The sound of the heavy autocannon bullets striking the rocks was not the crisp sound of raindrops. Instead, it was more like the muffled sound of water droplets falling into a pile of hot ash. Following these sounds, the heat was rapidly absorbed, and then the water vaporized. Life drained away, just like the rocks that were constantly falling from the cave entrance.
The heavy firepower on the mountainside was less than six hundred meters away from the cave entrance. The dense rain of shrapnel terrifyingly sealed off the people's path forward. Amidst the smoke and the muffled sounds of death, the members in the cave were unable to effectively observe the enemy.
Being directly turned into a land of death by the enemy and dying such a miserable and humiliating death was not a mistake the battle-hardened Group 7 would make. Unit NTR, which took on the most dangerous mission of the Federation's elite divisions, would also not make such a mistake. Since they had chosen the cave as their base, they had naturally made the relevant preparations.
Xiong Linquan and the other members hid behind the rocks, put on their bulletproof helmets, and waited silently and patiently amidst the rain of smoke and shrapnel. After a few seconds, a voice rang out from the battlefield infantry command system. "612 meters, 22.56 meters. Sink 21.3 degrees. Heavy firepower. Reorganize camp. Close in. Inorganic armor."
A moment later, that voice rang out again. "People of the Empire."
At this moment, Monkey was on a broad-leaved tree outside the cave. As a sentry, he was in charge of monitoring the movements of this mountain forest, helping his comrades in the cave predict danger in advance. In the end, he did not discover that the enemy had silently crept over through the thick fog. This made his mood somewhat terrible, and his voice was somewhat trembling. Fortunately, he was still calm and clear. With a few simple keywords, he very well summed up the current situation.
As for the last person from the Empire, he said it in an especially awkward manner. In the many years of battle before, he had never made such a report, because the enemy was definitely from the Empire. However, this enemy that was fighting alone right now was very likely to be from the Federation.
After clearly hearing the location of the fatal heavy firepower at the mountainside, the mountain cannon quickly pulled over his military backpack and picked up the infantry narrow-barreled cannon as fast as he could. Without even aiming, he directly fired at the collapsed rocks and dust at the entrance of the cave.
Under the suppression of the Empire's heavy cannons, he had no way of peeking out of the hole to launch an accurate bombardment. The precise location given by the monkey was meaningless under such circumstances.
Thin and long lotus-style rapid-explosive bullets shot out of the single soldier cannon on his shoulder at high speed, dragging a blazing white tail that was about half a meter long. They instantly penetrated the cave and shot toward the forest. They seemed to have no target, but they could tilt upward at any moment and soar into the sky, disappearing in vain.
However, almost at the same time the mountain cannon completed this aimless bombardment, Monkey, who was hiding in the broad-leaved trees, quickly pressed a button on the side of the soldier's helmet. Through the matrix optical aiming system on the transparent light screen, he stared fixedly at the empire's heavy machine cannon that was continuously wreaking havoc 600 meters away.
The slender and long Lotus Bomb received the data signal from the forest, and its tail emitted a faint beep. The wings that were about the size of a palm trembled at a high speed and instantly locked onto the target. Dragging a terrifying flame tail, it directly blasted toward a certain spot on the mountainside.
With a muffled boom, a violent explosion occurred on the mountainside. The heavy machine cannon immediately misfired, and more than ten Empire soldiers scattered on the ground, unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Xiong Linquan was the first to jump up. He rushed out of the cave entrance and hid behind a hard rock. He picked up the heavy rapid-fire rifle and pulled the trigger at those figures in the forest.
The rest of the team members also quickly pounced out, each of them spreading out to choose their shooting positions and began to counterattack. Xu Le and Paul carried Dongfang Yu on a stretcher and quickly followed behind, while that Empire captive followed behind in a sorry state.
Everyone's timing was very precise, and their coordination was also very practiced. Whether it was Pearl and the other members of Group 7, or the NTR soldiers, in this seemingly simple process of coming out of the cave to counterattack, they all displayed extremely outstanding military qualities.
The Empire troops at the foot of the mountain had already closed in enough distance and began to suppress with even more ferocious firepower. Dozens of gun barrels spewed out bullet fire, and the flying rain of bullets cut the forest leaves into countless desolate fragments.
Monkey slipped down the broad-leaved tree like a nimble shadow. Just as his feet touched the ground, the broad-leaved tree behind him was directly cut in two by a burst of violent fire. He couldn't care less about the lingering fear and loudly warned the team members scattered around the forest, "There are armored vehicles entering the valley. Be careful of their heavy artillery."
Xiong Linquan raised his gun and shot down the nearest Empire soldiers at the foot of the cliff. He ordered through the communication system, "Open the triangular fan to the southwest! Be careful to keep your distance! "
The team members fought and retreated according to the deployment, but they were still unable to get rid of the Empire troops at the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, there would be muffled groans, and the situation was extremely passive.
Xiong Linquan quickly calculated the enemy's military deployment, but he kept feeling that something was wrong. The firepower at the foot of the mountain was too fierce. His brows were tightly knitted, and he warned everyone through the system, "The enemy is not a normal battalion. They have the qualifications to call for air support. Monkey, pay attention to the movements in the air. If you miss one more goddamn thing, I'll kill you!"
Traversing through the southwest theater of war where fierce battles were taking place, the lone army had long been mentally prepared. Although the weird thick fog and the high-intensity electronic shield could help them cover their tracks, it also meant that they could encounter the enemy at any time, anywhere, without any mental preparation.
However, they didn't think that their luck would be so bad. The first battle they fought on the road of escape was already facing such powerful Empire troops.
…
…
The appearance of the Empire troops at the northern shore of Liangshan wasn't actually a surprise. Right now, the troops attacking the lone army were the vanguard battalion of a certain Empire elite brigade.
This elite brigade was ordered by His Highness to reinforce the southwest war zone with the intention of forcefully attacking the Federation's Second Military Region's 11th Armored Division. However, for nearly a month, they could only watch the 11th Armored Division's shadow from afar, unable to approach. They could only watch as the 11th Armored Division moved unhindered above the Empire's broken defensive line, unable to rush over to provide support. There were even two occasions when they were almost ambushed and defeated by the enemy!
The Federation's 11th Division was Du Shaoqing's direct line of troops. They inherited the fighting style of that famous Federation general, cold, precise, and unconventional. Like a storm, they fought and lured, directly dragging this Empire's entire brigade to the point where it was about to be crippled.
Right now, this Empire's entire brigade was on the brink of insanity and collapse. Today, their vanguard battalion had finally found the traces left behind by the 11th Division with great difficulty. They resolutely killed their way into the mountain, disregarding the fact that their forces were small and weak, and wanted to fight to the death with the enemy. Who would have thought that the enemy would once again furiously slip away!
Under these circumstances, they discovered the Federation's NTR squad in the mountain cave. One could imagine how many bullets the vanguard battalion would use to vent the anger in their hearts.
…
…
Under a hidden mountain rock somewhere in the Southwest Liangshan Mountains, Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the lead-gray clouds, as well as the rare blue sky in the distance, silently calculating when the Empire's air support would arrive.
The modified rifle in his hand did not make a single sound during the battle. He only covered Dongfang Yu on the stretcher, as well as Paul and another Empire soldier who were carrying the stretcher. He chose the most reasonable path and quickly retreated with the team, so he did not attract the attention of the Empire's troops. Instead, it was relatively safe.
Rapid gunshots rang out from time to time in the dense mountain forest. The leaves covered with countless layers of fine dust trembled with the whistling of bullets. The screams of injuries and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground were particularly clear and ear-piercing.
Paul, who was half-squatting on one end of the stretcher, stared at the battle scene in the forest. He listened to the cries of his comrades before they died and listened to the familiar hometown language. A fierce struggle appeared on Aokiji's face. His eyes grew redder and redder, and he could not help but glance at Xu Le. He thought that there was only one Federation officer on the stretcher here, and he was seriously injured. As long as he subdued him, everything would be solved.
During the battle, Xu Le did not look at him. However, at this time, he seemed to feel Paul's burning gaze and directly shook his head.
Paul was startled and struggled for a long time. In the end, he gave up his idea. He gritted his teeth in disappointment and squatted back.
The other Empire captive in charge of carrying the stretcher was already middle-aged, and his gray-brown hair was a little dirty. He felt the arrival of an opportunity like Paul and could not help but nervously lick his lips. Then, he quietly reached out to the stretcher.
After taking care of the heavily injured federal officer for two months, the imperial captive had long discovered that the federal officer hid a pistol in the gap between the stretcher. He believed that as long as he could get his hands on that pistol, he would definitely be able to control the situation.
Then, he wanted to order the strange small-eyed man to surrender so that everyone could return to the Empire army and even make a great military contribution. Then, in the future, his descendants would no longer have to serve those damn aristocrats.
Just when his hand was more than ten centimeters away from the stretcher, Xu Le, who had been holding a rock to observe the situation on the battlefield, suddenly turned around, raised the rifle in his hand, and pointed it at the center of his eyebrows silently.
The Empire captive looked at the black barrel in despair. He grimaced as if he was crying and laughing. He slowly retracted his hand, sat back on the ground, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Dongfang Yu, who had been looking drowsy on the stretcher, suddenly opened his eyes at this time. His right hand slowly reached out with the anti-water cloth and held the pistol.
He quietly looked at the rifle in Xu Le's hand, the emotions in his eyes somewhat complicated. Suddenly, he asked in a hoarse and weak voice, "Why don't you just tell the Empire army that you are a member of the Empire's royal family? Who the f * ck dares to shoot at you? "
Xu Le laughed at himself and said, "No one will believe me. Even if I have identity verification, who cares about this when I am in a frenzy? It is very difficult for me to make the Empire believe that I am from the Empire on the battlefield, just like I can't make the Federation believe that I am from the Federation."
"That's why you don't fire a shot in the battle." Dongfang Yu looked at his face and said in a hoarse voice, "And then you will stop your fellow countryman from stealing my gun."
