Chapter 624 Rescue Amidst the Flames of War! (First Update!)

The squad leader was very careful because he knew very well that their mission was to draw the attention of the other side.

Only by being extremely careful and cultivating an image of someone who wouldn't be a corrupt or reckless official can one gain the confidence to call oneself cowardly and then confidently retaliate.

In fact, to embolden the other side, he even initiated infighting among his teammates.

He slowed down the pace of the advance, while his comrades behind him created the impression that they wanted to move forward quickly. This led to a conflict between the two sides, and when they were about 300 meters away from the main gate, they simply started arguing.

Behind a few rocks, they were blaming each other, while their comrades watched as if it were a show, clapping and occasionally letting out a scream or a whistle.

All of their actions were seen by the terrorists who had just arrived at the main gate. As they had guessed, the terrorists hid behind the bunkers on either side of the main gate and carefully observed the situation of the squad.

At the same time, he didn't forget to take out his walkie-talkie to contact the rear, saying that the people here were causing trouble and that they should come over quickly and find a way to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

On the other side, the back door.

After the first squad fired their guns, the second and third squads at the back door also took advantage of the chaos in front and pulled the triggers.

Compared to the cautious and prudent role played by the squad leader, their role was that of a greedy, reckless attacker who would vie for credit with each other.

The firing positions at the back door were completely wiped out in less than a minute under the attack of 22 grenade launchers.

After eliminating these initial firing points, the second and third squads split into two groups and launched a fierce attack from the hillsides on both sides of the back door.

After advancing a distance, the two groups suddenly started arguing, and then began to hinder each other's speed.

As the speed slowed down, curses erupted from both sides.

“You guys are really animals, all you know is how to steal credit. If you had any guts, you wouldn’t have been assigned to our group.”

"You guys in Class 3 are all pigs!"

"You guys in Class 2 are the pigs!"

The soldiers were cursing at each other in front, while the squad leaders of the second and third platoons hid nearby, using drones to probe from high altitude, comparing their findings to the maps they had obtained, and specifically the red lines on those maps.

They quickly found the nearest red line, and the drone observed that the red line was marked accurately.

There were indeed bunkers nearby.

However, continued observation by the drone revealed that the terrorists deliberately avoided these areas during their relocation and reinforcement operations.

They even saw several terrorists at a very obvious three-way intersection, moving cautiously along the edge, just a little bit, about the width of a foot.

This unusual behavior was captured by the drone camera and brought to the attention of the 2nd and 3rd squad leaders.

Upon seeing this, both of them frowned slightly.

These terrorists were aware from the beginning that they had planted mines in the mine.

It is precisely because of this that this feint attack plan was devised.

But judging from the actions of these terrorists, they have planted quite a lot of mines, and it's even possible that the entire road in the mine is covered with mines.

The drone descended and finally stopped about two meters above the three-way intersection.

After observing closely for about 10 seconds, the squad leader of the second squad noticed something amiss.

This is a mine. Although it is not in operation, the construction requires the use of mining trucks. The mining trucks run back and forth, making the roads very compacted.

However, at this three-way intersection, the ground, which should have been extremely dense, showed signs of being dug in several places.

After excavation, backfilling was carried out, but perhaps because landmines were buried underneath, the backfilled soil and rocks were not compacted and look very loose.

The loose road surface contrasted sharply with the original road surface that had been compacted by the mine carts.

The second squad leader looked away from the screen and said to the third squad leader:

"I suspect there are landmines in that area!"

"What's there to doubt?" The squad leader sneered, controlling the drone in his hand to smash it directly into the excavated area where there might be landmines. In addition to their reconnaissance functions, these small drones all had self-destruct capabilities.

The drone bomb was triggered the moment it hit the ground, and with a bang, the drone was blown to pieces.

The shockwave from the explosion also successfully detonated the landmine.

Seeing that there were indeed landmines in the area, both of them looked rather grim, but at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief.

If the guess is correct, then things will be easier from here on out.

Several more small drones took off, this time without self-destructing, and instead moved frantically around the mine.

They tracked the movements of the terrorists during the attacks, and simultaneously filmed and observed the roads on the ground to see where there were signs of excavation.

These observational data were transmitted by drones to satellite networks and then to other classes.

At the entrance to the underground passage, after receiving data synchronously from shifts 2 and 3, new arrangements were made.

Sedar then began to act, leaving Class 9 to guard the entrance and set up sentries, both visible and hidden, while he himself led Classes 45, 6, 7, and 8 into the cave accessible by the exoskeleton.

The underground passage had little to no signal and was rather narrow; at its narrowest point, only one person could walk at a time.

Sedar walked in front, and after a few steps, he squatted down to examine the marks on the ground. He made sure that the marks were all old and there were no new ones before taking a few more steps forward.

After taking a few steps, he squatted down again and repeated the same action.

And so, he led his men forward slowly, until they finally appeared at the entrance to the underground mine.

He remained hidden in the darkness, peeking half his face out of the pit. At the same time, he opened the data shared by Class 2 and Class 3 to check their current location and to identify any potential minefields on the ground.

High up in the mine, outside a simply erected tent, Abdullah held binoculars, looking towards the front and back gates.

The attacks on the front and back gates continued; those outside were launching a frantic assault, while those inside were frantically defending.

However, the firepower from the outside was much stronger, while the defenders inside could only have one person die before another round could fill the gap.

After this was repeated several times, reports began to emerge that casualties were heavy and that a change in combat tactics was necessary.

The voices from the walkie-talkie were very annoying to Abdullah.

He also wanted his men to change their tactics, but the problem was that the mine was only so big. Once their defensive core contracted, others would take the opportunity to press forward and confine them to a very small area.

By then, it will truly be too late to reverse the situation.

Therefore, he decisively rejected his subordinates' idea of ​​retreating and ordered them to continue their defense using the cover at the front and back doors.

Meanwhile, the people inside the mine, under his command, kept sending reinforcements to the front and back gates.

As the number of defenders at the front and back gates increased, they actually managed to push back the offensive of Class 123 at the front and back gates. Seeing this, Abdullah was overjoyed and shouted to Hati to quickly record the scene so that he could broadcast it to the whole world.

Unlike his ecstatic joy, Hati next to him had been frowning since the start of the battle.

At this moment, it reached its peak.

So he didn't respond to Abdullah's question, and this silence annoyed Abdullah, who turned to Ha and asked:

"Didn't you hear me?"

"I heard it, but I didn't pay attention!" Hati replied casually, then continued to look towards the front gate through his binoculars.

After the reinforcements were blown up again, he turned to look at Abdullah:
"Don't you think these guys' weapons are strange? And it seems they've been besieging the enemy's stronghold while ambushing reinforcements!"

Abdullah had learned the term "encircling the enemy's stronghold to attack reinforcements" and knew its specific meaning. Therefore, when Khati reminded him, he slowly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the front and back gates again.

The other side's actions were not a so-called encirclement and suppression of reinforcements, but rather a strategy of waiting for the enemy to come to them.

The cannon in the enemy's hand is like the wooden stake they're waiting for, and their men are like the rabbits running into that stake.

The enemy doesn't attack, and they just wait for their own reinforcements to come. Once the fighting starts, the enemy opens fire, and every time they do, their own men are like rabbits that have run into a wooden stake.

He was knocked into the air.

It would be a lie to say Abdullah wasn't heartbroken to see his subordinates die one after another. These were people he had recruited from all over the world, and it had taken him a lot of effort to recruit them.

Now, all that effort has been wasted.

He wanted them to retreat, but before he could even give the order, he laughed at himself.

If everyone were to retreat into the mines, then all our efforts would be in vain.

Abdullah closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and grabbed the walkie-talkie. "Listen up, everyone! Reinforcements at the front and back doors!"

"Then get them out of there and kill them all!"

Once the order was given, the people in the mine sprang into action.

They began to reinforce the front and back doors, and even brought out rocket launchers that they hadn't used much at first.

At the entrance to the underground mine, Sedar finally checked the map and confirmed which locations had landmines and which did not.

He also observed the unusual behavior of these terrorists inside the mine.

He knew that the opportunity to safely take the hostages away had arrived!

But time is very short. If he fails to take everyone away in these short 10 minutes, then they may face mission failure.

Taking a deep breath, he pressed the microphone on his neck: "Squad 1, Squad 2, Squad 3, the terrorists in the mine are starting to move around unusually. They are probably preparing to launch a full-scale attack on you. Be prepared."

"If things don't look good, retreat immediately. Pull them back and draw them all out."

"We are now preparing to rescue the hostages!"

After giving his instructions, he turned off the microphone, waved his hand, and led the people from Class 45678 toward the house where the hostages were being held.

At that moment, the response from Class 123 also came through the earpiece:
"Platoon Leader Sedar, don't worry, if we want to run, they can't catch us!"

With those words, Sedar felt relieved and slowly picked up his grenade launcher, aiming it at the head of the terrorist guarding outside the house.

Beside him, several other soldiers also raised their grenade launchers, each aiming at their respective targets. At a single command, the grenade launcher would strike the target.

After aiming for a while, Sedar suddenly realized that the grenade launcher in his hand was a bit too powerful, so he quickly put it down and switched to a submachine gun equipped with a silencer.

Seeing his actions, the soldiers next to him quickly put down their grenade launchers and picked up the silenced submachine guns hanging on their bodies.

We must bring the hostages back alive!
Once again ready, Sedar waved his hand, and his submachine gun fired, continuing to eliminate the enemies not far away.

A fierce battle was raging at the back door, and the sound of submachine gun fire was not noticeable amidst the explosions, so no one paid attention to this area.

To prevent outsiders from entering, the people from Class 4567 slowly surrounded the house. Instead of rushing in, they quickly cleared the surrounding area to prevent anyone from hiding in the shadows and taking sniper shots.

While cleaning up, they also made sure to set up the jamming devices they carried with them.

Better safe than sorry; if there's a cell phone remote-controlled bomb inside, we're doomed.

After the jammer was installed, a group of people squatted outside the house and listened for a while. When they didn't hear any unusual noises from inside, Sedar divided the four classes into four groups and prepared to open the door!
Before they could act, the door was opened from the inside, and a terrorist with a gun slung across his shoulder opened the door, stood in the doorway, and began to urinate.

Sedar glanced at him, then swung his right hand forcefully. Immediately, a soldier from the 4th squad rushed out, stepped forward, grabbed the terrorist by the throat, dragged him to the ground, and punched him in the head.

With the aid of a powered exoskeleton, this punch killed the terrorist instantly.

At the same time, soldiers from other squads took turns advancing and rushing into the room.

The rapid charge brought the gunfire to a crescendo, which then quickly faded away.

When Sedar entered the room, several terrorists were already lying haphazardly on the floor.

Behind these terrorists, by the wall, were more than twenty people crouching.

Seeing the group of twenty-odd people, Sedar's heart skipped a beat. He wished he could rush out right now and kill all the terrorists who had planned this attack.

Because these twenty-odd people were all carrying bombs.

A remote-controlled electronic bomb!
In that instant, Sedar was extremely grateful that the operation had brought a jammer. After expressing his gratitude, he quickly reassured the people who had bombs strapped to their bodies.

These people became very agitated upon seeing them, and two of them even scrambled over to get closer.

Sedar quickly stepped forward to stop them and calm them down. At the same time, he also told his comrades to take action and disarm the bombs.

Although there were many bombs, the wiring and manufacturing process were crude. Therefore, with the help of soldiers from several squads (4567), they were able to disarm the more than twenty human bombs strapped to people in less than 20 minutes.

With the bomb defused, Seidar immediately shouted, "Everyone, we're taking you out now. Be quiet as you go out, and don't shout even if you hear gunshots."

"Remember, the quieter it is, the greater our chances of getting out alive!"

After giving his instructions, Sedar once again took the lead and walked at the forefront.

While advancing stealthily, he didn't forget to give new instructions to Class 123:
"Turn up the firepower! We're moving the men into the mine now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the attacks from both the front and back doors intensified, and the terrorists who chased after them were easily taken down by the members of Class 123.

From the hilltop, Abdullah saw all this through his binoculars, and he felt that the people below were becoming increasingly useless.

He put down his binoculars, picked up the gun beside him, and was about to go down the mountain when he heard the sound of a helicopter rotor in the sky.
