This is definitely not the power of a mortar shell explosion, look at that momentum at least hundreds of kilograms of explosives have been detonated, the result is that everything within a radius of 100 meters has been torn to pieces, if we just chose to forcibly attack and land on the beach, I am afraid that at this time there will not even be any bones left.

The officer who advocated going to the island stared at the huge explosion in front of him in amazement, felt a chill in his back, quietly glanced at us, and then secretly retreated to the back of the crowd to be completely honest.

Obviously, the enemy has already set a trap for us to drill into, so he will appear defenseless, and in order to lure us into it, he will not hesitate to leave a few people to hang around the shore, of course, maybe those few people are just ordinary fishermen who have been kept in the dark, and not extremists of the Abu Sayyaf organization.

"Is there still a need for landing?" The devil looked at the flaming shores and thought that we might have to run for nothing.

"Of course, don't forget, the order from the military was to attack the Abu Sayyaf strongholds, not to blow up these dilapidated fishing boats." I understand what the devil means, even if the landing is now, it will be in vain, and there may be a whole lot of traps waiting for the poor recruits, and I will say this to the officers on the side.

"Do you think the enemy will be waiting for us in the stronghold?" The devil gave me a blank look.

"No, but to turn around now is to disobey military orders." In fact, we don't care about bullshit military orders, for us, only the captain's order is a military order, I advocate going to the island to share the worries of the goddess, no matter how effective the recruits are, at least there are hundreds of people, don't make good use of this opportunity, next time I have to come by myself.

"Well, you guys are pathetic." The devil shrugged at the officers behind him, they didn't understand what it meant, but I was like a mirror, and glared at the devil while others were not looking.

The group of ships slowly approached the shore, hundreds of government soldiers rushed off the ships with their respective equipment, and assembled on the shore, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, and countless blown wooden planks floated on the sea, many of which were burned to charcoal, the flames were still burning, and the billowing black smoke rose into the air, which could be seen clearly from more than ten miles away.

The Grim Reaper took the electronic map, and after confirming the coordinates, he pointed to the southwest and said, "The target is in that direction, about eight hundred meters away." ”

I followed my finger and looked over there, where the smoke had risen before, but now I couldn't see anything, it was all blocked by the woods.

"We're going to go in and search, maybe we can't see the enemy, but it's their job." I pointed to the army behind me, which had already been assembled.

"As an instructor, I should go and give them a heads-up." The devil smiled, turned and walked in front of the soldiers and stood still, his cold gaze swept over everyone, and everywhere he looked, the soldiers stood up straight, straightened their waists, and the originally noisy scene instantly fell silent.

"Soldiers, from now on, the war is coming, unfortunately you are in it, many people will die, but you have no choice, I don't want to see anyone retreat, because I don't want to kill my own students with my own hands."

After speaking, the devil looked at the eyes of the soldiers, there was fear, excitement, cowardice and perseverance, but the most was fear, most of them had never killed anyone, the first time, it was understandable.

"Well, I'm repeating discipline, no shooting, no talking, no superfluous movements, and if you kill your comrades because of your stupidity, shoot them on the spot." The devil pulled out his pistol, turned it around his finger twice, and then held it in the palm of his hand and made a shooting motion.

"When did this guy learn to do thought work?" I held my sniper rifle and smiled at the devil pointing at the crowd.

"He just took the captain's words out and revised them slightly." The Grim Reaper said lightly.

"Maybe he has the potential to be a captain, and he learns quite similarly." I chuckled.

"The troops he brought out may not be the most powerful, but they must be the most cruel."

"Agreed!" I clapped my hands with Death.

The devil doesn't talk as much nonsense as the commander, but every sentence is said to the point, and after saying that, the troops are divided into three echelons, and he himself leads a group of people to the front, the goddess and I lead the large army in the middle, and the Grim Reaper and the others walk last.

The group cautiously followed the path in the woods towards the village, perhaps it was the weapons and numbers that gave these recruits confidence, and when I asked them to step on the footprints of me and the goddess, many people showed disapproval, until one guy stepped on a mine and broke his legs, these fools understood the cruelty of war, and honestly stepped on our footprints.

Along the way, we found a lot of mines and traps, and the devils in front of us had marked them, and if we hadn't followed, these idiots would have died before they could reach the village.

Coming to the outskirts of the village, let the soldiers hide in the woods, the four of us climbed to a high ground to look at the village in front, this place is not small, there are hundreds of houses, there is a lighthouse more than ten meters high at the entrance of the village, it is estimated that this is usually required for sentry, stand high and see far.

The whole village was empty, and there was not even a living thing to be seen, like a ghost village.

"Sure enough, the enemy has fled." The devil took his glasses and looked from house to house, but he couldn't find a ghost.

"Expected!" I tapped him on the shoulder, stood up and put the sniper rifle away.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" The goddess asked, turning her head.

"Nonsense, what else are we going to do?" I rolled my eyes and said to the Grim Reaper, "You stay behind to cover us!" With that, I put my finger in my mouth and whistled sharply.

The soldiers waiting behind quickly gathered around, and the devil stepped forward and said: "In front is the enemy's stronghold, your task is to search the village, remember, everything that is alive is the enemy." ”

After the explanation, each of the three of us led a group of soldiers, broke into the village from three directions, and launched a carpet search, searching from house to house, not sparing any corner, and the result was just as we expected, not even a single hair was found.

Coming out of the last house, I breathed a sigh of relief, the enemy disappointed me, they didn't leave a trap in the village, it seemed that they had no intention of fighting us, I wondered, aren't these extremists usually very arrogant, how can they all become turtles with shrunken heads today.

"Sir, there are a lot of footprints over there!" While I was fooling around, the little soldier who had been calling me Sergei hurriedly ran up to me and saluted.

"Where?" I raised an eyebrow.

"It's on the edge of the woods over there!" The soldier said, pointing to the south.

"Take me to see it!" I waved my hand and followed him to the edge of the woods on the outskirts of the village, and sure enough, there were a large number of footprints on the land, and it was clear that many people had walked through here before, and there was a vast mountain forest in front of them, and it seemed that they had entered the mountains.

I crouched down and looked at the footprints carefully, these marks were all new, they had just been left for a short time, and then I thought of the volley I encountered in the middle of the way, I didn't understand the purpose of their attack on us before, and now it seems that maybe it was just to delay time, to transfer people and property in the village.
