426: Three battles, three victories

"Who are you?" the other side asked in terror.

"Listen up, grandson. I am Lord Liu of Dawn Base. If you want to live, withdraw all your blocking troops immediately; otherwise, Lord Liu will wipe you out one by one." Lord Liu was in full acting mode, bragging about himself sky-high.

However, the members of the special operations squad listened and were quite impressed.

A special operations team should have this kind of temperament.

After hearing this, the other side immediately cut off communications, and there was no further word.

"Hmph! A bunch of cowards!" Lord Liu threw the walkie-talkie to the person behind him, then turned and spoke to everyone.

"Brothers! You all saw it, right? As long as we act as the eyes in front of the main force, we can throw the enemy into disarray. Let's keep doing this, charge forward!"

"Yes! Brother Liu!"

After clearing the battlefield, the special operations team immediately regrouped and headed to the next location.

There was only one road suitable for the main force to pass through on the way to the main city 500 kilometers away.

Since that was the case, the blocking squads would definitely be deployed along the way.

Places where people could hide were nothing more than hills, woods, or abandoned towns; as long as they swept through them, they would most likely have results.

Having won the first battle, Lord Liu was brimming with self-confidence, thinking that the enemy was nothing special.

Two kilometers away was a small grove. The special operations team stopped on the perimeter and activated their divine sense to scan again.

"Not good, rocket launchers! Maneuver quickly!" Lord Liu spotted a flash of light a few hundred meters away and roared immediately.

The six combat vehicles jerked their steering wheels and scattered in all directions.

Rockets exploded around the vehicles, the shockwaves causing them to sway back and forth.

But fortunately, they were bulletproof vehicles, and the personnel inside were not injured.

"Damn it, it's a good thing we came, otherwise the main force would have run into this and been delayed. The whole team, dismount and search the woods. Kill them all for me!"

Lord Liu was the first to rush out with his gun raised.

The other team members, leaving only three people to guard the vehicles, and the remaining twenty or so people all followed him in.

As long as there were no sneak attacks and it was a head-on confrontation, the enemy was no match for them.

They were slow and lacked divine sense, so they were easily beaten by Lord Liu and his men.

Inside the woods, sparks flew everywhere, battle cries pierced the sky, and screams rang out continuously.

Seven or eight minutes later, the battle was over. More than ten of the warlords' soldiers from Shanlan Province were killed.

There was originally one wounded soldier that Lord Liu wanted to capture alive, but the man detonated a grenade and committed suicide.

Enraged, Lord Liu emptied a magazine into the corpse's remains to vent his anger.

However, having won two battles, he had gained quite a lot, so he quickly reported to Pan Han.

Pan Han and Asiba were naturally pleased and told him to keep up the good work and clear a path for the main force.

Lord Liu took out his binoculars and scanned the distance.

About five kilometers away, there was an abandoned small town, covering an area of no more than one square kilometer.

A dozen buildings lay scattered about.

"This place is very suitable for an ambush, but I don't know how many troops they have arranged. There might even be artillery and other heavy firepower."

"Special operations captain, report the coordinates of that small town to headquarters and request a round of artillery coverage."

"Everyone else get in the vehicles. Once the coverage is over, we'll charge in immediately."

"Yes! Brother Liu!"

After a brief exchange, Lord Liu led his squad to prepare for the third battle.

Sitting in the car, Lord Liu smoked a cigarette leisurely, his gaze fixed straight on the small town.

Boom, boom, boom! The first wave of twelve 155mm howitzer shells landed.

Two buildings collapsed instantly, while others exploded nearby, thick smoke billowing.

"Haha! Did you see that?" Lord Liu put down his binoculars and shouted to the others.

"Brother Liu, I saw a few bodies blown away. Damn it, there really was an ambush!" the special operations team member said.

"Hehe! Let's wait until they're dazed and confused from the bombing, then we'll go in and clean up the aftermath."

Boom, boom, boom! The second wave of twelve 155mm howitzer shells.

Boom, boom, boom! The third wave of twelve 155mm howitzer shells.

Boom, boom, boom! The fourth wave of twelve 155mm howitzer shells.

After four rounds of artillery shelling, the abandoned town had become a ruined town.

"Brothers! Charge with me!" Lord Liu leaned out, grabbed a heavy machine gun, and led the special operations team forward.

In less than two minutes, the six combat vehicles stormed into the town from four directions.

They saw corpses everywhere, and quite a few people were wailing while clutching their mangled torsos.

Lord Liu and his men killed everyone they saw; they would take no more prisoners.

"For setting up an ambush! Go to hell!" Lord Liu took out one enemy with every shot, sometimes two with two shots, instantly finishing off seven or eight dying enemies.

The other team members also fired wildly, each racing to avenge their comrades.

This battle lasted for half an hour. In total, nearly 200 of the enemy were killed.

"Hmph, it looks like the enemy gathered the people from the next two or three waves here," Lord Liu said thoughtfully, looking at the corpses covering the ground.

"It's a good thing we requested artillery coverage just now, otherwise, if we had rushed in recklessly, we definitely would have suffered."

"What was the point of all this? If you had just surrendered honestly and accepted reorganization by Dawn Base, how good would that have been? You could have lived in luxury!"

"Brothers, clean up the battlefield and replenish ammunition. We'll set off again in half an hour!"

Two hours after setting out, three battles and three victories, nearly 300 enemies eliminated.

Lord Liu was very satisfied with this achievement.

"I told you I should have come out earlier. Staying at the base was really hindering me from performing meritorious deeds!"

...

"What? Big sister has already evolved to the peak of the intermediate level?" In the main army convoy, Asiba stared at Pan Han with wide eyes.

"Yes. Twelve Palaces provided the potion," Pan Han nodded.

"And Ai Li has also reached the intermediate level?"

"That's right!"

"Hahaha! Then wouldn't the three of us sisters be invincible?" Asiba was extremely excited. Back in the Daughter Country, she had fantasized about having the chance to form an intermediate sister combat team in the future. She hadn't expected it to actually come true today.

Smack! Asiba hugged Pan Han and kissed him hard.

"You brat, you really have some damn skills!"

"Thanks a lot!" Pan Han covered his mouth, which had been bitten red and swollen, and dodged to the side.

"Hehe, sorry, I was just too excited." Asiba hurriedly stepped forward to check Pan Han's injury.

"It's fine, it's fine! Just treat me better in the future. I'm setting a rule in advance: the three of you cannot come at me all at once! I can't handle that." Pan Han pointed to his kidneys and said seriously.

"Don't worry. Even if we come at you one by one, you won't be able to handle it." Asiba bit her lip lightly, looking at Pan Han with a hazy gaze.

"Alright, alright, we're in the middle of a war, be serious."

"Oh! Lord Liu just said they wiped out another 200 or so people."

"Not bad. I'll have to reward Lord Liu when we get back."

"After taking out this town, the next thirty kilometers ahead are completely flat. There shouldn't be any more ambushes."

"Then let's set up camp after we pass these thirty kilometers. With a force of ten thousand, advancing over forty kilometers in half a day is decent enough."

"Alright! But it will be dark by then, so we still need to be cautious. There might be other troubles." After saying this, Asiba looked up at the sky.

"Let's send out a few more waves of scouts tonight to patrol the surroundings."

"Yes!"
