"hidden!"

Xia Mengsheng shouted, and almost simultaneously, the roar of machine guns rang out, and bullets rained down on the spot where they had just been standing.

"We've been discovered!"

Team member number two shouted, his voice distorted with fear.

"Advance in split formation! Proceed according to plan!"

Xia Mengsheng gave the order and charged forward.

The bullet kicked up a cloud of dust at his feet, and he fell into a shallow crater, panting heavily.

Xiao Wang followed behind him, his face pale.

"Instructor, I...I'm scared..."

Xia Mengsheng grabbed his shoulder.

"Listen, it's normal to be scared. But remember, you're a soldier! Now, come with me!"

They crawled forward, bullets whizzing overhead.

Team members number three and four attempted to approach from the other side, but were pinned down behind a boulder by a barrage of fire and unable to move.

"Cover us!"

Xia Mengsheng shouted to team member number five, who immediately set up a machine gun and fired at the bunker to draw fire.

Xia Mengsheng and Xiao Wang seized the opportunity to sprint forward fifty meters, then lay down again.

The No. 5 machine gun suddenly stopped firing.

Xia Mengsheng turned around and saw Number Five lying face up, his chest covered in blood.

"No!"

Xiao Wang let out a sob.

Don't stop! Keep going!

Xia Mengsheng gritted his teeth and ordered, forcing himself not to look at his fallen comrades.

They advanced another few dozen meters, and were now only 150 meters from the bunker.

Suddenly, a sniper rifle rang out, and the third member's head snapped back before he fell silently to the ground.

"Damn it!"

Xia Mengsheng pounded the ground hard.

Team member number four tried to move, but was blocked by machine gun fire. A bullet hit his thigh, and blood immediately soaked through his pants.

"Instructor! I can't move!"

Number Four cried out in anguish.

Xia Mengsheng's brain was working at lightning speed.

Now only he and Xiao Wang are left, and they are still quite a distance from the bunker.

"Xiao Wang, you stay here and cover me."

He commanded.

"I rushed over."

"No! It's too dangerous!"

Xiao Wang grabbed his arm.

"Wow! I can run fast!"

Xia Mengsheng looked at the boy who was ten years younger than him and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"This is my task, my responsibility."

"But you're the political instructor! The company needs you!"

A resolute glint suddenly flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes.

"Let me go!"

Before Xia Mengsheng could respond, Xiao Wang snatched the explosive pack from his back and rushed out.

"Xiao Wang! Come back!"

Xia Mengsheng shouted, but it was too late.

Xiao Wang's small figure weaved through the hail of bullets, miraculously avoiding the first round of fire.

Xia Mengsheng immediately set up his gun and fired continuously into the bunker's firing port in an attempt to cover him.

"Run! Run!"

Xia Mengsheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

Xiao Wang had already rushed to within fifty meters of the bunker.

Xia Mengsheng could almost see a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, a bullet struck Xiao Wang in the shoulder. He staggered but did not stop.

"Keep going! You're almost there!"

Xia Mengsheng continued firing, his heart pounding like a drum.

Just as Xiao Wang was 30 meters away from the bunker, a sniper bullet struck him precisely in the chest.

Xiao Wang's body was spun around like a rag doll by the impact before falling heavily to the ground.

"No!!!"

Xia Mengsheng's roar was heart-wrenching.

He watched helplessly as Xiao Wang struggled to crawl forward, leaving a trail of blood behind him. The explosive charge was still clutched tightly to his chest.

The enemy inside the bunker seemed to be shocked by the scene, and their firepower paused briefly.

Xia Mengsheng seized the opportunity and leaped up to rush towards Xiao Wang.

The bullets whizzed past again, and Xia Mengsheng felt a sharp pain in his left arm, but he didn't have time to check his injury.

He rushed to Xiao Wang's side. Blood was seeping from the corner of the boy's mouth, and his eyes were beginning to glaze over.

"Instructor..."

Xiao Wang was barely breathing.

"I...can't take it anymore..."

"Hold on! I'll take you back!"

Xia Mengsheng tried to pick him up.

Xiao Wang used his last bit of strength to push the explosive charge to him.

"Mission...completed..."

After saying those words, Xiao Wang closed his eyes forever.

Xia Mengsheng felt a wave of dizziness, but reason told him that he had to keep going.

He grabbed the explosive pack stained with Xiao Wang's blood and rushed toward the bunker.

The enemy's firepower intensified, bullets kicking up clouds of dust around him.

Xia Mengsheng felt a sharp pain in his right leg, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, continuing forward.

20 meters... 15 meters... 10 meters...

Just as he was about to reach the bunker's base, a bullet struck him in the abdomen.

Xia Mengsheng staggered and almost fell, but with amazing willpower, he dragged his injured body forward.

Five meters... three meters...

The enemy inside the bunker seemed to realize the danger and concentrated all their firepower on him.

Xia Mengsheng felt another bullet graz his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

Just at this critical moment, a deafening cannon blast suddenly came from behind.

Xia Mengsheng turned around in surprise and saw flames shooting into the sky from the direction of our artillery position. Shells landed precisely around the bunker, suppressing the enemy's firepower.

"It's Commander Lei..."

Xia Mengsheng instantly understood that this was Lei Laohu's secret arrangement for support.

Seizing this precious opportunity, Xia Mengsheng used his last strength to rush to the bunker, placed the explosive charge in a crack in the wall, and lit the fuse.
