Chapter 42: Li Gang Seriously Injured
The battle is ongoing, the opponent's attack is too professional, Xie Xiaoshuai estimated that most of these people are foreign mercenaries, appearing here with the purpose of escorting the horse team. However, unfortunately, they encountered the Sha Hu squad. Xie Xiaoshuai thought that in this country where mercenaries are forbidden, if he let them escape like this, it would be a shame that Sha Hu could never wash away, so he must keep all these mercenaries here forever.
The Desert Fox squad could only find opportunities to counterattack in the gaps between the opponent's alternate shots, but the effect was good. Basically, every counterattack could solve one or two people, and the opponent still had nearly forty people left. However, under their alternate covering fire, they gradually advanced forward, and the distance with the Desert Fox squad became closer and closer.
The people of the Desert Fox squad could only hide behind the bunker and throw hand grenades to stop the enemy's advance. The opponent's hand grenades also came over, but the Desert Fox had a bunker to protect them, so they were basically not affected by the hand grenade explosion. Those mercenaries weren't so lucky, as their position was in an open area, and when the hand grenade exploded, one or two of them were blown away.
The mercenaries dispersed quickly, and the effect of the hand grenade also diminished. Slowly, the mercenaries stopped firing, and the forest suddenly fell eerily silent for a moment.
The desert fox squad thought it was a good opportunity and immediately popped up to shoot. However, when they saw the situation in front of them, they were stunned and even forgot to pull the trigger.
"Rocket launcher, take cover!" Xie Xiaoshuai reacted the fastest and immediately issued a warning.
The three mercenaries surrounding them were carrying rocket launchers aimed at them, waiting for them to make a move. The three people on this side pulled the triggers of the rocket launchers, and the rockets flew towards the sandy fox's hiding place with a whooshing sound.
All the members of the Sha Fox team lay down with their hands covering their heads, but Chiffon Snake reacted a little slower. When the rocket was about to fly over, she hadn't fully lain down yet. Li Gang, who was next to her, saw that something was wrong and rushed forward, pressing Chiffon Snake to the ground. He lay on top of her, using his back to shield her from danger.
"Boom, boom, boom." After three loud explosions, the forest fell silent again. The mercenaries did not rush forward, holding their weapons and vigilantly facing the direction of the Sand Fox squad.
"Cough cough. Hua Hua, are you alright?" Li Gang asked weakly with a smile.
The cauliflower snake opened its eyes, saw Li Gang pressed on itself, face less than 20 centimeters away from itself, and glared: "Get out of my way, I don't need your protection." Then it was about to push Li Gang away.
"You're fine, I'm at ease." Li Gang's voice grew weaker and weaker, and after finishing speaking, he fainted.
Caihua Snake suddenly became anxious: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Her voice was even trembling.
Wang Jizhen, who was beside them, hastily lifted his head and crawled over to observe the situation. He only saw Li Gang's back, with blood gushing out rapidly, soon staining his clothes red.
"Team member injured, needs cover." Wang Jizhen spoke into the walkie-talkie while moving Li Gang away from the snake's body.
Caihua snake was already in disarray at this time, helping Wang Jizhen to put Li Gang on the ground properly, and still saying "How are you?"
"What are you doing? Are you a doctor or not, why aren't you giving him emergency treatment?" Wang Jizhen shouted loudly.
The cauliflower snake was indeed panicked, and it even forgot that it was a tactical doctor. It was awakened by Wang Jizhen's loud shout, hastily took out the first-aid kit, cut open Li Gang's clothes, and started hemostatic bandaging.
Xie Xiao Shuai and several others also gathered around, seeing Li Gang's severe injury made everyone's eyes red, revealing the deep camaraderie among them. Watching the rescue of the snakebite victim, they formed a defensive circle around them, ready to protect their brother and comrade with their own lives as soon as the mercenaries arrived.
At this time, the mercenaries below began to act. They were preparing to move forward and annihilate the Desert Fox squad to avenge their fallen brothers. When they approached within ten meters of the Desert Fox squad's cover, a burst of gunfire erupted, and seven or eight mercenaries fell into a pool of blood.
The border defense armed police support has arrived! The intelligence staff officer of the armed police commanded the troops to advance quickly, and as soon as they saw the target, they started firing. Firing while moving is not a high-precision technique for even a skilled shooter, but it makes up for it with sheer quantity - a platoon of 34 people unleashed a dense barrage of fire, achieving quite good results.
The mercenaries saw that things were not going their way and knew that revenge was hopeless. If both sides attacked them together, they wouldn't be able to escape. The mercenaries began to retreat under the command of their leader, alternating cover and leaving behind several corpses, slowly disappearing into the dense forest.
The Sand Fox team was in no mood to continue fighting due to the life and death of their comrades, and they did not pursue. The intelligence staff of the armed police could only watch as the mercenaries disappeared into the jungle, he dared not lead the team to pursue, if those mercenaries came with all their might, he didn't know what price he would have to pay to keep them all here.
The people from the Desert Fox squad were all standing outside the operating room, staring at the red light on the door, anxiously waiting. Several hours later, the green light came on and a doctor wearing a mask walked out.
Caihua Snake hastily went forward to ask about Li Gang's safety.
"Don't worry, the wounded person is no longer in danger of losing their life. All the shrapnel has been removed, it's just that they lost too much blood, and after a few days of rest, they'll be fine. Fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time, which greatly reduced the lethality of the shrapnel, and it only penetrated his muscle tissue. Otherwise, with such a close-range explosion, even if he didn't die, he would likely have been paralyzed."
The doctor finished speaking and left, Li Gang was pushed out of the operating room by someone, lying on a stretcher with an IV drip and blood bag. His eyes were tightly closed, which was due to the anesthesia not wearing off yet, his pale face was as white as a card.
Caihua snake Liu Yuxin saw this situation, tears streaming down her face, and followed the medical staff to push Li Gang into the ward.
Several men gritted their teeth and vowed to avenge Li Gang. Chen Hongjun told Xie Xiaoshuai that he had thrown a GPS locator into the pocket of a high-ranking member of the drug trafficking group, and now they should be able to find those people's location.
Yin Zhilin quickly took out his mobile terminal and used the satellite to locate the specific GPS location. The displayed location was already outside the national border, although not far from the national border line. However, they could not cross the border for combat operations, this was a red line that no one could touch. Unless it was after consultations between the two countries, and the other party agreed to allow our armed personnel to enter their territory for combat operations, but such things were very difficult.
At this time, Zhang Jia brought fruit and flowers to visit Li Gang. Zhang Jialin hurriedly came forward to greet them. Seeing the two of them chatting familiarly, it seemed that their distance had been shortened a lot due to their pretend lovers' act a few days ago.
Zhang Jia put the flowers and fruit in the ward, comforted Liu Yuxin a few words and then left the room. Zhang Jialin informed Zhang Jia of the situation they had just learned, and Zhang Jia said he would immediately go back to report to the leader.
The next day, Zhang Jia found Xie Xiaoshuai and told him that the police had contacted the Myanmar side through Interpol. The local police in Myanmar were closely monitoring the location they provided, but it was a complex area, both a China-Myanmar border region and a place where several large villages were concentrated. So far, they have not found any trace of the drug trafficking group, and the Myanmar side is gathering troops to launch a dragnet search in that area. They will invite the Chinese military to join forces when the time comes, striving to wipe them out in one fell swoop. At the same time, ask the Sha Hu Xiao team to be prepared and wait for the notification to start the action.
Half a month later, Li Gang's wound had basically healed, and the scab on the wound had fallen off, revealing pink new flesh. During this half-month period, Caihua snake Liu Yuxin took great care of Li Gang's daily life, like a little daughter-in-law, and Li Gang often smiled foolishly while watching Liu Yuxin do things. He exclaimed that he was very happy and had found a good wife, even if he were to be bombed again, he would be willing. Liu Yuxin quickly covered his mouth and said it was unlucky. The relationship between the two people finally became established, which should have been a very exciting thing, but Xie Xiaoshuai's heart was not happy.
Because according to the rules, two people in love cannot stay in the same unit. The rule is very strict and no one can change it. If the two are really together, then one of them must be transferred out of the Sha Hu Xiao team, which is something Xie Xiao Shuai cannot tolerate.
