Chapter 123 Rescue

Lu Yan didn't want to report it earlier because he understood Su Tianbei's personality, so he stopped him, saying, "You are the regiment commander, you need to be in charge of the overall situation! Leave Mr. Zhou to me, I'll go rescue him!"

Su Tianbei waved his hand and said, "No! Old Zhou's position is too important, he can't be allowed to have an accident! And Xiao Rou, she's Mingyuan's fiancée. If something happens to her, how will I explain it to Mingyuan?! Besides, the main force is retreating. By the time you gather people and go back, how long will that take? It'll be too late!"

"Regiment Commander!"

Lu Yan wanted to persuade him further, but Su Tianbei had already opened the combat instrument, locked onto the direction of the combat platoon, and waved at the guard company beside him: "Follow me!"

"Shua shua!"

More than a hundred soldiers from the guard company, all carrying automatic rifles, began a rapid march along the winding mountain road towards the target.

Lu Yan sighed, knowing that he couldn't stop Su Tianbei, and had no choice but to lead the soldiers around him and rush over as well.

...

At this time, on the mountain road.

Behind a rock, soldiers from a combat platoon were holding their guns, desperately resisting the enemy's attack.

They had lost count of how many rounds of fire they had withstood, and many of their comrades' bodies already lay around them. Only six or seven people remained in the entire platoon, leaning against the rocks, their eyes red as they continued to fight.

Wen Xiaorou was taking care of the seriously injured Zhou Tonghui, her face filled with worry.

Zhou Tonghui was covered in blood, his left cheek had been blown open, and his consciousness was somewhat blurred.

"Da da da!"

The platoon leader fired a burst outwards, shouting, "Miss Wen, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, reinforcements will be here soon!"

Zhou Tonghui regained some consciousness and muttered, "No... no reinforcements..."

...

Down the mountain road, Su Tianbei led the guard company, rushing all the way up the mountain.

While running, Su Tianbei continued to give orders: "Keep the formation spread out, don't concentrate too much! Take out all the grenades and throw them at the hidden spots, to prevent the enemy from setting up sniper positions!"

"Da da da!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sounds of gunfire and grenade explosions rose and fell. The team encountered almost no resistance and advanced very smoothly.

Su Tianbei felt that this attack was easier than he had expected, so he began to observe the surrounding dense forest, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

At the same time, in a hidden dense forest, Yuan Biao lay on the ground, holding a large sniper rifle, aiming at the direction down the mountain, and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone, don't move! Even if a grenade lands on your head, you are not allowed to get up! Share my position with the whole team, everyone, slowly move towards my direction!"

"Received!"

A response came from the communication channel.

Not far away, only seven or eight members of the Marine Corps were holding their guns, continuing to provide fire suppression towards the rocks where Zhou Tonghui and the others were located.

"Boom boom boom!"

Another wave of grenades cleared the way, and Su Tianbei led his troops closer to the forest. He glanced ahead and found that there was only one firing point near the rocks. Although he was very worried about Old Zhou's safety, he quickly reacted and waved his hand, saying, "Stop advancing!"

The entire force stopped immediately, holding their guns and spreading out, waiting for the next order.

Su Tianbei glanced around and ordered again, "Something's not right. Fire illumination rounds into the forest!"

"Yes!"

A row of soldiers picked up signal guns and quickly fired a dozen illumination rounds into the forest ahead.

"Shua shua!"

These illumination rounds quickly rose into the air, instantly lighting up the entire forest as if it were daytime!

But still, no figures could be seen in the forest, only the weeds on the ground swaying in the wind.

At this time, Lu Yan walked over, and said anxiously to Su Tianbei, "Regiment commander, let me go! You know how important Mr. Zhou is, and so do the enemies! The entire unit still needs your command, you can't fall into the enemy's trap!"

Su Tianbei looked at the direction of the rocks, knowing that Zhou Tonghui and the others were close at hand, so he gritted his teeth and said to another officer, "Tell the soldiers protecting the dependents in the surrounding area to temporarily put down what they are doing and send reinforcements here! You must get them back! Third Platoon, Fourth Platoon, point your guns backwards, hold the line, and protect our retreat later! Everyone else, get ready to charge with me!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers under his command quickly took action.

After the troops were ready, Su Tianbei picked up his automatic rifle, waved his hand, and said, "First Platoon, Second Platoon, clear the way ahead! The rest of you, charge with me!"

The entire guard company immediately took action. Some people cleared the way in front, and the soldiers behind followed, spreading out and constantly advancing towards the rocks.

Just as they were halfway there, Yuan Biao, who was lying in the forest, saw that the people had arrived, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle.

"Bang!"

A bullet pierced through the air, instantly penetrating the body of a soldier who was responsible for scouting the way, blowing a hole in his chest, and sending him flying backward.

"Pa!"

The bullet continued through, blasting apart the trunk of a tree behind him.

Seeing the soldier fall, Su Tianbei reacted quickly, shouting loudly, "There's a sniper! Immediately deploy smoke to block the enemy's line of sight!"

"Shua shua shua!"

The soldiers of the guard company quickly pulled out the smoke grenades from their waists, and a thick wall of smoke rose up, blocking the view between the two sides.

After completing a kill, Yuan Biao shouted, "Close the net! Before their reinforcements arrive, you must leave Su Tianbei here, this is the last chance!"

"Da da da!"

The two sides began a fierce firefight across the smoke screen!

Although Su Tianbei led his troops to react in the first time, the enemy had set up an ambush, and the firepower was very dense! They charged forward twice, losing two platoons of troops, and still failed to break through the enemy's defense!

A large number of bodies were left on the ground, and blood flowed down the hillside.

...

"Da da da!"

"Boom boom!"

The fierce gunfire awakened the dazed Zhou Tonghui again. He mustered his strength and looked outside the rock, and found that Su Tianbei was leading his troops, desperately trying to save him.

Zhou Tonghui was moved, although he didn't understand military matters very well, but his mind was definitely clear. He knew what the enemy's purpose was in leaving him here.

So, Zhou Tonghui used all his strength and shouted outwards, "Tianbei! Don't fucking come over! I'm surrounded by people! They left me here to deliberately lure you out!"

After shouting, Zhou Tonghui coughed loudly, even coughing up blood.

The two sides were close at hand, and Su Tianbei heard Tonghui's shout. Anxious, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Don't move, don't shout, wait for me to rescue you!"

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Brothers, charge with me one more time, we're almost there!"

"Kacha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tianbei cocked his rifle and was about to lead his troops forward!

"Bang!"

Lu Yan rushed over, grabbed him, and threw him to the ground, roaring at him almost hysterically, "Can't you see it yet? It's impossible to save him! Do you want to die? Wake up! You are the commander of the Independent Regiment, Su Tianyu's brother! If you die, who will command the troops? What will we use to trade for you?! Calm down!!"

At the same time, Zhou Tonghui looked at the fallen bodies around him, and also broke down, crying and shouting, "Don't come over! It's my fault, I trusted the wrong person and led these enemies here! Tianbei, I beg you, you... you go back, these dependents can't be abandoned!"

Regret, pain, despair...

Various negative emotions filled Zhou Tonghui's heart. With his intelligence, he had already guessed where the problem lay.

"Fuck!"

Hearing Zhou Tonghui's shout, Su Tianbei punched the ground heavily! Lu Yan pulled him and shouted, "Regiment Commander! Our mission is to escort the families of the military personnel! We must ensure their safety! Don't wait here to die, come with me!!"

Seeing that the enemy's troops had not charged for a long time, Yuan Biao felt that things had changed, and immediately shouted into the communication channel, "All troops, at all costs, increase the encirclement and suppression! We're almost there, hold him down!"

The surrounding troops no longer fired from hidden positions, and emerged from their hiding places, surrounding Su Tianbei's troops.

"Go!"

Lu Yan knew that they couldn't wait any longer. He pulled the red-eyed Su Tianbei, dragging him away! At the same time, he ordered the soldiers, "The two platoons responsible for holding the line, come up and cover our retreat!"

"Yes!"

The troops readjusted again, and the soldiers retreated while fighting, retreating down the mountain and converging with the First Battalion on the flank.

"..." Knowing that he had lost the opportunity to rescue, Su Tianbei could only give up in hatred, and followed the troops to break out of the encirclement.

As they fled, they could still faintly hear Zhou Tonghui's shouts behind them: "Go... hurry up and go..."

Su Tianbei turned his head, looked unwillingly in the direction of the rocks, and clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.

...

Three minutes later, the sound of gunfire gradually faded away.

At the rocks, the guard platoon that had been desperately resisting was shot to death, leaving only one young soldier leaning against the rock, continuing to fire.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, the soldier's head exploded in a cloud of blood, and he fell to the ground.

Wen Xiaorou and Zhou Tonghui also lay on the ground, watching the densely packed Marine Corps, who were quickly surrounding them.

Zhou Tonghui gritted his teeth, dragging his heavy body, and picked up a pistol from the ground beside him.

He knew his rank, and what he would face if he was captured, so he thought of suicide!

"Bang!"

Just then, a flashbang grenade was thrown over and exploded!

A flash of white light flashed, Zhou Tonghui's eyes were filled with white, and he was stunned.

...

In the Old Mo area, a plane landed in a safe place. The cabin door opened, a cold wind blew in, and Su Tianyu, who had just arrived, suddenly felt his eyelids twitch wildly, and a sense of irritability rose in his heart...
