I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 617 Rescue
Chen Chen never thought that he would fall on the battlefield.

That’s right, I haven’t thought about it, not that I didn’t expect it.

Before the mission began, that strong self-confidence always supported his body and brain to operate at high intensity, maintaining the most extreme and powerful state.

In that state, he even felt that he could wipe out all the enemies by himself, and he didn't even think about failure, death, or the like.

But in the end, the bullet pulled him back to reality, interrupting his invincible state.

The bad news is that pneumothorax at high altitudes can actually be fatal.

The good news is that the battle is over, and the last enemy he needs to deal with is his own injuries.

Chen Chen's chest was stabbed open by a knife, and the severe pain immediately woke him up from his coma.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar figure.

It's not a small fish, it's Pingchuan.

"Don't move, you won't die."

Pingchuan's eyes were calm and his arms were steady.

He was accompanied by an assistant, and Chen Chen was surprised to find that it was Li Bang's sister, Li Zhu.

Obviously, the latter does not have the ability to truly perform battlefield first aid tasks, but Pingchuan still brought her out, probably just to let her experience a real battlefield.

Li Zhu's performance was also quite good - at least, she was not frightened by Pingchuan's clean and neat action of cutting open Chen Chen's chest.

The cold wind blew directly into his lungs through the wound, and Chen Chen's whole body twitched uncontrollably in pain.

He asked subconsciously:
"You're going to do open-heart surgery here? You don't want me to live?"

"If I don't open your chest now, you will surely die."

Li Bang casually handed the scalpel to Li Zhu behind him, and then replied:
"Don't worry, it's just a minor operation."

"The complete operation will be done after we evacuate to the other side of the Russian border."

"You're unlucky. The last bit of kinetic energy from the bullet actually broke your ribs. The probability of this happening is less than one percent."

"But in a way, you are lucky."

"If the bullet had penetrated, you would have been dead by now."

".This bulletproof vest is unreliable."

Chen Chen complained with difficulty.

"It's not that the bulletproof vests are unreliable, it's that the bullets they use have problems."

"Try to bring the bullet back for research. Maybe we'll find some groundbreaking discoveries."

"Needle, prepare to sew."

Pingchuan said the last sentence to Li Zhu.

Li Zhu handed over the instruments deftly, while Pingchuan sutured Chen Chen's wound with great force, and then poured all the expensive hemostatic gel on Chen Chen's wound.

It took no more than two minutes from the time he arrived to the time the process was completed.

Then, he took a quick look at the condition of the other two seriously injured soldiers, gave Li Bang a simple injection of adrenaline, and immediately started to treat the other soldier with a ruptured spleen.

Without any unnecessary movements, the abdomen was opened with one cut, the spleen was removed with one cut, and then the bleeding was stopped with hemostatic forceps.

His purpose of saving people is very simple, as long as they are alive, it doesn’t matter whether they are good or not.

In just five minutes, as the Georgian military's Su-25km left, the team also began to evacuate to the north.

Chen Chen was lying on a stretcher, bumping along the way. He was in a very bad condition and could even feel his life slipping away. However, under the effect of a large dose of adrenaline, his consciousness was extremely clear, to the point of being "excited".

"What's the situation now? Where should we retreat to?"

Although every time he spoke, it would put extra strain on his injured lungs, he really couldn't control his urge to speak.

Shi Dakai on the side first glanced at Pingchuan, and after he nodded in confirmation, he answered:

“This place is 12 kilometers away from Elbrus National Park as the crow flies. We have to cross the entire mountain range to reach Camp .”

"But don't worry, you don't need to run on your legs."

“After we get down the mountain, there will be snowmobiles to pick us up, and we will reach the nearest passable road in half an hour.”

"Once we get to the road, we'll change cars right away and we'll be at the campsite in twenty minutes."

"There are helicopters and medical teams there to pick you up. Don't worry, we will make it in time."

Shi Dakai said "don't worry" twice in a row, but in fact he was not saying it to Chen Chen, but to comfort himself.

Obviously, he was more worried about Chen Chen's injury than Chen Chen himself, because he always felt that Chen Chen's injury this time was closely related to himself.

As a team leader, Chen Chen should have stopped charging into battle.

Even if he had to fight on the front line, he shouldn't carry out such a dangerous and highly confrontational mission.

I should give him the task of dealing with SSSG and take over his position as the front-line commander.

If that were the case, the person lying on the stretcher now would be me.
-
But there are no ifs in this world.

At that time, I didn't know how fragile the SSSG could be, and I didn't know how strong the troops Davis deployed on the mountain could be.

We are fully prepared.

Heavy weapons, defense weapons, and supply support.
For the first time, we even had the intelligence advantage over them.

But even so, it can only be considered a tragic victory.

Mission accomplished, that's all.

Shi Dakai had even secretly made plans in his mind. If Chen Chen fell here, he would do nothing after taking over the Dongfeng Corps and just deal with the Americans.

Looking at Chen Chen, whose mind was already somewhat blurred, Shi Dakai continued:
"The Georgian side is tightening border controls, and their army units are moving from Mestia to the border."

"We are only a few minutes ahead of them. If something unexpected happens, everyone must speed up."

"You have to hold on. You might have to run down by yourself."

After hearing Shi Dakai's words, even Chen Chen, who was already unconscious, couldn't help but want to curse.

Should I run down by myself?

Are you kidding me?
He's already injured like this, if he does any more strenuous exercise he'll probably die on the spot.

The joke was inappropriate, but Chen Chen couldn't ask for more from him.

At this time, the entire team had passed the side ridge of Mount Ushba and began to descend in altitude. In the air, two Su-25KMs that had completed their ground attack missions had not yet left, as if they wanted to use their high-altitude advantage to search for enemies on the ground.

Once they discover them, the team on the ground will have no chance of counterattacking.
-
To put it accurately, there was no chance of escape, let alone fighting back.

But soon, Chen Chen, facing the sky, discovered that the two ground attack aircraft suddenly turned at an astonishingly sharp angle and then quickly fled to the other side of the mountain.

This scene suddenly woke him up, and he asked:

"What's going on? Why did they leave?"

Shi Dakai looked back at the fighter jet flying away and replied calmly:

"It was hit by the fire control radar."

At the same time, on the other side, in Xiaoyu's office.

During these two days, all her other work was basically suspended, so all her energy was focused on the mountain and the ongoing tasks on the mountain.

Due to the high confidentiality and sensitivity of the mission, all intelligence and information are avoided as much as possible from being presented on paper. Even if paper materials exist, they will be destroyed quickly.

Therefore, there were no documents piled on her desk, which was unusual. Instead, there was only a bare desk and two cups of completely cold tea. Sitting opposite her was her teacher, her former superior, and now, the two were talking as equals.

Xiaoyu frowned. After listening to the other party's report, she waved her hand to interrupt the other party who was still describing more details, and said directly:

"We don't need to discuss so many details now. What I'm concerned about now is whether the Dongfeng Corps team can be withdrawn."

The words that were about to rush to the man's throat were blocked by her. After a two-second pause, he finally opened his mouth to answer:

"Based on the current situation, it's hard to say."

"But being alive is not a big problem."

"From what I understand, the shipwreck was already badly injured in the previous operation, most likely due to lung problems."

"The response team has already given him emergency medical treatment. You know Pingchuan. In his hands, even if the devil wants to sink the ship and kill him at three o'clock, he can still survive until five o'clock."

"However, as you said, the biggest problem now is not staying alive, but retreating."

"You have only been in this position for a short time, but the means you have used are too radical."

"Let's not talk about the Dongfeng Corps blowing up the SSSG base. Just talking about the radar illumination issue, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

"The Georgian military is already on high alert, and if they are hit by the fire control radar again, they may go directly into a war."

"The cost of doing this is too high for us."

“But if you don’t do that, the cost will be even greater.”

Xiaoyu interrupted him again and said:
"I don't have any personal feelings involved in this matter."

"You actually know better than me that the shipwreck must survive this mission."

"If he dies, the entire Dongfeng Corps will inevitably fall apart. The situation we have worked so hard to build and the path we have worked so hard to explore will immediately vanish into thin air."

“Don’t say I can’t accept it. Even the higher-ups, after investing so many resources, would never allow such a thing to happen.”

“So, this issue does not need to be discussed.”

"Besides, the fire control illumination is just an illusion. We didn't really send fighter jets over there."

"What's the difference?"

The man couldn't help but laugh:

"You said it was electronic interference, but they determined it was fire control illumination. Wouldn't the consequences be the same?"

"It's different. At least we can exclude Russia from this matter, and the situation will be limited to a relatively controllable range."

Xiaoyu answered without question.

".Even if what you said is right."

The man shook his head helplessly and continued:
"But how are you going to deal with the situation that follows?"

"Someone will take care of the finishing touches."

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"The Georgian side seemed to have suffered heavy losses, but in fact they only lost an SSG team of less than 30 people."

"This incident can be completely blamed on the Abkhaz armed forces. They are radicals to begin with. Isn't it normal for them to do such a thing?"

"You push it? The Abkhaz armed forces are seeking to join the Russian regular army. At this point, are they willing to take the blame?"

The man asked again.

"Now is the time to stand in line."

"This issue does not need to be discussed in depth. In short, Abkhazia will definitely recognize it, and Georgia will definitely accept this result."

"It is impossible for our work to be risk-free from beginning to end. I think we have been spoiled by the Dongfeng Corps. We always think that we can easily solve many difficult problems with their strength."

"But really, isn't that how we did our job before they showed up?"

"Gambling, fighting, there are losses and gains, but it never stops, right?"

".really."

The man sighed and finally nodded.

"Let's leave the finishing touches for when the finishing touches come."

"Now, if you have any plans, you'd better let me know first."

"You know, I need to be responsible for internal communications. I at least need to have the right to know about resource allocation."

"I plan to send the wreck directly to Saudi Arabia for treatment."

"Saudi Arabia?"

The man frowned and asked:

"With the resources we have now, flying from the border to Saudi Arabia requires three transfers, which takes at least 40 hours. He won't die, but he won't be able to survive that long either."

“Why didn’t you fly to Turkmenistan as originally planned? The medical conditions there are definitely enough for him to survive.”

"But there is no guarantee that he will fully recover."

Xiaoyu said decisively:

"We don't want a shipwreck that is barely alive. We want a shipwreck that can recover and continue to maintain control over the Dongfeng Corps and continue to lead them to do great things."

“So, he has to go to Saudi Arabia.”

"I have contacted the medical team so he can undergo surgery immediately after landing to ensure he gets the best treatment and recovers in the shortest possible time."

"What about the route? What about the plane?"

The man continued:

"Resources are a big problem. We don't have that many available resources. Can you really create a plane out of thin air?"

"This plane also needs to fly over the airspace of Georgia, Turkey and Iraq. How do you coordinate that?"

“I’m uncoordinated.”

Xiaoyu took a deep breath and then said:
"I'll let the Americans coordinate."

"It's done. From now on, no matter how disgusting they are to the Dongfeng Corps, we have no choice but to accept it."

"They have to take some real action. I don't need their planes. The Russian side will provide them."

"I just need them to coordinate with the three countries to open their airspace and let this plane pass through."

"If the plane fails to land in Saudi Arabia, all the blame will be placed on them."

"We already have three cards in our hands against them. After weighing the pros and cons, they will probably choose to keep the shipwreck alive rather than letting us play all three cards."

".Understood."

The man nodded and replied:
"I'll arrange the plane, and you deal with the Americans."

"no problem."

Xiaoyu answered decisively, and from that moment on, everyone had only one goal left.

Keep the wreck alive.

This massive rescue became the final link in this mission.

No one can predict the final result, but Xiaoyu is very confident. She believes that Chen Chen will not fall here.
