Chapter 1036: Lending a Helping Hand
The battle in the gorge suddenly became eerie. Through the sniper scope, Luo Zheng observed carefully and found that Bloodsucker had slowed down the attack speed, rushing forward like a hungry wolf with bared teeth. Once they found prey resisting, they immediately turned back, while the prey was constrained by other hungry wolves, afraid to pursue beyond cover. In this tactic, Pot Lid Head's fury was thoroughly ignited, and the ammunition was quickly consumed. Luo Zheng could see that the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group was holding back, but the fact of ammunition consumption was undeniable.
"Hiss?" Luo Zheng didn't expect Bloodsucker to use the wolf pack tactics against a tiger. Tigers are fierce and single wolves couldn't stop them, but a pack of wolves was different, attacking from all sides, constantly provoking but never directly confronting, depleting the tiger's patience and physical strength. When the tiger was exhausted, that's when the wolf pack implemented the ultimate kill.
Luo Zheng couldn't understand why Bloodsucker suddenly adopted this tactic. With their advantage, they could concentrate force to attack one point and completely break Pot Lid Head's defense. Could it be they wanted to capture them alive? Thinking of this, Luo Zheng was shocked and fell into contemplation.
Luo Zheng was well aware of Bloodsucker's combat strength. The Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group had only six or seven members left, facing a fierce attack of about fifty people without defeat. This combat prowess was very formidable, but Luo Zheng believed Pot Lid Head couldn't hold on for long. When their ammunition ran out, it would be their doom. Bloodsucker wanted to capture them alive, but Luo Zheng believed Pot Lid Head would never surrender.
At this time, three RPGs suddenly fired, rockets howled away and hit the Pot Lid Head defense area directly. Three loud explosions sounded, and Luo Zheng knew Pot Lid Head was about to be finished. At this moment, Bloodsucker seemed to lose patience as well, launching a general attack. Many people surrounded from all directions, suppressing Pot Lid Head fiercely with continuous point shots.
But Bloodsucker underestimated Pot Lid Head's determination to resist. They continued fighting bravely and fearlessly, calmly pulling the trigger, and once again stopped those who rushed forward. The two sides were only about a hundred meters apart. For everyone, this distance was dangerous, with shooting accuracy greatly increased. Any slight flaw was death.
The battle continued, Bloodsucker kept bombing with RPGs, further eroding Pot Lid Head's defense space. Bloodsucker kept advancing, closing the distance. Pot Lid Head lost two more members, but Bloodsucker also paid the price of losing about ten lives.
Finally, the two sides were less than fifty meters apart. The Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group used up their last ammunition, gathered their weapons and equipment, and shattered them with the last three grenades. This way, everyone had only one dagger left, which shocked Luo Zheng. The fighting spirit of this team was too strong. Even in death, they wouldn't let the guns representing their second life fall into enemy hands, just a way of maintaining dignity.
Pot Lid Head was out of weapons, with only about three members left hiding behind a large tree, calmly watching the Bloodsucker members rushing forward. Their eyes were fierce, their hands gripping the military daggers a bit tighter. Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng knew this team hadn't given up.
Perhaps noticing Pot Lid Head was out of ammunition, Bloodsucker didn't look at the guns, didn't rush forward, but chose to defend in place. Three members tested forward, steel guns raised at shoulder level, bodies slightly turned, walking cautiously without a trace of carelessness.
At this time, a Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group member showed his body from behind the tree, military dagger held in reverse, in a fighting stance. As a soldier, this Pot Lid Head member would die in combat even if shot dead, and this provocative action stimulated Bloodsucker's anger. No one fired a shot.
All were strong, all had their own dignity. Three Bloodsucker members stopped, calmly watching the opponent, gun barrels slowly lowered. At this time, two other Pot Lid Head members appeared, holding military daggers with a challenging expression. Three Bloodsucker members exchanged glances, tossed their weapons aside, and also pulled out military daggers.
"Roar!" Almost simultaneously, six people sounded the horn of battle and rushed forward, engaging in close combat.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng was puzzled. As soldiers, Pot Lid Head had their honor and dignity to protect. Facing death unyieldingly, even when fighting to the last round, they wouldn't give up. This was understandable. As mercenaries, did Bloodsucker Mercenary Group members also have honor and dignity to protect? Aren't mercenaries driven by profit first? Wouldn't directly shooting the opponent be more in line with their interests?
After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng couldn't figure it out. Looking back at the battlefield, the three Bloodsucker members were eliminated by Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group in one-on-one situations, all having their throats slit. More Bloodsucker surrounded, still without the intention of firing recklessly, instead choosing two-on-one. Could Bloodsucker really want to capture them alive?
While still puzzled, the earpiece suddenly sounded with Hong Meihua's voice: "Sam Country sent a request, hoping we rescue their special warfare team? As a condition, they withdrew from the contest."
"Ah?" Luo Zheng was taken aback, instinctively looked up at the sky, and smiled bitterly: "How did they find us?"
"Because you were observing from a tree, detected by Sam Country's satellite. Hiding in the forest, the satellite might not see you, but the treetops can. Besides, you chose such a tall tree, and even our command center here can see you. You're so famous now, they can find out your identity easily." Hong Meihua explained with a smile.
"Oh, why would Sam Country want to do this?" Luo Zheng continued to ask.
"I checked through the satellite. Among the three survivors, one is the captain, the son of the Defense Minister of Sam Country. Time is pressing, they're urging hastily. You decide whether to act." Hong Meihua explained.
"Xue Er, your opinion." Luo Zheng saw the three Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group members were in danger in the one-against-two scenario, at risk of life at any time, and hurriedly asked.
"Rescue them. Without them touching the activation device, it's much easier for us to deal with. If we don't rescue, the angry Defense Minister will send more Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group forces to avenge his son. We'll be more passive by then." Lan Xue said.
"Are their words trustworthy?" Luo Zheng asked.
"Trustworthy, otherwise there will be no one acting in similar situations in the future. This is also the unwritten rule for confrontation between countries. Countries can fight secretly, but must absolutely keep their word." Hong Meihua explained.
"Then let's act." Upon hearing that, Luo Zheng immediately made a decision. To kill the enemy and save people would not only weaken Bloodsucker's strength but also make another formidable force exit. Why not? He quickly set up the sniper rifle. Through the sniper scope, Luo Zheng saw the three Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group members were already injured, in danger, likely to be killed at any time.
Luo Zheng concentrated and focused, aiming at one target. This target had kicked down a member of the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group who was unable to stand before he was about to perform the final kill, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
"Shoo!" The sniper rifle fired. The shell ejected from the chamber, making a crisp sound as it fell down the tree, drawing a beautiful arc. The bullet head whistled through, tearing through space, drawing a terrifying death shockwave, like Death God's cold laughter in the Void.
