I Told You To Manage The Reserve Unit For Me Instead Of Turning It Into A Special Troop-Chapter 967 - 571 Perilous Situation! (Two in One)_2
Chapter 967: Chapter 571 Perilous Situation! (Two in One)_2
“And there’s the matter with the Qiu brothers.”
Qin Yuan asked earnestly.
“Yes, I’ll tell you everything now while my father is also here.”
Weiwei said seriously.
“Weren’t we all recuperating in the hospital before?”
“Originally, they went with you, but then they came back.”
Qin Yuan nodded to confirm.
Indeed, the Qiu brothers had to leave the team due to an unexpected situation and came to Qin Yuan and Green Snake’s group.
Qin Yuan remembered they had said that once their injuries were healed, they would go look for Qin Yuan and his group, but after that, there had been no contact with them.
He never expected that they would have gotten involved with Weiwei.

“They told me that a situation had arisen on your side and that we needed to come over for support immediately.”
“Neither Sister Xiaoyun nor I had your contact information, and since we had interacted with them before and had a good impression of them, we didn’t doubt their words. But later, it turned out we were too naive.”
Weiwei sighed.
“Were they also with Daybreak Organization?”
“Yes.”
Weiwei nodded.
“I don’t know when, but they had already colluded with Daybreak Organization.”
“They led us to a remote area, trying to capture us alive.”
“Thankfully, Sister Xiaoyun was cautious and had brought weapons and ammunition. She used a smoke grenade to create a diversion and managed to escape.”
At this point, Qin Yuan could see a trace of fear in Weiwei’s eyes.
“Why would they betray us? Before, we were all working together just fine!”
Weiwei was baffled.
“Sometimes people are like that, and there are even situations where they can’t help themselves.”
Qin Yuan pursed his lips.
“I have no kindness left for them. If I see them, I will certainly seek revenge!”
“Yes, our current situation is anything but optimistic.”
Qin Yuan lowered his head and analyzed seriously.
He had originally thought that by destroying three of the enemy’s units, he had gained an advantage. But in the end, it was a mixed outcome, as he still lost some troops and not only failed to rescue Geng Hu but also had a mole inside.
How could Qin Yuan feel at ease with such a situation?
“We hope that someone will be able to end this war in the future.”
The old man by the side interjected at this time.
Qin Yuan smiled.
“I remember what I told you before, and I will keep my word.”
The old man responded with a friendly smile.
“I have always trusted you, and this time is no exception. Since my daughter has come here, and with my current abilities, I cannot protect her fully. Now, I ask you earnestly to ensure her safety.”
“In return, I will do my utmost to repay you.”
The old man spoke with sincere eyes.
“Thank you for your trust; I promise you, I will take good care of your daughter.”
Qin Yuan said earnestly.
“As an old man, I can’t be of much help, so I’ll just support you from behind and cheer for you.”
“No worries, your trust in me is my greatest honor.”
Qin Yuan said with a smile.
“Good, now that we have an agreement, the rest is up to you.”
After bidding farewell to Elder Yang and Weiwei, Qin Yuan returned to the camp.
He only saw He Chenguang gathering all the soldiers and checking their condition and the items on them one by one, trying to find the traitor hiding in the camp.
Qin Yuan didn’t disturb him; instead, he stood to one side and quietly watched.
Soon, He Chenguang had checked over all the hundred or so soldiers.
Qin Yuan walked over and greeted him.
“So, did you find anything?”
Qin Yuan asked.
He Chenguang shook his head helplessly.
“Nothing.”
He Chenguang stuck out his tongue.
“That’s what I expected.”
If it were so easy to expose them, they wouldn’t have fallen for the enemy’s tricks so easily.
“Next, I plan to continue the search for Geng Hu’s whereabouts.”
“Why do this?”
He Chenguang asked.
“We are very likely under their surveillance, and by doing this, there is the danger of being calculated against by them again,”
Qin Yuan shook his head, explaining.
“It’s precisely because they think this way that I’ve decided to use their plans against them, making such a decision,”
“It’s about doing something unexpected to the enemy.”
“Moreover, this time, I’ve decided to act alone, without making any noise,”
A look of worry appeared on He Chenguang’s face.
He said with a wry smile:
“This is the fourth time you’ve said this.”
“What, you think my plan won’t work?”
“No, just lamenting that the 2nd platoon of the logistics company is completely relying on you alone now,”
He Chenguang voiced his worries.
“We have no way back now; success or failure depends on your action this time.”
“Just now I went to check our food reserves, and to my surprise, they were sabotaged by enemy spies; in other words, we no longer have reserved military rations,”
Qin Yuan’s eyes twitched, then returned to normal.
“Hmm, I understand,”
“Please hold on a little longer; I will definitely bring everyone back.”
“This is truly a battle with our backs against the wall; they have supply vehicles, while we have cliffs behind us,”
“Right, Green Snake had previously robbed the enemy’s food truck; we can use those seized military rations to hold out for a while longer,”
He Chenguang realized.
“Hmm, I’ll go rendezvous with Green Snake first, and I’ll contact you after we’ve met. Until then, I’m entrusting you to hold the fort,”
Qin Yuan said.
“Okay, no problem,”
“Oh, and by the way, I couldn’t get ahold of you on the walkie-talkie before; what happened?”
Qin Yuan suddenly remembered this and asked.
“Ah, that’s because I lost my walkie-talkie,”
He Chenguang replied.
“Lost it? When?”
“About half a day ago, around the time they launched their attack; I lost it during the fight with them,”
“I’ve replaced it with a new one now,”
Saying so, He Chenguang took out a new walkie-talkie from his pocket to show Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan nodded and re-entered his number into his own walkie-talkie.
“Remember to keep it safe this time, and make sure to maintain close contact afterward,”
“Got it, you take care as well,”
“What’s our remaining combat strength now?”
Qin Yuan asked before leaving.
“After this last round of fighting, our combat strength has reduced from the original three hundred to around two hundred,”
“There are a few more with Green Snake that haven’t been accounted for,”
He Chenguang reported truthfully.
Qin Yuan propped his chin with his hand and bowed his head slightly in thought for a moment.
“We’ve been exposed here; we must move our position,”
“Retreat immediately five kilometers back, take all the brothers, and abandon this place,”
“I was thinking the same, but according to our current situation, retreating will probably take a lot of time,”
“Since we have quite a few wounded and Old Mr. Yang, they are not adept at such operations,”
He Chenguang said with concern.
“Of course, I know that, but it’s still better than staying here; do your best to help them, we must take action right away,”
“The battlefield ahead is up to me, while everything behind must be fully managed by you; you are also the last hope of our 2nd platoon of the logistics company,”
Qin Yuan spoke seriously.
“Got it, we’re like brothers in hardship now; success or failure is this one move! Fight on!”
The two shook hands and embraced, then Qin Yuan left the place.
According to the information from He Chenguang, Green Snake was fighting with a detachment from the Daybreak Organization about two kilometers to the west of here; if it weren’t for their support, the 2nd platoon of the logistics company would be facing not just Captain Jin’s troops by now.
Qin Yuan was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected that Green Snake, leading a force of just dozens, could hold out for so long against a much larger enemy force—it was indeed astonishing.
Pushing his horse to gallop, Qin Yuan reached the site in just over ten minutes.
As expected, he saw thick smoke billowing from the open ground in the distance, intermittent shouts, and the intense noise of gunfire.
