The team members quickly dispersed, each taking up advantageous positions, ready to meet the approaching enemy.

Just then, Qin Yue arrived at the battlefield. "Captain, the defenses on the north side are secure. I can assist you in the battle here," she said confidently.

"Okay, you'll come with me and be in charge of commanding the flank fire." Wang Gang nodded.

Liu Qiang added from the side, "Our men have already set up explosive devices at the entrance to the canyon. Once the enemy enters the ambush zone, they can be activated."

Wang Gang glanced at the map, his brow furrowing slightly. "Very good, but we must ensure the detonation is timed correctly, so the enemy has no chance to escape."

As dawn broke, the sounds of enemy footsteps and clamor finally reached their ears in the distance. Wang Gang carefully observed through his scope and saw a large number of enemies winding their way down the mountain road, their momentum menacing.

"Everyone get ready, wait for my signal before you move," Wang Gang whispered.

The enemy gradually approached, entering the pre-set trap area. Wang Gang's finger was on the trigger, his eyes sharp. "Fire!" he commanded, and immediately a dense barrage of gunfire erupted, bullets raining down on the enemy.

The explosive devices in the canyon also detonated, and the huge explosion and shockwave sent many enemies flying. In the chaos, Su Ting's reinforcements arrived and joined the battle.

Through the smoke, Wang Gang saw the enemy commander attempting to reorganize his troops, but he immediately ordered, "Qin Yue, suppress their commander with heavy firepower!"

Qin Yue quickly adjusted the firepower, and a series of rockets accurately hit the enemy commander's position, immediately raising a cloud of dust and smoke. The enemy's formation was thrown into chaos, and they began to scatter and flee.

"Zhang Wei, take a few men and flank the enemy from the side!" Wang Gang ordered. Zhang Wei immediately led several men to quietly circle around to the enemy's flank and launched a fierce attack. The pressure from both sides caused the enemy to completely collapse and surrender.

Just then, a calm voice came over the radio: "Attention all units, I am the enemy's supreme commander, requesting to negotiate with you."

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Qin Yue. "Open the passage and let him in," he said to his team members.

A few minutes later, the enemy commander was brought before Wang Gang, looking exhausted. His voice was hoarse as he said, "We are willing to cease resistance and request a ceasefire."

Wang Gang stared at him and slowly said, "What are the conditions?"

The enemy commander paused, then said in a low voice, "We are willing to withdraw from this area and hand over all supplies and equipment as a sign of goodwill."

Wang Gang thought for a moment, then turned to Su Ting and reported: "Captain, the enemy has proposed a ceasefire and to hand over all supplies and equipment. What do you think we should do?"

Su Ting's voice came through the communicator: "I agree to their proposal, but we must also be wary of traps. Make sure they pose no threat during the evacuation."

Chapter 427 Retreat Route

After hanging up the call, Wang Gang turned to Qin Yue: "Prepare to receive supplies and equipment, and at the same time strengthen vigilance. We can't let them have any chance to turn the tables."

Qin Yue nodded and quickly assigned tasks. The team members began to systematically inventory and move the equipment surrendered by the enemy. The enemy commander watched silently from the side, his eyes revealing a complex expression.

Just then, Su Ting's voice came through the communicator again: "Wang Gang, I'm on my way. We need to talk face-to-face about the next steps. How's the situation on your end?"

“The situation is stable; the enemy is willing to retreat and hand over all supplies,” Wang Gang replied briefly. “But we need to further confirm their withdrawal route.”

“Okay, I’ll get there as soon as possible,” Su Ting said. “Is there anything else that needs support?”

“It’s not necessary for now, but thank you anyway,” Wang Gang said. “What we need to do now is ensure the enemy’s retreat proceeds smoothly.”

Soon, Su Ting appeared on the battlefield. She quickly traversed the chaotic battlefield and arrived at Wang Gang's side. "You've worked hard," she said softly. "Now, we need to understand their evacuation route in detail."

Wang Gang handed her a map and pointed to the key locations marked on it: "This is the evacuation route they proposed. I think we should set up some surveillance points here, just in case."

Su Ting examined the map carefully, his brow furrowing slightly. "A good idea. We can send squads to monitor these points and act immediately if anything unusual is detected."

“Okay, I’ll arrange it,” Wang Gang replied.

Su Ting turned to look at the enemy commander not far away and said coldly, "Your men must strictly abide by our regulations. If there is any violation, we will immediately terminate the ceasefire agreement and launch a thorough attack."

The enemy commander nodded hurriedly, sweat pouring down his forehead: "We will comply completely and guarantee that we will not cause any trouble."

Wang Gang added, "We will send people to monitor your evacuation along the way, and we will react immediately if there is any suspicious behavior."

Su Ting turned to Wang Gang and said, "You must be tired too. Go and rest for a bit. I'll handle things here."

Wang Gang smiled slightly: "Alright, then take care." He walked to the side, instructed his team members to do some cleaning work, gave a few brief instructions, and then left with peace of mind.

At this time, Su Ting had already begun to deploy surveillance points along the retreat route, and she contacted each squad through communication equipment.

"Attention all units, this is Su Ting. Your mission is to monitor the entire process of the enemy's withdrawal. You must remain highly vigilant. Report any unusual activity immediately."

Each team responded immediately: "Roger!"

Then, Su Ting walked up to the enemy commander and said with a cold look in his eyes, "You should understand that this is the last chance we're giving you. Don't try to play any tricks."

The enemy commander nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we will strictly follow your orders."

Su Ting nodded, turned and walked to the side, but remained vigilant. She knew this war was far from over, and every detail could determine the final outcome.

Just as she continued working, Liu Qiang came over: "Captain, we have set up enough monitoring points in various places to ensure that no detail is missed."

Su Ting nodded approvingly: "Well done, stay vigilant. Remember, don't let your guard down until the very last moment."

Liu Qiang said firmly, "Understood, Captain. Everything is under control."

Su Ting took a deep breath, watching the retreating enemy troops, silently considering her next move. Suddenly, her communication device rang; it was an unfamiliar signal.

Chapter 428 Important Objective

Su Ting connected the communication device and asked warily, "This is Su Ting. Who are you?"

A hoarse, deep voice came from the other end of the communication device: "I am Shadow. We need to talk."

Su Ting frowned slightly. She had never heard of this code name before, but the other party clearly knew something about her. "What is it?" she asked calmly, her hand already lightly resting on the holster at her waist.

“I know you’re monitoring the enemy’s withdrawal, but there’s an important target hidden among them.” Shadow’s voice was still hoarse. “If you don’t act soon, it could cause even bigger trouble.”

Alarm bells rang in Su Ting's mind, but she remained calm and responded: "What is this so-called important goal you're talking about? Why are you telling me all this?"

“This is a high-ranking intelligence officer who possesses a wealth of crucial information about both our side and the enemy.” Shadow paused for a moment. “I can help you locate him, but you need to guarantee my safety.”

Su Ting remained silent for a moment, then quickly analyzed the situation. This so-called "shadow" was clearly an undercover agent, but whether his words were credible was still uncertain.

However, this lead cannot be ignored under any circumstances. "Okay, I'll ensure your safety. Tell me his exact location."

“I will send the detailed coordinates to your communication device in half an hour,” Shadow said. “Remember, only the two of us should know about this. If anyone else gets involved, it will only alert them.”

After the communication was lost, Su Ting immediately pulled up a map and pondered how to arrange the next step of the operation.

At this moment, Wang Gang returned and, seeing Su Ting's thoughtful expression, asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Su Ting glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "An unidentified person just contacted me, saying that there is a senior intelligence officer in the evacuation team who may pose a threat to us. He has promised to provide the specific location."

Wang Gang frowned, clearly sensing that things were not simple. "What should we do? Should we report this to our superiors?"

“Not for now,” Su Ting shook his head. “Time is of the essence, and we must act as soon as possible. This person has requested secrecy, so we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands first.”

She looked up into the distance, her gaze resolute. "Liu Qiang, prepare a small team to conduct reconnaissance and interception according to the coordinates."

Liu Qiang nodded in agreement: "Understood, Captain."

Wang Gang then warned from the side, "Be careful, this could be an enemy trap."

“I know,” Su Ting replied calmly, “but this is also an opportunity. If we can capture that intelligence officer, we might be able to gain more initiative.”

She turned to Wang Gang, her tone softening slightly, "You stay here to continue coordinating the evacuation and ensure everything proceeds according to plan. I will lead a team to investigate."

Wang Gang nodded and patted her on the shoulder in support: "Be careful yourself. I hope you can complete the mission successfully."

Su Ting smiled, turned around and walked towards the prepared team. After quickly giving a few instructions, he led them toward the predetermined destination.

Meanwhile, in a secluded grove, Shadow is sending a message through an encrypted device.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, a hint of tension in his eyes. He knew this mission was extremely risky, but it was necessary to complete it.

A few minutes later, the standard time was sent to Su Ting's communication device.

She opened it and glanced at it, then assigned tasks to Liu Qiang and the other team members: "We are currently about five kilometers away from the target. We will split into two groups. One group will be responsible for drawing fire from the front, and the other group will launch a surprise attack from the side."

Liu Qiang nodded: "Understood! Everyone proceed according to the plan."

The team quickly dispersed, each heading to their designated positions. A tense atmosphere filled the air; everyone understood the importance of this operation. As night fell, the light in the woods grew dimmer, adding to the uncertainty.

Chapter 429 Issuing Orders

Su Ting led her team through the dense forest, trying to make as little noise as possible. Each person's face was etched with focus and caution; they knew the importance of this operation far surpassed that of previous missions.

Liu Qiang whispered to Su Ting, "Captain, we're approaching the target area. Split up as planned."

"Okay, you one group will draw attention from the front, and I'll lead the other group to flank from the side."

Su Ting decisively issued the order, her gaze firm and calm. At that moment, the jungle ahead began to grow even denser, making it almost conceivable that the enemy was lurking nearby.

Wang Ming, one of the members who accompanied Su Ting on this flanking attack, asked softly, "Sister Su, if we really capture that high-ranking intelligence officer, do you think it will change the course of the battle?"

Su Ting smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with confidence. "As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we must do our best to seize it. Maybe we can really turn the tide." Her answer was full of confidence and encouragement.

The two groups parted ways as planned. Liu Qiang led four men cautiously to a high ground within the enemy's line of sight, where they set up temporary cover.

"Everyone get ready," he whispered. "Once the enemy notices something, hold your ground and give them the illusion that our main force is here."

Meanwhile, Su Ting and the other three used the terrain to their advantage, quietly circling around to the enemy's rear, proceeding with extreme caution. As night deepened, the faint moonlight cast a shadow on the ground, adding to the mysterious and tense atmosphere.

When Liu Qiang started making noise to lure them in, the entire forest seemed to come alive instantly—gunshots, footsteps, and hushed conversations could be heard in the distance. All of this suggested that their plan might be working.

"Captain, it seems the plan is progressing smoothly," said Xiao Zhang, a team member standing next to Su Ting, excitedly, but was quickly stopped by her.

"Shh! Don't let your guard down, stay alert!" she warned. Then, she quietly contacted Liu Qiang, who was waiting on the other side, via communicator: "How's the situation now?"

The other party responded: "It's safe for now. However, it seems the enemy has increased patrol density, so please be careful when approaching."
