"Thirty percent of the goods worth millions of dollars will be the reward for our group." The news quickly spread among the "wild monkeys" who were constantly arriving.
Most of them were very satisfied with the reward. Those who were dissatisfied felt that they had too many companions. However, this was not a problem. As long as the Chinese soldiers worked hard, there would naturally be fewer people who would get a share of the money.
The cargo owner stood on the side and looked at the bronze soldiers who were loudly organizing the troops. The main battlefield passage was only forty meters wide. If a thousand people rushed in together, the dense formation would be a live target.
Therefore, the messy troops were gradually divided into five groups.
The cargo owner looked at the troops that he had built with real money and felt more and more angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He and the other "generals" knew very well in their hearts that it was simply a pipe dream to expect this group of uneducated and uneducated desperadoes to become a qualified mercenary team.
However, this group of people also had their advantages. They were all worthless. As long as they were paid, there was nothing they would not do.
The cargo owner estimated in his heart how many of his thousand people would die after this battle. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes. He seemed to vaguely see a beam of red light shooting down from the sky and landing in the place where the troops were the most concentrated.
"Sniper!" This was the first thought in the cargo owner's mind after he confirmed that what he saw was indeed a laser beam. However, he rejected the idea in the next second.
It was impossible for a sniper to aim at the ground from the sky. Even with the help of a helicopter, the roar of the engine and blades could not be completely covered.
Thinking about the working noise of the helicopter, the cargo owner seemed to really hear the sound of the propeller working at high speed. However, although the sound was not far away, it was not very loud.
Just as he looked up at the sky and searched for the source of the sound, a rapidly falling shadow entered his sight.
Before he had time to see clearly what the shadow was, the shadow turned into a ball of white light, followed by an explosion and countless screams...
The "high-explosive drone" was detonated about three meters above the densest area. The splashing steel balls instantly hit twenty to thirty people. No one died on the spot. Only the wounded were left rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
After a brief moment of shock, the thousand or so Ming Dynasty militants, who had been divided into five teams and were preparing to head towards the battle zone, instantly scattered in all directions. No matter how much the Bronze Army roared, it was to no avail.
Among the people who had entered the forest, someone stepped on a landmine in a panic, and a few of them were knocked down by the flying shrapnel. The new wails made them realize that they were in a minefield.
"Retreat into the woods!"
After all, the owner of the goods was an old soldier who had participated in the war. Time had not worn away his fighting instincts. After the high-explosive drone exploded, the first thing he did was to hide under a large tree with a lush canopy. Then, he reminded Tong Jun loudly.
Previously, he had been thinking about the mortar positions. The reason why the ammunition suddenly self-destructed was suspicious. When he saw the black shadow that flashed by, the problem was solved — it turned out to be a "suicide remote-controlled aircraft"!
"Split into groups and gather in the forest. Don't be too close to each other!" Tong Jun yelled at the top of his voice as he ran into the forest.
In this mountain, the sound of landmines exploding, flying shrapnel, and steel balls were much more common than the sound of gunfire. The wails of wounded people were even more common.
When the scattered militants recovered from the sudden attack from the air, they quickly followed Tong Jun's instructions and chose the best way to save their lives.
Qu Sen, who was looking at the surveillance screen, was a little disappointed. He originally thought that these guys would be in chaos for a while longer. He did not expect them to be reorganized in such a short period of time.
"Yu Kai, bury the 'Broad Blade' as far away from the front as possible. Be careful!"
"Yes!"
"Le Tian, go and call Utu. Tell him to stop. Hurry up and set up all the landmines. "
"Yes!"
Qu Sen saw that An Jingzhe only gave one "Broad Blade" to Yu Kai, so he gestured to the other one. "If I had known earlier, I would have brought the 'Swift' and detonated this thing in the air. It would definitely be lethal."
The final product of the "Swift" was definitely a "big guy" among the small drones. It was a vehicle-mounted reconnaissance drone. It was too heavy for a single soldier to carry, but it could fly while carrying weight. For example, a "Broad Blade" that was less than two kilograms could easily be carried over two hundred meters in the air.
"Okay, next time, you carry it." An Jingzhe was joking as he connected the "Broad Blade" to a three meter long wire.
This "Broad Blade" would be the last line of defense for the wooden house and was placed at the front of the outer wall. However, it was easy to be hit by stray bullets if placed in advance, so it was temporarily placed inside the house.
"Captain, they brought at least five RPG7s." Shen Jin's voice was very nervous when he spoke. When the wooden house was hit, he was really scared.
"Can we get rid of it?" An Jingzhe asked nervously when he looked at the surveillance screen.
"They should be guarding against us using drones to attack from the air. They're all hiding in the forest and can't find a suitable angle to attack," Shen Jin said as he controlled the "Qin Crossbow" to circle around a few scattered targets in the air.
"Don't just stare at those few. Pay attention to the mortars!" An Jingzhe reminded.
"I haven't found anything yet." Shen Jin shook his head and began to expand the search circle. He was worried that the enemy would bring in mortars and he wouldn't discover it in the first place.
An Jingzhe looked at the battery indicator on the control panel: "Hurry up and change the battery."
"Yes!" Shen Jin noticed that the "Qin Crossbow" only had 20% battery left. The control panel only had 17% battery left.
When Geng Letian, Wu Tu, and a few soldiers started to lay down the mines, the one hundred people hiding behind human shields didn't notice them at all. It was also possible that they noticed but didn't want to deal with them.
No matter how many mines were buried in front of them, it had nothing to do with them. After all, no matter the outcome of this battle, their mission had been completed. As long as they lay in place until the battle was over, they could receive their gold.
When the soldiers on the front battlefield finished laying down the mines, Tong Jun and his men appeared less than 700 meters away from the battlefield.
An Jingzhe looked at Nightingale's surveillance screen and gave the order: "Snipers, pay attention to the back. Once you see a rocket launcher, kill it immediately!"
"Yes!" Team 2 and Team 3's sniper teams responded at the same time.
"The rest of you, stay calm and aim before you shoot. We have mines, rifle grenades, and attack drones nearby. They can't get close!
Team 1, don't be distracted by the movements on the front battlefield. Focus on your work … "

Yue Jianjun subconsciously clenched his fists and straightened his back. His eyes were fixed on the screen of the digital TV wall. Behind him, the members of the composite combat division's standing committee also had solemn expressions.
The screen showed the high-definition night vision image sent by the reconnaissance satellite. Hundreds of human-shaped heat sources had already stepped into the open area in front of the wooden house.
Their speed was not fast. Although they had tried their best to disperse the formation, they still appeared to be very dense in a width of about 30 meters.
About 200 human-shaped heat sources joined another group of heat sources about 100 meters away from the wooden house in a crawling state. Behind them, another group of human-shaped heat sources began to step into the open area.

Hundreds of kilometers away from the composite combat division headquarters, in a small conference room in the military compound of the Southwest Military Region, the same image as Yue Jianjun's was projected on the screen on the wall.
"How long until the reinforcements reach the designated position?" the chief of the military region asked in a low voice without looking away from the screen.
"Based on the current speed, it will take another hour and 15 to 20 minutes." The chief of staff of the military region continued in a heavy voice, "The engineers who opened the way have a hard time moving through the minefields at night.
So far, five groups of soldiers have been hit by mines. Two were killed and seven were injured. "
"How about the rocket launcher platoon?"
"They weren't affected. The three cannon groups and 108 rounds of ammunition are still intact."

Less than 20 kilometers away from the military compound of the Southwest Military Region, the leaders of the Provincial Department, the Provincial Armed Police Corps, and several military directors of the Border Armed Police Detachment gathered in the multimedia command center of the Public Security Department of Caiyun Province. They also looked at the LCD screen with solemn expressions.
The battle that took place in the border area did not only belong to the Southwest Military Region, but also to them.
Seeing that more than 1,000 militants were preparing to launch an attack, the command center was silent. No matter what rank or rank they had, they all subconsciously held their breath and waited for the battle to develop further.

"Damn it, they want to crawl over!" Geng Letian lay at the shooting point and looked at the situation outside. He could not help but curse.
Originally, everyone thought that the enemy would launch an echelon attack. They did not expect that they would quietly pass through the "human shelter" and slowly crawl in the direction of the wooden house.
In the dark night, they were separated by a distance of about a hundred meters. If it were not for the surveillance of "Nightingale" in the air, they would not have been able to detect it in the first place.
100 meters away, when the last enemy of the first group crawled through the "human shelter", the nearest enemy had already crawled to less than 60 meters away from the wooden house. As for the second echelon, they had already reached the bunker and were densely packed together.
"Everyone, get ready … to fight!" Seeing that the nearest enemy was already within 50 meters, An Jingzhe finally gave the order to fire.
The sound of the Type 81 single-shot rifle rang out immediately after the shooting order was given. The fan-shaped defensive position provided a good cross-fire area.
The moment they opened fire, no less than 20 enemies that were within 50 meters were knocked down. The crawling enemies were delayed for a short while before the AKM's gunfire lit up instantly.
Both sides fought black against black, relying on the flash of gunfire to lock on to the target. The mutually fired bullets whistled and flashed as they shuttled back and forth in the battle area.
Perhaps they felt that the firepower of the Chinese was not strong enough, some of the bolder enemies had already climbed up from the ground, crouched down, and began to charge forward. After a few of them were knocked down, more enemies behind them stood up and followed.
"Xiaolu, flare!" An Jingzhe shouted at the top of her lungs after firing two short shots.
