"What did he shout?" As Qu Sen asked 035, he reached out and turned on the gyroscope of "Nightingale". He then took over the control lever and barely managed to steer the body of the drone to avoid a few branches from below.
"I think he shouted … 'Stop', yes, stop!" 035 was completely panicking. The workhorse team was still two kilometers away from the ambush point. If they were alarmed at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It must be known that the group of unidentified armed refugees, although each of them looked skinny, they grew up in the mountains. Although the special forces were well-trained, in the vast mountains, it was difficult to outrun them.
"Don't panic, it's okay." Qu Sen said. He had already stabilized the body of "Nightingale" in his hands. Relying on the power of the three motors, he moved diagonally to the other side of the trunk. After avoiding the direct line of sight of the workhorse team, he began to slowly descend.
Although "Nightingale" could still barely fly with the three motors, its sensitivity would be greatly reduced. Obviously, it could no longer continue the monitoring mission.
"You have internal problems ~" The drone had not yet completed its landing when it received another shout.
"What do you mean?" Qu Sen hurriedly asked 035.
The soldiers of the special forces only learned the common language of Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand for a period of time after the change of guard. 035 was already a little panicked at this time. His mind was in a mess. When he heard the shout from the direction of the workhorse team, he was a little confused.
"You have internal problems!" Another shout rang out.
Although Qu Sen couldn't understand what the other party was shouting about, it didn't sound like something unexpected had happened. He calmed himself down and pressed the call button to ask, "Does anyone know what 'your internal organ is butting' means?"
"Repeat it." An Jingzhe's voice sounded from the earpiece.
"You ~ internal ~ problems ~" Qu Sen tried to imitate the voice he just heard and repeated it again.
"Rest!"
"Rest ~"
"Rest, keep quiet." A few soldiers who were good at Vietnamese replied one after another.
"Have they stopped?" An Jingzhe immediately asked.
"Nightingale's paddle was damaged. It is now hiding behind a tree and can't continue monitoring, but it seems that they have stopped." Qu Sen reported truthfully.
"How far away is it from us?" An Jingzhe asked again.
"Less than two kilometers, about one point eight or one point nine." Qu Sen while replying, marked the position of "Nightingale" on the tactical map.
"Do you need me to continue to use the 'Qin Crossbow'?" Qu Sen asked after he completed the marking.
"Yes, keep a safe distance and don't alert the other party.."
"Roger!" After Qu Sen responded, he picked up his drone controller and prepared to restart the Qin Crossbow. However, as soon as he saw the monitor screen, he was dumbfounded.
"What is it?" Qu Sen asked in a low voice.
The images of the two cameras in the control platform's interface were all slanted, and the target surveillance lens below was an empty mountain scene.
In the other surveillance lens, it was full of blurry brown patterns, and the patterns seemed to be squirming a little to the left.
"… Snake scales, it's a python!" 035 identified what was wriggling in the image.
"What the f * ck!" Qu Sen heard 035's words and carefully observed it. He couldn't help but swear.
He looked for a while and found that the image displayed in the flickering screen was not a pattern at all, but a fine scale magnified by the lens.
The "Qin Crossbow" was now tilted so much that Qu Sen didn't dare to rashly activate the motive. He could only adjust the two surveillance lenses to observe the specific situation around him. The target surveillance lens below couldn't see anything because of the angle of activity.
Qu Sen had just controlled the surveillance lens to move a little, and the slowly crawling python keenly felt the vibration and immediately stopped moving in shock.
"Damn it!" Qu Sen saw that the scales on the screen no longer moved to the left, and he didn't dare to move the surveillance lens anymore. After waiting for about two minutes, seeing that the python didn't seem to want to continue crawling forward, he had no choice but to press the intercom button.
"001, the" Qin Crossbow "is temporarily unable to perform the monitoring task."
"What's the situation?"
"It's entangled by the python …"
"…" An Jingzhe didn't know what to say for a moment. After more than ten seconds, he asked in confusion, "How did it get entangled by the python?"
Qu Sen felt his face burning. His cheeks twitched and he whispered, "I also want to know …"
"Pfft ~"
At another hiding spot not far from Qu Sen and 035's hiding spot, someone's suppressed laughter rang out.
"Only two?" Although An Jingzhe was very familiar with the equipment carried by the team, he still didn't give up and confirmed it.
"Only two." Qu Sen replied helplessly.
"021, 022, scout ahead, pay attention to hiding. The drone team will join the combat team. "An Jingzhe paused for a moment and issued a new order.
"Roger!" As the two soldiers took the order and set off, Qu Sen and 035 put their respective drone controllers aside and took off their Type 81 rifles from their backs.
About half an hour later, 021's voice sounded in the communication channel, "001, the workhorse team has just finished resting and is moving again."
021 and 022 were very smart. They didn't go in the direction of the workhorse path to scout ahead. Instead, they moved along the ridge line on the left side. When they were close to the workhorse team, they turned and climbed up a relatively high hill.
They climbed to the top of the hill and observed the workhorse team's movements through binoculars.
Although the visual obstruction from the observation point to the target position was very serious, it wasn't a problem to observe the other party's general movements.
"All combat teams, take a ten-minute break and use the time to confirm the ambush position." An Jingzhe calculated the time it would take for the workhorse team to enter the ambush area and issued a new order.
Hiding and waiting for orders was a very difficult task. If they didn't move for a long time, not only would their limbs become numb, but they would also have to endure the harassment of mosquitoes. Plus, it was the first time the soldiers were in a real battle, so their fatigue would multiply under the tension.
In order to ensure the smooth follow-up operation, An Jingzhe allowed everyone to take a short break during the safe time.
And because the soldiers knew that the armed workhorse team was approaching, they were very nervous even when they took a break.
When they took the time to move and stretch their stiff bodies, the combat teams that felt that their hiding position was not secure also took the time to find a better ambush point.
"Finished resting, all teams check each other's concealment." Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and An Jingzhe's voice sounded in the headset again.
"022, your gun barrel is exposed."
"031, helmet!"
"019, you're too arrogant."
"…"
Although they had done countless ambush training before, when they were about to face a real battle, it was inevitable that the soldiers would make mistakes due to nervousness.
Fortunately, after observing each other and reminding each other, the problems were corrected one by one. When the workhorse team was less than one kilometer away from the ambush point, all the combat teams entered a state of silence.
About twenty minutes later, the second team's leader's voice sounded, "001, the target is approaching."
"Second team, be careful and hide, let them come over. All teams stay calm! "
As An Jingzhe's voice sounded, the thirty soldiers all stayed motionless in their respective ambush points. They didn't dare to show their heads, and could only listen carefully to the workhorse team's movements.
Time suddenly became very slow, and a few minutes seemed to have passed infinitely long.
When Qu Sen looked through the gaps between the bushes and saw the choppers continuously swinging in the valley below, the second team's leader's voice sounded in the headset, "001, the workhorse team has all passed, a total of seven workhorse teams, thirteen armed personnel."
An Jingzhe was in a dilemma as more than half of the workhorses and the armed personnel entered his sight.
It was also his first time in a real battle, and he was in the position of a commander. His mind recalled the order he received before he left, and he didn't know what to do.
The order was: Try to capture them alive, and kill them all if they tried to escape or resist.
An Jingzhe was in a dilemma as to whether he should issue a warning first, wait for the other party to refuse to surrender, and then order the attack. Or launch the attack directly, wait for the other party to be afraid and surrender voluntarily.
Subconsciously, An Jingzhe was more inclined to the second method, which was to attack and kill more than half of the enemy. Even if the rest didn't surrender voluntarily, it would be enough to capture a few injured ones alive and report back.
As for the first method, once he shouted, it would only give the other party time to react. It would give the people below time to organize a counterattack or break out of the encirclement to escape.
An Jingzhe wasn't afraid of fighting a war, but after all, it was a real gun, and he was afraid that his improper orders would cause unnecessary casualties to the soldiers.
While he was in a dilemma, the workhorse team had completely entered An Jingzhe's line of sight. He really wanted to give the order to attack directly, but it didn't conform to his years of education.
He gritted his teeth, raised the muzzle, and after shooting, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shameless! Black Blade Wu ~ (Stop, put down your weapons!) "
After he finished shouting, he fired a long shot into the air.
The pack horse team panicked the moment the gunshot rang out. The middle-aged man, who was holding a machete to clear the way, quickly rushed into the bushes at the side. Ignoring An Jingzhe's shouts, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Take it! Take it out ~ (Hide, enemy attack!) "
When An Jingzhe sounded the warning for the second time, more than a dozen armed men had already abandoned the workhorses and scattered to hide on both sides of the path.
"Half a continent …" Before An Jingzhe could finish shouting, at least five semi-automatic rifles opened fire at the place where he was hiding almost at the same time. The densely packed bullet points instantly caused the vegetation within the range to splatter in all directions.
"Da da da ~ Da da da ~" An Jingzhe rolled to avoid the gunfire. Just as he was about to give the order to attack, he heard the unique sound of a Type 81 rifle.
"Ah ~" After two short shots, there was a burst of hoarse howls in the valley below.
A thin, dark-skinned armed man was shooting at An Jingzhe, but the gunfire exposed his hiding place, and then his shoulder and waist were shot by a Type 81 rifle. The blood-curdling screams frightened another armed man not far from him, and he got up and ran in horror.
He had just run two steps when three short shots from a Type 81 rifle rang out. After two bloody holes appeared on his back, he only let out a short cry, then fell to the ground, his limbs twitching, and there was no more movement.
The seven workhorses felt the threat when the first gunshot was heard, and they were circling around uneasily. They were completely shocked when they saw a man fall on the newly opened path.
