Snow Leopard heard Ghost Hand's words and guessed sothing. He looked around suspiciously, noticing that the brothers were preparing for battle, and a few were outside taking higher ground to monitor the surroundings. Indeed, a few people were missing. Snow Leopard was elated, stared at Ghost Hand, and said, "Hurry up and tell , what the hell are you trying to say? I don't have the ti for this. The enemy could attack at any mont. Just say it, so I can die with so peace of mind."
"Outside, the combined police and military forces are at least eight thousand to ten thousand. There's no way to hide. The only ones missing are our younger brother and the captain, and there's only one explanation for our younger brother acting alone, not being here. He broke through because there's nowhere to hide. The captain and his three fellows are also missing. What does that indicate?" Ghost Hand explained coldly.
"Who the hell knows what that indicates? They might have been captured already," Snow Leopard replied dissatisfiedly.
"Why can't you use your brain a bit? You're usually so clever," Ghost Hand chided, annoyed. "The two groups both have one thing in common: they all hold open, legal identifications. I bet they used those docunts to slip through unnoticed, and they're safe now."
"Yeah, why didn't that occur to ? Hahaha," Snow Bear suddenly realized with excitent and laughed loudly. "Then there's nothing to worry about. Even if we die, there's soone to avenge us. Screw it, you're useful too, kid. You command, tell us how to fight?"
"Fight, that's all you know. Calm the hell down," Ghost Hand scolded, seeing Snow Leopard was about to protest. He glared at Snow Leopard and shouted, "Niu Gang, Shi Tao, co over and watch. Everyone open your signaler Bluetooth, tune to the public communication channel. If anyone sees the enemy infiltrating, those on guard outside, no need to ask, just open fire."
"Yes," everyone replied, turning on their signaler Bluetooth. In this way, they could hear each other through their earpieces.
Niu Gang and Shi Tao ran over hurriedly from outside. Snow Leopard, dissatisfied, said, "The enemy could attack at any mont. Why are we holding a eting now? Just tell us how to fight. We'll die anyway."
"Don't ss around. Calm down," Ghost Hand glared at Snow Leopard and scolded. Seeing Niu Gang and Shi Tao had arrived, he spoke seriously, "I am now taking over field command. Anyone have objections?"
"No," Niu Gang and Shi Tao quickly said.
"Good. Brothers, we are now in a dire situation. None of us can say if we'll survive, but the chances are slim. You all see the nearly ten thousand outside, and we're just a dozen. The chance of breaking through is almost zero. The enemy forced us here deliberately. They clearly don't care about casualties among the locals, and they will attack without hesitation. They are likely making final preparations for a major assault." Ghost Hand spoke seriously, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Just skip the useless talk and say how to fight," Snow Leopard interrupted.
"Yeah, none of us fear death. No matter how many they are, the terrain here is complicated. We can set up a showdown. Even if we die, it will be worth it," Niu Gang said indifferently.
"Quiet, listen to ," Ghost Hand interrupted Shi Tao, who was about to speak, and said seriously, "Fighting is a given. We cannot surrender easily, but we have to consider our retreat. Have you forgotten Ghost's orders?"
"You can't be thinking of surrendering, right?" Snow Leopard asked, surprised, looking at Ghost Hand.
"If you ntion surrender again, we're done," Ghost Hand snapped back.
"Exactly. Knowing you, surrender isn't your style. So why are you bringing this up? Just nonsense," Snow Leopard retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Would you bear to see all our brothers perish here? Have you forgotten Ghost's orders? Death is not frightening. The brothers are all brave, and no one fears death. But isn't it better to preserve ourselves for future use?" Ghost Hand's expression suddenly changed, staring at Snow Leopard, and questioned.
"Can you live if captured?" Shi Tao asked, surprised.
"Yes," Ghost Hand replied defiantly, filled with confidence. Seeing Shi Tao and Niu Gang's skeptical faces, he continued, "Brothers, do you trust Ghost?"
"Of course, if he's not trustworthy, no one is," Niu Gang retorted indignantly.
"I trust him," Shi Tao imdiately echoed.
At this mont, Snow Leopard cald down, realizing Ghost Hand's careful intentions, forced a bitter smile, and said, "Brothers, I can affirmatively tell you so good news. Two vice-squad leaders and three assisting brothers are fine. They evaded the search, know we were captured, and will surely co back to rescue us. I swear on my life."
"We all trust them, but are you sure the deputy squad leaders escaped?" Niu Gang questioned skeptically.
"I'm sure. They both have publicly acknowledged diplomatic staff identities. With these, they can easily escape. If their identities were exposed, the enemy wouldn't let us attack the special train, but would imdiately apprehend us. This ans their official identities haven't been revealed," Ghost Hand explained.
"Got it. So what's next?" Niu Gang asked, convinced.
"Outside, there's the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group, the strongest force in Sam Country's military, and there's a considerable number of them, along with a regular army and many police. We all know this. If I'm not mistaken, they will have the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group initiate the attack, with the regular army behind them, and the major offensive will begin soon," Ghost Hand said with a stern expression.
"We all know this. What's your plan?" Snow Leopard urged.
"My plan is simple: hit these bastards hard, teach them a lesson, then break out and surrender to the police. These bastards won't accept our surrender. Surrendering to them is suicide. We've killed many military personnel. They are angry and won't accept a surrender. But the police are different. If you surrender to the police, the military won't fire indiscriminately at us," Ghost Hand said coldly.
"What, surrender?" Niu Gang looked at Ghost Hand, surprised.
"Would you watch all our brothers sacrifice themselves?" Ghost Hand countered, coldly looking at Niu Gang, then Shi Tao, his gaze sharpening. "First f*** them over, then surrender, and wait for Ghost to rescue us. Save ourselves for future reckoning with those bastards. This is Ghost's final order to us, and I am the highest commander here now. This is my final decision. I'll take the fall if anything happens. Anyone have objections?"
For soldiers, obeying orders is a sacred duty. Even if their hearts are full of discontent, they must follow orders. Ghost Hand understood everyone's feelings well, but thinking of Luo Zheng's last command and the horrific thought of all the brothers dying here, Ghost Hand's resolve was steely, determined to leave them a chance of survival, however slim, even if it required enforcing orders.
