“I’m fine. How about you?” Ye Jian smiled and asked him softly. After all… he had thrown a grenade.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t realize how much strength he had put into his grip. The intel was wrong and they had such large firepower. They got Ye Jian, a new recruit, into such a high-level battlefield. The worrisome thing was that if she got hit by a bullet.
“I’m good, your bulletproof vest is important. It can save lives.” He spoke with a smell of gunpowder. “Guard my back when I break forward later.”
Ye Jian nodded and had no objections to his arrangement. This was her first battle. She had no issues listening to his arrangements.
The two exchanged a few words and immediately went to support the heavily surrounded K7.
Two people supported him from outside the parameters. Ye Jian’s submachine gun swept the al-Qaeda members who surrounded K7. The artillery shook the eardrums of those on the battlefield. Danger was always present. Even so, they had to support their comrades.
There would only be support if no hostages were involved. However, if there were hostages, no one would provide support. Everyone would have to advance forward, even if comrades are sacrificed. That was the only way to achieve victory, to save more lives!
The day they became a soldier, they had to understand what ‘sacrifice’ meant.
K7 saw a hand stretched out. It was long and slender. Even among the dust and gunpowder, he could still see the white and delicate skin of her fingers. It was Ye Jian’s hand. It looked weak but was strong and firm.
His eardrums were hurting. The entire wall was ridden with bullet holes. If it weren’t for a grenade that he had thrown that killed six people and stunned the rest, he might have one through his body.
He took a long breath of air filled with smoke and said, “I almost thought that I would be dead. How is this a hundred? I’ve cleared more than ten myself.”
It was annoying to get the wrong intel but he had to contain his rage. The cold and silent K7 didn’t hold back on his swear words.
“At least three hundred of them. This is not an ordinary base, but a base for all the al-Qaeda members in the city.” Ye Jian grabbed his hand and pulled K7 up. “The intel is wrong. The President of Pakistan will be nervous again.”
K7 wasn’t hurt. Besides not being able to fight head-on while being surrounded, everything else was good.
After confirming that he was not injured, he immediately contacted the other two groups of members… The firepower was strong. It was fortunate that the Xueyu soldiers were Special Forces who had been through things worse than this. Besides a few wounds on their bodies, there was nothing else.
Everyone grouped up ten minutes later and Xia Jinyuan opened up the map and pointed to the South, where there had been no movement. “Contact the government forces using the satellite phone. This will be our key attack point. We shall not stay for long. Capture two hostages and retreat.”
If they stayed on when the government forces rush in, they would be fighting amongst themselves.
V8 was responsible for communication. After contacting the commander, three people suppressed the firepower while two assaulted and two advanced forward, starting their arrow formation.
Disperse, fight, group up, suppress, calm reports… In such heavy firepower, Ye Jian followed the Xueyu unit, like an arrow heading directly towards the suspected location where the Chinese were.
