"Everyone, don't worry. Though model airplane explosives are our nesis and there's no way around them, they're limited in number; once used a few tis, they'll run out. As long as we don't provoke Sam Country recently, it won't be a big problem," Lan Xue, seeing everyone's solemn expressions and worried about morale, quickly reminded them. As a veteran captain, Lan Xue's experience in command far exceeded that of Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng gave an embarrassed smile and said, "That's true, let's just enjoy the show."
As they spoke, another model airplane flew toward the side of an earth slope. The ambush soldiers under the slope couldn't bear the pressure anymore and suddenly burst out of their concealnt, howling as they charged forward toward the riverbank. Their forces quickly deployed; this was undoubtedly the best response strategy. However, Luo Zheng noticed that the model airplane didn't imdiately dive down to explode. It seed as if it was searching for sothing, then suddenly changed direction, diving at a particular person.
Luo Zheng raised his sniper scope in surprise and saw that it was attacking another Sniper. He couldn't help but sigh. Under such precise strikes, no one could escape unscathed. At that mont, the Minigun roared again, but the ambush soldiers were not weak; their bullets poured out in a dense barrage, fiercely sweeping across and filled with a relentless killing intent.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Countless land mines were detonated, limbs and flesh flew everywhere, the screams traveled far, but the ambush soldiers, as if injected with steroids, howled and continued their charge without showing any signs of fear or hesitation. Consequently, the forces of Sam Country couldn't bear the pressure and began to retreat.
Before long, the troops of Sam Country and Japan joined forces, covering each other as they retreated. Originally, there was a fifty-man ambush waiting on the retreat path, but they were unfortunately wiped out, unable to prevent the retreat of Sam Country and the Japanese soldiers. Luo Zheng silently lanted the missed opportunity. Suddenly, from the shrubs on the side of the retreating group, ca the sound of a sniper rifle.
"Whoosh!" The bullet whistled through the air, tearing through space and emitting a buzzing sonic boom, breaking the arm of the Black Man. The Minigun fell to the ground. The Black Man looked coldly at his shoulder, his arm severed completely, and suddenly scread out, his voice of agony echoing across the plains.
"It's a master," Luo Zheng said in surprise. "This guy could have taken a headshot with one bullet, but he deliberately injured the opponent. There's going to be a good show."
"Did you see clearly? Where is the Sniper hiding?" Lan Xue asked in surprise.
The shot just now was too sudden. No one had expected there to be a Sniper concealed in the direction of retreat. The trap set by Sam Country was very perfect, but it overlooked one thing—that is the true strength of the enemy. The Japanese soldiers served as bait, the Minigun ambushed, and everything was executed perfectly, but ignorance of the enemy's capabilities ant their own were killed by the Sniper.
Although they later used model airplanes carrying explosives to kill two snipers from the ambush, the ambushing troops had launched a charge and were ferociously fearless. This caught Sam Country completely by surprise. Their lines beca disordered, their retreat plan was not comprehensive enough, failing to account for a Sniper hidden behind them. In the end, they had underestimated the enemy and beca complacent.
"The Sniper is hidden deep in the bushes, so well concealed that even the hummingbirds can't spot them. The previous shot didn't have muzzle flash, so I couldn't pinpoint the exact location, only a rough estimate. It seems Sam Country is also unaware of the Sniper's hiding place. Now Sam Country is in trouble. If they don't retreat, the ambush troops have already broken through; retreat would an exposure, especially since there's one injured. Unless they abandon them, there will have to be sacrifices," Zhou Quan comnted.
"Roar, roar!" The sound of an engine starting up rang out. From the dense bushes, an all-terrain vehicle suddenly burst forth, performing a beautiful drift to stop beside the Black Man. The Black Man, gritting his teeth, climbed aboard. The Sniper, seeing such a good opportunity, held back from taking a shot, obviously a master of restraint.
"Could it be that he only shot to wound?" Lan Xue muttered in disbelief.
On the battlefield, Sam Country and the Japanese pirates retreated left and right, protecting the all-terrain vehicle as they fled, continuously firing at the approaching ambushers. The combination of traps and dense gunfire ant the ambushers were having a hard ti following. At this mont, on the all-terrain vehicle, the Black Man who had his arm blown off controlled the Minigun with one hand and began to fire again, his expression ferocious and his eyes filled with rage.
"He's quite a tough guy," Luo Zheng said admiringly.
"Whoosh!" Another sniper rifle shot rang out, and the Black Man's other arm was also blown off. The Minigun fell to the ground, and the Black Man, in pain, blacked out and fainted on the vehicle. Soone ca over to check on him, but quickly chose to continue firing at the pursuers behind them, accelerating the retreat.
"What a sha, he might have lived if he hadn't fired," Snow Leopard lanted.
Luo Zheng didn't speak; he always found that sniper very strange. Why only wound? Usually, snipers would aim straight for the head or at the very least the heart, but why target the arms? After thinking it through, he said, "This is a cruel sniper, and it's terrifying to encounter such a person on the battlefield. We'd better not run into him."
"Sam Country is retreating," Lan Xue said.
Luo Zheng looked and saw that both Sam Country and the Japanese pirates quickly jumped onto the all-terrain vehicles and retreated rapidly, soon leaving the battlefield. Then, the ambushers cleaned up the battlefield, took their comrades' bodies, and left, while Luo Zheng kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the sniper. Before long, he saw a Sniper wearing a camouflage suit appear and retreat together with the ambushers.
The riverside suddenly beca quiet, as if nothing had happened, and the faces of Luo Zheng and the others were solemn. No one spoke, as the recent battle had stunned everyone. Sam Country and the Japanese pirates, together with two other teams' assistance, engaged in continuous hunting and counter-hunting, but ultimately had to retreat. Although the ambushers suffered heavy casualties, Sam Country and the Japanese suffered injuries as well, leading to a dire situation.
"Such strong firepower, sophisticated tactics, but still outsmarted by the ambushers. It's indeed strange they were negligent, underestimating their opponent's strength. The key to this battle was the Minigun, this heavy firepower. If the ambushers didn't have a sniper, the first person operating the Minigun wouldn't have died, and the result would have been completely different. Without that sniper later on, the Black Man would not have died, and the outco would still be different. What a pity, they underestimated their enemy too much," Luo Zheng mused.
"Indeed," Lan Xue said coldly, "the whole battle revolved around the struggle for the Minigun. With the Minigun's fierce firepower, Sam Country could block all attacks, yet they were sniped from a distance and their entire strategy collapsed. If it were us, we wouldn't set up such a scenario, relying on firepower. This is a difference in combat philosophy. Sam Country believes only in the supremacy of weapons, and they deserved their defeat." As she spoke, she was boosting everyone's morale.
"That's true. Whether it's hummingbird reconnaissance or model airplane bombing, their high-tech thods are endless, but they have too much faith in the doctrine of victory through superior weapons. So, what do we do next?" Ghost Hand asked.
Everyone turned to look at Luo Zheng, realizing from this intense episode that all of Luo Zheng's analysis was correct. Their reliance on Luo Zheng had obviously increased, and their eyes revealed a look of expectation.
