**57章：**围攻的开始**

" Hold your fire!" Zhao Jium's voice snapped out, halting Lin Hao's finger just as it was about to pull the trigger. "We need to hold our position!"

Lin Hao's eyes darted to his commander's face, confusion etched on his brow. "But, sir, we're surrounded!"

Zhao Jium's expression was grim. "I know, kid. But we can't afford to give up. We have to hold out until backup arrives."

The mercenaries had indeed closed in, their guns blazing as they tried to pin Lin Hao's team down. Lin Hao's heart raced as he returned to his cover, his mind racing with strategy.

"Sir, I've got an idea," Lin Hao said, his voice low and urgent. "What if we—"

"Silence!" Zhao Jium cut him off, his eyes locked on the corridor. "We need to focus on surviving right now."

Lin Hao's eyes dropped, disappointment etched on his face. He knew better than to argue with his commander, but his mind was already racing with possibilities.

Just as he was about to retake cover, a sudden burst of gunfire erupted from the corridor, sending his team scrambling for cover. Lin Hao's eyes snapped up, his heart leaping into his throat.

"Sir, we've got a problem!" he yelled, his voice hoarse.

Zhao Jium's face was a mask of granite. "What is it?"

"The mercenaries have breached our perimeter!" Lin Hao shouted, his voice rising above the din of gunfire. "We need to fall back!"

Zhao Jium's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. "Not on my watch. We hold this position, no matter what."

The words sent a shiver down Lin Hao's spine. He knew his commander was right, but the weight of their situation was crushing. They were vastly outnumbered, with no clear escape route in sight.

As the battle raged on, Lin Hao's thoughts whirled with desperation. How could they possibly hold out against such overwhelming odds?

The corridor was a maelstrom of chaos, guns blazing, screams echoing through the walls. Lin Hao's team was on the brink of collapse, and he knew they couldn't hold out much longer...
