The soldiers divided into teams and went to the border to ambush.
During the day, Yue's patrols were weaker, with relatively fewer patrolling soldiers.
Through observation, Ding Cheng's team found that before the change of guard, when it was dawn, the Yue soldiers were the most tired. After a night of patrol, they would soon be changing guards, and most of the Yue soldiers would go to rest.
Only a few of them would insist on patrolling, while the others would yawn, rest against the trees, and wait for their shift change.
The soldiers in the ambush squad took action and did eliminate some lone Yue soldiers.
The scale was not large, and with the change of defense, it did not attract the attention of the Yue State.
As more and more soldiers were lying in ambush on the border, it wasn't long before someone discovered that comrades from the capital had come out to investigate inside the border.
"We saw someone. Should we notify the battalion commander?" the soldier in ambush asked the person next to him.
"Even if we notify the battalion commander now, he won't be able to come in time. The other side will retreat soon." The soldier next to him shook his head. This kind of thing can only be reported later.
Several people in the team were staring at the capital soldier, who only popped his head out from time to time. If the hiding method was not the same and they were not very familiar with it, they would not have discovered the other party so quickly.
"If only he could find us too..." A soldier stared and couldn't help but sigh.
This sentence made the team leader among the five people's eyes light up. It is not difficult to do this.
They only need to deliberately cause a little noise, and the comrades of the Capital Team who come out to investigate will be able to notice them coming.
Sure enough, the capital's soldiers soon noticed them and were faintly excited.
After such a long time, he finally saw reinforcements. Although they were still some distance away, he felt that he had seen hope of breaking out!
Looking at the gesture made by the person outside, he immediately responded.
Although they were far apart and there were Vietnamese soldiers blocking the way, it did not prevent the two sides from communicating through gestures.
He went back quickly and told everyone the news.
"Give priority to the researchers when it comes to dry food. We don't have to be as frugal as before. We should be able to break out in the next two days." The returning capital soldier said to them.
During this period, the researchers have been hiding in the cave. Although they did not go out to run around, they rested here. They were not very adapted to it. One of them even fell ill, but fortunately they had medicine.
However, the researcher's physical fitness is still not as good as those soldiers. Even if he took medicine, he would not recover so quickly, and there are not enough supplies.
After all the trouble, they had to eat their dry food sparingly and their stomachs were never full.
The researchers were weak and now trapped inside the cave, the four of them had noticeably decreased strength and it was no use being trapped here any longer.
They divided the dry food among themselves and gave some more to the researchers.
When Ding Cheng heard the information sent back by the team, he immediately made arrangements. The team members waited for the capital soldiers to arrive again at the agreed location.
After informing the other party of the next plan through gestures, the capital warriors went back excitedly.
"The soldiers who came here told us to hide near the border tonight, wait for their actions, and cooperate with them to break out at any time." He returned to the cave and immediately told the good news.
The soldiers in the cave were very excited as they finally saw hope of breaking out.
The researcher also smiled. After hiding in the cave for several days, he was finally able to get out.
The researchers were all very happy at the thought of returning to their country.
…
Late at night, five soldiers took advantage of the cover of darkness and brought four researchers to hide near the agreed border line without attracting the attention of the Vietnamese soldiers.
According to the observation of Ding Cheng's team, this is the weakest point in Yue State's defense, and it is far away from Yue State's sentry tower in this area. Once a conflict occurs, the soldiers resting at the sentry tower will not be able to arrive in the first time.
Taking advantage of the night, Ding Cheng's team has quietly eliminated some nearby Yue soldiers. Compared to the night before when they had to be careful not to arouse the suspicion of Yue, they can be said to have no scruples tonight.
"Captain, we have seen the researchers." A soldier saw the researchers hiding not far away and immediately pointed them out to Ding Cheng.
In order to pick up the researcher, Ding Cheng led the team to sneak in, and almost the entire team was lying in ambush nearby.
Ding Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that all the researchers were there.
In the early morning, when it was almost dawn, Ding Cheng took advantage of the time when the guards were the most lax and issued the order for a surprise attack.
The squad suddenly appeared from the grass in front of the Vietnamese soldiers and threw grenades wildly.
The Vietnamese soldiers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties before they could even counterattack.
The explosion caused by the grenade had just ended when Ding Cheng led his team forward and fought with the Yue soldiers.
"Now is the time, let's go!" The capital's soldiers seized the opportunity and led the researchers to escape towards the border line while taking advantage of the chaos.
"Someone has crossed the border! Send a signal immediately!" A Vietnamese soldier spotted them and shouted.
Signals were sent out one after another. The Yue soldiers didn't even care about Ding Cheng and his men's sneak attack. They rushed forward and tried to stop the researchers.
"Stop! I'll shoot if you don't stop!" the Vietnamese soldier shouted from behind.
The situation was urgent, but the Vietnamese soldiers did not shoot at the researchers immediately. They still wanted to capture them alive at this time.
The capital soldiers did not ask the researchers to stop, but urged them to run faster. Three of the five soldiers stayed behind to cover their retreat and fired at the pursuing Vietnamese soldiers.
The Yue soldiers raised their guns and fought back, and Ding Cheng quickly led his men forward to support them.
Gunshots rang out and bullets flew everywhere. The researcher ran headfirst in front, led by two soldiers, running towards the border.
"Be careful!" Li Jiuyuan was running when he heard the sound of bullets flying past him. Worried that his wife could not keep up, he quickly pulled her and subconsciously moved forward to help her block the bullets.
Although both of them were wearing bulletproof vests, the blow just now did not land on the vest, but instead brushed past Su Miao's neck.
"Brother Yuan!" Su Miao looked at the bullet wound on his arm and wanted to check his wound anxiously.
"Well...it's okay, let's escape from the border first!" Li Jiuyuan's arm was bleeding and his face was pale with pain, but at this moment he was trying to comfort Su Miao first.
He used his uninjured hand to pull Su Miao and ran towards the border line ahead.
Seeing that they were about to run out of the border, the Vietnamese soldiers became anxious. Most of them gathered together and attacked this side fiercely, trying to keep the people here.
However, Ding Cheng did not give them this opportunity. He took the lead and rushed to the front, using more powerful firepower to severely beat back the Yue soldiers who tried to catch up.
The researcher ran towards the border line without stopping at all, braving the hail of bullets.
