Chapter 305 We'll celebrate his return by slaughtering a pig!
"These marked points, no more, no less, are exactly the only three islands and reefs in the 'Bewitching Reef' archipelago that have natural freshwater caves! They are the only supply points in this desperate situation!"
This seemingly absurd "childlike" evidence turned out to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It was too coincidental, so coincidental that it transcended logic and touched upon some kind of mysterious mystery.
"I believe in this child! I believe that kid Gu Beichen won't die so easily!"
In the corner, an old general with gray hair and a star on his shoulder suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his eyes wide open.
“I’ve dealt with that kid Gu Beichen before! He’s an ungrateful wolf cub, incredibly cunning! This is definitely one of his tricks, trying to wipe out the enemy and us all at once!”
Just then.
"bell--!"
The red encrypted phone on the conference table emitted a piercing sound.
The commander strode over and answered the call. After listening to only a few words, he suddenly stood up straight.
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
He put down the phone, and before he could say anything, another red phone rang again.
This time, the commander remained silent for a full half minute after listening.
He put down the phone, slowly walked up to Su Yue, and gave her a standard military salute with unprecedented solemnity.
"Comrade Su Yue, we have just received a joint order from the General Staff and the South China Sea Fleet's Supreme Command."
"From this moment forward, I will unconditionally cooperate with all your reasonable deductions!"
Deputy Commander Ma slumped in his chair, and the operations staff behind him could clearly hear his heavy breathing.
The commander turned around, strode to the map, picked up his baton, and slammed it heavily on the area of "Bewitching Reef".
"Order! The search and rescue operation is immediately switched to 'Operation Decoy'! All search and rescue vessels and aircraft shall remain in place to create a false impression and confuse the enemy!"
"Order! The elite 'Azure Dragon' special forces team, assemble immediately and depart in five minutes! Following the direction designated by Comrade Su Yue, secretly infiltrate 'Bewitching Reef' to carry out an infiltration and decapitation mission!"
"yes!"
In the command center, a thunderous response erupted.
Before the operation began.
A fit young captain with his face painted with greasepaint ran past Su Yue with his squad.
He is the captain of the "Azure Dragon" special operations team.
"etc."
Su Yue stopped him.
She took out a small, waterproof brocade pouch wrapped tightly in oilcloth from her pocket and handed it over.
The captain took it with some confusion.
Su Yue leaned closer and whispered in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"If you find him, give this to him."
Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Tell him that everything is fine at home, and we'll slaughter a pig to celebrate when he gets back."
......
A deserted island in the South China Sea.
The damp cave was filled with the smell of blood and the salty tang of the sea.
Gu Beichen knelt on the ground and skillfully tore open a soldier's uniform.
He took out the herbs wrapped in oil paper from his pocket; they were the "Seven Star Grass" that Su Yue had taught him.
The unique spots on the herb leaves are a little secret he and his wife share.
He crushed the herbs and applied them to the wound on the soldier's calf.
The wound was so deep that bone was visible, and flesh was mangled and bloody. The soldier groaned in pain, his teeth clenched tightly.
"Bear with it." Gu Beichen's voice was low.
"Commander, how much ammunition do we have left?" Another soldier, Xiao Li, leaned against the rock wall, his voice weak.
"Not many left." Gu Beichen didn't hide anything.
They were the only five people left on the patrol boat.
The attack was sudden; the patrol boat was hit by a shell and instantly disintegrated.
Gu Beichen led the surviving soldiers in a desperate swim to this deserted island.
There was no fresh water or supplies on the deserted island.
The enemy, like sharks that have smelled blood, relentlessly pursued them.
Outside the island, engines roared.
The thugs hired by Baicaotang are conducting a massive search.
"Gu Beichen, you Chinese mutt!" A gruff voice, thick with a foreign accent, boomed across the deserted island through a loudspeaker. "Stop hiding! Come out and face your death! Your life is worth a million US dollars! Capture you alive, and the bounty will be doubled!"
The leader of the outlaws, a burly white man with a face full of scars, was shouting arrogantly.
"These beasts!" Xiao Li cursed.
Gu Beichen remained silent.
He bandaged the soldier's wounds and checked the rifle in his hand.
They had only a dozen or so bullets left in their magazine. They were trapped here, out of ammunition and food.
He walked out of the cave and came to the cave entrance.
The subtropical jungle is lush and verdant, with vines intertwined.
Using his familiarity with the jungle, he began to set up a simple trap.
He used tough vines to fix several sharpened bamboo poles to the tree trunk, disguising it as a safe passage.
They dug shallow pits below the passageway and inserted more bamboo skewers.
The trap is well hidden and difficult to detect.
Time passed second by second. Night fell, and the chirping of insects filled the jungle.
"rustle……"
The sound of faint footsteps came from deep within the jungle.
A three-person search team is cautiously approaching the cave.
They held automatic rifles and cautiously scanned their surroundings.
The trap was triggered the moment they stepped into the "pathway" set up by Gu Beichen.
"Pfft!"
Several bamboo spears bounced off the ground and instantly pierced the chests of the two soldiers at the front.
The two didn't even have time to utter a scream before they fell silently to the ground.
The third soldier retreated in terror, but lost his footing and fell into the pit, where he was pierced by sharp bamboo skewers below.
Gu Beichen burst out of the shadows. He moved swiftly, snatching the weapon from the enemy's hand.
Xiao Li and two other soldiers also rushed over.
They quickly looted the enemy's ammunition and grenades.
"Commander, we have ammunition!" Xiao Li exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't be too happy yet." Gu Beichen's voice was completely calm.
They had temporarily eased the crisis, but with the enemy outnumbering them, their situation remained precarious.
A young soldier, Xiao Zhang, was pale. He clutched the rifle he had stolen tightly, his body trembling slightly.
"Commander, can we...can we still make it back alive?" His voice was choked with sobs.
Gu Beichen walked up to Xiao Zhang. He took out half of a photograph from his pocket.
The photo is a bit blurry, but it shows Su Yue holding two children and smiling brightly on the beach.
"For them," Gu Beichen said softly. His eyes held an unprecedented resolve. "We must survive."
Looking at the woman and child in the photo, tears welled up in Xiao Zhang's eyes. He gripped the gun tightly, his gaze gradually hardening.
