Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Gunshots came from afar. Ye Jian’s pupils constricted as she said in a low voice, ”The pursuers are here. Pigeon, let’s go!”

It was supposed to be a secret rescue, but now that it had attracted pursuers, it had undoubtedly broken the entire plan of action. The Xueyu unit was composed of all highly-trained special forces soldiers, so they were exceptionally calm despite the turn in events. No one panicked.

Since there were pursuers, they needed to cover the rear. Pigeon immediately asked Azure Bird, ”The helicopter can only fit seven people including the pilot. Azure Bird, do you know how to fly a helicopter?”

Including the soldiers of the Xueyu unit and Fang Gong’s body, there were a total of 22 people. However, only seven people could fit inside the helicopter including the pilot. Pigeon planned to let the female soldier, Ye Jian, retreat first.

However, Ye Jian didn’t know how to fly a helicopter. ”No. White Crane, I’ll cover the rear. Weaver will catch up with you. Let him leave with six engineers first.”

”Sure, be careful! Sparrowhawk, cover the rear with Azure Bird and the others!” Faced with Ye Jian’s answer, Pigeon immediately agreed.

Ye Jian and White Crane were assaulters to begin with. It was better to leave them to cover the retreat.

The tension increased as gunfire erupted behind them. Fortunately, the engineers were all soldiers and didn’t panic at the sound of gunfire. They followed the special forces soldiers protecting them across the island and kept running.

The growth of the trees on the island had a common feature. The roots emerged from the ground. They zigzagged across the surface like tentacles of an octopus that clung tightly to the surface. When there was soil, they would take root. These exposed thick roots that had become one with the ground were an obstacle for the engineers as they ran.

The members of the Xueyu unit could easily leap over these easily tripped-up roots, but the engineers could not do it with such light movements all the time.

After a few people tripped, the speed of evacuation was greatly affected.

If their speed was affected, it would be easy for their pursuers to catch up to them. Pigeon thought of Fang Gong who had already been sacrificed and made arrangements in a stern voice. ”Long Eagle, take turns with Weaver to carry Fang Gong to the helicopter first. Occupy the helicopter first. Hurry!”

The helicopter could only take a total of seven people, including the pilot. The sacrificed Fang Gong and the injured Jiang Gong would definitely have to leave first. The other four people had already decided in the basement, so they were running toward the helicopter now.

Long Eagle, who had just handed Fang Gong on his back to Weaver, suddenly looked up to his left. Just now, he had seen a light pass by.

”Something’s happening at the beach. I saw a flash of light,” he warned all his comrades. There were pursuers behind them. If something was happening at the beach too… It would be harder to get away.

Ye Jian’s expression was dark. She said in a low voice, ”The three of us will run to the beach and shift their focus.

”Pigeon, hide the engineers who have to stay behind and assign two team members to guard them. Then, flank us from the rear to support us! We have to protect Weaver first!”

Ye Jian was a command-type military school student. Although she had only studied for a semester, she started learning the most basic layout of military operations in her first year. As a command-type military school student, she naturally had to understand combat arrangements.

At the moment, the other party did not know how many of them there were. They only knew that they had taken all the engineers away and were acting in two groups. One group would retreat secretly, while the other would attract the other party’s attention to protect the engineers.
