A work permit fell beside Xia Chunyan. Qu Sen had thrown it to her.
Xia Chunyan picked it up and looked at it suspiciously. Then, her expression changed. She was very familiar with the name and registration information on the work permit, but the photo …
Qu Sen did not wait for her to ask. He pulled out a photo from the side pocket of his backpack and threw it to her.
The first thing Xia Chunyan saw was her name on the back of the photo. Needless to say, the handwriting was very familiar. She picked it up and saw that it was a photo of her and her husband. Tears began to flow freely.
Qu Sen did not say a word, but Xia Chunyan could easily guess what was going on. Her husband must have asked these two people in front of her to look for her before they set off from Dachili.
"Is Old Yu … okay?" Xia Chunyan had just asked this when gunshots rang out from the mountainside.
Qu Sen's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to press the call button, Young Deer's voice rang out in his earpiece. "Captain, we encountered a small group of bandits."
"Eliminate them on the spot!" Qu Sen replied. Then, he and Mao Shuai got up at the same time and ran in the direction of the gunshots.
A small group of bandits was not a problem. The problem was that, based on Qu Sen's previous experience, once the AKM gunshots rang out, the scattered bandits would quickly swarm over.
Therefore, they had to eliminate them in the shortest amount of time possible. Then, they had to seize the time to move. Once they were bitten, it would be difficult to get rid of them.
When Uto's M249 began to fire, Qu Sen and Mao Shuai finally arrived at the crossfire. The small group of bandits still consisted of a dozen people. More than half of them were dead or injured. The remaining few were pinned to the ground by the bullets and did not dare to raise their heads.
Qu Sen and Mao Shuai suddenly appeared from the side. Two M16s swept across and the battle ended in the blink of an eye.
"Hurry up and move!" Qu Sen quickly called out after confirming that the small group of bandits had all been killed.
But just as he gave the order, the tea farmers, who had been extremely uneasy, all rushed out of their hiding places and began to pick up the weapons on the ground. Then, they turned over the bodies of the dead people and searched for valuables.
The bandits scattered around could rush over at any time. Qu Sen was so angry at the tea farmer in front of him that his lungs were about to explode. He almost raised the muzzle of his gun and shot him. He shouted at Mao Shuai, "Tell them to stop. Hurry up and move! "
While Mao Shuai shouted at the tea farmers who were busy looting the dead people on the ground, Group Leader Meng, who was running and panting, shouted, "Let them pick up the guns, they will..."
"Shut up!" Qu Sen shouted at Group Leader Meng. Seeing that the tea farmer was still disobedient and was still rummaging through the corpses, he kicked him in the back and sent him tumbling.
The tea farmer, who had just been kicked, was holding the AKM he had just picked up. As soon as he turned his head with a ferocious look, Qu Sen pointed the gun at his forehead.
Even a fool could see that if he dared to resist, Qu Sen would pull the trigger in the next second. The ferocious look on the tea farmer's face instantly disappeared. He flinched and threw away the gun in his hand.
The other guys who were still unwilling to give up their valuables did not dare to search for valuables anymore. They trotted to catch up with the team in front of them that was drilling into the forest.
"Captain, there are bandit teams on the south and west side. The west side is less than 300 meters away from you!" Xiao Zhuangzhuang, who was at the sniping point halfway up the mountain, reported immediately after discovering the enemy.
"Wu Tu, Liu Zi, and I will stay and stall the enemy. The rest of you immediately retreat to the bridge!" Qu Sen decisively ordered.
"I will stay too!" Mao Shuai immediately requested.
"No, you are in charge of the retreat team! Remember, this is wartime! For the sake of more lives, once there is any noise, decisively implement battlefield discipline! "
"Yes!" Mao Shuai responded loudly. He shouted at Group Leader Meng, who was still in a daze, "Didn't you hear the retreat order? Are you waiting for death?"
The three of them came back to their senses after Mao Shuai's murderous roar. They subconsciously followed Mao Shuai and ran in the direction of the other rescued people.
Before Mao Shuai and the others could disappear, the enemies on the west side had already appeared. The leading bandit had just shouted when Xiao Zhuangzhuang shot him in the chest from more than 700 meters away.
While the bandits were prone, Qu Sen reloaded his magazine and shouted at Wu Tu and Liu Zi, "Set up the position, we have to hold on for a while."
In less than ten seconds, a team of bandits from the south arrived. After their numbers increased, the two teams of bandits quickly rushed toward the "mercenaries" not far away. Just as they rushed into the range of 50 meters, they were shot down by the firepower of two M16s and an M249.
Soon, another team of bandits came from further away to join the battle. Under the temptation of the weapons and equipment on the "mercenaries" and the US dollars, the group of bandits once again launched an attack on the three-man formation.
In the end, they were forcefully pushed back by a wave of grenades.
The retreating team had already met up with Xiao Zhuangzhuang halfway up the mountain. After Qu Sen used grenades to suppress the enemy's attack, he immediately began to retreat to the east side while fighting.
The sound of gunshots and explosions indicated the direction of the bandits who had arrived one after another. They chased like cats that had smelled blood.
Mao Shuai, who was observing from a hidden spot halfway up the mountain, waited for a while. When no new bandits appeared, he called for the people behind him and led the team through the tea field and retreated along the way to the bridge.
"Captain, we will immediately come back to support you after we hand them over to Sun Yang!" Mao Shuai shouted when the communication device reached the limit of communication range.
"Rescue my ass! Where are you going to rescue them in such a big place? Don't forget to dismantle the repeater on the mountain at the other end of the bridge!" Qu Sen replied impatiently amidst the noise, gunshots, and explosions of grenades.
Releasing the button on the communication device, Qu Sen threw two grenades behind him and shouted at Liu Zi and Wu Tu, "Luckily, we have the grenades on us. Otherwise, we would have been chased to death by the monkeys behind us!"
"They are all f * cking fragmentation grenades. If only there were a few incendiary grenades." Liu Zi shot at the "monkeys" that were trying to outflank them from the side. After throwing another grenade, he shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran.
"Incendiary grenades? It's good enough that we have them!" After charging forward for a while, Wutu found a suitable position to set up his M249. Then, he started firing at the pursuers behind him.
Qu Sen and Liu Zi also stopped and suppressed the enemies that were trying to outflank them from the side.
Then, the three of them threw a few grenades at the same time. After suppressing the pursuers for a short while, they turned around and ran again.
"Wu Tu, where are the mines you got?" Qu Sen suddenly remembered the "treasures" that Wu Tu had collected.
"They are all hidden at the back of Tea Mountain," Wu Tu shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran at the front.
"Let's go, we will go up the mountain in a circle and let the mines block us for a while so that we can escape!" Qu Sen shouted and began to lead the team away from the direction of their previous retreat and back toward Tea Mountain.
The reason why the three of them were able to maintain a safe distance from the enemy was because of the delay from the fragmentation grenades. However, no matter how many grenades there were, there were only a few left after they had crossed half the mountain.
Qu Sen and the other two could only give up on their original strategy and switch to cover in echelon. The consequence of the reduced suppressive fire was that it was harder to shake off the pursuers behind them.
When they retreated to the foot of Tea Mountain again, the three of them were all injured, especially Wu Tu. He had been shot in the thigh and his movements had become slower and slower.
"Captain, you guys retreat up the mountain, I will cover you!" After Wu Tu reloaded his last ammo belt, he crouched behind a tree and shouted with his hoarse voice.
"Stop f * cking bullsh * t, you must have watched too many movies!" Qu Sen threw out the last two grenades he had and kicked Wu Tu to the side. He raised his M249 and shouted to Liu Zi, "Liu Zi, help him retreat. We will charge up the mountain in one go!"
"Yes!" Liu Zi's eyes were red. He used his uninjured left arm to pull Wu Tu up from the ground and ran up the mountain with him.
The sound of the M249 shooting rang out behind the two of them.
After two hundred rounds of ammo belt were used up in one go, the fan-shaped area in front of Qu Sen was cleared of people and vegetation.
Qu Sen grimaced as he rubbed the numb side of his arm. He threw down his gun and turned around to run. As the sound of AKM gunfire rang out behind him, the trees on the hillside and the extraordinary physical strength he had accumulated over a long period of training became Qu Sen's last straw of hope.
As he ran like a cat in an S shape, the bullets followed him like a shadow.
If it had been any other time, Qu Sen would never have been able to outrun the group of "monkeys" who had grown up in the forest. However, at this critical moment, his body's potential was completely unleashed.
Although he was sprinting up the hill in an S shape, after two hundred meters, he was able to shake off the pursuers behind him.
His calf was cramping, and he felt that the dense forest behind him should have blocked the pursuers' line of sight. As soon as Qu Sen relaxed, he felt a tearing pain in his shoulder.
"F * ck you!" Qu Sen cursed as he clutched his shoulder. He had no choice but to speed up again and run up the hill with all his might.
When he realized that he could vaguely see the backs of Liu Zi and Wu Tu in front of him, Qu Sen pressed the call button as he ran. "You two bastards, run faster. If I catch up to you, I'll kick you to death!"
In the end, Qu Sen caught up to Wu Tu and Liu Zi. However, Qu Sen did not kick them because the three of them had already reached the tool room. After going over the hill, they would reach the temporary hiding spot from before.
Qu Sen and Liu Zi each drove Wu Tu over the hill. When they turned around and temporarily blocked the shooting angle behind them, Qu Sen was shot in the butt.
Liu Zi, who was already injured on the right shoulder, took another hit right next to the bullet hole. His shoulder blade was probably going to be broken.
"Squid, where the f * ck did you put the mines?" Qu Sen gritted his teeth and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Go straight through, don't turn!" Wu Tu gritted his teeth and yelled.
The price of going straight without turning was that Liu Zi lost half of his ear, and Wu Tu was shot in the back. Qu Sen was a little luckier. A bullet pierced his clothes and opened up a bloody groove on his waist.
The sound of the mines exploding behind them quickly entered their ears. The bandits who had been relentlessly chasing them finally slowed down.
These bandits were not afraid of death, but they were really afraid of mines, especially the low-powered booby traps and anti-infantry mines.
To the bandits in the mountains, they were not afraid of death. Being crippled was the scariest thing to them.
