Chapter 46: Rescue
After confirming their location over the radio, I carried Chiba on my back to join us, and after a battle, two people in the group were wounded and incapacitated, which was a huge blow to us, not only did we lose two combatants, but we also had to divide the manpower to take care of them, so that the combat effectiveness was almost halved.
Originally, I planned to attack the waterhole in the center of the island, which was the only source of water, and the enemy would definitely occupy it to establish a defensive line, but now it is not possible, and as the leader of the group, I must consider everyone's safety.
But what if you don't go there? We can't hide until the end of the assessment, thinking about it, I decided to go, but I can't go, I'm going to take two people to form a sniper team, sneak over, kill one counts as one, and if you can't kill it, you can withdraw it.
After making my decision, I contacted Andrew, who took Isha with us not the same way, and after confirming his location, a group of us quickly moved closer to him.
After about twenty minutes of walking, we walked out of the valley and into the deeper jungle, and according to the location shown by the GPS locator, we walked another 80 meters to the hiding place of Andrew and Isa.
I handed Chiba to Billy, there was no stretcher, and we had to change shifts to carry him.
After checking the coordinates with the electronic map again, I waved my hand and led everyone on, Tim and Cullen explored the way ahead, we advanced in a Y-shaped tactical formation, and Billy walked at the end with Chiba Onimaru on his back.
Stepping on thick fallen leaves, wielding a knife to cut through the shrubs and weeds that stand in front of them, and being careful of poisonous snakes hanging upside down on branches at all times, the group walked slowly.
After walking less than twenty meters, Tim's voice suddenly came over the radio: "There is a situation!" ”
"Huh?" I thought to myself that I wouldn't carry it like this, I just had a fight, and before I had time to catch my breath, I ran into an enemy again?
"What's going on?" I bent over and cautiously walked over to Tim.
"You see, the branches here have signs of being cut down." Tim picked up a severed branch from the ground and handed it to me.
"There are different footprints here!" Cullen found footprints of various sizes on the right.
"It's certainly not Andrew's, he's got big feet!" I looked at the shoe prints that were no older than 42 left on the rotten leaves.
"It's not been long since Andrew and Isha are in danger!" I touched the cut in the branch, and it was still wet.
"Then what are you waiting for, if you don't leave, they will become the prey of the enemy." Tim said in an eager tone.
I was silent for a moment, then looked back at Chiba and said, "Catherine, Natalie, Billy, the three of you will stay here with Chiba to pick us up, and the others will follow me to support Andrew and Isha, and we must bring them back safely!" ”
"I'm fine, leave me alone, you need more combatants!" Chiba immediately objected.
"Less nonsense, I'm the team leader, do what I order, go!" As soon as the words fell, a gunshot suddenly rang out in front of him, breaking the calm of the night, followed by gunshots like popping beans.
"Grass, they've been discovered."
"Hurry—" I beckoned, striding towards where the shots were coming from, and sprinting my rifle in hand.
The gunfire was intense, mostly the sound of AK, which showed that Andrew had not been killed and was still fighting.
I ran forward as hard as I could, wishing to have two more legs, and finally, after running a few dozen meters, through the dense jungle, I vaguely saw the gunfire in front of me.
"Sika Bachai on the left flank, Tim Cullen on the right flank, Anne follow me to break through head-on, do!" I made tactical adjustments as I ran forward, and the six of us quickly split into three groups and rushed towards the enemy as fast as we could.
Rushing out of the grass, the battlefield in front of me, I hid behind a big tree, knelt on one knee, fifteen meters away, a guy in a tattered military uniform was holding an AK and shooting at the bushes in front of me.
I could only see him half of his body due to several large trees blocking the view, and it would not have been easy to spot him if it weren't for AK's gunfire revealing his location.
Raise the gun, aim, lock, shoot, the whole process I did in two seconds, the bullet shot out of the barrel at three times the speed of sound, first shattered a piece of bark, and then pierced the left chest of the enemy.
AK's voice stopped abruptly, and his body jerked forward, falling to the ground.
At this time, gunshots were also heard from the left and right sides, and the enemy reacted quickly, and when they heard my gunshots, they realized that someone was coming from behind, and immediately hid behind a tree and fired back.
In our first round of attacks, I was the only one who killed one enemy, and the number of enemies has not yet been determined, but I know that there are at least seven or eight of them according to the sound of gunfire.
"Isha, I'm Han Bing, I heard the reply!" I called Isha while shooting.
The M24 sniper rifle is manually loaded, and every time a shot is fired, the bolt must be pulled out of the cartridge case, and long-range sniping is a good job, but once the distance is closer, it is basically scrapped, just like now, after my position is exposed, it is completely suppressed by the enemy, and there is no chance to fight back at all.
"Looks like I'll have to get myself a rifle when I go back!" I hid behind a tree and muttered as I loaded the magazine as AK's bullets hit the trunk of a nearby tree with a banging sound and sawdust and bark flying everywhere.
"Team leader, I'm fine, are you here to help?" Isa's response finally came from the headphones, but her voice was a little weak.
"What about Andrew, how is he?" I shouted into the microphone.
"I don't know, he's attracting fire outside, I can't get a response to my radio call, his wireless signal is gone, he can't die, team leader, save him back for me!" Isha sounded anxious, and even spoke with a trill.
"Don't worry, he won't die, I promise!" As I spoke, I put my loaded sniper rifle on my back and pulled out my M9 pistol with my backhand, a hand-pistol that was better than a sniper rifle in close combat.
I hid behind a tree and looked sideways, and we were clearly inferior to the head-on exchange of fire at close range, and the usual marksmanship of the Ten Rings of Guns was now completely unplayable, and Tim they fired a shuttle of bullets, and did not hurt a single enemy.
"Damn!" I took a deep breath, jumped behind another tree, and fired three shots at the enemy fifteen meters away.
I don't know if I hit or not, it felt like I was shot, but the dozen or so bullets that followed told me that even if I hit, it wasn't fatal.
It can't go on like this, Sika on the left flank has been injured in the arm by a ricochet, and not only will he not be able to save people if he fights, but I am afraid that we will also fold here, and training and the battlefield are really not the same thing.
"Listen, everyone, the situation is not good, we fight and retreat, lead the enemy to chase, Anne lurks in the tree, wait for us to lead the enemy away, you go to save people, and then quickly meet Catherine, hide on the spot and wait for us to come back! Do you understand? I gasped and shouted over the radio.
