Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 399 It's too late

Lu Shaohua had reason to believe that as long as the last minute passed, Chen Guobang would immediately order the missiles to be launched, and then the troops would quickly surround the camp, fly out, and eliminate the survivors. This was not because Chen Guobang was cold-blooded, but because of the rules, and it was also the beginning of revenge, revenge for Li Zhijie, because as a former soldier, Li Zhijie was very punctual, and if he had not come out at the agreed time, that is, ten o'clock, it meant that he had been killed.

Seeing that there was only one minute left, Lu Shaohua was almost in despair. The last bit of hope left in his heart was slowly being devoured. Until finally, Lu Shaohua no longer had any hope for Li Zhijie's survival.

At this moment, it was already ten o'clock. Lu Shaohua regretted letting Li Zhijie take this risk. But what could he do now? After all, it was a fact that Li Zhijie did not return.

At the same time, Lu Shaohua couldn't believe it. He didn't believe that the mercenary group dared to attack Li Zhijie at this time. After all, with the strength of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, it was too easy to destroy them.

Anger, immense anger, a murderous aura rising from the heart. The time has come, so no matter what, action must be taken here. Lu Shaohua could fully foresee that at this moment, the 3,000 soldiers guarding the mercenary group had already opened a siege.

"The missile launch has entered the countdown," Chen Guobang's strong voice sounded, but he had not finished speaking, only half of his words.

"Wait." Lu Shaohua came to his senses when Chen Guobang shouted about the missile launch and tried to stop him. Although he was also very angry, Lu Shaohua did not lose his rationality. Deep down, he still believed that Li Zhijie had not been killed. "Wait three more minutes."

Yes, Lu Shaohua was prepared to wait for another three minutes, which were also the last three minutes. However, Lu Shaohua did not expect Li Zhijie to be alive. He was just unwilling to give up and regarded these last three minutes as a life-saving straw. If Li Zhijie did not come out after three minutes, then Lu Shaohua would ruthlessly destroy the mercenary camp completely.

"But..." Chen Guobang was also unwilling, but this kind of thing could not be delayed. Even if he knew that Li Zhijie was still alive, but he did not come out at the specified time, then Chen Guobang would give this order without mercy.

It was not for anything else, because they were all former soldiers, even if they were no longer soldiers, but their rules had not changed, and those who did not come out at the prescribed time would be considered dead. But the situation was different now, because Lu Shaohua gave the order, and Chen Guobang had to stop.

"No buts. I said wait three minutes, so wait three minutes." Lu Shaohua was already on the verge of going berserk. He didn't know whether he was facing Chen Guobang or someone else, so he shouted in a deep voice. "Also, tell the front line to surround the entire camp and not let anyone go."

Chen Guobang did not respond to Lu Shaohua's words, but answered Lu Shaohua with practical actions.

"Surround the camp and wait for orders." This was the order Chen Guobang issued to the front line. He then signaled to several staff members in the control room to prepare for the missile launch, because Chen Guobang knew that in three minutes the missile control room would begin the launch countdown again.

Time passed by bit by bit, and soon, two minutes had passed, and Li Zhijie still hadn't come out, nor had he sent back any news. Lu Shaohua also realized that his order to wait for three minutes was redundant, but the words had already been spoken, and Lu Shaohua would not break his promise, so he waited another three minutes, and then launched the missile directly to destroy the mercenary group's camp.

Two minutes and thirty, there were only thirty seconds left for Lu Shaohua's three minutes. The staff in the control room were fiddling with the equipment, preparing to launch the missile. Chen Guobang was staring at the big screen with an expressionless face, wanting to watch the missile launch.

“Ring, ring!”

The communication device rang at this moment, and Chen Guobang picked up the headset almost immediately, put it on in 0.01 seconds, and shouted. "This is the base, please answer if you hear me."

"Understood, evacuate quickly." Chen Guobang said after a while, as if he had received some news. He took off his headphones, his eyes widened, and he looked very surprised, but he could not hide the joy hidden in his expression, and he said intermittently. "Zhijie Zhijie is out."

"What?" Lu Shaohua was a little slow to react, thinking he had heard it wrong, and confirmed it again. "Is it true?"

"Yeah." Chen Guobang nodded desperately. "It's true, that's the news he just sent back."

After getting the confirmation, Lu Shaohua didn't know what it felt like, but his clothes were soaked with sweat and his forehead was sweating. Then, he laughed and shouted, "God has eyes."

Venting, this was Lu Shaohua's venting after being suppressed for a long time, and his state of mind was also undergoing a cruel test, from despair to the fact that Li Zhijie was still alive, like going from hell to heaven. However, it was obvious that he was excited, happy, and thrilled at this moment, because Li Zhijie was still alive.

The emotions that Lu Shaohua had suppressed for a long time burst out at this moment. He was relieved and took a long breath. He asked, "What's the situation now?"

"Zhijie has come out. It seems that he saw the camp was surrounded and had to send him out." Chen Guobang replied.

Lu Shaohua didn't rush to speak. He thought for a while before saying, "Confirm again to see if he has withdrawn?"

"Okay." After that, Lu Shaohua fiddled with the communication equipment again, contacted Li Zhijie, and said to Lu Shaohua again after a while. "They have already evacuated. Oh, the other side has compromised. Should we withdraw the soldiers on the front line as well?"

"Withdraw the soldiers?" Lu Shaohua looked at Chen Guobang and asked again. "Why are you withdrawing?"

Lu Shaohua was furious. A small mercenary group dared to detain Li Zhijie. This was a naked protest. How could Lu Shaohua just let it go? The Tiger Roaring Mercenary Group was not the kind of mercenary group that would apologize after being slapped in the face. Instead, it was the kind of mercenary group that would destroy the other party after being slapped in the face.

This is how the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group should perform. At the same time, it is also Lu Shaohua's will. He will not let anyone challenge his bottom line. Coincidentally, this small mercenary group has successfully challenged Lu Shaohua's bottom line. Even if Lu Shaohua is in a hurry to use people, he will not accept the other party again.

"Give orders." After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and said, "Order the frontline to surround the enemy camp and not let anyone go. The missiles enter the launch countdown and the aircraft are dispatched."

With just a few simple words, Lu Shaohua ordered the three parties to mobilize.

Chen Guobang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Lu Shaohua to give such an order. But after thinking about it, he understood everything. He knew that the other party had successfully touched Lu Shaohua's bottom line. Even if Li Zhijie was released, Lu Shaohua would not let the other party go.

But Chen Guobang couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Wasn't it time to hire someone? Why couldn't Lu Shaohua accept the other party?

This cannot be blamed on Chen Guobang, he did not think deeply, if he thought deeply, he would not have such doubts. In Lu Shaohua's opinion, when Lu Shaohua sent Li Zhijie, who was in a high position, a mercenary group that was sincere in accepting the amnesty should have seen the sincerity of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group and lowered their status to accept the amnesty.

But this mercenary group is different now. They waited until the front-line troops of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group surrounded their camp before making a decision. Then, they were already one step too late, and there was no possibility of redemption, because Lu Shaohua would not accept this person who did not give up until the last moment. Even if such a person was recruited, accidents would happen in the future. Therefore, in addition to anger, Lu Shaohua was also taking precautions against any unexpected events in the future.

"Brother, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lu Shaohua asked when he saw Chen Guobang standing there in a daze without taking any action.

"Oh!" Chen Guobang came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "I'll give the order now."

The next thing was simple. Chen Guobang issued a series of orders. The first order was to the front-line base, ordering the troops to surround the enemy's camp and withdraw from the missile bombing range. The second order was simple, restarting the missile launch countdown until the launch. Chen Guobang issued the last order, which was the third order, ordering fighters and bombers to fly over the enemy's camp.

The missile hit the target without any suspense. At this time, Li Zhijie also contacted Chen Guobang, asking him why he gave the order to launch the missile. Chen Guobang's answer was simple. He pushed the question to Lu Shaohua, then looked at Lu Shaohua, waiting for him to speak.

A small mercenary group, whose camp was not yet reached, had basically destroyed the enemy's entire base with one missile, but Lu Shaohua was not satisfied and continued to issue orders in a deep voice. "Order the bombers to bomb the enemy's camp as hard as possible."

Lu Shaohua didn't care whether the other party was dead or not. Based on the principle of being on the safe side, he still gave this order. It was not until Chen Guobang sent the order to the bomber crew according to his wishes that Lu Shaohua issued the last order. "Order the front-line troops to search the camp for survivors. If there are any, kill them on the spot."

Playing tricks with Lu Shaohua is doomed to a bad end. This small mercenary group is a living example. Lu Shaohua killed them all and dealt a devastating blow to the other side as the price for detaining Li Zhijie.

"What a pity, what a pity." Lu Shaohua murmured to himself.

Lu Shaohua was not sorry for losing the people he thought he could recruit, but he felt sorry that the other party was ignorant of the current situation and challenged his bottom line. He released Li Zhijie at the last moment, but it was too late.
