Ten seconds later, Tong Li whispered, "Report to the captain, ready!"
"Report to the captain, ready!"
Qin Feng directly growled, "Prepare, go!"
As the words fell, Qin Feng, who had been holding back, suddenly raised his gun and fired two rapid bursts.
*Pew! Pew!*
Two faint shots rang out.
The two armed guards were shot in the forehead almost simultaneously, blood mist erupting. They died before they could understand what was happening.
Why would their own comrade suddenly open fire on them?
Then, their bodies went limp and they fell to the ground, lifeless corpses.
Qin Feng immediately rushed over, found the key on the fallen bodies, and opened the iron gate.
Xia Nan wiped the tears from her eyes and rushed over, speaking to them in the local dialect, "Don't panic, we are here to rescue you. Stay quiet, listen to our commands, and we will take you out of here."
The hostages, who had been in despair, looked at Qin Feng and his team with confusion, not yet understanding what was happening.
It wasn't until they heard Xia Nan's words that their eyes lit up with fervor. They had lost all hope. This was an armed militant stronghold, and no one was expected to come to their rescue. But now, someone had arrived and said they would lead them out. Each of them felt like they were grasping at the last straw of salvation.
The civilians sitting on the ground all stood up with a rustle and rushed out of the iron gate in a scramble.
Deng Mei looked at the armed militants with a stunned expression.
Tong Li walked up to Deng Mei and said, "We are from the 'Jiaolong' Commando Unit of Yan Country. Don't worry, we will definitely rescue you!"
Hearing this, Deng Mei suddenly looked up at Tong Li. The other woman was speaking in Mandarin, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She nodded vigorously with great emotion.
Earlier, she had watched, with her own eyes, as Xia Nan's assistant was executed, dying right before her. Her heart had been filled with despair.
Now, with soldiers from her country bursting in to save her, the feeling of being reborn from a desperate situation felt like a dream.
She thought she would never see her husband and children again, but now, there was a chance!
Xia Nan helped Deng Mei walk out. The surrounding civilians hesitated, but driven by their desire to survive, they followed quietly, not daring to make a sound.
This was their only chance to escape, otherwise, they would surely be killed by the militants in the end.
After Qin Feng opened the iron gate, he turned and strode out, simultaneously communicating, "Er Niu, Long Long, Pilot, Zhuang Yu, Xu Hong, get ready, go!"
"Received!"
Li Er Niu and the others received the order and immediately raised their guns, adopting an offensive stance.
The time for a desperate fight had arrived!
*Tramp, tramp, tramp...*
As they stepped out, the armed militants who had been drinking outside immediately noticed the unusual activity. They quickly grabbed their AK-47s, preparing to retaliate. However, Qin Feng had already raised his gun.
*Puff, puff, puff...*
The suppressed rifles emitted faint sounds. Three of the fastest reacting militants had their heads explode in a spray of blood, falling to the ground.
The surrounding militants were completely stunned.
"FuCk! They're not one of us!"
"Kill!"
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
"..."
The militants roared, and at the same time, frantically pulled the triggers of their weapons.
*Da da da...*
Intense gunfire erupted at that moment.
As the gunshots began, the militants outside suddenly heard gunfire coming from the direction of the hostage rooms and immediately reacted.
"Quick, quick!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Attack! Attack!"
"..."
The surrounding militants, armed with firearms, rushed over en masse.
*Tramp, tramp, tramp...*
The entire stronghold echoed with the sound of frantic footsteps and the shouts of armed militants as they immediately entered combat mode.
At this moment, Yang Rui and the others, who were waiting outside, heard the gunfire. Yang Rui roared, "Kill those bastards!"
Yang Rui immediately started the tank, and its massive roar instantly erupted.
This steel behemoth, weighing over sixty tons, directly blocked the entrance, its cannon pointed outwards, exuding a cold metallic sheen!
Lu Chen stood on top of the tank, manning the heavy machine gun, its muzzle aimed at the charging militants.
"Come on!"
Lu Chen roared and savagely pulled the trigger.
*Da da da...*
Instantly, the muzzle of the heavy machine gun spewed a tongue of flame, and the outgoing bullets formed a steel torrent, sweeping towards the rushing militants.
*Pa pa pa...*
The militants at the very front exploded in a shower of blood, their bodies ripped apart, instantly turning into a bloody mess.
This was a heavy machine gun; the bullets were like small carrots, exploding wherever they hit!
In the blink of an eye, at least ten militants lay dead in pools of blood.
Those who were not killed on the spot moaned in pain on the ground.
The militants charging from behind scattered like cowards, seeking cover and preparing to fight back.
However, under the fierce firepower suppression, they dared not even raise their heads.
"Ah!"
A militant had barely poked his head out before it was pierced by a bullet, exploding in a bloody spray!
The other militants became even more afraid to poke their heads out and counterattack.
While Lu Chen was firing wildly, Zhang Tiande was responsible for the rear.
*Da da da.*
A few militants who had just rushed out were immediately riddled with bullets like a hornet's nest and fell to the ground.
The fierce battle was imminent.
Under Lu Chen's heavy machine gun suppression, almost no militant could break through the wall of fire. It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but they were blocked at the gate.
At this moment, a militant brought out a rocket launcher and hid on a building about two hundred meters away. He aimed downwards at the tank's position.
These were all experienced militants, not like those third-rate rebels.
Upon discovering the enemy's fierce firepower, they all chose to conceal themselves, not confronting them head-on, and then secretly retrieved heavy weapons.
A rocket launcher was the best offensive weapon!
"Not good, a rocket launcher!"
Lu Chen, who had been firing frantically, suddenly noticed a militant on a floor ahead who had set up a rocket launcher and was aiming at his position.
Because the recoil of Lu Chen's heavy machine gun was too great, he could only fire while pressing down on the turret and could not raise it to lock onto the enemy's position.
*Swish!*
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Chen's back!
Once the rocket hit the tank, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Captain, there's a rocket launcher in the 3 o'clock direction!" Lu Chen shouted.
Yang Rui, inside the tank, heard Lu Chen's words and his face changed drastically. He was about to step on the accelerator to move the vehicle when...
*Bang!*
Suddenly, a sniper shot rang out.
Lu Chen saw the rocket launcher operator flip over and fall, the rocket launcher dropping to the side. Gu Shun's voice came through the headset: "Sniper Gu Shun is in position. Rocket launchers and machine gunners are my responsibility!"
Lu Chen said, "Awesome!"
"Not bad," Gu Shun replied with a smile, while quickly adjusting his scope, specifically targeting the militants' machine gunners and rocket launchers, eliminating all targets that threatened Lu Chen.
Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Observe carefully, we must hold on until Captain Qin and the others come out!"
"Understood!" the others replied.
Observer Li Dong was hidden about ten meters away from Gu Shun, responsible for observing and reporting any threatening targets.
"4 o'clock direction, one rocket launcher detected."
"Received!"
*Bang...*
