Chapter 15: Battle! In the Name of the Motherland

  "... Set up cover! Quick!" Ye Yangjian led the assault team into the old street, but was suppressed by the firepower of the armed men and couldn't lift his head. He was forced to take cover separately in a small alleyway. Bullets occasionally flew over or hit the wall above their heads with a "whooshing" sound.

  "Rat-a-tat-a-tat!... Rat-a-tat-a-tat... ~" The opposing armed personnel's AK-47 devoured a large quantity of 7.62mm bullets, whizzing towards the direction where the squad members were hiding.

  "Damn it! Son of a...! The AK's firepower is no joke!" The corner of the AK's mouth was grazed by a bullet-splattered stone, spitting out blood as he cursed.

  "... Shi Ban... Shi Ban! Report your position!" Ye Yang Jian switched his personal radio to the unit frequency and asked.

  "...I'm here! You finally arrived! I'm organizing an ambush on the north side of the old street, the enemy's firepower is very strong. My team members have casualties! Hurry up and open a gap, we'll surround them from both sides!" Shi Yunbin said while communicating with Ye Yangjian, meanwhile using his 95-style assault rifle to counterattack, there were too many armed men on the other side, and he was anxious to break through. It's very difficult on his end.

  "Big bear! Tank, open fire! Pin down the enemy in front of us at the center of Old Street!" Yeyang Jian hastily ordered the firepower unit to provide covering fire.

  "Received! Baron." On the rooftop of a two-story building on the street, the military machine gun "Boom boom boom..." fired as scheduled, and bullets poured down like a stormy rain, making Night Yang Jian feel much less pressure.

  "Knives! How many double-edged knives are on your body?" Double-edged knife single soldier landmine can be used as a remote-controlled bomb, with astonishing power.

  "... alley fight mission, didn't bring much, just two." Brought Knife touched his backpack and replied.

  "... Assault team, covering fire! Grenade! Tank! Prepare RPG! Smoke! ..." Yèyáng Jiàn gave the order, relying on the firepower of the big bear machine gun to suppress and cover. The assault team immediately rushed out of the alley. Scattered soldiers lined up on the old street, four 95-style assault rifles began to roar. Four people fired a grenade at different times, a dense explosion sounded. The veterinarian pulled out a smoke bomb, throwing it out amidst the hail of bullets. The smoke bomb rolled into the captured area with a flash of firelight, raising a thick yellow smoke...

  "…Opportunity! Go!" The guitarist swept out a row of bullets, loudly reminding his partner. Taking advantage of their own smoke and hail of bullets as cover, the chef dropped the gun in his hand, picked up the "double-edged knife", and started sprinting forward at an extremely fast speed, circling around the S-shaped path. When he was about to reach the enemy's position, he jumped into the air, grabbed the double-edged knife with both hands, and stabbed it into the ground. With a swift somersault, he quickly started running back! The armed men's retaliatory bullets "whooshed" as they chased him everywhere...

  "Boom!" A dazzling flash of fire. The RPG rocket propelled grenade launched by the tank exploded at the forefront of the firing line! Several armed men were blown up.

  "Tank! Oh my god! If we launch later, we'll be dead! My butt is all bruised from the explosion!" The cleaver hastily retreated back to his own base, irritably rubbing the wounds on his buttocks that were scraped by the shattered stones. He took over his weapon from the guitarist and added all his frustration into the bullets, crazily shooting at the enemy...

  "…Attack formation! Advance!" With Yozora Kengo's command, the five members of the assault team got up from the ground, formed a wedge-shaped formation, and while suppressing the armed men with gunfire, they advanced forward.

  "...Steady formation! Bayonet charge! Advance!" The razor-sharp assault team formation, after advancing over a dozen meters, all dropped to the ground. Night Yang Jian saw that they had reached the charging position and immediately gave the order.

  "Boom!~~~~~" With the distant explosion of the double-edged knife infantry's landmine, the originally intense AK gunfire suddenly became sparse.

  "Damn snake! You're hibernating, aren't you? Get moving for me!" Night Yang Jian cursed in the headset! The sniper rifle had been silent for a long time.

  "...Baron, I just lost my shooting position! I'm moving with Dagger!" Viper said irritably in the earpiece. The surrounding buildings weren't very high. He was about to rush onto the street to snipe at the enemy.

  "...Spectacles Snake, report in, how many more?"

  "...About fifteen people, Shi Ban Chang is leading the charge! The situation will open up soon." Eyesnake, who was responsible for providing visual reconnaissance to the sniper team and the entire team, reported the situation in the earpiece.

  "... Squad Leader Shi! What's the situation on your end?" Night Yang Jian knew that someone in Wolf Claw Team 3 was injured and hastily asked over the radio.

  "...Three people lightly injured!...Dadada...! We're going to charge! You team, coordinate a bit!" Shi Yunbin's slightly urgent breathing came from the earpiece, one of the injured being himself. After all, they were the ones who fired first, so their losses were relatively heavy.

  "...Hmph..."

  "...Hiss~" The venomous snake and twin daggers sniper rifle finally fired...

  "Baron, we're closing in on you!" The big bear and tank approached the assault team with military machine guns and shotguns. In this situation, they were quite familiar with what was to come next.

  "...Fire team, get down! Ten seconds! Load ammunition! Wolf pack! Bayonet dare-to-die squad!..." Night Yang Jian roared into the intercom with red eyes!

  The reply was the sound of loading ammunition.

  "Damn it! Puppies! Come on!" With a loud roar, the big bear stood up first, holding a machine gun, and the veterinarian and Ye Yangjian also got up, standing to his left and right. "Boom boom boom ~ boom boom boom ~ boom boom boom..." The big bear's powerful muscles trembled under the huge recoil of the machine gun, sweeping across every inch of the enemy's position, with many hot shells falling down with each step. Ye Yangjian and the veterinarian held up their 95 assault rifles. "...Da da da... Da da da..." They kept firing in support. Behind them, AK and Chopper also stood up, firing to suppress the enemy, and further back were Guitarist and Tank...

  The big bear held a heavy machine gun to open the way, seven people formed a bayonet-like formation, pouring all their firepower, stubbornly approaching the enemy's position. The enemy was suppressed by firepower and did not dare to lift their heads. Finally, they approached the hiding armed elements within ten meters.

  "Pistols! Engage the enemy!" In a movement that seemed almost rehearsed, the seven bayonet-wielding soldiers tossed their primary weapons aside and drew the 92-style 9mm large-caliber military pistols from their thighs before charging forward.

  "...Bang! Bang! Bang bang! Bang..." In the dark of night, the muzzle flash of a 9mm military pistol was so dazzling.

  ………

  "Captain, how should we deal with the armed personnel's casualties?" AK asked through the earpiece.

  "I didn't receive any orders to take prisoners! Execute them all!" Kaito said firmly into the headset.

  No hesitation whatsoever.

  "...Slap!..."

  "...Bang!......"

  The order was carried out resolutely. The huge sound of the 9mm military pistol, without a silencer, striking the primer after the hammer fell, echoed and scattered in all directions...

  No time to deal with other things, Ye Yang Jian dropped his gun and rushed towards the location of the third class.

  "Veterinarian! Veterinarian! Come quickly!" Yè Yáng Jiàn looked at Shǐ Yún Bīn's wound and immediately turned around to shout...

  "Old Shi! Are you alright?!" Night Yang Jian asked as he looked at the Third Squad Leader Shi Yunbin, whose left shoulder was constantly bleeding.

  "I won't die... Veterinary doctor, don't mind me first, go take a look at my brothers, they're heavily injured! Ah......" Shi Yunbin's eyes were slightly teary.

  This operation suffered significant losses, with two members of the Wolf Claw Squad in Class 3 making the ultimate sacrifice. Class leader Shi Yunbin was shot in the left shoulder and temporarily lost combat effectiveness, while another member was lightly injured. In comparison, Class 10 led by Ye Yangjian fared much better, although many were grazed by shrapnel, they remained intact as a unit and retained their full combat strength.

  This was also the first time they had lost comrades in battle, and the entire tenth squad stood silently there, speechless. Yè Yáng Jiàn lit three cigarettes and placed them on the ground, looking up at the gray sky.

  "...In the name of our motherland, dear comrades! Farewell!..." The year-end snow has finally fallen...

  "...Collect all the weapons used by the enemy and bring them back!" Yeyang Jian gave orders to the heavily armed Big Bear and Tank...

  ……

  Kashgar Daily's headline on the second day: "Kashgar shocked by boiler explosion last night, casualties unknown!" "According to reliable sources from this newspaper, a boiler exploded at a bathhouse in Kashgar city last night, injuring multiple staff members. Public security, armed police, and fire departments have sealed off the scene. The cause of the accident is under investigation..."

  The next morning, Ye Yangjian was bored to flip through the newspaper. This was what he had expected all along. The order from the headquarters came down, and the 10th class continued to stay in Kashgar to assist the local authorities in eliminating the rebel armed forces. The wounded of the 3rd class were transferred back to the troops, and the remaining personnel of the 3rd class were combined with the 10th class as one team, temporarily led by Ye Yangjian... until the task was completed.
