Chapter 286 A Race Against Time, The Decisive Battle Begins. Xu Gaogui also approached, his face as white as paper. He had been in charge of tallying battle losses from the rear: "Jiang Yan... our casualty ratio... has exceeded ten to one. If we continue fighting, in five minutes... no, within three minutes, we will be completely wiped out."
Jiang Yan closed his eyes wearily and leaned against the sandbag behind him.
He knew that what Xu Gaogui said was true.
They have exhausted all means.
Traps, fortifications, tactics... all seem so pale and powerless in the face of overwhelming troop strength, firepower, and equipment.
"What about Su An..." Zhuoyue asked, panting heavily, voicing the last hope in everyone's hearts, "Is there still no news from Su An?"
This question, like a needle, pierced Jiang Yan's heart.
He longed for that ever-confident and calm voice to come through the walkie-talkie, to tell him that she had already captured the enemy's stronghold.
However, since the start of the exercise, the raiding team has vanished without a trace.
Jiang Yan slowly shook his head.
A sense of powerlessness and despair, like icy seawater, began to slowly engulf his heart.
Could it be that Su An and her group... have been completely wiped out?
No, impossible!
Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes, shook his head, and forced himself to drive this terrible thought out of his mind.
He had to believe in Su An. ...She would never fail so easily!
They need time! They definitely need more time!
Thinking this, a resolute will once again took hold of Jiang Yan. He picked up a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle left behind by a fallen comrade, checked the magazine, and then aimed it at the dozen or so soldiers remaining beside him.
"Brothers! Hang in there one last time!"
"Su An and her comrades are fighting in the heart of the enemy! Every minute we hold on increases their chances of victory! We are their last shield!"
He pulled back the bolt with a "clatter," the crisp metallic clang particularly jarring in the trench.
"For the honor of Battalion Three! To ensure their sacrifices are not in vain! Follow me! Fight them to the death!"
"Let's give it our all!"
"Fight them!!"
The last dozen or so soldiers were completely ignited by Jiang Yan's fighting spirit.
They knew this was the final battle.
Fear and despair were cast aside at this moment, replaced by a frenzied and tragic madness of mutual destruction.
With bloodshot eyes and guns at the ready, they followed Jiang Yan, preparing to launch a final, suicidal counterattack against the charging Second Battalion.
Battalion No. 3 has reached its final, desperate situation.
However, in this critical moment, when it was a fight to the death...
On the hillside, Yuan Bao, who was leisurely watching the "cat and mouse" game through binoculars with his legs crossed, suddenly heard a panicked voice coming from the walkie-talkie on his waist.
"Brother Leopard! Something's happened! Brother Leopard!!"
"Our headquarters...our headquarters has been attacked!! Those bastards in Battalion Three actually sent men to launch a sneak attack!"
"What did you say?!"
Yuan Bao's smug smile froze instantly. He jumped up as if struck by lightning, grabbed the walkie-talkie at his waist, and roared into it, spitting everywhere.
"Bullshit! Where's Zhou Lang?! I left a platoon of elite soldiers to guard the place! What is Zhou Lang good for?! Is that gun in his hand a tree branch?!"
We've fallen for their trap?
He finally realized that the thing he thought was most unlikely had actually happened.
That damn Jiang Yan!
That seemingly useless guy who only knew how to hold his ground actually pulled off a "feigned attack while secretly advancing" stunt against him!
Just as Yuan Bao was filled with shock and anger, and his composure was thrown into disarray...
On the battlefield, the astute Jiang Yan seized this fleeting opportunity!
He clearly saw that the overwhelming offensive of the Second Battalion on the other side suddenly slowed down and became chaotic.
Some of the soldiers at the front even subconsciously looked back in the direction of their commander, their faces filled with confusion.
Now!
"Counterattack!!"
