Chapter 411 - 404: Variables
Gao Yuan quickly arrived at the edge of the battlefield, and then he saw the fight wasn’t as intense as he had expected.
Two tanks were already on fire, but as he looked around, he couldn’t see a single person.
The enemy’s vanguard indeed consisted of five tanks, along with five armored personnel carriers. By now, the infantry from the armored vehicles had dismounted and were firing continuously in several directions, while the tanks’ main cannons swiveled back and forth, hesitating to fire.
Gao Yuan felt he had been spotted, so he immediately turned and ran. Then, as expected, bullets swept across his previous position.
Just as Gao Yuan had drawn the enemy’s attention, a loud swishing sound erupted from a thick cluster of grass, and then Ashraf tossed aside his empty rocket launcher and sprinted to one side. But after only a few steps, he rolled onto the ground and scurried to hide behind a tree.
A tank’s main gun immediately aimed in Ashraf’s direction, roaring as it fired. The trunk of the big tree where Ashraf had sought cover was blasted to smithereens.
But just then, intense gunfire suddenly burst from the enemy’s flank and rear. Machine guns and automatic rifles continuously fired, taking down the infantrymen sheltering behind the two armored vehicles.
It was only then that Gao Yuan realized that Li Jingang and his group hadn’t been together at all; they were spread out very wide, attacking the enemy from both sides and even from behind.
In terms of numbers, the enemy had an absolute advantage, but now they had fallen into an unfavorable situation, ambushed.
Gao Yuan finally stopped because he had found a good place to take cover, an anthill.
