However, the team has already arrived here, and communicating with others might easily expose us. Whether to attack or not all depends on Ghost Hand's decision. Ghost Hand forced himself to calm down, gestured for Bao Li not to make any rash moves, and looked ahead at the bonfire. The fifty-ter distance is filled with many trees, making it difficult for a surprise attack. Retreating is definitely not an option. He crouched down and examined the trap along the tal wire, discovering it was a tripwire mine. Touching the tal wire would trigger an explosion, and to make matters worse, Luo Zheng found out the trap had a remote control, aning the enemy could detonate it remotely.
Retreating is not a wise choice. Ghost Hand understands Luo Zheng's plan, which is to let these fifty people trigger the trap and see what tricks the enemy might play. But how can we probe the enemy's conspiracy without engaging? Strategy is crucial if we decide to fight the presence of the tripwire mines ahead forbids charging forward. Luo Zheng pulled out a grenade and signaled Bao Li.
Bao Li nodded, understanding, and also retrieved a grenade, making several gestures. The fifty n behind Bao Li also drew grenades. Ghost Hand raised three fingers; Bao Li nodded in comprehension. Ghost Hand closed one finger after another until all three were closed, then mustered strength and threw the grenade forward.
Bao Li and the others followed suit, vigorously throwing their grenades toward the enemy ahead. The mont grenades are thrown, exposure is inevitable. Ghost Hand dared not stay behind and wait for death; he turned and fled. As he reached Bao Li, he grabbed Bao Li and fled wildly. He gestured while doing so, but Bao Li didn't understand, though he knew sothing was up, and imdiately shouted in native dialect for the team to retreat.
"Boom!" Just as everyone ran a few ters, a massive explosion sounded from behind; tree trunks as thick as bowls were blown away directly, shrapnel flew around, embedding in trees with a buzzing sound. Those who ran slowly were hit by shrapnel, falling into pools of blood with screams.
At the sound, Ghost Hand realized the tripwire mine where he stood was set off, exposing everyone. Then a series of explosions followed, the grenades thrown madly exploding as well. The scene around the bonfire was horrifying in the night; flashes of red clouds appeared, quickly swallowed by the darkness.
"Quick, take the wounded and retreat. There are traps." Ghost Hand shouted, regardless of whether Bao Li could hear him. He went back, picked up a wounded soldier on the ground, and continued to run wildly. Others caught on, picking up the other three wounded and charged toward Ghost Hand's direction.
The enemy is prepared, knowing it's a trap, but Ghost Hand dared not lead people to charge and court death recklessly. A round of grenades revealed the enemy's intentions. While running, Ghost Hand yelled through the earpiece, "There's a trap within fifty-ter radius around the enemy's bonfire, density unknown, Mountain Eagle, it's up to you."
"A lot of big fish were blown up." Mountain Eagle's anxious voice sounded from the earpiece.
Ghost Hand paused, turned back to look, and found the area around the bonfire in disarray. Those chatting were scattered, several dead, but suddenly a lot of people appeared around the bonfire, shooting guns. People behind him fell after being shot, terrifying him, he quickly shouted, "Hide and counterattack."
Unfortunately, Bao Li couldn't understand Ghost Hand's words, but he knew to emulate. Seeing Ghost Hand stop and shoot back, he did the sa, shouting sothing loudly in native dialect. Soon, everyone scattered, each finding a place to hide and firing back.
"Why so many people?" Mountain Eagle's voice sounded in the earpiece.
Ghost Hand focused his gaze and indeed saw a dozen people rushing from the bonfire direction, puzzled at where these people ca from originally. Just now, a round of grenades should have killed quite a few enemies. Where did these sudden appearing enemies hide originally? But he knew now wasn't the ti to dwell on it. Ghost Hand's face darkened, rapidly aid ahead and began shooting back, while shouting through the earpiece, "The enemy has troops hidden nearby, number unclear, approximately fifteen enemies are catching up on us, this bunch is ours to handle, Mountain Eagle, watch the surroundings."
"Alright, be careful." Mountain Eagle agreed readily. The enemy ca prepared; before their true intentions are exposed, it's inconvenient for us to reveal ourselves imdiately.
Ghost Hand continued shouting, "Bao Li, scatter and counterattack."
Bao Li didn't understand, his cold gaze fixed on the enemies charging forward, his expression tense, shouting sothing in native dialect. Ghost Hand saw everyone had scattered, in threes and twos, yet not imdiately firing but instead hiding well at various places. Ghost Hand was startled, puzzled as he looked toward Bao Li.
The language barrier beca apparent, Bao Li looked at Ghost Hand, eyes filled with urgency and coldness, perhaps realizing communication was impossible, kept silent, bent over, and concealed behind a big tree. Luo Zheng cast a puzzled glance at others, who all bent over, changed hiding spots without regard for incoming bullets.
The enemy pursued closely, getting nearer and nearer, Ghost Hand decisively ceased firing, planning to see what intentions Bao Li had. anwhile, he whispered, "Brother Mountain Eagle, watch the sniper cover."
"No problem." Mountain Eagle quickly agreed, suddenly said anxiously, "There's sothing strange; more than ten people are erging by the bonfire again, originally hiding underground, dispersed in foxholes. These beasts are crafty; they spread out, advance to search, seeming to have discovered us."
"Then you better watch yourself." Ghost Hand's expression stiffened, looked at the approaching enemies, ready to fire when Bao Li suddenly let out a strange yell like a leopard roar, the surroundings imdiately echoed, resembling wolf pack howls. Then, gunfire erupted, dense bullets suddenly poured towards the enemy.
"These guys." Ghost Hand imdiately understood Bao Li's intended tactic, smiled, raised the gun aid forward, and calmly point-shot, killing exposed enemies.
At this mont, Bao Li led people to charge fiercely forward, leaving about twenty people to suppress the enemy's firepower, covering the others to advance. Ghost Hand saw this, smiled knowingly; continuous combat made Bao Li grow, learn many attack tactics. Given ti, Bao Li would also beco an excellent tactical commander.
"Kill!" Ghost Hand roared, dashed out of the cover, precisely shooting to suppress enemy firepower, forcing them to hide behind cover, not daring to show their heads.
Bao Li led people charging up, only about twenty ters away from the enemy, scattered to hide and swept towards enemies fiercely, forcing them to change hiding spots, exposing themselves to other people's gunfire, and the enemy began to suffer casualties.
Fifty against over ten, with firepower advantage, coupled with proper tactics, Ghost Hand concealed in the dark constantly targeted shots, putting pressure on the enemy. The battle turned intense; gunfire and explosions echoed through the forest, breaking the still night, startling birds to flee, driving beasts away, as if the sky were being lit up.
