"A round of covering strikes was completed, and it was impossible to observe the damage, and the Firebird continued to track. How far are you from the shipwreck? ”

In the earphones, Cheng Lei's calm voice came, and Chen Shen, who was struggling to push away the dense branches and leaves, took a breath, looked for an angle and glanced at the smoke thrown by Lin He in the distance from the gap in the forest to mark the signal, and replied:

"There are about 400 meters left, and the Firebird continues to press."

"Received, continue to suppress. But we are running out of ammunition. ”

"How many are left?"

"Three machine guns with a total of about a thousand rounds, unable to maintain sustained fire, they are going to run."

Hearing Cheng Lei's words, Chen Shen couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

A precise firepower strike didn't even wipe out the Shadow Corps?

Of course, there is nothing bizarre about this, the effect of the Bi helicopter's top-down strike has been greatly reduced, not to mention that there are anti-infrared means on the opposite side, so the helicopter has no way to shoot accurately.

Lin He's guidance has played a huge role, if there is no tracer bullet to indicate the enemy's position and basic formation, let alone a helicopter, you come to 10 warthogs, you may not be able to sweep away the enemy within tens of thousands of square meters.

So, this time the blow has been quite successful, but . It's just a little less lucky.

So, Chen Shen was no longer entangled, and turned to Lin He and asked:

"No. 5, can you continue to track?"

"I was looking for it, but the other side threw a lot of smoke bombs, and I was surrounded."

"I can't figure out where they are leaving, it's going to take time"

"How many people are still alive?"

"Visually less than 10 people, at least more than half of the staff has been reduced!"

10 people.

Coupled with the 4 people who died at the landing point before, in the previous information, the approximately 25 members of the Shadow Corps involved have suffered more than 60% casualties.

This also means that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to organize a systematic counterattack, and the next step is pure cat and mouse.

But the problem is that cats catch mice, and sometimes they are not easy to catch.

This jungle is too big, and if the other party makes up their minds not to resist, it will be a little difficult to find them.

You can only rely on the Lin River.

So, he must not have an accident, no matter what.

So, Chen Shen immediately ordered:

"No. 5, stand by in place, pay attention to concealment, and wait for answers."

"Understood."

Lin He did not refute, nor did he recklessly, this is the most important thing that the previous battle church gave him, that is:

At all times, put the commander's orders first.

After receiving his answer, Chen Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, and he led the team and began to continue the pursuit in the direction of the Shadow Legion.

According to Lin He's uninterrupted prompts, they cleared 3 treacherous mines in the forest, all of which were extremely hidden and insidious tree mines.

Chen Shen didn't know how Lin He found these things-—— which was beyond his comprehension.

Maybe it's just an unusual scratch on a tree, maybe it's just a broken branch in a bush, or maybe it's a leaf that has been turned over.

But in any case, Lin He did it.

And his talent has also become a real bargaining chip in this jungle chase battle.

It took 15 minutes for the main force of the Dongfeng Corps to reach the site of the air attack, quickly established a defense, and began to inspect the entire battlefield.

A total of nine bodies were left here, not a single wounded.

Of course, being hit by a 12.7mm caliber machine gun and wanting to be wounded without dying is basically unlikely.

In extensive testing, 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets can penetrate an entire bulletproof insert with relative ease, and then inflict massive damage on the human body behind the body armor.

Although it will not be pierced again, the damage caused by the fragments crushed by the bulletproof plate is still fatal when it penetrates the body.

Chen Shen examined all the corpses, most of them were shot in the torso, two people had their thighs broken, and one was unlucky enough to be hit in the head, leaving only a headless corpse.

Among the 6 people in the torso, 4 of them should have been hit in the chest and received a boxed lunch on the spot, and the other two died of suffocation caused by open pneumothorax + rupture of large blood vessels.

The casualties at the scene did seem quite reasonable, but Chen Shen always felt that something was wrong.

After making sure that the environment at the scene was safe, he called Lin He over and asked him to check the surrounding traces.

And under this investigation, he really found that little "disharmony".

"Here, here, there should have been wounded in both places."

Lin He pointed to a tree trunk that had been pierced by bullets, and an inconspicuous bloodstained mark on the ground, and continued to explain:

"Number 4, you see, the bullet must have hit the enemy behind the trunk after piercing the trunk, right in this position."

"The plants on the ground have traces of being crushed, trampled on, and lodging."

"The man was shot and leaned back, leaning against the trunk of a tree behind him, but there was no blood on the trunk."

"That is, he was not pierced."

"Coupled with the double blocking of the trunk and body armor, it is likely that he was injured, but not too badly."

Speaking of this, Lin He paused slightly, and after carefully recalling, he continued:

"They must have taken a couple of wounded people with them, and I heard them shouting for help in English."

"There is also this one, the bullet went straight into the ground, but because of the angle, it bounced up and hit someone again."

"If you push the leaves away, you can see the bullets going through."

Following the direction of Lin He's finger, Chen Shen pushed aside the bushes, and sure enough, he saw a "bullet channel" near the ground.

The fragile herbs were broken and drooped to the ground as if they had been cut by a not-sharp sickle.

"In this way, the casualties of the other side are 11 people, and they still have combat effectiveness, which should be less than 10 people."

"Minor injuries are a burden and they move slower, which is good news for us"

The white dog on the side spoke thoughtfully, while Chen Shen shook his head and replied:

"That's not good news."

"When more than half of the personnel has been reduced, they still have to bring lightly wounded, but it will definitely not be because of their humanitarian spirit or any comradeship."

"There are only two possibilities: either they have found a foolproof hideout; Either that, or their support is coming. ”

"It's even quite possible that both are happening at the same time."

Hearing his words, the white dog reacted instantly.

Yes, no matter how powerful the background is, the Shadow Corps is only a mercenary organization in terms of organizational form.

And a mercenary organization will not risk their own lives to save other people's lives.

If they really saved someone, it must be because they thought they could save it.

The situation has changed again, and the speed of this change has almost made the white dog a little out of pace.

He looked at Chen Shen and asked:

"What then? Are we still chasing? ”

"You have to keep chasing, and you have to be fast!"

Chen Shen replied decisively, and then continued:

"I don't believe there's any place in this jungle where they can hide, and as long as they're in the jungle, we'll be able to catch up with them."

"4 groups, cooperate with the 5th to go out to investigate, follow the track."

"The other groups followed and advanced, paying attention to fire cover and echelon defense."

"We have to move fast and stop them as much as possible before they reach their chosen 'safe zone'!"

"Understood!"

Everyone replied together, and then, Chen Shen no longer cared about the corpses, but immediately led the team to set off.

Touching the corpse?

It didn't exist, even if he had just examined the corpse, Chen Shen was extremely careful to keep a considerable distance, just to avoid unnecessary killings due to possible mines.

To touch the corpse at such a time is really to think that your life is too long.

Besides, the other party's equipment is actually not so attractive to the Dongfeng Corps.

Even the anti-infrared camouflage suits on their bodies have lost their meaning at this time.

After all, a mouse that is being chased by a cat will not have time to look back.

So, under the command of Chen Shen, the Dongfeng Corps began to advance at full speed, and Lin He was like a cheetah in the forest, regaining his instincts at the peak of the jungle after taking off his heavy protective equipment.

The speed of the entire team was amazingly fast, and even Cheng Lei in the air was stunned.

Because he could clearly see the trajectory of the Dongfeng Corps, in 30 minutes, the ground team had moved more than 1 kilometer!

Although only 600 meters were advanced in the main direction of progress, this was because the ground team had to constantly try and make mistakes, keep tracking, and constantly adjust the direction!

If it is really pure jungle off-roading, the speed of this team may even exceed two kilometers per hour.

This terrifying speed, if nothing else, is enough to propel this team to the heights of the "King of the Jungle".

Because, they can fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy with super high speed, and the deterrent power of jungle guerrilla warfare is absolutely superior to all types of guerrilla warfare.

Cheng Lei breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the fuel gauge and reported:

"There are 20 minutes left in the effective flight time, and I need to return to the flight in 20 minutes to refuel."

"Understood, 20 minutes."

Chen Shen opened his mouth to answer, and at this moment, new information also came from Lin He's side:

"The enemy is starting to move in a straight line, and their goal is clear."

All the members of the Dongfeng Corps were in good spirits, and the speed of the pursuit increased again, and only 15 minutes later, they crossed the distance of 500 meters again and arrived at the "pursuit end" judged by Lin He.

"The traces are gone here."

"They're burrowing."

Chen Shen pushed aside the bushes and walked over, and what appeared in front of him was a deep sinkhole, and looking down along the sinkhole, on the bottom side, there was an obvious cave entrance.

Chen Shen squatted down, and he noticed that there were very obvious traces of rope friction on the stone wall next to the sinkhole, but there were no ropes left.

The enemy uses a recyclable knot - either an alpine bow or a figure-eight knot.

The situation began to get a little bad, just as Chen Shen judged at the beginning, the enemy had really found a foolproof hiding place!

Chen Shen couldn't help frowning, he couldn't imagine that the other party could still play this trick when he broke his head.

Yes, in the entire jungle of Pubei, there really is no safer hiding place than a cave.

As long as they get into the hole, the pursuers will not have any chance of catching them again.

Because the caves here are not just a small cave like some scenic spots, but a typical karst landform cave group.

You never know how much space will be hidden under a small entrance, or where a tunnel connected to the underground water system will take you.

Perhaps, after spending a few hours walking through the narrow tunnels, you will find yourself under another mountain several kilometers away, and maybe even in the underground pipe system of a city!

This is the case with Phakin-dong, Nam-dong, and even Hansong-dong, which has been developed as a tourist attraction.

It is not known how many caves are similar to them, which have not yet been discovered or officially recorded.

The one in front of me is probably one of them.

"What should I do?"

The white dog stepped forward and asked:

"Shall we go down and chase it? The situation in the cave is not the same as in the jungle, if you blindly chase it in."

He didn't finish his words, but Chen Shen could fully understand his concern.

If CQB is the toughest battle in the world, then there is another form of fighting, which is definitely above CQB, and even orders of magnitude above it.

That is, tunnel warfare.

From the War of Resistance Against Japan, to the CX War, to the Vietnam War, and even the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the side that uses tunnel warfare can achieve a unique advantage.

Moreover, this advantage is completely unsolvable.

You're going to rush in?

A machine gun in the main aisle can leave you with no bones, not to mention complex forks and traps.

It is true that the naturally formed karst cave does not have so many elaborate designs, but the terrain and bunkers that can be used are also too rich.

Or, you say I'm not going in and blowing it up with a burrowing bomb?

That's right, Lao Mei is also thinking like this.

But not to mention how much of the effect of the ground-penetrating bomb can cover, in the current situation, Chen Shen took his head to change the ground-penetrating bomb?

Fire attack?

If you burn out the entire oil depot, you may not be able to fill the entire cavern system, as it is most likely connected to the underground water system.

Smoke?

If it is really a manual excavation tunnel, it is still a bit feasible, but this kind of natural karst cave, the space inside is conservatively estimated to be millions of cubic meters, what kind of smoke generating device do you have to use, what kind of pump machine do you have to use to fill it?

Damn it.

Chen Shen couldn't help but scold angrily, he was unwilling to let the Shadow Corps run away like this, judging from the current situation, his side was really helpless.

It's so insidious.

I can learn your tactics, but how can you learn ours?

What's the opposite, do you want to nod your face?!

Chen Shen scratched his head a little irritably, at this moment, he really felt Lao Mei's helplessness in the face of Yue G.

As the minutes ticked by, the helicopter was forced to return for supplies and transport the wounded along the way.

Looking at the quiet, dark, bottomless hole, Chen Shen's heart involuntarily flashed a thought:

It's really taught by a master, and I really can't break the trick now
