Chapter 1 A Close Shave

Xiao Ke led a team, quickly running a few steps towards the sound of gunfire. Faintly, he could see several gunmen shooting on the hillside.

"Take cover!"

He shouted, and several gunmen immediately leaned against the nearby rocks or behind trees, dodging the bullets coming from the opposite side.

"Da da da!"

The bullets continued to rain down, hitting the surrounding tree trunks and splashing bits of bark.

The gunmen who were closing in on the cave were also restrained to some extent and had to slow down their offensive pace, taking evasive maneuvers.

Xiao Ke's brain was working fast; there were enemies in front and behind, but he didn't know who was on either side.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Team One, immediately deploy drones to check the situation on the hillside first, see who's there, and suppress the opposing firepower! Team Two, continue to attack the cave entrance for me, at all costs, take them down as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The team quickly split into two groups. One group of gunmen found cover, set up their guns, and opened fire towards the hillside to suppress it.

However, their position was relatively low, shooting upwards, making it difficult to aim, with blind spots in their field of vision.

At the same time, a gunman squatted on the ground and released a drone, which quickly flew towards the hillside.

The other group continued to carry their automatic rifles, stepping forward to attack the cave.

"Grenades! Throw them all inside for me!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

More than a dozen grenades were thrown into the cave, causing earth-shattering explosions inside, with rocks constantly falling!

...

Su Tiannan and the others hid in the cave, holding automatic rifles, bracing themselves and continuing to shoot towards the cave entrance, resisting the enemy's advance!

Although the cave was large, they couldn't withstand the enemy's fierce attack for too long.

"Chief Su! I'm running out of bullets!"

"Me too, I only have one magazine left!"

The surrounding guards shouted at Su Tiannan one after another.

Su Tiannan himself didn't have much ammunition left, but there was no way out now: "Everyone, be careful to conserve ammunition! When it's gone, we'll fight them with knives!"

Others were not important; their primary target was Su Tianyu! If he died, the entire military and political situation of Dragon City would collapse instantly.

"Pa!"

All the gunmen quickly executed the order, immediately turned around, turned their heads and left the cave, heading straight up the mountain!

...

Inside the cave, Su Tiannan sat on the ground, blood still flowing from his leg.

Hearing the sound of gunfire fading away, the people in the cave felt a sense of relief.

A member of the delegation couldn't help but cry with joy: "They're retreating! They're retreating!"

Su Tiannan frowned, his face gloomy, and shouted, "Are you deaf! Xiao Yu lured them away!"

The member of the delegation was stunned, and his face turned ugly.

"Tear!"

Su Tiannan tore off his trouser leg and, without taking the time to clean his wound, directly tightened it around the wound to stop the bleeding.

At the same time, he turned his head and shouted at the guards, "Who has any bullets left, give them to me, I'm going to save my brother!"

...

At sea, a row of fighter jets had already flown over the Thousand Islands.

In a leading aircraft, the captain of the Air Force's First Brigade was looking down.

Just then, a warning came from the "United Alliance Region" control tower on the communicator: "Warning, warning! Air formation ahead! This is the United Alliance military zone, please withdraw immediately! Withdraw immediately! Repeat, warning, warning..."

The captain glanced at the communicator, ignored it completely, and continued to search for the target location.

...

Meanwhile, in a coastal base of the United Alliance.

Because radar detected the Hua district warplanes, alarms blared throughout the base, and red lights flashed continuously.

A little Japanese vice admiral stood in the command room, watching the data displayed on the big screen, and directly issued an order: "Let the fighter jets on our Rising Sun Fleet take off immediately and expel them according to normal procedures!"

He paused and added, "However, our side must not fire first!!"

"Yes!" The officer immediately went to convey the order.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Soon, on a landing aircraft carrier near the base, more than a dozen fighter jets quickly slid along the runway and rushed into the sky in the blink of an eye!

...

Hua district, East Aviation Base, Sun and Moon Island.

In the operations center, the commander-in-chief of the Sun and Moon Island base stood in front of the big screen with his hands behind his back, also observing the real-time data displayed on it.

At this moment, a staff officer strode in and saluted him: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the Rising Sun Fleet of the United Alliance has been dispatched, and the fighter jets on it have taken off!"

The commander-in-chief did not issue an order after hearing this, but turned to look at Fu Zhen next to him, giving an inquiring look.

Fu Zhen crossed his arms and said proudly, "The Commander-in-Chief has spoken, actually block them, shoot them directly!!"

The commander-in-chief's spirits were lifted, and he picked up the communicator and issued an order: "The Second Brigade of the Air Force, meet the enemy's air force, escort them all the way, and drive them out! The Sun and Moon Island Fleet, the Salt Island Fleet, cross the border at full speed, and let them loose!!!"

"Yes!"

The military order was quickly conveyed, and on the sea, more than thirty warships broke through the waves and sailed towards the waters of the United Alliance at full power!

...

At the same time, in the skies over the Thousand Islands, more than a dozen fighter jets from the Rising Sun Fleet had caught up and were escorting the Flying Eagle formation.

They turned on the communicator and were warning the Flying Eagle formation: "Warning! Immediately withdraw from our military waters! Warning! Immediately withdraw from our military waters!"

The Flying Eagle formation ignored them completely, and the dozen or so fighter jets from the Rising Sun Fleet could only continue to escort them.

A little Japanese captain sat in the cockpit, hearing the wingman's report: "Captain, the other side has no response!!"

"Continue to escort them, use tactical maneuvers to harass them, and force them out!" the captain ordered immediately.

"Yes!"

More than a dozen fighter jets began to perform tactical maneuvers, forcing the Flying Eagle formation to leave. Some dangerous maneuvers could easily cause the other plane to crash!

On the plane of the Flying Eagle formation, the captain frowned, turned on the communicator, and ordered: "Number Two, the little Japanese are chasing too closely, leave that side to you."

"Roger." The voice of another team captain came from the communicator, and he quickly issued instructions to his team members: "Everyone, pay attention!! The building is on fire!!" (idiom meaning trouble is coming)

"Bang bang bang!"

Soon, red flares exploded in the air, like blossoming fireworks!

More than a dozen fighter jets from the Rising Sun Fleet were quickly affected and forced to change course.

At the same time, with a few loud roars, a large number of Second Brigade Air Force fighter jets appeared, with two fighter jets sandwiching one of the enemy's, escorting them in a locked-down manner!!

Directly holding them, forcing them to change course!!

The entire sky was instantly in chaos, a chaotic mess!

...

"Bang bang bang!"

On the sea, dense signal flares shot into the high sky!

"Wuwu--"

The two major fleets pressed towards the Thousand Islands waters! All the warships sounded long siren sounds!

White waves rolled on the sea, and dozens of Hua district fleets rushed into the Rising Sun Fleet, conducting a blockade escort, completely blocking all the enemy fleet's exits!

At the same time, the First Brigade Air Force was not hindered in any way and flew directly to B11 Island.

At the East Aviation Base, the commander-in-chief picked up the communicator and said succinctly, "Fighting is the business of the troops, and cleaning up after the fight is the business of the diplomatic department! It's not for us to consider!! Two major fleets listen to my command, if the enemy takes any offensive action, no need to ask for instructions, fire directly!!! Absolutely cannot let them hit us first!"
