The sky was bright with sunshine, cloudless and clear as if it had been washed clean, and the sunlight radiated heat, providing a touch of warmth to the frozen snowy mountain range. A gray speck roared into view, rapidly enlarging, and Luo Zheng watched the gray speck with a face full of shock. It turned out to be a silver-gray fighter jet, dominantly charging through the sky and emitting streams of awe-inspiring airflow, like an invincible War God sweeping away.
Luo Zheng stared intently at the departing fighter jet, his expression as grim as iron, with furrowed brows, lost in contemplation. Wu Jin ca up and said solemnly, "We anticipated ard helicopters but overlooked fighter jets. Fighter jets have a much longer flying range than ard helicopters, and now we're in for a treat."
The others were also awakened by the fighter jet's piercing roar, quickly stood up, inquiring among themselves about what happened, and looked at Luo Zheng with grave expressions. Luo Zheng thought for a mont and continued, "Everyone can go back to sleep. Enemy fighter jets can't find us here, or they would've attacked already—no need to worry; we'll talk when it's dark."
Everyone found this sensible, plus they were extrely fatigued, so they lay back down to sleep. They've braved through mountains of corpses and seas of blood; they're not going to be scared off by a fighter jet—at worst, they'd die. Lan Xue was wide awake and approached Luo Zheng, whispering, "The situation has gotten complicated. It seems the enemy is starting to pay attention to reconnaissance in the west. I'm certain the fighter jet is here to scare us into hiding, followed soon by a drone."
"One thing is certain now: our situation has escalated from the Snow Bear Special Warfare Team level to the Arctic Bear Country level. This ans we are being hunted not only by Snow Bears but by the entire Arctic Bear Military. We all know Snow Bear Base Camp has ard helicopters but no fighter jets; escaping from under the eyes of the entire Arctic Bear Military won't be easy. I need to seriously think about this." Luo Zheng said gravely.
The group moved further into the cave to avoid being detected by satellites. Suddenly, the faint sound of jet engines was heard, causing alarm. Luo Zheng quickly dashed forward, concealed beside a stone, looked up, and found it was a low-flying unmanned reconnaissance drone. He panicked and quickly retreated into the cave, saying, "The drone is here. It seems the enemy is sparing no expense in tracking us down."
"This suggests the border to return ho is also blocked. So should we continue heading west or change direction? We only have two choices: east or south; should we contact headquarters?" Wu Jin solemnly reminded them, knowing that in critical decision-making, one wrong move could bury all team mbers. No one dared to make a rash decision.
After brief contemplation, Luo Zheng said, "No way, both enemy fighter jets and drones are deployed, and they flew over our heads. That ans enemy satellites are closely monitoring this area. If the signal leaks, the enemy will lock onto our location; we absolutely cannot turn on the devices. Everyone wake up and check the electronic devices, remove all the batteries to be safe." This last sentence was shouted loudly to the surrounding brothers.
Given the information warfare capability of Arctic Bear Country, once a signal source is detected, it will be tracked and cracked. Remote startup could lead to system intrusion, then satellite localization to guide fighter jets for bombing. Ground troops wouldn't even need to be deployed for precise target elimination—it's a risk Luo Zheng can't afford.
The team quickly checked their electronic devices, removing all batteries, ensuring remote control couldn't be effected. Once this was done, everyone went back to sleep, oblivious to the danger—death held no fear, why would they fear fighter jets?
Luo Zheng gathered all officers for an on-site eting to discuss the next plan. The situation was clear to everyone, and Luo Zheng didn't mince words, getting straight to the point, "Brothers, the enemy has noticed us. During the day, we can have a good sleep to replenish energy; at night, we retreat. How do we retreat? Speak up, everyone."
Lan Xue and the others were accustod to Luo Zheng managing everything, so they hadn't thought of these issues. Wu Jin, Shadow, and Snow Fox exchanged a glance, unable to co up with a better solution. Wu Jin pondered and said, "If worse cos to worst, we split – fewer people are harder to track. With an interval of roughly two kiloters between us, we ensure Bluetooth connectivity and dispersal progression has the advantage of uncovering hideable caves along the route. By dawn, we have to find places to hide and stop moving."
Hiding by day and moving by night is also an option; nightti surveillance is more difficult. However, the drone's ultra-low altitude reconnaissance capability is incredibly strong, and escape may be uncertain. If exposed, enemy fighter jets will surely follow, and everyone will have to rely on their fate; let's not take this step unless absolutely necessary." Shadow, sowhat irritated, reminded the group.
"Indeed, this is a last resort, brother. Your father is pretty resourceful, do you have any ideas?" Snow Fox looked at Luo Zheng, saying seriously, his eyes full of hope.
Luo Zheng smiled wryly, "Everyone's well aware of the current situation. It's difficult to ensure absolute safety in escape. Let think it over carefully—you all chat; perhaps it will inspire ."
"We shouldn't worry too much. The biggest threat from the enemy is fighter jet bombing. Without missiles, fighter jets pose no threat to us. Ard helicopters have Fire God cannons, while fighter jets do not—they can only watch helplessly as we escape, at worst dispatch another fighter jet. We can use this weakness well," Lan Xue reminded Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng's eyes brightened, having so ideas yet still unrefined. Wu Jin supplented, "The enemy surely deployed more than one fighter jet. Here in the Arctic Bear's territory, fighter jets can fly all around without a word. So we must consider the threat of even more fighter jets."
"If we create a false target for the enemy to bombard, will that distract the enemy's focus?" Luo Zheng's eyes brightened as he looked at everyone.
The group nodded in understanding. Wu Jin caught on with excitent, "Is your suggestion about using the sa ans against ard helicopters to attract the enemy fighter jet's attention? That could work, but the enemy is not foolish. They will quickly air-drop troops to investigate. If they find nobody, they will use the explosion point to deduce our location for a concentrated search. Then fighter jets, drones, nurous paratroopers, and Special Forces will parachute down, conducting a grid search within specified areas. We won't be able to escape."
"In other words, the key lies in the size of this area. If we break past this zone, the enemy won't find us. With our current troop condition, we can only speed march fifty to sixty kiloters in a night. The enemy will surely calculate a hundred kiloters, maybe even more. Is that correct? But what if we're beyond two hundred kiloters?" Luo Zheng asked, with a serious tone, looking at everyone.
