"Come back with us!"
Hearing Zhou Yingting's words, Qi Ming took a deep breath, and then looked delighted.
Zhou Yingting's ability seems a bit wasted on being just a scout here.
Zhou Yingting's ability is best utilized by staying close to the command center!
With that in mind, Qi Ming, without further ado, immediately took Zhou Yingting back to the command center.
Zhou Yingting did not object upon hearing this.
He revealed his ability to the other party, hoping to be recognized and to use his special ability to influence the entire battle situation.
Otherwise, doing small tricks behind the lines might have some effects, but
for the entire battlefield, the impact is indeed too insignificant.
Just like the news they received earlier, the 14th Army at the front line is already showing signs of defeat.
The effect they just achieved was merely delaying the 14th Army's defeat a bit.
Such an effect is ultimately unable to change the entire situation.
"Okay."
Zhou Yingting responded, then followed Qi Ming to retreat immediately.
Knowing Zhou Yingting's ability, they fully relied on him to choose the route during the retreat.
Originally, it was Yu Wenxing who was scouting ahead, but now he has become the second echelon.
Yu Wenxing looked at Zhou Yingting ahead, his mind replaying Zhou Yingting's words just now.
He wanted to refute Zhou Yingting's ability, after all, this sensing of enemy positions seems too far-fetched.
But recalling Zhou Yingting's actions during the destruction of Hanshui Bridge made his heart slightly twitch.
The enemy's secret sentries, Zhou Yingting had known them clearly; it indeed seems hard to directly explain his ability.
"Never mind, Captain Qi arranged him at the front, perhaps as the final test of his ability."
Yu Wenxing thought for a moment, looking at Zhou Yingting's back, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Even though he had some doubts, he still held out hope.
Because if Zhou Yingting truly possessed such an ability, it could play a significant role!
As someone from the 14th Army, he naturally didn't want the 14th Army to lose this war.
The group didn't speak much on the road, just hurried along.
After spending a whole night, they returned to their front line, only to find that the battle line was gone, and the enemy had advanced further ahead.
"What's happening, is the front line collapsing?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting and the others felt a chill run down their spines, and could only grit their teeth and continue on.
After a long half-day journey, they heard the continuous sound of explosions in the distance.
They hid behind a hill, took a look at the distance, and saw the trenches ahead in fierce firefight.
"Is that..."
Zhou Yingting looked through binoculars, his eyes narrowing slightly.
If he wasn't mistaken, that seemed like Bai Siwei's team?
The enemy tanks kept pressing forward, while Bai Siwei's side desperately resisted, pushing back wave after wave of enemy attacks.
But the disparity in firepower and manpower was too great.
Glancing quickly, Bai Siwei's side barely had over a hundred people, while the attacking enemy numbered in the thousands.
Such continuous attacks could exhaust Bai Siwei's team to death.
Moreover, Bai Siwei's team already seemed to have lost quite a few members.
"So brutal..."
Yan Xia lay beside, looking at the battle ahead.
He had just seen clearly, a person in Bai Siwei's team got killed instantly while operating a machine gun.
That person fell suddenly.
The person beside him was hit by a sudden bomb and fell too, not getting up for a long time, probably dead.
Zhou Yingting nodded silently upon hearing this.
"Let's go, the situation appears dire, we must return as soon as possible."
Qi Ming watched for a moment, then stood up to continue hurrying along.
The group finally reached the base camp before sunset.
When they arrived at the command center, they found it chaotic beyond measure.
Qi Ming instructed Zhou Yingting to wait outside while he went in to inquire.
After a while, Qi Ming came out and signaled Zhou Yingting and the others to follow him inside.
In a small room inside, they finally saw the commander of the 14th Army.
"So it's you who can sense where the enemy is?"
The commander before them had a resolute expression, but his gaze towards Zhou Yingting carried a hint of suspicion.
If it weren't for Qi Ming vouching for him, he wouldn't have seen Zhou Yingting.
Looking at the commander, Zhou Yingting nodded immediately, "Yes, I can indeed sense where the enemy is!"
After a moment of silence, the commander said, "Alright, since you can sense where the enemy is, I need you to prove it."
"Our artillery battalion at the rear was taken out, and an airfield too, because a team of scouts infiltrated our rear and provided intelligence to the enemy."
"If you have this ability, find that team for me, and I'll believe in your capability. How about that?"
He couldn't just believe the other based on Qi Ming's words alone.
He needed the other to demonstrate his ability for him to see.
"Sure."
Zhou Yingting nodded immediately, then turned his gaze to the small map.
Seeing Zhou Yingting agree so readily, the commander's eyebrows rose, eyes gleaming with a hint of surprise.
"How long will you need to find that team?"
"I've already found them."
Zhou Yingting looked at the map before him, frowning slightly.
"Found them, where are they?"
Qi Ming frowned immediately upon hearing this, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
Rivals in the same journey, both were scouts, watching the other causing such a mess behind him, as if they were better than him, Qi Ming naturally found this hard to accept.
As long as he could know where the other party was, he would immediately lead people to destroy them!
"They're on the hill not far from here."
Zhou Yingting looked at the map, then marked a point on the commander's map after comparison, indicating that the opponent was here.
The commander in front of them carefully looked at the point Zhou Yingting marked, and then smiled.
"It seems that the people you brought didn't tell the truth."
Saying this, he gestured for Zhou Yingting to leave.
Zhou Yingting looked at the other in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, if this team of scouts is here, it means they can already overlook the entire command camp, having discovered such a big target, they would surely report the coordinates and request an artillery strike."
Saying this, he also shook his head and sighed.
At this moment, he also began to doubt Zhou Yingting's words a bit.
Could it be that Zhou Yingting didn't have such ability?
Qi Ming also fell into doubt at this moment.
Zhou Yingting's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Qi Ming say this.
"Artillery strike?"
"Not good!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yingting couldn't care about so much, just as the other party said.
The other party discovered the artillery battalion and the airfield, and it was a direct artillery strike, direct bombing.
Now that the other party knows this is the command post, how could they let it go?
In this way, being bombed here was a sure fact.
"Run!"
Zhou Yingting ran towards the door, shouting to the commander, "I'm really not lying to you, run quickly!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yingting had already reached the door.
Qi Ming was stunned for a moment hearing this, thinking of Zhou Yingting's previous performance, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and dragged the commander outside.
"Commander, this place is no longer safe, please relocate!"
"What are you doing! I need to continue working here, do you know how many people are dying every minute and second on the frontline now! Do you believe their nonsense too?"
The commander being dragged out was furious.
Yet Qi Ming stubbornly dragged him away.
Though he had some doubts in his heart, he thought if this were true, then they were really going to be bombed.
If they waited until then, it would be too late to run.
But the commander in front of him didn't believe it, he didn't think he would be discovered here.
Moreover, given the current dire situation of their side, he needed to find a way to change the course of the battle, so he didn't want to leave his command room for a moment.
However, his strength ultimately wasn't as great as Qi Ming's, directly dragged to the door, the anxious commander directly shouted for the guards.
The guards had just arrived, still a bit unsure of what to do when suddenly a sharp whistling sound came from afar.
"Not good, take cover!!!"
Being seasoned soldiers in battle, the moment this sound rang out, they immediately understood that shells were incoming.
In an instant, a bunch of people turned pale.
The nearby guards also hurriedly ran out with the commander.
And at this time, shells were already falling like raindrops, crazily landing all around them.
All sorts of erected facilities were completely destroyed at this moment.
The sound of explosions kept ringing at this moment.
Shrapnel and small stones exploded and flew everywhere.
Some shells exploded beside them, directly blowing people away, then they fell to the ground unable to move.
"Run!"
The three of Zhou Yingting had already run a certain distance, but the shells falling continuously were still exploding all around.
They were still within the blast range at this moment.
"Watch out!"
Bang!
A flash of white light appeared in front, and then Zhou Yingting felt as if he was hit by something.
Dizzy and spinning, when he managed to raise his head with difficulty, he saw Yan Xia already fallen to one side, his lower body had disappeared, blood continuously gushing out.
"Yan Xia!"
Seeing Yan Xia's tragic state, Zhou Yingting hurried forward to suppress the bleeding from the wound.
But blood was flowing everywhere from his lower body, when Zhou Yingting's hand touched it, it was like it had directly pressed into a pool of blood, there was no place to stop the bleeding.
"Run."
Yan Xia's eyes were now a little dim, and he was spitting blood continuously, "Survive, if you can, help take care of my child....."
After speaking the last few words, Yan Xia spat out a mouthful of blood, the light in his eyes dimmed.
"Go!"
Cen Kewan, seeing this, pulled Zhou Yingting and gritted her teeth, heading outside.
At this moment, explosions were still constantly ringing around, and people occasionally fell due to bomb blasts.
Zhou Yingting came back to his senses, gritting his teeth, he followed Cen Kewan, quickly running outside.
By the time they finally reached a nearby bomb shelter, they sat down heavily, panting heavily, and the anger in their eyes at this moment was impossible to suppress.
"Someone come quickly!"
At the entrance of the bomb shelter, Qi Ming dragging the commander had just reached the door, and shouted angrily, "Doctor, doctor!"
With a few shouts, doctors in white coats hurried out immediately.
