier poked his head out of the command vehicle: "Company Commander, command post."

Gao Cheng looked a bit impatient when he went over.

Hong Xingguo looked around and realized that the Seventh Company had never suffered such a big setback.

After a while, Gao Cheng strode back, his expression even uglier than before: "Reinforce the position, defend on the spot."

He looked at Hong Xingguo and sighed, "Abandoned the attack. The main battlefield is now at the command post location. Our mission now is to consume the enemy forces and be ready to move to defend at any time."

Hong Xingguo was stunned: "I haven't fought a war like this."

Gao Cheng said: "Hmm, there is no pure defender, no pure attacker."

"Damn, how is this war fought!" Gao Cheng roared, he was stifled.

Being led around by others.

Bang!

Cheng Cai, who had been lying in the grass, finally fired, adjusting his scope.

He had finally spotted the bush he had been observing; the branches and leaves were moving unnaturally. The opponent was camouflaged as thoroughly as he was, and was just as patient.

Fired, and white smoke rose from the bush in the gunshot.

He rolled away immediately to avoid being point-shot and killed; the Blue Army's gunfire sounded immediately, and it was aimed at him.

"One enemy killed at the nine o'clock position. There is still a sniper!"

"Full fire, suppress the firepower!" Gao Cheng roared in the trench.

Instantly, the suppressed Steel Seventh Company's return fire became a piece, and Gao Cheng squatted beside Cheng Cai, observing with binoculars.

Hong Xingguo also looked from the side: "Dragging the corpse? See if we can find information."

Gao Cheng shook his head: "No. The distance is too far, it's useless to go, and we might lose a few more."

He patted Cheng Cai's helmet, "After we go back, you tell everyone about the sniper essentials."

Cheng Cai grinned happily, more of it was relief.

He was glad he decided to come back, otherwise he would have been captured and annihilated by the Blue Army along with Feng Yuxiu and the others.

Perhaps they had already been annihilated?

Qi Huan smiled slightly, looking at Gao Cheng's face, finding it somewhat funny.

Subconsciously touching his chest, his face suddenly changed drastically.

With some unbelievable paleness, he lowered his head and tremblingly unbuttoned his clothes to touch it.

"Gone, when did that kid take it? Where did he get this kind of wisdom?"

Qi Huan finally panicked; the map on his body clearly marked the route of this special forces squad, as well as the final meeting point.

Now, the map was lost.

Qi Huan's face was seen by the annoyed Gao Cheng.

In this instant, a flash of realization appeared on the face of this company commander whose arrogance had been worn away.

Ignoring the surprised look of the political director, he walked to Qi Huan's side in two steps and squatted down, taking out a cigarette, "Smoke?"

Qi Huan remained silent, no longer having the previous lightheartedness.

Gao Cheng bit it in his mouth and took a hard puff, instantly smoke curled, and then he slowly exhaled.

"Something on your mind?"

Qi Huan sneered, "Company Commander Gao, have you ever seen a dead person talk?"

"Weren't you quite capable of talking before?" Gao Cheng asked in surprise.

Qi Huan closed his eyes, "That's different."

"What were you touching just now? Did you lose something? Is it important? Do you want me to mobilize the company to help you find it? Don't lose anything important."

Gao Cheng's enthusiasm made Qi Huan grit his teeth, and he finally decided to ignore it.

He bet that this Company Commander Gao couldn't guess what it was.

Gao Cheng smiled and finished the cigarette, then stepped on the butt and walked toward Hong Xingguo.

"Just now..." Hong Xingguo pointed at Qi Huan, "What were you two talking about?"

Gao Cheng frowned, "What do you think could be lost that would make a Blue Army captain panic?"

Hong Xingguo thought about it, "Map?"

Gao Cheng nodded, "I think so too. Why did Xu Sanduo say that tactic so confidently? Thinking about it now, he must have obtained the map from this captain earlier, and that map is where the information of the Blue Army squad's commander is located."

Hong Xingguo lowered his voice, "Could Xu Sanduo and the others really annihilate this Blue Army special forces squad?"

Gao Cheng smiled, "Why not? Aren't the Blue Army also people with two arms and two legs? I believe in them."

Night fell quickly.

The sunset was still crawling on the mountain top, but the forest was pitch black.

"Keep up! Don't stop, be fast!" Shi Jin shouted in a low voice.

The three people beside him lowered their heads and charged forward regardless.

Feng Yuxiu ran at the front, "If you see people, just dodge, don't have any head-on contact, our goal is the meeting point fifty-six miles to the southeast!"

To maximize the reduction of their burden, the four even left their night-vision goggles where they were.

Except for a set of clothes, they didn't bring anything.

Feng Yuxiu had the confidence; the opposite side was a three-man command squad, and in a four-against-three situation, they couldn't lose.

The scouts of the Steel Seventh Company were not vegetarians.

He had also tested that Qi Huan, it was just average level.

But for ordinary privates, it was enough to be crushing, and Feng Yuxiu didn't believe that everyone in this Blue Army squad was at the same level as this Qi Huan.

The night gradually swallowed the entire forest.

The four sprinted silently like owls.

Bang!

Suddenly, Bai Tiejun fell forward and smashed heavily onto the ground.

"What's going on?" The three stopped instantly and looked back.

"Bai Tiejun, what's going on?" Wu Liuyi asked coldly.

"I'm fine, I tripped, keep running!" Bai Tiejun stood up and patted his thigh.

"Be careful!"

The three turned and continued to run forward.

Bai Tiejun raised his right hand that was pressed against his thigh, and in the moonlight, it was blood red.

His thigh had been pierced.

"It's not easy to do something big, can't make a mistake at this juncture, damn, are you still the son your father is most proud of? This is an opportunity, an opportunity to get ahead, you still plan to go back to the mountains? That place has no electricity, and there are rats on the rafters when you sleep at night!"

Bai Tiejun cursed himself, forcibly suppressed the lingering fear in his heart, tore his sleeve to bind it tightly, and followed.

The four didn't stop for a moment, only sprinting wildly remained.

When the moon hung high in the sky.

The four finally reached that meeting point.

This was a cliff wall.

The four lay on the edge of the cliff wall cautiously, looking down by the moonlight.

"Damn, this isn't a three-man squad, this is a command platoon!" Wu Liuyi suppressed his excitement and lowered his voice.

Feng Yuxiu's face was somewhat grave.

Below were three tent camps set up with military cloth.

There were Blue Army soldiers patrolling on the left and right, and drones patrolling in the sky.

"Squad Leader, found a big catch," Wu Liuyi was somewhat excited.

"Don't forget, we don't have guns now," Shi Jin said in a deep voice.

"Sanduo, what's your plan?" Shi Jin looked at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid they have thermal imaging, but I just looked and there is a mud pit on the left side, use mud to wrap around the body to isolate heat, sneak in, avoid the range of their Type 95 assault rifles, as long as we get close and decapitate them, our mission will be completed."

Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi looked at the calm Feng Yuxiu in astonishment, "Where did you learn these things?"

"Squad Leader, Squad Deputy... I might drag you down,"

Bai Tiejun's weak voice sounded.

Shi Jin turned his head and almost screamed in shock.

"Why is there so much blood on your leg? When did you get injured?"

Bai Tiejun's face was pale, "I just didn't want to drag you down, I wanted to prove that I, Bai Tiejun, am also... also capable, even if I retire, I can still be Aman!"

Then his head tilted, and he lost consciousness.
