Chapter 562: Sudden Hardship
After getting along for such a long time, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have always been very good, except for the shooting in the middle of the stream, they are top-notch in other aspects. Moreover, in the routine combat training, the combat effectiveness of these two cousins has already made everyone overwhelmed, and there is not much objection to Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu arranging for the two of them to lead the second echelon.
Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu were relieved to boldly take Lu Zhuo, Fan Yuesheng and Qiao Wei in front of the head. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong led the others to follow, and more than a dozen people in the two echelons added twelve points of caution, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In fact, although the road is also difficult to walk, relatively speaking, it is still a relatively gentle area, so it is difficult to walk, and everyone gritted their teeth and survived. But moving forward, it's different. Not only is the terrain more and more complex, but even the vegetation is becoming denser, and if you observe it during the day, you can see that the leaves and weeds of the entire forest show a dark green and thick green, and no sunlight can penetrate at all. The rotting leaves on the ground are also getting thicker, and the rain has eroded over the years, forming a foul-smelling soft mud. It's night, and it's even harder to walk.
Xia Zhenyang was afraid that Cheng Zhichao would come to this kind of place for the first time, and they didn't know how to pay attention, and an accident happened, so after walking here, he specially sent Lu Zhuo over to remind them to pay attention to their feet, this kind of environment is easy to appear swampy, don't fall into it. In addition, we should also be careful of poisonous insects, and at the same time, we must be vigilant, in a word, cheer up, don't have accidents. As long as you can get to the place where the last firefight was last time, you can complete the mission.
Cheng Zhichao was moved in his heart, although Xu Yunfu and Cheng Yanming were not kind, led them to such a ghost place to perform the so-called task, and shamelessly deceived them in advance, but the squad leader and big brother were still sympathetic to his subordinates.
But in his opinion. It's not too likely that something will go wrong, it's been too long for those mercenaries to stay in a place like this where even large wild animals can't survive for so long, maybe they'll have already completed their mission and retreated. As for the morning spotting someone watching, maybe someone from the local government army noticed that they had entered their own area, so they sent someone to take a look. As soon as he saw that there were many powerful people on his side, and he didn't seem to have any ill will towards them, he simply didn't have more than one thing.
Just as he was getting more and more relaxed, he suddenly heard several dull noises in front of him. If ordinary people listen to this sound, they may not be able to react for a while. But Cheng Zhichao is very familiar with this movement - the sound of gunfire is definitely the sound of gunfire, and it is the sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle, and only the movement of this large-caliber sniper rifle can spread so far in such a dense jungle.
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong felt their hair tighten for a while: "I'm damned." Is it really on fire? β
A few shots were fired, followed by a few more shots. Cheng Zhichao didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered the communication soldiers to get in touch with Chen Yu, and the others followed to see what was going on.
The distance between Xia Zhenyang and them is only less than a kilometer, and the road in front of them has been opened by them, if Cheng Zhichao and the others speed up, I believe that they will be able to arrive at the scene within three or five minutes.
The crowd prayed secretly as they ran, hoping that it was just a false alarm. The other party is just a small armed man who has accidentally encountered a weak combat force, not those mercenaries who fought against the old third division.
Just ran less than a hundred meters. Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the forest beside him, and Cheng Zhichao's heart was like lightning, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Lie down!" After finishing speaking, regardless of whether other people reacted or not, a fish jumped, and a very chic mouth came to the mouth and quickly lay down like gnawing mud.
His voice still had an effect. When the others heard him cry and lay down, they instinctively fell to the ground quickly, although they didn't know what was happening. At the same time as they were lying down, a rapid burst of shooting suddenly sounded in the forest next to them, and it was difficult to tell how many people there were on the other side from the sound. However, the dense rain of bullets hit them like raindrops, dirt and sawdust flew wildly, and the signal soldier's reaction was a little slower, and he was shot in the shoulder, the bullet entered from the front shoulder, and the back flew out, and a puddle of blood shot out, spraying Zhao Jiyong, who was closest to him, all over his face.
Zhao Jiyong didn't care about wiping it, hurriedly reached out and dragged him to his side, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the face a few times, and shouted loudly: "How are you, dead or not?" β
The person was not dead, this shot did not hit the fatal position, the distance was so close, the bullet did not even have time to roll in the body before it passed out, a typical penetrating wound, not even the bones were injured. However, the signal soldier was almost fainted by this shot, and moved his lips, wanting to answer Zhao Jiyong's words, but he couldn't even use this little strength.
"." Zhao Jiyong didn't know if he was scolding or scolding the person who attacked him, so he hurriedly took out the first aid kit, bandaged his wound briefly, and then picked up the gun, lay on the ground, and shot at the place where the gun rang out.
His shot was fast enough, but it was the slowest one, and after his several long point shots were finished, Cheng Zhichao had already changed a magazine, and the bullets in the second magazine had already been shot out by a third. The two sides exchanged fire for a while, and there were no more casualties. At this time, Cheng Zhichao and they had recovered from the hectic state of the initial attack, and quickly organized a counterattack, all the tactics were practiced countless times in the training process in the past, at this time, as long as they took it out according to the gourd and used it, they came over in a short panic, and gradually stabilized their position, and played decently.
The number of people on the other side is obviously more than them, and it is ambushed in advance, there are people on the left and right sides, forming a crossfire, and it is not easy for Cheng Zhichao and them to eliminate the other party in the short term. What frightened them the most was that from behind them, there seemed to be gunfire coming from behind. Needless to say, someone must have exchanged fire with Chen Yu and them.
Cheng Zhichao was secretly shocked: "How many fucking people are there?" We were divided into three echelons, and we were actually in a group with three groups. β
At this time, he no longer has a fluke mentality, and he will not be naΓ―ve to think that it is the government army personnel who are watching in the morning, and he can feel it without intuition, this group of people is the mercenary who fought with the third team last time. It's just that I don't know if it was because the third division caused them quite a lot of casualties last time, and this time the number of their own side has nearly doubled, Cheng Zhichao feels that the firepower on the opposite side is not as terrifying as the legend says. For example, in the state of sneak attack. But he only seriously injured them as a rookie, and had to make Cheng Zhichao contempt for their combat effectiveness.
The gunshots in front and behind became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that Chen Yu and the people were desperately moving closer to their side, and Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu also quickly made the decision to retreat after encountering the attack, and they were also moving closer to themselves. Other words. As long as they can hold out a little longer, reinforcements will arrive.
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhichao was very determined, in the dark, he couldn't see the enemy's path clearly, and similarly, the enemy couldn't see them clearly. Can hit the opponent. It was luck, I was hit by the other party, and I can only blame myself for being unlucky.
From time to time, a light like a meteor flashed quickly, which was a tracer bullet fired by both sides. The broken branches and leaves also splashed in all directions, and only two minutes later, someone on Cheng Zhichao's side snorted again, and it seemed that another person had been shot.
Cheng Zhichao didn't have time to see who was hit. While constantly changing positions to fight back,While using your brain to think of countermeasures.γ Listen to the sound. The gunfire behind him was getting closer and closer, but the gunfire in front of him seemed to stop in place and not move. There can only be one explanation for this phenomenon, that is, Xia Zhenyang and they are under great pressure, and I am afraid that they have fallen into the encirclement of the enemy and can no longer organize a retreat. And the situation on Chen Yu's side was better, although the other party blocked the attack. But that doesn't stop them.
Cheng Zhichao was secretly anxious, if this continued, even if he could wait for Chen Yu and them to be in place, Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu would probably be eaten by the other party. In this way, the three-point team that has just been formed. I'm afraid we'll have to regroup again.
At the same time that he thought of this, Zhao Jiyong also thought of it, and under the cover of the night, he rushed to Cheng Zhichao's side: "No, it's not a way to fight like this, the squad leader is afraid that they are blocked, and they have to find a way to pick them up." β
"That's what I thought, too, I have to find a way to rush out and get them out."
"Why don't we two go and let the others stand up to it here? Anyway, listening to the movement, Team Chen, they should not be far from us, and they can arrive in five or six minutes at most. β
"I'm worried that if the two of us leave, they may not be able to support Team Chen."
"I'm more worried that we will wait for Team Chen to come and then pick up the squad leader and them, and after we get to the place, we can only collect their bodies."
Thinking of the scene Zhao Jiyong said, especially after rushing to the place, his good brother Lu Zhuo was lying there covered in blood and with his eyes closed, Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but give a cold war: "Just do as you say, damn, fight, it's a big deal to throw more than 100 catties here." β
"Talk to them, and then I shout one, two, three, let's rush forward together, and if we die, our brothers will be unlucky."
"It's done." Cheng Zhichao gritted his teeth, what Dong Cunrui, Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, what Chen Hongyuan, Yan Long, Shi Guangzhu ......, none of the glorious images of combat heroes appeared in his mind at this moment, but the image of Lu Zhuo covered in blood made him shudder.
The rest of the Third Division is now two wounded. The others were gritting their teeth against the enemy by relying on the terrain, and the bullets were whizzing around them, but this time, the new team members who were fighting the enemy on a frontal battlefield for the first time were quite mature, and every movement was clear-eyed, and none of them flinched. Cheng Zhichao put a little bit of worry in his heart, and simply told the two people closest to him about his thoughts.
When the two of them heard that he was going to pick up Xia Zhenyang and the others with Zhao Jiyong, their faces changed slightly: "Isn't it a little too risky?" β
"If you don't go, the squad leader will probably suffer a big loss, and they won't be able to take care of this. You stay here, don't retreat or rush forward lightly, as long as you can hold on until the Chen team comes. When they come, report the situation to Team Chen, and ask him to send someone to pick us up again. β
The two nodded, "Okay, I'll cover you." β
"Thank you." Cheng Zhichao grabbed the gun, changed a magazine, and Zhao Jiyong took out two grenades, nodded together in tacit understanding, pulled open the iron ring, and threw them out together without even counting one, two, three.
After shooting with both hands for a long time, because I couldn't figure out the details of the other party, I couldn't see the real location of the other party with the naked eye. Coupled with the high trees and dense forests, the terrain is complex, if you are not careful. It was easy to cause a rebound, but it would hurt your own people, so you didn't use grenades. But now Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are going to rush out of a bloody way to meet Xia Zhenyang, so they are very unruly and take the lead in using the "big killer" of grenades.
Problems that can be solved with guns, try not to use grenades, so as not to cause casualties to yourself. This is an unwritten rule in small-scale special operations in the jungle, and the other side is obviously also a veteran of jungle warfare, and this rule is implemented to the letter. It's just that he relied on the firepower to launch a fierce confrontation with Cheng Zhichao and others, anyway, according to the information obtained from observing these people, the dozen or so people behind are the real jungle war masters, and their opponents are just a group of rookies. Shoot slowly, believing that it won't take long to completely destroy the opponent, and you can't risk using such a dangerous thing as a grenade.
But who would have thought. This group of rookies who didn't know the height of the sky, and the number of people was small, but they had to divide into two groups of actions, and greatly underestimated their numerical advantage, so they jumped over the wall in a hurry, and used such a crazy thing as grenades regardless of it. Therefore, although Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's grenades did not cause any casualties to them due to the obstruction of trees, they startled the ambushers. The gunfire suddenly became much quieter.
The others now know what Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong think, and they all want to cover them. But there are too many people on the other side. There is no such powerful guy as a heavy machine gun on his side, and he is obviously inferior to the other party in terms of firepower, and he is worried there, and when he saw that Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's grenades had caused miraculous results, they all took out the grenades. I spotted the direction and threw it.
Sure enough, elsewhere, a grenade is a good thing, with a lot of firepower and a lot of suppression. But inside the woods. The power of a grenade is only 30% powerful, which is good. Two grenades hit the trunk of a tree and bounced back, almost knocking themselves all over the place, while the other didn't lose a single hair.
But I also have to admit that their indiscriminate bombing also had the effect of beating the master to death. When this thing was thrown out, it was silent, and it was impossible to judge the location of the grenade thrower from the sound, which made the opponent lose the target for a short time, and could only shoot indiscriminately in the dark. I was afraid that I would be wounded by shrapnel, and the formation was a little chaotic.
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong had been waiting for an opportunity, and seeing that the other party's firepower was no longer as fierce as just now, they immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and rushed forward quickly like two leopards.
Although it was night, and in the jungle, the visual conditions were extremely poor, but the other party quickly spotted the two of them, and a burst of exclamation came from both sides, and then the gunshots broke out, chasing the two of them in front of and behind their feet.
Not to be outdone, the other team members in charge of covering were the targets of their greetings wherever tracer bullets were fired. When firing just now, everyone basically used short point shooting, on the one hand, to ensure shooting accuracy, and on the other hand, to save ammunition. But now it's all changed to long point shooting, and if it weren't for the poor accuracy of the bursts, everyone would have chosen to shoot 100% of the time.
The only light machine gun in the team was also changed from a short point to a long point, and everyone had only one purpose - to escort Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong out of the encirclement to pick up Xia Zhenyang and others.
At this time, Lao Jiang's years of training results were finally fully reflected, almost subconsciously, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong had completely integrated the knowledge taught by Lao Jiang and this actual combat perfectly. The two of them jumped and jumped in the forest, and they were really moving like rabbits, and after a few ups and downs, they had already rushed out more than 20 meters away.
In fact, although those things of the Lao Jiang Sect are already a little outdated, they are always changing, and after decades of development, special operations have formed a system, but there is a basic factor leading everything in everything. Although Lao Jiang's combat methods in those days seem simple and crude today, no one will deny that the current special operations theory is all based on the valuable experience they explored in those years, and it has become what it is now after further deepening and refinement.
And what Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have learned since childhood, in addition to fighting skills, this knowledge also accounts for a large proportion, but there is no ready-made training environment for them to apply what they have learned. If they are given the opportunity to open their minds, the knowledge that has been engraved in their minds since childhood can exert great power. The simplest example is the days when Zhao Jiyong was hunting at the radar station, a city soldier who had never lived in the mountains, but he was able to quickly master the hunting skills, and the practicality of Lao Jiang's traditional skills can be seen from this.
After joining the special brigade, they received modern special operations training, and the general consumption of a long time, coupled with Zhao Jiyong's gains and losses of love at first sight with Hu Qinan, so that Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong did not have time to systematically integrate the knowledge taught by Lao Jiang and the modern special operations theory system.
But now life and death are at stake, and the potential of the two of them has been brought into full play, and Cheng DΓΉ instinctively took out what Lao Jiang taught, and Lao Jiang taught them the most basic knowledge, so Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's foundation was quite solid. By the time those people reacted, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong had already rushed out of their firepower. (To be continued......)
