Suddenly, Chen Ming stood up, walked to Zhao De's side, and whispered, "Captain, did you notice the expressions of those uniformed men? They seem a little nervous."

Zhao De nodded thoughtfully: "You're right, I noticed that too. Let's not make a fuss about it for now, and find an opportunity to ask after we've rested."

Just as the team members were preparing to rest, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. The uniformed personnel who had greeted them earlier entered again, their expressions somewhat serious.

Chapter 1357 Obtaining More Support

"Captain Zhao, could you please come with me for a moment? There's an emergency I need to discuss with you."

Zhao De immediately stood up and followed the uniformed personnel out of the lounge. The other team members exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of foreboding.

At the end of a narrow corridor was a small conference room. Inside, several high-ranking officials were already waiting. A hint of anxiety flickered in their eyes.

“Captain Zhao, please sit down.” An older official gestured for Zhao De to sit down, then continued, “We have just received information that the enemy’s actions may be much faster than we expected.”

Zhao De frowned: "What are the specifics?"

"According to intelligence, the enemy has learned our location and is very likely to launch an attack on us." The official's words were heavy with pressure.

Zhao De pondered for a moment, then said, "We need to take immediate action. If the enemy does attack, we must be fully prepared."

“That’s right.” The official nodded. “We’ve increased security, but we still need your team to participate in the defense deployment.”

Zhao De nodded firmly: "Understood, we are ready to fight at any time."

After leaving the meeting room, Zhao De returned to the lounge and quickly gathered his team members. He briefed them on the current situation and assigned them their respective responsibilities.

"Gentlemen, we may soon face a tough battle. Please remain vigilant and proceed according to plan."

The team members nodded, their eyes filled with determination and courage. Xiao Li gently patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, brother, we will definitely win."

Xiao Wang nodded, trying to appear calm: "Yes, I believe we can do it."

Just then, a sharp alarm blared, shattering the brief silence. Zhao De jumped to his feet: "They're here! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The team members quickly drew their weapons and took their positions. Zhao De stood at the front, took a deep breath, and gripped his gun tightly.

"Hold on, we will definitely hold this place!"

At this moment, Chen Ming walked to Zhao De's side and whispered, "Captain, let's rush out together and see what the situation is like."

Zhao De nodded, and the two walked side by side toward the entrance. At the entrance, the other team members were already on high alert, ready to face the impending battle.

"Attention everyone, proceed according to the original plan!" Zhao De's voice was calm and powerful, bringing some reassurance to the team members.

Xiao Li stood on one side of the group, gripping his weapon even tighter. "Captain, do we know the number and location of the enemy?" he asked anxiously.

Zhao De frowned slightly and looked at Chen Ming: "The specific situation is still unclear, but intelligence indicates that the enemy is encircling us from multiple directions."

"Multiple directions?" Xiao Wang was somewhat surprised. "Won't that make our defenses too scattered?"

Chen Ming continued, "There is indeed that risk, but we can only prepare for the worst for now." He turned to the communications officer and said, "Contact the rear as soon as possible and get more support."

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the door. The team members quickly raised their weapons, ready to respond to any possible attack.

A uniformed officer rushed in, his face filled with anxiety: "Captain Zhao, a group of enemies has appeared in the southeast corner, and there are quite a few of them! Requesting backup!"

Chapter 1358 Adjusting Deployment

"Understood!" Zhao De decisively ordered, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, take a group of men to reinforce. Hold that line at all costs; absolutely do not let the enemy break through!"

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Captain! We'll definitely complete the mission!"

They hurriedly left the room with a portion of their team. Meanwhile, another report came in that enemy activity had appeared in the northwest corner, and the situation was extremely critical.

Zhao De frowned, his mind racing as he considered a solution. "Chen Ming, go to the northwest corner and take command. You must stabilize the situation there!"

"Understood!" Chen Ming replied firmly, and quickly led his men to the northwest corner.

Only Zhao De and a few other team members remained in the room. They knew the battle had reached a critical moment.

Looking into Zhao De's determined eyes, Xiao Wang's unease was gradually replaced by a sense of resolve. "Captain, do we need to make any preparations?"

Zhao De nodded: "Of course, we need to hold our ground here and be ready to support other positions at any time. Everyone must remain highly vigilant and not give the enemy any opportunity to exploit."

Just then, a burst of intense gunfire erupted outside, shaking the entire building. Zhao De's expression grew even more serious; he knew the real battle had begun.

"Attention everyone, hold your positions and do not attack rashly. We will hold out until the very last moment!"

The team members responded readily, each taking their positions and standing ready. Outside, the fighting intensified, with explosions and shouts filling the air.

Zhao De took a deep breath, his eyes fixed firmly ahead. "Everyone, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must fight side by side and never back down!"

"That's right, Captain, we will win!" Xiao Wang's words were filled with fearless determination.

Just then, a squad member rushed in, panting, and said, "Captain, the enemy is gathering in the southwest, and it looks like they're about to launch a full-scale attack on us!"

Zhao De quickly made a decision: "Alright, adjust the deployment immediately and concentrate all remaining forces in the southwest. We must keep them out no matter what!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao De and his team felt a surge of fighting spirit. They picked up their weapons, ready to face this life-or-death battle.

Zhao De's voice echoed in the room, firm and powerful. The team members gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes burning with determination.

"Everyone, move out immediately!" Zhao De gave the order, and the team members immediately began their tense deployment and adjustments. Xiao Wang ran to the window, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began contacting the front lines: "Attention all groups, the enemy is gathering in the southwest. Please prepare!"

At the same time, Zhao De picked up his communication device and contacted the commanders in the other directions: "Chen Ming, what's the situation now? Has the northwest corner been stabilized?"

Chen Ming's voice came through, slightly out of breath but still firm: "Team Leader Zhao, things are temporarily stable here, but the enemy is under a lot of pressure, and we must grit our teeth and persevere."

"Alright, stay vigilant. I'll redeploy the main forces to the southwest. Hold the line, we'll provide support." Zhao De made the decision quickly.

Just then, a voice came from another line, from Xiao Li in the southeast: "Captain, the enemy numbers here are large, and they're already close to the defensive line. Requesting reinforcements!"

Chapter 1359 The Final Blow

Zhao De's heart sank, but he remained calm: "Xiao Li, hold on a little longer. I will mobilize other forces to come and support you as soon as possible. We absolutely cannot let the defense line collapse!"

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Zhao De turned to his team members: "Everyone heard that, time is of the essence, let's set off immediately!"

Zhao De and several team members rushed out of the room and onto the open ground outside. The gunfire around them grew increasingly intense, the atmosphere of battle almost solidifying. Zhao De shouted, "Everyone assemble! Follow me!"

The team quickly regrouped and headed southwest. Along the way, they encountered sporadic enemies, which they quickly dealt with before continuing their advance. Zhao De understood that this battle was not only a contest of strength, but also a test of wills.

Upon reaching the southwest, the enemy was already close at hand. Zhao De ordered his men to take cover and prepare for a surprise attack. "Wait for my signal and follow my orders."

Just then, enemy tanks appeared, their massive steel bodies giving off a suffocating feeling. The tank guns slowly rotated, as if aiming at a target.

"Attention everyone, tanks are appearing! Prepare anti-tank missiles!" Zhao De shouted the order. The team members quickly took out their anti-tank missiles and aimed them at the tanks.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from afar: "Captain, I've found their command vehicle. Should we attack that target directly?" It was Xiao Zhang, who was hiding behind a big tree and had spotted the enemy's important vehicle through his sniper scope.

Zhao De smiled slightly and decisively ordered, "Xiao Zhang, well done! Take out the command vehicle! Everyone else, maintain suppressive fire and prepare to meet the tank assault!"

Xiao Zhang nodded, quickly adjusted his aim, and gently pulled the trigger. The bullet streaked across the sky like lightning, striking the command vehicle directly. Instantly, the armored vehicle exploded, flames shooting skyward.

The enemy forces were thrown into chaos, losing their command center, and their tanks temporarily halted their advance. Zhao De immediately seized the opportunity and led his troops forward.

"Attack! Before they can react!" Zhao De shouted, and his men followed closely behind. They were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart of the enemy.

The battle intensified, and Zhao De led his men step by step, firmly controlling every position. Finally, after a fierce battle, the enemy began to show signs of defeat.

"Give it your all, victory is just around the corner!" Zhao De encouraged his teammates, and he himself rushed to the front.

Suddenly, a team member collapsed, covered in blood. Zhao De rushed over to check on him and, finding the injuries serious, immediately called for the medical team: "Medics, there's a seriously wounded soldier here, come quick!"

Medical personnel arrived quickly and provided emergency care. Zhao De looked around; the enemy had been cornered, but they still refused to give up.

At that moment, Chen Ming's voice came through the radio: "Team Leader Zhao, the enemy in the northwest has retreated. We can send some men to support you."

Zhao De breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Chen Ming, thank you for your hard work. Send someone over quickly, we need the final blow!"

Chen Ming replied firmly, "Understood, I'll be there right away!"

With the arrival of new forces, the situation reversed further. The enemy finally could not hold out and began a complete rout.

Just as Zhao De led his team in full pursuit, a figure approached from afar—it was Xiao Wang. "Captain, look over there, someone seems to be surrendering."

Chapter 1360 The Secret Passage

Zhao De followed his gaze and, sure enough, a group of enemy soldiers put down their weapons and raised their hands.

"Gather the prisoners of war, clear the battlefield, and be careful of ambushes!" Zhao De ordered.

The team members sprang into action, beginning to collect prisoners of war and clear the battlefield. Just then, a squad member ran over to report: "Captain, we've discovered some important documents and supplies in the enemy camp."

Zhao De nodded: "Very good, take all these things back with you, it will be of great help to us."

As the fighting gradually subsided, Zhao De and his men began to systematically clean up the battlefield. Wounded comrades were rushed to rear hospitals, while prisoners of war were gathered for registration and initial interrogation. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and dust, but amidst all this, there was an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

"Xiao Wang, take a team to clear that area. Be careful," Zhao De said, pointing to a pile of ruins on the east side. "Make sure nothing is missed."

Xiao Wang nodded solemnly: "Understood, Captain." He then quickly left with several team members.
