Chapter 1256: Chapter 1254: Crushing the Baldeke Squad!

“Out of bullets.”

When Hao Jian appeared in front of Xia Hou, Xia Hou was still full of shock.

Just in the last thirty seconds, the man in front of him, while evading a barrage of gunfire, managed to kill twenty people with just twenty bullets from his pistol!

Each person shot in a vital spot, dead beyond a doubt!

“Amazing…”

After a long time, Xia Hou finally managed to squeeze out this sentence, leaving Hao Jian speechless.

“Officer, if you don’t want your soldiers to suffer casualties, we’d better cooperate.”

If it weren’t for the fact that these people were Huaxia Special Forces, Hao Jian wouldn’t have bothered at all. Just like when both sides in a conflict are from Equatorial Guinea, as long as they’re not allies, he wouldn’t care, he’d just walk away regardless.

With his abilities, these people couldn’t stop him even if they tried.

“Oh… okay, okay! Then, sir, we owe you!”

Perhaps being in a foreign country made Xia Hou develop a certain trust in this powerful man, so he didn’t reject Hao Jian’s proposal. After all, they were at a disadvantage. How could they refuse such a morale booster at a time like this?

“Then lend me a few more guns. This gun has too few bullets, there’s no way to take down over two hundred of them.”

Hao Jian casually tossed the pistol to Xia Hou, who quickly caught on and handed over an assault rifle from one of his subordinates, personally giving Hao Jian a hundred bullets.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Once he finished all this, Baldeke’s men finally reacted, forming a constant barrage of gunfire, aiming at their cover.

Listening to the gunfire, Xia Hou’s face looked grim. Did these guys have endless bullets? They’ve been shooting for so long, their bullets were nearly depleted, yet those guys still had such fierce firepower…

“Leave it to me…”

Hao Jian shook his head. Since he had intervened, he had to make sure none of them left here. At least he didn’t want the Mercenary Alliance or the Assassin Alliance to know he was there.

Now that he had made a move, word would definitely get to those people, and they would guess it was him. The only way was to ensure no news left here.

And how to ensure no news got out? By leaving none of the nearly two hundred men, all fully armed, alive. Such a thought only Hao Jian dared to conceive.

Of course, compared to what he’d faced in the past, this was minor skirmishing, relatively easy to handle.

After grabbing the gun, Hao Jian leaped out from cover, rushing forward under the shocked gaze of Xia Hou and the others.

The assault rifle in his hands fired intermittently, each shot killing an enemy, and Hao Jian targeted only those on the outer perimeter.

This way, he needn’t worry about those on the perimeter escaping first.

“Brothers, follow this gentleman, let’s make a stand, we can’t let him fight alone! We are Huaxia people!”

“Charge!”

Watching Hao Jian fighting on the battlefield, Xia Hou suddenly snapped back, feeling ashamed. As a Huaxia Special Forces soldier, and one of the best, having the thought of letting someone else fight the enemy was truly embarrassing!

Upon hearing Xia Hou’s words, the subordinates, who had long felt suffocated, let out a low shout, grabbing their weapons with fervor, orderly charging out on Xia Hou’s command.

They followed right behind Hao Jian, providing various covers. Though calling it cover, they only dealt with some leftover enemies; most enemies faced Hao Jian’s fierce assault.

Sergeant Zhang, under Xia Hou, tightly followed behind Hao Jian, focused on supplying Hao Jian with bullets, knowing this figure bore most of the pressure. If anything went wrong and they ran out of bullets, they’d have really let this master down!

Baldeke’s men were cunning as well, knowing Hao Jian’s capability, so they dared not expose themselves, instead constantly throwing grenades to stall Hao Jian’s advance.

These men truly used their elevated position to force Hao Jian back, which frustrated him due to their underhanded tactics.

Before long, a vehicle carrying over twenty people approached them at full speed from the end of the road. Seeing the emblem on the vehicle, Xia Hou’s eyes lit up slightly.

“The Government Forces of Equatorial Guinea have finally arrived!”

The arrival of Equatorial Guinea’s Government Forces also increased the odds for Hao Jian’s side, even though there were only a bit more than twenty people, it still counted as an asset. Plus, Baldeke’s people finally threw away the last hand grenade.

Hao Jian and his team launched the full-scale attack!

“Who exactly is this person?!”

Baldeke’s subordinates numbered nearly twenty thousand, yet now these more than two hundred soldiers all died here, which was certainly enough to make Baldeke heartbroken.

The equipment on these people wasn’t cheap, and to ensure the perfect completion of this mission, these guys were equipped with the most advanced and valuable gear in the organization.

Half an hour later, when the last soldier fell, it meant that these few hundred sets of the most valuable equipment ended up in the hands of the Huaxia Special Forces.

Of course, the Special Forces didn’t need so much equipment, but it could also be offered to Equatorial Guinea’s Government Forces, though they had to purchase it at a low price; there was no free gifting.

After this small-scale battle concluded, the first thing Xia Hou did wasn’t to thank Hao Jian, but instead, he questioned the finally arriving Equatorial Guinea Government Forces. The message clearly said there would be two hundred people as support, but in the end, only a bit over twenty arrived?!

However, after listening to the explanation from this squad leader, Xia Hou could only helplessly turn his anger into a sigh.

Who would have thought that these Government Forces from Equatorial Guinea could only deploy one vehicle! The rest had all walked here!

Listening to this squad leader’s explanation, it was because Equatorial Guinea itself didn’t produce gasoline; all gasoline was imported from outside. Even though Equatorial Guinea had oil fields, the moment the war started, those oil fields no longer belonged to the Government Forces.

They belonged to those ruling officials, namely the warlords currently rising up, who now controlled the two oil fields of Equatorial Guinea.

Because of this, the original ruling group in the capital Malabo had to leave the island and move to the mainland of Equatorial Guinea, now the rear, a very backward place…

Upon hearing their explanations, Xia Hou finally understood how these soldiers failed and why so many warlords had risen.

After resolving the matters here, Xia Hou turned his gaze to Hao Jian, then ran up to Hao Jian with full admiration on his face, chuckled, rubbed his palms, not knowing what to say.

“Captain, you need to thank this gentleman! He saved so many of us…”

Eventually, it was Sergeant Zhang who quietly nudged his arm from behind, gently reminding him.

“Oh, right, right, right!”

Almost forgot about that, Xia Hou stood before Hao Jian with embarrassment, recomposed himself, and then bowed deeply to Hao Jian, his tone earnest.

“Sir, I, Xia Hou, only know you are a Huaxia person, but in truth, I don’t know who you are. Still, I am very grateful for your intervention; if not, even if we could defeat these people today, we would have paid a heavy price.”

“The nation sent us to assist, but if we suffered a terrible defeat just after crossing the border, it would only bring shame on the country’s name.”

“Enough, enough, you don’t need to say all these official words to me, I’ve heard more than the number of meals you’ve eaten.”

Hao Jian shook his head, he just saved these people by coincidence, Xia Hou still went on.

However, Hao Jian was more curious about one thing, so he asked Xia Hou without thinking, “But this time, why did you come to Equatorial Guinea in the first place?”

“I think this place shouldn’t be worth the country sending people here for assistance…”

Upon hearing this, Xia Hou showed a complex expression, finally gritted his teeth and decided to speak, “This matter was initially confidential, but now it isn’t.”

“The country dispatched one thousand Special Forces to stabilize Equatorial Guinea’s situation, and we, just over a hundred people, are merely the vanguard; the actual main force is still on the way, though they are expected to arrive at the port in two days.”

“Although Equatorial Guinea is a small nation, it signed a trade agreement with our country and is one of our friends. Now that they are in trouble, we have to intervene.”

Thus, Xia Hou explained these things little by little to Hao Jian, and listening to his explanation, Hao Jian gradually understood why they came.

When he heard that this guy would start by dealing with those warlords, Hao Jian’s eyes gleamed slightly; he was thinking about how he lacked manpower, and weren’t these people ready recruits?

Moreover, Hao Jian just saved their lives, so discussing this matter should be relatively easy; he wasn’t leveraging gratitude, just worried they might not agree.

This problem was about jointly destroying Baldeke’s base, but Hao Jian thought their chance of cooperation was very high.

These men had just been ambushed by Baldeke’s crowd, still harboring resentment, and now had a venting opportunity; they wouldn’t miss it.
