Luo Zheng dared to confront Sam Country directly, even going head-to-head in formation, mainly because Sam Country's long-range missiles and fighter jets couldn't fly over Zhou Quan's other countries' airspace to participate in the battle. The base's rented carrier missiles were almost completely destroyed, and the remaining helicopters were not a concern, as Red Banner Six could counter them. Now, Sam Country directly gifted fighter jets to the host country, which was entirely different. Luo Zheng even suspected that the so-called gift was just an excuse, the real reason was to arrange fighter jets to participate in the battle, eliminating the hassle of crossing other countries' airspace after takeoff.
Hook naturally understood the logic behind this as well. Upon hearing this news, his face changed drastically, and he frowned in deep thought. Positioning oneself on the battlefield to fight is one thing; once the opponent has fighter jets, it's a completely different situation. The gap in strength imdiately widens, making the battle harder to fight. Thinking of this, Hook couldn't help but look at Luo Zheng and ask in a deep voice, "What's the plan next?"
Luo Zheng didn't imdiately think of a counterasure either. In the face of absolute strength, all tactics beco superficial but Luo Zheng didn't want to express this, in order to avoid affecting Hook's determination and confidence. He frowned and pondered for a mont, preparing to say sothing, when Lan Xue beside him suddenly said in a low voice, "If the enemy has fighter jets participating in the battle, and both sides are confronting each other here, will they send fighter jets over imdiately?"
"Yes, it's completely possible. The enemy was sneakily attacked by us overnight, suffering significant losses. If they want to break through the defenses from here, the best way is to directly deploy fighter jets," Hook said solemnly.
Luo Zheng also felt this likelihood was high. Turning to look at Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, and Mountain Eagle, Ghost Hand thoughtfully said, "It won't be long before the enemy attacks again. If we abandon the position, how can we stop the enemy's attack? If we don't abandon it, the enemy may mobilize fighter jets over here, and a single airborne bomb can level this place, unable to stop the enemy's advance. So, we must co up with a complete strategy, such as guerrilla warfare."
"Guerrilla warfare can inflict a certain level of damage on the enemy but cannot stop the enemy's advancing speed. The enemy can conquer the valley in a short ti, and once the valley is occupied, we can only hide in the dense forest, moreover unable to gather on a large scale, otherwise, we'll be hunted by fighter jets. This brings us back to our initial state when we just arrived. Furthermore, the dense forest is full of dangers and traps, and over ti, non-combat attrition increases, affecting morale and spirit," Mountain Eagle said deeply.
When everyone first arrived, the Hook Tribe faced the pressure of a large force, being forced to move everyone and fight the enemy by breaking up their forces, finally repelling the enemy's attack and reclaiming the valley. If they abandon it again, not only would Hook's reputation take a huge hit, but morale and spirit would suffer losses as well. Luo Zheng was well aware of this, pondering deeply.
They couldn't leave, nor could they stay; everyone was montarily stuck without a better solution. Seeing that no one could offer constructive opinions, Luo Zheng looked at Hook and said, "We can't lose the position."
"Alright, listening to you, how exactly should we proceed?" Hook also understood the importance of the position, agreeing and asking.
"Dig deep into the mountainsides on both flanks for air-raid shelters and Dark Fortresses; just fifty people need to be hidden there. But we must dig more trenches in front and behind the position, not too deep, mainly to confuse the enemy's fighter jets. The position doesn't need people to hide, with the fifty in the Dark Fortress, it's sufficient to resist the enemy's attack for a while. Other forces spread out in the surrounding dense forest, breaking up into smaller units, imdiately counter-attacking from all angles once the enemy initiates an attack, engaging in a battle with the enemy, rendering the enemy's fighter jets ineffective. What does everyone think?" Luo Zheng proposed in a serious tone.
"It can work." Everyone thought about it and felt there was no better option, so they agreed one by one.
Seeing everyone agree, Luo Zheng imdiately had Hook arrange for people to take action, digging air-raid shelters on the mountainsides on both sides of the canyon, digging trenches in front and behind the canyon positions to confound the enemy. The troops were mobilized again, and Luo Zheng contacted Lan Xing through the earpiece, asking him to keep a close watch on the enemy fighter jets.
The battle reached a critical stage, and everyone gave it their all for survival and victory. The digging progressed smoothly. Within an hour, more than a dozen trench lines appeared on the front lines. Since they weren't hiding people, just providing an outline, they weren't too deep; the Dark Fortresses on both sides of the mountainsides were still being dug.
Everyone took turns, and after about another hour, the Dark Fortresses were dug deep enough and reinforced with thick wood. At this ti, Lan Xing sent word that a fighter jet took off from a certain military airport with unclear intentions. Luo Zheng, being cautious, was about to ask everyone to disperse when those responsible for reconnaissance at the front sent word: Enemy ground forces started their advance. This ssage further confird Luo Zheng's judgnt, prompting him to leave a small team to hold the Dark Fortresses and quickly disperse the rest to hide in the surrounding dense forests.
The speed of fighter jets was terrifying, and everyone was ntally prepared. Upon receiving the order, the team quickly dispersed and rushed towards the surrounding dense forests. No one dared to stay. Luo Zheng also had his team break up into small units, each to hide, taking Lan Xue, Hook, and Wei Jian to swiftly enter the forest.
Everyone scattered and fled wildly, in groups of three to five. Minutes later, a piercing screech sounded in their ears. Without looking back, they knew it was the enemy fighter jet coming; everyone's facial expression changed, and they sped up their running pace, quickly shuttling through the woods, like leopards.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted, the entire space seed to collapse, ear-piercing and imnsely uncomfortable, the ground trembled, everyone fell to the ground or rolled behind surrounding big trees for cover, feeling a strong shockwave coming from behind them. The trees rustled, as if swept by a storm. Everyone held their heads, not daring to move, waiting for the shockwave to pass.
Luo Zheng didn't fall to the ground, but steadied himself against a big tree to prevent being knocked over, looking back in shock. He found countless trees bent by the shockwave, and many trees were flung straight into the air, terrifyingly flipping and crashing into the dense forest. He couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate; fortunately, there were many tall trees around blocking the way, or else they might have been killed by the shockwave.
In the sky, a fighter jet shrieked by, swooping over everyone's heads, turning around and flying back, dropping two air-to-ground missiles. The missiles roared toward the positions, as if a demon was raging in the void, looking terrifying, swiftly plumting to the ground, once again issuing an earth-shaking explosion sound.
Countless trees were flung into the air again, the forest was swayed by the shockwave once more to one side, seemingly about to break. With a chilly face, Luo Zheng remained silent, facing the enemy's terrifying combat power. This asymtrical battle was difficult to fight; beside him, Lan Xue urgently pulled Luo Zheng quickly behind a big tree to hide.
