"An ambush!" The US platoon leader finally realized what was happening and shouted. The troops stopped instantly, and the soldiers raised their guns, scanning their surroundings warily.

Tang Nan had already disappeared into the rain. With his familiarity with the terrain, he skillfully moved between various hiding places, leaving the American soldiers completely bewildered.

In the time that followed, Tang Nan appeared and disappeared like a ghost, constantly seeking opportunities to attack the American soldiers. After each shot, he quickly moved to a different position, giving the enemy no chance to retaliate.

The U.S. soldiers were thrown into panic by the sudden attack, and the ranks fell into chaos.

However, the US platoon leader quickly calmed down and ordered his soldiers to disperse and search, while strengthening the protection of the old man.

Tang Nan knew that the next operation would be even more difficult, but he did not back down in the slightest. He secretly vowed in his heart that no matter how difficult it was today, he would rescue the old man from the American army.

The US platoon leader held his gun, his eyes scanning the rain like a hawk's. Rainwater streamed down the edge of his helmet, but it did not affect his alertness in the slightest.

"Two people per group, search in a fan shape!" He pointed the gun barrel at the surrounding dense forest. "The rest of you, keep an eye on the old man!"

As the order was given, the previously panicked American troops quickly regrouped. Four groups of soldiers, rifles at the ready, stepped into the muddy grass, the dry leaves rustling harshly under their boots. Tang Nan pressed himself against the damp rock wall, the wound on his back stinging in the rain. He counted the approaching footsteps, his fingers gripping his MM14 rifle tightly.

He had missed several shots due to nervousness, and now only two bullets remained in the chamber, with the nearest American soldier no more than ten paces away. He had no chance to reload.

Suddenly, a sharp cracking sound came from the left as a U.S. soldier pushed aside the vines, his gun almost touching the tip of his nose.

In the nick of time, Tang Nan suddenly raised his hand and smashed the soldier's temple with the butt of his rifle. The soldier groaned and collapsed to the ground, the impact alerting the other American soldiers.

"Over here!" Shouts came from all directions, and bullets rained down, piercing through the bushes. Tang Nan rolled into a nearby ditch, choking on muddy water, but he didn't care about coughing. He grabbed onto the vines on the ditch wall and fled in a sorry state.

Just then, a familiar presence swept through his consciousness. "Second Brother!" Tang Yue's voice boomed in his mind, filled with anxiety and tension, "Hold on, I'm coming right away!"
