Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 333 Defensive Counterattack

Ou Yang and the others had a very turbulent afternoon.

Initially, it was the enemy hidden inside the Silver Bay who, unwilling to accept defeat, organized a group to launch an attack on the cockpit.

The enemy was detected as soon as they began to assemble. Under Lu Wei's command, everyone quickly prepared and dealt the enemy a heavy blow.

The battle lasted a short time and not many enemies were killed, but after the enemy at the front was killed by our side, the remaining enemies immediately stopped. Some lay on the ground pretending to be dead, some hid in corners and refused to show their faces, and there was even a ruthless one who simply shot himself.

The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, and used various methods to refuse orders.

The enemy leaders didn't dare to push too hard, and in the end, the matter fizzled out.

Looking back into the cockpit, everyone was holding their breath, bracing themselves for the storm, but before they could even warm up, the enemy retreated...

“It’s not surprising. Don’t compare us to some third-rate armed group.” Lu Wei pointed out the truth incisively.

Armed forces worldwide are divided into two categories: the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and non-permanent members.

So just how bad are the countries outside the five permanent members?

There is a saying that, apart from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, most of the firearms of other countries are non-renewable resources.

Of the more than 200 countries and regions in the world, only more than 100 have tanks, less than half of the total; only 92 have fighter jets, 75 have armed helicopters; only 41 have submarines; and 30 countries have no army.

The humiliating history since 1840 has made the Chinese people accustomed to seeing all kinds of grand war scenes and arduous struggles.

Therefore, in the eyes of Chinese people, the regime change in some small countries is simply like a joke, no different from playing house.

Chinese people also have a very bad habit: when evaluating other armies, they like to use the Iron Army as a model.

However, such a comparison is really unfair.

Even among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, this is an iron-willed team of unparalleled strength, with a proven record of 1v17 victories, which cannot be refuted!

There's no need to mention anything else besides the five permanent members; it's a case of overwhelming force.

Perhaps it was the enemy's previous performance that left a relatively deep impression on everyone, so when the enemy attacked, everyone was mentally prepared to fight to the death.

Unfortunately, the enemy couldn't live up to such high expectations, and their fighting spirit was extremely low. Winning a battle with an advantage wouldn't be a problem, but turning the tide when things are going badly... cough, let's talk about winning with an advantage!

Being sloppy is the norm, being lax is the norm, and bullying the weak and fearing the strong is also the norm.

This is the reality for most armies around the world. In short, the enemy is nothing more than a makeshift operation, while our side has placed too much expectation on them.

The result was like putting all your strength into a punch that landed on cotton.

After Lu Wei's reminder, Ou Yang suddenly realized what was going on.

From the moment he entered the battlefield, he felt very relaxed and didn't feel any pressure at all. Now he knew the reason!
Although the enemy retreated, they were unwilling to accept defeat. They quickly changed their strategy, no longer launching large-scale attacks, but instead breaking into smaller groups and carrying out small-scale raids, mainly to harass and cause trouble.

The rescue team has limited manpower, while the enemy has an overwhelming numerical advantage. In the enemy's eyes, the only option for the rescue team under the current circumstances is to hold the cockpit to the death.

The enemy's new tactic is piecemeal warfare; even sacrificing several lives to kill a single rescue worker is considered a gain. Lu Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Are they trying to wage guerrilla warfare against us, playing sparrow warfare?"

It was supposed to be a very serious matter, but everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"The enemy still doesn't understand us; they don't know that we are the originators of guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare!" Zhang Cheng said proudly.

This statement won unanimous approval from everyone, not only the soldiers but also the rescued personnel.

Although the rescued personnel may not have been highly skilled in military matters, they had been exposed to military knowledge since childhood and could all speak a few words, and their points were usually quite relevant.

Because they were familiar with the essence of guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare, everyone understood the passivity of simply holding their ground.

“Let’s do the opposite!” Lu Wei’s eyes lit up as he immediately made a new arrangement.

He organized the soldiers into two groups: one half guarded the cockpit to attract the enemy's attention, while the other half jumped out of the cockpit to launch a proactive attack, taking advantage of their information superiority to launch a defensive offensive, aiming to catch the enemy off guard.

The enemy never expected that a team of a dozen or so people would dare to split up. The scattered squads were attacked one after another. The original plan was disrupted by the unexpected incident, the rhythm was completely disrupted, and they had a lot of strength but could not use it.

They intended to set a trap to lure out the elusive soldiers, but no matter how the enemy set up the trap, the soldiers wouldn't fall into it. Instead, they used the enemy's trap to launch surprise attacks, constantly depleting the enemy's manpower.

After suffering heavy losses, the enemy finally realized that something was wrong and hastily retreated deep into the transport ship, like a frightened turtle, never daring to show its face again.

Our counterattack has gained a preliminary advantage.

However, everyone still dared not relax and remained on guard against the enemy's comeback.

Taking advantage of the enemy's withdrawal, Lu Wei marked out the sections of the cabins occupied by the enemy one by one. He also distinguished between the areas that he had already grasped and those that he had not, memorizing which areas were safe and which were dangerous.

He wanted to press on and annihilate all the enemies in one fell swoop, but his own ammunition was already almost depleted, and after two rounds of fierce fighting, it was almost gone. Even the supplies on the plane were nearly used up.

A rational analysis suggests that the existing ammunition is sufficient to withstand the enemy's attack, but everyone suffers from severe firepower shortage phobia, and the remaining ammunition makes them feel very insecure.

However, there are still some cats in the cat cart.

Lu Wei made a decisive decision and immediately arranged for people to leave the ship and sneak along the riverbed until they were far away from the transport ship before coming ashore and finding the cat car that had been hidden beforehand.

They originally planned to quietly sail to the dock, but the enemy had a keen sense of smell and quickly noticed something was wrong and began to intercept them.

Finally, under the cover of drones, the cat car was successfully driven to the temporary dock. Using the hoisting equipment left by the enemy, the car was hoisted directly onto a small boat and then transferred to the Silver Bay.

The moment they received the ammunition, everyone spontaneously smiled with relief.

Although the quantity of ammunition was limited, the variety was complete, with sniper grenades, man-portable missiles, and flying grenades all effectively replenished, making it possible to engage the enemy for several more rounds without any problem.

Lu Wei wasn't one to just take a beating without fighting back, so he immediately pulled Zhang Wei aside to discuss a counterattack plan.

"We have to give the enemy something to do," Lu Wei said. "Otherwise, they'll be bored out of their minds and just keep thinking about causing us trouble!"
