Chapter VI

"Army dryland reptiles are coming." The sightman patted the sniper's ***, even though he knew that his companion didn't like his actions at all. "Don't let them kill them all."

"Shut up and keep an eye on the target." The sniper's eyes did not leave the sniper scope, and threw him a cold word. "Also, don't 'touch' my *** anymore, it's disgusting."

Smoke began to drift from the streets, and the silhouette of the van was revealed, and the large Mercedes logo on the front of the car was already visible. Mercedes-Benz cars are all good, and I'll get a sedan when I get out of this damn place. The van in front of you is old, but as long as it's a Mercedes, you'll have to look at it differently, the sniper thought to himself. Perhaps, the sniper scope should also use the Mercedes-Benz mark as a 'shooting' indication.

"The target appears." The sight told him.

The sniper stopped thinking and slowly adjusted his breathing, allowing his thoughts to focus on the sniper scope.

"In front of Zone A, there's a van." The voice of the observer is relaxed.

"Distance?"

The environment has been calibrated beforehand, so the sniper himself has calculated the distance of the shot, and he just needs to get confirmation from the observer.

"521 yards, approaching." The sight looked at the 'shot' card placed in front of him. "Wind direction is 3/4 to the right, correction 1."

The sniper gently pushes the safety open.

"500 yards, 20 miles per hour, advance can be ......"

The sniper was only halfway through his words when the sniper felt his body suddenly jump, and half of his head was limply resting on the sniper's body as he was knocked off by a bullet that flew from nowhere.

Without time to be surprised or to find more cover, the sniper quickly turned his rifle in the direction where the bullet might have 'fired'. It took him five seconds to search for 'waves', but that was the limit of what he could do with a blind search.

An AM rifle sprayed in desert yellow 'color' appears in the mirror.

The sniper suddenly realized that the bolt design has a feature, when loading again, it only needs to rotate up 60° and pull back 107mm, which allows the 'shooter' to always rest his head against the cheek plate when 'operating' the bolt, and can throw the cartridge case and push the bullet into the chamber while maintaining the sight in the scope. Five seconds is enough for a good shooter to prepare for the next shot.

"Oh God."

The sniper only had time to see the blonde hair of the 'shooter' behind the AM rifle when he was hit in the head by a 338 Lapu-Magnum rifle round.

In the headphones of Luo 'Men', ACE, Ma Xibei and An Nianrong, a 'female' voice was heard at the same time.

"The barriers have been cleared."

Luo 'Gate' slapped Tang Wei on the shoulder, and the old van suddenly accelerated through the smoke and rushed towards the Humvee convoy driving on the opposite side. An Nianrong, who was sitting next to Tang Wei, could even see that the American soldiers in the first Humvee had turned the M2HB large-caliber machine gun aimed at him and pulled the bolt. The American soldiers wearing sunglasses and the muzzle of the black 'hole' and 'hole' made her fear of death in an instant.

At this moment, Tang Wei twisted the steering wheel desperately, making the van turn at an angle of almost ninety degrees, turning into an alley on the street, and avoiding the opposite convoy.

"I hope your plan works." Tang Wei shouted loudly to Luo 'Men'. "There is only one way to go, but ahead is the territory of the Shiite militia, are you sure you made the right decision?"

Before Ro' could speak, Ace was already laughing. "Is it too late to question this plan now?"

The battle is now about to enter the stage of determining 'sex', and even Luo 'Men' himself is not sure whether the "blind man's 'touching' elephant" has the imaginary effect or not. Taking away Jafari's son and daughter will definitely be stopped by the Americans, but the matter has reached this point, even Jafari himself can no longer cancel this operation, and at this time, Luo 'Men' can no longer accept anyone's instructions, unless this order comes from An Nianrong.

Now it's a back-to-back battle, confidence and courage are not issues for him to consider, life and death are.

Cotter contacted the second lieutenant who led the team, and knew that the 4th Infantry Division had dispatched an infantry company to block all the junctions in the area, and the entire area was already under the control of the American army. With the direct involvement of the CIA, the U.S. command in Baghdad named the operation "Angry Flames", mobilized all the services it could mobilize, and even assigned a tank platoon of the Fifth Panzer Division to be on standby.

A Global Hawk flew over the combat area and began transmitting video footage to the command center. Just minutes after the van shook off the Humvee convoy, the Global Hawk had sent back images showing that the car had stopped outside a residential building in the neighborhood where anti-American militants were active, and that the occupants of the car had entered the building.

Kurt was 'confused' and 'confused' by this, they kidnapped Jafari's family, and their first consideration was to escape from Baghdad, but it would not do them any good to stay in this neighborhood. Importantly, Jafari is also an enemy of the anti-American forces, and his family is not safe in that place. However, doubts and doubts are doubts, and the operation must continue, and Cotter and Martin will jointly command this platoon of the 4th Infantry Division with the second lieutenant.

The loss of a group of Marine snipers made Kurt realize that there were snipers on the other side, and that his own snipers did not give a little warning in advance, which made Kurt even more worried. Unlike these active-duty soldiers, his experience in Delta taught Kurt the power of snipers, and he seemed to be quite experienced in their use of them. Cotter believes that at any time, snipers should not be integrated into a team at the same time as the main force, although the snipers themselves can also participate in the attack or defense, but as a last resort, the most correct positioning of the sniper is the main support force of the main force, so he must maintain relative independence from the main force, avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy, and give an unexpected blow at a critical moment.

The opposing snipers are still hiding in the shadows, which is where Kurt is worried. He reminded the leading officer to ask all his M14 'shooters' and snipers to pay attention to looking for enemy snipers hiding in the shadows, because the enemy would not be able to escape anyway, and there was no need to take the enemy lightly and cause unnecessary losses to himself.

At this moment, the forward observation post suddenly reported that there had been a fierce 'exchange' of fire in the house on Safina Najib Street, where his target had broken in. Whatever the reason for the 'crossfire', he and his troops had to arrive as soon as possible to bring the situation under control. At this time, there were no hidden snipers, all the personnel rushed in Humvee cars, and if there were snipers, they would be 'handed over' to heavy firepower to solve them, anyway, Baghdad was already in devastation, and they didn't care about more shells and bullets.

Safina Najib Street is a Shia territory that was once named after the eighth-century poet Abu Navas, and now the name "Safina Najib" means salvation in Shia scriptures. After the fall of Saddam's regime, people felt that it was inappropriate to keep these names, because they symbolized the injustice they had suffered. Kurt didn't think so, he didn't think that changing the name of a street would help him or her at all, the renaming of the street was spontaneous among the people, but in the end it must be consistent with the government, otherwise it would cause 'chaos' and 'chaos'. What if they named the bar after the prophet or ***? That would be a great irony to Allah, and of course, it would also be considered divine will. Religion is much more accommodating than Islam in this respect.

When Luo 'Men' and the others entered this house, Tang Wei left the team. According to the original plan, his mission ended here, and Abbas would take over the rest of the matter. Abbas, who had arrived from Jafari's house, had brought an AK47 with him, and it was obvious that he was nervous.

"Am I reading it wrong or is he really shaking?" ACE asked Rom in a whisper.

"It's not surprising that he is dealing with opposition forces." Ro' whispered in his headphones to alert the others to the situation. "I dare say one or two of these people will recognize Jafari's children."

"What are we going to do then?" ACE watched attentively as Abbas 'engaged' with several opposition leaders.

"Hopefully the dollar will help a lot." Luo 'Gate' gently opened the safety on the rifle with a movement that no one could detect. "But if dollars don't help, then you have to know what to do."

"When we came in, there were dozens of AKs on the street, and I don't know how many there were in this building." ACE SURVEYED HIS SURROUNDINGS. "Isn't it too risky for you to choose the battlefield here?"

"As long as you memorize the map here, then we can still be quite sure." RO'MON LOOKED AT ACE EARNESTLY. "If you really want a blind man to 'touch' an elephant, do you have any faith?"

ACE LAUGHED. "Do I have faith, you ask? I'll tell you, I did better than you when I trained in this subject. ”

"I remember it, but don't let me see your jokes."

Ro'mon replied disapprovingly, but his gaze had already turned to his own side, to make a final assessment of his decision.

Ma Northwest is the best spearhead, so there is nothing to worry about. An Nianrong definitely couldn't, but she and Jafari's children didn't have to fight, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with his plan.

An Nianrong's face was not 'pale', which must be due to nervousness, but her eyes were not flustered. An Nianrong noticed Luo Men's gaze, and 'revealed' a very small smile on her lips to show her calmness, and then continued to coax Hamia in her arms.

The Arab's voice suddenly became loud and noisy. Abbas was so angry that he blushed and waved his hand vigorously, arguing with several leaders of the opposition forces, and the militants in the room and in the corridor gathered and surrounded the Romen, all of whom had unkind faces.

"What happened?" RO'MON LOOKED AT ACE. "Why are they arguing so fiercely?"

"It seems that the other side is saying that Abbas has violated the agreement, so they want to cancel this 'transaction'." ACE STRETCHED HIS EARS TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONVERSATION. "Oh, they say, if Abbas doesn't agree to his terms, they're going to 'hand over' us all to the Americans. It doesn't look good. ”
