Chapter 484: Hunter and Prey
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips tightly, looked down at her expression, and kissed her between the eyebrows: "Wait for me here."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and hummed lightly, watching Yan Shaoyu walk out of the bushes, take out the pistol from his waist, and shoot the corpse in the chest one by one. After he was done, he was about to return to Gu Yuehuai when he heard footsteps coming from a distance.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes and came to Yan Shaoyu: "It's Meng Hu and the others."
The two men stood in a sea of blood and corpses. The scene was inevitably horrifying. When Meng Hu, He Lanzhang and other people from 168th Platoon arrived, they saw this scene. The corpses of the American soldiers all over the ground made them horrified.
As soon as He Lanzhang saw Gu Yuehuai, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was fine.
"Platoon leader! Doctor Gu! What on earth happened here?" Meng Hu's face turned pale.
Yan Shaoyu's eyes were calm, and he spoke without pausing: "Just as you saw, Wang Xin used a mine to blow up two platoons of enemies. When I came to collect his bodies, I ran into some American soldiers who followed the sound, and I took care of them."
He has always been decisive in his actions, and his words did not arouse any suspicion at all.
The soldiers of the 168th Platoon were all shocked. No matter what happened to Wang Xin or Yan Shaoyu who fought alone and killed dozens of people, they were all achievements worthy of being recorded in history. This time, the 168th Platoon had really made a great contribution.
Yan Shaoyu did not give others a chance to ask more questions. He said in a loud voice, "Meng Hu, you and He Lanzhang go to sort out Wang Xin's body. Groups 2 and 4 will be on guard all around. The rest of you will rest here and clean up the battlefield."
"Yes!" Everyone responded and started to get busy.
Meng Hu's eyes turned red, and under the leadership of Yan Shaoyu, he came to Wang Xin's body.
When he saw his mutilated body, Meng Hu was heartbroken. He choked with sobs and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He Lanzhang's eyes turned red in silence. On the battlefield, they had no chance to cry or grieve. Even when the enemy's firepower was fierce, the bodies of their comrades had to be piled into trenches to protect them from the incoming bullets and explosives.
But they are all new recruits, and since they were assigned to the 168th Platoon, there have been very few casualties under the leadership of Yan Shaoyu. Wang Xin is the only comrade who died in such a tragic way. Wang Xin is a righteous man and deserves their tears.
The two men also saluted towards Wang Xin's body. Then, Meng Hu took off his complete military uniform and put it on Wang Xin. He also used branches to represent broken limbs and stuffed grass leaves into his trouser legs to fill them.
Yan Shaoyu did not disturb them and walked aside with Gu Yuehuai.
She was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't save Wang Xin."
Yan Shaoyu frowned and looked at her. Seeing her slightly lonely expression, he knew that Meng Hu's crying just now had affected her.
He sighed imperceptibly, his eyes serious: "This has nothing to do with you. This is Wang Xin's own choice. As a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the final outcome. You are just a military doctor, not a god."
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips and did not continue on this topic. Instead, he asked: "What should we do next? How many soldiers from Country M are there in Lingchuanyan? Should we continue to fight head-on, or should we act according to the original plan?"
Yan Shaoyu pondered for a moment and shook his head. "There are quite a few soldiers from Country M who have infiltrated Lingchuan Rock. However, a rough estimate is that there are only about 200 of them. Most of them have died today. If no more soldiers are sent in during this period, then with our current strength, we can fight head-on, leave Lingchuan Rock, and encircle and suppress the soldiers from Country M from behind."
His voice was a little deep: "The battle on the front line is not over yet, we need to go back."
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Then fight back, you send them away, I will go with you."
Yan Shaoyu understood what Gu Yuehuai meant. With her there, even if Lingchuanyan had thousands of troops from Country M, it would be difficult for them to escape. She did have the ability to break out with the 168th platoon.
However, he did not want Gu Yuehuai to be exposed too much. This ability was indeed very strong, but the more powerful the ability was, the more covetous it would be. If it was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be very terrible.
Gu Yuehuai looked at the silent Yan Shaoyu, pursed his lips and said: "You have been keeping the Yan family's affairs in your heart for many years, and you must always solve them. Only by gaining military merit can you return to the capital in glory. I came all the way to the front line just to help you."
After a pause, Gu Yuehuai continued: "Besides, the reason I have this ability is actually because of you."
Hearing this, Yan Shaoyu was slightly surprised and looked puzzled.
Gu Yuehuai did not hide it any longer, and said with a smile: "Jade token."
Yan Shaoyu was slightly shocked, and a wave of emotion appeared in his eyes. After a while, his brows relaxed: "So that's how it is."
Seeing the understanding expression on his face, Gu Yuehuai blinked: "Do you regret it?"
Yan Shaoyu was stunned and asked suspiciously: "What do you regret?"
"I regret giving me the jade token." Gu Yuehuai smiled. The power of healing was self-evident. Although it was an ability born from the fusion with her Sumeru Space, it was also given by Yan Shaoyu.
Yan Shaoyu was stunned at first, then he flicked Gu Yuehuai's brow in annoyance and said, "What are you thinking about? The jade token is an heirloom of our Yan family, left to the eldest daughter-in-law. It has never changed from generation to generation."
"Since you can gain abilities from it, it means that the jade token is meant for you. You are the destined eldest daughter-in-law of my Yan family. Why should I regret it? Could it be that I would covet your abilities? You think too narrowly of me."
"What's more, I'm on the front line and have been worried about your safety. I'm very relieved to have such a skill."
Every word Yan Shaoyu said was full of sincerity. At the end, he raised his big hand and placed it on the top of Gu Yuehuai's head and patted it gently, as if to comfort him. He curled his thin lips slightly. Knowing the origin, he felt more relieved.
Gu Yuehuai's eyes curved and he smiled: "Let's go, settle the matter on the front line as soon as possible, and go back to hold the wedding as soon as possible."
Yan Shaoyu laughed briefly and nodded, "Okay!"
After the soldiers of the 168th platoon cleared the battlefield, Yan Shaoyu ordered them to form groups of five and five and ambush in the bushes with heavy firepower. Once they encountered enemies from Country M, they were to open fire and kill them quickly. The newly acquired batch of guns and bullets were enough to support their consumption.
He and Gu Yuehuai shuttled through the woods, clearing out the remaining enemy soldiers.
This time, with Gu Yuehuai here, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed.
As they traveled along the way, they encountered five waves of soldiers from Country M. After annihilating them all, they continued on their way.
The couple moved very quickly, and in the evening, they arrived at the temporary camp of Country M at Lingchuan Rock. This place was obviously much more "luxurious" than the cave under the cliff, and there were even two military vehicles.
There were people coming and going in the camp, mostly kitchen staff carrying food, and also sentries patrolling.
