192: The bullets were flying wildly overhead.

Xiao Niannian led her people forward quickly. Lu Jing had given her Fang Qiang, He Yong, and three other outstanding individuals.

These people didn't carry backpacks; instead, they were lightly equipped, wearing ghillie suits and carrying bullets, grenades, and other items.

Xiao Niannian quickly spotted several stragglers. After careful observation, these few were not the four Experts and the two villagers leading the way.

She saw that these people were more than ten meters away from the ones in front, so she decided to act.

She imitated a monkey's call.

A few seconds later, Xiao Niannian made her move.

"Bang."

A muffled thud sounded, and the person fell to the ground.

As soon as Xiao Niannian acted, she heard another muffled thud.

This meant Lu Jing and his team had also made their move.

These few people all fell to the ground and rolled into the bushes.

This was the secret signal agreed upon by Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing. When she used this signal, Lu Jing and his subordinates could act.

Instructor Qin led his comrades-in-arms, following Uncle Lin along a small path, running wildly. Their plan with Lu Jing was to cross the river and set up an ambush.

They had already reached the other side of the river and successfully outran those people.

Instructor Qin led his people to the small hillside. This was indeed an excellent location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, just like where those two people had discovered them before.

All of them were wearing ghillie suits. Hiding here, next to the bushes, they wouldn't be discovered at all.

Soon, they saw people appearing on the other side of the river.

Instructor Qin looked through his binoculars.

He saw a group of people carrying guns, with several carrying makeshift stretchers. He saw two white-haired Old Comrades lying on the stretchers.

Of the other two older comrades, one was being held captive, his hands tied with rope, while the other comrade was merely being held at gunpoint.

"Rest here for five minutes, then cross the bridge. After crossing, blow up the bridge and make the people behind swim across..."

Brother Hu spoke of his plan.

Brother Lei looked around but found nothing amiss. He took out his binoculars and scanned the surroundings again.

After several minutes of looking, he still found no abnormalities.

"Where are the others?"

Brother Hu suddenly noticed that several of their men were missing.

"Brother Hu, those few might have been injured and are walking slowly."

Someone replied.

"Call out names, see how many are left?"

Hearing this, his subordinate immediately nodded.

"Reporting, Brother Hu, there are still thirty-two people."

Thirty-two people?

Seven people were missing?

"Fire a signal flare."

Brother Hu felt a little uneasy, and Brother Lei spoke up.

"Bang..."

Several consecutive sounds.

These were their communication signal flares, different from the previous ones, only fired in times of danger.

Xiao Niannian had heard The Monkeys talk about signal flares. They had already obtained several signal flares, and she took out a matching one.

She looked at Lu Jing, who nodded at her.

After a while, Xiao Niannian took out a signal flare and fired it into the sky.

Hearing the sound of the signal flare and seeing the flare in the sky, which was exactly as they had agreed, Brother Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

These few people must have just been a bit slow.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have known to use this secret signal.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing's group were now less than fifty meters away from them.

Many people's guns were already aimed at these bandits.

Xiao Niannian's gaze fell on two very simply dressed individuals in the crowd, their clothes patched in several places, their skin dark.

These were Brother Lei and Brother Hu from the photos, standing together at this moment.

They were talking, and Xiao Niannian watched them smoke, but the distance was too far to hear what they were saying.

Although she understood lip-reading, the distance was too great, so she could only watch through binoculars.

Xiao Niannian took out a mirror and used it to transmit information to the people on the opposite side.

Soon, there was a response from the other side.

Xiao Cui gestured to the people on the other side.

Instructor Qin on the opposite side looked at this intelligence, and his face instantly changed.

The Experts had bombs on them, and the bandits also had bombs... He immediately relayed the situation.

Just then, someone suddenly noticed something flash.

"What flashed?"

Brother Hu heard this, his face instantly changed. He was naturally suspicious and immediately shouted.

"Not good, their snipers must have arrived."

Brother Lei's face also changed dramatically.

"Hurry, we can't stay here. Run to the bridge."

"You guys shoot at the mountain..." Brother Hu ordered loudly.

Everyone prepared to run towards the bridge.

"Bang..."

Dozens of people concentrated their fire, shooting into the bushes and trees on the mountain.

They fired as they retreated.

"Take cover."

"Take cover."

"Get down."

...Seeing their situation was wrong, Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian spoke at the same time, and several observers also chimed in.

Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, and the others all lay on the ground, with bullets flying wildly overhead.

The birds in the forest were startled and flew up.

After a burst of gunfire, Brother Lei and Brother Hu were not far from the bridge. They looked at the situation in the mountain through their binoculars.

But there was nothing, except monkeys jumping and calling everywhere in the forest, and birds flying around in fright... "Did you see a flash just now?"

Brother Hu asked the subordinate who had spoken earlier.

This person was now doubting himself. Had he been mistaken?

"I don't know."

The man looked at the grim-faced Brother Hu and Brother Lei, so scared that his legs were trembling slightly.

"Slap."

He was slapped hard.

"Idiot."

The man, having been slapped, dared not speak and lowered his head, covering his face.

"This bridge cannot be left; it still needs to be blown up."

Several of Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing's people had already quietly submerged into the water from the bushes.

Xiao Niannian saw that several soldiers were already in position, and she gestured to Lu Jing.

"Fire."

"Bang."

Several people fell down consecutively.

At first, Brother Lei and Brother Hu's attention was still on the birds and monkeys in the mountains. Seeing their subordinates fall, their expressions immediately changed.

"Not good, run!"

Someone shouted.

"They're chasing us!"

"Run!"

"Grab the Experts, use them as shields in front..."

Brother Hu shouted.

But he also retreated a bit himself; he didn't want an explosion to cost him his life.

When Brother Lei heard the explosion, he had already calculated the range and even threw some landmines onto the bridge. Not only that, he quickly took out fishing line and began to lay landmines.

This bridge must be blown up; if not, they would all die here today.

As long as this bridge was blown up, they could at least delay for more than half a day.

By then, the Military Unit and Public Security would definitely not be able to catch up with them.

"Whoosh."

Brother Hu heard the gunshots and reacted. Why were these gun sounds muffled, and quieter than usual? What was going on?
