Chapter 557 Something Strange Happened!
"What?!"
"What's going on?"
Hearing these horrifying words, the nearby soldiers looked over.
In the dense canopy, there is nothing unusual at first glance.
"There's someone up there!"
The soldier repeated it again.
"Where is there?! I didn't see it!"
A soldier next to him asked again in confusion.
But at this moment, before his voice completely stopped, he saw a stabbing sword fall from the treetop in vain, hitting the man between the eyebrows.
Only a muffled groan was heard, and the soldier fell down.
The few people nearby saw all this and were horrified. There was indeed something on the top of the tree trunk!
I just don’t know if it’s a person or something else!
This horrifying scene was all reflected in the eyes of the nearby Xiaoyan soldiers!
Faced with such sudden fear, Xiaoyan's soldiers still had the courage to go up to the top of the tree to check the situation. They all stayed where they were, not daring to breathe.
All the soldiers began to panic and raised their heads to see if the treetops above their heads were safe!
"This forest is really evil! First there's the transparent swamp underneath, and then there's the weird attack on the top of the tree!"
The soldiers already felt that their neighborhood was not safe, and the atmosphere in the team began to become tense.
Di Daozhang on the side also understood that they were in a very dangerous situation, and there was a solemn look in his eyes.
But as the leader of the team, he must not show panic. Even if he is surrounded by danger, he must take it calmly and play the role of uniting the team.
He looked solemn and shouted loudly to the soldiers nearby:
"Everyone! Pick up the weapons in your hands and attack the top of the tree. There must be some object above, otherwise, they will not be able to attack us!"
"In the face of danger, counterattack is the best defense!"
After saying this, it was indeed very effective in improving the morale of the soldiers.
The panic that filled the air just now has obviously been dissipated.
The soldiers followed Di Daozhang's method and shot at places where there were hidden threats in the trees, but no substantial effect was achieved.
However, due to the attack of Xiao Yan's soldiers, the previously hidden weapons did not stop. Instead, they fired even faster, continuously shooting sharp spikes towards the bottom of the tree, stabbing Xiao Yan's soldiers fiercely.
Suddenly, a large number of Xiaoyan's soldiers were attacked like a storm. Unable to resist, they fell into the swamp.
"Damn, what is this!"
The soldiers complained incessantly.
Di Daozhang felt regretful in his heart. He didn't expect that this was a trap set by the other party. He just happened to be deceived by the other party!
Di Daozhang was very upset, but there was no time for him to breathe now.
He could only issue orders immediately.
"Everyone who can still move now! Come down from the tree immediately, hug the trunk at the base of the tree and move away from the top of the tree!"
After receiving the order, all Xiaoyan soldiers immediately started to act according to his method.
In the end, through their efforts, some of Xiaoyan's soldiers were able to escape.
But some other soldiers were still a step too late. Half of them had been injured by the spikes in the trap just activated and were transferred into the swamp.
By the time they came down to the root of the tree, the number of people had dropped sharply to more than two hundred!
"I'm lucky to have escaped! This forest is really weird. Let's get out of here quickly!"
Xiaoyan's soldiers are very afraid of this forest and don't want to stay here any longer.
"It's not like we haven't been here before. This is our Xiaoyan territory after all, but the situation before and now is completely different!"
A soldier said doubtfully.
Di Daozhang listened in his heart, and he also understood that this was their territory. Although they could not be said to be familiar with this place, they would pass by it sometimes, but today's situation was really weird!
But Di Daozhang didn't have time to think about this. His primary purpose now was to lead the team out of the forest.
According to their previous calculations, although the border of this forest cannot be seen at a glance, they have walked through it several times and have a general understanding of the route here. Normally, they have now walked about half of the distance.
So far, they have only gone through half the journey and lost half of their troops. Di Daozhang's heart aches. Not to mention that he will be angrily scolded by Dong Zhejun when he goes back. It is still unknown whether they can leave this forest alive!
The extent of this loss was far beyond his expectation!
However, they have no retreat. Next, they must continue to move forward until they find a way to survive!
The second half of the journey through the forest is relatively safe, flat and safe.
Fortunately, there were no accidents during the rest of the trip. After a stumbling march, they finally left the swamp and scary woods over there, and were only a few hundred meters away from the exit of the forest.
It also took them much less time. This was considered a smooth journey for the soldiers of the Sixth Division.
After walking for a few more minutes, they were only a few dozen meters away from the exit.
Through the dense jungle, you can almost see the battlefield where the logistics company and the second squad fought before.
There were flames over there, and the swaying shadows of trees flashed in the battlefield. Countless soldiers were lying quietly in the battlefield, a scene that was horrible to watch.
But at this critical moment, a noise suddenly came from the west.
These noises sounded like the sound of troops walking, and the sound was not small, as if they were deliberately made for Xiaoyan to hear.
"What's going on?"
All the Xiaoyan soldiers heard these noises, and the whole team immediately became nervous.
This was obviously not a good thing. This was different from the sneak attack just now. This was a blatant provocation!
Then, they heard a loud voice coming from the direction of the footsteps.
"Xiaoyan's scum! You are desperate! I advise you to surrender!"
This voice was He Chenguang!
They had been lying in ambush here for a long time!
The trap on the tree before was also carefully designed by them for this operation!
Now, Xiaoyan's men have almost all been severely damaged, and only a few remnants are left. It's finally time for them to reap the fruits of the battle!
Just now, He Chenguang had already hidden behind a huge rock in the distance of the woods, secretly observing Xiaoyan's every move.
Of course, the traps on the trees were also set by them, just to make these people.
And just a few minutes ago, they seized the opportunity of the other party falling into a passive position, immediately launched an attack, and launched a fatal blow to the other party.
Although the number of the logistics company is only about 100, they are now elites who have been resting and recuperating. Although the other party has a considerable advantage in numbers, it is already a severely hit army, and it is difficult to compete with He Chenguang's troops in the front.
He Chenguang and his men acted very quickly. Without waiting for Di Daozhang's people to react, they surrounded them from all directions and surrounded them in secret.
"Logistics company?"
Xiaoyan's soldiers were shocked.
"Sure enough, the trap just now was set by you guys!"
"Hahaha! You guys are really slow to realize it."
He Chenguang said from a distance.
"Stop talking nonsense, today, this is your grave!"
He Chenguang had no intention of letting them go, all the battles today were to annihilate Xiaoyan's troops.
After saying that, He Chenguang immediately launched an attack.
Bullets sprayed out from all directions, like bursts of sparks, rippling in the night sky, instantly rendering it bright and transparent.
Di Daozhang's reaction was also very fast. Although they had just lost nearly half of their people, it was still no problem to adjust their team and welcome the battle.
He drew his handgun and fired a shot into the sky. The sound of the gun immediately resounded throughout the venue, drowning out everyone else's voice.
Di Daozhang shouted loudly:
"All the soldiers of Xiaoyan's Sixth Squadron, as long as you have a breath left, we will fight to the end for the organization!"
"Now, we have been forced into a dead end, with no way out. Tell me, what are you going to do?!"
"To become a corpse in humiliation, or to fight to the death here, fight for the organization to the last moment, and become a glorious sacrifice!"
"We are willing to fight to the end for the organization! Never retreat!"
Xiaoyan's soldiers shouted in unison.
Di Daozhang's clear determination and cohesion are indeed extraordinary.
Even the Xiaoyan soldiers who had just suffered a huge blow immediately burst out with amazing fighting power.
While avoiding the firepower of the logistics company, they also launched a powerful counterattack against them.
He Chenguang was also shocked by this powerful momentum. As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it is desperate, and this is still a living soldier of Xiaoyan's most elite Sixth Squadron!
He Chenguang did not dare to be negligent. He knew that if they chose to fight the opponent at this time, it would be very irrational.
So, seeing that the attack had little effect, he began to adopt the guerrilla tactics.
"Avoid the opponent's edge first and form a barrier around! Wait for the opportunity to attack again!"
He Chenguang whispered to his soldiers.
After all, the soldiers led by He Chenguang were also elite soldiers in the logistics company.
Although the number of people was not as good as the opponent, they were also elites in terms of individual combat ability.
"Yes!"
The soldiers under his command also understood the reason very well. Without any hesitation, they immediately implemented He Chenguang's tactics.
The number of attacking soldiers gradually decreased, and slowly turned to avoid nearby obstacles and fight with the opponent.
Although it was a temporary avoidance, it also returned to the ambush position just now, and did not reveal any flaws to the opponent, giving the opponent a chance to break through.
Di Daozhang commanded the soldiers to launch a crazy counterattack, and found that he could suppress the opponent's firepower, and was very happy.
Slowly he began to break through to the side, trying to break out of the encirclement.
However, Di Daozhang also discovered that the logistics company had only given up the attack, but the border defense network they defended was still impregnable. When Xiaoyan's soldiers tried to break through, they actually triggered the landmines on the ground, and countless casualties occurred immediately. At this time, all the soldiers did not dare to act rashly, and they were all gasping and stunned on the spot.
"Damn it! They are so cunning! They set up mines on the edge! We are trapped!"
The soldiers complained incessantly.
Of course Di Daozhang knew his current situation and was very anxious.
If we follow the current pace, our entire army will indeed be annihilated in the end.
But if they break through rashly, they will also be killed. Now they are in a dilemma.
Although their formation has powerful force, they are just beasts in a cage, waiting to be harvested.
A trace of sweat slowly appeared on Di Daozhang's forehead.
Time is running out. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them. Now he must make a decision immediately.
"How many bombs do you still have on you now?"
Di Daozhang asked the soldiers on the side.
"Not many! There are probably dozens more! We lost too many in the swamp just now!"
said the adjutant next to him.
Di Daozhang lowered his brows and whispered.
"At this point, we can only engage in a life-and-death duel with each other."
"Since the other party won't let us live, we can't make it easy for the other party. We should throw all the bombs into the opponent's formation."
Di Daozhang said decisively.
The adjutant also felt nervous.
He understood what Di Daozhang meant.
If they decide to throw bombs at the opponent, although they can cause considerable damage to the opponent, they must bear greater risks on their side.
The person who throws the bomb will be exposed to the opponent's gun, and it is unknown whether the bomb thrown will be effective.
"Captain? Do you really want to make this decision? Do you think it's okay for us to delay the time and wait for the people from the fifth team to come to rescue?"
The adjutant said reluctantly.
"No, hesitation will lead to defeat. We must take advantage of the fact that we have enough momentum to fight to the death with the opponent. If we drag it on, we will only slowly weaken and perish."
"My decision has been made, don't change it."
Di Daozhang said in a deep voice.
The adjutant sighed and could only nod silently in agreement.
He turned around and told the nearby soldiers Di Daozhang's order.
The soldiers also looked solemn. Although they knew that this operation would probably fail, no one showed any panic.
Everyone has a look of righteousness on their face.
All the soldiers who still had bombs took out their bombs almost at the same time, opened the bolts, and suddenly rushed into the defense network formed by the surrounding logistics companies, and threw them fiercely into the opponent's camp!
In an instant, the scene was filled with deafening bombing sounds!
