Old Wang said into his headset, "Stand by, I will notify you of the launch in advance."

Xu Can: "Understood!"

For a moment, the channel fell silent, with only the breathing and footsteps of Wan Xiaofei and his two companions echoing in the background.

Click!

Li Dongshui loaded the AWM, aimed at the other side, and said in a low voice, "The wind speed shouldn't need any parameter adjustments, right?"

Xu Ge glanced around and asked in return, "Don't you have any confidence?"

"No, that's not it. My main concern is that the bullets will be affected by the turbulence in the air after they fly through the valley," Li Dongshui explained. "I need to hit the target with one shot!"

Xu Ge understood what the other party meant; he was still unsure and under pressure.

"With your current sniping skills, even with a bolt-action sniper rifle, you should be able to fire two shots in three seconds without much trouble, right?" Xu Ge asked, turning his head.

Li Dongshui was taken aback: "Of course there's no problem, why are you asking this?"

"Could you use your brain a little more? You're 1260 meters away from the target, right? At the speed of an AWM bullet, shouldn't it take about three seconds?"

"It should be less than three seconds, but that's not far off."

"Why don't you just snipe two shots in a row? Anyway, you don't have to worry about the gunshots alerting the enemy, the bullets arrive before the sound!"

Li Dongshui's mouth dropped open: "That's right! I didn't know it could be done like that. How come I didn't think of that? This is like having an extra margin for error!"

Li Dongshui's expression visibly relaxed.

For a sniper of his caliber, having one more chance essentially leaves no room for error.

Xu Ge stopped disturbing the other party's aiming and pointed the SCAR-H's scope at the exchange point in the valley below. While checking for any ambushes set up in advance, he put an earplug in his right ear so that he could hear the sound in his left earpiece more clearly.

Wan Xiaofei and the other two were all using microphones, and Xu Ge listened intently.

With his current hearing, even in this way, he would be the first to notice anything unusual around the three of them.

Whoohoo!
Crunch!

The three quickly moved towards the exchange point and soon arrived at about 30 meters in front of the enemy, whereupon they stopped.

Xu Ge moved the scope toward the three enemies and found that they were all dressed in civilian clothes.

For professional soldiers, 30 meters is a dividing line. If the distance is any closer, they will not have enough time to react if the other party suddenly attacks.

Therefore, the three members of SSG did not step forward either, but stood in place with their guns on guard, while the stretcher was placed on the snow behind them.

"Hey! We need to check if this thing is real or fake first!"

Someone across from them shouted something in Mandarin while patting the laptop hanging from their waist.

Wan Xiaofei immediately replied, "We also need to confirm the hostages' situation first!"

"Alright, then each of you send one person over!" the SSG member with the computer shouted, as he walked towards Wan Xiaofei and the other two.

Just as Wan Xiaofei was about to take a step, Xu Ge immediately pressed the earpiece: "Let Chen Wei go over, he's met Chen Tao!"

At this moment, the other four were all locking onto their respective targets. Since Lao Wang had entrusted him with the responsibility of supporting those below, Xu Ge naturally had to ensure that no mistakes were made.

He had just heard the three SSG members on the other side speaking Mandarin, and immediately had a bold idea to try.

"Chen Wei, switch the walkie-talkie to channel 2, turn off the Bluetooth headset, and turn the speaker volume to maximum!"

Xu Ge quickly said into the headset, "Once we get there and confirm Captain Chen's situation, give him the hand signal. I'll remind you when it's time to act!"

He wanted to test whether he could remotely activate wartime mode!

"Understood!" Chen Wei immediately reached out and quickly adjusted the intercom a couple of times.

Old Wang's earlier suggestion to listen to Goubao made Chen Wei no longer hesitate about Xu Ge's words, and the sound of breathing in the earpiece immediately dwindled to just two breaths.

Xu Ge didn't rush to switch his channel to 2, but continued to listen to the sounds below.

Chen Wei set off later, so the SSG member arrived in front of Wan Xiaofei and Wu Xiaoyong first.

"Where's the stuff? I need to check it first." The other person said, turning on the computer and starting to enter the password to power it on.

Wan Xiaofei and Wu Xiaoyong both stood still.

After making the necessary preparations, the man looked at Wan Xiaofei and asked, "Shall we begin?"

Xu Ge pressed the earpiece: "Shepherd Dog, stall for time, let Chen Wei confirm first!"

Wan Xiaofei slowly pulled out the laptop left by Qi Ruibiao from his backpack and said, "We also brought our own computers. If you want to check, you can use our computers; it's the same."

The man was clearly angry, his voice rising several decibels: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Why didn't you bring the computer out sooner?"

Wan Xiaofei: "I do what I want, what the hell is it to you?"

The other person immediately gripped the MP5A2's handle and glared at Wan Xiaofei: "Looks like you don't want to save people?"

Wu Xiaoyong, gripping his gun with both hands, sneered: "Looks like you don't want electronic bills either?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't do this! You're already here, right?" Wan Xiaofei immediately stopped what he was doing and began to mediate the fight.

The man was getting impatient: "Can you hurry up?!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Wan Xiaofei continued to slowly turn on the computer.

Xu Ge moved the scope toward the stretcher. At this moment, Chen Wei was almost in front of the other two enemies.

The next moment, the token appeared on its own, and the wartime mode button began to flash.

Xu Ge thought to himself, "Yes, I guessed right!"
Sure enough, the enemy can launch an attack as soon as they hear the sound!
Thinking of this, Xu Ge immediately held his breath and switched his channel to 2, instantly bringing over the sounds around Chen Wei.

Whoohoo!
Crunch!

The sounds of wind, breathing, and boots clattering in the snow all came together.

Two SSG members blocked the stretcher behind them, watching Chen Wei.

Chen Wei stepped forward: "Move aside, I need to check if the person is still alive!"

“They’re definitely alive.” One of them said calmly. “You can go see them if you want, but we have to wait for our people to confirm that what you brought is safe.”

Unsurprisingly, Chen Wei also encountered difficulties here.

Both sides were 2 against 1, and the side with fewer people was bound to be at a disadvantage. Chen Wei had already mentally prepared himself for this on the way, so he shouted, "Captain Chen! It's me, Chen Wei! Can you hear me?"

A soft groan came from the stretcher behind, but Chen Wei didn't hear it clearly. He immediately called out again, "Captain Chen, is that you, Captain Chen? What did you say?"

. . .

. . .

Chen Wei didn't hear it clearly, but Xu Ge, who was hundreds of meters away, did.

It was indeed Chen Tao's voice coming from the stretcher. He said, "I'm fine, I won't die, I can hold on!"

Xu Ge immediately switched the channel back; he was now the first person in the room to know about Chen Tao's situation.

"Old Wang, it's confirmed. The person on the stretcher is Captain Chen, and he's alive! I suggest we take action immediately!"

"Suzaku, launch immediately!" Old Wang didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order to proceed.

Xu Can's voice rang out: "Received. Launch the airborne missile immediately. Target expected to be destroyed in seven seconds!"

Old Wang shouted into the headset again: "Attention everyone, fire in five seconds!"

Xu Ge immediately glanced at the two enemies in front of the stretcher, switched the channel back to 2 and glanced at the token. The kill count next to the button was 11, which meant he could choose team mode.

Is it too extravagant to spend 10 lives to deal with two targets?

The thought only flashed through Xu Ge's mind before he chased it away. Who could care about that at this moment?

Forget about 10 heads, as long as we can ensure the safety of the rescuers, even 10,000 heads would be worth it!
Without a second thought, Xu Ge pressed the button, selected team mode, and shouted, "Chen Wei, get down!"

Through the scope, Chen Wei lay prone in the snow.

The two SSG members in front of him also heard Xu Ge's voice coming from the walkie-talkie on Chen Wei's waist, and almost simultaneously raised their guns.

Just then, Xu Ge shouted again, "Attention!"

A three-second countdown appeared on the token, and the two enemies instantly stood upright in the snow.

Gunshots rang out not far away, and everyone else had already taken action. This strange scene went unnoticed by anyone, because Chen Wei, who was closest to the gun, had just dropped to the ground.

Bang! Click! Bang! Beside him, Li Dongshui's gun also fired, indeed, two shots were fired in quick succession.

Xu Ge had already locked onto an enemy and fired three bullets without saying a word.

boom! boom! boom!
The distinctive gunshots of the SCAR-H began to echo.

Three seconds is more than enough time for Xu Ge's firing speed!
The first enemy had already fallen. Xu Ge moved his gun to lock onto the second enemy. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly saw Chen Tao on the stretcher struggle and roll to the side.

Perhaps hearing the gunshot, Chen Tao instinctively wanted to do something, but by sheer coincidence, he rolled right behind the second enemy!

In other words, at this current downward angle, if a shot were fired, the bullet would penetrate the enemy and then hit Chen Tao again, causing him to roll completely into Xu Ge's firing line.

Keep in mind that at a distance of four or five hundred meters, the penetration power of the 7.62 caliber bullet fired by this SCAR-H is at its peak, not to mention that Xu Ge was using an armor-piercing bullet!
This is the drawback of having little practical experience.

If the person lying on the stretcher at this moment were any member of either the Hidden Wolves or the Sky Wolves, they would definitely lie still and wait for rescue.

Because they had all received this kind of training, they knew that once a fight broke out, a wounded person like themselves would be of no use at all, and running around would only become a burden.

But there was no use saying these things at this point. With only a little over a second left on the countdown, Xu Ge had no choice but to lower the muzzle of his gun.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
He repeatedly pulled the trigger, shooting at the enemy's legs, while shouting, "Chen Wei, fire!"

Chen Wei was originally the only person on the field with an information gap, because his channel was on 2. He didn't understand the situation when he lay down, and he was even more confused when he heard the order to fire.

But being a member of the Sirius family, Chen Wei sat up and quickly figured out the situation. There was only one enemy struggling on the ground in front of him, so Gou Bao naturally ordered him to be the target!

So Chen Wei raised his pistol and aimed it directly at the enemy whose legs had been broken by Xu Ge.

Unfortunately, the man fell right next to Chen Tao, and Chen Wei's walkie-talkie was on speakerphone, so the enemy also heard Xu Ge's order to fire.

"If you dare to fire, we'll both die!"

The enemy grabbed Chen Tao from the snow and pulled him in front of him, pressing a gun against Chen Tao's forehead.

"Hold!!!"

Xu Ge cursed out loud, though he didn't know who he was cursing at.

boom!
Sparks flew from the snow-capped peak opposite, indicating that Xu Can had destroyed the enemy's mortar position.

The gunfire from other positions had ceased, and Xu Ge and Li Dongshui both locked their crosshairs on the head of the enemy behind Chen Tao.

"White legs, are you confident?"

"Have!"

"Okay! Then you... wait a minute!" Xu Ge grabbed Li Dongshui's scope.

He suddenly saw a faint white shadow emerge from the snow behind the enemy, and it was like a white light piercing straight towards him.

The reason it was described as indistinct was because the shadow was also grayish-white, and on the snowy ground at night, it had an almost invisible effect. Even Xu Ge hadn't seen where the white shadow came from before.

But as soon as the white figure moved, Xu Ge immediately recognized it as Bai Hu!

The white tiger was extremely fast, running wildly across the snow, getting faster and faster, and arriving behind the enemy in almost half a breath.

The next moment, two rows of sharp teeth bit directly into the enemy's wrist holding the gun.

"Ugh!!!"

clap clap clap!
Chen Wei seized the opportunity and decisively shot and killed the other man.

"Well done, White Tiger! Damn! That's awesome!" Xu Ge couldn't help but clench his fist and shout excitedly.

Old Wang's voice came through: "Take your men and retreat immediately! Sniper team, provide cover! Get the backup!"

"Damn it! Captain Chen, what are you doing running around like that? You almost caused an accident! Hold on tight!"

Chen Wei muttered to himself as he carried Chen Tao back onto the stretcher, then grabbed the handles in front of the stretcher and began running wildly through the snow, using the stretcher as a sled.

Wan Xiaofei and Wu Xiaoyong had already dealt with the enemies who came to inspect, and now they rushed over to help. Together they lifted the stretcher and continued running, while Baihu followed beside them.

Five snipers, including Xu Ge, immediately pointed their guns in all directions, closely monitoring the movements around the valley below.

We are not completely out of danger yet. We will only be safe once we cross this open area and enter the sheltered snow-capped peak.

Boom boom!
Bang bang bang!
Several smoke grenades were fired from the grenade launcher behind the three running people, instantly creating a thick, dark smoke screen.

The four people responsible for the rescue—Jiazi, 619, Ao Xiang, and Zheng Tiannan—finally arrived and immediately took the stretcher, running wildly towards the back of the mountain.

Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally brought the person over!

"We're retreating too, follow us!"

Upon hearing Lao Wang's order, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately jumped out of the snow pit and ran down the mountain.

A dozen minutes later, everyone gathered together, and Xu Ge and a few others stepped forward to lift the stretcher. Led by Lao Wang, the team headed straight for the border.

"Boss, there's an enemy regiment blocking our way. Are we just going to force our way through?" Thor warned, panting.

"It's alright, just go ahead, they won't dare stop us!" Old Wang said without turning his head.

Everyone was skeptical, but they still followed Old Wang forward.

Buzz!
Xu Ge heard the sound of the helicopter engine and knew that the border was just a few hundred meters ahead, where Yang Shaojie and Xu Can's rescue team were waiting.

But a dense mass of figures had already appeared ahead, and the next moment, a barrage of gunfire erupted.

Da da da da da!
Bang bang bang bang!
"Damn it! Get down!" Xu Ge shouted, cursing Old Wang in his mind at the same time.

[Military orders are executed 100% by regimental-level units; general skill value +11; current unit gains temporary tactical proficiency bonus.]

The token appeared on its own, and a countdown timer with a duration of half an hour appeared next to the skill bar.

Everyone immediately lay down behind cover and remained motionless, bullets whizzing overhead.

Judging from the gunfire alone, there were at least two companies of soldiers ahead.

"Damn it! Old Wang, you're going to get us killed! Let's fight!"

Xu Ge lay behind the rock cursing loudly, while also adding those 11 general skill points to his rapid-fire skill.

You can't expect someone to die before they've spent all their money, can you?
Rapid Fire: Master (121246/9999).

"Don't panic, everyone hide and don't show yourselves, our reinforcements will be here soon!" Old Wang remained calm.

"Where are the reinforcements? Captain Yang and the others are stuck outside... Huh?" Xu Ge stopped abruptly halfway through his question because he vaguely heard some sounds.

The next second, it was as if a thunderclap had appeared above everyone's heads, and the overwhelming sonic boom instantly reached its maximum.

Rumble!
Several black dots magnified instantly in the field of vision, sweeping past everyone's heads at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

Boom boom boom!
The mountains and rivers trembled, and flames soared into the sky.

Xu Ge turned around in shock and discovered that a violent explosion had suddenly occurred on the snow-capped mountain where he had stayed several kilometers away, and the entire mountaintop had been sheared off!

The night sky seemed to be set ablaze, as bright as day.

The gunfire stopped.

That destructive aura made all life on earth tremble.

"Woof!"

Startled by the commotion, the white tiger immediately burrowed under Xu Ge's thighs.

Even the usually composed Thor gaped, exclaiming, "Holy crap! Bombers are out?!"

Wan Xiaofei raised his head and muttered, "Boss, it doesn't seem to be just bombers. Those things that whizzed past just now, I feel like they're Navy J-36s!"

"Holy crap! A sixth-generation fighter jet? Is that for real?"

Everyone was in an uproar. Xu Ge finally understood why Old Wang had remained so calm, and asked incredulously, "Why is the military making such a big show of force? Are they trying to wipe out the enemy?"

No one present could see as clearly as Xu Ge. Just now, there were two large bombers and four fighter jets that he had never seen before and that were probably the latest models!

This fighter jet group actually crossed the border directly, demonstrating its superior maneuverability, and returned after destroying a snow-capped mountain.

This was arguably the biggest scene Xu Ge had ever witnessed since joining the army!
He was no longer a novice and knew that a hostage rescue operation would not warrant such a response from the military, even if they were currently besieged by the enemy.

Then there's only one possibility:

Something else has happened; the military is flexing its muscles while simultaneously intimidating the other side!
