Chapter 42: The Raid
We were a group of twelve people, divided into three directions, and felt our way into the valley.
As expected, as soon as I entered the valley, I walked less than thirty meters and found a narrow clearing on the right side of the valley, where at least ten prisoners of war were resting against each other with their guns in their arms.
They were not aware of our arrival, they were wearing tattered khaki military uniforms, all of them were as thin as black bamboo poles, and their bodies were covered with bones and skin, and they looked malnourished, and I doubted that these were real soldiers.
But the guns in their hands told me that there is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy.
Just as I was about to move, a soldier suddenly staggered to his feet, looked around, and then walked under a tree not far away, held a gun in one hand, and unbuckled his trousers with the other and began to urinate.
When this guy peed, a pair of eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and I had to admit that these guys were much more vigilant than us.
What worries me the most is that five meters in front of his urinating position, where Andrew and Billy are hiding, they are now crouching in the grass, and the slightest movement can alert the enemy, and if they are discovered, the surprise attack will turn into a head-to-head firefight.
Everyone's hearts were hanging, especially when the guy's eyes swept over the grass, every time he involuntarily clenched the gun in his hand, and cold sweat broke out in his nervous palms.
Fortunately, the darkness became the best cover, he did not find the opponent hiding in front of him, put on his pants, and the guy staggered back to the clearing.
"Tim in place!"
"Isha in place!"
“……!”
The sound of everyone in place came from the headphones one after another.
Just when I was about to give the order to attack, the guy who peed just now stood up again, and I frowned slightly: "This guy is looking for trouble, since he is tired of life, I will take you first!" ”
I gently opened the safety and locked the head of this guy in the scope, this time he didn't pee, it looked like he was going to change the guard, I saw him look left and right, confirm the direction, and then carry the gun straight in my direction.
The guard post that had just been killed by Chiba was not far behind me, and it was obvious that he was going to replace the guy.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to go to hell! Since I'm looking for death, it's no wonder I'm not going to blame! I gently lowered my gun, drew my saber with my backhand, and lay down in the grass like a cheetah ready to hunt, quietly waiting for food to arrive.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, probably the first time to face a real enemy at such a close distance, I was a little nervous, my heart beat gradually faster, my right hand held the hilt of the knife, and despite the hard control, my breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and in desperation, I had to take a deep breath and hold my breath, forcing my body not to make any sound.
A moment later, the guy walked slowly past me two meters away, and the moment he passed, I swooped up, lunged at me with my left hand, and stabbed down with my right saber.
Poof, the whole blade of the knife is not in the heart, I am afraid that he will not die I grabbed the handle of the knife with my right hand and twisted it hard, and then pulled it out suddenly, and a stream of blood spurted out along the blood trough, and even sprayed onto the trunk of a tree two meters away, and the heavy smell of blood filled the air.
Slowly put the body down, rubbed the saber on him a few times and inserted it back into the scabbard with my backhand, I returned to my original position and picked up the sniper rifle, it was not the first time I had killed someone, and my heart was not too shocked.
The enemy in front of me was like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, completely unaware of the approaching danger, I lay on the ground, locked the muzzle of a guy on the eyebrows, and then spat out a word into the microphone in a low voice: "!" ”
Before I could finish speaking, I pulled the trigger, and the sniper rifle with the silencer made a muffled "poof", and the head in the scope that was close at hand exploded, half of the skull was shattered by the bullet, blood mixed with the brain spurted backwards, and the corpse was knocked on the heel, and it flipped backwards and fell on another enemy.
It was the first time I had killed someone with a sniper rifle, and even though I had been prepared, the visual impact of such a close range still made my heart tighten, and my stomach churned, and my throat pounded with vomit.
It turned out that the scene of being hit by a sniper rifle was so shocking, I thought it was just a bloody hole the thickness of a finger, but I didn't expect even the skull to be opened, this is too cruel, a little cruel I can't accept.
The sound of gunfire around me reminded me of where I was, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the discomfort caused by my body, so I quickly raised my gun to aim at the next target, but before I could shoot, there was no one alive in the clearing.
Three teams shot a group of people who were still asleep at the same time, and only one salvo sent them to hell, leaving me with no chance to shoot a second shot at all.
"Clean up the battlefield and see if there's any room left!" I took a deep breath and suppressed the churning sensation in my stomach.
Sika and Bili jumped into the battlefield first, and after looking around, I walked closer with a sniper rifle and took a look, and the enemy was basically shot in the head, only two were shot in the chest because of their position.
However, there was one phenomenon that caught my attention, and although each person had been fatally shot, there were bullet holes in other parts of the body, and two people were even beaten into a sieve.
This shows that everyone showed the usual level of training when they fired the first shot, but after the battle started, their brains were confused, and they unconsciously became nervous, and began to shoot at the enemy indiscriminately, but fortunately the enemy did not fight back, otherwise such a chaotic squad would inevitably have casualties.
The battle was won, which should have been a joyous thing, but there was no excitement on everyone's faces, but one by one they frowned bitterly.
Annie, Catherine, Natalie, the three girls rushed to the edge of the forest when they saw the guy who had half of their brains sniped off by me, and I also forced myself to vomit, but fortunately it was night, and everyone couldn't see my pale face.
Now I know that killing people in our combat training before and killing people with guns on the battlefield are completely different concepts, thinking of that face bursting in front of my eyes, I can't control the tremor in my heart, to be honest, I am even a little floating when I walk, although the others did not vomit, but it is not much better, from their non-stop deep breathing, it can be seen that they are just forbearing.
"Go back the way you came, retreat!" Not daring to delay the time, after confirming the total annihilation, I immediately beckoned everyone to retreat, although we all installed silencers, but the sound of the firing pin striking the primer was not small, especially in such a quiet night.
God knows if there are other enemies around, and at this moment, if you encounter another enemy army, it is estimated that you will not survive.
The group quickly evacuated the battlefield and returned to the top of the mountain according to the route they had come, the reason for this choice was because this road had just been crossed, and it was the only safe route that could be thought of at the moment, if they retreated to an unfamiliar place, in case they fell into the enemy's pile, my squad probably would not exist.
Back at the top of the hill, the sirens were rearranged around, Tim and Andrew were on guard on both sides, and the others sat down in a field of wild grass, in fact, everyone was not tired, because of nervousness, they all unconsciously gasped for a few breaths after sitting down.
