The situation had suddenly changed, and Luo Zheng began to feel uneasy. Fortunately, Lan Xue sent a ssage that everything was fine for the ti being, which sowhat relieved Luo Zheng. However, facing the complex situation, Luo Zheng did not know what to do. After so thought, he asked, "How many enemies are there specifically, and when will they arrive?"
"The number is around five hundred, but they can't all be Special Forces; there should be so regular soldiers mixed in. The specifics are unclear; you're on your own now," Captain Wu said seriously. "The Northwest Group Army has sent four Special Forces teams to support you; they should arrive by tomorrow at the latest. Tell your difficulties, and I will support you as much as I can."
"We've managed to capture so equipnt and ammunition, which should be enough for now, but we are too few in number. How many people are in those four Special Forces teams? Including my Ghost Team, it's barely thirty people. Facing an enemy nearly twenty tis our number, and with unclear enemy intelligence, I am not confident about this battle," Luo Zheng analyzed worriedly.
"I understand the situation, but your location is very close to Arctic Bear Country. They can send troops at any ti. If we deploy a large force, they will definitely know, and it might lead to a local war, which no one wants to see. As long as we don't deploy a large force, they won't increase their troops either. This is an unspoken international rule," Captain Wu explained.
"They are in the wrong. Can't this be resolved through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Luo Zheng asked, surprised.
"You must rember, there's no justice in war between countries. There's no discussion of who is in the wrong. The victor is king, the loser the outlaw. Moreover, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already lodged a protest, but the other side outright denies everything, claiming that those who attacked you are bandits roving around Kanda Prairie, completely unrelated to them. Kanda Prairie is your current location," Captain Wu explained.
"These bastards, it looks like we have no choice but to fight," Luo Zheng roared angrily.
"Yes, Kanda Prairie is a sensitive area uncontrolled by any country. If we operate under the guise of suppressing bandits, it will provoke other nations, and carelessness could lead to a local war. According to intelligence, Arctic Bear Country has amassed a significant force there, and they are prepared. As soon as there are signs of us sending troops, they will strike first, which is not to your advantage. The chairman has considered this and instructed the Northwest Group Army to prepare for a major conflict, but we still hope to resolve this with a small-scale fight," Captain Wu explained indignantly.
"Got it," Luo Zheng said, troubled. "Tell the support teams to bring more weapons and preferably rocket launchers because who knows if those old Russians will deploy ard helicopters to attack us."
"I've considered that and have made arrangents. Don't worry; keep in contact at all tis. Rember, your task is to quickly disengage from the enemy and retreat as soon as possible, not to entangle with them. Rember, head south, don't run east into the territory of Arctic Bear Country," Captain Wu cautioned seriously.
"Understood," Luo Zheng agreed, ending the call. After hanging up, Luo Zheng fell into deep thought. The enemy was pressing hard, determined to succeed, probably not just for the docunts. The enemy must have anticipated the destruction of the docunts, dispatching so many people; there might be unknown factors involved.
"Brother, what's happened?" Shan Hu asked from not far away.
"This ti, it might be big trouble. Haven't you guys felt that the enemies ahead, including those who ambushed you earlier, are sort of unusual?" Luo Zheng said with a wry smile, his stern gaze continuing to search the area through the sniper scope. The battle wasn't over; he absolutely couldn't relax his vigilance.
"Unusual?" Shan Hu pondered for a mont and said, "Nothing unusual really. If I had to say, it felt like the ambush was carried out by two squads, one strong and the other weak, as if a seasoned team was leading a new team for training. What's going on?"
Luo Zheng also had so insights after hearing what Shan Hu said, and with a wry smile replied, "Don't know what's happening, but the enemy has sent about five hundred people to encircle us. We've beco quite the hot target."
"Five hundred people?" Shan Hu's face turned pale, and turning to Luo Zheng, a worried expression erged on his cold face. After a mont's thought, he said, "Just a few of us can't stop an attack by more than five hundred people. Give your phone, I need to ask for instructions from higher-ups. We can die in battle, but the docunts can't be lost. If possible, destroy them imdiately."
"No need to ask for instructions, the higher-ups have already clarified this point. But it's not yet a critical mont. The Northwest Group Army has sent four Special Forces detachnts to support us; they'll arrive by tomorrow at the latest," Luo Zheng said with a grave expression, looking up at the sky and continuing worriedly, "We need to retreat imdiately, heading south. We can't wait here; it's too dangerous."
"I agree," Shan Hu also recognized the danger of just waiting. Once more than five hundred people converged, no one could escape. With the enemy on the east, heading south was the ideal option. Shan Hu pondered for a mont before frowning and asking, "South is good, but the enemy will probably have anticipated that and might already have a large force waiting."
"There's no better option. North and west are impossible. Not only would we move further away, but we would also end up in neighboring countries' hands, which is absolutely unacceptable. Heading south will allow us to return to our country quickly. Moreover, this case has already attracted the attention of many countries, turning a minor pursuit of a Special Agent into an international major incident. We can't afford to lose; we are soldiers, and neither we nor our nation can afford to lose face," Luo Zheng cautioned seriously.
"Has it beco that serious?" Surprise filled Shan Hu's face, but knowing that Luo Zheng wouldn't joke about such matters, his expression turned stern, and he quickly responded, "Alright, I agree with your decision. What's next?" As he spoke, he looked ahead at the snowfield where many enemies lay hidden. Shan Hu glared fiercely, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.
"Eat right now, and we move in three minutes. Zhu Zi, help Brother Shan Hu walk. I'll cover the rear. Brothers on the left, move out from the north quickly, and be careful not to alert the enemies ahead. Brothers on the right, cover from the south," Luo Zheng instructed calmly.
"Alright," Shan Hu, seeing that Luo Zheng's plans aligned with his thoughts, didn't hesitate any longer. He pulled out compressed biscuits, eating them with snow, the bitter coldness in his eyes sweeping back and forth across the snowfield, highly alert. Luo Zheng also quickly ate; the previous battle had drained much of his energy, and with the cold freezing temperatures, his stomach had long been empty, desperately needing food for warmth.
The blizzard blinded their eyes, the war chilled their hearts, and the icy world of snow harbored a suffocating threat. Luo Zheng, while eating the compressed biscuits, looked ahead, his cold, sharp, chilling murderous intent like a sharp sword, pondering the retreat plan at high speed. The enemy was too strong; any slight carelessness could lead to death, an irreversible calamity.
