Chapter Forty-Four

  Zhang Qipeng listened for a moment and said, "There are probably less than 100 people left, it can only be specific to here, the direction should be along the direction we just entered, that is, continue northeast."

  "Captain, shouldn't we go back and get more troops before coming back to deal with them?" Wang Can's voice was trembling slightly as he spoke, clearly intimidated by the scene before him.

  "If we go back now, they will definitely transfer us, and that would be even more dangerous. Their methods of dealing with hostages are quite cruel." Yuan Shuai's lips had turned pale due to excessive blood loss.

  "But if you don't go back, you'll be in danger, you've lost too much blood." Wang Can said.

  "Yes, Captain, if you keep going like this, you won't be able to hold on." Wang Yuanjian also advised.

  "No way, even if it means trading our six lives for their three, we have to get them out. We are soldiers, from the day we put on our uniforms, our lives no longer fully belong to us." Yuan Shuai looked at their puzzled eyes and continued.

  "It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, because we wear this uniform and bear this emblem. Our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are all provided by the people. When the people are in danger, we must stand up for them. The people only think of us soldiers when they're in danger, so we must let them know that as long as we're here, we'll never abandon them."

  Everyone's eyes were a little moist after hearing General Yuan's words.

  Normally, anyone who says this would definitely think he's showing off, but from the mouth of someone who has lost blood and turned pale, it's so touching.

  "Captain, you tell us what to do." Wang Can felt less afraid after hearing Yuan Shuai's words.

  "A full-on attack is definitely not going to work, they'll definitely have a large force waiting for us at the entrance." Commander Yuan panted heavily as he continued. "We'll make a fake attack at the entrance, Li Nan, you're the most skilled, sneak around to the back and climb up from the corner of the wall to the rooftop and see if there's an opportunity to rescue them."

  "Good." He said, and slowly walked backwards with a duck gait.

  Duck walk - a compulsory subject for many Chinese special forces, a way of walking like a duck's gait, also a compulsory subject for "Lightning Sword". Although it is very tiring, when acting alone, it can hide and make no sound. When encountering the enemy, action can be taken immediately.

  Because wearing a bulletproof vest affected his movement, Li Nan took off the bulletproof vest and slowly crawled along the wall corner. The four-story high earthwork was naturally not a problem for Li Nan, and in just a few minutes he reached the top floor.

  Yuan Shuai and the others slowly approached the hole that had just been blasted out. Because they had already attacked once before, Wang Can and the others were now very familiar with the formation of the attacking team.

  This time, because Li Nan was not there, Wang Yuanjian walked in front of the team. After all, they were a bit more experienced, and Wang Can and the others were still in the middle of the formation, but this time it wasn't as tense.

  A turn appeared ahead, Wang Yuan signaled everyone to stop, he himself slowly stuck his head out against the wall and saw several bandits standing there.

  Wang Yuan sees and uses gestures to tell them that there are three people and where they stand. Then he hits the one leaning against the wall on the left.

  He stretched out three fingers, counted to three, and Zhang Qipeng and Wang Can rolled down to the ground. Wang Yuanshen flashed his body and quickly fired a shot. Then he hid again. The attention of those people was attracted by Wang Yuanshen. After they "rolled" out, the bandits did not react so quickly. By the time they reacted, they had already been sent to see "Anla" by the two of them.

  Li Nan climbed to the top of the earthwork after discovering that only two positions, east and north, had people standing guard. He immediately informed Yuan Shuai through his earpiece about the situation.

  Yuan Shuai was even more certain that the hostages were in the northeast direction. He asked, "Can we reach the ground floor without alerting the sentry?"

  "It's a bit difficult to estimate because the entrance is right in between two sentry posts." Li Nan said after scouting around.

  "Alright, then just do whatever is convenient. We'll try to make a big noise here and see if there's an opportunity to take them down."

  "I understand."

  They continued to move forward, picking up the guns of the bandits from earlier and firing wildly into the air.

  As soon as Li Nan heard the gunshot, he quickly approached the one on the east side and shot the one on the north side. The one on the east side just reacted and turned around to see Li Nan standing face-to-face with him. He was stunned for a moment, and Li Nan grabbed his gun with his left hand and slapped his throat with his right hand, causing the guy to foam at the mouth.

  Li Nan has always "despised" Yuan Shuai's 1.5 cm killing method, thinking it is not fair and square.

  He opened the wooden stairs and walked down carefully with his back against the wall.

  Li Nan is a man with a bigger temper than the sky, if it weren't for executing tasks he would have gone down long ago.

  He walked less than two flights of stairs and found someone muttering something. He quietly approached, seeing two "devout soldiers" talking about something there.

  This gave him a kind of inexplicable excitement, as he hadn't had a good chance to show off his kung fu skills for a long time. He just watched as the other person slowly walked away.

  "Hey," he said first.

  They turned around, and Li Nan kicked one of them flying several meters away. Then he grabbed the other person's head, pulled it towards himself, sandwiched it in his armpit, and twisted his body to the right. A cracking sound was heard, and the neck was broken like that. The guy who was kicked out got up, just thinking of shooting with a gun, Li Nan kicked another foot, and the bandit's occipital bone left a white mark on the wall.

  Yuan Shuai and his men were no longer as relaxed as Li Nan, the "Devout Army" had ambushed all its heavy troops here. However, this was also what Yuan Shuai and his men wanted to see.

  Although Yuan Shuai had no strength to speak, he could only lie on the ground, his breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

  Wang Yuan saw they were anxious and if they delayed any further, General Yuan's life would be lost here.

  Rushed in like crazy.

  All the danger had already disappeared at that moment. They didn't want to see their comrades fall in front of them, it was a loss, a brotherly friendship that ordinary people couldn't understand.

  Wang Can's leg was hit, but it didn't hit the bone. He continued to attack with his bleeding leg. In such an environment, people will forget everything, especially when their comrades fall in front of them. This feeling of hot blood surging up is enough for a lifetime. It's enough. Having this kind of emotion once in a lifetime is satisfying.
