Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Geng Hu and Shi Sanba finalized their plan, they split into several teams and headed in different directions. Each team had people from the Blue Team and the Green Team to ensure that they could contact each other in time.
When He Chengguang heard that they were coming out, he quickly looked around. Suddenly, he saw a pile of wooden boxes, so he brought Lin Muze and Tian Liang to hide in the wooden boxes so that they were not discovered by Geng Hu and the others.
After Geng Hu left, He Chengguang hurriedly contacted everyone in the Red Team and briefly explained the matter. He asked everyone in the Red Team to gather at the abandoned factory.
Then, the red team members who had not been eliminated in the forest rushed to the factory. They all believed that He Chengguang wouldn’t cheat his teammates.
“Really?”
After everyone arrived, although everyone believed He Chengguang’s words, Lin Xiao still wanted to confirm it again.
‘Yes!”
He Chengguang looked into Lin Xiao’s eyes with determination and answered affirmatively.
“I can testify. It’s true. We were there.” Lin Muze and Tian Liang came out to testify.
“Then what should we do?”
At this moment, a thin and weak person in the crowd spoke up. That person was almost eliminated when he partic.i.p.ated in the selection. His name was
Chen Shan.
At this moment, Chen Shan’s expression seemed to be about to cry.
“We were already under a lot of pressure to avoid the blue army. Look, it’s only been a day and we only have 23 people here. Now there’s another green army. They’re even ganging up to eliminate us first. How are we supposed to play?” “Alright, stop being a sissy. Can’t you be a little more manly?”
Tian Liang stopped Chen Shan’s words. Although what Chen Shan said was the truth, now was not the time to avoid the problem. Saying these words would only affect the morale of the army.
“I thought about it on the way here. Since they want to break through us one by one, why don’t we join forces and form a company to take the initiative to attack? That way, there’s still a glimmer of hope for survival.”
He Chengguang gave a plan that he had thought about several times in his mind. This was the only plan he could think of to fight his way out. “That’s the only way. He Chengguang, do you have any good tactics?”
Lin Xiao asked,
“Now we have a total of twenty-three people. Five people in a row, divided into four rows, observing the four directions. Three people are responsible for sniping in the dark. Lin Xiao, Chen Shan, and I are responsible for sniping.”
He Chengguang quickly made tactical arrangements. Although Chen Shan was a little timid, his marksmanship was considered better among this batch of recruits, second only to He Chengguang and Lin Xiao.
After receiving the arrangements, the Red Team members began to take the initiative to attack. This was because everyone understood that they could not
hide. Instead of being defeated one by one, it was better to gather together and defeat the other party.
If it was still a plate of loose sand like before, there would probably be less than five Red Team members who survived and were not eliminated. Although the Red Team had a large number of people, they still had 18 people against the Blue Team and Green Team. Previously, He Chengguang and the others were lucky enough to eliminate two of them.
23 special forces recruits against 18 special forces veterans. There was a huge disparity in strength. The chances of winning were not high, but it was better than waiting for death.
Half a day pa.s.sed, and it was almost evening. Lin Xiao was scouting ahead of the Red Team when he suddenly discovered a small team of the Blue-Green Coalition Army ahead.
“Everyone, pay attention. There’s a small team 500 meters ahead. There are five of them. Set up an ambush!”
Lin Xiao gave the order. In this gathered team, He Chengguang, Lin Xiao, and Chen Shan were temporarily in charge. The three of them had the right to speak. If there were any differences, they would vote.
Therefore, when everyone heard Lin Xiao’s order, they all hid in the bushes beside them.
The Blue and Green teams quickly arrived at the Red Team’s ambush site. One of them carefully observed the ground and suddenly shouted,
“Retreat!”
At the same time, the red team stood up and focused their fire on the team. Fortunately, the team was vigilant and managed to dodge the bullets. They all found a hidden place to hide.
He Chengguang and Lin Xiao could not help but sigh in their hearts.
A veteran was a veteran. Even this was noticed.
The reason why the team had noticed the ambush was because they saw many shallow footprints on the ground. It was obvious that many people had been here just now, but the footprints suddenly disappeared in front of them. The combat experience of the special forces made them understand.
There was an ambush here!
“Calling the Blue-Green Coalition Army, this is the Blue-Green Coalition Army’s Squad Two, we’ve been ambushed! The precise location is three kilometers away from the starting point’s seven o’clock direction. I estimate that there are twenty of them!”
“Requesting backup, requesting backup!”
One of them immediately used a walkie- talkie to call for backup.
“Blue-Green Coalition Army Squad One, copy!” “Blue-Green Coalition Army Squad Three, copy!”
“Blue-Green Coalition Army Squad Four, copy!”
According to the blue-green coalition army’s plan, they wouldn’t be too far away from each other. It would only take them ten minutes to arrive.
“Let’s go! Squad Two has been ambushed. The intelligence says that there are 20 people on the other side. It seems that they plan to gather and counterattack.”
Geng Hu said anxiously to Shi Sanba,
“We have to hurry over to provide support. This time, we must try to destroy the Red Team!”
Shi Sanba chuckled.
“Geng Hu, from the looks of it, the recruits are planning to turn the tables and become the hunters. Although I don’t know why they suddenly gathered everyone together, this will make it easier for us to take down the Red Team in one fell swoop.”
Geng Hu turned to look at Shi Sanba and whispered,
“Never underestimate your enemy on the battlefield, have you forgotten that?”
Shi Sanba realized the problem. He put away his nonchalant expression and became serious.
At the scene, He Chengguang looked at the people who were fighting and could not help but feel a little anxious.
If they continued to drag this out until the enemy reinforcements arrived, there was a high chance that they would be wiped out by the Blue and Green Coalition Army.
Soon, He Chengguang calmed down and aimed his sniper rifle at one of the people hiding behind the trees.
After waiting for a few minutes, when the man leaned out a little to shoot, He Chengguang seized this opportunity and pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
After a clear gunshot, smoke rose from behind the person hiding behind the tree.
“Beautiful!”
He Chengguang thought to himself.
When the Red Team saw that one of their special forces veterans had been eliminated, their morale immediately rose.
“There’s a sniper at nine o’clock!”
A member of the Blue-Green Coalition Army shouted.
“Bang!”
Another gunshot rang out.
It was Chen Shan, but he missed.
Just as Chen Shan pulled the trigger and was about to fire another shot,
“There’s a sniper at six o’clock!”
“Roger that! Cover me!”
One of the blue-green coalition forces reported the location. After the other received it, he raised his gun and swept it over.
The special forces veteran’s marksmanship was very good. He eliminated Chen Shan in a few seconds.
Just as He Chengguang was looking for an opportunity to shoot a second time, Suddenly, many people appeared from different directions.
They were all from the Blue-Green Coalition Army, including Shi Sanba and Geng Hu.
Not good!
He Chengguang realized that something was wrong! “Everyone, retreat! The enemy’s reinforcements are here!” He Chengguang immediately gave the order to retreat.
“Lin Xiao and I will cover everyone’s retreat!”
“Roger!”
Lin Xiao replied.
As a result, the Red Team fired as they retreated. Lin Xiao and He Chengguang sniped the Blue-Green Coalition Army from the high ground to provide cover for the Red Team to buy time to retreat.
However, the Blue-Green Coalition Army were all veterans of the special forces. How could they let the Red Team retreat so easily?
In just a few minutes, the reinforcements had eliminated nearly half of the Red Team.
“Shi Sanba, there’s a sniper at six o’clock!” Geng Hu shouted at Shi Sanba.
“Understood!”
After Shi Sanba finished speaking, he picked up his gun and quickly hid to the side. He chose a favorable spot and set up his sniper rifle to aim at the six o’clock direction.
That was where Lin Xiao was hiding.
Shi Sanba stared at the magnifying gla.s.s and slowed down his breathing. He didn’t move. After a minute, Lin Xiao poked his head out to look for the enemy.
“Bang!”
Another clear gunshot rang out. But this time, it was from the Blue-Green Coalition Army.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.
He Chengguang saw that the survivors of the Red Team had all retreated, so he quickly put away his gun and left..
