Both Jack and Reacher's group of special investigators were prepared to be attacked after stirring up a hornet's nest last night. They even discussed a series of plans such as how to pretend to expose their whereabouts and lure the snake out of its hole.

However, the opponent's madness and reaction speed were beyond everyone's expectations. Considering that it was only five or six hours since the "robbery" last night, Jack was more inclined to believe that the attack was premeditated.

The truth was not important at this moment. The moment they realized they were under attack, the military instincts of Reacher and his companions were instantly activated.

They were very clear that they were the priority target, so they did not choose to help others. Instead, they immediately moved away from the crowd and formed a temporary combat team with the cover of tombstones.

In Jack's previous life, there was a group of hermaphrodites with ulterior motives who once controlled the public opinion in Seris for a period of time.

They ignored the casualty ratio and the detailed war history of both sides, and with some kind of fantasy (eroticism) unique to literati, attributed the reason why the Volunteer Army was able to defeat the UN forces to the "human wave tactics."

It seems that as long as they are fearless enough, a group of peasants with simple weapons can defeat well-equipped enemies by a hundred or a thousand times their number, or even fight them to a draw.

Even worse, some people would attribute the enemy's defeat to some kind of mercy. For example, in a certain movie, after an American pilot in a fighter jet fired a burst of indiscriminate shots, he chose to give up the massacre because he "admired" the courage of the volunteers.

No matter what the truth is, anyone with a normal mind will naturally figure it out and will not be brainwashed by a few slanted movies or novels.

After the founding battle of Seris, both armies learned a lot from each other.

On the one hand, they suffer from a serious phobia of "lack of firepower". On the other hand, with the continuous enhancement of their own industrial strength and information level, various large and small tubes are updated and iterated, and the heavy-armored synthetic brigade looks down on the world.

The U.S. military also learned some advanced war thinking, such as the "left hook tactics" of using mobility to conduct large-scale infiltration and detours, strengthening night combat capabilities and more proactive squad tactics.

You should know that even after experiencing the brutal baptism of the European battlefield in World War II, the tactics of the old US Army were still rigid and conservative. After the artillery air strikes, the army advanced, and when it could not push forward, it continued to call for support from the artillery and aircraft behind it, focusing on a bold firepower of large quantity.

After being defeated by the Serbian soldiers on the Korean battlefield with their fearless will and the rugged terrain of the peninsula, the old US Army also underwent some changes.

However, after the Gulf War, perhaps because it always bullied countries that were much weaker than itself, coupled with endless security wars, this army seemed to have returned to its original form.

When faced with a sudden attack, simply hold on to the spot, desperately call for reinforcements, and wait for the Air Force or other long-range firepower units to rely on precision-guided capabilities to help rescue has become a tried-and-true "panacea."

But soldiers are soldiers after all, and Reacher and his companions are not ordinary soldiers. They are military police who specialize in dealing with ordinary soldiers.

After realizing that the other side was armed with assault rifles and had an overwhelming advantage over their side, which only had pistols, at a distance of more than 100 meters, they did not hide behind the tombstone and wait for death, but chose to take the initiative to attack.

Reacher and Dixon, Negley and O'Donnell worked in pairs, taking turns to cover each other and move forward, trying to shorten the distance with the attackers.

At this distance, a pistol with an effective range of no more than 50 meters can only be used to detect the sound. In addition, with Hannah and Jiejie providing cover on the flanks, the four of them did not waste any bullets. One person observed and covered while the other rushed forward, and then they took turns.

At the same time, Jack was running wildly among the trees, taking advantage of the undulating terrain of the cemetery hills. Without a communicator, he could not communicate effectively, and he had never worked with the special investigators before.

Since there was a lack of tacit understanding between the two sides, he simply resorted to American-style personal heroism, planning to outflank the opponent from the other side and cut off the opponent's retreat by himself.

Now that the other party has arrived, it would be a shame not to leave two people alive to interrogate them clearly.

There was a bloody mark on Hannah's cheek, left by the broken glass after a 5.56 bullet shattered the rearview mirror.

She and Jiejie were actually farther away from the attacker than the others, but their car was parked on a forest path with a wide view, so they could clearly see a gray BMW sedan approaching slowly from a distance.

When they saw four gunmen armed with AR assault rifles getting out of the car, both of them were stunned. They did not expect that someone would be so arrogant as to launch an attack at a funeral in broad daylight.

By the time the two men were busy folding down the seats, pulling open the rear seat partition and taking out the Noveske N4 from the trunk, the other party had already disappeared into the woods.

The girl did not try to shout or call Jack to warn him, but chose to drown out the gunfire from the funeral with bursts of gunfire.

Her decisiveness did work. Not only did it serve as a warning, it also effectively interfered with the gunman's first shot.

But this also put her and Jiejie in danger. The opponent hid in the woods. In addition to the trees and bushes that blocked the view, there were also hard tombstones as cover.

The two of them were currently on a path in the woods of the cemetery. Although it was a path, it was also a road that could accommodate two vehicles and was an open area.

Fortunately, the car they drove these two days was Jack's Hellcat. Both doors of this car were bulletproof, and the reinforced steel plates and Kevlar fillers effectively withstood direct fire from 5.56 small-caliber rifle bullets.

With the cover of the car body, the two men could risk firing a volley of bullets from time to time.

At this time, the three parties at the scene formed a stable triangle. Reacher and the other four at the funeral were located in the low area on the south side. With the help of the densely packed tombstones in the cemetery for cover, they approached to a distance of about 100 meters from the four gunmen and could no longer get any closer.

The four gunmen were in a slightly higher position in the north. Two of them easily suppressed Hannah and Jiejie who were in a lower position in the west. The two tires on one side of Jack's Hellcat had been blown out, and sparks flashed on the body of the car from time to time.

The three points of the triangle are hundreds of meters apart from each other, and for a moment, a kind of stalemate was formed, waiting for the emergence of someone to break the deadlock.

The person who broke the impasse had approached from the east to within 70 meters of the four gunmen. Jack ran nearly 300 meters at the speed of a -meter sprint around the high ground in the north through the bumpy mud in the forest, not only avoiding the enemy's sight, but also going around their side and rear.

"Snapped!"

Amid the continuous bursts of assault rifle fire, a discordant sound of crisp gunfire suddenly rang out. A gunman who was concentrating on aiming had a flower of blood on his left shoulder blade, and he fell to the ground with a groan.
