Chapter Fifty-Four: The Use of Flash Grenades

  Xu Ming hid on the rooftop, watching as group after group of base personnel passed by beneath his eyelids. The other groups apparently also discovered him, but they didn't pay attention.

  Xu Ming and his men held on tightly to the periphery, trying their best to avoid contact with the large number of terrorists. Once they made contact, it was a case of one touch and they would all scatter, each running faster than a rabbit.

  Fortunately, the terrain of Basu town was complex and the situation was chaotic. Xu Ming and his men were very slippery and didn't give them a chance to catch their breath. Under the cover of night, the opposing army couldn't do anything about Xu Ming and his men for the time being.

  Of course, Xu Ming knew that the main reason for this was that as soon as day broke, all their advantages would be gone and they would all become lambs to be slaughtered at will. The task had to be completed at night.

  However, Xu Ming also noticed that there was another team with almost the same reaction. They were also keeping a distance similar to theirs and wandering around the periphery.

  Xu Ming picked up a shell they left behind, an M700 sniper rifle. This sniper rifle has high accuracy and fast firing speed, but its power is relatively weak. It will change the trajectory to varying degrees when passing through thicker wooden boards, but it excels in mobility and light weight.

  There is a footprint, it's a girl's footprint. It seems to be Aili who met in the bush. She carries an M700 sniper rifle, which is indeed suitable for girls. The AWM girl carries it and moves with difficulty.

  "Boss, there are many people appearing from the direction of our target. It seems that some of them are heading in our direction. Looks like the people upstairs have already started selling us out."

  Glen's voice came through the earpiece, Xu Ming let out a cold snort and said "Withdraw".

  Their speed was fast, without any dragging or hesitation, leaving behind a trail of mysterious thunder, and in the darkness, the effect of the mysterious thunder was surprisingly good.

  Kap and others appeared in front of Xu Ming, Xu Ming had drawn a simple map on the ground, his art was not good, but ordinary abstract maps could still be seen.

  "Judging from the observation just now, these markings are roughly the deployment of terrorist forces. In my judgment, we have definitely been sold out. So, it's not unexpected that we will face encirclement, which is not good at all. If things go wrong, they'll wipe us out in one fell swoop." Xu Ming said, pointing to the map.

  Others nodded in agreement. Caruso rubbed his hands vigorously, excitedly saying: "Boss, tell us how to do it! Don't keep us in suspense."

  Xu Ming shifted his gaze to Jinpu and Ge Lan.

  Jinpu also nodded and said, "Boss's speculation is correct. If I were Qu Qi, I would definitely deploy troops according to the positions we've exposed, only by surrounding us, restricting our mobility, can they take advantage of their superiority and eliminate us."

  Glen also nodded in agreement.

  "Since you all think so, it's almost settled." Xu Ming pointed to a street on the map and said, "I've noticed this street for a long time. It's a must-pass place for their encirclement. There aren't many troops, but there are searchlights and pillboxes to assist, and there may be heavy firepower."

  "My intention is to break through this blockade line, then come out from here and give them a penetration. Then make another counter-attack, and finally reach this position."

  Everyone's eyes lit up, and Xu Ming's arrangement was indeed seamless. Every move seemed to be aimed at the enemy's most advantageous spot, but each time it was a risky maneuver, and after several rounds, no one could have predicted that they would appear in the core area.

  "Isn't this going to be very dangerous? Let the military deal with us..." Gren still voiced everyone's concerns.

  Xu Ming smiled faintly and said, "No, this place was originally where the enemy had more troops, but now they have already opened up their encirclement. Although our area is also a core region, I dare say there won't be too many people, just everyone needs to be careful of snipers."

  "This time, it's a gamble. If we keep dodging and avoiding direct confrontation with the enemy, by dawn, I guarantee that even if we don't die at the hands of the enemy, we'll die at our own hands. Let's act."

  Six black shadows dispersed instantly, taking advantage of the cover of night to jump and dodge the strong light beams, quickly approaching their target street.

  It's probably because of the excellent defense here that terrorist troops come and go, but they haven't noticed the eyes watching them in the dark corners.

  This is an area where both spotlights can radiate, the dark interval does not exceed 3 seconds, and there are defensive circular fortifications on the street. In the nearby two-story and three-story civilian houses, half of the heavy machine guns can be seen exposed.

  "Boss, it's really tough." Gren whispered from his earpiece.

  Xu Ming looked cautiously at the dark windows nearby, where there was a small hole on each window. When the searchlight shone through, it reflected slightly differently.

  Sniper, didn't expect there's a sniper here too.

  "Report your coordinates." Xu Ming raised his wrist and asked in a low voice.

  Glen replied first: "97,316."

  “75,643.”“33,210.”“99,125.”.....

  Xu Ming adjusted the coordinate indicator on his wrist, getting a rough idea of the area. He quietly aimed his AWM sniper rifle at a window across from him.

  When the spotlight shone over again, Xu Ming quickly pulled the trigger.

  "Hmm."

  A dull thud came from the window opposite, and blood splattered all over the glass.

  "Glenn, Cap, Maya, Flashbang."

  As Xu Ming let out a loud shout, three flash grenades were thrown from different corners and exploded in mid-air. It was just at the interval between the searchlights' sweeps, plunging everything into darkness.

  With Xu Ming firing a shot, his position was exposed and everyone's attention was focused on him. This sudden burst of strong light almost wiped out the terrorists here.

  "Charge!"

  Xu Ming pulled out the assassin and rushed out from the corner first, while others also rushed out from different corners. The chaotic and noisy gunfire filled the street, but disappeared eerily in less than 5 seconds.

  The eyes of these terrorists gradually recovered from temporary blindness, but the scene in front of them was shocked to the extreme.

  On the ground, more than thirty corpses were scattered all over, with fresh blood flowing everywhere, yet they hadn't even seen a shadow of their opponents.

  In just five short seconds, not including the time it took for the enemy to flee, more than thirty battle-hardened soldiers were instantly annihilated, leaving behind a huge gap.

  The leader of the group was trembling uncontrollably with fear. Luckily, when the flash hit his eyes, he had ducked down to the ground and covered his head, or else he would have been done for too.

  But he didn't have time to indulge in sentiment, and hastily yelled out loudly: "Someone has broken through the A71 point defense line! The number of people is unknown, sound the alarm! Sound the alarm quickly!"
