Staying in the grass outside the cottage, Zhang Ning helplessly looked at the other party's surroundings.

The area of the cottage is not small, and it used to be a small family, but now it is abandoned. Although the large area can facilitate the hiding of Xie Yuxin and Chen Ruijun, it also increases the difficulty of defense.

After all, there are only 30 people in Zhang Ning and his party, and after deducting Xie Yuxin and Chen Ruijun, there are actually only 28 people, of which four condolence groups and three guards are close to Xie Yuxin and Chen Ruijun. Coupled with Zhang Ning and the three snipers outside the cottage, there are now only seventeen guards inside the cottage.

And these seventeen janissaries have to take on the task of defending on four sides, which can be said to be extremely difficult. Previously, the joint agents of Japan and the United States were only attacking on one side, and the Praetorian Guards could also concentrate their firepower and defend on one side. But when the other party saw the doorway and attacked from all four sides at the same time, the firepower of the guards became scattered. This also gives these Japanese and American agents an opportunity.

However, the Japanese and American agents at this moment did not have the fierce offensive as before, under the counterattack of the Praetorian Guards and the blows of two fighters. At this time, more than half of the casualties had been killed, and there were less than eighty active agents left.

It was only twenty minutes, and even John Chris and Yagyu Jubei, who had all kinds of worst-case plans, had never imagined that there would be such a direction of development.

The serious casualties made the two extremely angry. Under such casualties, it has just attacked the cottage, which can only be said to be a great shame.

The previous plan for the two of them was simple, using the information obtained. Ambush on the way home of the target. As long as the opposing team passes through the ambush point, the arranged snipers will take the lead in attacking, aiming at the protected target and striving for an instant kill. Kill the protected target, and then the other personnel take advantage of the chaos to kill, using the instantaneous powerful firepower of the submachine gun to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop. Then, take a photo and dive back into the jungle to join the Allied forces in India.

It's a good idea. But they grossly underestimated the alertness of the Praetorian guards. For the unusually well-trained Praetorian Guards, nothing unusual could escape their eyes. Their failure was not accidental, but inevitable.

And the accurate shooting of the Praetorian Guard, continuous firepower. Flexible tactical moves. Tough anti-sniper hunting methods. The most important point. Ultra-modern means of communication on the Praetorian Guards. This is the main reason for the heavy casualties of these Japanese and American agents.

At this moment, John Chris was even more depressed, and their 101 assassination team also had a lot of heavy weapons. Like the grenadiers that were captured by Japan before, there are also mortars and rocket launchers for supplies. But these things are not easy to carry in the jungle, so they don't have much to carry. Only a couple of grenadiers and grenades were brought, which were also destroyed by the grenades of the opposing side.

The absence of heavy firearms made this "tough battle" even more difficult. If there were a few bazookas, there would be no need for such trouble. This cottage has already been breached.

It's just that there is no if in the world, and they don't even dare to raise a fire in the past two months. Not to mention two months of messing around in the woods with bazookas and mortars and matching shells, because it's very unrealistic. The main point is that they are agents, and not trained jungle special forces.

Fortunately, it's not like there's no chance at all. The backyard was breached, and there were already agents who had officially entered the cottage. The news was somewhat comforting and didn't make the two of them feel hopeless.

It's just that they also feel a kind of shame at the same time for such comfort. They were agents, each of them skilled in assassination and sabotage, and more than two hundred agents worked together. And there are only a few people on the other side, and it is only now that they have broken through the opponent's defense. It was not clear to them whether it was a consolation or another sign of shame.

"Hurry up, hurry up and get through the gap, not a single one will be left." John yelled at the right time.

At the sound of his roar, the agents attacking from the front door left a few points of deflected fire, and the rest of the personnel began to circle the front, detour back to the backyard, and climb into the cottage from a gap already occupied by the agents.

However, Zhang Ning, who had been observing these people in the rear, also heard this roar, and the familiar American English made him understand for the first time that the white man among these militants turned out to be Yankees. And the dress of Little Japan does not need to be verified at all.

The joint action of the United States and Japan, the target of which is, naturally, the members of the imperial family. According to this view, the other party already knew about the trip this time, otherwise he would not have set up an ambush halfway. Moreover, the other side can enter the territory of China, which is also a very noteworthy issue. This is the territory of China, and the further south is also occupied by the Southeast Asian theater of operations. In this connected jungle, there are definitely holes in the defense line and patrol lines.

A lot of thoughts flashed through Zhang Ning's mind in an instant, and he had been wondering who these people were. Now the doubts are gone, either agents or special forces.

And now such a question is no longer important, and he will make these people pay.

"Sniper, one ready to cover me." Under the cover of gunfire, Zhang Ning quietly commanded the three snipers in the distance through the radio.

"I'll come." On the radio, the answer of one of the snipers was heard.

There is no need to say who it is, listening to the voice, Zhang Ning can quickly determine which of the three snipers is answering. Quietly signaling a thumbs up to the woods on the left, Zhang Ning knew that the sniper was definitely looking at this place at this time.

Put away your thumbs, no extra words, no extra movements. With a dagger in his left hand and a pistol in his right, he crawled in the grass towards the place where the sound had just been made. He wanted to capture the other party alive as much as he could. Let him answer his doubts.

――――――

On the other side, the fighting in the cottage intensified.

"Concentrate, don't let those snakes, insects, rats and ants take advantage of them." The captain of the Praetorian Guard is also one of the three people responsible for the close protection of Xie Yuxin and Chen Ruijun. The three formed a makeshift guard team and were responsible for the security of the two. After being reminded by Zhang Ning, he immediately said to the two guards beside him.

"Yes, Captain." Both replied at the same time.

"Xiaolong, you join in, stay here, and respond at any time." The team leader spoke again, but this time the target was the little dragon who came in and bandaged it.

Xiaolong didn't answer, but nodded directly, everything was to protect the safety of Xie Yuxin and Chen Ruijun as the first task.

At this moment, Chen Ruijun had already dragged his mother to the corner, a dead corner where he shot from the window or the door. Once again, he took out his pistol and protected his mother behind him.

In the backyard of the cottage, two people hid in the corner of the somewhat broken wall, staring inside from time to time, and recorded all the defenses in the cottage. The resistance here has withdrawn, but it is only coming in. In the two passages leading from the backyard to the inner courtyard, several agents were already lying down, and they didn't dare to take any more risks.

"Is it well documented?"

"It's recorded."

Outside the corner of the grass in the middle of the backyard, fifteen heavily armed men are resting, led by a bearded Asian man who is the number two man in the Japanese secret service team, Wushi Zhutou.

"Your Excellency Wushi, the two white men have been gone for so long, why haven't they come back, is there something wrong with them!" A Japanese agent asked.

"No, the two of them are not weak, they are experienced, and they are not so prone to accidents, I think something is delayed, just wait."

After a while, the two white men returned.

"Have you figured out the situation?" Wushi Zhutou (I am a pig's head) hurriedly asked in English.

"We have basically figured out the situation in the inner courtyard of the cottage, and there are about eight guards inside. However, the layout and the situation of the front door are similar, with a combination of high and low firepower. The high places are full of firepower, and after passing through the two passages, there is open ground nearby, and there is no cover, and if we rush to attack, we will definitely become a live target for the other side. One of the white men spoke.

"As expected, it's a tough guy." Wushi Zhutou shook his head.

"So what do we do now?" Another American agent next to him couldn't help but ask.

Wushi Zhutou thought about it, and now there was not much time for him to hesitate. A few scattered door panels in the distance caught his attention.

"Go, bring those panels."

"Yes!"

A few agents worked together to bring the door panels over. The whole door panel made of solid wood is extremely heavy to start.

"These planks are very strong, and the muzzle caliber of the Chinese guns is relatively small, and the penetration does not seem to be very good. Block with these planks and storm the inner courtyard. Knocking on the wooden board, Wushi Zhutou said with satisfaction.

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

"Ready to go!"

Sixteen or seventeen men separated four tall American agents, each holding up a door panel, and walked into the passage leading to the courtyard.

"It's almost through the passage, everyone prepare." It's progressing well, at least they're not attacked once they're in the passage. After walking halfway through the passage, there were no problems.

After seeing that he was about to pass through the passage that seemed to him to be the most dangerous, Wushi Zhutou hurriedly commanded. The crowd loaded their bullets and prepared for battle.

And at this moment, the guards inside had already seen their movements. It's just that they didn't plan to shoot like that, but waited for the other party to get closer.

At the same time, they were amused by the IQ of the people in front of them, because they had not used grenades, and despite the fact that the assault rifle was small-caliber, it was not weak at all. Such a move did not have the slightest effect at all. (To be continued......)
