The search team quickly returned without any discoveries. This result secretly relieved the Major. No matter what, as long as nothing happened, it was fine. A Lieutenant looked cautiously at the sinkhole below, speaking with so concern, "Officer, I noticed earlier that there were as many people returning as there were coming; it's impossible for soone to hide nearby. If they were really the enemy, wouldn't it be unreasonable to just make a round and leave? Could they have tampered with the bottom of the sinkhole?"
"How can they do that without going down?" a Lieutenant next to him disdainfully whispered, fawningly glancing at the Major, continuing, "Chief, we all know what's below; it's indeed very important. We're not letting our guard down, but to say that without going down they could tamper with it, unless they were magicians."
"What if they threw a bomb?" The previous Lieutenant discontentedly argued.
"Haha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard. If a grenade were thrown down, wouldn't it explode? It's been so long; did anyone hear any explosion sounds? Did you hear anything?" This Lieutenant sneered sarcastically, "Don't insult our chief's intelligence, okay? Are you trying to say it was a tid bomb? Aside from weapons, they only had Japanese swords; could we not see a bomb if they had one? Fine, even if they had a tid bomb, it would make noise when it hit the ground. Don't forget we have people guarding down there. On such a quiet night, wouldn't we hear it?"
The Major thought it made sense; if it were a grenade, it would have exploded by now. If it were a tid bomb, it would make a collision sound when thrown down, no reason not to hear it. Yet, still suspecting, he looked at Luo Zheng and the others who had already walked far away and shouted: "Stop arguing, follow , let's catch up and take a look."
The team sward and quickly caught up with Luo Zheng and the others. The Major ran up to Luo Zheng, smiled, and asked, "Mr. Shijing, where are you planning to go? I can bring people to support you, is that okay?"
"We're going to check out the dense forest ahead to prevent enemy infiltration. If you want to, you can follow along." Luo Zheng said nonchalantly, looking magnanimous, having set the explosion ti for ten minutes, unable to linger here.
Luo Zheng's magnanimity did not relieve the Major's suspicions. He led his people behind Luo Zheng and the others, while using the walkie-talkie to stay in contact with his team, instructing them to remain highly alert. Luo Zheng sneered, boldly leading the team straight through the middle of the trench position. Everyone was highly skilled and courageous, not a hint of panic.
Soon, the team walked out of the position, continuing towards the mountain. Ahead was the forest. Luo Zheng estimated Mountain Eagle and others were ambushed on either side. Signaling the team to stop, he pretended to observe the surroundings, inadvertently glancing back at the Major, noticing the other was using the infantry radio to contact soone, with a changed expression.
"Everyone, speed up the retreat." Luo Zheng sharply sensed sothing was off, lowered his voice, and said, while discreetly gesturing to Mountain Eagle and others ambushed nearby.
Everyone quickened their pace, not far out before hearing the Major call from behind ordering everyone to stop, Luo Zheng knew they were suspected, whispered loudly, "Quick, rush down."
Everyone realized they were exposed, without hesitation, they dashed madly down the mountain. At this mont, Mountain Eagle and others hidden around opened fire. The Major saw Luo Zheng and the others suddenly speed up and run, then realized what was happening, and was furious. Just as he was about to give an attack order, a sniper bullet whistled over, exploding his head directly.
The sudden gunfire startled the enemy trendously. They all lay down, searching, and saw Luo Zheng and others already rushing down the mountain. So wanted to rise to pursue but were quickly put down by sniper fire. The enemy panicked. With the Major shot dead, no one commanded, and during this ti, Luo Zheng and others had disappeared into the forest down the mountain.
From the enemy command post rushed out a team led by a Lieutenant Colonel. Seeing more than a dozen subordinates sniped dead on the ground and the even deader Major, his face turned icy, roaring, signaling the team to pursue. The searchlights all turned on, lighting up the surroundings as if dayti.
The Lieutenant Colonel led the team no more than a hundred ters out when a series of explosions bood from the back mountain, scaring everyone to the ground, hiding. The Lieutenant Colonel hesitated, then his face changed drastically, quickly got up, roaring, signaling the team to follow, running towards the back mountain.
The back mountain's sinkhole location was not far. Everyone quickly rushed up, seeing sparks inside the sinkhole, many cables burning. Through the light, they saw many places below bombed out, devastated, so signal dishes blasted beyond use.
Seeing this scene, the Lieutenant Colonel's face turned ashen, furiously leading his n back, wildly chasing in the direction Luo Zheng and others retreated. Guarding the sinkhole was the Lieutenant Colonel's responsibility. Now that the sinkhole was bombed and they didn't even know who the opponent was, this was a colossal responsibility. If he couldn't catch the culprit, he wouldn't be far from death.
Thinking of the consequences, the Lieutenant Colonel gritted his teeth, risking everything, imdiately ordering trusted troops to leave the position, following him in pursuit. If he couldn't catch the culprit, he didn't dare return to base, only to beco a bandit, being a drug dealer was better than facing a court-martial.
Luo Zheng didn't know the Lieutenant Colonel's distress, bursting out of the forest at the foot of the mountain, finding the place where supplies were stored, fully equipping, strapping on military gear, and donning the camouflage suit, restoring the original appearance. Mountain Eagle and others ran back unscathed. Explosions faintly echoed in the night, and hearing this, Luo Zheng completely relaxed, smiling. Everyone else smiled too. A mission seemingly difficult to the point of being impossible was astonishingly completed, without any injuries.
"The enemy will certainly co chasing soon; hurry and retreat." Luo Zheng coldly said.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison. A strong fighting spirit pervaded the team. After completing such a difficult mission, what did the pursuing soldiers count for? The rapid march, everyone feared nothing of the Yue Country troops.
The team packed up, quickly sprinting westward. The west was Yue Country's heartland; no one would expect Luo Zheng and others to head for Yue Country's doorstep instead of returning ho. In the dark night, everyone wore Night Vision Devices, running quickly, each moving like a cheetah, swiftly weaving through the forest, disappearing into the night.
At the base, near the cave entrance, Jackson stood on the open square, coldly watching the woods in the night. After receiving reports from all sides, soone reported to Jackson. A series of dazzling sneak attacks had caused great losses for Yue Country, more important was the radar array inside the sinkhole being destroyed.
A fully ard elite warrior ran up to Jackson, saluted, and said, "Captain, dostic news just arriving, the ambushers were our old adversaries, Ghost. The holand hopes we can eliminate them."
"Ghost? Indeed, it's you. Good, very good. What you gave , I will repay tenfold." Hearing this, Jackson's face instantly turned ghastly, gritting his teeth, saying, the surrounding air seemingly froze.
