Chapter 565: Lonely Palms Are Hard to Sing
Probably because they believed too much in their own team, the mercenaries who besieged Xia Zhenyang did not set up a defense behind them to prevent someone from copying their back road from behind. Therefore, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong sneaked twenty meters away from them, but they still didn't realize that two enemies had emerged behind them.
But Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong didn't dare to get too close, the other party's firepower was indeed very fierce, mainly due to the large number of people. They didn't dare to act rashly until they figured out how many people were on the other side.
"One, two, and three ......" two people hid in the bushes, counting the number of people one by one according to the tracer bullets fired from the muzzle of the opponent's gun, and by the way, observing the location of the opponent's personnel and observing who the opponent's commander was.
The two of them could only see the enemy in front of them, listening to the gunshots, it was obvious that Xia Zhenyang and the others had been completely surrounded. Now that he has given up his plan to break through, he is desperately resisting, wanting to drag Chen Yu and others to come to the rescue. The number of enemies in the other three directions is unknown, only facing Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, and in less than half a minute, the two have already counted thirteen or fourteen people.
Cheng Zhichao gasped: "There are already more than a dozen people in one direction, and there must be fifty or sixty people in the four directions combined?" With only five people, they can resist the attack of fifty or sixty people, and they have not been eliminated until now, and I don't know if Lao Xia has strong combat effectiveness or luck. ”
Without further ado, Cheng Zhichao was about to talk to Zhao Jiyong, ready to hit the other party by surprise, disrupting the formation here, and when Xia Zhenyang and others retreated, he suddenly found that a person not far from him seemed to have received some news from the communication equipment, and then saw that under his command, five or six people stopped attacking Xia Zhenyang and others. He turned around as if to defend behind him.
"Oh no, they're on guard."
Cheng Zhichao didn't have time to think about whether Chen Yu's side had eliminated the enemy, and the enemy reported to this side before he died, or whether another group of people chased him and Zhao Jiyong, and found those corpses, which felt bad. Immediately reported the news to this side, so the other party took contingency measures. In short, if they are allowed to calmly arm, it will be very detrimental to themselves. If they want to meet Xia Zhenyang, they must attack under the fierce firepower of the other party, and in that case, this battle will be no longer sure at all.
"Before they finish arming, rush over." Zhao Jiyong also noticed the movement of those people, and said as he spoke. Two grenades were taken out on one side.
When they set off, each of them carried four grenades, and when they checked the equipment, many people did not think that this thing was really of much use in the jungle. But after the breakthrough incident, both Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have a new understanding of this thing.
In the midst of jungle warfare. It is true that the power of the grenade is not as great as that of other environments. But after all, this thing has a psychological deterrent to people, and if it is used well, it can completely exert a strange effect that other weapons can't play.
Cheng Zhichao also took out his only two remaining grenades, and the two of them did not make an appointment, so they threw the grenades out of their own way. The distance of twenty meters is not a matter at all in normal times. But in the dense forest, no one dares to guarantee that it will not be bounced back. But as long as one or two can be thrown into the opposing crowd, the purpose will be achieved.
Their purpose is not to destroy each other, but to cause chaos on each other. In this way, Xia Zhenyang and they can fish in mixed waters.
Of the four grenades, two hit the target and exploded at a distance of three or four meters from the enemy, the other two were bounced off by a tree branch, and one exploded even in the air. The mercenaries didn't expect the people behind them to be so fast, and they used grenades unreasonably, and their formations were suddenly chaotic, and they hurriedly fell to the ground to hide near the explosion point.
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong took this opportunity to shoot in the bushes to change places, constantly wandering, attracting enemy firepower, but also making them unclear where they were.
It can be said that their thinking is good, but those mercenaries are not vegetarians, but anyone who can be absorbed by the mercenary organization is basically a veteran oil with a skill. Some of them are even retired personnel of foreign special forces organizations, who have extremely rich combat experience, and after a short period of panic, they quickly stabilized their positions again. At the same time, judging by the sound of gunfire, the number of people supporting them was not large, at most two or three people, and as long as a small number of people were separated to fight with them, they could be dragged down.
The cooperation between these people is also very tacit, those who are ready to deploy at the moment temporarily give up the deployment task, and instead shoot with Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, while the others increase their firepower, wanting to eliminate Xia Zhenyang and others first, and then turn around and retreat after cleaning up Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong.
They had received the news that in their rear, the squad of veterans had broken through the defensive line they had set up and joined the rookie team of the second echelon. As soon as the two teams met, their own side was obviously unable to resist, and they had switched from offense to defense, trying to buy time for them as much as possible. But he was not optimistic, if he couldn't quickly solve these Chinese soldiers, when the comrades behind him were wiped out, and two groups of Chinese soldiers rushed up to respond, even they would have to suffer a big loss.
The commander of the operation was an Israeli, a country of all soldiers, a small country that is one of the most warlike countries in the world, and Israel's special forces are a very tenacious team. He once raided a Ugandan airport for more than 3,000 kilometers, rescued more than 100 hostages and killed several hijackers, all in less than an hour.
This commander is a veteran of the Israeli special forces, who was forced to join the mercenary organization due to family reasons, and quickly grew into a commander of the mercenary organization. When he received the news from the rear, he already felt that something was wrong.
The last time I exchanged fire with the third team, because the third team did not know the existence of their group, and was dragged down by the government army, they suffered a big loss. So in the hearts of the mercenaries, there is a feeling that "the Chinese special forces are nothing more than that". This time, after the third team and the first team entered, they quickly attracted their attention, but at the beginning. They did not know the purpose of the group of Chinese soldiers entering the country again, so they did not act rashly, but only sent people to secretly monitor them.
When the stalkers were discovered, they were pulled back in order not to cause unnecessary fighting. To be honest, the last time I basically wiped out the three-point team. But they also suffered a big loss, killing and wounding dozens of people, and they did not recover for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that dozens of people had been sent organizationally, I am afraid that they had not fully recovered by now. Therefore, although he still despises the Chinese special forces in his bones, if he can avoid a head-on conflict with them, try not to clash with them head-on, so as not to make everyone uncomfortable.
In fact, the fact that the old third division buried the corpses when they retreated did not hide it from their eyes. And afterwards they also dug up the bodies, only to bury them again later, and marked them, if someone came to dig up these two bodies, they would definitely know that they already knew that there were two bodies of Chinese soldiers here.
The reason why they did not dig up and transport the bodies away was because they also knew that the Chinese soldiers would definitely not let these bodies be buried in a foreign land. I have to say. Although they are Westerners, they have a thorough understanding of Eastern culture. I know that in Oriental culture, there is a saying that "fallen leaves return to their roots". When the Chinese soldiers have their hands freed, they will definitely send someone to transport the two bodies back to China.
The immobility of the two corpses was actually a signal of goodwill, and they figured out this move and sued the Chinese side. They also deeply regretted the last exchange of fire due to a misunderstanding. And through this move, he tactfully told the Chinese side that they did not want to have friction with the Chinese army.
If Cheng Zhichao and others act this time, it is only to transport the body back to China. Then they won't interfere. And according to the route of the Chinese soldiers, it can be inferred that their destination should be the place where the two bodies were buried. From this point of view, the target of these two groups of Chinese soldiers is these two corpses. However, they did not dare to take it lightly, and still set up an ambush circle in front of them, and sent their most experienced fighters to follow the movements of the Chinese soldiers.
It turns out that they underestimated the Chinese's vindictiveness and overestimated the Chinese's ability to observe in the early days. Their marks were not noticed at all, and before the bodies were dug up, the third team had already divided into two groups and continued to move forward. After the body was dug up, in addition to the few Chinese who carried the body back, the other combat detachment also followed closely and marched towards the hinterland.
The commander was furious, obviously he had already sent a signal of goodwill, but these Chinese soldiers were still endlessly looking for trouble for themselves, did they really think they were soft persimmons? After emergency measures, everyone thought that they should give the Chinese a little more power to let them know that they are not easy to mess with.
According to the formation of the Chinese, they also made corresponding countermeasures: send people to drag the two echelons behind, concentrate the superior forces first, and eat the few people in front. Then they pushed back together, and wiped out all three groups of Chinese one by one.
According to the intelligence, the complete Chinese detachment at the back should be the most combat-effective veteran detachment among the three groups, so the troops sent are also the most elite, and they do not seek to eliminate them, as long as they can be dragged down. After the other two groups were eliminated, the three forces gathered together, even if the Chinese were all veterans, it was impossible to resist. According to the experience gained from the last battle, the Chinese's level of jungle warfare is somewhat inferior to theirs, and they are completely capable of achieving their combat objectives. Although in this way, the side will have to suffer a lot of losses, but in exchange for the retreat of the Chinese soldiers, this kind of loss is worth it.
But they forgot one point, that is, the last time the Chinese did not know their existence at all, not only the Chinese did not know, but even the government army did not know, so they suffered such a big loss under the sneak attack of their superior forces. And this time, the Chinese are guarded, and even the new members of the third team are simply a bait, specially fishing for them. And the detachment that followed them was the real hunter.
The second detachment, under the leadership of Cheng Yanming, was obviously out of touch with Chen Yu, so the mercenaries did not know at all that the cunning Chinese and the third echelon.
They had a precise grasp of the speed at which the Chinese were moving, and the battle began almost at the same time. As soon as the fight began, the mercenaries felt that something was wrong. After being attacked by them, the Chinese not only did not rush to break through. Instead, they formed a formation on the spot and resisted desperately. In terms of numbers, they are several times more numerous than each other. However, they did not have the glorious tradition of blowing the trumpet of the charge and fighting the enemy hand-to-hand after firing three shots, so they could only advance step by step.
As a result, the battle was immediately stalemate, and Xia Zhenyang and the others certainly couldn't break through. But it is not easy for them to solve these Chinese who are sticking to the place. Although Xia Zhenyang and the others are five people, the number of people is very different. But among these five people, Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu are both veterans of the special forces, and although Lu Zhuo is a newcomer, he is also an old man in the Marine Corps special operations team. As for Qiao Wei and Fan Yuesheng, these two people are only worse than Fan Yuesheng, and Qiao Wei is also a veteran of the special brigade. These five people can be said to be the strongest of the two echelons of the third team. It's not easy to break through. But if you want to hold on for a while, there's no problem.
Originally, in the battle plan, their task was to retreat after seeing the enemy. But Xia Zhenyang knows that in the actual implementation, there may be changes. Therefore, I was ready to be besieged for a long time. Due to thorough preparation, except for Qiao Yu, Fan Yuesheng and Lei Qiyu, who were slightly injured, Xia Zhenyang and Lu Zhuo were unharmed. The wounded did not lose their combat effectiveness and gritted their teeth. actually persevered until Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's support was in place.
Xia Zhenyang was in the encirclement and didn't know the situation outside at all. But there is also a pair of ears. After hearing a few explosions, gunshots suddenly rang out on the periphery, and I couldn't help but perk up: "Haha, our reinforcements are coming, comrades, grit your teeth and hold on for a while." As long as Team Chen, they will open the way. Let's break through. ”
Needless to say, the others also heard the movement outside, and their hearts were full of hope, and while persevering, they hoped that Chen Yu could open the passage as soon as possible.
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong outside were very anxious. There are only two of them, Zhao Jiyong is still injured, and he wants to pick Xia Zhenyang out, but the firepower is obviously insufficient. The only thing that can be done is to attract part of the opponent's firepower and slightly relieve the pressure on Xia Zhenyang's side.
Zhao Jiyong's wound collapsed again during the battle, and blood began to seep out. But now I can't deal with it, I collided with Cheng Zhichao in the forest, and fired two shots when I seized the opportunity. While wrestling with each other, he secretly cursed bad luck. When I was a child, I read extracurricular books, which told the story of the lonely hero Yanlong, who could touch behind enemy lines, shoot behind the enemy, fire more than 120 rounds, and kill more than 50 enemies, but he himself was unharmed. Why isn't that the case when it's your turn? Obviously, I felt behind the enemy.
Since the beginning of the confrontation with the enemy, he has fired more than 30 rounds, but he has not even hit a single enemy. Not only did he not hit the enemy, but on two occasions he was almost hit by the enemy's bullets, one of which flew past his cheeks, and if he had missed any more, half of his head would have been opened.
He had a wound in his stomach, Cheng Zhichao didn't dare to get too far away from him, seeing him scolding while shooting, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and wanted to remind him to concentrate a little. Suddenly, I felt the figure on the left side of my body swaying. Shocked, he hurriedly pulled Zhao Jiyong down, and just wanted to raise his shot, only to hear two crisp shots around him, and the figure fell to the ground.
"Damn, you're not dead this time." Zhao Jiyong laughed. It turned out that this benevolent brother was pulled down by Cheng Zhichao at the same time, and he was able to raise his gun to shoot in an extremely difficult situation, knocking the other party to the ground in one fell swoop.
After playing for so long, it finally opened, Zhao Jiyong was really excited in his heart, and couldn't help laughing. When Cheng Zhichao heard him laugh so unscrupulously, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly kicked him more than two meters away, and rolled out two or three meters on the spot.
Just rolled away, I saw the fire flashing in the forest, after a burst of gunshots, the place where he and Zhao Jiyong were just now was hit by bullets and burst into flames, dead leaves and rotten leaves flew in all directions, the nearest bullet was less than half a meter away from him, and the flying clods of soil hit his face with a faint pain. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, as soon as Zhao Jiyong laughed, he was kicked away, and at the same time he quickly dodged it, otherwise it would be a one-for-two ending, and it would be a big loss.
"This rammer!" Cheng Zhichao scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to stay in place. Hurriedly jumped around and avoided a few more positions, and fired two shots at the place where the fire had just sounded. Regardless of whether he hit anyone or not, he immediately changed his position, crawled to Zhao Jiyong's side, pulled him to hide behind a big tree, and after changing a magazine, he glared at Zhao Jiyong fiercely.
Zhao Jiyong was also frightened, knowing that he had made a mistake, he stuck out his tongue and changed a magazine, he was still very excited in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Xia Zhenyang and the others in the encirclement were still resisting desperately with hope, but the two of them were obviously not far from them, but they couldn't rush over to meet them, Cheng Zhichao wiped a handful of sweat and sighed in his heart. He is not like Zhao Jiyong, who is heartless and heartless, he is happy to be like that when he kills an enemy, he can't save Xia Zhenyang, even if he kills more enemies, it is useless. After sighing, Young Master Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart. (To be continued......)
