Chapter 145: Crisis and Resolution of the Outpost
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun, like a thin golden veil, fell feebly upon the frigid border outpost. The biting wind, like sharp icy spikes, pierced relentlessly through the thick cotton-padded jackets clad tightly around the women. The piercing cold threatened to freeze the very bones. The inclement weather further obscured the already dim vision, and the swirling snowflakes intertwined with the pervasive fog, severely hampering the sentry's work.
At that moment, the enemy dispatched a well-trained special forces unit. They meticulously disguised themselves as our soldiers, wearing similar uniforms and even imitating their weapons and equipment. They approached the outpost quietly, their steps light and cautious, striving to make no sound.
Due to the darkness and the enemy's convincing camouflage, the female members of the outpost were initially unaware. It wasn't until the enemy approached within a few dozen steps that they launched a sudden and fierce attack. Instantly, the cries of battle and the clashing of weapons shattered the previously peaceful atmosphere.
The female members of the outpost were caught off guard. Some were still intently observing the movements in the distance, completely unaware of the danger so close at hand. Others, before they could even react, were shot by enemy arrows, their cotton coats instantly stained red with blood.
But the female team members at the outpost did not panic. Years of hard training and actual combat experience made them calm down in an instant.
"Sisters, don't panic! Keep calm!" The usually calm captain Lin Wan'er shouted loudly. Her voice was steady and powerful, as if injecting a powerful sedative into the team members.
They carefully observed the enemy's patterns of movement and flaws. Although the enemy's disguise was flawless, there were still some subtle differences in their attacking movements and expressions.
After the battle began, a ferocious enemy leader, upon seeing the female soldiers, showed disdain and shouted sarcastically, "Brothers, be careful with your weapons! Don't hurt these women! Capture them alive and bring them back for your brothers' amusement." His vulgar and arrogant words instantly ignited a raging rage among the female soldiers. They worked closely together, some bravely holding shields to resist the enemy's attacks, while others seized the opportunity to counterattack, inflicting considerable casualties.
However, the enemy was numerous and well-armed, and the female team members gradually found it difficult to hold on.
However, the female team members continued to fight desperately with the high vigilance and tenacious fighting spirit formed by long-term training.
At this critical moment, an experienced team member decisively blew the alarm, its shrill blast echoing throughout the outpost. Other team members quickly drew their weapons and launched a counterattack. Some quickly sent a distress signal to the rear, hoping for reinforcements as soon as possible.
"Sisters, we must defend the outpost even if we die!" The injured Xiuqin gritted her teeth and shouted, her face full of determination.
Soon, reinforcements arrived in time.
"Charge! For our sisters, for our outpost!" Su Yao, the commander of the reinforcement force, shouted loudly, her voice as loud as a bell.
A fierce battle ensued, with swords flashing and blood splattering across the snow like shocking flowers. But our female warriors refused to retreat. With unwavering faith and fearless courage, they gradually gained the upper hand.
At this time, the enemy leader saw that victory was hopeless and roared in anger: "Brothers, cheer up! Don't fall for these women! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
However, his shouts were no longer enough to save the enemy. The enemy soldiers began to fall into chaos, some abandoning their armor and weapons and fleeing in panic, while others, overwhelmed by the bravery of our soldiers, stood frozen in place, bewildered.
Some enemy soldiers tried desperately to escape, their eyes filled with fear and despair, their steps stumbling, their steps unsure of where to go. One soldier ran, looking back, muttering, "It's over, it's over, what should I do?" Another, panting, thought, "If I can just get out, there's still a glimmer of hope."
How could our female soldiers and reinforcements let them go so easily? "Don't let any of them escape!" the soldiers shouted, chasing the fleeing enemy troops relentlessly.
Some female warriors shot arrows accurately, hitting the backs of the fleeing enemies; others, holding long swords, quickly caught up with the enemies and killed them with their swords.
Finally, under our pursuit and interception, the enemy was completely defeated, and those who tried to escape were strangled to death.
"We won!" the female soldiers cheered, their voices carrying far away in the cold wind.
The outpost returned to its former tranquility, but the female soldiers knew that the next battle could come at any time.
