"Ambushed?!"
Zayne felt a thump in his heart when he heard this, and he asked quickly, "What is going on exactly? What kind of ambush is it?!"
The commanding officer was sobbing as he replied, "A n explosion! A very powerful explosion! They must have planted a lot of explosives, and the explosion set off a large number of metal fragments. Both my eyes have already been blinded. My legs and my hands are also wounded, but I can no longer identify the extent o f my injuries!"
"How could that happen?!" Zayne's heart started throbbing wildly when he heard the other party's description of the situation.
The two echelons that had parachuted in tonight were the strongest soldiers and commanding officers under Zayne’s command.
When Zayne heard the news that his own subordinates had already been blinded and that their bodies were all covered in wounds at this moment because of the explosion, Zayne really wanted to jump down and rescue them himself.
The background of the intercom system was filled
with the sound of the soldiers' wailing and crying out i n pain, and this made Zayne feel unbearable grief and sadness.
At this point, the commanding officer of the first echelon cried out over the other end of the line, "The enemy had already long laid out the trap for us, and they were just waiting for us to step right into it. Commander, we have suffered heavy casualties from the explosion just now!”
Zayne’s veins protruded in anger, and he clenched his teeth as he said, "Hold on a little longer! I will send the second echelon over there to support you!"
The commanding officer blurted out, "No! Don’t let them come over here!!!"
The commanding officer hurriedly said, "Commander, you should hurry up and ask the second echelon to withdraw now! It is obvious that the opponent is fully prepared for this, and I am afraid that they have already laid out an inescapable trap for us. Our team has been seriously injured, and we have lost a lot of our men. Besides that, we have been encircled by the enemy from the front, and it is impossible for us to break out of this place now. The second echelon will not be able to save us anyway. So, you should not send the second echelon to their deaths by asking them to come here again!"
Zayne would never have expected that the commanding officer of the first echelon would be so pessimistic.
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that they really have no chance of survival anymore? Could it be that... this Hamed really has such strong abilities, and he actually knows how to determine all of his tactical plans in advance?!"
With such dense flying metal fragments, the killing coverage was extremely wide, and the dense crosscoverage made it difficult for even a fly to escape, not t o mention these men who were made out of flesh and blood! 3
Therefore, after the explosion of these eight detonation points, more than half of the men in the second echelon were directly killed in the blast!
The rest of them were basically all seriously injured, and they instantly lost all of their combat effectiveness.
Immediately afterward, the commanding officer of the second echelon shouted out in horror, "Commander, w e... We've also been ambushed!!! The explosion was so tragic that we... we have already lost almost everything! Our brothers who are still alive are all seriously injured. There is blood and broken limbs everywhere..." 2
Zayne instantly froze in place when he heard this.
He would have never dreamt that the northern wing would also be within the enemy's point of anticipation. 6
