Although he felt sad, He Yubo knew that now was not the time to act on emotion.
"We've been trying to contact them, but we haven't been able to get in touch yet." Xie Zhiming sighed.
He looked at He Yubo and felt uncomfortable.
He Yubo now only has He Beichen as his grandson. He has already experienced the pain of seeing his son go. If something happens to his grandson again, Xie Zhiming doesn't know whether his body can hold on.
"Commander, we will try every possible way to get in touch with them. No matter whether we can get in touch with them in the end, as long as they have not returned after the specified time, we will send someone to pick them up. Even if they are within the territory of Vietnam." Xie Zhiming emphasized.
This is the worst-case scenario. Of course, it would be best if He Beichen and the others could return safely.
"If something really happens, we must bring them back. We can't let them lie outside. We have to go home." He Yubo nodded and silently prepared himself mentally.
This mission was extremely dangerous, and He Yubo had prepared himself mentally for this long before He Beichen was about to embark on the mission.
Even He Beichen himself had made this preparation.
"Commander, don't worry too much. With Beichen's ability and the fact that this team consists of carefully selected elites from the army, they have been training for such a long time, so they should be fine." Xie Zhiming saw that he looked unhappy and quickly comforted him.
Although the current situation is not optimistic, it has only been two days since the loss of contact. If they were really intercepted by the Vietnamese State, it would be normal to lose contact during the battle, but this does not mean that something must have happened to them.
With He Beichen's ability, even if he were to fight, there was still a possibility that he would return safely.
"This is a soldier's duty. Being able to serve the country is also his mission." He Yubo's expression
Ever since he joined the army, He Yubo has been prepared to sacrifice his life for his country. Both his son and grandson He Beichen should have been prepared for this as well.
Although he said this, He Yubo couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart whenever he thought about what happened to his only remaining relative.
And his granddaughter-in-law...
We just got married, how are we going to live in the future?
…
While they were discussing this, the situation on He Beichen's side was not good, and the entire team was in danger.
"Oh no, Deputy Captain He, we've been discovered and they're chasing us." Fang Yunfeng caught up from behind with a frown on his face.
There were twenty people in their group, including six researchers. More than twenty people were particularly conspicuous standing together.
Six researchers were surrounded in the middle, wearing new bulletproof vests. These were transferred from other military regions by the troops before departure. In order to keep it secret, even the research institute of their own military region did not know that they actually brought other bulletproof vests.
The bulletproof vest newly developed by Li Xin is very light and does not feel like adding weight when put on. It is very friendly for researchers who have never received physical training.
Otherwise, they would not be able to run in the first place, and adding another layer on their bodies would make it even more difficult.
"You guys, take the researchers and walk in front, walk faster, and go to the forest over there." He Beichen made a quick decision after observing the terrain.
They sneaked into a foreign country, successfully picked up the researcher, and then headed all the way back to their own country.
He just escaped secretly with the researchers without any entry documents, and he had to cross the borders of several countries.
They were able to smuggle themselves through the previous countries relatively smoothly, but after entering the territory of Yue, their previous good luck disappeared.
The State of Yue, which had already received the news, ambushed them on the border in advance. Once they entered the territory of Yue, there was a bloody storm and they finally broke out with great difficulty.
The few people that He Beichen had just targeted were all injured. The other warriors who were in better condition were kept by He Beichen and prepared to fight with him in the back.
They were still some distance away from the border, so He Beichen tried to choose some more complicated terrains to walk on. Although it was not easy to walk, it was easier to hide.
Moreover, it was difficult for them to move, and it was also difficult for the other side to move. They used guerrilla strategy, which was why their team was able to deal with them within the territory of Yue.
The group quickly entered the forest. The soldiers in the team were most familiar with this kind of terrain. Their field training was usually conducted in the mountains and forests. After entering, they felt like fish in water.
In the rear, the pursuing Yue soldiers had arrived and were still outside, firing towards the direction of the forest.
"Be careful to dodge!" He Beichen pulled Fang Yunfeng.
The trees between the mountains and forests were the best cover. Everyone hid while shooting at the Yue soldiers rushing in.
The battle was about to break out, and the surroundings were caught in a hail of bullets.
The six researchers maintained a good attitude and did not get scared and fall behind in this situation.
They followed the warriors, weak and helpless, hiding behind the trees.
"Go! Protect the researcher!" He Beichen gave orders to those people.
The number of soldiers from the State of Yue was large, and they only had twenty people in total. They could not fight the enemy head-on, so they could only defend themselves while running and rush to the border with the researchers as soon as possible.
As long as you can cross the border, you will be safe.
"Everyone else, cover me!" He Beichen held a gun with a sharp look in his eyes.
Those soldiers ran in front with the researchers, and He Beichen provided fire cover, attracting the enemy's attention.
These six researchers had never experienced this before. They had almost no chance to breathe during their escape, and the Yue soldiers stuck to them like dog-skin plasters.
Although they were running as hard as they could, the speed was still a bit slow. Their physical strength had been almost exhausted in the escape, and they had to grit their teeth to persevere.
"Fang Yunfeng, you guys come with me to cover our retreat and delay time here." He Beichen looked at the people running over there and made a quick decision.
He and several soldiers held the line at the back, trying to delay the situation for as long as possible to give the researcher enough time to escape.
"Deputy Captain He, I will stay here with a few brothers to cover our retreat. You should go with the researcher." Fang Yunfeng ran over and fired a volley of bullets at the Yue soldiers who were rushing towards him.
Their mission was to protect the researchers. Fang Yunfeng wanted to take charge himself, and he didn't want He Beichen to be in danger before the mission was completed.
If there is bound to be a sacrifice, at least it shouldn't be He Beichen now.
Only if He Beichen is still there can it be possible to bring the researcher back safely.
"I am the captain!" He Beichen kept aiming and shooting with a determined look on his face.
Faced with danger, there is no reason for the captain to leave first. He must protect the researchers and also protect the team members as much as possible.
