416: There must be a trap ahead.

For a time, the sounds of gunfire and explosions were non-stop.

Xiao Niannian continuously changed locations a dozen times. The enemy snipers aimed in her direction several times but failed to hit her, while she had already taken out four snipers and several of those rushing the front lines.

"Take cover! We can't charge like this anymore. Their position is easy to defend and hard to attack. If we keep assaulting, the casualties will only increase..."

Qiao Yan's partner, Tang Shi, shouted.

Hearing this, the Team Members under him immediately took cover.

Because it was night, and they were quite far apart, plus they were all wearing ghillie suits, it wasn't easy to find them once they took cover.

Meanwhile, Squad Leader Li and Fang Qiang were sent to execute other missions.

Squad Leader Li and Fang Qiang made their way to the beach.

The Soldiers responsible for vigilance on the boat were listening to the activity on the mountain. Although they were alert, they hadn't anticipated that someone would launch a surprise attack on them.

When the bullet hit their body, the person who was hit looked in surprise at the colorful smoke billowing from them.

"We're under attack!"

He shouted loudly.

The other Team Members immediately looked around.

But smoke was rising in the distance, obscuring their view. Someone immediately ran toward the cabin, but their leg was hit by a bullet.

It hurt a bit, his expression changed, and he continued running toward the boat interior.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got onto the boat, he was pinned down.

They came out of the water?

The man was stunned. He hadn't expected enemies on the shore, enemies inside the boat, and enemies climbing onto the boat from the water.

Oh no, their boat was about to be seized by these people.

"According to the rules, you are dead. You are not allowed to speak anymore."

Hearing this, he glared angrily at the other person. He saw that the person's face was painted with camouflage grease, and besides seeing their bright eyes, he couldn't make out anything else.

He looked up and saw that the island was bustling with activity, and figures of several people were emerging on the surrounding boats.

It was over. All their boats would be lost.

This battle was likely going to be difficult for them.

The Special Forces Brigade from Yangcheng was indeed different from the others.

On an island twenty nautical miles away, in a conference room, Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li sat with others, facing several Soldiers of similar age. One person spoke.

"Old Chen, who do you think will win this time?"

Hearing this, Captain Chen snorted coldly.

"Since you ran all the way from so far, we are definitely going to win..."

"You certainly have a lot of confidence in your subordinates."

"Old Chen, you're getting a bit arrogant."

"We'll know who wins and who loses when dawn breaks."

Captain Chen looked at them and smiled. He had extreme confidence in Lu Jing. These people truly believed that because their men had obtained many new weapons and equipment from the Arms Factory and the Research Institute, they were like tigers with wings—incredibly formidable.

Their unit had been equipped with this gear even earlier than them.

Just now, these people were showing off in front of him.

When dawn breaks and Lu Jing and his team bring back good news, that will be their moment of joy.

Thinking of this, Captain Chen looked at Political Commissar Li and spoke.

"Old Li, have someone prepare some food to reward our Soldiers."

"Alright, I believe in our Soldiers."

The tacit understanding between Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li caused the two people speaking opposite them to snort a few times, and the conference room erupted into argument again.

The other few commanders sitting nearby tried to mediate.

Although Xiao Niannian disliked Qiao Yan, she knew that their Military Unit was well-equipped, and in recent years, Qiao Yan and his team had trained desperately and completed many missions very well.

Over a dozen of our Soldiers were also hit by bullets, their bodies covered in colorful smoke.

Unexpectedly, this thing she had created herself was being used on her Comrades-in-arms right after it was finished.

Xiao Niannian tried to aim her sniper rifle at Qiao Yan, but Qiao Yan remained concealed and did not expose himself. Even though she could now see clearly for ten or twenty meters, and even farther and clearer with binoculars, if Qiao Yan didn't show up, she couldn't just shoot randomly. That would only expose her own position, and the enemy snipers would definitely focus their fire there.

Although she reacted quickly, she couldn't instantly teleport away.

"Bang."

Xiao Niannian fired another shot, and the enemy Soldier was hit and eliminated.

Qiao Yan held his binoculars, looking across the way.

"This person is such a good shot, it must be Lu Jing. Focus heavy fire in that direction..."

Ten shots were fired, directly eliminating six of their Soldiers, and four other Soldiers now had injured hands and couldn't use their other hand to fight, reducing their combat effectiveness by more than half.

Their team had observers sent by the Military Headquarters, and quite a few of them. If they dared to violate the rules, and the observers wrote reports, he would be criticized by his superiors... These people wore armbands that read "Observer."

Qiao Yan hadn't expected Lu Jing to personally take action just to win.

And in just one encounter, they lost several snipers. Fortunately, he had been training snipers for years, and with the arrival of the new weapons this time, his men had been constantly feeding them bullets (training intensively). Now the snipers were very skilled, but Lu Jing's shooting ability had actually become stronger than before over the past few years.

At a time like this, Lu Jing, the Commander, wasn't properly commanding but was instead preoccupied with sniping their men.

Hmph, Lu Jing, I'll make sure you pay for this time.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Xiao Niannian had just changed positions when her previous direction was hit by concentrated fire.

Hearing those sounds, Xiao Niannian curled her lips. Although they were blanks, they still hurt when they hit you. If she hadn't run away, so many bullets hitting her would have made the colorful smoke turn her into a seven-colored parrot... Soon, Qiao Yan's men slowly advanced.

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian led their team in retreat toward the other side of the beach.

Seeing this scene, the opposing side became even more excited.

Although they were at a disadvantage initially, now they were going to win.

Xiao Niannian was also running quickly with her sniper rifle slung over her shoulder. They would first lure these people into the trap, deal with a wave of them using the trap, and then... Hehehe, Xiao Niannian felt happy just thinking about what was going to happen next.

Qiao Yan probably didn't expect that besides the great gift of bird droppings, there would be other great gifts waiting for him.

"Stop."

Qiao Yan realized something was wrong. He had fought Lu Jing many times before, and Lu Jing always battled him fair and square. Now, he was fleeing without a fight?

Could it be that the equipment and ammunition issued by the superiors weren't enough?

Or did Lu Jing have some other scheme waiting for them?

The sound from the walkie-talkie immediately rang out.

"Send people to scout ahead. There must be a trap."
