The team members quickly sprang into action according to the instructions, each displaying exceptional focus. Su Ting personally led a few men to quietly approach the edge of the bushes, attempting to pinpoint the source of the sound.
As they cautiously advanced, Su Ting suddenly heard a slight rustling sound coming from deep within the grass, as if something was moving.
He immediately stopped and waved to signal the others to stop as well.
“Someone’s there!” he said in a low voice, slowly raising his gun to aim at the shadowy area.
At that moment, a dark figure suddenly leaped out of the bushes, wielding a dagger and lunging straight at Su Ting.
Su Ting swiftly dodged to the side and delivered a powerful backhand punch to the opponent's abdomen. The man groaned and collapsed to the ground.
"Who is it?" Su Ting shouted, pointing a gun at the other person's head.
The man clutched his stomach in pain, gasping for breath, and said, "No...don't kill me...I'm just a...spy."
Su Ting's eyes turned cold. He crouched down and removed the other person's mask. A young face came into view, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
"How many of you are there? What is your purpose?" Su Ting asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.
The young man trembled, not daring to look up at Su Ting, "We...we came to scout the terrain..."
"Who sent you? Explain yourself, or you'll face the consequences." Su Ting's finger tapped lightly on the trigger, his voice carrying a chilling undertone.
The young man finally broke down, tears streaming down his face: "It's...it's the boss...he's the bandit leader of this area...he wants to...attack the base..."
Su Ting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You'd better tell the truth, or your companions won't have a good ending."
The young man nodded repeatedly and told Su Ting everything he knew.
It turns out that this gang of bandits had been lying in wait here for a long time, plotting to attack the base.
Their purpose in sending out scouts was to ascertain the base's defensive deployment in order to plan their next move.
After listening to the young man's words, Su Ting felt a chill run down his spine.
He knew that the situation was much more serious than he had anticipated.
He stood up, looked at the other team members, and said in a deep voice, "We need to return to base immediately and report the situation."
One of the team members asked worriedly, "But what about these people?"
Su Ting answered without hesitation: "Take this spy away, tie up the rest of them, and leave some people here to guard them and prevent them from escaping."
After making the arrangements, Su Ting led the main force to a swift retreat. On the way, he said to the young scout, "Lead the way and take us to your stronghold."
The young man trembled with fear, but nodded nonetheless. He knew that in this situation, any resistance would be futile.
Soon after, the group arrived at a secluded hut.
Su Ting signaled his team members to guard the perimeter, while he led a few elite team members into the house.
The room was simply furnished, but it was filled with various maps and documents, clearly indicating that it was the command center for these bandits.
Su Ting carefully examined the document and found that it contained detailed information about the base's troop distribution and defensive weaknesses. His expression grew increasingly grave.
“We must notify the base as soon as possible and increase security,” Su Ting said to his team members. “In addition, we must thoroughly clean this place and leave no trace.”
The team members nodded and began to split up. Su Ting picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the base command center to report the situation.
After the call ended, Su Ting walked outside and looked into the distance. The night was still deep, but an ominous premonition stirred within him.
Chapter 381 Fierce Battle in the Dark
Su Ting stood outside the hut, gazing into the distant darkness, his heart heavy. He knew this was just the beginning; a much bigger storm was brewing.
"Captain, we've cleaned this place up," a team member reported as he stepped forward.
Su Ting nodded, signaling them to remain on guard. He picked up the walkie-talkie again, confirmed that the base command center had received the intelligence, and issued an order to strengthen defenses.
“We need to return to base immediately,” Su Ting said to his team. “Everyone pack your gear and get ready to go.”
The group quickly sprang into action, organizing their equipment and preparing to depart. The young scout, under the watchful eyes of Su Ting and his team, appeared unusually timid.
"Let's go," Su Ting said, pulling the scout up with his arm.
The team moved swiftly through the darkness, vigilantly monitoring their surroundings. Although no new threats appeared for the time being, everyone was on edge.
Soon after, they returned to the base. The guards had already received word, and the gates were tightly shut, leaving only a crack for Su Ting and his party to pass through. The atmosphere inside the base was noticeably more tense, with soldiers standing at their posts, ready for action.
"Captain, the command center is waiting for your report," a soldier said eagerly.
Su Ting, along with his scouts and several team members, hurriedly entered the command center and met with the base commander, Li Ming.
"Sir, we have captured a scout for the bandits and located their hideout," Su Ting reported briefly and forcefully.
Li Ming frowned, looked at the trembling young man, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure they're going to attack our base?"
“I’m 100% sure,” Su Ting said firmly. “They not only have detailed terrain information, but they’ve also planned multiple breakthroughs.”
Li Ming's face darkened, and he turned to his adjutant beside him, issuing the order: "Immediately notify all troops to strengthen defenses and prepare for possible nighttime attacks."
The adjutant nodded in agreement and quickly made the arrangements. Su Ting then led the scout to a map, pointed to the marked areas, and explained in detail the enemy's deployment.
"Sir, based on this information, the bandits may launch a multi-pronged attack. We need to deploy defenses in advance and block all possible invasion routes," Su Ting said seriously.
Li Ming nodded in agreement and immediately ordered a change in the deployment, concentrating troops in the key positions most likely to be attacked.
"Captain, you've worked hard." Li Ming said to Su Ting, "Now, you can rest for a bit, and I'll arrange the rest of the work."
Su Ting shook his head, his tone resolute: "Sir, I'm worried. I want to stay here and assist with the defense."
Looking into his eyes, Li Ming knew he wasn't joking, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, you can stay and help, but please be careful."
Su Ting nodded, turned and walked towards the door, preparing to return to his post with the other team members. Suddenly, an alarm sounded, and the entire base erupted in chaos.
"Enemy! The enemy has launched an attack!" someone shouted.
Su Ting abruptly stopped, his eyes blazing, and quickly reported to the commander: "It seems the enemy can no longer hold back; we must act immediately."
"All troops, listen to my command! Follow the original plan, defend every inch of land, and never let the enemy get any closer!" Li Ming shouted the order.
Su Ting and his team rushed to their posts and engaged in fierce fighting. Gunshots, explosions, and shouts of battle mingled together, creating a brutal battlefield scene.
At a key defensive point, Su Ting and his team fought valiantly, repelling several attacks. However, the enemy was numerous and their offensive was fierce, making the situation extremely dire.
"Captain, we're about to collapse!" a team member reported anxiously.
Su Ting gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute: "Hold the line, we must hold this position and await reinforcements!"
Chapter 382 Avoiding the Enemy's Firepower Range
Su Ting held an assault rifle, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings.
The enemy surged forward like a tide, but he remained fearless, calm, and resolute. He waved his hand, directing his team to quickly adjust their positions and meet the enemy in the best defensive posture.
Suddenly, a team member was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.
The other team members rushed to provide support, but the enemy's firepower was too intense, and they were unable to escape for the time being. Su Ting decisively ordered: "Concentrate firepower to provide cover! Rescue him!"
The team members responded immediately, and a burst of fire suppressed the enemy's offensive. Several teammates took the opportunity to drag the wounded team member to a safe place.
Su Ting quickly checked the wounded man's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not in mortal danger.
"Hold on, everyone!" Su Ting roared. "Reinforcements will be here soon!"
Just then, Li Ming transmitted a message over the radio: "Captain Su, there's a breach in the western defense line, we urgently need reinforcements!"
Su Ting's heart tightened; he immediately realized this was a crucial point. He took a deep breath and said to his team members, "You hold your ground here; I'm going to reinforce the western defense line."
After saying that, he picked up his equipment and ran wildly westward.
The base was filled with firelight and smoke under the cover of night, with gunfire and shouts echoing throughout. Su Ting moved quickly through the darkness, trying to avoid the enemy's firing range.
Finally, Su Ting arrived at the western defense line. He saw that the soldiers on the line were exhausted and barely holding off the enemy's attack.
Su Ting immediately engaged in battle, and with his excellent shooting skills and rich experience, he quickly stabilized the situation.
"Follow me!" Su Ting shouted, leading his soldiers in a counterattack. Their morale soared, and they gradually gained the upper hand.
Suddenly, a young soldier rushed over and reported nervously, "Captain Su, the enemy to the north has started attacking our stronghold with rocket launchers!"
Su Ting frowned; this situation needed to be dealt with quickly. He immediately contacted Li Ming via walkie-talkie: "Sir, we need anti-aircraft missile support; the northern defense line is under attack by rocket launchers!"
Li Ming's voice came through the radio: "It's all arranged. The anti-aircraft missile team is on its way. You must hold out until they arrive!"
Su Ting nodded, then turned and shouted to the soldiers, "Concentrate your forces and hold this breach! Don't let the enemy break through!"
Meanwhile, Li Ming anxiously watched the monitoring screen in the command center, constantly directing the troops.
He knew that the enemy was coming on strong, and the base's safety was in grave danger. His eyes were firm and cold, and every command he gave was exceptionally precise.
Just as Su Ting was leading his troops in a desperate resistance, the enemy's firepower suddenly weakened.
Su Ting was overjoyed, knowing that reinforcements had arrived. Sure enough, the anti-aircraft missile team quickly deployed and launched a series of missiles, destroying the enemy's rocket launcher positions. The enemy's offensive immediately fell into chaos.
Seeing this, Su Ting pressed his advantage, leading his troops in a counterattack that forced the enemy back several miles. The battlefield gradually returned to calm, with only sporadic gunfire remaining.
"We won!" one soldier cheered excitedly, and the other soldiers followed suit.
Although Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief, he knew the war was far from over.
He walked to a relatively safe place and sat down to rest for a while.
A soldier beside him handed Su Ting a bottle of water. Su Ting took it, drank a big gulp, and then looked at his teammates.
