"I'll cover you, you go around to the flank and flank us!" Zhang Lei said to Su Ting.

Su Ting nodded and, taking advantage of the cover of night, quickly moved to the side of the woods. His movements were swift and stealthy, like a cheetah silently approaching its target in the darkness.

The enemy's firepower remained intense, bullets whistling past Su Ting's ears from time to time. But he did not retreat; instead, he gritted his teeth and pressed forward with even greater determination.

Finally, Su Ting reached a position only about ten meters away from the officer. By then, the officer had begun to realize the danger, but it was too late. Su Ting suddenly leaped up, raising his gun and aiming it at the officer's chest.

At that critical moment, a figure suddenly lunged from the side, knocking Su Ting's arm aside. The bullet deflected and struck a nearby tree trunk. Su Ting turned around in astonishment and saw an enemy soldier who had desperately stepped in front of the officer.

"Su Ting, watch out behind you!" Li Wei's warning came through the walkie-talkie.

Su Ting immediately turned to defend himself, only to find an enemy stealthily approaching from behind, raising his gun to fire. In a moment of urgency, Su Ting rolled forward, avoiding a fatal blow. At the same time, he swiftly swung his fist, striking the enemy squarely in the chin. The enemy immediately lost consciousness.

"Damn it, these guys are too tenacious!" Su Ting cursed, turning back towards the officer. By this time, the officer had already escaped beyond firing range under the cover of several soldiers.

"Don't let him get away!" Zhao Yang shouted.

Su Ting quickly followed, but the enemy's firepower became increasingly intense, making it almost impossible for him to get close. Just as the situation was becoming increasingly critical, a sudden, violent explosion rang out, and several rockets streaked across the night sky, landing in the enemy ranks and causing chaos.

"Now's the chance!" Zhao Yang seized the opportunity and gave the order to attack.

Su Ting and his teammates charged forward, taking advantage of the chaos to engage the enemy in close-quarters combat. Swords flashed and the scene was incredibly brutal. Although the enemy's counterattacks remained fierce, the team's concerted efforts finally turned the tide.

After the battle, Su Ting sat down on the ground to rest, panting heavily. His clothes were covered in mud and blood, and he had several abrasions on his face, but his eyes still shone with a determined light.

Chapter 320 Temporary Assembly Point

The battle finally came to an end, and Su Ting and the other team members gathered at a temporary rendezvous point.

The forest was exceptionally quiet at night, with only the occasional birdsong and faint noises in the distance reminding them that they were still in danger.

"Is everyone alright?" Zhao Yang asked in a deep voice, his voice exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

"I'm fine, just a little tired," Zhang Lei replied with a smile, rubbing his shoulders.

“I can do it too, Captain, don’t worry.” Li Wei took a breath and patted Su Ting on the shoulder. “This time, we were really lucky that Su Ting reacted quickly. If it weren’t for his punch, we would have been in trouble.”

Su Ting smiled and shook his head, saying, "That enemy soldier was too cunning. I only reacted in a moment of desperation."

Zhao Yang nodded, glanced at the team members, and only relaxed a little after confirming that there were no serious injuries.

"Everyone, take a break and replenish your energy. Our mission is not yet complete; we must find the commander's whereabouts as soon as possible."

"Captain, who caused that explosion just now?" Su Ting asked curiously. He remembered that those grenades were very powerful and were obviously not ordinary equipment.

“They’re from our side,” Zhao Yang paused for a moment. “We made contact with them before we entered this area. They’ve been secretly monitoring the enemy’s movements and provided support at crucial moments.”

"Friendly forces? I see." Su Ting suddenly realized.

Suddenly, a slight static noise came through the walkie-talkie, followed by a flurry of footsteps and whispers.

A few seconds later, a familiar voice came from behind: "Captain Zhao, is your current location safe? Can we come and meet up with you?"

"Okay, our current location is safe for now," Zhao Yang replied quickly. "What is your exact location?"

"We are about two kilometers southwest of you, and we will arrive in fifteen minutes," the other party replied.

“Okay, we’ll wait for you here.” After turning off the walkie-talkie, Zhao Yang turned to his team members and said, “It’s Lin Tao’s group. They’ll be bringing some important intelligence. Su Ting, you and I will go meet them.”

Su Ting nodded, got up, and left the temporary assembly point with Zhao Yang.

The two moved quickly through the night, using the faint light of their flashlights to find a relatively open area to wait for Lin Tao and his group to arrive.

About ten minutes later, a series of rustling footsteps came from ahead. Lin Tao appeared with two team members; they looked exhausted, but their eyes shone with determination.

"Team Leader Zhao, Su Ting, what's the situation here?" Lin Tao asked as he stepped forward.

"It went fairly smoothly," Zhao Yang briefly recounted the battle, "The enemy has been temporarily repelled. Do you have any new information?"

Lin Tao sighed and took out a map from his backpack, spreading it on the ground.

"According to our intelligence, the enemy commander is currently hiding in this valley."

He pointed to the area marked in red on the map, "The terrain there is complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it won't be easy for us to get close to our target."

"Looks like this is going to be another tough battle." Su Ting stared at the map, a sense of tension rising in his heart.

Zhao Yang pondered for a moment, then finally looked up at Lin Tao: "What suggestions do you have?"

"I think we should split into two teams. One team should draw enemy fire from the front, while the other team should flank around to the rear and launch a surprise attack," Lin Tao said earnestly.

“This plan is feasible,” Zhao Yang nodded in agreement, “but we need to be careful in our deployment to avoid unnecessary casualties. Su Ting and Li Wei, you two will team up with Lin Tao, and Zhang Lei and I will be responsible for drawing the enemy’s attention away from us.”

The group discussed the specific action plan and assigned tasks to each other. Time passed slowly, and soon, the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon.

"Let's go," Zhao Yang said softly, leading the way towards the designated location.

The group proceeded along the dense forest path, everyone on edge. Just as they were about to reach the valley entrance, Su Ting suddenly heard a faint sound ahead.

"Stop!" Su Ting whispered, gesturing for everyone to take cover.

Everyone quickly hid in the bushes, cautiously observing what lay ahead. They saw several enemy soldiers patrolling, armed and alert.

Chapter 321 Faint Struggles

Su Ting held his breath and carefully observed the soldiers' every move through the gaps in the leaves.

At this moment, Zhao Yang tiptoed over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

“There are a few patrolmen ahead,” Su Ting said in a low voice. “Should we take a detour?”

Zhao Yang narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "We can't waste time. We're very close to our target. We need to take them out quickly."

Li Wei chimed in from the side, "I can try to sneak in and take them out; I'm good at operating in the shadows."

Zhao Yang nodded in agreement: "Then it's up to you. But remember, be careful and don't alert them."

Li Wei nodded, slowly retreating to the back of the group and quickly disappearing into the surrounding darkness. Su Ting and the others remained silent, closely watching the movements ahead.

A few moments later, several muffled sounds came from afar, followed by faint struggling sounds. Then everything returned to calm.

"It's done," Zhao Yang said in a low voice, leading the way forward slowly.

The group walked through the woods and arrived at the location where the enemy soldiers had been. Sure enough, they saw several patrolmen lying on the ground, unconscious.

Lin Tao watched this scene, gave Li Wei an approving look, and said, "Well done."

Li Wei waved his hand modestly: "This is just the basics."

Zhao Yang pointed ahead: "We can continue now. But we must remain vigilant and be ready for battle at any time."

The group proceeded cautiously and soon arrived at the mouth of the valley. The terrain was indeed complex, with dense forests all around and several rugged paths leading in different directions within the valley.

"According to the map, we should take this path," Lin Tao pointed to a narrow mountain road on the right.

Zhao Yang nodded and led the way forward. The path was winding and steep, with precipitous cliffs on both sides; a slight misstep could send one tumbling into the valley below.

After walking for a while, Su Ting suddenly stopped and whispered to Zhao Yang, "Captain, there are obviously more traces here. The enemy must have laid an ambush."

Zhao Yang nodded: "That's right, we must be more careful. We should try to stay hidden and avoid being exposed prematurely."

The group continued along the path, everyone on edge. Suddenly, a commotion of footsteps approached from not far ahead, followed by hushed conversations.

"Stop," Zhao Yang commanded in a low voice, and everyone immediately found a place to hide.

Through the dense foliage, one could see a dozen fully armed enemy soldiers gathering, seemingly discussing their next move.

Su Ting whispered to Lin Tao, "Their numbers are greater than we expected, which is not a good thing."

Lin Tao frowned: "It seems we need to change our plans. We can't force our way in anymore, or we'll suffer heavy losses."

Zhao Yang pondered for a moment, then turned to Lin Tao and Zhang Lei: "You two take a group of men and flank the enemy from the left side of the path, looking for an opportunity to attack their rear. Su Ting, Li Wei, and I will launch a frontal assault."

Zhang Lei nodded to indicate that he understood, and then led a few people to quietly leave the group and flank the enemy from behind along a hidden path on the side.

The remaining men waited in place for their chance. Su Ting watched the enemy's every move with bated breath, his heart pounding. He felt a sense of oppression, but also a strong fighting spirit burning within him.

Finally, when Zhang Lei and his team successfully reached the enemy's rear, his signal came through the walkie-talkie: "Ready to move out."

Zhao Yang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Okay, let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led Su Ting and Li Wei out of cover and launched a fierce attack on the enemy ahead. Gunfire instantly echoed through the valley, and a fierce battle broke out.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the enemy turned to fight back. However, Zhang Lei's forces also launched an attack at the same time, and the enemy's defenses were quickly breached, plunging them into chaos.

The battle was extremely fierce, with bullets flying like rain. Su Ting and his team worked closely together to eliminate the enemy one by one.

Despite being outnumbered, they gradually gained the upper hand through clever tactics and superb combat skills.

Chapter 322 A Precise Hit on the Target

After a fierce exchange of fire, the enemy's defenses began to crumble. Su Ting and Li Wei followed closely behind Zhao Yang, advancing relentlessly.

Zhao Yang brandished his blade and charged into the enemy ranks like a tiger. His movements were swift and fierce, and he could take down an enemy with almost every attack.

"Keep up!" Zhao Yang shouted commands as he fought, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings for the enemy's weaknesses.

Su Ting followed closely behind, firing his gun incessantly, each bullet hitting its target with pinpoint accuracy.

His heart was racing, his adrenaline was surging, but he remained unusually calm in every movement during the battle.

Suddenly, an enemy lunged at him from the side. Su Ting nimbly dodged, then kicked the enemy to the ground, followed by a shot.
