There were a lot of gunshots around, and besides Fang Yunfeng, others were also attacking.
"Fang Yunfeng, what kind of flare did you release?" He Beichen noticed something was wrong and asked quickly.
"?" Fang Yunfeng heard the question and looked up at the sky almost at the same time as He Beichen.
The red flares can be seen clearly even in the smoke, breaking through layers of fog.
"No, I clearly..." Fang Yunfeng panicked and quickly looked at the flare on his body.
The green flare for retreat is still on him, but the red flare for attack has disappeared.
How could this happen?
He remembered that what he had just picked up was green, so how could it turn red?
"Did I just become red-green color blind?" Fang Yunfeng muttered, and quickly took out the green flare, preparing to set off another one.
"Forget it." He Beichen held his hand.
"Captain, the smoke is about to clear!" the young soldier next to him reminded.
He Beichen immediately touched his waist, the smoke bombs he brought with him had been used up, and he looked at Fang Yunfeng again.
"I don't have any left either. I threw them all out just now." Fang Yunfeng quickly shook his head.
The same was true for the two young soldiers beside him. Just now, under Fang Yunfeng's order, they threw out all the smoke bombs on them.
"Hide!" He Beichen immediately ordered.
He fired three shots into the air in a very regular pattern, alerting the others to take cover.
Although the current situation is not good, as long as we can hold this group of people back, it will definitely not be a problem for the researchers to escape safely from Vietnam.
Before the smoke cleared, all the members of the two teams hid in the woods. As soon as the Yue soldiers regained their sight, they saw that everything around them was quiet, as if there was no one there.
Dozens of their people were knocked down just now, and many were injured. Their situation can only be described as tragic!
"This squad has strong firepower and uses a hit-and-run guerrilla strategy. They're very likely the team led by the man named He mentioned in the letter, who specializes in confusing us and delaying our forces. We can't keep stalling with them!"
The soldiers around the leader immediately stepped forward to analyze with him that they had been fooled twice, and if they were fooled again this time, they would be laughed out loud.
"In other words, the hostage is most likely not with this group of people?"
"According to my analysis, it should be!"
"...The most important thing now is to capture the hostages. Leave one team here to continue searching, and the others follow me!" The leader of Yue State made a quick decision.
He is very smart and calm enough. Even when there are so many casualties, he does not want to fight anymore.
For Vietnam, the most important thing is to retrieve the hostages. Only by keeping the hostages in their hands can they have the capital to continue negotiations. Otherwise, they will not be able to control China at all.
"yes!"
The leader walked away with the other soldiers and launched a large-scale search in the vicinity, including near the border, almost using a carpet search method, in order to find the hostages.
He gave the order quickly, and the Vietnamese soldiers launched a carpet search.
He Beichen hid in the dark and quietly eliminated the Yue soldiers who rushed up several times.
Now these Yue soldiers are not interested in fighting, and the delaying tactics are of no use at all. Fang Yunfeng has not released the signal flare for retreat, and it is not appropriate to release it now, as the signal flare will only expose their whereabouts.
The twins hid in the jungle, facing the Yue soldiers searching in the woods, like killers in the woods.
They were moving like the wind, looking for He Beichen's whereabouts. They had something they wanted to discuss with He Beichen.
After all the trouble, it is now the late night and dawn will be here soon. The situation will not be favorable for them then, so they must retreat from here as soon as possible.
"Found it! There are footprints here. They must have run along this road. Hurry and notify others!"
The two Vietnamese soldiers searched very carefully, holding military night lights in their hands and shining them on the ground.
In front of the two of them, there was a series of footprints. It looked like many people had walked there, and the shoe prints were deep and shallow.
Those were left behind when the five soldiers and the researcher ran away. Because they ran too fast, they did not clean up the footprints.
If these two soldiers went back, called the others over, and continued chasing along this road, they might actually be able to catch the person.
Now, apart from He Beichen who saw from the drone where the researcher had run to, even the twins didn't know the specific situation.
There were only two Yue soldiers. Su Minghao, who was hiding in the dark, made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Su Jinrong.
Su Jinrong immediately understood and nodded to Su Minghao.
When the two Yue soldiers turned around, the two men appeared like ghosts and quickly killed them with the daggers in their hands.
After dealing with the two soldiers, the twins quickly covered up all the footprints on the ground.
"We must notify He Beichen as soon as possible." Su Jinrong said in a low voice.
The two continued to look for He Beichen, and if they encountered footprints left by the researcher's escape on the way, they would help cover them up.
He Beichen found a relatively safe hiding spot and asked Fang Yunfeng to provide cover nearby. He took out the drone again and began to check the surrounding situation.
Because of their previous dispersion and concealment, everyone was scattered quite far away. It was not easy to gather these scattered soldiers again without attracting the attention of the Yue soldiers.
Flares cannot be used now, so we must think of a suitable solution.
He Beichen first used a drone to check the area near the border, but found no trace of the researcher. He searched around again, but there was indeed no trace of him. Neither the researcher nor the soldiers escorting them were found.
Could it be that they have been discovered by the Yue soldiers?
His heart skipped a beat, and he controlled the drone to check the situation of the Vietnamese soldiers.
A carpet search was still underway near the border, and the woods were filled with Vietnamese soldiers, all holding military lights. Looking down from above in the darkness, they could even be seen as one continuous entity.
Judging from the state of these Yue soldiers, it doesn't look like they have found the researcher.
He looked towards the base again. Most of the base was empty. Except for the injured, most of the soldiers who were originally there had been sent out to pursue them.
Although I don’t know where the researcher is hiding, he should not have fallen into the hands of the Yue State.
"Captain, in two or three hours... it will be dawn." Fang Yunfeng dealt with the two Vietnamese soldiers who came searching for him and couldn't help but run to He Beichen. "We can't delay any longer. Let's take the risk and send out a retreat signal flare."
"It's all because I messed up the flare just now. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. I'll go somewhere far away and place it by myself."
