Chapter 352: Chapter 352 Departure Chapter 352: Chapter 352 Departure Three hours later, without a single person falling behind, they finally reached the high ground.
After An Zhiyuan handed over mand to the acting team leader Bao Yong of the allied team, he led the others to two other locations to coordinate the handover; once all the positions were secured, the allied team successfully withdrew.
The area they were in had many hills of varying sizes around it, and the positions were very important. Many places were not marked with elevations on the map. They were generally named after their hills, and if there were no local names, they were named after special dates.
The mountains in the early morning were peaceful. Even the sounds of the insects around them could be heard clearly. Although they had successfully pleted the handoff, their mood was even more tense.
They were ready to enter a state of bat readiness at any time, possibly engaging with the enemy, and more likely to suffer casualties.
This was their first time facing such situations.
On the opposite high ground, one could vaguely see people moving about, and both sides’ defenses had already been initiated.
An Zhiyuan could not rest. During the scorching day, when everyone had no tasks at hand, they stayed vigilant, hiding in the bunkers and observing the surroundings. Starting today, their daily routine of observation work involved designated observers using telescopes to watch the enemy and report any developments.
……
While An Zhiyuan and his team were in the midst of action, Bai Xiao and the female Health Team were resting on standby at the local hospital.
However, soon after the exchange of teams, two locations experienced various weapon attacks.
The two sides had been in a stalemate for many years, evolving from intense confrontations to occasional weapon strikes now.
But the leaders of the Health Team couldn’t sit still. They knew once a weapons incident occurred, there would definitely be casualties needing emergency treatment.
The female Health Team couldn’t just hide in the hospital all the time.
So they were divided into ten squads; Bai Xiao and Liu Yun formed one such squad and had to carry medical supplies and equipment up the terrain.
This time, they were going to the front line in reality, directly facing death, an experience of cruelty they had never seen before.
The leaders had initially planned to have them go up in the evening.
During the day, moving on the roads was too dangerous. They were too conspicuous a target and could easily bee a focus of the enemy’s attacks.
Moreover, the focus now was not on attacking primary targets, but rather on striking vehicles transporting supplies and personnel.
But this time, no one was available to escort them.
Their teammates who came with them had long since gone to their respective positions, posing an even greater risk for them, especially driving at night without lights, a recipe for disastrous crashes on the curvy roads.
The leaders had considered the situation several times.
Ultimately, fog arose this morning.
The leaders quickly arranged for drivers to transport them to their destination, one vehicle for every ten squads, escorted by four rades.
Bai Xiao and her team sat in the vehicle with trepidation.
This was different from any previous time. They heard they had to cross the notoriously famed line of life and death. Only after passing this line could they really enter the destination they sought.
The actual border where both sides confronted each other was, oddly enough, not the main battleground. The rades hiding in the trenches were not in much danger even when weapons struck.
But it was rumored that many people had lost their lives on that infamous line of life and death.
Even before they had a chance to do what they wanted to do.
How could the members of the Health Team like Bai Xiao not feel nervous?
Even Bai Xiao herself was being increasingly uneasy with this tense atmosphere.
