Chapter 30: Bloodthirsty Mad Dragon (Part 2)

Watching the tank begin to spin and finally point toward the turret of the Fifth Special Forces soldier holding the signal flag, Zhanxiage's eyes widened in shock. He tossed aside his binoculars and let out a wild roar: "Lie down!" ”
"Boom!"
The 42-ton T80 tank shuddered violently, and amid the deafening noise, its 2A46 125mm smoothbore gun suddenly spat out a tongue of fire over a meter long. A 125mm caliber grenade was fired with absolute scorching heat!
Faced with this absolutely unexpected attack, the Fifth Special Forces soldier responsible for flag signaling widened his eyes. He wanted to dodge, but in this world, who could dodge a tank shell fired from within 500 meters? He only bent down slightly, and the 125mm heavy grenade shell struck his body. The shell struck his head directly. His bulletproof helmet faced the T80 tank's main gun like a child's toy, instantly torn into countless pieces. Just as his head was hit by the shell, blood and brain matter mixed and scattered in all directions, the shell suddenly exploded!
A burst of flames suddenly shot up from the Fifth Special Forces soldier, tearing his body into countless pieces that scattered like radiating radiation across the land.
Meanwhile, the T80 tank and the Russian Marine Corps' dedicated amphibious landing armored carrier carried a 7.62mm caliber machine gun and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun unleashed a barrage of fire at the soldiers of China's Fifth Special Forces Unit resting on the hillside.
Bullets struck their heads again and again, sending up a rain of mud. A Fifth Special Forces soldier, lying down, suddenly splattered blood from his shoulder blade. He lay on the ground, gritting his teeth, his whole body twisting uncontrollably. His companion, lying beside him, immediately rushed over, pulled out a first aid kit, and injected a whole tube of morphine into his body. Only then did the wounded soldier gradually calm down.
Faced with this sudden attack, the soldiers of the Fifth Special Forces were completely stunned. Yan Jun lay on the ground, raising his automatic rifle but never pulling the trigger. Within Russian territory, for whatever reason, once they opened fire on Russian troops, it could very likely turn into an unpredictable and absolutely troublesome political storm!
Yan Jun could only lie there, looking hundreds of meters away, where just seconds ago stood a living brother! After enduring the most brutal bloody battle, thinking he could finally escape the battlefield and return home, he suddenly saw the blood and death of his brothers—and they had died at the hands of those who should have been friends. This pain was the hardest to bear and unbearable!
Yan Jun pounded the ground with his fists in pain while shouting wildly, "Why?" Why? Why are they attacking us?! Aren't we strategic partners? Didn't our Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs already reach an agreement with theirs? Aren't they here to meet us and help us return to China? Why would they kill us so fiercely? Why did they open fire and kill our brothers?! ”
Zhanxiage shouted angrily, "What the hell are you still whining about?" Open your eyes and see clearly, they are not the Russian troops supporting us at all! They are Chechen rebels colluding with terrorists from the assassin organization! If they really came to support our Russian troops, would they send an armored transport that can only carry fifteen soldiers and is packed with personnel, knowing we have twenty men?! ”
Zhanxiage waved his hand fiercely and shouted, "Retreat immediately!" ”
From afar came a muffled cannon fire, and Yan Jun shouted hoarsely, "Squad leader, watch out!" ”
But he was already too late!
Although his excessive anger didn't affect Zhanxiage's judgment, as the commander of this unit, his mobility and focus were inevitably diminished when issuing orders or making inferences about the entire battlefield.
Hearing Yan Jun's wild roar, Zhanxia Ge—the most skilled and technically skilled among the Fifth Special Forces trainees—instinctively raised his head and said, "What ......?"
"Boom!!"
A grenade struck not far from Zhan Xiaoge. Facing this sudden and terrifying attack, he only had time to bend down and use his arms to protect his vital points. The vast patch of earth roared like waves in a raging sea, crashing fiercely toward him. An overwhelming force crashed into him. Zhanxia Ge's foot faltered, and he was involuntarily knocked to the ground. Immediately, his whole body was covered by a weight so heavy he couldn't struggle!
All the soldiers of the Fifth Special Forces were moved together and shouted in unison, "Squad leader......!" ”
A soldier from the Fifth Special Forces Unit lying near Zhan Xia Ge crawled over with both hands and feet, desperately trying to pull Zhanxia Ge's head out of the dirt first. At that moment, Zhanxiage could clearly feel his brother's hands trembling. He hoarsely shouted, "Squad leader, how are you? Are you hurt? Did you get blown apart?!" ”
"Pah!"
Zhanxiage spat out the dirt he swallowed and shouted, "Besides swallowing a mouthful of filthy mud, I won't die!" Who the hell am I? I'm the Nine-Lives Demon Cat, trying to kill me with a single shell? Damn it, that's way too early! ”
The soldier from the Fifth Special Forces laughed. He nodded vigorously, dropped his rifle, and desperately helped Zhan Xiaoge brush off the dirt pressing down on him. Suddenly, his body shuddered violently. Under Zhan Xiaoge's stunned gaze, he bounced up like a big shrimp thrown into hot oil.
As he involuntarily straightened up, the blood in both him and Zhanxiage instantly froze to freezing point. As he involuntarily lifted his body, Zhanxiage saw a bright blood splash rapidly blooming through his brother's chest, piercing through the now battered and tattered vest that could no longer provide effective protection!
That soldier, trying to dig the war hero song out of the mud, acted so hastily that under the enemy's vehicle-mounted light and heavy machine gun fire, he violated the battlefield rules they had heard at least a thousand times by raising his body too high!
A trace of despair appeared on the face of the Fifth Special Forces soldier. They all understood all too well what it meant to straighten up when the heavy machine gun was firing relentlessly from the vehicle.
There was no need for deliberate aiming, no extra attention—the light and heavy rounds fired from the fan, and the bullets fired from AK automatic rifles by the terrorists sitting on Russian Marine Corps' dedicated amphibious armored transport vehicles......
This elite trainee of the Fifth Special Forces, completely exposed to enemy machine gun fire, trembled as if electrocuted, blood splattering from his body. His bulletproof vest, which could barely provide much protection, was torn into more than a dozen pieces by the bullets of a 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun. Along with that, his young body was torn apart. When he finally collapsed beside Zhanxia Ge, he was completely smashed into a sieve by bullets fired from the vehicle-mounted machine gun and AK automatic rifle.
His burning blood splattered onto Zhan Xiaoge's face, and tears once again poured wildly from his eyes. He pointed at his brother and cried out hoarsely, "Idiot!" Idiot! Idiot! You're a total idiot! Why do you have to lift your body so high? Don't you know the consequences? If a big idiot like you doesn't die, then who will? I ...... I ...... I ...... Why the hell would I waste my tears over a dead idiot?! ”
Eight or nine Chechen terrorists sitting on the Russian Marine Corps' dedicated amphibious armored transport vehicle raised their AK automatic rifles, ready to fire at the Chinese soldiers together. Suddenly, a crisp gunfire rang out on a hillside several hundred meters away, and one person plunged headfirst into the armored vehicle. Before they could figure out exactly where the bullet came from, gunfire rang out again. Another rebel had a deep bullet hole in his forehead, rolling and falling off the armored vehicle.
A Chechen rebel armed with a sniper rifle jumped straight out of the armored vehicle, stretching his neck and shouting, "Watch out, there's a sniper!" ”
The remaining Chechen rebels swarmed off the armored transport vehicle, which was too easy to target. Some of them grabbed automatic rifles and smashed the armored vehicle's compartment hard.
The armored transport door opened, and a dozen or so armed bandits jumped out. Just by looking at their attire and the weapons in their hands, you could tell they were a miscellaneous force made up of terrorists from the "Assassin Organization" and Afghan guerrillas!
"Smack!"
