The pursuit from behind grew tighter and tighter, with more and more vehicles catching up. The enemy's bullets swept over the rear like a storm, leaving the armor plating of the armored vehicle riddled with dents.
The M2HB's ammunition was completely expended, and Caesar and Christmas both joined the counterattack formation at the back of the vehicle.
The situation had become extremely tense. Even Shen Guanghua, in the back, couldn't afford to feel uncomfortable. He could only try his best not to interfere with the mercenaries protecting him.
"Fuck! Are these guys all crazy?" Christmas exclaimed in disbelief, seeing them rush forward so fearlessly.
Zhang Jie, however, seemed to be deep in thought. It appeared this nuclear energy scientist was very important to them.
His gun continued to fire in bursts, but the enemy seemed intent on creating distance, preparing to use rocket-propelled grenades.
And the enemy's vehicle-mounted M6s were also firing wildly.
Fortunately, the firing ports on the armored vehicle were relatively small, which prevented the awkward situation of bullets coming through them.
"Boss, is there any way to request backup?" Christmas shouted.
"Damn it! How should I know?"
Ross was also extremely frustrated at this point, not expecting such a major change in the mission. Being chased by so many vehicles was not a good thing, and their ammunition was about to run out. Trouble would soon arrive.
Just at this critical moment, his satellite phone suddenly rang.
Ross didn't even think, grabbing his phone and pressing the answer button.
"You continue for another 3km. There's a Chinese peacekeeping force currently on a mission there. We've already made contact with them and informed them about your vehicles, telling them they are embassy vehicles. They will provide you with support."
The voice on the other end conveyed the information completely and clearly to Ross, then hung up.
After hearing the other party's words, Ross joyfully slapped the steering wheel, "Hang in there, big boys! 3km ahead, hope is in sight!"
With that, he continued to charge forward.
Upon hearing Ross's words, the other team members also felt a little more at ease and calmly began firing to block the pursuers behind them.
Meanwhile, 3km away, more than a dozen armored vehicles were gathered, all uniformly painted blue.
On the blue paint were two white letters: UN.
United Nations peacekeeping forces, in each period, have specific countries or a mix of multiple countries performing peacekeeping missions, but this particular peacekeeping force was entirely staffed by Chinese soldiers.
The commanding officer, Yang Ming, put down his communicator. His deputy, Li Jianjun, approached and asked, "What's the situation?"
"We received a distress call from the embassy. Two embassy armored vehicles are heading our way, being pursued by armed elements of the government's rebel forces."
"Embassy armored vehicles? Government rebel forces?"
He knew both terms individually, but together, why did they sound so awkward?
"Someone hired a mercenary group to rescue a scientist who was kidnapped by local armed elements, but something unexpected happened, and they are now being pursued by government rebel forces."
Yang Ming quickly explained the detailed information to Li Jianjun.
Then he picked up the intercom and loudly said, "Soldiers, our embassy's armored vehicles are under attack by unknown armed elements. We will now proceed to the battlefield 3km away to rescue our compatriots. There is a Level Zero protected individual on board. I am initiating emergency self-defense procedures!"
"Everyone, now!"
"Move out!"
With the command given, all the peacekeeping soldiers immediately got up and boarded the peacekeeping force's armored vehicles.
Subsequently, the peacekeeping force's flag on the armored vehicles was replaced with the vibrant Chinese flag.
Then, dust flew as more than a dozen armored vehicles sped towards the direction 3km away.
At this moment, Ross, who was rushing forward, suddenly turned to Yin Yang and said, "Oh, right, raise the Chinese flag!"
Hearing this, Yin Yang immediately went to the armored vehicle's ammunition storage area. There was a plain cylindrical tube there. He opened the tube, and inside was a bright red Chinese flag.
He then immediately raised the Chinese flag directly through the sunroof. After doing all this, he understood what was about to happen, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The vehicles were moving fast. In Ross's vision, he also saw those dozen blue armored vehicles. So, he sharply turned the steering wheel, and the two armored vehicles, one left and one right, drove towards the blue armored vehicle convoy ahead.
The moment the two armored vehicles passed, several blue peacekeeping armored vehicles immediately blocked the road, cutting off the path. Then all their firing ports opened, aiming at the direction of the attackers and directly opening fire.
There wasn't even any communication.
A furious barrage of firepower instantly poured out, completely stunning the pursuers behind. Not only that, the vehicle-mounted heavy weapons also aimed at the pursuers and fired wildly.
"Damn it, what are these peacekeeping forces doing?"
The powerful firepower prevented those in the rear from even raising their heads. Many people didn't even react before being riddled with bullets. Several vehicles in front were directly destroyed by the heavy firepower, erupting in violent flames.
In their impression, peacekeeping forces never participated in local conflicts; even if they were slaughtering civilians, the peacekeepers would only stop them, not allowing them to act. But what madness had possessed them today?
Pressured by the enemy's powerful firepower, they could only begin to retreat. The leader of the pursuers was very annoyed, "Damn it, I will definitely complain about you!"
Faced with such a powerful offensive, he could only turn around and retreat.
But the young man beside him had sharper eyes and seemed to have discovered something. He turned to his boss and said, "Boss! Those peacekeeping vehicles aren't flying the UN flag, they're flying the Chinese flag!"
"What!"
As soon as he said this, the leader was stunned, then looked closely. Indeed, there was no blue UN flag, only the bright red flag waving in the wind.
This meant that this group of blue-helmeted individuals was no longer operating by the peacekeeping rules of conduct.
"Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Realizing that something was seriously wrong, Cassas made a decisive move without any hesitation or cursing, because he had thought of a terrifying fact.
All the surviving vehicles fled frantically. Out of 12 jeeps and 3 modified armored vehicles, excluding the two destroyed by the TM62, 13 remained, but now only 4 vehicles were escaping.
The other vehicles and armed elements were all killed under the storm of bullets. Yang Ming did not order a pursuit; instead, he began to contract the formation.
Their mission was to protect these two armored vehicles. One of the armored vehicles had two drone operators who were recording all the information, including the facial features of the people who had escaped.
Next, they would face a Red Notice issued by Interpol and the freezing of cross-border assets, but that was a matter for later.
On the two armored vehicles that had stopped, everyone slumped in the compartments, unable to move. The high-intensity battle was too exhausting.
At this moment, Yin Yang, who was resting nearby, suddenly said, "The blue helmets of the peacekeeping forces are for guarding peace, but when the Chinese flag burns in the flames of war, that shade of blue will instantly transform into the Dragon's Reverse Scale!"
Zhang Jie, sitting nearby, seemed to be deep in thought.
