"With the three of us working together, there will definitely be no problem!" Xie Ziai said confidently.
In the entire medical department, the most skilled are the sisters Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo. They were assigned to a group with Qiao Xinruo. Although there were only three of them, their skills were definitely not inferior to those five-person groups.
"Everyone stay alert and don't let your guard down for a moment," Qiao Xinruo said, her eyes fixed on the outside so she could react quickly to any situation.
“According to intelligence and maps, the enemy’s stronghold is located here,” Ye Yongnian pointed to the circled dots on the map. “There are also people around here. If we want to take them down in one fell swoop, we need to split into several groups and attack at the same time.”
Qi Xinyuan nodded, agreeing with Ye Yongnian's temporary change of strategy.
At first, I thought there was only one hideout, but when I got there, I found out that it was a cunning rabbit with three burrows, and there were many ambushes nearby.
Therefore, the initial operational plan was too idealistic and had to be adjusted on the spot after arriving at the scene.
“Captain, we will each lead a team,” Qi Xinyuan said.
"Two teams are far from enough," Ye Yongnian shook his head.
He already had a new plan in mind.
“We need to split into four groups. I’ll take half of the men straight to the center of the stronghold, and you take the other half to this hideout,” Ye Yongnian said, pointing to the hideout furthest from the stronghold. It was closer to the border with Yu Kingdom than the other hideouts and was a dangerous location. “The rest of the men will split into two groups to clear out the other hideouts.”
The other hideouts are relatively less populated and there are no gang leaders there to oversee them, making them easier to clean up.
"Okay." Qi Xinyuan nodded and immediately arranged for manpower allocation.
A major battle is imminent.
Qiao Xinruo and the other two guarded the medical point. After watching the soldiers get ready, they left the encampment like dragons and attacked the breakthrough point.
"rush--"
The gangs seemed to have received the news as well. They originally thought they would be caught off guard, but they never expected that the gangs had anticipated this day and even took precautions in advance.
It turns out that the other hideouts were all smokescreens. They only sent out a few people to create the illusion that there were still a lot of people at this hideout, when in fact all the troops had already gathered near the stronghold.
When Ye Yongnian led half of his men to charge forward, they were completely outnumbered by the enemy.
"They've fallen for our trap, brothers, charge!"
"Grab your weapons and charge!"
Ye Yongnian then noticed that the enemy's so-called weapons were not cold weapons, but live ammunition.
"These people are utterly lawless!" Ye Yongnian knew he had fallen into a trap, but the battle had already begun, and he had nowhere to retreat. He whispered to the soldier beside him, "I'll hold them off with the others. You quickly go and notify Qi Xinyuan and the other two groups to come and provide support as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Captain!" The soldier immediately hid and waited for an opportunity to leave.
Qiao Xinruo wasn't idle either. After the main group left, she kept checking the situation with binoculars and quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Oh no!" Qiao Xinruo exclaimed.
Xu Luxin and Xie Ziai came out of the tent and poked their heads out, asking, "What happened? Did the raid fail?"
“Our men may have fallen into a trap!” Qiao Xinruo said, immediately handing the binoculars to the two of them and analyzing, “Commander Ye’s group has obviously been ambushed, and there are hardly any people in the place where Deputy Commander Qi and the other two groups went. We are now at a disadvantage!”
The situation on the battlefield can change in an instant.
Time is money. A wrong judgment or decision can reverse the original advantages and disadvantages, and even lead to completely different results.
Ye Yongnian originally had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, but the opponent was prepared and immediately mobilized manpower, which has now put Ye Yongnian at a disadvantage.
"Ye Tuan, this can't go on, we'll be worn down!"
"Hold on! I've already sent someone to deliver a message. Let's hold on a little longer!" Ye Yongnian gritted his teeth and resisted stubbornly, trying to stabilize the morale of his troops.
Qiao Xinruo's analysis was almost entirely accurate.
But the most important thing now is to figure out a way to break the deadlock.
"What do we do then? Just wait to die?" Xu Luxin asked. If reinforcements didn't arrive in time, half of the men Ye Yongnian brought might be sacrificed.
“Impossible. Given Commander Ye’s personality, he would never wait to die. He would definitely notify Deputy Commander Qi and the other two groups immediately. But there aren’t many people he can send, and time is very tight. I think…” Qiao Xinruo had an idea.
"Tell me!" Xie Ziai said anxiously.
“It’s a bit risky. Let’s split up. One of us will go and notify Deputy Regiment Commander Qi. The three of us will split into three groups. This will be much faster and we can buy some time, since our medical station is located in this central area. Theoretically, this will be the fastest way,” Qiao Xinruo said.
“Then there’s no one here at the medical station? No, if wounded soldiers are brought in along the way and we don’t have anyone to treat them in time, people might die.” Xu Luxin immediately objected to the plan of leaving the city empty.
“Okay then,” Xie Ziai quickly made a decision, “I’ll go and inform Deputy Regiment Commander Qi. Old Xu, you’ll have to trouble yourself to inform the other two groups. Xinruo will stay at the medical point. Even if wounded soldiers are brought in, she can stabilize their lives on her own. After we’ve informed them, we’ll return to the medical point immediately.”
"Judging from the current situation, someone from Ye Tuan's side will definitely be sent back soon."
After discussing it, the three of them felt that this was the most comprehensive approach they could think of at the moment, and they quickly implemented it, racing against time!
Qiao Xinruo wasn't idle while guarding the medical point. She kept her binoculars on her side, observing the situation at several outposts. If she found any wounded soldiers to be transported back, she could start preparations.
The medical station was well-located, and Xu Luxin and Xie Ziai quickly completed the task of notifying the staff.
Fortunately, the leaders of the other three groups were not stupid either. When they arrived and found that there were many troops, they immediately realized that it was a trap and began to move to a different position.
In this way, everyone's quick and correct decisions saved Ye Yongnian a lot of time.
The people at the largest stronghold were well prepared, and after discovering that Ye Yongnian was the captain, they all pointed their guns at him.
"Damn, they've really gone all out; they're all wearing bulletproof vests!"
"Brothers, go for the head, or attack the lower body!"
With bulletproof vests, even if you get shot, you won't die, it will only impair your combat effectiveness. But these enemies aren't stupid. They know that a temporary tactic won't last long and they have to finish the battle quickly. Otherwise, once the others react and reinforcements arrive, the tide of battle will turn again.
However, the support arrived much faster than they had imagined.
"Brother, another group of people has appeared!"
"We can't delay any longer, kill that captain!"
