Lu Baizhou was about to give a hand signal to the team to detour around the bushes by taking a high slope to the right.

At this critical moment, when everyone was on edge, an accident happened!

Not far behind Lu Baizhou, a very faint "crack" sound suddenly came, but in the dead silence of the morning forest, it was as loud as thunder!

That was the sound of military boots snapping dry tree branches!

Lu Baizhou's heart sank, and his muscles tensed instantly. He turned around abruptly, his fierce gaze sweeping over him like that of a cheetah.

In the ranks, a young soldier who had just joined the company this year and lacked combat experience stepped on a loose, moss-covered rock while going downhill.

The young soldier slipped and instantly lost his balance.

He slid down the steep, muddy hillside with a "whoosh" and lost control!

The young soldier's body slammed heavily against the trunk of a dead tree, breaking several thick branches and producing a series of loud cracking sounds.

Overwhelmed by intense pain and terror, the young soldier lost control and let out a short, terrified cry: "Ah—!"

Although he reacted immediately and covered his mouth tightly, that short cry of surprise was enough to be fatal in the empty and quiet morning valley!

The sound not only echoed through the mountains and forests, but also reached the ears of the enemies in the villages below!

There was absolutely no time to react. Almost the instant the young soldier cried out in surprise, an extremely sharp and piercing whistle suddenly rang out from behind the row of wooden houses on the east side of the village!

"Enemy attack!! There are people on the mountain!! Fire!!"

Accompanied by a roar in a thick accent, a deafening gunshot erupted from the bushes below!

"Bang bang bang—! Boom boom boom—!!"

Countless bullets, like a storm, trailing dazzling flames, swept wildly towards the direction where Lu Baizhou and his group were!

The enemy's firepower was far more intense than the intelligence had predicted! They had not only rifles and submachine guns, but also two heavy machine guns!

Bullets struck the tree trunks and rocks around Lu Baizhou and his group, sending wood chips and gravel flying everywhere. The dense barrage of fire was like a giant scythe, threatening to reap all life on the hillside!

The meticulously planned ambush operation was ruined by this fatal mistake! They are now completely exposed to the enemy's powerful firepower, with no cover whatsoever!

Amidst the hail of bullets, Lu Baizhou displayed terrifying composure and formidable command skills. Without the slightest panic, he shouted: "All hands on deck! Take cover! Fire hard! Suppress their firepower! No one is allowed to charge forward! Await signals from the flanks before proceeding!"

The well-trained soldiers did not panic at all; they immediately rolled on the spot and hid behind thick tree trunks and hard rocks.

With the "click-clack" of the bolts being pulled back, the soldiers quickly leaned out halfway, raised their steel rifles, and launched a fierce counterattack at the enemy positions below that were spitting fire!

Gunfire erupted throughout the valley, filling the air with smoke. Bullets whizzed through the air, making a chilling "whoosh" sound. Leaves and branches overhead were mercilessly torn apart by bullets, falling like rain.

Lu Baizhou curled up tightly, hiding behind a towering ancient pine tree that would take three people to encircle. He didn't even blink as enemy bullets pounded against the trunk and bark fragments rained down on his head.

Through a gap at the edge of the tree trunk, he peered intently, like an eagle, at the enemy's firepower distribution below.

The enemy force definitely numbers more than twenty! At least thirty or more! Moreover, their heavy firepower is highly specialized.

The two heavy machine guns were not concentrated together, but were cunningly positioned by the enemy on high ground with unobstructed views on both sides of the village. These two machine guns formed a crossfire, like two giant scissors, effectively blocking all routes of Lu Baizhou and his men's downward advance.

If they dare to show their faces, they will be riddled with bullets in an instant.

But Lu Baizhou was no ordinary man! Even in such a desperate situation where he was completely suppressed by firepower, he remained absolutely calm, searching for that fleeting glimmer of hope.

Instead of blindly firing back, he quietly lay in ambush behind an ancient pine tree. In a lull between a frenzied barrage of enemy fire, he suddenly poked half his head out, his sharp, piercing eyes quickly scanning the smoke-filled battlefield.

In just half a second of observation, he accurately locked onto the enemy's main firepower point, which was the most intense and threatening!

"Three o'clock!" Lu Baizhou quickly ducked back and shouted to a soldier hiding nearby, "Directly below, slightly to the right at three o'clock! That heavy machine gun position on that high ground! Keep a close watch on it!"

The heavy machine gun was spitting fire wildly, the deafening roar of gunfire making it impossible for the soldiers to lift their heads.

But Lu Baizhou knew that even the most powerful machine guns would eventually run out of magazines and need to be reloaded!

"Everyone, listen to my command!" Lu Baizhou's eyes were terrifyingly cold, like a tiger about to pounce on its prey. "Keep your eyes on that heavy machine gun! The moment it stops firing, even for just a second during its reload, everyone concentrate your fire and fire hard! Smother its machine gun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm Lu Baizhou's judgment, the heavy machine gun below, which had been firing wildly, suddenly made a "click" sound as it went into idle.

The gunfire stopped!

That was a brief break when the machine gunner had emptied his ammunition belt and was frantically changing to new ammunition!

"Now! Attack!"

Lu Baizhou let out a thunderous roar.

Almost at the same instant, his strong body, like a fully drawn bow, suddenly jutted out half of itself from behind the ancient pine tree!

Even as the enemy's other firepower continued to sweep across the battlefield, bullets whizzing past his scalp, his hands did not tremble in the slightest.

He raised the heavy military sniper rifle, pressing the butt firmly against his right shoulder. His right eye was pressed tightly against the scope, and in a fraction of a second, the crosshairs locked onto the chest of the enemy heavy machine gunner below, who was bending down to change his ammunition belt!

The sounds of gunfire around him seemed to disappear at that moment; in Lu Baizhou's world, only the target in the crosshairs remained.
