"Open fire!"
In an instant, gunfire erupted.
Countless machine guns and rifles rattled through the forest, as the National Guard officers, having suffered setbacks in previous encounters with the drug traffickers, unleashed their fury.
The red pickup was instantly riddled with bullets and crashed into a nearby tree trunk.
The drug traffickers' convoy screeched to a halt, quickly turned around to retaliate.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
The dense gunfire continued as dusk approached. Amid the smoke and dust, Gu Ji could even see the flames shooting from the drug traffickers' muzzles. The bullets sprayed along the convoy, but most were absorbed by their Humvee M1152 light armored vehicle.
The 5.56 NATO caliber bullets only managed to leave shallow white dents on the steel armor, and even when striking the bulletproof windshield, they created just a hand-sized spiderweb of cracks.
"Disperse the vehicles! All combat team members dismount! Gunners, prepare to cover!"
