424. The crisis of mercenaries

Vasilis rushed towards the stronghold with a group of Armenian Avengers and soon came closer.

Seeing the attack, the few militants also took refuge in all directions, looking for cover and waiting for an opportunity to fight back.

But at this time, Nikolai led a group of Eastern European mercenaries to attack from the flank, and the rebels did not react in time, and instantly fell a large area, taking advantage of this gap, the two sides rushed into the stronghold together.

Leaving some of the people to wipe out the remnants, Vasilis and Nikolai led the men to the largest house.

Gesture to each other a few times and get ready for anything.

Then, Vasilis knocked the door lock open with a single shot, and Nikolai kicked the door open, and the mercenary who had been prepared behind him dodged into the room, and the weapon shook around, but did not notice anything unusual.

At that moment, the mercenaries who entered the room quickly occupied various critical positions, and at the same time made a report: "Indoor security!" ”

Hearing the report, Vasilis and Nikolai immediately led the rest of the people into the room.

When I looked up, I saw dozens of hostages sitting densely in the dim and damp wooden house, all of them were tied hand and foot and couldn't move.

"We're here to save you!" Vasilis shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, we will ensure everyone's safety, keep order when evacuating, don't run around, please act according to our instructions." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly.

After receiving the order, the men behind him immediately stepped forward and helped the hostages cut the ropes.

It wasn't until this time that these frightened ordinary people knew that what was coming in front of them was indeed a rescuer, and they were really rescued, and they couldn't help but show joy.

Soon, the mercenaries cut the ropes of all the hostages and covered them out of the house.

Vasilis began to contact Aphroya: "Aphroya, the hostages are safe and sound, I will take them out of the stronghold and go to the delivery site now." ”

"Yes, the Sky Dome transport machine will be picked up at the delivery point." Aphroa replied.

But at this time, Aphroa suddenly discovered something: "Wait, the radar has found the target." ”

"Are you coming?" Hearing this, Vasilis couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it really a trap? ”

"I'm afraid yes, deliberately leaving, just to lure us in, and then carry out a siege." Aphroya's voice was extremely grim: "There are rebels all around, it seems, they know that the Russian side will send people, so they deliberately wait, this lofty mountain, the plane can't land at all, they can only leave on foot, so they don't worry about the hostages being rescued at all." ”

"It's a pity, this kind of terrain is not a problem for the sky dome at all!" Vasilis couldn't help but sneer: "This mission, only we can complete it, then, we will protect the transport point with a fan-shaped defense, and when you send off the hostages, we will evacuate to the mountains, even if there are heavy weapons, they will not play a role in the high mountains and dense forests." ”

"Yes, you only need to go around for an hour or so." Aphroa sighed softly, "So, let's get started!" ”

"Roger!" Vasilis cut off communications and evacuated the stronghold with his men and hostages.

After walking out for a while, he came to the flat ground where the plane landed before, and at this time, the sky dome had also landed on the ground, and in order to receive hostages, the ECS electronic stealth camouflage system had been turned off at this moment.

"Everyone gets on the plane in order, everyone can go up, don't panic." Vasilis shouted to maintain order.

Watching the hostages being sent to the cargo hold one by one, everyone also calmed down a little.

In any case, the mission is basically completed.

It can be regarded as a rebel army who does not understand their own combat power and does not know the existence of such a thing as the Sky Dome Transport Plane, which is self-defeating, but creates a God-given opportunity for everyone.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sky Dome transport planes came and went without a trace, it would have been impossible to rescue the hostages so easily by relying solely on the Russian military.

At this time, Nikolai walked to Vasilis's side: "There is no problem here, now spread out to cover the transport plane to take off, as long as the transport plane leaves, we can evacuate to the mountains." ”

"Then, give us the Armenian Avengers on the left side." Vasilis couldn't help but grin.

"The right side will be handed over to the Eastern European mercenary group!" Nikolai also smiled and shook the rifle in his hand.

At that moment, the mercenaries of the two sides dispersed separately and formed a fan-shaped defense line within a range of several hundred meters around the Sky Dome Transport Plane, escorting the Transport Plane to take off.

Just as all the hostages had boarded, the engines of the transport planes roared, and flames erupted from the vents, the rebels arrived as scheduled.

The rebels surrounded by a large number of rebels compared to the previous stronghold, and there were two helicopters covering the sky and several off-road vehicles with machine guns on the ground.

Seeing this, Vasilis and Nikolai issued the same command almost at the same time: "Rockets! ”

Although they were mercenaries, this operation was supported by the Russian military, and the weapons and equipment were also complete, and several mercenaries took out rocket launchers and aimed them at their respective targets.

With a dull firing sound, the rocket dragged a long tail flame and stabbed towards its target.

Of these, two rockets were aimed at a helicopter, and the other three were aimed at the front off-road vehicles.

Everything happened between lightning and flint, three off-road vehicles were hit and exploded at the same time, and the air wave lifted the body of the vehicle several meters, and several burning tires flew dozens of meters away.

However, on the helicopter side, there was a problem.

Almost as soon as the rocket was launched, the helicopter began to pull up and make dodge movements, and at the same time, the cannon in the belly of the aircraft also fired violently, forming a dense barrage below.

The rocket was launched and was directly destroyed by the rain of bullets, and failed to get close to the helicopter fuselage.

"What's that?" Vasilis and Nikolai stared at each other at the same time.

At such a close distance, there is no reason to miss a rocket attack on a helicopter, and several Black Hawk helicopters were shot down under the same circumstances in the same situation.

But the situation is really a bit strange, and it is obvious that at the moment of the rocket launch, the helicopter detects the heat source, knows that it is attacked, and responds in advance.

And the accuracy of that cannon is also somewhat terrifying, apparently controlled by advanced electronic instruments.

When did the rebels start to equip such advanced helicopters?

Before there was time to think about it, the attack was launched, and the target was exposed, and the rebels reacted immediately.

The off-road vehicle on the ground was destroyed, and the rebels behind immediately dispersed and fired wildly in this direction, while the helicopters in the air, after destroying the rockets, also began to turn around and enter the attack position.

The mercenaries immediately began to return fire.

For a time, there were loud gunshots and explosions.

The Armenian Avengers and the Eastern European Mercenary Regiment have also spent more than ten years in the rain of bullets, and their combat quality is far higher than that of the rebels, relying on accurate marksmanship and advanced rifles to kill the rebels who show their heads.

Their fire is not intensive, and the gunfire is sparse, but it is such a seemingly careless shooting, but militants are constantly falling.

It's just that the number of militants is too much, which also puts these battle-hardened mercenaries under pressure.

Aphroa!

Vasilis shot a militant in the distance, glancing behind him: "Don't you take off yet?" ”

As if in response to Vasilis, the Sky Dome transport plane slowly left the ground, turned on the ECS electronic stealth camouflage system, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In this way, the rebels did not even know that there was a transport plane leaving with hostages, and there was no way to attack.

The hostages are sent away, and the mission is accomplished!

Then, the next thing is to think about getting out of the encirclement and how to deal with the rebels for an hour.

"Nikolai, the transport plane is gone, and we should withdraw too!

Vasilis shouted into the communicator: "Keep the formation alternately covering, retreat to the mountains." ”

"Come on!" Nikolai let out a hearty laugh: "Don't be left behind, I won't save you." ”

"If you're left behind, I'll save you." Vasilis also laughed and stepped back.

Seeing that these mercenaries wanted to leave, the rebels naturally would not watch them leave, and immediately shouted and chased after them, and at the same time, the helicopters in the air also entered the attack position, and the rocket launch nests on both sides of the fuselage were like the hideous teeth of wild beasts.

"Damn it, get down!"

As soon as he arrived, there was a roar, and the sides of the helicopter flashed with fire, and rockets rained down.

The mercenaries relied on their instincts and experience formed over the years, relying on the terrain to dodge each other, and then the rockets fell, triggering a series of explosions, and the flames caused smoke and dust to roll up.

After firing the rockets, the helicopter continued to descend in altitude, and the machine guns began to strafe.

But at this moment, as if suddenly discovering some danger, the helicopter quickly climbed high and formed a barrage with a cannon below.

The two rockets flew away, and unexpectedly, they were destroyed by the machine guns, but this attack delayed the pursuit of the helicopters and bought precious time for Vasilis and others.

"Vasilis, hurry up and leave if you don't die!" Nikolai's voice came from the communicator: "I found that this trip is too big!" ”

Vasilis hurriedly got up, and at a glance caught a glimpse of Nikolai and the others not far from the flank, and they also fled quickly.

A mercenary shot at the back, killing the rebel at the front, hiding behind a large rock and replacing the gun with a magazine.

But at this moment, a ghostly light slashed through, piercing straight in front of the boulder, penetrating the thick stone, and piercing the mercenary's body.

A cluster of bright red flowers bloomed on the mercenary's chest, and he fell down with a look of disbelief, and there was a huge hole in the boulder behind him.

"That's ......"

There was no time to grieve at the death of their companions, Vasilis and Nikolai looked at each other, and at the same time surrendered in astonishment and shot the militant in the distance.

In his hand was a strange firearm, all silver, which looked very sci-fi.

Gauss rifles? (To be continued.) )
