The battle has already begun within the Casaro border. The special operations squadron and the special police squadron have dispatched more than 100 people, who rushed into the dense forests on both sides of the road and began to block the escape of the Chi army.
At the same time, helicopters and garrison soldiers sent from Longcheng were also encircling the escape point of the Chi army.
This level of confrontation has escalated into a small-scale military conflict, and the combatants on both sides are almost all professional soldiers.
In the dense forest.
Zhao Weihu ran while holding the headset and commanding: "Attention, the rescue personnel, the helicopter is not approaching, don't shoot, and expose the firepower in advance. They may be above us, out of our firepower range, suppressing and entangled!"
"receive!"
"The scattered troops should charge outwards in platoon-level units on their own. The first commander must ensure the integrity of the team!"
"receive!"
When the Chi army was evacuating according to the plan, a helicopter not far away had already flown over at a low altitude. The commanding officer on the pilot plane ordered all armed helicopters to turn on their thermal energy detection equipment and aim their machine guns at the red dot area on the screen, ready to go!
Rescuing the hostages is no longer the first goal. The order received by the garrison is to capture as many soldiers involved in the hijacking as possible. Therefore, the helicopters in the sky will not distinguish who are the hostages and who are the bandits at this moment. As long as they see the red dot, they will just shoot and that's it!
If Zhao Weihu had merely issued the hijacking order and acted with restraint, not harming those corrupt officials and those public officials who only knew how to extort money, he would definitely not have been able to rescue Lao Huang and the soldiers captured along the Sinaloa coast at the first scene.
If no one is killed, the Longcheng command department will not be intimidated and will not negotiate with the bandits!
But even if so many people were killed, that large district will not compromise. If the troops don’t even have the ability to handle emergencies in the main city, how can they explain to the people!
So conflict is inevitable, and Zhao Weihu is well aware of this. He knew there would be a fight before he came, and he also knew that he might not be able to get out, but he has done it, and there is no regret!
When the helicopter formation approached the forest, the Chijun contact personnel immediately shouted in the intercom channel: "Report, the enemy helicopter has entered our attack range!"
"Wait a little longer! Wait until they get closer!" Zhao Weihu roared.
“Da da da…!”
As they were talking, the rotary machine guns and heavy machine guns of seven or eight helicopters simultaneously aimed at the mountains and woods and began to fire indiscriminately!
Deafening sounds of gunfire echoed in the sky. From a bird's-eye view, the dense forests in the mountains were smashed into pieces, and tree trunks as thick as an adult's thigh were swept down one after another. The heavy tree trunks fell with a crackling sound, stirring up clouds of dust. The branches and leaves poked through the wet soil on the ground, making the whole place a mess.
The number of casualties in the Chi Army increased sharply, but most of the soldiers' formation remained in place. Instead, they dispersed in rows and continued to flee towards the rendezvous point.
…
In the dense forest in the opposite direction of the Chi army's escape, Su Tianyu looked at the helicopter in the sky. For a moment, it was as if he had returned to the independent battlefield in his dream. This feeling was too familiar, with the roar of guns and screams. The only difference was that this time he had no comrades, only burdens.
Su Tianyu reached out and grabbed Li Mingsheng, saying in a low voice: "Mayor, they should have infrared thermal energy detection equipment. We can't run around, otherwise we will be targeted by helicopters and they will think we are fleeing bandits and start shooting us. It would be too unjust for us to die."
Li Mingsheng looked at him, panting: "You were the one who leaked the rescue plan?!"
"No, they were prepared in advance. I was shot in the leg." Su Tianyu replied, pointing at the gauze on his thigh.
Li Mingsheng had a messy hair and was panting heavily as he looked at Su Tianyu. He asked in a low voice, "Then why did they let you go?"
Su Tianyu had already thought of the lines: "Our Longcheng government troops wanted to force a fight, and the hostages were gone. We had some connections with the Chi army, so they did my boss a favor and let me go."
This answer is a bit far-fetched, but with Li Mingsheng's intelligence, he would not question Su Tianyu to the point of asking questions under such circumstances!
No matter what Gou Liuzi's previous motives were, at this moment, he was obviously on Li Mingsheng's side and wanted to save him.
"Mayor, let's wait for the helicopter to arrive, and then move to the periphery to find our soldiers who are encircling and suppressing the Chi Army." Su Tianyu whispered again: "I was a soldier, I can take you back."
Li Mingsheng glanced at Su Tianyu with a complicated look, his lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.
Su Tianyu looked at his expression and thought that this big shot was scared to death, because he had seen with his own eyes in the independent battlefield how those military civilian officials and government officials who had connections in the city behaved when they really entered the battlefield, so he comforted him softly: "It's okay, there are only three of us. Under the helicopter's thermal energy detection equipment, we are just a very small red dot. As long as we keep our distance, the danger is not high!"
Li Mingsheng nodded at him and didn't reply.
Secretary Lu squatted behind Li Mingsheng and cursed in a low voice: "Commander, this fucking supervisory committee is inhuman. We are doing things for them and making achievements, but they don't even think about it and just force the fight... They don't consider our safety at all."
Li Mingsheng glanced at him and said, "Follow Xiao Su."
"Brother Su, what I just said to you was an unintentional remark made in a hurry. Don't take it to heart." Secretary General Lu reached out and patted Su Tianyu on the shoulder: "Your family is fine. We were afraid that you would be threatened by the bandits, so we sent people to protect you! The people who went there were all called by me, and they are safe."
Su Tianyu glanced at the other person coldly, and said with a smile: "You have to follow me closely for a while, otherwise this guy doesn't have eyes, and someone might shoot and hurt you!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Secretary-General Lu adjusted his dirty glasses and nodded with a smile.
After that, the three stopped talking. Li Mingsheng hid behind a tree trunk, staring at the helicopter in the sky. His face was pale and he seemed very nervous.
After a while, the helicopter finally flew over everyone's heads, and the gunfire around became sparse. At this time, Li Mingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go!" Su Tianyu stood up and greeted the mayor.
The three of them ran together. Su Tianyu pointed in the direction of Longcheng and said, "Over there, I heard the gunshots coming from there. If we pass through the forest, we will definitely run into our own soldiers!"
At this moment, Secretary Lu was following behind. Li Mingsheng glanced at him and whispered, "Don't run towards the arresting troops! We will go back by ourselves!"
"Ah?!" Su Tianyu looked at the other party in surprise.
…
Above the forest, the helicopter team saw that the enemy's counterattack capability was weak, so they immediately lowered their altitude again, flying almost close to the treetops, giving the enemy the most powerful firepower suppression!
Zhao Weihu ran in front of the team, looked at the position of the helicopter in the back, and immediately shouted: "Fuck, these people don't know why we are called the Chi Army! Bright guys, face to face and attack the air! Go and take down these flies!"
After the order was issued, the support personnel hidden in the mountains and forests immediately lifted the gray cloth that was used to prevent thermal energy detection and directly fired at several surface-to-air gun mounts and more than a dozen RPGs!
"Fight!" The Chijun staff officer who was commanding remotely shouted hysterically.
In a dimly lit warehouse in Longcheng City, a dozen men stood together, staring at a makeshift large screen and whispering.
Only people in the room know the function of this "small command center", and it is not officially established.
