Zhao Lihan's mind replayed the tragic scene like a movie, frozen in time, unable to shake it off. The comrade who had fought alongside him, a brother, had just fallen defenselessly under the enemy's merciless gunfire.
He stared wide-eyed, intently staring ahead, as if trying to see through the void to see the fallen figures of his comrades. His eyes were instantly soaked with tears, not tears of weakness, but tears filled with endless grief and rage.
He could no longer control himself and shouted angrily, "You son of a bitch, go to hell!"
He held the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger, followed by a burst of "bang bang" sounds. The sound passed through the sky, and the enemy had fallen down. He had no intention of stopping until the bullets in the gun were used up.
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "You ungrateful bastards! Today I'm going to make you pay with blood! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Just then a comrade handed over a gun loaded with bullets.
He turned his head and suddenly found that an enemy's gun was aimed at them. He pushed Zhao Lihan away and shouted, "Captain, be careful! There are enemies on the right..."
Hearing this warning, Zhao Lihan immediately turned sideways like lightning, scanning his surroundings with a sharp gaze. As expected, he immediately saw the enemy holding a weapon and rushing towards his comrade like a hungry tiger.
In a flash, Zhao Lihan stretched out his hand without hesitation and pushed his comrade away. The comrade fell to the ground in an instant, and the bullet just passed by and landed on a tree trunk.
His comrade successfully escaped the disaster, and Zhao Lihan quickly raised the gun in his hand, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger.
With a crisp "bang", the bullet shot out like an arrow, hitting the enemy accurately. The enemy didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.
However, the battle was not over. Just as Zhao Lihan had just eliminated one enemy, another group of enemies surged out of the cave like a tide. They were numerous and aggressive, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
Faced with this sudden situation, Zhao Lihan and his comrades did not panic at all. They quickly adjusted their positions, standing back to back, tightly surrounding each other in a circle, forming an indestructible line of defense.
The enemy rushed in from all directions, their attacks were as fierce as a storm, but Zhao Lihan and his comrades were not afraid. They responded to every enemy attack calmly, and the guns in their hands kept spitting out tongues of fire, knocking the enemies to the ground one after another.
Under their powerful firepower, the enemies, who had been so aggressive, gradually began to panic. Their attacks became chaotic and disorganized. Some even turned and fled, trying to escape this terrible battlefield.
After a thrilling gunfight, the team was breathless, but they dared not slack off. They quickly passed through the dense jungle and finally came to an open area with bright sunshine and lush green grass, which was in stark contrast to the fierce battle scene just now.
At this time, the young soldier who was rescued by Zhao Lihan stood in front of Zhao Lihan and saluted. He said, "Thank you, Captain, you saved my life just now." His voice was choked with sobs.
Zhao Lihan patted his shoulder and said, "Huzi, you are my soldier. I certainly cannot let you fall under the enemy's gun. I have already lost one comrade, and I cannot lose another. I have the responsibility to protect every member of the squad." After that, he patted his shoulder again and said, "Go and rest!"
Zhao Lihan took a military map from the communicator and discussed the retreat route with several comrades.
He said solemnly, "Everyone, our mission this time is reconnaissance, not engagement. Our goal is to gather as much useful intelligence as possible without attracting the enemy's attention, and to transmit this intelligence safely and accurately back to headquarters within the allotted time. This not only concerns our own safety, but also the direction of the entire battle. Therefore, everyone must remain calm and avoid direct confrontation with the enemy to preserve our strength. Remember, our mission is reconnaissance, not combat!"
The team members answered in unison: "Got it."
After a short rest, they began to march quickly again. Soon, they found a village not far away. The village looked quite old, with houses scattered in an orderly manner. However, the whole village was unusually quiet, without a single human voice, rooster crow, or dog barking. The silence was so strange that it even made people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression and fear.
Filled with suspicion, the squad cautiously approached the old house. As they drew closer, the door suddenly flung open, and several seemingly ordinary people rushed out. Their faces were filled with panic, and their eyes revealed deep fear.
However, judging from their slightly unfamiliar and stiff gun-holding postures, these people had obviously only just come into contact with guns and were still in the stage of learning how to shoot. However, among this group of people, there was a tall and thin man who stood out.
He held a cigarette in his mouth, and amidst the smoke, his mouth kept opening and closing, uttering a series of gibberish that was difficult to understand. Although his companions' faces showed some degree of timidity, under the leadership of this tall and thin man, they still mustered their courage and slowly walked towards the small team not far ahead.
At this time, the soldiers of the squad had become extremely alert and cautious due to the various events they had experienced before. They knew that they could not be easily fooled by appearances, so even if the identities of these people seemed innocent, as long as they posed a threat to them, they would never show mercy.
As expected, the men on the other side suddenly raised their guns, aimed without hesitation at the squad members, and pulled the trigger. Instantly, gunfire echoed throughout the area, and bullets rained down on the squad.
However, the soldiers of the squad were no pushovers. Faced with such a ferocious enemy attack, they responded quickly, fighting back with agility and precise shooting skills. The two sides engaged in a fierce and thrilling gun battle.
After a fierce battle, the gunfire finally died down and the defeated soldiers fled into the mountains.
The soldiers of the squad successfully repelled the enemy and hurried back to where the soldier Xiao Ma was. But when they arrived, they found that Xiao Ma had stopped breathing...
